75, MV female lead
The film set was bathed in warm sunshine in the afternoon, and a gentle breeze rustled through the green trees lining the street.
The crew members performed their duties diligently, and the props team, stagehands, and makeup artists worked in an orderly and efficient manner.
Lee Kyung-sung walked out of the rest tent with his manager, Na Yong-ho. As soon as they stepped out the door, their eyes were drawn to a bright spot in the distance.
In the designated support area on set,
Eight support vehicles, each adorned with a photo of the supporter, were quietly parked along the roadside.
Three adult women, armed with professional cameras and microphones, stood nearby, while several younger girls huddled together, heads down, quietly scrolling through their phones, occasionally glancing towards the rest area with expectant looks in their eyes.
Luo Yonghao whispered a reminder, "Those older women over there are your fan club managers. We've talked to them before. They're not only good at taking photos, but they're also skilled at managing fan communities and organizing support activities."
He gestured with his chin to the girls not far away, "Those young girls are all your die-hard fans. They all come from well-off families and genuinely like you."
The entertainment industry has never lacked talented actors. Everyone says that actors let their work speak for itself, but even the best works need attention and support to generate buzz and market demand, which in turn attracts more production teams and resources.
"Remember, do your job well and maintain a good relationship with your fans. This is a very important part of being an actor," Luo Yonghao earnestly advised, adding at the end, "By the way, your fan base will be officially named Cheng Guang from now on."
Li Jingcheng listened quietly, and roughly understood Luo Yonghao's deeper meaning. He was also familiar with some of the industry's rules regarding fan sites, core fans, fan management, and artist promotion.
He has always been adept at running a business.
He looked up at the few young girls beside the support truck, their faces full of expectation and their features still somewhat innocent. His previously calm expression instantly brightened with a lively smile, his eyes shining with an astonishing light, and he quickened his pace.
The surprise and excitement were clearly evident, yet perfectly measured, without appearing exaggerated.
"Wow! Oppa!"
A clear, soft voice suddenly rang out, breaking the brief silence. Several young girls, along with a few fan club members, immediately put down their phones, looked up at Li Jingcheng who was walking quickly towards them, waved vigorously, their eyes filled with excitement and joy.
Li Jingcheng's gaze landed precisely on three exceptionally familiar faces. Weren't these three girls the first fans he encountered?
He smiled, his tone gentle and familiar, and called out their names accurately, "Yoo Ji-na, Park Da-hee, Kim Soo-ah?"
The three girls' eyes lit up instantly, their faces filled with disbelief. The next second, overwhelming emotion surged within them, their eyes reddening, and warm tears streamed down their cheeks. "Wow! Oppa actually remembers us!"
The sudden tears made Li Jingcheng stiffen slightly. The usually composed and calm man was momentarily at a loss for words when faced with the pure and passionate love of his fans.
Fortunately, the fansite admins nearby were very understanding and perceptive. Seeing this, they immediately stepped forward, gently introduced themselves, and took the initiative to ease the atmosphere.
However, their overly familiar and intimate manner made the three girls, who had just shed tears, show a hint of displeasure. They had finally seen the person they had been longing to see, only to have the fan club leader steal their chance to talk.
Seeing this, Luo Yonghao immediately stepped forward to smooth things over, calmly taking over the topic and enlivening the atmosphere. He invited everyone to chat and take photos together, taking care of everyone in a considerate manner. Only then did he slowly calm down the girls who were having a little tantrum.
The fan club member smiled softly and said goodbye, her tone gentle and polite, "Jingcheng, we're leaving now. Filming must be tiring, so please take a good rest. We'll always be here for you."
Liu Zhina and the other girls waved along, their voices soft and full of expectation, "Oppa, good luck with your filming! We'll see you again next time~"
After the interaction, Lee Kyung-sung sincerely thanked all the fans present, and also gave special thanks to Im Yoon-ah for her support.
Amidst the lively and gentle atmosphere, a trace of regret quietly swept through Lee Kyung-sung's heart. Kim Ji-soo's image involuntarily surfaced in his mind, and he sighed silently.
It's a pity that Jisoo isn't here.
He inexplicably recalled a line that perfectly captured his feelings: "It's supposed to be a movie for three people, but I never get a name."
A faint sense of melancholy lingered in his heart, causing the smile on his face to fade slightly, and he looked somewhat preoccupied.
The fans left satisfied, and the scene gradually quieted down.
Luo Yonghao had actually noticed this, because the fan support truck was organized by the fan site manager, but she also contributed a lot, and the three little fans raised funds, one for each of them, so there was one extra truck besides the one for Lin Yoona.
Looking at Lee Kyung-sung's expression, Na Yong-ho asked, "Was this extra support vehicle a gift from Bae Joo-hyun?"
Lee Kyung-sung didn't hide anything, gently shaking his head, his tone softening, "No, it's YG trainee Kim Ji-soo."
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked up at Luo Yonghao and asked tentatively, "What do you think about me publicly thanking her?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Yonghao frowned slightly, silently wondering why an unknown trainee had suddenly appeared, but his expression remained unchanged.
Luo Yonghao bluntly rejected the idea, saying, "It's not a good idea. This approach won't benefit either of you or her. She's currently just an undebuted trainee, and her status is sensitive. Publicly involving her will only embroil both of them in controversy."
After a brief pause, he offered a sound solution: "If you truly want to thank her, there's no need to rush. You can specifically invite her to star in the music video for your upcoming solo album. This will not only fulfill your wish but also increase her exposure. Besides, Bae Joo-hyun and Kim Ji-soo are both top stars from their respective companies, so you could say that their companies secured these opportunities for her, thus reducing the risk of scandals."
"That's also a good option." Li Jingcheng had considered it, but sighed. Even if they filmed separately, it would still be quite risky.
Luo Yonghao was helpless as he watched Li Jingcheng struggle with his decision. If you insist on having it all, you can't keep hiding it forever. Besides, he has to do public relations work in advance. This is no longer an ordinary relationship.
However, if handled properly, Lee Kyung-sung's masculine charm can also be displayed.
Li Jingcheng didn't hesitate for long before he made up his mind: he would simply invite both of them to work together, so as not to betray either of their sincere feelings and to fulfill this tender relationship.
He simply couldn't bear to let down those who silently favored him.
Seeing Li Jingcheng's relaxed expression and restored state,
Luo Yonghao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his heart slowly calming down. But his relief wasn't absolute. If Li Jingcheng's new album's music video was to be filmed, the female lead would be incredibly sought after; it was uncertain whether either of the two trainees would even get a chance. He could only explain the situation to Jin Minzhu first.
"Jingcheng, come here quickly! It's your turn to act!"
Not far away, director Kim Do-hoon called out loudly, his face full of undisguised satisfaction.
The acting skills that Li Jingcheng displayed in one morning completely won him over, and he smiled much more than before, becoming more gentle and approachable.
Hearing the sound, Li Jingcheng snapped out of his reverie, instantly suppressing all his thoughts and melancholy, clearing his mind of distractions, and adjusting his state of mind.
He looked up at Han Ga-in, who was already dressed and ready, nodded slightly, and said in a clear and confident voice, "Leave it to me."
"I'll do my best today so everyone can finish work and leave early."
As soon as he finished speaking, he composed himself, walked towards the camera position, and instantly switched his gaze to Li Xuan, the gentleness he had shown when facing fans disappearing.
I think you just want to leave work.
Luo Yonghao shook his head slightly behind him.
With everyone fully immersed in the upcoming scenes, the atmosphere on set became formal again, and a new round of filming began smoothly.
