Barbecue, see barbecue again.

Because it's a script reading meeting, the main actors are there, and the supporting roles and staff who don't have any lines are here, so it's not too many, and there are only more than 30 people plus the actors' agents and assistants. So the agents were all at a separate table in another box, and as for Lin Xiyin, he couldn't bear to sit for a long time and found an excuse to run away at noon. The crew simply didn't divide the leading actors, the supporting actors, the staff, the men's table, the women's table, and sat in a big box to finish the work.

Zheng Xiyi refused to sit next to Liu Zhelong and Choi Wangui, but retreated to Chi Cheng and sat down, from the position of the role, he sat this correctly, and the others also nodded secretly and praised Zheng Xiyi for being low-key and humble. Chi Cheng happily pulled Zheng Xiyi to chat, although he debuted in 1999 and won the MBC Acting Award Newcomer Award in 2001 for "Delicious Relationship", but he has never become popular. This time he joined the crew of "ALLIN" to play the second male lead, such a big production and such a gorgeous cast, it was naturally a great opportunity for him, and seeing Zheng Xiyi sitting next to him, he definitely couldn't let it go, so he took the initiative to talk to Zheng Xiyi.

Zheng Xiyi was also very happy to chat with Chi Cheng, Chi Cheng said some interesting things about filming in South Korea, Zheng Xiyi said some interesting things about filming in the United States, and after a while, even Lee Byung-hun came over. Zheng Xiyi smiled secretly in his heart when he saw Li Bingxian coming over, he said that the interesting thing in the United States is to hook Li Bingxian over, as last year's Blue Dragon actor, Li Bingxian will make one or two movies in South Korea at most to stabilize his position, and he will try his best to develop in the United States, so he still has to find ways to get on the line with Zheng Xiyi, even if he loses some face, it doesn't matter.

The three of them have their own thoughts, so they naturally chatted more and more speculatively, although Zheng Xiyi didn't drink and only Li Bingxian and Ji Cheng drank, but the atmosphere was also warm, and finally Liu Zhelong and Choi Wangui were pulled by Lin Zhi to the lady's table and sat and chatted with Xian Yu Yinshu, Song Hye Kyo, Park Shuaimei and Han Zhimin exchanged with the three men. As the wine was drunk more and more, Li Bingxian also drank a little too much, stretched out his hand to pull Chi Cheng away and sat next to Zheng Xiyi, put his arm around Zheng Xiyi's shoulders and placed three glasses on his own, and after pouring them all, he dried them one by one, and then buttoned the wine glass, "I'm very happy to know Xiyi today." There was some misunderstanding before.,I was a little worried before I saw Xiyi.,I've been thinking about how to explain.,But after seeing Xiyi, I don't think there's anything to say.,At first glance, Xiyi is not the kind of person who is cautious.。 Even if my brother apologizes to you for these three glasses of wine, Xiyi's business will be my business in the future, and I don't dare to say anything else, everyone will still give my brother some face in this circle in South Korea. ”

Zheng Xiyi also hugged Li Bingxian, poured himself three glasses of juice with his other hand and dried it up, and then turned sideways to face Li Bingxian, looking directly at him, "Brother Bingxian just doesn't treat me as a younger brother when he says these things." Although I am young, I am not an ignorant child. Originally, I didn't plan to tell the truth in front of everyone, I just wanted to wait until I got acquainted with Brother Bingxian before saying it in private. Because people who don't know me will think that I am talking about cheap words, and if I get cheap, I have to sell well, but Brother Bingxian has said this, and I have let it go, and today I told the truth in front of so many seniors and brothers and sisters. ”

All of a sudden, the people in the box fell silent, and the directors, screenwriters, and old-timers at the next table all turned around and listened.

"Director Liu NIM and writer Cui NIM both know that I didn't promise to play the male lead in this drama from the beginning, because when SBS notified me, don't talk about the script, not even the outline, the reply I gave at the time was very clear, I accepted the invitation, but whether to star or not can only be decided after reading the outline of the script, so it is not a problem for Brother Bingxian to take the play. ”

Li Bingxian opened his mouth to speak, but Zheng Xiyi stretched out his hand to stop him, "I know that Brother Bingxian wants to say the unwritten rules in this industry, and you can't accept it if I don't refuse, but since it's an unwritten rule, you can't take it out as a reason, right?"

Everyone nodded silently when they heard it, that's true, since it's an unspoken rule, you can't always take it out as a reason, and in the end, it's actually based on the status and popularity of both sides to decide who is more reasonable, and the former deputy director of SBS actually made this calculation.

"Later, Director Liu NIM and Cui writer NIM personally came to explain to me, it really scared me, although I am also a thin name, but I am only seventeen years old, I really can't afford to be treated like this by your predecessors, so today I am here in front of everyone to solemnly apologize and thank you. Saying that, Zheng Xiyi stood up and walked in front of Liu Zhelong and Cui Wangui, and one bowed deeply, but the two of them couldn't stop them, so they had to hug Zheng Xiyi excitedly and patted him on the shoulder.

Zheng Xiyi didn't return to his seat, and walked up to Lin Hyun-sik and Xian Yu Yin-sook to each bow deeply to the two seniors, "Thank you two seniors for standing up today to help me and Brother Bingxian resolve the misunderstanding, it really made me feel the unity and warmth of the Korean entertainment industry, and gave me a real sense of returning to the motherland for the first time. ”

Lin Xuanzhi happily took Zheng Xiyi's hand and shook it, patted it again, Xian Yu Yinshu touched Zheng Xiyi's head dotingly, and suddenly said with a smile, "I heard it, this means that the acting skills of the two of us are actually nothing worth learning, right, Xiyi?"

"Huh?" Zheng Xiyi was so frightened that he couldn't close his mouth, so he had to say to Xian Yu Yinshu pitifully: "Xian Yu senior, you are a good mother, you can't destroy your image like this......"

There was a burst of laughter in the box, and Xian Yu Yinshu pinched Zheng Xiyi's face, "Little clever ghost, you can really talk, let you go." ”

Zheng Xiyi bowed and retreated in cringe, making everyone laugh again. When everyone quieted down, Zheng Xiyi walked in front of Li Bingxian again, Li Bingxian didn't dare to let Zheng Xiyi bow again, and hurriedly stood up and grabbed Zheng Xiyi's arms with both hands, Zheng Xiyi had to reach out and hug him, and the two patted each other's backs before separating," After Director Liu NIM and Writer Cui NIM left, I carefully read the script and outline, and after reading it, I told President Kim of the company and my sister that even if there is no male number one in this film, I will not play the male number one, but this male number one is more suitable for me in his teenage years. ”

"What?" Everyone froze, even Li Bingxian looked at Zheng Xiyi with puzzled eyes, Zheng Xiyi spread his hands and smiled bitterly, "Look, what am I talking about, if I say it, everyone will be suspicious and think that I have to sell well if I get cheap." ”

Everyone hurriedly shook their heads, Zheng Xiyi waved his hand indifferently, "If someone else says this and says so, I will actually think the same way, human nature, it's not a big deal." Believe it or not, I have to say that this is what I mean. ”

Cui Wangui was anxious, stood up and asked, "Can you tell me how you think about it, why don't you want to play this male lead?"

He should be in a hurry, because he is a screenwriter, for fear that it is a problem with the writing of this script and the male lead that causes Zheng Xiyi not to act, you must know that this play is an investment of 5 billion, and SBS's hopes for a whole year are pinned on this drama, if there is a mistake in the plot or the description of the protagonist that causes the ratings to smash the pot, he will not want to turn over again for the rest of his life.

Zheng Xiyi smiled at him, "Writer Cui NIM don't worry, there is no problem with the script and the male lead, really, after reading the script, I told President Kim NIM and my sister that this drama will definitely be one of the most popular dramas this year." The problem that I can't play this male lead is not the reason for this, the real reason is on me, I am too young, according to the Korean algorithm, I am just eighteen years old and underage. ”

Everyone in the box looked at each other for some reason, Director Liu and Screenwriter Cui frowned thoughtfully, and several seniors also pondered. Cui Wangui was the first to react, and slapped himself with a snap, which scared everyone, is Writer Cui evil?

"Oops! Xiyi XI, if I don't say it, I really forgot, Xiyi XI really can't play this male lead. Choi Wan-gyu looked at Zheng Xiyi apologetically, Zheng Xiyi laughed, and told everyone what he said to Kim Young-min and Lim Hee-yin again, and everyone suddenly realized. Lin Hyun-sik, Xian Yu Yin-sook, Lee Byung-hun and other veteran actors who have developed their feelings all looked at Zheng Xiyi with appreciation, but the newcomer actors still didn't quite understand.

Lin Xuanzhi saw that there were still people who didn't understand, so he said more thoroughly, "As an artist, your own image is far more important than popularity, salary, etc., because both popularity and salary fluctuate with your own image, think about those artists who have been controversial because they have filmed large-scale plots, why they have plummeted in popularity or even retired, is because their own image has been fatally hit." Although this truth is very simple, it is impossible to figure it out without a calm and sober mind and a clear understanding of yourself, Xiyi has such a clear understanding of his own image at such a young age, and he is definitely the only Korean actor. Of course, these truths are worthless, but he has such a high status and popularity, his every move has received attention from all sides, and his own excellent academic performance is his uniqueness. ”

A group of rookie actors and even popular actors like Song Hye Kyo and Park Shuaimei fully understood, and Song Hye Kyo and Park Shuaimei even frowned and began to reflect. Zheng Xiyi humbly bowed and thanked, "Lin Xuanzhi's predecessors praised me too much, it's not that I'm really good, it's just that I have received three different forms of cultural education since I was a child, Korean and Chinese at home, American at school, and later in high school and college in Huaxia, so the way of thinking about problems is different from ordinary people." ”

Xian Yu Yinshu sighed emotionally, "Others only see Xiyi becoming an international star at a young age, but they don't see how hard Xiyi usually works. A few months ago, I don't know if you have read the interview with Xiyi, I haven't read this kind of fashion magazine before, but because of the interview, everyone talked about a lot, so I deliberately looked for it, and I won't comment on anything else, Xiyi has been studying and practicing for about 16 hours a day since he was four years old, even if I read it, I am ashamed of myself, more than ten years of hard study and practice, if I can't get today's achievements, that's a strange thing. That's why I like it when I look at Xiyi today, and I really want the younger generations of my family to take a serious look at Xiyi's interview and study hard. Only then did everyone suddenly realize, no wonder Yu Yinshu liked Zheng Xiyi as much as she saw her own son when she saw her today, and some people were originally a little jealous in their hearts, but now they have all disappeared.

Zheng Xiyi hurriedly bowed and thanked Xian Yu Yinshu for the compliment, Xian Yu Yinshu waved his hand, "If you want to say thank you, it should be me thank you, I don't mean kind words, you are really a good boy." ”

Zheng Xiyi himself was really embarrassed, how could there be a little rhythm of the commendation conference at the end of this dinner, which was praised so much that it was a little unbearable. Li Bingxian patted Zheng Xiyi's shoulder hard, and at first he said that those words were a bit half-true and half-false through wine, but now he really admires Zheng Xiyi. Not to mention anything else, such a frank public statement that he actually won't play the male lead role, and Lee Byung-hun himself will never say it, anyway, whether he says it or not, the favors are there, and it may make people lose their gratitude when they say it, and Li Bingxian feels that this younger brother must be recognized.

At the end of the dinner, it was eaten until more than eleven o'clock, basically everyone who drank was drunk, Zheng Xiyi was sober because he didn't drink, and helped the actors' agents and assistants to carry all the drunks into the nanny car, and then he took a taxi home. Although he did not deliberately spread it, as time went by, Zheng Xiyi not only had good acting skills, but also an honest, diligent, modest and polite image, which was erected in the film and TV drama circles.
