Chapter 491 09 Spring Festival Gala
【5600】
After hearing Xu Kun's purpose, Zhang Chen, who was very excited, had no time to speak before the office door was banged loudly.
Needless to say, there must be someone eavesdropping outside.
Zhang Chen felt a little embarrassed, so he signaled with his eyes for Mary to handle it. However, Mary didn't even look at him. Her two big eyes just stared at Xu Kun without blinking.
"Mary!"
Zhang Chen felt even more embarrassed, so he frowned and scolded.
"Have!"
Mary subconsciously straightened her back and blurted out, "Director Xu, if they are the directors, can I play the leading role in the movie?!"
The door panel made another noise, creaking continuously. I guess the people outside heard what was happening and pressed their ears shut.
“It depends on what the director wants.”
Xu Kun smiled and said: "If things can be done, in principle I will not actively interfere with the filming process - the idea of this movie was actually mainly inspired by online novels.
If the troupe is not busy recently, let them go online and read novels about rebirth in the entertainment industry to see if they can summarize and sublimate them and come up with a comedy script. "
Although Xu Kun prefers Yan Fei, he is also prepared to give Peng Damo a chance. If his script is obviously more in line with the original movie, it is not impossible to let him take the lead.
After Xu Kun said this, not only Mary and the people outside the door, but even Zhang Chen, the boss, felt a little dazed.
Don't forget that the original purpose of establishing the Happy Twist team was to develop into the film and television industry, but due to bad luck, due to the SARS epidemic, they developed into a drama troupe.
Now that Xu Kun, the top director of the new generation, has said he wants to support Happy Twist in making movies, how could Zhang Chen not be excited?
In other words, Shen Teng was able to keep his composure. After all, Happy Twist wanted to make a movie, and Xu Kun was supporting it behind the scenes, so he couldn't get around it anyway.
Just as he was chatting with Shen Teng about his expectations for the script, his cell phone suddenly rang. Xu Kun picked it up and saw that it was another unfamiliar number.
He stood up and apologized to Zhang Chen, holding up his phone and trying to open the door to go out. Shen Teng hurriedly shouted outside: "Young and old men, please make way. Director Xu is going to the corridor!"
There was a flurry of footsteps outside, and when Xu Kun opened the door, there was only one pair of sneakers left in the corridor.
No wonder he can act in comedies...
Xu Kun answered the phone speechlessly, and heard the other side politely ask: "Excuse me, is this Director Xu Kun?"
"It's me, who are you?"
"I'm Lang Kun from CCTV. I'm contacting you this time to ask for your support for this year's Spring Festival Gala."
When Xu Kun first heard the other party introduce himself, he didn't realize who he was. Later, when he heard the term "Spring Festival Gala", he realized that he was the chief director of this year's Spring Festival Gala.
"It turned out to be Coach Lang. I'm so sorry, so sorry."
Xu Kun made a few polite remarks and asked doubtfully, "From what you said, do you want me to be on the Spring Festival Gala?"
"This is not just my opinion. All of our colleagues at CCTV, as well as the relevant leaders above, are looking forward to your appearance on this year's Spring Festival Gala and wishing the people of the country a happy new year."
I see, this is still a political task.
"Then let's make an appointment to meet and talk?"
"That's great, why don't you set a time and I'll come visit you then."
"You're welcome. How about this? I'll treat you to lunch tomorrow at noon—near CCTV, so as not to interrupt your work."
Although there are still nearly three months to the Spring Festival, CCTV Spring Festival Gala has always started early, and it is estimated that some of the finale programs have already been confirmed.
The two of them exchanged some polite comments before Xu Kun hung up the phone. Turning back, he saw a young man squatting on the ground tying his shoelaces.
"Hello, Director Xu!"
Seeing Xu Kun turning his head, he immediately jumped up and saluted exaggeratedly, "I'm Allen from the class of 02 at Beijing Film Academy. I'm in the same class as Jiang Yiyan and Zhu Yawen!"
It's obvious that this young man wants to improve himself. "Then keep in touch with your old classmates more often in the future."
Xu Kun replied with a smile, then went into the office - whether considering future achievements or current relationships, he would never abandon Shen Teng to support Allen.
Mary was also kicked out at this time.
Seeing Allen looking a little disappointed, Mary hesitated for a moment, pretending not to notice, poked his back with her elbow, and then exaggeratedly made an S shape: "I've thought about it, but I don't think there's anything special about those two pieces of material. Do you think Director Xu is trying to save the country in a roundabout way and take the opportunity to pull me into the Teddy Sisters Group?"
She was obviously joking, but Allen, who always liked to tease people, didn't laugh. He looked back at her and asked seriously, "If it's true, will you come in?"
"Uh~"
Mary froze suddenly. The two thoughts, one positive and one negative, fought in her head for eighteen rounds, but she couldn't decide the winner - she was not the kind of person who would bow down to others for a few pieces of silver, but those were the Teddy Sisters!
It was not until Allen snorted and turned away that Mary chased after him in anger and asked, "What do you mean? What do you mean by that? Explain yourself clearly before you leave!"
…………
After leaving Happy Twist, Xu Kun started calling Zhao Wenzhuo and others one by one.
He is tone-deaf and not cut out for skits. After much thought, the only things he can perform on the Spring Festival Gala are lion dance and martial arts.
But these cannot be done by one person alone, so he plans to bring all the action actors in "Operation Kunpeng" with him. Then everyone will perform a routine, and then there will be a big brawl at the end, which will be fun and easy to deal with.
When I returned home in the evening, I found that Liu Haibo, who had been talking about me, had come to me on his own initiative, and he brought with him a script adapted from a novel.
"TV drama?"
Xu Kun picked it up and flipped through it. He saw that it was a Republican drama called "Iron Pear Flower". He shook his head and said, "Since you want to make a TV series, why don't you just take the TV version of Du Lala and save yourself the trouble."
Liu Haibo slumped on the sofa, saying indignantly: "I can film a TV series, but I just can't stand Xu Jinglei's energy. She writes nonsense on her blog and really thinks she is a talented woman - in terms of box office and ratings, how can she compare with me?!"
As he spoke, he tapped the script with his chin and said, "Please help review this script later to see if there is anything that needs improvement."
Xu Kun pretended to be disgusted and said, "I'm aiming for 7 million, and you want me to help you with the script for the TV series?"
Then he asked again: "Has the lead actor been decided?"
"Of course, I'll look for it in your harem."
Liu Haibo didn't take Xu Kun's joke seriously: "I think Chen Shu is quite suitable. She is particularly good at acting in Republican dramas."
"alright."
Since it was given to his own people, Xu Kun had nothing to say, and turned to talk to Liu Haibo about the "Youth Directors Association".
When he heard that Xu Kun was ordered to set up a semi-official association and wanted to get himself in as the vice president, Old Liu laughed like a dog's tail grass and slapped his thigh and said, "You still have some conscience and haven't been blinded by victory! Besides me, who else can be the vice president?"
"For the time being, we have decided on you and Ning Hao. According to Mr. Han San's suggestion, one of them will be kept by the Film Bureau, and it would be best if we find a young female director for the other one."
"You can't look for Xu Jinglei!"
Liu Haibo immediately said, "She and I are born to clash, we can't get along!"
"But there are so few young female directors with achievements..."
"That's not OK!"
Liu Haibo rolled his eyes and suggested, "Why don't we pick one from the harem sisters and use her to make a movie - your association hasn't even started yet anyway."
"Is this appropriate?"
"Why don't you just find the one that hasn't been exposed? Isn't it okay if others don't know about it?!"
