Chapter 151 Interlude
I called Uncle Ge and made an appointment to have dinner at his house in the evening. We can talk in detail then.
Xu Kun drove Jiang Yiyan's QQ back to Beishatan.
Just after parking the car at the entrance of the alley, before Xu Kun could unbuckle his seat belt, Baoqiang came out from the side, opened the car door and got into the passenger seat.
"Brother Kun, don't go back yet, three more came this morning!"
Baoqiang exaggeratedly gave an OK sign and said, "I'm chasing a reporter down the alley to complain!"
Tsk~
It seems that this rental house in North Beach is no longer habitable.
Xu Kun restarted the car with some frustration. He originally thought that reporters were the most annoying things, but he didn't expect that there are always stronger ones among the strong.
When "Tian Jian" was about to end, some media broke the news that the crew of "Tian Jian" was put together bit by bit by Xu Kun with the script, and the 20 million investment was also found by him.
Oh~
This really touched the director and screenwriter's nest.
Every day there are directors and screenwriters who think they are not appreciated for their talents and want to join forces with Xu Kun.
Some begged desperately, some acted hypocritically, some fawned, and some really thought they were rare geniuses and that coming to see Xu Kun was a sign of respect for him.
Although the last type is the most annoying, it is also the easiest to solve. As long as you make it clear that you are not welcome, nine out of ten times they will leave with a cold face.
But the first few types are more troublesome. These people have bigger ambitions than reporters, and are more difficult and persistent - in order to gain attention, they even turn around and chase after reporters.
Yesterday there was even someone running naked with a white sheet covering him.
Written on the sheet were "XX plagiarized my script", but Xu Kun had no idea whether it was true or not. After all, the man had just played the role of Bird Walker for a short time when he was taken away by the police station.
On the way, the two had a brief discussion and decided to find an agency to rent a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment before the new house was renovated - they really couldn't stay in Beishatan anymore.
When it comes to moving away, Baoqiang is quite reluctant. After all, those two rented houses can be said to have witnessed the process of him and Kun Ge from obscurity to fame.
That’s right, Baoqiang is also famous now.
The Inkstone played by him and the Gu Hanyang played by Zhu Yawen provided a lot of jokes in the early and middle stages, and Baoqiang was obviously more talented than Zhu Yawen in this regard.
For example, in the play, when Blood Phoenix met Xiao Ting and the other two for the second time, he invited them to his "home" to spend the night, and said that he was not used to sleeping with women.
Xiao Ting made a joke and said with a double meaning: There is no other way, I can only let my servant 'Yan Tai' live in the same room with Fire Phoenix. Yan Tai served me very well, and I have to try whether he can serve Blood Phoenix well.
At the same time, Inkstone [Baoqiang] was scratching his ears and cheeks in the back, looking shy, ashamed, expectant and scared. He stole half of the show. This was Baoqiang's second famous scene after Da La Wu poked a hole.
The two of them deliberately went to a restaurant two blocks away. When they got off the car, Xu Kun wore sunglasses and a mask, and Baoqiang also wore a pair of wide-rimmed sunglasses.
Even when he arrived at the private room on the second floor, Xu Kun only dared to take off his mask and still wore sunglasses.
But precisely because of this odd behavior, the waiter kept staring at him and Baoqiang when ordering food. As a result, when the food was served, it was the restaurant proprietress who took the order.
When all the dishes were served, the proprietress took out a pen and paper from her apron and said with a smile, "You are the actor who plays Xiao Ting, right? Can you sign an autograph for me?"
Xu Kun was already used to this kind of thing, so at least this time he wasn't asked to show his chest muscles for the photo.
So he took off his sunglasses, took the pen and paper and started signing.
Although he has taken time to practice calligraphy, the progress is not satisfactory, so until now Xu Kun can only trace it stroke by stroke.
"Thank you, thank you. Just write it to Xu Hongjuan!"
The female boss thanked him with a smile on her face, but she couldn't help but criticize him: "Everything about your Xiao Ting is good, except that he is too stubborn. He doesn't want women or immortality, and he only wants to dominate the world. In fact, if you ask me, what's the good of dominating the world..."
The Heavenly Sword in the play is not only extremely powerful, but also contains the elixir of immortality refined by the First Emperor.
But Xiao Ting eventually gave up both the woman and the elixir of immortality, and was determined to complete his goal of ruling the world.
This probably stems from the discrimination and exclusion he suffered when he was young because of his blindness. As the saying goes, extreme inferiority leads to extreme arrogance, so he wants to reach the top step by step to prove that even if he is a blind man, he is still the most powerful person in the world.
"Signed."
Xu Kun handed over his signature and blessing, picked up the chopsticks and signaled the proprietress to leave quickly.
The proprietress looked at the signature, then stared at Xu Kun reluctantly for a while before preparing to leave the room.
At this moment, a little boy of about seven or eight years old suddenly jumped out of the door and shouted at Xu Kun: "Li Xiaoyao is the most handsome and powerful, Xiao Ting is a big bad guy!"
"This kid!"
The proprietress went over and grabbed his arm, hitting him twice with both hands, then turned to Xu Kun and said, "Don't take it seriously, kid. My husband and I both 'support' Xiao Ting. That Li Xiaoyao is too childish." As she spoke, she pulled her son out of the door.
After the door was closed, the little boy could still be heard shouting in full force: "Go to hell, Blood Moon Cult Leader, look at my infinite love!"
Tsk~
If the female boss hadn't glanced down when she said the word "support", Xu Kun would have felt more relieved.
By the way, why does her husband support her?
Oh~
Think carefully.
After this little episode, Xu Kun and Bao Qiang talked about future plans while eating.
Baoqiang was originally a determined award-winner, but after winning the Golden Horse Best Newcomer Award, he began to doubt this thing, so he prefers to continue acting in TV dramas.
While chatting, Xu Kun suddenly received a call from Hao Lei. As soon as the call was connected, Hao Lei asked angrily: "Where are you?"
"what happened?"
Xu Kun was puzzled. He had been busy following the broadcast of "Heavenly Sword" recently and had not contacted her for a while, let alone offended her.
"address!"
Hao Lei's voice was hard and cold, just like the frozen soil of Siberia.
Xu Kun didn't think he was joking, so he told him the address of the restaurant.
After waiting for almost an hour, Hao Lei finally came over. When she entered the room, she held a box of white wine in each hand. Before she even sat down, she slammed it on the table and said, "Baoqiang is here too. It's great. Come have a drink with me!"
While talking, he opened the box as if to vent his anger and took out four bottles of 56-proof Erguotou.
Xu Kun and Bao Qiang looked at each other and asked, "What happened?"
Hao Lei did not answer, but filled the two cups one by one, and then pulled over Xu Kun's unused small porcelain bowl, filled it up, raised it and said, "Come on, drink!"
Without waiting for the two to respond, she gulped it down.
After she finished drinking, she sat down on the chair, moving her throat with an unpleasant look on her face.
"If you don't have this much alcohol tolerance, what are you capable of?"
Xu Kun hurriedly handed the teapot over, but Hao Lei didn't take it at all. Instead, she grabbed the wine and prepared to fill her own glass.
Xu Kun simply covered the bowl with his hand and let the Erguotou spill all over his hand.
He looked directly at Hao Lei and asked again: "What's going on?"
Hao Lei put down the bottle, took a deep breath and said, "I have decided to take on the role in Summer Palace!"
"Huh? You're not..."
"Deng Chao cheated!"
"Uh……"
The two consecutive pieces of news made Xu Kun not know what to say. He had thought that there shouldn't be any "surprises" at the beginning, but now, it has become a shock.
It turned out that at the end of July, Hao Lei suddenly heard a rumor that Deng Chao and the heroine Tian Hairong became a couple on the crew during the filming of "Kang Nanhai, the Flying Boy".
Hao Lei was so angry that she ran to Guangzhou and made a big scene.
"Have you found evidence that Deng Chao cheated on his wife?"
"Is it still necessary to look for it?"
Hao Lei sneered, "I fainted in Guangzhou due to anger, but he didn't even try to help me up. He just kept protecting that vixen - isn't it obvious that he loves the new and hates the old?!"
uh~
In fact, Xu Kun felt that this was not irrefutable evidence, but Hao Lei's next sentence made him give up persuading her:
"I stayed in the hospital in Guangzhou for a few days, and when I came back I signed a contract with Director Lou Ye!"
Tsk~
Once the contract is signed, the breakup between the two is basically a done deal. What else is there to persuade?
Let her get drunk to relieve her sorrow.
