Chapter 141 "Taelung Players' Village" press conference
Back in the apartment, after making porridge on the phone with some sisters, Zhang Chengyuan had a good day of recuperation, bathing and changing clothes to remove the wind and dust, meditating luck to nourish the viscera, practicing his fists and feet to stretch his muscles and bones, drinking a cup of tea to cultivate his mind, completely washing himself from the inside out, and then falling asleep without eating.
When he woke up the next day, he felt refreshed and relaxed, as if he had returned to the mountains. It's a pity that a sudden phone call immediately broke his occasionally sublimated state of mind, and he fell into the world again.
The caller was Lee Yoon-jeong, the director of "Taeneung Players' Village", who came to inform Jang Sung-won that he would practice his lines at 2 p.m. tomorrow and hold a press conference on the new drama by the way after the end, asking him to attend on time and not be late.
can have a director call him in person to tell him this kind of miscellaneous things, it can be seen that the director values him, because he has always treated others to him, he will also treat people, so as soon as Li Yunzhen said it, he immediately solemnly agreed, although the attitude cannot be said to be very cordial, but it is definitely very sincere and polite, and does not put on the shelf of a popular star at all, which makes Li Yunzhen, a rookie female director, immediately have a better impression of him.
On the afternoon of the next day, Jang Sung-won and Lee Jin arrived at the MBC TV headquarters to meet with the main creators and some of the main actors of "Taereung Players' Village". These things are very familiar to Zhang Chengyuan, a veteran actor, and there is no challenge at all, but he still takes them very seriously, especially when practicing alone with Li Zhen, he is especially focused, picking fault with Li Zhen from time to time, and providing concise and effective suggestions for improvement.
It is because Li Zhen has a close relationship with him, and he is convinced of his acting skills, so he can not mind his preaching, so he dares to take the initiative to point, and if other people listen to him so verbose and point, he may have turned his face impatiently. Of course, with Zhang Chengyuan's current mentality of "sweeping the snow in front of the door", he will never help others improve his acting skills for no reason.
At around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the crew held a relatively short press conference, because it was only a short drama broadcast in non-prime time, the investment was small, and the director was still a woman, so the media would definitely not pay much attention to it, if it wasn't for the two popular stars Zhang Chengyuan and Li Zhen as the starring actors, maybe the crew didn't think about holding this press conference.
At the press conference, female directors Lee Yoon-jeong, Jang Sung-won and Lee Jin became the focus of reporters' questions. Lee Yoon-jung was asked, "Do you have confidence in yourself?" Do you have any confidence in the script of this TV series? Why do you want to make a TV short drama with this theme? And so on. As for Zhang Chengyuan and Li Zhen, the reporters' questions were varied.
"Mr. Zhang Chengyuan, Miss Li Zhen, why do you want to take over this TV series? What did you think about it at the time? With the popularity of Zhang Chengyuan and Li Zhen, it is absolutely no problem to borrow a better TV series, so the reporters had a little question about this issue and asked it.
Zhang Chengyuan replied: "Mainly because TV dramas with this theme are usually extremely difficult to see. It was an interesting challenge for me to show the hardships of the growth of the national sports representatives, their daily living conditions, and their mental outlook, and I was very excited. In addition, the script of this drama is very well written, the ups and downs are full of surprises, and the mentality of the sports players is particularly prominent, and I believe that even if it does not get high ratings due to the broadcast time and other reasons, this "Taereung Athletes' Village" will definitely become a well-known TV series. And this is also an important reason why I took on this show. ”
Li Zhendao: "I didn't think as much as Cheng Yuan, but after reading the script, I was attracted by the role of the female archery I was going to play now, so I immediately agreed." ”
The reporter asked: "I heard that Miss Li Zhen didn't get the invitation of the crew at the beginning, but Mr. Jang Sung-won recommended you to Director Lee Yun-jung?" ”
Li Zhen said: "That's true. One day, when Cheng Yuan and I were filming a reversal drama, during a break, we unexpectedly saw the script of "Taeling Players' Village" and was deeply fascinated, so I had the idea of wanting to appear very much, so I applied to the crew through Cheng Yuan, and then got their enthusiastic response, so I took over the TV series. Although Li Zhen has always been sincere, he has debuted for so many years, and he also knows that in front of reporters, he sometimes has to say something flexible to avoid some trouble.
After hearing Li Zhen's words, Director Lee Yun-jung and Jang Sung-won, who were sitting on either side of her, immediately nodded at the same time. For Zhang Chengyuan, Li Zhen replied that he naturally supported him unconditionally, and for Li Yunzhen, Li Zhen's words could help the crew reduce trouble, so both nodded in agreement with Li Zhen's words.
The reporter continued to say to Li Zhen: "Since you and Mr. Zhang Chengyuan filmed the reversal drama, your popularity has been rising, and your acting skills are also considered by the audience to have improved a lot, however, many people think that you are here today thanks to Mr. Zhang Chengyuan, if you leave Zhang Chengyuan, you will be useless, what do you think of this kind of remarks?" ”
Before Li Zhen could speak, Zhang Chengyuan said a little angrily: "Nonsense! Sister Zhen'er used to be an excellent singer, everyone knows her achievements, and now she is also a very good actor, without me, she can still succeed, using 'useless' to describe her is really incomprehensible, infuriating! It's really ......" After hearing what the reporter said, although Zhang Chengyuan tried his best to endure it, he couldn't help but be annoyed. In addition, he was a little suspicious that this sentence might have been made up by this reporter, at least "many people" were absolutely nonsense, so his eyes looked directly at this reporter, and the coercion in his eyes made this reporter sweat coldly, and he almost knelt down, but the other people around him didn't feel the slightest abnormality, they just felt that Zhang Chengyuan was a little angry!
Li Zhen hurriedly stopped Zhang Chengyuan from continuing, for fear that he would further say some angry things that would damage his image, she said: "I think there should be a lot fewer people who say this kind of thing than those who praise me, so I am not angry, and I also admit that in the past six months, Chengyuan's help to me, especially in acting, is indeed very great, without him, my acting skills should be very average." But I don't think there's anything to be ashamed of at this point, although he is young and my younger brother is my younger brother, but in my opinion, as long as my younger brother has the ability, it is not a big deal for my sister to ask my younger brother for advice and study. ”
Li Zhen's frank speech immediately aroused the appreciation of most of the people present, and although they did not applaud together, they couldn't help but nod.
Zhang Chengyuan immediately said humbly: "It's not as exaggerated as Sister Zhen'er said, I just gave her a little advice that I think is pertinent, and the key is to rely on my sister herself!" ”
The reporter asked: "Mr. Zhang Chengyuan, everyone knows that the relationship between you and the four members of Fin.k.l is extraordinary, which of the four people do you like the most, or who is most in line with your ideal type?" ”
This question has been asked by reporters several times before, and they always seem to want to dig out some valuable news from him and the four daughters of Fin.k.l, but Zhang Chengyuan does not give a positive answer every time, and this time he prevaricated: "Well, this, this is hard to say, maybe I will like Sister Zhen'er more today, maybe I will like Sister Xiaoli more tomorrow, and I will like ...... more in a few days."
Zhang Chengyuan talked about it, but he still didn't give the reporter a prepared answer, which made the reporters dissatisfied, perhaps the most annoying thing about being a reporter is that the interviewee does not cooperate with their work, and will only talk nonsense or lie. But this time they blamed Jang Sung-won, and so far, Jang Sung-won really can't tell who his favorite person is. And he did, as he himself said, one day suddenly like a certain sister a little more, especially when he was alone with her.
At this time, Li Zhen suddenly interjected: "I'll answer this, in front of me, he may be embarrassed to say it." His ideal type is pure, well-behaved and kind, so he is closer to Youli. ”
Lee Jin's purpose in saying this is the same as the purpose of Ok Joo-hyun saying in the previous interview that "Jang Sung-won and Sung You-ri have the best relationship". is all to pave the way for Zhang Chengyuan to marry Cheng Youli in the future, and it can be said that this is the tacit understanding of their sisters. And she is not lying, Jang Sung-won's ideal type is indeed Sung You-ri, but his ideal type is a little too much, Lee Hyo-ri, Ok Joo-hyun, Lee Jin, Kim Tae-hee, Yoon Eun-hye...... Everything he thinks is beautiful, kind, and makes him feel is his ideal type.
At the next press conference, the more reporters asked, the more biased they became, forgetting that this was the press conference of the TV series, and picking out some scandals or gossip about Zhang Chengyuan and Li Zhen to ask, which made them annoyed. Jang Sung-won hurriedly asked Lee Yoon-jung for help with his eyes. Maybe Lee Yun-jung didn't know how to bring the topic back to the TV series because she had little experience, or maybe she didn't want to talk to these reporters who were not interested in the new drama, and when she saw that nearly an hour had passed since the press conference, she simply sent a message to the host to end the press conference that had deviated from the topic.
After leaving the press conference, Li Zhen and Zhang Chengyuan solemnly apologized to Li Yunzhen, although it was not the two of them who deviated from the topic, but it was indeed caused by them, so they had to pay some responsibility.
Li Yunzhen smiled without mind: "What is this about you, it is all a good thing done by those reporters who only have explosive news in their eyes!" ”
After that, Zhang Chengyuan and Li Zhen had dinner with the other main actors and staff of the crew and exchanged ideas by the way. At eight o'clock in the evening, when the dinner was over, Zhang Chengyuan drove Li Zhen home, and then turned back to his apartment to adjust his state and prepare for the official shooting the next day.
