Chapter 277 Accidental collision
But after Chen Hong came to the center of the stage, she was ready to go, vowing to embarrass Xu Kun in front of everyone, or at least to defeat him.
In fact, according to normal logic, Xu Kun has never offended Director Chen and his wife. Instead, it was Chen Kaige who had hindered Xu Kun's films in order to target Huayi.
But people are sometimes illogical, especially strong women.
The real reason why Chen Hong disliked Xu Kun was that "The Promise" had just suffered a huge loss and also lost its reputation, while Xu Kun's "Lost on Journey" had made a remarkable achievement with a small investment.
Those who were praising "The Promise" just now, now all ran to praise "Lost on Journey", and people often compare "Lost on Journey" and "The Promise".
This made Chen Hong feel that "Lost on Journey" was a special project by Huayi to slap "The Promise" in the face - even though Xu Kun himself did not mean that, she secretly hated Xu Kun.
The more Xu Kun was flattered, the more Chen Hong disliked him.
But since Yu Min was the referee, he would naturally be the one to set the questions.
Yu Min was worried that the questions were too difficult and the two would not be able to cooperate well and make a fool of themselves. He was also worried that the questions were too easy and would not bring out their best.
So he just made use of the material available: "How about this, you play a couple who are talking about marriage. One of them just won 500,000 yuan in the lottery, and the other has a family problem and needs a large sum of money. As for the personalities, relationships, and plot, you can decide them all by yourselves. The performance time is limited to five minutes."
"Row."
Chen Hong raised her chin slightly and said without question: "I play the one who won the lottery. I have a strong personality and I am a man!"
The first part was fine, but as soon as the last three words came out, the audience was in an uproar.
It’s not that men and women can’t play opposite roles, but Xu Kun’s stature makes him play a woman…
Moreover, the man is strong, and the woman is usually the weaker one. When everyone looked at Xu Kun's tall, mighty and masculine appearance on the stage, they really couldn't imagine how he could play a weak woman.
Xu Kun couldn't help but roll his eyes.
The setting of the 'strong man' is equivalent to pushing him into a corner. Apart from anything else, his body shape and voice make it naturally easy for people to be distracted when he plays a woman.
And since he has to play the role of a weak and needy female character, it usually means he has to beg and fawn on Chen Hong. In this way, even if he plays the role well enough, Chen Hong can take the opportunity to mock him.
But if you say this is unfair, Chen Hong is also playing a role opposite to the real person. If he objects, it will show that he is not good enough, and it will be published in some tabloids later...
Faced with this seemingly dilemma, Xu Kun hesitated for a moment before readily agreeing, "Okay, then I'll play a woman who is usually submissive."
As he said this, he stepped back a few steps and came to the corner of the stage. After gathering his emotions for a while, he said to Zhu Xun, "I'm ready."
Seeing this, Chen Hong also nodded to Zhu Xun.
Feeling that the atmosphere was not right, Zhu Xun nervously changed his hand, and then said: "Then I will count to 3, and the two teachers will start the performance - 1, 2, 3!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Hong paced back and forth excitedly on the stage. Her movements, expressions, and steps were all significantly different from before. If you look closely, you can roughly see some of Chen Kaige's shadow.
However, Xu Kun didn't even look at her. He bent his arms at his sides as if he was holding a vegetable basket. He lowered his head and slowly walked forward.
When he was still about ten feet away from Chen Hong, he put his feet together and made a gesture as if he was using a key to open the door.
"Xiao Xu!"
As soon as he walked in, Chen Hong immediately shouted in a hoarse voice: "Guess what I encountered today?!"
Xu Kun didn't even look up, but just shook his head slowly.
Chen Hong immediately answered her own question: "Hahaha, I won 500,000 yuan in the lottery I bought a few days ago. Now we finally have the money for our wedding, and we also have the money to pay for my parents' pension insurance!"
In the past two years, the country has introduced a policy to supplement the pension insurance for laid-off employees of old state-owned enterprises. Chen Honghua's use of it here can be considered to be in line with current affairs.
At the same time, this was also to make it more difficult for Xu Kun to ask for help from himself - my money has other uses, if you want to use it for emergency, you must do everything you can to convince me.
Upon hearing this, Xu Kun suddenly raised his head and looked at Chen Hong in disbelief. His mouth opened wide, but he couldn't utter a word for a long time. Instead, he slowly lowered his head.
Chen Hong was puzzled by this and thought, does this guy not want to "bow" to him?
So he immediately added: "Xiao Xu, what's wrong with you? Do you have something to say to me? Why are you hesitating? Are you really trying to drive me crazy?!"
As she spoke, her tone became more aggressive, showing her manliness to the fullest.
However, facing her pressure, Xu Kun still did not tell her that his family was in urgent need of money. Instead, he shook his head vigorously and said slowly: "Nothing, I'll go cook first."
If his appearance and facial features are out of place, try to hunch over and lower your head; if his voice is out of place, try to speak as little as possible, and when you must speak, use a low and slow tone.
Chen Hong watched Xu Kun pretend to walk a few steps toward the edge of the stage, then pretend to put down the basket of vegetables, as if he was really going to start cooking.
I couldn't help but sigh that this kid really has something. With this set of skills, all the other contestants combined couldn't match him.
But if you want to use this to buy time, you can't do that unless you bow to me!
Thinking this, Chen Hong wanted to catch up and continue pursuing him.
However, at this time Xu Kun did a strange action. He picked up something from the side, held it in front of his eyes and stared at it.
It's a knife!
The solemn atmosphere made Chen Hong guess what the "thing" in Xu Kun's hand was even without seeing his expression. The contestants in the audience felt it even more clearly, especially Zhao Liying and others in the front row, who experienced what "murderous aura" meant for the first time in their lives.
bad~
He is turning a tragedy into a murder case!
Chen Hong also had to admire Xu Kun's ability to respond. No wonder he could write a script like "Lost on Journey".
"Honey."
This was the first time Xu Kun took the initiative to speak. His voice was hollow and made people feel cold in their hearts: "Let's celebrate tonight. I'll buy you two bottles of Lao Baigan later."
Everyone was originally feeling tense because of the sudden change in the plot, but as soon as the three words "Laobai Gan" came out, the audience burst into laughter.
Brother Kun is truly worthy of being a great commercial film director. He even did not forget to advertise for the winery he endorsed.
Chen Hong was also a little speechless, but she was more anxious about how to break the impasse. If the situation continued to develop like this, after 5 minutes, the focus of the show would be entirely on Xu Kun.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'll go get my parents over, and the four of us will celebrate together!"
As he said that, he was about to push the door open and go out.
"and many more!"
Xu Kun suddenly raised his voice, bringing the audience, who had just been distracted from the show, back to the tense and exciting rhythm.
Then he turned his back to Chen Hong and said gently, "Dear, it's so late, don't disturb uncle and aunt. Let's celebrate first, and then wait until tomorrow..."
"Then I'll call and tell them first!"
Without waiting for him to finish, Chen Hong pretended to take out her cell phone.
"Don't!"
Xu Kun turned around suddenly and yelled, and the "knife" in his hand was aimed at Chen Hong.
Originally, he wanted to stop at the point and just perform the 'foreplay' of murder, but since Chen Hong wanted to speed up the process, he might as well perform the whole thing.
As a result, when he turned around, Chen Hong did not show any fear, but sneered: "What? You are a weak woman, do you want to use a knife on me?
Humph! Don't think I can't see what you want to do? You want to use my money to support your brother? You can only dream about it! "
What the hell is supporting your younger brother?
Xu Kun secretly cursed this woman for having so many tricks. It would have been fine if she had just temporarily given herself the setting of being powerless, but she even went so far as to label herself as a brother-supporting demon.
But he had no time to complain and could only yell hysterically: "Don't force me, I, I, I..."
"come on!"
Chen Hong pointed to her chest and shouted provocatively: "As long as you kill me, the 50 will be yours!"
"Don't push me, don't push me!"
Xu Kun was hunched over, his whole body trembling from his toes to his voice. Then he suddenly growled and stabbed forward with the knife raised.
Chen Hong was initially frightened by his aggressive look, but when she saw that he was full of momentum but moved very slowly, she calmly stretched out her hand, wanting to suppress Xu Kun on the spot.
The character who is powerless is set up for this reversal. If Xu Kun lets the knife be taken away obediently, what will follow is Chen Hong's counterattack from a superior position.
If Xu Kun refuses to admit his mistake, it would violate his character setting - although this character setting was temporarily imposed by Chen Hong, it did not prevent her from using it as an excuse to find fault with Xu Kun.
But Xu Kun's reaction once again surprised Chen Hong.
Just as she reached out to grab Xu Kun's wrist, Xu Kun suddenly grabbed her wrist with his backhand, then pushed his body forward, and then suddenly leaned back.
Chen Hong was unexpectedly knocked down by him, and by the time she came to her senses, she was already sitting on Xu Kun's belly.
Chen Hong subconsciously tried to struggle to get up, but Xu Kun took advantage of her strength and placed her hand next to his neck.
From other people's perspective, it seemed as if Chen Hong had taken the initiative to strangle him.
Chen Hong originally wanted to act like a demon, but her hands were firmly restrained. Every time she struggled, it seemed as if she was trying to strangle Xu Kun to death, and Xu Kun's kicking legs became weaker and weaker.
I was still fooled by him!
Xu Kun also hurriedly turned over and sat up, but did not dare to stand up straight. He just sat on the ground and bowed to the audience, trying to cover up the complications and the pain just now.
At this time, thunderous applause and cheers broke out from the audience.
As the saying goes, it is not a problem if you don't know the goods, but a problem if you compare the goods. After the contestants performed on stage themselves, they were all amazed by Xu Kun's on-the-spot reaction.
Of course, Chen Hong’s performance was also pretty good, especially the final scene where she gritted her teeth and pinched someone fiercely, which looked like she had really used all her strength.
The sudden change of expression after he finally realized that he had "killed someone" was a textbook classic - at least from the perspective of the audience, that's what it looked like.
