Episode 67: High-sounding reasons

Kim Ki-ho and Lee Sun-mi's faces became a little embarrassed, and they just thought that they had won Jung Hee-yi, but who knew that there was a script problem. You must know that in South Korea, although the status of screenwriters is not supreme, it is also absolutely authoritative, even the director has to give a few points, and generally no one dares to tell the screenwriter that there is a problem with your script. But just now, in order to express their sincerity, the posture of the three people was a little low, and at this time, it was too fast to change their faces if they had to put on a straight face and refuse to discuss the script, so these two people didn't know what kind of attitude to come up with.

Zheng Xiyi saw that the faces of the two writers were wrong, and hurriedly apologized again, "Writer Jin NIM, Writer Li NIM, I'm sorry, it's me who didn't express it clearly." It's not that there is anything wrong with the script itself, but there are some questions about the setting of the main character, so I would like to ask the two writers, NIM. ”

Kim Ki-ho and Lee Sun-mi breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly signaled that it didn't matter. As long as it doesn't ask for a change in the script, if the director says that there is a problem with the script, the two of them can still think about it, and if an actor like Zheng Xiyi says that there is a problem with the script, then the two of them are really a little embarrassed. Change it, it doesn't conform to the unspoken rules of the Korean screenwriter circle, and destroys the bottom line that all screenwriters insist on, if you don't change it, Zheng Xiyi's refusal to appear in the show will be a huge loss for this drama. The two of them are confident that the filming of this drama will never be bad, although it is definitely not as good as "ALLIN", but even if there is no Zheng Xiyi starring, it is possible to break 30% of the ratings, the reason why they put their posture so low and even put down their subordinates to find Cheng Youli to help connect is that the two of them hope that this drama can have further possibilities, if "ALLIN" is SBS's 2003 ambition, then "Millennium Love" is the ambition of Kim Ki-ho and Lee Sun-mi.

"Judging from the script outline and the script of the first four episodes, the male number one Renzhe should be much older than me, and when I read the script, I felt that it did not match my own image, and my colleagues in the planning team also felt this way, so I wanted to ask the two writers why NIM chose me to be the male lead, and I personally felt that it should be better for an actor about ten years older than me to play. Zheng Xiyi is indeed very strange about this, from the beginning of reading the script, he felt that this protagonist was not written according to his own image and temperament, how could he be pushed to him to star.

When Kim Ki-ho heard this question, he slapped his thigh hard, and Lee Sun-mi also had a look of sudden realization, turned her head to look at Kim Ki-ho, and also slapped his thigh hard. "Oops, it turned out to be this problem, hahaha, Zheng Xiyi XI, I'm so sorry, I'm very sorry, it's my fault, it's my fault. Kim Ki-ho smiled and pressed Lee Sun-mi's hand, and said to Jung Hee-yi with some embarrassment.

Seeing the question on Zheng Xiyi's face, Li Shanmei pinched Kim Ki-ho fiercely, pulled her hand out of his hand, and brushed the broken hair around her ear, "Zheng Xiyi, I'm really embarrassed, there are actually some twists and turns in this." ”

Zheng Xiyi put on a look of wanting to hear the details, and Li Shanmei continued, "The male number one set at the beginning of this drama is indeed not Zheng Xiyi XI," she smiled embarrassedly, and it was really embarrassing to say that I didn't plan for you to play this drama in front of people, "Originally, the male number one in this drama was written in the image of Su Ji-sub XI, and Su Ji-sub XI also agreed to act." But more than a month ago, Su Ji-sub XI suddenly had a car accident, fortunately, there was no big problem, just a broken leg, but it definitely couldn't catch up with the filming of "Millennial Love......"

"Oh, I see, I see. But even if Su Ji-sub XI can't act, he should be able to find an actor of the same type as him, the difference between my image and Su Ji-sub XI seems to be bigger...... "Zheng Xiyi is not familiar with Su Ji-sub, but he has also done some homework on the Korean entertainment industry, at least he knows what this person looks like, and it is really enough to say that he has a similar image to Zheng Xiyi."

Li Shanmei's face suddenly turned red, looking at Zheng Xiyi, who couldn't open her mouth a little, Zheng Xiyi's heart suddenly burst, what kind of expression is this aunt, it is easy for people to misunderstand!

"This ...... My wife has actually been a senior fan of Zheng Xiyi XI...... She likes to watch movies and TV series performed by Zheng Xiyi. Kim Ki-ho's expression was a little obscure and he opened his mouth to help Lee Sun-mi explain, and Jung Hee-yi didn't know what expression to use to face these two people, this writer Kim's words sounded very sour......

Lee Sun-mi took a deep breath, "I'm a die-hard fan of Xiyi XI, I've watched all the movies and TV series that Xiyi XI has starred in the United States, and I've watched it more than once, and I'm also the vice president of Xiyi XI's largest unofficial fan group in South Korea." ”

Zheng Xiyi hurriedly stood up and bowed deeply to thank him, this is really to thank Li Shanmei, Zheng Xiyi's fans in South Korea After two scandals and exclusive interviews, there are less than 3,000 people left, these are absolutely loyal die-hard fans, Li Shanmei is the vice president of the largest unofficial fan group, and it is definitely the hardcore of the hardcore. Lee Sun-mi also stood up and returned the salute, her face was more red, Kim Ki-ho had a wry smile on her face, and Lee Koon-hee, Lim Hee-yin and Kim Young-min were all stunned.

The two sat down again, and Lee Sun-mi regained her mood by drinking, "After Su Ji-sub XI can't star, we originally planned to find another actor of the same type to star, but one day I was watching Xiyi XI's cameo in "** City", ......"

"Ahh......h I know why writer Li NIM chose me to star in the ......" Speaking of this, Zheng Xiyi suddenly realized, but Li Guanxi and Kim Yingmin looked confused, Lin Xiyin explained with a smile: "When Xiyi returned to the United States during the summer vacation last year, he made a cameo appearance in an episode of "** City" and played an unambitious fashion designer, but it was only a three-minute shot. ”

"Yes, it was the episode where Xiyi XI made a cameo, and at that time I decided to let Xiyi XI star as the male number one Renche. Isn't Xiyi XI's cameo in "** City" also a poor costume designer? It's exactly the same as Renche's situation, as for age, as long as you pay attention to your makeup and be a little more mature. Xiyi XI's acting skills are definitely no problem, and it is not the first time to play a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old person. The more Li Shanmei talked, the more excited she became, and listed the adults Zheng Xiyi had played in several plays.

Zheng Xiyi is very emotional, this is true love, because these examples given by Li Shanmei are basically the roles he made cameo appearances after the age of fifteen, more than three or five minutes of shots, and as few as about a minute, it is absolutely impossible for non-hardcore to have seen them all and said them like a few treasures.

Now that Li Shanmei has talked about this, it is hypocritical to talk about the age gap, of course Zheng Xiyi can't act, it's just that it's strange when he reads the script, after all, a drama that comes to ask him to be the starring role, at least the temperament of this character must be closer to himself. Let's just say that tall, short, fat, thin, beautiful and ugly, if necessary, you can do it by makeup or the actor himself to lose weight, but the age difference is too big is the most difficult to act, because the temperament of each age is completely different, this is not just a matter of makeup to be older and younger, you must rely on acting skills to fit the temperament of the character's age.

Why in "ALLIN", Jung Hee-yi and Han Ji-min came to play In-ha and Eun-joo in their teenage years, it is not that Lee Byung-hun and Song Hye-ji can't put on makeup and go back to when they were 17 years old, but that their temperament can't go back to the 17-year-old boys and girls. Moreover, it is easier to play the old than the small, because after all, I have also experienced the time when I was young, and it is naturally easier to have personal experience, but the old man has not experienced it at all, and can only be imitated by ordinary and meticulous observation and accumulation, so it is difficult for anyone to be competent except for the pervert of Zheng Xiyi. The reason why Lee Sun-mi was able to persuade Lee Guan-hee and SBS Broadcasting Bureau to let Zheng Xiyi play the male lead was precisely because they showed them the clips of Zheng Xiyi playing adults before, otherwise even if SBS owes Zheng Xiyi a big favor, they don't dare to joke about the future of a drama.

After this biggest problem was solved, the other problems were all minor problems, and after meeting Li Shanmei's request for a signed photo and hug, the three of them said goodbye. After sending the three of them back to the office, Kim Yingmin thought about it and raised his doubts to Zheng Xiyi, "Why did Xiyi XI take this drama? To be honest, I don't think this drama matches Xiyi's identity." ”

"I know everyone actually has this doubt," Zheng Hee-yi looked at Kim Young-min calmly, "According to normal logic, I should only take on a big production like 'ALLIN'." ”

Kim Young-min looked at Zheng Xiyi silently, he was waiting for Zheng Xiyi to say but, "But I think everyone thinks too well about my situation, Oscar's aura blinds most people's eyes, and my real situation is actually very embarrassing, and I am in a difficult situation where there is no drama to take." ”

Jin Yingmin was a little surprised, he didn't expect the reason given by Zheng Xiyi to be so powerful, it sounded a little alarmist, Zheng Xiyi knew that he didn't believe it, so he continued to give him some hints, "My age now is the biggest problem." How many of today's movies and TV series have male protagonists who are seventeen or eighteen years old? It is possible to be eleven or twelve years younger, and there are twenty-four or five years old, but even if they are seventeen or eighteen years old, there may not be one of them. Even if there is an occasional school drama that is just right, will the campus drama be a big production? Will there be a luxurious cast? With the signature of S.MCC, even if I add it, it is unlikely that I will find a famous screenwriter to write a large-scale youth campus script according to my age and image. ”

After all, Jin Yingmin is an elite in the shopping mall, and naturally at this time, he has completely understood what Zheng Xiyi means. Zheng Xiyi's current age is the time when he is not in the prime of life, except for youth campus dramas, there is basically nothing that can make him act in his true colors, but his identity and status are there, who dares to come to Zheng Xiyi to play in a small-scale youth campus drama, a large-scale youth campus drama...... Ahem, don't say there is no such thing in Korea, and I haven't seen a few in the world. Zheng Xiyi can't just wait for two or three years to take over the drama when he becomes an adult, even if he is willing, the company can't be willing, why is S.M willing to establish a joint venture with Zheng Xiyi and let Zheng Xiyi take the lion's lead, isn't it because he wants to borrow Zheng Xiyi's golden sign to enter the film and television drama circle, Zheng Xiyi wants to stop filming for two or three years, S.M must not be crazy, and co-authored paid a signing fee of 300 million yuan and invited a young master to come to the company to raise it. Zheng Xiyi took over "Millennium Love" to prove to everyone that he can play roles of all ages regardless of the age gap, everyone doesn't have to worry that Zheng Xiyi can't play roles over 20 years old when he is young, ask him to shoot any scene, absolutely no problem!

Jin Yingmin couldn't help but mark Zheng Xiyi with a little red flower in his heart again, this boy who is not yet 19 years old is worthy of being a genius boy, and he doesn't know how deep his calculations are.

Zheng Xiyi impressed Kim Yingmin by several things, the first was to bypass Xu Daxin and go to the United States to negotiate with Li Xiuman, so that the scheming Li Xiuman would support him to establish a joint venture with S.M, and then the last scandal incident, an incident briefing made "Seoul Sports" disgraced and could only apologize publicly, and finally the "ALLIN" role change incident, which shocked the major film and television agencies and got SBS's favor. This time, "Millennial Love" was actually very reluctant in his heart, but after listening to Zheng Xiyi's explanation, he could only feel that the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves.

When he came home from S.M, Lin Xiyin said coldly when he got out of the car, "The reason is high-sounding, in fact, you are just to help Cheng Youli once, I'm not wrong, right?"

Zheng Xiyi watched Lin Xiyin drive away in a cold sweat......
