Chapter 51: We Meet Again Twice
The filming of "Train to Busan" is nearing completion.
Because the crew has to go back to Seoul today to reshoot other scenes.
Kang Do-hwan, who has no part to play, can finally go back to Seoul and have a good rest for a day.
What Jiang Zhaohuan didn't expect was that the nanny car did not drive towards the familiar Shengshui Cave.
Instead, I came to Seocho-dong, a place I had rarely been to.
Jiang Zhaohuan took off the steam eye mask in confusion and asked:
"Jungsu, is there any other work?"
"President-nim has arranged for you to be the spokesperson for the school uniform brand Skoolooks. You will be filming with Twice, who are from the same company, and he hopes you can boost their popularity."
Kang Do-hwan, who has only one film and television work to his name, appeared in the variety show "Crime Scene Season 2" which was aired not long ago.
Due to his excellent reasoning and insight, he was given the title of "famous detective" by the audience.
His killing spree in "Running Man" also allowed many people to see a different side of Kang Do Hwan.
Everyone thinks he looks thin, but he has excellent athletic ability.
There are very few people who can beat Kim Jong Kook in a one-on-one match after constantly shuttling between the corridors, which proves that he is indeed very powerful.
The Peninsula media also called him the type of person who "never wastes his efforts."
No matter what he shoots, he can successfully attract fans in that field.
As a result, he has not produced many works, but his popularity has been growing by leaps and bounds.
The number of followers of Jiang Zhaohuan on INS has now reached 429 million. Considering that he created the INS account only 3 months ago, the speed of increasing followers is already very amazing.
Moreover, the number of likes for birthday photos has exceeded 400 million, almost as high as the fan base.
Kang Do Hwan naturally understood the company's approach, as he had not met with Twice members for some time.
The last time we met was in June, and summer is almost over now.
It was also after the show was broadcast that he saw the KakaoTalk message sent by Minatozaki Sana and learned that the previously eliminated Momoya Hirai had joined the Twice group and served as the main dancer.
Since he had never known about it, Jiang Zhaohuan didn't expect that the silly and cute Momo Hirai was actually good at dancing, his natural enemy.
However, under the hard guidance of the company's dance teacher, Jiang Zhaohuan's current dancing level is comparable to that of C-level company trainees.
He is the type who can learn well as long as he works hard, but he lacks a little bit of talent.
When the nanny car stopped in front of a building in Seocho-dong, Kang Do-hwan put on his sports bag and got out of the car and walked into the building.
After explaining the situation to the front desk, I headed to the shooting location on the second floor.
Before I even entered the door, I heard the sound of girls making noises from inside.
There really isn't much difference from the previous filming of the show, and he's still full of energy.
"Ah! It's Do Hwan oppa!"
As expected of Kim Da-hyun, a camera expert, she is also the fastest at spotting people.
"Ohhhh~ Did Oppa bring us anything delicious?"
Jiang Zhaohuan looked speechlessly at Minatozaki Sana, who followed Kim Dahyun in calling him Oppa, and he raised his hand to hit her on the head.
But he felt that as a younger man, it was inappropriate for him to do this, so he naturally withdrew his hand:
"Don't act younger than you are. Noona should look like Noona."
"So what's the food?"
Minatozaki Sana puffed her lips, feeling a little puzzled. In fact, according to Japanese age, she was very young, and she and Kang Jo-hwan could barely be considered the same age, with only a few months difference between them.
Jiang Zhaohuan spread his hands to indicate that he did not bring anything. Seeing everyone's disappointed expressions, he smiled bitterly and said:
"I just found out that we're going to be filming a commercial here. I'll treat you guys to a meal after the filming is over. Is that okay?"
Obviously, I am not even older than some of the members present. It turns out that being a senior means I have to shoulder a lot of responsibilities.
"Great, there's food to eat, let's grill some meat, grill some meat!"
"Ani, Zhao Huanxi, don't be too nice to them. We are going to debut our album in October. The company asked us to control our weight. If they eat barbecue, they will lose control."
Park Ji-hyo, the team leader, heard this and quickly spoke up.
Kang Do-hwan didn't have a deep impression of Park Ji-hyo, he just remembered that her eyes were really big.
He smiled and said that he understood and he had deeply felt the need for female artists to control their weight.
Shooting school uniform advertisements is not difficult, and the brand owners do not require dynamic shots. All you need to do is show a sunny and cheerful side.
The average age of Twice members is not very old, and many of them are still in high school.
If we talk about the busiest person when shooting commercials, it must be Kang Do Hwan.
The group can evenly distribute the different styles of school uniforms, but there is only one member, Kang Do-hwan, and there happen to be nine sets of men's school uniforms.
He kept changing clothes and taking different individual, couple and group photos with Twice members.
Having just changed into a blue suit and a red bow tie, Kang Do-hwan looked like a Japanese elementary school student in cosplay when he saw the black-framed glasses handed to him by the stylist.
As requested by the photographer, he actually picked up a magnifying glass and made an inquiring expression to the camera together with Chou Tzuyu, who was taking a photo together.
Jiang Zhaohuan was once again grabbed by the stylist, and after his hair was re-parted to the side, he changed into the last set of black and red school uniform.
When he arrived at the shooting site, he saw that his final partner was Twice member Sana Minatozaki. The two can be said to have a relatively familiar relationship, and the messages of their interactions on KakaoTalk are second only to the talkative Gao Zixiang.
The photographer stared at the two of them for a while. The previous subjects were similar. He couldn't help but ask:
"Dohwan, for the last group, let's try the campus couple style? Is that ok?"
"Yes, sure."
Under the guidance of his senior Gong Yoo, Kang Do Hwan has learned how to shoot emotional scenes.
Moreover, this kind of advertisement only requires a little interaction at most, which is not a difficult thing for him to do.
Under the photographer's guidance, they looked like an ordinary high school couple, doing homework with their heads touching, or sitting on the steps sharing headphones.
These actions are not very intimate, but they give off an atmosphere of friendship rather than romance.
Several members who love watching Korean dramas couldn't help but gather together and make a noise, making the thin-skinned Minatozaki Sana's face red. In the end, she didn't dare to look up at Kang Do Hwan even after the filming of the commercial was finished.
Minatozaki Sana, who is always as lively as a little Shiba Inu, unexpectedly has this side.
Jiang Zhaohuan was quite surprised. He reached out to help pick the petals from her hair and threw them aside, saying:
"Have you guys decided what to eat later?"
Yu Jeongyeon, who was wearing a long wig, saw that the filming was over, and quickly took off the wig that was so stuffy, and suggested:
"Zhao Huanxi, how about we go to the restaurant near the company? We always went there when we were trainees. Auntie was very nice to us and would always give us extra."
"Sure, I want to eat the egg rolls made by my aunt~ and spicy food!"
"I haven't been to that store in a while. Hey, Do Hwan Oppa, let's go there!"
