Chapter 55 Character Memories
This morning.
The villain group from the "Conquer" crew occupied the porridge shop next door as usual.
While cracking tea eggs, Sun Honglei asked Li Yixiang across from him, "What has Kun'er been doing these past two days? Not only did he leave the organization, but he also leaves early and comes back late. Could something be wrong?"
As he said this, he winked at Li Yixiang.
Li Yixiang swallowed the soy milk in his mouth and explained for Xu Kun: "Didn't I learn the 'Panyan' technique from him a few days ago? He thought he should find a similar memory point for 'Han Yueping'."
He Tiehong at the next table immediately said, "Although Xu Kun is a non-professional, his enthusiasm for research is no less than the two of you. I think he will have a great future!"
This can be considered as his return of favor to Xu Kun for giving up his "memory point".
Sun Honglei narrowed his eyes and immediately showed his signature smirk: "Let's make it clear first, we can have fun and make noises, but we can't do anything wrong during filming."
Previously in the capital, Xu Kun tried to challenge his position as the "boss", but he had to use all his tricks and finally regained the limelight.
But in terms of how realistic it is, Xu Kun is clearly the better one!
This time, when he heard that Xu Kun was looking for a memory point, how could Sun Honglei not be alert?
Li Yixiang was just about to explain to Xu Kun when he saw Xu Kun and the second female lead Liu Weiwei enter the porridge shop one after another.
Sun Honglei immediately winked at Li Yixiang again: "You still say there is nothing wrong?"
When Liu Weiwei, who was walking in front, heard this, she immediately realized that they had misunderstood something. She immediately picked up a round stool and walked to Sun Honglei's side, blocking the aisle, and then unceremoniously snatched the tea egg that Sun Honglei had just peeled.
After taking a bite of the fried dough stick, Liu Weiwei said vaguely: "What's going on? Even if there is a situation, it is between us, don't you think?"
Liu Weiwei plays the role of 'Li Mei' in the play, who is completely love-brained. Even though she has a husband, she still becomes Liu Huaqiang's mistress without hesitation.
But the reality is just the opposite. Liu Weiwei is a very strong and career-oriented woman.
Moreover, because she has been working as a field host for CCTV for many years and has traveled all over the world, she is more like a big sister than the little woman in the play.
However, in front of Jiang Shan, she can only be the younger sister, and a more obedient younger sister than in the drama. This makes Liu Weiwei extremely aggrieved, but she has nowhere to vent - whether it is joining the crew or getting to know Director Gao, she was obviously there first!
Sun Honglei was also an experienced person. He handed over another tea egg along with the plastic bag and said in a mean way, "You can't eat this alone. There are pairs in the bag. If you don't believe me, ask Chen Bing, Zhang Li and the others to see who is eating alone."
Before Liu Weiwei could spit at him, he turned his gun around and called out to Xu Kun: "Kun'er, have you found that memory point? If you have, show it to the brothers so that we can help you improve it."
Chen Bing [Hu Dahai], Zhang Li [Wang Dapeng] and others nearby also joined in the fun and asked Xu Kun to perform on the spot.
"Then I'll show my shame."
Xu Kun was not pretentious. He knew it would be revealed sooner or later anyway, so he clasped his fists towards everyone, asked the breakfast shop owner for a beer, cut the plastic rope with a knife, and placed one of the bottles on the table.
I saw him knocking the bottle twice rhythmically with the knife in his hand, then suddenly raised his hand and used the blade to pick up the bottle cap.
Everyone was stunned at first, and then cheered in unison.
There were two people who didn't believe it. They picked up a bottle to make sure it was intact, and asked Xu Kun to perform it again. Only then did they believe it was real and not some magic trick.
Sun Honglei secretly incorporated this scene into the play and immediately felt relieved. He was worried that Xu Kun would do something to steal the show, and although this move was eye-catching, the scenes where it could be used were very limited, and it was a brief flash of inspiration, so the impact was naturally limited.
So he also relaxed his guard and praised, "Good job, Kun'er, this move is clean and neat, and most importantly, it doesn't look so deliberate. How long have you been practicing it secretly?"
At this time, Chen Bing, who played Hu Dahai, suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "By the way, when you were in the Beijing disco, it seems that you used a lighter to open a beer!"
Xu Kun smiled and said, "It is because I have a foundation that it is easier to practice. Otherwise, I would not dare to use it as a memory point."
Liu Weiwei came closer, looked at the two bottles of beer curiously and asked: "Why is this like a magic trick? Do you have any other tricks?" "Sister Weiwei, don't move."
Xu Kun gestured to Liu Weiwei to keep bending over, and placed another unopened bottle on the table. He then took a strand of Liu Weiwei's hair, wrapped it around the mouth of the bottle, and pulled it smoothly.
boo~
With a crisp sound, the bottle cap disappeared again.
Liu Weiwei looked at her hair, then at the bubbling beer, and pulled Xu Kun and said, "How did you do that? Tell me now!"
She didn't do this on a whim; she really wanted to learn.
I don't know how many things in this circle are agreed upon over the wine table. If you use this trick at that time, it will definitely be more eye-catching than simply showing off your charm.
Sun Honglei said from behind: "Kun'er, you can't teach her this easily. She has to pay the apprenticeship fee!"
Liu Weiwei grabbed the bottle of wine without hesitation and said to Xu Kun, "Then I'll toast you a glass."
Xu Kun also hurriedly picked up the other bottle and clinked glasses with Liu Weiwei, saying, "This trick is actually not difficult..."
"Weiwei, aren't you being too perfunctory?"
Before Xu Kun could finish his words, Sun Honglei continued to make a fuss.
Liu Weiwei turned around and glanced at him, then hooked the hand holding the wine bottle around Xu Kun's wrist, posing as if they were drinking from each other's cups, and asked provocatively, "Is this enough?"
"Shit, the eldest sister-in-law seduced the younger brother in public, and is there anyone who cares? Is there any justice?!"
Sun Honglei slammed the table and shouted loudly, and the crowd kept cheering on the side, but both of them only tried it briefly.
Then Xu Kun taught Liu Weiwei step by step how to open a beer bottle with her hair - it's actually not that difficult, as long as you master the tricks of being steady, accurate and ruthless.
When this news reached Gao Qunshu's ears, Director Gao had an even higher opinion of Xu Kun. After all, not all actors would seriously design the memorable points of their characters.
Even if they are designed, most of them tend to be distracting.
Actors like Xu Kun who can highlight themselves just right are rare, if not rare at all, at least one in a hundred.
May 14th.
Gao Qunshu gathered everyone together early in the morning and announced two things. First, the crew would officially start filming in two days, and everyone should be more restrained in the next two days so as not to delay the filming task.
Secondly, the crew is still short of a few actors with significant roles, so everyone is asked to use their connections to find anyone with good acting skills and suitable appearance to come over and make a cameo appearance.
This approach is much wilder than Li Yang's. Li Yang wouldn't dare to start filming until all the characters were ready, and he had to find actors himself, begging for favors from everyone.
Xu Kun originally didn't want to get involved as he had limited acquaintances in the circle, and there was no role suitable for Bao Qiang.
However, after reading the list of vacant roles, an idea suddenly occurred to him.
So after Gao Qunshu announced the end of the meeting, Xu Kun called Zhang Yong and said, "Brother Yong, do you want to come to our crew and play a cameo as Ma XX?"
"What?"
Zhang Yong was stunned at first, then he said excitedly: "Wait for me in Shi City, I must be there before noon!"
