Chapter 97 Butterfly Wings
Late April, Zhang Yong’s home in RY County.
Looking at the game completion screen on his laptop, Xu Kun was satisfied but also a little disappointed.
After "The Young Emperor" was officially completed, he returned to his hometown in the county with his newly purchased laptop and started his "holiday" life.
A lot of things happened during this period. For the common people, the biggest impact was naturally on YQ - other provinces and cities may not feel it so strongly, but as a moat, everyone must be vigilant.
For the entertainment industry, the most explosive news is the suicide of Zhang Guorong on April 1.
But unlike others, Xu Kun had a general impression of Zhang due to the influence of Lu Liping, so he didn't pay much attention to this matter.
Staying in his hometown these days, his biggest entertainment is computer games. First, he played "New Legend of Sword and Fairy" again in order to clear the animation, and then "New Swordsman Love", "Qin Shang", "Wind and Cloud", "Sword and Sword" "The Record of Seal of Demons".
Because most of his time was spent on practicing and honing his acting skills, Xiao two months had only cleared these five games.
After finishing reading the storyline of "Sword and Demon Sealing Record", Xu Kun flipped through the remaining "Xuanyuan Sword" 3 and 4, as well as "Diablo 2" and "Tai Ge Li Zhi Chuan 4", but he couldn't mention it for a while. Get interested.
So he simply went to the courtyard to sharpen his muscles and watch the latest news on TV.
This TV was specially bought by Zhang Yong and placed on the porch outside. It was usually covered with a cloth. It would only be turned on as background sound when Xu Kun was practicing martial arts in the courtyard.
It was late April, and YQ reports were overwhelming Beijing and Taiwan. According to the feedback from Bao Qiang, Chen Xuebin and others, people in the city were already panicking.
In order to prevent SARS from continuing to spread, news of local blockades also spread, and many migrant workers left Beijing one after another. Because Hebei's inspections were stricter than those in Beijing, many people could only walk back to their hometowns along railways and highways.
Bao Qiang regretted not listening to Xu Kun's advice. Now there are no film crews around the capital. He has not been able to get a job for seven or eight days, so he can only sit in a rented house and eat nothing.
Deng Chao did not return to Beijing early, but it was not because of Xu Kun's warning, but because of an accident at home - Deng Chao did not let the slightest leak, Xu Kun heard about it from Hao Lei.
Hao Lei didn't know exactly what the accident was. She only vaguely guessed that it had something to do with the eldest sister who supported Deng Chao in school.
Xu Kun is now beyond his reach and can only wait until they meet in the capital later to inquire about the truth.
But he said that he was exercising his strength with stone locks and listening to the news on TV when he saw Zhang Yong coming in from the outside in a hurry and said excitedly: "Kun'er, Kun'er, the suggestion you made was passed by the county. The county leaders And let us be consultants!”
Because he successfully invited Ge You and his son to represent him, Zhang Yong is now as comfortable as a duck in water in his hometown county.
After Xu Kun returned to his hometown, he entrusted Zhang Yong to do two things. One was to send a message to his parents and relatives for him, telling them to keep their tails between their legs.
Sometimes it's not a bad thing to have a bad reputation. At least Xu Kun is very intimidating among relatives.
After hearing that the capital was likely to be closed down two days ago, Xu Kun asked Zhang Yong, a newly minted deputy to the National People's Congress, to propose to the county that once there were signs of a partial lockdown in the capital, a convoy would be organized to deliver 'safe food' to the capital. '.
There is probably no shortage of rice, flour, grains and oils in the capital, but there will definitely be a shortage of fresh vegetables.
This was not only a good opportunity to present political achievements to the county leaders, but also a good opportunity to make the greenhouse vegetables in my hometown famous. Naturally, the county would not miss it and immediately mobilized at an unprecedented speed.
Xu Kun and Zhang Yong, who proposed the initiative, were also brought in and given the title of ‘consultants’.
Xu Kun is not a 'consultant' for nothing. Having experienced the COVID-19 for three years, he is more familiar with epidemic prevention measures than most people in this era. Under his advice, the epidemic prevention standards of the food delivery fleet are higher than those currently implemented in the capital. .
So at the end of April, the vegetable transport convoy organized by RY County became the first batch of teams allowed to enter Beijing for assistance.
Xu Kun also volunteered to escort the car.
Firstly, he hopes to change his reputation in his hometown through performance. Secondly, he also wants to bring some benefits to his friends and acquaintances in the capital for both public and private reasons.
The first is naturally the Ge family. This was not his decision, but planned by the county from the beginning. After all, the Ge family and his son are the spokespersons for greenhouse vegetables in the county, and they must take care of both emotions and reasons.
Xu Kun personally delivered a truck of vegetables to his door, which moved the old man so much that he even said that he was from his hometown.
Relatives, friends and old friends in Beiying Community also benefited from the honor. At the same time, some caring people also remembered Xu Kun, the 'younger generation' of the Ge family.
In addition to the Ge family, Baoqiang's Xu Kun also gave some gifts, but with the help of Boss Lin and his wife, Baoqiang was actually not short of food.
Then there are Chen Xuebin, Lu Liping, Gao Qunshu, Li Yang, Li Yixiang, Li Fazeng, Li Jianyi, Hao Lei and others who have good relationships.
Gao Qunshu and Liu Weiwei lived together. When they met Xu Kun, they told him with mixed emotions that "Conquest" had begun to be preheated on Tianjin Satellite TV and would be officially broadcast on May 10th.
It can be seen that he is both happy and frustrated. He is happy that all his hard work has not been in vain, but he is frustrated that his hard work has been in vain and he has not made much money at all.
Huo Siyan had already joined the crew of "Ignition 2" at this time. However, due to the YQ incident, the crew had been forced to stop work and could not be separated; the filming could not be completed.
Xu Kun deliberately weighed several hundred kilograms of vegetables and did enough favors for Huo Siyan on the set.
Li Xiaolu happened to be out of town, so she didn't catch up with Xu's highlight moment.
When he contacted Director Liu Heng, Xu Kun originally thought of leaving a hundred pounds of vegetables for Director Liu to express his feelings. Unexpectedly, when Director Liu answered the phone, he suddenly became excited and asked how big a role Xu Kun could take.
You can tell from his tone that what he needs is definitely not a small amount.
Is this Director Liu trying to be a second-rate dealer?
Xu Kun didn't dare to give a guarantee and just said vaguely: "How big a decision I can make depends on the specific matter."
Liu Heng calmed down a little and talked about the troubles he had encountered recently.
But it turned out to be the same as what Li Xiaolu had learned. Because of the conspiracy against the Tatar Qing ancestors, "The Young Emperor" was either overtly or covertly boycotted by CCTV, Beijing TV, and even Tianjin TV.
Liu Heng's connections are all in the Beijing circle. If there is no way to break the situation, this "Young Emperor" may have to be premiered on a local station - originally, this drama was broadcast on the public channel of Guangdong TV Station .
If this is the case, whether the investment can be earned back is another matter. The main thing is that Liu's face will be greatly humiliated.
"Is this important?"
Xu Kun wondered: "When I watch other dramas, don't they have similar plots?"
"It's mainly the scene between Wu Liangfu and Tong Layue. The man most admired by the Manchu people is Kangxi..."
When Director Liu said this, Li Jianyi's obscene lines of 'Mother, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, feed my empress' suddenly came to Xu Kun's mind again.
Thinking about it this way, it was indeed the first time in "The Young Emperor" that Kangxi saw his biological mother having sex with an old eunuch.
Xu Kun was also smart and immediately understood what Liu Heng meant: "Do you want to get a few carts of vegetables and knock on the door of CCTV or Beijing TV?"
Liu Heng said: "Don't even think about CCTV. Beijing and Taiwan should have hope."
"That works!"
After confirming that he was delivering food to the TV station, Xu Kun immediately agreed happily: "But I'm afraid this first batch won't be able to distribute so much. I'll discuss it with the county later and send it out from the second batch - this can also be regarded as a gift to the county." It’s advertised, so it shouldn’t be a big problem.”
