Chapter 248 Insufficient people
The next morning.
Yang Mi heard Jiang Xin talking to Liu Shishi in a daze. She subconsciously sat up with the quilt in her arms and found that Liu Shishi was stretching on the bed, while Jiang Xin was gritting her teeth and struggling with the meat jerky she bought yesterday.
Feeling Yang Mi's gaze, Jiang Xin raised the meat jerky in his hand towards her: "Would you like some?"
"I haven't brushed my teeth yet."
Yang Mi shook her head and refused. She stood up, took out her notebook from her bag, logged into with her SIM card, randomly selected a few news items of interest, opened them in new windows, and then, while the pictures were loading, went to the bathroom to wash up briefly.
When he came back, he found Jiang Xin was reading the news he had opened with great interest.
Seeing Yang Mi coming out of the bathroom, Jiang Xin curled her lips and said, "Why is this matter of Brother Kun's 'former residence' still not over?"
Yang Mi leaned over to take a look and found that it was a news item that said, "A rich woman sublet Xu Kun's [former residence] at a high price, renovated the toilet with her own money, and prohibited outsiders from visiting."
Jiang Xin waited for her to finish watching it, and then clicked on another window. The news said that the finale of "Wulin Waijia" would be broadcast at the same time as the Spring Festival Gala, directly competing with the Spring Festival Gala.
"It's all because Boss is too short, otherwise how could My Own Swordsman be so rampant?"
After Jiang Xin finished her unwilling evaluation, she turned to another piece of news. This news was about Yahoo Star Search, which was as large and powerful as Super Girl. The three judges were Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Jizhong.
"Even Director Chen has personally come out to participate. There are too many talent shows this year, right?"
Jiang Xin was complaining and trying to turn to the next piece of news when there was a knock on the door.
Liu Shishi had just finished stretching, so she went forward and opened the door. She saw Huo Siyan, who had dressed neatly, standing outside the door. She smiled and said to the three of them, "Brother Kun is inviting us to have breakfast at the famous Hongzhuan Morning Market Street nearby. Has anyone signed up?"
"I me me!"
Jiang Xin immediately dropped his notebook and was the first to jump up and sign up.
Yang Mi signed up shortly after. Liu Shishi hesitated for a moment, but before she could make up her mind, she was represented by Jiang Xin - Liu Shishi was not unsociable, she just didn't want to see Xu Kun getting too close to the sisters.
Seeing that all three had signed up, Huo Siyan specifically told Liu Shishi and Jiang Xin to disguise themselves according to yesterday's specifications, and then prepared to leave.
"Sister Si Yan!"
Jiang Xin hurriedly stopped her and asked, "Are Sister Yiyan and Sister Xiaolu going?"
Huo Siyan didn't quite understand why she asked about these two people, but she still said, "Xiaolu is not going, but Yiyan is going."
"Oh~"
Jiang Xin suddenly wilted.
…………
This red brick morning market is actually not much busier than the morning market in the capital, but because the weather is too cold, the steam from the pots is rising and most of the street seems to be shrouded in clouds and mist, making it different from the morning market in the capital.
Although they were already in disguise, the seven young and beautiful beauties [Li Xiaolu, Qin Lan, and Zeng Lai did not follow] traveling together still attracted a lot of attention.
All the girls had big eyes and small stomachs. They bought half of the street like a bear trying to break off a stick, and more than half of the goods went into the stomachs of the three guys.
Seeing that it was not a good idea to continue wandering around like this, Xu Kun randomly picked a relatively busy breakfast shop and put two tables together to form a large table.
After ordering the food, Xu Kun nibbled on the fried toad with red sausage he had just bought and asked, "Where did you go yesterday? Any recommendations?"
“The first choice is definitely Ice and Snow World and Sun Island.”
As the oldest sister, Hao Lei took it upon herself to introduce the exhibition: "The former has more activities, and the latter has the most ice sculptures. If you get tired of playing in the middle, you can go to the Polar Pavilion, where there are performances by penguins, polar bears, etc. You can sit down and watch the performances."
Jiang Yiyan added: "There is also the Saint Sophia Cathedral. It looks shabby during the day, but it is very beautiful when the lights are turned on at night. We mainly visited these places yesterday. Today we plan to visit the Siberian Tiger Park, the Museum and the Flood Control Memorial Tower."
"Flood Control Memorial Tower?"
"Yes, I heard there are a lot of fun projects there."
Xu Kun memorized these projects and said, "Then let's go our separate ways today, and we'll go to the ski resort together tomorrow. The day after tomorrow we'll make up for the attractions we missed and the 731 site."
"Remains of Unit 731?"
Jiang Xin asked in confusion: "I heard it's very scary inside. Why are you going there during the New Year?"
"Look at your awareness!"
Xu Kun said disdainfully: "During the New Year, we should receive patriotic education and remember the national hatred and family feuds."
Li Yixiang added: "And accept an interview from Harbin TV."
"That was just incidental!" Xu Kun said firmly, "The main purpose is to receive education and remember the national hatred and family feuds - otherwise why would I choose to be interviewed here?"
Yang Mi sat in the corner, watching Xu Kun chatting with several sisters, secretly regretting in her heart. If she had been closer to Brother Kun in the crew of "New Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", if she had not taken the initiative to withdraw from the re-examination of "Lin Yuxin", wouldn't she be the one who is so popular now?
Although she still has hope for "Wang Zhaojun", she is not as sure as before that she will become famous.
Or maybe...
I should find a way out for myself in advance. After all, I am no longer an 18-year-old girl. I can't keep relying on Rong Xinda and director Li Shaohong.
So after finishing breakfast, Yang Mi took the opportunity when Xu Kun went to pay the bill and leaned over to whisper, "Brother Kun, can we take a few photos alone tomorrow?"
"why?"
Xu Kun glanced at her and vaguely saw a familiar aura from this girl - if this was a game, the transaction option should have popped up by now.
Yang Mi lowered her head in a shy manner and said, "Isn't the New Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio going to be broadcast on satellite TV? According to the agreement, we need to hype it up a bit more, and I want to be prepared in advance."
Although this reason is reasonable, the feeling of "tradability" is stronger.
"Then let's shoot it."
Xu Kun looked indifferent. What he was least afraid of now was trading, and what he was most afraid of was falling in love.

Beijing.
"Deng Chao wants to audition Lu Tao?!"
When Wen Zhang received a call from Tong Dawei, he thought there was news about his recommendation for the second male lead audition, but he didn't expect that Tong Dawei had a competitor.
"Brother Dawei, how come Deng Chao suddenly showed up? Didn't Director Zhao have his eye on you long ago?"
The two met when they were performing "Days Related to Youth". At that time, Tong Dawei was very caring towards Wen Zhang, and Wen Zhang always called him "Brother Dawei". That's why Tong Dawei recommended Wen Zhang to play the role of Xiangnan in "Struggle".
But Tong Dawei said on the phone: "I heard that Xu Kun recommended him two days ago. Xu Kun is so famous now, and he is connected to Huayi. Director Zhao has to give him some face."
"Brother Kun?!"
Wen Zhang was surprised and asked, "How did he know this?!"
"Li Xiaolu was supposed to have revealed the news to Xu Kun early on that she would play the second female lead. Later, Xu Kun recommended himself but was rejected by Director Zhao. So he recommended Deng Chao instead."
Wen Zhang felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this, and thought to himself, Brother Kun clearly knew about this, but why didn't he tell him?
And since he wanted to recommend someone, why didn't he recommend himself?
The last time they recorded "Happy Camp", Xu Kun didn't stand on his side, but forced him to apologize to He Jiong, which made Wen Zhang a little unhappy. Now...
However, when he thought about Zhu Yawen's matter, Wen Zhang quickly calmed down.
Xu Kun chose him as a producer both times. Just for this favor, he could only be grateful and had no right to blame Xu Kun at all.
Moreover, he also kept the audition for Zhao Baogang's new play a secret from Xu Kun - of course, Wen Zhang had his own reasons, which was that he was worried that Xu Kun and Tong Dawei would snatch the leading role.
But this reason would definitely not work in front of Xu Kun.
So Wen Zhang suppressed his dissatisfaction and said to Tong Dawei in a casual manner: "Let's fight. With your acting skills and fame, how can Deng Chao be your opponent?"
"I hope so."
Tong Dawei smiled bitterly and assured Wen Zhang, "Don't worry, even if I don't get to play Lu Tao in the end, I will definitely try my best to help you get the role of Xiang Nan."
While Wen Zhang was touched, he was wondering whether he should ask his girlfriend Ma Yili for some support.
The reason why he kept it a secret before was that he didn't want others to say that he was a gigolo. Now that he is famous, even if he is not as famous as Ma Yili, he is not far behind. Otherwise, he might as well make their relationship clear.
Thinking of this, he excitedly called Ma Yili, but was rejected by Ma Yili.
The reason is that the two are not lovers in the play. If Director Zhao knew that they were a couple in real life, he would probably reconsider the casting for fear of emotional conflicts.
After Wen Zhang hung up the phone angrily, he came to the conclusion that he was not famous enough.
If I could be more famous than Brother Kun, even if I wanted to bring my girlfriend into the group, who would dare to object?
By then, Brother Kun will definitely not dare to ignore me anymore!
