Chapter 301 The Blame
at the same time.
In the suite office on the fourth floor, Xu Kun was flipping through today's newly published newspapers with a headache.
This time he still occupied the second place in the entertainment section, but it was not a positive report - by the way, the headline was a photo of Faye Wong going to the hospital with a big belly.
The title of the report is: "New director Xu Kun confronts the film channel head-on."
The content is vivid, describing how Xu Kun originally wanted to recommend his own people to play the male and female protagonists of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but because of the opposition of the movie channel, he could only pretend to hold an open casting.
Director Xu refused to admit the person he chose and kept finding faults with him. Currently, both sides are fighting openly and secretly over the male and female protagonists. As to whether the east wind will prevail over the west wind or the west wind will prevail over the east wind, please wait and see.
EMMM…
You may say that this report is pure fabrication, but some of the specific details are true, and it is obvious that he got inside information.
But apart from a few specific details, the overall context is complete nonsense.
During the previous open auditions, Xu Kun did not participate at all. Although Li Yixiang was arranged to be the representative, Li Yixiang's personality was not that of a dictatorial person.
Later, Xu Kun went abroad, so it was even more impossible for him to be picky about the actors in the rematch.
All those problems were picked out by Sixth Princess's people. The only suggestion he made was that they did not accept training in martial arts movements from scratch, so as not to waste too much time and affect the filming of "Assembly".
Then suddenly a report popped up...
Are the people of Hong Kong Island making the effort, or are there others who are targeting me?
Or was it just internal strife among the six princesses?
Or is it that the project manager who proposed the open audition is preparing to pass on the blame in advance because he is worried that he will have to bear the responsibility in the end?
This mess is really hard to tell.
After all, it was because the Sixth Princess herself was too chaotic. Many things changed her mind every day and she hindered each other. Not to mention other things, even the program schedule could be changed at will.
This may seem like personality to outsiders, but when you are in it, it is...
What is even more speechless is that there are a few "ambitious young people" who have a high opinion of themselves and indeed have a very impressive background. They have nothing to do all day long and just want to find a living target that is important enough to use as a stepping stone for themselves.
Xu Kun, the only one in the past thirty years, went to the Sixth Princess, which was no different from entering a wolf's den.
Otherwise, he would not have chosen Huayi to receive the people from Zhouyi Film and Television today.
Although the Sixth Princess has agreed to come forward to clarify the matter, based on Xu Kun's experience in recent years, the more official clarifications are made, the more likely they are to arouse doubts.
I guess in the end, he probably won't be able to get rid of the label of "abusing public power for personal gain" - at least not completely.
Hey~
In the future, we will avoid cooperating with the authorities if we can. It was supposed to be a win-win situation, but it turned into a mess.
But then again, the name 'Director Xu' is quite pleasant to the ear.
Knock knock knock~
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Xu Kun shouted "Come in", and Huang Bin leaned in and said, "Brother Kun, Sister Bingbing wants to see you."
Xu Kun asked silently with his mouth: "Which Bingbing?"
Huang Bin quietly raised his little finger.
Isn't Fan Bingbing busy with a lawsuit recently? How come his eyes and ears are still so good?
Xu Kun gave Huang Bin a thumbs up in response, and then raised his voice and said, "Why are you asking about this? We are all colleagues in the same company. You can just let her come in directly from now on."
Huang Bin understood what Kun meant and knew that what he said was meant for Fan Bingbing, so he would just do what he should do next time.
Not long after, Fan Bingbing walked in from outside. Compared with half a month ago, this woman seemed to be three times more powerful. It seemed that the recent "lawsuit" not only did not affect her, but made her more courageous.
Talking about this "lawsuit" is really speechless.
Initially, at the end of April, someone released a message online saying that Fan Bingbing was being kept by Jia Yun, the boss of Pika King International Holding Group, for 400 million yuan a year.
This is really underestimating Fan Bingbing's ability to make money. If it was 400 million a year plus a contract for a blockbuster movie, it would be about right - but it seems that Pickup Truck driver Jia doesn't have that ability.
But there were people who actually believed it, and by mid-May the matter became more and more serious, and even print media began to reprint and publish it, forcing Fan Bingbing to call the police directly and announce that he would pursue the matter to the end.
Pikachu Lao Jia even announced that he would offer a reward for the mastermind behind the incident.
"You look good."
Seeing Fan Bingbing sitting on the leather sofa opposite him, elegantly crossing his legs, Xu Kun smiled and teased, "Have you found out the mastermind behind your 400 million case?"
“Tsk~” Fan Bingbing changed from crossing his left leg over his right leg to crossing his right leg over his left leg, and said unhappily: “What’s the mastermind behind this? It’s just a little kid who hasn’t even reached adulthood talking nonsense, and those idiots on the Internet actually believed it!”
"She may not really believe it. Maybe she is just stirring up trouble to have fun." Xu Kun said with a smile, "There are many such cases. Since March, I can't even count the number of women who claim to have had an affair with me on one hand."
"That's not much."
Fan Bingbing teased in return: "Who in the circle doesn't know about your brother Kun's romantic affairs?"
“But I never touch outside the circle.”
As soon as Xu Kun said this, he felt that it was not very precise, so he changed his words and said, "Anyway, since I entered the industry... well, since I played in "Blind Well", I have never touched a woman outside the circle."
Faced with Xu Kun's shameless face that kept adding adjectives, Fan Bingbing couldn't help but feel a little envious while despising him.
Ever since Xu Kun became a little famous, he has been surrounded by various scandals, and he himself has never denied them.
As time went on, it seemed that everyone inside and outside the circle had acquiesced to his romantic life. For other artists, rumors of polyamorous relationships were considered a bad thing, but when it came to our Brother Kun, everyone was used to it.
Even Aikun mostly ignored such things.
The question is: He has already turned over a new leaf, you can't ask him to stop wasting time, right?
On the other hand, I was already in a state of panic because of a rumor about a sugar daddy. In the end, I had to withdraw the lawsuit because the other party was just a middle school student.
"Don't talk about this."
Fan Bingbing took a deep breath, suppressed the resentment in his heart, and said to Xu Kun: "It's been half a month. How have you considered the Apple issue?"
"This one……"
This woman was really persistent. Xu Kun was a little bit frustrated by her pestering. And judging from her attitude that day, she was a good candidate for the couple in the crew.
"It's not impossible."
Finally, Xu Kun said after careful consideration: "But don't use the Liang family ash."
"how?"
Fan Bingbing raised his eyebrows: "Are you afraid that he will overshadow you?"
"If you say yes, then so be it."
Xu Kun shrugged slightly. Although his acting skills have been highly praised since "Zhu Yuanzhang", he still knows his own limitations.
He can only approach or barely reach the first tier when playing certain specific roles. If it is a role with average fit, his performance will definitely be worse.
However, he didn't want to act opposite Liang Jiahui, mainly because he hated the people of Hong Kong Island.
Seeing that he admitted it so readily, Fan Bingbing didn't know what to say for a moment.
After a long pause, he said hesitantly, "But the director..."
"Just tell her that I still want to play the role of the boss."
"why?"
Fan Bingbing was puzzled: "For you, we even changed the plot. Now you..."
Xu Kun interrupted, "Because you changed the plot and weakened the pitiful side of the male protagonist, he seems even more despised."
Fan Bingbing was speechless, but in fact this drama has two male protagonists, and the roles of the foot massage parlor owner and the window cleaner are not much different.
At this time, Huang Bin knocked on the door again and reminded: "Brother Kun, the people from Zhouyi Film and Television are already downstairs."
Seeing that Xu Kun had guests to entertain, Fan Bingbing stood up and said, "Then let's make it a deal. I'll have someone send the contract over later. You can't change your mind again!"
"to make."
Xu Kun nodded in agreement. Seeing that Fan Bingbing was about to leave, he added calmly, "Don't add that bathroom scene in vain. Let's make it up when we have a chance."
"Ha, man!"
Upon hearing this, Fan Bingbing turned around and raised his middle finger in disdain, but did not reject Xu Kun's proposal.
