Chapter 279 New Project and Script Selection
[My eyes still feel uncomfortable, I will finish the rest tomorrow. ]
After the afternoon rehearsal, Xu Kun took a photo with Zhao Liying under the arrangement of the program team, and promised to sign on the photo as a souvenir after it was developed.
However, these photos will be temporarily kept by the program team and will not be returned to Zhao Liying until she leaves the stage.
Zhu Xun took advantage of the opportunity and also took two photos.
The word "蹭" does not refer to the act of taking photos, but describes a specific action.
After taking the photos, Xu Kun even concluded that she was wearing a thickened breast pad, overturning his previous judgment.
Breast pads are such an evil invention!
Speechless all the way.
When I returned to my home on the Fourth Ring Road, I found that in addition to Jiang Yiyan, with whom I had an appointment to discuss the script, Gan Wei and Xiong Naijin were also there.
"what?"
Xu Kun stood at the entrance, waiting for Jiang Yiyan to take out her slippers, then he took off his leather shoes, walked into the living room in slippers, sat on the sofa and asked, "You come to see me at this time, are you going to treat me to a meal?"
"Eat is easy."
Gan Wei said cheerfully, "You can choose any place, as long as you come up with a new variety show for me."
As he spoke, Xiong Naijin attentively poured a cup of tea for Xu Kun. Jiang Yiyan picked it up and shook it, then poured it directly into the tea tray, and then personally refilled Xu Kun's cup.
Xiong Naijin felt a little embarrassed when he saw this. Although it was normal to use the first cup of tea to wash the cup, the cup was obviously clean.
"New variety show?"
Although Xu Kun saw it, he was too lazy to pay attention to the little movements between women. Instead, he asked Gan Wei suspiciously: "Didn't you and Lao Jia plan to shoot the second season of "Seeing Words as Faces" a while ago?"
"The second season has been scheduled on CCTV."
Gan Wei said depressedly: "When we were discussing cooperation, we were so happy that we didn't pay attention to the authorization. As a result, CCTV got the upper hand now.
I wanted to challenge CCTV out of spite, but Jia thought it would be useless to fall out with CCTV, so he decided to take this opportunity to ask them for some resources.
This is also an old tradition of CCTV. Didn’t Chen Xiaoer, the first generation sketch king, fall out with CCTV over copyright issues?
"Then go find CCTV!"
Xu Kun spread his hands and said, "Why are you looking for me? I only own 5% of LeEco's shares. You can't just pick on me and fleece me, right?"
Hearing this, Gan Wei immediately took out a contract from her bag, slapped it on the coffee table and pushed it in front of Xu Kun.
Xu Kun picked it up and flipped through it, and found the latest investment contract of LeTV. In order to make LeTV grow and develop, Jia Yueting was ready to invest another 5000 million.
According to the shareholding ratio, Tangren also needs to inject more than 600 million yuan, and Xu Kun needs to increase capital by 250 million yuan.
But according to this contract, Xu Kun not only does not have to pay the 250 million, but will also obtain another of the shares in the name of "technology investment."
This is roughly equivalent to 4 or 500 million.
Otherwise, it is said that Lao Jia is a good person to get along with.
Xu Kun tapped the contract with his fingers and said angrily, "If I give you advice as soon as you show me the contract, wouldn't that mean I'm greedy for money?"
Gan Wei didn't say anything, just looked at him and smiled.
"Let's do it."
Xu Kun stopped teasing her and went to the study to look through it. He took out a variety show plan that he had written a long time ago and said, "The general framework is here. You can discuss the specific details with Brother Chen. When the time comes, the planning will be done under Brother Chen's name, and I will not be involved."
Gan Wei didn't find it strange.
Lao Jia is generous to his friends, and Xu Kun is just as generous, if not more so.
Chen Xuebin worked tirelessly on TV series and movies, and after working on movies, he went to help Xu Kun negotiate contracts. How could Xu Kun treat him unfairly?
When Gan Wei was looking at the plan, Xiong Naijin also leaned over with hope. Before coming, Gan Wei had promised that if it was suitable, she would be the host, and Gan Wei would be mainly responsible for the backstage. But after reading the plan given by Xu Kun, Xiong Naijin was greatly disappointed.
Because this is a "current affairs news commentary" program, which is the type of long-term broadcast - and Xiong Naijin just wants to take advantage of the popularity of the variety show and has no intention of being a long-term host.
After watching it, Gan Wei was also a little confused: "Brother Kun, this TV station broadcasts the news every day, and most viewers are tired of it. Can we broadcast it online?"
“The key is the sense of humor!”
Seeing that his explanation was not convincing, Xu Kun simply asked Jiang Yiyan to open the notebook and searched the Internet for a random piece of news. The content was that a wealthy man in the south was marrying his daughter, and the gold jewelry he gave as a dowry weighed a total of kilograms.
The accompanying picture shows a girl covered in gold jewelry, looking as exaggerated as a peacock spreading its tail.
After reading it, Gan Wei was even more puzzled: "This news is a bit novel, but where is the sense of humor you mentioned, Brother Kun?"
"Don't be impatient."
Xu Kun signaled her to be patient, and searched for a picture on his notebook. He did not show it to Gan Wei, but pinched his throat and said, "Let's say I am the host of this program now... Um~ cough!"
Clearing his throat, he said in a funny voice, "Now the rich people in the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are really becoming more and more high-profile. Some show off their cars, houses, watches, dowries, and gifts. You can't even count them all!
So are there any places where rich people are particularly low-key and introverted?
In fact, there are such people in Hainan, our treasure island. Even if they drive a Rolls-Royce, the license plate still says Qiong B. "
As he spoke, Xu Kun turned the screen over and showed a photo of a luxury car with the license plate "Qiong BXXXX" on it.
"Uh~"
Gan Wei and Xiong Naijin looked at each other, then asked tentatively: "Brother Kun, should we laugh?"
Xu Kun immediately stood up angrily: "Let's go. This hurts my self-esteem!"
"Just kidding, just kidding."
Gan Wei said hurriedly, "Brother Kun, I roughly understand what you mean. The focus of this program is to deconstruct the news in a humorous way and to make fun of the comments in a humorous way."
"We can also find some news that is inherently bizarre, and then dig deeper into the social reality behind it, so that our program can still appear to have depth."
After analyzing this idea, seeing that it was getting late, the four of them went out to have a quick meal nearby, and then Gan Wei and Xiong Naijin said goodbye and left.
Xu Kun brought Jiang Yiyan back home, and then he asked curiously: "How did Xiong Naijin offend you recently?"
"The rumor that I was arrogant and didn't recognize my old classmates came from their high school class."
"Was it passed down by Xiong Naijin?"
"That's not the case, but she must have known about it a long time ago, but she didn't tell me! Besides, she already has Gan Wei's support, why would she want to fight with us?"
Xu Kun shook his head speechlessly. The ten members of the 'Teddy Sisters' wish they had twelve minds. It was a good thing that they could still play together.
"Let's not talk about that. Where's the script you received recently? Give it to me and I'll take a look at it for you."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yiyan immediately took out a pile of scripts from under the coffee table.
Xu Kun casually counted them and found that there were as many as 27. This shows how popular she became after starring in "My Sassy Girl".
On the contrary, the number of scripts Xu Kun received has not increased but has decreased significantly recently.
This is mainly because he is so famous now, and is well-known for writing and directing his own films. Ordinary crews dare not look for him, and ordinary directors are afraid that they cannot control him.
However, although Jiang Yiyan received many invitations, they were basically all costume dramas, and several of them even imitated "The Princess Weiyoung" in terms of plot and character settings.
In addition, after Xu Kun became famous for his role in "The Boss", he became more certain that the era of fashion dramas was about to arrive, so he looked down on these scripts even more.
Finally, after careful selection, he chose an anti-Japanese war film titled "Wolfsbane".
The script is of decent quality, and the most important thing is that the heroine needs to play a pair of twins with different personalities in the play, which is very helpful in improving Jiang Yiyan's acting skills.
Jiang Yiyan was also decisive and called the crew in front of Xu Kun, and agreed to officially sign the contract three days later. Although this woman had many minor flaws, her trust and reliance on Xu Kun was unmatched by others.
