Chapter 303: Interviewed

Tianming, after breakfast, and Li Duohai for a while, Zhang Chengyuan took Yin Enhui to the set to film, originally Yin Enhui had just broken and was not suitable for work today, but under Zhang Chengyuan's treatment, her body basically returned to normal, so she could film normally, provided that the intensity was not too great.

And after the two of them left, Li Duohai went back to the bedroom to make up for a nap, and did not leave until more than ten o'clock in the morning. Pillowed Zhang Chengyuan's arm last night, making her feel extremely warm, comfortable and at ease, even though Zhang Chengyuan had left at this time, this feeling still existed, making her a little reluctant to leave this room. But even if she is reluctant, she has to leave, because she knows that she is not the mistress of this apartment, and she can never be, at most she can only be one of the permanent tenants.

Thinking of this, she was a little sad, and thought to herself: "Even though I have repeatedly said to myself since yesterday that what I like is only Brother Cheng Yuan, and I don't need to care about anything else, I actually have the idea of wanting to be his wife in my heart." Am I being too greedy? Shaking her head, sighing again, and cheering herself up, she left with her head held high.

The time turned to August 23, and on this day, the broadcast and filming of "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop" were nearing the end.

In terms of broadcasting, the show aired the 15th and 16th episodes on the 20th and 21st, if the crew hadn't temporarily decided to shoot another episode two weeks ago, this TV series would have ended, and the ratings of recent episodes have also been quite good, having exceeded 30%, reaching 33.1% at the peak, which is also the highest rating of major TV stations in modern love idol dramas so far this year. It can be seen that the Korean audience admires and loves this drama, and it can be said that with this TV series. Yoon Eun-hye and Jang Sung-won are sure to win good awards at the MBC Acting Awards at the end of the year. It is even possible to win at next year's Baeksang Art Awards.

In terms of shooting. At this time, the crew is working overtime to shoot the scene of the last episode, and more than half of the scenes have been filmed, for Zhang Chengyuan, it takes nearly a week to shoot an episode of the scene, it is too leisurely, he was shooting two episodes a week in the first few weeks, and he could cope with it quite easily at that time, and now he is more than enough. So. He has time to work on other announcements, such as the promotional event for the premiere of the Hollywood movie "Rush Hour 3" in South Korea.

Maybe because the Asian premieres have been held in Japan and Hong Kong, or maybe they don't pay much attention to the box office of "Rush Hour 3" in South Korea, so the crew of "Rush Hour 3" did not hold any premiere ceremony in South Korea, nor did they do a very grand publicity, but just asked Zhang Chengyuan, the only Korean actor in the film, and some related staff to take the time to attend some promotional activities of the film in South Korea, but Zhang Chengyuan was in a hurry to film during this time, so he politely refused this kind of publicity activity several times. For him, such propaganda activities are meaningless. It can neither make money nor increase popularity. Therefore, he was reluctant to participate.

But since he is an actor in this movie, he has to fulfill a little necessary obligation, and he must not participate in a single promotional event, so on August 23, the day of the premiere of "Rush Hour 3" in South Korea, he appeared at the MEGABOX Theater in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu to participate in a press conference.

In this press conference, Zhang Chengyuan first briefly explained the causes and consequences of getting the role of the villain in the film, his friendship with the actors in the play, his feelings about filming in Hollywood, and the behind-the-scenes story of the movie under the host's questions, and then it was the reporter's turn to ask.

"Mr. Zhang Chengyuan, you were originally filming in China, but this time you suddenly went to Hollywood to film, and you played the role of a villain that you have never played, do you feel uncomfortable?"

Zhang Chengyuan said: "I was really uncomfortable at first, after all, there are considerable differences between the national conditions, culture and working methods of the East and the West, but my adaptability is relatively strong, and there is no problem in English communication, and the crew members are also very friendly to me, especially Brother Cheng Long took care of me in every way, so I basically adapted to it in a few days."

As for my role in the movie, although I have never played this type before, because this role does not require very high acting skills, as long as I can play, I feel that I played it smoothly and very well. Of course, this is just my personal opinion, and after you have seen this movie, you have the right to make a personal evaluation of my acting skills. Although he said it quite modestly, from Zhang Chengyuan's expression and tone of voice, it can be seen that he is quite confident in his acting skills.

His self-confidence is also justified, as early as August 10, "Rush Hour 3" was released in North America, and the box office performance was quite good, and he sat on the top spot of the North American box office this week after three days of release, and although most of the media did not have a high overall evaluation of this movie, he praised Zhang Chengyuan, a new Asian face, saying that he was handsome, charming, and seductive; said that his action scenes are vigorous, majestic, and masculine; Although the expressions are almost the same throughout the movie, through the slight changes in the eyes and subtle mannerisms that seem to be able to speak, it is easy for the audience to deeply experience the bitter emotions in his heart, so that the audience not only does not hate him as a villain, but has deep sympathy for him.

Even newspapers such as the Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune praised him as the most promising Asian rookie actor and one of the future action superstars. Such an evaluation is quite high for a newcomer who is new to Hollywood movies for the first time. It is precisely this kind of evaluation that makes Zhang Chengyuan have the confidence to say that his acting skills are good at the press conference today.

The reporters did not question this, they all knew the evaluation of Zhang Chengyuan by the American media, so even if there were reporters who were unhappy with Zhang Chengyuan, they would not find fault in this regard.

Reporter: "You just said that you speak English well, can you show it live?" ”

If a reporter had asked Zhang Chengyuan so much a few weeks ago, Zhang Chengyuan would definitely not bother to pay attention to this boring request, but now he has to answer carefully. Because last month, the "fake academic degree incident" broke out in the Korean literary circle, and then the matter became bigger and bigger, involving more and more celebrities. There are even industry insiders who assert. There may be 80% of people in the Korean literary circle who have falsely reported their academic qualifications!

In this case. Many celebrities are almost at risk, because at the beginning of their debut, most artists are either voluntarily or forced by the agency to raise their academic qualifications, and it is difficult to change their words at this time, once they are exposed or automatically admitted, it will have a considerable impact on their popularity.

In addition, some artists with real academic qualifications have also suffered from the disaster of "suffering from the pond fish", and some netizens suspect that they have forged their academic qualifications or do not have the corresponding level of cultural knowledge corresponding to their academic qualifications. A few days ago. Kim Tae-hee was commented that "Seoul National University graduates can't even speak English well" and "famous university graduates have such poor acting skills", and Jang Sung-won, who has a close relationship with Kim Tae-hee and is also a student of Seoul National University, has also suffered some attacks. Of course, no one will say that his acting skills are poor, but doubt his English level and professional ability.

Individual media also took the opportunity to interview professors and students of Seoul National University to learn about Zhang Chengyuan's learning in school, and after learning that Zhang Chengyuan returned to school in the first half of 04, the average time to go to school each semester was less than 20 days, so he hurriedly hyped it, which made more netizens question whether Zhang Chengyuan has the ability to match his academic qualifications. Because Zhang Chengyuan's popularity has always been extremely prosperous, this kind of questioning is currently in an uproar on the Internet, which has also had a certain impact on Zhang Chengyuan's popularity.

In this case. Faced with the reporter's request for Zhang Chengyuan to show his English proficiency, Zhang Chengyuan could not refuse. Lest people think that he has a weak heart, at the moment, he replied in English: "What is my English level?" It's not like I'm talking a few words in everyday conversation, but if you really want to check my English level, you can go into the screening room and watch Rush Hour 3 later, and you'll know what to expect after watching it. Or I can answer all your questions in English from now on, but I'm a lazy person, if I say it in English, I don't bother to say it again in Korean, and if there are reporters who don't understand, you can bear with me! ”

Knowing that this reporter was here to find fault, Zhang Chengyuan naturally didn't bother to be too polite to him, so he took him instead. There are old and young reporters present, and most of them specialize in interviewing domestic stars, so a considerable number of reporters have not used English for a long time, and they have long been very unfamiliar with English. And if you find someone to be the translator, you waste interview time.

Out of this consideration, the reporter who asked the question did not dare to offend the colleagues present, so he could only politely refuse and sit down gloomily.

Other reporters didn't have a good impression of this reporter, obviously it was a film promotion press conference, but they questioned Zhang Chengyuan's English level, which was really a waste of time. Doesn't this guy know that Zhang Chengyuan has always been very strong in front of reporters, and he will never be afraid of offending reporters and seek compromise, and he has a flexible mind and a tight tone, unless he voluntarily reveals it, he will not be able to ask for any sensational news.

Then the reporters' questions also returned to normal, no one insinuated some questions about Zhang Chengyuan's academic qualifications or scandals, and the attitude was quite friendly, in this atmosphere, the press conference seemed to pass very quickly, more than an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and then the press conference ended.

As soon as it was over, Zhang Chengyuan politely refused the organizer's offer to keep him for dinner and left, but when he walked out of the side door of the theater, he was blocked by some reporters. These reporters wanted to interview Zhang Chengyuan's academic qualifications, and they knew that Zhang Chengyuan was in the habit of answering questions unrelated to the movie at the film press conference just now, but it was possible in the current situation, so they deliberately stayed to continue the interview.

Zhang Chengyuan saw that several of the reporters in this group were familiar faces, and he had interviewed him at least more than ten or twenty times, and considering that he was not particularly busy today, he stopped and prepared to answer a few questions before leaving.

"Mr. Jang Sung-won, it has been six and a half years since you entered Seoul National University, and you have been studying for four and a half years after two years of military service, but you have not yet graduated, how do you feel?"

Zhang Chengyuan said: "There are some regrets! Because he was filming abroad in December last year and at the end of June this year, he couldn't come back to take the graduation exam, so he hasn't graduated until now. ”

"When are you going to graduate?"

"Of course, the sooner the better, it's best to graduate at the end of this month, and now I'm applying to the school to hold a graduation make-up exam especially for me, but I don't know if the school will approve it!"

"You once said you would graduate early, but you haven't graduated so far, is there anything you would like to say to your fans?"

Zhang Chengyuan said: "I can only say sorry to them, I disappointed them, and I hope they won't think that I am untrustworthy." At the same time, I also want to advise myself not to boast too much in the future, so as not to embarrass myself if I can't do it. ”

"As far as we know, you don't go to school for more than twenty days a semester, and there are a lot of announcements every day, how do you study?"

Zhang Chengyuan: "I usually study at home, and after the announcement every day, except for the occasional gathering with friends, most of the time I eat books at home, and sometimes I study during the break between work, because I am too bored, I read books to pass the time."

By the way, because I'm an actor, my schedule isn't very busy, and it's much more leisurely than a lot of singers, like a few sisters I know, Girls' Generation, who often have to be busy until about one o'clock in the morning to rest, and I usually finish work at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, well, unless it's an all-night show, but this is rare, so I usually have a lot of time, enough time for me to have plenty of time to do my homework.

In addition, my grades in each period are also quite good, not as some netizens guessed, the results are a mess! You can check this with my professor. I think if it weren't for filming abroad, I would have graduated by now! ”

After answering a few more questions and saying what he wanted to say, Zhang Chengyuan excused himself to go back to filming and leave. The reporters didn't say anything, after all, Zhang Chengyuan was enough to give them face today. (To be continued......)
