Song Qixian emerged from the orphanage, and his initial wish was simply to have a place to live, to eat his fill, and stay warm.
Later, he debuted as a member of a boy band, witnessed a vast ...
28 "Family Fun" aired
That day, Song Qixian received good news while brushing his teeth.
"Family Fun" will be aired this weekend!
Song Qixian is looking forward to it, wondering if he will make an appearance.
After finishing the last scene in the library, Song Qixian went to shoot for two more days. He had very few scenes, and Yoon Minwoo often appeared as a background board in the daily life of the protagonist Eunmi.
Sometimes he'd stand on the stage, speaking as a student representative, while Eun-mi, chattering away, chattered with her classmates. Sometimes he'd sit not far from Eun-mi in the cafeteria, watching her and her friends laugh heartily, drawing the attention of many classmates. Sometimes he'd appear on Eun-mi's way home from school, watching her fearfully stand off against a dog to protect her friend.
In short, he always appears around Eun-mi, but Eun-mi never notices him.
During the filming, Song Qixian took the opportunity to watch the heroine Sun Enya and other people's rival scenes. The more he watched, the more he felt that acting is really a mysterious thing.
Like Son Eun-ah herself, she is a very famous child star in South Korea. She was cute and lovely when she was a child, and she became even more beautiful when she grew up. She has a recognizable face and is beautiful.
Such a youthful and energetic girl has to play the role of an ordinary-looking and carefree girl.
The director cut her hair short and deliberately painted her face dark, making Son Eun-ah look less beautiful. But she had been attending awards ceremonies since she was a child, and she had a star-like aura that no amount of makeup could change.
Then Song Qixian witnessed a divine transformation. Offscreen, Son Eun-ah was polite and courteous, still the beautiful child star who had been seen on every set since childhood. Inside, she transformed into the unfussy Kim Eun-mi.
Song Qixian observed carefully and found that Kim Eun-mi and Son Eun-ya were completely different people from the inside out.
Kim Eun-mi's posture, walking style and daily habits all reveal that this girl doesn't care about her image at all. She is just an ordinary girl in daily life.
She walks with a slight hunchback, likes to lean on her friends when standing, always grins and laughs during daily chats, likes to sit with her legs spread out, and runs with her limbs flying.
Song Qixian once saw Kim Eun-mi reach the chocolate sauce on the tip of her nose with her tongue!
Song Qixian felt a sincere admiration and deeply felt the professionalism of a good actor. He was still far from being that good.
Sun Enya’s character creation is admirable, and her acting is even more impressive.
Song Qixian had seen her joking enthusiastically with her friends, had seen her breaking down after an argument with her neighbor and ambiguous partner, had seen her comforting her parents attentively, and had also seen her kicking her younger brother.
People are multifaceted, and excellent actors can show every side of their characters to the audience. Song Qixian hopes that he can also develop in this direction as an actor.
In his free time, Song Qixian once asked the director if he could come watch them filming so he could learn from his senior. He remembered that Director Kong happily agreed and told him to ask him if he had any questions.
Most of the time, Song Qixian did not disturb Director Kong, but occasionally when all the staff were taking a break, he would go over and ask one or two questions.
One day he went to ask a question that was deep in his heart.
He asked: "How can an actor play a role that the audience likes?"
This question involves too broad a scope. Kong Zhimin can give a universal answer, such as truly experiencing and feeling it, empathizing with the character, etc.
But Kong Zhimin really wanted to teach Song Qixian something. He had a deeper understanding of this child these days.
Song Qixian often came to the filming site, arriving at different times each day, rain or shine, rarely absent. Sometimes he would get too hot and turn around to see Song Qixian, sweating profusely, but still staying on set without a single complaint.
Kong Zhimin's love for Song Qixian grew day by day as he was a hardworking child. Therefore, he did not want Song Qixian to fall into the wrong path.
So he asked in return: "Why do actors have to play a role that people like?"
Kong Zhimin gave an example, the role of Song Qixian's younger brother Jin Enyu, who had once auditioned.
Now Kim Eun-woo is played by Byeon Ye-wook, the child star that Song Qixian met on the day of the audition.
Kong Zhimin said to him, "My script defines this character as cowardly and mean. To his sister, Jin Enmei, he's a sticky candy that can't be removed. So his underlying character is an annoying guy. Does he need to be loved by the audience? No, he doesn't. In my script, he is the most annoying guy. If Yixu plays a cute character, it will deviate from the main point."
Song Qixian seemed to be thinking about something. What the director meant was that every character in the work must serve the plot, not just the audience.
What Kong Zhimin didn't say out loud was: it's popular to have villains as protagonists, but he feels that the biggest problem with this is that the villain's truth, kindness and beauty are fully captured, making the audience fall in love with him and thus ignore the villain's evil.
In Kong Zhimin's view, a character's original purpose must never be compromised by the amount of screen time it receives. Pure evil should be allowed to appear, even though such roles are difficult to play and may lead to online bullying.
Late at night, Song Qixian recalled the director's words from the day before, and he realized that he had put himself in the protagonist's shoes. He habitually thought about pleasing the audience, but in fact, being liked by the audience was not the most important thing. He should have pondered the connotation of the character.
Suddenly, his face turned red, and he thought of the time when he auditioned for the role of Kim Eun-woo.
It seems to have a bit of a cool element to it.
In the darkness, Song Qixian covered his head and fell into regret. It was over. He only wanted to play a cute and funny Kim Eun-woo at that time, and he didn't expect that Kim Eun-woo didn't actually need to be cute.
The director even pointed it out. Is this considered a face-to-face public execution?

"Family Fun" is produced by the Korean cable TV station TVN and tells the story of the Kim family. Soon, the show will be aired.
Song Qixian originally just wanted to watch it secretly by himself, not wanting to show it off to others. However, his teammates somehow found out that the TV series he was starring in was about to be broadcast, so they insisted on watching it together.
Song Qixian's idea was ruined, but he was a little happy. He regarded this as sharing happiness.
It turns out this is what it feels like to share happiness with friends.
Five people gathered around a mobile phone, not feeling crowded. Park Yoo Eun asked curiously: "Qixian, when will you appear?"
Song Qixian shook his head. He didn't know either. As a minor supporting actor, he was embarrassed to bother Director Kong with such questions.
Shen Minghe had other questions. He asked curiously, "Is Sun Enya pretty?"
Teenage boys are very curious about the opposite sex. No matter how young Shen Minghe looks, he is at the stage where he is most curious about the opposite sex.
Song Qixian nodded and said, "She is very beautiful and gentle, and she is very nice to the extras."
After thinking for a moment, he added emphatically, "But what I admire most is her dedication to her work. In our drama, she's the absolute star and has a very heavy role, so I often see her filming all day long without even a break."
No one cared about such details. Everyone asked Song Qixian other questions. Finally, it was the team leader Ming Shangyu who spoke up and told them to finish watching it first.
So we gathered together and watched episodes 1 and 2 of "Family Fun" together.
The first episode begins from Kim Eun-mi's perspective.
Eun-mi, holding her test paper with a score of 59, hesitated at the doorway, afraid to go in. Ever since Mother Jin attended the parent-teacher conference a year ago, she'd ordered her eldest daughter to bring her test papers home after every exam. But Eun-mi, while content with eating, drinking, and having fun, had no talent for studying.
As if she remembered Mother Jin's furious look, Eun-mi shuddered with fear and wanted to destroy the body.
Qinghuan, the son of the neighbor Park family, saw a sneaky figure and knew that Jin Enmei was doing something bad again. He was in no hurry to leave. Seeing the test paper being thrown into the trash can at the entrance of the alley, Qinghuan shouted Enmei's name.
"Hey, Kim Eun-mi, what are you doing?"
Mother Jin was cleaning the house at home. When she heard the sound outside the door, she knew that her eldest daughter had returned home.
"Eunmi? What are you doing standing outside? Come back and help me cook."
Kim Eun-mi turned around viciously and made a gesture of gouging out Qinghuan's eyes. Qinghuan was not afraid at all and smiled in a filthy way.
Kim Eun-mi ultimately escaped a beating from her mother, but screams were heard throughout the Kim household that evening. Her younger brother, Kim Eun-woo, had gotten in trouble again at school, so the four of them, along with Kim Eun-mi, her father, her mother, and her grandmother, harshly criticized him. True to her principle of "no spanking, no success," her mother spanked her son hard.
The next day, Eun-mi ignored Cheong-hwan and went to school with the daughter of another neighbor, the Shin family. Shin Hye-young told her little sister some gossip in a mysterious way.
Shin Hye-young has an older brother, Shin Joon-young, who is a top student. He is tall and handsome, but aloof. He is currently studying at a university in Seoul.
"My brother came back from school yesterday, and guess what my mom found on his phone?"
Shin Hye-young's mysterious tone aroused Eun-mi's curiosity, and she couldn't help but urge her best friend to speak quickly.
Shin Hye-young smiled broadly, looked around, and whispered, "My brother, he's secretly in love with someone."
Eun-mi has a little crush on her older brother Shin Joon-young, and she felt a little disappointed when she heard this, but she couldn't resist her curiosity, so she coaxed Shin Hye-young to tell her the whole story.
It turns out that Shin Jun-young has been in contact with a mysterious person on his phone...
After one episode, the character played by Song Qixian did not appear, so everyone continued to watch the second episode.
Finally, at 48 minutes into the second episode, Yoon Min-woo appeared.
It was in the school's auditorium, where Yoon Min-woo appeared on the podium as a student representative and was given a shot.
The boy wearing black-framed glasses has a gentle temperament, delicate looks, and a kind of academically handsomeness.
【Author’s words】
This drama is being filmed and broadcast at the same time. Four episodes have been filmed first, so Yoon Min-woo's character has not appeared yet.
