Chapter 479 "Knee Taoist" VI
After that, Jiang Hudong began to ask Zhang Chengyuan about the relevant situation, and asked: "Chengyuan, since your debut, your development has been relatively smooth, and within a few years, you have become one of the most valuable models in the advertising industry and a quasi-first-line star in the TV industry, but why did you choose to enlist in the army when your career was going well?" So that after returning from the army, his career plummeted, and he almost had to get up from the bottom again. ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "I didn't think much about it at the time, but I just felt that since I had to serve sooner or later, it would be easier to be earlier than later, and it would be more appreciated by the people." Moreover, I was too confident at the time, and I felt that with my ability, even if my career slipped to the bottom after leaving the army, I would still be able to rise easily. So I signed up for the army. But now I regret it a little? ”
Jiang Hudong said: "What do you regret? ”
Zhang Chengyuan said with a smile: "I regret enlisting too early, you must know that the term of my army service at that time was a full two years, but now the term of army service is only 21 or 22 months, two or three months less than before." It feels like a bit of a loss! ”
Jiang Hudong also smiled and said: "I also feel the same way, those who served in the past have indeed suffered losses, but this also shows that the military service system is more reasonable." After a pause, he asked, "Besides this, there is nothing else to regret?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "Well, another thing that makes me regret a little is that if I hadn't enlisted in the army at that time, then maybe my relationship with Sister Youli could have started earlier." ”
Jiang Hudong said: "Except for these, there is nothing else?" Don't you regret the slippage of your career? The feeling of falling from a high place to a low place and being despised or even ignored by others should be very uncomfortable, right? ”
Zhang Chengyuan said indifferently: "This is a problem that almost every male artist has to face after retiring from the army." So there's nothing to regret. ”
Jiang Hudong said: "Then after being discharged from the army." What kind of effort you made. to become an A-list star again? ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "Doesn't everyone know these things, I was able to regain the recognition of industry insiders, the media and the public by starring in the two dramas "The Crown Prince's First Love" and "Haojie Chunxiang". ”
Jiang Hudong said: "It's not for you to say this, but to tell some behind-the-scenes stories that everyone doesn't know." Forget it, let me ask the question, otherwise you won't answer honestly. ”
Zhang Chengyuan smiled: "Then you ask, I'll try to answer." However, I won't say what I shouldn't say. ”
Jiang Hudong asked: "According to the information collected by our program team. Not long after you made your comeback, you had an affair with Miss Kim Tae-hee? Is there such a thing? ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "Yes, at that time, I was in the same brokerage company as Sister Taixi, and the company arranged for us to cooperate on several advertisements, and then gradually there were scandals. ”
Jiang Hudong said: "Some people speculate that this scandal was actually released by your company itself, is this the case?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan shook his head and said, "There is no such thing." However, there have been moves to lead media reporters to misunderstand. ”
"What move?"
Zhang Chengyuan said: "When the company gave us contact ads, they tried to contact ads with couple characters, and at the same time, they also made us appear more intimate during filming. You also know that there are some reporters who like to chase after the wind. As long as we are a little closer, they will naturally report on our scandals. In this way, we don't have to do it ourselves, and we have already achieved our goal. ”
"For what purpose?"
Zhang Chengyuan said bluntly: "Through the scandal, I will re-increase my exposure and attract the attention of the people." ”
Jiang Hudong said: "Do you and Miss Kim Tae-hee agree to this decision of the company in advance?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan nodded and said, "I'm naturally embarrassed to say that I don't agree, after all, it's for my good, and if I say I don't agree, it will also seem very hypocritical, as if I look down on Sister Taixi." And Sister Taixi, who is a senior and senior of the same school as me, has a very close relationship with me, and when she heard that the company had decided this, she agreed without hesitation. ”
Jiang Hudong said: "Do you think it's right to use hype scandals to increase exposure and popularity?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "It's hard for me to evaluate whether it's right or not, after all, I am a vested interest in this scandal." However, if I had a choice, I don't think I would use this way to re-establish my reputation. ”
Jiang Hudong said: "But you still caused a lot of scandals later." ”
Zhang Chengyuan shook his head and said: "The scandals that followed were all made up by some reporters themselves to increase sales or ratings, and neither I nor the company did anything more." Moreover, these scandals have brought me almost no help at all, except for the infamy and anti-corruption that have caused me a lot of infamy. What's even worse is that these scandals made my future father-in-law have a rather bad impression of me, and this is one of the most important reasons why he is reluctant to marry Sister Youli to me right away. He said he was going to examine me for a few years. ”
Jiang Hudong was stunned, and said with a smile: "There is still this kind of thing? Sounds interesting! ”
After laughing for a while, he suppressed his laughter and continued: "Well, now let's talk about the next topic, we all know that you participated in the filming of the Hollywood movie "RushHour3" in the second half of 06, but we don't know how you got into the Hollywood crew, did they take the initiative to come to you, or did your company take the initiative to contact them? ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "No, it was during the Spring Festival of 06 when I was traveling in Hong Kong with Sister Youli, I accidentally met the action superstar of the world, that is, the star of "RushHour3", Brother Cheng Long, and became friends with him, and it happened that "RushHour3" was looking for a villain roleplayer, and he saw that I was good and an actor, so he recommended me to the Hollywood crew. A few months later, the Hollywood crew told me to go to an audition, so I went, and I passed the interview and starred in the film. ”
Jiang Hudong said: "So, Mr. Cheng Long is your nobleman?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Jiang Hudong said: "I'm curious how you became friends with him, can you tell me?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan pondered for a moment and said, "I didn't want to say it, but since you asked." I'll talk about it in general. That day. Sister Yori and I were wandering the streets of Hong Kong. Unexpectedly encountered an imminent car accident, I took action to save the person, and at this time, Brother Cheng Long happened to pass by in the car, and when he saw this scene, he admired me very much, and sent someone to stop me, saying that he wanted to know me, and then we met like this. Since I spoke Chinese, I had a good conversation with him, and he liked to make friends, so we became friends, of course, just ordinary friends at the time. ”
Previously, although he had mentioned this matter to the Chinese Xinlang media, he had never told the South Korean media, so Jiang Hudong didn't know about it.
Jiang Hudong said with envy: "Your luck is really good, wandering on the street can allow you to meet Cheng Long, a superstar in the world." But. If you hadn't rescued people, Cheng Long wouldn't have noticed you. I won't know you anymore. So you can get to know Cheng Long that time, and you can be regarded as earning it yourself. He casually praised Zhang Chengyuan.
Zhang Chengyuan nodded slightly.
Jiang Hudong asked again, "So how did you start your second Hollywood movie, The ForbiddenKingdom?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "It is also recommended by Brother Cheng Long." He felt that I could play the villain of this movie, Yujiang God of War, so he recommended me to the crew. Luckily, I got the role again. ”
Jiang Hudong said: "You took over a Hollywood movie the year before last and last year, but you don't seem to have taken on a new Hollywood movie this year?" ”
"Nope. Hollywood movies are not so easy to star in, and I was lucky enough to participate in two Hollywood movies before just because I was lucky. ”
"So in the future, will you participate in Hollywood movies again?"
Zhang Chengyuan said: "It depends on whether there is a suitable opportunity." ”
He doesn't have to make Hollywood movies, if he doesn't have decent roles and okay scripts, he doesn't really want to take on Hollywood movies anymore, after all, there are many bad movies in Hollywood, and if he accidentally takes a bad movie, it will damage his fame and popularity. Of course, Hollywood movies may not be able to look up to him.
Jiang Hudong said: "Then I wish you this kind of opportunity." Well, Sung Won, in May of this year, that is, two months ago, you made a very surprising move that many people in South Korea, including me, couldn't understand, I want to ask, what did you think at that time, what was the reason that drove you to join the South Korean rescue team to the disaster area in China? ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "There is no special reason, but there was a strong voice in my heart at that time that said to me: 'You can't go, if you don't go, you will regret it for the rest of your life.'" So I went. ”
Jiang Hudong said: "Why do you think that if you don't go, will you regret it?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "I can't say this clearly, maybe it's because I have a very good impression of China, and because of my Chinese ancestry." ”
Jiang Hudong said: "Many netizens commented that when South Korea was hit by the disaster, they never saw you work so hard, but you almost sacrificed your life for the Chinese disaster victims, and said that in your heart, you attach more importance to China than South Korea, and want to be a Chinese." What do you think of this kind of talk? In fact, some netizens accused Zhang Chengyuan's words much more viciously than what Jiang Hudong said.
Zhang Chengyuan said: "What they think, what they say, that's their business, I don't want to pay attention to it." I only know that I haven't done anything to be sorry for South Korea, I have served in the military, I have paid taxes according to the law, I have never smeared South Korea, and I have never said anything bad about South Korea to anyone, so I am at ease. As for I like China, I like to make friends with Chinese, and I want to do something for China, that's my personal business, I can do what I like, and others can't care. ”
If other artists in South Korea are accused by netizens like this, they are afraid that they will be angry, anxious, and eager to defend themselves, but people like Jang Sung-won, who are arrogant and accustomed to centering on themselves and the people around them, don't take these accusations as one thing at all, and don't bother to refute them at all. Of course, this is also because he really wants to be a Chinese in his heart.
Jiang Hudong said: "Another thing that we can't understand is, how did you get into the Korean rescue team?" Before you, there doesn't seem to be a precedent for outsiders to enter a rescue team. ”
The reason for this, Zhang Chengyuan naturally wouldn't reveal it, so he said nonsense: "Brother Hudong, I can't answer this question, I promised others that I couldn't disclose it." ”
Jiang Hudong asked, "Is there some secret involved?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "I can't say. Brother Hudong, don't ask. ”
Jiang Hudong sighed. "I'm curious, too. But since you don't want to say. I won't ask that question anymore and will cut out this little piece in post-production. After a pause, he added: "Cheng Yuan, it is reported that you have rescued dozens of victims in the earthquake-stricken areas of China, is there such a thing?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "To be exact, it was with the rescue team of South Korea and many Chinese people who worked together to rescue these people, and I personally don't have so much credit, and I can't attribute all the credit for saving people to me." ”
Jiang Hudong said: "After you finish your trip to the disaster area. Many media outlets in China have reported on your deeds, praising you as 'the most caring and friendly Korean star'. ”
Zhang Chengyuan said lightly: "This is my honor." ”
"Moreover, because of this, the number of your fans in China has grown dramatically, and it is said that it has completely surpassed TVXQ, SuperJunior, Bae Yongjun, Lee Joon-gi and other Korean stars, becoming the most popular Korean star among Chinese now."
Zhang Chengyuan said with a smile: "No one counts, and we can't count the number of fans of our people in China, how can we know who is more popular?" And this comparison doesn't make much sense, so, Brother Hudong, you can change the subject. ”
Jiang Hudong said angrily: "Let me change the topic again?" Can't you honestly cooperate with me in answering questions? Alas. Forget it, for the sake of us being friends for many years. I'll give you a preferential treatment - change the topic as you like. Excuse me, on what grounds did you sue hundreds of netizens last month? ”
Zhang Chengyuan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Brother Hudong, your question is much sharper than the previous one, it is better not to change it." Or say it's preferential? ”
"What, you want to change the subject?" Jiang Hudong looked at Zhang Chengyuan with a smile.
"Forget it, it's better not to change it, lest your questions become more and more difficult to answer."
"Then let's start answering."
Zhang Chengyuan nodded, and said indifferently: "The answer is very simple, because what they did seriously damaged my reputation. ”
Jiang Hudong said: "Many celebrities and artists often encounter this kind of thing, but they usually communicate with these slanderers after the police hunt them down, and then forgive them magnanimously depending on the situation, especially the underage students among them, but you are every one of them to the end, and there is almost no tolerance, what is this for?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan said calmly: "On the Internet, there are a considerable number of slanderers who are minors, these people only rely on their likes and dislikes for a moment, insulting and intimidating others for no reason, fabricating or distorting facts to destroy the reputation of others, and the behavior is quite bad, and the minors I have pursued this time are all of this type, and they are all repeat offenders, in my opinion, if they are not held accountable, they will not be able to let them know the lessons, and they will not be able to be vigilant against more rumors on the Internet, so I don't want to tolerate them." ”
Jiang Hudong said: "Aren't you worried about being said to be narrow-minded and measureless?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan laughed and said: "I just protect my rights and interests in accordance with the law, whatever others say, it's up to them, as long as they don't slander me." ”
Jiang Hudong said: "Some people say that the reason why you made a big fuss and pursued so many people last month was because you wanted to be angry with your sister Zheng Xiuyan's group 'Girls' Generation', because most of these people who were sued by you have also slandered 'Girls' Generation'." ”
Zhang Chengyuan didn't deny it, and said lightly: "It's just by the way." ”
Jiang Hudong said: "Last month, the 'Black Sea Incident' of Girls' Generation was quite a sensation, and many programs have commented on this matter, since you have a close relationship with them, then let's talk about it." Cheng Yuan, what does Girlhood have to do with you? ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "Zheng Xiuyan in Girls' Generation is a sister I knew when I was in 00, it can be said that I watched her grow up, and I have always regarded her as my own sister, and most of the other members of Girls' Generation, I also knew them as early as 04, in my heart, they are also my sisters." Therefore, I very much do not want to see them subjected to wanton slander and insults. ”
"That's why you want to stand up for them, hold a press conference the day after the 'Black Sea Incident' to publicly support them, condemn the actions of certain fans, and then pursue a group of detractors to deter others?"
Zhang Chengyuan said: "That's right. However, if it weren't for someone who went too far, I wouldn't have been forced to do so. ”
Jiang Hudong suddenly turned his head slightly to look at Cheng Youli and asked, "Have you Fin.k.l encountered an incident similar to Girls' Generation before?" ”
Cheng Youli smiled faintly: "Of course, there were, many girl fans of the boy group didn't like us very much before, and many times we performed together, and when we came out to perform, they would hold the glow stick on their chests and make a cross to express their disapproval of us." ”
Jiang Hudong said: "At that time, did you and your company take any measures? ”
Cheng Youli shook his head and said, "No, I can only endure it." ”
Jiang Hudong smiled: "It's a pity that you don't have a good brother like Zhang Chengyuan, otherwise, it should be better." ”
Cheng Youli shook his head, noncommittal. In fact, in her opinion, suing netizens will not have much effect, and there will definitely be many people who spread rumors in the future, because this is a problem of the entire Korean society and Internet environment. Of course, Zhang Chengyuan is still very supportive of this. (To be continued......)
