Chapter 56: Set sail again

In the next half month or so, in addition to going back to the university to go through the procedures for resuming school and taking classes for a few days, Zhang Chengyuan was basically resting, adjusting his mentality and work and rest time by the way, so as to change himself from a soldier to an ordinary urban person on the spiritual level.

Taking advantage of this rare leisure time, Jang Sung-won contacted and reunited with friends who had known him before, such as Ha Ji Won, Won Bin, Yoon Eun-hye, and Moon Geun-young, to regain friendship; While watching popular TV, movies, variety shows, magazines and weeklies, etc., to understand the characteristics and trends of today's times, I hope to get back to the feeling of being at ease in the advertising and entertainment industry as soon as possible.

In addition, he even went to China and spent ten days, not to visit the mountains and rivers and cultivate his sentiments, but to check the secret realm "Xiaoyouqing Void Heaven" in the depths of Wangwu Mountain, where he lived in his previous life. It's a pity that the years go by, time passes, when he worked hard to find the original site of "Xiao Youqing Void Heaven", only to find that this secret realm has long disappeared, as if it never existed, I don't know whether it collapsed in the world of later generations, or destroyed in the hands of foreign enemies? But under the passage of thousands of years, all traces of the secret realm have long been wiped out, how can Zhang Chengyuan deduce the truth of the matter?

Zhang Chengyuan, who did not give up, went to the Dongfu Taoist Temple of the various sects in the cultivation world back then, wanting to find a legacy of Taoist inheritance to get the answer. Unfortunately, there is still no harvest. What's even more tragic is that he traveled all over the country, and he couldn't even find a real monk. The cultivation of an old Dao with the highest cultivation level was only in the middle stage of refining and refining qi, which was not even half of what he was now, let alone the grand occasion of a thousand years ago.

At that moment, Zhang Chengyuan was very disappointed, and saw that it was difficult to see Chinese clothes and Han and Tang Dynasty etiquette in the land of China, compared to the shameless behavior of the small country and widow Shang Zhidao who tried his best to preserve his own culture, and even preoccupied the cultural traditions of other countries with a dead face, Chinese his indifference to traditional civilization made him even more angry, so he had no interest in wandering around in China, and hurriedly took a plane back to South Korea, telling himself through contact with relatives and friends that he still had someone to protect, and the meaning of living in this world.

After two more days of leisure, Zhang Chengyuan couldn't sit still, and ran to the company to ask Park Byungyeol to arrange a suitable job for him quickly.

In the days when Jang Sung-won was resting, Park Byung-yeol was very tired, in addition to paying attention to the itinerary of Kim Tae-hee, who is now popular, he also had to be cheeky to contact some weighty work for Jang Sung-won.

But Zhang Chengyuan is not as popular as two years ago, when his popularity, although it cannot be compared with today's top idol superstars such as Zhang Dongjian and Yuan Bin, he is almost at the level of a first-line star, and the market demand is very sought-after. But how can advertisers, TV producers, PDs, etc. look down on him now, because there are many new stars who have topics and can attract the public's attention for them to choose.

Park Byungyeol and Jang Sung-won had expected such a situation two years ago, but when the matter came to an end, it still made them uncomfortable and angry, and they couldn't wait to slap these guys with their eyes above the top. Forced by the current situation, Park Byungyeol lowered Jang Sung-won's value by several notches, and arranged for Kim Tae-hee and Jang Sung-won to shoot commercials together many times.

After some hard work, he finally took advantage of Kim Tae-hee's almost unrivaled popularity in the advertising industry to promote Jang Sung-won again, and it also caused a very controversial topic in the entertainment industry "Jang Sung-won returned from the army, and Kim Tae-hee is like glue and paint". For a while, Zhang Chengyuan's popularity rose rapidly.

For this method of scandal hype, Jang Sung-won and Kim Tae-hee were originally very disgusted.

Back then, Zhang Chengyuan would rather start from a small dragon than take advantage of the light of Fin.k.l to quickly rise to the top. And Kim Tae-hee has been clean and self-conscious since the moment she stepped into the entertainment industry, relying on her own strength to pursue progress, although there will inevitably be scandals, but it is not her original intention.

However, when she learned in advance that the object of this scandal was Zhang Chengyuan, she didn't care at all, but was a little happy to be able to help Zhang Chengyuan, because she has always regarded Zhang Chengyuan as a good friend and a good brother.

Kim Tae-hee's promise made Jang Sung-won, who originally wanted to reject this scandal sales strategy, reluctantly agree. After all, the woman doesn't object, but he, as a big man, resolutely opposes it, isn't it too hypocritical?

With Kim Tae-hee's strong public influence, Jang Sung-won has been given many opportunities to appear on camera, thus reuniting a large number of his former fans and making them refocus their attention on him. And with its impeccable appearance, it has attracted the favor of a large number of innocent girls who have just known how to look forward to love, as well as the attention of some young people who like to imitate Zhang Chengyuan's cold posture.

Cold, strong, simple and fashionable is Park Byung-yeol's redesigned image for Jang Sung-won, but this is not a decision made to cater to the current trend of the entertainment industry, but a strategy that has to be done for the time being.

Zhang Chengyuan's original character was taciturn and not good at expression, and after so many years in high school, college, and the army, he would never make more than a palm, because he gave people the impression that he was powerful and wise, so he was very arrogant and difficult to get close to. People who have not been with him for a long time or who are born to agree with him will not be able to discover the loneliness and longing in his heart.

And after two years of training in the border barracks, he doesn't like to laugh or talk anymore, that is, in front of Fin.k.l, he can laugh and laugh without jealousy, that is, in front of his friends, his expression and tone of speech are still gentle, but in front of others, Zhang Chengyuan often has a cold face, a cold, and unapproachable appearance, obviously has a serious sense of disobedience from society and incompatibility.

Therefore, if you want to shape him into a beloved person, the image of the big boy next door, for the time being, it is an absolutely insurmountable problem, and if you do it reluctantly, you will only draw a tiger and not an anti-dog, and at that time, I am afraid that no matter how good his appearance and ability are, few people want to pay attention to it.

After resetting Jang Sung-won's image, Park Byung-yeol immediately asked Jang Sung-won to promote it, so in many public-facing occasions, in addition to the necessary etiquette and communication with fans, Jang Sung-won is pretending to be cold and cool, and even doesn't have to pretend.

While driving away a lot of Yanfu, it also has an additional benefit, that is, it can make people impressed by his image and unforgettable. No, after a big gathering of entertainers, Zhang Chengyuan unexpectedly received several TV series audition invitations.

Of course, with his current situation that he has just returned and his popularity is only acceptable, the role that invited him to audition is basically not the male number one, and the highest is only the male number two. There are two of them that he cares about more, because the script outlines of these two are quite good, and there is a possibility of making a big hit. One is "The Crown Prince's First Love", which plays an illegitimate son who graduated from a prestigious school, has a calm and calm personality, and does not smile; The other is called "Full House of Romance", which plays an industry elite who is very manly and charming on the outside, but quite a gentleman on the inside.

At first glance, it must be the second role that is more likable, and Zhang Chengyuan guessed that the drama "Full House of Romance" is very fresh and novel, and the possibility of popularity is greater than that of "The Crown Prince's First Love", so he temporarily listed this role as the first choice, but whether he can be selected is not something he can decide, so for the sake of insurance, Zhang Chengyuan participated in the audition for these two roles.

Zhang Chengyuan thought that it would be better if he could play both roles, but unfortunately there was a conflict between the schedules of "The Crown Prince's First Love" and "Full House of Romance", so he could only choose one of them.

In the end, Jang Sung-won took over the first role, that is, the second male lead in "The Crown Prince's First Love". It wasn't because he didn't pass the audition for another role because he didn't perform well, so he had to choose the first role as a last resort; is not because the personality and image of the second male in "The Crown Prince's First Love" are very similar to him, and he can easily play him alive; is because his good sister Cheng Youli has confirmed that she will play the female lead in "The Crown Prince's First Love".

In the past, he could go to the crew of "Autumn Fairy Tale" to play a role for Wen Genying, who he just met, but now he can not only have a lot of contact with Cheng Youli, but also play the second male lead, how can he refuse this kind of good thing that kills two birds with one stone?
