Chapter 401: Variety Show Invitation; Envy
After drinking two bottles of red wine with Cheng Long, seeing that it was not early, Zhang Chengyuan said goodbye to Cheng Long, and then turned back to his room to rest. The next morning, he took a plane back to South Korea, according to his request, Li Lianjie and others did not send him, only Cheng Long sent him to the door of the hotel, waved goodbye to him.
Back in South Korea, Jang Sung-won continued to work almost without rest. At this time, there are only about ten days before the start of filming of his new drama "The Painter of the Wind", and he wants to take advantage of this time to end the announcements of advertisements, pictorial photos, promotional activities, etc., so that he can have less snacks when filming the new drama.
After the trip ended that night, Zhang Chengyuan was about to take the car home, but unexpectedly received a call from Liu Zaishi, saying that he wanted to meet him for a chat. Zhang Chengyuan guessed that Liu Zaishi asked him to meet this time, it must be for work, and Bacheng invited him to participate in some variety show, although he was not interested in it, but Liu Zaishi, a good old man, he couldn't help but give face, so he happily agreed.
Twenty minutes later, the two met at a teahouse in Insadong, Jongno-gu. Xu is Liu Zaishi Zhilu Dao Zhang Chengyuan likes to drink tea and coffee, so he deliberately set the location of this party here. However, what he didn't know was that Zhang Chengyuan had always only drunk the tea brewed by himself with the tea brewed with his true qi and spiritual energy, and by the way, he cultivated his own taste very well, so the tea in the teahouse outside for him, although it could not be said to be the same as chewing wax, it was definitely not in line with his taste.
After a few words of greeting, the two sat opposite each other, Liu Zaishi waved his finger and pointed to the tea sent by the waiter, and said to Zhang Chengyuan: "Listen to a friend of mine." The tea here is nice. Especially this 'pine needle tea'. It is said to have a mellow taste and antioxidant and anti-aging effects. Let's have a few drinks to moisten our throats before we talk about other things. ”
"Good!" Although he didn't like this so-called "traditional tea" without tea leaves, since Liu Zaishi invited him to drink it, it would be too rude if he didn't drink it, so Zhang Chengyuan took a sip. I felt that the taste was so-so, and I could barely accept it, so I nodded politely.
Liu Jae-seok asked, "How does it taste?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "It's okay! ”
Liu Zaishi smiled and said, "It's just okay?" It seems that your taste is really picky, I think it tastes good, of course, I don't have much research on tea, I can't taste what kind of tea is really good tea, maybe you have drunk better tea, so I don't like this kind of tea! As he spoke, he took a few more sips. Apparently quite fond of this pine needle tea.
"No, I'm just more used to drinking Chinese tea!" Zhang Chengyuan shook his head and said.
"Oh. That's right, then I'll change to a Chinese teahouse next time. ”
Zhang Chengyuan shook his head again and said: "It's not easy to find an authentic Chinese teahouse in Seoul, but in Brother Shi, you don't have to be like this!" ”
……
After a few more small talks, Zhang Chengyuan cut to the chase and asked, "Brother Shi, is there anything to find me today?" ”
Liu Zaishi was stunned for a moment, and asked instead of answering: "Hasn't she told you yet?" ”
"Say what?" Zhang Chengyuan felt a little strange.
Liu Zaishi glanced at Zhang Chengyuan, nodded slightly, and said, "Well, I haven't said it yet, I thought she would tell you yesterday." It seems that she is too busy to find time to go to you, and in that case, it is up to me to do the same. ”
Zhang Chengyuan thought for a while and said: "Maybe it's not that she can't find time, but because I went to China yesterday to participate in an event, and she doesn't want to affect my work, so she didn't tell me for the time being." ”
Liu Zaishi shook his head and said, "Maybe it's true." Well, it doesn't matter, it's the same for me. Here's the thing, SBS TV is planning a new variety show, with me as the main MC, ready to start broadcasting in mid-June. We would like to ask you to be our first guest on this show, so as to get off to a good start. ”
With Zhang Chengyuan's popularity now, coupled with the mystery and freshness brought by him who has not participated in entertainment programs for several years, if he is willing to be a guest on a certain TV show, then as long as he promotes it a little, it will inevitably attract strong attention from the public, and this show will inevitably achieve quite good ratings.
Zhang Chengyuan said with some embarrassment: "In Brother Shi, you also know that I have always been not very interested in variety shows, and I have never participated in any entertainment programs in the past few years, except for occasionally participating in individual interview shows." ”
Liu Zaishi smiled: "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, after I make it clear, you will give me an answer, I think after I finish speaking, you may change your mind." ”
"Then please speak." Zhang Chengyuan said patiently.
Liu Zaishi continued: "This show is very different from the entertainment programs you have participated in in the past and held indoors, it is a program that invites star artists to experience life in the countryside and allows the audience to appreciate some of the real faces of artists. Of course, during this time, there will also be some entertaining competitive games...... Well, most importantly, Hyo-ri is also one of the hosts of this show. After saying that, seeing that Zhang Chengyuan's face was calm and unmoved, he released a killer idea.
"Sister Xiaoli is also the host?" Zhang Chengyuan's face immediately changed, and his expression became more serious.
He is a very popular famous actor, and he is not a second- or third-tier artist who needs to appear on camera or Gagman who makes a living from entertainment programs, let alone an audience who likes variety shows, whether the show is interesting or not, whether it is good or not, it has nothing to do with him. And wild variety shows, filming, usually takes a day or two, which is too much time for him, who has always been busy with work. So he didn't want to participate in this kind of show very much.
However, having Lee Hyori participate in this show is a different matter. For him, if he can help Lee Hyo-ri, then what's the big deal about sacrificing a day or two or more?
"Yes." Seeing Zhang Chengyuan's reaction, Liu Zaishi laughed softly, feeling a little proud in his heart, he knew that as long as he sacrificed the trump card of "Li Xiaoli", Zhang Chengyuan would definitely be very interested, because everyone knew the way. Jang Sung-won has the closest relationship with Fin.k.l. I've always listened to them. And this is also the reason why the program team asked Lee Hyo-ri yesterday to persuade Jang Sung-won to join the show.
Zhang Chengyuan said: "If that's the case." In principle, I am willing to appear in this show, but I don't know if there is a suitable time for Lu Dao, because at the end of this month, the TV series "The Painter of the Wind" that I took over will start filming, and it is unknown whether I will be available in the day or two when you plan to shoot the show. "Lee Hyo-ri and Yoo Jae-seok are both busy people with a lot of announcements, and they may not be able to cooperate with Jang Sung-won's time, so Jang Sung-won has this concern.
Liu Zaishi thought for a while and said, "This should be no problem, we will try to coordinate everyone's time." ”
Zhang Chengyuan reciprocated: "I will also try my best to cooperate with the time decided by the program team." Other than that. If the time of the first phase is really not compatible, it can also be changed to the second or third period, or later. At this time, he has decided to participate in this show, and wants to use his current popularity to do something for Lee Hyori, although he may not be able to help Lee Hyori, but he must always have this intention and action.
Liu Zaishi said happily: "Then it's decided!" ”
Zhang Chengyuan nodded and said, "Well, it's a deal!" ”
After getting down to business, the two were not in a hurry to separate, and it was rare to be able to get together and talk about how busy they were. Let's talk a little bit more.
Liu Zaishi said: "Cheng Yuan, I will get married in about three months." You must come to my wedding. ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "This is nature. Well, has the exact time of the wedding ever been set? ”
"It's probably at the beginning of July, and no matter how busy you are, you can't forget about it, in addition, you must remember to bring the gift money, and it can't be less than that given to Brother Hudong." Liu Zaishi said jokingly.
When Jiang Hudong got married, Zhang Chengyuan couldn't participate in filming abroad, so out of guilt, he wrapped a gift of 10 million won to Jiang Hudong, which was rumored to be a beautiful talk in the circle for a while, making people feel that although Zhang Chengyuan didn't have many friends, he was quite good to his friends, at least financially quite generous.
Zhang Chengyuan also said funny: "In Brother Shi, I will definitely bring the gift money, but it's hard to say how much, maybe it depends on whether you and Sister Jing'en are in love or not, if you are affectionate, I will give you more bags, if there is no such affection as everyone imagined, I will take less." ”
Liu Zaishi said: "Then I will not let you down." "Liu Zaishi's other half is called Luo Jingen, not only beautiful and kind-hearted, but also very affectionate with Liu Zaishi, and the two are well-known loving couples in the entertainment industry. Of course, compared with the pair of Zhang Chengyuan and Cheng Youli, in terms of fame, it is slightly worse.
Smiling, Liu Zaishi continued: "Cheng Yuan, your relationship with Miss Youli has been announced for more than half a year, when do you plan to get married?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan knew that he would not be able to get married in a short time, because Cheng's father was not in a hurry to marry Cheng Youli to him, but this reason was not easy to say to Liu Zaishi, so he said: "Sister Youli and I are not yet thirty years old?" It's still a little early to get married, and it is estimated that it will take a few more years. ”
Liu Zaishi said: "It's good that you think so, according to my personal thoughts, I also think you should get married later, after all, you are all very popular star actors, if you get married too early, you will definitely lose a lot of fans and some opportunities, which will affect your career." And if you give your fans a little more buffer time, I think they will choose to bless you in the end, and then your popularity will not be too much loss. ”
Zhang Chengyuan said lightly: "I hope so!" But even if it doesn't, it doesn't matter, I can't just not get married just to take into account the feelings of my fans, right? ”
"Rather, marriage is more important, if not more important, than a career! Well, without further ado, I wish you all to step into the palace of marriage as soon as possible and become a happy couple! ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "This is certain! Oh, I almost forgot, in Brother Shi, I don't seem to have congratulated you yet? Picking up the teacup, he saluted: "Here, I wish you and Miss Luo Jingen a smooth marriage with tea instead of wine, and accompany each other happily to old age." ”
While saying this, Zhang Chengyuan thought in his heart: "I don't know when, I can also marry Sister Youli?" Seeing that Brother Shi is about to get married, and he is about to live with his wife every day, it is really enviable! (To be continued......)
