Chapter 437 Taking a Plane to See You (1/2)

The main filming location for "Parasite" was in Seongbuk-dong, Seoul.

The surrounding area is all residential, so if you want to take pictures here, you must get the consent of all residents.

When director Bong Joon-ho started filming the first scene, he did not forget to cheer Kang Do-hwan up.

He smiled and said that most of the residents disagreed at first, but some of them signed the consent form after hearing that Song Kang-ho was a member of the crew, and some others signed the consent form after hearing that Kang Do-hwan was present.

"Zhao Huan, you are one of my lucky benefactors. I would like you to help me deliver some small gifts to the residents around here."

"No problem, this is what I should do."

"Hahaha, by then I'm afraid someone will pester you to take a photo with them. Your popularity is really amazing~"

Jiang Zhaohuan smiled shyly. He was also quite surprised that someone would sign the consent form just because of him.

When it came time to officially shoot the first scene, his delicate acting did not disappoint Bong Joon-ho.

Bong Joon-ho, standing behind the monitor, looked at Song Kang-ho beside him with a proud look on his face. At this moment, silence was louder than words, as everyone could tell that someone was proud of his casting skills.

After "Cut" was called out, Song Kanghao said bluntly:
"What are you so proud of? It took you a long time to decide to look for Zhao Huan. I see you almost missed the treasure!"

Bong Joon-ho smiled awkwardly. He had indeed not included Do Hwan in the invitation list at first.

He coughed twice, gave the assistant coach beside him a look, and then said:

"Ahem, can you please not talk about this? The ending is good, isn't it?"

"Next time if there's a good script, give it to Chao Hwan if it's appropriate. Don't always drag me into filming. People will think there's something going on between you and me!"

Bong Joon-ho instantly revealed an expression of disgust. Young people nowadays have very strong tastes and don't even let old uncles off.

He couldn't understand those guys who could pair up with others as long as there was a little interaction.

I can barely respect it, but when I think about this kind of thing happening to myself, I still can't respect it.

Jiang Zhaohuan, who had just finished his first scene, walked quickly to the monitor and asked with a smile:

"Director Nim, is this one okay?"

"Okay, keep going like this."

"That's good."

The first day's shooting lasted twelve hours, and of course there were breaks during that time, but they were relatively short.

The shooting process was not very time-consuming, but traveling to multiple locations for shooting was the most time-consuming.

After all, it felt like we were sitting in the car for two hours.

The filming lasted for a month, during which time "Romantic Doctor Kim Season 2" also came to its finale.

The finale had a high viewership rating of 34.2%, which is definitely the ratings champion of SBS TV station in recent years.

No, to be precise, it is the ratings champion of all TV dramas in recent years.

The SBS TV station's grand awards at the end of the year will definitely go to their crew. Who knows, they might even get the Best Couple Award, which is not very valuable but is something that Kang Do Hwan really wants to get.

The long-awaited holiday finally arrived, but it was not a very good day for Jiang Zhaohuan.

Why do you say that?

Because of the soaring popularity of my girlfriend, when the group entered the Japanese market, the response was much greater than before.

Although Red Velvet's original popularity was not low, they still had no room to fight back when fighting against two giants, Twice and Blackpink.

But now the top member of the group, Irene, has starred in the highest-rated TV series at the moment, plus subsequent endorsements of luxury brands and national brands, successfully pushing the group's popularity to a new peak.

The result of the surge in popularity is a death journey.

After returning home, Jiang Zhaohuan curled up on the sofa where only one person was sitting, looking a little pitiful.

He held his phone and found the pinned bar skillfully, then started asking questions.

[Kang Jo-hwan]: Are you coming to my place tonight? I'll pick you up.

[Bae Joo-hyun]: No, I'm in Tokyo.

[Kang Jo-hwan]: Mo? Why did you go to Tokyo?

[Bae Joo-hyun]: I have a clapping meeting tomorrow, and I will go back the day after tomorrow. Kang Do-hwan instantly fell into an emo mood. You know, he will go back to the crew the day after tomorrow, and he will come home very late every day, so there is no way for his girlfriend to come to his house.

He sat in his seat for a few seconds before opening the app and starting to browse flights from Seoul to Tokyo.

Since Bae Joo-hyun is not in Seoul, can't he just go to the city where she is?
Jiang Zhaohuan was very proactive. He did not tell his girlfriend or even his agent that he was going to Tokyo.

It was not until he went to Incheon Airport that he thought of reporting his sudden trip.

"Brother Chunhao, I'm going to Tokyo now."

"Oh, you're going to Tokyo, then you..."

At first, Che Chunhao didn't realize where Do Hwan was going. After he repeated the name of the city, he widened his eyes and said loudly,

"What?! What are you doing in Tokyo? You have to go back to the crew tomorrow morning!"

"I'll be back around midnight and I promise I'll be able to make it in time for the shoot, don't worry. Hang up, I'm going to turn on airplane mode."

Listening to the busy tone coming from the other end of the phone, Che Chunhao covered his forehead with his hands in a headache. It was obvious that his artists had always been well-behaved in the past and would never do such a thing as acting first and reporting later.

Is this a belated rebellious phase?
No, he had to find someone to settle the score with.

Cha Chunhao searched in the address book and dialed the number of Red Velvet's manager Lim Hyun-kyun.

Lin Xuanjun, who was far away in Tokyo, was still thinking about what souvenir to buy for his girlfriend when he received an unexpected call.

He answered the call from Che Chunhao, and before he could say anything, he heard "Ahsi" from the other end.

"Ah Xi! Your artist has kidnapped my artist again!"

"What? Are you talking about Do Hwan?"

"Who else could it be if not Do Hwan? Are you in Tokyo?"

Lin Xuanjun nodded subconsciously, and then he said, thinking that the other party couldn't see him:
"Yeah, Red Velvet is here to hold a clapping party, shouldn't I come over?"

"Then please help keep an eye on him. Do Hwan is already on the plane to Tokyo."

Lin Xuanjun was stunned when he heard this. Since their relationship was no longer a secret, he and Che Chunhao often exchanged each other's artists' schedules.

He scratched his cheek and asked in a somewhat confused tone:

"Huh? Isn't he filming? How did he have time to come to Tokyo? Did Parasite wrap up so quickly?"

"I just ran over there on a day off. You can't mess with young lovers in their love period~"

"Okay, I understand. I'll keep an eye on it."

"OK, thank you for your hard work."

After Lin Xuanjun hung up the phone, he was thinking about whether he should tell Irene about this in advance.

But thinking that this was a surprise between a young couple, it would be terrible if I broke it and someone got angry at me.

Pei Zhuxuan, who was completely unaware of the situation, was lying on the bed with her eyes closed to rest. She also did not forget to make a hand mask for herself in advance, as tomorrow's clapping meeting would definitely be a fierce battle.

Some fans with poor quality will deliberately hit hard, and then feel smug when they see themselves in pain afterwards.

Kim Ye-rin, who was lying on the bed next to her, was playing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds with Seulgi in the next room. The gunshots in the game could not cover up the screams of the two from time to time.

Especially the kid Kim Ye-rin, every time she shoots a gun, she turns into a monkey.

It seems that the faster you move your lips, the faster the gun will fire.

"Ohhhh! They're all wiped out. Come on, let's loot the loot!"

"Hey, you should leave me some energy drinks."

Bae Joo-hyun listened to the two people's noisy voices, looked at the phone which was silent, and had a strange expression on her face.

It’s strange, how come he disappeared in the middle of the conversation?
I can't come to Tokyo on a business trip by myself, otherwise he would be unhappy and upset.

After thinking it over, Bae Joo-hyun decided to give her a call.

who knew...

The phone is turned off?!
