At 5 a.m. the next day, Zhang Chengyuan woke up on time, and he had a trip at 6 a.m. this morning, so he had to get up early. looked at Cheng Youli, who had just fallen asleep for a short time, gently kissed her on the forehead, and said softly: "Sister Youli, I have relied on you in this life, don't try to escape, I will give you happiness." This is not for Cheng Youli, but for himself.

Cheng Youli's eyelids moved, but he didn't open them, and said tiredly: "Happy fart!" I'm exhausted! Well, I won't cook for you today, you can do it yourself! Don't skip it! Do you know the way? She hadn't fallen asleep in the first place, and she woke up with a light touch from Zhang Chengyuan, but she was too tired to get up and make breakfast for Zhang Chengyuan, so she had to let Zhang Chengyuan solve it himself.

Zhang Chengyuan saw that she was angry with him last night, but she was still worried about his breakfast this morning, and he was very moved, but he didn't say words of gratitude, but said: "Zhilu Dao, Sister Youli, I will go to the street to have a good meal." Rest well! After a pause, he said: "Sister Youli, I haven't heard you speak foul language for a long time, it seems that you are really angry with me in your heart, but it doesn't matter, if you are angry, you will send it at me, and I will listen to you." But you can't get angry with the staff around you, lest you damage your perfect image. Okay, I'm leaving, you must come back to me in the evening if you have time! Can't you hide from me, Zhiludao? Otherwise, I'll sneak into your house. "Get out of bed and leave.

Cheng Youli listened to the footsteps of him leaving, and sighed deeply, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.

After Zhang Chengyuan went out, he found a nearby roadside stall, sat down to eat breakfast, and ate the food of three adults in one go. Not long after he sat down, many fans or passers-by gathered around him to watch him eat and take pictures of him eating with their mobile phones. But Zhang Chengyuan did not leave in a hurry, but continued to eat calmly, because he wanted to fulfill his previous promise to Cheng Youli - he would have a good meal on the street. And the photos taken by these onlookers will go viral on the Internet after dozens of minutes or even just a few minutes, which can just prove to Cheng Youli that he is a good man and takes her words to heart.

After filling his stomach, Zhang Chengyuan smiled and asked the onlookers a few times: "Good morning!" He drove away, ready to start his day's journey.

Nearly noon, Jang Sung-won drove to a café near the MBC TV station in Yeouido, where he was going to meet director Lee Yoon-jung, which had been agreed two days earlier.

Director Lee Yoon-jung was the director of the TV series "Taeling Player Village" starring Jang Sung Won and Lee Allah, and her friendship with Jang Sung Won was not bad, this time she asked Jang Sung Won to come out, and in Jang Sung Won's mind, nine out of ten invited him to participate in her new TV series.

Sure enough, the facts were indeed as Zhang Chengyuan expected, after meeting, without a few words of greeting, Director Lee Yunzhen said straight to the point: "Chengyuan, I asked you out this time to ask you to be the leading actor of the new TV series "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop" that I am about to direct." As he spoke, he took out the script and handed it to Zhang Chengyuan. She knows that the rule of Zhang Chengyuan to take over the drama after he becomes famous has always been to read the script first and then talk about other things, if the script does not satisfy him, then there is no need to talk about other conditions.

Jang Sung-won took the script, said sorry to Lee Yoon-jung, and opened the script to read it quickly and seriously.

Lee Yoon-jung didn't bother, sitting quietly, drinking coffee while thinking about which actor should be more suitable for other roles. Zhang Chengyuan is the first actor she invited in this drama. The reason why this is the case is that Jang Sung-won has an outstanding image, excellent acting skills, and high popularity, and the TV series he starred in has never failed. The second is that she is a bit nostalgic, when she was still unknown, Zhang Chengyuan accepted her kind invitation and starred in the TV short series "Taeling Player Village" directed by her at a reduced price, and it also made this TV short drama a great success, and also made her famous in the director industry, and it is precisely because of this that she had the opportunity to direct the regular TV series "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop" this time.

After about an hour and a half, Zhang Chengyuan closed the script and said, "The script is very good, I like it very much!" The subject matter seems old-fashioned but very novel, the plot is interesting and touching, and if it is filmed well, it will definitely be able to get high ratings. I'd love to give it a try if I could! ”

Lee Yoon-jung smiled: "If you can participate, then this TV series is half the success." ”

Zhang Chengyuan said a few words modestly, and then asked: "Director, when will this drama be filmed?"

Lee Yunzhen said: "The plan is to start broadcasting on July 2, so filming must start before June at the latest!" Ji Lu plans to shoot about 16 episodes, which is expected to be completed around the end of August. She knew that Zhang Chengyuan was calculating the schedule to see if there was any possibility of taking the film, so she explained the shooting time in detail.

Zhang Chengyuan said: "In June? In June, I may have to go abroad to make a movie, and I wonder if I will have time to take on this film? ”

At the end of last year, Cheng Long invited him to audition for a new Hollywood movie, he agreed, and in his spare time during the filming of "Spike 3", he took the time to go to the film crew and successfully passed the audition, and was determined to be the villain of that movie, the salary is quite high, and the role is not small, so if "Coffee Prince No. 1" starts filming at the same time as that movie, then he is afraid that he can only give up this TV series, because he has accepted the movie invitation first.

At that moment, Jang Sung-won explained his difficulties in detail and apologized to Lee Yoon-jeong. After hearing this, Li Yunzhen said with great regret: "That's a pity! In that case, then I won't bother! ”

Zhang Chengyuan sighed, ready to return the script to Li Yunzhen, suddenly his heart flashed a throbbing, and an inexplicable feeling instantly came to his heart, only to feel that if he gave up the performance of this TV series, he was afraid that he would regret it for a long time! He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said, "Director, please wait, I have a few words to say, can you listen patiently?" ”

Li Yunzhen said: "Of course! Say it! ”

Jang Sung-won said: "I really like this script, I am very reluctant to miss it, if you can advance the filming time to March or early April, I will take this drama, and I will definitely do my best to act in this TV series." You can do it! It was the first time he had asked someone for such a thing, but he had to do it in order to keep his mind calm and not regret it in the future.

Li Yunzhen thought about it for a while, and said with some embarrassment: "I haven't prepared for a lot of related things, and I can't guarantee that I will be able to start filming this TV series in a month or two." ”

Zhang Chengyuan begged again: "Please give it a try!" ”

Lee Yoon-jung groaned, "Okay, I'll try my best!" She also wants to work with Zhang Chengyuan again, so that her TV series will be more successful.

Zhang Chengyuan said: "Thank you, director!" He will keep this love in his heart, and he will definitely return it when he has the opportunity in the future!

Lee Yoon-jung said: "Cheng Yuan, if you want to start filming early, you have to face two major problems. First, the actors have not yet been selected, especially the female lead! She is one of the keys to the success or failure of this show. Second, most of the funds have not yet been put in place, and I am afraid that I will not be able to open it if I want to. ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "If it's a financial problem, I can come up with a little, about 3 billion, although it is not enough to shoot a complete drama, but I can cope with it for two months." This kind of fashion drama shouldn't cost money to make a historical drama, right? ”

Zhang Chengyuan's 3 billion, of which 800 or 900 million is the salary of "Peak 3", Cheng Long won 800,000 US dollars for him to pay the crew, which is almost 900 million when converted into Korean won. Since Park Byungyeol almost didn't contribute to this drama, he didn't ask Jang Sung-won for a share of the money, so almost all of the money went into Jang Sung-won's pocket.

There is also a total of about 600 million in salary and dividends for the movie "The Troubles of Beauty", and after the sharing, Zhang Chengyuan also got 300 million. In addition, at the end of the year, some of the various incomes that have been received, such as advertising endorsement fees, announcement appearance fees, and remuneration for commercial promotion, are also more than 800 million, and the total is about 2 billion. As for the remaining billion, he is ready to borrow it from Park Byungyeol temporarily, and this money can definitely be borrowed based on his friendship with Park Byungyeol!

Originally, he didn't have to borrow this billion, as long as he recovered some of the money that was previously given to Lin Zhixiu for investment, he could raise it, but Lin Zhixiu was very good at making money, and this billion money could become thirteen, four hundred million or even more if she stayed in her hands for three or five months, where was he willing to take it back? It's better to borrow money to be cost-effective, and Park Byungyeol is embarrassed to ask him for a higher interest than the bank. In addition, he also left some money behind to pay taxes and daily expenses, otherwise, he would definitely come up with more money!

And the reason why he is willing to come up with 3 billion won is because he is very optimistic about the future income of this TV series.

Hearing that Zhang Chengyuan was willing to take out 3 billion, Li Yunzhen was a little surprised and said: "This 3 billion saves some flowers, and it should be able to shoot about ten episodes of this kind of drama!" But this money should be almost all your worth, right? Aren't you afraid of losing all at once? ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "I have confidence in the script, confidence in the director, and confidence in myself, since I starred in a TV series, no TV series has failed!" Maybe after this TV series is broadcast, my 3 billion can be doubled. ”

Lee Yoon-jung said: "I hope so! In addition, I and other related people will also try to raise money, and then the problem of funding is almost solved. Now it's the actor side to consider. I don't have a clue about this, and the rest is okay to say, open recruitment is, but the female No. 1, female No. 2, and male No. 2 have to choose carefully. Cheng Yuan, do you have any candidates to recommend? ”

She trusts Zhang Chengyuan's vision and character very much, and knows that he will never recommend people indiscriminately, when she used to shoot "Tailing Player Village", Zhang Chengyuan recommended Li Zhenlai to her to play the heroine, at that time she also felt that Zhang Chengyuan was selfish, but after starting filming, she found that Li Zhen was indeed very suitable for playing that role, and she cooperated with Zhang Chengyuan very tacitly, which not only improved the quality of the TV series, but also saved a lot of shooting time, so she hoped that Zhang Chengyuan could recommend it again at this time to solve this big trouble for her.

Zhang Chengyuan said: "I don't know many actresses, if I have to recommend them, I will recommend them......" The appearance of all the sisters flashed in his mind, compared their temperament and personality traits, and said the most: "Yin Eunhui!" Then he continued: "But whether she is suitable or not depends on the director, you, the screenwriter and others to judge!" Also, I don't know if she will take over the TV series! If he insisted that Yoon Eun-hye participate in this drama, Yoon Eun-hye would not refuse, but he didn't want to force Yoon Eun-hye to do this kind of thing.

Lee Yoon-jung groaned, "Yoon Eun-hye? She is taller than ordinary women and has a lot of strength, and she is known as a strong girl, and she may really be suitable for playing the role of Gao Euncan, a woman dressed as a man. And she is extremely popular and popular now, and asking her to star will definitely help a lot in the ratings. Cheng Yuan, thank you for your recommendation, I will think about it and propose to the crew to invite her to give it a try. ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "It should be me who thanks you!" Eun Hye is my good sister, and I am happier if the crew can use her. ”

Li Yunzhen said again: "Then the female number two and the male number two, do you have any good candidates?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan shook his head and said, "No!" Even if there is, he won't say it, because he thinks that everything should be done in moderation, and he has already recommended one, and if he recommends it again, it will be too much. And the image of the second female lead in the script doesn't seem to be pleasing, so there is no need for someone he likes to play it, so as not to accidentally ruin the screen image.

After discussing the matter with Li Yunzhen, Zhang Chengyuan stayed in the car and rested for a while, and then continued to rush to the notice. After all the trips that night, he met with Park Byungyeol and mentioned the matter of borrowing money, and Park Byungyeol immediately agreed to lend him one billion won.

Then, he went to Lin Zhixiu's apartment, called Lin Zhixiu, who was still handling affairs outside, back, unblocked the meridians for her, and taught her a set of exercises to keep healthy and increase mental strength a little. After doing this, he couldn't help but get upset and treat Lin Zhixiu with great contempt, stirring her heart, but he still didn't break her body. Not only because Park Xuanying was sleeping next door, Lin Jisoo really couldn't pull his face and resisted a little fiercely, but also because Jang Sung-won suddenly didn't want her for the time being.

For the sake of this, he is naturally afraid that Cheng Youli will become more and more angry when he learns about it! How can he wait until Cheng Youli forgets or lets go of this matter, so he can attack Lin Zhixiu, anyway, Lin Zhixiu can't escape his palm in his life, so there is no need to rush for a while.

After returning home late at night, Zhang Chengyuan happily saw Cheng Youli again, who was dozing off on a chair in the dining room, next to a few dishes with lids. Zhang Chengyuan was greatly moved, and felt that he was really lucky to be accompanied by a beautiful, kind-hearted and gentle and considerate woman like Cheng Youli in this life! Moreover, he not only has Cheng Youli, but also has several good women who can match or only slightly inferior to Cheng Youli. In a man's life, he can be accompanied by so many beautiful women, even if he can't become an immortal, what are the regrets?

Hearing the voice of Zhang Chengyuan coming back, Cheng Youli woke up, greeted lukewarmly, and then put down a sentence: "Let's have supper!" After eating, clean up. With a tired face, he got up and stood up.

Zhang Chengyuan grabbed her and asked, "Sister Youli, where do you want to go?" "He was worried that she was going home.

"I'm sleepy, I want to go back to my room to sleep, don't bother me tonight."

Zhang Chengyuan said: "Wait a minute, I have something to say to you." ”

Cheng Youli glanced at him, and seeing that he looked resolute, he nodded and said, "Okay, you say, I'll listen." "Sit down.

Zhang Chengyuan coughed and asked a little embarrassedly: "Sister Youli, I want to pursue other women's affairs, have you told Sister Xiaoli about them?" ”

Cheng Youli didn't answer, pondered for a while, and asked, "I'm afraid you don't only have this kind of thought, you may already have other women, right?" She's had this suspicion since yesterday.

Zhang Chengyuan was stunned for a moment, and stopped talking.

As soon as he saw his expression, Cheng Youli knew that he had told the truth, and he became more and more annoyed, raised his fist, and wanted to beat Zhang Chengyuan, but then sighed, lowered his hand, and scolded: "You big bastard!" ”

What about beating Zhang Chengyuan? I'm afraid that not only will it not make her happy, but it may be even more uncomfortable.

However, Zhang Chengyuan really wanted her to hit a few times, the heavier the beating, the better, so that his mood might be better.

The two were silent, each thinking about their own thoughts, and after a while, Cheng Youli said softly: "I won't tell Sister Xiaoli about this for the time being." ”

She hadn't decided whether to tell the other sisters about it, because she was also worried that the three sisters, especially Lee Hyo-ri, would react too violently after hearing about it, so that it would affect the relationship between the four of them and Jang Sung-won. Although she was angry with Zhang Chengyuan, she hadn't thought about leaving Zhang Chengyuan, and they hadn't reached the point of breaking up.

Of course, this is just her thoughts, maybe Lee Hyo-ri won't have a too radical reaction at all after knowing the truth, maybe she will only be angry for a while, and then she will be willing to spare him under the entanglement of Zhang Chengyuan's dead face. After all, Zhang Chengyuan's entanglement skills can be regarded as the first class in the world, even if the fourth girl wants to hide, he can't dodge, and his face is so thick that a bullet can't penetrate it, no matter how the fourth girl scolds him, he can stand it.

Hearing this, Zhang Chengyuan said happily: "Sister, thank you." ”

Cheng Youli said coldly: "Don't be happy too early, my sisters will know about this sooner or later." See how you end up then? ”

Zhang Chengyuan said inch by inch: "Sister Youli, can you help me when the time comes, help me persuade Sister Xiaoli?" ”

Li Zhen obviously doesn't blame him too much, and Yuzhuxuan seems to be strong, but in fact her personality is also very soft, he can get her in three or two clicks, the key is Li Xiaoli, she is not very easy to talk.

He has always been most afraid of Lee Hyori, and he does not dare or want to bear her anger unless he has to. And in addition to him, Li Youli hurts Cheng Youli the most, and Cheng Youli is his real wife in the future, as long as Cheng Youli is willing to help him persuade Li Youli, then Li Youli's anger can definitely lose three points, or even more.

Cheng Youli said angrily: "Don't you think you're too excessive and shameless? ”

Zhang Chengyuan pretended to be pitiful and said: "I also know that Lu Dao is very shameless and excessive, but Sister Youli, in addition to this method, I really don't know how to persuade Sister Xiaoli to do it, she may kill me in a fit of anger." ”

Cheng Youli glared at him and said, "If that's the case, then it's good, there will be one less bad man in this world." ”

Zhang Chengyuan continued to plead: "Sister Youli, just pity me, I'll give you a back beating and massage every day in the future, okay?" ”

Cheng Youli said disdainfully: "This kind of thing, I'm just afraid that you can't wait for it, right?" ”

"Then I'll give you a horse to ride? Or pretend to be a puppy to amuse you, Wang ...... Wang ......"

Cheng Youli tried his best to tense his facial muscles, but he still couldn't help laughing softly, and said, "You scoundrel, what are you calling nonsense?" ”

"I'm trying to please my mistress!"

……

Maybe having no face and no skin is also a kind of ability, which can touch a woman's heart; Perhaps women feel that a capable man is willing to put down his self-esteem to please her, which is a sign of love. As soon as Zhang Chengyuan put down his body, Cheng Youli relented and promised to help him persuade Li Xiaoli.

Zhang Chengyuan was overjoyed, and thought: "To deal with the four sisters, it is really more effective to be dead and shameless, and if you make the sisters angry again in the future, you have to use this trick!" ”

I have to say that Zhang Chengyuan's face is sometimes really thick. After using this trick, he didn't feel embarrassed at all, in his heart, the four sisters were more precious than his lives, and a little face was nothing, anyway, no one else saw it. It's nothing to even be seen, as long as it makes the sisters happy and makes them continue to love him, it's worth it! To be honest, although he has a lot of ability, he is just an ordinary man who longs for love!

Of course, Jang Sung-won will only use this trick against the four daughters of Fin.k.l, at most plus a few sisters such as Kim Tae-hee and Ha Ji-won, and for other women, even if he loves them and likes them again, he will never do it! For other women, he prefers to use strong means.
