Chapter 386: Hugging the grass and beating the rabbit
Xu Kun once again made the mistake that every man makes.
There was no way, I could only blame the women in the entertainment industry for being so good at taking advantage of their bodies, and he was a man who was ill and never kept his illness under wraps.
Tell the truth.
Although Li Dabai is one year older than Chen Shu, reaching the age of thirty, and is an old aunt in the eyes of some book friends, his dewy figure is really amazing.
With both the plumpness of 34-year-old Yuan Li and the delicacy of 20-year-old Yang Mi, it is no wonder that Sun Donghai once regarded her as a forbidden love, and even had to intervene in the filming of her baby.
After repeated interactions, Xu Kun finally determined that Li Xiaoran really wanted to send Sun Donghai in, and was not here to test him.
So before July 1st, Xu Kun sent the two cases to the Hong Kong media through special channels, which could be regarded as a 'gift' to the tenth anniversary of the handover.
July 6th arrived in the blink of an eye.
On this day, several major shareholders of New Film met at Huayi to discuss the early and mid-term capital injection process, as well as matters related to later distribution.
Xu Kun will naturally be present as well.
This time he took out 6 million in cash, and then converted the director's remuneration and actor's remuneration into 4 million, making a total investment of 10 million.
Bao Qiang's salary increased to 1.5 million, and then he took out another 1.5 million in cash, making a total investment of 3 million. It's not that they didn't want to invest more, it was mainly because the interests of various parties were not balanced.
When Xu Kun arrived at Huayi with Lao Chen and Bao Qiang, Cai Yinong from Tang Dynasty and Gan Min representing LeTV were talking and laughing in the hall.
After seeing Xu Kun, the two of them came up to him in unison. Cai Yinong was the first to complain: "Director Xu, you have to take more care of us in the future. This honest man can't be bullied all the time, right?"
With Cai Yinong's shrewdness, he had naturally figured out the causes and consequences of "To Youth" by this time, and was naturally very dissatisfied with Yang Mi's actions.
But besides being dissatisfied, she also has some appreciation for Yang Mi.
As the saying goes, if a person is not ruthless, he cannot stand firmly. Liu Shishi is good at everything else, but he lacks the unscrupulous ambition.
It's a pity that Rong Xinda is ready to reuse Yang Mi, otherwise she really wants to bring Yang Mi to Tangren to complement Liu Shishi.
"How can this involve me?"
Xu Kun spread his hands speechlessly and said: "The things between the little sisters..."
As he was speaking, he suddenly noticed that Cai Yinong's face darkened and he looked behind him as if he was about to breathe fire.
Xu Kun looked back in confusion and saw Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli walking in side by side. They didn't seem to notice the people here. The mother and daughter were still whispering to each other with frowning faces.
Xu Kun didn't find anything strange about the Liu family's mother and daughter appearing in Huayi.
The latest breakthrough in Sun Donghai's case actually didn't make too much noise. During the tenth anniversary celebration, the real big news in the entertainment industry was the official announcement of "The King of Kung Fu".
Cheng Long + Li Lienjie, the king combination with the new generation of mainland beauty Liu Yifei, Hollywood and Huayi have joined forces again after "Big Shot".
As soon as the news was released, it caused a sensation on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places. Especially countless movie fans who like action movies are eagerly awaiting it.
Now that Liu Yifei is appearing in Huayi, it goes without saying that it must be related to "The King of Kung Fu".
But what makes Xu Kun wonder is that she has to star in the heroine of "The King of Kung Fu". Why are the mother and daughter still looking sad?
According to what he knew about Aunt Liu, if she could be associated with Hollywood, this woman should have her nose turned up to the sky.
At this time, Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei finally noticed the people in the center of the hall. Liu Xiaoli's originally unattractive face suddenly became colder. She was muttering something and pulling her daughter away from them.
During this process, Liu Yifei kept her head down the whole time, as if she had just lost a battle.
Seeing the two of them entering the elevator, Cai Yinong withdrew his gaze and looked at Xu Kun: "Has the heroine of "The King of Kung Fu" been replaced?"
"Probably not?"
Xu Kun wasn't too sure. Although it was a bit unreasonable to change the heroine as soon as the heroine was announced, it seemed quite reasonable considering Chen Shu's experience.
But with Liu Yifei's image being so distinct, the film crew should have already considered whether it would be suitable for her to star in "The King of Kung Fu".
"Instead of asking me, you might as well ask the two Mr. Wang."
Xu Kun said, calling everyone to go to the other elevator.
At this time, Gan Min said to Xu Kun: "Brother Liu and Director Teng want to give a crash course in acting. They will train from the beginning of August to September and a half, and then directly let the actors join the group. I will send Tianshang Zhixi to see them." Do you have any acting talent?”
"Is this necessary?" Xu Kun asked doubtfully: "The performance style of Korean TV dramas is different from ours. Don't make it incompatible in the end."
"Don't worry, just follow along and lay the foundation. In fact, SM also teaches them, but it's not that professional. This is also a popular routine in Korea, and I also followed it."
"Since you think there is no problem, then do as you wish - anyway, there is a song "Chinese", which is enough for them to eat for several years."
While talking, the elevator reached the sub-top floor.
Xu Kun walked out first and saw Wang Zhongjun who was talking to Aunt Liu at the end of the corridor, and Liu Yifei who was leaning against the wall and feeling depressed.
Isn't it really possible that the role has been changed?
"Kun'er!"
At this time, Wang Zhonglei came over with a smile on his face, and then greeted Cai Yinong, Gan Min, Chen Xuebin, and Wang Baoqiang one by one.
"I'm sorry."
Finally, he emphatically said to Cai Yinong and Gan Min: "I'm so busy today, I really can't get out of it, so I'll wait for you two."
Cai Yinong smiled slightly, pointed at Xu Kun and said, "Isn't it grand enough to have Xu Guan appear?"
"Yes, yes, our Xu Guan's appearance is much more grand than an idler like me."
Wang Zhonglei laughed and led everyone directly into the conference room.
As soon as he sat down, Cai Yinong couldn't help but ask: "What's going on with Liu Yifei and her mother? I see that both of them look depressed. Could it be that the roles in "The King of Kung Fu" have changed?"
"That's not true."
When mentioning this matter, Wang Zhonglei looked gloating: "It has nothing to do with "The King of Kung Fu". In fact, Chen Jinfei was arrested by the police the night before yesterday."
"Huh?"
No one expected this to be the case.
Xu Kun asked: "What's going on? Isn't that Chen Jinfei very energetic?"
“I said I was targeted since the beginning of the year.”
Wang Zhonglei said: "As a result, we are secretly investigating. On July 1, a case suddenly broke out on Hong Kong Island, involving Chen Jinfei..."
As he spoke, he clapped his hands and said, "Isn't this just the point of the gun?"
The case that broke out on Hong Kong Island on July 1?
It couldn't be one of the two cases that he had brought out, right?
This is really killing a rabbit and killing two birds with one stone.
Xu Kun was murmuring, and Wang Zhonglei sat next to him and whispered: "What do you mean, you are not attracted to this mother and daughter, are you?"
"What the hell."
Xu Kun said speechlessly: "It was obviously Cai Yinong who asked first, so how come you are interested in me?"
"Haha, it's nothing interesting. There will be plenty of opportunities for her to join Huayi in the future."
Wang Zhonglei said, his expression became more serious: "But please don't act recklessly recently. Now that her backer has fallen, it is a good opportunity to sign her - my eldest brother has been eyeing this cash cow for a long time."
In 2007, Liu Yifei was indeed unrivaled among actresses born in the 1980s. Even Fan Bingbing, who was among the top four female actors, was far behind her in terms of audience popularity.
That is to say, Chen Jinfei is not allowed to accept the role easily, otherwise she will be busy all year round, turning into a money printing machine running at full capacity.
Therefore, it is not unusual for the Wang brothers to covet her.
"Then what are you two doing here today?"
"Aren't you worried that you will be replaced if you don't have a backer? My elder brother is comforting you."
While he was talking, Wang Zhongjun opened the door and walked in, followed by several other shareholders of "Operation Kunpeng".
[Note: Chen actually entered in April, but for the sake of the plot, let’s just treat it as a butterfly effect. 】
