Chapter 285 The Prototype of Meng Hao's Universe
On the afternoon of June 5th.
Wang Baoqiang, who was filming "Soldier Assault" in Yunnan, took time out of his busy schedule to return to Beijing.
The purpose is naturally to sign a contract with Huayi together with Xu Kun.
I haven't seen him for over a month. He has become darker and thinner, and looks a bit like when we first met, except that he looks a lot cleaner and more capable than before.
"Brother Kun."
As soon as they met, Bao Qiang asked, "Have you found the person who was hiding behind the scenes and fanning the flames?"
This made no sense. Xu Kun thought about it carefully before he realized that he was talking about the mastermind who had used the rape incident to stir up trouble on the Internet.
I didn't expect that he was still thinking about this.
"I didn't find anything. The other party was not easy to deal with. I heard that they used a foreign IP address. I couldn't find out anything further."
Xu Kun said, putting his arm around Bao Qiang's shoulders, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go, let's go have a drink - it's still the same place as before. Brother Chen and Brother Li are both here."
The so-called old place is where the two had dinner with director Li Yang for the first time, which is also near Beishatan.
When I passed the intersection of College Street, I didn't know what kind of event was going on, but it was so crowded that people were almost squeezed into the middle of the street.
Xu Kun was just about to ask Zhu Yawen to take a detour, when Bao Qiang suddenly looked outside and said, "Brother Kun, what do you think would happen if I walked along Xueyuan Road again?"
"Not very good, I guess we can't eat this meal."
As Xu Kun spoke, he motioned to Zhu Yawen to park the car on the side of the road, and then handed Baoqiang a pair of frog-eye glasses.
Six years have passed, but the fact that he was laughed at at that time is still lingering in Baoqiang's heart. Xu Kun thinks it is time for him to face his "inner demon".
Baoqiang hesitated for a moment, pushed the door and got out of the car without wearing his sunglasses, only to find that Xu Kun also got out of the car, then walked to the front seat and opened the driver's door.
"Ya Wen, come down with your brother Bao Qiang for a walk. I'll drive around to the other side and wait for you guys."
Although Zhu Yawen didn't understand what was going on, he still got out of the car obediently and followed Wang Baoqiang.
Xu Kun drove the E280 around to the other side and waited for more than an hour. Li Yixiang and Chen Xuebin took turns urging him more than a dozen times before he saw the two men squeeze out of the crowd in a somewhat embarrassed manner and jogging towards this side.
Zhu Yawen wanted to replace Xu Kun, but Xu Kun lowered the car window and pointed back: "Just sit in the back. There are only a few miles to go. Why bother changing seats?"
After the two of them sat in the back seat in shock, Xu Kun looked in the rearview mirror and said in surprise, "It's normal for Baoqiang to be excited, but what's wrong with you, Yawen?"
Zhu Yawen smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Just now someone recognized me as 'Hu Hanyang' and asked me for an autograph."
As he said this, his eyes seemed to be shining.
Just as Xu Kun had predicted, "Heavenly Sword and Fairy" wins in the present but loses in the future, and its replay rate is more than one level lower than that of "The Chinese Paladin".
Therefore, those who can still recognize Zhu Yawen today are undoubtedly his former die-hard fans.
of course……
It is also possible that he was recognized through "A Date with Lu Yu", because after Jiang Yiyan became popular at the beginning of the year, she went to Beijing Film Academy to confront Liu Yifei, so the original video and the joke about the four villains were dug up by netizens and heatedly discussed again.
However, there is no need to analyze this hurtful reality specifically for Zhu Yawen.
As Xu Kun started the car, he smiled and said to Bao Qiang, "We've been walking around for over an hour. Did you find anyone you like?"
Baoqiang grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth, and took out several small pieces of paper and even a business card from his trouser pocket. After showing them to Xu Kun, he rolled down the car window and threw them out.
"I still prefer girls who are more reserved."
In the past, the two of them had specially corrected their accents, but now every time Baoqiang takes on a role, his local dialect is the hallmark.
"Don't let this word get out."
Xu Kun said seriously: "Young girls nowadays are very active in their thinking. If you reveal your preferences, there will definitely be people who pretend to be what you like."
Baoqiang touched the back of his head and smiled innocently: "I guess I haven't reached that point yet, right?"
"This is called preparing for a rainy day. By the way, how many days will you stay in the capital this time?"
"Just one day. We'll sign the contract tomorrow morning and leave in the afternoon."
"So urgent? I wanted to take you to meet Director Feng and the heroine of Assembly."
"I'm afraid I'm too late, but it doesn't matter, there will definitely be opportunities in the future."
When they arrived at the place, Xu Kun disguised himself first, and then got out of the car with Baoqiang, who was wearing frog-eye glasses.
Seeing that Zhu Yawen didn't move, Xu Kun called out, "Why are you standing there? Let's go in together. There's no one else here anyway."
Zhu Yawen didn't refuse, got out of the car and followed the two into the restaurant's private room. Chen Xuebin had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and couldn't help scolding the two as soon as he entered the door. Later, when he heard that Baoqiang had gone to "break the thief in his heart", he couldn't help but tease: "You really should learn from your brother Kun in this regard. Others can only pick up a little girl on the talent show, but he is so good that he brought back a female host."
"Old Chen, if you keep talking nonsense like this I'll sue you for defamation. When did I ever hook up with the female host?"
"The one from Fujian, isn't she a female host?"
"You're talking about Nai, Nai didn't meet on a talent show either!"
"It's a female host anyway!"
"you……"
"OK OK."
Li Yixiang stopped their meaningless chatter, pushed a book in front of Xu Kun and said, "This book is quite interesting. Go back and read it to see if it can be made into a movie or TV series."
Xu Kun took it and looked at the cover first. The title of the book was "The Distant Savior" and the author's pen name was "Dou Dou".
uh~
The author's name made Xu Kun feel like this was an online novel.
However, it is hard to say whether Li Yixiang has other visions, but he is still good at literature and art. He certainly cannot just find a random online article to fool himself.
When brothers get together, they definitely have to drink to their heart's content.
Xu Kun didn't remember when he returned home. Anyway, he woke up in the middle of the night and found Qin Lan lying next to him.
As soon as he moved, Qin Lan was awakened.
Qin Lan rubbed his eyes, dragged his feet on his slippers and asked, "You vomited everything you ate last night. There's still a small pot of rice porridge in the kitchen. Do you want me to heat it up for you?"
"You sleep on your own."
Xu Kun pressed her shoulders and pushed her back to the bed: "It's just heating up some porridge. It's not like I can't take care of myself."
Having said that, he walked out of the bedroom in his slippers.
Seeing that he was quite awake, Qin Lan lay down on the bed and fell asleep again.
As a result, when he woke up at around six o'clock the next morning, he found that there was still no one around him. Qin Lan was worried, so he got up and went outside to check.
It turned out that the light was on in the study and Xu Kun was sitting at the desk, concentrating on reading a novel.
Noticing Qin Lan entering the study, Xu Kun turned around and smiled, "This is the novel that Brother Li gave me. I couldn't sleep after eating the rice porridge, so I just picked it up to relieve my boredom, and I ended up reading it without noticing."
Qin Lan came closer and asked curiously, "Is it a good book?"
“It’s a good book indeed.”
Xu Kun nodded and said, "Moreover, the plot here can also be connected with the plot of "The Overlord"."
After saying that, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Isn't this a good thing?"
Qin Lan was puzzled and asked, "Aren't your fans all waiting and hoping that you would film another drama with Meng Hao as the protagonist?"
Xu Kun found a bookmark and shook his head helplessly, "The problem is that this story is too profound and too realistic. I'm afraid my young fans won't understand it."
I guess few people have any impression of the book title "The Faraway Savior", but the novel "The Way of Heaven" adapted from it is quite famous.
The plot is about a business genius who once helped foreign private equity funds plunder domestic wealth, but later felt guilty and lived in seclusion in an ancient city.
Later, in order to fulfill the wish of his girlfriend [a kind female police officer], he set up a "rob the rich and help the poor" scheme to help the poorest villages in the area get rid of poverty and become rich.
The later plot does not need to be changed, but the earlier plot can be changed to that after Meng Hao was released from prison, he found out that Lin Yuxin had died while rescuing a child who fell into the water in the ancient city, so this genius businessman gave up everything and lived in seclusion in the ancient city.
Later, he was moved by the female detective and was willing to rob the rich and help the poor for her, which was in line with Meng Hao's infatuated character - by the way, the female detective also died in the second half.
The problem is that this story is different from "Boss and Boss". It really describes a business operation, a somewhat barbaric and cruel business operation.
For example, there is a paragraph in the book that goes something like this: [The only advantage farmers have in getting out of poverty is that they are working in places where no one should live, doing work that no one should do, and they are fighting like non-human beings.
Therefore, they cannot be brought under the management of the company. Otherwise, the company will not be able to survive even a day due to legal provisions and the dissatisfaction of the farmers who are still dissatisfied with what they have achieved.
But this statement is both realistic and cruel, and I'm afraid it's not something those greenhouse flowers can accept.
Qin Lan said without thinking: "Then you can buy the copyright first, and then shoot it after they can understand it. After all, Meng Hao was sentenced to seven years. From high school to entering society, seven years is enough time."
This is a solution, but the script will be shelved for five or six years.
