Episode 595: The Running Man under the Script
"Brother, I'm really not lying to you, I'm really busy now, just to cope with the next day's joint practice with Sister Zhiyuan, I have to spend four or five hours every day analyzing the characters and memorizing lines, and this is also the reason why I don't go to Hongdae. It's the peak tourist season www.biquge.info, there are so many tourists there, I need a quieter place, so I changed to Hemingway. Zheng Xiyi looked at Liu Zaishi with a sincere face and explained reasonably.
With the increase of China's national strength and the increasing popularity of the Korean Wave in China, tourism to South Korea has become the first choice for many Chinese people, Seoul as the capital of South Korea and one of the most important cities, is naturally a tourist hotspot, and Hongdae, the favorite area of young Koreans, has also attracted a large number of young Chinese tourists. The LIBRARY coffee shop that Jung Hee-yi frequents has long become one of Hongdae's famous attractions, and many Chinese fans have long known through the Internet that Jung Hee-yi will come here to read books and drink coffee when he is fine, and they will naturally not miss this opportunity to get close to him when they travel to Seoul.
In the past, when there were fewer tourists, Korean fans were quite happy, which also reflected the international influence of their own artists, and Chinese is also one of Zheng Xiyi's mother tongues, and there is no obstacle to communicating with Chinese fans, and occasionally helping fans of the two countries to translate and exchange their fan experiences, which is also an interesting thing. But recently, with the arrival of the summer vacation tourism season, there are more and more Chinese fans in coffee shops, and the space in coffee shops is always limited.
Zheng Xiyi, who got the feedback, didn't want fans in the two countries to make trouble over this little thing, so he asked C&C to make an announcement, announcing that he had taken a new job and entered the filming preparation period, fans know that he generally has no time to go to Hongdae if he has a job, and the battle for the location of the coffee shop is not so important, although Korean fans still have some complaints, but this time it is Zheng Xiyi who broke the five-year gap in TV dramas and returned to the small screen, such a big surprise is enough to make them forgive everything, and that little unpleasantness naturally disappears.
The fans are satisfied, but Zheng Xiyi is a little helpless, he used to read the script and memorize the lines in the LIBRARY coffee shop, look at the youthful and beautiful scenery outside the window from time to time to nourish his eyes, and then chat and laugh with the fans for a while, which can be regarded as a combination of work and rest, and now he can't go to Hongdae, but it is not good to appear in other public places in public, which naturally gives him a headache.
It's not that he can't do pre-study at home, but just imagining the scene of staying at home alone and memorizing lines will feel very bleak......
At the critical moment when Jung Hee-yi was having a headache over the matter, Seo Hyun stepped forward and took him to Lee so-man's Hemingway coffee shop near the company, where S.M's artists often come to cheer, both public areas and secluded areas dedicated to artists, where Seo Hyun often came after college. Because the eight Ernies in the dormitory couldn't be quiet for a minute or a second unless they fell asleep, she couldn't think about it properly if she wanted to write a report, and it was not very convenient in the company, so she found this place.
Ha Ji Won scoffed at Zheng Xiyi's explanation, "If you need a quieter place, you can be as quiet as you want when you go home, you just have to peep at other people from time to time, and you will make such trouble in order to satisfy your own quirks!"
Liu Zaishi knew that Zheng Xiyi liked to read books in public areas such as coffee shops, which was indeed a quirk for artists, but he didn't expect Ha Jiyuan to understand it in this way, and immediately applauded after a while, "Dafa! Zhiyuan XI, you are so right, no wonder I always think his habit is weird, it turns out that his real purpose is to spy on others! Zhiyuan XI is worthy of being a movie queen, and he can see through this kid's hidden perverted psychology at a glance!"
"What voyeurism! What perverted! Observing life is the basic skill of an actor, in Brother Shi, you are not an actor and don't understand, forget it, Sister Zhiyuan, you, the actress, actually said such layman's words, I really wonder if you are the actress who bribed the judges to get it!" Zheng Xiyi shouted angrily.
Ha Ji Won said calmly: "I also observe life, and other actors also observe life, but we just pay more attention to the people around us, and we don't peep at the public, let alone in public every day." β
Liu Zaishi laughed and clapped his hands, Zheng Xiyi lowered his head weakly and waved his hand and said: "I didn't bother to explain to you, different actors have different methods, and I admit that my methods are a little different." β
Ha Ji Won continued to mend the knife: "Well, the ideas of the perverts are just a little different from ordinary people. β
Zheng Xiyi had no choice but to use a killer move, pointing at himself and saying: "Okay, it doesn't matter, anyway, the whole world knows that I have been suspected of having multiple personalities since I was a child, even if it is really perverted, it is normal!"
Ha Ji Won and Liu Zaishi were speechless, what else could they say if they took out this trick, Zheng Xiyi patted his chest and comforted himself: "Eh, I knew that being a mentally ill person was such a cheap thing, I should have admitted that I was sick back then." β
The two who were shocked by Zheng Xiyi's shamelessness had to eat food silently, Zheng Xiyi glanced at the two of them proudly, full of provocations, so angry that Ha Zhiyuan rolled his eyes, but he couldn't do anything about him.
Liu Zaishi suddenly remembered his original purpose, slapped his head and said, "Ah, you kid diverted the topic again, what we were just going to say was that you put me on the show!"
Zheng Xiyi shook his head and continued to say boringly: "As a patient, I refuse to do extra work, just concentrate on completing my own work!"
Liu Zaishi saw that he was playing this trick again, and his face was red and his neck was thick, but there was nothing to do, Ha Ji Won rolled his eyes, and he was unwilling to fail to give Liu Zaishi an idea again, "In Shi OPPA, in fact, you don't have to be so troublesome if you want him to go to the show, and you don't even have to say hello to him." β
"MO?" Jung Hee-yi and Yoo Jae-seok exclaimed in unison, turning their heads to look at Ha Ji-won.
"Actors generally don't often appear in variety shows, of course, there is another reason why someone often goes to "The Birth of the Family", Ha Ji Won came up with the idea and did not forget to squeeze Zheng Xiyi, "Like I went on "The Birth of the Family" last year to promote the movie, except for someone, isn't everyone on the show to promote their new works? I remember that someone has a movie to be released next month, and Brother Shi can go directly to the director NIM to discuss, and then in November, our TV series will also be broadcast, and then in Shi OPPA, you can invite it again, anyway, TV series and variety shows are broadcast by SBS, whether it is a TV station or a crew, it will definitely agree, if I agree to play as the heroine, the actor will be even more unlikely to refuse, so that someone will have to appear twice in two or three months. β
"Eh! Ji Won XI, you are amazing, not only are your acting skills good, but even your brain is so good, you are simply the embodiment of beauty and wisdom, no wonder you can become a double actress!" Liu Zaishi smiled so much that his eyes were gone, and he was busy sending a lot of flattering words to Ha Ji Won, Ha Ji Won nodded and smiled triumphantly, and at the same time glanced at Zheng Xiyi, which was also full of provocations!
Zheng Xiyi was stunned for a long time, and suddenly took Ha Zhiyuan's hand and said sincerely: "Sister Zhiyuan, do you know how hard it is to work in Brother Shi's new show? MAN is a hundred times easier! The program process of "MAN" is to run and run all the time, and it has to run all night, tired and sleepy. As a woman, Sister Zhiyuan, you also know how much damage to your beauty is if you don't sleep, and besides, you're already very tired from filming TV dramas, do you want to go to the show again to exhaust yourself?!"
Ha Ji Won said with a righteous face: "For the sake of ratings, I can overcome these difficulties, so Xiyi, you will definitely overcome them, right?"
Zheng Xiyi immediately stood up with a painful face, covered his heart with both hands, and said with difficulty: "Animida, I'm a patient, I can't work too hard, so Sister Zhiyuan, starring in "RUNNING. MAN is up to you!"
Ha Ji Won stroked his forehead speechlessly, Liu Zaishi glared angrily, patted the table and said: "Ah, I'm so old, I'm in such poor health, and I still have to insist on shooting every issue, your kid's body is better than Zhong Guo, and you dare to say that you can't work too hard! No, you should at least go and run one issue for me, otherwise I will pull you to run once every time you have a new work, as Zhiyuan XI said." β
Zheng Xiyi's facial features are wrinkled together, in fact, he is not really lazy to that extent, but he is just interested in "RUNNING. MAN really can't arouse much interest. Although this show will be popular in Asia in the future, the overseas market is stronger than any Korean variety show, and even the overseas market alone has reduced the Korean ratings to only single digits. MAN" LIVES A NOURISHING LIFE, BUT IN THE EYES OF ZHENG XIYI, "RUNNING. The traces of the script of "MAN" are very serious, and almost all the bridges are interpreted according to the script arrangement.
As an actor, Zheng Xiyi doesn't mind playing roles, but he never accepts too naΓ―ve scripts. "MAN" is just a variety show, and it shouldn't be too demanding of its script, but Zheng Xiyi really doesn't want to endure the torture of the script, and he has to run all night tired and sleepy, which is completely a double torture from physical to mental.
