At around 2 p.m. on September 17, the crew of "The Painter of the Wind" held a production press conference at a hotel in Seoul, attended by director Jang Tae-yoo and several main actors such as Jang Sung-won, Moon Geun-young, Moon Chae-won, Bae so-bin, Yoo Seung-ryong, and Lee Jun.

For Zhang Chengyuan, he has participated in this kind of occasion many times, maybe in the first one or two, he still felt a little excited, but now he almost does not feel at all, just go through the motions. However, although Wen Genying has seen many big scenes since she was a child, she has been away from the film and television industry for more than a year because of her studies, so she can't help but be a little nervous at this time.

Seeing this, Zhang Chengyuan hurriedly took her hand and whispered a few words of comfort.

At the beginning of the press conference, the host first said some welcome speeches, and then the relevant leaders of the TV station and production company introduced some information about the TV series, and then played the trailer of the show.

By the time this was over, more than half an hour had passed, and then it was the turn of the director and the actors to appear. First, all of them posed for the reporters to take pictures together, and then they went on the stage one by one for the reporters to take pictures...... After a series of steps, it is finally the turn of today's highlight - the reporter's interview.

first politely asked the director two questions, and then the reporters' attention focused on the male and female lead actors Jang Sung-won and Moon Geun-young. Of course, at first it was just ordinary questions.

The reporter asked: "Mr. Jang Sung-won, according to reports, this TV series is a TV series that describes two genius painters of the Joseon Dynasty, so in the preparation stage before the TV series starts filming." What did the actors prepare? ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "I mainly learned calligraphy and oriental painting together, and also learned about the history, culture and lifestyle of the time. ”

Reporter: "As far as I know, you don't seem to be learning these things with everyone, right?" Obviously, this question is what the reporter really wants to ask, and the first question is just an introduction.

Zhang Chengyuan said calmly: "Well, that's true. ”

"Can you ask why?"

Zhang Chengyuan nodded slightly and said: "This is because when other actors were studying specially, I was still filming "Quick Knife Hong Jitong", and I couldn't take time out for the time being, but after entering the crew of "Wind Painter", I took time to study these aspects. ”

Director Jang Tae-yo added: "Actually, Cheng Yuan doesn't need to learn calligraphy and painting specifically. Because he's learned these things a long time ago. And it is of a fair standard. ”

"So, Mr. Zhang Chengyuan, what do you think is the best level of calligraphy and painting among all the actors?"

Zhang Chengyuan said: "This question. If it's up to me to answer. Probably not very objective. Therefore, it is more appropriate for someone else to answer. Geun Young, you can answer for me. He casually patted Wen Genying next to him on the shoulder. He looks like a brother.

Wen Genying nodded with a smile and said, "If you really want to evaluate who among our actors has the highest level of calligraphy and painting Oriental paintings, it must be Brother Cheng Yuan, but it's not a big deal, because he has been studying for many years before, and we are almost just practicing calligraphy and painting for the first time." ”

Reporter: "Miss Wen Genying, what is your level?" ”

Wen Genying shook his head and said, "I can't!" Most of the time I was just holding a pen and making a show. ”

Zhang Chengyuan interjected: "That's not all, Gen Ying's more delicate women's custom paintings are still good." There are other actors who also have their own strengths, such as Liu Chenglong's predecessors are better at painting crustaceans, Xiubin is good at painting flowers and plants, and Li Jun is better at painting paint. ”

Reporter: "What about Miss Wen Caiyuan?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "She should be better at ancient music and dance. "Does Wen Caiyuan know how to draw, and what is the level? He didn't know what to say, so he said casually from the other side.

……

Reporter: "Miss Wen Genying, you have been making movies all these years, and it took five years to take over this TV series again, do you feel comfortable?" ”

Wen Genying thought for a while and said: "The shooting mode of the movie is still quite different from the TV series, especially in terms of scripts, the script of the movie is relatively short, while the script of the TV series is very long, the relationship between the characters is complex, and the plot develops quickly, so at the beginning, I felt very difficult, and I was depressed and panicked, but with the help of everyone, I am now familiar with it and feel more adaptable." ”

Reporter: "In this TV series, the character you play has to be a woman dressed as a man, but it should be very difficult for a girl to act like a boy, right?"

Wen Genying nodded and said, "Well, it's difficult!" In order to play this role well, I always pay attention to and imitate the behavior of my brothers, but even though I have been trained a lot, sometimes I still unconsciously show female expressions and behaviors. So, sometimes when I'm filming, I think if only I were a boy, I wouldn't be so troubled acting. Of course, I only think that way occasionally, but I actually prefer to be a girl. After speaking, he glanced at Zhang Chengyuan on the right hand.

Zhang Chengyuan smiled at her knowingly. But at this time, everyone laughed when they heard her words, so no one thought that Zhang Chengyuan's smile was meaningful.

Reporter: "So Miss Wen Genying, what do you think is the hardest part of playing a boy?" ”

Wen Genying thought for a while and said, "I think it should be this." Well, when I play against girls, I have to show masculinity, but when I play against male actors, I have to show the feeling of girls. It's not easy to do, and I don't think I'm strong enough. ”

Reporter: "What was the reaction of the people around you?" ”

Wen Genying hesitated for a moment, didn't know how to answer, and glanced at Zhang Chengyuan for help, she couldn't say that everyone praised her.

When Jang Sung-won was about to help her out, director Jang Tae-yoo had already replied: "Gen Young's acting skills are very good, which makes us completely confused, and sometimes I really feel that she is a boy." In addition, her agency also asked her not to wear boys' clothes so as not to reinforce the impression that she is a boy. Then many female advertisements will not look for her endorsement in the future. ”

The last sentence is naturally a joke, and it is also a disguised praise for Wen Genying's acting skills, and everyone laughed good-natured after listening to it.

A reporter suddenly said: "Miss Wen Genying, I feel that your voice seems to be a little hoarse?" Feeling unwell? After Wen Genying said something, the reporter found that Wen Genying's voice was gradually hoarse, so he asked this question with concern.

Wen Genying smiled: "No, I'm in good health. It's just that I've filmed a lot of scenes that require emotional investment recently, and I often have to raise my voice, and in order to make my voice deeper and more like a boy. Speak with a little more force, too. After a long time, his voice became a little hoarse. But as long as you take more throat moisturizers, you will be fine. ”

Actually, if you find Zhang Chengyuan for treatment. It will be all right in a moment. But she felt her voice a little hoarse. Instead, she was more suitable for her current role, so she didn't do it.

After hearing her answer, the reporters all smiled at her with smiles on their faces. It can be seen that they have a deep affection for Wen Genying, who has always been well-behaved and has a positive image. At the moment, in order to give her a little rest, the reporters interviewed several other actors, and after asking one or two questions to each actor in order, they asked the male number one Zhang Chengyuan again.

"Mr. Zhang Chengyuan, at the beginning of the year, "Quick Knife Hong Jitong" just ended, and you took over this TV series, why do you want to continue the TV series in such a hurry without taking a break for a while?"

In fact, Zhang Chengyuan took over the filming of this TV series before the completion of "Quick Knife Hong Jitong", but in order not to affect his reputation, his role in "The Painter of the Wind" was officially announced three days after the completion of "Fast Knife Hong Jitong", so this reporter asked.

Jang Sung-won said: "The main reason is that the script of 'The Painter of the Wind' is very interesting and exciting, and the character of Kim Hong-do is also very deep, which is a challenge for me. In addition, I have a feeling that as long as I can play this role well and live, then I may be able to win a more weighty award. Well, also, the heroine of this TV series is Geun Young, and I have always wanted to work well with her, and I naturally won't miss this time with such a good opportunity! ”

Wen Genying echoed with a smile: "I also have this idea. ”

Reporter: "Miss Wen Genying, what is your reason for choosing "The Painter of the Wind"? Feeling that Wen Genying should be resting almost, the reporter asked her again, after all, she is one of the protagonists tonight, and even the degree of public attention is still above Zhang Chengyuan, so naturally she can't be allowed to rest for too long.

Wen Geunying replied: "My reasons are similar to Brother Cheng Yuan, except that I want to cooperate with Brother Cheng Yuan, I think this drama is very interesting, and the role of Shin Yunfu is very difficult to play." ”

"Do you want to challenge it too?"

"Yes, I really want to take on a challenge, because I think that when I do more difficult things well, I will get a greater sense of accomplishment. Moreover, I am still young, so I should take advantage of this time to do more difficult things, even if I make some mistakes and take a little detour, it is also a kind of gain, which can allow me to accumulate successful experience and hone my mind from the other side. Of course, I'm just referring to acting. ”

……

Reporter: "Miss Wen Genying, how does it feel to act with Mr. Zhang Chengyuan?" ”

Wen Genying immediately smiled and said, "Well, it's good, it's very good!" His acting skills are really great, with his guidance and guidance, my acting skills have improved a lot, and I feel very interesting and happy to film with him! I hope that there will be more opportunities to work with him in the future besides this time! ”

Reporter: "Mr. Zhang Chengyuan, Miss Jin Yazhong and Miss Yin Enhui, who have worked with you before, have won awards, and they all said that thanks to your teaching, they can win awards, and some people commented that although you have no luck in winning the awards, you are indeed first-class in guiding the actresses who partner with you." This time, are you ready to coach another partner who will win the grand prize? ”

Zhang Chengyuan had answered this similar question many times before, so he replied almost without thinking at this time: "First of all, I am very grateful that someone complimented me so much. However, I would like to say that the fact that Yazhong and Enhui were able to win the award is actually not much related to me, but more because they are talented and hard enough. So, if Geun Young can win the award, it will not be my credit, but she herself is good enough. Before taking over the filming of this TV series, her acting skills were already very good, and during the filming, I just gave her a little advice at most. Well, if we do win the jackpot, I hope the two of us can win the jackpot at the same time. "If the actress he coached won the award this time, and he won the small award, it would be too embarrassing.

"Miss Wen Genying, what do you think?"

Wen Genying said: "I think Brother Cheng Yuan is too modest. In the play, he is my painting teacher, and in reality, he is also my teacher, a teacher in acting. During this time, with his help, I really feel like I have improved a lot. In addition, I also very much want to be like Sister Yazhong and Sister Enhui, with the help of Brother Cheng Yuan, to get a very important award. Of course, I also hope to win the grand prize with Brother Cheng Yuan. ”

"Mr. Jang Sung Won, last year's role of Ko Eun-chan played by Miss Yoon Eun-hye was also a role of a woman dressed as a man, so if you compare Miss Yoon Eun-hye with Miss Moon Geun-young, who do you think has better acting skills, or who plays more like a boy?"

Zhang Chengyuan groaned: "If you look at it from the appearance, it should be more similar to Enhui, because her figure is relatively tall. But if it's compared to acting, it's hard to say, it shouldn't be equal, the two have their own advantages, they both acted very excitingly, and it's not easy to compare. "It's a fool to compare this, otherwise whoever says is better may make the other person unhappy. And the fans of the two will also argue, and he may also be scolded to the fullest.
