Chapter 226: Period Drama Modern Drama
"Strong Enemies", "Spotlight", "Yizhimei", "You Are My Destiny", ......
To be honest, with so many scripts in front of him, Zheng Yucheng has some real experience of his popularity. No matter how exaggerated the news from the outside media is, in fact, for Zheng Yucheng, who is dedicated to the filming of TV dramas and variety shows, there is a hazy feeling through the veil.
'Very popular', 'national brother', 'the next generation of national MC' or something, after all, it's an exaggerated title, and now it's a flood of people in this year, and it doesn't have much reference value. However, when these scripts were invited to the door, Zheng Yucheng really experienced the real feeling of popularity.
Each of these invitations can be regarded as a big production on the TV station, and actresses like Cai Lin and Son Ye-jin are also enough to look up to him before him. However, now he is no longer the nameless gagman who envied Ha Dongxun in the food stalls for being able to cooperate with well-known actresses like Jang Nara, and now he has the extent to be able to cooperate with them.
"Woo Cheng, Woo Cheng ......"
Beside him, the agent Lee Sang-yeol recalled the obviously pensive Zheng Yucheng with a deep voice, looking at him who was a little fascinated, the agent didn't care too much, and then turned the topic to the script in front of him and said, "Because of the popularity of "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop" last year, and Kong Yu, who originally played the starring role, has enlisted in the army, so the TV station has paid attention to you and sent a good script invitation......"
"However, I personally think that the daily drama "You Are My Destiny" actually doesn't recommend you much next, although it is the male lead, but the Japanese drama actually has little requirements for the actor's popularity and acting skills, and the filming of hundreds of episodes in a row is far less topical than the miniseries."
For the agent's suggestion, Zheng Yucheng couldn't help but nodded. Indeed, as Lee Sang-yeol said, the filming time of Japanese dramas is a little too long. The filming schedule of one episode is also a little unrealistic for me, who already has a lot of variety shows. Although he intends to develop in variety shows and actors, he doesn't have the idea of treating himself as a cow, so he can only regretfully give up the role of the leading actor in this daily drama.
Regarding Zheng Yucheng's reaction, Lee Sang-yeol actually didn't have much surprise, although, if he could, he hoped that the other party would be able to turn his mind to the actor side of the variety show in his hand. However, obviously with Zheng Yucheng's enthusiasm for variety shows, this kind of request is not very realistic.
"That's right, brother. Do you know who the heroine of this daily drama is? Although he had already made up his mind to give up the invitation to be the leading actor of the drama "You Are My Destiny", Zheng Yucheng still subconsciously asked Lee Sang-yeol in front of him.
"Heroine?" Hearing this question, Lee Sang-yeol couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but he reacted quickly, and after a little thought, he said, "It's not very clear about the specifics, but I heard that the crew intends to invite female idols to play the heroine,"
"Oh. Is it. Nodding, Zheng Yucheng didn't pay much attention to it, and then focused on the other script.
Then there's the problem. looked at the agent in front of him and chose a lot of scripts. Zheng Yucheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If he could, Jung Woo-sung certainly hoped to accept all the invitations to these scripts, after all, Chae Lin and Son Ye-jin are both actresses who are worth working with. However, it is clear that there is some wishful thinking.
"Strong Enemies" is a little better. There is no conflict as a moonfire drama, but "Spotlight" and "Yizhimei" are completely Shuimu dramas at the same time, and they are TV station sparring dramas. Zheng Yucheng doesn't think so. The TV station will stagger the broadcast time of the two dramas because of its own appearance.
He hasn't been blindly confident to this extent. Therefore, I can only choose as much as possible.
Although the theme of the script of "Strong Enemies" is novel, as the first TV series to describe the theme of the Blue House guards, it also gives people a feeling of brightness, but, after all, the crew invited Zheng Yucheng to play a role that is not too important. Moreover, judging from the description of the script, most of the focus is also on Yingzhen played by Cai Lin as the heroine, in fact, the attraction of Zheng Yucheng is not too great.
"Spotlight" is the same as "Strong Enemies", the perspective of the reporter of the Social Department of the Information Bureau as the main line also attracts his attention, and the role that the crew invited Zheng Yucheng to play is also quite important in the play. Being able to have more wonderful rivalry with the heroine Son Ye-jin is a very eye-catching thing from that point of view.
However, the subject of social news reporters always makes him feel uneasy, after all, the main line of TV dramas involving social themes is obviously not too easy. Filming a TV series with a heavy theme is actually a very test of the writer's strength, and if you can't grasp the proportion, a TV series with such a theme can easily give people a backfire effect.
Moreover, judging from the theme given by the script, it seems that it intends to go to the real feeling, which is undoubtedly a test for the crew. But, after all, it's Son Ye-jin.
With a different mood, Zheng Yucheng looked at the next script, if compared with the previous script of "spotlight", the script of "Yizhimei" is obviously much easier and witty. Because, in the original script, which was adapted from the comics, in addition to retaining the feeling of the original era, there are anachronistic modern descriptions from time to time that are also very suitable for the appetite of Zheng Woo-sung, a gagman.
Moreover, it is a period drama, looking at the script, Zheng Yucheng can't help but recall his previous experience of making a cameo appearance in the "Li Suan" special in "Infinite Challenge". Although the cameo was short, the completely different feeling of period dramas and modern dramas also gave Zheng Yucheng an experience that he had never had before.
To be honest, the previous invitation to "Frost Flower Shop" did make Zheng Yucheng a little moved, if it weren't for the fact that he had promised not to appear in movies with this kind of theme again, Zheng Yucheng might have really agreed. Now, once again there is an opportunity to appear in a costume drama in front of him, Zheng Yucheng is really a little excited.
What's more, the role that the crew of "Yizhimei" invited him to play is also very challenging, Bian Shiguan, as Yizhimei's half-brother, coupled with his love for Bian Encai, the entanglement competition between the three is a very challenging thing to test his acting skills.
Do you want to try to star in a period drama again?
What is it? In hesitation, Zheng Yucheng inadvertently noticed that there was a script in front of him that he hadn't noticed before, and reached out to pick it up and look at it.
"What is the strange name of "Western Antique Fruit Shop"?"
……
"Hey, this script is here." Noticing Zheng Yucheng's gaze, agent Lee Sang-yeol glanced at the script in his hand, patted his head and said suddenly, "I said why can't I find it, it turns out that I accidentally got caught with the script of the TV series." ”
Then, Lee Sang-yeol smiled bitterly, "Actually, this is a movie script, it seems to be adapted from the work of a Japanese manga artist, and manga is the name." Japan has already filmed a live-action TV series, and this time the Korean version should have been successfully starred in "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop" before, so I found you hoping to play the leading role. ”
"Isn't that a good thing?" Hearing Lee Sang-yeol's introduction, Zheng Yucheng glanced down at the movie script in his hand again, it is not uncommon to remake Japanese works, there have been many TV dramas and movies that have taken this path before, he is just a little strange, obviously it is also an invitation from the actor, why doesn't Lee Sang-yeol mention it much. "Director Min Kuidong is also a very powerful director."
He took a look at the introduction of the script, and the film director Min Kuidong is also a well-known representative director of Zhongmuro, who had previously filmed movies such as "The Most Beautiful Week of My Life", and he was responsible for filming this "Western Antique Fruit Shop". There shouldn't be any problems.
"But the problem is that there are a lot of same-sex plots in the original Japanese work "Western Antique Foreign Sweets Shop", so ......"
"Uh," I heard the broker's reply. Zheng Yucheng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, the emotional problem was still on him. Then again, though. Why do these subjects like to find themselves so much, is there really something hidden in him that even he doesn't know.
While depressed, Zheng Yucheng looked through the script of "Western Antique Fruit Shop" in his hand.
After roughly reading the script of "Western Antique Foreign Fruit Shop", Jung Woo-sung knew that Lee Sang-yeol and himself had misunderstood, although there were also many expressions about the plot of same-sex love in the script, but the actor who invited Jung Woo-sung to star in Kim Jin-hyuk was an outright heterosexual. Moreover, judging from the plot, it is quite hated for homosexuality.
The plot mainly tells that the protagonist Kim Jin-hyuk was kidnapped when he was a child, so he has been closely protected by his family since he was a child. But my heart has always been troubled by the special complex planted by this experience in my childhood. In order not to worry his family, he quit his job and transformed a former antique shop into a cake shop and named it Antique.
In charge of Antique's cake work is a cake chef Min Xianyu who returned from France, he is Kim Jin-hyuk's classmate, and also has the title of Magic Gay, who once expressed his affection for Jin-hyuk when he was in school, and was brutally responded to by Jin-hyuk. At the same time, because Min Xianyu, who is a cake chef, is afraid to approach women, Jin-hyuk has to give up the original idea of recruiting female clerks and look for a new clerk who will not like the demonic Gay Min Xianyu. At this moment, Yang Jiben, a boxer who is struggling with his career, becomes a clerk in a cake shop as an assistant to the cake chef, and then they welcome another partner, Su Yang, who is clumsy but has always taken care of and protected Jin-hyuk's bodyguard, and works as a waiter in the store while being disliked.
Because of the combination of delicious cakes and handsome men, cake shops have become a popular spot in shopping streets. A small shop door, there is a store manager looking for childhood memories, a boxer full of fighting spirit, a genius cake chef who hides secrets in his heart and a good brother who never leaves, the plot revolves around the sad secrets and healing process of 4 men, and unfolds in the form of suspense
The script of "Western Antique Fruit Shop" gave Zheng Yucheng a similar feeling to "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop", and he was also a handsome man's partner, but Zheng Yucheng changed from a coffee shop to a cake shop. However, the difference with "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop" is indeed that it is obviously much heavier than the movie "Western Antique Foreign Fruit Shop" from "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop".
Every employee who comes to the cake shop has their own heartache, and the plot of the movie also develops in the process of them snuggling up to each other to heal their wounds.
"Brother, when will this movie start shooting?"
"Hmm, Yucheng you?" Glancing at Zheng Yucheng in some surprise, Lee Sang-yeol was a little puzzled, "Aren't you reluctant to appear in same-sex love films, what?" Even a big production like "Frost Flower Shop" has been abandoned, but a "Western Antique Foreign Fruit Shop" with a quirky title has attracted his interest.
"Of course I'm not going to play a same-sex role anymore." has already been guaranteed, Zheng Yucheng naturally won't touch that kind of movie anymore and worry after his parents know about it.
"Then you ......" Lee Sang-yeol felt that he couldn't keep up with Zheng Woo-sung's rhythm.
"But in this movie, it's not me playing a same-sex role, so why don't I play it?" Kim Jin-hyuk is out-and-out heterosexual in the movie, and "Western Antique Fruit Shop" is not a movie that depicts same-sex entanglements like "Never Regret" or "Frost Flower Shop", but a movie that uses the male protagonist Kim Jin-hyuk to redeem himself.
Why didn't he take it?
"Is that so?" Hearing Zheng Yucheng's answer, Lee Sang-yeol nodded a little abruptly, and he couldn't be blamed, it was really the original comic of the Japanese version of "Western Antique Fruit Shop" that was a little too thunderous, so that when Lee Sang-yeol saw the name, he thought it was another movie with same-sex as a selling point.
"As for the movie, although there is not much introduction, it should not start filming until May or June." After all, the filming of the movie has to be prepared more than the TV series, so Lee Sang-yeol roughly calculated and came up with the result, "Although it is not accurate, it probably shouldn't be wrong." ”
"In that case," hearing the agent's reply, Zheng Yucheng glanced down at the TV series script in front of him again, and after hesitating, he made a decisive decision, "Then before the movie starts shooting, help me take over the role of "Yizhimei" first......
In the end, he still did not get rid of the temptation of period dramas and chose to star in "Yizhimei".
