Chapter 67: Three Poor Children
After a day of "entanglement" with Li Jianyi, who had been repeatedly defeated and persevered, Xu Kun felt that he had gained a lot. On the way back by bus, he was still reciting his lines silently, which made everyone around him noisy. I thought I was experiencing mental illness.
After getting off the car at Beishatan, and walking around to the entrance of the alley, Xu Kun saw Chen Xuebin's broken bread at a glance.
Xu Kun was a little surprised at first, but then he saw through the window that there were more seats in the back row than usual, and he immediately understood what was going on.
Tsk~
No wonder he didn’t go to the crew to network and find a way out today. It turned out that he had found a potential star.
Returning to the courtyard, as soon as I entered the door, I heard Chen Xuebin in the Baoqiang House, enthusiastically planning to go to a restaurant.
"Brother Chen~"
Xu Kun walked to the pool, washed his face with cold water, and said loudly: "It's hard to forget the old ones when there are new people. I was stupidly waiting for you to pick me up in Nanluogu Lane."
When Chen Xuebin heard Xu Kun's voice, he hurriedly came out of the security room and said, "I've forgotten that no one dares to forget you. Come on, come on, you'll be lucky, I've reserved four seats early in the morning!"
"I won't go. I'm tired. Just quit."
Xu Kun lazily gave three consecutive strokes, and then lowered his voice and said: "Brother Chen, your licking is a bit too much. You don't have to let people look down on us."
This meal was obviously for the fourth person, Deng Chao.
Even though Deng Chao is worse off than Baoqiang now, he is from a serious academic background and can fly up branches and become a phoenix when he gets the chance - and with Chen Xuebin's cleverness, seeing Xu Kun's arrangements for Deng Chao, he probably I had already guessed that Deng Chao had been selected by the crew.
Therefore, Chen Xuebin even put aside his main business for the time being, hoping to seize this potential stock.
But he obviously used too much force, lost his sense of proportion, and lost his identity - of course, Chen Xuebin may not feel that he has any identity in front of Deng Chao.
Chen Xuebin wanted to explain a few words, but Xu Kun simply pushed and pushed him out.
"Remember to sleep head down at night and control the water in your head."
After saying this, Xu Kun locked the courtyard door.
At this time, Deng Chao and Bao Qiang also walked out of the back room. Seeing this scene, they looked at each other and hesitated to speak.
"It's okay."
Xu Kun shook his hand that was still dripping, and walked towards his house, saying: "Old Chen is not a bad person, but he wants to make progress too much. He wants to squeeze out melatonin when he catches a toad, let alone meet him. You have such potential.”
Bao Qiang took a few steps and took out the key first and opened the door for Xu Kun. Although he moved next door, he still kept the key to the house. Similarly, Xu Kun also had the key to his house.
Xu Kun came in and wiped his hands and face with a towel, then asked Deng Chao, "How are you today?"
Deng Chao was obviously more accustomed to this kind of casual way of getting along, and said with a smile: "I couldn't let it go. Bao Qiang said that if I reported the name of the Chinese drama, I might be able to talk about 200 a day, but in the end I still chose 80. "
"80 is quite a lot."
Xu Kun said to Bao Qiang again: "Go ahead and prepare two plates of cold dishes to go with the wine, and let Brother Lin make three bowls of braised cakes - I want mung bean sprouts."
"Okay~"
Baoqiang agreed and walked out.
Seeing that Deng Chao was a little embarrassed, Xu Kun greeted him casually: "It's just a cake. It's not like you can't afford it - come on, follow me in to move the table."
Deng Chao thought about it. He couldn't afford to pay back the Donglaishun sheep and scorpions for the time being, but he could still pay back the favor with a meal of braised pancakes, and he immediately felt a lot more relaxed.
The two moved the table and chairs under the persimmon tree. Xu Kun dug out two bottles of Niulanshan from under the bed and asked casually: "How did Lao Chen fool you here before?"
"It's not Brother Chen."
Deng Chao took the initiative to wash the wine glass and squatted in front of the sink and explained: "Bao Qiang dragged me here. I live a bit far from the Beijing Film Studio. I have a job tomorrow and I have to rush there early in the morning. So Baoqiang asked me to stay here for one night.”
"This boy."
Xu Kun unscrewed Niulanshan, shook his head and said, "One night is not enough. He probably wants to stay here."
Baoqiang just happened to come back with cold dishes, and while putting them on the table, he said with a naive smile: "Brother Chao is so good at acting, I just want to learn more from Brother Chao." "Shit, you just want to invite someone to share the house!"
Xu Kun revealed it disdainfully.
Baoqiang scratched his head naively and said, "I used to live in a basement with an eight-person room. The room was so clean that I wasn't used to it. Besides, it would be a waste to leave such a big room empty."
After saying that, he smiled sheepishly at Deng Chao.
When Deng Chaogang came to this small courtyard, he actually felt a little uncomfortable. Wang Baoqiang, an unspectacular little troupe actor, could live in such a place. He was born in a Chinese opera class, but he could only afford a rent of 280 yuan a month. of illegally built shacks.
Now that I heard that Baoqiang used to live in the basement with others, Deng Chao became more curious about the origins and experiences of the two people in front of him.
Seeing that he wanted to ask but was too embarrassed to ask, Xu Kun simply told Baoqiang's deeds while Baoqiang was serving the cakes.
After hearing Bao Qiang's experience, Deng Chao couldn't help but open up his chat box and pour out his own bitter water.
His hometown is in Jiangxi. In fact, his parents' jobs are pretty good, and they both have stable jobs locally.
But because it was a reorganized family, the father brought the eldest brother and the second sister, and the mother brought the eldest sister. Together with Deng Chao, the product of a second marriage, the family was overwhelmed by the four children.
When he first went to school, he relied on his eldest sister to help pay for the tuition, so since his junior year, he refused to take any more money from his family, and even took the initiative to send back the pay for his guest appearances, so that his parents and eldest sister could make up for the debt they owed over the years. A shortfall.
Seeing tears in Deng Chao's eyes when he talked about being emotional, Baoqiang wanted to comfort him, but looked at Xu Kun opposite and endured it.
"Cry like a chicken."
Xu Kun rolled his eyes and said, "You and Baoqiang are doing well. At least you have caught up with a good father and mother."
Seeing Deng Chao's expression of surprise and confusion, Xu Kun did not shy away and briefly explained the situation at home.
"The day I dropped out of school at the age of fourteen, I considered myself an orphan!"
Deng Chao was speechless for a moment.
Wang Baoqiang saw that he was born in hardship, but he didn't expect that Xu Kun, his seemingly wealthy master, was also born in hardship - and his situation was so similar to his own, but even worse than his own.
When Deng Chao was 15 years old, he had a conflict with his parents because of his rebellion. He ran away from home and went to Guangzhou in anger. Naturally, he knew how difficult it is for a half-year-old child to survive alone.
At that time, it was his parents' perseverance in searching that finally saved him from his depravity.
And Xu Kun’s parents...
Looking at Xu Kun's performance, we can tell that he has probably been ignored all these years.
Deng Chao raised his wine glass and said to Xu Kun sincerely: "Then it's worse for you."
Xu Kun was chewing peanuts without paying any attention to him.
Deng Chao drank a sip for himself, put down the glass and suddenly thought: "You said that God brought us three poor children together. Could it be that there is some special idea? Why don't the three of us just become sworn sworn friends!"
"Do you think Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan are sworn brothers?"
Xu Kun sneered: "We've only known each other for a day and we became sworn friends. What if your kid is full of bad intentions and wants to take advantage of both of us?"
If he had been pushy and pushy, Deng Chao might have been unhappy, but when Xu Kun said it so straightforwardly, Deng Chao could only laugh and it was hard to argue with him.
Naturally, the joke about sworn sworn brothers fell into disuse.
After he was full of wine and food, Xu Kun took out a stack of cheat sheets from the cowhide bag, threw it to Bao Qiang and said: "Take some time to think about it carefully. This role is suitable for you, and you have more roles than I did." When I find a suitable opportunity, I’ll take you to the set to try it out.”
"What role is it?"
Deng Chao approached it curiously and found that the title read: Little Eunuch·Dula Wu.
