Since "Quick Knife Hong Jitong" will be broadcast on KBS TV in a few days, Zhang Chengyuan and the three of them have to cooperate with KBS TV's program interview, after all, this is their obligation. Moreover, there are TV stations that work hard to help promote the new drama, which also has a good impact on the ratings of the new drama. And this is not only a good thing for the TV station, but also a good thing for the crew and actors.

Sit down and say a few pleasantries, and the interview begins. The reporter first asked Zhang Chengyuan, who is currently the most popular, and asked: "Mr. Zhang Chengyuan, this TV series is the first historical drama you starred in, what is the reason for you to take over this drama?" As far as we know, you don't seem to be very fond of making historical dramas. ”

Zhang Chengyuan kept a faint smile on his face and replied: "You are right, I really don't like to make historical dramas, and there have been many invitations to historical dramas before, but I have rejected them." However, "Quick Knife Hong Jitong" cannot be regarded as a pure historical drama, but a historical light comedy mixed with modern elements. Of course, this is only one of the reasons why I participated in this show, and the other reason is that the script of this show is very good and attractive! The character of Hong Jitong, sometimes laughing and scolding, witty and funny, sometimes deep and introverted, sad and lingering, is a very complex and contradictory character, I have never played it before, which makes me want to challenge it. ”

The reporter then asked: "Can you ask, why don't you like to make pure historical dramas?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "If it is a really pure and rigorous historical drama, I think I may take over the filming." It's just that many historical dramas nowadays like to falsify history, or arbitrarily exaggerate the greatness of their country's historical figures, in the name of enhancing the national pride of the people. In fact, it has made today's young people more and more confused about the real history. so that they become more and more arrogant. If it were this type of historical drama, I wouldn't take it. Because I don't want to be a helper and helper to mislead young Koreans about history. Originally, he wanted to say "accomplice", but thinking that the word seemed to be too much, he temporarily changed it to "helper", so that the words were a little unsatisfactory.

In fact, what Zhang Chengyuan is saying now is not the real reason why he does not take on historical dramas, he is just not used to seeing Korean historical dramas that always criticize and ridicule Chinese history and Chinese historical figures, and even usurp some Chinese civilizations as his own, so he is unwilling to make historical dramas like "Da Changjin", "Da Zuorong", "Zhu Meng", and "The Legend of the Four Gods of the Taiwang". If it is a historical drama that only describes the history of South Korea itself, even if it is to change the so-called greatest monarch of North Korea, King Sejong, to be the descendant of aliens or the illegitimate son of an ape. Zhang Chengyuan didn't bother to pay attention to it.

After listening to Zhang Chengyuan's words, the reporter was not so surprised, because of his remarks, many people have said similar things a long time ago, although Zhang Chengyuan has a special identity, and he has a certain news value when he said this, but he did not feel the need to dig deeper, and immediately asked another question: "Mr. Zhang Chengyuan." It is said that you are not only the lead actor of this drama, but also served as the martial arts instructor of this drama. Isn't that so? ”

"Yes!"

"Then why do you want to be the instructor of this martial arts? Everyone knows that the work of teaching martial arts is tiring, and it lacks the attention of the media and the audience, and is not taken seriously. ”

Zhang Chengyuan said lightly: "It's just interest." He can't always say that the reason why he serves as a martial arts instructor is because he dislikes that the Korean martial arts instructor is not professional enough, and he can't watch the action scenes filmed. If he really said that, he was afraid that he would immediately offend a large number of people. Although he is not afraid of these people, there is no need to offend people needlessly.

"What do the actors think of you as a martial arts instructor? Do they think you're up to the job? ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "You should ask the two next to me this question." ”

The reporter immediately turned his head to Zhang Geun Suk and asked this question, perhaps he felt that Sung Youli was Jang Sung Won's girlfriend, and asked her to answer, and the answer she got would not be very objective.

Jang Geun Suk thought for a while, and said in an astonishing voice: "When Zhang Chengyuan's predecessor was serving as a martial arts instructor, he was like a demon. ”

After hearing this, the reporter couldn't help but be taken aback and asked, "Why do you say that?" I wondered if there was a contradiction between Jang Geun Suk and Jang Sung Won, but when his eyes swept over the faces of Sung Youli and Zhang Sung Won, he found that Sung Youli laughed lightly, and the corners of Zhang Sung Won's mouth also implied a faint smile, so he knew that Jang Geun Suk's words were not dissatisfied, and he couldn't help but feel disappointed. Out of professional instinct, almost all entertainment journalists seem to fear chaos in the world.

I only heard Jang Keun Suk continue: "Before the official filming of this drama, our actors had a rather harsh movement training in Paju, practicing from 8 or 9 o'clock in the morning every day until about 8 o'clock in the evening, with about two hours of rest in between, which means that we had to practice at least eight or nine hours a day. It felt really tiring, many times we wanted to be lazy, but we didn't know what it was, as long as we were coldly stared at by Zhang Chengyuan's seniors, we would be so scared that we immediately insisted on practicing. So during that time, what we hoped most was that he couldn't come to something, so that we could be a little lazy. All of us actors privately refer to him as 'Coach Cold Noodles' or 'Coach Demon'.

However, despite what he says, we are still very grateful to him in our hearts, because he taught us a lot of things that are very useful and cannot be learned from others casually. In addition, under his supervision, our physical fitness has improved very quickly, and the martial arts movements have also been practiced very skillfully, so in the filming of action scenes later, it seems particularly easy, I believe that the action scenes we shot this time will definitely surprise the audience and deeply love. And these are the credits of Coach Zhang. So I think he's very qualified for the position of martial arts instructor, and I can't really think of another martial arts instructor in Korea that can match him. ”

The reporter asked: "What did you think of Mr. Zhang Chengyuan when he was an actor?" ”

Jang Geun Suk groaned: "Well, as an actor, Jang Sung-won's predecessor is a very admirable person, and at the same time, it will cause a lot of pressure on people. His acting skills are very good. No matter how difficult the play. He can handle it all. He was completely engaged when he was filming. There is almost never a laugh, and the number of NG is very rare, and most of them are automatically remade by him. It's really stressful to play with him, for fear that I will look too naïve and too bad compared to him, so I will always make the best preparations in advance and ensure that I can devote myself to it before I dare to start playing against him. I very much hope that one day, I will be able to catch up with him in acting. ”

Reporter: "Mr. Zhang Chengyuan." What do you think of your junior, Mr. Jang Keun Suk? ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "First of all, I want to say that Gen Shuo's evaluation of me just now was a little high, in fact, my acting skills are not too outstanding, otherwise, I wouldn't have won enough awards until now......"

Jang Geun Suk suddenly interjected: "I think the reason why Jang Sung-won's predecessors haven't won the award is not because he is not strong enough, but because his current qualifications are not deep enough, and he is a little younger, which is a big loss when selecting the awards." But I'm sure in a few years' time, he'll be able to win some big awards. ”

Zhang Chengyuan smiled: "I hope there will be that day." Turning his head to look at the reporter, he said, "My first impression of Genshuo was. He's young enough, handsome enough, and smart enough, after a while. I also found that he is strong and hard enough, and his acting skills have been honed quite well, I believe that after this drama is broadcast, many audiences, especially female audiences, will like him or like him even more. At the same time, I also believe that as long as it takes another two or three years, his popularity, acting skills, achievements and other aspects will catch up with me now. In short, he is a promising actor. ”

Although Jang Sung Won didn't know why Jang Geun Suk said good things about him in his reply just now, maybe he just wanted to create a good image of his respect for his predecessors, but since Jang Geun Suk praised him, he couldn't help but be polite and reciprocate, so he also said some good things. However, these words are not against his will, he does feel that Jang Geun Suk is very promising. It's just that he and Jang Geun Suk don't seem to be compatible by nature and can't get along at all, so he has never thought about befriending him.

After hearing Zhang Chengyuan's praise, Zhang Genshuo immediately said: "Xie Lu Xie senior's praise, if I can really catch up with you, I will feel very honored." "The attitude is very humble.

Zhang Chengyuan smiled and said in his heart: "I mean to catch up with me now, not to catch up with me, you are improving, I am also improving, in two or three years, I will still be in front of you, and I will always be in front of you!" ”

Then, the reporter began to interview Cheng Youli and asked: "Miss Cheng Youli, as we all know, you and Mr. Zhang Chengyuan are lovers in reality, this time not only filming together, but also playing lovers in the play, what are your special feelings about this?" ”

Cheng Youli said with a smile: "I don't have any special feelings, I just feel like I've fallen in love with Cheng Yuan from scratch, and this love is more romantic and interesting than the real love." I love it! ”

"Me too!" Zhang Chengyuan glanced at Cheng Youli with a smile and added in his heart.

The reporter asked again: "Do you sometimes feel inconvenient?" For example, when you and Jang Geun Suk are acting in a love scene, there is Mr. Jang Sung-won watching, will it be difficult for you to enter the state of acting? ”

Cheng Youli said: "No, every time there is such a scene, Cheng Yuan will avoid it in advance, so as not to affect my emotions." Moreover, so far, I haven't had much entanglement with Gen Shuo in the play, it's just that he is unrequited in love with me, and I haven't fallen in love with him. So I was basically unaffected. ”

Reporter: "Before this, almost all the roles you played were very pure types, and this time Xu Lilu seems to be very different from before?" ”

Cheng Youli nodded and said: "That's true, Xu Lilu is a big grin, a little masculine, a very cool personality, and a little sloppy, which is a role I have never played before." It was a very difficult challenge for her. ”

"Then do you have the confidence to play her well?"

Cheng Youli glanced at Zhang Chengyuan and said very happily: "Have confidence!" ”

Zhang Chengyuan interjected: "I believe that when "Quick Knife Hong Jitong" is broadcast, everyone will be impressed by Miss Youli's performance after seeing her." ”

Hearing this, Jang Geun Suk also nodded and agreed.

……

Next, the reporter asked a lot of questions about the filming of the TV series, plot synopsis, behind-the-scenes stories and other aspects, although most of the questions, Jang Sung-won and others had already answered them at the previous press conference, but since this KBS TV reporter asked again, they could only answer again with a smile.

About another 40 minutes passed, and the interview ended. After the reporter left, the three of them went to change out of their costumes, and then, Zhang Chengyuan and Cheng Youli said goodbye to Zhang Gensuk and the crew members and left first. At this time, it was past six o'clock in the afternoon, and the two planned to go back to Zhang Chengyuan's company restaurant for dinner.

On the way, Cheng Youli said with some worry: "Cheng Yuan, you just said in an interview that many historical dramas are fabricated and tampered with history, which seems to be a little inappropriate, even if you are telling the truth, but it is easy to offend your peers in the industry by saying this, you shouldn't say that!" ”

Zhang Chengyuan said disappreliantly: "Sister, it's not a big deal, it's not the first time I've said this, many media, some historians and netizens have said so, I'm just picking up people's teeth, and no one will target me." ”

Cheng Youli said: "Your identity is different from them, and your popularity is so high, it is too conspicuous to say such things, I am afraid that those directors or screenwriters who make historical dramas will not be willing to cooperate with you in the future." ”

"If you don't cooperate, you won't cooperate, it's a big deal that I only shoot modern dramas, anyway, I'm not very interested in historical dramas and costume dramas." Zhang Chengyuan didn't care.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered one thing, a few days ago he asked Lin Jixiu to contact the crew of "The Painter of the Wind" for him to discuss cooperation, but if the director and screenwriter of "The Painter of the Wind" heard his comments on the historical drama today, I am afraid that it will have a bad impression of him, so that there will be twists and turns in his plan to take over the role of "The Painter of the Wind"? Shaking his head, Zhang Chengyuan thought to himself: "This shouldn't be the case, right?" (To be continued......)
