Chapter 195 Diamond Bachelor
Although the script is important, it is more important to drink with my brother and drown my sorrows.
That afternoon, Xu Kun and Li Yixiang rushed to Pinggu again and got Baoqiang drunk. When they returned to the city the next day, their sleeves were covered with Baoqiang's snot and tears.
After sobering up for a day at home, Xu Kun packed up his things quickly and rushed to Nanluoguxiang on the third day.
Because he had contacted Wen Zhang in advance to act as a guide, Xu Kun found Tian Youliang's office without any effort after entering the Central Academy of Drama.
Tian Youliang is a teacher at the Central Academy of Drama and also a drama director.
He started teaching at the school in 1991 and has taught three classes. Deng Chao's class of 98 was one of them. Deng Chao was Tian Youliang's favorite and most respected disciple.
Since Tian Youliang had been paying attention to Deng Chao's situation, he was not unfamiliar with Xu Kun. He was just confused about why Xu Kun came to see him.
"Teacher Tian, it's actually like this."
Xu Kun first told me about his recent plan to switch to filming modern dramas, and then said, "After Deng Chao heard the news, he called me and said that you had a script that was very suitable for me."
"That's what he said?"
Tian Youliang frowned slightly, then stood up and walked to the window sill and directly dialed Deng Chao's cell phone.
After a whispered exchange, he sat back in his seat with a sigh and said, "This kid is just too stubborn—no, they are both stubborn and twisted!"
After complaining about Deng Chao and Hao Lei for a while, Tian Youliang finally talked about the script.
"Deng Chao is the most talented student among my students. When we were filming the drama, I told him that if there was a suitable script in the future, I would work with him to film a TV series or a movie.
In the winter of 01, my classmate wrote a novel and showed it to me. I immediately called Deng Chao and told him that I had found a suitable book. I also said to him: Chao, I am waiting for you to grow up and become Meng Hao!
At this point, Tian Youliang couldn't help but sigh again.
Xu Kun originally thought that the filming had not been completed due to lack of funds, but it turned out that there was such a secret behind it.
Deng Chao is really willing to do so!
After sighing for a while, Tian Youliang stood up and said, "Forget it. Your personal image and acting style are indeed more suitable for playing Meng Hao than Deng Chao. Let's go. I'll take you to look at the script."
The two of them walked out of the door one after the other, and saw Wen Zhang squatting in the corridor, bored.
"Hello Teacher Tian!"
When Wen Zhang saw the two men coming out, he quickly stood up and greeted Tian Youliang, then asked Xu Kun, "Did you get it done?"
Xu Kun had told him before that he came to read the script, but now that he had just heard a story about the relationship between a teacher and a student, it was not appropriate to show too much joy, so he just nodded slightly at Wen Zhang.
Wen Zhang also noticed that the atmosphere was a little off, so he lowered his voice and said, "Brother Kun, if there is a good role, you have to think of me."
Then he stepped aside.
Xu Kun nodded slightly at him.
Wen Zhang’s acting skills are pretty good.
Xu Kun's current acting level is similar to Deng Chao's. Deng Chao's acting range is wider, while Xu Kun has more advantages in playing specific roles - and Wen Zhang is now almost a slightly weakened version of Xu Kun. One is suitable for strong roles and the other is suitable for weak roles. They can form a contrast and complement each other.
So if there is a suitable role, Wen Zhang is indeed a good choice.
Tian Youliang came here on a bicycle, and Xu Kun didn't mention his A6. He just borrowed a bicycle by scanning his face, and then rode all the way back home with Tian Youliang.
In the old dormitory building, Tian Youliang took out a novel and a script. The name of the novel was "Pandora of Love", and the name of the script was more down-to-earth, called "The Difficult Love of a Diamond Bachelor".
The script Xu Kun read first:
[The protagonist Meng Hao is a young billionaire who runs a real estate company called Kunpeng. By chance, he fell in love at first sight with Lin Yuxin, a female college student majoring in Chinese. Even though he knew that she was the girlfriend of his younger brother's classmate, he still persevered and blatantly tried to interfere.
But in the face of Meng Hao's fierce financial offensive, Lin Yuxin remained unmoved.
It was not until Lin Yuxin's boyfriend Hao Liang was accidentally burned that Meng Hao used threats and inducements to coerce Lin Yuxin into marrying him on the condition that he would pay for Hao Liang's treatment, and promised to let her go after a few years, allowing Lin Yuxin to reconcile with Hao Liang.
But when Hao Liang learned of Lin Yuxin's actions, his temperament changed drastically and his mind became twisted. He thought that Lin Yuxin was just using him as an excuse and had actually already succumbed to Meng Hao's power and money.
Meng Hao put aside his billionaire airs and took meticulous care of Lin Yuxin, allowing Lin Yuxin's heart to gradually melt under his tenderness and power.
At this time, Hao Liang used sleeping pills to knock Lin Yuxin unconscious, took nude photos of her, and ran to blackmail Meng Hao. However, Meng Hao outwitted him and secretly called Lin Yuxin, exposing everything Hao Liang had done to Lin Yuxin.
Hao Liang eventually lost everything and died in a car accident while in a trance.
Lin Yuxin was heartbroken and prepared to run away. She had a fierce conflict with Meng Hao who tried to stop her, which eventually led to Lin Yuxin's miscarriage.
The two divorced, and Lin Yuxin went to work in a magazine under the pseudonym Lin Nan, and became a well-known female writer.
After constant searching, Meng Hao finally found Lin Yuxin a year later.
The two went through all kinds of misunderstandings, hardships, and the intervention of a third party, but finally got back together.
But after remarrying, Lin Yuxin accidentally discovered that Meng Hao was the mastermind behind Hao Liang's burns.
Meng Hao confessed everything he had done and gave the recording to Lin Yuxin, hoping that she would report the incident after he presided over her brother's wedding.
But when Lin Yuxin took the recording to expose the incident, she discovered that Meng Hao had already surrendered himself to the police station.
In the end, Meng Hao was sentenced to seven years in prison. 】
The domineering president falls in love with me?
After reading the script, these seven words immediately flashed through Xu Kun's mind. Although he had never watched a domineering CEO drama, the literal meaning of this sentence was not difficult to understand, and it was even more appropriate to use it in this script.
In fact, compared with the domineering CEO dramas of later generations, this drama is obviously more in line with the word "dominant".
In addition to his usual style of dealing with people, the protagonist Meng Hao really did everything he could to get Lin Yuxin. Compared with those later male protagonists who were known as domineering CEOs but were as pure as lambs, he was much more worthy of the title.
And this role really suits him, Xu.
He was born with a domineering aura, which would have been impossible to hide if he hadn't spent more than 20 years in hard labor in his previous life.
After successively playing the roles of 'Prince Jian Jidu', 'Blood Moon Cult Leader' and 'Zhu Yuanzhang', he has also developed the aura of a 'general'.
Zhu Yuanzhang, in particular, can be described as the most domineering emperor among emperors and the emperor among domineering emperors.
Therefore, Xu Kun was completely familiar with playing Meng Hao and did not encounter any difficulty at all.
But there were two things that made him hesitate a little.
First, Meng Hao is generally a villain, which goes against his original intention of "turning from evil to good".
Secondly, the evaluation of "dominant president" in later generations does not seem to be very good, so don't end up not getting any mutton but getting yourself into trouble.
But then he changed his mind and thought that the fact that the term "dominant president" was left behind in later generations showed that this type of drama was very popular - and there were no similar dramas on the market yet. As the first person to try it out, he should be able to make a lot of money.
Thinking of this, Xu Kun finally made up his mind to make this movie.
[Note: The timeline of this chapter is the end of March 05, and the originator of the domineering CEO in the Chinese-speaking circle that can be found on the Internet is "The Prince Who Turns into a Frog" which was broadcast in Taiwan in June 3. By the time this drama entered the mainland, it was already the summer season of 05.]
