Chapter 531: All Called
It's early morning.
Xu Kun pushed away the octopus-like woman on his body, climbed up from the bed as if he was familiar with the place, went into the bathroom, ran the water, and washed his face. It was not until he was brushing his teeth that he felt something seemed to be wrong.
After staring at the mirror cabinet for a while, he suddenly realized why he had returned to the two-bedroom apartment on the South Fourth Ring Road?
He returned to the bed, pulled aside the woman's hair and saw that it was Zhao Liying who had just returned from Shanghai.
Xu Kun slapped her on the tip of her buttocks. Zhao Liying turned over and sat up with a cry. She stared at Xu Kun dazedly for a few seconds, then lay back down mumbling, "So I was dreaming."
"What are you dreaming about? Get up quickly."
Xu Kun slapped her again, and this time Zhao Liying finally came to her senses.
She turned over and sat up again, holding her hips and laughing, "Yes, I'm back in Beijing now. I thought I was in the Magic City crew just now."
"What happened last night? Why did you go back to the South Fourth Ring Road?"
While asking, Xu Kun recalled what happened yesterday. He did enjoy the attention of the crowd at the dinner party, but he was also drunk quite a bit.
The one who was most active in getting people to drink was Cheng Long.
Although Brother Cheng Long was smiling, he was obviously still a little upset about being overtaken by a young star in the kung fu movie industry.
Mainly, in his opinion, there is nothing new about Xu Kun's approach. The only difference is that it highlights the increasingly important international status of Southeast University and creates a lot of additional topics.
But even if that's the case, the box office shouldn't have reached 7 million all at once, right?
This is of course referring to the domestic box office. If we talk about the global box office, Jackie Chan is definitely not to be outdone. The previous "Rush Hour" series won box office revenues of million, million, and million US dollars respectively, each of which is higher than "Operation Kunpeng".
However, considering that he was the lead actor and not the director and actor, the conversion should be discounted a bit. After all, in this circle, the director has always been more respected than the lead actor.
Back to the topic.
How did I get to the South Fourth Ring Road?
"It was Brother Bin who called me over."
At this time, Zhao Liying said, "He said you drank too much and need someone to take care of you."
"Chen Xuebin?"
"No, it's Huang Bin."
"Oh~"
Now Xu Kun immediately understood that Huang Bin was also a busy man. In addition to being his chief assistant, he was also the deputy general manager of Nantianmen Studio and Zhao Liying's agent.
On the surface, the third position is the least important. After all, "Home Sweet Home" has just been completed, and all Zhao Liying can show off at the moment is the gimmick of "Roast Chicken Sisters". Apart from that, she is unknown.
But in fact, Huang Bin attaches great importance to this title, not only because he is optimistic about Zhao Liying's future, but also because of his ambition.
And he chose to arrange for Xu Kun to spend the night in the South Fourth Ring Road instead of the four-bedroom rental house where Tang Yan lived, obviously to create an opportunity for Xiao Zhao to get close to him.
Haha~
This kid is quite cunning.
Xu Kun understood that the people below had their own little thoughts, but it was obvious that he could not fully trust such people who acted on their own in the future.
While thinking about finding someone else to balance Huang Bin, Xu Kun took Zhao Liying to take a bath together.
It was just after 9 o'clock when I entered the room, and it was 10: when I came out of the bathroom.
Throwing Zhao Liying, who went in vertically and came out horizontally, onto the sofa in the living room, Xu Kun opened the refrigerator and took a look. Seeing that there was not much food in it, he asked, "Are you hungry? Do you want to go out and fill up?"
"I'm hungry, but I don't want to move."
Zhao Liying changed her position on the sofa, covered her belly button with a cushion, and stammered in a slightly hoarse voice: "Brother Kun, there is something I need to confess to you."
"What, you cheated?"
"How can it be!"
Zhao Liying sat up suddenly and said anxiously, "Sister Yi Yan asked me to bring someone to you, but we ran into Sister Ou when we came back. I didn't know how to answer when Sister Ou asked me about it, so I said in a hurry to bring her along!" She was worried about how to tell this, but Xu Kun made a joke and she explained it in a few words in a hurry.
"Who is he? Why did he go to such great lengths to bring him here from the Demon City?"
Xu Kun didn't care much about Wang Ou. After all, Wang Ou had been trying to squeeze into his circle for a long time, and he was also very good-looking and had a good figure.
He was more curious about the other heroine.
"no!"
Zhao Liying hurriedly explained: "I didn't bring her from the Magic City. She was already in the capital... No, she took the initiative to find the Magic City from the capital."
She went around in circles and finally managed to explain Liu Tao's situation clearly. During the process, she inevitably added a lot of subjective emotions and said a lot of good things about Liu Tao.
In fact, as soon as Xu Kun heard that it was Liu Tao, he understood what was going on.
However, Xu Kun was actually skeptical about the statement that she "returned to her old business to pay off her husband's debts". Although he had never had much dealings with Liu Tao, he had heard of the rumors about Liu Tao when he was in the crew of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.
This guy is obviously not an easy person to deal with.
Now, they have been married for less than a year and have already accumulated a debt of 5 million yuan. Normal people would definitely choose to break up decisively, but Liu Tao chose to return to filming to pay off his debts...
Either the couple's love is truly strong, or the Wang family has something fatal on her, or Liu Tao wants to take a gamble by relying on his image as a virtuous wife.
Of course, it's possible that it's a bit of all three.
"Let's meet first and talk later."
Xu Kun checked the time and said to Zhao Liying, "Contact Liu Tao and Wang Ou, and let's go out for lunch together."
As he spoke, he took out his cell phone and started calling Huo Siyan, preparing to ask Huo Siyan to call Huang Yi as well.
In addition...
"By the way, let her call her husband along as well."
Although everyone said that Prince Wang already knew, had acquiesced, and had accepted his fate, Mr. Xu, who had gotten to this point, hated complications the most.
At least one has to confirm the emotions and opinions of the family members in person before deciding whether to be the "nice guy".
"what?!"
Zhao Liying had already dialed the phone, and she was completely stunned when she heard the order. It was not until Liu Tao on the other end asked her in panic if there was any accident in recommending her to Brother Kun that she came to her senses.
"Um……"
Zhao Liying thought about it for a moment and said guiltily, "Brother Kun wants to treat you to lunch at noon."
"real?!"
Liu Tao was overjoyed when she heard this. She had thought something had happened when she heard something was wrong with Zhao Liying's movements. But now she heard that she would be able to meet Director Xu at noon, and her heart immediately returned to her stomach.
So I couldn't wait to ask: "Where is it? I can go there right now!"
"It seems the place hasn't been decided yet."
Zhao Liying said, and then hesitantly said: "And Brother Kun wants to treat you to a meal."
Hearing her emphasize the word "you" again, Liu Tao finally realized something was wrong, but he didn't understand what it meant for a moment, so he could only ask carefully: "Liying, can you please explain it more clearly?"
"That's it... Sister Liu, please bring your husband with you."
"what?!"
Liu Tao was stunned for a moment. When he finally came to his senses and wanted to ask further questions, Zhao Liying on the other end had already hung up the phone guiltily.
