Chapter 117 Never expected
Xu Kun received a call from Jiang Yiyan at the sales center.
Previously, Big Mouth Elk and Huo Siyan had said they would accompany him to look at houses. But because of the matter of the Heavenly Sword Heroes, Xu Kun was so busy that he had no time to go house hunting with them.
After Xu Kun signed, he turned around and saw Baoqiang still trembling there. He said speechlessly: "Can you be more promising? After all, you are the best newcomer in the Golden Horse Awards!"
"Nomination, yes nomination."
Baoqiang made the corrections seriously, swallowed his saliva and picked up the pen tremblingly. He had thought about buying a house in Beijing countless times, but he never thought it would come so soon and so suddenly.
With a mixture of excitement and nervousness, his name looked like it had been chewed by a dog.
After signing a few names, I was sweating profusely next to the central air conditioner.
"That's it."
Xu Kun handed the signed contract to the sales manager, stood up and said, "Go back and have a good rest for two days, then go to the Golden Horse Awards in high spirits to win the award!"
Before I could even utter the word 'award', the phone rang.
Xu Kun saw that it was an unfamiliar number and did not rush to speak after answering the call.
"Excuse me, is this Producer Xu?"
A timid voice came from the other end of the phone: "I am Jiang Yiyan, Class of 02 of Beijing Film Academy. You took a makeup photo of me when I auditioned."
"It's you. You're calling because of the second female lead, Huang Xiang, right?"
As soon as Xu Kun heard her introduce herself, he knew it must be about the second female role. Tong Y was beaten and disfigured, and there were also rumors of an affair between her and her teacher. She definitely couldn't play Huang Xiang again.
Among the remaining candidates, Jiang Yiyan is the most suitable one.
Besides, Xu Kun was in a cold war with Huo Siyan these days, so there was no need to consider Huo Siyan's opinion.
Therefore, without waiting for Jiang Yiyan to continue speaking, he made the decision directly: "Contact Director Liu later. As long as he has no objection, the role is yours."
After waiting for a while and hearing no movement from the other end, he said, "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first."
"Ah, yes, thank you, Producer Xu, thank you, Producer Xu!"
Jiang Yiyan's flustered voice came from the other end of the phone, and it was obvious that she was overwhelmed by the surprise.
Xu Kun didn't take it too seriously and hung up the phone. He asked Bao Qiang to go out and said, "I have to talk to Brother Chen about the wire training later. You can take a taxi back by yourself. Don't forget to ask Brother Lin to order some delicious dishes. We can celebrate in the evening."
Baoqiang was a little dazed, but also a little excited when he asked, "Do you want to say goodbye to Brother Lin and Sister-in-law?"
"Goodbye? Goodbye to what?"
Xu Kun glanced at him and said, "It's a rough house, you have to decorate it first, right? How can you decorate it in the middle of winter? You have to let it air dry for a year after the decoration is done? At the earliest, we can move in after the year after next."
Baoqiang was a little disappointed when he heard that he could only move in the year after next at the earliest. But when he looked at the plastic bag containing the purchase contract, he couldn't help but grinning.
The two parted ways outside the sales office, and Xu Kun drove to meet Chen Xuebin and arrived at a stunt company.
When he played the role of the major, he was used to hanging on wires, not to mention Bao Qiang who often worked as a stunt double. However, among the main actors in the crew, not many had experience in hanging on wires, so they planned to have some training in a few days.
While the actors were training, he and Liu Haibo planned to take a trip to Shanghai.
Nowadays, many martial arts dramas are shot in Hengdian, and "Heavenly Sword and Fairy" opens at the Qin Palace. Plus, our old friend Wang Peng is also there, so it's a perfect time to shoot the drama and find a martial arts director at the same time.
Originally Xu Kun wanted Wang Peng to be the martial arts director for this drama, but Chen Xuebin felt that friendship was friendship, and Wang Peng might not be able to handle this 2000 million yuan fantasy martial arts drama, so it would be better to find a real pillar and backbone. So Liu Haibo recommended the martial arts director of "The Four Famous Detectives Meet in Beijing", who was also in Shanghai, so they went to the three places to have a look and try to come up with some fancy routines before the official shooting.
…………
On the other side, Jiang Yiyan was stunned by the "beep, beep, beep" sound on the phone.
Before she made the call, she had thought of countless possibilities, but she never expected that she would get the role so easily - and she didn't even have time to say anything!
Did you really think too much?
But this whole process is too weird, right?!
After being in a daze for a while, Jiang Yiyan finally remembered that Xu Kun asked her to call Liu Haibo, so she quickly looked up Liu Haibo's number.
After the call was connected, she couldn't wait to say excitedly: "Director Liu, I'm Jiang Yiyan from the 02 class of Beijing Film Academy. Producer Xu just said that as long as you have no objection, Huang Xiang will let me play the role!"
Liu Haibo recalled that Jiang Yiyan called him the day before yesterday. At that time, he asked her to contact Xu Kun. Then two days later, she said that Xu Kun agreed.
Tsk~
What else don’t you understand about this?
Although I think it is somewhat ill-considered for Xu Kun to commit the crime at this time, I think about the fact that Xu Kun is five years younger than me. Young people are full of energy and it is common for them to act impulsively and recklessly.
Anyway, the matter is done now and there is nothing more to say.
Liu Hai smiled and said, "Since Producer Xu has already agreed, I naturally have nothing to say. How about this, our crew will have a wire-hanging training in a couple of days. I will contact you then, and we will sign the contract together after the training is over."
"Okay, okay, thank you Director Liu, thank you Director Liu!"
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yiyan was so excited that she almost flew up. She ran back to the dormitory like a gust of wind and couldn't wait to announce the good news to her roommates.
It’s a pity that Liu Yifei took a leave of absence the night before to go to Shanghai, otherwise she would definitely run to the next dormitory to show off.
When they heard that Jiang Yiyan was going to play the second female lead Huang Xiang in "Heavenly Swordsman", her roommates congratulated her, whether genuinely or not. Only one girl who was fiddling with her notebook asked in surprise, "So, you're going to compete with Liu Yifei?"
"what?"
Jiang Yiyan was stunned, and then she saw the girl tapping a few times on her laptop, then turning the screen over to face everyone.
Jiang Yiyan and a few roommates went over to take a look and found that it was the headline of NetEase's entertainment section. It clearly read: Heroes of Heavenly Sword vs. Heroes of Immortal Sword, the battle between the two swords is intensifying.
The opening content reads: It is reported that Liu Yifei, who played the fairy sister Wang Yuyan in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", has officially signed with the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" crew yesterday.
With the addition of the Fairy Sister, the Legend of Sword and Fairy crew made a bold statement that they will create the most beautiful fairy heroine in history and give players a Zhao Linger who is like a fairy from heaven.
On the other hand, the crew of "Heavenly Sword Heroes" was involved in the Tong Y incident, which caused the crew's preparations to stagnate for a while...
See here.
Jiang Yiyan's heart was no longer on the report. She competed for the role of Huang Xiang with the intention of competing with Liu Yifei, but she didn't expect that the two crews would actually compete with each other.
"Really!"
After reading it, the roommates also exclaimed: "Looking at this report, you are really going to confront Liu Yifei."
"No way."
Jiang Yiyan pretended not to care and said, "Yifei is the female lead, and I'm just the second female lead."
Having said that, she secretly clenched her fists tightly and her eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
