Chapter 241 Three-Year Agreement
It was not until the little girl's parents rushed to the capital overnight that Xu Kun was able to escape.
When I came back from the court, it was already past two in the morning.
Because he was worried that the license plate would be recognized, Xu Kun drove Qin Lan's 04 Toyota Corolla, which later became Corolla.
Even so, he still dressed up carefully before getting off the car, and then walked home cautiously - this place is relatively secluded, and the chance of being visited by fans is not high. He is mainly wary of those omnipresent entertainment reporters.
Fortunately, everything went well.
It was not until the moment he entered the door that Xu Kun finally let go of the worry in his heart.
To be honest, he was not used to this kind of anxious life. If he did not have to promote "Lost on Journey" next, he really wanted to go away for a while and have some quiet time - for example, travel around Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, and come back after the popularity of "Boss" died down.
Unfortunately, it’s just something I can think about now.
The lights in the living room were off, but the TV was still on. Against the blue background wall, an elderly man with white hair and a youthful face was diligently selling some kind of Chinese patent medicine.
Taking a quick look at the station logo, I saw it was indeed Shandong TV.
On the sofa, Qin Lan, covered with a blanket, had fallen into a deep sleep. He probably wanted to wait for Xu Kun to come back, but he didn't expect Xu Kun to come back so late.
I should have called her first.
Xu Kun felt a rare sense of guilt. He walked forward, carefully picked up Qin Lan, and walked towards the bedroom.
Qin Lan was already awakened before entering the bedroom, but she said nothing. She just lazily and obediently put her arms around Xu Kun's neck.
Even after Xu Kun put her on the bed, she still refused to let go.
Xu Kun had no choice but to lie down as well, and Qin Lan took the opportunity to snuggle into his arms.
"You have to take off your clothes before going to bed, right?"
Xu Kun said softly.
Qin Lan did not react at all. Among Xu Kun's female companions, she had the least demands in this regard. Although she often stirred up a stir, it was mostly Xu Kun who took the initiative.
In comparison, she prefers the feeling of snuggling together.
Although Xu Kun did not reject this kind of cuddling, he always felt that it was not a long-term solution.
After hesitating for a moment, he directly broke the tacit understanding between the two: "Do you really think you can change me?"
Qin Lan is different from Li Xiaolu, Huo Siyan and Jiang Yiyan. What makes her approach them actively is the love that comes from admiration, not fame or fortune.
Her ultimate goal is to change Xu Kun's mind so that the two of them can stay together for a long time - and this kind of relationship is undoubtedly exclusive.
Jiang Yiyan probably realized this, so she wanted to drag Yang Suo into the situation to muddy the waters.
Hearing this, Qin Lan opened his eyes and looked up at him: "How do you know it won't work if you don't try it?"
"There should be a deadline, right?"
"So, three years?"
"Three years?"
Xu Kun sighed, feeling heavy in his heart. He wondered how many women would be willing to spend three years trying to change a philandering and promiscuous man?
But he only met such a person in two lifetimes.
But Xu Kun really has no intention of tying himself to a certain woman for the time being, nor does he think that Qin Lan can change his mind within three years.
Then after three years...
Forget it, let’s talk about the future later.
Xu Kun changed his posture and hugged Qin Lan tightly in his arms.
The next day the sun was already high in the sky.
Xu Kun was awakened by the ringing of his cell phone. Qin Lan was no longer in the bedroom at that time. The aroma of food wafted in from the half-open door.
Xu Kun grabbed the phone and glanced at it, and found that the caller was Ge You, and he couldn't help but slap his forehead.
bad~
The last time he went to Uncle Ge's house for dinner, he promised to find time to talk to Lu Xing, but because of all the things that happened after the broadcast of "The Boss", he forgot about it.
He quickly answered the phone and apologized, "I'm sorry, uncle. I've been..."
"I'm not looking for you because of Lu Xing's matter."
Ge You interrupted him and said, "I received news from a friend that Beijing Mercedes-Benz Company is interested in selecting a male star from the mainland to advertise their upcoming domestic E280 - you are also on the shortlist." "Really?!"
Xu Kun was shocked when he heard that. Although it was an advertisement rather than an endorsement, being able to advertise for a luxury brand was a reflection of one's strength and status in the circle.
Although it is just a joint venture brand and not a pure imported car, some big names may feel that it is a little lacking.
But Xu Kun actually wants to support domestically produced cars more. Unfortunately, these days' purely domestically produced cars are really not good enough. They all hover below 80,000 yuan, and none of them can stay in the 100,000 yuan range.
"Don't be happy yet."
Ge You said: "If you want to get this advertisement, you have to settle the lawsuit first, otherwise people will feel uneasy."
"What's wrong with this? I have their memorandum of understanding. Besides, it's not my fault. I didn't expect those fans to be so crazy."
"As a public figure, don't you have to be careful at all times?"
Ge You didn't listen to his explanation, but said: "If you have time tomorrow night, come with me to Director Feng's house and sit down. Then, show your attitude in front of Director Feng - do you understand what I mean?"
“Understand, understand!”
Xu Kun immediately expressed his opinion: "Uncle, don't worry. Even if my movie becomes popular, it is still an unorthodox way. I will have to learn from Director Feng when I enter Huayi."
Although he has been hiding from place to place recently, he has always kept in touch with Huayi because of the movie, so he can clearly feel the change in Huayi's attitude.
Apart from anything else, although Wang Zhonglei was enthusiastic towards him before, he still had a condescending attitude in his heart. But now he directly addresses him as brother - Xiao Wang was born in 70 and is only 10 years younger than Xu Kun.
Originally, the two Wangs were skeptical about Xu Kun's approach of using television to attract fans and then boost the movie box office. After all, there have been similar situations before, but the increase in box office was very limited.
It was not until they witnessed Xu Kun being chased and blocked by thousands of fans that the two Wangs quickly realized the value of it.
It would be wishful thinking to expect ordinary TV viewers these days to support movies, but if it were these young fanatical fans, the situation would be very different.
Didn’t you see that in last year’s Super Girl finals, in just two hours, more than 810 million people voted for Li Yuchun, Zhou Bichang, and Zhang Liangying via text message.
That’s all supported by real money!
With Xu Kun’s current popularity almost matching that of Li Yuchun, coupled with the film’s high enough quality, he might be able to carve out a niche during the Valentine’s Day season!
What makes Huayi even more excited is that this seems to be a mature and replicable model.
Therefore, the change in the two Wangs' attitude towards Xu Kun was not only because of Xu Kun's own popularity and value, but also because they hoped that Xu Kun could bring this model to Huayi and carry it forward.
But this made Feng Xiaogang a little upset.
Although he vowed in front of the two kings that he would bet on the blockbuster, he was actually a little unsure in his heart, and even prepared in advance for the possibility of losing first and then making a profit.
During this period, it would be fine if he was the only choice of the two kings. But if Xu Kun showed enough commercial value to replace Feng's comedy, and he stumbled in the blockbuster film...
Others may not be able to see what he is thinking, but Ge You can definitely see it, so that's why he called Xu Kun - if these two people quarrel, Ge You will have a headache no matter who wins or loses.
Moreover, even if Xu Kun's movie becomes a big hit, he still has more than ten years of experience behind Feng Xiaogang. If Feng Xiaogang really regards him as a thorn in his side and suppresses him, even if he does not eventually join Huayi, he will definitely be greatly affected.
Fortunately, Feng Xiaogang is a man who cares about his reputation, and he has the friendship with Ge You. If Xu Kun lowers his posture and flatters him a few more times, the matter will probably be over.
At this point, Ge You couldn't help but sigh: "You are better than Lu Xing in this aspect. If he had your results, he would have disowned me as his uncle a long time ago."
To be honest, without Lu Xing as a role model, Xu Kun might have become arrogant.
Lu Xing’s conflict with Su Youpeng over “The Princess Weiyoung” was not over yet, and he later offended the producer sent by the investors.
In fact, the quarrel with Su Youpeng was not a big deal. If he had just said a few soft words in front of the producer and adopted a slightly better attitude, people would have let it go for Ge You's sake.
But he was a coward who really thought he was some kind of extravagant figure. In the end, he irritated the top management of Hualu, and they directly spread his actions in the circle.
As a result, no film crew is willing to use him now. Although he has not been banned openly, he has been banned by the industry. Even Ge You’s intervention is useless.
Ge You originally planned to take him to the film industry temporarily, and when the hype had passed, it would not be too late for him to return to TV dramas - if he could make a name for himself in the film industry, that would naturally be the best.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xing became stubborn again and insisted on carrying it himself.
He didn't answer Ge You's calls, so he asked Xu Kun to help persuade him.
But now...
"Don't worry about Lu Xing for now. I'll find someone else to counsel him."
Xu Kun was not at all surprised that Ge You would suddenly change his mind.
Lu Xing has never been a broad-minded person. With Xu Kun's current popularity as a "super man", if he really went to comfort Lu Xing, Lu Xing would probably think of him as mocking or showing off.
