Chapter 29 It's Not Easy Being a Female Artist

The shooting of commercials is not much different from that of TV dramas, and both actors have to give full play to their acting skills in the constructed venues.

But is there a difference? Advertising often requires interaction with the camera.

But when filming a TV series, you must never stare at the camera, otherwise it will make the viewers feel distracted.

After all, how could the people in the TV series know the existence of the audience?
Yoon Yoon-sik, who also serves as the advertising director, came in front of Kang Do-hwan and said while gesturing:
"Zhao Huanxi, you two can sit on the sofa and look through magazines later. Then you can ask her what she wants to eat. After getting a reply, just get up and go to the refrigerator to get the ingredients."

"Yes, do I need to pause when I open the refrigerator?"

"No, we'll shoot the close-up of the refrigerator afterwards, just focus on cooking the steak."

Yoon Yoon-sik looked at Kim Seolhyun beside him and took out a light blue apron from behind him.

He showed the male staff member beside him how to tie an apron and gave instructions:
"Xue Xuanxi, you will tie the apron for him from behind later, and then just stay by his side. We will also remind him of some small movements."

"Yes, I understand."

Under Yoon Yun-sik's arrangement, the two sat on the sofa and picked up the fashion magazines in front of them naturally.

Kim Seolhyun boldly leaned on Kang Dohwan's shoulder, and fortunately their heights were quite compatible.

This kind of action looks very beautiful and does not feel abrupt at all.

Jiang Zhaohuan could feel his heartbeat quickening due to the physical contact.

Not heart-throb.

It was pure awkwardness and nervousness.

He closed the magazine in his hand and looked down at Kim Seolhyun with a smile on his brows.

Ruifeng Eyes also come into play at this time, filled with deep affection:

"Seolhyun, it's almost lunch time. What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

"Um... steak, please?"

After a moment's hesitation, Kim Seolhyun gave the answer she had prepared in advance.

Jiang Zhaohuan reached out and rubbed Jin Xuexuan's head affectionately, then stood up and walked to the open kitchen at the back. He skillfully opened the refrigerator and found the best Korean beef steak inside.

After unpacking, use kitchen paper to absorb the moisture in the steak and sprinkle pepper and salt evenly on both sides.

He picked up the oil bottle and poured a little olive oil on the surface of the steak, then gently pressed it with his hands to allow the oil to penetrate into the meat.

After hearing the "look at each other" prompt from outside the venue, Jiang Zhaohuan raised his eyes and saw Jin Xuexuan lying on the sofa and staring at him.

Maybe he was in the right mood and treated the other person as his own wife, and there was a hint of doting in his eyes.

Heat the pan and heat oil.

Put the simply marinated Korean beef steak into the hot pan and wait for the juice to come out before turning it over.

Kim Seolhyun also came to the kitchen area at this time and picked up the light blue apron hanging on the wall.

I practiced it many times before filming, and this time I didn’t forget to tie a bow.

She also put her arms around Jiang Zhaohuan's waist and poked her head out like a coquettish little wild cat, with the upturned corners of her eyes really charming.

Kang Do-hwan, who received the signal, also looked to his side. After a sweet eye contact, he walked to the side, cut off the top part of the whole garlic, put it into the pot together with rosemary and thyme, and turned the steak over.

After another minute or two, when both sides were browned, cut a piece of butter into it.

Reduce the heat to low and wait for the butter to melt so that its milky flavor can be fully integrated into the steak.

Finally, you just need to seal the edges of the steak and the delicious steak is ready.

In order to make the dish look better, he imitated the presentation of those high-end restaurants and fried a few more asparagus and cherry tomatoes as garnish.

Seeing this, Yoon Yoon-sik's face was filled with smiles, and he raised his hand loudly and said:
"Click! OK! It's really fun to work with actors. It's a one-take shot!"

Hearing that there was no need to reshoot, Kang Do Hwan and Kim Seol Hyun couldn't help but look at each other. It seemed that they could finish today's work early.

After staying up all night, he really wanted to go back to the dormitory and have a good sleep.

Kim Seolhyun stared at the steak that had just been plated. She loved eating steak so much that she swallowed her saliva with greed.

Kang Do Hwan noticed the change in Seol Hyun's expression, looked at Yoon Yoon Sik with a smile, and asked:

"Director nim, can we eat this prop?"

"Not yet. I'm going to take a close-up of the steak."

Yin Yunzhi walked forward and wrinkled his nose. The smell of butter in the air really made him hungry. After thinking for a while, he said:
"How about you go over there and fry a few more pieces, Zhaohuan? I'm afraid you won't make a good mistake. But we bought about ten pieces, so why not fry them and share them among us?" He added silently in his mind: Anyway, Samsung, which is rich and powerful, will pay for it.

Jiang Zhaohuan didn't expect that he would have to serve as a chef while shooting an advertisement. He didn't refuse and ran to the other side with his equipment to start making the food.

Grilling steak over and over again is a boring task, but fortunately you will be able to enjoy delicious food later.

It took another forty minutes to grill all the steaks.

Jiang Zhaohuan took his portion and walked aside to start eating, but he noticed that Jin Xuexuan was sitting alone on the sofa, and from time to time he glanced eagerly at the staff who were loudly praising the delicious steak.

He was a little confused, so he walked over with the steak and asked:

"Seolhyun, don't you want to eat?"

"Ani, I'm in the recovery period, I definitely can't eat this kind of food with butter."

What made Kim Seolhyun feel embarrassed was that as soon as she finished speaking, her stomach started to growl with hunger.

I only had a small bowl of boiled broccoli and half a cup of protein powder for breakfast. It's already noon, it would be strange if I wasn't hungry.

Jiang Zhaohuan did not smile at this time. He cut a small piece of steak and handed it to Xuexuan:

"The calories in steak aren't actually very high, and it's okay to just eat a piece for taste. Even if you want to control your weight, you can't resort to dieting. Isn't your company too harsh?"

"Ani, the company...is actually fine...right?"

This kind of answer doesn't seem like it's okay, right?

I am so hesitant.

Kim Seolhyun, who loves eating, quickly glanced at her manager Oppa who was eating steak with the staff. After making sure that his attention was not there, she opened her mouth and swallowed the small piece of steak in front of her.

The rich milky flavor of butter, paired with the unique aroma of rosemary, the delicious taste of gravy bursting from the cracks and the spiciness of black pepper grains are really a perfect match.

Her eyes lit up and she covered her mouth with one hand to hide her chewing movements.

I also raised my thumb with my other hand and kept shaking it up and down. It was really unexpectedly delicious.

As a cook, Jiang Zhaohuan would naturally be happy to see that others like what he cooks.

He cut off another small piece of steak, and this time instead of handing it over directly, he tried to pass the fork to her.

"Would you like another piece?"

"No, no, just enjoy the taste... If I gain weight after my comeback, I will be sorry for the group and the company."

Kim Seolhyun quickly waved her hands, saying that AOA had finally gained some popularity and it couldn't be ruined because of her.

If you don't exercise self-discipline at a time like this, you will be scolded by your agent when you get on the scale at night.

“Then I’ll eat these.”

Jiang Zhaohuan had no bad intentions, he stood up and walked away.

It is somewhat unfriendly to feast on food in front of someone who can't eat.

After finishing the steak, the shooting continues.

But the next part is very simple, it consists of some solo shoots and print advertisements.

Constant temperature and humidity keep the food fresh, clean and sterile, and shape a healthy diet.

Refrigerator advertisements are nothing more than these introductions; anything too fancy is not appropriate.

After seven hours of filming, Jiang Zhaohuan bowed and said goodbye to all the staff. Before leaving, he also said hello to Jin Xuexuan:
"Seolhyun, I'm leaving now. I'll support you when you come back."

"Bye, Cho Hwan...xi."

Kim Seolhyun watched Kang Do-hwan leave, and felt a bit bitter when she heard that the other party changed his name after the cooperation ended.

She lowered her head and played with her fingers, not knowing what was wrong with her.

You can't have a crush on someone you meet for the first time, right?

Don't be ridiculous.
