Chapter 32 Li Dazui
When they came out of the mine at noon, they were all starving.
Even Tang Zhaoxia, who had been anxious to return to Beijing, did not ask for a change and waited anxiously for the crew to serve dinner.
At noon, beef was still the main dish, but the beef soup was changed to a big bowl of beef sliced noodles. The pieces of beef looked like a small mountain. It really was not in vain that Li Yang spent several thousand dollars.
Xu Kun was sitting on the doorstep, eating without thinking. Bao Qiang came over with a bowl of noodles and handed him his Nokia 3250. He mumbled, "Brother Kun, you received two phone calls this morning, but I didn't answer them."
Xu Kun motioned Baoqiang to throw the phone on his lap and asked casually, "Who called?"
"It shows Li Dazui."
Haha~
Sure enough, it was her again.
After hanging up the phone that day, Xu Kun forgot about Li Xiaolu. However, this woman had no self-awareness at all and was not affected by Xu Kun's cold attitude at all. She would call him every now and then.
Every time he would start by talking about this and that, and then ask Xu Kun if he had encountered anything new recently, preferably something that ordinary people would not encounter.
Xu Kun couldn't help but wonder if this woman thought of herself as the king in One Thousand and One Nights.
But which eye of hers could see that Xu had the potential to become a queen?
Besides, what king and queen don’t have sex?
Why flirt if you don't sleep?!
If she hadn't always revealed some inside information about the circle that Xu Kun was interested in on the phone, Xu Kun would most likely have blocked her directly instead of changing "Big Mouth Movie Queen" to "Li Big Mouth".
After eating three big bowls of sliced noodles with toppings, Xu Kun burped and called back.
"Hey?"
He just said "Hello" and stopped, waiting to listen to Li Xiaolu's long speech.
"Big news, big news!"
Sure enough, Li Xiaolu's voice could be heard from the other side: "Do you know why Wang Yan would rather stay in the crew and do odd jobs than go home?"
Although he knew that she would continue to talk even if he didn't support her, but when he heard that it was related to Princess Qing, Xu Kun couldn't help but ask: "Why?"
"Hehe, you would never guess that she has to kneel down and wash her mother-in-law's feet every day at home. Her stepson doesn't like her and often embarrasses her in person!"
"No way?"
Xu Kun was surprised and said, "What kind of broken rule is this? Doesn't her husband care? Didn't everyone say that it was her husband who took the initiative to pursue her?"
"The old lady said she was a descendant of the royal family and was used to being served by others on her knees." Li Xiaolu sneered, "When a man pursues a woman, he will naturally obey her in everything. But when he marries her, it will be different. What's more, the status of the two is so different."
Then, she vowed, "In the future, I will find a boyfriend who is worse than me, but not too much worse. Then, it won't be me who can't leave him, but he who can't leave me!"
After a pause, he added: "Also, you have to be handsome enough!"
Xu Kun always felt that she was implying something about him, and the current situation between the two parties was definitely in the category of "too different".
Xu Kun's looks are not outstanding in the entertainment industry, and he recently deliberately made himself look rougher for filming, which makes him even less qualified as "handsome enough".
But it didn't matter. The more he interacted with Li Xiaolu, the more clearly he could feel the rebelliousness, restlessness and unrest in this girl's heart.
Most men can't control this kind of woman.
Xu Kun does have this confidence, but he doesn't want to bring trouble upon himself, so why should he get involved in this mess?
If we can play friendly matches occasionally, it might be something we can consider.
A girl with this kind of personality must be very relaxed when playing...
"Hello? Can you hear me?!"
Because he was thinking about something else, Xu Kun didn't pay attention to what Li Xiaolu said. When he came to his senses, he quickly said perfunctorily: "I heard it, I heard it."
"Then let's make a deal!"
"Huh? What's the deal?"
"Beep, beep, beep..." Before Xu Kun could ask what was agreed upon, Li Xiaolu hung up the phone.
baffling!
Xu Kun was just about to call again to ask for clarification when he heard Li Yang calling his name. It seemed that 'Tang Zhaoxia' was about to leave the crew.
Forget it. I didn’t promise Li Dazui anything anyway. When she brings it up again, I will just refuse directly.
…………
After 'Tang Zhaoxia' left, the focus of the filming shifted to Yuan Fengming - Xu Kun and Li Yixiang had both proven their abilities in previous filmings, and now it was Wang Baoqiang's turn.
And Baoqiang's performance did not disappoint.
Although many people criticized him for simply acting out his true self in Blind Shaft, isn't it a skill to be able to perfectly integrate his true self into the film?
Especially this time it was Xu Kun, who he spent every day with, who was friendly towards the insurance fraud duo and showed three more points of sincerity, which made Li Yang say that he had found the right person and praised Wang Baoqiang as Yuan Fengming.
With such tacit understanding, the shooting progress was naturally very gratifying.
Later, everyone decided not to go back home for the New Year and try to finish filming the movie in one go.
In this way, the crew bid farewell to the Gregorian calendar year 2001 in a busy and intense manner and welcomed the twelfth month of the lunar calendar.
The twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month is the Little New Year in the north.
Everyone had a rare day off, and based on the suggestion of assistant director Lao Zhao, they held a "party" in the hotel conference room.
Xu Kun was the last to appear on stage, and he performed a magic show with Li Yixiang and Wang Baoqiang.
The magic trick itself is nothing new, just changing playing cards, pulling cloth strips and the like, the main feature is quick hands and eyes.
The real highlight was that both Li Yixiang and Wang Baoqiang wore high-slit cheongsams, and their leg hair was faintly visible as they twisted their legs on the stage, which almost made everyone's stomachs burst with laughter.
During the filming on the second day, everyone was obviously more relaxed. Seeing that the morale of the troops was high, Li Yang decisively adjusted the filming order and took the "underground party members" onto the elevator.
When we first went down the mine, it was assumed that Li Yang or the cameraman would lead the team. As time went on, the order of the team became more casual.
This time, Li Yixiang and Baoqiang walked in front, while Xu Kun lagged behind slightly, discussing the subsequent plot adjustments with Li Yang.
For Xu Kun, playing Tang Chaoyang this time is nothing short of a physical and mental transformation. Although he has not yet departed from the villain image that he is best at, this time he is not only acting out the role, but is also deeply involved in shaping it.
Thanks to Li Yang's open and inclusive attitude, as well as Li Yixiang's guidance, in the process of repeatedly kneading, shaping and modifying the role of Tang Chaoyang, many things that were previously confusing and unknown to me, became clear to me.
Although this sudden enlightenment cannot make his acting skills improve dramatically all of a sudden, nor can it be applied to filming immediately like his face-changing and more than 20 years of special experience.
But it was like a ray of light, illuminating Xu Kun's path towards becoming a truly good actor.
Although how far one can go on this path ultimately depends on one's personal hard work, without this enlightenment, a wild path like his is destined not to go too far.
Precisely because of this feeling, Xu Kun has been communicating more frequently with Li Yang recently, even more than anyone else in the crew.
"I was thinking, should Tang Chaoyang add a few violent gasps after 'killing' Song Jinming at the end..."
"Why add the heavy panting?"
"I think that killing the big brother with my own hands must have a different mentality than killing those fat sheep normally, so I thought I could use the breathing to prove that he used all his strength both mentally and physically."
"Hmm~"
Li Yang thought about it and nodded, "You can give it a try, but it would be better to pair it with a twisted and wanton smile. This way, it can show that he has removed the shackles in his heart and feels happy that he will no longer be bound by any constraints. When he is suddenly killed in the next moment, it can also better reflect the dramatic conflict."
uh~
This twisted and wanton smile was obviously beyond Xu Kun's scope - he usually acted cruel and brutal, mainly relying on his natural four white eyes.
But he was the one who took the initiative to propose this revision, he couldn't just back out on his own, right?
Just as I was about to bite the bullet and agree with "Director Li's great opinion", I suddenly heard a "crash" from the front, followed by a muffled "bang", as if something collapsed and hit the ground heavily.
The team that was originally talking and laughing suddenly became as if they were under a spell of freezing, and the pit was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
