Chapter 507 Returning the Pearl returns for a limited time
While the lights in the screening room were still on, Xu Kun took out the script of "Nightclub" and looked through it.
This book is quite interesting. Compared with "Unfortunate Road" and "Crazy Stone", the scenes are a bit single and there are less hype gimmicks.
But if director Xu Da makes a guest appearance as the villain, this last shortcoming will be taken care of.
As Xu Kun's female companion, Huo Siyan also successfully sat in the front row this time. Although her face did not show too many emotions, she could not help but rub the armrests and scan the other seats with the corner of her eyes. VIP.
After a while, she leaned into Xu Kun's ear and whispered: "Do you think I will have a chance to sit in the front row on my own in this life?"
Xu Kun didn't hear clearly at first, so he asked her to repeat it again, and couldn't help but laugh: "I thought you were going to say, 'Dear, we are superiors from today on.'"
Then he answered seriously: "There should be opportunities on the edge of the front row, but it will be difficult to occupy the C position. The person in the middle is either the leader or the boss, and at the worst he has to be a well-known director."
Huo Siyan didn't say anything, and he didn't know whether he was satisfied with the answer.
At this moment, Zhao Wei suddenly trotted in from the side door, nodding to the distinguished guests along the way from the front row, and occasionally stopping to chat for a few words.
When he arrived at his place, Xu Kun thought he just wanted to say hello, but who knew that Zhao Wei bowed his waist and bowed to him with his hands clasped together, then leaned close to his ear and said: "Director Xu, something went wrong here, one of the programs can't be shown. , please see if you can go up and say a few words - no need to say anything else, just talk about your feelings when filming with Zhou Xun.”
With that said, he bowed to Xu Kun again, with a look of prayer on his face.
The lack of programs should be true, but by not looking for someone else to come to Xu Kun's rescue, he must be trying to borrow money.
Who makes Xu Kun so prosperous now?
Since the beginning of the year, "Assembly" has been hit, the YZ scandal, the CD crisis has erupted, the Venice Best Actor has been crowned, and "Kunpeng Tianxia" has swept across the Greater China region...
Even the three major directors combined could not be as popular as him in 2008.
Xu Kun hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement. Firstly, many people had seen Zhao Wei's praying appearance. Secondly, Zhao Wei's request was also a coincidence. Zhou Xun is an actress that Huayi strongly recommends nowadays. , Xu Kun, as the first brother of Huayi, also has the obligation to contribute.
And after all, the two of them filmed "The Wind" together. Although there was no super friendship there, there was still a bit of friendship.
Zhao Wei immediately thanked Xu Kun profusely and even said "Happy" to Xu Kun - she was wearing a costume, so this action was appropriate for the occasion.
After Zhao Wei left, Huo Siyan said with some bitterness: "Zhao Wei is getting better and better as a person now. When we first entered the industry, we often listened to her jokes."
"The main thing is that I am different now."
Xu Kun was not modest at all: "If it were someone else who was not famous, what would her attitude be like?"
"If you're not hot enough, she won't be able to find you."
Just as he was talking, Zhou Xun also came. First he thanked Xu Kun and then handed Xu Kun a timetable.
The last sentence was: "I didn't want to trouble you, but Zhao Wei insisted on coming..."
Tsk~
It is considered a traditional repertoire of the Four Days Double Ice Festival to undermine each other, and it is relatively subtle.
Not long after, only ten minutes or so, Xu Kun was invited to the stage in the name of 'Zhou Xun's friend'.
However, Xu Kun neither mentioned Zhou Xun's acting skills nor the aura in her body. Instead, he said to the audience: "Zhou Xun and I became friends because of a meal of sheep bone..."
He vividly described the scene when the two met for the first time, especially the little Zhou Xun, with a mountain of bones beside him, the strong contrast in the picture.
The whole process was quite humorous and interesting, and coupled with Zhou Xun's positive praise, it easily lasted for six minutes amid applause and laughter.
When he came down from the stage, Xu Kun found that the people around him had changed. It was originally an old man in the industry and his wife, but now it was Wang Zhonglei and Lin Xinru, and Lin Xinru was sitting next to Xu Kun.
As soon as Xu Kun sat down, Lin Xinru clapped and leaned her upper body over, saying in a sweet accent: "Congratulations to Director Xu for being nominated for the Golden Horse Award. It seems that you will soon have another Best Actor title."
"Haha, I haven't even written these horoscopes yet."
Xu Kun laughed and said perfunctorily: "It would be best if I can get it. If I can't get it, I won't have any regrets since I have the Venice Best Actor in my hand."
These words did not go beyond Lin Xinru's expectation. In her opinion, Xu Kun, who is so young and successful, will definitely be arrogant. In addition, he has always been biased against Hong Kong and Taiwan, so it is normal for him to look down on the Golden Horse Award.
But she still felt a little uncomfortable.
When "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" was filmed in 1997, mainland actors were more than inferior to the islanders. Who could have imagined at that time that the situation would be turned upside down in just a decade or so.
Originally, this trend was not so obvious, but the total box office of "Operation Kunpeng" in the mainland of 787 million has revealed a fact - the future of the Chinese entertainment industry must and can only be in the mainland. After all, "Cape No. 7", which has been hailed as unprecedented in the island, has a total box office of just over 100 million yuan converted into RMB.
And except for "Cape No. 7", there is no movie on the island that has a box office of more than 100 million yuan, or even one that has a box office of nearly 100 million yuan.
This contrast is already very strong.
So even though she felt uncomfortable in her heart, Lin Xinru still seized the opportunity to express her goodwill: "Based on your performance in "Assembly, Director Xu," it would be really short-sighted if the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor is not awarded to you!"
After a pause, seeing that Xu Kun didn't have any big mood swings, he quickly added: "I still have some influence over there. If necessary, I can..."
"No need."
Xu Kun interrupted her and asked: "I heard that the island has always been very repulsive to me. If you help me like this, aren't you afraid of attracting criticism?"
"This..."
Lin Xinru pretended to be hesitant at first, then gritted her teeth and said resolutely: "I admire your talent very much. Even if you will suffer some criticism, I hope you will be treated fairly."
"Really?"
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
Xu Kun was still noncommittal. With his current status, he was qualified to take the stand even when facing a national idol like Lin Xinru.
So naturally you won't rush to respond just because of a few nice words from the other party.
Lin Xinru felt even more resentful when she saw this. Ever since she signed a contract with Huayi the year before last and squeezed out Fan Bingbing with the support of the two kings, she has been enjoying a smooth life. Many big names in the mainland were polite to her when they met her. How could she ever do that? Have you ever seen Xu Kun who is neither salty nor bland nor cold or hot?
But she was really unwilling to give up the opportunity to please Xu Kun.
In addition to Xu Kun's box office miracle, the subject matter and style of his films are also an important reason why Lin Xinru wants to please him.
Although mainland China has been advocating the production of commercial blockbusters recently, in fact, like Wanwan, those who occupy the highest ecological niche are the big names in literary and artistic films.
These people have very high requirements for acting skills in all aspects. It is really difficult for a female star like Lin Xinru who comes from idol dramas to squeeze in.
Even if you barely squeeze in, I'm afraid you can only play some vase roles.
In comparison, Xu Kun's box office performance is better, and her requirements for acting skills are not that high, which naturally makes her the best choice to go further on the big screen.
So she gritted her teeth secretly, and there was a hint of ambiguity in her increasingly clingy tone: "Director Xu, when you go to attend the Golden Horse Awards, be sure to take a good stroll around the island. I can be your personal tour guide then. , so as to show the friendship of the landlord.”
When she talked about 'the friendship of the landlord', she quickly put her mouth to Xu Kun's ear, and her two red lips moved back and forth on the earlobe. Although it was gone at the touch of a touch, there seemed to be a slightly sweet heat flowing along the cochlea. Go straight to the Dantian below the navel.
Xu Kun is also a veteran of flowers, so he naturally understands what this 'private tour guide' means.
There is definitely a heartbeat, but Xu Kun has always had a grudge against celebrities from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and now he suddenly has to overtake others...
So in the end, he just said lightly: "It depends on the situation. Director Feng has the final say on the crew of "Assembly Number". I will definitely listen to Director Feng's instructions when the time comes."
Perfunctory, this is obviously perfunctory!
Now who doesn't know that Xu Kun is Hua Yi's first brother, and Feng Xiaogang even had trouble with him because of this.
But this doesn’t make sense!
This dish Xu Kun is notoriously lustful, how could he not be tempted by his own hints?
It can't be that my charm is not enough, right?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Lin Xinru secretly clenched her fists. She originally wanted to 'make progress', but now she cares more about her own charm, why it has no effect on Xu Kun.
And at the same time.
Fan Bingbing, who was sitting in the second row, was also staring at Lin Xinru's back.
Let’s not talk about the grievances that she had with the Huanzhu crew. In the past two years, this bitch went north to China, as if she was specifically here to fight against her. She was not satisfied with taking away her resources and status in Huayi, but now she still Want to win over Xu Kun.
Just kidding, if she were to succeed in becoming the leader, wouldn't her early investment in Xu Kun become a joke?
no!
We must find a way to ruin her good deeds!
