Episode 176: It's not that our army is incompetent

Zheng Xiyi lowered his head and leaned against the corner of the wall a little wilted, because there were few people he knew in this theater, except for Kim Ki-duk, it was Kwon Sang-woo who he had dealt with, but thinking that he had competed with him for the male lead, Zheng Xiyi felt that it was better not to go up and fill in the blockage for others. was supposed to visit his seniors, but Lee Sung-man was not around, and most of the Korean actors and directors he only knew their names but didn't know who they were, so he couldn't go up and ask first: "Seniors, who are you?"

"Anihasse, sorry to interrupt, are you Zheng Xiyi XI?"

Zheng Xiyi was reviewing his social circle, and was suddenly startled by the voice next to him, and turned his head to see a thin and tall boy standing aside, hey, it's a little familiar, but what's it called?

"Ah, that, Anihasse, I'm Zheng Xiyi, who are you?"

"I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Yuan Bin. ”

Zheng Xiyi was a little surprised, he really didn't know Yuan Bin, but this person starred in "Tai Chi Flag Flying" with Zhang Dongjian at the beginning of this year, and there were all the promotional posters at that time, Zheng Xiyi naturally saw it, so he felt familiar.

"I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you, Yuanbin XI, is there anything wrong?"

Yuan Bin stretched out his hand and pointed to the theater, "Director Jiang Digui NIM heard that you are coming today and wants to get to know you, but I haven't found where you are." I looked like you from here, so I took the liberty to ask, but luckily it was you. ”

Zheng Xiyi looked at both sides, he had actually slipped into a relatively remote aisle of the theater, and the lights were relatively dim, if he didn't deliberately want to find someone, it is estimated that no one would come here, and he understood a little in his heart, maybe Yuan Bin took the initiative to come out to find him when he heard Jiang Digui say that he wanted to know him, and he was really a very caring person.

Zheng Xiyi suddenly had a better impression of Yuan Bin, and bowed slightly, "I'm really sorry, Yuan Bin XI, I think there are too many people in there and it's a little stuffy, so I hid here to breathe, I didn't expect to cause you trouble." ”

Yuan Bin is a very introverted person, taciturn, and there is a reason why he can talk so much to Zheng Xiyi, otherwise he would have nodded and said hello, but seeing that Zheng Xiyi is so polite, his impression of Zheng Xiyi in his heart has also improved a lot, and his tone has been a little gentler, "Zheng Xiyi, please don't be polite, let's go back quickly, Director Jiang Digui is still waiting for you." ”

Zheng Xiyi nodded hurriedly and followed Yuan Bin to the theater, Yuan Bin didn't speak along the way, so he silently took Zheng Xiyi forward, the corners of Zheng Xiyi's mouth moved, he wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, so he had to follow him silently, and the two of them walked silently all the way to the front rows of the theater.

"Director IM BY KANG DI-GYU, I found Jung Hee-yi XI. ”

Yuan Bin said to the side of his body and let out Zheng Xiyi behind him, Zheng Xiyi looked up and saw that a middle-aged man with a dark face, a cleanly shaved beard, and a little messy eyebrows was looking at him with a serious face, and hurriedly saluted, "Anihasse, director of Jiang Digui NIM, I am Zheng Xiyi." I went out to breathe just now, but I didn't expect you to look for me, I'm sorry. ”

"Anihasse, Zheng Xiyi XI, I'm Jiang Digui. It's nothing, don't blame those who don't know, Zheng Xiyi XI doesn't need to apologize, I'm also on a whim, it's not your fault. ”

Jiang Digui nodded in return, and looked at Zheng Xiyi seriously as he spoke. The boy in front of him is quite tall, standing with Yuan Bin is even taller, an all-black dress sets off people very slender, clean and neat, his face is not very handsome, but his facial features are delicate, the lines are hard, the most prominent thing is the eyes, which are big and bright, and with an indescribable charm, it always makes people feel that his eyes are telling something.

Zheng Xiyi and Jiang Digui suddenly fell silent, Jiang Digui was really on a whim, I heard that Zheng Xiyi wanted to meet this genius actor when he was here today, Zheng Xiyi didn't know what Jiang Digui was looking for him, and he was not a self-acquaintance, so the two could only look at each other, and secretly evaluated each other according to their first impressions.

The boy sitting next to Jiang Digui saw that it was cold, and hurriedly came up and saluted, "Anihase, Zheng Xiyi, I'm Zhang Dongjian." ”

Zheng Xiyi's eyes turned to see Zhang Dongjian, and suddenly remembered the bloody case caused by the steamed bun a few years later, and almost couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly bowed his head in return. Zhang Dongjian turned around and introduced several others around him, all of whom were actors and main staff members of the crew of "Tai Chi Flag Flying", Zheng Xiyi saluted all the way, and suddenly felt that he had suffered a big loss, how could this be like the groom running to the bride's friend's table alone at the wedding to toast, a person alone went deep into the enemy group, and he could break his waist just by saluting.

After seeing all the people, Jiang Digui straightened out his thoughts and said to Zheng Xiyi with a smile: "I just heard that you are here today, and I suddenly remembered that I had read your news before, saying that I am one of your favorite directors, and I want to meet you." ”

Zheng Xiyi's mind turned, remembering what he had said at the press conference on the opening day of Kyung Hee University, and hurriedly smiled and said: "I didn't expect that in 02, director Jiang Digui and director NIM still remembered, it really surprised me." I've always wanted to visit director NIM but I didn't have a chance, but today I finally got my real face, and I finally got what I wanted. ”

Kang Di-gyu suddenly straightened his face, "I like me so much but I went to star in the film of that guy Kim Ki-duk, Hee-yi, you wouldn't have said it casually at the time, right?" ”

Zheng Xiyi took a look, but after a closer look, he found the smile in Jiang Digui's eyes, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and bow his head to apologize, Jiang Digui laughed, waved his hand and said, "Hahahaha, I'm joking." Director Kim Ki-duk's film is not something anyone can play, he is much more picky than me, I watched "Empty House", Xiyi, you acted really well, and the Venice actor deserves his name. ”

Zheng Xiyi looked at Yuan Bin and saw that he was still expressionless, then looked at Zhang Dongjian, saw him with a smile on his face, and said with a wry smile: "Director Jiang Digui IM, don't praise me so much, it's too scary." ”

Everyone was in the same place, and Zheng Xiyi continued: "If I see you at other times, you say that director Kim Ki-duk is more critical than you, and you praise me for acting well, I must be humble and proud, but I will only panic when I hear this today." ”

Jiang Digui turned his head to look at Zhang Dongjian, and patted his head, "Yes! Xiyi, you are right, my fault, my fault, haha, Dongjian, don't take it to heart, I said the wrong thing." ”

There was naturally no stupid person who could sit next to Jiang Digui, and he immediately understood what Zheng Xiyi meant. Today is the Blue Dragon Award ceremony, Kang Di-gyu and Kim Ki-duk, Jang Dong-jian and Jung Hee-yi are all nominated for their respective awards, Kang Di-gyu said that he is not as picky as Kim Ki-deok, that is modest, but from the perspective of an actor, it doesn't even imply that Jang Dongjian is not as good as Jeong Hee-yi? If Jang Dong-kyu is narrow-minded, this sentence can make Jang Dong-jian jealous of Jeong Hee-yi, then Jeong Hee-yi is really lying down and shot.

Yuan Bin was silent on his face, but secretly praised Zheng Xiyi for his cleverness in his heart, and Zhang Dongjian also silently praised it. Although he is not a narrow-minded person, he can't help but wonder about this, although these people sitting next to him used to be colleagues, but if someone ponders it and spreads it, there will be a thorn between Zhang Dongjian and Zheng Xiyi. There are not too many such things in the entertainment industry, there are many enemies between two stars who have never intersected inexplicably because of a gossip, this line of work does not talk about anything, it is all based on strength, more often face is more important than others, if it is really known to everyone, then no one can take a step back, and if there is no hatred, there must be hatred.

Zhang Dongjian's heart was like lightning, but there was a generous smile on his face, "I have watched Zheng Xiyi's "Empty House" several times, it is really great, if I play it, it is not impossible, but it may not be possible to complete it in just one and a half months." ”

Zhang Dongjian said this very artistically, can he play as well as Zheng Xiyi? Yes, can he complete this role in a month and a half? Not necessarily, it sounds quite modest, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't say that he must not be able to, Zheng Xiyi silently praised Zhang Dongjian, they are all masters.

Eight of the ten people sitting here are actors, and one is a director, so everyone is not embarrassed when it comes to acting, even Yuan Bin will interject a sentence or two from time to time, Zheng Xiyi saw that it was still early, and Jiang Digui was also chatting happily, so he didn't say goodbye and left.

Actors and directors continue to come to visit Jiang Digui, and they are all surprised when they find Zheng Xiyi sitting next to him, even if they are one or two, all of them are like this, Zheng Xiyi feels that something is wrong, think about it carefully, I will go, I will fall for Jiang Digui, and he is not to see me on a whim, but to save Kim Ki-duk's face!

There are three or four hundred stars at this award ceremony, as well as dozens of directors and writers, and you can count them without having to come to visit Kang Digui on one hand. Everyone came over to take a look, hey, why didn't Jung Hee-yi sit next to Kim Ki-deok but sat next to Kang Di-gyu, and it seemed that the conversation was still very speculative, and then look at Kim Ki-duk's side sitting alone......

Zheng Xiyi understood that he wanted to leave, but Jiang Digui kept looking for topics to chat with him, and kept introducing him to the people who came to visit, Zheng Xiyi had to bow with a smile and salute, while looking at Kim Ki-deok from the corner of his eye. finally found an opportunity to turn his head, but saw Kim Ki-duk looking at him with a smile and nodding, Zheng Xiyi felt a little more relaxed. Zheng Xiyi didn't bother to care if other people had any ideas, as long as Kim Ki-duk didn't want to do more, and seeing that the time for the award ceremony to start was approaching, Zheng Xiyi simply didn't leave, and continued to chat generously.

Jiang Digui saw that Zheng Xiyi's whole person suddenly relaxed, smiled slightly, and saw that the time was almost up, so he no longer forced Zheng Xiyi to stay. After chatting for a while, all the lights on the stage suddenly turned on, which meant that it was about to start, Zheng Xiyi stood up and said goodbye, and Jiang Digui let him go.

Jung Hee-il walked back to Kim Ki-deok and sat down, Kim Ki-duk looked at him with a smile and didn't speak, Jung Hee-yi smiled bitterly and apologized: "I'm sorry, Kim Ki-duk directed NIM, it's not that our army is incompetent, it's really that the enemy is too cunning." ”

Kim Ki-duk patted Jung Hee-yi's shoulder and said, "Knowing that we old guys have eaten more than 20 years more than you, it's not for nothing." ”

Zheng Xiyi scratched his head and said: "How dare I underestimate my seniors, but I didn't expect that my predecessors would also play this kind of trick, hurt others and themselves, and accidentally hurt me, an innocent person." ”

Kim Ki-duk smiled: "It's just a joke, don't take it to heart, your character can't be discredited by such a thing, at most it's just some gossip, and besides, you haven't suffered a loss, have you?"

Zheng Xiyi smiled, "That's right, if it weren't for sitting next to director Jiang Digui IM, I really wouldn't know so many people." ”

Kim Ki-duk laughed loudly, "It's good that you can figure this out, some gossip in exchange for so many connections, naturally it is earned." ”

The people in the theater all looked over when they heard the laughter, and when they saw that Jung Hee-yi and Kim Ki-deok were talking happily, the strange look in their eyes faded a lot, and Jiang Digui also inadvertently turned his head to look, but his heart moved, and he couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly.
