Chapter 178 Test Drive
The Huayi matter is still half a year away, so Xu Kun is not in a hurry to make a decision.
The next morning, he first went to the hospital to visit director Feng Xiaoning, and then went to watch the hit movie "A World Without Thieves" - this movie was released more than ten days ago, but Xu Kun was still busy filming at that time, so he didn't have time to watch it until today.
In fact, Xu Kun also has a cameo in this drama, playing the policeman who took the initiative to talk to Zhang Hanyu after he returned to the "command center".
The story of "A World Without Thieves" is still very exciting. Whether it is the performances of Liu Dehua, Liu Ruoying, Ge You, or the guest appearances of Fan Wei and Feng Yuanzheng, they are all remarkable.
As for Wang Baoqiang...
The character Sha Gen he played was more naive and more rustic than Yuan Fengming, whom he played in "Blind Well".
But being rustic does not mean being down-to-earth.
Yuan Fengming is shy, while Sha Gen is very open-minded. The former can be found in many prototypes in reality, while the latter seems more simple, but is actually floating in the sky.
No matter how naive a migrant worker is, it is impossible for him not to know that he should be careful to look after his belongings on the train - even if he himself does not know, his parents, relatives and friends will surely remind him.
After all, at that time, the only thing that many migrant workers had to have before going out was a pair of boxer shorts with an inner pocket to hold money.
Although this "A World Without Thieves" brought Baoqiang more fame than "Swords of Legends" + "Young Emperor" + "Blind Well" combined.
But this fame is false and superficial. People in the circle look down on this kind of foolish performance. Although people outside the circle have a good impression of the silly Sha Gen, no one will praise Bao Qiang's acting skills.
So after Baoqiang took on the role, he told Xu Kun that he still liked the role Xu Kun found for him more. This was not only because of their brotherhood, but also his true inner thoughts.
Although Baoqiang is a genuine grassroots person, his ideals and goals are never grassroots!
After watching the movie, Xu Kun went to Jiang Shan's house.
In addition to renewing his friendship with wealthy lady Jiang, it was also because Jiang Shan told him a few days ago that a friend of hers was going to sell a 00 Audi A6.
Now Jiang Shan has driven the car back to her home and is waiting for Xu Kun to come over for a test drive.
Xu Kunlong spent a total of three hours testing the car in the bathroom, bedroom, balcony and on the road. Overall, he was quite satisfied.
The total cost of this car was 41 yuan. Now the owner is in urgent need of money, so he only wants 22 yuan plus the handling fee, which means the final price is about 25 yuan.
It has only been driven 3 kilometers in four years and has been well maintained.
Finally, Xu Kun gritted his teeth and asked Jiang Shan to call the car owner to hand over the money and the car.
Although the car owner was in a hurry to use the money, her clothes were not cheap. It was obvious that she was a wealthy lady, probably around 30 years old, with beautiful eyes and a beautiful nose.
"what?"
When the wealthy woman selling cars saw Xu Kun, she took off her sunglasses in surprise and said, "Whisper!"
Then he subconsciously stared at Xu Kun's chest.
Xu Kun was very upset. Although he had anticipated such a situation when he was filming the commercial, this was the first time he encountered it in real life.
Jiang Shan laughed so hard that she fell backwards. It took her a while to recover and she gave a brief introduction to both parties.
According to Jiang Shan, this rich woman also studied acting before graduation, but she found a way to make a living before she graduated, so she never really made her debut.
As for now...
Of course, the "canteen" went bankrupt and the couple parted ways.
After a brief greeting, the rich woman was in no hurry to settle the transaction with Xu Kun. Instead, she pulled Jiang Shan to a corner and whispered with her. As she spoke, she would glance in Xu Kun's direction from time to time.
After a while, Jiang Shan came over with a strange look on her face and said, "She said that if you are willing to leave her with the last good memories in this car, she will be willing to reduce the price by another 10,000 yuan."
Good memories?
Seeing that woman staring at him with seductive eyes, how could Xu Kun not know what she was planning?
His face immediately darkened and he said unhappily, "Who does she think I am? She wants me to obey her for 10,000 yuan? She could have given me this car for free!"
In fact, if the other party didn't mention the money, Xu Kun might have given her some alms because of her beauty and figure - but is this a sign of our kindness? Are you treating me like a duck?
Hearing this, Jiang Shan smiled and said, "Then I'll discuss it with her."
As he spoke, he turned around.
"Don't!"
Xu Kun hurriedly pulled her and said, "There's nothing to discuss. I'll leave the money with you. Please take care of the formalities for me, and I'll come back to get it later." Facing the rich woman's resentful and disappointed gaze, Xu Kun left Jiang Shan's villa. He turned around and went to Lv Liping's house with gifts, both to thank her for helping to introduce the "Zhu Yuanzhang" crew and to thank her for helping to decorate the new house.
What a coincidence, Sun Haiying was not at home.
…………
Two days later.
Xu Kun drove the Audi A6, which had already completed the formalities, and took Li Yixiang to the Feilong Film and Television Base - "Wulin Waijiao" was filmed here, and it has been a month and a half since it started.
From a distance, Baoqiang was seen wearing a brown constable's uniform, standing by the roadside, standing on tiptoe and looking along the highway.
When the Audi A6 stopped beside him, he was still a little confused, until Xu Kun lowered the window, and then Baoqiang's small eyes suddenly narrowed into slits with smile.
"Brother Kun, whose car is this?"
“Of course it’s the car I just bought!”
Xu Kun patted the car body and said in high spirits: "Get in the car, I'll give you a ride!"
"Uh~"
Bao Qiang said awkwardly: "There is no parking space near the crew, let's park nearby."
"Also."
After parking the car nearby, Xu Kun asked Li Yixiang to get out of the car and took a careful look at Baoqiang's appearance.
His silly look in ancient costume makes him more humorous than the original Yan Xiaoliu - as for Yan Xiaoliu's look when he gets angry, anyone who has watched "A Man's Martial Arts" will not worry about this.
"Brother Kun."
Bao Qiang rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly and said, "The director heard that you were coming, and he insisted on asking you to play a cameo role in our crew."
"What role?"
Xu Kun was not surprised at all. After all, one of the main features of "Wulin Waijia" is the various guest roles.
"He is a killer from the underworld with mysophobia, his name is Pinggu Yidianhong."
Hey~
I have an impression of this Xu Kun. He was quite handsome when he first appeared, but he was actually a bit effeminate.
If he had just entered the industry, he would probably reject such a role, but now he is eager to try it, because the more this role is contrary to his own image and mentality, the more it can verify his current acting skills.
Upon hearing Xu Kun agree to make a guest appearance, Bao Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes suddenly widened with a smile. This was one of the memorable points he designed for Yan Xiaoliu - and the original way Yan Xiaoliu expressed emotions was to stare with eyes as big as bells.
"By the way, Brother Kun and Brother Li."
While walking towards the crew, Bao Qiang said to the two of them, "There is a scene that I am unsure about. You must give me some pointers when you have time."
"What play is it?"
Li Yixiang becomes excited when talking about drama.
"It was a temporary change. Originally, my master, Constable Xing, was the representative of the government, but Mr. Fan, who played my master, took on other work, so the director and screenwriter temporarily arranged a scene where Yan Xiaoliu backstabbed my master. From now on, I will have more roles."
"This is a good thing."
Li Yixiang smiled and said, "I heard from Kun'er that this script is good. Maybe you will become famous again when it is broadcast."
"There's good and bad."
Bao Qiang was tangled up in his thoughts: “I always feel that starting from the scene where he backstabs his master, this character has changed a bit - he was originally said to be simple and honest, but after this scene, some of his master’s shortcomings have been mixed in.”
Just as Xu Kun was about to speak, a warm greeting came from the other side: "Hey ~ Sword-wielding hero Xiao Lingyun has come to welcome you. I hope you can forgive me for not welcoming you from afar."
Xu Kun looked in the direction of the voice and saw screenwriter Ning Caishen bowing towards him under the plaque of "Tongfu Inn".
