Chapter 378 The Eve of Finalization
Putting aside the emptiness after fighting against the real army, May 2007 was a good month for him with frequent good news.
"The World of Escorts" came to a successful conclusion.
The ratings have exploded. The most important thing is that Xu Kun personally led the modification of the "Growth Line" and received considerable recognition.
Many film critics have mentioned that watching these ten digital movies is like witnessing Xiao Wang's life journey from a passionate boy to a calm man.
Because this transformation is linear, it is not very obvious when watching it, but as long as you recall it afterwards, you will find that from the beginning to the ending, Xiao Wang has undergone earth-shaking changes from his kung fu skills to his speech and behavior.
Even Xu Kun's shooting techniques are more mature than the previous ones, perfectly fitting Xiao Wang's growth and achieving a complementary effect.
These praises from film critics can be regarded as a perfect ending to Xu Kun's "work of study".
The second happy event is the popularity of "Soldier Assault". By the time of the finale, this military drama, which was lukewarm when it first aired, has made a comeback to become the best of the year.
This result exceeded everyone's expectations, and this time the performance was finally no longer regarded as someone's accessory - of course, the voices that ridiculed him for being a true performer still existed.
On the night when "Soldier Assault" ended, Bao Qiang successfully established a relationship with Hu Fu.
This surprised many people who were not optimistic about the two, including Xu Kun himself.
The third piece of good news is somewhat mixed.
"Struggle", which was aired in mid-May, has exploded in ratings, even surpassing "Soldier Assault". The stars of Deng Chao, Wen Zhang, Ma Yili, Li Xiaolu, and Jiang Xin have soared in fame.
The second male and female leads played by Wen Zhang and Li Xiaolu are particularly lovable, and even overshadowed the male protagonist Deng Chao. Of course, Deng Chao has firmly established himself in the front line after this battle, which makes Huayi, who has just signed him, very happy.
Everything else is good, but Wen Zhang...
The fourth piece of good news is that the Thai side heard that Xu Kun was looking for a female fighter and offered to provide two female Muay Thai fighters, saying that they would be kept to Xu Kun's satisfaction.
at the same time.
The filming of "Apple" is also going very smoothly. Although paparazzi have been chasing Yuan Li all day long since she joined the cast, this does not prevent Xu Kun from getting better.
If at the beginning, he was just one step ahead of others, then the gap would become wider as time went by.
Especially the scene where he was convinced that the child was not his and had an emotional breakdown was Xu Kun's best performance since he started his career.
This is because this character is more suitable for Xu Kun's background. Secondly, it is also because he was in prison in his previous life and was used to seeing this kind of person's emotional breakdown.
Combining what he saw and heard in his previous life with his own understanding of the characters, he tried to create a flesh-and-blood character that was shocking enough. This is actually what Xu Kun has been doing.
But there is no doubt that this time he was more successful than before.
Maybe I learned to look at and analyze characters from a director's perspective from "The World"; maybe I was on the set of "Assembly" and was trained by Director Feng.
Anyway, in the last few emotional outburst scenes, Xu Kun became more outstanding each time.
Especially after tearing off the golden chain and completely exposing his weak side, his performance was even more direct.
So much so that Li Yu, who had been a little cold towards him since the day he fought against the real army, sincerely praised him. His performance in this movie was worthy of an actor, and he was the kind of actor with weight.
"May I lend you some good words."
Xu Kun didn't take it too seriously, although he also felt that his performance this time was better than before, even surpassing the second half of "Zhu Yuanzhang".
But after experiencing the Golden Eagle Award meddling incident, he is no longer so naive as to think that as long as his acting skills are good enough, he will definitely win the grand prize.
In addition, for mainland actors, the award that is easier to obtain and more recognized these days is basically the Golden Horse Award.
But it happened that Xu Kun offended the people in Wanquan again because of Zhou Yumin's incident...
Because the filming went smoothly, the film that was originally scheduled to be filmed until mid-July was almost completed by the end of June - the scenes of this film are relatively fixed [but a lot of scenery in the capital was filmed], and there are no big scenes. The actors worked well together, so the filming was faster.
The bits and pieces that follow are mainly the scenes between Tong Dawei, Fan Bingbing and Yuan Li.
So by June 27, Xu Kun will be finished.
But before leaving the crew, he was asked to shoot a series of quite inexplicable scenes with Tong Dawei.
The two of them pushed the car forward together on the busy street. They took pictures from day to night, and from long shots to close shots.
But from beginning to end, Xu Kun and Tong Dawei didn't understand what plot they were filming - could it be that the last two men who hated their wives could turn their hostility into friendship?
Faced with the doubts of the two people, Li Yu did not explain anything. Maybe even she herself did not think clearly about the meaning of this plot, but she just wanted to film such a plot. This is probably the willfulness of the creator alone.
In order to shoot this scene, Xu Kun stayed on the crew for another day.
I originally wanted to go home directly in the evening, but I was stopped by Fan Bingbing, who said that it was the end and there was no need to celebrate in a small way.
As for the way to celebrate...
"Sister Li."
In the corridor of the hotel, she stopped Yuan Li, who was about to go back to the room to rest, and invited with an unabashed smile: "Would you like to join us tonight? You know our Director Xu's physical strength, I am alone..."
Snap~
Before she could finish speaking to her, Yuan Li suddenly slapped her in the face, and then spat fiercely: "Bah, bitch, do you think everyone is the same as you?!"
The movement was so fast that Xu Kun didn't have time to stop it.
Fan Bingbing was also stunned. When he reacted, he immediately counterattacked with bared teeth and claws: "Who are you scolding? Are you sick?!"
"You're the one who's sick! Bah, bitch!"
"Who are you pretending to be innocent?! Who do you think doesn't know what you are doing?!"
Seeing the two of them tearing apart and cursing without scruple, Xu Kun stepped forward and pulled the two away: "Please keep your voice down, it will be a lot of fun if reporters hear it!"
"Hmph~"
Yuan Li first stopped, pushed open the door to her room and walked in. She even spat at Fan Bingbing before closing the door.
"伱!"
"Don't be angry, don't be angry!"
Xu Kun grabbed Fan Bingbing, who was about to pounce. Fan Bingbing saw that Yuan Li's door was closed, so he pushed Xu Kun away, gritted his teeth and asked: "What's wrong with her?! Are you following her?" What did you say? ”
"What does this have to do with me?"
Xu Kun first complained, and then analyzed: "Maybe she doesn't like multi-person sports?"
Fan Bingbing rolled her eyes at him, turned around and went back to her room. After unlocking the door and getting in, she locked the door with lightning speed.
Xu Kun almost felt frustrated and said speechlessly: "What are you doing?"
"I'm not in the mood anymore, go back to your Teddy sisters!"
"Hey, it's not my fault."
Xu Kun was quite speechless. The fight was inexplicable, and he was angered inexplicably.
But seeing Fan Bingbing's attitude, he was too lazy to bother and drove directly back to his home in the South Fourth Ring Road.
When I got home, I felt that it was deserted and not very popular.
As long as Xu Kun is not at home, Jiang Yiyan, Huo Siyan, Chen Shu, Yang Mi, Tang Yan and others will basically not come over.
Qin Lan, the only one who regularly helps clean up the house, recently took on a sad drama called "Yun Niang".
This drama originally wanted to cast An Yixuan as the heroine, the same Wanwan actor who played Lin Yueru in Sword and Fairy.
Later, it was Xu Kun who promised the investors that he would allocate some investment shares in the new movie, and he gave An Yixuan the support. Director Wanwan was very unhappy about this, but in the end he couldn't get the investors to do anything.
Looking at the empty living room and bedroom, Xu Kun hesitated for a moment, and finally called Jiang Yiyan - this woman may not be the most lovable, but she is the one who has the deepest bond with him.
After dialing the number, I heard chaos there, including men's roars, women's screams, and occasionally the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
"Where are you?"
"In a boxing gym here on the South Fourth Ring Road."
Jiang Yiyan said loudly and excitedly: "The female boxer that the Thais helped to find has arrived - Brother Kun, do you want to come over and have a look? Those two foreign horses are so powerful. They beat Brother Baoqiang so hard that he can hardly parry... Hey, Paul Strong fights back, Baoqiang fights back! Come on, come on!”
Probably stimulated by her words, Baoqiang's roar came from the other side. Just by hearing the movement, he knew that the scene must be very exciting.
