Chapter 108: One More Game
"This……"
After hearing Li Yixiang's request, Xu Kun suddenly looked embarrassed. He smacked his lips and said, "Brother Li, actually I wanted to ask my sister-in-law to play the role of Fire Phoenix. There is a lot of drama in Fire Phoenix. Although she is a member of the Blood Moon Cult, she silently sacrifices herself because she falls in love with Xiao Ting. In the end, she sees through Xiao Ting's identity as King Abiluo and is left to die by Xiao Ting..."
"Kun'er."
Li Yixiang said excitedly: "You should have heard about the situations of my classmates. Zhang Ziyi is not to be mentioned. Qin Hailu won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress in 2000. Mei Ting's "Don't Talk to Strangers" will be popular for ten years!
Has she ever been here? The only hit drama she starred in was a second female lead. Those people were not as famous as her in school! Even if she said she didn’t care, how could she really not care? ! "
"Ah~"
Seeing Li Yixiang getting more and more excited, Xu Kun sighed helplessly. Brother Li had helped him a lot before, teaching him acting skills, introducing him to roles, and they also experienced life and death together in the mine.
This was the first time he took the initiative to ask for help from me. Given the friendship between the two brothers, if he asked someone else for the heroine, Xu Kun would definitely not object.
But I have been here...
"Brother Li, our drama has kissing scenes and sex scenes, and we also specially added a scene where Tang Ruoxuan takes a bath while Xiao Ting stands by her side - Xiao Ting is blind, but I am not."
This bathing scene was proposed by Xu Kun, and the inspiration naturally came from "The Legend of Sword and Fairy". The reason why he wanted Huo Siyan to play the leading female role was that he knew that this woman would do anything to become famous.
Li Yixiang had also read the script. When he heard Xu Kun mention the bathing scene, his throat moved unconsciously twice and a conflicted look appeared on his face.
Seeing this, Xu Kun gave another fatal blow: "How far have you and your sister-in-law come now? Aren't all the chewing gums in vain?"
Li Yixiang's expression changed again, and after a long while he stammered, "At least we have held hands..."
Xu Kun couldn't help but roll his eyes. This person was really a hopeless case. If it were him, Zeng Lai would have rushed to the hospital for a pregnancy check-up by now and would have been able to get married before the New Year with a baby.
Raising his hand and patting Li Yixiang on the shoulder, Xu Kun stood up and took out the script of Fire Phoenix from the drawer of the coffee table, placed it in front of Li Yixiang and said, "A royal sister, infatuated, risking her life to save Tang Ruoxuan for Xiao Ting, and finally died at the hands of the person she loved. Although she is not the heroine, her character is still very likable and very suitable for sister-in-law to play."
Li Yixiang looked at the script, first extended his hand, then retracted it, his expression changing over and over, and finally gritted his teeth and pushed the script in front of Xu Kun, saying with red eyes: "Kun'er, I beg you, if you have any problems in the future, I will definitely..."
"Stop it, stop it."
Xu Kun interrupted him and said helplessly, "We brothers don't need to talk about this. The heroine can be my sister-in-law, but I have to say something ugly in advance. You know how this crew was put together. If it really goes wrong, I estimate that it may take ten or eight years to recover, so I definitely can't accommodate my sister-in-law..."
Having said this, Xu Kun deliberately stopped talking. He saw that although Li Yixiang looked conflicted, he finally gritted his teeth and said nothing.
He sighed, then took out the heroine's script and handed it to Li Yixiang.
Li Yixiang slowly stretched out his hand, then suddenly grabbed it, stood up and said, "Kun'er, I won't say thank you, we won't come back until we're drunk!"
Perhaps thinking of the scene that happened to Zeng Lai after he saw the script, he turned around and rushed out impatiently.
"Ah~"
Xu Kun looked at the 'Fire Phoenix' on the table and began to worry. In fact, it was not a big problem for Zeng Lai to play Tang Ruoxuan. After all, Tang Ruoxuan's overall personality was a relatively mature type, and it was not difficult to shape her into a royal sister with a little modification.
The difficult part is how to choose the Fire Phoenix.
It was not difficult to cast the role of the Fire Phoenix. Even if Zeng Lai was unwilling to play the role, the entertainment industry could come up with a bunch of suitable candidates.
But now that Zeng Lai has taken on the role of the female lead, things have become a bit troublesome.
Because as soon as the Fire Phoenix appeared in the play, she mocked Tang Ruoxuan as an underdeveloped little girl - but with that figure and facial features, how can she look like a little girl? !
[In fact, this scene was also a failure in the original version. After all, Tang Ruoxuan in the original version looked much older than Fire Phoenix.]
Change, it has to be changed! Xu Kun thought that the comparison between the queen and the girl was not possible, but he could make it ice and fire, let Zeng Lai act more cold and beautiful, and find a brighter Fire Phoenix.
The line 'underdeveloped little girl' was changed to 'cold and fierce woman' - Tang Ruoxuan was jealous at the time, so her face naturally didn't look very good.
As for the bathing scene...
Or just move it to the Fire Phoenix?
Although Xu Kun was a lustful man, deep down he didn't really take women seriously. He believed that brothers are like limbs and women are like clothes - of course, a wife and a woman are different.
He shared his idea with Liu Haibo, Chen Xuebin, Chen Luoping, Du Liang, Xu Yiling and others.
After everyone discussed it, they finally unanimously decided to add another bathing scene, one in the pool and the other in the bathtub. The audience will definitely love it!
Xu Kun: “…”
Xu Kun could ignore other people's suggestions, but since Chen Xuebin was firmly opposed to deleting the heroine's bathing scene, he had no choice but to consider it.
"Kun'er."
Chen Xuebin advised earnestly: "I know you are a man of honor, but this is a 20 million RMB production. We must first ensure the ratings and sales. Otherwise, if it fails, you will be too embarrassed to even go back home!
Besides, Li Yixiang had already read the book. He came to us on his own initiative. Can he really blame us?"
Xu Kun and Li Yixiang are brothers, but Chen Xuebin is not familiar with Li Yixiang, and it is even more impossible for him to spoil Li Yixiang's girlfriend.
And what he said does make sense. This is a big production with a budget of 20 million. It involves personal connections and a lot of debt [betting agreement with my hometown]. If it really goes wrong...
Just as Chen Xuebin finished his persuasion, Du Liang came to the door alone and said that he was afraid he would not be able to help in any way in the future because he was about to prepare for the filming of another drama.
"This is a good thing!"
Xu Kun asked with a smile: "You have to be more careful this time. Don't let the other party plot against you again, just like in Bloody Romance."
"rest assured."
Du Liang immediately glared and said, "If Hairun dares to cheat me again, I will fight with Liu Yanming!"
Xu Kun: “…”
Why is it still Hairun?
It is said that every failure makes one wiser, but in Duliang, why is it that he refuses to turn back even when he hits a wall?
"Hey~"
Du Liang said disapprovingly, "This is called a blessing in disguise. They cheated me in Blood Romance, so they want to make up for it this time. They are planning to let me participate in many things, including casting."
As he spoke, he patted Xu Kun's shoulder meaningfully and said, "Personal preferences are important, but you have to distinguish the priorities. For me, being able to film the script completely is more important than anything else!"
Got~
No wonder he made a special trip here, it turned out he was waiting for me.
Forget it, it’s just a bathing scene. Brother Li himself doesn’t care, so why should we worry about it for him?
