Chapter 191 The Shortest Finishing
【There will be another update in the evening. 】
Since becoming the leading actor, "New Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" should be the shortest-lived drama that Xu Kun has participated in.
The filming started on February 2th and was completed on March 16th, taking less than a month in total.
But this is normal. After all, "New Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" has only 36 episodes in total, but it is divided into 6 units, which means that each unit has only 6 episodes.
The fact that the six-episode script took so long to shoot can be considered a pursuit of excellence.
However, after the filming, Xu Kun waited for Jiang Yiyan for another two days before returning to Beijing with her.
They came and left in a hurry. When Xu Kun recalled on the plane, what impressed him most, apart from teaching Zhou Yumin a lesson and scoring twice with Cai Yinong, was Shu Chang's seven-year-old cousin.
This little girl is very clever and not afraid of people at all.
Just as I was thinking about something, Jiang Yiyan happily handed me a gossip magazine.
Xu Kun took it and took a look. It turned out to be a report about the love triangle in "New Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". The report described Yang Mi as having unrequited love and ultimately losing the competition with Jiang Yiyan.
However, these descriptions only take up one-third of the article. The remaining two-thirds mainly review Xu Kun’s scandals in the past two years and explore why a professional villain could win the favor of beauties such as Shuang Feiyan, Ning Jing, and Yang Mi.
[What exactly are Xu Kun's strengths? ]
The word "long" is deliberately put in quotation marks, which is obviously hinting at something.
Xu Kun threw the magazine back and asked Jiang Yiyan, "What are your plans next?"
Jiang Yiyan said as a matter of course: "I don't have any plans, Brother Kun, you have the final say."
This is both her advantage and her disadvantage.
Someone like Huo Siyan has her own ideas and would like to keep the resources in her own hands, or at least have more channels. She is unwilling to become path-dependent on Xu Kun.
"Then when we get back, let's go meet Director Liu Haibo first. He recently took on a drama, and the heroine's character is a bit similar to Huang Xiang, both of them are quirky."
"real?!"
Jiang Yiyan was overjoyed and didn't care if there was anyone around. She just pounced on it and started biting it.
After finishing, she still felt unsatisfied, so she whispered in Xu Kun's ear with a seductive look: "How about we go to the bathroom for a while?"
"You should learn less from Li Dazui in the future."
Xu Kun pushed her back to her seat. If he had just boarded the plane, he might have agreed, but there was only half an hour left before landing. What could he do with that?
Speaking of Big Mouth Elk, the two have basically cut off contact recently because Li Xiaolu and Li Chen have started living together and have plans to get married.
Although Li Xiaolu doesn't care about cheating before marriage, she doesn't even care about cheating after marriage.
But Xu Kun and Li Chen did not have such a deep hatred, and Li Chen did not commit the same crime as Sun Haiying.
So Xu Kun took the initiative to reduce the contact between the two. Li Xiaolu even called him to question him at first, but as time went on, the relationship faded.
Before getting off the plane, Jiang Yiyan whispered something with a stewardess, but no one knew what they were talking about.
When we got off the car, Li Yixiang was already waiting at the door in the Audi A6. Anyway, Li Yixiang and Liu Haibo were quite familiar with each other, so the three of them simply went to the door together.
Liu Haibo is now in high spirits. The performance of "The Four Famous Detectives Meet in Beijing" is quite good, and "The Heroes of Heavenly Sword" is even more popular. Therefore, this young director born in 75 has become a hot new upstart. Several film and television companies are scrambling to sign contracts with him. This new drama was actively sought out by the investors in order to win him over.
After Liu Haibo asked the three to sit down, he handed a script to Jiang Yiyan and said to Xu Kun, "It's a pity that the investor chose Su Youpeng as the male lead, otherwise we could work together again."
"There will always be a chance in the future. Besides, we are all in Beijing. Can we meet each other anytime we want?"
Xu Kun doesn't care about this. Rather than starring in a costume drama, he currently hopes to find a direction for transformation.
"correct."
Liu Haibo suddenly remembered something, so he took out a notebook from the study, opened a novel website and said, "Mr. Jia said a while ago that you wanted to search for scripts or stories about crime, preferably with a larger scale. Isn't this a coincidence? Recently, I saw a
The matter of self-made web dramas cannot be disclosed to the public, so when Jia Yueting collected scripts and stories, he did so under the name of Xu Kun.
"Are you still reading novels online?"
Xu Kun looked at the screen with some curiosity, and saw the title of the novel was clearly written as "How to Become a Villain": "Isn't this too straightforward?"
"It's just a gimmick. Besides, it's also a tribute to How the Steel Was Tempered."
Liu Haibo was also a little embarrassed. As a new director, he was naturally classified as a cultural person, and most cultural people these days were extremely disdainful of online novels. If he had not had a good relationship with Xu Kun, he would not have said this.
Xu Kun first clicked on the first chapter and read it, and found that this was a story about a bullied teenager who fought violence with violence in anger.
This was not the time to read a novel. After browsing the first chapter, Xu Kun returned to the table of contents and scrolled directly to the bottom. He found that there were only more than a hundred chapters, and it was obviously not finished yet.
Facing Xu Kun's doubts, Liu Haibo waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "If you want to make a film, just cut out the first part. The book becomes more and more exaggerated towards the end, and is not as realistic and interesting as the beginning. All online novels are like this nowadays. Once the number of words increases, they rush to destroy Japan and slaughter the United States, without caring whether the plot is reasonable or not."
Xu Kun didn't care too much about it. It wasn't like he was going to shoot a web drama right away anyway, so he might as well give it a try. Even if the novel as a whole was not suitable, he could still pick out some good excerpts from it.
Speaking of...
Can I also spread the word about my transformation like this?
Xu Kun originally thought about asking Liu Heng for help. As the chairman of the Writers Association, he would definitely be able to help him find a suitable script.
But last time when making "Heroes of Heavenly Sword", Liu Heng had already been asked for help. Xu Kun always felt that it was not appropriate to ask for help again this time.
It would be better to spread the word first and see if you can find a suitable crew or script through your own connections.
In the evening, the four of them went to a restaurant together, which was Liu Haibo's way of welcoming Xu Kun and Jiang Yiyan. It was not until then that Xu Kun learned the name of the new drama: "The Princess Weiyoung".
While eating and drinking, Jiang Yiyan suddenly received a call. She asked Xu Kun for the key to the A6 and hurried out, not knowing what she was busy with.
After eating and drinking, Jiang Yiyan drove Xu Kun back to the apartment building and urged him to take a shower.
There was no outsider at home, and Xu Kun was not used to locking the door when taking a shower. As a result, Jiang Yiyan, dressed as a stewardess, walked in when he was halfway through his shower.
Thinking of Jiang Yiyan's little action before getting off the plane, Xu Kun was not very surprised by the scene in front of him. He just smiled and asked, "What's going on today?"
Jiang Yiyan walked up to Xu Kun with a cat-like gait, turned on the shower head and aimed it at her fair neck, first making the front and back of her neck reveal the flesh.
Then she pushed Xu Kun to sit on the toilet and made up a story in all seriousness: "We just received a notification from the control tower that you are suspected of carrying controlled weapons, so I need to conduct a comprehensive search of you. You'd better cooperate honestly!"
