On May 24, the day after Jang Sung-won returned to South Korea, early in the morning, he took a car to the current location of the crew of "The Painter of the Wind" - Taosan Academy in Andong City, Gyeongsangbuk-do.

Due to the long distance, it took more than four hours to get there, and on the way, he had nothing to do, except to read the script, but to take out his mobile phone and text and chat with the sisters to contact their feelings and pass the time.

When it was almost noon, he arrived at the crew and saw that the crew was filming, so he didn't bother, just watched quietly, and waited until he took a temporary break before he walked over to greet the director Zhang Taiyun, Wen Genying and other crew members.

When they saw him, the crew members were surprised, but not surprised by his sudden visit, because everyone already knew that he would return to the crew today, but surprised by his demeanor at this time. Since the filming of "The Painter of the Wind" began, Zhang Chengyuan in their eyes has looked polite, but in fact he is arrogant and indifferent, but at this time, Zhang Chengyuan is smiling, his expression is gentle, and he exudes a rich temperament that is as warm as jade.

Due to the great contrast between the front and back, most of the people present were stunned for a while before they came to their senses, and then they saluted him back, and they all felt flattered in their hearts, and at the same time, they were extremely curious about why Zhang Chengyuan would have such a big change.

Some people with quick brains guessed that he may have been "baptized" or stimulated by his soul in the disaster area, so that he changed his temper -- they have heard about Zhang Chengyuan's deeds of running to southwest China to save people "without doing his job", but they have heard a little about it through the South Korean media, but they don't know much about it.

After meeting the crew members and chatting with the director. Zhang Chengyuan pulled Wen Genying to a clean corner to speak. Yesterday's reception banquet. The sisters came. Just that she and Ha Ji Won didn't come, which made Jang Sung-won, who felt that he hadn't seen them for a long time, missed them very much, so now that he had the opportunity, he wanted to talk to Moon Geun-young.

Wen Genying said: "Brother Cheng Yuan, I didn't go to your reception banquet yesterday, you won't blame me, right?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan smiled: "What do I blame you for?" It's not a very important thing, so naturally I don't take it to heart. ”

Moon Geun Young said: "Actually, when Sister Jisoo mentioned this to me. I really want to go. It's just that you, the male lead, have been away for many days, and if I, the female lead, ask for leave and leave, the crew will basically not be able to shoot here, and I can see you as long as I wait one more day, so I didn't go back to Seoul to see you. ”

Zhang Chengyuan touched her head and said, "You are right, if I were faced with this situation, I would do the same." ”

Wen Genying said again: "Brother Cheng Yuan, the way you talked to everyone just now is very different from before. It won't be because I've taken too long of time off and feel sorry for everyone. So you want to be gentle so that people can forgive you more easily? ”

Zhang Chengyuan smiled and said, "Do you really think so?" ”

Wen Genying thought about it, shook his head again, and said, "With your character, you shouldn't do this, so I feel a little strange." Brother Cheng Yuan, you won't really change your temper, will you? Xuanying called me yesterday and said, you seem to have become much gentler, I still don't believe it? "The more people who know Zhang Chengyuan, the less likely it is to believe that Zhang Chengyuan will change his usual habits and attitudes towards people in a short period of time.

"Isn't that bad?" Zhang Chengyuan asked with a smile.

Wen Genying said: "Of course it's okay, your appearance just now is really good, I can see that everyone likes your attitude just now, Brother Cheng Yuan, if you can keep doing this, then you will definitely meet more friends in the future and get more people's like." ”

Zhang Chengyuan shook his head slightly and said: "I don't know how long I can maintain this state now, maybe in a few days, I will unconsciously be as indifferent as before, after all, the country is easy to change, and my nature is difficult to change." Of course, I'll try to be gentle. ”

Wen Genying said: "Brother Cheng Yuan, no matter how you change, you are my favorite brother." ”

"Just brother?" Zhang Chengyuan glanced at her with a smile.

Wen Genying lowered her head a little shyly.

……

Maybe he saw that Jang Sung-won and Moon Geun-young were chatting happily, and it was already noon, so director Jang Tae-yoo simply ordered the crew members to start having lunch, and then Jang Sung-won's assistant Kim Yu-gi hurriedly took out the food that had been bought in advance for the crew members, and took two more and handed them to Jang Sung-won and Moon Gen-young, one of which was the food that Moon Gen-young usually loved. At that moment, Zhang Chengyuan and Wen Genying sat directly in the corner while eating, and continued to chat happily.

After lunch, he rested for a while, and it was Zhang Chengyuan's turn to film, and he filmed continuously until the crew finished work in the evening, except for going to the toilet and drinking saliva, he never rested.

But this is also a helpless thing, who let him take more than ten days off, so that he owes a lot of scenes, how can he not make up for it as soon as possible? In addition, because he had important business in a few days, he had to take two more days off, so he could only work harder. The other actors can take the opportunity to take a break.

This time, Zhang Chengyuan wanted to ask for leave again as soon as he returned to the crew, which can also be said to be a little compulsory, because four days later, that is, on May 28, Cheng Long will come to South Korea to accept the appointment of the Hallyu Publicity Ambassador, and participate in the Hanyu Dock groundbreaking ceremony the next day, and also serve as the publicity ambassador of the Hallyu Dock.

In addition, he has an even more important task to do, which is to record an earthquake relief song "WeAreTheAsia" with a group of Korean stars. Of course, I will also be interviewed by many media during this period. As a result, he may have to spend about two days in South Korea.

As a landlord, Zhang Chengyuan, who has been taken care of by Cheng Long many times, naturally needs to treat Cheng Long wholeheartedly this time, although Cheng Long will still make a lot of announcements during his stay in South Korea, and he does not need to be accompanied from time to time, but if he has been staying in the crew, he will not be ready to be ready when receiving Cheng Long, after all, the location of the crew of "The Painter of the Wind" at this time is more than four hours away from Seoul. So he simply took a leave of absence.

In this regard, director Zhang Taiyun naturally has a lot of complaints. After all, Zhang Chengyuan had already taken a long vacation before. But a few days later, he approved Zhang Chengyuan's leave again. Because he suddenly found that with Zhang Chengyuan's high efficiency and iron-like body and will, even if he takes a few more days off, he can quickly make up for the scenes he owes. In addition, even if he doesn't agree, Zhang Chengyuan may not listen to him.

In a blink of an eye, it was the 28th, and early that morning, Zhang Chengyuan came to the international airport early to wait for Cheng Long's plane to arrive. By the way, Cheng Long came to South Korea this time and did not take a civil aircraft. It's a private jet he leases himself.

After waiting at the pick-up gate for about half an hour, Zhang Chengyuan waited for Cheng Long and the staff and bodyguards around him.

As Cheng Long, it is impossible to go abroad to work like Zhang Chengyuan did when he went to China last time, just alone, and almost many people will follow him every time, although he is also a light car this time, but there are nearly ten people with him. Fortunately, he had already explained to Zhang Chengyuan in advance, so Zhang Chengyuan had already rented several cars for these people to travel at this time.

And what he prepared for Cheng Long was a luxurious large nanny car that could sleep in the car and was equipped with TV, refrigerator and other household appliances.

After getting into the car and looking at the facilities in the car, Cheng Long couldn't help but shake his head and said, "To greet me." You really went to great lengths to get this kind of luxurious car. What a waste! ”

With his understanding of Zhang Chengyuan, he knew that it was impossible for Zhang Chengyuan to have such an enjoyable car, and he knew that this must be a car that Zhang Chengyuan rented or borrowed for him, and he was a little moved, but at the same time, he felt that there was no need for this, and there was no need to be so polite between him and Zhang Chengyuan.

Zhang Chengyuan said: "Big brother, I don't want to see you, I just think that with your identity, it is more appropriate to have a good car to match." And when you come to South Korea this time, you are afraid that there are many things to do, and you don't have much free time, and having this car as a car can also allow you to take a break for a while. ”

Cheng Long smiled slightly and said: "Your kindness, I can't refuse, it's up to you." Well, next time you come to Hong Kong, I'll do the same for you. ”

After chatting a few more words, Cheng Long turned to the topic and said: "This time I came to South Korea, mainly to record the disaster relief song "WeAreTheAsia", I have already contacted Park Zhenying, the boss of JYPEntertainment, and asked him to help contact some singers and stars in South Korea to sing this song together, and focused on you, did he contact you?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "I have been contacted, and I have invited other artists under my company who have free time to participate, I will naturally not refuse this kind of thing, I have already told him that I will participate in this event with all the artists under my company." ”

Among his artists, Li Zhen, Jun Hye-bin, and Yoon Eun-hye are singers, and Jin Yazhong's singing strength is not inferior to that of professional singers, so it is quite appropriate to participate in this event.

Cheng Long said with a smile on his face: "That's good!" In fact, I don't care much about who the participating celebrities are, as long as the number of people is about the same, the key is that you, a big star who is now popular with the Chinese people, must participate. Alas, I hope that through this relief song, more Koreans and Asians will pay attention to and support the reconstruction work in the Xicheon disaster area. ”

Zhang Chengyuan nodded and said, "I hope so." ”

In fact, he didn't think that this method could have much effect, but since it was an activity initiated by Cheng Long, he naturally wanted to support it.

After a pause, he suddenly asked, "Big brother, you just said that I am a big star who is loved by the Chinese people?" Is it too much of a lift-up for me? ”

Cheng Long shook his head and smiled: "Don't lift, don't lift at all!" Nowadays, your popularity and popularity in China are almost unmatched, at least all other foreign stars such as Korea, Japan, Hollywood, etc., can never compare with you. ”

Zhang Chengyuan was puzzled and asked, "Big brother, you're not joking with me, are you?" It's not that he doesn't want to believe Cheng Long's words, but what Cheng Long said is too hard to believe. I thought that maybe with the release of "The King of Kung Fu" in China and the exposure of his rescue in the disaster area, his popularity and reputation may rise to a certain extent, but it should not surpass all the stars outside of China, right?

Cheng Long said: "How can I joke about this kind of thing? It seems that you must not have been paying much attention to the news in the Chinese media lately, do you know what you are called in China now? ”

"What?" Zhang Chengyuan was also curious about what the Chinese would call him.

"'Chinese Korean compatriot', 'The most caring Korean friend', 'Korean star bodhisattva', 'The most handsome Korean male star'...... There are at least a dozen of them called this bizarre. The key is that in the days after you left the disaster area, China/National/TV, Xichuan TV, Jiangzhou TV, and many other local TV stations have broadcast your touching deeds of saving people, so it can be said that you are now almost unknown to everyone in China! And it is very popular with the Chinese! I have also heard that Shifang City, Mianzhu City, and Wenchuan County are all planning to confer on you the title of 'Honorary Citizen' at an appropriate time. ”

"Honorary citizens? I'm afraid I can't afford this honor? He felt that he was a little unworthy of this honor, after all, there were countless people who participated in the rescue of people in the disaster area at that time, and if he didn't rely on his identity as a foreigner and a star, he was afraid that he would not have a chance to win this title!

Cheng Long said: "Afford it!" Absolutely deserved! Just for the 57 people you saved, you deserve this title! 57 people, what a merit this is, apart from the army and other groups, in terms of the number of people saved by an individual, I am afraid that you may be the largest. ”

Zhang Chengyuan shook his head and said: "I just participated in saving people, and I didn't rescue those 57 people alone." Since most of the people he searched and rescued were buried under the deep rubble, it would be good if he could rescue a dozen or so people alone, so he didn't dare to take credit.

Cheng Long glanced at Zhang Chengyuan and thought: "If only Chengyuan was Chinese, then he would definitely be able to do more meaningful things for China, and if he can also rely on the strength of the global Chinese, then he will definitely be able to become the successor of me and Li Lianjie and become an international kung fu superstar...... may even surpass Li Xiaolong, who died young. Alas, what a pity! ”

In his eyes, Zhang Chengyuan is a hidden dragon, trapped in the shallows of South Korea, which is a pity! (To be continued......)
