Chapter 90 What does it mean that he can be nominated but not win the award?
To catch up on his new filming schedule, Kang Woo-jin left for New York the following afternoon. Before boarding the plane, he received a message from Kim Tae-yeon.
The content is roughly about what good food and fun things to do in Jeonju.
To Jiang Youzhen's surprise, Jin Zhiyong suddenly sent him a message asking if he would come to Jeonju for the New Year.
"I thought this person had forgotten about me too, turns out they changed their number as well."
The unfamiliar number and the self-introduction brought Jiang Youzhen some comfort.
Fortunately, he wasn't forgotten, but why did Jin Zhiyong suddenly contact him?
Rushing to board the plane, Jiang Youzhen could only reply hastily to end the conversation. There was still a rush from New York, and he hadn't even finished reading Tony's message yet, so he didn't have much time to deal with Jin Zhiyong.
With a flight time of over ten hours, by the time he has time to reply, it won't be available in China so soon.
The first to reply was not Kim Tae-yeon, but Kim Ji-yong. However, Kim Ji-yong's reply also explained why she suddenly contacted him.
One reason is that the movie is about to be released, and the publicity has reached local cities, so its popularity has increased.
Secondly, Kim Tae-yeon contacted her family, telling them that she would be home for New Year's Eve with friends, and also mentioned Kang Woo-jin.
After learning the reasons, Jiang Youzhen sent a message to Jiang Jingshu, asking her to send some movie tickets to Jeonju.
After resting for half a day in Manhattan and adjusting to the time difference, Kang Woo-jin went out with a cup of coffee.
As Christmas approaches, the streets and alleys of New York are adorned with red, various decorations, street performers dressed as Santa Claus, and families taking advantage of the holiday season to go shopping.
Jiang Youzhen went to Tony's house and brought him Christmas gifts he bought in China. The cute and adorable gift earned him a sweet kiss from Tony's daughter.
Tony, with a dark expression, pushed his daughter back into the house, said something to his wife, and then pulled Jiang Youzhen out.
"Anders, that's my daughter, she's only three years old."
"I know, so I only let her kiss my cheek."
...
Under Tony's disapproving look, Kang Woo-jin grinned and said, "Please, Tony, I'm not so heartless as to have feelings for a three-year-old girl. I mean... I see Emma as my own daughter."
"Screw you, let's get going and hurry up," Tony said, giving Kang Woo-jin a disdainful look.
After the two got into the car, they quickly set off. Tony noticed that the route wasn't heading outwards but towards the city center, and asked with some confusion, "Anders, aren't we going to the film set?"
"Okay, but before that, come with me to the mall. I need to buy something."
"For Christmas?"
"Hmm," Jiang Youzhen nodded. He was going back to his country after the movie premiere, so he wanted to buy gifts to take back home while he had some free time.
Furthermore, he also had to buy the necessary items for Mads Wu, and because of this, Mads Wu even took a list with him when he left.
There were dozens of orders, but fortunately some of them were duplicates, which saved a lot of time. If Mads Wu didn't have a large SUV, he really wouldn't want to run errands for him.
On the way, Tony didn't waste any time. He took a folder out of his briefcase and told Kang Woo-jin about the things he had been organizing over the past few days.
Besides the casting already being finalized, there's also the issue of set design. One of the film studios he worked with before had a villa specifically rented out to film crews. The price wasn't expensive, and given their filming efficiency, at a normal pace, they could finish filming in less than a month.
"Based on our experience from the last shoot, two cameras should be enough. And as the script says, the entire shoot will take place inside the house, so even our neighbors might not know we're filming. I estimate this time it will take about half a month to complete."
Tony had great confidence in their efficiency. Looking at the contents of the document, he added, "Also, there's an awards ceremony in the next two months... but I don't think you need to attend. It's just a nomination; you probably won't win."
Hearing this, Jiang Youzhen felt a little awkward. What did he mean by saying that he could be nominated but not win the award?
The car quickly pulled into the parking lot, and the two entered the mall side by side. Jiang Youzhen bought the items on the list one by one. When he wanted to buy a cup of coffee to soothe his throat, he received a short essay on his phone.
The message came from China; in addition to her long post, Kim Tae-yeon also sent him a photo.
Unfortunately, this photo is not of her; it's a picture of the group's name taken in the practice room.
Girls' Generation
Hmm... it's still pink.
The girl poured all her resentment about the name into a short essay. She had a lot of complaints to say. She hadn't even started her holiday yet, and the invisible pressure she felt while staying at the company made her even more uncomfortable.
If you calculate the time difference, it's already quite late in China, but judging from the situation, she doesn't seem to be going to sleep.
...
At 12:30 a.m., Kim Tae-yeon was lying on her bed, staring at her phone screen. Suddenly, she put down her phone and looked at the bed opposite hers, perhaps thinking of something.
The room was quiet. She blinked and then turned around to change direction.
But the sudden sound from behind startled her.
"ah"
"Why aren't you asleep yet? Make room, I'll lie down too."
Tiffany straightened her pajamas, whispered a reminder to her best friend, and then pulled back the covers and lay down.
Moonlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, and as soon as Kim Tae-yeon turned her head, she saw a pink figure lying next to her.
After realizing what was happening, she had no choice but to move over a bit. The dormitory only provided single beds, so it was a bit crowded for two people.
Fortunately, they were both very thin and short, and the blanket was thick enough to cover them both.
After only a moment of surprise, Kim Tae-yeon gave in. While adjusting the blankets, she asked softly, "Tiffany, aren't you going to sleep?"
"Didn't I ask you first?" Tiffany pulled up the blanket, feeling that the bed was still a bit small, so she simply turned to her side and said, "I just noticed that you were still looking at your phone, so I got off to check."
After saying that, Tiffany immediately followed up with, "Looking at your phone at this hour, are you contacting some Hollywood veteran?"
"You guys always talk about Hollywood veterans, but they have names too, you know."
"But aren't you afraid of getting into trouble if you just say my name?"
...
Whether it's called out in private or in public, most people don't know who it refers to. Besides, they haven't debuted yet, so as long as they're not named, naturally no one will know.
Just as Kim Tae-yeon was about to speak, she heard her phone vibrate. Before she could answer Tiffany's question, she immediately took out her phone.
It was another short essay, and it took her a while to finish reading it. Tiffany used the dim light from her phone to see the expression on her best friend's face.
Hmm...this person...looks like they're smiling?
