Episode 332: A premeditated scandal was not planned
Naturally, Jung Hee-yi didn't know about the secret conversation that took place in the bathroom on the third floor of S.M., and after he chatted with Park Yong-so for a while, Yoo Hyun-woo rushed back to take him to the café, and then went back to the audition location to pick up Lee Sung-man and them.
Zheng Xiyi nestled alone on the sofa and read the novel of "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop", he was forced to watch a few episodes of this TV series in his previous life, and he roughly knew the synopsis of the story, but he really hadn't read the novel, so he planned to read it carefully. Korean adaptations are all based on this model, the plot is written by the screenwriter, and it is not necessarily the same as the novel, but the character design must be consistent with the novel, so the original author will review it after the plot is written to confirm that the characters of the TV series are not separated from the character design.
Zheng Xiyi reads books very quickly, "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop" is just a light novel, only about 200,000 words, for Zheng Xiyi is only about two or three hours of reading, and Zheng Xiyi has already finished reading one-third of it when Li Chengman comes.
"Anihasse, Zheng Xiyi's senior, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”
As soon as Zheng Xiyi looked up, he saw Li Yunxi jumping out from behind Li Chengman with a smile and saluting him, and hurriedly put down the book and stood up and said, "HI, Yunxi, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
looked at Li Chengman again and said, "Why did my brother bring Yun Xi, if I was photographed, I can't say that I and Yun Xi are dating in private?"
Li Yunxi looked indifferent, smiled and sat on the other sofa, Li Chengman looked at both sides, leaned over and whispered, "It's just going to be photographed." ”
Zheng Xiyi suddenly understood Li Chengman's abacus, glared at him, but his expression became warmer, walked to Li Yunxi's sofa and squatted down and asked, "What do you want to drink, I'll help you call." ”
Although Li Yunxi had been prepared, after turning his head sideways and glancing at Zheng Xiyi, his heart suddenly jumped, a trace of crimson flew up his cheeks, and he quickly lowered his eyelids to avoid looking at Zheng Xiyi, and said softly: "Thank you, senior, I just need a cup of American." ”
Zheng Xiyi also smiled and said, "It's okay, it's needed for work." ”
Zheng Xiyi smiled bitterly in his heart while walking towards the counter, he used to find him for scandals, but now he actually helped make scandals, is this evolution or degradation?
Zheng Xiyi understood from the time Li Chengman said that he brought Li Yunxi to create a scandal, obviously to add an off-the-board trick to Li Yunxi's audition today.
Whether it is a meal shoot or a reporter's shooting, as long as the photos of Zheng Xiyi and Lee Yunxi meeting in a coffee shop are leaked on the Internet or in the media, the public's attention to Li Yunxi will immediately increase several times, which is a fixed method of hype by actors during the publicity period. Although Lee Yun-hee is not in the publicity period now, if the attention rises significantly, under the same conditions, the director will naturally choose the more topical Lee Yun-hee, which saves the cost of film promotion and attracts the attention of the people, and no director will refuse such a win-win-win thing.
It's just that in this way, Lee Yun-hee got the role, the movie was promoted, and Lee Sung-man got the commission, but Zheng Xiyi, who contributed the most, did not benefit anything, and there was a scandal......
Standing bored at the counter waiting for the waiter to make coffee, Zheng Xiyi thought about it, turned around and waved his hand in the direction of Li Yunxi, and complained about Li Chengman in his heart while posing for a picture. This is the first scandal after he returned to South Korea, how can Li Chengman be worthy of such a big sacrifice if he wants to invite him to a few big meals.
"Zheng Xiyi XI, the Americano you wanted. ”
The waitress at the counter blushed and handed the coffee to Zheng Xiyi with both hands, and Zheng Xiyi hurriedly smiled and took it.
The girl gritted her teeth and whispered, "Zheng Xiyi, I seem to have seen someone taking pictures outside the window just now, please be more careful." ”
Zheng Xiyi glanced at the girl, although the girl was shy and embarrassed, she still resisted the pressure and said to Zheng Xiyi: "I'm your fan, but I know you don't like to be disturbed during non-working periods, so ......"
Zheng Xiyi hurriedly put the coffee on the counter, nodded at the girl and said, "Kang Sanmida, but I'm very idle now, I can help you sign if you need it." ”
The girl was overjoyed, raised her head violently and looked at Zheng Xiyi with bright eyes, and Zheng Xiyi gave her an encouraging look with a smile.
Unexpectedly, the girl looked back, lowered her head and said, "Kangsang Mida, Crisp Song Mida, I can't ask customers for autographs during working hours now." ”
South Korea is a small place, and almost all celebrities are concentrated in Seoul, so there are many opportunities to meet celebrities, especially in places such as coffee shops and restaurants.
When Zheng Xiyi heard this, he took back the cash in his hand, took out his credit card from his wallet and said, "Ah, Miane, I don't have enough cash, and I didn't take my mobile phone on the table, so let's just settle the bill with a credit card." ”
The girl didn't understand what Zheng Xiyi meant, and thought that Zheng Xiyi had also given up signing for her, so she had to endure the heartache and take Zheng Xiyi's credit card with both hands to settle the bill.
After settling the bill, Zheng Xiyi picked up the pen on the counter and randomly crossed the bill twice and said, "Hey, it seems that this can't be written, do you have a notebook or something, I'll try it on it first." ”
Saying that, she winked at the girl, and the girl suddenly understood, nodded happily, turned around and rushed into the workshop, rushed back two seconds later, and handed a notebook to Zheng Xiyi, "Please interview here, Zheng Xiyi XI." ”
Zheng Xiyi looked at the name tag on the girl's chest, then wrote her name and blessings in the notebook, signed her name, and finally signed her name on the bill.
"This is your notebook, Xiuzhen XI, please take it. ”
The waitress took her autograph book, she was so excited that she didn't dare to make a sound, so she had to bite her lower lip and salute Zheng Xiyi with tears, Zheng Xiyi smiled and waved her hand to pick up the coffee and walked back to her seat.
Handing the coffee to Li Yunxi, Zheng Xiyi sat back in his place, Li Chengman's eyes widened and asked, "What about mine?"
Zheng Xiyi didn't even look at him, picked up the novel and said while reading: "Yunxi, shouldn't there be just the two of us here?
Li Yunxi could only cover his mouth and snicker, Li Chengman glared at Zheng Xiyi speechlessly, knowing that he was taking revenge on himself, but now it is Li Chengman who has a request for Zheng Xiyi, this dumb person can only swallow it, and he got up and went to the counter to order coffee.
"Senior, are you choosing a script?" Li Yunxi saw Li Chengman walking away, and his mood relaxed a little, and seeing that Zheng Xiyi seemed to be in a good mood, he asked tentatively.
Jung Hee-yi turned his gaze from the novel to Lee Yeon-hee, nodded and said, "Inside, today President Kim Young-min NIM gave me two scripts, and there is a TV series based on this novel, I plan to read the original book first." ”
Li Yunxi tilted his head and looked at the cover of the novel in Zheng Xiyi's hand, "Oh, it's "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop", this novel is very famous, I have also read it, it is very good-looking, the predecessor must be playing Cui Hanjie, eh?"
Li Yunxi's words were suddenly interrupted, and his face was a little cloudy and looked at Zheng Xiyi.
Zheng Xiyi smiled and said, "Do you want to say that this role has been set to be played by Kong Liu XI?"
Li Yunxi smiled reluctantly, she didn't dare to intervene in this matter, grabbing the role is a taboo in the industry, the news of Kong Liu starring in Cui Hanjie has even been published in the media for a long time, and it is not a trivial matter for Zheng Xiyi to really snatch this role.
Zheng Xiyi said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not that I want to rob, it's MBC that wants me to act." As for how to deal with it with Kong Liu XI, that's MBC's business, and it has nothing to do with me, and I haven't finished reading the script yet, so I won't necessarily accept it. ”
Only then did Lee Yun-hee understand, and suddenly changed from worry to pride.
The pillar of her own company is the top actor in South Korea, she naturally knows, but MBC will take back the set role and replace it, this is not just a trivial matter to offend an actor, but to challenge the unwritten rules of the industry, MBC can do this step in order to let Zheng Xiyi star, Lee Yunxi clearly felt for the first time how powerful Zheng Xiyi is in South Korea.
"Nei, Nei, senior, don't worry, I won't say anything about this. Li Yunxi nodded at Zheng Xiyi with a flushed face.
Zheng Xiyi looked at Li Yunxi, and suddenly frowned and said: "Yunxi, I remember two years ago, you called me OPPA, why did you call me senior when we met again? ”
Li Yunxi paused for a moment, and said softly while his heart was warm: "Inside, Xiyi OPPA." ”
Zheng Xiyi nodded and said, "That's right, we are brothers and sisters in the same school, don't be so polite." ”
Li Yunxi shook his head and said, "It's okay to call you Xiyi OPPA, but I don't dare to recognize my senior brother and sister." Although I don't recognize you as a student, I have always felt that I am my teacher, NIM. ”
Zheng Xiyi was stunned, remembering that he had indeed taught Lee Yunxi for two months when he was in an acting class at S.M, so he had to nod and say, "What you said is so reasonable, I am speechless." ”
Li Yunxi covered his mouth and laughed and said, "Xiyi OPPA, you make people laugh again!"
Zheng Xiyi smiled and pointed to the coffee in front of her and said, "Okay, I won't tease you, you drink coffee first, I'll continue to watch, and promised President Kim Young-min that President NIM will give him an answer as soon as possible which script to choose." ”
Li Yunxi nodded, holding the coffee in both hands and asked casually: "Xiyi OPPA, what is the other script?"
Zheng Xiyi also casually pointed to the script on the table and said: "It's there, if you want to be fine, just take a look, don't say it." ”
Li Yunxi said crisply, and Zheng Xiyi stopped talking and continued to immerse himself in the world of the novel.
Li Chengman came back and saw the two of them each holding a book and looking at it, shrugged their shoulders boringly, and simply reached out and took the script of "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop" and flipped it over.
After watching it for about fifteen minutes, Li Chengman felt that his hand had been touched, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was Li Yunxi, but now her face was pale, and her lips were a little trembling, and she whispered to Li Chengman: "Chengman OPPA, will Xiyi OPPA take this script?" I just finished filming "Love Unknown" is completely a comedy compared to this, I don't dare to watch it anymore after watching it for a while!"
