Episode 96: Is this the treasure of SBS?
In the waiting room, Kim Sung-hyun let Lin Xiyin and Zheng Xiyi sit on the sofa, and went to get two bottles of drinks and put them in front of the two of them, and then went inside to inform him, and after a while he came out of the room, and said with a somewhat unnatural smile on his face: "I still have to trouble Xiyin XI and Xiyi XI to wait for a while, the last audition dragged on for a while, and it will be over in a while, sorry, sorry." ”
"It's okay, Director Kim, it's actually that we came early, not the crew's problem. "Lin Xiyin and Zheng Xiyi didn't care, it was impossible for the director and writer to wait for themselves to start the interview.
Jin Chengxian wanted to say something, but he had a headache when he thought of the people who were still auditioning in the room, and it had been arranged a long time ago, and he deliberately separated Zheng Xiyi's audition time by an hour, but he didn't expect it to drag on for more than half an hour, Zheng Xiyi came twenty minutes early, and now he doesn't know what will happen when the one inside comes out.
Sure enough, within five minutes, the door of the inner room opened, and a young man retreated to the door and saluted inside, "Trouble the director NIM and the writer IM, then I'll go back and wait for the notice, thank you for your hard work, goodbye." ”
Jin Chengxian stood up, a little overwhelmed, Lin Xiyin and Zheng Xiyi also stood up, watching the young man turn around, followed by a middle-aged man in his forties, who should be his agent. The four of them glanced at each other, the young man and the middle-aged man couldn't help frowning, and they were secretly taken aback in their hearts, and the middle-aged man reacted and gently stabbed the young man behind him.
"Anihasse, Zheng Xiyi's senior, I'm Quan Xiangyou, please take care of me when we meet for the first time. The young man preemptively saluted.
Zheng Xiyi knows Kwon Sang-woo, because "Millennial Love" is the successor to "Deep in the Sun" starring Kwon Sang-woo, and the ratings have also broken 30%, so I have learned some basic information, "Anihasse, Kwon Sang-woo XI, I'm Zheng Hee-yi, please take care of me when we meet for the first time." ”
Zheng Xiyi straightened up and was just about to say something, but Kim Sung-hyun hurriedly stretched out his hand, "Xiyi XI, please come in, the director NIM and the writer NIM are waiting for you." ”
The four of them all glanced at Kim Sung-hyun deeply, and Zheng Xiyi couldn't let the director and writers wait, so he had to salute again and say goodbye to Kwon Sang-woo, Kwon Sang-woo stepped aside in a proper manner and waited for Jung Hee-yi and Lin Xiyin to enter the room, and then said goodbye to Kim Sung-hyun and left.
It wasn't until the parking lot got into the nanny car that Kwon Sang-woo frowned and said to the agent Li Chenghuan: "The other candidate for the first male is actually Zheng Xiyi's senior?"
Li Chenghuan also frowned, and said in a somewhat heavy tone: "It seems that it should be." I said that the things that I had said a long time ago suddenly changed again, and the attitude of Park and Yuan writers was not as firm as last month. Hey Xiba, what the hell is this, do you want SBS to turn Zheng Xiyi into the treasure of Zhentai?!"
Zheng Xiyi, who was preparing for the audition, naturally didn't pay attention to what Kwon Sang-woo and his agent thought, and he was also invited, so as long as he did his audition seriously. As soon as he entered the door, Zheng Xiyi bowed deeply, "Anihasse, director NIM, writer NIM, I'm Zheng Xiyi, I was disturbed by the first meeting." ”
Director Li Changxiu and the four female writers each nodded in return, and Zheng Xiyi took a few steps forward and stood in the middle of the venue, looking at the directors and writers sitting directly opposite.
Director Li Changxiu is in his forties, with a big head, a little bald, the hairline has almost receded to the top of his head, his eyebrows are short and thick, far apart, with black-framed eyes, slender eyes, squinted into a slit. The four female writers were also about forty years old, and the makeup on their faces was a little heavy, and Zheng Xiyi couldn't stare closely, so he turned his eyes to the people sitting behind the tables on the left and right, and saluted each of them. On Li Changxiu's side should be some of the leaders of the crew, such as makeup artists, costume artists, photographers, drama assistants, etc., while sitting on the other side is Liu Zheyuan, a representative of the SBS Broadcasting Bureau.
Li Changxiu smiled, "Zheng Xiyi XI, how did you read the script?"
"I've read the script and outline a few times, and I've memorized the lines from the first four episodes. ”
Li Changxiu turned his head and glanced at the four writers on the left-hand side, the four female writers also looked at each other, and the one sitting next to Li Changxiu whispered something to Li Changxiu, Li Changxiu nodded, and said to Zheng Xiyi: "How does Zheng Xiyi understand the role of Cha Chengjun, can you tell me?"
"I've done some character analysis, but I'll talk about my shallow views first, and if there's anything wrong, I'll ask director NIM and writer NIM for advice. Zheng Xiyi nodded modestly, "Although Che Chengjun is a rich second generation, he does not have the habits of a gentleman, he is kind, persistent, and single-minded. His love for Han Jingshu has never changed, and no matter how much has happened, he has been struggling to trace Jingshu. Even if Jingshu never remembered him anymore, even if Jingshu decided to forget him, even if he was cut off from financial resources because of Jingshu, he never gave up Jingshu. The most determined and consistent person in the whole drama is Cha Chengjun, although Han Taehua gave his life for Jingshu, but in my opinion, there is no deeper love for Jingshu than Cha Chengjun, because it is not difficult to die for your lover, but it is the most difficult to live alone for your lover. I'm done. ”
Zheng Xiyi saluted again, and there was applause in the room, Li Changxiu nodded while applauding and said: "Zheng Xiyi XI is worthy of being an Oscar actor, and his analysis of the role is even more in-depth than that of me, a director." Especially the last sentence, it is the most difficult to live alone for the sake of your lover, well said. ”
The four female writers put their heads together and discussed in a low voice for a while, or the female writer sitting next to Li Changxiu whispered a few words to Li Changxiu, Li Changxiu nodded, picked up the note on the table, "Zheng Xiyi, can you perform this clip, fifteen minutes to prepare." ”
Zheng Xiyi nodded, "Okay, director NIM." ”
Zheng Xiyi stepped forward and respectfully took the note, retreated to the middle of the venue, and then looked at the clip on the note twice, tilted his head and thought for thirty seconds, then looked left and right, and estimated the size of the venue. He walked to the right and saluted the SBS representative, pointed to the empty chair next to him and asked, "Is there anyone in this position?"
The representative of the broadcasting bureau smiled and said, "No one, just use it, Zheng Xiyi XI." ”
Zheng Xiyi saluted and thanked him again, moved the chair to a few steps away from Li Changxiu's table, and then walked to the door and turned around, unbuttoned all the buttons of the suit, and then saluted and said, "Director NIM, writer NIM, I can do it." ”
Li Changxiu raised his eyebrows, looked down at the watch in his hand, and after less than three minutes, he raised his head and nodded, "Since you're ready, let's start." ”
Zheng Xiyi's originally straight upper body was slightly hunched forward, the expression on his face became blank, his eyes seemed to be out of focus, he shook his hands casually, and walked a few steps with a little drag. Li Changxiu's eyebrows were raised, because when Zheng Xiyi started to perform, the temperament of the whole person changed from a young and capable boy just now to a slightly decadent young man, and the blank eyes and casual movements showed that this person was wandering.
Halfway through, Zheng Xiyi raised his head and glanced ahead, then straightened up, let out a long sigh with a serious expression, slowly turned his head and glanced left and right, and then his gaze stayed at a certain point, and his eyes became dazed again.
Zheng Xiyi had already walked to the chair, he sat down, his hands hanging casually at his sides, leaning on the backrest, tilting his head to look ahead. Li Changxiu was sitting two meters away from Zheng Xiyi, but he didn't see anything in Zheng Xiyi's eyes, as if Zheng Xiyi was looking at nothingness.
After staying like this for five seconds, Zheng Xiyi sat up straight, reached behind his neck with his hands to untie the necklace, and then propped his elbows on his two legs, lowered his head and looked at his palms, and slowly clenched them. When he raised his face, his eyes became firm, but his clenched right hand trembled slightly, as if he wanted to spread it out at any moment to let himself see the necklace in his hand again. Suddenly, Zheng Xiyi looked into the distance on the left, his eyes became very confused, as if he was following something slowly, from left to right, then blinked, lowered his head and smiled self-deprecatingly. When he slowly raised his head again, pursed his lips slightly and looked ahead with a mockery, expectation, surprise, disbelief and other expressions flashed across his face and eyes, Zheng Xiyi stood up and ran a few steps to the right, looking ahead with his mouth open, but his eyes showed ecstasy.
At this point in the performance, the clip has ended, Zheng Xiyi saluted and retreated to the center of the venue, the people in the room quietly watched him walk back to the middle, Li Changxiu stood up and began to applaud, and the others also stood up and applauded.
Zheng Xiyi smiled shyly and saluted everyone to thank her, Lin Xiyin stood in the corner of the door and looked at it with a smile, and the expressions of these people in the room were all in her eyes. Although the writer Park Hye-kyung was also applauding, the smile on his face was very vain, while Lee Chang-so and the other two writers were full of excitement, their eyes were full of joy, and Lin Xiyin sneered twice in his heart.
"Xiyi XI's performance is so exciting, he really deserves to be an Oscar-winning actor, it's simply amazing. Li Changxiu said excitedly to Zheng Xiyi while applauding.
Zheng Xiyi saluted and thanked him, scratched his head and said, "Director NIM is too award-winning, and I still have a lot to learn." ”
Park Hye-kyung suddenly said: "Can Zheng Xiyi XI perform a crying scene again, it is very painful but you have to laugh, and tears flow out slowly." ”
Li Changxiu and the other two writers both stopped applauding and frowned, and Yuan Youmei opened her mouth, wanting to say something but closed her mouth.
Zheng Xiyi took a deep look at Park Hye-kyung and nodded, "Please give me a minute to prepare." ”
Li Changxiu saw that Zheng Xiyi had agreed, so he didn't say anything, but snorted lightly with a little blue face and sat down. The others looked at each other in embarrassment, and had to sit down again.
Jung Hee-yi just stood there and looked at Park Hye-kyung with a smile, and slowly, his eyes became painful, and his eyes became moist. Zheng Xiyi's smile was getting bigger and bigger, but the muscles on his face twitched from time to time, and when Zheng Xiyi smiled and showed his white teeth, tears began to slide down his cheeks.
Li Changxiu looked at his watch again, and in twenty-four seconds, he stood up again and applauded, "Great! Xiyi XI really shocked me again and again, and it only took less than thirty seconds to complete this performance." What do you think?"
Park Hye-kyung nodded a little panicked, "It's really great, Zheng Xiyi's performance is perfect, I'm very satisfied." ”
Li Changxiu tilted his head and looked at her, "Is that decided?"
Park Hye-kyung gritted his teeth, "Let's discuss it again, after all, the previous actors performed well in the auditions." Otherwise, let Zheng Xiyi XI go back first, and then inform him when we decide. ”
Li Changxiu's face immediately became gloomy, and anyone could see that Park Hye-kyung was already cheating.
Yoo Cheol-won, a representative of SBS Broadcasting, stood up, "Writer Park, is this what you mean, or what do all writers mean?"
Park Hye-kyung stretched out his head and looked at the other three writers on the left, except for Won You-mi who nodded hesitantly, the other two writers looked at her blankly and did not make a sound. Park Hye-kyung looked at the other two writers pleadingly, they pursed their lips and thought about it, and finally nodded.
Park Hye-kyung smiled at the other three writers flatteringly, and then said to Yoo Cheol-won, "We still have to discuss it, I'm very sorry." ”
Liu Zheyuan snorted coldly, and just as he was about to speak, Lin Xiyin walked out, "Then let's go back and wait for the notice first, thank you for your hard work." Thank you, Director NIM, and thank you, Representative Liu. ”
Liu Zheyuan looked at Park Hye-kyung with a blushing face, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said to Lin Xiyin: "Lin Xiyin XI is too polite, I will report this matter to Director Quan, please rest assured that you and Zheng Xiyi XI, we will inform you as soon as there is a decision." ”
Lin Xiyin and Zheng Xiyi saluted everyone again, and then left SBS.
Liu Zheyuan watched Zheng Xiyi and Lin Xiyin walk out of the room, then turned to look at Park Hye-kyung, and said coldly: "Writer Park, let's start discussing the final candidate for the male number one now!"
