After getting to know each other with the girls, in order not to disturb their practice, Zhang Chengyuan encouraged them a few more words, signed them one by one, and then dragged the Zheng sisters out of the city. At this time, it was not long before lunch time, so he simply asked Zheng Xiuyan to end this morning's practice in advance, anyway, Zheng Xiuyan has been practicing hard for so many years, and it will definitely not have any effect if she misses this moment and a half. And ** The company is in full swing recently preparing to launch a new female singer group, and it doesn't have much attention to strictly manage these young female trainees, so it's quite easy for Zheng Xiuyan to come out.

I found a western restaurant, ordered steak and other food, and the three of them had a delicious meal. But it's not because of how good the food is, it's because all three of them are in a good mood. During the meal, Zhang Chengyuan looked at Zheng Xiuyan and said: "I can't imagine that you have met so many friends of the same age now, didn't you always be called 'iceberg' before?" ”

Zheng Xiuyan muttered dissatisfiedly: "Aren't you the same as me?" Once upon a time, Zhang Chengyuan was several times colder than Zheng Xiuyan, and even Zheng Xiuyan sometimes shuddered when she saw him, but after several years of crawling in the entertainment industry, Zhang Chengyuan was much more sleek, and the cold arrogance in his bones was almost all restrained by him, but it is difficult to guarantee that one day his status will rise to a certain level.

After Zheng Xiuyan complained, seeing that Zhang Chengyuan was still looking at her without squinting, waiting for her to reply, she replied honestly: "The company plans to launch a large men's group and a large women's group within two or three years, so we will circle our group of female trainees who are about the same age, have the best performance or the most potential for training." It's no surprise that we've been together for a long time and have a natural relationship! ”

Zhang Chengyuan said a little incredulously: "The decision-makers of your company are really whimsical, more than a dozen people are combined into a team, can they only sing one or two sentences per person when performing in the future?" After thinking for a moment, he continued: "You have to practice hard in the future, and if you don't want to be eliminated in the end, it's better to give me more effort." ”

In Zhang Chengyuan's mind, the company's planning is not only extremely risky, but also the investment is definitely not small, in order to reduce costs, the selection of debutants will be extremely strict, so that every group member is the elite of the elite. Although Zheng Xiuyan is a trainee with old qualifications, she may be eliminated if she is not careful.

Zheng Xiuyan said solemnly: "I know that I won't relax." I thought to myself, "How can I give you the opportunity to look down on me?" ”

After lunch, Zheng Xiuyan went back to the company to continue practicing, while Zhang Chengyuan drove Xiaojing home, accompanied her to do her homework, and played games with her, until she fell asleep at nine o'clock in the evening before leaving Zheng's house. When leaving, he did not forget to say goodbye to Zheng's father and Zheng's mother, as well as Zheng Xiuyan, who had just returned home.

With the broadcast of the two episodes of "X-Man" that Zhang Chengyuan participated in, his popularity continued to rise, and he received many more notices, and after entering November, he became even busier, not only became a frequent guest of various variety shows, but also successively filmed the covers of several well-known fashion magazines, and even endorsed the advertisements of two medium-sized enterprises, as for various large and small catwalks and business performances, there are more.

On this day, when he was practicing hip-hop dance at the dance academy, he suddenly received a call from the company's representative, his manager, Park Byungyeol, asking him to rush to the company, saying that he had something important to tell him.

When he arrived at the company, in Park Byungyeol's office, Jang Sung-won unexpectedly found that Kim Tae-hee, the company's most profitable chief artist, was also present, and immediately stepped forward to greet after being stunned for a moment: "Sister Tae-hee, you are here too!" "The relationship between the two is extraordinary, in the absence of outsiders, some formalized etiquette is basically saved, and at this time there are only the two of them in the office.

Kim Tae-hee beckoned to him, asked him to sit next to her, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "During this time, my sister is really happy for you to see you regain your position." ”

Zhang Chengyuan said with a smile: "I also want to thank Sister Xie for her previous help!" When Jang Sung-won was just discharged from the army, his popularity almost dropped to the bottom, if it weren't for Kim Tae-hee shooting an advertisement with him and promising to create an affair with him, Jang Sung-won wanted to turn over, but I was afraid that it would take a lot more effort.

Kim Tae-hee said: "Don't say anything grateful, my sister doesn't like to hear it, just keep it in your heart, maybe my sister will rely on you to pull it in the future!" Facing Jang Sung-won, Kim Tae-hee has always spoken very directly, unlike in front of reporters, every sentence has to be carefully considered before speaking.

Zhang Chengyuan suddenly picked up one of her Qianqian jade hands, lowered his head, kissed it gently, then let go, and said, "Sister Taixi, it's really my luck in my life to know you." In addition to Lee Hyo-ri's four sisters, Kim Tae-hee seems to be the best among the sisters he knows, so he only has gratitude and admiration for this kiss, and there is no blasphemy.

Kim Tae-hee touched his head and said, "I don't know why, every time I see you, I feel very kind, just like I see my own brother Kim Hyung-so." But you're more handsome, stronger, and more empathetic than him. ”

Not only Kim Tae-hee feels this way, but all the people Jang Sung-won wants to open his heart to befriend, such as Ha Ji Won, Moon Geun-young, Yoon Eun-hye and others, can always easily and directly feel Jang Sung-won's most sincere emotions from Jang Sung-won's eyes and behavior, so he unconsciously recognizes and accepts him, and treats him as a close friend who can make friends. Moreover, even if there is no contact for a long time, this emotion will not fade away, and it seems to be able to last for a long time.

Zhang Chengyuan understands that this is the side effect of his Yuan Shen strength, relying on this powerful cheat, he has made many sincere friends, but he never feels that this is an immoral behavior, because he also pays sincerely. And if he didn't meet someone who was really kind-hearted and could make him look at him, he wouldn't use this trick.

When Jang Sung-won and Kim Tae-hee were chatting happily, Park Byung-yeol hurriedly walked in and said, "Sorry, I've kept you waiting, there was an urgent ...... at home just now" Although he is the boss of the company, Park Byungyeol will never put up a stand with Jang Sung-won, Kim Tae-hee and others.

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Chengyuan immediately stopped him and said: "Representative, brother, you don't need to tell us about your sister-in-law, we can't help you, even if you want to help, we will only help my sister-in-law, who told us that our income is all in her hands." ”

Park Byungyeol is an outlier among Korean men, he loves his wife very much, and he is afraid that her wife is terribly afraid, perhaps it is for this reason that his temperament has always been so kind, and he will be so kind to Zhang Chengyuan and other artists and staff. Speaking of which, Jang Sung-won and others should thank Park Byungyeol's wife.

Park Byungyeol coughed a few times in embarrassment, and then turned to the topic: "The company just received two audition invitations this morning, it is a moon fire drama that SBS TV is preparing to broadcast in late November, the name is "Love at Harvard", the content, you can roughly guess what kind of story it is by listening to the title of the play. Here's the synopsis of the story and the script for the first few episodes, you go home and take a good look at it, decide if you want to take it or not, and tell me your decision by noon tomorrow. Personally, I hope you'll be on the next move! Because this is a TV series that can take your career to the next level! Of course, even if you want to take it, you have to go through the audition first. ”

Jang Sung-won and Kim Tae-hee signed contracts with the company are relatively loose, and both of them have the right to choose their own scripts, while the company only has the right to suggest, so Park Byungyeol can't force the two of them to take on TV dramas that they are not interested in.

Jang Sung-won asked, "What kind of character is it?" ”

Park Byungyeol slapped his forehead and said, "Oh! I almost forgot to explain this, it's the hero and heroine, with your current popularity, the company won't let you play a supporting role. ”

Kim Tae-hee didn't ask, just opened the script and read it carefully, and after reading just two pages, he said: "I like this drama very much, and the character image is quite suitable for me, I don't have to wait for tomorrow, I have decided to participate in the audition now." After a pause, he said: "Cheng Yuan, I think this drama is also quite suitable for you, so why don't you participate in it too." ”

Jang Sung-won hadn't even opened the script yet, and when he heard Kim Tae-hee say this, he said bluntly: "Okay, I dreamed of cooperating with Sister Tae-hee on a TV series." Representative, I don't think about it, you just tell me when to audition and what to pay attention to when auditioning! ”

Park Byungyeol said: "According to what I heard, the heroine has basically been finalized as Tae-hee, so her audition is basically a formality, and of course Tae-hee can't be too careless." ”

Kim Tae-hee nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll be seriously prepared." "The expression is not arrogant or discouraged.

Park Byungyeol continued: "But Sung Won is in trouble, because his opponent is very strong, and he is the most popular TV star Kim Rae-won in the past two years." ”

Kim Tae-hee frowned and said, "Is it Kim Rae-won, who is known as the Four Little Kings of TV dramas by industry insiders?" As soon as she heard that it was "Jin Laiyuan", she couldn't help but worry about Zhang Chengyuan, because Zhang Chengyuan's opponent was indeed not comparable to the current Zhang Chengyuan.

Before Zhang Chengyuan joined the army, Jin Laiyuan had just emerged in the film and television industry, and his popularity was many times worse than that of Zhang Chengyuan at that time, but two years have passed, Jin Laiyuan has become one of the hottest stars with popular TV series such as "Red Bean Girl's Love" and "House Tower Kitten", and has won the MBC Acting Awards Best Acting Award, the Most Popular Actor of the Year Award, Andre Golden Star Award, the 41st Film Dazhong Award for Best Newcomer and so on.

Although Jang Sung-won's appearance conditions are better than him, and his acting skills are not inferior to him, but when fighting for popularity, audience appeal of TV dramas, and status in the entertainment industry, Jang Sung-won is almost powerless, no wonder Park Byung-yeol and Kim Tae-hee are not very optimistic about him.

In fact, when Park Byungyeol introduced him to Kim Rae-won's situation, Jang Sung-won himself didn't think that there was a chance to win, unless Kim Rae-won gave up voluntarily or was injured and sick or something. However, with Zhang Chengyuan's firm will, it is impossible to give up before he starts, as long as there is a slight opportunity, he will do his best to fight for it. Of course, if there was a better choice, he would not be tied to a tree.

In the next few days, Zhang Chengyuan stayed at home every day, devoting himself to the speculation of the script, almost to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat.

Unfortunately, not everything pays off after struggle. A few days later, Park Byungyeol called Jang Sung-won and said regretfully: "Sung-won, you don't need to prepare for the audition for "Love at Harvard" anymore, the actor has already designated Kim Rae-won. ”

Zhang Chengyuan was stunned for a while, and finally sighed: "Forget it, I really can't compare to him now!" After speaking, he fell directly into the arms of Cheng Youli, who was sitting next to him, and Cheng Youli hurriedly patted his head comfortingly.

Park Byungyeol continued: "But you don't have to curse, I found an audition for you for a TV series, and it is also the male lead." ”

Zhang Chengyuan said suspiciously: "There won't be any great opponents, my eldest brother, don't play tricks on me anymore, I haven't slept well for five or six days." After glancing at Cheng Youli, he added in his heart: "I didn't even move Sister Youli by my side!" ”

Park Byungyeol said: "Don't worry this time, your opponent this time is not a high-level like Kim Rae-won, his stage name is 'Jae-hee', he is not famous, but he has just been shortlisted for the newcomer award at the Blue Dragon Film Festival in South Korea." ”

Zhang Chengyuan said with some annoyance: "This is also called just? The Blue Dragon Film Festival is one of the highest film awards in South Korea, and actors who can win the Newcomer Award are vegetarians. I haven't won the Newcomer Award yet! "Audition for "Love at Harvard".

Park Byungyeol hurriedly said: "The Blue Dragon Film Festival will not be held until the end of November, and he is only shortlisted now, and he has not won the award yet, so his current popularity and fame are still worse than yours, and your chances of winning are still very good!" Cheng Yuan, you have to believe in yourself, you are the best! ”

Zhang Chengyuan calmed down, cheered up, and said: "Brother Park, I lost my temper just now, you don't have to worry, it doesn't matter if he has a newcomer award or not, this time it is Zhang Dongjian's predecessor who is here, and I will also defeat him." ”

Although Park Byungyeol didn't think that Jang Sung-won had a 1 in 10,000 chance of defeating Jang Dong-kun, since Jang Sung-won cheered up, he happily agreed: "Yes, yes, as an actor, you should have this kind of confidence!" ”
