Chapter 92: The New Drama Press Conference
That night, Jang Sung-won stayed in Lee Hyori's apartment, and did not wake up with Lee Hyori until more than ten o'clock in the morning, and then recuperated Lee Hyori's body and eliminated the physical fatigue caused by this busy time. After lunch, the two left the apartment one after another, Lee Hyo-ri went to the company to find someone to accompany her to practice the script and prepare for tomorrow's official shooting, while Jang Sung-won went to the KBS TV headquarters to meet with the main creators and leading actors of the crew, preparing to participate in the "Haojie Chunxiang" press conference held here in the afternoon.
At about half past two in the afternoon, the press conference officially began, and a group of main actors came to the stage one by one, posing for the reporters in the audience to take pictures.
Because most of the media thought that the screenwriters of "Haojie Chunxiang" were two inexperienced newcomers, and several of the leading actors were not first-line stars, they were not too optimistic about the future of this drama, so there were not many reporters who came to interview, and most of them were reporters from KBS's own station or media reporters who had a good relationship with KBS.
Today, among the actors, the only ones who can really attract the attention of reporters may be Jang Sung-won and Han Chae-young. Second, Zhang Chengyuan's popularity has been very hot recently, and the public is very interested in his news; And Han Chaeyoung has been highly sought after since she starred in "Blue Life and Death Love", her popularity has been rising, and her future looks very bright, so reporters will never let go of taking pictures and interviewing the two of them.
Soon after starting to ask questions, a reporter asked Zhang Chengyuan: "Mr. Zhang Chengyuan, why do you want to star in this TV series with a small investment and a screenwriter who is a newcomer?" With your popularity, it should be easy to find a role that suits you better? This reporter seems to think too highly of Zhang Chengyuan, and he doesn't know that Zhang Chengyuan has already spent a lot of effort to appear in this small-investment TV series.
Zhang Chengyuan said: "I feel honored to be a member of "Haojie Chunxiang". Although Hong Jingen and Hong Meilan are just newcomers, they must not be looked at from the eyes of newcomers, the scripts they create are fast-paced, clear-minded, sensational, and funny, and the skills of writing and lines are also very old-fashioned, and what is more valuable is that the stories they tell are very fresh, and the style is completely different from most playwrights, unique, I believe they will become famous writers that all actors want to work with in the future. ”
Zhang Chengyuan's big hymn made the reporters look at each other and not believe it at all. A reporter said: "Mr. Zhang Chengyuan, is your praise too much, and it seems that you are suspected of flattering the screenwriter?" "Sometimes the reporter just has no scruples and no bad intentions, as if he wants to provoke the interviewee to get more exciting material, and it would be best if the interviewee could punch the reporter with his fists and kicks.
Zhang Chengyuan was too lazy to compete with reporters, and smiled lightly: "Do you have a reputation, after the TV series is broadcast, you will know the truth." ”
"Mr. Zhang, you haven't answered why you want to take this role? Judging from the previous introduction, Lee Jae-ryong's personality is very lively, and it doesn't seem to be a good fit for you? The reporter from earlier asked again.
Jang Sung-won replied: "I know that you think my previous image was too cold and silent, but this does not become an obstacle, I am a qualified actor, I can play a variety of roles with different faces and different personalities, if you have doubts about this, I don't mind, because now I can't explain your doubts immediately, but I believe that as long as you watch the first episode, you will completely change your opinion of me and my acting skills." ”
"Mr. Jang Sung-won, what do you think of Miss Han Chae-young, who is working with you?"
"Beautiful, kind, strong, optimistic, but a bit like a boy, big grin." Zhang Chengyuan replied fluently.
Han Caiying, who was sitting next to him, listened to his evaluation, and was smiling at first, but after hearing the back, although his face did not change, he secretly stepped on him with high heels, Zhang Chengyuan was shocked and almost screamed, but fortunately, he reacted faster and maintained a gentle smile.
"So Miss Han Chaeyoung, what do you think of Mr. Jang Sung-won?"
Han Chaeyoung said: "Him? It's like a madman. ”
As soon as this sentence was said, the crew's faces did not change and there was a hidden smile, but the reporters suddenly made an uproar, thinking that they had found fierce information.
But I heard Han Caiying continue: "When filming, he was very crazy, he entered the scene very quickly, almost did not NG, and he didn't seem to feel pain and tiredness, once he accidentally sprained his ankle during filming an action scene, which was very swollen, but he insisted on filming for five hours, and when he was asked if he was in pain, he said that he didn't feel pain at all." "When Zhang Chengyuan was too deep in the play, his sensitivity and reflexes decreased a lot, so he was accidentally injured, but only occasionally.
The truth of this matter is that Zhang Chengyuan blocked all the meridians and nerves near his ankles, so he naturally didn't feel pain, but the crew thought that he was too involved in filming, so that he couldn't even feel the pain, and Zhang Chengyuan didn't bother to explain this "beautiful" misunderstanding, and he didn't feel the need to explain, so everyone was even more sure that he was really a drama maniac.
After hearing Han Caiying's explanation, the reporters were all a little disappointed and sighed: "Alas! It turned out to be just this kind of madman. Although this news also has some reporting value, it is obviously not as valuable as they previously thought.
After a while, after the reporters adjusted their moods, someone asked: "Mr. Zhang Chengyuan and Miss Han Chaeyoung, please predict the ratings of "Haojie Chunxiang" to what extent, and can you become the ratings champion in the same period?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan scolded in his heart: "This kind of boring question is also taken out and asked, do you think I am Sanqing Tianzun, how can I predict the future situation." He glanced at Han Caiying and motioned for her to speak first.
Han Caiying first glanced at the director, saw him nodded, and said: "It's really hard to say the ratings, I guess it will be around 10%." Let's be conservative first, lest if you can't reach it, you will be said by reporters to be "blindly confident and self-righteous"
After hearing Han Chaeyoung's words, the director nodded slightly, anyway, the investment in this drama is not big, it is just an attempt by KBS TV to have a fresh theme, and the TV station does not have much expectations for it, as long as the ratings can be maintained above 10%, the production team will be able to make a difference. Although everyone thinks that this drama is quite good and has the potential to make a big fortune, the world is unpredictable, so don't be too complacent when talking in front of you.
And Jang Sung-won's personality is not that impetuous inner type, but like an old man, very steady, so his answer is similar to Han Chaeyoung, just adding: "Maybe after SBS's "Love at Harvard" is broadcast, the ratings of "Haojie Chunxiang" can rise to more than 15%." ”
Now "Love at Harvard" starring Kim Tae-hee and Kim Rae-won is on the air, and when "Haojie Chunhyang" is on the file, it is also the climax of "Love at Harvard".
After that, the reporters asked some boring questions, and saw that Zhang Chengyuan and Han Caiying couldn't splash the water and couldn't ask any exciting news, so they turned the gun and collectively "bombarded" the new screenwriter Hong sisters, maybe they felt that these two newcomers were easy to bully.
However, with the "escort" of director Jeon Ki-sang, an old oilman who is accustomed to seeing reporters' faces, the reporters didn't get any inside information they wanted to hear. After that, the whole conference ended "successfully" in a seemingly happy atmosphere. For the crew members of this show, it is very satisfying if there is no accident.
