Chapter 441 Congratulations
June 1.
As the year was coming to an end, Cai Yinong flew to Beijing again. Unlike the last time when she mobilized a large number of troops, she was more low-key this time. She only notified Liu Shishi and did not alarm anyone else.
The last time she came to Beijing, she witnessed the gambling agreement between Yang Mi and Rong Xinda. She was surprised at Yang Mi's courage and was determined to defeat Yang Mi.
This time she came to Beijing mainly to see the finished film "So Young", and also wanted to promote Liu Shishi again.
Following his talent as a director, Xu Kun once again proved his acting talent with the movie "Assembly" which grossed million yuan, and "Operation Kunpeng" which had the right timing, location and people...
If you don't hurry up and get on the bus, you'll miss the hot weather.
However, Cai Yinong felt a headache when he thought about persuading Liu Shishi - this girl is good in every way except that she has no ambition. It would be perfect if she could reconcile with Yang Mi.
After meeting Liu Shishi at the Capital Airport, Cai Yinong did not let the accompanying assistants get in the car, but instead told them to check in at the hotel by themselves and be ready to be dispatched at any time.
Seeing this, Liu Shishi, who had just learned to drive at Cai Yinong's urging, tightly grasped the steering wheel and asked in confusion: "Sister K, should we at least take them into the city?"
"You don't have to worry about that."
Cai Yinong said without question: "Let's go to Director Xu's house first."
According to the information provided by Yang Mi, Xu Kun has been staying at home since the press conference, making final preparations for the filming of "Operation Kunpeng" after the New Year.
"Going to Brother Kun's house?"
Liu Shishi hesitated for a moment, and in the end didn't say anything, but started the car silently.
It took her nearly two hours to get there, a journey that should have taken an hour.
Arriving at Xu Kun's door, Cai Yinong rang the doorbell with a big smile on her face. Not long after, a woman opened the door and greeted, "Shi Shi, why are you here? Who is this?"
"Sister Qin Lan."
Liu Shishi quickly introduced the two people: "This is Mr. Cai Yinong from our Tang people - Mr. Cai, this is Sister Qin Lan."
"It's Mr. Cai. I've heard a lot about you."
"I have known Miss Qin Lan for a long time. With the success of Assembly, Miss Qin Lan's future is limitless."
Qin Lan exchanged pleasantries with her, let the two of them in, and said as he closed the door, "Brother Kun just thought of a routine, and excitedly dragged Baoqiang to the rooftop to try it out - do you think I should call Brother Kun now, or..."
"No, no, no, let's wait. Anyway, we are not in a hurry. We are mainly here to congratulate Director Xu. The two movies have grossed nearly 4 million yuan, which has shocked all the actors in Hong Kong Island."
Cai Yinong quickly waved his hands and flattered him.
But this is also her true feelings. Ever since she went to Hong Kong Island in her early 20s, this is the first time in the past ten years that Cai Yinong has seen the Hong Kong Island entertainment industry be so wary of and suppress a mainland director and actor.
Qin Lan smiled slightly when he heard this, picked up the teapot on the table and asked, "Shi Shi wants to drink juice, right? Mr. Cai, would you like some tea or coffee?"
"Tea leaves are fine."
Seeing Qin Lan take out a large bottle of juice from the refrigerator and prepare to heat it in the kitchen, Liu Shishi hurriedly stood up and said, "Sister Qin Lan, let me help you."
Seeing the two of them enter the kitchen together, Cai Yinong focused her attention on the coffee table. She didn't know whether Xu Kun or Qin Lan was looking at it. At this time, there were a pile of newspapers and magazines on the table.
Cai Yinong casually flipped through the reports and, as expected, they were all reports related to "Assembly" and press conferences.
The press conference held by Xu Kun broke the last layer of window paper. The matter of "mainland actors standing up" spread from the circle to outside the circle in an instant, and caused countless heated discussions online and offline.
The media, which were originally discussing the million box office of "Assembly", also turned their attention to it and conducted lengthy analytical reports.
Public opinion generally believes that the fact that mainland actors defeated all-stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan will definitely have a greater and more far-reaching impact than the third place in film history. Some tabloids began to list the various chaos in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and then added Xu Kun's words: "You are full of shit, but you turn around and slander others for being dirty. That's too ridiculous!"
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Hong Kong people's move to launch a public opinion offensive is likely to backfire and they will suffer the consequences.
Unless they can find evidence of Xu Kun’s guilt!
So Hong Kong reporters have been jumping up and down these days, trying desperately to find some negative information about Xu Kun.
While flipping through the newspaper on the table, she heard the sound of a key opening the door outside. Cai Yinong guessed that it must be Xu Kun returning, and quickly stood up to greet him.
Xu Kun pushed the door open with his coat on his shoulders. Seeing Cai Yinong, he was slightly startled: "Why are you here?"
"Of course I came to congratulate you."
Cai Yinong came forward and diligently helped Xu Kun hang his coat on the hanger, then whispered, "I brought Shi Shi with me."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Shishi followed Qin Lan out of the kitchen with a large glass of hot juice in her hand.
"Hi~"
Xu Kun casually raised his hand and greeted her. Although he understood what Cai Yinong meant, he was not very interested.
As the saying goes, the second time is bad, the third time is bad. Naturally, he had coveted Liu Shishi's beauty, but he couldn't stand such repeated nagging.
Anyway, he has no shortage of women, and doesn't want to find a wife in the entertainment industry. After a long time, he gets too lazy to think about it - he's tired, so let it be.
Cai Yinong was observing from the side, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat. She knew that men were fickle, but she never expected Xu Kun to give up a beauty like Liu Shishi so easily.
This is going to be troublesome.
If Shi Shi can't catch this high-speed train, how will Tangren start its big-screen strategy?
Could it be that we were counting on Tang Yan and Yang Mi...
uh~
It doesn't seem to work either.
However, those two are not as easy to manipulate as Liu Shishi. Once they have tasted the sweetness of following Xu Kun, they may not be willing to stay in Tangren obediently - this is also the reason why Cai Yinong has always been determined to make Liu Shishi the number one sister of Tangren.
Xu Kun took the towel Qin Lan handed over, wiped his sweat and said, "The celebration banquet for Assembly won't start until the 30th, but it's already this late, I must take care of the meal - Qin Lan, are we going to eat at home or go out?"
Qin Lan said helplessly: "You forgot that Xiaolu and I made an appointment to have a buffet."
"Oh, then I'll take them out to eat."
As Xu Kun spoke, he took off his coat hanging on the wall, put on his mask and sunglasses, and asked as he pushed the door open and walked out, "Can you two eat spicy food? I had lamb shanks with Zhou Xun last time, and they tasted pretty good."
"It's okay."
"I'm OK."
Cai Yinong and Liu Shishi answered one after another, and Liu Shishi was even eager to try.
After going downstairs, Liu Shishi originally wanted to drive her own car, but was pulled to the back seat of the E280 by Cai Yinong.
Several months later, Xu Kun searched for a long time before finding the restaurant, but the upstairs was full and there was only a small room downstairs.
Xu Kun consulted Cai Yinong and Liu Shishi for their opinions, and after confirming that they didn't mind, he led the two into the compartment.
As a result, as soon as he sat down at the table, Xu Kun felt a leg sticking out from under the table.
At first he thought it was Liu Shishi, and was surprised how this little girl suddenly became so bold, but he soon realized that the angle was wrong. When he looked up along the path, it was clearly Cai Yinong's leg.
