Chapter 354 The Man Behind the Korean Wave
According to Jiang Yiyan, the winners of each competition area of Dream of Red Mansions were just sent to Wendu Water City in the suburbs of Beijing yesterday.
Now is the right time to make a move, otherwise you may be passed by others many times in the final.
After all, this is not an ordinary talent show. The contestants are Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, and Jia Baoyu, and many people across the country are watching.
"Don't mention actresses, it's not surprising that male actors are targeted!"
uh~
This made Xu Kun think of Yahoo Star Search and Wang Zhonglei, and he lost half of his appetite.
He casually flipped through the photos of Baochai's group. Those who could stand out in a province were of course beauties picked from hundreds, but there was no one so stunning that his eyes lit up.
So he pushed the photo aside, took the ramen and chopsticks from Tang Yan, and said while eating: "You'd better stay out of this matter - Jingtai is just responsible for shouting, the ones who can really make the decision are Hualu and Zhongying. The girls are all attracted by Chai and Dai, and we can't promise anything, so don't get into trouble in the end."
After what happened with Chen Shu, Xu Kun is now more cautious.
"Hey, Brother Kun~"
Jiang Yiyan twisted in Xu Kun's arms and said unwillingly, "You underestimate your influence. Now people on the Internet say that you are the man behind the Korean Wave. Even Koreans can be sent to the Spring Festival Gala stage. If you just make a handshake, won't those girls be so excited that their souls fly away?"
"WTF?"
Xu Kun frowned, pointed towards the study, and ordered, "Go and get me the notebook."
Tang Yan hurriedly ran over and brought the laptop.
Jiang Yiyan gestured to Xu Kun to eat first. She took the notebook and searched on the Internet, then turned the screen in front of Xu Kun.
This is an online report, which indeed calls him "the man behind the Korean Wave", with a clear double entendre between the lines.
There are some praises and some criticisms in the comments below.
Those who criticized it believed that Heavenly Wife broke the rules of the Spring Festival Gala and that it was a broadcasting accident, and that Xu Kun, the man behind the Korean wave, should also be held accountable.
There are also people who scold Xu Kun for taking too much and taking too much, saying that it is not enough to have the Teddy Sisters Group, so he is now setting up a Korean girl group.
Those who praised him hoped that Xu Kun would keep up the good work and bring back more thigh kicking dances from Korea. They also said that the ones from the mainland were too conservative and the ones from Japan were difficult to download, and that only the Korean thigh dance was cheap and affordable.
Aikun also appears in the middle, offering slogans like "Brother Kun is the best".
Scrolling down further, netizens completely went off topic, all sharing videos from Qvod and Wowga, saying that the trouble with downloading is entirely because of not using the right tools. As long as you use the right tools...
In fact, mainland dance troupes these days are not conservative at all, especially those that perform in the streets of small towns. They are not allowed to perform after 10 o'clock in the evening.
Xu Kun read a few more similar articles and felt something was strange. How did he become a comprador and a guide without knowing why?
But letting a Korean girl group sing "Chinese" is better than being invaded by real Korean wave, right?
"Brother Kun."
At this time, Jiang Yiyan picked up a photo and shook it towards Xu Kun: "I think this one is okay, do you really not like it at all?"
Then he turned it over and looked at the back: "Bai Qiao, this is still a student at Northwest University of Political Science and Law."
"That would be quite suitable for Baoqiang - by the way, speaking of Baoqiang, come with me to a dinner party tonight, and you can help observe and see what that woman thinks of Baoqiang."
When Jiang Yiyan heard that she was going to meet Hu Die, she immediately forgot about the people in Dream of the Red Chamber and was ready to help Baoqiang test his quality.
In terms of cunning, she is certainly not as good as Huo Siyan, but there is one thing she sees more clearly than Huo Siyan, that is, although Xu Kun is lustful, he pays more attention to brotherhood.
If I could help Baoqiang find a good marriage, the effect would definitely be better than introducing ten Baiqiao to him.
After finishing lunch, Xu Kun rushed out again. He had an appointment with director Feng Xiaoning in the afternoon. He originally wanted to talk about the script, but now he had to discuss personnel matters first.
Xu Kun had only heard vaguely about Du Liang's strange words in the screenwriter team before, but he didn't expect that "the higher-ups" knew more details than he did.
Who leaked this?
The first person Xu Kun suspected was Mr. Fu. He was able to abandon his family and career to go undercover in the Golden Triangle for 11 years. Is there any need to explain what kind of party spirit the old man had?
But he didn't mean to investigate further. The old man didn't do anything wrong. He could only blame Du Liang for not being able to control his words and not knowing the principle of not talking too much about a simple friendship. After Xu Kun left.
Tang Yan took the dishes to the kitchen and washed them absentmindedly, feeling a little depressed. She had imagined a lot before coming here, but when she really met Director Xu, she was so nervous that she couldn't say a word.
Obviously, both parties have had negative distance contact more than once, but she feels that the distance between her and Director Xu is not getting closer, but seems to be getting farther and farther.
This may be because after the "Spring Festival Gala incident", Xu Kun's image has "inflated" again.
"What are you thinking?"
Seeing her washing endlessly, Jiang Yiyan casually ordered: "If you don't know what to do, go and tidy up the bedroom - when you are done washing tonight, go to bed early and warm the bed for me and Brother Kun."
Tang Yan lowered his head and said "hmm", and his mood improved a little. Although this was the job of a bed-warming maid, at least he didn't seem so redundant.
…………
That night.
Xu Kun took Jiang Yiyan to meet Hu Die. Unexpectedly, Hu Die was quite close to Bao Qiang. Although they were not close to each other, it was still surprising enough.
Could this couple really be together?
After the initial greetings, Hu Die quickly explained the purpose of inviting Xu Kun. It turned out that she was her teacher at the Communication University of China. She happened to know that Xu Kun knew Bao Qiang, so she became very interested.
I hope Hu Die can help to connect the two, with Xu and Wang narrating the story and this teacher writing it, to write a story about the two's struggle from grassroots to big stars.
Hu Die further explained: "Teacher Li said that it would take you two one year or two years, as long as you can finish the book."
As she spoke, she took out two biographies from her bag, indicating that these were her teacher's works and Xu Kun could refer to them first.
In recent years, many people have wanted to interview Xu Kun, but this is the first one who is directly preparing to publish a book.
Although Xu Kun felt it was a bit early as his life was still in the climbing stage and it was far from the time to make a final summary, he finally agreed for the sake of Bao Qiang's innocent smile.
However, he requested that the main theme be Baoqiang's experiences and observations, that is, starting from when Baoqiang started learning martial arts at the age of six, going to Shaolin, going to the capital, meeting Xu Kun, and filming Blind Well...
"As for my story, it can be inserted into Baoqiang's story. Anyway, we two brothers have been together for at least half of the past few years, so there must be a lot of material in this regard."
His main purpose was to create opportunities for Baoqiang, but Hu Die obviously misunderstood and thought that Xu Kun did not want to reveal his experiences before coming to the capital.
Although this approach would lack some legendary appeal, seeing that Xu Kun was determined, Hu Die still took the initiative and agreed on behalf of his teacher.
The dinner that followed was naturally a great success for both the host and the guests.
After the dinner, Baoqiang was responsible for sending Hu Die home, while Xu Kun and Jiang Yiyan boarded the E280.
"what do you think?"
While starting the car, Xu Kun asked Jiang Yiyan who was sitting in the passenger seat.
Jiang Yiyan frowned and said, "I think she looks a bit like someone."
"Like who?"
"Like Cai Yinong from the Tang Dynasty."
Hu Die himself should be satisfied with this evaluation, but Xu Kun did not like it very much. Cai Yinong was undoubtedly a successful woman, but also a woman who would do anything to achieve her goals.
If Baoqiang were to meet such a person...
"Lets see."
Xu Kun said: "If you have the chance in the future, you can also get in touch with her more and see how she treats people."
