Chapter 57 Big News
In the KTV private room.
Hu Dahai [Chen Bing] was hugging a short-haired girl and singing Farewell My Concubine at the top of his lungs.
Han Yueping also hugged a girl in white clothes and lazily picked up a bottle of beer. After shaking it twice, he tilted the bottle and stuck the edge of the bottle cap on the top of another bottle of beer.
Then he picked up two bottles of beer at the same time and knocked them gently on the coffee table.
Bang~
With a crisp sound, the bottle cap disappeared.
The girl in white said "Wow" and her eyes widened, and the short-haired girl couldn't help but look sideways.
Han Yueping [Xu Kun] didn't look proud at all, and poured Hu Dahai a full glass of wine.
"Click~"
Gao Qunshu shouted stop at the right time, and then kept urging: "This scene is over - hurry up, hurry up, go to the private room next door to shoot the next scene!"
The crew members who were huddled in a corner of the room immediately filed out.
Xu Kun and Chen Bing also changed their leisurely demeanor. They each picked up beer and fruit plates and moved to the box next door.
This box is twice as big as the one before, with two tables and the number of actors increased from four to eight.
There was a beer and fruit plate on one of the tables, but the other side was empty.
Xu Kun and Chen Bing put the beer and fruit plate from next door on the table, and then retreated to the corridor outside.
Due to the tight budget of the crew, we hired this KTV today. In addition to filming the plot of Han Yueping [Xu Kun] and Hu Dahai [Chen Bing], who fled to Jinling because of Sun Honglei's killing spree, they clashed with local gangsters.
We also have to film the scene where Song Huhu is released from prison and settles the debt for Ying Hong, the proprietress of Hengzhou KTV.
Separated by a wall, they are far apart.
Gao Qunshu gave the order and the crew started filming again.
After the actor who played the role of boss Shen, the contractor, told him that Ying Hong owed him 100,000 yuan for the project and all the expenses were deducted from it, Song Laohu [Zhang Yong] immediately pushed the door open and entered, believing that Boss Shen was a monkey thief. Peach, here comes a man with twin eggs to order the princes.
"Do you know who I am? You don't know. Then I'll tell you who I am. Listen carefully. My name is Song Laohu!"
As soon as the three characters "Song Tiger" appeared in the shadow of the famous tree, Boss Shen's brothers all withered.
So I asked Song Huhu [Zhang Yong] to help sort out the one hundred thousand yuan account. Boss Shen still owed KTV two thousand eighty yuan, so in the end he could only scrape together two thousand yuan and leave.
Boss Shen was a temporary guest star, and Zhang Yong was not a serious actor either. Naturally, their coordination with each other was far inferior to that of Xu Kun and Chen Bing. This scene failed seven or eight times before Gao Qunshu let it go.
Then the crew took some of the beer fruits and moved back to the small box again.
Xu Kun and Chen Bing sat down and without saying a word, they ate a third of the fruit in the fruit plate. The peels and cores were randomly thrown under the table, pretending to be in a wanton carnival.
The props took away the real beer glasses. Gao Qunshu personally placed the two sugar glasses on the table and said, "Kun'er, Xiao Chen, we don't have many beer glasses prepared. Let's try our best to go through them all."
This was the first time Xu Kun saw a glass made of syrup. It was a little sticky when he grabbed it. He licked it with his tongue and it hit his throat.
This thing can't last long at room temperature, so it either needs a special container or it can only be produced on site - given the conditions of the "Conquest" crew, it can only be the latter.
In the first filming, Han Yueping [Xu Kun] and Hu Dahai [Chen Bing] controlled the scene with their momentum and acting skills, and finally completed a double kill with a syrupy beer mug.
However, there was something wrong with the two extras. The one in the front who had lines was quite dedicated, but the one in the back kept peeking at the camera. After falling to the ground, he deliberately adjusted his posture so that his face was facing the camera.
Gao Qunshu's face turned dark after watching the replay. Wang Baode, who played Feng Biao, dismissed the group of actors without saying a word, and then selected a less visible member of the staff to temporarily take over.
Although it is not as good as "The Blind Shaft", where the director wears many hats in the mine, the staff of "Conquest" can be considered versatile, and almost all of them appear as extras.
But something went wrong again during the second filming. When the extra actor playing the role of a local gangster reached out to pick up the girl next to Han Yueping [Xu Kun], the girl in white accidentally stepped on a banana peel and fell over on her back.
If it weren't for Xu Kun's quick eyesight and quick hands, she would have even knocked over the coffee table.
The only good thing is that the two spare syrup beer bottles haven't been used yet. It wasn't until the third time that the shooting was finally completed successfully.
Next, it was the KTV's turn to have a power outage, and the proprietress Ying Hong and a group of Yingying Yanyan were having a conversation in the corridor.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were no filming tasks for the time being, Zhang Yong pulled Xu Kun outside the KTV and said: "If the filming can be completed smoothly at night, I will not spend the night in Shishi."
"It was late at night when the filming was finished, right?"
Xu Kun frowned and said, "It's not safe for you to drive by yourself this late at night...Did something happen back home?"
"No, in addition to greenhouse vegetables, I also built ten acres of grape sheds at the county's suggestion. Don't you think it's time to grow vegetables and fruits? I have to rush back and find people in advance."
Fruit and vegetables are to remove parts of grape fruits that are too dense at the early stage of development to ensure that the grapes are full and moist when they are mature.
This is a very important and most troublesome process.
Xu Kun couldn't stop him, so he could only tell Zhang Yong to call him when he got home to report that he was safe.
I couldn't help but talk about the phone. Not long after he finished talking, Xu Kun's cell phone rang.
I took it out and saw that the caller ID read: Big Mouth Elk.
After answering the phone, Xu Kun joked: "Isn't this our most popular third female? Why do you have time to call me today?"
During the intermission on the top of the water tower, Li Xiaolu once laughed at Lu Liting, saying that even a third female lead had the nerve to take advantage of the popularity of "Once Upon a Time".
It was purely because of "Fairy Tale of Youth" that it was overshadowed by Shi Xiaolong's "Once Upon a Time in Youth".
As a result, "Young Zhang Sanfeng" became a hit after it was aired on a local station at the end of April, and she began to consider herself the most popular female lead. Every day, she hopes that "Young San Feng" will be broadcast on the stars as soon as possible.
“Bah, ivory cannot come out of a dog’s mouth!”
Li Xiaolu has long been accustomed to fighting with Xu Kun. She just cursed and returned to the topic: "Big news, big news, Liu Xiaoqing is under investigation!"
"What?"
Xu Kun was a little confused at first, and then blurted out: "Is it because of tax evasion?"
"Huh? You already know?"
Li Xiaolu was very surprised. She had just received the news. Xu Kun was far away in Shishi. How could he have heard about it earlier than him?
Of course Xu Kun knew about it in his previous life. His impression of this matter was far less profound than that of a certain toothpick. It had even been so long ago that he forgot the specific time.
Thinking that there will be X 800 million, X Yin and Yang, etc. in the future, Xu Kun kindly reminded: "You have to grasp this aspect well, don't follow Liu Xiaoqing's footsteps."
"Hey, take care of yourself first!"
Li Xiaolu said disdainfully: "Liu Xiaoqing has a big reputation and offended people with his high profile, so he was investigated - besides, it's just an investigation now, not an arrest."
"They'll be caught."
"How do you know?"
Not only did I know that, but I also knew that she was probably sentenced to more than a year.
After talking about the big news, Li Xiaolu deliberately mentioned that she and Li Chen went out to play together before. Li Chen gave her a heart-shaped stone and introduced her to a little sister in the industry.
Xu Kun didn't answer the question at all. Instead, he asked the little sister if she was pretty and had a hot body. Li Xiaolu was so angry that she hung up the phone.
Tsk~
Qibele is still not very good, even though he gave me a heart-shaped stone, Li Xiaolu is still thinking about herself.
Zha Kun was complacent for a moment, then thought about Liu Xiaoqing's tax evasion. He recalled that he seemed to have never paid taxes since he started working as an actor.
After all, the payment was made directly in cash every time, and the crew never mentioned whether it was after-tax income.
It seems that if you have the chance, you should go to the tax bureau to inquire. Otherwise, it would be a great loss if your bright future is ruined due to tax evasion.
