Chapter 34: Reflection and Silence
When I woke up, it was already dark, I turned on the light and looked at my watch, it was already more than 2 o'clock in the morning, my stomach was rumbling, and then I remembered that I seemed to have forgotten to eat lunch, and I cooked five packs of ramen noodles as fast as possible to fill my stomach, and I felt more comfortable and refreshed. Thinking that he would have such an inexplicable idea yesterday, he couldn't help but laugh a few times in embarrassment.
I thought: "I have no trouble with the eight characters, men and women must be happy with each other to come together, and I will go with the flow in the future, why bother to be greedy to the point of wanting to have everything." But after all, I was once a cultivator, so how could secular rituals and laws restrain me? I do not want everything to be in my heart, but I want my mind to be free and not to be at the mercy of others. If all my sisters were close to me, would I choose only one and give up the rest? As long as they want, we can live together for the rest of our lives, so why should we pay attention to the criticism and slander of worldly people? ”
After paying attention, Zhang Chengyuan's mood immediately improved a lot, and he thought that he was still young and his sisters' intentions were not clear, so it seemed too early to think about this, so he stopped thinking about it, and after reviewing the acting knowledge and skills he had learned in the past few days, he went to bed again.
When he woke up again, it was already dawn, and after a fist and kick in the small courtyard, he suddenly had an urge to see the four Fin.k.l girls immediately, and when he was about to take action immediately, he suddenly remembered that they had gone to Atlanta a few days ago to participate in some kind of performance, and by the way, they had to stay there for a while, and it was estimated that they had not returned yet. A stream of enthusiasm suddenly dissipated, his mind returned to clarity, and he secretly warned himself: "Do nothing but do nothing, don't act recklessly." If the Dao Heart is damaged because of this, I am afraid that I will not be able to maintain even the peak realm of the current "Qi Cultivation and Refinement", and may even further damage the Yuan Shen that has not fully recovered its health. ”
After some vigilance, Zhang Chengyuan went back to the room to meditate on luck, meditated on Huang Ting, stabilized his mind, and reflected: "In the year since I was reborn, my greed has gradually become stronger, and now I almost can't suppress it. Once you become a slave of desire, you are only afraid that your cultivation in your previous life will be wiped out and cannot be regenerated, and if this is the case, you are afraid that life is better than death.
As the saying goes, a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. Over the past year, I have worked hard in the entertainment industry with my own conditions and efforts, and although what I have done has been tricky, it is not obscure, and it can be regarded as upright, enough to be worthy of admiration and not shake the heart of the Dao. Money is like this, love and affection should be like this, but now I have a lustful mind, and I have a dirty heart, which makes my mood wavering and difficult to calm down, so that I almost ruined my Dao heart. It seems that in the future, we must always reflect on ourselves, otherwise, we will definitely repeat the mistakes of today. ”
In order to calm his mind, Zhang Chengyuan stayed at home almost every day to read Taoist books in addition to attending classes, necessary work and occasionally visiting friends.
During this time, Park Byungyeol was very considerate of Jang Sung-won as a college entrance examination pre-emptive soldier who was busy with his studies, so he did not give Jang Sung-won a lot of work. On the other hand, his mind was gradually drawn by the company's new model Kim Tae-hee, and he no longer walked around Jang Sung-won every day. Recently, Kim Tae-hee has been born in the fashion industry and advertising industry with his fresh image of captivating the country and the city, and has become the most popular model star.
The reasons for this are, Park Byung-yeol and Jang Sung-won believe that there may be several reasons: First, Kim Tae-hee has the golden sign of Seoul University. Zhang Chengyuan's fame, in addition to his outstanding appearance and temperament, is more due to Zhang Dongjian's east wind, which can be seen from the fact that he is called "Zhang Dongjian's younger brother". And Kim Tae-hee, in addition to almost unmatched beauty, relies on the fame and brand effect of Seoul University. It is important to know that talents from prestigious universities such as Seoul University in Namdo have almost unrivaled influence in Korean society, involving politics, finance, business, entertainment and other aspects, and under the same conditions, people from prestigious universities will always receive preferential treatment.
Second, Kim Tae-hee has an advantage in age. Zhang Chengyuan is still studying in colleges and universities because he is still underage, and many products cannot be endorsed, such as soju, credit cards, financial products, apartment buildings and other adult supplies. Kim Tae-hee does not have such restrictions, and the variety and number of endorsement products make many big-name stars ashamed. Moreover, college coursework is much easier than that of higher education, and it is more casual to come and go, and even postpone graduation by a few years is not a big problem, so naturally there is more time and energy to spend on work, so that more and more advanced products can be endorsed.
Third, according to the criteria for selecting models in the advertising industry, when choosing male models, in addition to considering appearance and figure, we should also consider factors such as the model's temperament and product fit at the same or even higher level. When choosing a female model, in many cases, appearance is the first consideration, followed by other factors, or even no other factors at all, because the temperament of a stunning beauty can basically be varied with the support of makeup skills and can adapt to most product types. At this point, it is difficult for the current Zhang Chengyuan to do it.
The first two points are the common views of Park Byungyeol and Jang Sung-won, and the third point is Park Byungyeol's personal feelings, which are the conclusions he has reached after careful observation in the advertising industry over the years.
Park Byung-yeol and Jang Sung-won also came to a conclusion at the same time: In the next two or three years, Jang Sung-won's results will definitely not be as good as Kim Tae-hee's.
In view of the fact that Jang Sung-won still has to prepare for the college entrance examination this year, Park Byungyeol naturally shifted the company's focus to Kim Tae-hee. Of course, with his long-term vision, he will not do anything to snub Zhang Chengyuan. Even considering that Jang Sung-won may have deep complaints about Kim Tae-hee taking away his scenery, he also talked to Jang Sung-won many times, explained that Jang Sung-won should focus on his studies first, and then show his strength in the next year, and hinted that Jang Sung-won said that he is still the most important artist in the company, let him relax and study hard and strive to be admitted to a famous university, and don't have some useless ideas.
This made Jang Sung-won a little baffled, he had a deep affection for Kim Tae-hee, and although he gave up the idea of pursuing Kim Tae-hee after confirming that Kim Tae-hee had a boyfriend, he was still very friendly to her. In the limited time of contact, the two also formed a relatively close sister and brother relationship. Because they have known each other for a relatively short time, the relationship between them cannot be compared with the relationship between Zhang Chengyuan and Fin.k.l's sister and brother for the time being.
Besides, with Zhang Chengyuan's cold and arrogant character to the bones, how can he let go of his self-esteem to be jealous of others, and he is still a woman?
Zhang Chengyuan not only did not feel jealous, but was very relieved of the status quo and was not worried at all about his career that had not improved in the past few months. Just as he himself thought before, do nothing and do nothing, just go with the flow.
Park Byung-yeol was overjoyed by Kim Tae-hee's thriving performance, but he was also worried about Jang Sung-won's career, which had not made much progress. The Korean entertainment industry is the best at packaging idol stars, and most of them will disappear at a rapid rate after releasing a dazzling light. Park Byungyeol was afraid that if Jang Sung-won did not advance, he would retreat and become a suffocating meteor, so in June, he heard that KBS TV was going to start filming a youth love drama in the near future, and several young actors with new faces were needed to participate, and he was recruiting suitable actors, so he anxiously got the relevant information for Jang Sung-won, and asked Jang Sung-won to be fully prepared in order to win a good role.
