Chapter 452 Environment Changes People
Liu Haibo came in a taxi, wearing the same mask and sunglasses as Xu Kun. As soon as he entered the door, he said in a gruff voice: "No wonder everyone wants to make a movie. The exposure is different. It's been nearly half a year and there are still reporters who want to follow me."
"Stop showing off."
Xu Kun pointed to the kitchen and said, "The seasonings are all prepared for you, just waiting for you to cook."
"No, I'm wearing all branded clothes!"
Liu Haibo pointed at himself and said exaggeratedly: "Before you could ask me to cook, but now I am a man..."
"Baoqiang, give him the apron."
Baoqiang came out of the kitchen with a plate of fruit and happily threw his apron to Liu Haibo.
"Got it."
Liu Haibo took the apron and put it on with ease, muttering, "Wait until my box office reaches 100 million yuan, no, wait until it reaches 200 million yuan!"
I walked into the kitchen muttering to myself, and saw a middle-aged man putting chopped tomatoes onto a plate.
While Liu Haibo was stunned, the other party touched his apron, took the initiative to extend his hand and said with a smile: "Director Liu, I have heard a lot about you. I am Gao Qunshu."
"Oh~~!"
Liu Haibo suddenly realized and quickly extended his hand to greet him, saying, "Director Gao, I have admired you for a long time. What I admire most is your vision. You can recognize Kun'er's true character at once!"
Gao Qunshu thought about it for a moment before he realized that he was talking about Xu Kun's portrayal of Han Yueping being true to himself. He couldn't help but laugh, "At the time, they were all introduced by friends, and we got together in a muddle. I didn't expect that they were all talented."
"Of course not. Someone like Xu Kun only appears once every few thousand years."
Xu Kun heard the two talking in the living room and shook his head at Wang Baoqiang, saying, "It's hard to say whether Old Liu is arrogant or not, but his mouth is getting more and more mean."
Liu Haibo made a dish of sweet and sour pork, Gao Qunshu prepared two cold dishes, Xu Kun cooked a pot of seaweed egg drop soup, and Baoqiang stir-fried pork with celery - he learned it from Hu Die during the Chinese New Year.
Chen Xuebin was used to being served by his wife, who had everything provided for him. He didn't know how to cook at all, so he bought a few Spanish mackerel, two rounds of donkey sausage and eight pounds of pancakes on the way.
They are all in the same circle, and after three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, they have become familiar with each other, and the topic naturally turns to the latest gossip in the industry.
Liu Haibo took the lead in starting the conversation: "Everyone says that your performance in Guzidi is amazing. You should be able to win a lot of awards this year, right?"
"Hard to say."
Xu Kun shook his head and said, "I have no chance in Berlin and Cannes, and I think Venice is unlikely to win either - I guess I can only win the Hundred Flowers and Golden Rooster Awards in China."
"Oh my, you're just talking about Hundred Flowers and Golden Rooster. If you say this, you'll be scolded to death."
Liu Haibo made an expression as if he couldn't stand it.
Gao Qunshu suddenly said, "In fact, Wanwan can also try for the Golden Horse Award. There should still be hope."
"Golden Horse Awards?"
Xu Kun was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Director Gao, you know that I don't get along with them, and "Assembly" is about the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party..."
"It's different now."
Gao Qunshu pointed at the TV and said, "Didn't you watch the reports over the past two days?"
Xu Kun thought of the familiar person he saw on the big screen when he got off the plane that day, and suddenly asked, "Are you talking about Xiao Ma Ge's matter?"
Gao Qunshu nodded and said, "Yes, you can help to connect with the Thai military government, maybe..."
"Forget it. There is no shortage of channels for both sides to communicate. Why would they need a small figure like me to act as a matchmaker?"
Although Xu Kun interrupted Gao Qunshu, he also remembered this incident. Apart from domestic film festivals that are purely for sharing the cake, most other well-known film festivals are related to ZZ. [The above paragraph has been deleted a lot. Anyway, it is a normal evaluation of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and a certain M. Please use your imagination. ]
People in the circle... especially in Hong Kong and Taiwan, now believe that he has a strong background, and maybe he can really take the opportunity to win the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor.
Although Xu Kun doesn't really care about this, the Golden Horse Awards are indeed more recognized than the three major awards in the mainland. Who wouldn't want such a free benefit?
Perhaps it was what he thought, because the next day when Xu Kun went to the company to edit the film, he wanted to mention the Golden Horse Awards to Wang Zhongjun and Feng Xiaogang.
Who knew that before he found Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhongjun found him first.
It turned out that the Busan Film Festival in South Korea sent an invitation letter, hoping that Feng Xiaogang and Xu Kun could bring "Assembly" to Busan to participate in the exhibition.
This is exactly what was written on the post. In addition to Feng Xiaogang's name, Xu Kun's name was also specifically mentioned.
After reading the antique-style Chinese-Korean bilingual invitation, Xu Kun looked up and asked, "Does this mean that we should be able to get a piece of the pie if we go?"
Wang Zhongjun smiled and said, "It's hard to say whether they can get a share of the movie profits, but they specifically mentioned you, so they must have prepared something sweet for you. In the past two years, LeTV has been showing Korean songs and dances all day long, and recently introduced Korean variety shows, which helped Koreans gain a lot of popularity. Naturally, they have to return the favor."
Xu Kun was speechless. The more he wore the title of 'the man behind the Korean Wave', the more solid it seemed.
"But our film contains a plot about the War to Resist . Aggression and Aid Korea?"
"That's not the problem. The problem is when the Busan Film Festival opens."
After Wang Zhongjun reminded him, Xu Kun realized that the opening time was written as October 10nd to 2th.
This is the critical time for the roadshow of "Operation Kunpeng". How could Xu Kun, the director, supervisor and leading actor, leave?
"Please decline it for me."
Xu Kun immediately threw the post back with a lack of interest: "But if Director Feng is interested, he can take Huang Xiaoming and Deng Chao with him."
"I knew you would choose this."
Wang Zhongjun put the invitation into the drawer and asked, "Has Gao Qunshu contacted you?"
"I've looked for it."
Xu Kun frowned and asked, "What is the company's attitude towards this matter? Director Gao was able to find me so quickly, so he must have heard the news from the company, right? But in this case, what will Director Chen think?"
"Director Chen..."
Wang Zhongjun smiled slightly and said, "The company still hopes that he can focus more on film production and external relations. As for things like directing and screenwriting, there will naturally be other people to do it."
When he specifically mentioned the word "screenwriter", Xu Kun immediately understood that Wang Zhongjun was dissatisfied with Deputy Director Chen Guo for writing the script for Chen Kaige.
It is estimated that Feng Xiaogang's instigation of me to snatch Chen Guofu's job was also related to this incident.
"You can do whatever you want. If Director Chen makes a scene, I will definitely blame the company."
After saying this, Xu Kun prepared to go back to edit the film - in order to speed up the work, he even asked Director Feng Xiaoning for help, who should have arrived by now.
As a result, when I walked out of the office, I ran into Liu Xiaoli head-on.
When Aunt Liu saw Xu Kun, she was inexplicably surprised, and then she nodded and bowed hurriedly, "Director Xu, when did you return to China?"
"It happened just two days ago. Mr. Wang is in there. If you have anything to say, just go in."
Xu Kun was in a hurry to go to the editing room. He casually pointed at Wang Zhongjun's office and continued walking towards the elevator.
After entering the elevator, thinking back to what happened just now, I realized belatedly that Aunt Liu's attitude was even a little humble, which was a far cry from her attitude when she just signed the contract last year.
It seems that the environment can really change people.
