Chapter 283: What Cannot Be Performed in the Classroom
[I was half asleep and felt dizzy, so I was late. 】
Turn around.
When the day of the official recording of the 6 to 3 PK came, the group of judges was expanded again.
Feng Xiaogang's group has a new member, Wang Zhonglei; Chen Kaige's group has a new member, Liang Ting - a pretty young woman who seems to get along well with Chen Hong, so I guess she should have some background.
Zhang Jizhong's team continued to maintain an all-male lineup, and on the basis of Yu Min, they added the first assistant director of "The Return of the Condor Heroes".
As soon as they met in the recording hall, Wang Zhonglei winked at Xu Kun and joked, "Kun'er, do you have anyone you like? It's already 6 to 3, and the choices are getting narrower and narrower."
"..."
Why is he acting like a pimp as soon as we meet?
But considering Wang Zhonglei's reputation in the industry, Xu Kun didn't find it strange.
He casually joked, "Second brother, could it be that you have someone in mind and are afraid of running into me?"
"It's just for fun, what's there to be afraid of if it hits you?"
Wang Zhonglei smiled meaningfully: "But we probably won't run into each other this time, and I don't know if there will be a chance in the future."
Xu Kun was shocked when he saw his smile and quickly denied it: "No, impossible, absolutely impossible!"
No wonder he said to let him choose whatever he wanted, it seems he was targeting the male contestants this time.
As they were talking, the program director came over with Zhu Xun and Li Chen, saying that in addition to the "professional audience", the relatives and friends of the top six contestants in each group would also be present.
In order to avoid "disturbing the guests", the directors had to go back to the dressing room to rest.
So everyone went backstage again.
In the locker room, the three of them closed the door and chatted. Wang Zhonglei became more and more outspoken, and Feng Xiaogang also kept saying golden sentences.
However, as they were chatting, Xu Kun suddenly discovered a problem. Feng Xiaogang talked about his previous movies, including "Assembly", which was still in the project establishment stage, but never mentioned "The Banquet", which had been completed and was just waiting to be released in the summer.
Thinking of Ge You's indescribable sigh at the time, Xu Kun became more and more curious about what went wrong with the film.
While Feng Xiaogang was going to the bathroom, Xu Kun asked tentatively, "Second brother, why are you talking about Assembly all the time today? The promotion of The Banquet is about to start, right?"
"Ah~"
Hearing Xu Kun mention The Banquet, Wang Zhonglei couldn't help but sigh, and then lowered his voice and said: "After all, The Banquet was Director Feng's first big movie. The psychological pressure was too great. He became ill after filming. My eldest brother specifically told us not to mention The Banquet recently, so as not to affect Director Feng's treatment."
Xu Kun also heard about the disease. It was said that he contracted vitiligo during the filming, but it was not noticeable in the past two days, so he just thought it was a rumor.
Now it seems that it was covered up with makeup.
This reason is reasonable, but Xu Kun always feels that it is not the case. If Feng Xiaogang really needs to "rest" for a while, then why rush to start the project of "Assembly"?
Feng Xiaogang was not so anxious to make movies before. I guess there was something wrong with "Night Banquet" itself.
Knock knock knock~
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Wang Zhonglei said "Come in", and a little girl timidly pushed the door open. Without even seeing who was in the room, she hurriedly bowed: "Hello, Director Feng, Director Xu, and President Wang. I'm Cui Beibei, replacing Zhang Yabei. I hope, I hope..."
Halfway through her speech, she finally realized that the number of people on the other side was wrong, and she panicked for a moment.
"Why are you stumbling over your words?"
Wang Zhonglei casually criticized: "Based on this performance, do you think you have a chance to advance to the top three?"
Cui Beibei became more and more panicked, and her eyes turned red when she looked up.
"I just came over to say hello."
Seeing this, Xu Kun stepped out to smooth things over, saying, "Go back and work hard. Although you are a temporary addition, whether you can advance depends on your performance on the spot."
Having said that, in fact, he had already sentenced Cui Beibei to death in his heart. She was pulled in halfway to replace Zhang Yabei who had acute appendicitis. She had already lost a step at the starting point. Moreover, she had not participated in yesterday's rehearsal. This was pure forcing. Unless she was some hidden genius, she had basically locked in a spot for elimination.
But if he is really a genius, how could he have wasted his time in Beijing Film Academy until now without even a little fame?
"Thank you Director Xu, I will definitely work hard!"
Cui Beibei bowed again with gratitude.
Xu Kun waved his hand, signaling her to go back and prepare well.
But just as Cui Beibei took two steps back and was about to turn around and leave, Wang Zhonglei suddenly said, "Are you leaving just like that? Aren't you going to meet Director Feng?"
Cui Beibei seemed to be under a spell and immediately stood at the door motionless.
Wang Zhonglei saw that she was at a loss, so he said, "You didn't attend the rehearsal yesterday, did you? What talents did you prepare? Show them first and let our Director Xu give you some guidance. Who knows, he might just open his mouth and you'll advance to the top three."
Cui Beibei subconsciously glanced at Xu Kun, then bit her lower lip and said, "I have prepared a song. I will sing it a cappella first. Please give me some advice, Director Xu and President Wang."
"Wait a moment!"
Wang Zhonglei raised his right hand and made a disdainful expression, saying, "Aren't you from Beijing Film Academy? How can singing be considered a talent? Is there nothing related to your major? For example, liberating one's nature? Come on, show our Director Xu something that can't be performed in school."
Why don't you say it's the kind that's not allowed to be broadcast on the radio.
Xu Kun said speechlessly: "Second brother, that's enough. Stop making fun of the girl all the time. Go back and prepare first. Show yourself well on the stage and try not to leave any regrets."
This was obviously meant to help Cui Beibei out, but Cui Beibei got angry when she heard it: "Director Xu, I can act! I, I've learned to liberate my nature very well, if you don't believe me, just watch!"
As she said that, she started to crawl forward with her hands on the ground. When she reached in front of Xu Kun, she suddenly swung her tail and turned around, with one leg raised high up, like a bitch who was about to pee on Xu Kun's trouser leg.
Xu Kun quickly dodged and shouted, "What are you doing? Hurry up, get up, or I'll go find the production team and ask them to replace you immediately!"
"Don't, don't!"
Cui Beibei was so scared that she quickly got up, and under Xu Kun's gaze, she covered her face and rushed out of the locker room.
"Look at what you have done."
Wang Zhonglei even gloated and turned the tables: "Even if she doesn't like this style, what's wrong with you letting her perform? Now, if she is eliminated in the top 6, she will probably hate you for the rest of her life."
Xu Kun was too lazy to argue with him. In fact, if Cui Beibei had performed for him privately, he would have accepted it. But in front of Wang Zhonglei, Xu Kun felt uncomfortable.
This is probably because although he is romantic and lustful, he is not open enough in his bones.
Putting this episode aside, because the 6 to 3 voting was live, and because the three major directors appeared at the same time, the contestants and judges seemed to be more cautious and conservative, and even the sensationalism was not as enthusiastic as the 12 to 6.
The most obvious one was Zhao Liying. When the host asked her if she wanted to say something to the fathers in the audience, she shook her head decisively and said, "Forget it."
In fact, her positioning in "Yahoo Star Search" is a bit like Yang Chaoyue in later generations. She is not good at singing, her acting is exaggerated, and she is a person who lets go of everything, but her popularity remains high.
The program crew is also happy to create legends of grassroots counterattacks, so there were obviously more shots of Zhao Liying in this live broadcast, second only to Ailijiang Kurban from the male group.
Shortly after the live broadcast ended, Xu Kun suddenly received a call from Liu Shishi.
The girl didn't say anything, she just remained silent, which made Xu Kun think that she had met with an accident.
Later, Cai Yinong took over the call, and Xu Kun learned that Liu Shishi had already arrived in South Korea and was about to enter the operating room to begin "fine-tuning."
The girl was feeling complicated and nervous, so she called Xu Kun at Cai Yinong's instigation. But after the call was connected, she didn't know what to say.
Liu Shishi herself may not have realized it yet, but Xu Kun had already noticed Cai Yinong's intentions.
Isn’t it said that once a person becomes famous, he will be surrounded by good people?
How come after I became famous, I'm surrounded by pimps? !
