Chapter 372 Visiting the Set [Part ]
After watching the man get on a Jetta on the side of the road, Xu Kun turned around and looked into the alley. He found that Yuan Li was still stubbornly struggling with her collar, so he raised his voice and said, "Sister Li, how about I call your assistant over?"
"Need not!"
Yuan Li decisively refused, and walked to the entrance of the alley with her collar pressed down. She first looked across the street and saw Xu Kun's E280 parked on the side of the road, so she asked, "Are you free now?"
"Uh~ Just now a friend said he wanted to come over to visit the set. Actually, I misunderstood and thought 'that someone' was my friend... so I found the other side."
Yuan Li's flash marriage was with a small-time actor, and Xu Kun didn't even remember his name.
Yuan Li frowned and hesitated for a while, then suddenly spread her hands to Xu Kun and said, "Give me the car keys?"
Xu Kun readily took out the key and placed it in her palm, then asked with a smile: "Sister Li, you are not going to drive my car to hit him to death, are you?"
Yuan Li rolled her eyes and said, "I would like to, but I can't drive at all."
"Then you still..."
"I'll hide in your car for a while, and when you're done, drive me back."
"Let's go on."
Xu Kun agreed reluctantly. He and Yuan Li didn't have much friendship, but for the sake of Li Yixiang, he decided to help.
Then the two parted at the entrance of the alley.
After Xu Kun returned to the crew, he couldn't go in to see the scene because An Xin's eating apple scene hadn't been finished yet, so he found a shady place to sit down and read the script.
In fact, the play "Apple" was originally supposed to be called Lost in Beijing, but when it was reviewed and approved, it was said that it was not very positive and harmonious, so it was changed to "Apple".
However, Xu Kun went through the entire script and did not find many positive and harmonious parts. If he really followed this standard, there would probably be nothing left of the entire script.
About ten minutes later, a nanny car stopped on the side of the road, and then several women got out one after another, led by Gan Wei and Yang Mi, followed by Li Xiaolu, Hao Lei and Jiang Yiyan.
This is really a group trip.
Three out of the four factions of the Teddy Sisters came, and only the one who had a good relationship with Huo Siyan did not come.
"Sister Lei."
Xu Kun whistled and said with a smile, "What a big event! What does this mean?"
Hao Lei shook her head slightly and motioned Xu Kun to ask Yang Mi.
"Let Sister Gan Wei speak for you."
However, Yang Mi pushed it to Gan Wei.
Gan Wei took the lead and took out a book and said, "Shishi and Meimei found a short story that should be suitable for adaptation into a script."
"There's no need to mobilize so many troops, right?"
Xu Kun took it and glanced at it, and found that it was not printed in batches, but printed individually with a printer. The title of the book was "To Our Youth That Will Soon Pass Away".
The name was changed at the request of Yang Mi. She felt that "Decay" was not appropriate as the title of the play, so she asked Xin Yiwu to change it.
Gan Wei got straight to the point and said, "I want to try out as a producer - Sister Lei wants to try out as an assistant director."
"You want to transform?"
Xu Kun looked at Hao Lei in surprise.
"Can't you?"
Hao Lei shrugged and said, "I see that you are doing very well as a director, so I want to try to see if I have the ability to do so."
In the original space, Hao Lei had to start testing the waters with micro-movies in 2011, but in this space, influenced by Xu Kun, it was normal for her to come up with the idea of becoming a director ahead of time.
"Okay, why not?"
Anyway, he was just an assistant director, so there was nothing wrong with testing the waters. So Xu Kun turned to Jiang Yiyan and Li Xiaolu: "What's going on with you two?"
Li Xiaolu raised her hand and said, "I'm here to join in the fun."
Jiang Yiyan took Yang Mi's arm and said, "I'm here to help Mi Mi."
Yang Mi nodded obediently, but there was a hint of unwillingness in her eyes.
She had a good idea at first, to find Gan Wei and Hao Lei, the two most senior members of the Teddy Sisters Group, to increase her bargaining chips.
And Hao Lei's initiative to ask to be an assistant director was a pleasant surprise for her - Yang Mi originally wanted to ask Hao Lei to make a cameo appearance.
Unexpectedly, Gan Wei contacted Jiang Yiyan right after returning. Although Jiang Yiyan did not specify the role of Zheng Wei, she said with emotion after reading the script: "My dear, your current image is so consistent with Ruan Ruan in the book."
It is obvious that Yang Mi is obsessed with the heroine Zheng Wei!
Although she is trying to look like a goddess, this does not affect her ability to put on makeup and look like an ordinary girl.
But facing Jiang Yiyan, she really couldn't resist.
Fortunately, this drama is an ensemble drama, and the second female lead Ruan Ruan has a lot of scenes; fortunately, she excluded Liu Shi Shi, who was obsessed with Ruan Ruan, in advance.
Otherwise, it would be a real pity to work hard year after year to make wedding dresses for others.
Xu Kun saw Yang Mi's reaction but did not express any opinion on it. He has always been a nostalgic person, and it was good enough that he did not take Jiang Yiyan's side.
He raised the script in his hand and said, "Then you don't have to form a group to come to me, right?"
Gan Wei said, "Wouldn't it be more serious to do this? We just want you, Brother Kun, to help us make the decision. If it is really suitable for adaptation, please recommend a suitable director."
"Recommend a director?"
Xu Kun glanced at the cover again and asked in surprise, "You guys aren't going to let me take the photo?"
"You have to spare some time for it."
Hao Lei curled her lips and said, "I heard that your schedule is scheduled until next summer."
"Next winter, to be exact."
Xu Kun roughly guessed what they meant, so he said, "Okay, I'll look into it carefully and if it's appropriate, I'll pass it on to Lao Liu. Except for Yang Mi, all of you have worked with him before."
After the goal was achieved, Li Xiaolu proposed to visit the crew, and Jiang Yiyan also felt that she should say hello to Tong Dawei.
"Then you came at the right time."
Xu Kun pointed at the shabby room and said, "They're filming the clean-up scene inside."
As soon as the word "clearing scene" was mentioned, everyone understood what it was.
Li Xiaolu became even more excited and suggested that everyone sneak in, but she was dragged away by Hao Lei and Gan Wei on both sides.
Watching the nanny car leave in a hurry, Xu Kun shook his head speechlessly, and sat back in the shade, ready to read what this book "To Youth" was about.
Gan Wei and Hao Lei were both alarmed, and Jiang Yiyan was so shameless that she directly stepped out to grab the female lead. The plot should have its own unique features.
This look lasted more than an hour.
When the "clearing scene" was finished and Fan Bingbing came out to greet him with her hair combed, he had already finished watching the first half and was seeing the scene where Zheng Wei became a dustman.
This novel is not brilliantly written, but the adapted version is still quite worth watching. If it is broadcast during summer or winter vacations when young people are at home, the ratings should be guaranteed.
As for making it into a movie...
Xu Kun really can't guarantee whether this type of movie can make a profit if it is released now.
"What are you looking at?"
Fan Bingbing, with a pleasant smell of soap, bent down in front of Xu Kun and generously offered the view from his collar.
"nothing."
Xu Kun closed the novel and stuffed it into his prop office bag. He asked with a smile, "What took you so long? Did you turn the fake play into a real one?"
"If I have to do it, I'll keep it for you."
Fan Bingbing threw a coquettish glance and lowered his voice, "Who would want to be interested in a silver-plated spear head when there is a good product that I have personally measured?"
This woman...
Xu Kun was so tempted by her that he crossed his legs and performed a tactical suppression.
Fan Bingbing saw this action and immediately laughed so hard that his body shook. In his collar...
collar?
Xu Kun suddenly thought of something, stood up and walked out.
"Hey~ where are you going?"
"I suddenly thought of something. If I can't come back for a while, please help me ask Director Li for leave!"
