Episode 59: My heart is full of tears
It only took ten days to shoot the first two episodes of "ALLIN", and the reason for this speed is that Zheng Xiyi's scenes are not NG, and the other is that many action scenes can be completed without stand-in Zheng Xiyi himself, which saves a lot of time, after all, there are many restrictions on using stuntman actors, and it is much easier to shoot if the actors can do it themselves. On the day of the end of filming, it ended late because of the night scene where Inha rescued Joo Yin and was chased by the gang, so everyone didn't have a dinner, and they agreed to reunite in Seoul when everything was finished, so Zheng Hee-yi caught a red-eye flight back to Seoul because he had to go to school the next day.
The year 2002 is coming to an end, and Zheng Xiyi's exchange period at Kyung Hee University is also coming to an end, although the leaders of the Department of Drama and Film very much hope that Zheng Hee can continue his studies at Kyung Hee University, but Kyung Hee University does not have a graduate degree in acting, and Zheng Hee Yi does not want to transfer to other art degrees, so he still declined the school's kindness.
In mid-December, because the semester was coming to an end, Zheng Xiyi didn't have to take the final exam, so he stayed at home every day to read and practice, Lin Xiyin couldn't stand his enthusiasm to come to eat on time every day, so he decided to find something for him to do.
"I said, sister, are you selling your younger brother?" Zheng Xiyi frowned as he looked at the one-foot-high pile of scripts in front of him.
"It's not worth a lot of money to sell you, if someone really buys me, I don't mind selling! Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and pick a script to film, I will become a housewife if you stay at home every day!" Lin Xiyin said the real reason very calmly.
"At most, you can order takeout and wait for me to eat at your place, so if you are a housewife, the housewives in Korea will expel you. Zheng Xiyi feels that he is already the person who cares about what to eat, of course, he likes to eat, but even instant noodles and boxed lunches don't matter, he understands very well that people who can't cook are not qualified to care about what to eat.
"Ahh Lin Xiyin knew that if Zheng Xiyi continued, then he could nag all day, and simply use his identity to suppress it.
Zheng Xiyi helplessly picked up the top script, looked at the name, I was not impressed, if I had never heard of this drama in my previous life, then obviously I didn't have to think about it. He lazily opened the script, and complained while reading, "What kind of script is this, the hero and the heroine fell in love at first sight, and then the heroine's father was terminally ill, and the heroine went to be a wine girl at night in order to pay for a huge amount of treatment...... Dog blood plus old-fashioned, PASS. ”
Zheng Xiyi's full-fledged complaining even Lin Xiyin couldn't stand it, and when he vomited half of the script, Lin Xiyin reached out from behind the sofa and strangled his neck, "Ah! LET YOU READ THE SCRIPT IS NOT FOR YOU TO TALKSHOW, IF IT DOESN'T WORK, JUST PUT IT ASIDE, THE NOISE WILL BE KILLED BY YOU!"
Zheng Xiyi broke free of her arm and threw away the script in her hand, "I don't read the script, you say I'm at home, I read the script, you say I'm too noisy, how can 40% of these dramas be so easy to find, and there are not a few in a year, okay?
As soon as the Zheng family's ultimate weapon came out, Lin Xiyin could only obediently admit defeat, waved his hand and let Zheng Xiyi continue to read the script while complaining.
"Hey, this script ......" Zheng Xiyi looked at the outline of the script and felt that it was still a bit old-fashioned, but after reading the script of the first two episodes, he felt that it seemed to be a little interesting, he picked it up and shook it at Lin Xiyin, "Where did this "House Tower Kitten" come from?"
Lin Xiyin saw that he finally became interested in a certain drama, so he hurriedly ran over and took the script and turned to the last page, "Oh, this is an MBC drama, but the schedule is a little far away, and the broadcast will be in early June next year." ”
"Then why did I have an outline and script so early, I thought that these dramas were going to be released before March. Zheng Xiyi pointed to the large pile of scripts in front of him.
"Well, those are basically what you said, and they will be broadcast in March at the latest, but this drama is based on a famous web novel, so the script came out early. Lin Xiyin looked at the information recorded on the last page of the script and explained it to Zheng Xiyi.
"Oh, it turned out to be an adaptation of the original book, that's no wonder. Okay, I'll keep watching, this drama is an alternative. Kneel down. Zheng Xiyi waved his hand deadly, but was beaten on the back by Lin Xiyin on the head.
It took more than three hours for Zheng Xiyi to read all the scripts hastily, but he really didn't read them carefully, if he wanted to read them carefully, he wouldn't be able to finish them in three days, so he read the outline first, and if the outline was not attractive to him, he wouldn't even read the script. Of course, in fact, he has a faster way to choose, as long as he doesn't remember the name of this show, he can basically pass it, and this kind of golden finger of rebirth is too cheating. However, Zheng Xiyi also knows that some popular dramas, and the dramas that can be made by the Huaxia Wild Subtitle Group naturally have a mass base, and the reason why he didn't cheat is that he hopes that he can make a decision easily without relying on the memories of his previous life, and he has enough confidence in his current vision.
"Except for the "House Tower Kitten", I think only this "Millennial Love" is a little interesting. Zheng Xiyi handed Lin Xiyin another script.
"It's going to be released in March. Lin Xiyin looked at the information, suddenly raised his head and asked, "Both can have 40%?"
Zheng Xiyi fell on the sofa and yelled helplessly at the ceiling, "Ah!! Lin Xiyin, are you crazy? I'll just pick two interesting scripts! If you can pick two dramas with 40% ratings, then 40% will be worthless!!It's just interesting! Interesting! Do you understand?"
Lin Xiyin unceremoniously picked up the script and smashed it on Zheng Xiyi's stomach, "What does it mean to be interesting?
Zheng Xiyi covered his face weakly with his hands, "Then even throw these two aside, you just don't know, do you know how many dramas have exceeded 40% this year? "Taizu Wang Jian" was broadcast from 2000 to the end of this year, 200 episodes. "Women's World" was also broadcast from last year to the middle of this year, with 150 episodes. The weekend drama "Savage Era" passed 40% at the beginning of this month, and only "Bright Girl's Success" in the middle of the year passed 40% in the moonfire miniseries. I don't know how to act in Korean historical dramas, and I don't plan to take on Japanese dramas, so basically I will only take moonfire and water and wood dramas, which are all mini-dramas, and on average, two or three mini-dramas a year can exceed 40% ratings. If there are more than 40% of the dramas in this pile you give me, you can go downstairs and buy lottery tickets now!"
Lin Xiyin actually talked casually, but she was nagged by Zheng Xiyi, so she had to come over and pull Zheng Xiyi up, "Then tell me, what's interesting about these two plays?"
"The plot of "House Tower Kitten" is a bit old-fashioned, but the script is very well written, I began to think that the screenwriter is very powerful, and you only know that it is because there is an original novel, since it can be picked out and adapted from so many online novels, it means that the original book itself is very well written. As for "Millennial Love", this may be the first time-traveling drama in South Korea, the story of an ancient princess who travels through 1400 years of time and space to the modern day, and it sounds very attractive, right? ”
"Time travel drama? Time travel is indeed interesting when you say this, this seems to be a new genre in South Korea, right?" Lin Xiyin was a little unsure.
"Well, it should be. In the past, most of the time-traveling dramas were movies, such as "Back to the Future" and "The Terminator", which were both American movies, and there were no TV dramas of this type in Korea before, so I think this drama may attract a lot of audiences. ”
"Then let's try it out? It will be broadcast at the end of March, and it is estimated that filming will start after the New Year. Lin Xiyin began to rummage through the contact information of the show.
"Uh...... Sister, wait a minute, why are there all the scripts for TV dramas and movies? I don't seem to have seen a movie script. Zheng Xiyi flipped through the scripts in front of him, and they were indeed all TV dramas.
"It seems that the planning team on the company's side has filtered out, and I heard that there are no movies worth making for you, and the only good movie character is not suitable for you. ”
"Oh, what's the name?" Zheng Xiyi straightened up, his curiosity was aroused, and he still preferred to make movies because it was more enjoyable to act.
"It's like it's called "Memories of Murder", telling the story of a serial killer, and the script is based on one of the three strange cases that have not been solved in South Korea. Lin Xiyin vigorously recalled the report given to her by the planning team.
Zheng Xiyi gave up as soon as he heard the name, "Forget it, this kind of film should be good, but it is really inappropriate for me to play this kind of film, let's leave some way for those thirty or forty-year-old old actors to live." ”
Lin Xiyin slapped him the back, "How do you speak? What does this have to be heard by people? Isn't your mouth usually quite reliable? Did you take the wrong medicine today?"
"Oh, it's not at home! It's just a little depressing, so it's just a joke, but a good film can't be acted in because of his young age, ah! It's really depressing!" Zheng Xiyi scratched his head with his annoying hands.
Of course he knew that although he hadn't seen it in his previous life, the name was still thunderous. He doesn't remember who played the actor, but he should have won the actor with this play. Zheng Xiyi suddenly felt that he was growing too slowly, according to the Korean algorithm, he will be 19 years old next year, still underage, and there are still many films he can't catch up, such as "Shiwei Island Fengyun", and "Tai Chi Flag Flying", his age has now become the biggest obstacle to limiting him.
"No matter! No matter! Let's make a TV series for a few years first! Let's talk about it until 2004!" Zheng Xiyi fell back helplessly, his heart full of tears. Age is an irresistible factor, no matter how capable he is, it is useless, but fortunately, he vaguely remembers that Korean dramas will sweep Asia in the real sense from next year, because there is a TV series "Da Jang Jin" that he still can't participate in will be born in 2003.
