Chapter 483: Calling Father in the Entertainment Industry
Meanwhile, the back door to the theater.
Ning Hao, who was wearing a big gold chain, and Huang Bo, who was wearing a toad mirror, were squatting side by side on the steps in the corner, puffing away smoke.
"Old Huang"
With a sad face, Ning Hao knocked the ashes on the wall and asked depressedly: "How much box office do you think this movie can have?"
"Where do I know where to go?"
Huang Bo raised the cigarette in his hand and said: "It must be higher than "Crazy Racing" anyway."
"I'm crazy!"
Ning Hao angrily tried to push Huang Bo down the steps, and cursed: "Hey, if I had known better, I shouldn't have asked you to be the leading actor!"
"Even if you invite the gods from the sky to be the leading actor, you still can't compare with him." Huang Bo hooked his shoulder with his backhand and persuaded with a smile: "Why are you worrying about this when you have nothing to do? We are three times behind in schedule." The subject matter is also different. No matter how popular Director Xu’s movie is, it will not affect us.”
"Is this what I'm doing for this?"
Ning Hao asked angrily.
Ever since "Crazy Stone" lost to "Journey to the Road" in 2006 and indirectly benefited from "Journey to the Road", Ning Hao has been holding back a lot of energy in his heart, always wanting to prove that he is no better than Xu Kun is poor.
In fact, this is not surprising. After all, he and Xu Kun are three years apart, and they are directors who debuted in the same year and on the same track, so they will inevitably be compared with each other.
Naturally, the result is that Ning Hao is beaten by Xu Kun in all directions - in fact, with its multi-line parallel narrative style, "Crazy Stone" is technically better than "A Man on the Road", but the problem is that Stone has borrowed from other films, although it is still It can’t be said to be plagiarism, but the evaluation has also dropped two or three levels.
Anyone who has done something great and has to endure such critical and belittling people will feel angry.
So when filming "Crazy Racing" this time, Ning Hao's only imaginary enemy was Xu Kun's "Operation Kunpeng".
The result...
"Why else are you worried?"
At this time, Huang Bo lifted his sunglasses to his forehead and locked eyes with Ning Hao, the bastard.
Huang Bo actually knew what Ning Hao was thinking, but he also knew that under the current situation, Ning Hao would be embarrassed to compare "Crazy Racing" and "Operation Kunpeng".
Sure enough, Ning Hao was defeated first after a while, muttering angrily: "I just came here for the extra time. If I don't come, nothing will happen."
After Huang Bo heard this, he stood up and stared at him for a while. Ning Hao stared at him, and then he pretended to nod and said: "Don't tell me, it's like sitting in a well and looking at the sky."
"Get out!"
Ning Hao cursed, pointed to the door not far away and changed the subject: "What's going on over there?"
In fact, Huang Bo also saw just now that a woman with a child was struggling outside the door, but because he was worried about Ning Hao, he didn't take the time to think about it.
Now that Ning Hao took the initiative to bring it up, the two of them got together with the intention of having fun.
When they got closer, they heard the woman begging repeatedly, asking the guard to let her in to see Director Xu.
The morning was for the premiere, and no one would be allowed in before 1:30 p.m., let alone this woman who came up and said she wanted to see Director Xu, how could the guard let her in so easily?
Hearing the woman excitedly express that she and Director Xu had known each other for a long time, and today she just wanted Director Xu to meet her son, Ning Hao stared at the child who was about ten years old for a while, and then arched Huang Bo with his elbow. He said thiefly: "Old Huang, do you think this could be..."
Not only was he thinking wrongly, but Huang Bo was also murmuring in his heart.
After all, it was Director Xu. It was normal to have romantic debts outside. And judging from the age of the child, Director Xu was only eighteen or nineteen years old at that time. It was really normal for someone to die in a moment of youthful vigour.
At this time, the guard was hesitant to speak. He grabbed the walkie-talkie and wanted to say something, while subconsciously looking left and right, and then he met Huang Bo's eyes.
"Black skin?!"
Hearing the doorman call out his most famous role, Huang Bo realized that he had just put his sunglasses on his forehead and forgot to put them back on.
"Brother, do you want an autograph?"
Huang Bo pretended to be cool and shook his hair, and replied with the air of a train station seller, which made the guard happy.
"What?"
After laughing for a while, the guard remembered the problem he was facing and asked hesitantly: "Hei... what, I remember you seem to be a classmate of the big star Jiang Yiyan?"
After all, he was a doorman of a big movie theater, and he knew a lot about the industry. Unfortunately, he just couldn't remember Huang Bo's name.
"Not only Jiang Yiyan, but also Liu Yifei."
Huang Bo understood what the doorman meant. Originally, he would not care about this kind of thing, but thanks to Jiang Yiyan, he could be regarded as receiving some favors from Xu Kun.
So he took the initiative and said to the woman: "Sister, can I ask for your name?"
"My name is Xu Jing!"
The woman hurriedly introduced herself to her family, then pulled her son and said: "This is my son Cai Xukun!"
Hiss~
The three people present took a breath at the same time. Although no one dared to mention Cai Xukun's nickname in person now, as long as Xu Kun's family history was mentioned behind his back, he would definitely not be able to get over this hurdle.
Seeing the reactions of the three people, Xu Jing knew that there was a misunderstanding, and hurriedly explained: "It's Cai with the prefix "Cao"... er, it's Cai with the prefix Cai Wenji. My husband's name is that."
"You still have a husband?!"
The guard opened his mouth in shock. Looking at his extremely exaggerated expression, he might have imagined dozens of episodes of eight-o'clock drama.
Huang Bo hurriedly took out his mobile phone and dialed Jiang Yiyan - although the movie had already finished, the reporters had not finished leaving. If a tabloid reporter caught sight of this, there would really be a fuss. Big mess.
Jiang Yiyan listened to Huang Bo's words on the phone, but she said disapprovingly: "Why is it this woman again? Why isn't it over this time?!"
Has this happened long ago?
That's right, the child is already so old, Director Xu has only been famous for a day or two, and the two parties must have been in a lawsuit for a long time.
Huang Bo was thinking secretly while covering the microphone and reminded: "This matter must be suppressed as soon as possible, otherwise reporters will see it and write it randomly, affecting the release of the movie, which will be a big trouble."
When Jiang Yiyan heard this, she didn't dare to take it lightly, and said hurriedly: "Then you first... forget it, I'll send someone over to explain it clearly."
"Right here?"
"What else? Didn't the guard hear it all? If there was a misunderstanding and spread it out randomly, wouldn't it just add to the chaos?"
When he hung up the phone, Huang Bo looked confused. Can this kind of thing be explained clearly in public?
"How's it going?"
Ning Hao was gloating at the sidelines and eager to try: "Is it a real deal?"
"Does it have anything to do with you?"
Huang Bo rolled his eyes speechlessly and whispered: "There is probably some misunderstanding here. Jiang Yiyan said that he would send someone over to make it clear in person."
After all, his emotional intelligence was online, so he quickly figured out the situation. When Ning Hao heard this, he rolled his eyes, obviously having some evil thoughts, but when he glanced at the young boy beside him, he looked hesitant, and in the end he did nothing.
other side.
After Jiang Yiyan hung up the phone, she looked at Zhao Liying on the side: "That Xu Jing, have you seen it, right? It's the Xu Jing who got a small role in "To Youth" under the name of Brother Kun."
Zhao Liying pinched the paper clip on her collar and tried to think back, then said: "I seem to have met twice on the set of "Youth", but I'm not very familiar with him."
She was also working as a handyman on the set at that time, and she didn't go there every day.
"Then you go and help me send her away first."
Jiang Yiyan told what happened that year, and then said angrily: "Brother Kun also thought this was interesting, so he grabbed her casually, but who knew that this woman would become entangled in it. If she continues to act like this, she will do it again in the future. Maybe many people will misunderstand it.”
Zhao Liying also found it strange after hearing it. She didn't expect that someone's name was the same as Brother Kun's nickname.
As for 'misunderstanding' or something like that, with Brother Kun's reputation in this area, is there any need to worry about being misunderstood?
"What's that expression on your face?"
Seeing that Zhao Liying had written everything she wanted to say on her face, Jiang Yiyan said angrily: "I'm worried that others will misunderstand Brother Kun's credit!"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Zhao Liying suddenly realized that indeed, Brother Kun's credibility in this regard was not only well-known in the circle, but at least it could be regarded as a golden brand.
Otherwise, everyone wouldn't know that he was so carefree and still pounce on him one after another.
"You first ask her what she wants to do, and then send her away - I will mention it to Brother Kun later to see how to deal with her!"
Following Jiang Yiyan's instructions, Zhao Liying had no choice but to hold up her skirt and walk out in high heels. Fortunately, there was no one in the corridor outside, so she didn't have to face all kinds of pointing fingers.
Zhao Liying can be considered a big-hearted player. If an ordinary starlet encountered such an accident, he would probably have an emotional breakdown.
But she quickly adjusted her mentality, got two paper clips, and slightly modified her evening dress.
When she arrived at the back door, Zhao Liying was not in a hurry to go out. Instead, she supported the wall and rubbed her feet back and forth. Then she put on a straight face and went out.
But after going out, her little face became a little tense.
Could that young man be the rumored Cai Xukun? !
And the one next to him seems to be Huang Bo?
How did they get together?
What Jiang Yiyan said just now was not very detailed and did not mention the existence of these two people at all.
"Brother Bo."
Saying hello from a distance, Zhao Liying secretly looked at Brother Ji, walked over quickly, and said to Xu Jing: "Director Xu was thinking of your son's fate with him, so he helped you. It’s okay to be ungrateful, why are you still entangled?”
After she finished speaking, she saw that Huang Bo and the other two people's expressions were particularly exciting, and then she realized that her words were somewhat ambiguous, and hurriedly explained: "The fate I mentioned is that Director Xu's nickname and the child's name are the same. Director Xu found it interesting, so he helped her. ”
Huang Bo didn't know whether it was a true letter or a false letter. Anyway, he immediately showed a look of surprise on his face, and then turned to look at Ning Hao and the door with disdain. His expression seemed to say: Look, I told you it was a misunderstanding.
Ning Hao quietly gave him a middle finger.
At this time, Xu Jing finally recognized Zhao Liying, who was all dressed up. Last year, this girl was just a handyman in "To Youth", but I heard that she has recently been accepted into the companion chapter of "Double-Sided Tape", and she is about to soar into the sky. People.
Thinking about her situation again, Xu Jing felt a little unbalanced in her heart. If she had been a few years younger, if she had not been in a hurry to get married...
She never thought that without the 'coincidence' of Cai Xu Kun and Cai Xukun, Xu Kun would not recommend her to join the "Struggle" crew.
However, although Xu Jing felt sour and unwilling, she knew that today was not the time to care about these things.
She pulled her son in front of her and flattered Zhao Liying: "Miss Zhao, I'm not here for myself, but for Xiaokun - I heard that Huayi recommended a group of teenage children. , went to South Korea to be an idol trainee, so..."
Halfway through, she also felt that this request was a bit excessive, so she changed her words and said: "Our Xiao Kun has many talents. If you don't believe me, I will let him perform for you!"
At the urging of her mother, Cai Xukun had no choice but to tighten her suspenders and perform a few hip-hop moves for Zhao Liying on the spot.
I can’t say it’s very good, but it’s considered good for someone of my age.
"Aren't you in a hurry now?"
Zhao Liying hesitated and said: "I served as an examiner for those children. They have all undergone at least half a year of training and can speak basic Korean..."
"We're not trying to stop you!"
Xu Jing quickly explained: "We just want to join the next batch of students, and enrollment will start on the 1st of next month."
"Then go and sign up."
"But now Huayi only wants people over 12 years old..."
So that's what happened.
Zhao Liying deliberately said that she could do this little thing by herself, but thinking of Jiang Yiyan's attitude, she gave up the idea of overstepping her authority and said to Xu Jing: "Please leave your contact information. I will let you know if it can be done later."
"Thank you, thank you - Xiaokun, why don't you thank auntie quickly!"
"Thank you sister~"
Cai Xukun was not stupid enough to change his aunt into a sister on his own initiative.
Seeing mother and son leave with a lot of gratitude, Zhao Liying exchanged a few words with Huang Bo before going back to resume her life.
But after Xu Jing left the theater with her son, Cai Xu Kun, who had never spoken much, asked in a depressed tone: "Mom, haven't you already inquired about it? Can you get in as long as you spend money? Our family is not short of money, why do you still have to go in?" , and also...the way those uncles looked at us just now was very uncomfortable!”
"What do you know?"
Xu Jing rolled her eyes at her son: "I don't care about money, but this time we contributed money, what will we do in the future? If you want to become a big star, you have to go through a lot of hurdles. Do you have to use money to pave the way for everything? What if you are beaten by someone? What to do if we are taken advantage of? How much money can our family have to fill this hole?
You listen to me. If it works this time, when someone asks about your relationship with Director Xu Kun, just shut up and stop talking. When the question gets urgent, blame it on me and say I didn’t let you. Talk about these things to outsiders. ”
While educating her son, Xu Jing was making mental calculations. As long as she could use a vague attitude to make Huayi's senior management mistakenly think that her son was related to Xu Kun, she would not only be able to take advantage during Huayi's training, but would also be punished in Korea. preferential treatment.
After all, Director Xu’s relationship with the Korean entertainment industry is well known.
This method is much more effective than stuffing money!
Anyway, it's just vague. Secondly, since my son did get in through Xu Kun's help, no one would dare to investigate such a secret matter seriously.
After listening to his mother's instructions, Cai Xukun also kept his head down and stopped talking. In fact, he was a little more mature than his mother thought, so he had a pretty good idea of what his mother meant by doing this.
Didn't mom do this just to make people mistakenly think that she is Director Xu Kun's illegitimate son?
Naturally, he would find it difficult to accept the addition of a wild father for no reason, but if this person is the great director and international movie king Xu Kun...
Your friends and classmates should be envious, right?
Those teachers in the talent training classes will definitely look at me differently, right?
The female classmate in the dance class who is always very arrogant and unreasonable should also be able to...
