Chapter 524 Kun's Greatness
Huang Yi was not a fool. He was just being played pitiful by Liu Tao last night, which made him feel sad for his own kind, so he forgot to be on guard unconsciously.
But after waking up and thinking about it, Huang Yi quickly realized that she had been framed yesterday. Fearing that Liu Tao would do something weird, she hurriedly contacted Huo Siyan.
So there was this call from Huo Siyan.
After hearing the general situation, Xu Kun was quite interested in Wang Ke's experience of going from a billionaire to a billionaire. As for the leaked information...
Those are all rumors spread by several sources. Even if they are spread, they can only be regarded as hearsay. His image in the entertainment industry is not that of a moral gentleman. Does he need to care about these things?
Therefore, what Xu Kun found most strange was the purpose of Huo Siyan's urgent call.
So I asked tentatively: "So what are you going to do?"
"Of course we should strike while the iron is hot. I'll prepare a surprise for you tonight." Huo Siyan chuckled and said, "If she hadn't done anything stupid, we wouldn't have been able to manipulate her."
As expected of you!
"Just don't overdo it."
Xu Kun gave some instructions and hung up the phone without asking any further questions.
His deepest impression of Huang Yi was Xiaoyanzi in "My Fair Princess 3", but he had rarely watched such melodramatic dramas and the impression was not very deep.
I don’t know what tricks Huo Siyan can come up with.
Turning his head absentmindedly, facing dozens of pairs of eyes, Xu Kun remembered that there was still a "fraudulent car case" waiting for him to deal with, so he quickly called the relevant personnel of the preparatory group.
Soon someone came and took the two girls away. As for how the preparatory group should deal with the matter, Xu Kun did not ask any further questions.
He couldn't get involved in this kind of thing, otherwise people would rush to him one after another. After all, the 'Teddy Sisters' set a good example, and there were too many people who wanted to get in touch with him.
There are also many people who are willing to do anything to be on the Spring Festival Gala.
The rehearsals for the next show finally got on track.
They are all action actors. Even Zhang Jin and Yang Junyi, who have never been exposed to lion dance, can learn it much faster than ordinary people. Baoqiang has practiced with Xu Kun, and Zhao Wenzhuo also learned lion dance for a while when he was filming Wong Fei Hung.
After rehearsing for most of the day, at least without the lion head and body, they were able to perform the movements such as climbing on the pole or the stool and the lion raising its head very well.
In the evening, Lang Kun, the chief instructor, made a special trip to Hall No. 8 and apologized to Xu Kun in person, saying that he had wanted to treat Xu Kun and others to a simple meal in the evening, but the review process today was not going smoothly and might not be completed until after nine o'clock in the evening.
"Tomorrow, tomorrow night I will make amends to you all."
Xu Kun came here to complete a ZZ mission, so it was impossible for him to pick on Lang Kun for this. He sent Lang Kun away with a few jokes and turned around to discuss with Zhao Wenzhuo and others where to go for dinner.
He and these three people haven't seen each other for a while. Even if Lang Kun doesn't treat them, everyone will get together in the evening.
As a result, while they were discussing it, Coach Shen came up hesitantly and seemed to want to say something to Xu Kun.
Although the Tagou Martial Arts School was there to accompany them in their martial arts performance, the specific program for Xu Kun and the others had not yet been decided, and coupled with the previous incident of bumping into someone, Coach Shen felt a little embarrassed.
So the whole day, both sides practiced separately. Except for lunch, when a few kids came to ask for autographs and chatted with Xu Kun for a while, there was basically no communication.
Coach Shen came to me on his own initiative at this time, there must be something difficult going on.
"Coach Shen."
Xu Kun didn't want to waste time with him, so he got straight to the point and asked, "We are now in the same boat, so just tell me what you want to say."
"Is such that."
Coach Shen rubbed his hands and said in a flattering manner, "Director Xu, can you tell the people at the Spring Festival Gala to let the kids continue rehearsing here tonight... that is, tonight?"
"Continue rehearsing" was obviously an excuse, and they actually just wanted the children to sleep in the rehearsal room.
Xu Kun was not surprised by this, because during lunch, he heard the children whisper that there were three coaches leading the team this time.
At the beginning, they led the team here every day, but later, seeing that the Spring Festival Gala was slow to assign them tasks and did not value them that much, the three coaches began to take turns leading the team.
Those who are not on duty go out to eat and drink, get drunk every day, and sometimes simply stay out all night.
And from then on, the children's food and accommodation conditions went from bad to worse - although the children did not say it explicitly, their words and deeds clearly accused the three coaches of withholding their food and accommodation expenses.
"I'm afraid this is not appropriate."
Facing Coach Shen's plea, Xu Kun shook his head and refused at first. Just when Coach Shen looked frustrated, he told Bao Qiang beside him, "Bao Qiang, you stay and make arrangements for them nearby, so as not to delay future rehearsals. We have booked a place to eat, and will text you later."
Although Xu Kun had no good feelings towards these martial arts coaches, he couldn't let the children suffer in vain.
"Okay~"
Wang Baoqiang is the most empathetic person towards the children in these martial arts schools. Even if Xu Kun does not make arrangements, he will definitely be willing to provide help to the best of his ability.
Coach Shen immediately smiled happily and thanked Xu Kun profusely.
Xu Kun was too lazy to pay attention to him and just left with his men. As soon as he went out, he ran into Yadan and two people from the Zhao family.
"Hello, Director Xu!"
Yadan trotted over from a distance to greet Xu Kun.
Xu Kun stopped and asked with a smile, "Have you finished rehearsing too?"
"No, we went out to herd sheep not long after you left in the morning." Yadan said helplessly: "The judges were not satisfied with our skit and asked my master to revise it. My master was so angry that he gave us a day off."
As she spoke, she pointed in the direction of the central hall and said, "We just went backstage to watch the excitement - you didn't see it, several dancers were fighting, and their upper body clothes were torn."
"A fight broke out backstage?"
Zhang Jin was stunned and asked, "Aren't they afraid of being eliminated?"
"The fight started because they were kicked out." Yadan explained, "I heard that a main player sprained his ankle and was temporarily replaced by a substitute, and the whole team was kicked out. The main player blamed the substitute for making too many mistakes, and the substitute blamed the main player for suddenly spraining his ankle and not being prepared, and the result was a fight."
It turns out that this hit porcelain incident has a sequel...
Seeing Zhang Jin's inexperienced look, Xu Kun said with a smile, "Fighting during rehearsal is nothing. When the 07 Spring Festival Gala was officially broadcast, Zhu Jun and Li Yong even had a fight backstage."
He heard this from his mother. At that time, the program was temporarily adjusted, and there was a problem with the connection. First, Zhu Jun interrupted Li Yong abruptly, and then Li Yong was stuck and forgot the words, which disrupted the rhythm of others.
Anyway, three minutes before the bell rang, several hosts were in chaos on the stage. After the show ended, Li Yong left the other hosts behind and strode back to the backstage. Later, he had an argument with Zhu Jun backstage, which eventually led to a fight between the two.
Yang Junyi was shocked after hearing this: "I thought only amateur troupes doing performances would easily get into conflicts, but I didn't expect the CCTV Spring Festival Gala to be like this as well."
"The pressure of the Spring Festival Gala is huge."
Xu Kun didn't find it strange at all. When people are under too much pressure, they tend to lose control of their emotions, and many of them end up killing others on impulse and become cellmates.
Fortunately, they are here just to make up the numbers this time.
With Zhao Wenzhuo, the other two found a restaurant nearby. After entering a private room and giving Baoqiang a seat, Xu Kun ordered two dishes that he liked. Then he handed the menu to Zhao Wenzhuo and asked, "Old Zhao, what are your plans for next year?"
This is actually the question Jiang Yiyan wanted to ask. Zhang Jin and Yang Junyi's initiative to join her gave her great confidence, so she set her sights on Zhao Wenzhuo.
"Intend?"
Zhao Wenzhuo took a deep breath and said seriously, "I'm ready to return to the big screen!"
Isn't this nonsense? The question is what next?
Xu Kun waited for a long time but saw nothing, so he asked again: "Do you have any specific plans?"
Zhao Wenzhuo tightly grasped the menu and gritted his teeth, saying, "My old friends in Hong Kong have been contacting me recently. I plan to give it another try after the Chinese New Year. Even if I can't become Li Lianjie, I can't be worse than Zhen Zidan, right?"
Return to Hong Kong circle at this time?
Xu Kun was a little confused about his train of thought. It was okay before, but now the Hong Kong circle is obviously on the decline. What is the difference between joining the Hong Kong circle at this time and joining the KMT in 49?
Maybe he wanted to fight back and get back what he had lost.
Since Zhao Wenzhuo thought so, there was nothing more to say. Xu Kun then began to focus on greeting Zhang Jin and Yang Junyi, making both of them feel flattered.
The text messages from Baoqiang and Huo Siyan arrived almost at the same time. The content of the messages was very simple, just three words: Come to my house.
Xu Kun’s reply was simpler: ten o’clock.
However, when he actually arrived downstairs of Huo Siyan's house, it was almost eleven o'clock. Baoqiang was reminded of the past and was drunk that night. He insisted that Hu Die come to pick him up in person.
Xu Kun couldn't just leave him in the restaurant.
So he waited until Hu Die heard the news and rushed over, and saw the two of them showing their affection, and then he hurried to keep the appointment.
Before going upstairs, Xu Kun sent a text message to Huo Siyan to let her know that he had arrived.
When they got upstairs, they found that the door of Huo Siyan's house was half open and it was pitch black inside.
Because Huo Siyan said in advance that she wanted to give him a surprise, Xu Kun didn't find it strange. He went straight into the house, and then saw some dim candlelight leaking out from the innermost master bedroom.
Xu Kun walked over without hesitation and opened the door, and saw the room was all red, with big red wedding characters, a mandarin duck quilt, wedding wine, and even a red phoenix tent set up on the tatami-style double bed.
On the round stool next to the dressing table, a bride wearing a red veil was sitting quietly.
Her sitting posture alone seemed as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves, but her ten intertwined fingers fully exposed her nervousness.
This one...
There shouldn’t be any in “My Fair Princess 3”, right?
If Xu Kun remembered correctly, Xiaoyanzi and the Fifth Prince should have gotten married in the second part.
He thought about it and did not rush to lift the veil. Instead, he quietly took out his cell phone and sent a text message, seeking off-site support.
Soon, a text message alert sounded from the guest bedroom opposite. It was obvious that Huo Siyan was watching silently from the opposite side.
After receiving the text message, Huo Siyan quickly replied: Haven't you seen "Marrying the Wrong Man"? !
uh~
After Huo Siyan's reminder, Xu Kun had a vague impression, but it was not his fault. This movie was released in November 2000. For others, it was a TV series from 11 years ago, but for Xu Kun, he actually watched it more than 8 years ago - more than 20 years of cellmates + 7 years of time travel.
But it doesn’t matter if you can’t remember it, you can know the plot just by looking at the name.
Xu Kun put away his phone, then walked slowly to Huang Yi and gently lifted the red veil.
To be honest, he wasn't expecting too much at first. After all, he remembered Huang Yi's version of Xiaoyanzi very clearly. Her appearance was definitely better than Zhao Yanzi's, but not much better.
But when the veil was lifted, Xu Kun was completely stunned by Huang Yi's appearance.
When dressed as Xiaoyanzi, Huang Yi's straight and pointed nose always gave people a feeling of disharmony, but now this look, with lively and expressive big eyes, straight and unyielding nose bridge, three-dimensional and soft face shape, heroic eyebrows and cute red lips, are all just right.
No wonder Huo Siyan said she wanted to give herself a surprise.
As their eyes met, Huang Yi was obviously a little nervous. Besides the uneasiness brought by experiencing such a thing for the first time, it was also because Xu Kun arrived an hour later than expected, and just now he stopped inexplicably, which made her a little confused about what Xu Kun was thinking.
She instinctively wanted to lower her head and avoid Xu Kun's gaze, but when she thought of Huo Siyan's instructions for her to try to fit the image of Li Yuhu back then, she had to pull herself together and try her best to look lively.
At this moment, Xu Kun suddenly said, "Is 'Marrying the Wrong Man' a production crew from our mainland?"
Huang Yi was confused by the question. After a while, he nodded and said, "Yes, it is a mainland crew. You... Director Xu, why are you asking this?"
Xu Kun slapped his thigh immediately and said: "I said that the hairdressers in Hong Kong and Taiwan in those years didn't have this kind of aesthetic!"
Before he finished speaking, he heard someone outside the door burst into laughter.
Looking back, it turned out that Huo Siyan was worried about the situation here, so she quietly approached the door to observe, and happened to overhear the conversation between the two.
Now that she was discovered by the two, she no longer tried to hide herself, but walked into the room openly, turned slowly in front of Xu Kun, and said, "How is it? Not much worse than the original Du Bingyan, right?"
It turned out that she had also put on a phoenix coronet and a bridal robe. Compared to the simpler and more lively look of 'Li Yuhu', the outfit of 'Du Bingyan' was more graceful and dignified, which just matched the quiet and gentle temperament of Huo Siyan.
Xu Kun couldn't remember what the original version looked like, but this version was definitely not bad.
Huo Siyan and Xu Kun have been friends for a long time. She knew the answer just by looking at his eyes without Xu Kun's answer. She immediately giggled, walked around Xu Kun, came to Huang Yi, and put her arms around Huang Yi's shoulders.
She looked back and said, "Li Yuhu and Du Bingyan were the dreams of so many people back then. Now we sisters are all here, but what are you still waiting for, my dear?"
After saying that, Huo Siyan noticed that Huang Yi was trying to struggle, and his face was full of rejection and entanglement.
Obviously, although she was forced to accept the way of Cosplay, she was not ready to go further.
"Silly sister."
Huo Siyan chuckled and poked Huang Yi's forehead and said, "I'm doing this to help you. Haven't you heard of a saying called Kun Zhi Da..."
