Chapter 333 Appreciation
Xu Kun took a nap, and when he woke up again at noon, he was the only one left in the bed.
I went to the living room and looked outside, and the place was empty.
However, women are better than men in one aspect when they get together. They basically clean up everything before leaving - of course there are exceptions, and the number of exceptions increases as time goes by.
At this time, the door of the study suddenly opened. It turned out that Qin Lan was thinking about the script in the study. He heard the noise and went out to check.
Xu Kun originally wanted to ask her what happened last night, but he was afraid that if he really asked her something, he would not be able to handle it, so he finally thought about it and gave up.
Don't take the initiative to find out the truth. Wait until someone comes to you. If no one comes, just treat it as a dream.
"Wake up, if you want something to eat, I'll make it for you."
Qin Lan said, rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the kitchen.
"Just get anything. I'll take a shower and change my clothes first. We'll go to the company to meet Director Feng this afternoon."
Although he said he would not investigate the matter, Xu Kun could not help but look in the mirror while taking a shower, trying to identify the man from the teeth marks.
Unfortunately, he obviously didn't have the ability to do so, and in the end he could only put on his clothes and come out in disappointment.
Qin Lan cooked a pot of wontons and added some dried shrimps, seaweed and rapeseed. Knowing that Xu Kun had a strong taste, she mixed some salt, MSG and chili powder into the pot.
Then he heated up the unleavened bread he bought yesterday using the electric baking pan, put it on a plate and served it together.
She ate less than one bowl of rice herself, while Xu Kun finished two pounds of pancakes with three bowls of wontons. Although he still felt a little unsatisfied, he didn't go to the rooftop for morning exercise today, so he couldn't continue to indulge himself.
After dinner, he crossed his legs and waited for Qin Lan to clean up the dishes. At the same time, he called the movie channel to ask what they thought of the first eight episodes.
The feedback on the movie channel is about 30:70.
Seven out of ten people thought it was well filmed, but a small number of people felt that it looked too much like a TV series and was not as movie-like as the original Shaw Brothers martial arts style.
To Xu Kun, this is pure pretentiousness.
None of the movies made in recent years are in the same style as Shaw Brothers - they are already outdated, but some people still treat them like treasures.
Fortunately, the overall evaluation is good. The intention over there is to let Xu Kun cut the rest as soon as possible and then hand it over to the post-production process. By then, it is likely to be broadcast earlier than the "Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" series.
The reason for doing this, of course, was to use Xu Kun's name to make a good start.
Xu Kun was speechless at the way they nitpicked and yet took advantage of him without hesitation - no wonder they hung the C6 logo, their attitude was exactly the same.
But thinking about how he had developed real directing abilities through these ten digital films, Xu Kun didn't bother to argue with them.
It was agreed that the goods would be delivered in a week. Xu Kun saw that the time was almost up, so he took Qin Lan downstairs.
Speechless all the way.
Huang Bin had been waiting for a long time when they arrived at Huayi's parking lot. As soon as the car stopped, he ran forward to open the door and reflected deeply on himself for not being able to get there in time last night.
"It's OK if someone else goes. Everyone has inconvenient times." Xu Kun waved his hand nonchalantly and asked, "Is Director Feng in the company?"
"I should be here. I had lunch with Mr. Wang and Director Chen at noon."
The three of them walked into Huayi's headquarters office building while talking. When they were on the first floor, they saw Fan Bingbing, who was wearing a Chanel-style suit, scolding the receptionist.
When he saw Xu Kun and Qin Lan, Fan Bingbing wanted to put on a smile, but he couldn't adjust his emotions for a while.
If it were someone else, Qin Lan would definitely say a few words of concern, but most of the female celebrities in Huayi don't get along with Fan Bingbing, so in the end it was Xu Kun who took the initiative to ask: "Bingbing, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just lost a package."
This was obviously not the truth, but Xu Kun did not ask any further questions. He didn't know if Fan Bingbing had offended the lucky star this year, as he got into trouble every few days.
There have been almost no shortage of stories about her supporting a mistress, cheating, being a big shot, refusing donations, etc. If it were any other female celebrity, she would have collapsed long ago, or gradually disappeared, but Fan Bingbing has become stronger and stronger, proving with ironclad facts that being black and red is also red.
They were about to say goodbye, but Fan Bingbing followed him into the elevator and invited Xu Kun: "Director Xu, please come to the premiere of The Warring States next month - we are all waiting to share your luck."
This statement came from "Crazy Stone". After Stone became a huge hit at the box office, many people dug deep and believed that Ning Hao benefited from Xu Kun's influence, otherwise the box office would have been difficult to break 3000 million.
"Don't say that. If you're talking about luck, Liu Dehua has been popular for so many years. That's really God's blessing..."
They chatted all the way until they reached the floor where Feng Xiaogang was. Xu Kun and Qin Lan got off the elevator, but Fan Bingbing did not follow them down. Instead, he went straight to the top floor.
Qin Lan was silent for a long time before he said faintly, "It seems that we at Huayi need to get a new receptionist."
"Is that girl good at entertaining people?"
Xu Kun thought about it and told Qin Lan, "Leave her a phone number. If she is fired, introduce her to LeTV."
When I entered Feng Xiaogang's office, I saw Huang Xiaoming and Hu Jun besides Feng Xiaogang.
Qin Lan was obviously a little uncomfortable when he saw Huang Xiaoming, and Huang Xiaoming also looked a little embarrassed.
Xu Kun then remembered that they had once been in a relationship, but later they broke up because Huang Xiaoming cheated on him.
Thinking of this, he thought of what Wang Zhonglei said, "inheritance in an orderly manner" - "inheritance in an orderly manner" is of course a joke, but this kind of thing is not uncommon in the circle.
Xu Kun pretended to be calm, staring at Hu Jun, and raised his chin to Huang Xiaoming and said, "Captain, is this the new instructor you assigned?"
Hu Jun plays the role of the regiment commander who orders the 9th Company to break off and block the enemy's attack, while Huang Xiaoming plays the role of a cultural instructor who was so scared when he first went to the battlefield and was later asked by Guzidi to be his instructor.
In fact, Hu Jun also had complicated feelings when facing Xu Kun.
The year before last, he missed out on the role in "Zhu Yuanzhang" because of his Manchu identity, and he has been brooding over it ever since. He thinks it's too unfair that Xu Kun, whose acting skills and fame are not as good as his, won because of his ethnic identity.
Later, after seeing Xu Kun's performance, his opinion changed slightly.
A year later, he met Xu Kun again, but their identities had completely switched...
Seeing Xu Kun using the plot from the play, Hu Jun quickly got into the mood. His face twitched slightly, and he glanced at Huang Xiaoming beside him. Then he said solemnly: "The mission of the Ninth Company is very difficult. You have to take good care of Comrade Xiaoming for me."
Huang Xiaoming was a little slow, then he gritted his teeth and said with his neck stiff, "Captain, don't worry, I will definitely not back down this time!"
This scene was not written in the script, but was an impromptu performance by the three people based on their characters.
Feng Xiaogang could basically tell the characters' personalities from the conversation between the three people, so he nodded with satisfaction, and then turned to Qin Lan: "I guessed that he would most likely recommend you - in fact, I originally wanted to... forget it, since Kun'er has spoken, then you should prepare well."
Xu Kun didn't know whether Feng Xiaogang had any real concerns or was just saying it casually, but he definitely had to accept the favor.
He smiled and asked, "Uncle Feng, don't you want to try acting again?"
"Why try? We are in the same company and we meet each other every day. How can I not know Qin Lan's level?"
"That's fine. Now that the real heroine has returned, why don't I host it and invite Brother Zhang, Deng Chao, Bao Qiang, Li Chen and the others. Let's get together in advance."
"Let's talk about it in a few days."
Feng Xiaogang rubbed his brows and said, "I still have a lot of things to do - how are you doing over there, when will you be done?"
"About six or seven days. Activities in Beijing and Taiwan cannot be pushed forward. Otherwise, five days should be enough."
"As soon as possible."
Although it is impossible for Feng Xiaogang to really use Xu Kun as an "assistant director", it is much more convenient to let Xu Kun do some things than to use other assistant directors.
