Chapter 305 Comeback
Is there something wrong with this man?!
Ninety minutes later, Chen Shu, who felt as if his muscles and bones had been pulled out and his whole body was so limp that he could not muster any strength, was forced by Xu Kun to sit up.
She held the script stuffed into her hands, and her expression was similar to that of an old man on the subway looking at his cell phone.
If Xu Kun was not a well-known director but just a first-line actor, Chen Shu would have thrown the script in his face long ago.
But now I can only suppress my unhappiness and read the script silently.
"He was studying at the National Normal School in the provincial capital, and he left without even saying goodbye. My mother-in-law missed her son so much that she fell ill and never got out of bed again..."
The suppressed resentment, coupled with the hoarse voice and lack of strength, showed an emotion that was completely different from the original one.
But the quality of the performance did not decline, and the emotions seemed even more sincere.
but……
Xu Kun stroked his chin, looked Chen Shu up and down and said, "There's still something wrong."
Chen Shu saw that he was serious, so he put aside his dissatisfaction, wrapped himself in a summer quilt, sat in front of the dressing table, and recited it again in front of the mirror.
Although there are some differences from my usual practice, I feel like I can reach a higher level. What's wrong with that?
Xu Kun couldn't explain it clearly at once, so he said, "How about this, tomorrow you dress up as the character in the play, and then go to Director Feng to perform in person. If he thinks it's okay, then maybe I'm overthinking it."
"This……"
Chen Shu turned around and hesitated, "Director Xu, won't you go with me?"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to get away tomorrow. The commercial for the domestic Mercedes-Benz has already been roughly cut, and I've made an appointment with them to watch the film together tomorrow."
Xu Kun said, "Don't worry, I'll contact Uncle Feng later. Aren't you going to apologize to him? It's a good opportunity to do both things at the same time."
Chen Shu was satisfied. The reason why she was so proactive was because she saw Xu Kun's extraordinary status, so she wanted to find a backer for herself in advance.
Sure enough, problems that were difficult for him to solve were just a matter of a phone call for Xu Kun.
She sat down on the bed gracefully and pecked Xu Kun on the cheek. Before she could say anything, Xu Kun pressed her down under him.
"Don't... I can't stand it anymore!"
…………
The next morning.
When Xu Kun left the hotel, Chen Shu, who was exhausted, was still sleeping like a dead pig.
Xu Kun was gifted in his previous life, and it seemed that his physical fitness was further enhanced after his rebirth. He fought in South Korea for a week at a high intensity, and instead of being weakened, he became more and more courageous.
This is probably the reason why "a good sword is forged through constant grinding".
In the morning, he took the finished product to the domestic Mercedes-Benz headquarters. The client attached great importance to it and the general manager and two deputy general managers personally inspected the product.
After seeing the finished film, the three CEOs were all very satisfied. Although they didn't say it explicitly, the part they were most satisfied with was undoubtedly the pair of snow-white thighs slowly leaning on the armrest.
This scene really touches men’s hearts!
Even if the purpose of buying a car is not this, who can resist the temptation of beautiful women and luxury cars?
However, a department manager raised an objection: "Director Xu, will this affect the image of our brand?"
"can you?"
Xu Kun pretended to be confused and said: "Although the Mercedes-Benz E280 is positioned as a luxury business car, it should not affect the brand image by taking into account some family attributes?" What does this have to do with family attributes?
This is clearly a vulgar manifestation of luxury cars and gold-digging women, right? !
The department manager wanted to say something else, but he heard a vice president nod and say, "Director Xu is right. I think it is necessary to take family attributes into consideration. This can not only highlight the versatility of our Mercedes-Benz, but also expand sales."
I guess it's to expand the sales channels in the lower three directions?
The department manager secretly complained in his heart, but the lower-level sales channel is still a sales channel, and since the leaders have no objection, he can't say anything more.
This somewhat controversial one was passed, so naturally there was no opposition to the "Real Kung Fu" chapter.
So both parties had lunch in harmony, and then the host and the guest said goodbye to each other happily.
As a result, Xu Kun was on his way back on the E280 when he received a crying call from Chen Shu:
"Director Xu! Wuwu, I, I...Director Feng wants to replace me! Wuwuwu..."
Tsk~
Xu Kun didn't expect things to be so serious, and he regretted acting too quickly yesterday.
If Chen Shu was kicked out of the crew right after he had taken advantage of the situation, it would be strange if Chen Shu would let it go.
What if she reveals this...
uh~
It didn't seem like a big deal. As the saying goes, too much debt means no worries, and too many lice mean no bites. Anyway, I waited until she signed the contract before I started, so there was no exchange of interests.
But our brother Kun couldn't turn his face and be ruthless after all, so he asked: "Don't cry so quickly, what's going on, just tell me clearly."
Chen Shu was sobbing on the other end of the phone and saying a lot of incoherent things before Xu Kun finally understood what was going on.
When Chen Shu wears modern clothes or when he is naked, the sense of incongruity is not that strong.
But this morning, she followed Xu Kun's instructions and changed into special costumes and makeup. When she appeared in front of Feng Xiaogang, the sense of incongruity was particularly strong.
To put it bluntly, her temperament conflicts with the heroine's personality to the extent that it cannot be reconciled by acting skills - at least it cannot be reconciled by Chen Shu's acting skills.
So after a series of tests, Feng Xiaogang could only say with regret that he had chosen the wrong heroine and might need to find another actress with a more rural flavor.
"I just said it doesn't taste right."
After listening to this, Xu Kun was complacent about his own judgment. Feng Xiaogang hadn't noticed anything wrong before, but he could tell that something was wrong at first glance.
"Woooooo~"
Chen Shu on the opposite side cried even louder.
"Don't cry so quickly. Isn't there still half a year before the filming? Let me discuss this with Director Feng. You can first find a place in the countryside to experience life and see if you can improve. The limit is the National Day. If it still doesn't work by then, then I can't do anything."
When Chen Shu heard this, he felt like he had grabbed a life-saving straw and hurriedly said, "I'll ask someone to find a place for me to live in the countryside tomorrow!"
After a pause, he said gratefully, "Director Xu, thank you so much for this time! If we delay until the official start of filming, then I... Don't worry, I will definitely repay you well in the future!"
She was quite tactful and didn't mention what happened last night at all. Instead, she thanked him without hesitation.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Kun went to Feng Xiaogang as agreed to plead for her. Feng Xiaogang had been very optimistic about Chen Shu, otherwise he would not have decided on her to play the leading female role so early.
If the temperament displayed by Chen Shu was not so different from what he had imagined, he would not have made up his mind to replace Chen Shu.
Now that Xu Kun has come forward to intercede, Feng Xiaogang has gone with the flow and given Chen Shu a chance to "make a comeback." As for whether he can seize it, that depends on how far Chen Shu can make a comeback.
This matter also reminded Xu Kun that when looking for couples in the crew in the future, you must not do it too advanced, otherwise if you find that the situation is not right when filming, you will not be able to change people at will.
As a result, most of the things filmed will be inherently flawed. It would not be worth it to sacrifice reputation just for Duan's fleeting romance.
