Chapter 100: My Wish
Two days later, Zhang Chengyuan got a reply from the director of the reversal drama from Liu Zaishi, he agreed to Zhang Chengyuan's conditions, and Zhang Chengyuan immediately reciprocated and asked Park Byungyeol to negotiate with them, and took the initiative to reduce the salary by half on the basis of the salary proposed by the crew, which is almost the same as Li Zhen.
The main reason why Zhang Chengyuan is willing to take over the filming of the reversal drama is as he said that he wants to cooperate with Li Zhen in filming. Because they are all artists, everyone is very busy at work, he and his four sisters always get together less and leave more, Zhang Chengyuan is a little better, and often has four sisters to take turns to accompany him, and the four sisters are obviously more alone, which makes Zhang Chengyuan very guilty. This time, he can have this opportunity to work and make money and accompany Li Zhen, how can he not cherish it?
Secondly, filming a reversal drama is also an extremely interesting challenge for him. The plot of each episode of the reversal drama is independent, and the identity and personality of the characters will also change accordingly, compared to a formal TV series that can only play one important role, the reversal drama can give Zhang Chengyuan more opportunities to experience a variety of character lives, and in just 20 minutes, it is not easy for him to portray the characters he plays vividly and resonate with the audience. But it's not easy, and it's more challenging.
Another reason is that the ratings of the reversal drama are quite good, but it doesn't take too much time to shoot, that is, it won't take too much time for Zhang Chengyuan.
Although the plot of the reversal drama is twisty and unexpected, and the pace is fast, an episode is only about 20 minutes long, so there is no need to shoot too many shots. And most of the scenes in the story are very ordinary, and you generally don't have to travel long distances to find a suitable location to shoot. In addition, filming is not as labor-intensive as making a movie. According to Zhang Chengyuan's rough estimate, it will only take 2-3 days to shoot an episode at most, and if you are in a hurry, you can finish filming in about a day and a half. That way, he can free up more time to do other things.
On March 3, the day after the crew of "Haojie Chunxiang" held a celebration banquet, Zhang Chengyuan, accompanied by the enthusiastic Liu Zaishi, went to the crew of the reversal drama to meet with director Zheng Yongtai and other crew members, and also met some actors such as Li Zhen, Li Huicai, Andy and other actors who were filming.
During a temporary break, under the introduction of Liu Zaishi and Li Zhen, Zhang Chengyuan saluted each other and got to know each other with Li Huicai, Andy and other actors.
Li Huicai, whose main job is the host, is the same age as Liu Zaishi, both were born in 72, just a few months younger, and his debut time is about the same as Jiang Hudong, Liu Zaishi and others, and he is also a friend of Jiang and Liu. Zhang Chengyuan still remembers the first time he met him Li Huicai when he and his four sisters were eating barbecue in Jiang Hudong's barbecue restaurant several years ago, when they unexpectedly met Jiang Hudong, Liu Zaishi and the Li Huicai in front of them.
It's just that Li Huicai obviously doesn't remember this incident anymore, and Shicai also mentioned the "first meeting" when he talked to Zhang Chengyuan, and after being ridiculed by Liu Zaishi, he explained to Zhang Chengyuan with some embarrassment that he had a bad memory. Zhang Chengyuan was not angry that Li Hui didn't remember him, because he could understand, after all, he had just debuted at that time, and he didn't have much fame, and he was still in the stage of growing his body, his appearance was slightly different from now, and his temperament was very different, and it was understandable that Li Hui couldn't recognize it.
Andy, whose real name is Lee Seon-ho, is a member of the popular singer group Mythology. Previously, he collaborated with Li Huicai and Li Zhen in four or five episodes of reversal dramas, and the response was good. Although Andy can't know exactly what Lu Dao is and he will be transferred to another film crew to be in the same group as Yoo Jae-seok, because the director can't tell him the real reason, but from Jang Sung-won's replacement of his position, he can also guess that the reason must have something to do with Jang Sung-won.
Although he didn't have much to lose in such a transfer, he was always a little unhappy in his heart, as if he had been compared to others, so after seeing Zhang Chengyuan, he couldn't show a sincere smile for the time being. It wasn't until later, after he guessed the true relationship between Li Zhen and Zhang Chengyuan through Liu Zaishi's vaguely revealed words, that he suddenly realized something and forgave Zhang Chengyuan magnanimously.
Zhang Chengyuan was also faintly aware of Andy's thoughts, although he felt a little guilty, but he could only say sorry in his heart, who called Li Zhen the woman he must protect, he would never want to see Li Zhen play a couple with other men, although he can't completely avoid this situation, but it can be one less time.
A week later, Jang Sung-won began filming a reversal drama, the title of this episode is called "My Wish", and the main plot is like this: a ten-year-old boy dreams of marrying his teacher when he grows up, and makes a wish that he can grow up quickly. But this is clearly unrealistic. Soon after, when he learned that his teacher was getting married, he was so devastated that he rushed off the road in anger and was accidentally hit by a car.
When he woke up from the hospital bed, he unexpectedly found that he had actually grown up, he thought that the wish he had made had come true, and in his joy, he immediately rushed out of the ward to find his teacher, but by great coincidence he bumped into his teacher at the door, and then was taken home by his teacher, and lived with her temporarily.
At this time, a strange neighbor uncle appears and initiates a pursuit of the little boy's teacher, which immediately arouses the dissatisfaction of the little boy, and he tries in every possible way to sabotage the uncle's pursuit of action. After some time, the little boy confessed to his teacher very romantically, and his teacher stopped talking, and was about to say something, but he received a call from the strange uncle, asking her to meet tomorrow on a nearby mountain, and his teacher did not know him.
When he woke up the next day, the little boy learned from the note left by the teacher that she had gone to the appointment, and he was very relieved, and ran to the neighbor's uncle's house to take a look, and unexpectedly found that this uncle was actually a pervert and voyeur, so he hurriedly chased to the mountain, and saw that the perverted uncle was indecent to the teacher and stepped forward to stop it, but unfortunately he was not an opponent at all. Just when the pervert was about to beat the little boy, his teacher took advantage of his unpreparedness, took something to knock the perverted uncle unconscious, and escaped with him.
At this time, they met a man who was about to marry his teacher, but the little boy was shocked to find that this person had suddenly aged by more than ten years. After understanding, he learned that he was not ten years old now, but twenty-five, and it turned out that he did not grow up all at once, but lay in a coma on the hospital bed for fifteen years. And the teacher he saw now was not the teacher he liked before, but his teacher's niece, who only looked very similar to his teacher, and she also had the identity of the boy's attending doctor. It turned out that in order to prevent the little boy from being stimulated and affecting his recovery, she specially concealed all the truth, and did not tell him: his teacher was in a car accident with him in order to save him, and he is still unconscious!
After that, the boy went to visit his teacher in the hospital, and when he looked at his teacher's haggard and sluggish face, he remembered the wish he had made to marry his teacher, and he really had mixed feelings, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
In this episode, Jang Sung-won wants to play the role of this little boy who grows up, Li Zhen plays two roles, playing the little boy's teacher and attending doctor, and Li Huicai plays the perverted uncle who likes to peep.
Although there are not many sub-shots to be filmed in this episode of the reversal drama, the difficulty of filming is quite large, because these roles are very challenging for the actors' acting skills, especially the role played by Zhang Chengyuan is the most difficult.
It is not easy for an adult to show the innocent and childish thoughts and behaviors of a ten-year-old child, and be recognized by everyone, and Jang Sung-won also ambitiously wants him to play a role image that can make the audience ignore his appearance, and take it for granted: "This big man named Jang Sung-won is more like a child than a small child, and only acting like Jang Sung-won is the most appropriate way to act." This is even harder.
In order to do this, after receiving the script, Zhang Chengyuan deliberately went to a private elementary school to observe the every move of a ten-year-old child through Park Byungyeol's contact and arrangement, and observed it for two days before he gained a little, and then practiced in detail in the mirror, and found that with his tall and burly body, it is really difficult to get the audience's recognition if he wants to perform only by the body movements of the child mode, and the key is to rely on his eyes to express.
The children's eyes are almost undisguised, and their joy and anger are clearly expressed, and there are rarely times when various emotions are mixed together, and their joys, angers, sorrows, and sorrows are almost simple, very pure, and rarely mixed with other factors. It's really hard for adults to do that.
But Zhang Chengyuan can do this, he was a cultivator in his previous life, he knew how to control and eliminate all kinds of desires and some meaningless emotions, and his heart was like a child; In this life, although he has experienced all kinds of red dust tempering, his childish heart still exists, relying on his original spirit, he can still temporarily suppress other complex emotions, and release his pure heart like a child.
With this kind of weapon, Zhang Chengyuan is very handy during filming, and his performance has also been sincerely recognized by the crew members, and he is no longer only regarded as an idol actor who can only shoot idol dramas. Li Huicai also often asks him about acting skills. And Li Zhen also personally experienced the feeling of filming with Zhang Chengyuan after Cheng Youli, when Zhang Chengyuan's pure admiration looked at her, she was suddenly dizzy, and she stayed for a long time before she woke up, and almost made a joke.
After filming this day's filming, Li Zhen asked Zhang Chengyuan: "In the future, you can't use the same eyes as when you were filming just now to look at other people except our four sisters, even when filming." She was worried that Jang Sung-won's hot and loving eyes would make the actress who played with him like Jang Sung-won.
Zhang Chengyuan asked rhetorically: "Then what should I do when I am filming emotional scenes?" If there is no love in his eyes, how can he act well in love? ”
Li Zhen thought for a while and said, "Then you can restrain that strong love a little, oh no!" At least half of it should be reined in! In her opinion, even if the love in Zhang Chengyuan's eyes just now is half restrained, it is enough for Zhang Chengyuan to act in a good emotional drama.
Zhang Chengyuan responded: "Okay, Sister Zhen'er, I will try to do this in the future." ”
Li Zhen continued: "Also, you seem to be too immersed in the drama when you were filming just now, and I have to push you a few times after filming many times before you come to your senses, what's going on?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "It's okay! It's just that the play is too deep, aren't many actors with good acting skills like this? He has long been accustomed to this kind of filming state, and he doesn't care at all.
Li Zhen said with some doubts: "But you have been too deep in the play too many times and too often, which is not good." ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "When I filmed "Haojie Chunxiang", I was always like this, and I never had an accident, so don't worry. Well, let's not talk about this, Sister Zhen'er, the title of today's play is called "My Wish", so do you know what my wish is? In order to avoid Li Zhen worrying about him all the time, he shifted a topic that could attract Li Zhen's attention.
Li Zhen's face turned red, and he was a little clear in his heart, but said, "How do I know this?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan put his mouth to Li Zhen's ear and said softly: "Sister Zhen'er, my biggest wish now is to be able to be with the four of you for the rest of my life." "Maybe this guy is the only guy in the world today who will say such a bastard thing for granted, and he won't be slapped by the woman.
