Chapter 431: Why not learn something else but the SM of Chuunibyou (3/3)
Since Bae Joo-hyun still had work to do later, Kang Do-hwan did not continue to stay with his girlfriend and took a car back home to study the script of "Parasite".
The script reading session has ended and now all we have to do is wait for the final makeup photos to be taken.
However, what Jiang Zhaohuan did not expect was that he received a special job before filming began. He was to shoot the theme song for Twice, a junior group from the same company, for their next comeback in Japan.
Logically speaking, it was still early for the shooting, but it was difficult to find free time in his schedule, so he simply started the shooting in advance.
Kang Do Hwan hasn't met with Twice for a while. The last time they met was at that not-so-pleasant dinner.
He thought about what he had said to Park Ji-hyo and felt that the meeting was quite awkward.
"Zhaohuan, I'll pick you up in about two hours."
"Okay, brother, you don't have to help me prepare dinner. The director wants me to lose some weight, saying that my figure is not suitable for the lower class."
"Yes, then I'll prepare an apple for you. It wouldn't be nice if you don't eat it at all."
"OK, no problem."
In order to get closer to the role he is going to play in "Parasite", Kang Do-hwan has had to diet and exercise during this period.
There is no way to lose weight rapidly in a short period of time without dieting.
Jiang Zhaohuan walked towards the shooting site and saw several people who were dressed like beautiful apprentices in a car repair shop.
What is the theme of this MV?
Did they let me make a guest appearance in the MV just to shoot some car racing scenes?
Thinking of this, he was secretly looking forward to the content of the MV shooting. Just as he was about to say hello, he heard Sana's voice in the background.
And it sounds very much like a narration, and it's in Japanese.
——"A world full of dreams and hopes, and then, LOVEY, which exists in a world overflowing with love."
——"With LOVEY, this world is a very happy place."
——"But one day, evil people who were dissatisfied with the happy world appeared, kidnapped 'LOVEY', and locked her in a cell..."
What kind of chuunibyou line is this?
What is LOVEY? Why are there villains and kidnappings?
Wait a moment.
Jiang Zhaohuan realized that something was wrong. The role he was going to play was definitely not a "LOVEY", so the only possibility left was that he was a villain? !
He held his forehead helplessly and walked towards Mina, saying:
"Mina, the narration Sana just said, could it be related to the MV?"
When Mingjing Nan noticed Zhaohuan behind him, a hint of cunning appeared in his eyes.
She deliberately took two steps back, put her hands on her chest with a frightened expression, and said something that made Do Hwan feel desperate:
"Oh no, the bad guy has appeared!"
The corner of Jiang Zhaohuan's mouth twitched violently. The worst thing really happened.
He now regretted answering the call from President Park and should not have agreed to participate in the filming.
Just by listening to the narration, you can feel that the content of the MV is related to the second-year syndrome. It is nothing more than Twice saving the world, and the role he plays is just a funny villain cannon fodder.
When combined with the word "LOVEY", anime works such as Magical Girl Sakura, Sailor Moon, Shugo Chara, etc. come to mind.
Jiang Zhaohuan lowered his head dejectedly. He held his forehead and asked with determination:
"So, I'm going to play the villain?"
"Yes, and he will be influenced by us in the end."
“…That’s really too bad.”
Mingjing Nan pursed his trembling lips, trying hard to hold back the laughter that was about to come out.
She stared at Zhao Huan with a sinister look, patted his shoulder and signaled her to watch her actions.
Jiang Zhaohuan looked up and noticed that Mina was posing like in Sailor Moon, with her hands placed in front of her armpits, giving the impression of a celebrity protecting her armpits.
He closed his eyes to show that he couldn't bear to watch it, and began to worry about the plot of the MV.
Lin Nayeon, who had just finished filming, noticed the situation and walked over with a smile. "Dohwan, you're here?"
"Nei, can you tell me about this shoot?"
Lin Nayeon quite likes the plot of this MV. It is not difficult and interesting to shoot.
Simple acting was not difficult for them. The most difficult one was probably Sana, who was responsible for the narration at the beginning.
Every time she heard it, she would scream at everyone to stop broadcasting it.
When Lim Nayeon heard Do Hwan's question, she smiled and patted his arm, explaining:
"Oh, to sum it up in one sentence, Chuunibyou saves the world~ and you are the unlucky villain boss who was assimilated by us."
It is indeed a chuunibyou plot. JYP could learn anything else but SM's chuunibyou setting.
"So, what is 'LOVEY'?"
"It's a cartoon character that looks a bit like a rabbit. You can think of it as a new way to make money."
Lim Nayeon was also thoughtful enough to find photos of LOVEY. They are indeed very cute original dolls. The different colors probably represent different members.
When Jiang Zhaohuan thought about the fact that the villain boss he played had kidnapped so many things, he felt that there was no hope.
He walked towards the MV director with a sad face, and after communicating with him, he realized that his role was not that big.
As the final BOSS, he appears at the end of the MV.
The rest of the time, there are bounty posters and hanging paintings that appear in the plot, so in addition to shooting the MV, a set of appropriate photos must also be taken.
"The final scene is that you slowly walked down the stairs, and then were touched by LOVEY's love. You knelt on one knee in front of the nine members and carefully picked up LOVEY, becoming their guardian knight."
"..."
Who wrote this plot with their feet?
The villain was reduced to a guardian knight, and was instantly influenced. Isn't that too weak? !
Listening to the director's explanation, Jiang Zhaohuan's face became uglier and uglier, and he started digging his toes into the ground.
Thinking that these so-called "LOVEY" had to be produced with CG technology, he had to kneel in front of Twice and try his best to perform a non-property performance.
Ah Xi, you might as well kill me, really.
Jiang Zhaohuan walked to the makeshift dressing room with a sullen face. He found an empty seat and sat down while a stylist was still tinkering with the new hairstyle.
Zhou Ziyu, who had just finished shooting the behind-the-scenes footage, walked in from outside. Seeing Do Hwan's expression, she couldn't help but tease him:
"Do Hwan Oppa, your expression of despair is so funny~"
Jiang Zhaohuan was in a state where he couldn't laugh at all. He asked speechlessly:
"You must have filmed quite a bit just now, right? Don't you think it's like playing house in kindergarten?"
"A little bit, but it's quite funny. The only thing is that the extras are a bit miserable. It must be painful to play the role of falling down the stairs."
Zhou Ziyu noticed the recent changes in Sana, and when she asked her, she refused to tell her anything.
So when she saw the opportunity to get close to Do Hwan Oppa, she wanted to tentatively ask him what was going on.
She pretended to be playing with her phone and sat beside him, patiently waiting for Do Hwan to finish his look.
It was not until the stylist left and they were the only two left in the room that Zhou Ziyu suddenly spoke:
“Do Hwan Oppa, did you…have a fight with unnie?”
"what?"
