"Anihasse, directed by Kim Ki-duk, NIM. ”

"Anihasse, Heeyi is here, how did the script look?" Kim Ki-duk waved his hand casually.

"Ah, the script, I've memorized all the lines. Zheng Hee-yi also nodded casually and replied, Kim Ki-deok was stunned, and everyone in the crew laughed.

This is a middle-aged man in his forties who is not tall, and Zheng Xiyi almost screamed when he saw him for the first time: "Huoyun Evil God!"

Yes, Kim Ki-duk looks a bit like the famous Hong Kong kung fu star and martial arts instructor Mr. Leung Xiaolong played the fire cloud evil god in "Kung Fu", and even the image is similar to the fire cloud evil god when he was locked up in a mental hospital......

Kim Ki-duk is a wonder among Korean directors, you read that right, it's a wonder.

Kim Ki-duk self-financed his debut film "Crocodile Diary" in 1996, but before that, Kim Ki-duk had never studied directing professionally, nor did he have any directing experience! After his debut, he filmed "City of Beasts" in 1997, "Under the Roof" in 1998, "Drifting Room" in 2000, and in the same year he finished filming "Virtual Revenge Incident" in just one day...... Yes, a day......

MOST OF THE FILMS SHOT BY KIM KI-DUK IN HIS EARLY YEARS WERE VERY DARK AND TRAGIC NICHE LITERARY (QING) ART (SE) FILMS, AND BECAUSE OF THIS, NO ONE WAS WILLING TO INVEST IN HIM, SO HIS FILMS WERE BASICALLY SELF-FUNDED, WHICH CAUSED HIS EARLY FILMS TO BE VERY "FRUGAL" IN TERMS OF SCENES, PROPS, COSTUMES, ETC., AND IT WAS NATURAL FOR HIM TO BE RATED AS "AMATEURISH" AND "ROUGH WORKS" BY CRITICS. Except for the 2002 film "Mud Lover", which had a box office of 700,000 people, the other films were dismal, but fortunately, the cost was frighteningly low, so they could still be filmed one by one.

However, such a director who has been received by audiences and investors in South Korea is the director who has won the most awards at foreign film festivals in the history of Korean cinema......

Since his second work, "The City of Beasts", Kim Ki-duk's films have frequently appeared in various film festivals in Europe, and have been selected for competition many times, and in 2002, "Mud Lover" won the Berlin International Film Festival Art Award. In 2003, his film "Spring, Summer, Winter, Autumn and Spring" won 4 awards at the 56th Locarno International Film Festival and 2 awards at the 24th Korean Film Blue Dragon Awards, and represented Korean films in the 2004 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. In February 2004, she won the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin International Film Festival for "Lust for the Sea", which was the first time in Korean history that a director won the Silver Bear Award.

In general, Kim Ki-duk is a young director who is insulated from commercial films, although he does not please the public fans, but he is very popular with various film festival juries.

Zheng Xiyi received the script of "Empty House" in early April, and before that, the script reviewers of S.MC&C were very hesitant about this script, because this is another typical Kim Ki-duk movie: Wen (QING) Yi (SE) film, if it weren't for Kim Ki-duk written on the director's column, it is estimated that S.MC&C would have thrown this script into the trash......

JUNG HEE-YI ONLY TOOK THE SCRIPT AND READ IT FOR HALF AN HOUR BEFORE DECIDING TO STAR IN THIS MOVIE, ALTHOUGH THE SALARY IS ALMOST EQUAL TO NONE (RELATIVE TO JEONG HEE-YI'S AMERICAN VALUE), AND ALTHOUGH IT IS A LITERARY (QING) ART (SE) FILM, JEONG HEE-YI STILL HAS A STRONG INTEREST IN PLAYING THE MALE PROTAGONIST TAE-SEOK IN THIS SCRIPT, BECAUSE THIS ROLE IS VERY CHALLENGING FOR JEONG HEE-YI.

The male protagonist played by Zheng Xiyi in the whole movie has no lines at all, not a single line, and the heroine only has two lines, all of which need to be expressed by the actors' bodies, expressions and eyes. For Zheng Xiyi, these problems for other actors are what he is best at, but Zheng Xiyi has never tried a whole movie without lines and only relies on these to play the role, so this role is also a huge challenge for him.

The heroine's actor Li Chengjuan shrank in the corner with some fear, secretly looking at Zheng Xiyi, who was going to play opposite her.

In February this year, Li Chengjuan released a set of large-scale photo albums with comfort women as a modeling reference, in which she was dressed in disheveled underwear or squatting or standing next to a man in a Japanese military uniform, and at the press conference for the release of the photo album, she also stood in front of a huge photo of her naked back for reporters to take pictures. With the strong national pride of Koreans, you can imagine what kind of situation it will be like after the news is published......

A week after the comfort women ** episode, Li Chengjuan took a large group of media to a village where comfort women survivors lived in Gyeonggi Province, crying and kneeling to plead guilty, but in the end he was not forgiven, on February 23, Li Chengjuan announced that he was temporarily withdrawn from the entertainment industry for treatment because of too much mental pressure, but only in April she came back to star in the heroine of this film.

Zheng Xiyi had actually noticed Li Chengjuan who was huddled in the corner, but he didn't have a good impression of this stupid woman, so he didn't bother to talk to her. Kim Ki-duk's reason for choosing Lee Cheng Juan is very simple, cheap, very cheap, dare to take it off, there is nothing she dare not do in this recent situation, as for acting skills or something...... Li Chengjuan's acting skills are really good.

"Xiyi, I'm going to work hard for you this time. Kim Ki-duk has no director's frame for Jung Hee-yi at all, and has been calling Jung Hee-yi very casually since they met each other for the first time.

"Director NIM, I should have said that I have worked hard for you, and I am very sorry for the reason that the time is so tight. Zheng Xiyi is still polite and polite, but it makes everyone feel very sincere, rather than hypocritical.

"No, no, you, everything is good, it's just too etiquette, if you didn't know that you grew up in the United States, you really thought you were the grandson of a family from which family. Kim Ki-duk smiled and patted Jung Hee-yi's shoulder, Jung Hee-yi touched his nose shyly, and smirked twice.

"Come on, since time is tight, let's get started!" Kim Ki-duk stood in the crowd and clapped his hands, and everyone scattered and got ready to start shooting......

"Ahh

Lin Xiyin turned his head to look at him while driving, "It's only 15 minutes, and I'll be home in 5 minutes." ”

Zheng Xiyi rubbed the back of his hand on his jeans, and Lin Xiyin slapped him on the arm, "Ah! Where to wipe it, it's not you who wash the clothes!"

Zheng Xiyi was completely woken up by this slap, turned his arm over and looked at it, and complained in a low voice while rubbing it, "It's not you, it's obviously washed in the washing machine." ”

"Then you can't ignore hygiene, what are tissues for? Wipe your nose with your hand and rub your snot on your pants, are you three years old?"

"Haven't I woken up yet, besides...... Ahh

"You deserve it! You only started filming in June, and you started tossing it yourself in April, it's strange that you don't catch a cold when filming summer scenes in this weather! Director Kim Ki-duk is really, he actually promised you, is he really Kim Ki-duk?" Lin Xiyin threw a pack of tissues into Zheng Xiyi's arms.

Zheng Xiyi puffed out his cheeks and didn't raise the bar again, holding a tissue and began to blow his nose, because this cold was completely caused by him.

"Empty House" is a literary film, with countless revealing shots, although basically the upper body and bare back. Kim Ki-duk was preparing to start filming in June, firstly, there was still a small gap in the filming funds, and secondly, the weather happened to be hot, and it didn't matter if the actors wore less. Zheng Xiyi was also preparing to join the group in June at the beginning, but the plan could not catch up with the changes, and on April 10, KBS sent a script and invited Zheng Xiyi to star by name.

"Specify me?" Zheng Xiyi complained angrily while reaching out to pick up the script handed over by Lin Xiyin, "Is there any other actor in S.M?"

"I'll go!" Zheng Xiyi looked down at the cover of the script, and with a shake of his hands, he almost lost the script.

Lin Xiyin raised his foot and gave it to him, "What kind of illness are you committing, you haven't taken medicine or what's wrong?"

Zheng Xiyi hurriedly retrieved the script and determined the title on the cover again, unable to tell what it was like.

After thinking for a moment, Zheng Xiyi raised his head and asked Lin Xiyin, "Ahem...... That one...... Sister, can I not take it? I can recommend KBS someone who is more suitable to play the leading role than me. ”

Lin Xiyin glanced at Zheng Xiyi strangely, "You really haven't taken medicine, right? Who do you think you are? Just refuse someone's invitation by name, and recommend others? Are you the president of the Korean Broadcasting Association or the president of the Broadcasting Association?"

Zheng Xiyi also knew that his request was outrageous, so he looked down at the script helplessly, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Hey! This drama is scheduled to be taken over in July? Then I can't act, there is a conflict in the schedule, and "Empty House" was being filmed at that time. ”

Lin Xiyin waved his hand, "Oh, the company has already talked to KBS about this, and KBS said that even if the broadcast is postponed, it will definitely wait for you to act, so don't say that you recommend people, even if you recommend Lee Byung-hun, it's useless." ”

"Poof!" Zheng Xiyi almost didn't vomit blood, co-authoring KBS is really a forced buy and sell, and he actually put on a posture that we won't shoot if you don't act. He frowned and thought about it, KBS made it look like I had shown the greatest sincerity, as South Korea's CC**, it would not be as simple as slapping KBS in the face if Zheng Xiyi didn't give face.

"Uh...... Okay, so what else can I say, I took it. Zheng Xiyi threw the script in front of Lin Xiyin and prepared to flash.

"Come back!" Lin Xiyin frowned and looked at Zheng Xiyi, this kid was very wrong today, and he felt nervous.

"MO?

"You didn't even read the script and took it? What's going on with you today? How weird is it. ”

"Uh......" Zheng Xiyi didn't know how to explain, he was indeed acting too strange.

"It's okay, what can I do. It's just that KBS has talked about this, and if I don't take it, I won't have to think about filming a TV series in South Korea, and what scripts to read. This is to save face, it's completely kidnapping. Zheng Xiyi instantly made a depressed appearance, and secretly congratulated himself that he was a good actor, and it was not easy for another person to break back.

Lin Xiyin stared at his eyes for five seconds and then gave up, Zheng Xiyi really didn't want her to see something, then she definitely couldn't see it. As a sister, the only thing Lin Xiyin can be sure of is that as long as Zheng Xiyi doesn't want to, no one in this world can see through whether he is lying or not.

"Then it also depends on the script, the script has to be badly written, not to mention KBS, not to mention CC**! Hurry up and read it!" Lin Xiyin picked up the script and threw it at Zheng Xiyi's face.

Zheng Xiyi quickly caught the script, looked at the cover again, pursed his lips, and sighed in his heart: "Brother Zhixun, you really can't blame me, I've done my best......"

In the middle of the cover of the script are four big Korean: "Full House of Romance".
