Chapter 184 Why Not Xiaoqian
February 2004, 12.
Huo Siyan came in from outside carrying a big bag of cooked food. When she saw Jiang Yiyan sitting cross-legged on the sofa reading the script attentively, she couldn't help but secretly curl her lips.
But after seeing Gan Wei also flipping through the script in the corner, she immediately smiled again and walked over to greet them, "Yi Yan, Xiao Wei, has the script for New Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio arrived? How is it? Are there any suitable roles?"
Gan Wei raised his head and said with a smile, "I should be playing the heroine Xiao Cui in the chapter "Xiao Cui"."
Hearing this, Jiang Yiyan looked up and glanced at Gan Wei. In fact, she was most optimistic about Xiao Cui, because the male lead of the "Xiao Cui" unit was a fool, so the focus of the play was naturally on Xiao Cui.
But she was not jealous of Gan Wei. First, she was the future boss lady, and she was not comparable to someone like her who had no name or status. Second, she estimated that she would most likely play opposite Brother Kun, and she couldn't let Brother Kun play a fool, right?
"I'm fine with anything."
So Jiang Yiyan said obediently: "Let's see how Brother Kun arranges it."
"That's right. Our brother Kun can't treat you unfairly."
Huo Siyan said cheap words and put the cooked food into the refrigerator. Then she asked in confusion, "Why is the fruit juice in the refrigerator replaced with carrot juice?"
"Oh~"
Jiang Yiyan stretched her stiff snow-white legs and said to Huo Siyan, "Brother Kun's hometown sent it. It seems that they are planning to ask Brother Kun to be the spokesperson."
"Juice and liquor are both considered beverages, right? Didn't Lao Baigan say that if Zhu Yuanzhang gets good ratings, it would ask Brother Kun to be the spokesperson?"
Jiang Yiyan spread her hands and said, "So Brother Kun is still a little undecided for the time being."
Huo Siyan nodded without saying anything else, picked up two bottles of carrot juice and walked into the study.
Xu Kun was resting his legs on the table with his eyes closed when he heard the door open. He turned around and saw Huo Siyan. He asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"Today is Christmas."
Huo Siyan said as a matter of course: "We should at least celebrate, right?"
"never heard of that."
Xu Kun took the carrot juice from Huo Siyan and said with some disdain, "I can never get used to drinking this stuff."
Then he unscrewed the lid and handed it back to Huo Siyan: "Try it. If you like it, you can take all the ones in the refrigerator."
Huo Siyan smiled slightly, tilted her head back and took a big gulp, then leaned over and kissed Xu Kun on the mouth, passing most of the carrot juice to Xu Kun.
half an hour.
Xu Kun smacked his lips and said, "Drinking like this is quite interesting - never mind, it doesn't matter whether it lays an egg or not, it's still a festival, let's celebrate it tonight."
Huo Siyan supported Xu Kun's shoulder with one hand, sat on the armrest with a smile, looked at the script on the table and asked, "Is there a role you like?"
"I guess I have one."
Xu Kun was relatively familiar with the original "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", but Tang Ren's "New Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" adapted the original plot, and many outstanding characters in the original work became villains or supporting roles.
Of course, being a villain does not mean not being outstanding. In fact, the most outstanding among these male protagonists is Wang Sheng, who became a villain in the "Painted Skin" unit.
This guy is a pure PUA master. For the sake of his future, he watched his original wife Mei Sanniang being burned to death. Later, when his deceased wife's ghost came to demand her life, he brought her back to life with his mouth and finally escaped safely.
If Wang Sheng had not refused to change his evil ways and killed his second wife, the daughter of a wealthy family, in order to marry the princess of the current dynasty, with his deceptive skills, he would not have been killed by his two deceased wives joining forces.
To be honest, if Xu Kun didn't want to transform and play a positive role, this blackened Wang Sheng would definitely be the best choice.
As for the one who became a supporting role, it was Zhu Erdan who also turned evil in Lu Pan.
The protagonist of this drama is Zhu Erdan's classmate Bai Yang. In order to seek justice for his fiancée and to expose the evil deeds of Lu Pan and Zhu Erdan, he did not hesitate to trace them from the world of the living to the underworld.
This guy can be said to be the male protagonist with the strongest sense of justice in several dramas, but the problem is that Bai Yang has too few roles, and he is a bit like a double protagonist with Zhu Erdan, who has changed his heart and turned from a fool into a sophisticated egoist.
As for the male protagonists of the "Xiao Cui" and "A Bao" units, one is born mentally retarded and the other is crazy because of love - the plot of the former is completely dominated by the female protagonist, while the latter is a bootlicker that Xu Kun despises.
So after looking around, Xu Kun decided that Tao Wangsan in "Xiao Xie" was the most suitable. Although Tao Wangsan took the initiative to pursue the rich girl he didn't like for his future at the beginning, he was generally a good person and did not lose his initiative when interacting with the female ghosts in the other garden.
At the same time, he is also the PUA master second only to Wang Sheng. This can be seen from the fact that he pretended not to realize that the rich girl was a woman disguised as a man, and deliberately leaned towards the plot of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.
After Xu Kun talked about his choice, he asked about Jiang Yiyan and Gan Wei’s choices.
Xu Kun didn't find it strange at all that Gan Wei chose Xiao Cui, but when he heard Jiang Yiyan was waiting for his decision, he couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
He actually didn't really want to play opposite Jiang Yiyan. Firstly, the rumors outside were not over yet, and secondly, he felt that it lacked freshness and excitement.
After thinking for a while, he took Huo Siyan back to the living room and asked knowingly, "Xiao Wei, have you chosen your role?"
Although Gan Wei is Jia Yueting's girlfriend, she actually spends more time with Xu Kun than with Jia Yueting, so naturally there is no estrangement between the two.
She raised the script in her hand and said, "I chose Xiao Cui. This role suits me best!"
As he spoke, Gan Wei glanced at Jiang Yiyan inconspicuously. Seeing that Jiang Yiyan did not show any dissatisfaction, the smile on his face became more sincere.
"Xiao Cui?"
Xu Kun frowned and asked, "Why not Xiaoqian?"
Gan Wei was stunned, looked at the script in his hand, and asked in confusion: "Isn't "Xiao Qian" Tangren's private domain? They didn't even send us the script."
Xu Kun analyzed seriously, "That's for me. Tangren's main purpose in making this play is to promote Hu Ge, so the most famous Ning Caichen should naturally be given to him. Now Tangren's actresses are in short supply, so if they are going to give the role to outsiders in the end, why can't it be given to us?"
"Yup!"
Gan Wei's eyes lit up. Although the focus of the "Xiao Cui" unit was on the female lead, because Hong Kong dramas are deeply rooted in people's hearts, the focus of the entire "New Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" must be on Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen.
If she could play Xiaoqian, Xiaocui would naturally not be so attractive.
She subconsciously took out her cell phone and said excitedly: "Then I'll call Mr. Cai and ask..."
"Don't worry."
Xu Kun stretched out his hand and pressed down: "If you really want to fight for the role of Xiao Qian, I think it would be better to let Lao Jia call in person, so that it would have more weight."
"Yeah!"
Gan Wei nodded like a chick pecking at rice, then grabbed her bag and was about to leave.
Xu Kun chased her to the door and shouted at her back, "Don't come this afternoon. The three of us are going to spend Christmas together behind closed doors!"
Gan Wei raised his middle finger without even turning his head, then hurriedly disappeared at the elevator entrance.
When he turned back, he saw Jiang Yiyan's face full of envy, so he pinched her face and said jokingly, "Are you stupid? She's going to fight for Xiaoqian, and you're just the right person to play Xiaocui!"
Jiang Yiyan finally came to her senses, and under Huo Siyan's somewhat sour gaze, she jumped up and kissed Xu Kun ruthlessly.
After a while, she calmed down a little, and then she said hesitantly: "Brother Kun, you don't want to play the fool, do you?"
"I'm going to play 'Tao Wangsan'."
Xu Kun said, flicking her forehead again, and asked with a deliberately stern face: "What's the matter, the night is not enough, you want to dominate me during the day too?"
Jiang Yiyan covered her forehead and smiled so hard that her teeth were exposed. At the same time, she secretly made up her mind. Last time, she failed on the set of "The Seven Fairies". This time when she went to the set of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", she must find a good one for Brother Kun!
As for why Xu Kun knew about her behavior, but didn't point it out, let alone stop her, and even tried his best to help Jiang Yiyan get a better role...
That’s naturally because our brother Kun is very busy, so he accidentally forgot about it.
hmm~
Anyway, there are definitely no other considerations here - Xu Kun would answer this way no matter who asked.
