Chapter 50 Volume 2 End (Second Update Seeking Recommendations and Bookmarks)
Sorry, I Love You's production team changed investors and reorganized to start filming again without making it public. The media only found out that the audition for the male lead was suddenly cancelled, but nothing else is known.
Since the So Ji-sub military service incident, it's unclear whether to be happy or worried. Many entertainment reporters also turned their attention to the drama team, hoping to dig up some news to boost newspaper sales. At this time, the sudden and inexplicable end of the casting activity, without notifying the outside world as usual, immediately sparked the interest of these entertainment reporters.
Is KBS going to axe this drama or is it preparing for an indefinite delay? If that's the case, then the Suzy Bae anti-fan incident that caused a stir earlier might be able to stir up some leftover rice again. After all, this could be the first TV drama to get axed due to anti-fans.
On the other hand, they are guarding KBS's main building and annex building, hoping to catch important figures from TV stations or drama crews and get first-hand information.
This is the second day Ahn Hyun-ho has returned, but he hasn't gone to the drama team yet. Instead, he went to the hospital to visit So Ji-sub. Since the 30th, when So Ji-sub announced that he would enlist after recovering from his injury, the anti-fan backlash on the internet had temporarily subsided, and another result was that the number of reporters waiting outside the hospital suddenly decreased by half.
Riding in the van, when entering through the main gate of the hospital, there were only a few reporters, who raised their cameras and took a few shots. This was far from the situation last time, when they almost overturned the car, making Quan Baogen breathe a sigh of relief. He then sighed: "Alas, Su Zhihao is finished this time, his reputation damaged, he'll have to re-enlist for two years and start all over again - if it weren't for these idiot reporters stirring up trouble, how could things have gotten so big? Now that there's no more sensational news, they've all run far away, a bunch of scoundrels!"
Assistant Kim Hoon, who was driving, smiled and replied, "That's what reporters are like, Uncle Baegun."
"Yes, I don't know what we'll be like in the future... Bah! What nonsense am I thinking?" Quan Baogen gave himself a light slap on the ear. Behind him, An Junhe burst out laughing and said "children's words are innocent", amidst the laughter, the car turned past the outpatient building in front and drove into the parking lot behind."
A huge parking lot, there are not many large parking spaces available, except for medical use cars, only one corner has a dedicated area for large vehicles. When Jin Xun drove over, he found that a minivan was already parked there.
"That's a Mercedes, right? Ah, it's much better than ours." After getting out of the car, Jin Xun circled around the minivan several times, sighing and clicking his tongue. Quan Baogen glared at him, but he also felt that the license plate number of this minivan was very familiar, just couldn't remember it for a moment.
As they went upstairs to Su Ji-hoon's hospital room, he suddenly tapped his forehead: "The license plate number of that minivan was probably..." Before he could finish speaking, the elevator arrived at their floor and the doors opened. A woman wearing large sunglasses and dressed in low-key black sportswear appeared before them, followed by a middle-aged woman who looked like an assistant.
The moment he saw the woman, Kwon Bobae hastily pursed his lips and pulled Ahn Jun-hee, who was playing with his phone out of boredom, and whispered, "It's Ha Ji-won!"
An Junhe was taken aback and didn't have time to see what the woman looked like, so he quickly bowed 90 degrees and greeted her: "Hello, Senior Hae Soo-young!"
Outside the elevator, Jo Hyeon-jae, who was about to enter with his assistant, froze for a moment, probably not expecting to run into his junior in the entertainment industry. He then nodded slightly and said, "You too."
Several people rushed out, respectfully watching her enter the elevator. To An Jun-he, Ha Ji-won was a true senior, debuting early and having a big reputation. In front of her, neither he nor Kwon Bo-geun, as his agent, had the qualifications to speak much. Being able to greet her and get a response was already not bad.
It was Ha Ji-won, who slightly moved the sunglasses that covered half of her face before getting on the elevator, revealing her eyes as she looked at Ahn Joon-young and smiled, "Are you going to see Ji-hwan?"
"Yes! I came to see Senior Soo Ji Hwan once before, but I might not have much time later, so I wanted to come visit again." Ahn Jun Hee said respectfully.
"Have you been here before?" She slightly widened her eyes, and suddenly there was a hint of surprise in her gaze. "Oh, you're Ahn Jun-heo, right? Hehe, Ji-soo just mentioned you to me, saying you came to see him even before I did. You're quite the loyal newcomer."
"Senior, you're overpraising."
"Haha, don't be so formal, you're Zhi Xue's friend and I'm also friends with Zhi Xue, we have this kind of relationship, no need to always use polite language...I still have things to do today, let's catch up again next time!"
"Yes, senior, please go ahead!"
As the elevator doors slowly closed, Ahn Jun-heo straightened up, and at this time, Gwon Baek-roo, who had not dared to interrupt earlier, came over with a mixture of excitement and resentment: "This is Ha Ji-won, ah - you little scoundrel, why didn't you ask for her phone number just now?"
"Huh?" An Junhe turned his head and looked at him, "Baogen Shu, are you her fan?"
"Uh..." Quan Baogen's face turned red, and then his eyes widened, "What fan or not a fan, I'm thinking for your own good. It's not easy to meet such a famous senior, so we should create opportunities to communicate more!"
"...He gave him a few weird looks, An Junhe raised one little thumb, "Uncle fan with a deceitful mouth!"
Jin Xun couldn't help but burst out laughing at the side, and even Che Yuancheng, who usually had a cold face and was almost invisible, had some twitching at the corner of his mouth.
Quan Baogen's face turned red with rage, and he shouted loudly: "Hey, can't Uncle chase stars? Seeing so many young and beautiful female celebrities, can you understand the longing in Uncle's heart as he begins to decline?"
"It's too subtle to say thirsty, Baogen Shu, why not just say hungry and thirsty!"
"Ah..."
……
After the last visit, the relationship with So Ji-sub has become quite close. The two of them chatted in the ward, while Kwon Boa and other agents and assistants were chatting outside.
An Junhe told him that he got the male lead, "... probably won't have much time to see you later, when it's time for physical examination and enlistment, give me a call, I'll introduce you to those comrades."
"Hehe, even if you don't say it, when the time comes for me to join the army, I'll give you a call. Who wouldn't want an easy job? My body can't take the strain." Su Zhihao smiled without being polite and congratulated him again: "You're already the male lead as a newcomer, it's not easy at all, I'm really envious of you... If you have any acting problems in the future, feel free to ask me. Although I'm also half-baked, my experience is still more than yours, so I can be of some help."
An Junhe smiled and said, "Alright, it's settled."
They chatted for a while longer, but since An Junhe still had to rush to the crew to report, he bid farewell and left soon after.
He could only help arrange some light work and resolve the issue of breach of contract. That was all he could do to help So Ji-sub, and perhaps that still wouldn't make up for the trauma So Ji-sub had suffered as a result of being implicated, but that could be dealt with after his discharge.
In 2 years' time, An Junhe didn't believe he couldn't mix it up to a degree where he could promote others!
After a few days of suspension, the reorganized crew is no longer at KBS Annex. After all, with the change in investors, only a small portion of the investment amount remains with KBS TV, which cannot provide an office location. The crew has rented a large warehouse as a temporary office, still on Yeouido Island, because the TV station's recording studio will be lent to the crew for use, so the distance is shorter and time won't be wasted.
It's already September now, and according to the agreement between KBS and Park Young-joon, the drama must be broadcast in mid-November, leaving only two months, which is too short a time, so every bit of time counts.
So today, although it's the first day after reorganization, the crew gathered all the actors and prepared to start filming from today. The entire crew was divided into two parts: one part went abroad with An Junhe, who played the male lead, to film some scenes, while the other part stayed in the country to film other scenes.
This will inevitably lead to increased expenditure and management difficulties, but in order to save time, who can think of so much.
When I arrived at the location of the crew, the huge warehouse was already crowded with people. The dense iron wire mesh divided the warehouse into many small spaces to separate different areas and avoid chaotic division of labor due to randomly arranged tables. Many staff members were busy running around, even actors couldn't stay idle, helping to move tables, props, and document boxes.
When An Junhe arrived, the entire warehouse seemed to quiet down for a moment. People subconsciously stopped their work and looked at him, their eyes mixed with various expressions: curiosity, surprise, admiration, fear, jealousy, and contempt born of jealousy.
There are no walls that don't leak in the TV station. The news that An Junhe was appointed as the male lead by a new investor has spread throughout the crew over the past two days, and even all the actors know about it. They won't consider deeper issues, just gossiping and guessing what background An Junhe has or if he's just lucky to be favored by the investor.
To these people, An Junhe ignored them all, still maintaining his humble style, as if nothing had happened, greeting them casually while looking for the main office area, the director, screenwriter and other leading actors should already be waiting there.
"Junhe, come here!" From a distance, Li Qingxi smiled and beckoned, shouting as she saw An Junhe appear. Probably the entire crew was the only one whose impression of An Junhe hadn't changed, still loving him as always.
Next to her, Director Lee Hyun-min's gaze was complex and he didn't say a word. Joo Ji-young smiled slyly, who knows what kind of mischievous idea she had in mind. Sitting next to her was a young man who looked silent and awkward, probably the temporary male lead they found over the past two days.
Among these people, in a corner, Lin Xiujing, delicate and elegant, was like a water lily hidden under a lotus leaf, quietly blooming, unobtrusive yet captivatingly beautiful, especially when she smiled softly.
In the next few months, I will be spending time with these people!
An Junhe thought, and quickly walked away!
