Chapter 501 The alternation between old and new
At 8 o'clock sharp, some VIPs were arranged to enter the screening room in advance.
With Xu Kun's current status, he was naturally among the first in the first row. His position happened to be between Gu Changwei and Feng Xiaogang.
Feng Xiaogang was having trouble with Xu Kun at the moment. After sitting down, he pretended to discuss things with Xu Fan, turning his head and not looking at Xu Kun at all.
Although Gu Changwei had just thanked Xu Kun specifically for Zhang Jingchu's matter, he had a dull temper. It was naturally impossible for him to chat and laugh with his wife's lover.
So Xu Kun sat in the middle, looking a little alone.
But Xu Kun was not lonely, because not long after he sat down, waves of people began to get close to him, some of whom he had been in contact with before, and some who had only heard of his name but never met him.
Film and television company bosses, actors, singers, screenwriters, directors, producers, everything.
Most of them just come to say hello and give out business cards. Occasionally, you can meet someone who recommends himself for a pillow seat - usually he adds a small note on the business card, and some also make small gestures while shaking hands.
"Director Xu, can you sign your name for me?"
Seeing a pretty little girl offering a still photo of 'Gu Zi Di' with both hands, Xu Kun took it casually and found that there was no note inside, so he asked in a formulaic manner: "What should you write?"
The little girl leaned forward excitedly: "Just write 'I wish you a long and far career in the entertainment industry', and just write 'Zhi Jingtian' as the signature."
"Oh~"
It turns out that this person is the real owner.
Xu Kun calmly signed the signature and praised it as he handed it over: "Nowadays, little girls dream of becoming famous overnight, and not many think about developing their acting skills."
Hearing his idol praising him, Jing Tian happily held the autographed book in his arms and said excitedly: "Of course it's good to be famous, but I hope to impress the audience with my acting skills!"
"Haha, then work harder."
Xu Kun once again sent encouragement and watched Jing Tian trot away holding the notebook.
"Director Xu, please sign one for me too."
Before he could look back, a resentful and frivolous voice came to his ears.
Xu Kun glanced around and said speechlessly: "Why are you here to join in the fun?"
But it turned out that the person speaking was Huo Siyan.
"Others can come, but I can't come?"
Huo Siyan raised his eyebrows. The frivolous energy he deliberately showed was gone, but the feeling of resentment only increased.
This time "Operation Kunpeng" has exceeded 1 billion at the box office, and she definitely has a place among the most exciting people.
Especially when I see that Jiang Yiyan is also following the trend. Not only is she recruiting people to expand the studio and become the boss lady, but she also jointly publishes a blog with blogger queen Xu Jinglei to promote the new drama.
Huo Siyan felt sour and regretful, as if she had eaten several kilograms of unripe lemons that had been picked and placed in expired lemons.
In fact, even now, Huo Siyan believes that her choice to alienate Xu Kun was not a wrong choice, because Xu Kun could not give her the future she wanted.
Moreover, her development in the past two years has been pretty good, and she even slightly outperformed Li Bingbing within Huayi.
But she never expected that Xu Kun could climb to such a high level in just a few years.
Although Xu Kun was also touted after filming "Unfortunately", he was regarded more as a rising star. But now the situation is completely different. With the huge success of "Operation Kunpeng", Xu Kun not only grabbed Economic benefits and even gained a lot of political resources.
As long as the 'Youth Directors Association' he took the lead in establishing can exert its due effect, a large number of young directors will emerge in the future, and they will inevitably be dyed in Xu Kun's background.
After ten years of this, Xu Kun will definitely be full-fledged and become a big figure in the director circle.
If I had not been in a hurry to alienate him, but had chosen to reconcile for a few more years...
Where is Jiang Yiyan's turn to show off her power? !
Huo Siyan felt so much regret that she wished she could immediately return to Xu Kun's side, and tried her best to trample Jiang Yiyan down.
But she is a sensible woman after all, and she knows that it is not that easy to restore the feelings that have passed away, even if they are not very pure feelings.
So Huo Siyan just restrained herself and tried to adjust the previously distant relationship to be closer - at least to appear closer to outsiders.
Just when Huo Siyan's eyes were filled with resentment and charm, Jiang Wenli stood up suddenly and waved to a girl who was looking around not far away: "Sichun, over here!"
< br>
The girl trotted over quickly and called Jiang Wenli 'aunt', and then respectfully called 'little uncle' to Gu Factory Guard.
Gu Changwei nodded slightly, while Jiang Wenli grabbed her and scolded her angrily: "I told you to come with me earlier, but you didn't listen - who was the man next to you just now?"
"That's the leading actor of our crew."
Seeing Jiang Wenli's vigilant look, the girl stamped her feet and said: "Oh, my mother said hello to the director in advance, so don't worry about it."
When Jiang Wenli heard this, her expression softened a little, and she muttered: "Do you think I am willing to worry about this? It's not all because this circle is too chaotic!"
Then he said hello: "Come, I will take you to meet some real great directors."
The first one naturally led the person to Xu Kun.
Seeing this, Huo Siyan hurriedly said hello to Jiang Wenli, and then retreated to the back row.
"This is my niece Ma Sichun. She has also been a child actor since she was a child. She is currently undergoing a transformation. Please take care of her as much as you can if you have the opportunity."
Seeing that he was in front of the popular Director Xu, Ma Sichun quickly made a 90-degree bend: "Hello, Director Xu, I really like your movies!"
"Haha~" Xu Kun said with a smile: "The most important thing about a child star's debut is the two years of transformation. As long as you go through it, it will be a smooth journey - by the way, do you have any plans for your transformation direction?"
"This..."
Ma Sichun was a little confused by the question. He subconsciously glanced at the aunt next to him and thought to himself that he didn't seem to have heard that his aunt and uncle were related to Director Xu. Wasn't this a bit superficial?
Jiang Wenli answered on her behalf: "My sister has just arranged a crew for her - my sister has been my agent and has some connections in the industry."
"Oh~"
Xu Kun nodded suddenly and said to Ma Sichun: "What kind of TV series is it? What kind of role do you play in it?"
"This, this..."
Ma Sichun was even more flustered by the question, and secretly cursed in his heart, why did the great director ask such detailed questions? His uncle never asked such questions.
"That's what you said."
Seeing her niece being so coy, Jiang Wenli urged dissatisfiedly: "Director Xu also wants to see what path you are taking, so that he can make a clear target in the future - Aren't you usually very talkative? Why did you become mute at the critical moment?! Just How can we get along in the industry like this?”
Please...you...collect 6...9...books...!
Being so pushed by his aunt, Ma Sichun had no choice but to bite the bullet and said vaguely: "It's just a youth romance drama, and the plot is nothing new. It's just the same old story, falling in love, breaking up, raising a child alone, and finally reuniting, everyone is happy."
"Where's the title of the play?"
Listening to her niece's remarks that she was indifferent, even like an introverted and autistic child, Jiang Wenli asked angrily: "What is the name of this drama? I want to see how you performed when I look back!"
< br>
"This, this..."
Ma Sichun hesitated, wishing he could bury his head in his collar.
"What's wrong? Just talk, what's wrong with you kid?"
After being urged repeatedly by Jiang Wenli, Ma Sichun had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "The title of the play is "Dad, I'm Pregnant with Your Child."
A cold break, an embarrassing cold break.
Originally, the title of the play was shocking enough, but Xu Kun and Jiang Wenli had previously dragged Zhao Liying to perform "In the Name of the Father" with real swords and guns.
Seeing the strange expressions on the two of them, Ma Sichun explained with a red face: "Don't get me wrong, the heroine actually met a boyfriend who was more than ten years older than herself, so she jokingly called him 'Dad'. That's not true. Then what..."
"Haha, this name scared me. I almost thought it was a sixth-generation director who had broken through the lower limit again."
Xu Kun laughed and finally got over the matter.
Jiang Wenli also hurriedly turned to Feng Xiaogang with Ma Sichun.
At this time, another acquaintance came over. Before she could speak, Xu Kun called out her name: "Is it Yang Zi? You didn't go to school today?"
Xu Kun guest-starred as Xia Xue's physical education teacher in "Family with Children" and was frequently bombarded by TV dramas later on, so it was not surprising to recognize Yang Zi at a glance.
"Uh~"
Yang Zi came closer, pinched the corner of her skirt and explained with some uncertainty: "My agent brought me here."
As he said this, he couldn't help but look back.
At this time, a man walked over quickly, bent slightly and presented a business card with both hands: "Hello, Director Xu, I am the actor Yang Zi, and I am also Yang Zi's agent."
Xu Kun glanced at Yang Zi, who was obviously a little nervous, then took his business card and said with a smile: "Did you come up with your name later, or..."
"Stage name since 2005."
Yang Zi smiled and said: "What a coincidence, it happened to be not long after the broadcast of "Family with Children", so when I saw Yang Zi later, I felt that we were particularly destined, so I didn't hesitate to visit the thatched cottage and signed her into our film and television company. .”
It turns out that this is still the rich second generation in the bit industry.
Xu Kun nodded slightly, then looked at Yang Zi beside him: "Have you made up your mind to become an actor? It's not easy for a child star to transform."
He didn't say that to Ma Sichun because Ma Sichun was obviously an adult and his mother's aunt had a high status in the industry.
But Yang Zi...
I always felt that this girl seemed a little crooked, and I didn't hear her mother say that she had any connections.
However, Xu Kun vaguely remembered that Yang Zi seemed to have succeeded in the end, but he was not sure which step he had taken.
"I, I just want to be an actor!"
Hearing what Xu Kun said, Yang Zi said excitedly: "Brother Yang also made a superstar plan for me. I will definitely work hard. In the future, in the future..."
Halfway through, she remembered that there were all big directors in the area, and the Xu Kun in front of her was no longer the starlet she was when she guest-starred in "Family with Children", but the number one commercial director in the Mainland with a box office of over 1 billion.
Then the sound became smaller and smaller, until it was inaudible.
"Haha, then work harder."
Xu Kun smiled and helped her out: "It's a good thing for young people to be ambitious. I hope you can go further and deeper in your acting career in the future."
Yang Zi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded vigorously again: "I will definitely work hard!"
