Chapter 253 Enemies
evening.
After declining Lao Jia's invitation, Xu Kun got in the car and called Liu Haibo: "Where are you? I'll pick you up."
Because Liu Haibo failed to balance the dispute between Lu Xing and Su Youpeng, "The Princess Weiyoung" was ultimately postponed for a month, and its release was two months later than the original time and space.
Fortunately, it will finally be broadcast on Zhejiang Satellite TV today.
When Jiang Yiyan was preparing to imitate the premiere of "Boss", she called on all the sisters to go out for a meal and watch the show together.
Xu Kun was alone, so he decided to make an appointment with Liu Haibo to have a meal and watch TV series at his home.
"I'm at the China Film Academy."
"China Film?"
Xu Kun was surprised and asked, "The TV series is about to start airing, why are you going to the China Film Academy?"
"I heard that... Well, it's hard to explain over the phone. I'll tell you when I get to your house."
It seemed that there was someone else on Liu Haibo's phone and he hung up without saying anything more.
When Xu Kun drove to China Film Group, he saw Liu Haibo chatting with a man with a big head and thick neck on the side of the road, so he lowered the window and honked the horn twice.
Liu Haibo looked back and found that Xu Kun had arrived. He quickly said goodbye to the man and walked quickly towards him.
The man seemed to recognize Xu Kun and clasped his fists towards him in a very chivalrous manner.
Xu Kun also leaned out of the car window and returned the greeting.
Liu Haibo walked around to the passenger seat and got in the car. While fastening his seat belt, he asked, "Is this Lao Chen's Bora? Why don't you drive your Audi?"
"If I were to drive that Audi to pick you up, I'd probably be blocked on the road." Xu Kun said, raising his chin towards the man on the side of the road: "Who is that?"
"Ning Hao is also a director. Like you, he just made a comedy movie. He came to the China Film Academy for a preview today."
While Liu Haibo was introducing, he patted the speaker in the middle of the steering wheel, then gestured to Ning Hao through Xu Kun.
As Xu Kun started the car, he asked curiously, "A preview screening is being held on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. This person is highly regarded by China Film Group."
"Of course not. This is the general that Mr. Han San personally appointed."
"Then why is he standing outside?"
"Uh~"
Liu Haibo said speechlessly: "He was too nervous when he came, and the edited sample was left at home. He is waiting for someone to deliver it to him."
"..."
There really are all kinds of people here.
However, Xu Kun seemed to have heard of the name Ning Hao before. He should be a famous director in later generations.
On the side of the road.
As soon as the Baolai drove away, a man holding a shoulder bag in his arms ran to Ning Hao out of breath and complained to him: "I say, are you still capable? You came to the preview and left the sample at home, and you still made me run... What are you looking at?"
"An enemy."
Ning Hao turned around and saw the embarrassed look on the man. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother Bo, why do you look like a salesman in Zhongnanguancun?"
"What the hell!"
Huang Bo said angrily: "I am holding it because I am afraid that your sample will be damaged, right?"
As he said this, he slapped Ning Hao's hand that was reaching for the travel bag, pointed at Ning Hao's nose and said, "I'm telling you, you can't be unfair to Xiao Xing - you've already messed with your enemy before he's even famous!"
"I'm talking about my arch-enemy - Xu Kun, who's been very popular recently."
"The one who plays the overbearing CEO?"
"It's the guy who made Lost on Journey. His movie will premiere in a few days. Why don't we find a way to join in the fun and learn from him how he did it?"
Huang Bo stuffed the travel bag into Ning Hao's hand and said, "Then go find Zhu Bajie. He should be able to get tickets for the premiere."
"Didn't you brag last time that his woman was your old classmate?"
"It's true that Jiang Yiyan is my old classmate, but I never said I knew her!"
…………
the other side.
As Xu Kun drove home, he asked curiously, "By the way, why did you come to China Film Academy?"
"I heard that China Film Group has a plan to support young directors, so I wanted to try my luck."
"You want to make a movie?"
Xu Kun glanced at Liu Haibo and said, "Why, are you jealous of your buddy's success?"
"A little bit."
Liu Haibo put his arms behind his head and sighed, "I have seen through it. If young directors want to gain recognition, they still have to make movies that win box office or awards. Otherwise, others will praise you but they don't really take you seriously in their hearts."
This is obviously a 'sad' take on "My Sassy Girl".
Lu Xing and Su Youpeng were having a quarrel, and Liu Haibo couldn't afford to offend either side. Being caught in the middle, he had to endure a lot of humiliation.
As for the results of his trip to China Film, you can tell the answer by looking at his face now. Xu Kun freed up a hand, patted Liu Haibo on the shoulder, and comforted him: "If "The Princess Weiyoung" becomes popular, no one will dare to mess with you in the next movie."
"I hope so."
Liu Haibo didn't really want to discuss "The Princess Weiyoung", so he changed the subject and said, "If your "Lost on Journey" is a big hit, what are you going to do to commemorate it?"
"What can we do to commemorate this?"
When Liu Haibo asked this, it was obvious that he was not referring to the kind of "commemoration" that involves eating and drinking, but apart from eating and drinking, Xu Kun had really not thought of any other way to celebrate.
"Ning Hao just told me that if the movie he shot becomes popular, he will buy the thickest gold chain to remind himself that he is an ordinary person and must not get carried away."
This sounds interesting.
Although Xu Kun doesn't think he will become arrogant, it's always good to remind himself to be prepared.
After thinking for a while, Xu Kun said, "If the movie box office exceeds 6000 million, I will go to a nursing home or orphanage to dance the lion dance for three days, and add one day for every 1000 million that passes."
Liu Haibo sucked his teeth when he heard this: "You are quite bold. Director Feng's Cell Phone only sold 5600 million two years ago. How can you say 6000 million?"
"You still have to have dreams. What if they come true? Besides, the market is different now. Didn't A World Without Thieves break 100 million?"
The two of them played with Mengzi all the way and arrived at Xu Kun's home on the Fourth Ring Road.
Seeing Xu Kun take out sunglasses, a hat, and a mask, and skillfully put them on his face, Liu Haibo couldn't help but sigh in amazement: "How come a big star like you is like a rat crossing the street?"
Xu Kun ignored him. After getting out of the car, he suddenly remembered something and asked casually, "By the way, what's the name of the movie that Ning Hao shot?"
“It seems to be called ‘Big Diamond’.”
"The Big Diamond?"
Xu Kun thought about it carefully, but had no impression of it at all. Maybe the drama was a flop, or it just didn't become popular enough.
When he got upstairs, Xu Kun opened the door directly with his key, and heard the sound of a woman laughing from inside the room.
Liu Haibo curiously peeked inside and saw Huo Siyan and Qin Lan sitting on the sofa looking through photos.
"I'm home."
Seeing Xu Kun leading Liu Haibo in, the two of them hurriedly stood up to greet them.
"Ah."
Xu Kun casually threw the key on the coffee table and pointed at Liu Haibo: "This is Liu Haibo, Brother Liu."
"Hello, Brother Liu."
They both greeted each other politely, and the thin bangs made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Huo Siyan pointed to the dining room and said, "The food is ready, eat it while it's hot."
Qin Lan quietly put away the photos on the coffee table.
"Don't do it, I'll clean it up myself later."
As Xu Kun spoke, he opened the refrigerator and said to Liu Haibo, "Brother Liu, let me show you something rare."
Then he took a small golden bowl from the refrigerator.
Liu Haibo was surprised and asked, "Is this pure gold?"
"of course."
Xu Kun smiled and said, “It was given to me by the carrot juice factory in my hometown. After “Boss” became popular, their carrot juice was sold out.”
"Then you can't put it in the refrigerator openly!"
"I don't have a safe, so it's safer to put it in the refrigerator."
As they were talking, Huo Siyan and Qin Lan had already packed their belongings and said to Liu Haibo, "Brother Liu, we still have to go to the party, so we won't disturb you two from reminiscing about the past."
"Uh, oh."
Liu Haibo watched the two of them leave the door, then turned around and saw Xu Kun eating a drunken shrimp as if nothing had happened. He couldn't help but pull him and asked, "Aren't you going to see them off?"
"Why send it? Maybe it will come back in the evening."
Xu Kun swallowed the shrimp meat and added, "But maybe it's someone else who came back."
"You are such a beast!"
Liu Haibo is really envious and jealous. In 06, Huo Siyan and Qin Lan were both at their peak in terms of looks and figures. So these two people are willing to cook for Xu Kun at home...
"You must be envious, this is the treatment that big stars receive."
Xu Kun sat directly at the dining table and said, "Come on, come on, sit down and eat while it's hot."
As he spoke, he first filled the golden bowl with beer, then poured a glass for Liu Haibo and handed it to him, saying: "This is called drinking from a golden cup~"
"I really want to stab you to death!"
Liu Haibo was so jealous that his cell wall separated. He took the wine glass and was about to drink it, but suddenly stopped: "No, if they come back, what should I do at night?"
"Baoqiang's house is across the street. The key is hanging in my hallway."
