After getting to know each other with the girls, Zhang Chengyuan encouraged them a few more words in order not to disturb their practice, signed their names one by one, and then took the Zheng sisters out. It was not long before lunch time, so he simply asked Jessica to end this morning's practice early. Anyway, Jessica had been practicing hard for so many years, and missing this moment would definitely not have any impact. The ** company is currently busy preparing to launch a new female singer group, and they don't have much thought to strictly manage these young female trainees, so it is quite easy for Jessica to come out. We found a Western restaurant and ordered steak and other food. The three of us had a wonderful meal. But this was not because the food was delicious, but because the three of them were in a good mood. While eating, Zhang Chengyuan looked at Jessica and said, "I didn't expect you to have so many friends around the same age now. Weren't you always called 'Iceberg' before?" Jessica muttered dissatisfied, "Aren't you just like me? ?" Once upon a time, Zhang Chengyuan was several times colder than Jessica. Even Jessica would shudder when she saw him. But after several years of hard work in the entertainment industry, Zhang Chengyuan has become much smoother and cold and arrogant in his heart. He has almost completely restrained his anger, but there is no guarantee that one day his status will rise to a certain level and he will return to his old ways. After Jessica complained, seeing Zhang Chengyuan still looking at her intently, waiting for her to reply, she answered honestly: "The company plans to launch a large boy group and a large girl group within two or three years, so We put together a group of female trainees who are about the same age and are the best or have the most potential for training. Once we get along for a long time, our relationship will naturally get better. This is not surprising. ¡± Zhang Chengyuan is a bit incredible! Said: "The decision-makers of your company are really whimsical. A dozen people form a team. Will each person only sing one or two lines when performing in the future?" After thinking for a while, he continued: "You have to practice hard in the future. If you don't want to In the end, I was eliminated, so I had better work harder." "In Zhang Chengyuan's opinion, this kind of planning by ** Company is not only extremely risky, but the investment is definitely not small. In order to reduce costs, the selection of debutants will definitely be extremely strict. , ensuring that every member of the group is the best among the best. Although Jessica is a veteran trainee, she may be eliminated if she is not careful. Jessica solemnly said: "I know, I won't relax." She thought to herself: "How could I give you a chance to make you look down on me?" After lunch, Jessica returned to the company to continue practicing, while Zhang Chengyuan drove the car He took Xiao Jingshu home by car and stayed with her to do homework and play games with her until she fell asleep at nine o'clock in the evening before leaving Zheng's house. When leaving, he did not forget to say goodbye to Zheng's father, Zheng's mother, and Zheng Xiuyan who had just returned home. With the broadcast of the two episodes of "X-Man" that Zhang Chengyuan participated in, his popularity continued to rise, and as a result, he received many more notices. After entering November, he became even busier. Not only did he become a star of various A frequent guest on variety shows, he has also photographed the covers of several well-known fashion magazines, and even endorsed advertisements for two medium-sized companies. As for various large and small catwalks and business performances, there are even more. On this day, while he was practicing hip-hop dance at the dance academy, he suddenly received a call from the company representative, his manager Park Byung-yeol, asking him to rush to the company and saying that he had something important to talk to him about. When he arrived at the company, in Park Byung-yeol's office, Zhang Chengyuan unexpectedly discovered that Kim Tae-hee, the company's most profitable chief artist at present, was also present. He was stunned for a moment and immediately stepped forward to greet him: "Sister Tae-hee, you are here too!" The two of them have a very close relationship. As usual, when there are no outsiders, some formal etiquette is basically sparing as much as possible, and at this time, there happened to be only the two of them in the office. Kim Tae Hee waved to him, asked him to sit next to her, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "During this period, I see you have regained your position. My sister is really happy for you." Zhang Chengyuan said with a smile: "Thank you for your help, sister!" When Zhang Chengyuan was discharged from the army, his popularity almost dropped to the bottom. If Kim Tae Hee hadn't filmed an advertisement with him and agreed to create a scandal with him, Zhang Chengyuan would have been able to turn around. It will take a lot more effort. Kim Tae Hee said: "Don't say anything grateful. My sister doesn't like to hear it. Just keep it in your heart. Maybe I will rely on you to help me in the future!" Facing Zhang Chengyuan, Kim Tae Hee always spoke very directly, unlike in Every sentence in front of reporters must be carefully considered before uttering it. Zhang Chengyuan suddenly picked up one of her delicate hands, lowered his head, kissed it gently, then let go and said: "Sister Taixi, I am really lucky to know you in my life." In addition to Li Xiaoli's four sisters, I know Among his sisters, Kim Tae Hee seemed to be the best to him, so with this kiss, he could only feel gratitude and admiration, not anything.There is a hint of blasphemy. Kim Tae Hee touched his head and said: "I don't know why, but every time I see you, I feel very kind, just like meeting my biological brother Kim Hyung Soo. But you are more handsome and stronger than him." , and his personality is more considerate. " Not only Kim Tae Hee feels this way, but also all the people who Jang Sung Won wants to open up to, such as Ha Ji Won, Moon Geun Young, Yoon Eun Hye, etc., can always easily and directly understand Jang Sung Won. I could feel Zhang Chengyuan's most sincere emotions in his eyes and behavior, so he recognized and accepted him unknowingly and regarded him as a close friend with whom he could have a heart-to-heart relationship. Moreover, even if there is no contact for a long time, this emotion will not fade away and disappear, and it seems to stay fresh with time. Zhang Chengyuan understands that this is a side effect of his powerful soul. Relying on this powerful cheating device, he has made many true friends, but he never feels that this is an immoral behavior because he also gives his sincerity. And he wouldn't use this trick unless he met someone who was truly kind-hearted and admired him. When Zhang Chengyuan and Kim Taehee were chatting happily, Park Byungyeol hurriedly walked in and said, "Sorry, I kept you waiting for so long. There was an emergency at home just now" Although he is the boss of the company, Park Byungyeol never He will put on airs about Jang Sung Won, Kim Tae Hee and others. Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Chengyuan immediately stopped him and said: "Representative, brother, you don't need to tell us about you and your sister-in-law. We can't help you. Even if we want to help, we can only help your sister-in-law. Who calls us?" All the income is in her hands. " Park Byung-yeol is an anomaly among Korean men. He loves his wife very much and is afraid of her to death. Perhaps it is for this reason that his temperament has always been so kind to Jang Seung-won. Only the artists and staff under me can be so kind. Speaking of which, Zhang Chengyuan and others should thank Park Byungyeol's wife. Park Byung-yeol coughed a few times in embarrassment, and then turned to the topic: "The company just received two audition invitations this morning. They are for a monthly drama that SBS is preparing to air in late November. It's called "Love at Harvard". What's the content? You can roughly guess what kind of story it is from the title. This is the synopsis of the story and the scripts of the first few episodes. You should go home and take a good look at it and decide whether you want to take it or not. Let me know your decision before noon tomorrow. I personally hope that you will definitely take it! Because this is a TV series that can take your career to the next level! Of course, even if you want to take it, you have to go through the audition first. " Jang Seong-won and Kim Tae-hee signed with the company. The contracts are relatively loose, and both of them have the right to choose their own scripts, while the company only has the right to make suggestions, so Park Byung-yeol can't force them to take on a TV series that they are not interested in. Zhang Chengyuan asked: "What kind of role is it?" Park Byungyeol slapped his forehead and said: "Oh! I almost forgot to explain this. It is the male and female protagonist. With your current popularity, the company will not let you be a supporting role." Kim Tae Hee didn't ask any questions, she just opened the script and read it carefully. After reading two pages, she said: "I like this drama very much, and the character image suits me very well. I don't have to wait for tomorrow. I will decide now." I'm going to audition." He paused and then said, "Sungwon, I think this drama is suitable for you, so why don't you join in?" Zhang Chengyuan hadn't even opened the script yet, but when he heard what Kim Taehee said, Then he said bluntly: "Okay, I have never dreamed of cooperating with Sister Taixi in a TV series. Representative, I won't consider it anymore. Just tell me when to audition and what to pay attention to during the audition!" " Park Bingyeol said: "According to the information I heard, the heroine has been basically confirmed to be Tae Hee, so her audition is basically a formality. Of course, Tae Hee can't be too careless. " Kim Tae Hee nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will. I will prepare carefully." He looked neither arrogant nor discouraged. Park Byung-yeol continued: "But Sung-won is in trouble because his opponent is very powerful. He is Kim Rae-won, the most popular TV star in the past two years." Kim Tae-hee frowned and said: "It is Kim Rae-won who is called the Four Little Kings of TV dramas by industry insiders ?" When she heard it was "Jin Laiyuan", she couldn't help but worry for Zhang Chengyuan, because Zhang Chengyuan's opponent was indeed not comparable to the current Zhang Chengyuan. Before Jang Sung-won joined the army, Kim Rae-won had just made his mark in the film and television industry. His popularity was much lower than that of Jang Sung-won at that time. However, two years later, Kim Rae-won has become a star with "The Love of Red Bean Girl" and "Rooftop House". Popular TV series such as "Kitten" have become one of the hottest stars. He has won the MBC Drama Awards for Outstanding Acting, the Most Popular Actor of the Year, the Andre Golden Star Award, and the 41st Movie Awards. Bell Award for Best Newcomer and so on. Although Zhang Chengyuan¡¯s appearance is better than him and his acting skills are not inferior to him, in this place, he is fighting for popularity, TV drama audience appeal, and entertainment.When he was in a high position, Jang Cheng-won was almost defenseless. No wonder Park Byung-yeol and Kim Tae-hee didn't think much of him. In fact, when Park Byung-yeol introduced Kim Rae-won¡¯s situation to him, Zhang Chengyuan himself didn¡¯t think he had a chance to win, unless Kim Rae-won gave up voluntarily or was injured or sick. However, with Zhang Chengyuan's firm will, it is impossible to give up before he starts. As long as there is a chance, he will try his best to fight for it. Of course, if there was a better choice, he would not be tied to a tree. In the next few days, Zhang Chengyuan stayed at home every day, devoting himself wholeheartedly to figuring out the script, almost to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat. If Cheng Youli hadn't had nothing to do during this period, he rushed to him after hearing the news and took good care of him. Maybe he will lose ten pounds. Unfortunately, not everything will be rewarded after hard work. A few days later, Park Byung-yeol called Jang Sung-won and said regretfully: "Sung-won, you don't need to prepare for the audition of "Love at Harvard" anymore. The male lead has been designated as Kim Rae-won." Jang Sung-won stayed for a while, and finally sighed: " Forget it, I really can't compare with him now!" After saying that, he fell directly into the arms of Cheng Yuli who was sitting next to him, and Cheng Yuli quickly patted his head comfortingly. Park Bingyeol continued: "But you don't have to worry, I found an audition for a TV series for you, and you are also the male lead." Zhang Chengyuan doubted: "There won't be any great opponents, my eldest brother, Don't play tricks on me anymore. I haven't had a good sleep in five or six days." He glanced at Cheng Yuli and added in his heart: "I didn't even move when Sister Yuli was around!" Park Bingyeol said, "This time. Don't worry, your opponent this time is not as high-level as Kim Rae Won. His stage name is 'Jae Hee' and he is not famous. He was just shortlisted for the Newcomer Award at the Blue Dragon Film Festival in South Korea. " Zhang Chengyuan said angrily: "That's it. It¡¯s just that? The Blue Dragon Film Festival is one of the highest film awards in Korea. How can an actor who wins the Newcomer Award be a vegetarian? "The audition for "Love at Harvard" Park Byung-yeol said hurriedly: " The Qinglong Film Festival will not be held until the end of November. He is only a finalist and has not yet won an award. Therefore, his current popularity and reputation are still lower than yours. Your chances of winning are still very high, Cheng Yuan, you have to believe in you! You are the best!" Zhang Chengyuan calmed down, cheered up, and said: "Brother Park, I was the one who lost my temper just now. Don't worry, it doesn't matter whether he is a newcomer or not, this time it is senior Zhang Dongjian who is here. , I want to defeat him too.¡± Although Park Byung-yeol didn¡¯t think there was a one in 10,000 chance that Jang Sung-won could defeat Jang Dong-gun, but now that Jang Sung-won had cheered up, he happily agreed: ¡°Yes, yes, as an actor. , you should have this kind of confidence!¡±
