Chapter 418 Something unexpected happened yesterday
[I even forgot to write a request for leave, I’m so sorry...]
After being raised at home for half a year, Feng Xiaogang was obviously fatter than at the beginning of the year, and his complexion was also good. However, his vitiligo seemed to have not improved, but was getting worse.
With my current energy, I can act in a horror movie without makeup at night.
However, Xu Kun shook his head and sighed when he entered the door. When Feng Xiaogang saw him, he couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong with you?"
"The little girl nowadays is really..."
Xu Kun pouted outside and briefly described what had just happened. Finally, he said speechlessly: "Sister Xu Fan probably misunderstood. You have to explain it to me later, otherwise I will die unjustly."
This kind of matter must be clarified in time, otherwise Xu Fan will turn around and blow the pillow wind, and he will be blamed for nothing.
Feng Xiaogang laughed loudly after hearing this, and it was obvious that he didn't take this matter to heart at all.
Firstly, there are so many things like this in the industry that it has become normal; secondly, many men don’t care that much about Lily, at least not as disgusted and repulsive as they are towards gays.
After laughing, Feng Xiaogang asked about the preparations for "Operation Kunpeng". After all, he still had the title of producer. Even if he didn't plan to actually participate in the filming, he still had to ask about it when they met.
Xu Kun briefly summarized it and then said: "Thanks to Uncle Feng for reminding me in the first place, otherwise things would not have gone so smoothly."
"I didn't expect that things would become so big."
Feng Xiaogang couldn't help but sigh a little when he heard this. When he gave Xu Kun the idea to go to Thailand to give it a try, he never thought that a movie could become a bridge to break the ice between the two countries.
Although it was just a gimmick and there was no indication of what Xu Kun could do, with this gimmick, the crew could avoid a lot of trouble during filming in Thailand.
After a pause, Feng Xiaogang asked again: "When will the listing ceremony be held?"
"September 9th."
Xu Kun explained: "Thai people believe that the most auspicious number is 9, and 678 is an unlucky number, so we chose September 9 to list it."
"September 9..."
Feng Xiaogang thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, I'll go there two days early, just in time to see how you arranged it."
After talking about business, the two started chatting.
Talking about the episode that happened when signing the contract a few days ago, Director Feng was not surprised by Liu Xiaoli's performance.
"Why do people say that famous people have a lot of right and wrong? In fact, it's not just because celebrities are easy to be in trouble once they become famous. Those relatives and friends around them who are fake and powerful are the ones who are most likely to cause trouble."
Xu Kun agrees with this argument, but when it comes to Liu Xiaoli herself - Aunt Liu's arrogance should not be because her daughter is famous, but because she has such a temperament.
The two of them talked and talked about the stock market again.
There's no way around it, July's storm is so strong that no one can avoid it when chatting with me now.
At this time, there was a knock on the door suddenly, and then Xu Fan opened the door and came in and greeted: "Old Feng, Chen Kaige is leaving, shall we..."
Feng Xiaogang was excitedly analyzing how far the bull market could go. When he heard these words, his face immediately fell and he muttered angrily: "You are coming to my territory, and I have to take the initiative to see him, so you can show off his face." Big, right?”
Xu Kun nodded seriously at the side: "Don't tell me, Director Chen's face is indeed quite big."
Feng Xiaogang laughed "haha" when he heard this, and then said helplessly: "Let's go over and have a look, who made the movie "Farewell My Concubine"."
Although in terms of public recognition, Feng Xiaogang has been far greater than Chen Kaige in recent years, but in terms of status in the circle, he is still a head lower than Chen Kaige.
This is the same reason that sixth-generation directors look down on Xu Kun.
To put it bluntly, the mentality of worshiping foreigners and favoring foreigners is still at work in the circle. If you win an award from a foreigner, you will be a head above others. Even if it is a colonial award or a reactionary award, you will feel that you are half a head above others.
When they came out of the office, Qi Min was gone. Chen Kaige was talking to Deputy Chen Guo and Wang Zhonglei in the corridor.
Poet Chen still had that "magnificent" attitude of pointing out the country with his chest raised and his belly folded. He had seen Feng Xiaogang and Xu Kun early in the morning, but he still had to wait until Feng Xiaogang took the initiative to speak before he turned his attention. Although Feng Xiaogang was unhappy, he still showed his usual humble posture and took the initiative to hold Chen Kaige's hand with both hands: "You didn't even say a word when you came. If Xu Fan hadn't reminded you just now, I wouldn't have known about it."
No one has the ability to tell lies in person.
Xu Kun was also busy patting his head and saying: "It's my fault too. Sister Xu Fan thought I would tell you, but when she came in and started talking about movies, she forgot everything."
Chen Kaige didn't react much, probably because he had seen this slogan too many times.
On the other hand, Chen Hong beside him couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Zhang Ziyi covered her mouth and smiled softly, becoming a perfect background decoration.
The group of people sent Chen Kaige out of Huayi's gate like stars holding the moon in their arms. During this period, Chen Kaige kept chatting with Feng Xiaogang and Deputy Chen Guo, and occasionally met Wang Zhonglei, but ignored Xu Kun at all.
But Xu Kun has long been used to it.
When he was filming "Yahoo Star Search", Chen Kaige looked arrogant and full of hostility and rejection towards Xu Kun, a rising star who had made more than 100 million yuan with him.
After sending Chen Kaige away, Feng Xiaogang complained to Wang Zhonglei in front of Deputy Chen Guo: "Our company has a good book, please inform me first, what's the point of looking for an outsider?"
This is obviously scolding the bald man in front of the monk.
Wang Zhonglei cooperated and spread his hands: "I only found out later - Lao Chen, this matter..."
The thin man Chen Guofu pushed up his glasses, shook his head and said: "This book belongs to Yan Geling. Zhang Jialu and I just helped to correct it - if Yan Geling hadn't been in Magic City, Director Chen wouldn't have directly Find me.”
When it comes to this, Feng Xiaogang can't find anything to choose from.
So everyone bustled back to the fifth floor. Deputy Chen Guo went back to his office, and Wang Zhonglei followed Feng Xiaogang.
Then the three of them complained about Director Chen.
Near noon, Wang Zhonglei wanted to host the two of them for dinner, but Xu Fan quickly stopped him, saying that Feng Xiaogang was still undergoing treatment and could not eat spicy food such as heavy oil or spicy food, let alone drink alcohol.
As a result, Xiaogangpao became angry, slapped the table and yelled a few words, complaining that Xu Fan was in charge of the world, and said that living like this was boring, and he might as well kick his legs to death.
Xu Kun and Wang Zhonglei hurriedly reconciled the situation, and finally chose a home-cooked vegetarian dish, which finally settled the matter.
It was probably because of what Feng Xiaogang said on the way. During the dinner, Xu Fan offered a toast to Xu Kun with tea instead of wine, and said helplessly: "I'm sorry, Xiao Xu, I didn't expect that... Oh, I really don't know what the little girl is like now." Think about it!”
Xu Kun also raised his glass and said with a smile: "Maybe the girls in the band are more avant-garde."
Wang Zhonglei asked curiously: "What is the little girl in the band? Is she that Tianshang Zhixi of yours?"
"It has nothing to do with you."
Feng Xiaogang changed the topic and said: "Since Yan Geling's book can be picked up by Chen Mantou, there must be something unique about it. You can help me keep an eye on it in the future. If there is a good one, we can get it in advance to avoid giving others advantages in vain."< br>
In the past two years, Director Chen has been known as a "dictator" and has always wanted to write and direct his own films. There must be some reason why he is now interested in Yan Geling's book.
"I haven't had much contact with this before..."
Wang Zhonglei smacked his lips and said: "I'll try my best. I'll contact you first and try to build a relationship first."
"How about I find a chance to meet you."
Xu Fan also said: "I heard that she was in the art troupe before, so we should be able to chat together."
Unlike Director Chen, Feng Xiaogang still attaches great importance to the script at this stage. After all, he has worked with Wang Shuo before.
This scene also solidified Xu Kun's idea of hoarding scripts.
Especially some science fiction-themed scripts, or scripts that require special effects and big scenes, cannot be filmed or sold at high prices now. It is just a good idea to buy the adaptation rights in advance and hoard them, so that they can be used when the box office explodes in the future.
