Episode 761: Which one are you more afraid of?
Before Zheng Xiyi could finish sighing, the phone rang again, he picked up the phone and glanced at it, and answered the channel with a smile: "Sister Zhixian, did you say yes today? ”
It wasn't Jun Ji-hyun's voice on the other side of the phone, but a deep male voice, "Yo don't plug it, Hee-yi, it's me ......"
Zheng Xiyi was taken aback, and hurriedly changed to a respectful tone and said: "Ah, yo don't stuff, Brother Yunshi, it turned out to be you, Crisp Song, I thought it was Sister Zhixian who was naughty again." ”
"Ahh
Jun Ji-hyun's anger pierced the distance of thousands of miles like an awl, piercing Zheng Xiyi's tears, "Miane, Nuna, it's me who is wrong! Brother Yunshi, you can't frame me like this, how can you turn on hands-free?"
There was a burst of laughter on the other end of the phone, and Kim Yun-seok said quite embarrassedly: "Mianada, Mianada, I didn't mean it, everyone asked for this, I can't help it, you know my ......"
Zheng Xiyi smiled, he knows Kim Yun-seok very well, this brother has a pure personality, thin skin, and soft ears, in addition to being quite strict in acting skills, he is an honest person who won't say no at all, so he didn't care and said: "It's okay, brother, I don't know you yet? By the way, brother, are you participating in the show to make a live connection? Is the movie about to be released?"
Kim Yoon-seok and Jun Ji-hyun are co-starring in a Sino-Korean co-production of the commercial blockbuster "League of Thieves", and a small half of the main roles are played by Chinese actors. Kim Yoon-seok and Kim so-hyun, who plays a Chinese-Korean, also have a lot of Chinese lines in the movie, which is obviously a great challenge for contemporary Korean actors who have grown up in a de-Chinese environment, so before filming started, Kim Yoon-seok took Kim so-hyun and Jun Ji-hyun to find Jung Hee-yi.
The best Chinese in the Korean actor circle is undoubtedly Jung Hee-yi, Kim Yoon-seok and Jun Ji-hyun are all related to him, who else can you find if you don't look for him?
It's just that they obviously underestimated the difficulty of this learning, because if it's just simple spoken words like hello, thank you, and I love you, of course it's okay to hug Buddha feet temporarily, but the movie lines are different, not only the pronunciation is okay, but the actors need to understand and interpret it.
Kim so-hyun is a main supporting role and a newcomer, and the Chinese lines will be a little bit, which can be accepted by both the director and the audience, but Kim Yoon-seok is different. If he can't understand the lines correctly and his performance is not in place, as a Korean actor-level actor and a leading actor, if this situation really happens, let alone whether the director and the audience can accept it, Kim Yun-seok himself can't accept it first.
Zheng Xiyi first marked all the Chinese lines with Korean homophones on the script, and then annotated the meaning and feelings of the lines, and spent two weeks constantly rehearsing with them until Kim Yun-seok felt that he had completely eaten these Chinese lines. The only thing that makes Zheng Xiyi feel sorry is probably that the Chinese pronunciation of Kim Yoon-seok and Kim so-hyun is still so awkward no matter how correct it is.
But there's no way around it. Modern Mandarin pronunciation is divided into four tones: Yin Ping, Yang Ping, Shang Sheng, and De Sheng, and most languages in the world, including Korean, have only one tone, how can a one-dimensional creature understand the language pronunciation of a four-dimensional creature in just half a month.
This is not the end, after the filming of the movie started, Kim Yun-seok, who was filming in Macau, actually made a video call to Zheng Xi-yi and remotely guided his filming site, and Zheng Xi-yi could only give a thumbs up to Kim Yun-seok who was so strict.
The footage shot that day is one of the most critical plots of the whole movie, the two gangs of professional thieves from China and South Korea met for the first time in Macau under the convening of Kim Yun-seok, and all the main characters in the movie appeared, so Zheng Xiyi also met Hong Kong actor Ren Dahua, Malaysian Chinese actress Li Xinjie and other Chinese actors by the way.
When filming officially began, Zheng Xiyi knew that Ren Dahua could only speak Cantonese, and his Chinese pronunciation was not even as good as Jin Yunshi, who had only studied for half a month, if it weren't for Li Xinjie's standard Chinese of being able to speak authentically, Zheng Xiyi would have to worry that "League of Thieves" would become the most ruthless movie in history after its release......
It is precisely because of the last video call that Zheng Xiyi will think that this call is a variety show phone connection, after all, he served as the Chinese lines of Kim Yunshi and others and remote video guidance is also a very good publicity point.
Before Kim Yoon-seok could reply on the other end of the phone, Jun Ji-hyun hurriedly replied: "Ani, our movie hasn't finished filming yet, and it won't be finished until the beginning of next month. ”
"Huh?
Zheng Xiyi unexpectedly pinched his fingers and counted the days, he clearly remembered that "League of Thieves" started filming in June, and the last video call was in the summer, and now there are still a few days in November, and it has already entered winter, and it has not yet been completed.
Jun Ji Hyun said in order to complain about his grievances: "Inside, director NIM has strict requirements, and there are many action scenes, especially you Nuna and me, all the shots are done by myself hanging Weiya between high-rise buildings, it's just playing with life, so it's a little slower." ”
"Wow, Sister Zhixian, you are working so hard, I must buy tickets to enjoy it in person when it is released, I am really looking forward to it!" Zheng Xiyi had never seen this movie in his previous life, but as soon as he heard this, he knew that Jun Zhixian was really fighting, so he hurriedly sent a lot of flattery without money.
In "League of Thieves", Jun Ji-hyun has to fly between high-rise buildings, and although the crew has done enough protective measures, these action scenes are still very dangerous. Because the hanging Weiya is basically operated by manpower, it is impossible to perfectly control the size of the force, and the actor hanging on Weiya is a marionette, except for the movements and expressions in the air dozens of meters above the ground, the rest are resigned to fate, so it is conceivable how much pressure Jun Ji-hyun has to bear in person, and the injuries on his body are relatively trivial.
Jun Ji-hyun heard Jung Hee-yi give face like this, and his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and Kim Yoon-seok hurriedly grabbed the phone and said: "Hee-yi, in fact, our filming is almost over, I just want to talk to you today, when the movie is released, I want to invite you to the premiere, director NIM and producer NIM have told me several times that I must invite you." ”
Jung Hee-yi smiled slightly, of course Kim Yoon-seok didn't just invite him to the premiere, this was the producer of "League of Thieves" to show him goodwill and show his concern and support.
Zheng Xiyi will naturally not refuse the kindness of others, but considering his recent schedule, Zheng Xiyi asked with some apologies: "Kang Sangmida, Brother Yun Shi, please help me convey my gratitude to director NIM and producer IM." It's just that whether I can attend the premiere depends on the release time, and I won't return to Korea until next year's New Year, I don't know if it's too late?"
Kim Yun-seok understood what Jung Hee-yi meant, this was to stay in the United States for a while to avoid the chaos in South Korea, so he laughed and said: "Hahahaha, it must be in time, it must be in time, according to the temper of our director IUM, I think you will be in time to come back in the middle of next year......"
Zheng Xiyi was speechless for a while, Brother Yunshi, are you really good at complaining about director NIM like this?
“…… Well, since that's the case, then I'll have no problem and will definitely go. ”
"Okay, okay, that's good, hahaha, I'm done. Hearing Zheng Xiyi's agreement, Kim Yun-seok was also much more relaxed, he was not afraid that Zheng Xiyi would refuse, but the producer didn't need to be so tactful.
Now that the matter is done, he turned on the big brother mode again, and said with emotion: "Xiyi, it's a good way for you not to return to China for the time being, now in this society, I don't know what's wrong, few people pay attention to serious things, but gossip is more attractive, it's really ......"
"Yunshi OPPA, you are old and outdated, let's drink your wine obediently, I'll talk to Xiyi. Jun Ji-hyun on the side didn't leave him time to preach, as soon as he reached out and grabbed his phone, he ran aside after dropping a complaint.
Kim Yoon-seok grinned, reached out and didn't catch Jun Ji-hyun, so he could only point at her with a smile, shook his head and turned back to the table to drink and chat with the others.
"Xiyi, you won't just hide like this, right? How can a man escape, hurry back to China to get his girlfriend back!" Jun Ji-hyun, who was not afraid of big things, began to stir up trouble at the first sentence of the phone.
Zheng Xiyi naturally didn't fall for her agitation, and said with a chuckle: "Sister Zhixian, Sister Xiaoli is not my girlfriend, she is just my dearest ...... like you."
"Come on, I'm not the kind of Nuna she throws away when you run out, isn't it just an IDOL......" Jun Ji-hyun pouted and said in disgust: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to care about you, but do you really want to hide in the United States for a few months?"
"Sister Zhixian, my itinerary has already been arranged, and I will be on a few shows in the United States next month, not specifically for this matter, and besides, I don't need to go back to increase sales for others, and I don't have any money to share, right?"
Zheng Xiyi explained casually, no longer entangled with her Lee Hyori, Jun Ji-hyun is a typical Korean actor, the concept of hierarchy is seared in the bones, and he can't look down on ordinary TV drama actors, let alone IDOL, even if he is invincible in the world, Lee Hyori is just a little IDOL in her eyes.
"Okay, don't talk about it, I'm also annoyed by those media's questions, and I can't say anything to them, so I can only get angry with you. Jun Ji-hyun also ended the topic simply, "By the way, if you don't come back in the United States, won't you go to this year's Blue Dragon Film Awards? ”
Zheng Xiyi smiled bitterly: "Sister Zhixian, you forgot, I didn't tell you at the beginning that "The Melting Pot" cannot and will not win any A-class film festival awards. ”
Jun Ji-hyun frowned and said, "That was then, and now is now." I heard that Congress will pass the relevant amendment bill in the next two days, because your film is even going to be amended, and the judging committee of the film awards will dare to hack it?"
The corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking smile, and Zheng Xiyi asked slowly, "Law...... Oh, Nuna, do you think those old men on the jury are afraid of an amendment bill that has nothing to do with the film industry, or are they more afraid of a church that controls millions of believers?"
“……”
Jun Ji-hyun was speechless......
