Chapter 488 Sisters Reunited
【6600】
Huairou, Beijing, crew of the new Dream of Red Mansions.
"It's broken, it's broken, it's really broken!"
Yang Mi lay down on the bed, kicking his feet towards the sky excitedly.
"What's broken?"
Li Yan, who lived in the same room, turned around and asked curiously.
"Kun's movie broke the box office record!"
Yang Mi jumped up and shook off the newspaper excitedly, saying, "Titanic held the box office record for ten years, and Kun broke it in just fifteen days!"
"real or fake?!"
Although Li Yan had heard Yang Mi bragging for a long time, she still instinctively found it a bit hard to believe when she heard that the record of the large ship had been broken.
"If you don't believe it, see for yourself!"
Yang Mi threw the newspaper to Li Yan, then picked up his phone and muttered, "No, I have to see what the group says. Such great news must be celebrated!"
When Li Yan heard Yang Mi talking about the "group", she couldn't help but show envy on her face. Although the reputation of the "Teddy Sisters Group" is not very good, it is an organization that many people dream of.
Even though she joined the group with money and her family had quite a few resources, she was still far behind Yang Mi, not to mention that Yang Mi was almost at the bottom of the group of sisters.
However, seeing that Yang Mi's entire attention was focused on the phone, Li Yan withdrew her gaze, opened the newspaper, found the entertainment headlines and quickly glanced through them.
It was indeed a record-breaking one.
Just on Friday night, "Operation Kunpeng" broke the million mark, and the total box office reached 3 million, breaking the box office record maintained by "Titanic" for ten years.
Not only that, "Operation Kunpeng" was also a huge success in Hong Kong Island, South Korea, Thailand and other places, and it had already raked in 120 million in box office revenue in just ten days after its release.
Newspapers touted this achievement, believing it to be the best gift from the film and television industry during this year's National Day, and even likened it to the "Olympic Games" of the film and television industry.
Xu Kun, who was only 28 years old, was even deified and was crowned as the number one commercial film director in the Chinese-speaking world.
The report also expressed great dissatisfaction with the Southern faction's pursuit and blockade, believing that such a "national treasure" director and actor deserved more praise and tolerance.
After reading this report, Li Yan became more and more envious of Yang Mi's situation. If she hadn't had the support of Director Xu, how could she have easily moved between the two major crews and won the leading role in The Legend of Sword and Fairy III?
If I could...
Thinking of this, Li Yan couldn't help but shook her head secretly.
Her family conditions did not allow her to do such a thing, otherwise she would not have lived in the same house with Yang Mi.
However, this is just the insistence of her parents. She herself has actually become a little shaken. After all, her family connections are not enough to support her to reach a higher position in the circle.
Li Yan was holding the newspaper in a daze, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of Yang Mi taking out a small mirror and starting to draw her eyebrows and eyes. It looked like she was obviously going out.
"Are you going out? Don't you have a rehearsal this afternoon?"
"I can't control that much anymore!"
Yang Mi said without even turning her head: "There will be a special report on Brother Kun on the evening news broadcast, and the Sixth Princess will also have an exclusive interview with him later. We, the 'Teddy Sisters', have agreed to watch TV together."
Special report on the news broadcast?
Li Yan felt that the newspaper in her hand seemed to have become heavier. After a pause, she couldn't help but remind him again: "Director Li has been very strict recently."
"strict?"
Yang Mi stopped what he was doing, glanced back at her, and sneered, "Did you see what she said when the investors were pulling in actors at night?"
Although Brother Kun certainly cannot compare with the big guys behind the investors, he can still be better than Li Shaohong - how many hundreds of millions of box office revenues have you, Li Shaohong?! What international awards have you won?!
Seeing Yang Mi's aura, Li Yan didn't dare to persuade her anymore. She just stared at her back several times, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Yang Mi had noticed being stared at so often that she turned around and asked seriously, "If I were to do what they did, would your family agree?"
Li Yan shook her head honestly.
"Then Brother Kun will definitely not agree."
Yang Mi closed her makeup box, stood up with her small shoulder bag on her back and said, "Brother Kun likes beautiful women, but hates the troubles they bring."
Having said that, he walked out of the door with a twist of his waist and hips, leaving Li Yan alone in the room in a daze.
In fact, even if Li Yan's family didn't care, Yang Mi would not have taken her with him, because with Li Yan's family background and temper, Yang Mi could not control her at all.
Even if I want to find a teammate, I will definitely look for someone who is pretty, soft-hearted and easy to bully.
Huh?
Isn't this talking about Liu Shishi?
However, Liu Shishi has changed a bit recently, and seems not as innocent as before.
Yang Mi sent the text message asking for leave to Li Shaohong only after she got a taxi on the roadside. Anyway, she had signed a gambling contract before, and Rong Xinda didn't dare and couldn't do anything to her at the moment.
This time the gathering was held in a new location, not in the city, but in a small farmyard on the outskirts of the city.
I heard that this place was contacted by Chen Shu, and they use green vegetables and free-range poultry. Although the other facilities are a bit poor, this time we can watch CCTV and the signal can be received everywhere.
to the place.
After Yang Mi got out of the car and entered the courtyard, she saw Li Xiaolu standing in the corridor talking to Jiang Yiyan. She hurried over and greeted them warmly, "Sister Xiaolu, Sister Yiyan~!"
But in my heart I was secretly complaining, didn’t you, Jiang Yiyan, say that you wanted to establish your own Nan Tian Men? Why are you always present at the sisters’ reunion?
"Hi~" Li Xiaolu replied, but Jiang Yiyan just glanced at Yang Mi and continued to turn her head to talk to Li Xiaolu.
Ever since Yang Mi revealed his ambition, the relationship between the two has been deteriorating. If it weren't for the purpose of showing magnanimity, Jiang Yiyan would have kicked Yang Mi out of the 'Nantianmen' chat group long ago.
Yang Mi hit a snag. He wanted to go inside to see who was there, but he heard Jiang Yiyan say, "This time when Mr. Han San went to Shancheng, he wanted to ask Brother Kun to come out and register at the Central Film Academy, but who knew that someone from the Film Bureau got there first."
Yang Mi's feet were immediately nailed to the ground, and his ears stood up involuntarily.
She had heard a long time ago that Mr. Han San wanted to bring Brother Kun to China Film Group, but the people from the Film Bureau were looking for Brother Kun... they couldn't be trying to get him to become an official, right?
Li Xiaolu was also very curious about this, and after repeated questions, Jiang Yiyan continued, "From what Brother Kun said, it seems that the Film Bureau wants to set up an unofficial organization to further regulate the sixth-generation directors. In the future, any major moves by the directors on the list will have to be reported to the organization in advance.
Since it is a non-official organization, it certainly cannot directly send someone within the system to lead it - the sixth generation directors are most opposed to this, so they want Brother Kun to come forward.
In order to gain a place on the Internet, they recognized Kun Ge as a member of the Sixth Generation of Directors. Now it is not easy to go back on their word and deny it.”
Doesn't this mean that Brother Kun is about to become the 'leader' of all sixth-generation directors?
Although he knew that the biggest characteristic of the sixth generation directors was that they did not obey their leaders, Yang Mi still couldn't help but feel proud of Brother Kun and a little honored by the same token.
Li Xiaolu was surprised and said, "Wouldn't it be much easier for the sisters to win awards for acting in art films in the future?"
"Yup!"
Yang Mi's eyes lit up as he realized there was actually this benefit. Since all sixth-generation directors who want to make a movie have to report to Brother Kun first, wouldn't Brother Kun be able to keep track of the latest developments of the sixth-generation directors at all times in the future?
If there are more transactions of interest, maybe I will also...
"Don't join in the fun."
Jiang Yiyan was so excited that she suddenly glanced at Yang Yi and sneered, "Except for Gan Wei who has moved behind the scenes, your acting skills..."
As he said this, he shook his head.
Being looked down upon by Jiang Yiyan, Yang Mi was furious. After all, she was a child star and a graduate of a professional school. How could she be the last one? !
She couldn't help but retort: "I'm better than Zhao Liying, right?!"
"Haha~"
Jiang Yiyan shook her head and laughed: "Wait until 'Dwelling Narrowness' is broadcast, then you can watch it and make your decision."
This made Yang Mi feel uneasy, and he thought, could it be possible that Zhao Liying's level could improve so suddenly?
Could it be that Brother Kun gave her some special treatment? !
This is possible. Brother Kun is a big director with the highest box office sales, so his ability to train actors must be very good.
Thinking of this, Yang Mi felt even more unbalanced. If it was someone else, it would be fine, but why did that country bumpkin get all the benefits? !
"Hey, Mumu is here too."
At this time, the host Chen Shu came out and greeted the three people, "Don't stand outside in the wind, come in and warm yourself by the fire."
Yang Mi responded immediately and followed Chen Shu into the house. She found that it was antique inside, with a charcoal fire burning in the middle. It was warm and cozy.
Except for Zhao Liying and Qin Lan, everyone else was present. Zhao Liying was filming in Shanghai, and Qin Lan...
Hao Lei explained: "Qin Lan said that she would not participate in matters related to Xu Kun."
Li Xiaolu curled her lips: "Then she has a lot to choose from."
Indeed, at least six or seven out of ten sisterhood gatherings were related to Brother Kun.
“Hey, hey hey!”
At this time, Jiang Xin jumped out, holding up a notebook and said, "I just saw a video on . That editor Ma brought people to the hotel entrance to protest with banners, but was scratched by broken glass that fell from the upper floor."
"Deserve it!"
Jiang Yiyan gloated: "One after another she said discrimination and another one said awakening, as if she was the only one who could represent women."
"EMMM~"
Jiang Xin did not comment on this. Although she did not think that Ling was qualified to represent women, it felt even less convincing when these words came from Jiang Yiyan's mouth.
So she ignored it and said, "She is in the hospital now. She has called the police and said that she wants to hold the crew of Operation Kunpeng responsible."
"Why?"
"She said the glass fell from the sixth floor, where the crew was..."
"I know about that."
Hu Die interrupted to explain: "I heard from Baoqiang that it was a man who wanted to be a kung fu star who climbed to the sixth floor and broke the window. It should have nothing to do with the crew."
Hu Die is now considered a non-staff member of the Teddy Sisters Group.
"Humph~"
Jiang Yiyan said disdainfully: "What's that horse? He just wants to attract attention - if a normal person gets injured, why would he rush to post a video online?"
This practice was indeed quite rare in 08, but in a few years it will be the era where people eat with their phones first at dinner parties.
The sisters chatted and laughed, occasionally exchanged sarcastic remarks, and even went to pick out the chickens, ducks, and mutton for dinner. Time soon came to around 7 o'clock in the evening.
When Xu Kun's interview appeared on the TV screen, everyone stopped what they were doing at the same time. The only sound in the large living room was the host's clear and melodious voice:
"The new work of Mr. Xu Kun, a famous director and international film emperor, has been released in China, Hong Kong, South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore and other places recently, breaking several box office records, including one set ten years ago..."
