    One morning in early July, when Zhang Chengyuan was staying at home to accompany and take care of Li Zhen and his son Hengren, he suddenly received an unexpected phone call from someone he had met in the TV series "The Painter of the Wind"  My co-director Zhang Taiyou called and asked him to meet tonight to discuss something.  ¡ÑDing Dian Dian Novel, Regarding Zhang Taiyou, although they have not collaborated with each other since "The Painter of the Wind" in 2008, and have not met several times, Zhang Chengyuan is still deeply impressed, because Zhang Taiyou is a very famous actor.  A talented and rigorous director, since becoming an official director in 2007, he has only directed three TV series: "The War of Money", "The Painter of the Wind", and "A Tree with Deep Roots", but each of them has been well received.  He has won numerous awards, the most commendable of which is that his three TV series pushed Park Shin Yang, Moon Geun Young, and Han Seok Kyu to the podium of the final grand award at the SBS TV station's year-end awards ceremony.  Such achievements are definitely not achieved by ordinary directors, so how can Zhang Chengyuan not remember him deeply?  In addition, Zhang Chengyuan still remembered that he had promised Zhang Taiyou to cooperate with him again in the future at the closing banquet of "Painter of the Wind", and this time Zhang Taiyou asked him to meet, probably because of this, so he agreed to Zhang Taiyou's offer.  invite.  At nearly 7 o'clock that night, Jang Seong-won showed up at a Korean restaurant in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam. He was not very satisfied with Jang Tae-yo's decision to set the date here because it was not quiet and private enough, but he did not force Jang Tae-yo to change the location. After all,  Guests and hosts are welcome to do as they please. Although his current status is far higher than Zhang Taiyou, he does not judge others casually.  Entering a cubicle, I saw Zhang Taiyou had already arrived.  Zhang Chengyuan smiled and said hello to him.  Then he walked over and sat across from him.  His expression was very casual, as if he was meeting an old friend he hadn't seen for many years. However, he and Zhang Taiyou had a very good relationship when they were filming together. During the filming, he took a long leave because he had to go to southwest China for disaster relief.  , Zhang Taiyou readily agreed at that time.  Zhang Taiyou asked: "Chengyuan, have you eaten? If you haven't eaten yet, why don't you have a meal here?" He was not very polite to Zhang Chengyuan.  He didn't seem to be regarded as the president of a large, powerful group.  "I've already eaten at home, but you know how big my portion is. It's okay to eat a few more bowls of rice, so prepare one for me. Maybe I haven't eaten with you, director, for a long time." Zhang Chengyuan said calmly.  road.  Zhang Taiyou nodded, then stood up and went outside to call a waiter, gave a few instructions, then returned to his seat, looked at Zhang Chengyuan and said: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and you are now the top superstar in Korea and the president of a large consortium.  . But nothing seems to have changed?" He said while pouring a glass of wine.  Pass it to Zhang Chengyuan.  Zhang Chengyuan reached out to take it, drank it down without hesitation, and said: "It's not that I haven't changed, I just always keep in mind that I am an actor first, and then everything else. So to the director, I will naturally act like an actor."  My identity has spoken to you." "It's good if you think so. I'm worried that we can't get along now," Zhang Taiyou said with a slight smile.  "Are you afraid that I will become arrogant and arrogant now and not take you seriously? So you chose such an ordinary restaurant to see if I can still endure the hardship?" Zhang Taiyou was slightly embarrassed.  , but immediately returned to his natural state, and said calmly: "Actually, I'm not worried that you can't endure hardship. Among Korean actors, almost no one can compare with you in terms of ability to endure hardship, but I am really worried that you will now  You are even more proud than before, so even if I want to work with you again, I won¡¯t dare. But now it seems that instead of becoming more proud, you are more humble.¡± Zhang Chengyuan smiled lightly and said, ¡°Director,  Maybe you are wrong. In fact, I don¡¯t think I have become humble. It¡¯s just that I may be more restrained as I get older.¡± ¡°In any case, you have not become more arrogant and domineering, so we have cooperation.  That¡¯s the premise.¡± Zhang Taiyou said with a smile.  He was originally worried that Zhang Chengyuan would become arrogant and uncontrollable, making him unable to cooperate with him, but now he is much more relieved.  "Well, let's stop talking. Director, I think you asked me out this time because you want to invite me to star in a TV series, right? Then show me the script." Zhang Chengyuan took the lead in getting to the point. He didn't have much free time to follow.  Zhang Taiyou reminisced about the past.  "It seems that you are still the same as before. Before accepting the drama, you have to read the script before talking about anything else. Fortunately, I still remember your habit and brought the script with you. Otherwise, we probably wouldn't be able to talk today." He  While joking, he took out a script from the briefcase beside him and handed it to Zhang Chengyuan.  Zhang Chengyuan reached out and took it, smiled slightly and said: "Some habits can't be changed no matter how much you change them. Although I believe that the script of the TV series directed by you, the director, must be a good script,"?I still want to see it with my own eyes for peace of mind.  Well, director, you go about your business. I'll read the script first and then talk to you.  "After saying that, he immediately opened the script and read it carefully. Then he said nothing and stopped paying attention to other things. And Zhang Taiyou didn't bother him. He drank quietly and waited. After a while, the food was served.  He knew that Zhang Chengyuan didn't like to be disturbed when he was working, so he didn't advise him to take a few bites first. About forty minutes later, Zhang Chengyuan finished reading the script and looked up at Zhang Taiyou.  , said with great satisfaction: "Director, this script is very exciting and fresh. If it is filmed well, it will probably exceed the 30% ratings.  " Zhang Taiyou said: "Then you have to star in this drama, otherwise it will be difficult to break through the 30% ratings?  ¡± In today¡¯s increasingly sluggish TV viewing market, except for some long-form dramas, it is extremely difficult for ordinary TV dramas to have a ratings of more than 30%. With Jang Sung-won¡¯s top audience appeal in South Korea, he has taken over filming in the past two years  No other TV series has ever achieved this, let alone other actors. Zhang Chengyuan said: "I really want to take on this drama, because the setting of the male protagonist is quite challenging. He looks young but has vicissitudes of life on the inside.  , an alien who has stayed on earth for 400 years, and whose occupation is still a university professor. This is the first time I have met such a character.  Nowadays, Korean screenwriters have much more imagination than before.  " Zhang Taiyou said: "I also think the role of Do Minjun, the male protagonist in this drama, is very challenging.  It's not easy to act well.  In my opinion, among all the first-line actors in Korea, maybe you and Kim Soo-hyun are the only ones who can control this role and bring this role to life. Of course, compared to you, Kim Soo-hyun is a little more immature, and his appearance conditions are not as good as yours, so still  You are the most suitable.  " "Kim Soo Hyun?  Zhang Chengyuan thought for a while and agreed: "Maybe only Kim Soo-hyun and I can play this role well. The other actors either have poor acting skills or inappropriate appearance. However, if Kim Soo-hyun is asked to play this role, he may not be worse than me."  , his naivety and occasional cuteness may add some unique charm to this character.  " "Chengyuan, don't you think he can act better than you?  " Zhang Taiyou said with some surprise. In the past, Zhang Chengyuan has always done his best in acting and had a high self-esteem. He never expected that he would have such high regard for a junior, but it can be seen from this. He is really humble now. "Of course this is impossible, I don't think so.  How many years has it been since your debut?  Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I lost to a young man in terms of acting?  "Compared with childishness and cuteness, he is naturally not as good as Kim Soo Hyun, but he is confident that the Do Minjun he plays will have other more attractive charms, at least not losing to Kim Soo Hyun. " Zhang Taiyou said: "Actually, when it comes to childishness and cuteness,  I think you can also act well. In "Breastman" which was just released a few days ago, you look like a high school student in your school uniform. I think even Kim Soo Hyun wearing a high school uniform may not look more like a high school student than you.  Student, I have to say that you have taken good care of yourself. It seems that you have never aged over the years, but your temperament has become more mature. But for an actor like you, it is not difficult to change your temperament. And  A slightly mature temperament is more suitable for Do Minjun, after all, he has lived for at least 400 years.  " Zhang Chengyuan said doubtfully: "Director, you didn't decide to cast me for this role after seeing me in my high school uniform, right?  " Zhang Taiyou didn't hide it, saying: "I was really wavering between you and Kim Soo-hyun at first, and I was just slightly leaning towards you. But after watching that episode of "Breasting Man", I immediately made up my mind to choose you. After all, Kim Soo-hyun  You have almost all of your advantages, but he doesn't have or can't compare with some of your advantages, so of course he should choose you.  Of course, in the end, you have to be willing to take this role, otherwise I will have no choice but to look for Kim Soo Hyun again.  " Zhang Chengyuan said: "I really want to take on this drama, but in the end whether I want to take it on or not, I have to consider other circumstances.  Director, when will this drama be released and when will filming start?  " Zhang Taiyou said: "The tentative release date is around mid-December this year, and the filming start time is early November.  " "Early November?  I plan to star in a Hollywood movie in early November.  "Zhang Chengyuan hesitated. "Aren't you going to star in a Hollywood movie next month?  That should be over by November.  I came to see you after asking about your schedule.  " "I am not talking about the one I will star in next month, but a Hollywood movie that I invested in, contacted the Hollywood film and television company to shoot, and prepared to star in.  " "You invest in and star in Hollywood movies yourself?  "Zhang Taiyou was shocked. He had never heard of any actor doing this, at least not among Korean actors. But with Zhang Chengyuan's current net worth and his acting style?This is not incomprehensible.  Zhang Chengyuan said: "This is also a helpless move for me. Apart from this method, do you think there is any other way for me to star in a Hollywood movie and become a first-line Hollywood actor? I have already starred in 6 Hollywood movies, but I still can't do it."  It¡¯s just a supporting role, just a second-tier movie star.¡± Zhang Taiyou thought for a while and sighed: ¡°It seems that this is the only way. After all, Hollywood¡¯s exclusion of Asian artists is well known, and currently only a few Asian superstars can star in a few Hollywood movies.  , I hope you can be the next one. " "I hope so too."
