Chapter 318 Fellow classmates


Chapter 318 Hometown Classmate

Thanks to the good start of "The Road" at the beginning of the year, the box office trend of "Crazy Stone" is quite good.

Coupled with the increase in the basic ticket price, it is expected that the box office will be tens of millions more than the original historical volume - that is, between 35 million and 40 million.

This is the reason why people in the past planted trees and people in the future can enjoy the shade.

But don’t count on it. The most classic aspect of Xu Kun’s “A Stranger on the Road” is fan marketing, and “Crazy Stone” obviously does not have this condition.

Xu Kun was not idle during this period. He asked Zhu Yawen to contact Tianxia Ba Sing and bought the film and television adaptation rights of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

Whether it can be filmed is another matter. Anyway, the scripts are not expensive, so just buy them first and stock up - which big director doesn't stock up on a few scripts?

But Liu Haibo has been thinking about it for half a month.

It wasn’t until Xu Kun sent Hao Lei away in mid-July that he received news from Liu Haibo again.

“Kun’er, I just took on a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drama from Hua Lu.”

"Hua Lu?"

"Yes, didn't they just rush into "The Legendary Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang"? In order to restore their reputation, they opened several dramas at once - not to mention that it is a big company that is very powerful. I just look down on others!"

"What do you mean?"

"Isn't this my first time transitioning into an urban drama? He co-directed with me and said that our strengths complement each other."

Hearing the disdain in Liu Haibo's tone, Xu Kun asked curiously: "Who is co-starring with you?"

"Teng Huatao is Teng Wenji's son."

I have never heard of Teng Huatao, but I know Teng Wenji. Xu Kun is the director of "Blood Romance". Xu Kun was so confused that he almost acted in it. Male number five.

Thankfully I had Teacher Liu Heng’s support at the time, otherwise I would have had nowhere to complain if I was cheated.

“This Teng Huatao is good at filming urban dramas?”

“I don’t know, mainly because his father has a good relationship with Hua Lu.”

Okay~

This is not unusual at all in the human society.

"Then you called me, did you want to show off to me, or complain to me?"

"Neither."

Liu Haibo said: "You Let me recommend another heroine.”

"Huh?"

Xu Kun felt baffled. During "The Unruly Princess", Liu Haibo asked him to recommend the heroine. It could be said that he was reciprocating the favor. Now he actively asked him to recommend the heroine. What's the reason?

"Isn't it said outside that you are a boy who wants women? I'm asking for a good fortune, and I will use your name to overpower Teng Huatao."

They all say that Xiaohong relies on praise. Being popular depends on fate, so there are quite a few people in the entertainment industry who believe in the theory of ghosts, gods and luck - but Lao Liu's purpose should be mainly the latter.

I guess he was afraid that Teng Huatao would use his father's relationship to cause trouble for him on the set, so he thought of using the banner as a tiger's skin.

"Then as a father, I can hardly recommend one to you."

"Get out!"

"Seriously."

Xu Kun mused: "This drama of yours What is it about? What is the character of the heroine? "

"Didn't I say it is a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drama called "Double-sided Tape". It tells the story of a daughter-in-law from a magical city who meets a northeastern mother-in-law and is raped by a feudal mother-in-law. The story of how she and her husband finally parted ways after repeatedly making things difficult for her. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Haibo couldn't help but spat: "Made, this plot is a bit offensive to us Northeasterners. We Northeastern old ladies are open, how can we be so fussy about it?!"

Liu Haibo is from Jilin Man, he was quite dissatisfied with the plot, but he still liked the script very much. In recent years, dramas about mothers-in-law making things difficult for their daughters-in-law have been popular, and this one is obviously the master of it all.

Listen to Liu Haibo’s brief introduction to the plot and characters.

Xu Kun immediately thought of Hao Lei. Although Liu Haibo was trying to get good luck, recommending Hao Lei by himself seemed a bit...

But the current Hao Lei is indeed quite suitable for this kind of role.

Moreover, she graduated from theater, so she also understands the situation in Shanghai, and can even speak a few words in Shanghai.

In the end, Xu Kun said: "Then I will mention the personal choice first. If you think it is inappropriate, just pretend that I didn't say anything."

"Why are you still writing with me? Hurry up. !"

"Hao Lei." Xu Kun said: "She just left my place. How can I say that she has a mature and steady temperament now. I think she is very suitable for acting in a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drama. .”

"Hao Lei?"

Liu Haibo pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, we are all from Jilin and came from the theater. If you can help, I will help.

Look back. I will find another person from Shanghai to play the role of the Northeastern mother-in-law, so that when it comes to publicity, we can not only clear the name of our fellow Northeasterners, but also create a gimmick!"

Xu Kun then remembered that Hao Lei is also from Jilin, And Liu Haibo also graduated from theater.

Although the two of them don't have much contact in normal times, the identity of the township party member and classmate still carries a certain weight at critical moments.

…………

People’s ability to adapt is actually very strong.

By August, although the sweltering heat had not completely subsided, the filming progress of the crew had been greatly accelerated, and the cooperation between Zhao Changjun and Zhang Jin had become more and more tacit.

Zhang Ruoyun showed some comedy talent, but like his acting talent, there was some, but not much.

However, this kid has some perseverance. He practiced martial arts with Xu Kun and Zhang Jin. Although he complained about being tired every day, he never stopped.

In fact, this trait is sometimes more important than talent. Perseverance may have the effect of allowing the stupid bird to fly first.

And the current TV industry seems to pay less and less attention to acting skills...

In mid-August, Hao Lei sent back the good news, saying that he had successfully won "Double-Sided" The heroine of "Glue".

In the finals, I met a guy named Hai Qing, who was also a capable actor and suited the role very well. He was evenly matched with Hao Lei during the audition.

However, with director Xu Da’s face, Hao Lei finally came out on top.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Xuebin and Gan Min also called to report the good news, saying that "Qi Pa Shuo" became a hit on the Internet after it aired. Now Zhang Chen, the boss of Happy Twist, drives Shen Teng around every day, fearing that he will simply jump to LeTV.

"Qi Pa Shuo" is LeTV's new current affairs program. The name was given by Xu Kun. He couldn't remember where he had heard of it, but he thought it was quite appropriate anyway.

It’s late August.

While Xu Kun was busy filming, he also began to contact Huayi frequently, preparing to return to Beijing to attend the premiere of "The Night Banquet".

In fact, "The Night Banquet" has already premiered in Venice. Huayi said that countries around the world are actively buying it, and the cost has basically been recovered. The domestic box office is pure profit.

But in fact, according to Wang Zhonglei, the rebate from the sale of the film is actually less than half of the cost, which is about 40%.

Although it was specially sent to foreigners to see it, Director Feng’s reputation abroad was obviously not as good as that of Lao Mouzi, so he couldn’t sell it at a very good price.

The latter words were guessed by Xu Kun. Feng Xiaogang was depressed, and Wang Zhonglei did not dare to provoke him any more.

At this time, Li Yixiang specially sent a movie disc to Xu Kun, saying that it was a niche literary film released at the end of June. The acting was particularly good, so that Xu Kun could consider similar movies in the future.

The movie is called "Tengu", and after watching it, Xu Kun felt very sad.

He can also play this role!

Tolerance, perseverance, perseverance, tit for tat...

Almost every shining point of this protagonist hits Xu Kun's strike zone.

If he could have discovered this script earlier, I dare not say that his performance was better than that of Fu Dalong, but at least it would not be too different. It should not be a big problem to get nominated for Best Actor.

What a pity...

Forget it, just get a Shidi first.

Although the nominations for the 23rd Golden Eagle Awards have not been officially announced, Xu Kun has already received inside information.

With "Zhu Yuanzhang" and "Ba Zong", he won three nominations respectively, the Golden Eagle Festival Best Performing Arts Award, the Audience's Favorite Actor Award, and the Golden Eagle Festival Most Popular Actor and Actor Award.

The first one is commonly known as the Golden Eagle Vision Emperor, and the latter two are group awards and are part of the pie.

However, being selected for three nominations at once shows Xu Kun’s current popularity.

In addition, this time the Golden Eagle Awards also wants to create a "Golden Eagle Goddess". The tentative candidates are: Liu Yifei, Jiang Yiyan, Liu Shishi, etc.

This is obviously to cause trouble.

The feud between Liu Yifei and Jiang Yiyan is well known. Since Liu Shishi debuted, she has also caused dissatisfaction among Liu Yifei fans because of her nickname of "Little Liu Yifei".

Put these three together for a PK, wouldn’t it mean that the thunder from the sky collides with the fire from the earth?
