Next, Jang Sung-won explained a few more words piecemeal, and then no longer talked about Lee Ji-eun's debut, but asked him about asking Lin Ji-so to contact DramaHouse, the production company of "The Painter of the Wind", for him and ask for the role of male number one.

Lin Zhixiu said: "Boss, I'm sorry, I haven't helped you win this role yet." ”

Jang Sung-won asked, "What is the reason?" Is it because I criticized a few words about the historical drama at the press conference of "Quick Knife Hong Jitong" last month, which made them have a bad impression? ”

Lin Zhixiu said: "This should not be the main reason. ”

"What is the reason for that?"

Lin Zhixiu said: "They seem to have other candidates, and they are in contact." ”

"Who is it?"

"Park Shin Yang!"

After hearing this name, Zhang Chengyuan couldn't help but be silent for a while, and then said for a long time: "It turned out to be this famous actor who is known as a ratings myth!" What a tough opponent. Jisoo, do you think I have a chance of winning? ”

Although the TV series starring Jang Sung-won has always been very good, and like Park Shin-yang, it is regarded as a guarantee of ratings, but Park Shin-yang once starred in a TV series "Paris Lovers" with a rating of more than 50%, which is not something Jang Sung-won can do. So compared with Park Shinyang, Jang Sung-won can't help but be dwarfed. And if you talk about the film and television awards won by the two, Zhang Chengyuan is even farther behind.

Lin Zhixiu said frankly: "I'm afraid it's difficult! As far as I know, the director of "The Painter of the Wind", Jang Tae-yo, is the director of the TV series "War of Money" starring Park Shinyang last year, and he has a very high evaluation of Park Shinyang and trusts him very much; And Lee Eun-young, the screenwriter of "The Painter of the Wind", is also said to have admired Park Shin-yang very much. ”

There is the appreciation of the director and screenwriter. Park Shin-yang wants to join "The Painter of the Wind". It's a breeze. On the contrary, the chances of Jang Sung-won playing the leading role are extremely low. However, the matter is not a foregone conclusion, and Zhang Chengyuan naturally will not give up immediately without thinking about it.

Jang Sung-won said: "There are only a few directors and screenwriters in South Korea who don't appreciate Park Shinyang's acting skills. I have to admit that I'm still too immature compared to Park Shinyang. Jisoo, help me analyze what aspects I will be stronger than Park Shinyang. ”

Lin Zhixiu said without thinking: "First of all, your appearance is much better than him. It should be more suitable for the image of Kim Hong-do, the actor of "The Painter of the Wind". According to records, Kim Hong-do has a handsome appearance, a lofty spirit, and an excellent image. ”

Zhang Chengyuan shook his head and said: "That is a record in the history books, but it may not be the setting of the script of "The Painter of the Wind", and with the audience's consistent good impression of Park Xinyang, I will never think that Park Xinyang will be awkward to play a very handsome role." ”

Lin Jisoo said: "Secondly, Park Shinyang is a little too old, and he is nineteen years behind the female lead Geun Young, and the two may be very incompatible when they stand together." ”

Zhang Chengyuan slowly bowed his head and said: "There is some truth to this, but with today's makeup techniques, this problem does not seem to be insurmountable." Even if it can't be completely overcome, it won't make the audience too disgusted. ”

Lin Zhixiu said: "Third. It's a matter of salary, his salary is much higher than yours, usually 50 million for an episode, 20 million higher than you, and it is even rumored that when Park Shinyang filmed the side story of "War of Money" last year, the salary for a total of 4 episodes reached 620 million won, and the average price was 50 million higher than Bae Yongjun's filming of "The Legend of the Four Gods". ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "His salary is 20 million higher than mine for an episode, which is nothing, and a drama is only 3 or 400 million more than me, with his appeal, the production company will definitely not take these hundreds of millions of small money in his eyes." However, his salary for filming an episode of "The War of Money" is more than 150 million, which is really sky-high in South Korea! I can't imagine that he and his agency are quite greedy! I'm afraid that his behavior of breaking the rules will cause public anger and cause big trouble! ”

After pondering for a while, he continued: "Maybe this matter can be the key for me to defeat Park Shinyang and get this role!" Well, Jisoo, has there been any media hype about this recently? ”

Lin Zhixiu said: "Not for the time being, because this news has not been officially confirmed." ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "Then pay a few media reporters to follow up and interview, find out the accurate news, and if the situation is true, it will be announced." ”

Lin Zhixiu hesitated: "Is it not good to do this?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "It's nothing bad, we didn't ask the reporter to make up nonsense and slander him, we just did an investigation first." If he hadn't been paid before, then our operation would have ended; If he really did this, then when we publish it, we are only announcing the facts, just like the media exposing the ugliness of society, is this also wrong? ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly sighed, and continued: "I also know that using this kind of off-the-plate trick to defeat Park Shinyang is a bit against morality and not very glorious, but for the sake of my promise to Gen Young, I can only do this." Because if I don't do this, I really don't know how Lu Dao will snatch this role from Park Shinyang's hands. If you use money to bribe or use special means to hypnotize the director and screenwriter, then I am afraid that it will be even worse! ”

Lin Zhixiu said: "Boss, you don't necessarily have to cooperate with Gen Ying in "The Painter of the Wind", if it doesn't work this time, then wait for the next time, I think Gen Ying will definitely understand you." ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "With her empathetic personality, of course she will understand me, but I don't want to disappoint her!" She is destined to suffer a lot of grievances when she follows me in this life, so I don't want to make her unhappy in this kind of thing that I can strive to do. ”

Lin Zhixiu sighed: "Boss, I understand, I will try my best to do this well." ”

Zhang Chengyuan sat on the sofa, his mood was suddenly a little bored, he waved his hand lightly, and said weakly: "Zhixiu, you go take a bath, I want to sit alone for a while and be quiet." He has always believed that although he is not a good person, he is by no means a despicable person, and the decision he made just now is really contrary to his consistent principles of life, so he is in a little uncomfortable now.

Lin Zhixiu glanced at Zhang Chengyuan worriedly, seeing that he was happy and distressed, and wanted to comfort him. But I don't know what to do. And I'm afraid that staying here by myself will make him even more upset. So I had to retreat as ordered and go to the bathroom in the bedroom to take a shower.

When she came out of the shower, she saw that Zhang Chengyuan was already lying on her bed waiting for her, and beckoned her to come over. Lin Zhixiu walked over slowly, sat on the edge of the bed, and then took the initiative to hug Zhang Chengyuan and gave him a fragrant kiss, as if he wanted to relieve the boredom in Zhang Chengyuan's heart with his enthusiasm.

Zhang Chengyuan naturally will not shirk her mind. He originally wanted to use sex to relieve his depression, so he kissed back passionately, and reached out to carry her to the bed, and turned over and pressed her under him. After a while, he let go of his mouth and said, "Jisoo, I'm a little irritable in my heart, maybe I'll be rude today, I hope you don't be weird!" ”

Lin Zhixiu nodded slightly, and then immediately kissed Zhang Chengyuan again.

What followed was a fierce love affair between men and women. It lasted more than an hour before it ended. After the end, Lin Jixiu was extremely tired. He was almost about to fall asleep, but Zhang Chengyuan's mood was still high, but the boredom in his heart disappeared a lot as he wished, and in addition, his mind suddenly sobered up.

He held Lin Zhixiu in his arms, thought quietly for a while, and suddenly said: "Zhixiu, I thought about it just now, and I think that my decision just now may not be very good, but I am afraid that it will affect my state of mind, and then affect my cultivation, so I plan to change my mind, and you don't have to find someone to check on Park Xinyang." ”

Lin Jixiu leaned his head on his chest, barely cheered up, and asked in a low voice, "Boss, if you can't take on this role, will you feel pity?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "It's a pity, but it can only be so." ”

Lin Jixiu asked again: "Then how are you going to explain to Gen Young?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "Just tell her that I can't compare to that Park Xinyang, as you just said, she will understand me, and may even comfort me in turn." ”

At this time, he thought to himself that he wanted to use Moon Geun Young as a reason to use despicable means to deal with Park Shin Yang, which was really undeserved, because the kind-hearted Moon Geun Young would never want him to do this.

Lin Zhixiu said: "Boss, the matter is not a foregone conclusion, maybe there will be a turnaround in the future, you don't have to give up so quickly, I will try to help you take over this role." ”

Zhang Chengyuan said casually: "You can just watch it, but if you can't do it, you don't have to force it." He thought that Lin Zhixiu's words were just to comfort him, so he didn't take it to heart.

However, Lin Jixiu's heart may have something else in mind.

……

In the morning, Zhang Chengyuan left and rushed to the crew of "Quick Knife Hong Jitong" to continue filming. At this time, this TV series has been filmed to the 12th episode, and the filming progress is quite smooth, and the quality of the shooting has also made the directors, screenwriters and leading actors very satisfied.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and on January 16, Jang Sung-won returned to Seoul for some promotional announcements, and this day was also the day when Girls' Generation recorded the two songs "If" and "Little Boat" for "Quick Knife Hong Ji Tong". After the announcement ended that night, Jang Sung-won specially invited the nine members of Girls' Generation to have dinner together.

The place to eat is still in the western restaurant downstairs of Zhang Chengyuan's company, because apart from this location, Zhang Chengyuan can't think of a more suitable venue for him to gather and eat with the members of Girls' Generation for the time being.

At nine o'clock that night, the girls who had been busy all day appeared in the VIP room of Zhang Chengyuan's restaurant, and the whole room was almost full. After an intimate greeting, Jang Sung-won sat down with the girls and began to eat dinner. For this meal, although the girls were already feeling hungry, they only ate some snacks at six o'clock to pad their stomachs, and then endured until now.

Of course, they didn't think that the food in Zhang Chengyuan's restaurant was so delicious that it was worth their hunger, but that it was rare for Zhang Chengyuan to invite them to eat, and they couldn't go after they were full, otherwise, when eating with Zhang Chengyuan, if they couldn't swallow it, it would be too rude. With this in mind, they would rather starve.

However, among several girls, there is an exception, that is, Zheng Xiuyan, because she knows that Zhang Chengyuan will not care about these little things at all. So, before she came, she had eaten a lot, and when she came, because her stomach was still quite full, she just ate a few bites casually and stopped eating.

After a while, when Zhang Chengyuan had almost eaten, she asked Zhang Chengyuan to find a quiet place to talk to her alone. Although Zhang Chengyuan was a little surprised, he happened to have something to talk to her, so he agreed. (To be continued......)
