Chapter 423: Entering the crew of "The Painter of the Wind".
On April 28, early in the morning, Jang Sung-won heard a good news, according to data released by the Korean Film Promotion Council today, "The King of Kung Fu" attracted nearly 500,000 viewers in the first week of its release in South Korea, becoming the new champion of the Korean weekend box office list last week.
Although among the actors of "The King of Kung Fu", Cheng Long and Li Lianjie are still the most attractive to Korean audiences, as one of the most popular and anticipated star actors in South Korea, Jang Sung-won still attracts many audiences, especially female audiences, to the cinema to enjoy his wonderful performance in the film. If there is no him, even if "The King of Kung Fu" will still be very popular at the box office in South Korea, I am afraid that there will not be the current results. According to the research and research of a boring related organization, in the four days after the release of "The King of Kung Fu" last week, there were about 80,000 or 90,000 viewers who entered the cinema purely to watch Zhang Chengyuan's performance.
After watching it, the Korean media and the audience's evaluation of Zhang Chengyuan is also quite high, and it is far higher than the evaluation of Zhang Chengyuan by the European and American media, and it is also higher than their evaluation of Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, the two international kung fu superstars, thinking that Zhang Chengyuan's performance in the film is actually better than Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, and also believes that this is the case in both literary drama and martial arts. At the same time, they also take it for granted that Jang Sung-won is South Korea's No. 1 kung fu superstar.
Of course, this is definitely because the Korean media and viewers like to put high hats on their own stars, so their evaluations are not very objective. However, no matter what, Jang Sung-won's popularity in South Korea during this period can be described as incomparable.
By the way. In the past two days, several South Korean reporters relayed these evaluations to Jang Sung-won in an interview. Zhang Chengyuan immediately said modestly: In addition to being younger and better than Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, the two eldest brothers, he has better appearance conditions. Far inferior to these two big brothers in every other way. However, he did not shirk the title of "South Korea's No. 1 Kung Fu Superstar" presented by the media, and made a tacit acquiescence.
Anyway, there is no real kung fu superstar in South Korea, and he is definitely not an artist star who can fight better, so he is not afraid of causing criticism, if someone is really unconvinced by him and wants to compete with him, he doesn't mind giving this person a profound lesson.
April 28 is also the first day of filming of "The Wind Painter" starring Zhang Chengyuan. The filming location was at the Korean Folk Village in Gyeonggi-do. That morning, Zhang Chengyuan asked the crew for half a day off because of a commercial catwalk that could not be pushed off, and did not arrive at the crew until noon and met with directors Jang Tae-yoo, Moon Geun-young and other members. Before that, that is, yesterday afternoon, because he was going to be a torchbearer, he couldn't get out of his body, and he also took half a day off, so he did not attend the meeting and script practice held by the crew yesterday afternoon.
In this way, the crew members' perception of Zhang Chengyuan can be imagined, and they all think that he is deliberately playing a big name. doesn't take others seriously, and even director Zhang Taiyun has a lot of criticism about him in his heart. feels that he is now famous, and his attitude towards acting is no longer as rigorous and serious as the legends in the industry in the past.
However, no matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, they don't dare to teach Zhang Chengyuan a lesson, even those old-timer artists. First, because Zhang Chengyuan's status in the TV industry is quite high now, and he is also the owner of a brokerage company, everyone has some scruples about his identity. The second is because Zhang Chengyuan's appearance and temperament are quite cold and arrogant, and he knows at a glance that he is not a person to be messed with, even if he has the courage to count him down, but as soon as he meets him face to face, all the words he wants to reprimand him will automatically be unable to speak.
In the entire crew, only Wen Genying dared to complain about Zhang Chengyuan in person. When he was taking a break after eating at noon, Wen Genying pulled Zhang Chengyuan aside and said angrily: "Brother Chengyuan, why do you keep asking for leave?" The new drama has just started, and you have taken two days off, and everyone is very dissatisfied with you! ”
Zhang Chengyuan said lightly: "I already know this." Although the crew members didn't dare to say anything to him in person, it was common to talk about a few words in private, and with Zhang Chengyuan's ears, they could naturally hear it clearly.
Wen Genying said unhappily: "Brother Cheng Yuan, you did something wrong, not only did you not apologize to everyone, but you didn't seem to take it very seriously?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan touched Wen Genying's head and said: "It's not that I don't take it to heart, and it's not that I don't want to apologize to them, but I feel that it's not time to apologize." In fact, he really didn't care much about this, but he was afraid of annoying Wen Genying even more, so he replied.
Wen Genying said puzzledly: "Why is it not the time to apologize for Dao Lu?" I don't understand. ”
Zhang Chengyuan smiled and said: "My qualifications are not very deep, and I came into this crew in place of Park Xinyang's predecessors, so everyone is afraid that they don't think much of me, well, maybe some people won't, but at least I think I'm much worse than Park Xinyang's predecessors." Therefore, if at this time, I bow my head and apologize to them, they will probably look down on me even more, and in this case, I will not have a good time in the crew in the future. ”
Wen Genying said suspiciously: "Brother, are you thinking too much, I see that everyone respects you quite much and is even a little afraid, how can they look down on you?" And I've never heard them say anything about despising you. ”
Zhang Chengyuan's specious words naturally made it difficult for her to believe it. She still felt that Zhang Chengyuan was too arrogant, so she didn't want to apologize to everyone. And she also feels that Zhang Chengyuan's arrogance has become heavier and heavier in recent years, and it is more unapproachable than before, and I don't know if it is because of his higher and higher fame and status?
Zhang Chengyuan said again: "Naturally, I won't say that now, but if I had smiled at them just now and sincerely and humbly apologized to them, then it might not be the case now." ”
Seeing that Zhang Chengyuan couldn't be persuaded by Wen Genying, he sighed slightly, and said helplessly: "Forget it, you can do whatever you want, I don't care about you." "A look of puff and puff.
Zhang Chengyuan patted her hand lightly and said with a smile: "What, are you angry with me?" ”
Wen Genying glanced at Zhang Chengyuan, lowered his head and said, "No, you didn't do anything to be sorry for me." ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "I still said no, I frowned." All right. Wait a few days. When they realized that my acting skills and performance in all aspects could be compared to Park Shinyang's predecessors, they were impressed with me. So I asked them to eat a good meal as an atonement for their sins. And in some days, um, eight days, eight days later, isn't it exactly your birthday? In this name, I invite the whole crew to get together, and I can celebrate it for you. ”
Wen Genying said happily: "Brother Cheng Yuan, do you want to celebrate my birthday this year?" "Although I have known Zhang Chengyuan for a long time. But Zhang Chengyuan has always had no concept of birthdays, and has never celebrated her birthday, just giving her gifts every time, so when she heard that Zhang Chengyuan wanted to hold a birthday party for her, she was pleasantly surprised.
Zhang Chengyuan nodded and said, "Well, there is this idea." ”
"And how are you going to celebrate me? Is there any special program? ”
"Do you want a special show?" Zhang Chengyuan frowned, embarrassed. He has never understood romance, and last time he celebrated Cheng Youli's birthday, but after thinking about it for many days, he came up with an idea of using a delta wing to take Cheng Youli to the sky, and now he has to come up with an ingenious method. Don't know how long you want to think?
Wen Genying said: "I heard that Xuanying said that you celebrated Sister Youli's birthday in the crew of "Quick Knife Hong Jitong" this year. But gliding in the night sky with her, I don't dare to compare with Sister Yori, but this time you give me a birthday, you have to prepare something special for me, right? Or do something that will make me remember it for the rest of my life. ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "Something special? Memories for a lifetime? I'm afraid it's very difficult, right? A thought suddenly flashed through his head, and then he put his mouth to Wen Genying's ear and whispered: "If it weren't for that night, the two of us would have stayed and flown together and become one, so that you would definitely be able to remember it for a lifetime." ”
Wen Genying was greatly embarrassed, glared at Zhang Chengyuan fiercely, slapped his hand a few more times, and said, "Brother! At this time, how can you say such things? If it's not serious, I'll be angry. I don't care, anyway, you have to think of something meaningful, otherwise I will ignore you and ignore you during the entire filming period! ”
Zhang Chengyuan smiled: "How is this possible? We had a lot to say when we were filming. ”
Wen Genying said angrily: "Then I will only talk to you when I am filming, and I won't say a word to you at other times, it just so happens that everyone doesn't like to talk to you, so you have nowhere to say anything, and I keep it in my stomach, which makes you uncomfortable." ”
Zhang Chengyuan chuckled and shook his head: "Your idea is really ruthless, okay, I'm afraid of you, I promise you." No one spoke to him, and to him, it was actually nothing, and he just wanted to make Moon Geunying happy.
Wen Genying immediately turned his anger into joy, looked at Zhang Chengyuan with a smile, and said: "You have to talk about it, you can't regret it!" ”
Zhang Chengyuan responded: "Never regret it!" ”
Although he answered neatly, he was very distressed in his heart, thinking about what to do to impress her and remember it for the rest of her life. It's just that this kind of fact is not what he is good at, he just thinks about it together with several Yuan Gods, and it is not something that can be figured out in a day or two, so he simply didn't want to think about it, and asked directly: "Gen Ying, do you have anything you particularly want, or something you particularly want to do?" ”
Wen Genying smiled and said: "Brother Cheng Yuan, I know that you want to get a hint from my answer, but I won't tell you, you must come up with an answer that satisfies me by yourself." And I can't think of it, otherwise I will definitely talk and stop talking to you. ”
Seeing her say this, Zhang Chengyuan had no choice but to say: "Okay, then I'll think about it hard, but don't give me such a problem in the future, otherwise I'm afraid that I will age for several years." ”
Wen Genying replied with a smile: "As long as you can satisfy me this time, then I will never make special requests to you in this kind of thing in the future." "I thought to myself, even if I can't make special requests to you for your birthday, I can make requests in other ways.
Zhang Chengyuan said: "That's good! Well, there's one thing I want to tell you. ”
"What's the matter?"
"In a few days, the girl from Xuanying will come to the crew for acting experience, and I will ask the assistant director to arrange a few small roles for her to play, so that she can accumulate some acting experience. However, I don't have a good relationship with the crew right now, so I want you to take her with me. ”
Wen Genying said without hesitation: "No problem! I'll take care of her. Now that she and Park Xuanying are quite good sisters, she is naturally very happy to be able to help Park Xuanying and have someone about her age to talk to her to relieve her boredom. Of course, the most important thing is because this is Zhang Chengyuan's entrustment. (To be continued......)
