93 Preparing for the end of the year (including flattery)
Song Qixian was very sure that he was a good person.
So when the director and screenwriter came together to persuade him to shoot more scenes of Yin Mingri, he firmly refused.
The reason is simple: the focus of this drama should be on the twins' roles, and Yin Mingri's role can only be a brief transition and blank space.
Although there is a sense of violent pleasure in playing a villain, Song Qixian has not forgotten his main goal.
Song Qixian's persistence finally convinced the director, but the screenwriter still wanted to try harder.
"Xiao Song, let me analyze this for you. While it's true that Canhai and Canyang are the protagonists, you have to admit that Yin Mingri's role is very important, right?"
Song Qixian nodded. Of course it was important. He was the source of all the problems.
"I don't want you to film Yin Mingri's life from beginning to end. You should at least explain a few important turning points, right? If you leave too much blank, the audience won't understand how terrifying Yin Mingri is."
Song Qixian was somewhat convinced. He said a little aggrievedly, "But you can't film multiple domestic violence scenes! Not only do you want me to beat my wife, you also want me to beat my child. I can't do it."
The screenwriter breathed a sigh of relief. It was a good thing Qixian had given in. The production team had already been quite at fault, first asking him to play an extra role, then constantly adding to it. It was only natural for a young man, just coming of age, to be reluctant about such a role.
"Don't worry, we'll just weave these scenes into the plot. Don't worry, we'll carefully consider Yin Mingri's role."
Song Qixian finally "gave in". As an actor, he could not change what the director and screenwriter decided. He could only use his young age and ignorance as an excuse to act arrogant and let them know that he also had his own ideas.
After briefly finishing this scene, the two young actors finished filming.
Now it was Song Qixian's turn to hide from them, because after filming the fight scene, the two children started crying when they saw him.
Even though it was Yin Mingri who hit the children, and even though the two children weren't actually beaten, Song Qixian still felt guilty and secretly gave them a lot of toys.
"Feeling better?"
The person speaking is Zhao Minhao, who is also 19 years old and plays the childhood friend of Yin Canhai and Yin Canyang in the play.
There was only one person of the same age in the huge crew, and Song Qixian became a friend with whom he could talk for a few words.
Zhao Minhao has been in the crew since he was a child. Compared with his peers, he is much more mature, so he happened to become friends with Song Qixian, who is of the same mental age and more mature.
He was very attentive and naturally noticed Song Qixian's complex and conflicting emotions when he saw off the two children.
With a slightly teasing tone, Zhao Minhao said, "People who don't know might think you've done something to hurt them. Qixian, Qixian, do you think that by doing this, their mother will think you're easy to talk to?"
Of course Song Qixian understood what Zhao Minhao meant. He was implying that the mothers of the two children might pester him.
Song Qixian said, "I didn't do this for any other reason. Whether it was me or Yin Mingri, we ultimately brought a lot of fear to them. Adults would be afraid of this kind of play, let alone children."
Zhao Minhao laughed: "Their mothers don't think as much as you do. South Korea has child protection laws. A young actor like this might earn more per day than you."
Song Qixian glanced at him and left.
"We are not talking about the same thing."
Of course Zhao Minhao knew that his friend was not really angry. His big star friend had an outrageously good temper.
So he quickly chased after her and said in a gentle voice, "I'm just worried that you'll suffer. Let me tell you, even if they're only five years old and have been in the crew since they were little, you can't underestimate their acting skills."
Song Qixian: "Okay, thank you, thank you, thank you very much for your analysis. Now, I have to prepare for the next scene. Have you memorized your lines?"
Zhao Minhao: "I only have a few lines, I already know them by heart. No, please don't change the subject."
…
After filming for more than ten days in a row, Song Qixian returned to the dormitory and was notified to prepare for the year-end stage before he had even had two days of rest.
Now he felt genuinely tired, and even his bubbles at night seemed to have no energy.
Song Qixian: When I open my eyes in the morning, I think I'll stay in bed for ten more minutes, but before five minutes have passed, my body starts to act on its own. Ah, how can I stop this?
Song Qixian: I went for a massage, and the masseuse told me my muscles were tense. I fell asleep during the massage, and when I woke up, the sky outside had turned dark. It was a beautiful night sky with stars. Suddenly, I thought of you. Although we're not together, we share the same beautiful sky. (Photo)
Song Qixian's condition is simply not good enough in the eyes of Sherlock Holmes' fans. These words seem to be sharing his daily life, but in fact it is more like he is using these words to act coquettishly to them.
Fan: Hey man.
Song Qixian: ??? !! ?
But even though fans may be stubborn, they like their idols to act like a spoiled child to them. If they don't act like a spoiled child to them, then they can only act like a spoiled child to others. For fans who don't support couples, it's a nightmare for idols to act like a spoiled child to anyone other than themselves.
The string of comforts made Song Qixian feel that he had opened the wrong software. He seemed to have no complaints.
He checked his words and finally figured out the key point: his self-proclaimed humorous words were misunderstood by fans.
But since that's the case, I can only make the best of it. It feels good to be cared about by others.
Back to business, preparation for the year-end stage is very, very important.
This time last year, they were still a boy group from a small company called Death, with no chance of performing on major stages. This year, they have been debuting for over a year now, and are affiliated with M Company, one of the Big Four.
So even though the year-end stage has declined in various senses in recent years, all Kaleido members and staff from all levels of the five branches still attach great importance to the end of the year.
After all, new groups should cherish the opportunity to perform on the year-end stage, as this is a huge opportunity for exposure.
In addition to the three major stations' own stages, Kaleido will also participate in the year-end stages such as MAMA, MMA, and AAA. This is a big test for Kaleido who is preparing for the year-end stage for the first time.
Various entertainment media are also actively promoting it, and discussions are gradually rising in major forums at home and abroad.
Among them, the ecstasy of Kaleido fans seems out of place among many fans.
Few people can understand the feelings of Kaleido fans. They feel the same way as if they got an SSR in an ordinary lottery.
Kaleido is no longer the unknown little group in the sixth generation. They are now very famous. Of course, due to the length of their debut, their fame is still limited to second- and third-tier groups.
Their group has the strongest ACE of six generations (Ming Shangyu), the sixth dancer (Zhou Heyu), the face of the group who has a divine face regardless of generation (Park Yuen), and the strongest Ziwei star (Song Qixian).
Compared with other sixth-generation groups, it's a complete defeat.
Although there is some exaggeration in the fans' statements, it has to be said that Kaleido has been very prominent in the mouths of other fans in the past six months.
Judging by their looks alone, all members are 185cm tall, a height that's noteworthy, and their looks are truly stunning. They're a rare group that performs 100% of their performances on stage, and none of their members have been the subject of any negative publicity. There's even one member who's been known to gain popularity outside of the group.
Their most important music performance is also not bad. After their debut, a small hit song "Butterfly" made the producer earn a lot of money. The highest ranking of the main song of their first comeback also entered the inner circle, and it is still hovering in the □□ circle.
Some people with good intentions have already listed Kaleido as the sixth generation of the king to be released.
Kaleido's fans have also decided to make a big move at the end of the year, with events like "Hundreds of Empty Bottles" and "even if they can't win, they'll still strive to be at the top." The original owner is already doing so well, so they can't let him down.
Song Qixian, who was in the midst of frantic practice, had no idea that his fans were already ready for a big battle.
He's incredibly busy right now, with year-end stage rehearsals and filmings abound. Every day, he drives back and forth between several locations, sleeping in the car.
Song Qixian now understands those who want an extra clone, and he also wants a clone to help him share some of the work.
Fortunately, both sides were very understanding and made the most appropriate arrangements for him, so although Song Qixian was tired, he was able to overcome it.
After finishing the last group dance practice, Song Qixian lay on the ground, gasping for breath.
Zhou Heyu took advantage of him not noticing and lifted up his clothes, revealing his perfect abdominal muscles to everyone. The camera shooting the behind-the-scenes footage kindly zoomed in.
If it were any other time, Song Qixian might have hidden away, but now he was in no mood at all. His Adam's apple kept rolling, and his chest and abdominal muscles kept rising and falling.
What a ruined handsome man.
Seeing that Song Qixian was unmoved, Zhou Heyu kicked his foot.
"Hey, get up. You can't lie down after exercising."
Song Qixian closed his eyes, lying on the ground without moving at all, and said tiredly: "I can't get up, I'm so tired."
Zhou Heyu didn't tolerate him, so he asked Park Yuen and Shin Myung-hyuk to lift him up.
The scene suddenly became funny, because Song Qixian's body was like a piece of steel plate, and they lifted it up straight.
Regardless of whether he was doing an effect or acting coquettishly, everyone at the scene laughed, including Ming Shangyu who was still explaining things to the staff not far away.
Shin Myung-hyuk and Park Yoo-eun were no exception. They laughed so hard that they almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Song Qixian saw the situation and helped them up, otherwise there would be news tomorrow: #Kaleido Song Qixian was injured by teammate 80#.
With that smile, everyone felt a little more relaxed. Zhou Heyu teased Song Qixian, "Why, can't you handle it anymore? Who was it that promised him so confidently a few days ago that he could definitely endure it?"
Song Qixian said stubbornly: "I'm not tired, I'm not tired at all, I just want to lie down."
Zhou Heyu said, "Okay, okay, lie down. Go home and lie down."
Facing the camera, Zhou Heyu pointed at Song Qixian and said: "Fans, please don't imitate his behavior. He is a bad role model."
Song Qixian came up to Zhou Heyu and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, you can't imitate me. I apologize to you first and I will definitely change next time."
The camera left, and Zhou Heyu handed Song Qixian a bottle of water. "How's it going? If you really can't hold on, just ask for a day off. We've almost finished rehearsing anyway."
Song Qixian shook his head and said, "It's okay. After this hard time, I can rest."
