Chapter 304 Not Right
【Evening 2】
Because there was a big brother at the helm, Wang Zhonglei's scheming was considered the least among people of the same level, but he quickly adjusted his mood and started chatting and laughing with Feng Xiaogang and Xu Kun again.
Of course, he wasn't as calm as he appeared to be.
Of course, he and his elder brother had been wary of Xu Kun, but the contract had only been signed for half a month, and Xu Kun had been in South Korea for half of that time. Logically, this wariness should not have been noticed.
Did Feng Xiaogang tell him something, or did he guess it himself?
Wang Zhonglei prefers the former.
But this requires a re-evaluation of the depth of the relationship between Feng Xiaogang and Xu Kun.
The plan to promote Chen Guofu to a prominent position should probably be advanced as much as possible - the triangle is the most stable shape, and although Chen Guofu's current status in Huayi is slightly higher than Xu Kun's, his popularity is far less.
It was almost noon.
Wang Zhonglei arranged to go eat hotpot, and Feng Xiaogang and Xu Kun followed him out of the office.
At this time, there were two more people sitting on the seats outside, one male and one female, both of them were second-tier actors who were not as good as the best but better than the worst.
"Director Feng, Director Xu, President Wang!"
Seeing the three people coming out, the four of them hurriedly stood up to greet them. Chen Shu, who was at the front of the line, was about to say something, but Feng Xiaogang raised his hand and pressed it down: "Let's talk in the afternoon, let's talk in the afternoon."
Chen Shu had no choice but to hold his words back.
After being escorted out of the door by the four people with nods and bows, Xu Kun glanced back and asked Feng Xiaogang, "Uncle Feng, we are still a long way from setting up the team. Why did Chen Shu come to see you?"
"Go ask Director Feng to apologize."
Wang Zhonglei rushed to explain, "She signed the contract a while ago, and she was so happy that she lost control of her mouth. As a result, she was tricked by the reporters and said a few things she shouldn't have said. Director Feng also wanted her to learn a lesson, so he left her alone for two days."
That's what happened.
This situation is not uncommon. Actors are human beings after all, and they are prone to say the wrong things when they are emotional. And those media reporters are eager to create chaos and will find ways to set traps for you.
Speaking of which, Chen Shu became famous last year thanks to the movie "The Counterfeiter" which was not star-studded by Bao Qiang. She is definitely not a first-tier star, but she is also considered a popular young actress outside.
But in front of Feng Xiaogang, she couldn't even apologize.
Xu Kun winked and said, "Uncle Feng, you are not trying to keep the eagle awake, are you?"
Feng Xiaogang glanced at him and asked, "Did she find you?"
"That's not true."
Xu Kun laughed and said, "We just chatted for a while when we entered the room. She insisted on treating me to dinner that evening, so I thought it would be a good idea to have a scene with her at the same time."
"It's time to play against each other."
Wang Zhonglei also grinned: "You are the first assistant director, and it is your responsibility to test the basic skills of the actors. Chen Shu is also from Beijing Dance Academy, and is ten years younger than your Liu Shishi. It's a good opportunity to compare them and see whether Beijing Dance Academy has improved or regressed in the past ten years."
Ever since "The Boss" became a hit, people outside have been wondering what Xu Kun did to Liu Shishi, and Wang Zhonglei apparently has the same idea.
Xu Kun had explained it many times before, but now he was too lazy to explain it any more.
Feng Xiaogang frowned slightly, and after a long pause, he said, "It's okay to rehearse the scenes in advance, but once you get to the crew, you have to be careful about the impact, and don't let Deng Chao get triggered by the past and cause complications."
Did Deng Chao get inspired by the scene and something unexpected happened?
Xu Kun was a little confused at first and didn't understand what Feng Xiaogang meant. Later, he remembered that he and Hao Lei had been rumored to be in a relationship before, and that Deng Chao and Chen Shu were a couple in the play, and then he came to his senses.
It turns out that this is how the scene brought back memories.
"no!"
Xu Kun was too lazy to explain about Liu Shishi's matter, but he didn't want to take the blame for Hao Lei, so he immediately explained: "Uncle Feng, I have never done anything to let my friends down! At the beginning, they..."
"There's no need to explain this."
Wang Zhonglei said mischievously, "They broke up on their own, you didn't instigate it, so you can't be blamed anyway. Besides, this kind of thing is very common in the circle. What's the jargon called... orderly inheritance? Yes, orderly inheritance!"
Then he patted Xu Kun on the shoulder and said, "In short, just try not to provoke Deng Chao in front of him."
What the hell is this orderly inheritance? !
That seems to be the jargon of the antique business, right?!
uh~
But then again, the Zhang Dongya relationship map that was posted online a while ago really has a bit of the flavor of "orderly inheritance". …………
in the afternoon.
Feng Xiaogang still turned Chen Shu down, so Chen Shu turned to Xu Kun more anxiously.
We directly booked a candlelight dinner for couple in the evening, which was not a hint but a clear statement.
However, Xu Kun always insisted on putting on a good show, so while waiting for the food to be served, he asked Chen Shu, who had just put on makeup and was smiling charmingly, "Did you bring the script?"
Chen Shu was stunned when he heard this. Based on the current atmosphere, does it look like they are going to discuss the script?
"It's okay, I have it with me."
Xu Kun spread out the script he brought with him and turned to the part where Guzidi and Sun Guiqin were talking. He briefly memorized his lines and then pushed the script in front of Chen Shu.
Do we really have to act together?
Chen Shu was a little dazed, but at the same time he secretly sighed, no wonder Xu Kun, who was three years younger than him, could make such a big name for himself, his professionalism alone was not something that ordinary people could compare to.
Fortunately, she had also studied the script specifically, so she was naturally familiar with this dialogue.
After thinking for about two minutes, Chen Shu spoke first: "He was studying at the National Normal School in the provincial capital. He left without saying goodbye. My mother-in-law missed her son so much that she fell ill and never got out of bed again..."
Among the actresses Xu Kun knows, Chen Shu is not the best, but her lines and expressions are relatively good. Her voice is a little ethereal and weak, as if she is telling someone else's story, but one can hear a hint of unconcealable sadness.
In theory, there is nothing to complain about in this dialogue, and the minor flaws can just be polished away.
But as Xu Kun listened and watched, he always felt that something was wrong, so after Chen Shu finished reading the lines, he frowned and did not respond.
Chen Shu initially thought that he was just trying to build up his emotions, but after waiting for a long time and seeing no response from Xu Kun, he had no choice but to ask, "Director Xu, is there something wrong with my performance?"
Although she was asking, there was confidence in Chen Shu's words. "Assembly" was undoubtedly a good opportunity for her to soar to fame, so she worked very hard to study the role and lines.
Based on her performance just now, she didn't dare to say that she could be compared with top actors, but at least there was no room for major faults.
"Can't tell."
Xu Kun frowned and shook his head: "Your performance is reasonable. Your expression, lines, and demeanor all captured the character. But for some reason, it just didn't feel right."
"Not the right taste?"
Chen Shu also frowned. This kind of unclear questioning was the most frustrating and the most difficult to correct.
She couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
"What about this?"
Xu Kun looked Chen Shu up and down and shook his head again: "I can't tell, maybe it's because of your appearance? Maybe if you change your clothes, you will look better."
After hearing this, Chen Shu couldn't help but sneer in his heart: What's wrong with this? After all, she still wants me to take off my clothes!
She prepared for a candlelight dinner, and was certainly ready to sacrifice herself.
Hearing Xu Kun's impatient "hint", he simply stood up and said, "Director Xu, how about we go to the guest room upstairs and I'll change into something so you can take a look?"
Then, without waiting for Xu Kun to speak, she called the waiter and asked him to pack up the food they had just ordered and send it to the guest room upstairs in an hour.
She has made her intentions clear, so Xu Kun naturally won't be pretentious.
So the two of them put on their masks and sunglasses again and climbed up the stairs to the fifth floor tacitly.
After using the room card to open the room, Chen Shu invited Xu Kun in first, and then he stayed behind and locked the door.
After Xu Kun entered the room, his eyes just fell on the double bed in the middle, when suddenly a T-shirt flew behind him and landed on the edge of the bed.
He turned around and saw that Chen Shu had already pulled his jeans down to his feet. He stepped out with one of his long white legs and lifted the other leg up, causing the jeans to float down and fall onto the bed.
Chen Shu turned around with a smile on her face, showing off her slender figure, and then asked, "Director Xu, is this the right tone?"
“It still doesn’t taste right.”
Unexpectedly, Xu Kun still shook his head.
Chen Shu was not annoyed. He took off the last two pieces of armor and stretched out his arms. "What about now?"
Before she could finish her question, Xu Kun had already stepped forward and grabbed it. It was already like this, there was no point in talking about whether it was right or not, it was more important to get down to business first.
