Episode 770: Inappropriate and challenging
When Zheng Xiyi got up the next day, it was already past ten o'clock, he read the script too late last night, washed up and looked around, but found that the girls and Lin Xiyin were not at home.
While having breakfast and sending a message to Lin Xiyin, Zheng Xiyi knew that they got up early in the morning and went to the Ed Sullivan Theater again to step on the stage for the second time, after all, the dance that was re-choreographed yesterday still had to be rehearsed on the spot to determine whether it was suitable, but it was also this time in the morning, because the venue would be returned to the program team in the afternoon to prepare for the live broadcast.
When the girls returned to Zheng's house, Zheng Xiyi was holding a script and reading, and a few gossip elements just wanted to surround but were stopped by Yun'er and Xu Xian, Lin Xiyin asked Zheng Xiyi with a smile: "Are you still reading that script?"
Yun'er and Xu Xian, the two of them thought that Zheng Xiyi was reading the script of "Love Rain", so they stopped the sisters, after all, the company's film and television resources are tilted towards Yun'er, and they are not very company for Xiuying and Yooli, who also have actor attributes, but they also asked Zheng Xiyi to pick on the script and refuse to act, which seems a bit excessive, so the two of them don't want to make trouble Everyone knows.
Zheng Xiyi raised the script in his hand and explained: "The script is very good, but it may not be suitable for me to play the role this time......"
The curiosity of the nine girls has been hooked, Zheng Xiyi's strength is well known, no matter what kind of role can be controlled, but now he admits that he is not suitable, which is too rare.
Lin Xiyin also looked at Zheng Xiyi suspiciously, she knew very well her brother's inhuman acting skills, how could there be an inappropriate role, "Not suitable? Haven't you already played an older role? What is the difficulty of a small idol drama?"
Zheng Xiyi shook his head and said: "This drama is a group play of four male protagonists, and the others are all old drama bones in their forties, I am not afraid of Biao's acting skills, but it is really difficult for me to play a forty-year-old middle-aged man in my twenties, at least there is a clear difference when everyone is in the same frame." ”
Lin Xiyin tilted his head and thought about it, and said uncertainly: "Why do I think you don't seem to be complaining, but showing off?"
Zheng Xiyi laughed, waved his hand and said, "Sister, you think too much, I'm serious." Although the difference in appearance can be solved by makeup, and I can imitate the temperament of a middle-aged man, it is easy for the audience to appear in an instant when they see several of us appearing on the same screen. ”
"Uh...... It seems that he can really make a play. Lin Xiyin made up the picture in his brain, and immediately understood what Zheng Xiyi meant.
No matter how much Zheng Xiyi plays a forty-year-old middle-aged man, it is a fact that everyone knows that he is only in his twenties, if there is no comparison, the audience can still accept this age setting, but if he is put together with several other forty-year-old actors, the audience will naturally have a sense of disobedience.
Lin Xiyin glared at Zheng Xiyi and said, "Then what are you still watching with the script, just refuse it directly." ”
Zheng Xiyi shrugged, "But the script is really good, and it's ...... I think it's a fun challenge!"
Lin Xiyin rolled her eyes, waved her hand angrily and said: "It's you who says it's inappropriate, and it's you who says it's interesting, and you can finish everything! ”
After speaking, she ignored Zheng Xiyi, turned to the girls and said, "Okay, let's ignore this boring person and go up and continue rehearsals." ”
Although the girls were extremely curious about the script in Zheng Xiyi's hand, they saw that the two of them had never said it clearly, and they were embarrassed to ask, so they all nodded, and ran to the stairs to prepare to go upstairs to practice.
Zheng Xiyi opened his mouth and said, "Yun'er, Xiaoxian, you wait a minute, I have something to tell you." ”
Yun'er and Xu Xian agreed and stopped, and the other girls slowed down in wonder, and their eyes turned on Zheng Xiyi, Yun'er and Xu Xian, but in the end, no one asked out loud, anyway, they spent more time together, and it would be good to interrogate them when they were free.
When Lin Xiyin and the girls went upstairs to practice, Zheng Xiyi took out the script of "Love Rain" from under the coffee table and handed it to Yun'er, "I have already read the script last night, and it is worthy of being the work of Wu Xiuyan writer IUM, but unfortunately, the problem is that this is the work of Wu Xiuyan writer IUM." ”
Yuna raised her eyebrows and asked, "OPPA, are you talking about tongue twisters?"
Zheng Xiyi was so angry that she raised her hand and knocked her, Yun'er hid behind Xu Xian with a smile, tilted her head and said, "I don't understand what OPPA said at all, can you explain it clearly?"
"If this drama had been placed ten years ago, it would have been a big hit, and if it had been placed five or six years ago, probably the results would not have been too bad, but now, what ......" Zheng Xiyi stopped and thought about it, and said in a firm tone: "I think it's basically a life on the street." ”
"Ah, not really, right?"
Yuna and Seo Hyun were taken aback, although Yuna had a strange feeling about this script, but she never dared to think that this drama would hit the street, after all, she is the screenwriter of "Blue Life and Death Love" and "Winter Love Song", plus director Yoon Seok-ho, it is modest to describe it as a strong team.
Zheng Xiyi smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically: "Do you know why the company's script review team and your agents think this drama is very good, but you yourself feel weird?"
Yuna shook her head in confusion.
"Because of age," Zheng Xiyi didn't sell Guan Zi, and gave the answer directly, "Whether it is the script review team or Brother Yongzhu, they are all in their thirties and forties, "Blue Life and Death Love" and "Winter Love Song" are the most classic love idol dramas when they were young, so in their eyes, this "Love Rain" by Wu Xiuyan writer NIM and Yin Xihu director NIM teamed up again is simply a recast classic, but for a little girl of your age, will the classics from more than ten years ago be appetizing?"
Yuna thought hesitantly and said, "Uh...... It doesn't seem to be. I later watched these two dramas in order to learn acting skills, although the acting skills of the predecessors are very good, and the lens language is also very unique, but the plot is too bloody......"
Zheng Xiyi nodded, "The times are developing, and the plot of idol dramas must also keep up with the trend of the times, and if you take the plot model of ten years ago, how can you have good results?
"Dafa!" Yun'er clapped her hands and said with a smile: "OPPA, you deserve to be the emperor, the analysis is too reasonable, no wonder I feel weird, I finally understand when I hear you say this, I just think this plot is too old-fashioned!"
Zheng Xiyi smiled proudly, but Yun'er changed to a bitter gourd face in a blink of an eye, "But, OPPA...... I'm going to say to Yongsu OPPA like this, do you think they'll believe it, or I'll just tell them what you said?"
"No!" Zheng Xiyi and Xu Xian, who had been standing aside without speaking, objected in unison.
Yun'er was startled, looked at Zheng Xiyi and then at Xu Xian, a layer of suspicion appeared on her face, Xu Xian hurriedly said: "If Oni you tell Yongsu OPPA what your predecessor said, I estimate that things will be more troublesome." ”
Zheng Xiyi nodded and said: "Although I occupy the name of your acting teacher, it is not my duty to pick the script for you, and I can't control the script review team and your agent, if you use my words to stop this basically determined itinerary, it will definitely be impossible." ”
Yun'er is well-versed in the world, but she understood what Zheng Xiyi meant in her heart. Although Zheng Xiyi is famous enough, after all, he is only a director of C&C and not a director of S.M. Just look at the difficult process of her and Xu Xian going to audition for "Introduction to Architecture", he dared to meddle in the film and television work of S.M's headquarters and deny their decision-making, which would only attract the suspicion of the other party, and even cause the opposite effect.
"What should I do then?" Yun'er asked with a sad face, "According to what you say, even if Xiyin Oni says it, it may not be able to stop it." ”
Zheng Xiyi nodded, although Lin Xiyin is the director of S.M, she is not in charge of the affairs of Girls' Generation now, and who doesn't know that her opinion is Zheng Xiyi's opinion, which is no different from directly saying it in the name of Zheng Xiyi.
Xu Xian also frowned slightly, this matter is really difficult to handle, Lin Xiyin and Zheng Xiyi can't stand up and speak, and it's useless for Yun'er to say it herself. They are just artists, although the company claims to consider the artist's suggestions, but it is also a claim, how can they really listen to the artist's own opinion.
Girls' Generation is now the absolute pillar of S.M, and Taeyeon will discuss the itinerary with the agent team on behalf of everyone every week, but it is also the itinerary, and Taeyeon has no power to decide which one to take or which to take. In the eyes of the company, they are just commodities, they don't need to have ideas, as long as they honestly implement the company's decisions, at most, they can change the itinerary and personnel arrangement, balance resources, or give members more time to rest.
The three of them were silent, frowning and thinking about how to convince the company, until Lin Xiyin came out and asked Yun'er and Xu Xian to practice, and woke up, seeing that the three of them all looked sad, Lin Xiyin asked suspiciously: "What's wrong, why are you three like this?"
Yun'er pouted and threw herself into Lin Xiyin's arms, and said the matter aggrievedly, Lin Xiyin also frowned, this thing is really not easy to do. After pondering for a while, Lin Xiyin couldn't think of any good way for a while, but the practice couldn't be delayed, Yun'er and Xu Xian still followed her upstairs first, leaving Zheng Xiyi alone on the sofa in the living room on the first floor to worry.
After thinking for more than ten minutes, Zheng Xiyi turned over meaninglessly, wanting to loosen his muscles and bones before continuing to think, but he forgot that he still had a script in his arms, and fell under the sofa with a bang, Zheng Xiyi hurriedly sat up and bent down to pick it up, and when he saw the name of a character on the script, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and the corners of his mouth smiled.
