Episode 333: It's not easy
Lee Sung-man took the script from Lee Yun-hee's hand, and as soon as he saw the name, he was stunned, wasn't this the movie that Lee Joon-gi rejected? How did it run into the hands of Jung Hee-yi.
"Xiyi, where did the script for "The Chaser" come from?" Li Chengman raised the script in his hand at Zheng Xiyi.
Zheng Xiyi didn't even raise his head, and said while continuing to read the novel: "Director Luo Hongzhen gave it to my sister, and my sister gave the script to President Kim NIM, and President Kim NIM gave it to me, and that's it." ”
Li Chengman frowned, but he couldn't say anything, he was a director NIM, and it was reasonable to give it directly to Jin Yingmin, as a sister, he didn't directly stuff it to Zheng Xiyi, even if it was to save face, Jin Yingmin couldn't say anything, what else could he do.
Zheng Xiyi seemed to sense something, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Li Chengman, laughed when he saw him frowning, put down the novel in his hand, picked up the coffee and took a sip, and said, "My sister is really a little frizzy about this, I apologize to you on her behalf." ”
Li Chengman waved his hand and said, "Ani, Xiyin Director NIM is also thinking about you, but isn't this role a little too dark, will it have an impact on Xiyi's image?"
Zheng Xiyi said with a smile: "So I'm still thinking about it, isn't it that I'm looking at which of the two scripts is better." ”
Li Chengman's heart was a little relaxed, nodded but suddenly shook his head and said, "Eh, no, Xiyi, are you sure you want to pick one of them?"
Zheng Xiyi looked at the script on the table, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said with a mysterious smile: "I want to continue to rest, but some people don't necessarily want me to rest." ”
As Zheng Xiyi's exclusive agent, Li Chengman naturally knew that the company's senior management had some strange voices about Zheng Xiyi, and wanted to ask, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Li Yunxi next to him with his head down and pretending to be an ostrich, and quickly shut up, the coffee shop is not a place to talk about this kind of thing, not to mention that there is a Li Yunxi sitting next to him.
After thinking about it, he changed the topic and said, "Eh, then you have to choose carefully, but "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop" also has a lot of troubles." ”
Zheng Xiyi just wanted to speak, but Li Yunxi stood up with her bag, Zheng Xiyi glanced at her, Li Yunxi bowed to him and Li Chengman with a red face, and hurriedly walked in the direction of the bathroom.
Looking at Li Yunxi's back, Zheng Xiyi said to Li Chengman: "The little girl has good eyesight and is a good seedling." ”
Li Chengman also nodded, knowing in his heart that Li Yunxi walked away to avoid hearing too much of the company's insiders, but said in his mouth: "Then you can also guide and guide when you are free, and you have also given two months of acting lessons." You said that you, your own actors are not well trained, but you go to guide the two little idols in the headquarters, is this an elephant? Even if it is appearance, Yara and Yunxi are no worse than Yuna and Zhu Xuan, why don't you take care of your own family more?"
Zheng Xiyi stroked his forehead speechlessly.
Of course, the appearance is a joke, but Li Chengman is also half serious and half joking to remind Zheng Xiyi.
Half-seriously lies in the fact that Lee Yun-hee and Ko Yara's actor contract is signed under the name of CC, but Jung Hee-yi has never cared about these two at all, except for teaching S.M acting lessons for two months. Zheng Xiyi used to visit artists from other companies, and he had all Sung Youli and Kim Tae-hee, but Gao Yala and Lee Yeon-hee had never enjoyed this kind of treatment once, which is really unreasonable.
Half-jokingly, even if it was the same door two years ago, Zheng Xiyi went to visit their class, and the gap between the two sides was too big, although it could bring them great attention, but it was impossible to say whether they would recruit black or fans. When they first debuted, Gao Yala and Lee Yeon-hee were just small sampans, and big aircraft carriers like Zheng Xiyi leaned over and broke them with a small wave, but two years later, they have grown a lot and become popular, barely qualified.
After a moment of silence, Zheng Xiyi said sincerely: "This matter is indeed my fault, I have always been messing around by myself, and I forgot to bring the company's juniors." That's it, if Yun Hee can win the role this time, Brother Cheng Man, you can arrange for me to visit the class at the right time. ”
Li Cheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, then it's decided, just to prolong the scandal hype for some time." ”
Zheng Xiyi looked at Li Chengman helplessly, he co-authored this idea, I haven't seen Li Chengman for two years.
"By the way, what are Yara and Joongi doing now? I haven't seen them once in so long since I've been back. "Since Zheng Xiyi is already ready to care about the younger generations, he naturally can't favor one over the other, and simply plans to buy one and get two free.
Li Chengman sighed and said, "Jungji and Yara are both filming in Japan during this time, so there's no point in you visiting the class." ”
Zheng Xiyi was speechless again.
It is strange to say that Zheng Xiyi has great popularity in China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and even Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand and Vietnam, but his popularity in Japan is really not worthy of his current name.
He starred in several popular Korean dramas in Japan, most of the ratings are average, the only popular "Stairway to Heaven" in December 2004 when the Japanese promotional activities were launched, but he declined the trip because Stella came to South Korea, and the heroine Choi Ji-woo is very popular in Japan because she starred in "Winter Love Song" with Bae Yongjun, and the focus of the promotion in Japan was originally her, Zheng Xiyi couldn't go, and Fuji TV didn't invite again.
If it weren't for the fact that "Empty House" was released in Japan in March 2006, it would have been a good response, but I am afraid that the vast majority of Japanese people still have the impression of him as the 9-year-old Asian child star who won the Oscar.
Li Yunxi happened to walk back, and when he saw Zheng Xiyi's aggrieved look, he asked Li Chengman curiously: "Chengman OPPA, Xiyi OPPA, what's wrong?"
Li Chengman couldn't help but smile and said: "You Xiyi OPPA originally wanted to go to Japan to visit Ban Zhun Ji and Yala, but suddenly found that he was not as good as Jun Ji in Japan, and he couldn't help much if he went, so that's it." ”
Lee Yun-hee understood, and comforted Zheng Xiyi with a smile: "Xiyi OPPA, you are a world star, you will definitely be able to conquer Japanese fans!"
Zheng Xiyi nodded vigorously, put on an arrogant look and said: "Inside! Yunxi, you really understand the reason! The land of the little Dongying projectile, in the past, I didn't have time to pay attention to them, and I will never give up until I find time to drive the expedition in person one day, and I will not give up until I am fascinated by a few princes." ”
Li Yunxi clapped his hands and laughed, and Zheng Xiyi suddenly asked, "Eh, speaking of which, how many highnesses does Japan have now?"
How could Li Chengman know this, Li Yunxi took out his mobile phone and searched the Internet, then looked at the screen and said: "Aiko, Mako, Jiazi, Chengzi, Noriko, Ayazi, Binzi, Yaozi and Qingzi, a total of nine His Royal Highnesses." ”
Zheng Xiyi stood up and walked to Li Yunxi's sofa and squatted down, looked at her mobile phone one by one, her mouth snorted from time to time, and after reading it, she held her chin with her hand and said with a pensive look: "Eh, His Royal Highness the youngest Aiko has just entered elementary school, and the eldest His Royal Highness Qingzi is 39 years old, and the age span is quite large, so the difficulty is not small." But fortunately, my charm is suitable for all ages, and I should be able to do it!"
Seeing that he was serious, it seemed that he was really going to hook up with a few Japanese royal princesses, and he leaned back and smiled, Zheng Xiyi saw that he had made enough jokes, and it was estimated that the reporters who were taking pictures outside had already taken enough, so he sat back on his sofa.
Li Chengman looked at his watch, it was almost 12 o'clock, and he felt that the time was almost up, so he said to Zheng Xiyi: "You still have to watch it for a while, right? I'll send Yunxi back to the company first, and then come back to pick you up later, how about it?"
Zheng Xiyi looked out the window, nodded, and said to Li Chengman first: "I'm here to read the script today, and I can eat lunch here, brother, if you have something to do, don't worry about me." ”
Li Chengman thought about it and said: "I'll come back after dinner that time, I haven't read these two scripts carefully, and I'll read them in the afternoon." ”
Zheng Xiyi nodded, and said to Li Yunxi: "I have to finish reading these today, so I won't invite you to dinner, and I will invite you next time I have time." ”
Li Yunxi hurriedly stood up and saluted and said, "Xiyi OPPA is too polite, I am already very grateful that you can help me today, you still have something to do, I will leave first." ”
Zheng Xiyi nodded, stood up and watched Li Chengman and Li Yunxi walk out of the coffee shop, and then sat down and continued to read.
Li Chengman had been gone for more than half an hour, Zheng Xiyi's mobile phone rang, Zheng Xiyi picked it up and saw that it was Lin Xiyin.
Before he could speak on the phone, Lin Xiyin shouted: "Ah! You haven't been in Korea for a month this time, why did you have a scandal, how did you get together with Yunxi again! I can tell you, rabbits still don't eat the grass next to the nest!"
Zheng Xiyi was almost choked to death by Lin Xiyin's words, and said helplessly: "Sister, I met with Yunxi in broad daylight, what do you mean to get together? Sister, your thoughts are too dirty!"
Lin Xiyin was stunned for a moment, feeling that he had indeed said a little excessively, so he had to slow down his voice and say: "Even if you meet normally, you should be accompanied by an agent, where is Li Chengman, why do you let the two of you stay together but he is not there?"
Zheng Xiyi asked rhetorically: "Yun Xi has only been away for less than an hour, and you have seen the photo, sister?"
Lin Xiyin clicked the mouse and said: "Less than an hour? Twenty minutes ago, the news was on the hot search list, and now it is third, I estimate that it will be first in no more than two hours!"
Zheng Xiyi praised the speed of the Korean media, sighed and explained the reason why Li Yunxi appeared in the coffee shop, Lin Xiyin thought about it and was furious: "Ah! This Li Chengman, use you to support Li Yunxi, he has a commission when he gets the role, and he co-authors you to work as a day job!"
Zheng Xiyi smiled and said: "Forget it, didn't Brother Chengman say anything in the past two years since I returned to the United States, and I should return the favor." ”
The agent's income comes from the remuneration commission of his artists, and Zheng Xiyi's US brokerage contract is signed in CAA, so Li Chengman can't earn half a penny as Zheng Xiyi's exclusive agent in South Korea. Although as the head of CC's agent office, he can still draw part of the commissions of Lee Joon-gi, Gao Yara and Lee Yun-hee, but it is slightly equal to none, not to mention that in addition to Lee Joon-gi, Gao Yala and Lee Yun-hee's salary is not high, so Li Chengman has actually been eating his old book in the past two years, and Zheng Xiyi has no opinion on helping Lee Yun-hee hype, that is, he is returning Li Chengman's favor.
Lin Xiyin was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Have you really decided to take on "Chaser"?"
Zheng Xiyi thought for a while and said: "I haven't finished reading these two scripts yet, so I haven't completely decided yet, but I am indeed inclined to take "Chaser". ”
Lin Xiyin was silent again for a long time, but finally didn't say anything and hung up the phone.
