Two days later, on February 4, all preparations for the music TV short series "Precious Promise" starring Lee Hyo-ri, Jang Sung-won and Jung Jun-ho were ready and began to enter the stage of official filming.

The short drama "Precious Promise", if summed up in one sentence, is about a pair of terminally ill men and women who meet and fall in love unexpectedly, and finally end in death. It can be said that the storyline of this drama is not distinctive, but the investment in this TV short drama is quite huge, and the broadcast volume of up to 4 episodes has invested 3.7 billion won, and the average cost per episode is 925 million.

One of the biggest expenses was setting up the filming set. For example, there is a scene where the protagonist is buried in the rubble of a collapsed department store, which costs 350 million won, and some other scenes are also expensive, which is quite a kind of movie-making situation.

And the second relatively large expense is the remuneration of the actors. Zhang Chengyuan didn't know how much other people would get, and he didn't inquire, but he thought that Lee Hyo-ri and Jung Jun-ho would not get less than him, and even if it was less, it wouldn't be less. Jang Sung-won himself took a total of 120 million won, with an average of 30 million per episode, much higher than his previous worth of 20 million per episode.

However, with a salary of 30 million per episode, he doesn't feel uneasy, because in recent years, the salary of actors has risen greatly, and 10 million per episode in the first two years is a high salary at the level of top stars, but now most of the top stars' salaries are more than 25 million, and a few have reached 50 million, such as Park Shinyang. And even higher than him is Bae Yongjun, it is said that he took over the filming of "The Legend of the Four Gods of the Prince" this year, and the salary for each episode is 100 million won, and there are also income dividends outside the sea drama, which is really staggering!

Since everyone else has reached such a high level, it is natural for Zhang Chengyuan to take 30 million, how to say that he is now also one of the top popular actors, and the TV series he starred in has reached more than 20% of the ratings except for the SBS reversal drama.

It's just that this time it is estimated that an exception will be made, because Zhang Chengyuan thinks that the plot of "Precious Promise" is really lacking in novelty, although his appeal is very high, but he is afraid that he will not be able to increase the ratings to more than 20%. And Lee Hyori, although her popularity and audience appeal are not inferior to Zhang Chengyuan and even sometimes surpass, but her appeal is mainly reflected in the two major aspects of the song industry and TV variety shows, in terms of TV series, due to the fiasco of "Clover" starring two years ago, most of the audience thinks that her acting skills are very average, where is the appeal? Perhaps only some of her loyal fans and a small group of viewers who are curious about the changes in her acting skills will come to watch this TV series because of her.

"Precious Promise" started filming on February 4, and Ji Lu planned to finish it before March, and it was broadcast on SBS TV on March 23, and it was a two-episode simulcast, which was broadcast in one night. And the original four episodes will be cut into two episodes by the TV station for broadcast. After knowing the news, Zhang Chengyuan is even more optimistic about the prospects of this drama, because even a good movie or a good TV series will often become very mediocre after being cut largely, not to mention that this TV series that is not very good in the first place, after half of the scenes are deleted, how far will its quality drop? I'm afraid that some of the before and after plots may not be coherent, which will make the audience confused.

But as he thought before, it's just a skit anyway, even if the ratings and evaluations are not high, it won't have a substantial impact on his popularity and reputation, so he doesn't bother to worry about it, just filming with peace of mind, and enjoying the fun of seeing Lee Hyo-ri and working with her almost every day.

At eight o'clock that night, after the filming ended, because Lee Hyo-ri had another announcement, Jang Sung-won drove back alone. When he returned to the apartment, he unexpectedly saw Yoon Eun-hye, who was lying on the living room couch, watching TV and drinking tea, apparently waiting for him to come home.

After seeing Jang Sung-won, Yoon Eun-hye greeted him, but he lazily did not move and did not stand up to salute.

Zhang Chengyuan changed his shoes, walked to her side and sat down, and said, "It's getting more and more rude, I don't bow when I see my brother!" ”

Yin Enhui said: "Brother Cheng Yuan, didn't you say that you hate red tape the most, so let me not bow and salute when there are only the two of us in the future?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan let out an "oh" and said, "I seem to have said that." Poured a cup of Yin Enhui's tea, drank it, and almost spit it out, but suddenly remembered that this tea and this water were all raised by him with true temperature, and it was a pity to vomit, so he had to swallow it reluctantly, and then reproached slightly: "Enhui, how did you make the tea, why is it so unpleasant?" ”

Yin Enhui was puzzled and said, "Is it unpleasant?" I think the tea I brewed was much better than the tea I drank in the tea restaurant, and it was warm and comfortable after drinking it. ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "That's because my tea is good!" Don't make any more tea in the future, lest you waste my good tea. If you want to drink it, just let me know and I'll make it for you. Otherwise, you will learn the art of tea with me, just like Jihyun. ”

Yin Enhui shook his head and said, "Excuse me, I'd better learn how to make coffee first, and the next TV series may have to be used." ”

Zhang Chengyuan's heart moved and said: "So, you have already promised to star in "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop"? ”

Yoon Eun-hye said: "Director Lee Yoon-jung said that you specially recommended me to the crew, how could I refuse?" However, whether I can play the role of Gao Eunchan or not, the crew has not yet been decided, and it depends on my future performance!"

Zhang Chengyuan said: "Don't be embarrassed to refuse just because it's my recommendation." Even if you refuse, I can't be angry! ”

Yin Enhui said: "I know this! But compared to my own feelings, I trust your vision more, and you are willing to invest 3 billion in this drama, which shows that this drama is really good and will be a great success in the future. Moreover, I also feel that the role of Ko Eun-chan is very interesting and challenging, so I want to take on this role, and it is not all because of you.

Zhang Chengyuan said with relief: "That's good!" He didn't want to see Yoon Eun-hye take on this drama because of him, and his sisters should have their own opinions and abilities, not his appendages and echo worms. Of course, the exception is love, and if they want to fall in love with someone else, they must first get his consent.

Yin Enhui said: "Brother Cheng Yuan, I came to you this time, in addition to coming to see you, the main reason is to ask you for a favor!" ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "If you have something, just say it!" Can I still promise you? ”

Yin Enhui smiled: "This request is a bit absurd, you can't laugh at me after hearing it!" ”

Zhang Chengyuan agreed: "I don't laugh!" ”

Yin Enhui said: "I want to learn to be a man with you!" ”

Zhang Chengyuan was stunned for a moment, and then Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled and said: "You want to learn to be a man?" ”

Yin Enhui pinched the flesh on Zhang Chengyuan's arm and said nonchalantly: "You said you wouldn't laugh at me!" ”

Zhang Chengyuan hurriedly said with a straight face: "Yes, yes!" I stopped laughing. It's just that why do you want to learn to be a man, could it be that you fell in love with a very beautiful woman? Although he roughly guessed the reason why Yoon Eun-hye did this, he still couldn't help but want to make a joke about her, and no matter how he thought about it, he felt that Yoon Eun-hye's decision to "learn to be a man" was really a bit funny.

Yin Enhui said: "You are in love with a woman!" Oh no, you love women in the first place, and this won't work for you, well, forget it, I'm not going to talk about that. Brother Cheng Yuan, the reason why I want to learn to be a man is because I want to play the role of Gao Eunchan well. She's a girl who makes people think she's a boy at first glance, and I don't know what a girl like Lu Dao looks like now, and I don't think I know how to play this role well. ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "Then you shouldn't look for me as a man!" Don't you think that a girl's speech, behavior, and expression are like mine, will the sun be just strong, and it will be too weird? Although Ko Eun-chan looks like a boy in some places, he is still very feminine in some aspects. I think you're looking for the wrong person. ”

He has always considered himself to be the most standard man, whether it is the body, appearance, tone of voice, walking posture, subtle manners, and mind measurements, it is full of masculinity and masculinity. If Yoon Eun-hye learns too much from him, I'm afraid that it will be too much and will not fit Gao Euncan's neutral beauty.

Yin Enhui said: "I don't want to learn from you to learn ten out of ten, and it is impossible to learn ten out of ten at all, I just need to learn from your manhood one or two achievements!" Brother Cheng Yuan, do you agree? If I don't agree, I'll go to other men for help and stay by his side every day to observe him! The last sentence is that she just wants to force Zhang Chengyuan, if Zhang Chengyuan really doesn't agree, she won't go to other men for help, at most, she usually goes to a crowded occasion to observe more men.

In Zhang Chengyuan's heart, Yin Enhui is already one of the women he identifies, although he has not launched a too enthusiastic offensive against her in consideration of her own wishes, but he will never allow her to like other men, nor will he let her get close to a specific man, so when he heard Yin Enhui say this, he immediately changed his words: "Who said I wouldn't agree?" Grace, you can only find me for this kind of thing, understand? ”

Yin Enhui snorted and said with a smile: "Since Brother Cheng Yuan has agreed, then I will move to you tomorrow!" ”

Zhang Chengyuan was taken aback: "You want to move to me?" For what? ”

Yin Enhui said: "Brother Cheng Yuan, not only do I want to live here, but I will also try to follow you and observe you when there is no announcement." Because I have to figure out the role of Gao Eunchan in the shortest possible time, after twenty days, the director, screenwriter and others will let me audition for this role, and if I can't satisfy them, then I can only quit! Brother Cheng Yuan, you must help me! ”

With Yoon Eun-hye's popularity and acting skills at this time, if it weren't for the fact that the role of Ko Eun-chan was too important, the crew would not have asked her to participate in this audition. But now that she's decided to participate in this audition, she wants to do her best! And learning to be a man from Zhang Chengyuan is the best shortcut. Because he is her most trusted brother, she can follow Zhang Chengyuan all day long, eat and live with him, and observe Zhang Chengyuan's every move in detail, so as to figure out the role of Gao Euncan faster.

Zhang Chengyuan pondered for a while and said, "You can live if you want, and follow if you want!" But I can tell you, if you see any embarrassing scenes, don't blame me! ”

Yin Enhui said: "Don't worry, I won't disturb you and make love with women, and when you do that kind of thing, I will avoid it immediately." ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "By the way, if you move out, will your family be worried?" ”

Yin Enhui said: "I told my family that Sister Huibin was too tired from filming during this time and needed to be taken care of, so I stayed at her house to take care of her for a while. I also told Sister Huibin about this, and she promised to lie for me! At this time, Jun Hye-bin took over the filming of a TV series "Witch Youxi", in which she played the second female lead.

Zhang Chengyuan smiled: "You cunning girl, you can think of such an excuse!" After thinking about it, he suddenly felt a little bad and asked, "You told Huibin about your plan to move to me?" ”

"Got it."

"Huibin, how does she react?" Zhang Chengyuan asked again.

"Sister Huibin didn't say anything! He didn't get angry and told me to work hard. ”

Zhang Chengyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good!" "I thought to myself, as long as Jun Hye-bin loves her all the time, it's not a matter of whether anything will happen between him and Yoon Eun-hye, maybe she is too infatuated and loves him too much.

Moreover, in Jun Hye-bin's opinion, Yoon Eun-hye is clearly pretending to become Jang Sung-won's woman sooner or later, if something intimate really happens these days, it will not be a big deal.

After sitting for a while, Yin Enhui said goodbye, Zhang Chengyuan grabbed her, held her in his arms, and said: "What are you going to go, I haven't hugged you like this for a long time, you stay tonight and let me hug you for a night!" ”

Yin Enhui refused: "No, Brother Cheng Yuan, your control ability is getting worse and worse, I'm afraid that one day you will force me to be forced, then I don't know how to face you at that time, and you still don't want to sleep with me in the future." ”

Zhang Chengyuan sighed: "I would have asked you to be my woman earlier, but you didn't want to!" ”

Yin Eunhui said: "I don't want Sister Li Zhen, Sister Huibin, well, and your other women to be sad." We'll keep doing it. ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "Since you insist, then let's do it for the time being, I believe you will change your mind in the future." Also, I emphasize once again that if you ever had a man in your life, it would have to be me! ”

Yin Enhui said: "Well, I know the way! Suddenly she heard the sound of someone opening the door, she hurriedly got up from Zhang Chengyuan, quickly tidied up her clothes, and sat on the sofa as usual.

It was Jun Hye-bin who came in, and she was not surprised at all when she saw that Yoon Eun-hye was also there, she smiled and said hello to Yoon Eun-hye, and then walked up to Jang Sung-won, sat straight on his lap, put her arms around his neck, and kissed him passionately a few times. Anyway, Yin Enhui knows everything about her and Zhang Chengyuan, and even understands every detail very clearly, so she is not afraid to make love to Zhang Chengyuan in front of Yin Eunhui. Compared with the tender face when she was not with Zhang Chengyuan before, she has a much thicker skin at this time.

And Zhang Chengyuan's face is obviously thicker, so he naturally doesn't feel ashamed, and kisses Jun Huibin passionately.

Yin Enhui shyly avoided his face and said, "Brother Cheng Yuan, Sister Huibin, I won't bother you, let's go first!" In this case, she couldn't stay still. was just about to stand up, but Zhang Chengyuan pressed his shoulder with his right hand, only to hear him say: "Enhui, you want to live with me in the future, this kind of thing should be used to it earlier!" ”

Yin Enhui didn't dare to look at Zhang Chengyuan, and said, "I'll get used to it tomorrow!" He bent down, lowered his body, broke free of Zhang Chengyuan's palm, and then ran to the door in a puff of smoke, changed his shoes in a panic and ran, even forgetting to close the door.

Zhang Chengyuan let out a true qi, closed the door in the air, and then lowered his head and said to Quan Huibin: "Now that Enhui is gone, then let's start what we need to do tonight!" ”

Quan Huibin blushed and said, "Then you lighten up, don't do it for too long, otherwise I will be killed by you." ”

After that, Zhang Chengyuan hugged Quan Huibin and walked to the bedroom.
