Chapter 397 I Don’t Want to Be Her Stepping Stone

Filming TV series on the peninsula is completely different from filming in China.

During the filming process, 95% of the crews will not let the actors live together, which will increase the cost a lot.

So generally speaking, after filming today's scenes, everyone goes back home to see their own mothers.

Previously, "Train to Busan" rented a villa to the actors for use. The main reason was the generosity of the investors, and also because traveling back and forth to Busan was indeed tiring.

This time the crew's main filming is in Seoul, so there's no need for everyone to rush between two places.

As soon as Jiang Zhaohuan finished filming, he saw Liu Renzhi walking towards him with a smile on his face.

Perhaps he guessed something, and raised his eyebrows and asked:

"In-sik, could the coffee in your hand be from my support car?"

Liu Renzhi looked surprised, as it was normal for him to drink coffee on the set.

Why did Jiang Zhaohuan guess that he got it from the support food truck at once?

"Zhao Huan, what's wrong with your brain? How did you guess it just by taking a quick look?"

"Because you smiled particularly happily today, In-sik, free things are naturally the best. And you came to me with coffee, probably to inform me that someone sent me support."

"Hahahaha, you're worthy of being a top student at the Big Three. You're quite capable!"

Liu Renzhi smiled and patted Zhaohuan on the back, thinking of the dining car at the door, and praised it.

"You have a good network of contacts in the industry. Was it the same when you were on the crew?"

“Is there more than one dining car coming?”

"Yes, there were four support cars in total, two of which were sent by Twice members individually."

Jiang Zhaohuan was stunned when he heard this, and he had some guesses in his mind.

He raised the corners of his mouth and walked out of the studio, smiling and waving his hand:
"Then I'll go take some support certification photos."

"Go quickly, there's a lot of food to eat, don't overeat this time!"

When Jiang Zhaohuan arrived at the door, he found six support cars. What surprised him even more was that Park Ji-hyo actually gave him one in her personal name.

What does she mean by this? Paying the hush money twice?
No, it doesn’t seem to be that simple.

Jiang Zhaohuan couldn't help but take out his mobile phone to check the relevant information about Park Ji-hyo. He unexpectedly found that not long after she delivered the food truck last time, she received a personal makeup advertisement.

Moart is a new makeup brand founded in 2016 on the Peninsula.

This is Park Ji-hyo's first personal endorsement since her debut. Even if it is a niche new brand, it is better than no endorsement at all.

Jiang Zhaohuan raised his eyebrows, feeling that the timing of her getting the endorsement was a bit subtle.

He searched the brand Moart again and noticed that the designer responsible for the brand was actually his fan.

Among the ten posts on INS, five are about brands, one is about life, and four are about oneself.

Jiang Zhaohuan even felt that this girl was familiar to him. He must have seen her at offline activities.

He looked at the cheering food truck with Park Ji-hyo's face printed on it with a sullen face. The more he looked at it, the more he disliked it.

There is no way to confront each other openly, but we can issue warnings behind the scenes.

After taking photos with each of the support food trucks, Kang Do Hwan was rather perfunctory towards Park Ji Hyo's, and didn't even take the coffee from the food truck.

The rest of the group photos are more attentive, and the difference in treatment is obvious at a glance.

Bae Joo-hyun, who was standing by, was also taking a photo with the support food truck given by the members.

There were even some sent by senior Lin Yoona from the same company, who was obviously here to cheer up the younger ones.

After taking the photos, the two walked towards the studio with their favorite cheering food. As they walked, the distance between them gradually narrowed. Bae Joo-hyun thought of the scene she had just seen and couldn't help asking:
"Park Ji Hyo-xi sent you a food truck again? Are you threatening her?"

Jiang Zhaohuan staggered a bit, and said helplessly:

"Am I that kind of person? She discovered that she could get benefits from giving me a food truck, so she paid for another one out of her own pocket."

"Giving you a dining car can be beneficial? What do you mean?"

"Well, you can see for yourself."

After looking at a few screenshots, Bae Joo-hyun immediately showed an expression of understanding.

She really didn't expect that Zhaohuan had such a great influence.

Fans simply thought that Do Hwan and Park Ji Hyo had a good relationship, but they actually gave the latter the opportunity to get the endorsement.

Even if it is a niche new brand, it can increase a lot of exposure.

You have to know that the makeup market in the Peninsula has always been on an upward trend, and not everyone can afford big brands.

If I remember correctly, last year, half of the sales rankings of Olive Young were occupied by local niche brands in the peninsula.

Since her debut, Bae Joo-hyun has always been the most popular member of the team, but she does not have many personal endorsements.

The number of endorsements in the early 16 and 17 only added up to five.

But when she thought about it carefully, it seemed that since Do Hwan's identity was revealed, she suddenly had three more endorsements.

Among them, becoming the brand ambassador of Estee Lauder was the most unexpected thing for Bae Joo-hyun.

She lowered her head and thought for a moment, wondering if she was able to get this endorsement because of Zhao Huan?
Bae Joo-hyun returned the phone to Do-hwan, and she was a little curious about what he would do.

"How are you going to deal with this? Who knows, she might send you off every time she joins a new crew in the future."

"Of course I want her to stop this boring behavior. I don't want to be a stepping stone for her to get advertising endorsements."

Kang Do-hwan held his phone expressionlessly, posted all the photos on INS, and then went straight to Sana who also sent him a support car.

He didn't have Park Ji-hyo's contact information, so he naturally asked her teammates to help convey the message.

[Kang Do Hwan]: I received your support car. The grapefruit soda is delicious. I haven’t eaten the burger yet but it looks delicious.

[Minatozaki Sana]: I saw it on Instagram~Hamburgers are what we often order!
[Kang Do Hwan]: Sana noona, I have a favor to ask of you. If it’s convenient, please tell Park Ji Hyo directly for me.

Minatozaki Sana was a little surprised when she saw So Huan calling the captain by his full name on the screen. He usually called him "Nuna" out of politeness, so why did he use his full name this time?
Did Jihyo do something?

[Kang Jo Hwan]: Park Ji Hyo, please don't spend money to give me a food truck. If you want to rely on me to get more, you should first see if our relationship can be called "friends". I hope you are not so stupid that you can't see the meaning of my words, and don't be smart and show off your brain. I didn't say it too directly because you are a member of Twice, so you should be careful.

[Kang Zhaohuan]: You can just show her this passage directly.

Minatozaki Sana didn't expect that Zhaohuan would be so disgusted with Jihyo. She frowned slightly, trying to judge the meaning of his words.

She was smart and quickly understood the meaning of the words.

The so-called "rely on", in other words, isn't it "utilize"?

Minatozaki Sana pursed her lips, then stood up and walked out of the house.

The living room was filled with the members' laughter.

She had no choice but to force a smile and trot over.

“Jihyo!”

"Inside?"
