Chapter 144 Love is stronger than gold
Of course, Xu Kun had already seen that Jia Yueting wanted to tie himself more closely to him, otherwise why would he lend him his "famous instrument" to bully others?
But Xu Kun, who knew well what would happen to Jia Yueting in the future, how could he dare to be tied to Jia Yueting's company?
We can be friends, help each other, or just work together to grow bigger and stronger.
After leaving LeTV Network Public Opinion Co., Ltd., Xu Kun first sent the car back to the hospital, and then took a taxi back to the rental house.
He first took a thin script from Boss Lin, then went around to the alley at the back, only to see that the gate was guarded by an iron guard and a sighing woman was standing beside it.
"I thought you wouldn't come."
Xu Kun opened the door and let Hao Lei in. He asked curiously, "Deng Chao is not here? He clearly said that he would leave in the evening. How come he is gone now?"
"I sent him a text message when I came here. Maybe he wanted to avoid me." Hao Lei walked into the yard, leaned against the persimmon tree with a depressed look, looked up at the sparse branches and leaves and said, "Do you think I should shoot this movie?"
"I think it's definitely not right to take the photo."
Xu Kun gave a decisive answer, then spread his hands and said, "But you don't even listen to Deng Chao, so how can you listen to me?"
Hao Lei rubbed her hair irritably and asked again: "Do you have a cigarette?"
Xu Kun silently took out a soft-pack premium Zhongnanhai cigarette, cracked one out and handed it to Hao Lei, then lit it for her with a lighter.
Hao Lei took a deep breath, then choked and bent over and coughed for a long time, but after coughing she still took a deep breath, then bent over and coughed again.
Xu Kun couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he snatched it away, threw it on the ground and stomped it out, saying speechlessly: "Why did you bother with this? It's just a movie, so what does it matter if it wins an award? Look at Bao Qiang, a grassroots actor who won the Golden Horse Best Newcomer Award, who cares?"
“Now it’s not a question of whether to award or not.”
Hao Lei wiped the spit from the corner of her mouth and said seriously: "When I refused to play in "Summer Palace" that year, the reason I gave was that I didn't want to lose my love because of it. However, Director Lou Ye determined that I was the only choice for the heroine Yu Hong and waited for me for three years."
"Then just keep refusing."
Xu Kun still holds the same view: "It's just a movie, and it's a movie that will most likely not pass the censorship. Since you don't care whether it can win an award, what's the point of filming it? Is this some new incurable disease? If Director Lou Ye doesn't film it, he will die."
"I'm talking to you seriously!"
Hao Lei rolled her eyes at Xu Kun and said, "I've been thinking lately, shouldn't love be stronger than gold? If it breaks down just because of something like this, is it still love?"
Xu Kun: “…”
No wonder Lou Ye chose her. The word "literary youth" is almost tattooed on her face.
"Didn't you read Brother Li's 'Confession'? He originally thought that love was stronger than gold, and it was nothing for the actress to do her job well. But in the end..."
"Then do you think that even if this didn't happen, Brother Li and Zeng Lai could have stayed together until the end?" Hao Lei interrupted Xu Kun and asked the core question.
"Uh~"
Xu Kun was stuck for a moment, and after a while he scratched his head like Bao Qiang and said, "So, you have decided to act in the Summer Palace?"
Hao Lei shook her head slowly: "I want to try, but I dare not make a decision."
"Then you are talking nonsense to me!"
Xu Kun was speechless. Although he could see that Hao Lei was confused and in urgent need of guidance, he didn't know how to persuade her.
He does have some experience in persuading people to go into business.
After a long silence, seeing Hao Lei's eyes getting redder and redder, Xu Kun lit a cigarette for himself and asked, "Are you free tomorrow?"
"what?"
Hao Lei raised her head and held back the tears that were about to fall, but her nasal tone could not be concealed at all. "Then let's go visit Teacher Pan Hong tomorrow afternoon and ask her to help you solve your doubts."
This was not a trip made just for Hao Lei, but a trip that had been planned long ago. Xu Kun planned to spend a week visiting and thanking his relatives who had guest-starred in "Heavenly Sword and Fairy".
Let’s start with Pan Hong and Pu Cunxi.
Hao Lei was tangled up and asked, "Isn't it okay in the morning?"
Xu Kun raised the script in his hand and said, "I'm going to guest star in Teacher Song Xinxin's crew this morning."
This was finalized when I called Song Xinxin this morning.
"Well, it happens that I haven't seen Teacher Pan Hong for a while, so I might as well buy some food and bring it over. I'll show you my cooking skills."
"Then please drive over to pick me up when the time comes. Otherwise, it will be too much trouble to take a taxi with all the stuff."
After discussing the itinerary, Xu Kun saw Hao Lei off, and then began to look through the simple two-page script.
The title of the drama is "A Family with Children". This Xu Kun has also been heard of in later generations and should be quite famous.
He was going to guest-star as a physical education teacher, who went to explain the actual situation of the little girl Xia Xue's injury. He didn't have much room to play, and it was basically a pure friendly guest appearance [see episode 13 "Borrowing Shoes Incident" for details].
After confirming that his part was not difficult, Xu Kun made some simple preparations and went to the hospital again to deliver meals to Li Xiaolu and Huo Siyan.
Although the big-mouthed elk brought this upon himself, physically speaking, he was more responsible, so he had to show some respect for himself.
However, he did not eat in the hospital, but had barbecue with Jia Yueting.
According to Jia Yueting, when Cai Yinong came out of the bathroom and found that there was a new person in the office, her expression was so colorful that it was enough to make a big drama.
However, this woman is also very flexible. She has not even called Xu Kun to question him yet, and it seems that she has tacitly agreed to the "explanation".
During the subsequent negotiations, the two sides fought for an entire afternoon, and finally Jia Yueting got what he wanted, but he also made some additional promises, such as helping Tangren promote himself on the Internet.
However, Jia Yueting did not ask Xu Kun to discuss this matter, but mainly to discuss the specific arrangements for contacting Beijing and Taiwan after the editing of "Heavenly Sword" was completed.
Jia Yueting used to only care about three things: relationships, relationships, and damn relationships.
But now that he has established connections in his hometown in advance, he doesn't care so much about the relationship between Beijing and Taiwan.
As for whether he could reap returns from "Heavenly Sword", he didn't care at all. He even suggested selling the drama to Beijing and Taiwan at a low price. Even if it was a loss, it would at least make the show famous.
But Xu Kun couldn't do that. In addition to the 700 million raised by Jia Yueting, there was also million investment he raised from his hometown.
His life experience has just been exposed recently, and now he needs the full support of his fellow townsmen. He cannot let his hometown suffer any loss.
Xu Kun was somewhat confused about how to strike the right balance, so he decided to take some time to meet Liu Heng - precisely because he had been blocked in Beijing and Taiwan before, Liu Heng knew the internal situation of Beijing and Taiwan very well.
Jia Yueting did not comment on this. For him, being able to connect with his hometown through the "LeTV Network Public Opinion Company" was more than worth the money.
What's more, today he took a big bite of the Tang people.
uh~
From a physical point of view, the Tang people also got a good bite.
