In the busy filming life, time flies quickly, half a month has passed all of a sudden, as of October 23rd, "The Painter of the Wind" has been released to the 10th episode, with the continuous development of the plot and the gradual breeding of the feelings of the hero and heroine, the ratings of the TV series have risen steadily, from 18.8% in the second episode to about 25%, and it has stabilized.

In particular, when the 7th episode was broadcast on the evening of the 15th, due to the temporary suspension of its biggest competitor "Beethoven Virus" and the rebroadcast of football matches, some housewives who followed "Beethoven Virus" switched the channel to the other two channels, which cheapened the ratings of "The Painter of the Wind" and "The Land of the Wind", so that the ratings of "The Painter of the Wind" reached 28.7%, and the ratings of "The Painter of the Wind" also increased slightly.

It's just a pity that on October 16, as soon as "Beethoven Virus" resumed broadcasting, it immediately regained the lost ground, so that the ratings of "The Painter of the Wind" not only could not continue to rise, but fell back to 25.3%. This made the crew feel very regretful, thinking that if "Beethoven Virus" continued to be suspended for one day, then the ratings of "The Painter of the Wind" might exceed 30%. Moreover, having lost this rare opportunity, I am afraid that the ratings of "The Painter of the Wind" will not be able to break through 30%.

In addition, in the past half a month, Zhang Chengyuan has also done two things, which is worth mentioning. One is: On October 9, Eric, the captain of the popular long-lived singer group Shinhwa Group, enlisted in the army, and as a friend, Jang Sung-won rushed to the Chungnam Nonsan Army Training Center that morning and met with him.

The second is: On October 13, the 10th program recording of "The Birth of a Family" added a new regular member - Kim Jong Kook. As a semi-permanent member. Zhang Chengyuan took the time to welcome him. However, he did not participate in the recording of this show.

……

On October 28th, Jang Sung-won, who was filming in the crew, suddenly ushered in an uninvited guest - Park Zhenbiao, he is a fairly famous director in South Korea, and won the best director at the 26th Blue Dragon Film Awards for the movie "You Are My Destiny" in 05.

Zhang Chengyuan was puzzled by his unexpected visit, because it was the first time he had seen this director, and it could be said that he had never known him in his life and had no friendship with him. After the end of the night's shooting. Zhang Chengyuan found a quiet place near the set and talked to him.

Park Zhenbiao, born in 1966, is only 43 years old this year, and is also young and promising in the directorial industry, although the number of films directed is not large, there are only three regular films so far, but each of them is very attention-grabbing, and the box office is also very good, he is an excellent director who is good at describing the beautiful emotions of the world with the lens.

The conversation begins. Park Jin-pyo said: "Mr. Jang Sung-won, I am preparing to start making a new movie. It's called "My Love Is By My Side", have you ever heard of this movie? ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "Of course I have heard of it, and the media has been full of news about it recently. ”

As early as last month, when the major media announced that Kwon Sang-woo and Ha Ji-won were about to co-produce this movie, it had already attracted wide public attention, and then, in order to make the film start filming smoothly as soon as possible, Kwon Sang-woo announced that he was willing to star in this movie with zero pay, which made the public hotly discuss it.

Two days ago, the production company of "My Love is by My Side" announced that Kwon Sang-woo, who was originally scheduled to be the male lead actor in the film, had terminated the starring agreement with the production company a few days ago, because Kwon Sang-woo felt that he was not suitable for this role and took the initiative to resign. As soon as this news was made public, it was even more eye-catching.

In this case, Zhang Chengyuan naturally heard about it a little, but because he felt that he should not have anything to do with this movie, he didn't pay much attention to it, and he didn't want Park Zhenbiao to come to the door today.

Park Jin-pyo continued: "I came here this time to see if there is any possibility of cooperating with Mr. Jang Sung-won. ”

Jang Sung-won asked, "Director Park, do you want me to succeed Mr. Kwon Sang-woo in this movie?" ”

Park Zhenbiao nodded and said: "I did have this idea before I came, and just now I had the pleasure of watching the situation when you were filming, which strengthened my idea - Mr. Jang Sung-won is worthy of being the best actor in the young generation, and I feel that I have found the right person for you." ”

Although the media and professionals have always praised Jang Sung-won's acting skills, Park Zhenbiao was not very convinced, thinking that Jang Sung-won's acting skills may be really good, but it should not reach the top level in the industry, after all, he is only 26 years old this year, and acting skills usually need time and experience to hone.

But today, he witnessed Zhang Chengyuan's filming with his own eyes, and continued to watch it carefully for an afternoon, and he suddenly found that Zhang Chengyuan's acting skills are extremely outstanding, in no way inferior to those South Korean actors, and even better in some aspects, so he began to earnestly hope to invite Zhang Chengyuan to star in his movie.

Jang Sung-won said: "Director Park, as far as I know, the male lead in the movie "My Love is by My Side" is a patient suffering from Gracker's disease and gradually paralyzed and thinning his body. It is said that Mr. Kwon Sang-woo quit this movie because he was too strong to do so. And I'm taller and stronger than him, I'm afraid I'm even more unsuitable for this role? ”

Park Zhenbiao smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Zhang Chengyuan, do you know how I thought of asking you to play this role?" It was actually recommended by Miss Ha Ji Won, the female lead of this movie. She assured me that you definitely have the ability to reduce your weight and size to fit the role in a very short period of time, so I came to you to take a look. ”

Hearing that it was Ha Ji Won's recommendation, Zhang Chengyuan couldn't help but be a little puzzled, because at the beginning of the month, he told her that his schedule was not suitable for this movie, but it was inconvenient to delve into the matter at this time, so he put it aside for the time being, thought about it, nodded and said: "Sister Ji Yuan, she is right, I can indeed do this." However, Director Park, I am currently working on a TV series, and it will not be completed until the end of November, and it will be in March next year. There will be another filming of a new TV series. But as far as I know. "My Love Is By My Side" will not start filming until February next year, so I'm afraid that there will be no schedule to appear in this movie. ”

Park Zhenbiao groaned: "I will find a way to solve this point, try to start filming this film in December or early January next year, I believe that in two months, I will be able to finish filming this movie, in fact, this movie is not complicated, and the difficulty of shooting is not very large, what you really need to pay attention to is your weight loss process and your acting skills." But on both counts, I'm sure you can give us a very good performance. Also, to be on the safe side, we can shoot your scene first, so that you won't be delayed from other work. ”

"Oh, I see. This adjustment really gave me time to shoot this movie. That's why Sister Hailin recommended me to Director Park Zhenbiao. At the same time, it can be seen that Sister Hailin really wants to act with me again, and I can't live up to her hospitality. ”

Thinking like this, Zhang Chengyuan agreed: "If you can really shoot according to the time you said the director, then I am very willing to take on this movie." The role of this Gleck's patient. It's challenging, and I'd like to do it again. Maybe you can get an important award for this role. ”

Park Jin-biao said: "If you can play this role well, I believe you will be able to win one or two film awards." "You can see that he has a lot of faith in his new film.

After a pause, he said again: "Mr. Zhang, I heard that your company has invested in film and television drama shooting, is there such a thing?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "Well, there have indeed been one or two times. ”

Park Zhenbiao said: "Then are you interested in investing in my movie?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan was slightly stunned and asked rhetorically. "Director Park, hasn't the crew raised enough money for filming?"

Park Zhenbiao said frankly: "I won't hide it from you, the crew has indeed not raised enough funds, and you also know that the film market is sluggish now, and it is difficult to raise funds." ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "I don't know how much is missing?" ”

"The film needs about 4 billion won of investment, and now it is about 1.5 billion short."

Zhang Chengyuan said: "1.5 billion? It's not much, I can take it out, and I'm willing to take it out, but I have a small condition. ”

"You have all the 1.5 billion?" Park Zhenbiao was surprised, he only hoped that Zhang Chengyuan could come up with hundreds of millions, after all, the economy is not good this year, the investment risk is relatively large, and the artists don't make much money, I don't want Zhang Chengyuan to cover it all without blinking, which makes him very happy, you must know that he has spent a lot of effort in order to raise enough filming funds.

Zhang Chengyuan said: "Well, I've got it all, but you have to agree to my conditions." ”

Park Zhenbiao immediately regained his composure and asked, "What conditions do you have?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "I have always had a wish - to independently direct an excellent action movie, and I have been working hard for this dream in the past few years, this time I hope to learn your directing skills from you, and practice a little by the way." Although Park Jin-pyo is not an action director, he has the same goal, and since he has won the Blue Dragon Award for Best Director, there must be some merits, so Jang Sung-won hopes to get some guidance from him.

"You want to be the assistant director of this film?"

"Yes. I hope Director Park can make it happen! ”

Park Zhenbiao groaned: "This condition is nothing, I promise it." Compared with Jang Sung-won's investment of 1.5 billion, his request is really nothing, and Park Zhenbiao has no reason not to agree.

Then, Park Zhenbiao said: "Now let's talk about your treatment, what requirements do you have, such as salary?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "I think even if I take out more than 1.5 billion, the crew is afraid that they don't have too much money, so it's better to do this, I will learn from Mr. Xiangyou and don't get a fixed salary." ”

"Do you want to star in zero pay, and then wait for the movie to be released and then get box office dividends?"

"Yes."

"You're so confident in this movie? Aren't you afraid that you will suffer a loss by doing so? ”

Jang Sung-won said: "I believe in Director Park's ability, and I am also optimistic about Sister Jiwon and myself, I think this movie will definitely be a blockbuster movie." ”

Park Zhenbiao said: "I agree in principle to your request, but I still have to discuss it with representatives of other investors." "Zhang Chengyuan's remuneration involves the interests of various investors, so it is not something that he, the director, can decide alone.

Zhang Chengyuan nodded and said, "Naturally." ”

Park Jin-pyo asked, "If this request of yours cannot be met, then how much salary will you offer?" ”

Zhang Sungyuan said: "I heard that in the past, the film salary of top Korean actors was more than 600 million, but now that the market is sluggish, everyone has taken the initiative to reduce their prices, so I will also reduce it, 400 million won." ”

Park Zhenbiao said: "With your current popularity and worth, this is not much, I can agree." So, what are the conditions? ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "In addition, I have always had a lot of announcements, so it is sometimes convenient to ask the director to leave the crew after filming, of course, it will never affect the normal shooting process of the film." ”

Park Zhenbiao said: "I heard Miss Ha Ji Won and other industry insiders talk about your filming habits, it's nothing, many busy top artists are often like this, as long as it doesn't affect filming, I will approve your leave." ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "Then Director Xie Lu and Xie Pu." Now that I don't have any other special requirements, you can send someone to my agency to discuss the rest of the contract details. ”

Park Zhenbiao said: "Okay, that's it. Well, that's all for today, I'm going to take care of some other things, so I'll take my leave. "The crew still has things waiting for him.

Zhang Chengyuan didn't keep it, and said: "Then let's see you again next time we have a chance." Director Park, please go slowly! ”

Then the two said goodbye to each other and left.

In the hotel where the crew stayed, Zhang Chengyuan habitually went to Wen Genying's room first, talked to her, and immediately talked about the filming of the new movie.

After hearing this, Wen Genying said, "So your next work is going to cooperate with Sister Hailin?" ”

"Yes."

Wen Genying said: "Brother Cheng Yuan, I really envy you, you can shoot with your favorite person in almost every work, but I can't!" ”

Zhang Chengyuan smiled: "What, are you reluctant to part with me?" Don't we still have about a month to get along, why do you need to sigh so early? ”

Wen Genying said: "A month will pass in a flash, and it will not be as easy as it is now for me to see you!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Chengyuan was also a little touched, nodded and said, "Yes, we really won't be so easy to meet in the future!" After pondering for a while, he suddenly said, "In this case, should we cherish the time in front of us?" ”

Wen Genying glanced at Zhang Chengyuan suspiciously, and said, "Brother Chengyuan, are you going to make some special requests to me again?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan gently pinched her nose and praised: "Genying, you are really a smart girl!" I do think so, you can sleep with me from tonight onwards so that you can spend more time together. ”

Wen Genying panicked: "What kind of line is this? Something big will happen if someone sees it. ”

Zhang Chengyuan said disapprerovantly: "It's okay not to let people see it, don't worry, I will be very careful, and no one will find out that I sneaked into your room late at night." He planned to wait until everyone was almost asleep every night, and then sneak into Wen Genying's room, and then sleep with her in his arms, and wait until it was almost dawn the next day, and then leave secretly.

Wen Genying thought for a while and said, "Since this is the case, then this matter depends on you." However, Brother Cheng Yuan, you won't take the opportunity to ask for me, will you? She still trusts Zhang Chengyuan's ability, but she is not very confident about his lustful character.

Zhang Chengyuan said: "No, in order not to affect the filming, I will not change you from a girl to a woman for the time being, but I don't guarantee that I will not do anything to you." ”

Wen Genying snorted slightly and muttered, "Brother Cheng Yuan, you are really a big pervert." (To be continued......)
