Chapter 28: Playing the role of a newlywed couple

Watching variety shows all night has given me two panda eyes and an increasingly heavy head.

Jiang Zhaohuan sipped the iced American coffee in his glass tiredly, trying to refresh himself.

He now understands why South Korean artists all have a glass of iced American coffee.

This is really a must-have for an acting career. I can't live without iced American coffee.

Since he had to shoot a commercial, he did not go directly to the beauty salon this time, but went directly to the shooting location to see what kind of look the brand manager wanted him to have.

Led by his agent Choi Jung-soo, newcomer Kang Do-hwan bowed all the way as he walked inside, only to find that the photographer had already started chatting with Kim Seol-hyun who had arrived earlier, as if they were discussing the makeup for the commercial shoot.

AOA happens to be in its comeback period, but Kim Seolhyun did not dye her hair the bright color that is typical of idols, and still maintains her black hair.

When she noticed Kang Do-hwan walking towards her, she put on a sincere smile, but there was a hint of tiredness in her smile.

Even with makeup on, the fatigue in her eyes could not be eliminated. It can be seen that she was doing this plan to get more exposure for the group.

I squeeze my daily sleep time to the minimum, and most of the time I rely on driving and styling to make up for my sleep.

Kim Seol Hyun smiled shyly, and bowed out of habit, forgetting that she debuted as an actor three years earlier than Kang Do Hwan:
"Hello, I'm Seolhyun from AOA. Thank you for your guidance."

"Seolhyun, I should learn more from you."

When Jiang Zhaohuan saw his senior bowing to him, he also bent down hurriedly. If he violated the etiquette taboo, he would definitely be criticized by the strict Peninsula netizens and forced to apologize publicly, so he would never neglect etiquette.

Photographer Yoon Yun-sik looked at the two people's heights and found that they were quite a match.

Originally, he was planning to shoot a family-themed film about siblings, but now he thinks it might not be impossible for a handsome man and a beautiful woman to play a young couple together?
Moreover, the collision between the popular female idol and the hot new male actor may attract more people's attention.

After weighing the pros and cons, Yoon Yoon-sik waved to the team of stylists on standby and expressed his ideas, which were unanimously agreed upon.

He walked directly to Jiang Zhaohuan and Jin Xuexuan and said:

"Xue Xuanxi, Zhao Huanxi, go and do your makeup first, and I will explain to you in detail how to shoot later."

"Inside."

The two walked towards the makeshift lounge, and after repeated consideration by the stylist, Kang Do-hwan changed his middle-parted hairstyle to a neatly smooth hair style.

Even the off-white sweater she paired it with was a bit loose.

He looked at himself in the mirror and knew without thinking that this was to highlight the feeling of being younger.

Under the guidance of photographer Yoon Yoon-sik, Kang Do-hwan finally understood the concept of this Samsung refrigerator advertisement.

It’s a complete departure from the usual routine, and the intention is to create the sweet feeling of a newlywed couple.

"Can you cook? If you can, it will be more convenient for filming, and we won't have to cut shots all the time."

As soon as these words came out, Kang Do Hwan and Kim Seol Hyun looked at each other.

People who can't cook can see the embarrassment in each other's eyes just by exchanging glances. The two smiled bitterly and shook their heads, saying that they can't cook.

Kim Seol Hyun obviously debuted earlier and is more talkative than Kang Do Hwan. She even half-jokingly said:
"If cooking ramen counts, I'm pretty good at it."

"Ramen definitely won't work. Who gets ramen from the refrigerator?" Yoon Yoon-sik smiled and looked at the staff beside him, and asked, "Does anyone know how to cook? A simple steak will do."

Jiang Zhaohuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he raised his hand and said:

"Does frying steak count? I can do that."

"Oh, of course steak counts. Look, even Seolhyun thinks cooking ramen counts!"

Yoon Yoon-sik snapped his fingers happily. It would be best if there was no need to use a stand-in.

He quickly asked the prop master to prepare the ingredients needed for frying steak.

Anyway, all these expenses were reimbursed by Samsung, and he even asked to buy a better quality Korean steak so that the photos would turn out better.

During the waiting period, Yoon Yoon-sik specially asked the two photographers to cultivate their relationship in a corner where no one was around in order to allow them to successfully enter the stage of newlyweds. Sitting on a single sofa, Kang Do-hwan's back was straighter than a pine tree, his eyes wandering awkwardly, his fingers on his knees tightening and loosening, and he really didn't know what to talk about.

He had no experience in love, and he didn't like to fantasize. He had never thought about what the scene would be like in the future when he married the girl he liked.

Kim Seolhyun was not too embarrassed when she sat down at first, but when she saw Kang Do Hwan's look, she felt a little at a loss.

She thought back to the mini-series "Orange Marmalade" that she was currently filming, and felt that her current situation was similar to that of the male and female protagonists in the show, with the boys being the passive party.

Normally, Kim Seolhyun is not the proactive type, but if she keeps silent now, the filming won't be able to proceed properly later.

In order to work smoothly, she had to lean forward and asked:

"Can I call you Do Hwan?"

"Yes, that's fine. Please do as you please, Senior."

Kang Jo-hwan, who was born overseas, doesn't care much about this aspect, and sometimes he feels that the senior-senior system on the peninsula is a bit oppressive.

Kim Seolhyun's eyes fell on Kang Do Hwan's face. His regular facial features were very handsome even when taken alone. No wonder he could become a highly-anticipated new actor just by playing the third male lead.

This face alone is enough to attract a large number of fans.

Kim Seol-hyun, who has more experience in emotional scenes, also boldly said:

"Then Do Hwan...don't call me senior, call me Seol Hyun? Just like when filming a TV series, the director may prioritize the kissing scene as the first scene in order to get both actors into the mood."

Kissing scene.

Just thinking of these two words, Jiang Zhaohuan felt his ears getting hot. He coughed dryly and nodded.

"Yes, then I will call you Seolhyun until the end of the filming."

"Well, Dohwan, do you have any hobbies?"

Kim Seolhyun tried hard to find topics to talk about. Chatting more could also distract her from the nervousness before the shooting. Besides, she had a certain curiosity about Kang Do-hwan.

When Jiang Zhaohuan heard this question, he didn't realize that it triggered his funny bone, and he tried hard to suppress the upward curl of his lips.

As for why you laugh?

He just felt that Kim Seolhyun seemed to be doing an interview, and she would never suddenly ask such a question during a normal chat.

After Jiang Zhaohuan stopped smiling, he pretended to be interviewed and answered the other party's questions seriously:

"I like extreme sports like diving, skydiving, and surfing. When I'm at home, I like playing games. Other than that, I don't seem to have any special hobbies. Ah... After my debut, I can add a hobby, which is sleeping."

Kim Seol Hyun didn't expect Kang Do Hwan to answer so seriously. She smiled and showed her big white teeth:

"I didn't expect you to be so brave, Cho Hwan. I never expected that~"

"Okay, what about your hobbies?"

"Well... right now, just like you, I want to have a good sleep."

Kim Seolhyun couldn't help but sigh when she said this. The last time she lay comfortably in bed and slept until she woke up naturally was during the Chinese New Year.

Ever since she became famous for her good figure, her already deadly schedule has become even more deadly.

In order to maintain her figure, she only eats vegetables and boiled chicken breast every day, except for the shots deliberately filmed in variety shows.

Jiang Zhaohuan murmured and nodded. Before he entered the circle, he really didn’t feel how tiring it was to be an artist.

Now that he has personally experienced how difficult it is for artists on the Peninsula, the corners of his lips slightly raised as he encouraged:
"Seolhyun, then try to have as few NGs as possible, finish the commercial as soon as possible, and go back to rest."

"Let's do our best together!"
