Chapter Eighty-Seven: Drama Maniac

The day after the main members of the crew got to know each other, the crew immediately held a press conference, at which the main creators of "Haojie Chunxiang" were disclosed to the media and some of the situations before the filming of the drama was introduced.

A few days later, after filming some scenes in Seoul, the crew moved to Namwon, Jeollabuk-do, which is the hometown of Chunhyang in folklore and one of the most important filming locations for this TV series. It is estimated that for a long time, the entire crew will have to stay in this small city in southern South Korea.

Although the scenery of Namwon City is good, and the air is fresher than that of Seoul, Zhang Chengyuan is not happy, these days he has been accompanied by his sisters, enjoying all the blessings, now in addition to admiring Han Chaeying's beauty, what else can he enjoy? In addition to being unhappy, I can only clean up my mood and devote myself to my work.

His devotion made the director happy, but it also made the actors tired enough and felt a lot of pressure. Han Caiying couldn't help but complain to him once: "You guy is clearly a drama maniac, can you let us breathe a few more times?" This sentence definitely speaks to the hearts of all the crew members. There may be several reasons for this.

First, Zhang Chengyuan's memory is too good, when others are still working hard to memorize the lines, he just reads them twice at random, and he memorizes them all, and he can perform them very well, which makes people not envious, and at the same time has to work harder. In fact, Zhang Chengyuan is already clumsy, if he cheers up, as long as he looks at the ten lines at a glance, he can remember it clearly.

Second, Zhang Chengyuan was extremely focused during filming, and he entered the scene very quickly, almost all the shots were passed in one go, and they were completed quite wonderfully. Compared with him, the other actors who were originally quite good inevitably dwarfed, in order not to be compared to a young man, it was to do their best, although they often performed better results, but the mental and physical strength consumed also increased a lot, after a day of shooting, often there was no time to chat, and after eating something, I fell asleep quickly.

Third, Zhang Chengyuan is energetic, often tireless during filming, in order to be in a hurry, he likes to shoot one after another, and he doesn't have much rest in between, he himself feels that it doesn't matter, but it makes many actors who play with him feel very hard. But in order not to be compared too badly by him, these actors can only hold on, so they are tired.

Fourth, Jang Sung-won is too deep into the play, and in many cases the director shouts "CUT", he is still immersed in the plot, and his words and actions are the same as Li Menglong in the play, which makes people often worry about whether he will be schizophrenic. At this moment, Han Chaeyoung would always knock him on the head twice to make him wake up quickly.

Fifth, Zhang Chengyuan's fists and feet are too heavy, and he is too involved in acting, and often forgets to restrain his strength, so the action actors who beat him in the fight scenes, if they are not careful, they will suffer a lot, and they will hurt for several hours if they are lightly touched by him, if they are too bad luck to hit Zhang Chengyuan, the consequences will be even more serious, the light will be dislocated, and the heavy will hurt the bones, but Zhang Chengyuan has nothing at all.

Fortunately, when Zhang Chengyuan is in the state of Li Menglong, he will forget that he has internal strength, so there is no true qi attached to his fists and feet, and he will not hurt people too badly. However, even if there is no major injury, these actors are also unbearable, although Zhang Chengyuan will apologize to them very sincerely every time after the incident, and they all know that Zhang Chengyuan is not intentional, but it is really difficult to have a good impression of Zhang Chengyuan, and often scolds Zhang Chengyuan in his heart for being a madman, thinking that although he is usually normal, he may go crazy as soon as he films.

All this, and many more, not only the crew members were shocked, but even Jang Sung-won himself was deeply surprised after listening to Han Chaeyoung, it seems that he has never been too deep in the drama when filming before!

"Could it be that you miss your sisters so much that you're going crazy?" He thought a little boredly. After thinking about it, he didn't feel any discomfort anyway, and his performance during filming was better, so that the progress was faster than expected, so that he could return to Seoul to reunite with his sisters faster. Thinking about it this way, Zhang Chengyuan didn't bother to find the reason.

With Jang Sung-won, a drama maniac, as a reference, the other actors in the crew also worked very hard, especially Han Chae-young, a heroine who has to play against Jang Sung-won every day. It is not too much to say that she is a heroine among women, not only is her acting skills very good, she plays Chunxiang vividly, as if she is Chunxiang, but also her willpower is very tenacious, not inferior to manhood, no matter how difficult the shooting environment is, how tired her body was at that time, she can grit her teeth and insist on shooting, which makes Zhang Chengyuan admire.

Although Zhang Chengyuan can do better, it is because he has physical fitness and strong mental strength that are incomparable to ordinary people, if he is just an ordinary person, maybe any actor present will be stronger than him. It's like some powerful person, when he loses power one day, maybe not even a beggar on the street.

Seeing that the actors are working so hard and performing well, director Jeon Ki-sang and screenwriter Hong sisters feel both relieved and excited, and they both feel that there will definitely be a very good response after the broadcast of this drama. In order to encourage the actors to make persistent efforts, the director took the initiative to give the actors more meals to comfort them many times, and Zhang Chengyuan, as the number one hero in the director's mind, was given one more benefit, every half a month, let him rest for a day or two, wherever he goes, as long as he can come back on time.

The director did this, in fact, it was a last resort, with Jang Sung-won here, the actors were stimulated too excited, too hard, this is a good thing but then a bad thing, because if you work too hard, your spirit will be too tight, and if you are not careful, it will break down, and then it will be wrong. So the director used the name of giving Zhang Chengyuan a holiday, and asked him to temporarily leave everyone's sight, so that everyone could relax. Anyway, Zhang Chengyuan is a drama maniac, and he is very fast and easy to enter the play, so he is not afraid that he will lose his state after a day or two of rest, and other actors do not have this kind of ability, so they don't have Zhang Chengyuan's preferential treatment.

With this kind of rare holiday privilege, how could Zhang Chengyuan not make good use of it while being grateful to the director? During the day or two when he rested, he drove back to Seoul without any nostalgia and without stopping, and went to find Lee Hyori and several other sisters to have a good reunion to relieve the pain of lovesickness.

However, his four sisters don't seem to have much time to spend with him recently. The eldest sister Lee Hyori has always been a busy person, and there are too many announcements to be received; Ok Joo-hyun is busy promoting her new album, and her second album just released in November; Li Zhen is busy on variety shows, and is preparing to shoot a reversal drama on SBS TV, which is currently loved by the audience; And Cheng Youli, who was originally the most leisurely, often went back to college to take classes during this time, and also signed up for acting training, so he didn't have much effort to pay attention to him.

After the last, Zhang Chengyuan's boss Park Byungyeol couldn't see that Zhang Chengyuan was so idle and energetic, so he immediately took over a batch of jobs for him, and asked him to go on variety shows, walk the runway, and shoot pictorials...... As long as he could receive the notice that was not too time-consuming, he basically took it for Zhang Chengyuan.

In addition, there was a regrettable event during this period, in the middle of this month, Cheng Youli's grandmother died, and for this, Cheng Youli fell into deep pain. Hearing the news, Lee Hyo-ri, Ok Joo-hyun, Lee Jin, Jang Sung-won and others immediately put down all their affairs and rushed to the funeral home to worship Sung Yoo-ri's grandmother, and comforted and encouraged her. Fortunately, after a few days of exhortation, Cheng Youli finally regained his strength, but occasionally a trace of grief and nostalgia flashed in his eyes.
