Chapter 281 Ge Yousan Questions
Xu Kun originally thought that Chen Hong would exaggerate what she saw and spread it around, and was even prepared to engage in a public opinion war.
But until the two rounds of PK from 12 to 5 were broadcast on Zhejiang Satellite TV, there was no report about Xu Jing's awkward dancing in the newspapers.
Xu Kun gradually came to his senses. Not to mention that it was just a misunderstanding, even if he really had dragged the player to the locker room and taken advantage of her, Chen Hong would most likely not expose the matter.
Because the one in her family is not clean either.
In other words, few of the well-known people in the circle are clean in this regard.
If she revealed Xu Kun's affairs to others, people would have to be more cautious when they came into contact with her in the future.
It would be fine if Xu Kun could be beaten to death with one blow, but Xu Kun is still single and has been involved in scandals since his debut. In the end, this matter may end up hurting the enemy by 800 and hurting oneself by 1,000.
With Chen Hong's cleverness, how could he do such a losing business?
So Xu Kun gradually stopped worrying about this matter.
As for Xu Jing, because this woman was so persistent, Xu Kun finally had to introduce her to the crew of "Struggle". Anyway, the crew of "Struggle" still needed a lot of supporting roles, so she was not a big deal.
In late April, the seven people who were eliminated from the top twelve competed in two revival matches to compete for the final six.
During this period, Zhang Yabei, a popular contestant from Feng Xiaogang's group, was sent to the hospital due to acute appendicitis. In the end, he had to be replaced by someone else.
June 4.
Yahoo Star Search has reached the final round of 6 to 3.
This time, Xu Kun finally didn't have to engage in a heated argument with Chen Hong, because Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Jizhong all made their final appearances.
Xu Kun changed his job from a special judge to an assistant performer.
When Feng Xiaogang came this time, he also brought a script to Xu Kun - this is the war-themed blockbuster he is preparing after "Night Banquet".
The original work is a novel called "The Lawsuit", and the name of the movie is tentatively set as "Assembly", with a total investment of about 8000 million.
According to the preliminary contract between Xu Kun and Huayi, Xu Kun will play the leading male role Guzidi and also serve as the first assistant director.
After getting the script, Xu Kun no longer cared about the variety show. While reading the script, he asked Zhu Yawen to buy the original novel.
By the afternoon, he had roughly gone through the script and the original work.
how to say……
The characters in this drama are very well-developed, especially the character Guzidi that he is going to play. If he performs well, he will definitely be worthy of being a best actor, or at least be nominated for an award.
The scenes are designed to be grand, bloody, and realistic...
But the fact that the retreat assembly call was not sounded made Xu Kun feel uneasy - he had been educated by the Party for more than 20 years and still had basic political sensitivity.
Because he felt it was inappropriate, he went to the Internet to check it out, and found that there was not much information on this subject and the description was rather vague [Note: much of the information on the PLA’s relevant disciplinary regulations was posted online after the movie was released].
"Kun'er~"
At this time, Feng Xiaogang, who had just finished an interview with Zhu Xun along with Chen Kaige and Zhang Jizhong, came over, put his arm around Xu Kun's shoulders and said with a smile: "How is it, isn't this script amazing? I tell you, when I found this script, the first person I thought of was you, kid. The image of the tough guy in Guzidi is none other than you!"
In fact, the first person Feng Xiaogang thought of was Zhang Hanyu.
But Zhang Hanyu's fame was not at the same level as Xu Kun's. In addition, the big and small Wangs of Huayi also wanted to get this film and quickly finalized the contract with Xu Kun, so they decided to cast Xu Kun as the leading actor.
"This is a good book."
Xu Kun hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth: "Captain Liu wanted to trick Gu Zidi into dying from the beginning, and didn't arrange for anyone to blow the assembly call. Would it be considered as smearing JFJ?"
Feng Xiaogang was not annoyed when he heard this, but shook his head and said, "Don't worry, this story has a prototype. The old PLA soldier is called Chang Menglan, who is from your Hebei Guoji Village. He searched and sued for forty years before he finally found his old unit."
Hearing that there was a prototype, Xu Kun felt relieved, but he still felt that something was wrong.
"Even if there is a prototype, putting it out there so blatantly, isn't it..."
"You are quite feudal."
Feng Xiaogang disagreed and said: "We are not making this up. Besides, there have been many worse things happening in the past. We are still holding back." Xu Kun agreed.
Even the most disciplined organizations and troops are bound to have some extreme cases. He is not a network diode, so he will not deny the existence of some cases just because of the overall image of the troops.
After all, if it is true, as some people say, that the organization and the troops were united and everyone was a die-hard revolutionary, then how could the word "betraying the revolution" appear?
If we insist on completely denying the existence of individual cases, it will make people feel that something is wrong.
But the existence of individual cases and the use of these individual cases to publicize them and then cause people to have a general denial of the revolutionary martyrs are another matter.
This carelessness can easily trigger a backlash from public opinion.
Seeing that Xu Kun was still struggling with this, Feng Xiaogang said unhappily, "China Film Corporation was able to approve my film, but you can't, right? You don't have to worry about the script. Just prepare well and bring Gu Zidi to life for me!"
Since Feng Xiaogang had said so, Xu Kun didn't know what to say. However, he had no way to vent the resistance in his heart, and he always felt suffocated.
So after the recording of the program was over, he went directly to Ge You's house to ask Uncle Ge for some advice.
"About this matter..."
After hearing his thoughts, Ge You smacked his lips and said, "Hua Yi and Lao Feng also have their own considerations. You think this story will cause controversy, but is controversy a bad thing for a movie?"
"This……"
Xu Kun has also made movies, so he naturally knows that sometimes controversy also means popularity, and popularity often means box office.
But the problem is that this story involves issues of right and wrong!
If it were really exposed, it might be boycotted by the audience.
“Who will explode?”
Ge You asked in return: "In other words, do you think that faced with such a movie plot, most media will help sing praises, or will they criticize him and smear JFJ?"
"This……"
Xu Kun fell silent again. Based on his understanding of the current media, especially the southern media, he was sure that when this film was released, most of the media would jump out to sing its praises.
Some even say things like "this is the real situation back then", "it has flesh and blood, character and truth"...
After a long while, he managed to utter: "But there will definitely be someone on the Internet who will break this window paper!"
Ge You asked again: "Even if there is no such plot, and the film is completely made into a great and glorious image, do you think there will be more people praising or criticizing online?"
There will definitely be more scolding.
These days, domestic TV dramas and movies on the Internet are subject to original sin. If you make them look great and glorious, there will definitely be a lot of people saying that they are political propaganda or model operas.
Maybe there will be more people criticizing the revised plot than the original one.
This time Xu Kun was completely depressed.
He originally thought that he could modify the script to make the film less flawed, and there was no need to touch upon those major issues. But now, after listening to Uncle Ge's words, he realized that he had been too naive.
Or maybe he was overthinking it.
"Kun'er."
Finally, Ge You patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you are determined to be a director and make your own things, then it doesn't matter whether you act in this movie or not - but if you still have aspirations on the path of being an actor, then don't worry about these right and wrongs, just shape the character first."
Xu Kun hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said, "Uncle, I understand. I will play this role well!"
It's not that he doesn't want to "create his own thing", but "Lost on Journey" was made based on his impressions, and he really wasn't sure if he wanted to create his own thing.
At the very least, we have to improve the level of directors first.
So Xu Kun decided to collect scripts as soon as he returned and start practicing with TV dramas.
