Chapter 417: Suffering for others
Wait until you get back to your office.
Liu Yifei complained to her mother with some dissatisfaction: "Mom, didn't we agree to ease the relationship with Director Xu? Why do you have such a sullen face when you enter the door?"
If she hadn't discovered something was wrong with her mother, she wouldn't have left in such a hurry.
Liu Yifei had never lost her little girl temper in the past, but this was the first time she questioned Liu Xiaoli like this.
Liu Xiaoli had difficulty adapting for a moment, and her face immediately darkened, and she argued: "Sissi, didn't you see what was on his table? This kind of man should stay as far away as possible!"
"That should be a DVD record, right?"
As a singer who has released records, Liu Yifei naturally knows more about this aspect than her mother: "Looking at the style, it should be a girl group from Korea - Director Xu has always been very close to Koreans. Isn't this strange? ?”
"This..."
When her daughter said this, Liu Xiaoli also realized that she seemed to have preconceived ideas, but she was unwilling to admit her mistake so easily, and finally said with a straight face: "Anyway, just listen to me, and try to stay away from him in the future!"< br>
"Then who should we approach in Huayi?!"
Seeing her mother being unreasonable, Liu Yifei became a little angry and asked with a straight face: "Is it the two Mr. Wang or Director Feng?"
"This..."
Liu Xiaoli was stuck again. Needless to say, Wang Zhonglei, although Mr. Wang didn't have that much fun, it was rumored that he would use female celebrities as waitresses to open up relationships with higher-ups.
As for Feng Xiaogang...
It was not a fuel-efficient lamp. The most important thing was that vitiligo was now serious. Liu Xiaoli was extremely repulsed by the thought of approaching him.
"Then, let's not rely on anyone!"
After saying this, Liu Xiaoli herself felt that she had no confidence.
Liu Yifei shook her head helplessly. In fact, ever since she saw her mother's 'apology' that day, she had the idea of reliance on her own.
After considering the opinions of her friends in the industry [Shu Chang, Hu Ge, Zhang Liangying], she finally chose the lesser of the four evils, and prepared to take the initiative to ease the relationship with Director Xu first.
But my mother...
Forget it, just take it one step at a time.
Liu Yifei was not a proactive person to begin with. It was difficult for her to muster the courage to socialize, but her own mother jumped out to make trouble. The fighting spirit in her heart suddenly disappeared.
…………
other side.
After the Liu family's mother and daughter left, Xu Kun quickly received a call from Feng Xiaogang, so he rushed to the fifth floor again.
When I got out of the elevator, I saw four women talking together. Three of them were familiar faces, namely Feng Xiaogang's wife Xu Fan, Chen Kaige's wife Chen Hong, and Zhang Ziyi, whom I had met several times before.
It's normal for Xu Fan to appear here, but Chen Hong...
"Sister Fan, what are you doing?"
"It happened by chance."
Xu Fan explained with a smile: "Chen Hong accompanied Director Chen to come to Director Chen to discuss the script - haha, in this way, it's all my own."
As she said that, she couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.
"We are also from the same family."
Xu Kun turned to Chen Hong and asked curiously: "What masterpiece has Director Chen fallen in love with again?"
"Not really a masterpiece."
Chen Hong's attitude was a little cold, and he unconsciously raised his hand to straighten his collar before continuing: "It's an autobiographical film by Master Mei Lanfang. The estimated investment is 100 million, which is similar to your movie."
If not for Director Chen's reputation, he would have spent 100 million to make this kind of literary film.
Ignoring Chen Hong's vague hostility, Xu Kun turned to Zhang Ziyi: "What about you, Ziyi?"
"I acted opposite Sister Chen Hong in the movie." In contrast, Jiujiazhang's attitude was much more enthusiastic. He smiled and said: "I have nothing to do anyway, so I just followed Sister Chen Hong to do some tricks." As he said that, he thought He went to grab Chen Hong's arm, but was avoided by Chen Hong without leaving a trace.
As a well-known stamp collector in the circle, it is completely normal for Zhang Ziyi not to want Chen Hong to see her.
However, compared to Zhang Jingchu later, the dislike Zhang Ziyi received was nothing. After all, the latter not only wanted to collect stamps, but also wanted to be in a high position.
However, Zhang Ziyi did not feel any embarrassment at being disliked by Chen Hong. She smoothed the strands of hair around her ears and said with a smile: "I have been fortunate enough to work with so many great directors, but I have never worked with anyone younger than me - —Director Xu, if you have a suitable role in the future, you must leave it to me.”
Zhang Ziyi was born in 1979, only one year older than Xu Kun, but the resources she has gained over the years are far ahead of the female stars of the same age group, even Megatron and Zhou Xun are slightly behind.
"Then I may have to work hard for a few more years."
Xu Kun smiled and said: "Otherwise, wouldn't it break your rule of only working with great directors?"
Zhang Ziyi covered her mouth and smiled sweetly: "Director Xu, you are so humble. You are now recognized as a great director in China."
"It also depends on who you compare with."
This was originally what Xu Kun wanted to say, but Chen Hong said it first.
After Chen Hong said this, he obviously regretted it. Although Xu Kun was still a few blocks behind Chen Kaige and Feng Xiaogang, it was still inappropriate to say this in person.
But it was impossible for her to take her words back, so she nodded slightly to Xu Fan and said, "I'm going to see if our conversation is over."
With that said, he walked directly to Deputy Chen's office.
Zhang Ziyi bowed slightly to Xu Fan and Xu Kun, and followed them hurriedly.
At this time, a small white hand reached out in front of him, but it was a face he had never seen before.
"Hello, Director Xu, my name is Qi Min. I particularly like the character Meng Hao you played in "The Boss" - among the TV series that followed the trend this year, none of them are as domineering as you!"
The girl blinked her big eyes, as if a fan had met her idol.
[Note: Qi Min’s ‘prettier’ pictures couldn’t pass the review, so I could only post a mug shot. 】
Xu Fan helped introduce: "This is my cousin's niece. She participated in the talent show last year and made her debut as a male and female singer group."
My cousin's niece is a distant relative who is not related by blood. No wonder Xu Fan's attitude is not very close to her.
Xu Kun shook hands with Qi Min and asked with a smile: "Are you going to sign a contract with Huayi?"
"No, I just came to see the world."
Qi Min said excitedly: "I didn't expect to see Director Chen here. My favorite movie is Farewell My Concubine!"
Xu Kun liked it very much at first, but after hearing Aunt Lu explain the chaotic relationships in the crew, he couldn't get into "Farewell My Concubine" again.
This is not Farewell My Concubine, it is clearly poking holes in the rabbit's nest.
I wonder if the girl in front of me will still admire Director Chen so much after learning the truth.
"Okay."
Xu Fan interrupted Qi Min's infatuation and said to Xu Kun: "Old Feng is waiting for you in the office. Come on, don't keep him waiting."
So the three of them walked to Feng Xiaogang's office together.
When passing by Deputy Chen's office, Qi Min couldn't help but crane his neck to look inside. Xu Kun also glanced sideways, but of course he didn't look at anything.
When he looked back, Xu Kun suddenly noticed that Qi Min had lowered his head slightly and was staring at a peach-like bulge in front of him with bright eyes.
Uh~
It seems that there is a reason why she likes "Farewell My Concubine" the most.
Xu Kun was complaining secretly, Xu Fan stopped, turned around and glared at him angrily, and said: "You can go there by yourself, I suddenly remembered something else."
Xu Kun agreed, and then he was shocked to realize that he seemed to have suffered for someone else.
