In the busy shooting life, time flies by quickly, and another half month has passed. As of October 23, "Wind Painter" has aired its 10th episode. As the plot continues to unfold, the relationship between men and women As the protagonist's love gradually develops, the TV series' ratings have steadily increased, from 18.8% in the second episode to around 25%, and have stabilized. It should be pointed out in particular that when episode 7 was broadcast on the evening of the 15th, because its biggest competitor "Beethoven Virus" was temporarily suspended and switched to football games, some housewives who followed "Beethoven Virus" would The channel was transferred to the other two channels, which in vain reduced the ratings of "Painter of the Wind" and "The Kingdom of the Wind". The ratings of "Painter of the Wind" reached 28.7%, and the ratings of "The Kingdom of the Wind" also slightly rise. It¡¯s a pity that as soon as ¡°Beethoven Virus¡± resumed broadcasting on October 16, it immediately regained the lost ground, so that the ratings of ¡°Wind Painter¡± not only failed to continue to rise, but dropped back to 25.3%. This made the crew feel very regretful, thinking that if "Beethoven Virus" had been suspended for another day, the ratings of "Wind Painter" might have exceeded 30%. Moreover, if this rare opportunity is lost, I am afraid that the ratings of "Wind Painter" will never exceed 30%. In addition, in more than half a month, Zhang Chengyuan also did two things, which are worth mentioning. One is: On October 9, Eric, the captain of the popular longevity singer group Shinhwa Group, enlisted in the army. As a friend, Jang Cheng-won rushed to the Nonsan Army Training Center in Chungnam Province that morning and met with him. The second is: On October 13, the 10th program recording of "The Birth of a Family" added a new regular member - Kim Jong Kook. As a semi-regular member, Zhang Chengyuan took the time to welcome him, but he did not participate in the recording of this program. ¡ On October 28, Jang Sung-won, who was filming on the set, suddenly received an uninvited guest - Park Jin-pyo, a very famous director in South Korea. In 2005, he won the Best Director at the 26th Blue Dragon Film Awards for his movie "You Are My Destiny". Zhang Chengyuan was very puzzled by his unexpected visit, because it was the first time for him to see the director, and it could be said that he was a stranger and had no friendship with him. After the filming ended that night, Zhang Chengyuan found a quiet place near the set and chatted with him. Park Jinbiao, born in 1966. He is only 43 years old this year, and he is considered young and promising in the director world. Although he has not directed many films, with only three regular films so far, each one has attracted great attention and has done well at the box office. He is an excellent director who is good at describing the beautiful emotions in the world through his lens. When the conversation started, Park Zhenbiao said: "Mr. Zhang Chengyuan, I am preparing to start shooting a new movie called "My Love Is By My Side". Have you heard of this movie?" Zhang Chengyuan said: "Of course I have. The media has been full of news about it recently. "As early as last month, when major media announced that the two stars Kwon Sang Woo and Ha Ji Won were about to co-produce this movie. It has already attracted widespread public attention. Then, in order to allow the filming of the film to start smoothly as soon as possible, Kwon Sang-woo announced that he was willing to star in the film for free, which made the public hotly discuss it. Two days ago, the production company of "My Love Is By My Side" announced that Kwon Sang Woo, who was originally scheduled to be the male lead in the film, had terminated his starring agreement with the production company because Kwon Sang Woo felt he was not suitable for the role and voluntarily resigned. As soon as this news was made public, it attracted even more attention. in this case. Naturally, Zhang Chengyuan had heard about it, but since he felt that it would have nothing to do with this movie, he didn't pay much attention to it. He didn't want Park Jinbiao to come to his door today. Park Jin-pyo continued: "I came here this time to see if there is a possibility of cooperating with Mr. Jang Sung-won." Jang Sung-won asked: "Director Park, do you want me to succeed Mr. Kwon Sang-woo in this movie?" Park Jin-pyo nodded. : "I did have this idea before I came here, and I just had the honor to watch you filming, which confirmed my idea even more - Mr. Zhang Chengyuan is indeed the most outstanding actor of the younger generation. I deeply feel that I am looking for you. We have found the right person. " Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Although the media and professionals have always praised Jang Sung-won's acting skills, Park Jin-pyo was not convinced at first. I thought that Zhang Chengyuan's acting skills might be really good, but they should not reach the top level in the industry. After all, he is only 26 years old, and acting skills usually require time and experience to hone. But today he witnessed Zhang Chengyuan's filming and continued to watch it carefully all afternoon. He suddenly realized that Zhang Chengyuan's acting skills were extremely outstanding, no less than those of Korean movie kings, and even exceeded them in some aspects. He began to earnestly hope that he could Zhang Chengyuan was invited to star in his movie. Zhang Chengyuan said: "Director Park, as far as I know, the actor in the movie "My Love Is By My Side"No. ? is a patient suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease who is gradually paralyzed and losing weight. If you want to play this role well, the first prerequisite is that the actor's body must be thin enough, so he must work hard to lose weight. , in order to fit the image of the character. It is said that Mr. Kwon Sang Woo resigned from this movie because he was too strong and found it difficult to do this. And since I'm taller and stronger than him, I'm afraid I'm even less suitable for this role? " Park Zhenbiao smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Zhang Chengyuan, do you know how I came up with the idea of ??asking you to play this role? It was actually recommended by the film¡¯s female lead, Ms. Ha Ji-won. She assured me that you are absolutely capable of reducing your weight and body shape to a level suitable for this role in a very short period of time, so I came to see you. " Hearing that it was Ha Ji-won's recommendation, Zhang Chengyuan couldn't help but be a little confused, because he told her at the beginning of the month that his schedule was not suitable for taking on this movie, but it was not convenient to go into the matter at this time, so he put it aside for the time being. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said: "Sister Zhiyuan is right, I can indeed do this. However, Director Park, I am currently filming a TV series, which will not be completed until the end of November. In March next year, I will start filming a new TV series, but as far as I know, "My Love Is By My Side" will not be completed until the end of November. Shooting won't start until February next year, so I'm afraid I won't have much time to star in the movie. " Park Jin Biao said deeply: "I will find a way to solve this problem and try to start shooting the film in December or early January next year. I believe it will take two months. You can definitely finish filming this movie in time. In fact, this movie is not complicated and the shooting is not very difficult. What really needs to be paid attention to is your weight loss process and your acting skills. But these two points, I believe you can Give us a very good performance. Also, just to be on the safe side. We can shoot your scene first so it won't delay your other work. " "Oh, so that's it. This adjustment really gave me time to shoot this movie. That's why Sister Hailin recommended me to director Park Jin Pyo. At the same time, it can be seen that Sister Hailin really wants to act with me again, and I can't let her down. ¡± Thinking of this, Zhang Chengyuan agreed: ¡°If we can really shoot according to the time you said, director. Then I am very willing to take on this movie. The role of a patient with Lou Gehrig's disease is very challenging. I would like to take on the role once. Maybe I can win an important award with this role. " Park Jin-pyo said: "If you can play this role well, I believe you will be able to win one or two movie awards. "It can be seen that he has great confidence in his new movie. After a pause, he added: "Mr. Zhang, I heard that your company has invested in the filming of film and television dramas. Is there such a thing? " Zhang Chengyuan said: "Well, it did happen once or twice. " Park Zhenbiao said: "Then are you interested in investing in my movie? " Zhang Chengyuan was slightly startled and asked. "Director Park, haven't the crew raised enough funds for filming yet? ¡± Park Jinbiao said frankly: ¡°I won¡¯t hide it from you. The crew has indeed not raised enough funds. You also know that the film market is currently sluggish and it is difficult to raise funds. " Zhang Chengyuan said: "I wonder how much is left? " "This movie requires an investment of about 4 billion won, and now the difference is about 1.5 billion. " Zhang Chengyuan said: "1.5 billion? That's not much. I can take it, and I am willing to take it, but I have a small condition. " "You have all the 1.5 billion? "Park Zhenbiao was greatly surprised. He originally only expected Zhang Chengyuan to come up with a few hundred million. After all, the economy is not good this year, investment risks are relatively high, and artists don't earn much. He didn't expect Zhang Chengyuan to take it all without blinking an eye. , which made him very happy. It should be noted that he had spent a lot of effort to raise enough funds for filming. Zhang Chengyuan said: "Yes. I'll cover it all, but you have to agree to my conditions. " Park Zhenbiao immediately regained his composure and asked, "What are your conditions? " Zhang Chengyuan said: "I have always had a wish - to independently direct an excellent action movie. I have been working hard for this dream in the past few years. This time I hope to learn from you. Directing skills and practice them a little by the way. "Although Park Jin-pyo is not an action director, he has reached the same goal by different paths. Since he has won the Blue Dragon Award for Best Director, he must have some merits, so Zhang Chengyuan hopes to get some guidance from him. "Do you want to be the assistant director of this movie? " "Yes. I hope Director Park can make it happen! " Pu Zhenbiao said thoughtfully: "This condition is nothing, I just agree. "Compared to Zhang Chengyuan's 1.5 billion investment, his request is really nothing. Park Zhenbiao has no reason not to agree. " Then, Park Zhenbiao said:?Now let¡¯s talk about your treatment. What are your requirements, such as remuneration? " Zhang Chengyuan said: "I think even with the extra 1.5 billion I contributed, the crew may not have enough funds. So why not, I will learn from Mr. Kwon Sang-woo and not get a fixed salary. " "Do you want to star in it for zero pay, and then wait for the movie to be released and then get a share of the box office dividends? " "Yes. " "Are you so confident in this movie? Aren't you afraid that you will suffer a loss if you do this? " Zhang Chengyuan said: "I believe in Director Park's ability, and I am also optimistic about Sister Ji Won and myself. I think this movie will definitely be a blockbuster movie. " Park Zhenbiao said: "I agree in principle with your request, but I still need to discuss it with representatives of other investors. "Zhang Chengyuan's remuneration method involves the interests of all investors, so it is not something that he, the director, can decide alone. Zhang Chengyuan nodded and said: "Of course it is. " Park Zhenbiao asked: "If your request cannot be met, how much remuneration will you propose? " Zhang Chengyuan said: "I heard that the film salary of top Korean actors in the past was more than 600 million won. Now that the market is sluggish, everyone has taken the initiative to lower their salary, so I will also lower it, just 400 million won. " Park Zhenbiao said: "Based on your current popularity and worth, this is not much, I can agree to it. So, are there any conditions left? " Zhang Chengyuan said: "In addition, I always have a lot of announcements, so it is sometimes convenient for me to ask the director to let me take leave from time to time to leave the crew after filming. Of course, it will never affect the normal filming process of the film. " Park Jin Biao said: "I heard from Ms. Ha Ji Won and other industry insiders about your filming habits. It's nothing. Many busy top artists often do this. As long as it doesn't affect filming, I will approve your leave. " Zhang Chengyuan said: "Then thank you Director Park. Now that I have no other special requirements, you can send someone to my agency to discuss the remaining contract details. "Pu Zhenbiao said: "Okay, that's it. Well, let's stop talking about it today. I have to deal with some other things, so I'll take my leave. "The crew still has things waiting for him. Zhang Chengyuan did not hold back and said: "Then let's meet again next time. Director Park, please walk slowly! "Then the two said goodbye to each other and left. Returning to the hotel where the crew stayed, Zhang Chengyuan habitually went to Wen Geunying's room first to talk to her, and then they talked about filming a new movie. After hearing this, Wen Geunying said: ¡°So you¡¯re going to collaborate with Sister Hailin on your next work? " "Yes. " Moon Geun-young said: "Brother Cheng Yuan, I really envy you. You can shoot almost every work with the people you like, but I can't! " Zhang Chengyuan smiled and said: "What, you can't bear to separate from me? Don¡¯t we still have about a month to get along? Why do you need to sigh so early? " Wen Geunying said: "A month will pass in a blink of an eye, and it will not be as easy for me to see you by then! Hearing this, Zhang Chengyuan also felt some emotions, nodded and said: "Yes, we will indeed not see each other so easily in the future!" After pondering for a while, he suddenly said: "In this case, shouldn't we cherish the time in front of us?" " Wen Genying glanced at Zhang Chengyuan suspiciously and said, "Brother Chengyuan, are you going to make some special requests to me again? " Zhang Chengyuan pinched her nose gently and praised: "Genying, you are such a smart girl! I really think so. From tonight on, you should sleep with me so that we can spend more time together. " Wen Genying said in panic: "How can this be done? Something big will happen if someone sees you. " Zhang Chengyuan said nonchalantly: "As long as no one sees me, don't worry, I will be very careful and no one will find out that I sneaked into your room late at night. "He planned to wait until everyone was almost asleep every night, then sneak into Wen Genying's room, then hold her to sleep with her, and wait until dawn the next day before leaving secretly. "Wen Genying thought for a while and said: "In this case, then It's up to you. But, Brother Cheng Yuan, you won¡¯t take the opportunity to kill me, right? "She still has considerable trust in Zhang Chengyuan's ability, but she is not very confident about his lustful character. Zhang Chengyuan said: "No, in order not to affect the filming, I will not change you from a girl to a woman for the time being, but I don't promise I won't do something to you again. " Wen Genying snorted slightly and muttered: "Brother Chengyuan, you are really a big pervert. "
