Chapter 115: Popularity Before It's Aired
"Uncle Ge, this matter has nothing to do with me!"
Xu Kun swore and swore again and again, and Ge You finally hung up the phone in doubt.
Ge You saw the report in the morning and originally wanted to contact Zhang Guoli directly, but he couldn't get through to Zhang Guoli and Deng Jie, so he had to contact Xu Kun instead to ask him what was going on between him and Tong Yao.
In fact, Xu Kun was also confused.
Because the third girl still hadn't been confirmed after the re-examination, he brainstormed with everyone again yesterday afternoon.
But it is rare to see young female stars known for their sexiness and beauty these days; most people are still flaunting the image of a pure, innocent girl or the girl next door.
There are a few porn stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan, but on the one hand, Xu Kun is prejudiced against Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, and on the other hand, Hong Kong and Taiwan stars are all relatively expensive - 2000 million to shoot a fantasy special effects martial arts drama is actually not very wealthy, and Xu Kun still hopes to spend the money wisely.
After much discussion, Chen Xu was found to be the most suitable candidate.
After all, being a heartthrob is really the best.
So he and Liu Haibo decided to give it another try. After much persuasion at Chen Xu's house yesterday, they finally managed to convince Chen Xu to give in.
When he returned to the rental house, Xu Kun was already exhausted. He lay down and slept until dawn.
Who would have thought that just after he got up, Chen Hao's agent called him and made some sarcastic remarks to him, and then Ge You asked him on the phone whether he had done anything wrong to Tong Y.
What does this have to do with anything?!
"Brother Kun, I bought the newspaper!"
At this time, Baoqiang's voice came from outside the door. Xu Kun hurried out to greet him, snatched a thick stack of newspapers, and quickly turned to the relevant reports.
After watching it, he realized that the second female lead who had just been decided by the crew was first beaten up by her boyfriend, and then it was revealed that it was because she was seduced by someone else. He, the "producer named Xu", became a despicable person.
What is all this mess? !
Just when I was speechless, Liu Haibo called me. I knew without asking that it must be about the beating incident.
After confirming that Xu Kun had read the report, Liu Haibo cautiously probed: "Kun'er, what do you think about this?"
"It really has nothing to do with me!"
Xu Kun was speechless and said, "Brother, we have always been willing to do this, how could we possibly use hidden rules?"
uh~
In fact, he had done it before, but it was Huo Siyan who took the initiative, not him.
When Liu Haibo heard Xu Kun's confident words, he felt relieved - if Xu Kun was really the one who did this, he would probably have to run away overnight.
Liu Haibo is not against the unspoken rules in the circle, but as long as things don't get out of hand, he, Liu, is too lazy to meddle in other people's business.
Because the phone had been turned off, the two had a brief discussion and decided that they should go to the hospital to visit the patient and try to find out the cause and effect.
On the way, Xu Kun specifically asked Ge You for his phone number, but unfortunately Zhang's phone was always busy.
However, along the way, Xu Kun kept receiving calls from others, and even Jia Yueting expressed his concern about this matter.
When we went to the hospital mentioned in the news, we heard that the patient had been transferred to another hospital.
The hospital refused to disclose where the patient was transferred to.
Xu Kun was so angry that he almost smashed the hospital.
At this time, Huo Siyan happened to call. Xu Kun was so angry that he took his anger out on Huo Siyan, saying that he had been optimistic about Jiang Yiyan, but it was she who made trouble and didn't let him use her, and ended up replacing her with such a troublemaker.
When he returned from the hospital in defeat, there were reporters in the rental house. They were sent by some tabloid, and they started asking Xu Kun whether he had engaged in any unspoken rules and whether he had been caught in bed while doing it.
If Baoqiang and Liu Haibo hadn't tried their best to stop him, Xu Kun would have beaten him to a pulp.
I thought it would be enough to kick this guy out, but this was just the beginning. Reporters came one after another and when they couldn't get into the yard, they set up ladders outside to spy inside.
Some even interviewed their neighbors and wrote down any rumors. The fastest and most reckless ones are definitely news portals.
posted a picture of Han Yueping stabbing someone with a knife, with the title containing three question marks: "Actor? Producer? Gangster?"
Sohu was not to be outdone and found a screenshot of Xu Sang molesting an anti-Japanese woman, with the caption "On and off the stage, the same inside and out."
Although they didn't mention any names in the article, what's the difference between this and mentioning any names? !
However, it was an outsider who really pushed the matter to a climax.
12 month 1 day.
Just when Xu Kun tried his best to get in touch with him, actor Zhang Yu suddenly held a press conference and announced that he had a hot videotape of a certain director.
At the same time, she also expressed her opinion on the incident, believing that the entertainment industry is so dark and evil, and that the roles she played were all created by sleeping with directors and producers.
Therefore, it is not surprising at all that she was taken advantage of by producer Xu!
Is this how people are supposed to live?!
Xu Kun was so angry that he smashed his laptop, picked up the table and kicked open the gate, and shouted directly to the reporters outside: "I'm waiting here. Anyone with evidence can bring it out. As long as it's true, I will call 110 and turn myself in!"
While speaking, his ferocious four white eyes swept across the entire audience, silencing all the reporters.
It was not until Xu Kun pushed the table away and sat down on the stone block in front of the door that the reporters gathered around him as if awakened from a dream, asking him if there was anything he wanted to clarify or if there was any way to prove his innocence.
Xu Kun was about to vent his anger when he heard a reporter shout, "Zhang XX is holding a press conference at the Central Academy of Drama!"
Then someone else shouted, "There is a live text broadcast on Sina!"
When Xu Kun heard this, he turned around and shouted, "Baoqiang, put my notes... away!"
Halfway through shouting, he remembered that he had smashed his notebook.
Fortunately, reporters soon began to use their cell phones for "simultaneous transmission," allowing Xu Kun to obtain first-hand intelligence.
Zhang Guoli mainly clarified three points at the press conference.
First, his son was also one of the victims, and the story behind this is more complicated than everyone thought. Given that he has sincerely admitted his mistakes, he hopes that the Central Academy of Drama can show leniency and not expel him.
Secondly, this incident has nothing to do with the crew of "Heavenly Sword" and the producer surnamed Xu, and the related reports are all groundless and fabricated.
Zhang Guoli expressed his apologies to the crew of "Heavenly Sword" and producer Xu for being innocently implicated, and called on the media to restore the innocence and justice of "Heavenly Sword" and producer Xu.
Thirdly, Zhang Yu said that the directors and actors in the film and television industry are all engaging in shameful activities, which is completely exaggerating and sensational.
There may be some bad elements in the circle, but overall it is thriving and upright, and is definitely not as filthy and smelly as Zhang Yu said.
After hearing these three points, the reporters in the alley dispersed immediately.
夢~
Why don’t you apologize to me first!
Xu Kun put away the table while cursing, when he suddenly received a call from Ge You. Ge You said that he had contacted Zhang Guoli. In addition to agreeing to hold a press conference to help clarify the matter, Zhang Guoli also said that he would apologize to Xu Kun in person after the matter was over.
No wonder Zhang Guoli specifically clarified this matter at the press conference.
This once again shows how important connections and background are in the circle. If it weren't for Ge You's relationship, Zhang Guoli's status at the press conference might have gone from three to two.
Xu Kun hung up the phone, looked at Liu Haibo who appeared out of nowhere, and spread his hands and said, "I just want to play the leading role honestly. The filming hasn't even started yet, how come I have encountered so many bad things?!"
“It’s not all bad.”
Liu Haibo patted Xu Kun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Our "Heavenly Sword Heroes" can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. It has become popular before it is even aired."
