Episode Seventy-Four: Premiere Ratings Gamble
The bed scene was finally filmed, and after the scene was cleared, Zheng Xiyi swore that this was the most NG he had been an actor for more than ten years. No way, I used to be a child star, and it is naturally impossible to have any bed scenes and kiss scenes, although Zheng Xiyi's eighteen-year-old body and sixty-year-old heart, there will definitely be no problems such as embarrassment and shyness when filming kiss scenes, but the psychological pressure of filming bed scenes is far beyond Zheng Xiyi's imagination.
This has nothing to do with acting at all, it is completely instinctive, so no matter how good his acting skills are, it is useless......
Although it was only a shot of less than ten seconds, Zheng Xiyi shot fourteen of them, except for the first one, which was Cheng Youli's laughter, all of which were Zheng Xiyi's problems. Every time he NG, he has to get up with his upper body naked and bow to everyone to apologize, everyone just thinks he is too shy, so no one really blames him, and he cleans up with a smile and then continues to shoot.
When Director Lee Kwun-hee finally shouted, Zheng Xiyi simply lay on the bed with his back to the sky and couldn't get up, the muscles and nerves of his whole body were tense just now, and now he feels like he is going to lose his strength as soon as he relaxes.
"What? Why don't you just give up on yourself and prepare to shoot the scene in the back naked?" Cheng Youli got up from the quilt with a smile, she was so relaxed, her lower body was dressed tightly, and her upper body was also tightly wrapped from the armpits, just exposing her collarbone, so she had already forgotten all about the crying just now.
"Sister Youli, it's okay to be reserved! You're a girl! Fin.K.L's innocence is busy!Can you stop staring at me!" Zheng Xiyi glanced at Cheng Youli.
"Hey Yigu, I usually see that you are thin and not sluggish, but I didn't expect it to be full of muscles, and there are actually abdominal muscles! Let my sister touch it, I really haven't touched it." Cheng Youli smiled and stretched out his evil hand, and the female staff led by Li Shanmei also looked up and down unabashedly a few steps away, and even took out their mobile phones to take pictures!
Zheng Xiyi hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled the quilt over and covered it, "Ahh
Cheng Youli pondered for a long time before he understood what Zheng Xiyi meant, although the words were very interesting and fresh, but the stinky boy actually slandered himself as mentally ill! Cheng Youli rolled his eyes, looked at the aunts who were about to drool a few steps away, secretly stretched out his hands under the quilt, jumped out of bed and pulled the quilt and ran, and said to Li Shanmei while running: "Writer Li NIM, remember to send me a copy of the photo in a while, I want it too." ”
"Ahh
Zheng Xiyi hurriedly jumped out of bed and rushed to the sidelines to grab his clothes, and he didn't care about putting them on one by one, so he wrapped his coat around his body and rushed out of the tent and fled. Running back to the rest area, Zheng Xiyi dared to take off his coat and put on his clothes one by one, although Jeju Island was warmer than other places in South Korea, but it was the end of February, and the temperature was about 10 degrees Celsius.
"The eldest sisters and aunts in their thirties and forties are really terrible...... Writer Li NIM is the most terrifying!" Zheng Xiyi muttered to Jin Kuiyu who was sitting in a chair while dressing, Jin Kuiyu was cleared and didn't know what happened in the tent, but as a newcomer to the fortieth generation, he also vaguely guessed a little, and laughed silently. Zheng Xiyi can complain as if jokingly, he is not qualified to make such jokes with writers, in case a staff member hears it and reaches Li Shanmei's ears, maybe it will be misunderstood.
Cheng Youli walked over with a down jacket and a mobile phone with a smile, and shook the screen at Zheng Xiyi from time to time, Zheng Xiyi was too lazy to look at her prank and succeed, and continued to dress with her head down. Because it is a costume part, it is an ancient costume after putting on underwear, Zheng Xiyi has never worn this kind of clothing, so he was in a hurry and couldn't wear it neatly, it seems that he was wrong, but he couldn't find it.
"It's stupid, help me hold it, raise your hand!" Cheng Youli casually stuffed his mobile phone into Zheng Xiyi's hand and let him hold it, then stretched out his hand and began to help him sort out his clothes. Zheng Xiyi obediently raised his hand and let Cheng Youli be at his mercy, but obviously women have a talent bonus in dressing, and they sorted it out in three or two clicks, and after squeezing Zheng Xiyi's clumsiness, he pinched his waist with his hand, and Cheng Youli was satisfied and lay back on the marching chair.
Zheng Xiyi put his hand down and lowered his head to check his body, and when he saw that there was no problem, he also walked back to his marching chair and sat down. His position is next to Cheng Youli, and there is a small coffee table in the middle, Zheng Xiyi put Cheng Youli's mobile phone on the coffee table, and inadvertently glanced at it, and half ** was actually sent in a group! Zheng Xiyi stretched out his head to take a look, Li Xiaoli, Yuzhu Hyun and Li Zhen, okay, anyway, he had expected this to be the case, no matter what, Zheng Xiyi, who fell on the marching chair, simply gave up the treatment.
Before 10 seconds, Cheng Youli's mobile phone rang with a text message ringtone, Zheng Xiyi closed his eyes and just couldn't hear it, Cheng Youli sat up and held his mobile phone and looked at the text messages, smiling forward and backward, his fingers dancing to reply to the text messages, and from time to time he raised his feet and kicked Zheng Xiyi's marching chair, Zheng Xiyi didn't move and ignored her teasing at all.
"OMO! Even Xiao Lioni has texted back! Xiyi Xiyi, come and see!" Cheng Youli saw that he couldn't tease Zheng Xiyi, so he simply got up and squeezed Zheng Xiyi's legs and sat down, stretched out his mobile phone and pointed the screen at Zheng Xiyi. Zheng Xiyi lifted his eyelids, only to see that Li Xiaoli's text message only had three big exclamation points, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he closed his eyes again.
"Ahh
Zheng Xiyi didn't move, and cut his mouth, "Cut, it's not my half-** credit, if it were anything else, Sister Xiaoli would definitely ignore you." ”
Cheng Youli wanted to return the favor, but he was speechless, Li Xiaoli didn't answer the phone and didn't reply to the text message to the point of madness, everyone didn't know what the point of buying a mobile phone was, and he actually replied to the text message today, obviously not because of Cheng Youli, but because of the photo he sent in the past. Cheng Youli pondered for a long time, but he didn't find a reason to refute it, and the fire in his heart burned from Zheng Xiyi to Li Xiaoli, Ernie, you don't usually don't reply to text messages at all, today you are here to dismantle my stage, ah, ah, look at this kid's pride! In fact, Zheng Xiyi still closes his eyes and recuperates, and it has not changed exactly the same as at the beginning. Li Xiaoli is not in front of him, even if Cheng Youli wants to roll into his arms, he has no one to vent to, so the fire in his heart burned back from Li Xiaoli to Zheng Xiyi, it was you stinky boy who asked Sister Xiaoli to reply to the text message, how long have you known each other, is it me Ernie or you Ernie! The more Cheng Youli thought about it, the more angry he became, Zheng Xiyi's ignoring her closed eyes added fuel to the fire, and with a stretch of his hand, he grabbed the flesh on Zheng Xiyi's inner thigh and turned it around......
It took a week to finish filming the costume drama, and the crew immediately rushed back to Seoul to continue filming the modern part. Zheng Xiyi is smart, well-behaved, modest and kind, and often buys drinks and snacks to entertain guests, which has won the love of everyone in the crew, and even Cheng Youli's status in the crew has risen a lot, and everyone thinks that Zheng Xiyi took over this drama because of Cheng Youli's relationship.
On March 22, the atmosphere in the crew became very tense, although Zheng Xiyi was still calm as water, and his acting skills were as good as ever, but the other leading actors all made mistakes one after another, resulting in NG constantly. Li Guanxi reluctantly pressed everyone to finish filming the daytime scenes, and simply waved his hand before dinner, today's night scenes will not be filmed, and we will watch the premiere together!
The reason why the pressure is so high is not complicated, the production cost of the play itself is not high, and the actors are basically all newcomers except for Zheng Xiyi. Cheng Youli counted this as the second TV series, and the second male Kim Nam-jin is a complete newcomer, this is the first TV series he has participated in, although the second female Jin Sharon debuted in 2001 and has also filmed movies, but it is either a cameo or a small supporting role. The male and female protagonists of "Deep in the Sun", which was broadcast before the takeover, were played by two first-line actors, Kwon Sang-woo and Ming Se-bin, and the highest ratings reached 32.9%, and all of this was like a mountain pressing on everyone's hearts. Although the theme of "Millennium Love" is novel, and Zheng Xiyi is in charge, everyone puts Zheng Xiyi high on the altar, but from the bottom of his heart, he only has a short two-episode supporting role experience in South Korea, and whether "Millennium Love" can successfully continue the achievements of "Deep in the Sun", everyone is still a little empty in their hearts only by relying on Zheng Xiyi's name.
"Xiyi, Xiyi, guess how many premiere ratings there are?" Cheng Youli ran over with a pen and paper and asked Zheng Xiyi.
Zheng Xiyi was eating a lunch with his head down, raised his head to look at Cheng Youli, and then looked at Cheng Youli's untouched dinner on the coffee table, "Sister Youli, why don't you eat dinner and ask me about this?"
"Don't you know?"
"You didn't say anything, what can I know?"
"Bet on the premiere ratings, haven't you been on the "ALLIN" crew?"
"And this event? strange, why didn't they ask me to participate?"
Jin Kuiyu listened to the two of them talking on the side, and thought for a while, "Xiyi only has two episodes in "ALLIN", and he has already left the crew when it premieres, right?"
Zheng Xiyi nodded, and Cheng Youli realized that he was not in the crew for the premiere, so he naturally didn't know that the Korean crew still had the habit of betting on the ratings of the premiere. Cheng Youli explained to Zheng Xiyi the rules of betting on the ratings of the premiere, and Zheng Xiyi realized that it was originally to win a lottery, and the amount was not much, basically 10,000 won per person, and the director and writer would be more interested in it, but it would be doubled at most, and whoever guessed the ratings was closest to the actual ratings, even if whoever won won, the money won was also used to buy drinks and snacks for everyone.
Zheng Xiyi took the paper in Cheng Youli's hand, the names and numbers of many people had been recorded on it, and the director Li Guanxi guessed 20%, as a director, he naturally had to guess higher to boost morale. Kim Ki-ho and Lee Sun-mi are very different, Kim Ki-ho only guessed 16%, maybe because of the script he wrote, so be modest, but in fact, 16% is a very good premiere rating, and generally the premiere drama with this result is not unexpected, with the development of the plot, it is likely to have a maximum rating of more than 30%. Li Shanmei guessed 28% ridiculously, Zheng Xiyi smiled, Writer Li substituted the ratings of the first two episodes of "ALLIN", but since it is a play, it is understandable. Other people guessed basically between 15% and 20%, Cheng Youli also guessed 18%, Zheng Xiyi thought about it, reached out and took the pen in Cheng Youli's hand, wrote his name on the coffee table, and then wrote 21%.
"Yo, I can't see it, you are so narcissistic, you dare to write 21%?" Cheng Youli pouted, it is possible to break 40% of the dramas that can be on 20% of the first broadcast, although Cheng Youli also hopes that "Millennium Love" can break 40%, but even if she is just a newcomer, she can see that this drama cannot break 40%, and it is definitely a surprise to break 30%.
"Isn't it just to have a good time? I'm also a famous actor, okay, if even I don't have confidence in 20%, what will other people think?" Zheng Xiyi put down the pen and paper, pulled Cheng Youli to sit down, "Eat first, it's easy to have stomach problems if you don't eat until you eat, and then go to find other people after eating." ”
Cheng Youli was also hungry, so she nodded and sat down, but she had the heart to eat slowly with all the numbers and gambling money in mind, and after three bites of two, she ran out with a pen and paper to find someone else to continue to record and collect gambling money. Zheng Xiyi didn't understand what Cheng Youli meant by being so interested, so he could only sigh at the girl's thoughts, don't guess.
