Chapter 340: Words Don’t Match Hearts
[Today is only three updates, I can't make up for it, so I'll take my time. ]
In the following days, the crew entered into a busy and intense filming. In order to maintain that tired state, Xu Kun, apart from looking for people to act with every night, read novels on his laptop.
There are indeed talented people on the Internet. After the completion of "Wolf Pack", another "Bullet Hole" began to be serialized. Different stories, but equally thrilling.
Compared to physical books, online novels seem to know better how to continuously stimulate people's adrenaline.
Of course, the writing style of physical books is usually more concise and solid.
This gave Xu Kun an idea. Why not find two traditional writers and two online writers to work on the script of the new movie.
If we can take advantage of each other's strengths, we might be able to put together a book that's better than expected.
Xu Kun did it as soon as he thought of it. He immediately assigned the matter to Zhu Yawen - because Huang Bin went to Thailand, Zhu Yawen followed him and acted as his assistant this time.
Anyway, Qin Lan will be joining the crew soon to "experience the atmosphere", and having her around to take care of her will be much better than having a male assistant.
Zhu Yawen had the experience of discussing "The Faraway Savior" last time, so he was not too scared about this task.
After seeing Zhu Yawen off, Xu Kun focused more on filming.
Three main plots were filmed in the past few days. One was the first meeting between Guzidi [Xu Kun] and Wang Jincun [Huang Xiaoming]; one was the conversation between Guzidi and the platoon leader Jiao Dapeng [Zhang Hanyu] in the temporary company headquarters; and the third was the rivalry between Guzidi and the regiment commander [Hu Jun].
Facts have proved that Huang Xiaoming's acting skills are still quite good after getting rid of the oiliness. He portrayed the gentle and weak young man vividly.
And Zhang Hanyu's performance is as outstanding as ever.
Only when it came to Hu Jun, Xu Kun always felt that something was not right. The character played by Hu Jun had a bit of "stealing feeling", as if he had already predicted the fate of the Ninth Company and deliberately deceived and misled people.
This is very different from the character setting analyzed by Xu Kun.
But thinking about the conversation with Feng Xiaogang at the time, he felt a little unconfident again. Or maybe his inference was wrong, and this was exactly what Director Feng wanted.
Otherwise, why had he never corrected Hu Jun's acting?
So in the end Xu Kun did not raise any objection to this, but simply performed the reaction that Guzidi should have according to his own understanding.
Because all the actors are talented, these three scenes were completed earlier than expected, but the heavy snow that Feng Xiaogang had been waiting for never came.
Deputy Chen Guofu meant that there was no need to wait any longer and that we should just use technical means directly.
But Feng Xiaogang still hoped to shoot on location, so he made adjustments again and prepared to shoot the latter scenes first.
Then things got stuck.
Because Deng Chao took another leave to film "Sweet Honey".
This made Feng Xiaogang very angry, and he immediately arranged for someone to call Deng Chao and ask him to come back to film "Assembly" first.
But Deng Chao was unable to get away, and he begged Feng Xiaogang over the phone to give him a few more days.
Feng Xiaogang was furious about this and cursed in front of the crew for half an hour - please refer to the scene in Kung Fu titled "Is there still any law?" for the specific image.
Later, Xu Fan arrived after hearing the news and persuaded him to stay.
When it was time for dinner, Feng Xiaogang announced with a sullen face that they could not wait any longer. He had already contacted people to send fertilizer to the crew and would start filming the war scenes from tomorrow.
As soon as he made the announcement, his phone rang.
Seeing Feng Xiaogang glance at the caller ID, his expression immediately became a little strange. Xu Kun thought it was Deng Chao calling.
I thought to myself that this guy is really unreliable. If you wanted to bow your head, you should have done so a long time ago. But Director Feng contacted the fertilizer company right after you called me. You're really eating shit while it's still hot.
However, when Feng Xiaogang went to the corner with the phone in his hand, Xu Kun overturned this judgment.
The person on the other end of the phone was probably someone important. Although he was curious about who it was, Xu Kun couldn't just go and eavesdrop on Feng Xiaogang's phone call. Since he had nothing else to do, he simply called Chen Xuebin and asked about their recent situation in Thailand.
He has been paying close attention to the conditions of the three people these days. He was worried at first, but later he gradually felt relieved.
When Chen Xuebin and Li Yixiang arrived there, they were not only welcomed by the military government, but also got in touch with the former chairman's sister. I heard that she was also a strong woman and often came to the mainland to do business.
Even though her brother was forced to go into exile abroad, she still managed to stabilize the family business - it was through Chen Xuebin that Xu Kun learned that in addition to being the prime minister, the former prime minister was also the richest man in Thailand.
In short, both the military government and the former prime minister's faction are very enthusiastic about this matter, and have even reached an agreement that Xu Kun will be invited to inspect the place next year in the name of the government.
As soon as the call was connected this time, Chen Xuebin was the first to complain: "Thailand dares to call itself a democratic country, and the Western media dares to admit it. It's really fucking weird!"
"Why is this?"
Hearing his indignation, Xu Kun asked nervously, "Did the military government turn against us?"
"No, it's the person I mentioned earlier who was summoned by the king. The scene... wait for me to send you a screenshot."
After seeing the picture, Xu Kun was speechless.
[I can only remain speechless, because if I write it, it will be deleted by the backend. I have no other choice...]
I was discussing Thailand's fake democracy with Chen Xuebin when I saw Feng Xiaogang walking towards us with a strange look on his face.
Xu Kun hung up the phone quickly, walked up to him and asked, "Uncle Feng, what happened?"
"How is your relationship with Zhao Benshan? He just called and said he was in Northeast China to film a movie. Why didn't you talk to him first? He also asked if I needed anything."
"This……"
Xu Kun thought about it and felt that it shouldn't be a big problem: "Those things that are spread outside are a bit exaggerated. It's mainly because Uncle Benshan's disciples are of varying quality. He himself is relatively easy to talk to. Besides, Uncle Feng, your status in the martial arts world..."
"How can I be afraid of him?"
Feng Xiaogang glared and said, "I'm worried that he will affect our filming!"
It was obvious that he didn't mean what he said. If he wasn't afraid of Benshan's influence in the Northeast, he wouldn't have come to Xu Kun specifically to ask.
But this is not Feng Xiaogang's fault. In the past two years, there have been waves of negative rumors about Benshan Group in the circle.
That means Old Zhao is almost the second Qiao Si.
"Yes, yes, Uncle Feng, what did you say to him?"
"He didn't say anything. I just said we were in need of everything except fresh fruit, and then I made a few more pleasantries, and he hung up the phone."
"It should be fine."
Xu Kun comforted him and said that if there was any problem, he could go to "Song Ma" to mediate. Only then did Feng Xiaogang finally feel at ease.
To be honest, Xu Kun originally thought that Feng Kuzi's performance in "Days Related to Youth" was a bit exaggerated, but now watching Feng Xiaogang's performance, he feels that it is quite similar.
Around eight o'clock, Xu Kun was rehearsing his lines with Baoqiang and Zhang Hanyu when he suddenly received a phone call.
Xu Kun took out his cell phone and looked at the call display, then it suddenly dawned on him. No wonder he felt like he had forgotten something when he went to Huayi's practice room to see Cheon Sang Ji Hee.
It turned out that Xiao Zhao, who wanted to have "someone above him", was ignored.
However, he has so many things to do every day, and there are so many women around him. In addition, Xiao Zhao is not that outstanding, so it is understandable that he forgot for a while.
