Chapter 138 He is just lusting after my body!
Strictly speaking, Xu Kong’s Weibo does have some problems.
Because from the core point of view, Fairy Sword is definitely a type of ancient puppet show.
But if you look carefully and seriously, it seems that there is no big problem with this statement.
Because Xu Kong himself knows that the Fairy Sword he filmed is completely different from almost all ancient puppet dramas in China.
To be more specific, only Fairy Sword can be regarded as an ancient puppet drama, and those currently on the market cannot be called qualified ancient puppet dramas.
But publicity is just a gimmick.
As for whether the audience will recognize Xu Kong's remarks, they have to wait until the show is officially aired.
After Xu Kong responded, there was indeed a lot of discussion on the Internet.
Including Yiguo, many film and television self-media or film critics have begun to analyze what Xu Kong's so-called "Xianxia drama" is.
This was indeed a term that had never appeared before.
If you only look at the superficial meaning, it seems that some ancient puppet shows in the past can also be called fairy tales. After all, the time setting and so on are definitely different from traditional martial arts.
But currently there is only a simple promotional video, and it seems that there is really no way to completely define it.
Some expressed their expectation for the "Xianxia Drama" that Xu Kong mentioned, while others disdainfully thought that the Xianxia Drama that Xu Kong mentioned was just a meaningless gimmick.
January 3rd was Xu Kong's last day in the capital.
After a few days of rest and taking care of some things in my studio, I was finally ready to return to the Fairy Sword crew.
"If it can be completed within this month, it will be much faster than I predicted."
In the artist department, Zhu Yu said while watering the potted plants in her office.
"But according to your request, the special effects team I contacted before is not sure whether it can meet your request."
When Zhu Yu just came back from vacation, she first found Xu Kong who hadn't left yet.
"It's okay. Let's try it first. If it doesn't work, we can contact other special effects companies from outside."
Xu Kong didn't pay too much attention.
In the final analysis, although he attaches great importance to the special effects of Fairy Sword, it is enough with the current domestic industrial level.
As long as there are no problems with the plot, everything is still under control.
However, it seems that the follow-up budget is quite sufficient at present. If it is not possible, some of the follow-up publicity expenses will be reduced and allocated to production.
"I didn't expect that Penguin Video would have already contacted me before your drama was finished."
Although Zhu Yu is resting, she will also pay attention to the news on the Internet when she has nothing to do.
I have to say that the trailer for Fairy Sword at the New Year's Eve party was surprisingly popular.
Putting aside the various controversies, whether it is positive or negative, the show has definitely gained a lot of attention.
Otherwise, there will be no active contact from Penguin Video.
The last time "Want to See You" was aired, Xu Kong collaborated with Penguin Video. Overall, Xu Kong was quite satisfied.
Although the other party seems to be adapting to the situation.
If it weren't for Xu Kong's early release of a few songs to boost the show's popularity, Penguin Video wouldn't have been prepared to provide good publicity resources.
But other than this, Penguin’s various subsequent marketing and decisions are still in place.
Therefore, Xu Kong does not exclude the possibility of cooperating with Penguin Video again.
But after all, Xu Kong is no longer a complete newcomer.
Naturally, it is impossible to sell the copyright to them easily.
"The film and television department said that you have certain decision-making power over the copyright of Fairy Sword. Your opinions will be taken into consideration as to which platform to cooperate with and who to negotiate with first."
Zhu Yu said.
In fact, he was a little surprised. After all, Zhu Yu, the manager of the artist department, didn't actually know the agreement between Xu Kong and Feng Ge.
Xu Kong also accounted for half of the final profit from the fairy sword.
"I understand, but it's too early to talk about this now. The drama is still finished."
Xu Kong nodded and said.
"The person in charge at Penguin means the same thing."
"I just said that I hope they can give priority to the copyright of your drama in the future. I didn't mention any specific copyright fee quotation."
Zhu Yu explained.
In her opinion, there are many cases where the rights to Feng Ge are sold even before filming is completed.
But it is indeed rare for a newcomer like Xu Kong to actively contact a large platform like Penguin Video.
Even though Xu Kong's "Want to See You" has been successful once before, according to the nature of these platforms, they will maintain a wait-and-see attitude until the film is released.
"By the way, New Year's gift."
After talking about the business, Xu Kong suddenly thought of something, and then put the paper bag he brought on Zhu Yu's table.
In fact, Zhu Yu had noticed what Xu Kong was holding as early as when he arrived.
At this time, when Xu Kong said that this was a gift for her, Zhu Yu became obviously panicked.
"No, no need!"
"What you gave me before is enough"
"No, I meant thank you, but you really don't need to."
Seeing Zhu Yu who was obviously in a panic, Xu Kong didn't react this time.
Mainly because he had prepared gifts for some friends he knew.
People like Song Youyou, Su Zhi, even Shang Yuxin, and Guo Zihao from his own studio.
Then he remembered that Zhu Yu had really misunderstood this time.
After Zhu Yu finished speaking, she found that Xu Kong did not respond.
Instead, he took out the gift box in the paper bag and opened it directly in front of her.
No, how could you bring something like that out casually on such an occasion?
Zhu Yu was a little anxious and wanted to stop him.
But it was obviously too late.
I saw Xu Kong taking out a black cylindrical object from the box.
"What are you thinking about."
"Telescopic trekking pole! Sister Yu, don't you like camping during holidays?"
"But if you want to change it to the previous gift, that's not impossible. I saw that the store had quite a lot of toys."
Zhu Yu couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xu Kong put away the hiking pole and showed it.
But when he heard Xu Kong's words later, his face immediately turned red.
He quickly signaled the other party to stop talking.
"The trekking poles are very good! No need to change anything else."
After talking about it, Zhu Yu's voice became smaller and smaller, and then she quickly stood up and snatched the hiking pole from Xu Kong's hand.
However, even though the misunderstanding caused an awkward atmosphere, Zhu Yu quickly restored her original rationality and decency.
"It's true that I didn't think carefully. You gave me gifts. You gave me gifts twice."
"Is there anything you want? I can return the favor."
Mainly because the gift Xu Kong gave her last time was really too abnormal.
Otherwise, with Zhu Yu's temperament, it would be impossible for him to not even consider returning the gift.
"A gift?"
After hearing Zhu Yu's words, Xu Kong really didn't think about it.
The main reason is that based on her current conditions, there is indeed nothing particularly lacking.
He also doesn't have any hobbies similar to camping like Zhu Yu. If you really want something
Zhu Yu stared at Xu Kong seriously, hoping to get an answer from him.
She first saw Xu Kong lost in thought as he muttered, and then suddenly and slowly raised his head, his eyes locked on her.
Then Xu Kong stared at her closely for a long time.
No matter how dull Zhu Yu was, she understood what the other party meant at this moment.
The gift Xu Kong wants cannot be me, right?
Thinking of this, she instantly made a cute gesture of crossing her arms like she did last time.
"Dah!"
"This won't work!"
Zhu Yu originally hoped that she had misunderstood or thought wrong this time.
Xu Kong's proactive explanation can be heard.
But unexpectedly, Xu Kong did not deny it in any way.
Instead, his expression was obviously disappointed.
Then he said: "No more."
"Sister Yu, just watch and send it off."
Now Zhu Yu didn't know what to say at all.
Including that she had always felt that she had misunderstood Xu Kong's intention of giving her that kind of gift.
After all, the explanation given by the other party at that time was indeed sound and convincing, and Zhu Yu was convinced that she was too conservative and could not keep up with the thinking of today's young people.
The result is finally discovered now.
This guy Xu Kong did it on purpose, he was just coveting my body!
If it were anyone else, or if she had just met Xu Kong before, Zhu Yu would probably have warned her with a serious expression.
But now, for some reason, Zhu Yu found that when she heard Xu Kong's suggestion just now, not only did she not feel any disgust, but she was even secretly happy.
Zhu Yu, Zhu Yu, you are really crazy!
Seeing that Zhu Yu was completely distracted at this time, she didn't know what she was thinking.
Xu Kong also knew the truth behind the point, so he took the initiative to say goodbye and left.
"Click!"
"Do it again!"
Xu Kong, who was dressed in ancient costume, suddenly put away his cynical expression and couldn't help frowning and shouting loudly.
It has been three days since the crew returned to Fairy Sword and resumed filming.
According to Xu Kong's plan, the remaining scenes can be completely shot in half a month at most, and the entire drama is completed.
But unexpectedly, the filming for the first period of time after returning did not go very smoothly.
There were no accidents, and his and Song Youyou's status were not affected by the New Year's Eve party. Even Song Youyou's subsequent performance became more and more smooth, and his acting skills were even better than during the previous filming.
What Xu Kong didn't expect at all was that it was Shang Yuxin who had the most experience.
The other party's performance in the previous shooting was almost impossible for Xu Kong to find any fault with.
It can almost be said that he is completely devoted to the role of Lin Yueru.
Who would have thought that after returning from Beijing TV's New Year's Eve party, the other party would get distracted from time to time every time he was filming a scene opposite me.
The state was so bad that there were even more scenes in one scene than in the previous long shooting.
"Sorry."
"It's my problem."
Shang Yuxin apologized to Xu Kong and other staff and actors on the set with a full face.
"Take a short break and we'll start again later."
Xu Kong sighed helplessly. Although his expression was serious, he still saved face for Shang Yuxin in the end.
There was no direct accusation or abuse like other directors.
Because he also guessed something. Shang Yuxin's condition after returning may have something to do with him
Shang Yuxin was also a little irritable at the moment.
She also didn't expect that her performance after returning would be so poor.
The key is that she doesn't know why, even when filming, when she sees Xu Kong now, she can't help but think of what happened that day.
The whole person couldn't concentrate at all, and even had a physiological reaction because of it.
This kind of thing was embarrassing enough for her just thinking about it.
Whether he can be of some use, he even just used his hands.
But just using my hands, why is it so comfortable
"Are you okay?"
Xu Kong's voice suddenly came, which startled Shang Yuxin.
"I'm fine, thank you, Director Xu."
Shang Yuxin sorted out her emotions before answering with a smile.
Xu Kong hesitated for a while and then took the initiative to get closer.
Shang Yuxin looked at Xu Kong's face getting closer and closer to her, and she was struggling in her heart. Finally, she closed her eyes, looking like she was letting him take whatever he wanted.
But what surprised her was that Xu Kong just came close to her ear and whispered:
"If it's because of what happened that day, I apologize to you."
"But don't worry, as long as you don't do anything wrong in the future, I promise you won't do anything random."
Xu Kong thought that Shang Green Tea still needed to be calmed down a little.
Otherwise, if it keeps like this, will the next series be filmed?
The main reason was that he had been teased many times by the other party at that time. Xu Kong couldn't bear it anymore and gave him a lesson.
Unexpectedly, this lesson seemed to go too far.
Shang Yuxin's mood went through a roller coaster-like change in just a few seconds.
From the panic at the beginning, to the calm acceptance and even a little bit of joy later.
In the end, when she discovered that Xu Kong was just talking into her ear, she felt a little disappointed.
"Don't worry, Director Xu, I will definitely not affect the subsequent shooting."
“However, it may still require a little adjustment for a while.”
Shang Yuxin promised with a serious expression.
On the contrary, Xu Kong was a little uncomfortable at the moment.
He himself didn't expect that just one lesson would have such an obvious effect.
Shang Green Tea seemed to be a completely different person.
To be honest, even Xu Kong didn't know what to say anymore.
"Okay, you take a rest first, and we'll try it again later."
Xu Kong didn't know if his words had any effect, but after adjustments, Shang Yuxin's condition really improved a lot.
Although there are still ng situations, the distractions and mistakes are no longer as frequent as before.
"Okay, let's stay here for today."
As the sky gradually darkened, Xu Kong also asked the entire crew to call it a day.
In the entire drama "Sword of Immortals", in addition to the three starring roles of Xu Kong, Song Youyou, and Shang Yuxin, there are also many supporting roles.
In the next few days, Xu Kong himself did not take any pictures.
But as a director, you definitely still need to be there.
A few days later, one of the leading actors, Shang Yuxin's character Lin Yueru, had her final scene.
