Chapter 412 The fox pretends to be the tiger's power
As expected.
Shortly after the signing ceremony, a lot of half-truths and half-false news appeared on the market. However, unlike the previous ones that mainly targeted Liu Yifei, this time the target of the fire became Liu Xiaoli.
Zhu Yawen seems to be involved.
However, Xu Kun no longer paid attention to this matter. After all, the Liu family's mother and daughter could only be regarded as passers-by in his life, similar to the special guest roles.
At this stage, Xu Kun's main focus is on deducing the lines and actions of the script, and applying for film subsidies.
Originally, he was not so anxious about film subsidies. After all, there was not much money. The real benefit was that after receiving national support, he could enjoy various hidden benefits during the filming and screening process. Sexual benefits.
And "Operation Kunpeng" will not be officially launched until next spring.
But since dealing with Zhao Wenzhuo's complaints and dissatisfaction, Xu Kun has raised the priority of applying for the support fund, and every time he goes to 'run the department to make money', he has to pull in one or two A starring role.
Most of the time it is Sun Honglei or Zhao Wenzhuo, and occasionally Wu Jing and Yang Junyi are brought along - to put it bluntly, I just want them to know that there is "someone on top" of the crew, so as to avoid any trouble at the critical moment.
The effect is quite remarkable.
After two trips to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Sun Honglei changed his title from ‘Kun’er’ to Director Xu, and Zhao Wenzhuo’s attitude became even more visibly humble.
But this morning.
Xu Kun was leading several leading actors to read their lines when he suddenly received a call from Gao Qunshu.
This made Xu Kun somewhat surprised.
Because last year after the box office hit of "On the Road", he had less contact with Gao Qunshu, and they only sent text messages during the holidays.
It is said that if you are poor in the busy city and no one cares about you, and if you are rich in the mountains and have distant relatives, this theory is not entirely correct - many people will actively alienate you after you become rich.
This is the case for Gao Qunshu. It is probably because the sudden reversal of status between the two parties made it difficult for Lao Gao to adapt, so he has not had much contact with him for more than a year.
"Kun'er."
After answering the phone, Gao Qunshu said: "What have you been busy with recently? Come out and get together at noon."
It was supposed to be very relaxed, but it felt inexplicably cold and hard.
Xu Kun could even imagine Gao Qunshu gritting his teeth and making a rough draft before making the call.
"Director Gao, if you call me, you have to have time even if you don't have time - let's do this, let's meet in that restaurant for the first time that year, and I'll treat you this time."
" No, no, no, I’ll invite you, I’ll invite you.”
The two parties made an appointment to meet at 11:30 noon, and Gao Qunshu hung up the phone with relief.
Xu Kun thought about taking Sun Honglei with him, but according to Gao Qunshu's intention, it seemed that he had something to ask him. In order to avoid it being difficult for him to speak in front of Sun Honglei, Xu Kun finally chose to go to the meeting alone.
When they arrived at the place, Xu Kun looked around and ran around, but he couldn't find the small restaurant back then.
It is estimated that it has closed down.
Fortunately, he didn't find a restaurant, but found Gao Qunshu with a question mark on his forehead.
When the two of them came together, Gao Qunshu couldn't help but sigh: "The changes in Beijing have been really great in the past few years."
"The changes will be bigger next year."
Xu Kun smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if the changes are big, as long as they get better and better."
The two found a small restaurant nearby.
After entering the private room, Xu Kun took off his mask and wiped the sweat off his face before calling the waiter to order.
Gao Qunshu now also found his original feeling and said with a smile: "It seems that becoming a big star is not all a good thing."
"No matter what, it's better than before when I was too poor to afford air conditioning."
Xu Kun smiled and said: "Director Gao, we haven't seen each other for a year and a half, right?"
"Almost .”
Gao Qunshu After thinking for a while, he said: "The last time we met was at the end of 2005, when you were delivering food to your family - I was not at home at the end of last year, so we didn't see each other."
The two sides chatted with each other for a while. Each other's situation for more than a year.
Last year, Gao Qunshu made a documentary called "Tokyo Trial", which gained some limelight in China. This year, he plans to continue his efforts and make a movie based on the serial bombing and blackmail case. And Gao Qunshu came to Xu Kun precisely for this new movie.
“Do you want me to play a guest role?”
Xu Kun hesitated for a moment, then said happily: “Yes, but the time may have to be compressed. After all, I am also preparing for a new movie recently..."
"No, no, no!"
Gao Qunshu said hurriedly: "Except for the young heroine this time, I want to use ordinary people as the rest of the actors. I have chosen the male lead, who is the deputy director of the police station."
"Then Why are you looking for me?”
Xu Kunxin said, maybe you are looking for me to invest?
Director Gao is also unlucky. You can’t say that he didn’t earn a dime from the best-selling “Conquer”, but he basically got some pocket change.
So it’s not surprising that he’s tight on money.
If it was really because of this, Xu Kun decided to help. After all, he still trusted Gao Qunshu's ability, and even if he lost, he wouldn't lose too much.
But the answer given by Gao Qunshu was far beyond Xu Kun's expectation. He said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, this is the case. This film must be shot in Northeast China. So I want to ask you to lead me to visit Teacher Zhao Benshan.”
“Huh?”
"Isn't it true that people have heard that there is more chaos there."
Gao Qunshu took the initiative to pour a cup of barley tea for Xu Kun and said with a smile: "I heard that Director Feng was filming "Assembly" , just because you didn’t come to the dock in advance, someone poisoned the fruit. In the end, you were the one to win, and you set up a table..."
"Wait, wait!"
Xu Kun quickly stopped him and explained: "That's a misunderstanding. The crew was poisoned because they couldn't wait for snow, so they could only use chemical fertilizers to create the scenery. Then someone got poisoned by accidentally eating chemical fertilizers. The apples sent by my uncle have nothing to do with it.”
“Really?”
Gao Qunshu was skeptical, mainly because he heard this news from more than one person. However, how could this public opinion be fake?
“Can I still lie to you?”
Xu Kun said speechlessly: "It was just a coincidence at that time, so some people made wild guesses that the apples were poisonous, and later it spread out for some reason - I accompanied Director Feng to see Uncle Benshan just to explain this rumor."< br>
“So, it’s a lie for you to be a middle-aged man and serve wine?”
“Of course it’s a lie. "
After Xu Kun finished speaking, seeing Gao Qunshu's disappointed look, he thought for a while and said: "But if you really want to visit a dock, it won't be a problem for me to help you connect. ”
After meeting several times, he became quite familiar with Zhao Benshan, not to mention that Fan Wei was also in the crew.
"That's a good relationship!"
Gao Qunshu was overjoyed. He started his career in crime dramas, so he naturally paid special attention to this aspect. Even if the poisoning incident was false, other rumors would not It's all fake.
The saying "If you have passed Shanhaiguan, come to me if you have anything to do", when Xu Kun first heard it, it was just a joke, but in the past two years it has become more and more true.
On the one hand, Zhao Benshan's own influence is growing, and on the other hand, more and more people from all walks of life have taken the initiative to invest in his name.
So there is a tendency that "a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth".
After chatting about the main business, the two started chatting all over the world over drinks and food. The main thing they mentioned was the various chaos and vitality in the circle in the past two years.
Gao Qunshu even joked, asking Xu Kun to bring him with him the next time he attends a gathering of sixth-generation directors.
The atmosphere between the two became more and more harmonious, no longer as cold and distant as when they first met.
Until Xu Kun asked casually: "By the way, what has my sister-in-law been doing recently?"
The expression on Gao Qunshu's face was stiff. After a while, he took the initiative to stew for a while. After taking a sip of wine, he sighed helplessly and said: "I don't know, we have been having a cold war recently - I guess we are going to break up this time."
Tsk~
The two have been together for almost four years, but they eventually broke up.
This also makes Xu Kun increasingly distrustful of love in the entertainment industry - it's not that there is no true love in the entertainment industry, but the proportion is too touching, making people afraid to gamble.
