Chapter 272: A knife on the head of the word sex
"Are you sure this shortlist is okay?"
Two days later, Xu Kun was a little confused when he received the list of top 75 [25 people in each group].
What about those generous and wealthy girls?
This was chosen by voting. Do young people nowadays like "young lotus just showing its tip"? Otherwise, how could the Ripple Army be completely wiped out?
As they were all adults, Huang Bin naturally understood what Xu Kun was questioning, and immediately said helplessly: "When the program was broadcast, someone complained that it was immoral. The production team discussed it and felt that when the top 12 of each group had to rehearse group dances, those girls who stood out too much and jumped around were indeed a bit indecent, so they used some technical means to eliminate them."
So what else is there to watch in this show?
Xu Kun asked, "What are the ratings of this show after it airs?"
"The first few issues were just so-so, but this swimsuit issue is okay."
It turns out that the public has sharp eyes, but the program team is rather ridiculous. Instead of increasing the efforts on the effective method, they directly eliminated the biggest highlight.
You still want to cheat Super Girl with this?
Although many of the Super Girls are not good-looking, what they compete on is their voice, and you can intuitively feel the contestants' strength with your ears.
Yahoo Star Search does not have a benchmark at all.
In the past two days, Xu Kun also searched the previous few PKs of the show and found that singing and performance are not hard conditions for advancement.
After eliminating those generous and wealthy ones, the biggest attraction of this show is only the three famous directors.
uh~
Including Xu, they should be the four famous directors.
Although Xu Kun's enthusiasm for the program has run out, since he has agreed to be Feng Xiaogang's substitute judge, he will definitely do his job well.
"Who are the outstanding people in our group?"
"The most popular one at the moment is Zhang Yabei. She used to be a member of the synchronized swimming team. After retiring, she joined the Central Academy of Drama..."
I have some impression of Zhang Yabei Xu Kun. Although he is not rich, his behavior is quite generous and his demeanor is calm and composed - it's no wonder that he was from the synchronized swimming team.
"There are also Ren Beibei, He Qian, and Wang Yuanyuan. The first two are students at Beijing Film Academy, and the latter is from the Performance Department of Tianjin University."
“Tianjin University also has a performance department?”
“I just found out about this, too.”
"Are these people all trained in professional schools? Are there no ordinary people who are a little more outstanding?"
"Well, there is a pretty good girl named Fu Siqi, and there is also Xia Ni from an ethnic minority, and then there is Zhao Liying. Although these few have average talents and are far inferior to those who graduated from professional schools, they all have their own characteristics."
By listening to Huang Bin's comments, you can see his preferences.
"So who do you think the show wants to win?"
“It’s hard to say who it will be, but it should be an ordinary player who eventually overtakes. After all, everyone likes to see the Cinderella story of a comeback.”
hmm~
Although Xiao Huang's stance is biased, he is still relatively rational when dealing with specific matters.
Among these people, the only one that sounded familiar to Xu Kun was 'Zhao Liying', so before going to participate in the recording of the program, he briefly learned about Zhao Liying's situation.
"Hey, her father is also a policeman, which is quite similar to Yang Mi."
Qin Lan, who brought the tea, heard this and subconsciously came over to watch for a while. Then he couldn't help laughing and said, "This little girl is quite brave. She can sing so much out of tune, but she can still finish singing with great joy."
"Indeed, this girl is quite likable."
Xu Kun nodded slightly, and then he noticed that Qin Lan's eyes had changed. He said speechlessly, "I just made a casual compliment, you don't need to be so alert, right? How about you come with me?"
"Forget it, they didn't invite me."
Qin Lan looked at Zhao Liying, who was singing "I Want to Fly, Fly High and Far in My World" at the top of her lungs on the screen, and said sourly, "Besides, looking at these young girls, I always feel like I'm getting old."
Without saying a word, Xu Kun picked her up by the waist and walked towards the bedroom. To deal with such a melancholy woman, one must inject positive energy into her.
In the past few days, apart from Yahoo Star Search, Xu Kun has focused his main energy on two advertisements for Mercedes-Benz E280. Creativity is not a problem for him.
In the first one, he planned to take advantage of the popularity of "Lost on Journey" by dividing the screen into left and right. On one side, he drove a domestic Mercedes-Benz through mountains and rivers as if it were flat ground; on the other side, there were shots in "Lost on Journey" where Meng Hao struggled to transition from planes, trains, buses, ferries, to tractors.
I haven’t thought of a slogan for the ad yet.
The second one shows him dressed up as a chivalrous knight, competing with the E280 on a winding mountain road.
The E280 took the S-shaped road, while he used his lightness skills to take a straight shortcut, crossing mountains and ridges, as fast as the wind and as powerful as thunder.
As a result, every time I came out of the mountains and forests and onto the road, I could only smell the exhaust fumes of the E280.
Finally reaching the top of the mountain, he let go of his pride and arrogance and circled around the E280 in amazement.
When you touch the wheel hub, subtitles and voice-over will pop up on the screen: Beijing Mercedes-Benz E280, real kung fu, under your feet.
Beijing Benz was quite satisfied with these two advertising ideas, but requested an additional slogan of "pure German craftsmanship".
Now Xu Kun was unhappy. The first one was fine as it was not a sensitive point.
But the second one used the gimmick of martial arts. Losing to Beijing Mercedes-Benz can be said to be a sign of progress and that people today are better than the ancients. But you deliberately emphasized "pure German craftsmanship", so doesn't that change the meaning?
Audiences may not care about this kind of propaganda orientation of worshipping foreign things and fawning on foreigners now, but Xu Kun felt uncomfortable, so he was only willing to add it to the first advertisement and refused to add it to the second advertisement.
Things are at a standstill here for now.
Xu Kun is not in a hurry either. Before his box office revenue exceeded 100 million yuan, shooting commercials for luxury brands was a recognition of him by the luxury brands. Now that he has become a big director with a box office revenue of over 100 million yuan, shooting commercials for luxury brands again can be seen as not having the other party begging him to do so, but at least there is no need for him to deliberately flatter them.
In a blink of an eye, it was the 27th.
The rehearsal for each group of 25 to the top 12 finally began. Early in the morning, Xu Kun got in Jiang Yiyan's seventh-generation Accord and set off for the shooting location.
He had been to this place before. It was the studio where the TV series "Home with Kids" was filmed. It is now temporarily rented by Yahoo Star.
As usual, Zhu Yawen drove the car - although Huang Bin was attentive, he was a Huayi man after all, and the contract between Xu Kun and Huayi was far from being settled.
When passing by a newsstand, Xu Kun specifically asked Zhu Yawen to buy some newly published entertainment newspapers and magazines as a way to amuse himself on the way.
He has finally stopped dominating the headlines recently, and has been replaced by Huang Xiaoming and Liu Yifei, the leading actors of "The Return of the Condor Heroes".
Liu Yifei's Little Dragon Girl was praised unanimously, but Huang Xiaoming complained that it was greasy. Many people felt that when he and Liu Yifei stood together, they were not aunt and niece, but uncle and nephew.
Just as he was reading the story with great interest, Xu Kun suddenly came across an unexpected piece of news: "Fake becomes real, Pan Yueming and Dong Jie openly hold hands."
The following is some cliché about a golden boy and a beautiful girl falling in love on the set of a play.
This is wrong!
Could it be that Lao Pan really didn’t understand what Li Xiaolu meant?
Xu Kun subconsciously wanted to call Dong Jie and ask her what was going on.
But after thinking about it, he gave up the idea and sent a message to Li Xiaolu instead.
When they were almost at the studio, Li Xiaolu gave the answer: Dong Jie swore to Pan Yueming that she would never be with Liang Chaowei again, so instead of breaking up, the two officially announced their relationship.
What the hell is this?
At the beginning, Dong Jie clearly said that it didn't matter, and let herself...
uh~
In fact, if you think about it carefully, she is already schizophrenic, so how can what she says be credible?
Besides, she just said it didn't matter at the time, and she didn't say she would break up with Lao Pan...
This is a mess.
Xu Kun didn't know what to do for a moment. If he cut off contact with Dong Jie, he was afraid that she would get sick and poison Lao Pan to death; if he confronted Lao Pan directly, he was afraid that the matter would become a big deal and affect him.
Hey~
It is true that lust is a sword hanging over your head.
