Chapter 47: The New Drama Press Conference

That night, Zhang Chengyuan sent the little crystal who had a good time home. Although the two didn't play anything particularly fun, Xiao Jing was very happy as long as she was accompanied by Zhang Chengyuan, because her parents and sister were usually very busy, and she basically couldn't find anyone to play with her, and Zhang Chengyuan was handsome and tall, and loved to spoil her, better than her parents treated her, like a knight who guards the princess in a Western fairy tale.

When parting, Xiao Jing hugged Zhang Chengyuan and did not let go, after Zhang Chengyuan promised that he would often pick her up to play in the future, he was reluctantly dragged away by her mother, and after returning to her bedroom, her ass was also hit a few times by her sister Zheng Xiuyan's "dragon claw hand", because Xiao Jing's crying just now woke up Zheng Xiuyan who had just fallen asleep.

Early the next morning, Zhang Chengyuan rushed to the crew and devoted himself to the filming of the busy TV series, and soon made up for the scenes owed by yesterday's leave. After a period of time, the crew moved to a certain town under Wonju City, Gangwon Province to film, it was very inconvenient to go back and forth to Seoul, and the filming schedule became more and more intense, so Zhang Chengyuan couldn't find time to visit Xiao Jing at all, so he felt very sorry, and almost every day he would take a little time to apologize to Xiao Jing Dao and chat with her. Xiao Jing is also more sensible, she didn't blame him in the slightest, and often asked him to take care of his body, so that he could listen to it warmly. When the two of them chatted on the phone, Ha Ji Won often came over to join in the fun, accompanying Zhang Chengyuan to chat with Xiao Jing. Gradually, Ha Ji Won and Xiao Jing became more and more familiar and intimate!

In the blink of an eye, it is May. On this day, after spending more than a month in the countryside, Jang Sung-won finally returned to Seoul again, and he came back with the main creative staff of the crew and several other main actors. Because the TV series will be broadcast on TV in a few days, they are coming back to hold a new drama press conference.

The purpose of the crew to hold the press conference is naturally to promote the new drama through media reporters, attract the attention of the audience and arouse their interest, so as to increase the ratings of the premiere. And actors can also take this opportunity to increase their exposure and slightly increase their popularity.

At 2:30 p.m. on May 9, in a certain hall of KBS TV in Yeouido, the press conference of the new drama "Wonderful Life" officially began. The reason why the press conference is not held in some high-end hotels like the crews of other TV dramas is because this crew is really too poor, and the original investment is not much.

This is the first time Zhang Chengyuan has participated in the press conference of a new drama, although he has participated in dozens of various dramas, but he has played small roles, and he is not qualified to appear at the press conference at all. Because this press conference was his first experience, he felt a little novel at first, and he thought it was very interesting to watch the reporters in the audience and their cameras and cameras keep shooting.

But after less than half an hour, he was bored, because no one paid any attention to him except for posing for reporters to take pictures when he first came on stage. The director, screenwriter and several other actors received a lot of questions from reporters. Although the questions were not very enthusiastic and seemed like a routine matter, at least they were not completely ignored like Mr. Jang did.

Seeing this situation, Park Byungyeol was a little worried that Jang Sung-won would be in a bad mood after being treated coldly and would show an inappropriate look, so he looked at him intently, and saw that he had been smiling from beginning to end, so he put his mind at ease.

Then, Park Byungyeol secretly scolded in his heart: "These bullshit reporters are really blind, don't you see how high the quality of my artists is?" His handsome face, figure, and education have been worth your attention for ten years......"

But it's no wonder that reporters are like this, who is called Zhang Chengyuan is almost unknown in the entertainment industry now, at least these new reporters present don't recognize him at all. Yes, the vast majority of the reporters in the audience are rookies who have just entered the industry, because most of the old birds think that this TV series without the participation of big-name stars or popular actors is not newsworthy, although this drama may be a big hit in the future, at least the current audience will not want to pay attention to it.

If no one will pay attention, there will be no news points; Without a news spot, how could veteran journalists with a keen sense of smell be willing to condescend? It is reasonable for Zhang Chengyuan to be ignored.

Just when Zhang Chengyuan felt that this press conference was going to pass so boringly, suddenly a young reporter asked him: "Zhang, Zhang, oh, Mr. Zhang Chengyuan, it is said that this time you are the first time to play the leading role?" After glancing at the TV series information again, he called out Zhang Chengyuan's name.

Zhang Chengyuan nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"How did you get selected by the crew?"

Zhang Chengyuan said lightly: "I participated in the actor selection interview, and then I was lucky to be favored by the director and screenwriter." ”

"However, as far as I know, this TV series has already selected Mr. Kim Rae-won, a new-generation idol who won the Best Male Newcomer Award at the Blue Dragon Film Festival a few months ago. Is there any particular reason for this? The young reporter seemed to think that he had dug up some unspeakable inside information, and he seemed very excited, and his voice became more and more high-pitched. However, I have to admit that his tongue is very flexible, and these words were said in one breath, with almost no pause in between.

Zhang Chengyuan looked at him deeply and said calmly: "There is still such a thing? I haven't heard of it, and I think you should ask the director about this kind of thing. He turned his head to look respectfully at the director.

The director immediately took over the conversation and said in a sophisticated voice: "Your news is quite well-informed, yes, we did invite Mr. Jin Laiyuan before, and he also participated in the audition for the crew at that time, and there were several newcomers who participated in the male number one audition." After the audition, we thought that Mr. Jang Sung Won and Mr. Kim Rae Won were the most prominent. By the way, Mr. Jang Sung-won's acting skills are very superb and sophisticated, and he is not at all as young as he is. If you really know him, you will never say that his acting skills are jerky. ”

After a little irony of this reckless and eager reporter, the director continued: "There must be a reason for choosing Mr. Zhang Chengyuan as our male number one, but it is not a special reason, it is just that I think he is more suitable for this idol drama than Mr. Kim Laiyuan." It is undeniable that his appearance is so outstanding, I have never seen such a handsome and temperamental young man in reality, and I dare to guarantee that his appearance is absolutely pure and natural, born and bred.

I think that after this drama is broadcast, whether it can get good results or not, the appearance of our male number one will definitely become a topic of conversation among young girls. Moreover, because of the limited investment in this drama, and Mr. Zhang Chengyuan is still a newcomer and has very low salary requirements, which is more in line with our financial budget, so we chose him. ”

In order to deal with the nonsense of reporters, the director kept putting a high hat on Jang Sung-won, which made Jang Sung-won feel very ashamed after hearing it, although he himself thought that his appearance and temperament were indeed good, but he didn't think that he could stand out and overshadow all other young actors in South Korea.

The reporter was immediately a little disappointed: "So, the director, you chose him just because he was cheap and good?" This reporter really can't spit out ivory in his mouth, and he compares Zhang Chengyuan to a commodity, but he can't say that he is wrong.

When selecting actors, the issue of price is indeed very important, and the reason why many newcomers can get on the top is usually because the price is relatively low. For example, in this TV series, if it weren't for the low investment, if it weren't for the salary proposed by Jang Sung-won's agent Park Byung-yeol was lower than that of the second and third men, and if it weren't for Kim Rae-won's audience appeal at this time not much higher than that of Jang Sung-won, it would have been absolutely impossible for Jang Sung-won to defeat Kim Rae-won, who was more famous than him.
