Episode Seventy-Five: Good people that agents don't like

Zheng Xiyi rarely watches his own works, not only Zheng Xiyi, but basically most actors are like this. Actors have the most ability to judge their performances, and others may not be able to see whether they are good or not, and the actors themselves absolutely know, if they don't have a score in their hearts after the performance, it can only be said to be an amateur level. In fact, the broadcast on the screen and screen is no longer the most primitive performance, and the finished product after post-editing and processing will cover up many problems, such as some small mistakes can be removed by editing and inserting other shots, and the problem cannot be reflected at all, so it is meaningless for the actors to watch the broadcast of the work, basically they go to the director to watch the playback after shooting a shot, which is the most direct and effective way.

The American crew does not have this habit at all, everyone is bored to shoot dramas, and the time is tight when they are broadcasting and filming, and it is impossible to watch the broadcast collectively without filming on the premiere day, but the customs of the Korean film and television industry are like this, and Zheng Xiyi can only follow the customs.

"Millennial Love" is SBS's weekend special program, with an episode airing at 10 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. It was not yet eight o'clock after dinner, Zheng Xiyi saw that it was still early, muttered twice in his heart that he was wasting time, reached out and took out a stack of letters from his backpack and put them on the coffee table, and took out a letter and envelope from his bag and put it aside, then opened the top letter, and began to write a reply on the letter paper after reading it once.

Jin Kuiyu went out for a walk after eating, smoked a small half pack, and chatted with the crew members who were becoming more and more familiar before slowly walking back to the rest area. As Cheng Youli's personal agent, this is a job he must do well, the artist's own connections are actually of little significance at work, and they are all artists everywhere, except for a few top actors with transcendent identities such as Zheng Xiyi, and top MCs like Li Huicai, can other artists still help your artists recommend jobs? The so-called artist's network is to talk and laugh when they meet, praise each other when they are on camera, and don't do anything behind their backs, what really plays a decisive role is the relationship between the agent.

A powerful agent can help his artists receive notices of various popular programs, role auditions for film and television dramas, new songs from well-known creators, interview photos of big media and advertising endorsements from large companies, etc., which is why the agency will give the agent a cut after the artist has to take the big head first. Although the company is more capable, it is a higher-level force, and there must be more than one artist in a big brokerage company, even if the allocation of resources cannot be even, it is impossible to tilt on one person, and the interests of the agent are closely related to the artists he is responsible for, so from the perspective of dedication alone, the agent is actually more dedicated to his own artist than the brokerage company.

Jin Kuiyu has a good relationship with the crew is a compulsory course for agents, although the staff has no power, it is not too easy to hack an artist. The gaffer can make the artist on the lens ugly by playing the light and color, and the photographer can be ugly by picking a few unsightly angles to shoot a few shots, even if the field worker who is in charge of ordering food can make the artist unable to eat or have diarrhea, this small means is simply not too much. If an artist wants to film, he has no time to deal with the staff, and the agent must get these staff members in order for the artist to film with peace of mind.

Jin Kuiyu, who walked back to the rest area, saw Zheng Xiyi lying on the coffee table and writing something, so he didn't bother, sat back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest. Thirty minutes later, Jin Kuiyu opened his eyes and looked at his watch, at ten o'clock, Jin Kuiyu sat up straight, Zheng Xiyi was putting down the letter he had just read, looked up and saw that he was awake, so he nodded and smiled, and then unfolded the letter and prepared to write a reply.

"What are you doing? When I go out, I see you reading and writing letters, why do I come back in a circle and rest for a while and still read and write letters?" Jin Kuiyu and Zheng Xiyi are already very familiar with each other, and Cheng Youli is very close to Zheng Xiyi, so he talks more casually, and if it were someone else, Jin Kuiyu would not ask.

Zheng Xiyi replied without raising his head, and said: "I'm replying to my fans, because of the broadcast of "ALLIN" and the signing of S.MCC, slowly Korean fans write letters to the company to transfer to me. Recently, I haven't replied to many letters because of the tight filming time, and I don't need to film tonight, so I will take this time to take a look, and how many letters can be replied to. ”

Jin Kuiyu's heart was excited, Zheng Xiyi used to say in an interview with "ELLE" that he spent an hour every day in the United States to personally reply to fan letters, and after getting acquainted with Zheng Xiyi, he believed it was true, but it was the first time he saw it with his own eyes. It's not that Korean artists won't do this, but artists who can receive a large number of fan letters must be very busy, plus security reasons such as ANTI, basically the company arranges special personnel to read and reply to the letter, and it is said that the artist replied in person, but it was actually written by the staff.

Only under very special conditions will fan letters be handed over to the artist to deal with in person, and the so-called special conditions can be used for publicity, such as seriously ill fans, fans with tragic experiences, and the like. There are almost fifty or so stacks of letters on the coffee table, Zheng Xiyi wrote a reply after reading one, he didn't even bring an agent or assistant now, and there was no camera on the side, so naturally it couldn't be publicity.

"Kuiyu OPPA, Xiyi, what are you talking about?" Cheng Youli ran over with a bag in his hand, "Here, I just went out for a walk with Sharon Oni, and by the way, I bought some hot drinks for everyone, this is the two of you." ”

Jin Kuiyu smiled and nodded and took the drink, opened the pull tab and put it in Zheng Xiyi's hand, and then took a can for himself. Cheng Youli saw that Zheng Xiyi was still writing something, so he was about to lean over, but Jin Kuiyu hurriedly stretched out his hand and signaled Cheng Youli not to go over.

"What is Xiyi writing?" Cheng Youli made a bun face to Jin Kuiyu dissatisfied, and asked him gently.

"Xiyi is replying to fans, and you've been reading and replying to letters since you left, almost an hour and a half. ”

"Oh, then why don't you let me see it? I've also written back to fans, what's the big deal?"

Jin Kuiyu smiled bitterly, this explanation is not very easy to say in person, after all, writing a letter is a personal **, even if it is a fan letter and a reply, there will definitely not be anything in it that cannot be seen, but the size is also a **No, what if Zheng Xiyi pays attention to this, after all, he grew up in the United States.

Zheng Xiyi raised his head and smiled, "Brother Kuiyu doesn't have to think too much, Sister Youli can watch it if she wants, it's okay." ”

Cheng Youli jumped to Zheng Xiyi's side happily, sat on the arm of his chair, reached out and picked up a reply letter from Zheng Xiyi, and complained while reading, "That's it, what do I have to do with Xiyi." ”

Zheng Xiyi and Jin Kuiyu looked at each other and smiled, and simply ignored her, and Jin Kuiyu also came over and picked up a reply letter and looked at it.

"Ahh

It turned out to be a letter written by a little girl in the second year of high school to Zheng Xiyi, and after watching the first two episodes of "ALLIN", the little girl became obsessed with Kim In-ha, a teenager who always had an evil spirit in her eyes, and wrote to Zheng Xiyi to urge him to play more roles and make more scenes, and she had bought all the magazines and posters related to Zheng Xiyi that could be bought on the market. The little girl complained that there were too few things related to Zheng Xiyi, in addition to the interview poster of "ELLE", that is, S.MCC sent a set of Zheng Xiyi's image posters, and she saved a month's pocket money but had nothing to buy, and promised that as long as Zheng Xiyi had an official fan site, she would become an official fan, buy all kinds of Zheng Xiyi's peripherals, etc.

Zheng Xiyi's reply is to persuade the little girl not to blindly chase stars, and to like him, you only need to watch it when he has film and television works, and what else is around, and when you graduate from college, you can buy it according to the economic situation.

Zheng Xiyi still continued to write his reply without raising his head, "What is there to manage in the company, if it weren't for the publicity needs of the company's newly established company, and I am the only artist who can't push it off, I wouldn't have taken it." I'm not an idol star, so I don't need to make money from my surroundings. ”

Cheng Youli rolled his eyes, whether it is an IDOL or an actor in the Korean entertainment industry, there are a lot of peripheral products, such as cartoon avatar stickers, socks, cups, mobile phone charms, etc., Zheng Xiyi does not rely on these to make money, but the brokerage company still relies on this to make money, and these peripheral income is a very important profit point for Korean brokerage companies, if you want to change the artists of other brokerage companies, you have to be scolded to death by the brokerage company if you reply to fans like this, and at least this artist will be forbidden to reply to fans in person in the future.

Jin Kuiyu only finished reading the letter at this time, put the letter down and patted Cheng Youli on the shoulder, "I have also read the previous interview with Xiyi, and after knowing each other for a long time, I also feel that Xiyi is telling the truth, but only when I really see it today can I fully believe that Xiyi really doesn't care about the fans' personality cult on him." From an agent's point of view, I don't like such a unique artist, but from the perspective of ordinary people, I think Xiyi is a good person. ”

Zheng Xiyi just finished writing a reply, put down the pen, raised his head and said with a smile: "Haha, Brother Kui Yu actually sent me a good person card." I'm not that great, and I'm proud that my fans adore me, but I just need them to support me when I have my work, and it's enough to watch my movies and TV series, and nothing else makes sense. I won't be more handsome than other artists on the peripherals, and I can't reflect my acting skills, and I can't improve my box office performance if I buy it, so it's better to use the money from buying peripherals to watch my movies a few more times or buy DVDs or other collections, so that directors will always come to me to film. ”

Cheng Youli thought for a while, and pointed at Zheng Xiyi with his hand, "That's right, I'll just say how can you be so good, it turns out that you have such a bad idea! Take the money from the surrounding area to watch a few more movies, and the box office will naturally be high, and someone will ask you to film again, it's so cunning!"

Zheng Xiyi squeezed her eyes at her and smiled, "Haha, Sister Youli just knows, don't say it, this is my unique trick, it won't work if you say it." ”

Jin Kuiyu saw the two of them laughing, raised his hand to look at the time, it was already nine fifty, "Let's go, the time is almost up, go over early and chat with everyone, the surrounding area can not be sold, but the relationship still has to be managed." ”

Zheng Xiyi cleaned up, and the three of them walked to the set with a smile and laughter, where the place was relatively large, so the drama manager found a TV set and put it there, and hung a canvas around it with a simple bracket to block the wind, and moved some simple folding chairs for the director, writers, and actors to sit on, and the staff spread something on the ground to sit on the ground.

In the midst of laughter, the premiere of "Millennial Love" began.
