Chapter 141: Train Racing
After chatting with Deng Chao for a long time in the morning, Xu Kun was not in a hurry to meet Cai Yinong in the afternoon, but went to visit the crew of "A World Without Thieves".
The car they drove this time was Li Xiaolu's newly purchased Toyota Prado. In order to avoid repeating the same mistake, Huo Siyan deliberately sat in the passenger seat and pushed Xu Kun to the back seat.
Xu Kun and Li Xiaolu hadn't seen each other for a while, but they were not unfamiliar with each other. When they met, they went straight to the drainage ditch and asked: "I heard that you were hit by Zeng Lai's knee because you were too tall?"
Needless to say, it must have been Jiang Yiyan who told Huo Siyan, and Huo Siyan told Li Dazui.
Huo Siyan was sitting in the passenger seat, covering her mouth with her hands and laughing, when she heard Li Xiaolu say again: "Then you are lucky. When "Heavenly Sword Heroes" is broadcast, there will naturally be people who know what you are talking about. There are a few innocent-looking people in the circle who secretly like this."
Huo Siyan's smile suddenly froze on her face.
Having Jiang Yiyan competing with her was enough to make her wary. If there were a few more...
"Just drive your car."
Xu Kun said unhappily: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"
Then he changed the subject and asked, "Why did Fan Bingbing lose this time?"
It was only when he came to visit the set this time that he heard that Li Bingbing had replaced him this time.
“It’s not a loss.”
Li Xiaolu pouted and said, "Sister Bingbing is playing the second female lead this time, but last year Fan Bingbing played the first female lead. I think Sister Bingbing is too honest. If it were me, I would have broken up with Huayi a long time ago!"
"Who is the female lead?"
"Liu Ruoying."
"The one who sings? Doesn't it mean that one of the male and female protagonists must be from the mainland?"
"Who knows? Maybe a big director can break the rules."
The two chatted and laughed along the way, and inevitably talked about the online public opinion offensive. Xu Kun only vaguely said that he asked a friend for help, and did not disclose anything about LeTV's online public opinion company.
Huo Siyan had no interest in talking and seemed to be still struggling with the issue of "within reach".
When we arrived at the temporary filming base, we saw a train parked in the wild from a distance.
"Brother Kun!"
Baoqiang and Li Yixiang had been waiting on the roadside for a long time. When they saw Xu Kun getting off the Prado, Baoqiang jumped up and down and shouted to greet him, grinning as naive and innocently as possible.
Xu Kun stared at him from head to toe and commented, "He has a bit of Yuan Fengming's flavor, but he seems a little different."
"Hehe~"
Bao Qiang scratched his head and said, "Director Feng chose me because he watched Blind Shaft. This character is much more outgoing and cheerful than Yuan Fengming, and is also more ignorant of worldly affairs than Yuan Fengming."
After a pause, he continued, "I think the play of Da La Wu and Yan Tai is more interesting."
Xu Kun understood what he meant. Whether it was Li Yang or Feng Xiaogang, they were attracted by Bao Qiang's background and wanted to use him as a special actor.
Xu Kun's roles as Da La Wu and Yan Tai expanded the possibilities and really honed his acting skills.
Xu Kun said seriously: "Let's establish this ecological niche first, and it won't be too late to explore new acting paths later."
Bao Qiang nodded innocently: "I know, I just prefer filming with you, Brother Kun."
At this time, Li Yixiang also came over. Xu Kun took the initiative to hug Li Ge. Li Yixiang smiled and patted his back, saying, "Don't say anything. This matter started with me, so it should end with me."
"Brother Li, why do you sound like you want to become a monk?"
Xu Kun smiled half-seriously and half-fakely, "A real man should have no problem finding a wife. What kind of women do you like? I'll introduce a few to you later."
Li Yixiang shook his head, said hello to Li Xiaolu and Huo Siyan, and then led the three of them inside.
After entering the crew, he first met Ge You and Liu Dehua, and then Xu Kun was amazed by Li Bingbing's look as a female thief, but she was wearing a little too much.
Although it is summer now, the script is set in winter. I heard that every time they start filming, the actors have to drink Huoxiang Zhengqi water first to avoid heatstroke.
Feng Xiaogang, who was discussing moving to Gansu with the assistant director, heard that Xu Kun was coming to visit the set, so he came over to chat with him and asked him if he wanted to make a cameo appearance.
"Of course it would be great if there was a suitable role." Xu Kun said with a smile, "If it's not suitable, I wouldn't dare force my way in."
"That's fine. Wait for my notification later."
Feng Xiaogang said, then changed the subject: "I heard that you have been causing quite a stir online recently. What is this? Can it be used to promote the movie?"
Xu Kun thought about it and nodded heavily, "It's really suitable to promote your new play online!"
The story of a group of thieves would definitely be restricted when promoted by traditional media, but now is the time when the Internet environment is the most relaxed. You can even see "Born to Be Useful" and "The King of Animals" at some point.
So he gave a brief introduction to the situation of LeTV's Internet Public Opinion Company, and just as he was about to leave his phone number, he was stopped by Feng Xiaogang.
"Since we are asking for help, we should have the attitude of asking for help. When the filming is almost done, I will call Mr. Wang or Mr. Wang, and you can arrange for us to meet with Mr. Jia, and we can talk face to face."
After Feng Xiaogang left, Xu Kun talked to Ge You alone and told him about his experiences during the filming of "Heavenly Sword", as well as how he and Jia Yueting teamed up to ambush and counterattack Tangren.
When Ge You heard that Jia Yueting and Xu Kun were planning to negotiate with the Tang people, he nodded and said, "That's right. Your thing has just come out, and others don't know much about it. If you make too much noise, it will easily cause trouble."
This is similar to what Jia Yueting saw. It has only been less than two days since the incident started, and even Feng Xiaogang, who was filming on the set, was alarmed.
If LeTV really continues to pursue the company relentlessly and defeats Tangren in one fell swoop, other film and television companies or related companies may become wary of LeTV.
For the rest of the time, Xu Kun mainly stayed with Baoqiang and Li Yixiang; Li Xiaolu took Huo Siyan and went to interact with Li Bingbing.
About an hour and a half later, the three of them reunited at the gate.
After getting in the car, Huo Siyan still looked depressed. Xu Kun thought she was against Yan Lu's appointment. But when the Toyota Prado drove two miles away, Huo Siyan suddenly asked, "What do you think about me signing with Huayi?"
"Ok?"
Xu Kun was puzzled: "Why did you suddenly want to sign a contract with Huayi? Did someone from Huayi contact you?"
"That's not true."
Huo Siyan was about to explain the reason when Li Xiaolu spoke first: "Her drama "The Burning 2" recently flopped in Beijing and Taiwan, and the ratings were far below expectations."
"how come?"
Xu Kun asked in surprise, "Didn't Sun Haiying and Sister Lu agree to guest star?"
Huo Siyan explained glumly, "It's mainly because of the script. It's too sentimental and not as down-to-earth as the first part."
As he said this, he turned around and glanced at Xu Kun.
She gave her body to Xu Kun just for this drama, but now...
If it weren't for the fact that Ge You was standing behind Xu Kun and had brought Bao Qiang and Li Yixiang into the crew of "A World Without Thieves", Huo Siyan would have wanted to turn against him.
Facing Huo Siyan's resentful eyes, Xu Kun was also a little embarrassed, but he was thick-skinned after all, so he brought back the original topic and said, "Then you have to think about it carefully. After signing with Huayi, you will be working for them, and most of the money will have to be handed over to the company."
"It's just that you earn a little less, but at least you have the company to back you up. It won't be like it is now, where no one calls you after you fail."
In fact, film and television companies treat out-of-date artists more harshly, but Xu Kun has some connections in Huayi and can take care of her to some extent.
"How about this."
Xu Kun said, "Director Feng asked me to do something just now. At that time, Mr. Wang or Mr. Wang will also be there. If you have not changed your mind by then, I will communicate with them in person."
Huo Siyan nodded first, then sighed: "It's a pity that "The Miraculous Doctor and His Lover" will not be broadcast until the end of the year, otherwise it could have regained some popularity."
Drop~drop~
At this time, Li Xiaolu clapped the speaker hard and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? Let him give you a good encouragement in the evening. I can also take a look at how you usually play."
As he spoke, he suddenly slammed on the brakes.
Fortunately, Xu Kun's lower body was stable enough, otherwise he would have rushed directly from the back row to the front row.
Huo Siyan was also startled. She rubbed the place where the seat belt hurt and asked, "What are you doing?"
Drop~~
Li Xiaolu honked the horn again, and turned back with shining eyes and said, "This is a rare opportunity, how about we take a nap in the car first, and then sneak onto the train in the middle of the night?!"
hiss~
This woman clearly wants to race a train!
