Chapter 344 The Disaster of Chiyu
Xu Kun and Tang Ren had just been chatting for a while when they saw Jiang Qinqin coming nearby holding Chen Jianbin's arm. She did not come forward to talk, but just stared resentfully.
Xu Kun couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to step forward and apologize: "Sister Qinqin, I'm sorry this time, but we didn't expect that this matter would affect you at the time."
< br>Jiang Qinqin and Chen Jianbin just got married this year, and they can be considered a strong alliance. Not only did they play "Qiao Family Courtyard", they were also selected for this year's "Viewing Award".
Jiang Qinqin is also the most popular nominee for the 'Most Popular Actress Award' - if nothing else, she is basically the one.
If you want to say that the Golden Eagle Award is indeed full of faults and ignores the bottom, if you want to win the "Best Performing Arts Award", then support it equally.
As for the male actors, they won Leslie Cheung's "Guan Xi", but the actresses did not cancel Jiang Qinqin's "Guan Xi". So according to the public's understanding, Jiang Qinqin should be a double star this year. back.
As a result, because Xu Kun and Zhang Guoli had entered into an offensive and defensive alliance, the organizing committee could not bear the pressure and finally came up with a temporary name change.
Suddenly, Jiang Qinqin suffered a terrible fate. She went from being a double admirer to a controversial double admirer. It is no wonder that she is so resentful.
To put it bluntly, Chen Jianbin and Jiang Qinqin were not as important as Xu Kun and Zhang Guoli, so they naturally became victims.
Although she was extremely dissatisfied, in the face of Xu Kun's sincere apology, Jiang Qinqin did not dare to blame her, and said quickly: "It's not Director Xu's fault, I can only blame my misfortune - but if there is a suitable opportunity in the future, Director Xu can You have to help me.”
“Next time, definitely next time!”
As Xu Kun was talking, another group of people came outside, led by Jiang Yiyan and Su Youpeng. .
Seeing Xu Kun talking to Chen Jianbin and his wife, Jiang Yiyan left Su Youpeng without thinking, quickly came to Xu Kun, and asked angrily: "Brother Kun, have you read the morning newspaper? ”
“What happened again?”
"Newspapers are hyping you and Yu Yantai, who is the fifth great director to break 100 million! And they are also promoting that the overseas box office of "Fearless" is more than five times that of our "Journey to the Road"."< br>
“It’s normal for people from Hong Kong to do this kind of thing.”
Xu Kun curled his lips slightly. In fact, this Yu Rentai was also the unlucky guy who suffered the disaster of Chiyu, and he was also the same as Xu. People are like fish in a pond, or the butterfly effect.
But Xu Kun can’t be blamed for this.
Eu Yantai is the director of "Fearless", and "Fearless" was released on January 25, which is the eve of the Spring Festival.
By late February, "Fearless" had already reached a box office of more than 80 million. However, just when Eu Yan Tai and the distributor were trying to "work hard" to collect 100 million, Chen Kaige suddenly jumped out and set strict requirements. Review box office data.
Although Director Chen's intention was to target Huayi's release of "A Man on the Road", "Huo Yuanjia" turned out to be unlucky, with the box office stuck at around 90 million, unable to make a living.
Originally everyone thought they were going to admit defeat, but who knew that more than half a year later, Eu Yan Tai suddenly announced that there was a problem with the original box office data. In fact, with the subsequent box office statistics of some small places, "Fearless Fearless" "The mainland box office of "The Movie" has reached 105 million, and it exceeded 100 million before "The Journey".
Although not many people agree with this hindsight statement, it does not prevent Hong Kong Islanders and the southern media from hyping it up.
This also made Xu Kun very speechless. As the saying goes, every injustice has its owner. If you want to cause trouble, you should also ask for trouble from Director Chen. Why are you looking for me, Director Xu?
But in fact, he also understood the reason why Yu Rentai did this. It was no big deal to be ranked behind Zhang Chenfeng and Zhou Zhou, but it was not so glamorous to be ranked behind Xu Kun, a junior.
In addition, Jet Li's face is also involved...
When it comes to "Fearless", the heroine Sun Li and Deng Chao walked away arm in arm. Come in.
Seeing Deng Chao's smug and smug look, Xu Kun went up and punched him in the chest: "Do you know that just because of you, we were almost poisoned to death?!"
Deng Chao was confused, rubbed his chest and wondered: "What do you mean? What are you talking about, poisonous or not? What are you talking about?"
"You don't believe it, do you? Baoqiang, Baoqiang!"
Xu Kun immediately called the "witness" and followed Li Chen and Chen Sicheng.
Bao Qiang grinned when Brother Kun asked him to testify about the 'poisoning incident'.
He doesn’t have any TV series to show off yet, but he was nominated for the Hundred Flowers Award, so he chose to go with Xu Kun, first to Changsha and then to Hangzhou. Bao Qiang was not in a hurry to speak, but Li Chen took the initiative to talk about the poisoning - Li Chen's role was in the second half, and he didn't have much of a role. He was almost a small supporting role, but he was still actively busy on the set, and he was usually very busy. Used as a stage manager.
However, Li Chen wisely did not mention the "apple" thing, only saying that it was chemical fertilizer poisoning.
After hearing this, Deng Chao said dissatisfied: "Damn, what did I think was going on - what does this fertilizer poisoning have to do with me?"
"Director Feng originally wanted to wait for a while Shit, isn’t it all because you keep asking for leave and can’t continue shooting the drama, so you can only shoot the battlefield scene in advance?”
Deng Chao then understood what Xu Kun meant, and he also understood it at the same time. Xu Kun was reminding himself that Feng Xiaogang and even the entire crew might be dissatisfied with him because of this.
But...
Deng Chao turned his head and looked at Sun Li beside him, feeling that happiness in the rest of his life was more important.
At this time, Sun Li smiled and said: "It's my problem to say so. If it weren't for me, Deng Chao would definitely not have interfered with the show - Director Xu, I have heard about the name for a long time."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Xu Kun.
"Each other, each other."
Xu Kun originally wanted to stop at the touch of a button, but when Deng Chao stared at her, he simply squeezed Sun Li's hand, raised it in front of his eyes and shook it .
Deng Chao slapped him on the wrist and took Sun Li's hand.
Seeing this, Xu Kun said to Sun Li: "Buy more walnuts for him later, so as not to offend everyone by mistake."
This guy has always been jealous, and now he is even more love-minded. If the momentum continues like this, the rift between him and Feng Xiaogang will only get deeper and deeper.
Even if he is recommended by Liu Heng and Wang Zhonglei, Xiaogangpao may not give him face once his temper gets angry.
Director Feng Xiaoning also arrived at this time, and Xu Kun quickly stepped forward to greet him, lowered his posture and stretched out his hands.
Feng Xiaoning also held hands with him and said with emotion: "When we were filming "Zhu Yuanzhang", I knew you were a good actor, but I didn't expect you to be a good material as a director - it really is the waves behind the Yangtze River that push the waves ahead!"< br>
“You are joking, I am just trying to be clever, I can’t compare with you.”
Xu Kun is not deliberately being modest. He has always believed that Feng Xiaoning’s "War Meridian" is the best in China. The Anti-Japanese War movie does not even need to be prefixed with 'one'.
Although Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly" was written by Liu Heng, it was still adapted from real events. However, Xu Kun believes that it is far inferior to "War Meridian" in terms of story portrayal and emotional mobilization. "of.
Of course, let alone "War Meridian", which was originally labeled as a children's movie, even the later "Red, Yellow, and Purple" war trilogy cannot compare with "Assembly" in terms of scenes. of.
Thinking of this, Xu Kun suddenly had an idea. When it came time to revise the script, could he ask Director Feng to help give him some advice on how to heighten the national patriotic sentiments.
Director Feng Xiaoning is definitely a master in this regard. He seems to have written and directed both the trilogy and "War Meridian", and he is also particularly good at using a foreign perspective to highlight the tragedy of the Chinese people. and courage.
And my new movie will definitely involve a lot of ‘foreigners’.
Not only the script, but if director Feng Xiaoning is willing, he will be the producer entirely.
Previously Xu Kun refused to accept Feng Xiaogang as a producer because he was not famous yet and was worried about becoming Lu Chuan's second best. Now that he is a great director with a box office of over 100 million, he naturally no longer has this ability. concern.
"This..."
Hearing Xu Kun's invitation, director Feng Xiaoning hesitated and said: "I just accepted a gift film recently, and I'm afraid I won't be able to spare the time in the first half of next year."
"That's just right. I plan to let the main actors undergo military training for a period of time. It is estimated that the filming will not start until the second half of next year at the earliest. If it is later, it may be pushed to 2008."
