Chapter 17: Zhang Dongjian's Younger Brother?

Through the first official advertising shooting, Zhang Chengyuan realized that mixing in the entertainment industry is far more difficult than he originally thought, and his acting skills alone can allow him to hone for many years, even with his talent far beyond the world, if he wants to become an actor with excellent acting skills, he can't do it overnight. At present, he still needs to do more preparation, especially under the guidance of professional mentors, so at his request, Park Byung-yeol applied for a night class at an acting school for him.

In this way, Zhang Chengyuan is even busier, but fortunately, he insists on meditating and practicing qi every night, so that he can be refreshed and full of energy every day to meet new challenges.

Time flies quickly, and it is May in the blink of an eye. May 10 is Lee Hyo-ri's birthday, and May 13 is the day Fin.K.L releases his second album, so Jang Sung-won can't help but take time out to congratulate his four sisters.

In early June, the advertisement for Nongshimsin Shin Ramen was finally broadcast on major TV stations under the ardent expectation of Park Byungyeol. The ad is divided into two versions, a 30-second version featuring Zhang Dongjian. The other is the full version, which is a full 1 minute. In the full version, Jang Sung-won appears in shots that are almost equal to Jang Dong-jian, which can be said to be the second protagonist. Among them, when Zhang Chengyuan served noodles to Zhang Dongjian, the warm scene of the two making eye contact was the most unforgettable, and even caused heated discussions among professionals, who believed that this advertisement was very likely to become one of the best advertisements of the year.

Seeing Jang Sung-won on the TV screen, Park Byung-yeol was even more excited than Jang Sung-won, because he knew better than anyone that his company was about to usher in a period of high profits.

With the continuous broadcast of Xin ramen advertisements, Zhang Chengyuan's image in the advertisement is becoming more and more familiar to the audience, although people do not know his real name, but still affectionately call him "Zhang Dongjian's younger brother", it just so happens that many people know that Zhang Dongjian originally had a younger brother, so some people who do not know the truth still think that Zhang Chengyuan is really Zhang Dongjian's younger brother, who calls the two are so handsome, and at first glance there are some similarities. Park Byungyeol also asked someone to apologize to Jang Dong-kun, saying that they did not create and spread this rumor. And Zhang Dongjian didn't take it seriously, but congratulated Zhang Chengyuan a few words.

With the shareholder style of Zhang Dongjian, Zhang Chengyuan's reputation became louder and louder, and almost all the viewers who saw the advertisement remembered this handsome, respectful and warm boy, many teenage girls were conquered by Zhang Chengyuan's handsome appearance at once, and began to regard Zhang Chengyuan as a new generation of idols.

As Jang Sung-won's popularity continues to rise, it has become much easier for Park Byung-yeol to approach advertisements, and many advertisers will let out an "oh" when they see Jang Sung-won's photo and say, "It turns out to be Jang Dong-kun's younger brother, then it's no problem, let's audition tomorrow." "There are even some small advertisers who directly use Zhang Chengyuan to shoot, how can you find a model like Zhang Chengyuan who is as popular as a second-tier star but has a cheaper price?

In order to consolidate Jang Sung-won's cordial image among the audience, Park Byung-yeol adhered to the principle of "development first and then profit", and took some advertisements with a healthy image for Jang Sung-won, such as outdoor sports shoes, mountaineering clothes, green tea and other advertisements, which are all brands of some unknown but powerful small and medium-sized enterprises. Occasionally, he also arranged for Zhang Chengyuan to take some cover photos of youth magazines, hoping to increase Zhang Chengyuan's popularity through multiple channels.

Originally, Park Byungyeol also wanted Jang Sung-won to take this opportunity to enter the TV circle, but Jang Sung-won thought that his acting skills had not yet been honed at home, rather than recklessly playing some unremembered roles, or even smashing scenes to attract infamy, it was better to sharpen the sword first, and then find the right time to hit with one hit. Park Byungyeol felt that Jang Sung-won's idea was very reasonable, so he did not force him to film, although doing so would reduce some of the company's income, but for the sake of long-term interests, Park Byungyeol did not feel pity.

Fin.k.l was also very happy about Jang Sung-won's fame, and there was a sense of pride that he was "worthy of being our younger brother", but they did not divulge their relationship with Jang Sung-won, and asked the agents and assistants around them to keep their mouths shut. The purpose of this is to prevent some media from writing scandals after learning about it, and also to avoid malicious attacks by anti organizations that like to spread rumors and make trouble, so as to protect themselves and Zhang Chengyuan's fledgling career.

At this time, Fin.k.l was promoting their second album, often going back and forth between music programs and variety interviews on major TV stations, and the schedule was very busy, and he had no time to celebrate Jang Sung-won. It just so happened that Zhang Chengyuan was also busy and lacked skills, so he agreed with Fin.k.l to get together after this busy period. It is worth mentioning that Fin.k.l's second album has achieved extremely excellent results, and has won the first place on the major music charts several times, and its popularity is not known how many times more popular than Zhang Chengyuan.

In Jiu Lao High School, there are many students who have seen Nongshim Shin ramen advertisements, but most of them do not recognize the "Zhang Dongjian's younger brother" in the advertisement as the school's "ice-faced weirdo" Zhang Chengyuan. As for the teaching director and the head teacher, they heard Zhang Chengyuan mention the matter of filming Xin Ramen's advertisement, but because they had promised Zhang Chengyuan to keep it secret for him, they didn't say anything.

In school, Zhang Chengyuan still lives a dull life as before, but he will lose his trace from time to time, because the teaching director has already said hello, and the teachers of all subjects think that Zhang Chengyuan has something at home, so they don't pursue it, but they feel sorry for Zhang Chengyuan's learning situation, and secretly think that if this continues, I am afraid that Zhang Chengyuan's grades will plummet, and the first place in the whole grade may be lost to everyone. It wasn't until the final results of the 6th semester came out that Zhang Chengyuan's results still left the second place far behind, and everyone sighed in amazement: "Genius is really not something ordinary people can imagine!" ”

After hearing this, Zhang Chengyuan shook his head in his heart and sighed: "Victory is not martial!" ”

Zhang Donghu, who seems to be busier than his son Zhang Chengyuan, finally learned about Zhang Chengyuan's current situation after being busy. However, not only was he not happy, but he was more worried about Zhang Chengyuan's future prospects. In his opinion, the work in the entertainment industry is the most unstable, although Zhang Chengyuan is now popular, but after a while, if there is no good work, he is afraid that he will be forgotten immediately, and it is more secure to go to a prestigious university and work in a large company.

Originally, he thought that after Zhang Chengyuan filmed the advertisement, his studies would definitely regress, so in accordance with the agreement between father and son, Zhang Chengyuan had to obediently quit the entertainment industry and go to school with peace of mind, not wanting his son's grades to be the first in the whole grade this time. This made him wonder if he wanted to blame Zhang Chengyuan's IQ for being too high, or on the poor grades of other students in Jiulao High School? He thought to himself: "The students of this school don't work harder to squeeze my son's ranking!" ”

At a bus stop in Seoul, a sweet-looking girl with big eyes looked at Zhang Sungwon's poster on the platform billboard and said softly: "Sungwon oppa, you seem to be getting farther and farther away from me, although you don't know me yet, but one day I will stand in front of you in front of you and tell you how I feel now." ”
