Chapter 35: Choosing a day to ascend the throne
Although they met each other's eyes, Xu Kun did not act rashly. Instead, he took advantage of the break in filming to have a heart-to-heart talk with the young lady.
After it was confirmed that the other party was just surprised and happy to see him, and had no other intentions, he made an appointment to meet at the south bank of the cinema and cuddle up for a while.
In order to allow Bao Qiang to sleep soundly and peacefully, Xu Kun was so worried that he forced himself to sleep in a small hotel near the cinema at noon, thus achieving a double reduction in wallet and body.
Although it is not a transaction between the two parties, as a man, you can't not even invite him to lunch, right?
Afternoon.
Bao Qiang showed up at the massage parlor with a frown on his face. Everyone looked at him and smiled. Someone shouted, "Bao Qiang, have you recharged yourself this morning?"
Bao Qiang blushed but didn't answer, and muttered to Li Yang, "Director, I've got a good rest."
Seeing his shy look, some people wanted to continue to make noise, but Xu Kun suppressed him with a look.
Li Yang patted Bao Qiang's arm and said with a smile: "Let's shoot the scene downstairs first. After the scene is finally cleared, we can then shoot the scene with you and Xiaohong - by then, everyone except me and the cameraman will go back to the hotel first. ”
Baoqiang was visibly relieved.
His shy state was so apt for this scene that during the transition, Xu Kun couldn't help but sigh: "It's a good thing you didn't come with me to experience college life, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to act so realistically." ”
Since the scenes that did not involve protecting one's strength had already been filmed in advance, the scene where Song Jinming selected Xiaohong for Yuan Fengming and watched them go upstairs was filmed.
Immediately afterwards, there was a transition, and the filming started again of Yuan Fengming being frightened upstairs and hurriedly escaping down.
Tang Chaoyang and Song Jinming helped him upstairs and gave Yuan Fengming a ride; Yuan Fengming, who was "finished" on the back, lowered his head again and went downstairs to rush out the door.
After completing these three palaces, the rest of the crew will be able to work together.
With Li Yang's order, everyone was kicked out of the massage parlor, leaving only a makeup artist standing guard downstairs.
Once the massage parlor scene is finished and it takes another two days to shoot some additional footage, the movie can be officially announced as finished.
On the way back to the hotel, talking about this with Li Yixiang, I couldn't help but feel a little sad and disappointed, as if part of my body had been hollowed out - well, not the ones taken out at noon.
This feeling was something he had never experienced in other crews before.
Seeing that Xu Kun was inexplicably depressed, Li Yixiang changed the subject and said, "What are your plans when you return to the capital?"
"What else can I plan?"
Xu Kun spread his hands and said: "Let's continue taking jobs and filming. This time I plan to play a good person, at least a normal person."
"actually……"
Li Yixiang originally wanted to say that it would be best to take time to settle down and summarize what he had learned on the set of "The Blind Shaft", but thinking that his theory was not recognized even among his classmates, he temporarily changed his words: "If you have a suitable role, don't forget to give me a hand."
"No, Brother Li, can we stop joking?"
Xu Kun was speechless. As a 92-year-old class monitor and outstanding student of Beijing Film Academy, Li Yixiang did not have nothing to film, but he was too picky about scripts and roles.
Even if Li Yixiang pays ten times the price for the jobs he usually does, he may not be willing to take them.
Given the right opportunity, it would be okay to let Li Yixiang give him a hand.
But not far from the hotel, Xu Kun suddenly received a strange phone call.
When I picked up the answer, I heard the other person say: "Is this Mr. Xu Kunxu? I am from the crew of "Thirteen Princesses". I want to confirm with you. You will definitely be able to join the crew before the end of the month, right?"
"ah?!"
Xu Kun was confused and thought to himself that he hadn't asked Brother Chen and Uncle Wang to take jobs for him recently?
Could it be that...
Someone popped up in his mind, so he quickly said: "I will definitely be able to join the team at the end of the month. By the way, can I ask who the leading actors in our drama are?"
"The heroine, Thirteen Gege, is Miss Li Xiaolu who recommended you to join the group. The one who plays Empress Dowager Cixi is Teacher Lu Liping. The first male lead is Russian singer Abliz Nie. The second male lead is the actor who starred in "Don't Cry Seventeen" Li Chen..."
Sure enough, it was Li Dazui who did it!
No wonder she hasn’t contacted her for so long. She was waiting for him here.
However, Xu Kun was quite excited when he heard that this drama also included teacher Lu Liping. When "The Story of the Editorial Department" was broadcast in 1992, he was waiting for his dying grandfather. This drama can be said to be his part. The only source of joy in time.
Although I didn’t understand much about it at the time, I was deeply impressed by the characters in the play, especially Li Dongbao, played by Ge You, and Ge Ling, played by Lu Liping.
Then there is "The Passionate Years" which aired at the end of August last year. At that time, Xu Kun and Bao Qiang had just started living together, and the two of them watched the show almost without missing an episode.
The iron-clad Shi Guangrong in the play left a very deep impression on Xu Kun. At that time, he was thinking that he would play a similar role in the future if he had the opportunity to live the life of a revolutionary soldier. Lu Liping, who plays Shi Guangrong's wife Chu Qin, once again awakened Xu Kun's childhood memories.
Unexpectedly, in just a few months, I would be acting with Teacher Lu.
After hanging up the call with the crew, Xu Kun immediately called Li Xiaolu again.
The call was answered quickly, but it was not Li Xiaolu who answered the phone.
"Hello, I am Ms. Li's assistant. It is not convenient for her to answer the phone right now. Is there anything you can tell me, or..."
"Who?"
Halfway through the female assistant's words, Li Xiaolu's voice came from the receiver.
"The caller ID is..."
When the female assistant mentioned the caller ID name, she obviously covered the phone.
Haha~
This was probably some kind of nickname given to himself, but when he thought that he was labeled "Li Dazui", Xu Kun had nothing to complain about.
Soon the phone was in Li Xiaolu's hand, and she said jokingly: "Oh, isn't this the future Golden Horse Best Actor? What a wind blowing today, he even took the initiative to call me."
"Breeze, the wind of Tartar."
Xu Kun asked straight to the point: "Why did you suddenly think of recommending roles to me?"
"Did the crew contact you?"
Li Xiaolu felt a little proud at first, and then said angrily: "You said you heard it that day, but you were lying to me! Could it be that your ears can also change according to your wishes?"
It was originally a question, but in the end it turned into curiosity.
"Do you think I'm a monster?"
Xu Kun complained and asked: "What role did you recommend to me? Could it be the eunuch Li Lianying?"
Because he was afraid of revealing that he had no knowledge at all, he had just refrained from asking.
Li Xiaolu joked: "Li Lianying is played by Teacher Fu Biao, and you can play a little five-year-old at most."
Although I don’t know the specific character role, this Xiaowuzi is obviously also a eunuch.
Xu Kun was debating whether to act or not when he heard Li Xiaolu say: "I won't tease you anymore. This time you are not playing the eunuch, but the eunuchs' master, Emperor Guangxu."
"emperor?"
Xu Kun was a little unbelievable. He didn't expect that Li Xiaolu actually introduced him to a serious character. Even if the role was smaller, he was still an emperor after all.
"Thank you very much."
Xu Kun said his thanks awkwardly, and heard Li Xiaolu laughing on the other end of the phone.
After a long while, he said: "So you can also say thank you, and I thought you didn't care about it - Hey, have you finished filming that thing? Don't delay joining the team at the end of the month."
"It's almost over. The filming should have been completed a long time ago. However, there was a mining disaster in the middle. It took some time to find a mine again."
"Encountered a mining accident? Real or fake?!"
Li Xiaolu suddenly became excited: "Quick, quick, quick, what's going on, tell me quickly!"
Xu Kun accepted her favor and naturally went along with it. He slightly exaggerated the experience at that time, which made Li Xiaolu wonder: "How come your experience is like a movie?"
Xu Kun was speechless: "We were originally making a movie!"
"Hahaha...it seems so."
Li Xiaolu laughed for a while, and then vaguely heard someone calling her name from the opposite side. She immediately said: "Let's not talk about it for now. I am going to take Manchao Wenwu to visit the public toilet. We will talk later when you enter the set. "
Listening to the blind voice coming from the phone, Xu Kun had a question mark on his forehead.
Take Manchu Wenwu to visit public toilets?
What the hell is this? !
