Chapter 121 The Best Person
Cai Yinong was secretly relieved that Xu Kun was smiling again, but when she heard Xu Kun ask her to release these negative news during the summer vacation, Cai Yinong was a little confused.
But before she could ask, the waiter brought snacks and tea.
Cai Yinong had no choice but to keep silent for the time being.
Xu Kun leisurely picked up the remote control on the coffee table and turned on the plasma TV on the wall.
The TV channel had been tuned long ago, and when I turned it on, it directly started broadcasting the Golden Horse Awards ceremony.
In fact, Cai Yinong asked Xu Kun to watch the live broadcast just to take the opportunity to show off her strength. Unexpectedly, Xu Kun actually started watching the live broadcast at this time.
This man was obviously much more difficult to deal with than expected.
After the waiter left, Cai Yinong organized his words, reached out and pressed the two pieces of paper, as if to put pressure on Xu Kun, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Xu, you have to think it over carefully."
“I thought about it last year.”
Xu Kun spread his hands and said, "Not to mention that at least two-thirds of your stuff is hearsay, even if it's all true, I'm not afraid.
First, I was young and frivolous at that time, and young people’s mistakes are always easily forgiven, not to mention that I didn’t do anything murderous or arson.
Second, my parents divorced when I was a child, and I was forced to be self-reliant at the age of 14; third, I helped the county sell vegetables last year, and this year I actively organized anti-epidemic efforts, for which the county issued a special certificate of commendation. "
When Xu Kun said this, he leaned forward slightly, propped his hands on the coffee table, stared at Cai Yinong and said, "What do you call this? This is called a prodigal son returning home! Even if you don't reveal this, I will reveal it myself later."
After a pause, he added, "Besides, I have played villains since my debut, and this "Heavenly Sword" is no exception, so the audience will not feel deceived - what do you think I have to be afraid of?"
After saying that, Xu Kun picked up a plate of snacks and lay back on the sofa, his eyes shifting from Cai Yinong to the plasma TV.
Cai Yinong was caught off guard.
She also had information about people helping her hometown sell vegetables and actively fighting the epidemic, but she specifically picked out the bad aspects in order to make Xu Kun panic.
But I didn't get to know Xu Kun's family situation in such a hurry.
Originally, Xu Kun's situation could be labeled as a prodigal son, but now with the trauma of his childhood, this label is even more irrefutable. Even his experience can be used as an inspirational example.
Cai Yinong felt it was a very difficult situation, but because she coveted Xu Kun's connections and reputation in the Beijing circle, as well as his relationship with Ge You's family, she was unwilling to give up.
After thinking it over, I finally decided to give it another try.
So Cai Yinong said coldly: "Even if this is the case, if public opinion..."
"Shh~"
However, Xu Kun made a gesture for silence, then raised his hand and pointed at the TV on the wall. It turned out that the Best New Actor Award, which was the appetizer, was about to be presented.
Cai Yinong was choked for a moment, but seeing that Xu Kun was concentrating, she didn't say anything for the time being.
"The nominees for the Best New Actor of the 40th Golden Horse Awards are: Zhang Jie from Missing, Lin Yichen from Love in the Ocean, Wang Baoqiang from Blind Shaft, and Zheng Zhiyun from Run, Child!"
As the host introduced the show in a deliberately drawn-out voice, highlights from four dramas and four people flashed on the big screen behind him.
Baoqiang looked the most rustic and naive one, but he was the one who won in the end.
After the host announced that the winner was Bao Qiang, Xu Kun also clapped along with the audience. This attitude of not caring about others made Cai Yinong's face even colder. Suddenly, she heard someone clapping behind her. When she turned around, she saw that it was Hu Ge.
Hu Ge was also affected by the atmosphere. When his boss looked at him with murderous eyes, he immediately shrank his neck and acted like a coward.
At this time, Baoqiang, dressed in black, came to the stage, grinning with a nervous look on his face, and his body kept shaking.
"I am very, very excited to receive the award. I am very grateful to all the judges of the Golden Horse Awards, to Director Li Yang for his training, and to my 'Second Uncle' Li Yixiang."
Having said this incoherently, he took a deep breath and said loudly: "The person I should thank the most is my elder brother Xu Kun. Brother Kun is my benefactor in this life and the best person in the world!
If it weren't for him, I would have gone back to my hometown to farm long ago, and there would be no way I would have survived until today!
And although he started acting later than me, his role as Tang Chaoyang in Blind Well was much better than mine. This award should have been given to Brother Kun!"
No one knows how the audience reacted after hearing this special thanks, but Xu Kun and Cai Yinong in the private room had their own feelings.
"This boy!"
Xu Kun felt warm inside. He first made friends with Bao Qiang because he hoped that Bao Qiang would become famous in the future.
However, later on, Bao Qiang was willing to give up the leading role he had always dreamed of in front of Li Yang, and wanted to get him to make a movie with him, so he regarded Bao Qiang as a real brother.
After spending the past two years together, their relationship has become even closer.
So even if he is developing better than Baoqiang now, he is confident that he will be even better in the future, and he will still treat Baoqiang as he did at the beginning.
Isn't it natural for the elder brother to take care of the younger brother? If you don't even share the hardships and wealth, and only know how to calculate the gains and losses, what kind of brothers are you? !
Cai Yinong had completely misunderstood.
When she first heard Xu Kun say that he had been planning to clear his past record last year, she was a little skeptical. But when she heard Wang Baoqiang shout "Brother Kun is the best man in the world" at the Golden Horse Awards ceremony, she immediately believed it about 70% of the time.
Given the mainland's current "admiration" for Hong Kong and Taiwan, these words will definitely be spread back to the mainland, which is equivalent to Xu Kun using the Golden Horse Awards to whitewash himself in advance.
This man is really calculating!
It would be good if such a person could be killed in one blow, but if the snake is not killed but instead hurt, it would not be worth it.
Cai Yinong put away the last of his gambling nature and said with a smile: "I am a little abrupt. Since Mr. Xu has already made a plan, then everything will be done according to Mr. Xu's wishes."
But she was still reluctant to leave, so she tempted him with benefits: "I sincerely hope that Mr. Xu can join Tangren. Then all my connections in Hong Kong and the mainland can be used for Mr. Xu!"
Originally, she was only interested in Xu Kun's connections, but now she really likes Xu Kun as a person - as long as his image as a prodigal son is established, it will be enough for him to reap the benefits for seven or eight years!
Xu Kun didn't say anything, but took out a business card from his wallet and placed it on the coffee table.
Cai Yinong looked down and saw what was written on it: Huayi Wang Zhonglei.
Xu Kun didn't mean that he must join Huayi, but it was absolutely impossible for him to give up Huayi and come to Tangren.
Huayi has Ge You's favor to keep them in check. Even if they don't train him to be the future star, at least Xu Kun will not be treated unfairly - even if one or two of his movies fail, he will not be shelved like ordinary newcomers.
And what about the Tang people?
Based on Cai Yinong's empty words, who can guarantee what the future will be like?
