Chapter 225: Passing through Shanhaiguan [Part 1]
[There will be additional updates from the leader before 12 o’clock]
What Jiang Xin didn't expect was that instead of fighting, Huo Siyan and Qin Lan came back holding hands.
This made her very curious as to what the two of them had talked about.
Xu Kun was not surprised at all. If it were Jiang Yiyan, they might start a fight in front of her, but Huo Siyan was much more scheming and would not be so impulsive.
At noon, Huo Siyan had lunch with Xu Kun alone, talked about the recent situation, and then left directly.
Xu Kun could tell that Huo Siyan actually wanted to turn around, but she finally endured it and even taught Qin Lan some 'new knowledge' as an 'old senior'.
And since then, the relationship between Huo Siyan and Qin Lan has obviously reached a higher level.
Obviously, rather than continue to be entangled, Huo Siyan wisely chose to 'leave a line in life so that we can meet each other in the future' - based on this alone, she is several times smarter than Jiang Yiyan, who is eager to declare her sovereignty. street.
But it may not be a good thing for a woman to be too shrewd.
Because women who are too shrewd will always give men a sense of unreliability - of course, this theory only applies to straight men and real men, and it doesn't matter to those wives who are married to their husbands.
Let’s not mention Huo Siyan’s matter for now.
However, after Xu Kun confirmed the Valentine's Day schedule, Bao Qiang, Qin Lan, and Gan Min all raised doubts. Since it is a movie about the Spring Festival travel period, why is it not shown during the Spring Festival travel period?
Even if you don’t rush it before the Spring Festival, you should rush it after the Spring Festival, right?
"Is Spring Festival travel a good thing?"
Xu Kun asked, "Especially for those who work outside, do they think this is something festive?"
This is of course impossible.
After more than ten years of publicity, even those who have not personally participated in the Spring Festival Transport know how torturous the Spring Festival Transport is.
Xu Kun asked again: "So, when you are about to participate in the Spring Festival Transport, or you have just experienced the Spring Festival Hell, will you run to watch a New Year's comedy related to the Spring Festival Transport?"
The answer is still no.
Those who can watch Spring Festival New Year movies before and after the Spring Festival are most likely not people who participate in the Spring Festival - of course, there will definitely be some people who pay attention to the Spring Festival but do not participate in the Spring Festival and will be attracted, but the proportion is by no means as high as some people imagine.
Xu Kun finally concluded: "When selling something, you must first find the right buyer, and more importantly, you must understand the buyer's mind. Although our theme is Spring Festival, the biggest buyers in the early stage are actually female viewers who have watched TV series, so Valentine's Day is better than Spring Festival. Front and back are more appropriate.
This is our first New Year comedy, and we must rely on early word-of-mouth to have a chance to attract more people to the cinema - because most of the people who come to the cinema are fans of the TV series, so the evaluation will naturally not be too bad. .
As long as we can ensure quality and have this group of girls as our base, we can generate enough topics and attention to attract other audiences.
Moreover, about ten days after the end of the Spring Festival, those who participated in the Spring Festival should have calmed down. After getting rid of physical and mental fatigue, they will be more able to accept exaggerated comedy performances. No matter how picky you are, your acceptance of the movie will not be the same. It won’t be worse than during the Spring Festival travel rush.
That’s why I think the benefits of choosing a lover’s date are far greater than choosing one before and after the Spring Festival. "
These remarks made the three of them admired and became more confident in Xu Kun's film. Brother Kun has really worked hard and studied film marketing, instead of being like those artists who just jump into the movie when their brains get hot. Filming started.
After explaining clearly the reason why he chose the Valentine's Day schedule, Xu Kun quickly bid farewell to the crew temporarily and flew to Northeast China with Song Xunyi to attend Gao Xiumin's funeral.
It can be seen that Gao Xiumin had a good reputation in the local area, and many people spontaneously mourned her.
Of course, being able to watch big-name celebrities up close is one of the main reasons why people take to the streets.
Song Xunyi cried several times at the funeral, not only to mourn the death of her old friend, but also to feel a little hurt - Gao Xiumin's body collapsed due to intense rehearsals for the show.
It's sad that there are so many people coming from other places, and the host's family will definitely entertain them after the event is over.
Uncle Benshan took over the task of accompanying the guests without any hesitation. The more famous ones, he personally accompanied them, while the less famous ones let his apprentices greet them.
Xu Kun is the kind of person who can be greeted by Benshan, but is not qualified to sit at the main table - Song Yuanxuan said that he wanted to introduce him to Uncle Benshan, but Xu Kun felt that there was no need to be too anxious in this situation and would wait until he left. Not too late either.
There was also a little incident during the dinner.
Uncle Benshan's quasi-disciple Liu Xiaoguang, later known as Nicholas Zhao Si, recognized Xu Kun during the dinner and kept getting close to Xu Kun. Xu Kun originally thought that this was someone who aspired to develop in the film and television industry. Who knew that this guy had almost laid the groundwork, and suddenly made a dice-throwing gesture towards Xu Kun: "Brother, let's go play a few games after this is over?"
Xu Kun naturally declined politely.
As a result, this guy posted it shamelessly, talking about "little gambling for pleasure", and then talking about Xu Kun's background, saying that he was a man on the street, how could he be bad at it?
Only then did Xu Kun understand that the other person in his relationship regarded him as a passing sheep.
Later, when he saw that Xu Kun still refused to let go, he became a little angry, threatening his nose instead of his eyes: "What's the matter, does the big star look down on us Northeasterners, or does he look down on my master?! You don't even give me any face, you Do you still want to..."
"You haven't become a disciple yet, haven't you?"
At this time, Wang Xiaoli, the sixth disciple of this mountain, came over, interrupted Liu Xiaoguang's words, and dragged him away.
Wang Xiaoli smiled at Xu Kun and said, "Brother, don't mind. That kid hasn't even started yet. He is just a Haiqing. He has been used to fooling around since he was a child. He doesn't ask about the relationship between Teacher Song and my master. He is just making fun here." ——Look at my master’s face, don’t argue with him.”
"How could it be?"
Xu Kun smiled and said: "I used to be more generous than him, but now I have a much better temper, right?"
As he spoke, he suddenly took out a dagger from his pocket and handed it to Wang Xiaoli: "Brother, please return this thing to him for me."
"You, this?"
Wang Xiaoli stared blankly at the dagger in his hand, unable to turn around for a moment.
"Brother, don't mind."
Xu Kun said with a smile: "I've been used to being a fool since I was a child, so I'm most afraid of others messing with me. Besides, it's not appropriate to cause trouble in this situation, so I gave him this thing in advance."
Only then did Wang Xiaoli realize that Xu Kun had taken the dagger from Liu Xiaoguang's body, and Liu Xiaoguang obviously knew nothing about it.
His face changed color slightly, and then he smiled again: "This time, he kicked the iron plate. Brother, wait a moment, I will ask him to come over and apologize to you."
With that said, he stood up, walked to Liu Xiaoguang, and pulled him into a corner.
"Why are you teasing me? It's obviously that boy who doesn't give me face..."
Liu Xiaoguang is still a little dissatisfied and resentful. Although he has not yet started, he is one of the two most favored students among the students. As expected, he will be able to officially become a disciple after the new year, so it is a time for satisfaction.
But midway through his words, his eyes suddenly straightened.
Wang Xiaoli shook the dagger in front of his eyes and said angrily: "I have always boasted that I am the master I have met in passing. Did I make a mistake this time? Just because someone can take away your dick without anyone noticing." , if we really fall into the game, it’s not certain who will eat who!”
Liu Xiaoguang touched around his waist and couldn't help but feel a little scared.
But he refused to lose face and said in a stern tone: "If a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake, how can he rebel against the enemy in our northeast?"
Wang Xiaoli rolled his eyes angrily: "You have the final say in Northeast China? Hurry up and come with me to make amends. Otherwise, if you get into trouble in front of Song Jue..."
"I'm not going!"
Liu Xiaoguang hugged his shoulders and twisted his body, leaned against the wall and muttered: "There are so many people, why don't I want to lose face?"
"You have such a shameless reputation. You spend all your time eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling..."
As he was talking, he suddenly heard someone quarreling in the corridor: "It's starting to get loud, it's starting to get loud, Teacher Zhao and Teacher Fan are starting to get into a fight!"
When Wang Xiaoli heard this, he ignored Liu Xiaoguang and hurriedly ran to the main table next door to check what was going on.
