Chapter 52: Filmmaking
After successfully starring in [Red Bean Girl's Love], newcomer Zixi once again took on the challenge and took over the male lead of the erotic comedy "My Savage Female Teacher". Although I have seen his skills in character creation among child stars, after all, it was more than ten years ago, and none of us dares to guarantee that he can continue the achievements of [Red Bean Girl's Love], or the glory of the past, after all, many things can be changed by time. As for whether CJ and TCE will try a failed attempt to put aside the more experienced Kwon Sang-woo and choose the newcomer Zi-hee this time, I'm afraid only the senior management of the two companies will know. --- Chosun Ilbo.
"[Red Bean Girl's Love] has finished broadcasting the eighth episode, and the ratings in Seoul have reached 23.3%, and the national ratings are nearly 20%, this kind of achievement is created by a newcomer, we should not doubt his strength, we should give enough confidence. This [My Savage Female Teacher] continues the witty and violent technique of [My Savage Girlfriend], and has been loved by the audience, as long as Zi Xixi can show the skills to play [Red Bean Girl's Love], it should not be difficult to play an excellent performance, and it is even expected to become this year's newcomer Wang is not impossible. --- Dong-A Daily.
"Zixi has the strength and ability, so everyone doesn't have to question and deny it, and a debut novel [Red Bean Girl's Love] has explained everything. All we need to look forward to is whether he can go one step further and successfully step onto the big screen. For a newcomer, this is a battle, a battle related to fate, and there is no room for the slightest negligence. --- Seoul Daily.
"To be honest, Zi Xixi's performance in [Red Bean Girl's Love] is really good, and even stole a lot of shots of the heroine Zhang Nara Xi and the other male protagonist Jin Lai Wonxi. But the production of TV series and movies is different, and just because of a TV series does not mean that his acting skills are successful or mature. Whether Zixi can master the essence of the movie script and whether it can meet the director's requirements, no one dares to be sure. For Zi Hee, the only thing we can expect is that he must not make any big noises in the movie, otherwise he will insult the name of Seoul National University. --- Asiana Daily.
In the newspaper, the newly announced list of the leading actors of the movie "My Savage Female Teacher" once again made Feng Zixi a topic of conversation. There is support and encouragement, but there is also skepticism, especially when he first starred in a movie and became the leading actor, which is really unreassuring.
Because the ratings of "Red Bean Girl's Love" once reached 25% in Seoul and 20% nationwide, it was rated as one of the most successful TV dramas this year, and Feng Zixi was also praised by the Internet and the media and the audience for his outstanding performance in the play. On his personal webpage, there are tens of thousands of clicks and thousands of messages scrolling every day, all sending blessings and appreciation to Feng Zixi. But when the news that Feng Zixi was going to star in the movie "My Savage Female Teacher" was pinned to the top of the website, it once again ignited a wave of comments.
Some members who have become Feng Zixi's crazy fans, of course, most of these are girls, school girls and young and middle-aged ladies, all of them are supporting Feng Zixi without exception, and they praise the director for employing people. The words of these people made Feng Zixi happy and worried. Because the increasing number of crazy fans has begun to affect him, any unfavorable comments about Feng Zixi, no matter what the facts, will be cursed and reprimanded by crazy fans. Quan Zhixun once counted that among all members, girls of the above age group accounted for as much as seventy percent, and it was even more terrifying in real-name registration, completely exceeding ninety percent. Therefore, Feng Zixi must be careful to deal with it in the future, because it is very scary for women to go crazy. …,
However, whether it is the newspaper or the comments on the Internet, the impact on Feng Zixi is not too great. Feng Zixi deeply remembers a sentence, which is also what his father once said to him the most: "Regardless of other people's doubts and doubts, don't care about other people's distrustful eyes." You are who you are, be yourself, do your part, and fight back against these people with your best performance, so that they can recognize and accept you, and even turn into a part of supporting you, then you are considered a success. Feng Zixi also believes that everything must be spoken with strength, and it is unrealistic to come out to refute or say some confident words now, which can only cause more controversy, which will bring more adverse effects to himself.
"Zixi! Come and see, there's a very strange email here, all in English, and I can't read it. Kwon Zhixun, who was sorting out his personal web page for Feng Zixi, shouted loudly to Feng Zixi, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa.
"I said, Brother Zhixun, didn't I let you learn English by yourself? You also said that your English skills have improved a lot, why can't you understand a single email? Feng Zixi, who didn't want to move his body, shouted from afar: "Look where it came from, who is the sender?" ”
"Robert, this should be Robert, right?" Kwon Zhixun was a little dizzy by a series of English, but fortunately, this period of study was not useless, at least he could pronounce the words of his name. "Zixi, it's a letter from a person named Robert and a Gee, you better read it yourself!"
"Robert and Gee? Do I know these two people? Feng Zixi, who was full of questions, still moved his lazy steps to the computer. Reading the content of the email, Feng Zixi's eyes gradually increased, and his mouth could no longer be closed.
"What's wrong? Is something happening? Seeing that Feng Zixi, who is usually very indifferent, actually had such an expression, Quan Zhixun couldn't help but ask a little worriedly.
"Haven't you heard of GeeLucas and Robert Zemeckis?"
"Who's here? Isn't it amazing? What do I have to hear about? Quan Zhixun still asked confusedly.
Patting his head, Feng Zixi smiled and said, "My opportunity has finally come, my opportunity has finally come." GeeLucas and Robert Zemeckis are my seniors at USC. If you are not familiar with the English name, then you will not fail to read [Star Wars] and [Forrest Gump], right? ”
"Of course I've seen [Star Wars] and [Forrest Gump], but what does this have to do with GeeLucas and Robert Zemeckis?" Kwon Ji-hoon was still a little confused, but fortunately he wasn't too stupid, so he switched and his eyes lit up immediately. "Is it Hollywood's Robert Zemeckis and George Lucas? Are they really them? What will they email you for? ”
Feng Zixi said: "This is a good opportunity, these two seniors actually teamed up to recommend me to director Gore Verbinski to star in a Hollywood movie that is about to start." Although it is only a supporting role, they said that there are still a lot of scenes and there is room to play. Let me prepare and rush to the studio in Los Angeles for an audition in a short period of time, which is a help they have given me as a senior. ”
"You said you had a chance to star in a Hollywood movie? It can't be fake, right? Quan Zhixun's mouth was bigger than Feng Zixi's just now, and he didn't even notice that saliva was dripping down.
"It can't be fake, because there are very few people who know my email address, and most of them are former USC classmates and my family. And the two directors were one of them, because I had been an intern in a film they directed, and I played a small supporting role, so I gave them my email address at that time. I didn't expect this opportunity to come, it seems that I have to discuss with Brother Xiuzhe and go to the United States for an audition as soon as possible. "No one wants to give up such a good opportunity, this is a Hollywood movie, and the impact of shooting ten Korean movies is even greater. …,
"Okay, I'll contact Brother Xiuzhe right away, he should have gone to 'Asiana Airlines' to confirm the shooting date of the advertisement."
Jin Ha Na, who appeared in front of Feng Zixi again, has changed a lot, her long hair has been cut short, and she is wearing a rustic trousers and sweater, how is it completely different from which sexy woman before?
The story of "My Savage Female Teacher" originated from a villa, where the production team rented a luxurious large villa in Gangnam as the main location for filming. Feng Zixi is better at shooting movies than TV series, after all, he has accumulated more than ten years ago, and he has shot many experimental films in the United States, so how to face the camera and move, there is no need for director Kim Kyung-shang to teach, as long as he tells how to shoot this scene, how to express and express his feelings, Feng Zixi can do it.
However, there was a problem in the first scene of the big house, which is actually not a big problem, because Feng Zixi can't smoke, but the script states that the actor Kim Jixun is a bad boy, and smoking and fighting are just as much. But Feng Zixi put the cigarette to his mouth, and the director immediately shouted to stop, because this is not what he needs to smoke.
"Zixi, haven't you ever smoked? Last time I saw your experimental film, didn't there also smoke shots, how did it get here and be completely different? Kim Kyung-sang recalled.
Feng Zixi thought about it for a while and said, "I remember that there was a movie where the mentor was for us to play a group of decadent social youths. At that time, smoking was just to hold the cigarette to my mouth and use the surrounding environment to deepen the visual effect, but this time let me inhale and puff it out, I won't, I really haven't smoked. ”
"Huh! What a good boy. Jin Ha Na touched Feng Zixi and snickered, no matter how she looked at it, it looked like she was laughing at Feng Zixi for not growing up.
The director thought for a while and said to Feng Zixi: "Then you perform once according to your own performance style and see if you can meet the requirements." I want the kind of uninhibited and debauched, with a little arrogance in it. ”
Holding a cigarette, she squinted at Jin Ha Na, her nose twitched, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she looked as much as she owed it, Jin Ha Na couldn't help but slap her palm on Feng Zixi's head, and said angrily: "I praised you just now for being a good boy, so you are so bad." ”
Jin Qingshang nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, that's it." You see, even Hana Xi can't look at it well, and this feeling is right. ”
"Zi Xixi's ability is really strong, not only can act, but also plays very attentively. Look at his transformation from a successful and handsome playground master in [Red Bean Girl's Love] to the current idle high school student gangster, I really can't accept it, I am at a loss, but he plays it in a clear manner. An FD beside Kim Kyung-sang clasped his hands and sighed.
"I'm afraid this is the strength of USC's top students!" Jin Qingshang looked at Feng Zixi, who was playing with Jin Ha Na, and said, "When I watched his experimental films, there were several very good. Although it can't be taken out for public screening, it is still very valuable as a model for learning. I also watched his film at the beginning, so I decided to use him, otherwise I wouldn't want to take this risk. ”
FD laughed, "It seems that you are on the right side of the adventure this time. ”
"I hope so, too." Jin Qingshang whispered to the FD beside him: "And the news you know, don't make a break for the time being, no one is allowed to reveal it, everything will wait for Zixi Xi to come back from the United States, and the scene here will be finished with Ha Na's filming for the time being." ”
"I know, things have to wait for the finalization, I'm afraid our film will also be impacted, CJ and TCE are ready, temporarily join forces to block sources and prepare to make a big splash, all of this is waiting for Zixi to come back from the audition in the United States." FD looked enviously at Feng Zixi, who integrated Kim Ha Na in the play, because he knew that the moment Feng Zixi returned from the United States, his identity and value would change dramatically, and he would not worry about finding him with good scripts and contracts in the future.
