Chapter 172 My Friend Mr. Dick
Although Xu Kun's 'extreme' remarks were reprinted by several tabloids and even caused some commotion on the Internet, he was not even a fish in this public opinion war. Not really, just a shrimp at most.
Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Guoli, Ge You, Chen Baoguo, Chen Daoming...
A total of more than 40 of the mainland's most famous directors and actors jointly expressed their condemnation.
Under such circumstances, Zhang Weijian and Xie Tingfeng rushed to the hospital to visit Wang Bozhao.
Wang Jing, who had originally made rude remarks, relented and held another press conference to issue a public apology.
This incident ended with a great victory for the mainland film and television industry. However, among the three perpetrators, the only one who was really unlucky was Zhang Weijian. Who told him that his background was not strong enough.
But these have nothing to do with Xu Kun. He has been working hard on filming since he started to talk nonsense.
The camera starts at 8:30 in the morning and can only rest at 10:30 in the evening. I can rest for a while when others are not filming. Xu Kun, the protagonist, basically works continuously. From time to time, I have to go to Ningjing to work overtime to relax her body and mind.
Even though our Brother Kun's body was made of iron, he was tortured to the point of ecstasy.
By October 6, Xu Kun couldn't bear it any longer, so he approached director Feng Xiaoning and asked for three days of personal leave.
He does have something to do. LeTV Video Network will be officially launched on October 8. On the day of the launch, Jia Yueting is planning to hold a modest opening ceremony.
Xu Kun, a shareholder of LeTV, was naturally invited to attend.
Originally, Xu Kun didn't plan to go, but he was really tired, so he simply took three days off to take a chance to relax.
"Take a look, take a look."
Xu Kun patted his face and said: "It's already swollen, and you can't see it in a photo - I've already made a plan. I'll sleep together when I go, sleep together when I come back, and take some anti-inflammatory medicine. I’ll definitely be full of energy when I get back to the set!”
Director Feng Xiaoning said in a serious tone: "What are you afraid of about swelling? It was just the right time to shoot the scene where Zhu Yuanzhang has just become emperor and his heart is swelling."
Xu Kun: "..."
Combined with the swollen heart, is it just that the face is puffy and fat?
"Haha, I'm just teasing you."
Director Feng Xiaoning laughed, patted Xu Kun on the shoulder and said, "Thanks to you and Ning Jing's tacit understanding, our progress is faster than expected. You have taken a few days off, so the crew can adjust the pace."
Xu Kun breathed a sigh of relief. If Feng Xiaoning did not allow leave, he really had no other choice.
But why do you feel that there is something in Director Feng’s words ‘tacit understanding’?
Could he have discovered something?
But it doesn’t matter, they are just a couple on the set anyway. Even if it is revealed later, it will just be one more scandal on the basis of "Two Flying Swallows".
After coming out of the director's room, Xu Kun immediately called Wang Peng and asked him to book a train ticket for him that would leave in the early morning.
Flying is naturally the fastest way, but Xu Kun is actually not in that much of a hurry. He just wants to catch up on some sleep on the way back and forth - if he returns to the capital early, he may not have time to sleep for a long time.
After making the call and returning to his room, Xu Kun simply tidied up. Suddenly he remembered something, so he opened the door again and went out. He looked around in the corridor for a while, and then walked into Ningjing's guest room with ease.
Because he came and went so often, Ningjing didn't bother to lock the door at night.
"Hey~ My change of underwear..."
After entering the door, he was halfway through talking when he suddenly found Ning Jing holding up his mobile phone and talking to someone.
Xu Kun's movements froze, and he immediately pressed his body next to the TV, holding his throat and pretending to be a shrew with a loud voice: "You ask me about your underwear? From now on, we all have to do our own business, I only wash my and Children’s…”
He was secretly proud of his wit when he saw Ning Jing glance back at him, and then calmly said into the microphone: "It's my friend Dick here."
Xu Kun: "..."
I'm so good at acting!
"Who is Dick, you ask?"
Ning Jing smiled, but there was no smile on his face: "I gave him this name. Who do you think he is?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Jing took the phone away, and then a series of "Fake" came out - actually, they were not all "Fake", mainly Xu Kun could understand this word. It wasn't until a beeping hang-up sound came from the receiver that Xu Kun asked tentatively: "Your husband?"
"Soon it won't be."
Ning Jing threw her phone on the bed, her face looking both tired and sad, but also relieved.
Xu Kun didn't know what to say for a moment. Although the two mainly worked as kidney transplants, they occasionally talked with each other, so the story between Ning Jing and Paul was not unfamiliar to them.
In the final analysis, the root cause of their unhappy marriage lies with Ning Jing. If she hadn't been angry for a while, this failed transnational marriage would never have happened.
But Xu Kun couldn't poke her heart with the truth when she was depressed, right?
In the end, I could only pretend to be curious and ask: "What does Dick mean?"
"It's a temporary name I gave you—or a nickname."
After Ning Jing finished speaking, he saw that Xu Kun was still a little confused, so he walked over and grabbed a handle directly, and explained: "In English, Dick and this thing are homophones."
Xu Kun understood now.
But now that the lesson has been understood, isn’t it a bit inappropriate to still hold on to the ‘teaching aids’?
As soon as Xu Kun was about to speak, his cell phone rang in his pocket. He avoided Ning Jing's tossing hands, took out his cell phone and put it to his ear. However, it turned out that Wang Peng had already booked a soft sleeper for Xu Kun through his connections. Just rush there before 1:30 in the morning to pick up your tickets.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Kun shrugged and said, "You heard it too. I have to leave before 12 o'clock, otherwise I won't be able to catch the train."
"Isn't there still more than an hour?"
But Ning Jing still refused to let go, and his movements became bigger and bigger.
"Then what..."
"Shh~"
Ning Jing made a silent gesture towards Xu Kun and said without any doubt: "I don't want to hear Xu Kun talk now, I just want my friend Mr. Dick."
In fact, if you take the word "kun" apart, it's not much different.
In the end, it took Xu Kun an hour and eight minutes to successfully prove that Mr. Dick was not a wasted reputation. He spent another five minutes taking a combat bath, and then hurried to the train station.
Fortunately, I finally caught up.
Xu Kun slept soundly all the way to the capital. If the buddy in the lower bunk hadn't reminded him, he would have been able to sleep until the train started again.
After leaving the station sleepily, Xu Kun was thinking about calling Jia Yueting and asking him where the pick-up car was parked, when he suddenly received a call from Zeng Lai.
Xu Kun was stunned at first, and then his face darkened.
What kind of plane is this guy Lao Jia doing?
After picking up the phone, as expected, it was Zeng Lai who came to greet me at the station.
"Sister Zeng, why is it you?"
Xu Kun asked half-seriously.
"As the heroine of 'Sky Sword', I have also received an invitation from Mr. Jia, and I will appear with you tomorrow."
"What else is there to do but not to show up?"
Xu Kun said speechlessly: "We are opening for business, not walking on the red carpet at a film festival."
After a pause, he simply made his words clear: "Sister Zeng, you should also know what kind of person I am. Do you think we are so... suitable?"
"I have no idea."
Zeng Lai answered calmly: "If I knew, I wouldn't be in such a bad state."
After a pause, he added another explanation: "It seems that the Tang people wanted us to come together this time, and Mr. Jia was just following the trend."
What does Tang people mean?
What kind of airplane does Cai Yinong want to build?
