In the early morning of May 13, when Zhang Chengyuan and Wen Genying came to the filming set of "The Painter of the Wind" from a nearby hotel, preparing to start the day's filming work as usual, he unexpectedly heard a shocking news from the conversation of the crew members: Yesterday afternoon, a major earthquake occurred in Xichuan Province in southwest China that shocked China and foreign countries, causing extremely huge damage, whether it was economic losses or casualties.

Perhaps in the eyes of most Koreans, this matter is just a conversation that can cause widespread discussion, and at this time, the members of the entire crew are almost busy talking about this topic, except for a little pity in the semantics, they do not feel sad, after all, for them, this matter has nothing to do with them.

But Zhang Chengyuan was so frightened that he could hardly think at this time, he couldn't believe that this kind of thing could happen, he was stunned for most of the time before he came to his senses a little, and then hurriedly called Lin Zhixiu to ask her to verify the truth of the matter.

When this was confirmed, he could no longer remain calm, and his face was pale and his expression was very ugly; His legs were weak, and he almost sat on the ground; His chest was blocked, and he seemed to be out of breath, and he felt so angry and sad that he wanted to scream but couldn't.

He has always felt that he is a descendant of Yan and Huang in his heart, regards China as his homeland, and regards the Chinese as his compatriots, because he cannot openly say that he is a Chinese, his feelings for China are much deeper than ordinary Chinese, so after hearing that the people of Xichuan have suffered heavy casualties, he will be indignant and sad.

And if the Koreans encounter such a catastrophe. As long as it doesn't involve his relatives and friends. He was afraid that there would not be such a big reaction. Of course. After all, after staying in South Korea for so many years, he may have some feelings for South Korea, and he may have a little pity, and then donate tens of millions of won to express his heart.

Wen Genying looked at Zhang Chengyuan's abnormal appearance at this time, and was very worried, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Chengyuan, what's wrong with you, are you not feeling well?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan came back to his senses slightly. glanced at Wen Genying lightly, there was no brilliance in his eyes, and he said blankly: "It's okay, I'm fine." He walked forward, but almost fell on his head.

Since knowing Zhang Chengyuan, Wen Genying He has seen Zhang Chengyuan so listless, he has always been energetic, even if he doesn't sleep for three days and three nights, he can still shoot smoothly and locally, and she is even more worried at the moment. hurriedly stepped forward two steps to support Zhang Chengyuan, and suddenly found it. Zhang Chengyuan didn't even seem to be able to stand, most of the weight of her body was pressed on her shoulders, if she hadn't used all her strength to resist him in time, I was afraid that she and Zhang Chengyuan would have fallen to the ground.

She hurriedly called two passing staff members and asked them to help help Zhang Chengyuan to a stone bench on the side.

Zhang Chengyuan sat down, sobered up a little, thanked the two staff members, and then let them leave, he didn't want people to see him lose his soul now.

Wen Genying said: "You seem to be really sick, I ask the director to send someone to send you to the hospital, right?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan shook his head and said: "I'm not sick, I'm just restless, and I'll be fine after sitting for a while!" Don't worry. ”

Wen Genying didn't persuade again, sat next to Zhang Chengyuan, leaned tightly, grabbed one of his hands and shook it hard, and said, "Then I'll sit here with you!" It seems that he feels that doing so can bring Zhang Chengyuan some spiritual strength.

Zhang Chengyuan felt her heart, and suddenly felt a lot better, and said softly: "Genying, thank you!" ”

Wen Genying smiled slightly: "What is this?" When I'm uncomfortable, don't you stay with me? ”

Zhang Chengyuan smiled at her, and then fell silent again, his eyes turned to the front of Lu's right, that is, the southwest direction, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Maybe the picture of Zhang Chengyuan being supported just now was seen, and then it was relayed to the director Zhang Taiyun, and soon after, Zhang Taiyun walked towards Zhang Chengyuan quickly. Although his current relationship with Zhang Chengyuan is only average, Zhang Chengyuan is the male lead of this drama after all, and it is related to the success or failure of this TV series, so he can't help but care.

In addition, through the filming of the past few days, he found that Zhang Chengyuan's acting skills are indeed outstanding, not inferior to Park Xinyang, and the ancient costume looks magnificent, graceful, far more suitable than Park Xinyang, and much more eye-catching, in addition, he is also quite proficient in brush calligraphy and traditional oriental painting skills, and even not inferior to those professor-level Oriental painters. With such conditions, he naturally felt that Zhang Chengyuan was the best candidate for the male number one in this TV series, and he valued it a lot, so when he heard that Zhang Chengyuan was sick, he immediately rushed over to understand the situation.

Facing Mrs. Zhang's concerned inquiry, Zhang Chengyuan said a little apologetically: "Director Zhang, I can't stand you this time, I want to ask you for leave!" ”

Zhang Taiyun said considerately: "If you are not feeling well, it is normal to take a few days off, you can recuperate with peace of mind." ”

Zhang Chengyuan shook his head and said: "It's not that I'm sick, but I'm in a little bit of a mental condition." Now, my mind is confused, and I can't film at all, I'm afraid that I won't be able to film anymore until I solve this heart disease. That's why I'm going to ask you for a leave of absence, and it's not for a short time. ”

Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Then you need to take a few days off?" Although he was very curious about what Zhang Chengyuan's heart disease was, out of respect for the privacy of others, he did not ask after all.

Zhang Chengyuan thought for a while and replied, "It may take about ten to fifteen days." ”

"Fifteen days, so long?" Mrs. Zhang was taken aback.

Zhang Chengyuan said: "I'm sorry, but for personal reasons, I have to ask you for such a long leave, if you think it will affect the filming progress, then change me, I will definitely not have any complaints, in addition, I am willing to compensate for the related losses." ”

Seeing that Zhang Chengyuan seemed to be determined to take a long vacation, and even said that he wanted to quit the crew, Zhang Taiyun, who originally wanted to persuade him, immediately planned to persuade and said: "Okay, then I will approve your fifteen-day vacation." Hopefully you'll be back in time. ”

Although he was a little dissatisfied with Jang Sung-won's almost threatening attitude. But considering that the disadvantage of changing corners at this time is greater. had no choice but to agree to Zhang Chengyuan's request. After all, it is too difficult to temporarily find an excellent actor who can completely replace Zhang Chengyuan.

Zhang Chengyuan thanked him again, and then promised: "I will definitely return to the crew within half a month." And when I come back, I will do my best to make up for the scenes I owe as soon as possible. ”

After saying that he asked for leave, Jang Sung-won was in better spirits, and immediately said goodbye to Jang Tae-yo, Moon Geun-young and others, and then asked his assistant Kim Yu-gi to drive him back to Seoul.

A few hours later, he returned to Seoul. I immediately went to Lin Zhixiu's office to find her and ask her about the latest situation of the Xichuan earthquake in China.

It's just that the South Korean media and the Internet are not comprehensive about the earthquake in China, so Lin Zhixiu doesn't know much, so Zhang Chengyuan went directly to the Internet to open the Chinese government website and several major websites such as Xinlang and Sohu to check the updated and more detailed developments in the disaster area. At the same time, he asked Lim Ji-so to learn about the response of relevant departments and civil society groups in South Korea to this major disaster, to see if there is some financial and operational support, and if so, he also wants to contribute his own strength.

After understanding the general situation, Zhang Chengyuan's mood became even more uncomfortable. Because the situation after the earthquake seemed to be worse than he expected, there was silence for a while. He suddenly said to Lin Zhixiu, who was still searching for relevant information on the Internet: "Zhixiu, I want to rush to Xichuan, China, to see the scene of the earthquake disaster." You help me think, how can I get there as quickly as possible? In the morning, he had this idea, otherwise he would not have asked director Zhang Taiyun for more than ten days off.

Lin Zhixiu was stunned and said, "Boss, what are you doing there?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "With my ability, if I can get there as soon as possible, maybe I can rescue more people who are buried under the rubble and have not died." "With his senses, he can easily search for people buried in the depths, which will definitely help the search and rescue efforts.

Lin Zhixiu persuaded: "Boss, it is said that it is still not very safe there, so you better not go!" ”

As a South Korean, although the tragic situation of the Chinese victims made her feel a little sympathetic, it certainly did not touch her heart too much, so she naturally did not want to see her man take risks for the Chinese disaster victims. At this time, there were still aftershocks in the disaster area, and although Zhang Chengyuan was very capable, it was difficult to guarantee that his life would not be in danger.

Zhang Chengyuan sighed: "You can't understand my current mood, don't persuade me, I have to go this time!" You can help me figure it out. ”

If he is a Chinese national, he will naturally go if he wants, but now that he is a Korean national, it is not so easy to enter the earthquake area where the traffic conditions of roads, railways, and airlines have deteriorated and emergency rescue and disaster relief is being carried out. You can't say it's a trip there, right? Moreover, he is not a medical worker or a search and rescue worker, even if he wants to apply to be a disaster relief volunteer, he is afraid that the Chinese side will think that he is here to cause chaos and refuse to approve it, after all, ordinary volunteers, China has.

Lin Zhixiu sighed, knowing that he couldn't persuade Zhang Chengyuan, who had already made up his mind, he stopped persuading him, and seriously helped him think about a way to enter the disaster area, but how could she come up with a way for a while.

When Lin Zhixiu was thinking of a way, Zhang Chengyuan called Cheng Long. As soon as Cheng Long heard his thoughts, he said: "The traffic situation there is very bad now, and almost all the planes and vehicles that can be used are used to rush professionals and emergency supplies, even if I want to rush there, I will have to wait a few more days, so I can't help you." Cheng Yuan, it's good that you have this heart, you can donate more money, you don't have to rush there, if you really want to go, wait for the situation to improve in a few days, and then I will find a way to take you in. ”

Zhang Chengyuan thanked him for a few words, then hung up the phone and pondered again.

After a long time, Lin Zhixiu suddenly looked at the computer screen and said: "Boss, here is the latest news from the government, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wen Taiyi said: 'In order to help the recovery and reconstruction of China's earthquake-stricken areas, emergency aid materials, 41 rescuers and more than 20 medical personnel are ready to go, and the specific assistance time will be determined after consultation with the Chinese government in the near future. Maybe we can get to the earthquake zone in China through this route. ”

Zhang Chengyuan immediately flashed to Lin Zhixiu's side, looked at it quickly, and after reading it, he said: "What else do you have to negotiate here, saving people is like fighting fire, if you go to save it earlier, you may save one more life, since you are ready, you should go immediately." ”

Lin Zhixiu said: "Things between countries are not so simple, if the Chinese government does not send disaster relief invitations to other countries, other countries will not be able to go even if they want to." ”

Zhang Chengyuan sighed: "Maybe the Huaxia government also has its own considerations, or maybe they feel that the environment in the disaster area is too bad at this time, and it is inconvenient to let foreign rescue teams in." Perhaps, with China's manpower and material resources, there is no need for foreign personnel to participate in the rescue, after all, the personnel that other countries can send are extremely limited. But if that's the case, then I won't be able to get in. ”

At this time, Zhang Chengyuan began to worry that China would not ask for foreign help, so he had no chance to go to the earthquake-stricken area.

Lin Zhixiu said: "If you can do more, you may save one more person, and they will definitely not ask for help, so boss, you should prepare early." ”

Zhang Chengyuan nodded and said: "Take precautions for everything, whether the Huaxia government asks for help or not, I should be prepared first." I'm going to look for ...... right now Well, let's go find a few weighty officials and ask them to help me enter the rescue team this time. ”

Lin Zhixiu said: "Boss, will they be willing to help you?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan sneered slightly: "Of course they won't be willing, but I will make them willing, and they will forget everything afterwards." Although he has never been very fond of using special methods on ordinary people, in this situation, he can't care about it, of course, in the process, he will try not to hurt everyone involved.
