Chapter 569 'Boring'
The monks entered the hall, but they didn't talk about any 'unspoken rules' in person. Instead, they presented the Youth Directors Association with a Buddha statue in full view of everyone.
It was said that it was blessed by some great master. Xu Kun had never heard of that name, but from the expressions of some people he knew that it must be a highly respected monk.
While Xu Kun was pretending to be nice to the monks, Liu Yifei and Shu Chang, who were isolated in the outer circle, had already discovered Liu Xiaoli and Song Zuer, mother and daughter, who followed the monks in.
Shu Chang subconsciously stood up and waved over there, but he heard Liu Yifei beside him couldn't help but sigh.
Shu Chang turned around, hesitated again and again, but couldn't help but ask the question he had been asking all along: "Actually, you didn't have to come here at all, or you should have left earlier after confirming that my second aunt had seen Joey."
"is that useful?"
Liu Yifei sighed and pouted, "She is my mother after all, and...she is indeed considering my future."
"Have you ever thought about just quitting?"
"What can I do now that I'm out of the entertainment industry? Should I find a man to marry and raise children?"
Shu Chang wanted to say that it was actually not impossible, but looking at Liu Yifei's expression, he knew that she was not willing to go down this path at all.
At this time, Liu Xiaoli and others had also come around. Song Zuer hugged Shu Chang as soon as she came up, calling her "sister, sister" repeatedly.
Liu Xiaoli looked at Liu Yifei with a stern face. Neither the mother nor the daughter showed any intention of backing down. But after hearing what Liu Yifei had just said, Shu Chang knew that his best friend had actually given in her heart.
She didn't know what emotion she should have towards this outcome. Happy was definitely not it. She could say she felt disappointed... She had seen too many similar situations in the circle in recent years. Compared to those evil and untrustworthy people, Xu Kun was already an excellent choice.
It was not until Liu Yifei was taken away by Liu Xiaoli that Shu Chang recovered from his mixed feelings. He patted Song Zuer on the head and asked, "There's a delicious cake over there. Do you want some?"
The real food will not be served until after the hanging ceremony. Now there are only various desserts, fruits, and a table full of champagne.
Song Zuer was about to answer when her mother asked, "Well, did Sister Liu and Yifei go to see Director Xu?"
"probably."
Shu Chang answered absentmindedly, and then changed the topic to food: "In addition to cake, there is also fruit salad..."
"Lili."
Mother Song interrupted her again anxiously, "Let's... I mean, why don't you go with them? Didn't you and Joey film a movie with Director Xu? It's a good opportunity to catch up with him!"
Shu Chang shook his head: "Forget it. Director Xu is famous. If we get too close, it will easily cause misunderstandings."
When Mother Song heard her say this, all the urgings in her heart got stuck in her throat, and she could only watch her take Song Zuer to the dining table.
This girl is also stupid!
Mother Song secretly complained in her heart, but thinking about Shu Chang's current popularity, it seems that there is no need to rush to find a backer - but if "Lili" is with Director Xu, wouldn't it be much easier to pave the way for Joey in the future?
When she found the dining table with a lot of dissatisfaction, she discovered that Shu Chang was chatting with a woman with a cake and cream all over her face.
Because half of the person's face was covered by cream, Mother Song just felt that the person looked familiar, but she couldn't recognize who he was.
As he was trying to identify her, he suddenly saw the crowd nearby parting to the left and right. Xu Kun walked up quickly, nodded to Shu Chang, then reached out and grabbed Song Zuer's head, smiling and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years. Your little cousin has grown a lot."
"I'm almost ten!"
Song Zuer, who was stuffing the cake into her mouth bit by bit, immediately puffed out her chest and said, "Everyone said that my role as Nezha in The Legend of Nezha is very good, and it will definitely be a hit when it is broadcast!"
"LOL, really."
Xu Kun laughed and turned to the woman eating the cake: "What's the meaning today?"
The woman wiped the cream off her face with a tissue, but it turned out to be Big Mouth Elk, who had just announced his "breakup" with Xu Kun a while ago.
“It’s just boring.”
Li Xiaolu said dejectedly, "How about I come back to find you? I find that people in this circle are getting more and more boring. I can't find excitement during the New Year, so I have to have some fun."
"It's boring, but you mustn't touch those things."
Xu Kun gave some instructions and took the initiative to talk to Li Xiaolu about "Crazy Supermarket". The crew estimated that the project would be launched at the end of May and completed in mid-August.
Xu Kun expects to be able to spare 8 to 10 days to join the crew for filming in early August.
This is actually much later than expected, but on the one hand, Xu Kun was too busy to spare the time in the first half of the year, and on the other hand, with his and Ning Hao's support, Yang Qing became bolder and planned to give it a try in the Lunar New Year box office at the end of the year.
So I just postponed the shooting schedule for a few months.
Seeing the two chatting enthusiastically, Mother Song was filled with frustration. She originally thought that Xu Kun came for Shu Chang, but who knew that he was looking for Li Xiaolu.
However, when he saw Liu Xiaoli with an embarrassed look on her face, bringing Liu Yifei closer but not daring to come close, he felt very proud.
Tsk~
This old woman had been so arrogant all the way, but it turned out that she couldn't find the temple gate while carrying a pig's head.
In comparison, our little Joey has at least had "intimate contact" with Director Xu.
On the other side, Liu Xiaoli was suspecting that Xu Kun was deliberately avoiding her and Xixi, otherwise why would he suddenly run over here just as the mother and daughter approached.
She didn't dare to get angry at Xu Kun, so she took it out on her daughter: "Do you know how much I spent convincing Director Xu to consider you for the leading role in The Way of Heaven? But you, a girl..." "Isn't there an open audition for the leading role in The Way of Heaven?"
"So I put in a lot of effort!"
As soon as Liu Xiaoli finished speaking, she saw her daughter's eyes unconsciously slide down. She was puzzled at first, then her face flushed. She grabbed Liu Yifei and scolded her angrily: "What are you thinking?! When have you ever been like this, like this..."
Liu Yifei calmly asked back: "Then what do you want me to do?"
Liu Xiaoli was suddenly speechless. It seemed that she had to take a great responsibility for her daughter's current condition.
"Sorry~"
At this moment, a sweet voice suddenly sounded in their ears: "Excuse me, is that lady Miss Li Xiaolu, who once won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress?"
Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but frown before she saw the person. When she saw who it was, she became more alert: "You are Lin, Lin..."
"It's Lin Zhiling~"
Lin Zhiling smiled softly, then extended her hand to Liu Yifei and said, "Hello, Miss Liu, I recognize you. The Chinese Paladin is also very popular on the island."
Liu Yifei was somewhat uncomfortable with the soft and gentle baby voice. She was stunned for a moment before she realized that she wanted to shake hands with the other party and said, "Sister Zhiling, I have also seen your movie."
"Hehe, you want to see me make a fool of myself?"
Lin Zhiling said, clenching her fists and imitating the movements and expressions in the movie: "Mengmeng, stand up!"
Liu Yifei couldn't help but burst out laughing.
But Liu Xiaoli standing by was very alert. As a woman who had seen this before, she naturally knew how attractive such a woman was to men.
Fortunately, after she was stepped on, she was unable to 'grow' back to her original size!
But when I look at my daughter again, this problem doesn't seem to be a shortcoming.
At this time, Liu Yifei finally remembered to answer Lin Zhiling's original question: "It is indeed Li Xiaolu, she and Director Xu are old acquaintances. I heard that they filmed together in 02."
"Really?!"
Lin Zhiling screamed, and although she quickly covered her mouth, it still attracted Xu Kun's attention.
Tsk~
What a pretentious woman!
Liu Xiaoli cursed inwardly, it was obvious that Lin Zhiling did it on purpose, yet she pretended to be innocent. What a scheming green tea bitch.
At this time, Xu Kun and Li Xiaolu said something, and then the two of them walked over here.
Seeing this, Lin Zhiling immediately greeted him with a reserved and gentle smile.
"Look, look!"
As soon as she left, Liu Xiaoli began to scold Liu Yifei: "Do you think that position will be reserved for you forever? I'm afraid there are so many women who want to grab it now!"
Liu Yifei didn't say anything, but just stared at Lin Zhiling's back with her lips pursed.
After being praised by the media and fans for so many years, she is still quite confident about her appearance, but compared with the mature and generous Lin Zhiling, it seems that...
the other side.
When Xu Kun saw Lin Zhiling, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "When did Miss Lin come to the mainland?"
"I flew here early this morning."
As Lin Zhiling spoke, she took the initiative to extend her hand to Li Xiaolu and said, "Ms. Li, I have admired you, the youngest Golden Horse Film Queen, for a long time."
"Haha, thank you, thank you."
Li Xiaolu behaved very coldly, she was the type who was openly a bitch, so naturally she was not interested in this top-notch green tea girl.
Seeing Li Xiaolu's attitude, Lin Zhiling turned to Xu Kun and said pitifully, "To be honest with you, Director Xu, I'm actually here to seek asylum. I don't know who leaked the news of our private chat that day, and then... Anyway, these past two days have been really scary."
As she spoke, she patted her chest as if she was afraid.
Li Xiaolu became more alert at this time and asked anxiously, "Did you encounter an accident when you went to receive the Golden Horse Award?"
"Why, don't the mainland know about this?"
Lin Zhiling pretended to be surprised and said, "After Director Xu received his award at the Golden Horse Awards, he took a chariot to the airport."
"real?!"
Li Xiaolu's eyes lit up, and she had long forgotten about the dispute between Ming Bitch and Green Tea. She pulled Lin Zhiling and said, "Come on, let's find a place to talk it out!"
Lin Zhiling originally wanted to bring up a topic of interest to both parties, and at the same time show off her contribution in tipping off the person. However, Li Xiaolu did not play by the rules at all, and she staggered two steps, and it was too late to turn back.
After they left, Xu Kun's eyes finally fell on the mother and daughter opposite.
