Chapter 265 Dong Lu
Xu Kun was sweating profusely because of Han Sanping's stare. He thought that Han Sanye and Wang Zhonglei were of the same kind, but he felt relieved when he heard this.
If it were someone else who had just achieved such great success and was suddenly asked to give up this style of play, they would definitely not understand, would be angry, and would feel aggrieved.
Of course Xu Kun was somewhat unhappy, but he knew from the beginning that this fan economy would become a notorious thing - his young cellmates, when talking about idols who benefited from the fan economy, it was exactly the same as talking about stinky dog shit.
So he never thought about doing this for a long time.
Therefore, when Xu Kun heard that Han Sanping wanted him to give up this career, he was relieved and said with a calm smile: "Boss Han, if you hadn't said this, I wouldn't have planned to continue doing this - I still prefer being an actor to being a director."
This answer was obviously beyond Han Sanping's expectations. He was stunned for a moment before trying to make amends: "Don't get me wrong, this is my personal opinion, not from above... I don't mean to force you, I just want to discuss it with you."
Han Sanping thought that Xu Kun was frightened by him, so he cooperated so well.
"Boss Han, I didn't misunderstand you."
Xu Kun said seriously: "I reviewed the whole process afterwards and found that this model is too easy to put the cart before the horse. If the purpose is just to make money, you will find that letting the actors attract more fans is the simplest and most direct way to make money, and the film itself becomes secondary.
Super Girl and a host of recent talent shows have proved that idols can be mass-produced. When these two are combined... who will be willing to make movies seriously in the future?
To be honest, I didn’t think too much about it at first. I just wanted to use all the advantages I could to make my first movie a better success, but I didn’t expect to accidentally end up on such a wrong path.”
At this point, Xu Kun scratched his head and pretended to be a little embarrassed, saying: "I took the wrong path before, and it was only by becoming an actor that I gradually got on the right track. So I sincerely hope that this industry can be better and last longer, and that I can make real commercial blockbusters like Hollywood!"
The more Han Sanping listened, the brighter his eyes became. As a seasoned man, he could naturally tell that Xu Kun's words were meant to please him.
But this is not important. What is important is that Xu Kun can see things so clearly and is willing to reflect on the new model he has created from the perspective of the overall development of Chinese films.
He had never seen this kind of pattern in Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, or Feng Xiaogang, but he didn't expect to see it in a 25-year-old young man today!
At this moment, Han Sanping even had an impulse to recruit Xu Kun into China Film Group and train him to be his future successor.
However, he quickly dismissed this idea. One cannot make it in the system just by having vision and ability. Even with the protection of Mr. Han San, Xu Kun may not be able to gain a foothold in China Film.
Moreover, Xu Kun is a good person in every other aspect except his private life. This is not a problem for an unmarried celebrity, but it is a big problem for a state official.
"good very good!"
Han Sanping praised loudly, staring at Xu Kun with burning eyes and said, "Then can you convince LeTV to cooperate with China Film to temporarily block the news?"
"This……"
Xu Kun hesitated and said, "Boss Han, if you want to block this road, it will not be very useful to just target me and LeTV. As the saying goes, 'wherever you go, there will be traces.' Sooner or later, the things I have done will be revealed."
"It's impossible to ban it. We can postpone it for two or three years to prevent everyone from rushing to take this shortcut." Han Sanping said decisively: "The country is currently developing cinema chains. In the next few years, more influential blockbusters will surely emerge. With enough benchmarks, the blockbuster policy will not be overwhelmed by this deformed fan economy."
"Okay then. I'll talk to President Jia later. President Jia is a man with a strong sense of patriotism. I think he should be willing to cooperate with China Film Group to block the news."
Compared with online trolls, Jia attaches more importance to LeTV Video Network, and having a good relationship with the actual helmsman of China Film Group will definitely be beneficial to LeTV Video Network.
Compared to Lao Jia, Xu Kun is more worried about Huayi. Huayi is full of expectations and wants to copy them. If he turns around and tells them that this is not feasible, will the Wang brothers be happy?
"Don't worry, I'll talk to Mr. Wang alone later."
Han Sanping immediately promised, and then pulled Xu Kun aside to ask about some details that he had not been able to find. He then stood up and said, "It's getting late, so I won't disturb you guys from celebrating. Please tell Mr. Wang that I'll treat him to dinner at our old place the day after tomorrow."
It was obvious that he had no intention of returning to the banquet hall.
However, he did not refuse Xu Kun's offer to take him downstairs.
When they reached the main entrance downstairs, Xu Kungang said, "Boss Han, have a safe trip."
Han Sanping corrected him seriously, "What's the use of Mr. Han or Mr. Han? Just call me Uncle Han."
Then, he patted Xu Kun on the shoulder and said, "If you have any difficulties in the future, come to me directly at China Film. I can't do other things, but I can still provide protection for young people."
It can be seen that he really admires Xu Kun.
This kind of appreciation is not appreciation for young directors, but appreciation for people with similar ideals.
Send Han Sanping away.
Xu Kun returned to the Kunlun Hotel and waited for about 2 minutes before the elevator arrived.
When the elevator door opened, there was only a female star dressed in a gorgeous dress inside. Xu Kun stared at her innocent face full of blush for a second or two before he recognized that it was Dong Jie, the heroine of "The Story of a Noble Family".
This girl is a famous pure and innocent girl.
When "The Story of a Noble Family" was popular in 03, her popularity was higher than Liu Yifei's. However, after she went to Hong Kong Island, she was gradually overtaken by Liu Yifei.
However, she seems to have returned to the mainland to develop her career recently. She starred in a drama called "Red Dress Workshop" which was broadcast on CCTV-8. Unfortunately, it was overshadowed by CCTV-'s "Wulin Waijia"
Thinking about the other person's resume, Xu Kun stepped aside to make way for Dong Jie, signaling her to go first. However, when Dong Jie saw Xu Kun, her drowsy eyes suddenly brightened up. Seeing Xu Kun step aside, she did not walk out of the elevator, but took a half step back.
When Xu Kun saw this posture, he guessed that the other party was probably trying to take the opportunity to establish a relationship with him.
He had become accustomed to this kind of thing recently, so he walked into the elevator without thinking much and pressed the floor where the banquet hall was located.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he pulled his hand back, Dong Jie came forward and pressed the button from the 6th floor all the way to the 17th floor - the 18th floor was the banquet hall.
The second, third, fourth and fifth floors are restaurants and some entertainment facilities.
Xu Kun glanced at Dong Jie in surprise, thinking that this girl was quite blatant.
Dong Jie seemed to be frightened by this look, and lowered her head deeply, saying, "I've seen you in the movie 'Heavenly Sword'."
"Uh~"
This opening line is very familiar. Many people will use this reason to get closer to Xu Kun, but the chance of "Heavenly Sword and Fairy" appearing is relatively small. Generally, in order to show that they are his old fans, they will cite "Conquer" and "The Young Emperor" as examples.
Just when Xu Kun thought that this was just another ordinary chat, Dong Jie immediately asked, "Is the part where he got hit by the knee real?"
"Huh~"
Xu Kun couldn't hold it anymore.
It’s not that no one asks this question normally. Wang Zhonglei has asked it before, but that was only asked after both parties got to know each other. How could a girl ask this when they first met?
However, after being surprised, Xu Kun thought about what Li Xiaolu had said before, that because of this shot, he might be targeted by some female celebrities who looked innocent but actually had particularly big appetites.
Xu Kun glanced at Dong Jie again. This girl looked very pure.
Is it...
Did I meet someone who knows what he is talking about?
"cough~"
Xu Kun coughed dryly and said vaguely: "It was indeed painful at the time."
Dong Jie's breathing became noticeably faster after hearing this. As the elevator was rising again, she said in a trembling voice, "I have a boyfriend."
"Clam?!"
Why does this woman talk in a mixed way?
Xu Kun was completely confused. He had seen people playing hard to get, but he had never heard of someone teasing someone for a few words and then suddenly locking the door shut.
What is this picture?
Are you kidding?
Just as I was speechless, I heard Dong Jie's trembling voice: "So I won't pester you, I just want to know the difference between big and small..."
This thirst for knowledge...
I would like to respectfully call him Elk No. 2, or simply Dong Lu!
For a moment, Xu Kun suspected that this was a trap, but Han Sanping left on a whim, so it was unlikely that he would be ambushed.
But he still questioned: "Just because of this?"
Dong Jie was silent for a moment, then said: "You said you wouldn't find a girlfriend before you were 35, and you've been with so many people..."
"What about your boyfriend?"
"How would he know?"
Dong Jie raised her head in confusion and met Xu Kun's eyes, as if she found Xu Kun very puzzled.
This woman...
It’s the entertainment industry, not strange, not strange.
Glancing at Dong Jie's innocent face again, Xu Kun finally couldn't resist the temptation and gave her a final test: "Meet on the rooftop in fifteen minutes. If you have any unnecessary cover on you by then, we'll pretend nothing happened."
Dong Jie's breathing stopped for a moment when she heard that, and then she replied seriously with a "OK".
Her face was obviously redder, but it was not the initial flush from drinking, but was filled with the color of excitement...
