Chapter 118. Heirs (1)After the promotional events, Ren wanted to tour Seoul but because of his hectic schedule and him needing to prep the scrip of the «Heirs», he don"t have much time.
Even White bear was not able to tour Seoul properly because he was constantly in meetings with Korean reporters or producers.
There were many people who wanted Ren on their show as his popularity in Korea was increasing day by day.
The shooting of the «Heirs» also started early.
"I think we have to fix some lights there. They are too dim."
"Can you put that prop there. It"s a club, so we have to make it flashy."
"Please properly check the audio recorders and the cameras."
The shooting scene was in a club.
It was a scene in which Ren will talk with some of his business friends and meet the female lead, a top actress in Asia, Lee s.h.i.+n.
Her character was made Korean to gain more interest from the Korean viewers.
"Ren, we are ready to shoot the screen. Are you ready?"
Director Jang said to Ren as he came towards him. He had a rough beard and his belly was bulging.
"I am ready but where is Senior Xie Yujing?"
"She is still changing. The scene is in a club and she is playing a moody and arrogant actress, so we are focusing on her dress and makeup. The scene will be a beauty, trust me!"
It looks like Director Jang was very excited thinking about the scene as he kept talking about him.
As the scene was in a club, there were many extras present today.
Many female extras were also wearing short skirts and have done heavy makeup, to match the scene of a club.
"You are really lucky that you are going to perform a scene with Xie Yujing Noona, Hyung."
As Ren was standing there, someone approached him, it was Park Jooming, the second male lead and a Korean star.
He was still 18 years old, that"s why he was calling Ren "Hyung".
"Are you not going to do a scene with her too?"
"But I am still the second male lead. Most of the good scenes will be taken away by you."
Park Jooming said as he laughed.
As he was still 18, he was cheerful in his nature and he was talking to Ren casually because they were close in age.
Park Jooming was originally a member of a boy group in Korea. It was a rather famous boy group and he was the youngest member.
That"s why he was used to getting spoilt.
"You have good scenes too. When I had debuted, I had played a negative role instead of s second male lead."
Ren said as he thought about the day he regressed to the past and him getting the role of Jay.
It was a moment he can"t forget in his life.
"Yeah, I saw the movie when I got to know that I will be acting with you. Your role was really good in it."
"You think like that?"
"Yes, Hyung, it was really good and I also watched your drama. It"s pretty famous here currently."
Ren didn"t replied to Park Jooming"s blatant flattery because he saw Xie Yujing coming through the doors.
When she entered the set, everyone eyes focused on her.
Even Park Jooming looked at her like he was charmed by her.
"d.a.m.n!!"
Ren heard someone mutter that but he didn"t turned back to see who was the person that has said that because he was thinking the same thing.
Xie Yujing was wearing a really short dress and her beautiful thighs were revealed to the naked eyes.
Ren thought that many people will be bowled out by her when they will see her on the screen.
She was really portraying a bold role in the drama.
Ren felt the temperature heating up when he saw her approach him.
"Xie Yujing Noona, you are looking really good in your outfit."
Before Ren could even say anything, Park Jooming jumped at Xie Yujing, trying to act cute in front of her.
"Is that so? You are really sweet."
"No, I am just saying the truth."
They talked pleasantly for a while but Ren could see that Xie Yujing was just putting on airs.
She was not truly pleased talking to him but she was still acting that way.
On the flight, they had talked about many things and Xie Yujing had told him about her experiences when she had just entered the industry.
She had talked about how she was called for drinking parties with the producers and how some male actors would try to court her.
That"s why Ren felt that she was putting on airs. She was not the type to open herself to all the people.
She only showed her true self to the people close to her.
"What do you think? Is my dress good?"
Xie Yujing suddenly asked Ren and he replied while hiding his thoughts.
"I think it looks good. Audiences would really like it."
After that, Director Jang approached them to give them a brief description of the scene and how they had to perform it.
"The scene will be important as it would be the first meeting of the male and female lead and you have to act like your characters until I said cut."
He wiggled his fingers before continuing.
"Ms. Xie Yujing, just be in your character. Just act like you are the queen of s...o...b..z and show your wild nature. I don"t think I have to explain more to you."
Xie Yujing nodded at Director Jang"s words.
Her character was a top Asian celebrity who was always in the news because of her behavior.
She was arrogant and was not likeable at all but throughout the drama, her character would slowly change as she will become a better person for the male lead.
"Then, Ren, you don"t have much to do in the scene, you just have to stare at the commotion Lee s.h.i.+n will be causing outside. Just think of yourself as an aloof and cold businessman."
Ren"s character was from a big Chinese conglomerate. He was a born genius and a CEO at the age of 27.
He was known to have a cold personality and he rarely finds things that interest him.
It was somewhat difficult for Ren to play this role as the character have a complete different personality than him but he still choosed this project because he liked the character.
It was also good for his acting spectrum.
