Chapter 172 My Friend Mr. Dick
Although Xu Kun's "extreme" remarks were reprinted by several tabloids and even caused some stir on the Internet, he was not even a fish in this war of public opinion, but a shrimp at most.
Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Guoli, Ge You, Chen Baoguo, Chen Daoming...
A total of more than 40 of the most famous directors and actors in the mainland jointly voiced 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Wang Jing, who had originally made rude remarks, softened his attitude and held another press conference to make a public apology.
This incident ended with a great victory for the mainland film and television industry, but among the three perpetrators, the only one who was really unlucky was Zhang Weijian, because he did not have a strong enough background.
But these have nothing to do with Xu Kun. After he made his "big statement", he has been working hard on filming.
The filming starts at 8:10 in the morning and ends at : in the evening. Others can take a break when they are not filming, but the protagonist Xu Kun basically works non-stop. From time to time, he has to work overtime at Ning Jing's place to help her relax physically and mentally.
Even though our brother Kun has a strong body, he was tortured to the point of ecstasy.
By October 10, Xu Kun could no longer bear it and went to director Feng Xiaoning to ask for three days of leave.
He did have something to do. LeTV Video Network would be officially launched on October 10th, and on the day of the launch, Jia Yueting planned to hold a moderate opening ceremony.
Xu Kun, a shareholder of LeTV, was naturally also invited to attend.
Originally Xu Kun hadn't planned to go, but he was so tired that he simply took three days off to take a break.
"Take a look, take a look."
Xu Kun patted his face and said, "I'm already swollen, it won't look good in the photos - I've already planned it out. I'll sleep a little when I go there, and sleep a little when I come back. I'll also take some anti-inflammatory drugs, and I'll be full of energy when I return to the crew!"
Director Feng Xiaoning said seriously: "What's the big deal about swelling? It's just right for filming this scene where Zhu Yuanzhang becomes emperor and his heart swells."
Xu Kun: “…”
So the manifestation of inner expansion is just a little bit of puffiness on the face, right?
"Haha, I'm just teasing you."
Director Feng Xiaoning laughed, patted Xu Kun on the shoulder and said, "Thanks to the tacit understanding between you and Ning Jing, our progress is faster than expected. You've taken a few days off, and the crew can adjust their pace."
Xu Kun finally breathed a sigh of relief. If Feng Xiaoning didn't grant him leave, he really had no other choice.
But why do I feel like Director Feng's words "perfect understanding" have a hidden meaning?
Could it be that he has discovered something?
But it doesn't matter, they are just a couple in the crew anyway. Even if it is revealed later, it will just be another scandal based on the 'Double Flying Swallows'.
After coming out of the director's office, Xu Kun immediately called Wang Peng and asked him to book a train ticket for him that would depart in the early morning.
Of course, taking a plane is the fastest way, but Xu Kun is not in that hurry. He just wants to catch up on his sleep on the way there and back - if he returns to the capital early, he may not have time to sleep for long.
After finishing the call and returning to his room, Xu Kun packed up briefly. Suddenly he remembered something, so he pushed the door open again, looked around in the corridor for a while, and then walked into Ning Jing's guest room as if he was familiar with the place.
Because he comes and goes so often, Ning Jing is too lazy to lock the door at night.
"Hey~ my spare underwear..."
After entering the room, he was talking halfway when he suddenly noticed Ning Jing holding up her cell phone and talking to someone.
Xu Kun froze, and immediately pressed his body close to the TV, pinching his throat and pretending to be a shrew, "You ask me about your pants? From now on, we will each take care of our own business. I will only wash mine and the children's..."
He was secretly proud of his own wit when he saw Ning Jing turn around and glance at him, then calmly said into the microphone: "My friend Dick is here."
Xu Kun: “…”
It’s a waste of my great acting skills!
"Who is Dick, you ask?"
Ning Jing chuckled, but there was no smile on his face: "I gave him this name. Guess who he is?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Jing put the phone away, and then a series of "fuck" came out of it - in fact, it was not all "fuck", mainly because Xu Kun could only understand this word. It was not until the beeping sound of hanging up came from the receiver that Xu Kun tentatively asked: "Your husband?"
"Not any time soon."
Ning Jing threw his phone onto the bed, his face showing both fatigue, sadness, and relief.
Xu Kun didn't know what to say for a moment. Although the two of them were mainly engaged in sex, they would occasionally talk to each other, so he was not unfamiliar with the story between Ning Jing and Paul.
Ultimately, the root cause of their unhappy marriage lies with Ning Jing. If she hadn't been angry for a moment, this failed transnational marriage would never have happened.
But Xu Kun couldn't tell her the truth when she was feeling down, right?
Finally, I could only pretend to be curious and ask, "What does Dick mean?"
"I'm just giving you a temporary name - or a nickname, if you will."
After Ning Jing finished speaking, he saw that Xu Kun was still a little confused, so he walked over and grabbed something directly, and explained: "In English, Dick and this thing are homophones."
Now Xu Kun understood.
But now that you have already understood the lesson, isn't it a bit inappropriate to still hold on to the "teaching aids"?
Just as Xu Kun was about to speak, the cell phone in his pocket rang. He avoided Ning Jing's tossing and turning hands, took out the phone and put it to his ear. It turned out that Wang Peng had used his connections to book a soft sleeper and asked Xu Kun to rush over to pick up the ticket before 1:30 in the morning.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Kun shrugged and said, "You heard it too. I have to leave before 12 o'clock, otherwise I will miss the train."
"Isn't this still more than an hour away?"
Ning Jing still refused to let go, and his movements became more and more violent.
"Then what..."
"Shh~"
Ning Jing made a silencing gesture to Xu Kun and said without question: "I don't want to listen to Xu Kun now. I only want my friend Mr. Dick."
In fact, if you break the word "Kun" down, it's not that different.
In the end, Xu Kun spent one hour and eight minutes to successfully prove that Mr. Dick was worthy of his reputation. He then spent another five minutes taking a quick shower before hurriedly rushing to the train station.
Fortunately, I caught up in the end.
Xu Kun slept well all the way to the capital. If his buddy in the lower bunk hadn't reminded him, he would probably have slept until the train departed again.
After leaving the station sleepily, Xu Kun was thinking about calling Jia Yueting to ask him where the car he had arranged to pick him up was parked, when he suddenly received a call from Zeng Lai.
Xu Kun was stunned at first, then his face turned dark.
What the hell is this guy Lao Jia doing?
After answering the phone, as expected, the person who came to the station to greet me was Zeng Lai.
"Sister Zeng, why is it you?"
Xu Kun asked the question half-truthfully.
"As the heroine of 'Heavenly Sword', I have also received an invitation from President Jia, and I will appear with you tomorrow."
"What else is there to do?"
Xu Kun said speechlessly: "We are opening a business, not walking the red carpet at a film festival."
After a pause, he simply said, "Sister Zeng, you should know what kind of person I am. Do you think we are...appropriate?"
"I do not know."
Zeng Lai answered frankly: "If I knew, I wouldn't be so confused."
After a pause, he added an explanation: "It seems that it was Tangren's idea to have us all present this time, and President Jia was just going along with it."
What does Tangren mean?
What kind of plane does Cai Yinong want to make?
