Zheng Xiyi, who has already rolled to Japan to audition, certainly doesn't know about the conversation between two new and old female Isols in a box with a drunken girl, who is now wearing a hard hat and picking a sledgehammer on the outskirts of Nagasaki on Jiuzhou Island. Yuichi Shimizu, a wood and earth worker who grew up in the suburbs of Nagasaki, is a brick movers, abandoned by his mother since he was a child, grew up with his grandmother, dyed blonde hair, has a white GTR that can make a roaring sound, a typical blue-collar worker at the grassroots level of society, and is also a murderer, this is the background of the role he came to Japan to audition for this time.

It's just that Zheng Xiyi has never been a physical worker in his two lives, has never been in contact with this class, and has no understanding of their life normality and behavior patterns, even if he is talented, he can't simulate a virtual character that he doesn't understand at all. In order to better understand the role, Zheng Xiyi did not start auditions immediately after arriving in Japan, but took the opportunity of the director and writer to go to Nagasaki to retreat and adapt the script.

Zheng Xiyi first squatted on the road outside the construction site for three days, observed the workers commuting to and from work, and even followed the workers off work to the roadside stalls to drink, and after a general understanding of the workers' speech and body movements, he wore a second-hand sports jacket and jeans from the street stalls, with blonde hair, and gathered his star aura, and found the person in charge of the construction site to ask for a week's short-term work.

Although Zheng Xiyi is also a little well-known in Japan, it is impossible to find anyone who can recognize him in the construction site outside Nagasaki, and as soon as you hear his Japanese accent, you can tell that he is a foreigner. The most important thing is that he belongs to the black worker, the time is short and the cost is low, as long as he is not unlucky, he will basically not be caught, it is a cheap and easy-to-use coolie, so the person in charge of the construction site agreed without thinking too much, so the world star, Venice actor, Baeksang actor Zheng Xiyi officially became a glorious brick moving black worker......

The film that Zheng Xiyi wants to audition for is called "The Wicked", the original book was serialized in the "Asahi Shimbun Evening News" in March 2006, and a year later it was released as a single book, and it sold more than 100,000 copies as soon as it was published, and won the Mainichi Publishing Culture Award and the Daibutsu Jiro Award that year. The author of the novel, Shuichi Yoshida, is a famous Japanese writer, winner of the 127th Akutagawa Ryunosuke Award in 2002, and is best at describing the attitude of urban young people, director Lee Sang-il is a Japanese-Korean director, who won the 30th Japan Film Awards in 2006 with "Fuso Flower Girl", and is also a well-known realistic director in Japan, and he directed the movie "Wicked".

These two now live with Zheng Xiyi in the Heke Cai Hotel, sit in the small izakaya of the hotel every morning, adapt the script with a sea view, go back to the room to sleep when they are tired, go to the beach when they have no idea, and look at the bikini beauties by the way, while Zheng Xiyi has to move bricks every day with a stinking smell, and after work, he has to accompany his co-workers to drink and brag in the roadside shop for two or three hours. After a week of black work, Zheng Xiyi was a little tanned, a little stronger, full of rustic, and full of alcohol, if he wanted to go back to South Korea like this, the entertainment reporters squatting at the airport probably couldn't recognize this as Zheng Xiyi, the younger brother of the country, and thought that the workers who went to the Middle East to export labor came back......

"Xiyi, that's great, I'm sure your audition will be successful!" Li Xiang-il gently slapped his face and praised Zheng Xiyi, who had just walked from the door of the hotel to the table, and looked like a local young worker.

Shuichi Yoshida's eyes behind the lenses also flashed with a bright light, and he nodded in agreement: "To be honest, I didn't really believe that Zheng Jun could play this role well, but now I can only say that the director, your eyes in selecting actors are really clever, and Zheng Jun is worthy of being an actor-level actor in the United States and South Korea." ”

Zheng Xiyi hurriedly bowed his head to thank and praise him, but when he bent down, he squeezed out a wine burp, quickly raised his hand and waved it vigorously a few times, dissipating the wine, and then apologized: "I'm sorry, please forgive me for being rude, because today is the last day of work, and I drank a little too much with my co-workers, please let me go back and take a shower and tidy up first." ”

Shuichi Yoshida and Lee Sang-il both smiled and waved their hands to let him go. In their eyes, Zheng Xiyi went to the construction site to work and experience life just for the audition, but they didn't expect Zheng Xiyi to go to roadside stalls and shops with the workers every day after work to drink and chat, and have a more comprehensive understanding of the Japanese blue-collar working class.

Waiting for Zheng Xiyi to go back to the room to wash and tidy up, Shuichi Yoshida turned his head and said to Lee Sang-il, "Since Zheng Jun's experience life is over, should we also prepare to go back to Tokyo?"

Li Xiangil naturally has no opinion, the two of them have already changed the script almost, and if they want to change it, it will only be a trivial matter, but there is no need to continue to retreat in Nagasaki, if it weren't for Zheng Xiyi yesterday, he would have been able to leave. Although Lee Sang-il handed over the work of finding a location to the assistant director, he had to make the final decision, and there were several places that he had to see and choose in person before he could decide, and there was one of the most important scenes to be temporarily built on the location, which also needed to be supervised by him, the director.

In less than half an hour, Zheng Xiyi came out on flip-flops, wearing beach pants and a T-shirt, and a white towel around his neck.

"I'm so sorry to have you wait for me. Before Zheng Xiyi sat down, he still formally apologized to Shuichi Yoshida and Lee Sang-il.

"Heeyi-kun is too polite, please sit down, he really deserves to be the national brother and national model student of the Republic of Korea!" Lee Sang-il stretched out his hand to invite Jung Hee-yi to sit down, and the smile on his face was quite proud.

He is indeed very proud, Zheng Xiyi only took half a month to conquer the original author of Shuichi Yoshida, which greatly boosted his confidence who had always insisted on giving Zheng Xiyi the opportunity to audition, and being able to get the original author before the audition also made him more confident on the producer's side.

When the novel "Wicked" was still serialized, it was favored by Toho Pictures' filmmaker Zuò Renhei Zhiyo, and he bought the film adaptation rights from Yoshida before he saw the ending, which shows the importance of this film. Moreover, not only is the film production company and the production zuò people valued, but the Japanese actor-level actor Satoshi Tsumiki also likes the role of Yuichi Shimizu, and even specially asked the agent to inquire about the film adaptation rights of this novel, and after knowing that Toho Pictures won the adaptation rights, he recommended himself to Toho, hoping to star in this movie.

Toho Pictures felt the enthusiasm of his wife Mu Cong, and even intended to cooperate with his schedule and wait until the end of the year to start filming, but he didn't expect Toho Pictures to find a new candidate for this film, and he was not a Japanese actor, but an American child star who was born at the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, Venice Actor, and Baeksang actor Zheng Xiyi. Although his wife's husband Mu Cong is a local actor, Zheng Xiyi's Oscar halo and Venice halo, coupled with favorable conditions such as not having to wait for half a year to shoot in the winter, Dongbao Pictures was a little difficult for a while, both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages, and his wife Mu Cong has a slight advantage, but the advantage is not obvious.

In the end, it was director Lee Sang-il who proposed a solution: to invite Jung Hee-yi to Japan for an audition. If the audition is clear, it is needless to say, if the audition is not passed, then wait for the schedule of his wife Mu Cong to vacate before filming.

Dongbao Pictures pondered that this is also a way, Zheng Xiyi is the top actor in South Korea, and he is not a second- or third-tier actor in the United States, so we sent an invitation to let people go to Japan to audition for the role, which is somewhat neglectful. If Zheng Xiyi really comes, then the sincerity is really full, and the advantage of his wife Mu Cong will be gone, and if Zheng Xiyi can overcome the differences between the two countries and perfectly play a young Japanese blue-collar worker in the audition, then his wife and husband Mu Cong will inevitably lose and can't say anything.

"Xiyi, I'm almost done with Mr. Yoshida's script, and since you've already experienced life, let's go back to Tokyo tomorrow, I still have a few locations to determine, and Toho's Nihei-kun is probably already in a hurry. Li Xiangri looked at Zheng Xiyi with a smile, the more he looked at it now, the more he felt that Zheng Xiyi was pleasing to the eye, it made me lose face!

Zheng Xiyi tilted his head slightly, glanced at the street outside the hotel, and muttered for two seconds before turning back to Lee Sang-il and said, "Director, can you and Mr. Yoshida go back first tomorrow, I still want to stay in Nagasaki for a while, and then inform me to go back to Tokyo to audition after you have confirmed all the scenes." ”

Li Xiangil was stunned, and Shuichi Yoshida asked, "Isn't Zheng Jun already done experiencing life, why do you want to stay here for a while? Is there anything important to do?"

Zheng Xiyi nodded and said: "Although my Japanese is very fluent now, I know that it is a foreign accent as soon as I hear it, I want to stay in Nagasaki for another week to ten days, try to learn the local accent, Yuichi Shimizu grew up here, if I open my mouth during the audition, it will definitely make everyone play......"

Lee Sang-il and Shuichi Yoshida glanced at each other, Shuichi Yoshida nodded at Lee Sang-il imperceptibly, Zheng Xiyi is really a top actor, and his all-round understanding of the role is also at the top level.

"Okay, then I'm not going back to Tokyo tomorrow, I'm going to go straight to the location, and I'll let Nozomi know you before I get all of this back to Tokyo, and I'll ask Mr. Yoshida for you to make the final touches on the script. Lee Sang-il was also a quick temper, and immediately changed his plan.

Osamu Yoshida thought about it and didn't have any opinions, so he nodded and agreed, and the three of them chatted for a while before going back to their rooms to sleep, preparing to go their separate ways tomorrow.
