Chapter 236 New Year's Drama [Part ]
[Headache ING, there are two more chapters tonight. 】
Meanwhile, in the apartment's living room.
The coffee table was piled high with beer, champagne, dried and fresh fruits, and various fried foods. Xu Kun sat in the middle of the sofa, with Chen Xuebin on his left and Li Yixiang on his right, forming a horn with Bao Qiang and Wen Zhang on both sides.
Further out, there is Zhu Yawen sitting on a small stool.
Compared to the decentralization of the sister group, the topics on the men's side mainly revolve around "The Boss" which starts airing tonight, and "Lost on Journey" which will be released next.
Of course, the discussion also included the short drama that has suddenly become popular on the Internet recently: "A Murder Case Caused by a Steamed Bun".
This short drama was uploaded to Tudou on the 28th. After a few days of fermentation, it has become popular both online and offline. I heard that it has begun to affect the box office of "The Promise".
Xu Kun finally understood why the two Wangs and Feng Xiaogang had laughed so gloatingly before - it turned out that the naked hatred was between colleagues!
"Can Director Chen tolerate this?"
As the oldest person among the group, Chen Xuebin had just heard about the short play on his computer after watching it from Xu Kun, so he was the most interested in talking about it.
He just laughed and said, "When I went to Beijing and Taiwan a while ago, Director Chen left the table in a rage because the new female host said, 'If the box office is not satisfactory, will it hurt your dignity?' The big-breasted female host was so scared that she turned pale."
Xu Kun took a sip of beer and agreed absentmindedly, "Indeed, the bears of female hosts are generally bigger than those of female actors."
"Who asked you this?"
Chen Xuebin rolled his eyes. He also knew that Xu Kun was under a lot of pressure, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "We have done everything we can. Just keep a calm mind and wait for the results. Besides, you have always had good luck, and this time should be no exception."
"What you said, it seems like I rely entirely on luck..."
Xu Kun was about to retort when his cell phone on the coffee table suddenly rang. Seeing that the caller ID showed it was Wang Zhonglei, he quickly muted the TV and answered the call.
Wang Zhonglei's excited voice immediately came from the receiver: "Kun'er, good news, great news!"
"Boss Wang, what's the good news?"
"Our biggest rival in the Valentine's Day movie, Memoirs of a Geisha, failed to pass the review and will probably be withdrawn!"
Could it be that I am really the son of destiny?
After hanging up the phone, Xu Kun told everyone the news with a strange look on his face. Baoqiang, Wen Zhang and Zhu Yawen were all very excited, but Chen Xuebin and Li Yixiang were somewhat not surprised.
Chen Xuebin commented: "It's normal. Every year, the radio and television stations will find a few blind people to kill chickens to scare the monkeys. Chinese people should not shoot things like Memoirs of a Geisha, let alone want to make money in China after shooting."
Look, it's almost time.
Xu Kun unmuted the sound, and everyone's attention was focused on the TV.
The opening theme song is "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" written by Dao Lang and sung by Alan Tam. The crew only bought the copyright and had Xu Kun sang the cover himself - his voice is okay, but it's not so good when it comes to singing. However, by working on it word by word in the recording studio, he can put together a pretty good product.
The ending song is "Invisible Wings" by Taiwanese singer Angela Chang, which will be released simultaneously [Note: the original song was released on January 2006, 1].

Clubhouse private room.
"Hey, brother! We haven't seen you for a long time. Where are you? Hey, friend, if it's really you, please say hello!"
"What are you doing? Change the channel!"
Jiang Yiyan kicked Jiang Xin and urged, "The show has already started!"
"Why are you in such a hurry? I'm not in a hurry to act."
Jiang Xin changed the channel and asked curiously, "That was the sitcom starring Wang Baoqiang, right? The opening song is quite unique." When the TV screen froze on Beijing Satellite TV, Xu Kun's somewhat vicissitudes of life voice sounded:
"We come from different places. You always feel that being with me is endless and cold fear. I really love you. I am willing to change myself..."
Listening to this song, Qin Lan and Jiang Xin, who are familiar with the plot, commented in unison: "The theme song sung by Brother Kun is really suitable for the occasion. The domineering president falls in love with me, isn't it just a replica of the wolf falling in love with the sheep?"
"Yeah, the lyrics are a true reflection of the TV series."
Liu Shishi on the side did not say anything, but nodded silently. Just the sentence "You always feel that being with me is endless and cold fear" made countless plots revolve in her mind like a revolving lantern.
Hao Lei also commented: "It's just a little bit gloomy and not bright enough - your drama shouldn't be a sad drama, right?"
"It probably doesn't count."
Jiang Xin pondered and said, "The heroine played by Shi Shi has never suffered any hardship. She has always been surrounded by honey. At most, she is struggling and being hypocritical."
"OK OK."
Gan Wei said: "Don't talk, it's about to begin!"
With the last line 'I believe this tenderness will surely move heaven and earth', the TV series officially began.
When the first episode introduced the background and relationships of the characters, everyone was drinking and chattering, and the discussion was quite lively.
But in the second episode, when Meng Hao, played by Xu Kun, began to pursue Lin Yuxin, played by Liu Shishi, vigorously, fewer and fewer people started discussing the plot and acting skills. A strong sour smell spread in the box, making Liu Shishi quite uncomfortable.
By the end of the second episode, the half-drunk Li Xiaolu couldn't help curling her lips and said, "If this bastard was half as devoted as in the TV series - no, one tenth as devoted, I'd have a child by now..."
"cough~"
Huo Siyan interrupted Li Xiaolu and smiled at Liu Shishi, "Shishi's acting is really good. You and Brother Kun are a bit like a pair of bickering lovers. I think you look better on camera than Liu Yifei in this TV series."
Although she was praised, Liu Shishi always felt uneasy.
After calming down, she was about to say something modest, but Jiang Xin said impatiently: "Let's not talk about acting first. Do you think this drama will be popular?!"
Hao Lei commented seriously: "The beginning is not bad. The big boss falls in love with the girlfriend of his brother's best friend. Although the relationship is a bit messy, the sense of dramatic conflict has been created."
Yang Mi followed up with curiosity and asked, "Is that piano really that expensive?"
Xiong Naijin: "Isn't this Meng Hao too overbearing? He said he wanted to pursue her right in front of her boyfriend! If Lin Yuxin agreed, wouldn't that be considered as despising the poor and loving the rich?"
Huo Siyan laughed and said, "It's obvious that Meng Hao has never been in a relationship, so he only knows how to use money to attack others."
Liu Shishi nodded secretly on the side. In the early and middle stages, Meng Hao only knew how to use money to bully people. That kind of method of using power to suppress others would only make people feel disgusted and annoyed - at least that's what she thought.
However, in the middle and late stages, he became very gentle, so gentle that people couldn't help but become addicted to him.
At this time, Li Xiaolu suddenly stood up and said, "I don't care whether it's popular or not. I just want to climb the tower now. Let's go, pay the bills and let the water go!"
Everyone was speechless.
But she was used to acting crazy in the group, so no one took her words seriously except for a few people who knew about it.
Even when everyone was dispersing, Xiong Naijin and Yang Mi still wanted to catch up with Li Xiaolu to find out more about Zhao Baogang's new drama.
Before they could get close to her, Li Xiaolu was carried away by Huo Siyan and Jiang Yiyan.
Looking at the backs of the three people, Xiong Naijin and Yang Mi couldn't help but complain in their hearts, saying that they were talking about sharing resources, but in fact, they still had to distinguish between close and distant relatives?
Only Gan Wei knew that the three of them were probably really going to "climb the tower" together.
