Chapter 23 Doing good deeds without leaving a name
Seeing the young Golden Horse Award-winning actress again, Xu Kun felt somewhat strange.
Firstly, because of Ah Hao's matter, this woman was barely an insider; secondly, he had already watched "Tianyu", and the scale of the plot was larger than expected.
This film tells the story of Wenxiu, a female educated youth who went to the countryside. She was selected to herd horses in the Sichuan-Tibet border area. In order to be able to return to the city, she was tricked by a salesman into selling her body again and again to men who claimed to help her return home. What came was only fooling and betrayal.
The story unfolds before and after the girl takes a bath again and again. In the end, Wenxiu, who is completely desperate, chooses to commit suicide naked in the pool with the kind-hearted eunuch herdsman Lao Jin.
Li Xiaolu's performance in the play is remarkable. She vividly interprets Wenxiu's initial innocence, her transformation after that innocence is tainted, and her final despair. It is much better than her performance in "Young Zhang Sanfeng".
But Xu Kun doesn't believe that she can really outshine others in terms of skills and trample on so many great seniors in the Chinese-speaking world.
The fact that Li Xiaolu won the Best Actress of Onigashima must be inseparable from the fact that this film delved into the dark side of the mainland.
"As expected, it's you, Xiaoyao King No. 2!"
Just when Xu Kun was lost in memories of the film, Li Xiaolu was already standing in front of him, raising her head and excitedly saying: "I didn't expect you would dare to do something and make such a big noise!"
I guessed it was because of this.
Xu Kun pretended to have an innocent expression, spread his hands and said: "What action? What big noise? What do you mean, why can't I understand you?"
Looking at her from a close distance, she doesn't have the naivety and ignorance in the film at all. Instead, she shows off her youthful vitality wantonly.
If it weren't for his preconceptions, it would be difficult for Xu Kun to connect the urban girl in front of him with the weak girl who steps into the pool again and again in the movie.
Of course, in addition to personality, there are also some changes in body shape.
"you……"
Li Xiaolu was startled, and then said dissatisfied: "I won't betray you, what are you afraid of? I later found out that it was the Deng Master who bullied your friend first. Don't tell me, you are a bit fierce. My friends are really loyal!”
What the hell!
If I inquire about this information afterwards, if it falls into the ears of someone with a heart, it will be equivalent to betraying me!
Xu Kun cursed in his heart, but still pretended to be innocent: "I am confused by all this nonsense - besides, we don't seem to know each other very well, you can't even call me by my name."
Recalling that she got stuck in the middle of shouting and had to change her nickname, Li Xiaolu was a little embarrassed and said: "I remembered it at first, but it has been a long time... If you tell me now, I will know." ”
Halfway through, she became confident again.
"Sister Xiaolu, sister Xiaolu!"
At this time, another man and a woman came over from the opposite side. The man was a standard young boy with a middle-parted hair and a youthful look on his face.
The girl was seventeen or eighteen years old, young and beautiful. While calling Li Xiaolu, she looked at Xu Kun curiously, as if she was guessing about their relationship.
"Oops~"
When Li Xiaolu saw the two of them, she slapped her forehead and said in annoyance: "Look at me, I almost forgot about you two!"
As he spoke, he hugged the girl happily.
Seeing this, the young man smiled helplessly, reached out to Xu Kun, and introduced himself: "Pan Yueming, I'm filming with Xiaolu recently."
Xu Kun held his hand and smiled: "Xu Kun, when I was doing odd jobs on the set of "Young Zhang Sanfeng", I happened to help Miss Li solve some minor troubles."
Pan Yueming didn't show it clearly yet, but the other girl was obviously very curious about his relationship with Li Xiaolu, so he made up an answer in advance so that Li Xiaolu's behavior would be more consistent with common sense and logic.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiaolu suddenly clapped her hands and said: "Yes, yes, I remembered, your name is Xu Kun, Kun next to the word "王"!"
Xu Kun: "..."
Pan Yueming: "..."
Letting go of Pan Yueming's hand, Xu Kun said without changing his expression: "I've always shown kindness without repaying it, and I've done good deeds without leaving a name."
As he spoke, he quietly glared at Li Xiaolu, hinting to her to stop making trouble.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiaolu reached out and touched his eyes. Xu Kun turned his head to avoid it, and then Li Xiaolu asked curiously: "What's wrong with your eyes?"
Hearing this, the girl holding hands with her also looked at Xu Kun's eyes carefully and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong with his eyes? They look normal?"
"No, his eyes were so fierce at that time, as if he wanted to kill someone!" Li Xiaolu gestured with joy, as if she felt that her words were not convincing enough, so she urged Xu Kun: "Hurry up and give Xiao Ren a show!"
This woman is too capable of talking to herself.
Xu Kun took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. He lit it and said, "I'm sorry, it's non-business hours now. I'm not a showman."
Seeing Xu Kun's reaction, Pan Yueming also felt that Li Xiaolu was a bit abrupt. Just as he was about to say something to lighten the atmosphere, Xu Kun's cell phone suddenly rang.
Xu Kun made an apologetic gesture to Pan Yueming, walked aside and answered the phone.
Then Bao Qiang's excited voice came from inside: "Brother Kun, I've received a big job!"
Xu Kun asked curiously: "What big job?"
"It's a movie, it's a movie!"
Baoqiang was excited and incoherent: "The crew wanted someone under 1.65 meters tall, and they selected more than 20 people. I, I won, I was selected! Come here quickly, there are two more roles here, both of which are particularly suitable for you!"
"Why, you have a lot of roles this time?"
It's not like the two of them have never made movies before. It would make Bao Qiang happy as if Fan Jin won the election, and it would definitely not be as simple as a walk-on role.
"No, it's not that there are many roles, it's the male lead! Brother Kun, I want to play the leading actor in a movie!"
Hearing this, even if he knew about the achievements of Baoqiang in later generations, Xu Kun couldn't help being surprised and blurted out: "Is it true? Isn't it a scam?"
Bao Qiang on the other side was silent for a moment, and seemed a little unsure: "Ying, it shouldn't be possible, right? I've already read the script, it's a good one!"
Halfway through, he became excited again: "Brother Kun, there are two villains in this drama, and they have bigger roles than the male protagonists! Come over quickly and give it a try, and help me confirm it by the way!"
Do the two villains have more important roles than the male protagonist?
"What kind of movie is this?"
"It's a crime documentary about killing people and cheating money in a small coal mine."
Xu Kun, who committed murder and defrauded insurance companies, had known several people in his previous life, but he had never seen someone who did this in a small coal mine. The main reason was that there were relatively few coal mines in Hebei, and there was more than one prison...
"Okay, I'll take a taxi there right now!"
After asking for the address, Xu Kun hung up the phone, walked to the side of the road, waved to the car, and said to Pan Yueming, Li Xiaolu and others: "Sorry, I'm in a hurry to go to the audition. Let's talk later when we have a chance."
The three of them also vaguely heard the conversation between him and Bao Qiang. Pan Yueming nodded in understanding and said with a smile: "Those who Xiaolu approves of will definitely have good acting skills. We will have the opportunity to work together in the future."
Just when Xu Kun was about to vaguely agree, Li Xiaolu suddenly came over, spread her white hands towards him and said, "Lend me your cell phone!"
"what?"
Xu Kun didn't think she would be without a mobile phone.
Li Xiaolu didn't say anything, she just raised her open palm.
Xu Kun hesitated for a moment, but still put the phone up. This woman was crazy and spoke freely. If she didn't save any face, it would be bad if she revealed the matter later.
Although so many days have passed, even if Ah Hao's story is uncovered, no real evidence can be found, but once it spreads in the circle, there will definitely be some trouble.
Li Xiaolu took the phone and quickly dialed her number. When the ringtone rang in the pocket of her woolen coat, she returned the phone to Xu Kun with satisfaction.
Then she took one in each hand, pulled Pan Yueming and the little girl Ren and walked across the street: "Let's go, let's go. It's rare that the crew has an early break today. I'll take you to have a big dinner!"
