Chapter 111: Better than Your Own Son; The intention of choosing the script
After returning to the villa, Zhang Chengyuan and Cheng Youli began to prepare dinner, tonight Zhang, Cheng, and Zheng gathered together for the first time for Chinese New Year's Eve and had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, so the dinner naturally could not be neglected, in addition to asking each restaurant under his name to send some exquisite food with their own characteristics, they also felt that they should make some meals by themselves, even if the taste was certainly not as good as what the restaurant chef did, but it also represented their hearts.
But since it was just an expression of their heart, and the taste was not great, then they didn't need to make more, and they made a total of seven dishes, because the number "seven" represents perfection in Protestantism. In addition, seven dishes seem to be a lot, but tonight Zhang, Cheng, and Zheng, if you don't count baby Hengren, there are thirteen men, women and children who eat together, and there are naturally not many seven dishes.
When these dishes were just finished not long ago, Zhang Chengyuan's father Zhang Donghu arrived at the villa first, although he did not live in the villa, but how to say that he was also Zhang Chengyuan's son, so he was also the master, so according to etiquette, he had to be one step ahead of the other two families. In addition, he misses his baby grandson a lot, although he will come here to visit every two or three days, but he still misses it tightly, so after entering the living room, he only said hello to Cheng Youli, Xiao Jing and others, and immediately hugged the baby and teased it.
In this regard, Xiao Jing was slightly unhappy, and leaned over to Zhang Chengyuan's side and whispered: "Brother, in the past, Donghu's father loved me the most except for Sister Youli, but after having Xiao Hengren, he didn't love me as much as before, although this is a matter of course, but my heart is still a little sour." Brother. You're not going to do the same, are you? In fact, she is more concerned about whether Zhang Chengyuan's attitude towards her has changed.
Zhang Chengyuan touched her head. smiled and comforted: "Of course not." Crystal, you're my most painful sister, how can Hengren's kid compare? ”
"Brother, you just want to comfort me, you don't need to deliberately belittle Hengren, right? He is the flesh and blood of you and Cheng Youli, and the crystallization of love, I don't believe that you don't love him. After listening to Zhang Chengyuan's words, Xiao Jing was not only not moved, but felt that his words were too fake.
Zhang Chengyuan said: "Of course I hurt him too." But in my heart, he really can't compare with you, if it's a daughter, maybe he can. "He actually prefers girls.
"It turns out that you are a patriarch, it's really an old stubborn thought, uh no, I'm mistaken, patriarchy is the old idea, but brother, everyone else is patriarchal. How can you be a woman over a man? ”
"It's normal, fathers usually prefer their daughters. Even in ancient times when sons were favored, there were many fathers who would prefer their daughters, let alone today. But even if it's a daughter, it's at most comparable to you. ”
"Why? Doesn't everyone love their children more, even more than they love their parents? It seems to be human nature. Little Crystal was puzzled.
Zhang Chengyuan said: "Maybe the nature of most people is true, but it is not my nature, I pay more attention to the spiritual emotional relationship than the physical blood relationship." And the relationship between parents and children is really not easy to say, hard work to raise their children, but raising a white-eyed wolf, there are many things in this world, so why should I love my children more and pay more attention to blood relations? ”
Xiao Jing shook his head and said, "Brother, your thinking is too extreme. ”
Zhang Chengyuan smiled faintly: "Maybe it's a little extreme, but that's what I think at the moment." In my opinion, my brother-sister relationship with you is much more real than the father-son relationship between me and Hyungin, at least you will never turn your back on me, but Hyungin may not. It is important to know that in the chaebol family, it is not uncommon for fathers and sons to turn against each other. ”
"Brother, the more you talk, the more alarmist you become! As long as you love Hengen well and work hard to teach him to be successful, how can he turn his back on you? Little Crystal said with a solemn face.
Zhang Chengyuan touched her head and said with a smile: "Crystal, I'm just talking, you don't need to take it seriously, only a father who has no ability in this world, or a father who is old and frail and has no money to spare, will be deceived and abandoned by an unfilial son, but how could I, Zhang Chengyuan, encounter such a thing?" Besides, with my ability, how can I not teach my own children? ”
Xiao Jing said: "Brother, no matter what, you don't say anything about a white-eyed wolf and a son turning his back on his father in the future, it sounds chilling." ”
"Well, let's not talk about it." Jang Sung-won touched her head again.
Xiao Jing continued: "But you said that you will love me more than your daughter, I am very happy, brother, in the future, I will love you more than my own son." ”
"You say 'love' me?"
"Oh, the wrong word." Xiao Jing hurriedly corrected, "Brother, I mean, I love you more than my son, well, I mean the future." ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "I'm very happy for you to say that, but I don't expect you to love me so much, as long as you still like my brother after you get married in the future." ”
"Of course, I'm going to marry you in the future, so naturally I'll always like you." To be exact, it is a fake marriage with Zhang Chengyuan's doppelganger, but in Xiao Jing's opinion, this is also marrying Zhang Chengyuan.
"Why do you say that again?" Zhang Chengyuan frowned, and immediately changed the topic: "Crystal, you call and ask your parents to see if they have set off?" If not, rush them and say that we have prepared dinner, and tell them not to prepare anything, as long as people come. ”
"Okay, I'll call them now." As he spoke, he immediately took out his mobile phone and started calling.
Then, Zhang Chengyuan turned his head to take a look and found that Zhang Donghu was holding the baby and chatting with Cheng Youli, while Zheng Xiuyan just listened quietly, and occasionally interjected a few words, and beckoned her over.
"Brother, what did you call me for?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to make a few small talks with you, you recently took over a TV series, didn't you?"
"Hmm."
"What character?"
"The actor's ex-girlfriend, there are not many scenes, but they are not few."
Zhang Chengyuan said: "This is your first time filming a TV series, and it is normal that there are not many roles." But why did you suddenly become interested in acting? ”
"Can't I be interested? Which Korean artist doesn't want to film? Even if you don't want to be an actor as your main career. But it's good to have a good time with drama. ”
"Then you want to be an actor part-time. Or are you just thinking about having a good time? ”
"It's hard to say, although I just want to experience the fun of filming for the time being, but I may want to be a good actor in the future."
Zhang Chengyuan sighed slightly and said: "If you still want to act in the future, just tell me, I'll help you pick the script, the "Violent Romance" you are taking now is really bad, and 6 episodes have been broadcast." The ratings are only about 6%, even if the ratings of TV dramas have generally dropped a lot due to being divided by new TV stations, but the ratings of 6% are too low after all, which will affect your popularity and future career as an actor. ”
With the launch of the four comprehensive TV stations at the end of last year, Korean TV viewers have a lot of excellent TV dramas to watch, which inevitably thins the TV drama ratings share of the three major wireless TV stations KBS, MBC, and SBS, and the ratings of the director zhì have generally dropped a lot.
Of course, if it is really a very good TV series, it is still possible to get very high ratings. For example, the MBC TV series "The Moon Embracing the Sun", which was just broadcast at the beginning of the year, has only aired a few episodes, and the ratings have reached nearly 30%. And. It was this TV series that crushed "Violent Romance" without resistance.
Zheng Xiuyan said disapprerovingly: "My current focus is still on music for the time being, and acting is only occasional, so it doesn't matter whether the actor's career is affected or not." And I think the drama "Violent Romance" is still quite good, you can't judge the quality of a TV series by its ratings alone. ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "Although it is true that you can't evaluate a TV series purely by its ratings, wouldn't it be better if you could take into account the ratings while making a high-quality TV series?" ”
"This kind of thing is estimated to be something you can do in the whole of South Korea, but I can't do it."
"That's why I just said that I'll pick the script for you in the future, so that you don't have to receive any more low-rated TV series. Fortunately, you are not playing the heroine or the second female lead this time, otherwise part of the blame for the low ratings will definitely be blamed on you, then you will be blamed by many audiences. ”
"Okay, okay, I'll do what you say in the future, brother, you are really nagging sometimes. But, brother, if you want to help me pick the script, is there any other reason, or is there any special purpose? Otherwise, you are so busy, how can you choose a script for me? ”
"You understand me quite well, okay, I'll tell you the truth, I heard that you have a few intimate scenes in this drama, and I feel unhappy, and I'm afraid that you will take on this kind of role again in the future, so I figured out guò to help you choose the script and role to avoid this happening again.
In addition, I have asked your sister Jisoo to tell the director and screenwriter of this drama to delete or modify your intimate scenes, even if individual kiss scenes have to be filmed, they can only be filmed in a borrowed position or touched lightly. ”
Zheng Xiuyan was speechless and said, "Brother, you are really becoming more and more authoritarian, and you are afraid of the soft and the hard, why don't you do this to Sister Xiaoli and Sister Taixi?" ”
"Sister Xiaoli doesn't film, why should I restrict her? As for Sister Taixi, she has her own sense of proportion and will not ...... Well, I admit that I bullied the weak and feared the hard, so what? No matter what, you have to comply with my request, otherwise I won't let you receive a play in the future. ”
"If you can't catch it, you can't catch it, anyway, after I filmed this drama, I don't want to take on any more dramas for the time being." Zheng Xiuyan shouted a little angrily.
"That's better, you can focus on singing in the future, oh yes, and your hobby - designing clothes, decorations, etc., but don't put too much energy into your hobby, unless you really want to change careers to become a fashion designer in the future."
"I really have this kind of plan, after all, I can't be an artist for the rest of my life, it's too boring, so while I'm young, I have to cultivate some talents in other majors and plan my future path."
"You have a good idea, but is it necessary to plan for the future? If you want to do something in the future, join my company to help me, or I will directly invest in a company for you. ”
"I don't want to be a rice worm and let you raise me for a lifetime, or live a life according to your arrangement, why do you have to break through on your own, of course, I will still ask you for help when necessary." (To be continued......)
