    On this day, when Zhang Chengyuan was reading college textbooks at home, Park Byungyeol called and said: "Seungwon, there is a director who wants to invite you to meet and talk to you." Zhang Chengyuan said unhappily: "If it is  I hate this kind of socializing the most!¡± Park Bingyeol said, ¡°Don¡¯t I know this? It¡¯s not just socializing, but I want to invite you to be part of a group she¡¯s just about to shoot.  Zhang Chengyuan felt very strange and said: "This is strange. I have been filming for so long, and I have never been the only one to audition. I have never been personally invited by the director of a TV series?"  " "This shows that your status has been greatly improved compared to before. After all, you just won the Newcomer Award and Popularity Award at the Baeksang Arts Awards last month?" Zhang Chengyuan sneered: "No matter how much you improve, you are still just a young actor.  How can we overcome the status difference between directors and actors?" He knows very well that in the Korean entertainment industry, except for a few actors, the status of most actors is far inferior to that of directors.  Park Byung-yeol explained: "You don't know this. This director has no achievements yet, and he is also a female director. You know that female directors are not easy to get along in the film and television industry!" Directors in the entire film and television industry are basically male, and women  There are very few directors.  Zhang Chengyuan pondered for a moment and said: "If it is a female director, she might condescend to invite me personally! Then I will go there!" The next day, Park Byungyeol drove Zhang Chengyuan to Seocho District.  We met the female director who invited Zhang Chengyuan at a coffee shop. When Zhang Chengyuan arrived, the female director was already waiting there.  The two parties greeted each other, and Park Byung-yeol temporarily retreated to a table next to him, ordered a cup of coffee, and sat there to taste it. As for whether Zhang Chengyuan should accept the job invitation, it was up to Zhang Chengyuan to decide, and he would not interfere.  .  After Zhang Chengyuan casually ordered a cup of coffee, the female director said: "Let me introduce myself first. I am Li Yunzhen. I am not famous yet!" This female director has an ordinary appearance. She is over thirty years old. She is a bit slovenly, but her expression is generous and her attitude is good.  Sincerity makes it difficult for people to feel disgusted when they see it.  Zhang Chengyuan replied: "It's my honor to meet you!" Although the female director in front of him is just an unknown person, she is still a director after all, and she is much older than him. Naturally, Zhang Chengyuan will not pretend to be a big star.  shelf.  Li Yunzhen said: "I am also very happy to meet Mr. Jang Chengyuan! I invite you here this time because I want to invite you to be the male lead in my new drama "Taeling Contestant Village" which is about to start filming." Zhang Chengyuan said: "Taeling  Athletes Village? Is it going to be a story about a national sports representative? Director Li Yunzhen, can you let me read the script first? "Read the script first, and then decide whether to take on the film or television drama.  This is the habit of most famous celebrities.  Although Zhang Chengyuan has not developed this habit yet, he is ready to do so because he believes that scripts are the key to the popularity of movies and TV series.  Taeryeung Athletes Village is currently the largest sports training base in South Korea and the "cradle" for cultivating sports elites. Most of South Korea's medalists who have won international competitions are from here, so it has the reputation of "gold medal processing factory".  In addition, it is a closed training base that prohibits entry by unrelated people. Although it is located in densely populated Seoul, it is almost isolated from the world and appears to be very mysterious. Therefore, the Korean people are very concerned about this training base that gathers the best athletes in Korea.  The contestants' village is also extremely curious. If it is made into a TV series, it will definitely attract a lot of attention.  Out of this consideration, Zhang Chengyuan couldn't help but have the idea to take a careful look at the script.  Li Yunzhen said: "I carry the script with me!" He took out a script from the briefcase beside him, put it on the table, and gently pushed it in front of Zhang Chengyuan.  Li Yunzhen continued: "I hope Mr. Zhang can read the script within three days and give me a reply! I won't delay Mr. Zhang today!" Zhang Chengyuan said: "If your time allows, give me an hour. After one hour, I will  I will give you an answer!" After saying that, he opened the script and started reading it carefully.  Of course, his so-called "serious study" in other people's eyes means that he can read ten lines in one glance, and he can read more than ten or twenty pages in one minute.  At this time, after Park Byung-yeol saw this situation, he immediately moved to Zhang Chengyuan's table and apologized: "Director Li, Chengyuan is like this. He is very selfless when he works, which makes people very headache." Li Yunzhen said with a smile.  : "I also learned something about this from some seniors. It is said that Mr. Zhang Chengyuan is very dedicated when acting and is called a 'crazy actor' and a 'non-NG actor.' " "'Crazy actor' is true, and 'no-NG actor'  "It's too exaggerated. It's just that there are very few NGs. I once set a record of not having NGs within fifteen days!" said Zhang ?Yuan Yuan, Park Byung-yeol is also proud of you!  Li Yunzhen said: "This is indeed remarkable, but when he read the script, he was also very unique. I wonder if he could see it clearly?" She was afraid that Zhang Chengyuan would swallow everything and would not be able to appreciate the excitement of this script.  Park Binglie said: "Don't worry about this. Chengyuan is extremely talented and has a very high IQ. Generally, after reading a book once or twice, he can clearly remember it in his mind and understand it deeply. Don't watch him read.  Soon, it turned out that for him, he really looked at things very carefully. If he hadn't had this ability, he wouldn't have been able to film movies and commercials and study acting at the same time, and still be admitted with the highest score in Seoul.  Seoul National University, I think if he concentrates on his studies, he can become a very good professor. " Li Yunzhen nodded and said: "Well, this is really a pity. I don't know why he doesn't concentrate on his studies and wants to be a professor.  Where is the famous actor? "The status of a professor is much higher than that of an actor, and his income is extremely high. It is normal for Li Yunzhen to have this question!  Park Byung-yeol said: "I don't know about this. Maybe he feels that focusing on studying is too boring and is not as interesting as being an actor. Besides, even if he is an actor, he is still extremely talented. In time, he may not be able to become the best actor in Korea.  One!¡±¡­ The two of them chatted intently, passing the time, waiting for Zhang Chengyuan to finish reading the script.  After more than half an hour, Zhang Chengyuan closed the script and said: "Director Li Yunzhen, this script is quite interesting. I think I already have the preliminary idea of ??participating in this drama, but I don't understand it at all. With this script  The length of it is only about four or five episodes. Maybe there are other scripts that have not been written? " Li Yunzhen said: "There are only so many scripts. I forgot to tell you that this TV series is a short drama.  Each episode is about half an hour, and eight episodes are planned to be filmed, which will be broadcast on MBC's Best Theater at the end of October. "When she said this, Park Byung-yeol and Jang Sung-won immediately had the idea of ????backing off. The short script is the second best, and the key is MBC's best.  The best theaters are not prime time for broadcasting TV dramas. Even if the ratings are good, they will only be mediocre. Moreover, the investment intensity for this kind of TV series is obviously not very high, so the salary Zhang Chengyuan can get must be much less than before.  Li Yunzhen was well aware of Zhang Chengyuan's concerns. It was generally very difficult to recruit top-rated stars to join this kind of drama. She only wanted to invite Zhang Chengyuan with the idea of ??giving it a try, and never thought that it would be successful. But if  If she is lucky enough to invite Zhang Chengyuan, she will make a lot of money. At least the attention her drama will attract will definitely increase a lot.  In order to increase the success rate of inviting Zhang Chengyuan and to show her sincerity, she invited Zhang Chengyuan in person.  Zhang Chengyuan thought for a while and asked: "I don't know, director, why you want to invite me to star in this TV series and this role?" Li Yunzhen explained: "I once saw your dance performance in "X-MAN"  , the scene where you put Yoon Eun Hye on your shoulders and then danced around in a circle left a deep impression on me. When I received this TV series, I immediately thought of you. I felt that with your size and strength, it would be great to play a  Judo World Champion will be very suitable and more convincing to the audience. Of course, your popularity is also an important factor in my choice. I think that although this drama will not bring you much honor, the reward will not be very high.  Although it is high, it can help you broaden your acting career and deepen the audience's impression of you. "That makes sense. Most of the roles played by Zhang Chengyuan in the past were urban youths. This role of a national representative athlete is a novel attempt, and the performance is very good.  If it's good, it will also prove that he can play more roles well.  Li Yunzhen continued: "Another reason is that, as far as I know, Mr. Jang Sung-won is not an actor who judges whether he should take on a TV series based on his salary, and he has great freedom to choose the script, and he does not have to obey the agency's instructions.  It was a decision made based on profit considerations. It was because of these thoughts that I had the courage to invite a top popular star like Mr. Zhang Chengyuan to star in my small TV series with little investment. "In fact, Zhang Chengyuan is still far from a top popular star.  There is a slight difference. She said this just to compliment Zhang Chengyuan.  But her compliment wasn't too much, so Zhang Chengyuan didn't resent it.  In addition, many times, actors want to take on a role after seeing a good script, but they are often forced to give up because the agency and the producer cannot agree on the price. However, Zhang Chengyuan does not have such troubles, because he  His agency contract clearly stipulates that he can choose scripts without restrictions.  Seeing that Li Yunzhen's words were quite sincere and frank, Zhang Chengyuan became even more moved. He thought that since he was not very busy now, it wouldn't take too much time to shoot this TV miniseries. It wouldn't hurt to give it a try, but the conditions should be mentioned.  It still needs to be said, otherwise only one side will make sacrifices, while the production side will not.If he enjoys the success, wouldn't it appear that he is too easily fooled?  So, Zhang Chengyuan said: "Director Li, now I usually spend one or two days every week filming SBS's reverse drama. I wonder if it will affect the filming of this drama?" Li Yunzhen said: "This is absolutely not the case.  Yes, we will adjust the shooting time for you." Li Yunzhen naturally agreed to this small convenience.  Zhang Chengyuan added: "Also, the role of the female archer in this drama is, well, the female lead. I would like to recommend an actress to give it a try. I wonder, director, if you can meet her.  , talk to her?¡± Although it was a bit conditional, Zhang Chengyuan tried to be tactful so as not to make the female director think that he was taking the opportunity to threaten.  Li Yunzhen did not agree rashly. She thought about it and asked calmly: "Who is the person you want to recommend?" Zhang Chengyuan said: "It's Li Zhen, one of the members of the original singer group Fin.k.l. He is filming with me now.  SBS drama, she is a very close sister to me, I think she is very suitable for this role." Although he made the decision for her without asking Li Zhen, Jang Sung-won knew that his sister Jin would not be angry.  And you should like this female archer character.  Li Yunzhen smiled and said: "It turns out it's her. I recognize her and have watched her dramas. Her popularity and acting skills are pretty good. Since it's her, I have nothing to say no to. If she is willing, I will follow her."  I'll get in touch and let's talk about it! But you haven't informed her yet, how do you know if she will agree?" Anyway, the role hasn't been chosen yet, so how could she disagree if Li Zhen, who is quite popular, can play the role?  ?  Of course, the premise is that Li Zhen can fit this role.  Zhang Chengyuan said happily: "I will tell her. I think after she reads the script, she will definitely agree. She is an actor who likes to challenge various roles! Director Li Yunzhen, then we have decided!"  Seeing that the matter had been settled, Li Yunzhen stretched out her hand in a handshake gesture and said at the same time: "Mr. Zhang Chengyuan, welcome to join the crew of "Taeling Contestant Village"!" Zhang Chengyuan stretched out his hand to shake her hand, and then bowed to leave.  Before leaving, he took the script away so that he could show it to Li Zhen. As for himself, he didn't need it, because every sentence and word in the script had already entered his mind.
