88 The Man Who Grew Up in the Attic
After making a guest appearance in "Korean Wave Superstar", Song Qixian did not want to take a break, but actively selected new scripts.
This way, he actually found a good script.
"The Man Who Grows in the Attic", just by hearing the name you know that this drama is not simple, and the content of the script is indeed so.
Yin Canhai and Yin Canyang are identical twin brothers. When they were seven, they witnessed their father dragging their mother to the attic and beating her to death. Later, their father was sent to prison, and they were adopted by their aunt.
Nineteen-year-old Yin Canhai and Yin Canyang are students in different departments at the same university. Yin Canhai, the older brother, has a gloomy personality but excels academically, and is studying in the psychology department. Yin Canyang, the younger brother, is cheerful and lively, and is studying in the physical education department.
Besides his gloomy personality, Yin Canhai had few friends at school. A popular saying in the psychology department: "Those who study psychology often have some mental health issues." This phrase perfectly describes Yin Canhai.
Yin Canhai, with his bangs constantly covering his eyes, always had a gloomy look. The girls in his class didn't dare walk past him because he always looked at everyone he passed with ill intent. That look wasn't the way a man looks at a woman, but rather the look of a child who finds a bug and wants to dismember it.
No one dared to approach him except his younger brother Yin Canyang.
Yin Canyang, as his name suggests, is as bright and sunny as a little sun. Unlike his brother Yin Canhai, he is very popular and has many friends. To help his brother meet more people and feel less isolated, he often likes to bring his friends along to eat with Canhai.
One day, Yin Canyang anxiously found his brother and begged him to substitute for him in the class, and Yin Canhai agreed.
The story begins here, Yin Canhai discovers Yin Canyang's secret.
After a quick glance at the plot, Song Qixian knew there would be a twist. The seemingly gloomy and psychologically challenged older brother, Chan Hai, was likely a good person. The seemingly lively and positive younger brother, Chan Hai, was likely a dark and evil person.
But after watching the rest of the story, Song Qixian realized that he had taken it for granted. There was indeed a reversal, but it was not the kind of reversal he had imagined.
After watching the first few episodes, Song Qixian was very interested, so he went for the audition. With his excellent performance and friendly and cordial conversation with the director and screenwriter, he successfully won the two roles.
From this he got a more detailed script.
That night, he pondered the role before going to sleep.
Song Qixian had seen people like Yin Canhai in an orphanage.
Children like these, who suffered trauma in their childhood, become increasingly withdrawn after entering an orphanage. The aunts and sisters who take care of these children in the orphanage will pay special attention to these children, fearing that they will commit suicide when no one is paying attention.
As the most worry-free and obedient child, Song Qixian has been reminded more than once by the director's mother to take better care of children like him.
Because of this, Song Qixian had contact with them.
It's not so much that they're insensitive to the outside world as it is that they're immersed in their own world. Just like the script, these children look at people like children seeing something interesting.
Song Qixian didn't like them, and always felt that he would become weird if he stayed with them for too long. But occasionally, he would be curious about what they were thinking.
Until one day, he saw the man kick the begging kitten into the water. If he hadn't acted quickly, the kitten would have drowned.
Now, if Song Qixian were to play such a role, what would he think if he were Yin Canhai?
Song Qixian fell into a deep sleep, and was startled the next morning by a head that was very close to him.
"! What are you doing! You almost scared me to death!"
The owner of this face was Park Yoo-eun. At this moment, he stepped back and looked at Song Qixian with an indescribable look.
"Don't you remember what you said in your sleep last night?"
Song Qixian was puzzled. "What did I say?"
"You screamed in your dream, 'Don't kill me, don't kill me.'"
Song Qixian was startled: "No way, why would I talk like this in my sleep?"
Park Yoo Eun asked curiously, "Did you dream last night that someone was chasing you? Who was that person?"
Song Qi touched his head and recalled: "I seem to have turned into a cat..."
"cat?"
Song Qixian thought of what he had been thinking about before going to bed, shook his head and said, "Maybe it's because I was thinking about the characters last night."
Park Yoo-eun didn't ask any more questions.
After breakfast, in order to change his mood, Song Qixian began to think about another protagonist - Yin Canyang.
Yin Canyang is a sunny and clear character. He is enthusiastic and handsome, and always likes to face his friends with a smile. It is hard to imagine that he and Yin Canhai are twin brothers.
But the question is, is Yin Canyang really so capable of eliminating the impact of his childhood events?
It’s no wonder that Song Qixian thought too much. Yin Canhai and Yin Canyang are set to be close brothers. The elder brother Yin Canhai is sick, so why is the younger brother Yin Canyang a normal person?
It depends on whether Yin Canyang is hiding more or less than Yin Canhai.

Screenplay workshop.
The story that "The Man Growing Up in the Attic" wants to tell is very simple. It revolves around the secrets of twins who have suffered mental trauma as adults, and expresses to the audience how profound the impact of domestic violence on children is.
The story is a bit suspenseful, but overall it is a reflection on human nature.
As the absolute protagonist, Song Qixian shoulders a heavy responsibility. He is the first to raise his own doubts: "How did Yin Canhai discover Yin Canyang's secret? Did Yin Canyang reveal this secret on his own initiative?"
Screenwriter: “Yes.”
Song Qixian: "Although it's not written in the script, I want to ask if Yin Canhai's feelings for Yin Canyang can be summarized in three words? They are: jealousy, envy, and deep love. Among these, deep love prevails."
Screenwriter: "No, it should be jealousy that prevails."
Song Qixian seemed to understand something and wrote something in his notebook.
Song Qixian: "So Yin Canyang, is his feeling for his brother just one-sided love? I wonder if he also has a subtle pity for his brother. Otherwise, he wouldn't always bring his friends to see his brother. He says he wants his brother to meet more people, but in fact, he is also indirectly showing his friends how good he is to his brother."
Screenwriter: "I hadn't thought of that. You gave me a new idea."
Song Qixian roughly summarized the personalities of the two characters.
Yoon Chan-hae: A gloomy, eccentric older brother with a socially awkward personality. He struggles with childhood trauma and, as a result, everyone assumes he harbors dark thoughts. He loves his younger brother, but at the same time, he harbors a deep sense of jealousy for his younger brother, who was always loved by his parents. So, when he discovers his younger brother is hiding a secret, one that no one else can know, he's thrilled and delighted. Ah, so you're like this? So you, too, secretly harbor a despicable side of yourself.
Yin Canyang: He has a sunny and bright appearance, a stark contrast to his brother. He has many friends, never cares about gains and losses, and is a perfect man to his friends and teachers. But such a personality is clearly not what a family like the Yin family would raise a child with.
Yin Canyang's appearance and personality are exactly the same as his father who is in prison. But the difference is that he hides his true identity more deeply than his father.
He observed and imitated what people liked, pretending to be a good person with perfect morals, but in fact, he also hated people like his brother. In essence, he didn't trust anyone.
He felt some condescending pity for his brother. Without me, you would have no friends at all, so you have been the abandoned one since you were a child.
In short, in short, Yin Canhai is a bad person from the inside out. Yin Canyang is a hypocritical and not-so-good person.
Neither of these twin brothers is a good person.
The director said, "This story comes from a friend of mine. His father murdered his mother, and for decades he lived in depression and pain. He became suspicious of all intimate relationships, and as a result, his wife and children left him. I told the screenwriter the general idea of this story, and the screenwriter used it as inspiration to create "The Man Who Grows in the Attic."
"Xiao Song, this story itself isn't complicated. The difficulty lies in how to interpret two complex characters. If you succeed, the story will be halfway successful. So, I might be very strict with you during filming. After all, you are the most important part of the filming process of this drama."
Song Qixian nodded, "I understand, Director, I hope you can give me more guidance."

Before filming began, Song Qixian took photos for promotional posters.
In one photo, Yin Canhai has thick bangs on his forehead, his eyes downcast, and a gloomy aura. He holds a key in his hand, symbolizing that he will eventually unlock the cage of his heart.
In this photo, Yin Canyang is looking upwards with a smile on his lips, but this shooting angle makes him look more complicated than his appearance.
A photo of an older brother and a younger brother. Song Qixian took a back-to-back photo with a stand-in who is similar in height and build to himself. Technology will be used later to make the older brother and the younger brother appear in the same picture.

After more than a year of study, Song Qixian can already understand simple Chinese and English, and also knows some Japanese.
What is the biggest challenge in playing twins in the new drama?
Song Qixian: "The most difficult thing is probably that compared to before, we have to shoot twice as many scenes every day because there are two of us. So the pressure is even greater. But it doesn't matter, I think I adapted quickly."
[Unintelligible answer: Which of your older brother or younger brother do you like?]
Song Qixian: "In terms of character design, I don't like either of them. Comparatively speaking, the younger brother is better. But as an actor, I think the older brother brings me great challenges."
[Are there any romantic scenes this time? When will you give your first on-screen kiss?]
Song Qixian: "Hey, are you all concerned about this? There will definitely be romance scenes, but as for whether there will be kissing scenes, I have to keep it a secret. I can promise everyone that whether it's a kissing scene or other scenes, everything will flow naturally."
【Recommend some reasons to watch this drama. 】
Song Qixian: "These two roles are the most difficult I've ever played in my acting career. The characters are very complex, so I really like them.
