On September 23, Zhang Chengyuan arrived in Paris, France, to meet the film crew of "Rush Hour 3", and after waiting for more than a month, he finally waited for the crew's notice. In this regard, Park Byungyeol complained, you must know that Jang Sung-won at this time is a money-making machine, and after it starts, it is no problem to earn a net profit of 200 or 300 million won a month for the company, but because he is waiting for news from Hollywood, he does not dare to accept the notice at will, so that the company has made at least three-fifths less profit in more than a month, how can he not be angry?

Zhang Chengyuan is also dissatisfied, extremely disdainful of Hollywood's bullshit efficiency, and thinks that if it goes on like this, maybe this movie will not be filmed until next year, which will seriously affect his work plan for the second half of the year and the first half of next year, at least this year there will be absolutely no time to shoot a TV series. I wonder if this will affect his popularity in South Korea? Thinking about it like this, he is inevitably a little resentful, but he is still a little reserved, unlike Park Byungyeol who is so angry that he hides in the office and scolds, he is just slandering.

came out of the Paris airport, found the crew who came to pick him up, and followed him to the hotel where the film crew stayed, and then Zhang Chengyuan met Cheng Long, Chris Tucker and director Brett Ratner and others, and after greetings, he temporarily went to the room that had been booked to rest. However, it was not that Zhang Chengyuan felt very tired and wanted to rest, but that the director and others felt that he should be very tired after a long journey, and took the initiative to ask him to rest, so as not to affect tomorrow's work. For their kindness, Zhang Chengyuan did not refuse.

The room that the film crew ordered for Zhang Chengyuan was a rather high-end suite, which was more spacious than the room he stayed in when he traveled to Hong Kong, and the decoration was more luxurious and fashionable, which made him secretly speechless, thinking that he was just a supporting role and had such treatment, so wouldn't the rooms of Cheng Long and Chris Tucker be more upscale?

Later, he learned from Cheng Long's mouth that the room where Cheng Long lived cost more than 3,000 dollars a night, and after hearing it, he had to marvel at the Hollywood crew's generosity: "What a loser!" ”

made Zhang Chengyuan feel that the Hollywood crew's loser behavior, not only this, but also in filming, a few days later, the film crew rented the Eiffel Tower for filming. The rent for a night is about 500,000 euros, but director Brett Ratner only shoots two or three shots a night, and the rest of the time lets the actors audition on the tower. And it's not a matter of one or two days, but almost half a month.

In this regard, Cheng Long also felt a pity, and when he talked about this matter with Zhang Chengyuan in private, he lamented that the money from renting the Eiffel Tower was enough for Hong Kong filmmakers to make several low-budget films.

………………

Zhang Chengyuan lay in the room for a while, watched TV for a few hours, and learned some French by the way, and then it was time for dinner, and then received a notice from the crew to let him eat in the restaurant on the second floor of the hotel. When he arrived at the restaurant, Zhang Chengyuan saw a few fresh faces again, guessing that it should be other actors who had just arrived at the film crew, and he didn't care much about it, so he walked over and greeted everyone politely and implicitly, regardless of whether he knew him or not. Then he was called to Chris Tucker's side.

Chris Tucker said: "Hey, Asian brother, I haven't seen you for more than a month, have you missed me as an old friend?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan was not very disgusted by Chris Tucker's familiar words, and responded: "Of course I think so, man, you seem to be in good spirits!" ”

Chris Tucker said: "Of course, don't think I'm not as good as Jackie (Cheng Long), but my body is much better than him!" This may be true, Cheng Long is in his early fifties, because of filming, almost every part of his body has been injured, and it is normal for his body to be not as strong as this black man.

chatted with him for a few words, and performed a trick of sucking out the red wine cork with his empty hands to show him, and then walked to Cheng Long's side and said, "Big brother, is there something wrong with me?" Before, Cheng Long beckoned him over.

Hearing his extremely standard Chinese accent, a young woman with an eastern face next to Cheng Long couldn't help but look at him in amazement.

Cheng Long pointed to the woman next to him and said, "I would like to introduce you to a famous actress from Chinese mainland, Zhang Jingchu, who plays Su Yang, the daughter of the Chinese ambassador in this film." ”

Then he pointed to Zhang Chengyuan and said to Zhang Jingchu: "This is Zhang Chengyuan, from South Korea, mixed Korean and Chinese, ancestral Chinese, family history, very familiar with ancient Chinese culture, and very good at Chinese kung fu ......"

Cheng Long obviously loves Zhang Chengyuan very much, and when he introduced it, he praised him again and again, which made a thick-skinned guy like Zhang Chengyuan blush.

After he finished his introduction, Zhang Chengyuan nodded to Zhang Jingchu and said, "Miss Zhang, it's a pleasure to meet you, please take care of me in the future!" ”

Zhang Jingchu said: "Well, hello, I am Zhang Jingchu, from China, please take care of me." He stretched out his hand and shook it with Zhang Chengyuan.

Zhang Chengyuan felt that she was a little nervous, and seemed to be very unsociable, and her personality should belong to the quiet and shy type.

Cheng Long said: "You two are both surnamed Zhang, maybe they were one family five hundred years ago, so you don't have to be too polite!" ”

Zhang Chengyuan nodded, feeling that he was very reasonable, thinking that even if it was not five hundred years ago, then a thousand years ago or two thousand years ago, maybe it was! I couldn't help but feel a little close. In this foreign country, they are both of Chinese blood, and they should have been close to each other.

For Jang Sung-won, this was his first time dealing with a Chinese actress. In his initial impression, Zhang Jingchu looks good, but it is not the type of Kim Tae-hee that is stunning and unforgettable at first glance, and the temperament is very different from all the sisters he knows, without the glitz of the city, it seems very simple, perhaps this temperament can only be seen in some Chinese women.

In Zhang Jingchu's eyes, Zhang Chengyuan is a very outstanding and peculiar person, masculine and handsome, burly and tall, I am afraid that all Oriental people will be impressed and even unforgettable when they see him. His temperament is graceful and calm, with a majestic atmosphere, and he seems to be not born in a small country like South Korea, but from a big family with a long cultural heritage. In addition, she keenly felt that Zhang Chengyuan had a heartfelt pride under his modest appearance, which can be seen from the equal and even a little overlooking demeanor when he communicated with the American actor just now, of course, this kind of demeanor is difficult for ordinary people to feel.

Zhang Jingchu didn't know why she felt this way, maybe it was just a woman's intuition. On the whole, she still has a very good impression of Zhang Chengyuan, especially when she makes eye contact with him, she suddenly feels that he should be a sincere and sincere person, not the kind of hypocritical person, and at the same time, she can't be wary of Zhang Chengyuan at all, and even forgets that he is a Korean, and only regards him as a Chinese compatriot.

At the moment, under the guidance of Cheng Long, the three of them were talking lively while eating. In the small talk, Zhang Chengyuan and Zhang Jingchu also began to gradually get closer, and unconsciously became commensurate with sisters and brothers.

……

The next day, before the official start, Cheng Long asked Zhang Chengyuan and Zhang Jingchu to go shopping together to enjoy the customs of the French city and the leisurely life. However, he didn't want to match Zhang Chengyuan and Zhang Jingchu, after all, he knew that Zhang Chengyuan already had a girlfriend, and his relationship with Zhang Jingchu was just average for the time being. He did this just to let the two of them go out to relax and adjust their emotions, so that they could have a better mental state to devote themselves to future shooting.

And the scenery of Paris is indeed beautiful and extraordinary, since you have visited, it would be a pity if you did not go out to visit! Out of this consideration, Zhang Chengyuan and Zhang Jingchu followed Cheng Long's proposal and traveled together, anyway, no one knew them in France, and they were not afraid of being disturbed. In addition, even if they were accidentally captured by a Chinese or South Korean journalist who came to France to collect news and then publicize it, the two were not afraid, because they were indeed just traveling together and doing nothing else.

The first time I went to Paris, I didn't go to the Champs-Élysées, the most famous and beautiful street in Paris, maybe I would come to Paris for nothing. Starting from Place Charles de Gaulle at the western end, after viewing the Arc de Triomphe and other views, the two walked east along the Champs-Élysées, which was almost effortless because of the terrain high in the west and low in the east.

The Champs-Élysées is very wide, 100 meters wide, not only the lanes are wide, but the sidewalks are also very wide, and the parallel ten or twenty people will not feel crowded. The streets are bustling with people, and they look very lively, but they are also very quiet. A little observation shows that the expressions of the people are very leisurely, unhurried, and there is no sense of busyness and urgency like other international metropolises, so it is easy to feel a laid-back atmosphere, coupled with the surrounding quaint and beautiful buildings and various beautiful landscapes, so that the two of them have the illusion that they are not living in modern times but hundreds of years ago.

The Champs-Élysées is also a shopping paradise, a fashion destination, and the place with the highest concentration of famous brands in the world. There are clothing stores, perfume shops, and department stores on both sides of the street, Zhang Chengyuan originally thought that Zhang Jingchu should be interested in shopping, but he didn't want her to pay almost no attention to it, just looked in a few times at the door of various brand stores, but he didn't bother to go in to take a closer look, but he was very curious about the various houses with unique shapes along the way, and often stopped to watch, which made Zhang Chengyuan feel that Zhang Jingchu was really a very special woman.

After walking more than 1,000 meters, a boulevard suddenly appeared in front of me, with rows of green trees on both sides, warblers coming to swallows, birds singing and flowers, it is really a rare quiet place in the downtown area. Zhang Chengyuan and Zhang Jingchu wandered and chatted easily, and they were in a very comfortable mood.

Zhang Jingchu said: "Cheng Yuan, I don't think he is Korean, but more like a Chinese, if you develop in China, it must be easier than other Korean stars." Do you have any intention of developing in China? ”

Saying things like "you are more like a Chinese", Zhang Jingchu was not worried that Zhang Chengyuan would be angry, because from the two days of contact, she noticed that Zhang Chengyuan seemed to have no disgust at all and was even a little happy that others regarded him as Chinese. Although she was a little strange about this, because she would be a little unhappy if she was said to be Korean or Japanese, she did not want to delve into it, but only guessed that it might be because Zhang Chengyuan's ancestors were Chinese.

Zhang Chengyuan said: "Of course there is this idea, but it is difficult to say when it will develop in China, maybe one or two years, maybe five or six years, depending on whether there is a suitable opportunity." ”

Zhang Jingchu said: "When the time comes, if you need my help, tell me!" ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "Then thank you first, Sister Jingchu!" Even if he enters China in the future, he may not need Zhang Jingchu's help, but as long as Zhang Jingchu has this intention, he is worthy of his gratitude.

Zhang Jingchu said: "Call me Sister Jing, it's more pleasing to the ear!" ”

……

On this day, Zhang Chengyuan and his first Chinese female friend walked through the major scenic spots in Paris and had a good time. And through getting along with Zhang Jingchu in the past two days, Zhang Chengyuan began to have a preliminary impression of Chinese women, a rather good impression, of course, this does not mean that he is attracted to Zhang Jingchu, in fact, he has no feelings for Zhang Jingchu at all, but he thinks it is very good to be friends with Zhang Jingchu.
