Chapter 59: Tit for Tat
Although the filming of Han Yueping's confession scene only lasted for more than three hours, these three hours brought Xu Kun more fatigue than a week of continuous filming on the set of "Thirteen Princesses" Still serious.
At first, the cold sweat on his head was caused by saline solution, but later it gradually became real.
This is not only due to the hot weather in late July, but also due to too much pressure.
A supporting actor with no background not only wants to change the play, but also has to bring the entire crew together to polish the details. This is by no means an easy thing to do.
It's okay if it succeeds, but if it fails...
Not only will it be criticized by a lot of people on the set, it will at least become a laughing stock, and it may even spread and become a laughing stock in the circle.
Fortunately, Xu Kun held on!
When he stood up from the interrogation chair, his legs were numb, but his spirit was as relaxed as ever.
He first walked up to Gao Qunshu and solemnly thanked him: "Director Gao, thank you for trusting me."
Without Gao Qunshu's support, given the tight budget of the crew, it would have been impossible for a supporting actor to waste so much film, so much time, and so much manpower.
Gao Qunshu reached out and squeezed Xu Kun's shoulder, and smiled: "I am the one who should say thank you."
Then, he said: "Go back and have a rest quickly. Remember to drink more salt water."
Xu Kun agreed, turned around and thanked the production director Wang Baode [Feng Biao], and finally Li Yixiang.
But when he walked towards Li Yixiang, he was stopped by Jiang Shan pulling Liu Weiwei.
"Okay, boy, that smile is amazing!"
Jiang Shan punched Xu Kun on the shoulder, her eyes filled with admiration.
Although Xu Kun left a good first impression on her at first, Jiang Shan just regarded him as a somewhat active little brother in the crew.
Until just now, I watched Xu Kun as if he was self-abuse, trying again and again, practicing little by little, and finally carving out strong emotions that are worth a thousand words on his face, body, and spiritual level.
Jiang Shan finally began to face up to Xu Kun's strength and potential as an actor.
The same goes for Liu Weiwei next to her.
Xu Kun pretended to be in pain, covered his shoulders and said modestly, "It's all thanks to Brother Li's teachings."
If Li Yixiang hadn't stood firmly on his side and helped with adjustments and guidance, Xu Kun would have been unable to figure it out until "Conquest" was completed.
To this end, Li Yixiang also rented a digital camera to record Xu Kun's final results. It was precisely because of this image as evidence that Xu Kun, with the help of Wang Baode, successfully convinced Gao Qunshu.
Hearing Xu Kun's words, Li Yixiang waved his hand from behind and said: "The main thing is that you have this heart."
Jiang Shan smiled and said: "You two, please stop flattering each other - let's go and have a barbecue at Jinxiangyuan tonight, sister's treat!"
Then he added: "I have to shock Honglei. If I don't work hard, I will be surpassed by my little brother."
"Don't!"
Xu Kun waved his hands hurriedly: "Sister Jiang, please don't hang me on the fire for taking the exam. I am not as good as Brother Li and Brother Lei of Zhao Hong."
"This is now, and the future will be in the future. If you can maintain this enthusiasm for research, Honglei dare not say, you will definitely be more famous than Li Yixiang in the future."
"No, no, no."
Xu Kun became more and more frightened: "Sister, we don't joke like this, I..."
"Why are you so anxious? I didn't say your acting skills were better than his."
Jiang Shan rolled her eyes and motioned for Xu Kun, Liu Weiwei, and Li Yixiang to follow her out, while explaining: "Yixiang's play is known for its three words of 'steadiness, accuracy, and precision'. If it continues like this, In the future, he will probably be the one with the highest acting achievements among you.
But he also has his own problems, that is, he lacks a bit of ruggedness and the energy to stand out, which means that most of the time, he will not be the most eye-catching presence in the play.
Even if his performance is more worthy of careful consideration, movies and television are inherently things performed by insiders for outsiders, and most viewers are still more likely to be attracted by eye-catching characters. "
To put it bluntly, Li Yixiang belongs to the type that is popular but not popular.
Jiang Shan changed the topic and began to evaluate Xu Kun again: "Xiao Xu, although you are still a little behind on your temper now, the wild energy in you is incomparable to Li Yixiang..." "Neither can I?"
At this time, a ruffian voice came from the side.
Only then did everyone realize that Sun Honglei was leaning against the corridor wall, holding a cigarette and squinting at everyone.
Because he learned from Gao Qunshu in advance that Xu Kun's scene today was particularly impactful, Sun Honglei was afraid that it would affect his subsequent performance, so he deliberately avoided it.
But he couldn't help but want to know the result, so he ran to the corridor outside to wait.
"Brother Honglei."
"Brother Honglei."
Xu Kun and Li Yixiang hurriedly greeted Sun Honglei, but Liu Weiwei turned her head and looked away.
"Don't say it."
Jiang Shan thought about it for a while, then commented seriously: "If you think about it carefully, you and Xiao Xu really have a lot in common. They both have a reckless attitude, but his acting skills are not as good as yours, and he usually hides things deeper than you. It’s even more cruel when exposed.”
When Xu Kun said this in front of Sun Honglei, she didn't know whether she was flattering herself or trying to flatter herself.
Sun Honglei narrowed his eyes and said with a dangerous expression: "Then shouldn't I take precautions and reduce the pressure of competition in the future?"
"Haha~"
Jiang Shan said sarcastically, half-truthfully: "Then you shouldn't go after Gong Li. You should go after Lao Mouzi directly. By then, it will only take one sentence to ban Xiao Xu."
Regarding Ding Jiali's matter, most actresses over the age of 35 will be a bit sad and sad, and Jiang Shan is no exception.
In the entire crew, she was the only one who dared to mention this matter frankly.
"Hahaha~"
Sun Honglei laughed loudly, stepped forward and put his arms around Xu Kun's shoulders and said: "This circle is not big, but it can accommodate two Sun Honglei with no problem - Kun'er, don't you think so?"
"That's for sure!"
Xu Kun nodded heavily: "Even if I become famous in the future, I will still admit that you were my eldest brother, Xu Kun."
After hearing the conversation between the two, Liu Weiwei, who originally turned to look to the side, couldn't help but widen his eyes and look at Xu Kun.
On the surface, Sun Honglei's words meant that the entertainment industry can accommodate two actors of the same type, but in fact, they were domineeringly declaring that this track belonged to him, Sun Honglei, and the rest were at best his imitators.
Xu Kun's response seemed to be echoing Sun Honglei's words, but in fact he was saying: In the eyes of others from now on, your biggest label may be that you played the role of my Xu Kun's eldest brother.
Liu Weiwei didn't expect this at all, and she didn't dare to think about it.
In Liu Weiwei's view, the status gap between Xu Kun and Sun Honglei is about the same as that between her and Jiang Shan. In front of Jiang Shan, let alone being tit-for-tat, she even has to be cautious when speaking.
But Sun Honglei didn't find it strange. After all, Xu Kun had deliberately challenged himself when he was in the capital. Now it's just the same lineage.
"Hahaha~"
He immediately laughed three more times, let go of Xu Kun and waved his hand: "Since you call me big brother, I, as the brother, have to show my appreciation - let's go, Jinxiangyuan BBQ, enough lamb chops!"
"What are you doing, do you want to argue with me?"
Jiang Shan was unhappy now and immediately started arguing with Sun Honglei.
Xu Kun took two steps behind, and Liu Weiwei hesitated for a moment, then quietly left Jiang Shan, and naturally walked with Xu Kun.
When Li Yixiang saw this, he immediately caught up with Sun Honglei and Jiang Shan.
