Chapter 57: Another Scandal
After deciding on the first role after his return, Zhang Chengyuan settled down and began to figure out this arrogant and silent illegitimate role. On the one hand, find some similar roles from previous film and television works, experience how other actors play this type of role, and learn from them when they see the good side, and even understand the performance method that is more suitable for this role. When he saw some blunt and inappropriate acting methods, Zhang Chengyuan also kept it in mind to avoid making the same mistake in the future.
Over the past few days, with Yuanshen's strong analytical ability and almost sleepless strong will, Zhang Chengyuan has gained a lot, and he has vividly portrayed a rough character model based on himself in his mind. It's just that these are not enough to ensure that he can interpret this TV role vividly and even touchingly. So he started with other things.
First of all, he entrusted Park Byungyeol to find a few prototypes similar to the character's background or personality for him in real life, and used this as a reference, and selected its essence to comprehensively summarize the character's psychological activities, eye expressions, words and deeds, dress, and even some detailed small actions, he had to consider them one by one and carefully scrutinize them, and record them in his notebook as soon as he had an experience, and after a short period of time, he took them out and pondered again to see if there were any new gains.
In addition, he calls the screenwriter of this TV series every day to discuss his understanding of the character in detail, hoping to get new inspiration from the screenwriter's words. Due to the frequent interruptions, it seriously affected the screenwriter's unfinished script creation progress and his precious rest time, so that the screenwriter later strictly forbade Zhang Chengyuan to call and harass him.
In Zhang Chengyuan's later acting career, this kind of disturbing screenwriters happened from time to time, which annoyed the screenwriters, and after many times, he had a nickname called "screenwriter killer". It wasn't until he became famous that the screenwriters turned to welcome him to be able to bother often, because every time Zhang Chengyuan played a role later, he would be greatly recognized by professionals and sincerely loved by film and television audiences, and even the screenwriters who worked with him were praised.
These hard preparations before acting, which some extremely hard-working actors can also do, are not enough to show Zhang Chengyuan's unique talent in this aspect. Zhang Chengyuan's greatest reliance in this life is the Yuan Shen that he has cultivated through hard cultivation in his previous life. Although due to the thunderstorm and the influence of the decline of the vitality of heaven and earth, the supernatural power of the Yuan Shen is insignificant, but at least it can be used as an extremely advanced personal computer, which can not only help Jang Sung-won become the best student of Seoul University, but also allow Jang Sung-won to concretize and vividly the rigid characters depicted by words when figuring out the script, until he forms a full image that is almost indistinguishable from a real person. With this help, Zhang Chengyuan's acting career is naturally strengthened.
Unfortunately, no matter how great talent is, it is only one element of success, and sometimes it is more opportunity to achieve a great career. At this point, although Zhang Chengyuan can't be said to be bad, it's just average. Not to mention the ordinary single-parent family, the brokerage company he signed can't spend a lot of money to directly praise him as the male number one, and even the second and third men can't do it. Of course, Park Byungyeol also contributed a lot, but if his company could be more powerful, then maybe Jang Sung-won would now be able to directly become the protagonist of a youth idol drama, after all, he had reached this position in the past.
Then he won't be so embarrassed now. At a press conference before the start of "The Crown Prince's First Love", reporters gathered, flashing lights, and it was very lively. However, these seem to have nothing to do with Zhang Chengyuan, although he is sitting in the actor's seat at this time, and he is still sitting next to the heroine Cheng Youli, but reporters pay very little attention to him, and it can even be said that he is blind and indifferent.
Because sitting on the other side of Sung You-ri is the male lead of the play, Asian superstar Cha Tae-hyun.
Yes, Asian superstar Cha Tae-hyun, since he and Jun Ji-hyun starred in "My Sassy Girlfriend" 3 years ago became popular in Asia, Cha Tae-hyun has been evaluated as an Asian superstar by the Korean media, although he himself has never said so, but in the minds of some people in South Korea, he is a truly amazing national film actor, and his popularity can kill almost all first-line TV actors in seconds, so Jang Sung-won is even more dim under his bright light.
And the female number one actor who matches Cha Tae-hyun, Cheng Youli, is not an idle person. Thinking back to two or three years ago, Fin.k.l's popularity was so strong that first-line actresses such as Kim Hee-sun, Song Yoon-a, and Kim Ji-so also had to retreat, and after the group members flew solo, Sung You-ri's popularity was still undiminished, and after two years of hard work in the TV industry, he gained a large number of fans.
With the support of these two extremely popular stars, this drama has attracted widespread attention before it has even been broadcast, and I believe that the premiere ratings of this TV series will be amazing. However, with these two big lanterns shining with infinite light around him, Zhang Chengyuan has obviously become "dark under the lamp", and it is natural that no one cares about it and is ignored. Although Zhang Chengyuan's expression remained unchanged and he didn't seem to care at all, how could he really be indifferent when he had also experienced a certain amount of prosperity?
Cheng Youli, who had been paying attention to him, saw it in his eyes, and when no one asked her questions for the time being, he leaned over and said a few words to Zhang Chengyuan. The content of the speech is very ordinary, after all, you can't say too intimate words at this moment, but the purpose of Cheng Youli's speech is just to turn the attention of the reporters on her and turn some to Zhang Chengyuan, so that he can be treated less coldly and feel better.
After a few exchanges, a reporter finally noticed something unusual, and rarely re-involved the content of the topic on Zhang Chengyuan, the second male lead, but the object of his question was Cheng Youli: "Miss Cheng Youli, what is the relationship between you and Mr. Zhang Chengyuan, you seem to be very close?" ”
Just a little closer and a few words, it was said to be "very intimate", and this reporter is really good at breaking up. Perhaps this reporter is just habitually fond of exaggeration, but he was unexpectedly told the truth. Moreover, this reporter didn't know that he would say this unintentional remark, and he would soon dig out a fierce material.
After Cheng Youli heard this, he was immediately stunned for a moment, and immediately glanced at Zhang Chengyuan. Zhang Chengyuan reacted faster, and immediately shook his head slightly, signaling Cheng Youli not to tell the truth, because this could easily turn into an explosive scandal, although it helped him a lot, it may seriously affect Cheng Youli's thriving acting career.
Cheng Youli thought about it, and suddenly felt that this was a good opportunity to increase Zhang Chengyuan's exposure, so he didn't obey Zhang Chengyuan's meaning, looked at the reporter in front of him, and said: "Yes, you are right, Mr. Zhang Chengyuan is a good brother I have known for a long time, and our relationship is very good." ”
As soon as these words came out, not only did the reporters realize that they had dug up a big news that could increase the circulation of newspapers or TV programs, but even the crew members were extremely surprised, because they had never heard of such news in advance, and even at the meeting between the main actors and the main creative staff a few days ago, Cheng Youli and Zhang Chengyuan behaved like strangers who met for the first time.
Some imaginative people suddenly burst into a thought in their hearts: "Could it be that these two are boyfriend and girlfriend and have an underground relationship, otherwise why should they hide it so secretly?" But why did he suddenly break the news now, are you tired of the sneaky days and want to make your relationship public? ”
