Chapter 280 Dancing
The next day, when we officially started recording.
The contestants' performances finally got better, at least they completed the process smoothly. The most outstanding ones were those who graduated from professional schools.
But they are not without shortcomings. For example, their performance style is too rigid and stereotyped. Today's performance is just filling in the gaps on the basis of yesterday's, without any innovation.
This is similar to when Xu Kun first entered the industry.
Another outstanding person is Xu Kun’s little fangirl Zhao Liying. However, her outstanding feature is not her talent show, but the fact that she can always reveal her social talent inadvertently.
For example, while others appeared on stage according to the standards of models, twisting their waists and shaking their heads, she changed it to blowing kisses to the audience and the judges - for this, Chen Hong caught her and criticized her, thinking that her behavior was frivolous.
Xu Kun rolled his eyes as he listened, thinking to himself, given how you rose to power, how dare you say that others are frivolous?
In short, the recording of the 25 to 12 round has come to a temporary end.
After the trailer was aired that evening, Zhejiang Satellite TV's hotline was flooded with calls, all asking about Xu Kun. Even when it was revealed that the three major directors would serve as judges for the finals, there was not such a big fuss.
This does not mean that Xu Kun has more influence than his predecessors. It is mainly because his base is composed of young people who are capable of taking action and are more impulsive, so this phenomenon occurs.
But no matter what, Zhejiang Satellite TV has witnessed the fighting power of "Ai Kun" this time. For this reason, the deputy director in charge of variety shows even called Xu Kun specifically to build a relationship with him.
The implicit meaning of the words was that Xu Kun was hinting that in the future, no matter how much money Beijing TV pays, we in Zhejiang can double it.
However, no matter how much the deputy director talked, Xu Kun didn't give him a definite answer.
The connections that Xu has in Beijing and Taiwan cannot be offset by just saying 'double it'. Besides, our brother Kun is the most nostalgic, so how could he abandon his old friends for money?
The main thing is that even if you double it, it won’t be much money.
If you want to make money from a TV series, you still have to rely on the second and third rounds to make money. If an actor wants to make money, the right way is to make a name for himself first and then shoot commercials.
Speaking of shooting commercials, Beijing Mercedes-Benz hesitated for a few days and finally compromised, agreeing that the second commercial would not need to include the slogan "pure German craftsmanship".
不过报酬也因此降了一点，两支广告总共300万+1辆顶配E280——，比徐琨那辆二手A6高一个档次。
The advertising remuneration would not be paid until after the filming was completed and accepted, but the car was delivered to Xu Kun's doorstep the day after the contract was signed.
After all, Xu Kun driving this car in front of the public is equivalent to advertising.
So Xu Kun gave the A6 to Baoqiang as part of the dividends from Lost on Journey - in addition to the car, after the box office exceeded 66 million yuan, Xu Kun also gave him a big red envelope of yuan.
After all the calculations, Baoqiang earned more than 100 million yuan for his role in "Lost on Journey". In the current film industry, he has already become a first-tier star.
However, due to his image problems, Baoqiang's advertising income has not increased and is far from the level of second-tier stars.
On March 3, Yahoo Star Search 31 to Top 25 was broadcast as scheduled, and the ratings more than doubled, especially the impromptu performance by Xu Kun and Chen Hong, which even exceeded the total of the previous three episodes.
The next day, all major entertainment newspapers and magazines reported the incident and praised the two people's rivalry.
But on the Internet, the comments were polarized. Because of Director Chen's lawsuit against "Mantou", netizens' impression of Director Chen plummeted, and naturally they also hated Mrs. Chen.
In addition, she used some unconventional tricks during her performance, but was still outshined by Xu Kun in the end, and the internet was flooded with ridicule.
Some people even modified the video specifically, replacing the stage with a large bed and mosaicing Chen Hong's area below the waist, and titled it "Director Chen's New Work, the New Lu Bu and Diao Chan."
After this spoof video was released on Tudou, it immediately attracted countless hot comments:
[You know what, this Lu Bu is much more powerful than Huang Lei's version. ]
[Among humans, Lu Bu is the best, and among (divine beasts), Diao Chan is the best! ]
[Tianya data post sharing: "On the length of this kneeling, which I have reached", as we all know...]
[Strong request, plus Director Chen carrying a camera! ]
[The one holding the camera is Zhang Yimou, Director Chen is the action technical director~]
Director Chen, who was recently asked by his doctor to quit surfing the Internet due to high blood pressure, did not see these comments, but Chen Hong read them all and was so angry that she was fuming.
She sent a lawyer's letter to Tudou that same day, which scared Tudou so much that it deleted the video immediately.
But the news had already spread, and screenshots were posted everywhere, making it impossible to control it.
In anger, Chen Hong turned her attention to Xu Kun and the contestants in Feng Xiaogang's group, and found fault with them during the rehearsal for the 12-to-6 competition.
Xu Kun did not indulge her this time. The two of them argued several times until they were red in the face, and director Yu Min almost became a professional peacemaker.
During the lunch break, Xu Kun specifically asked Zhu Yawen to buy fifty bags of mineral water and put them at the entrance of the studio for the Aikuns to use. After settling down, the Aikuns are not as crazy as they were at the beginning, but when they heard that Xu Kun was recording a program here, two or three hundred people still gathered spontaneously.
Many people hope to meet Xu Kun and get his autograph.
But Xu Kun didn't dare to meet these requests. It wasn't because he wanted to show off now that he was famous, but mainly because if he really did so, there would be thousands of people gathered outside the door by the afternoon.
After half an hour.
Zhu Yawen returned to the studio, with a familiar-looking woman by his side.
Xu Kun took a closer look and found that this was Brother Ji’s mother.
I think her name was Xu Jing.
"Brother Kun~!"
Xu Jing couldn't hide her excitement and moved closer to Xu Kun: "I watched your rivalry with Teacher Chen Hong, you acted really well! Those contestants are far inferior to you!"
"Uh~ hello."
Xu Kun replied perfunctorily, then turned to Zhu Yawen and asked, "Why did you bring Ms. Xu back with you?"
Zhu Yawen saw that Xu Kun had a strange expression, so he explained carefully, "This reporter Xu said that she knew you, and she even produced a signed photo of your blessing to her son as evidence, so..."
I didn't expect that the blessing I casually wrote for her would be used by her as a stepping stone.
Xu Kun turned to Xu Jing and said seriously, "I'm sorry, our program is filmed in a closed format and we are not accepting any external interviews for the time being, so..."
“I’m not here for an interview!”
Xu Jing said anxiously: "I'm here to ask Brother Kun to give me a chance. Didn't you say that I'm good-looking? As long as you give me a chance, I will definitely not let you down!"
"This one……"
Xu Kun was speechless. He was just complimenting her casually at the time, but he didn't expect the woman to take it seriously.
Besides, when did I ever expect anything from her?
"I have many talents, more than those contestants!"
As Xu Jing spoke, she started dancing without caring about anything else. Because her high heels were in the way, she kicked them off and swept them to the door. Then, she twisted her waist and hips, posed coquettishly in front of Xu Kun, and even made her own music while dancing happily.
Not to mention, Xu Jing is only twenty-six or twenty-seven years old now. She still looks much more pleasing to the eye than when she danced awkwardly in front of Cai Xukun's teammates in "Idol Producer" 12 years later.
Those two long legs in black stockings are particularly eye-catching.
But facing her sudden awkward dance, Xu Kun and Zhu Yawen still felt speechless. Xu Kun was about to ask her to stop when the door was suddenly pushed open.
Chen Hong rushed in with a stern look on her face. She originally wanted to ask Xu Kun why he was so noisy and disturbed her rest. But after entering the room, she saw Xu Jing who was dancing awkwardly.
Chen Hong was stunned at first, then she put on a disdainful expression and said, "Humph, you brought the contestants to the locker room to do a striptease in the middle of the day. You are quite competent as a judge."
"no……"
Xu Kun was speechless and said, "Which eye of yours saw that she was doing a striptease?"
Chen Hong snorted and kicked the pair of high heels with her toes at the feet of Xu Jing who had stopped dancing.
Does taking off shoes count?!
Xu Kun was speechless and was about to retort, but unexpectedly Xu Jing was overwhelmed by Chen Hong's power and put on her shoes in a panic. As a result, she accidentally sprained her ankle, staggered back two steps, and fell into his arms in embarrassment.
Even though Xu Kun quickly managed to hold her up, half of Xu Jing's body was still leaning on his thigh.
"Haha~"
Chen Hong sneered twice with disdain, then closed the door and left.
Got~
This needs no explanation!
