Chapter 170: Helping relatives but not taking care of others
Tsk~
After watching the three people leave, Xu Kun's expression immediately fell. After all, he was taken advantage of by this woman for free. It was really unpleasant.
It seems that Tangren’s investment in LeTV Video Network is almost certain.
But the days are long.
Anyway, according to Xu Kun's vague memory, the heyday of video websites will not come for a few years, and during this period there may be a chance for revenge.
And even if he didn't take action, the Tang people might not be able to hold on to the end.
After comforting himself, Xu Kun felt better and shouted loudly, "Waiter, waiter!"
Now that he was here and the eyesore was gone, he naturally had to eat a hearty meal before returning to the hotel.
But the person who pushed the door open after hearing the sound was not the hotel waiter, but Hu Ge with a smirk on his face.
Xu Kun asked in surprise: "Why are you back again?"
"Then what..."
Hu Ge rubbed his hands and said with a frown, "Boss Cai said I don't need to go back with him, and told me to do what I need to do."
"So you're back?"
"I was taken care of by you, Brother Kun, in the capital before. Now that I'm in the Magic City, I have to show my hospitality as a good host."
Xu Kun stared at him for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, you can order the dishes from your place."
He still had a good impression of Hu Ge.
As for helping Cai Yinong to trick himself out, it can only be said that people have no choice in the workplace - this is also the main reason why Xu Kun is unwilling to join Huayi.
Hugo was overjoyed. He quickly sat down on the chair and pressed the call bell next to him which was decorated like a green plant.
No wonder the waiter didn’t show up just now, it turns out I was too old-fashioned.
Because Xu Kun still had to drive the van back, everyone just ordered a bottle of beer - the drunk driving inspection was not so strict at that time.
Hugo also showed off his skills in front of experts by demonstrating the bottle opening technique he learned from "Conquest".
As they ate and drank, the awkward atmosphere gradually disappeared and the two of them became more and more interested in conversation. However, this time they were not discussing acting, but Cai Yinong who had just left.
"After that episode of 'A Date with Lu Yu' came out, our CEO Cai was furious. He announced at the regular meeting that he would find a new Liu Yifei who would follow Liu Yifei's old path and leave Liu Yifei with nowhere to go."
"Haha~"
Xu Kun said disdainfully: "If Hua Yi said this, I would believe it, but you Tang people? Just a big bearded man is not something you, Mr. Cai, can mess with!"
Although Zhang Da Huzi's Jin Yong martial arts dramas are criticized every time they come out, it is undeniable that they are really popular.
Although Hu Ge also agreed with Xu Kun's statement, he still had to defend him to some extent as he was the boss of his own company.
So he smiled and said, "In fact, our CEO Cai has many good qualities. Last year, Guan Yonghe got married and retired from the entertainment industry, and this year, Sun Li married Mr. Huang Lei. Two generations of the top actresses of the company retired from the entertainment industry one after another. If it were other companies, there would definitely be unhappiness, but our CEO Cai is very generous."
This is indeed the advantage of the Tang people.
But Mr. Xu is not planning to get married early, so this advantage is totally unattractive to him.
After discussing Cai Yinong, Xu Kun took the opportunity to ask about Tangren’s future plans.
"It seems that the company is planning to shoot a series of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio after the Chinese New Year. Since The Legend of Sword and Fairy is a big hit this time, the company has enough money, so they plan to invite a few more popular stars to star in a series each."
At this point, Hu Ge smacked his lips and couldn't help but feel worried: "If I invest in that video website of yours, I don't know if I will have enough money to hire big-name actors."
"Wouldn't it be better if you didn't invite me? Then you would be firmly in the leading position."
"Hehe, even if I'm invited, I'm still the leading actor in the play, playing the most famous Ning Caichen."
Tsk~
The Tang people were really willing to spend money to support him.
This can be considered one of Cai Yinong's advantages, but to outsiders, this kind of protective behavior is a disadvantage.
At this time, Hu Ge suddenly had an idea and said, "Brother Kun, why don't you also star in a segment?"
"Why, let me be your foil?"
"No, no, we don't have any rival scenes. Everyone is the protagonist of their own unit. Besides, you and our Tangren will both be shareholders of the video network in the future. Isn't it good for us to cooperate with each other?"
“Hehe~”…………
When the two left the restaurant together, they were recognized by diners outside. After all, the advertisement of "Double-in-One" Tide laundry detergent is currently on the air.
Many people think this ad is inappropriate, but housewives love it - Xu Kun's breast muscle Hushubao ad has been criticized by more people, but it did not prevent it from being the most circulated ad in the second half of this year.
But it was fortunate that there was no "bullet screen" at that time, otherwise when Xu Kun's new drama was released, the screen would be full of "Always", and the public, who would not care too much about these things, would definitely be greatly affected.
It must be said that people in Hengdian are more indifferent towards celebrities than those in Beijing and Shanghai.
Even though two popular young actors were recognized, there was no crowd surrounding them. Only a few women came forward to ask for autographs, and two big brothers loudly asked whether Xu Kun had ever done a double act.
"Of course I have!"
Xu Kun was carrying a bag of snacks and replied with a smile: "I used to use Double Flying Swallow in the Internet cafe. It is more durable than other brands."
The diners burst into laughter and some even whistled.
Hu Ge was extremely envious of this. He still hadn't adapted to becoming famous overnight and was always nervous when facing his fans. He was not like Xu Kun who was so relaxed.
When the two parted at the hotel entrance, Hu Ge made another invitation.
This kid is actually serious about this.
Xu Kun got into the car speechlessly, rolled down the window and said, "When you can make the decision for Tang Ren, tell me this again."
Then he stepped on the accelerator and sped away.
Xu Kun didn't hear clearly what Hu Ge said, but it seemed like he was saying "there will be such a day".
Haha~
The young man is quite bold.
…………
When Xu Kun was driving the van halfway, he suddenly received a call from Deng Chao.
"Where is it? Call Baoqiang to come out for a drink together!"
"Drink shit."
Xu Kun guessed that he must have returned to Beijing after finishing filming, and said unhappily: "I'm filming in Hengdian - and even if I were in Beijing, I would have to stand on Hao Lei's side!"
"Why, you blame me too?"
Deng Chao was a little dissatisfied and indignant: "You and that Jiang Yiyan, aren't you..."
"We just take what we need, and besides, I don't have a girlfriend!"
Xu Kun said frankly: "And I'm not on Hao Lei's side just because you did something wrong. I always help my relatives and not others!"
Although he and Deng Chao have some friendship, it is just some friendship. But what Sister Lei gives us are all visible and tangible benefits - although Xu doesn't have the courage to touch them.
"Hmm~"
Deng Chao cursed on the other end of the phone and said defensively, "If she hadn't insisted on filming Summer Palace..."
"In fact, she had already refused after you went to Guangzhou."
"How did you know that? Why didn't you tell me if you knew that?!"
"Nonsense, I was the one who sent her to Teacher Pan Hong, and that’s why the matter was suppressed. Later, Hao Lei said she wanted to give you a surprise, but who knew you gave her a surprise in Guangzhou first...why don’t you keep it to yourself and play it quietly, and don’t let anyone know?"
"I, I was also tricked. Someone secretly sent a message to Hao Lei. Later, when she arrived at the crew, she wanted to tear Tian Hairong's face off right away. How could I not stop her? As a result, the more I explained, the worse it got..."
As Deng Chao spoke, he gradually fell silent.
After a long while, he finally said in a hoarse voice, "Maybe we are destined not to be together. Tell her later that I am sorry for her, but she doesn't need to act in Summer Palace just because she is angry - that damn movie will only ruin her!"
On this point, Xu Kun reached a consensus with him.
Unfortunately……
"I will definitely help you get the message across, but she is completely obsessed with it this time. Besides, the filming should have already started by now, so it's too late to turn back."
Lou Ye was probably afraid that Hao Lei would go back on her word, so he started filming even faster than he did for "Zhu Yuanzhang." However, he had already been preparing for two and a half years, so he wasn't in a rush.
