Chapter 648: It's Okay; Pick-up
After a while, Han Hyo-joo returned. Jang Sung-won and Lee Joon-gi also put away their jokes, so as not to be embarrassed when she heard it.
When Han Hyo-joo sat down, Jang Sung-won made the excuse of going to the toilet, so that Lee Joon-gi could tell her the conditions he had just made alone, so that there would be less scruples between words, and Lee Joon-gi could say more good things for him and his company by the way.
After about ten minutes, he turned back again, and when he saw Han Xiaozhu's face full of joy, he knew that it was done.
As soon as he sat back in his seat, Han Xiaozhu got up and bowed to him and said, "Senior Zhang Chengyuan, no, President Zhang, I will ask you in the future!" ”
Zhang Chengyuan also stood up and said, "You're welcome, you still call me senior, well, or call me oppa." At a glance, it was clear that Han Xiaozhu was several years younger than him.
Lee Joon-gi interjected: "Don't call him president, he has always disliked people calling him that, you just call him oppa." He deliberately wanted Han Hyo-joo to be closer to Jang Sung-won, so he asked her to call him "oppa".
Han Xiaozhu was as kind as a stream, and smiled gently: "Cheng Yuan oppa, you can just call me by my name in the future." ”
Zhang Chengyuan nodded and said, "Okay, Xiaozhu, if you have any trouble in the future, just come to me, or find Lin Zhixiu, the president of the company." ”
Lee Joon-gi hurriedly said: "It's best not to look for him, he has always been very busy, except for filming and falling in love, almost everything is handled by President Lin Jixiu for him, if you have something to do with the president, she is a good person." He didn't want Han Hyo-joo to have too much contact with Jang Sung-won, lest he be accidentally confused by his handsome face and seductive eyes, if so, then he would be a sinner.
Han Hyo-joo was a little puzzled, but still nodded yes.
Zhang Chengyuan didn't care, and continued: "The matter of the contract." I will do my best to let Jisoo contact you, if you have any requests, just ask her, as long as it is reasonable, we will definitely agree. "The surprise is that if it doesn't make sense, it won't necessarily be agreed.
Han Xiaozhu nodded with a smile and said, "Oppa, I'll wait for your news." ”
Zhang Chengyuan bowed his head and said: "Okay, then this matter is decided, Xiaozhu." It's late, so go back and rest first. ”
As soon as he heard this, Lee Joon-gi immediately stood up and said, "Hyo-joo, I'll send you back." He vaguely guessed Zhang Chengyuan's thoughts, and immediately wanted to slip away.
Zhang Chengyuan grabbed him. said: "Don't think about slipping away, it's hard to meet." Why do you want to drink with me! ”
Lee Joon-gi shouted, "You don't like to drink. Why do you have to ask me for a drink when you get along with me? ”
Zhang Chengyuan smiled: "Because it's more interesting to get you drunk." ”
Lee Joon-gi shook his head, sat down helplessly, and then said to Han Hyo-joo: "Hyo-joo, you go back first." I'm just afraid I'm going to be doomed tonight. ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "It's just drunk, do you need to say it so exaggerated?" Hyo-joo, don't worry, your quasi-gi brother is handed over to me. I'm not going to let anything happen to him. ”
Han Hyo-joo was slightly stunned, thinking that Jang Sung-won had misunderstood the relationship between her and Lee Joon-gi, so she suddenly blushed, glanced at Lee Joon-gi, and didn't know how to tell the difference, so she simply bowed and left quickly, staying here, which was really embarrassing. How did she know that Jang Sung-won was actually just teasing Lee Joon-gi?
Lee Joon-gi said: "You guy is talking nonsense again, so that Xiaozhu is scared away by you." ”
Zhang Chengyuan said disapprerovingly: "I just want to see if she has any affection for you." Unfortunately, it seems that there is no such thing as for the time being. Okay, let's not talk about it, let's drink. Well, waiter, come in with a case of beer and a case of soju. ”
……
This night, Lee Joon-gi did not escape the fate of being drunk by Jang Sung-won after all. However, after he got drunk, Zhang Chengyuan immediately used his true qi to slow down the flow of qi and blood in his body, so he didn't feel uncomfortable, but fell asleep. Then, Jang Sung-won sent him home, on the way, he wanted to call Nam Sang-mi, but after thinking about it, he gave up, thinking that Lee Joon-gi's feelings should be handled by himself first.
…………
At about half past four in the morning on November 6, Jang Sung-won's plane arrived at Incheon Airport in Seoul, South Korea, from Los Angeles, this is the third time he has left the "Inception" crew to return to South Korea, but unlike the previous two times, after he left this time, he did not need to return to the film crew, because his roles in "Inception" have all ended.
Of course, he can't be relaxed yet, because he still has a TV series with him, as of last night, "IRIS", which is scheduled to shoot 20 episodes, has already aired eight episodes, but he has only filmed about the thirteenth episode, which means that in the remaining six weeks, he has to shoot the remaining seven episodes, an average of more than one episode a week.
Originally, this was nothing, but if it was replaced by a romantic drama that was much easier to shoot, even if he filmed two episodes a week, Zhang Chengyuan would be able to handle it. But "IRIS" is a TV series with a lot of action scenes and intense scenes, and the difficulty of shooting a single episode and filming is far more than ordinary urban dramas, so shooting seven episodes in six weeks is not a simple task for Zhang Chengyuan, and he will still be busy in the future.
But no matter what, after all, in South Korea, no matter how busy he is, he can still have more time to get along with his sisters, so Zhang Chengyuan is already very happy, filming abroad, the kind of lovesickness that often comes in his leisure time is really not very comfortable.
And one thing to be thankful for is that IRIS has excellent ratings.
Xu is the first time that the Korean people have seen this kind of spy war-themed action drama, coupled with the proper publicity, the cast is very strong, and the plot is extremely compact and exciting, so it was warmly welcomed as soon as it was broadcast, and the ratings of the first episode were as high as 24.6%, and then went all the way up, in the fifth episode, it broke through the 30% mark, and by the eighth episode last night, the ratings were already 33.8%, and it seems that there is still a lot of room for improvement.
Among them, Jang Sung-won's appearance is indispensable, his superb agility and cold and handsome face seem to be born for the horn of the agent, his action performance is both rigid and beautiful, which has amazed the media and the audience, saying that no one in South Korea can beat it. And the tough guy tenderness shown in the face of the heroine Kim Tae-hee made female fans intoxicated. In this way, it will not attract a large number of TV viewers.
And the performances of other actors such as Kim Tae-hee and Jung Jun-ho are also icing on the cake, very outstanding, especially Kim Tae-hee's appearance is the most surprising and even shocking, not only the action scenes are heroic and clean, which is in great contrast with her weak and intellectual appearance, but also in the literary drama, especially the interpretation of emotional dramas, which is naturally sincere and touching. is completely different from the watch xiàn, which is often called a "vase", and is almost eligible to compete for the best actress award at the year-end TV awards.
Thinking of Jang Sung-won's previous heroine partners in TV dramas, Kim Ah-jung, Yoon Eun-hye, Moon Geun-young, Sung Yo-ri and others, the public guessed that this should be Zhang Sung-won's credit again, so that many young actresses have more and more ideas or longings to play with Jang Sung-won in order to get his guidance. or inspire a high level of acting skills in cooperation with him, but unfortunately Zhang Chengyuan seems to be out of reach. I want to play with him. But it's not easy.
While the ratings of "IRIS" are rising, Jang Sung-won's already high popularity inevitably rises a little. Perhaps people in this world are born to worship the strong, especially the strong who have become rich or heroes from the grassroots, and Jang Sung-won seems to have both, so since he grabbed a lot of wealth from the financial markets of Japan and the United States and became a quasi-billionaire and was evaluated as a so-called "national hero" by some media, the recognition of ordinary people in South Korea has stabilized and improved a lot. This also made his popularity and status in the entertainment industry rise a lot.
He was absolutely in the limelight in '09. Recently, he has been evaluated by many media as "the most influential Korean star in 09".
Of course, Zhang Chengyuan, who is busy filming, doesn't know this, and even if he knows, he won't take it seriously, everyone knows how unscrupulous the media is. Praise you today and step on you tomorrow, they have already done thousands of things, Zhang Chengyuan has been in the entertainment industry for so long, how can he not know, how can he pay attention to it? So when he learned that many media were going to interview him after he returned to China this time, he asked Lin Jisoo to help him push it off, and now he just wants to film with peace of mind and enjoy the rare time with his sisters.
…………
Walking out of the airport, Jang Sung-won stepped into the car driven by his assistant Kim Yu-gi to meet him before being watched by onlookers.
As soon as he entered, he immediately had a surprise, he actually saw Cheng Youli sitting on the seat at the back of the car, resting with his eyes closed. He didn't expect that Cheng Youli would come to pick him up, and it was still early in the morning.
Cheng Youli seemed to feel something, quietly opened his eyes, and when he saw Zhang Chengyuan, a smile immediately bloomed on his face.
Without waiting for Zhang Chengyuan's instructions, Jin Youji started the car, and at the same time said: "Chengyuan, Youli has been waiting for you here for more than an hour." As Zhang Chengyuan's assistant, Kim Youji is already quite familiar with Cheng Youli, and he is several years older than Cheng Youli, so when he calls her, he does not use honorifics.
Zhang Chengyuan sat next to Cheng Youli and said to Jin Youji: "Brother Youji, I'm sorry for you, it's not dawn yet, so I'll let you pick me up, sister-in-law won't blame me for disturbing your sleep, right?" ”
While talking to Jin Youji, he whispered to Cheng Youli: "Sister, sleep in my arms for a while, and we'll have a good chat when we go back." As he spoke, he took her in his arms so that she could sleep more comfortably.
Cheng Youli nodded, closed his eyes and rested. In order to pick up Zhang Chengyuan, she almost didn't sleep all night, and now she is really sleepy.
Jin Yuji said: "This is what I should do, how can your sister-in-law say anything?" If you hadn't taken care of us for the past two years, how could our family have been so comfortable? She has always been very grateful to you. ”
Zhang Chengyuan smiled and said: "Brother Youji, when I asked you to be an assistant, I said that when you are familiar with the things in the entertainment industry, I will let you be an agent and bring newcomers, and now it is also this time, do you have this interest?" ”
Jin Yuji hesitated for a while and said, "I don't want to be polite to you, there must be interest, but I'm worried that I don't have the ability yet." I think the best job for me is to drive for you and be an assistant, which is easy and pays well. ”
Zhang Chengyuan has always been generous to the people around him, and likes to do many things himself, and although he is busy with work, he doesn't have much time to rush, so it is indeed a very good job to be an assistant and driver for him.
Zhang Chengyuan persuaded: "How can a man be a driver all the time? Even being a driver for the president doesn't make much fun. Brother Ji, I think you should try to be an agent, although it is much harder, but it is a promising career after all. If one day you can train the artists you bring to become stars, then you will also get a great sense of achievement.
As for ability, you don't need to worry, I'll find someone to do some training for you, and if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can also ask Jixiu to help you solve them, well, I'll give you an experienced deputy then. ”
Kim Yuki said: "Since you have said so, then I will listen to you." However, you don't have any deputies for me, it's better to assign me to someone else as a deputy, and when I have sufficient experience, I will become an agent independently. ”
Zhang Chengyuan thought slightly: "It's okay, just do what you say first." However, in terms of wages and benefits, there is no need to reduce them, and they are as good as they are now. As Zhang Chengyuan's assistant, Jin Yuji's salary at this time is much higher than that of ordinary agents.
"Cheng Yuan, thank you." Kim Yu-gi said gratefully. If his salary does not fall, he will be more interested in the position of broker. In fact, if they have the ability and the conditions, how many men would not want to do something more interesting and challenging? (To be continued......)
