Chapter 377 Emptiness
Xu Kun found out about Gan Wei and Xiong Naijin's little tricks that afternoon.
Because Tangren also wants to get a piece of the pie in the new movie, he has been in contact with Cai Yinong more frequently recently. In fact, the reason why Cai Yinong reluctantly gave up half of the heroine role in "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio" to Xu Kun was also for this purpose.
Although Tangren has been doing very well in the TV drama industry in recent years, and has even overshadowed its old rival Hainan Zhouyi, who among those working in an entertainment company doesn't want to make a breakthrough on the big screen?
But Xu Kun did nothing after receiving the news.
The resources he can provide are limited after all. If he gives them to someone and doesn't give them to someone else, he will be blamed. It is better to let them "coordinate among themselves". Then no matter who wins or loses, he can't be blamed.
Besides, most of his energy is now focused on the filming of "Apple" and a small part is focused on the preparation of a new movie. He really doesn't have the spare energy to worry about this.
Let’s get back to the filming of “Apple”.
Because he failed to finish filming Lin Dongzhou's tour of the capital yesterday, Xu Kun turned into a street wanderer this morning and wandered around the capital.
When they returned to the "Foot Massage Parlor", Fan Bingbing had just finished filming the scene where he had a drink with his little sister, cursed a bunch of "stinking SBs", and then ran back to the private room upstairs in the foot massage parlor to sleep drunkenly.
Next, of course, is the scene where Lin Dong eats the apple.
"Xiao Xu."
Director Li Yu specifically called Xu Kun to the next room and asked, "We're going to shoot a passionate scene soon, do you want to prepare in advance?"
"Uh~"
It would be difficult for Xu Kun to say that he was ready for a real fight.
Just as she was hesitating about how to respond, Fan Bingbing came over, put his arm around Li Yu's waist and said, "Sister Li, didn't we already agree on this? Just let him do it for real - hehe, are you jealous?"
Having said that, he turned over Li Yu's face and gave her a wet French kiss.
In front of Xu Kun, Li Yu seemed a little embarrassed and frightened, but she did not push Fan Bingbing away. After their lips parted, she lowered her head and turned to leave: "I, I'll go arrange to clear the place first."
After Li Yu left, Fan Bingbing wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, turned back to look at Xu Kun, and asked with a smile: "How is it, are you a little surprised?"
"A little, but not much."
Xu Kun shrugged and said, "This is nothing new in our circle, and lesbianism is better than homosexuality - but I am a little curious, are you doing this for the benefit, or do you really like it?"
"you guess."
Fan Bingbing did not give a direct answer, and then continued: "After the scene is cleared, only Director Li will be there."
Xu Kun understood that her words and the frank kiss just now were meant to tell him that he wouldn't have to worry about Li Yu after the scene was cleared.
When the two came out from next door, Li Yu had regained his composure and was telling Tong Dawei that "An Xin" would airborne from the window and see his wife and Lin Dong interacting passionately from the angles of the internal and external cameras.
This scene was supposed to be shot after the passionate scene, but considering that the scene of An Xin eating an apple in the bathroom yesterday had many NGs and took a long time, Li Yu decided to finish the adultery scene first and then the clearing scene.
However, the filming of this adultery scene was also not very smooth.
The main reason was that Tong Dawei was not used to working at heights, and asking him to jump on the hanging basket and smash the windows was a bit too much to ask.
The first time, he was too cautious and couldn't act out the madness of witnessing his wife cheating on him.
He tried hard to adapt the second time and his performance was better than before. However, due to his lack of experience, he pushed the window too hard, which caused the cleaning basket to shake violently. He was so scared that he squatted down holding the railing.
This went on for 12 consecutive shots before Li Yu was finally satisfied.
When the filming was finished and Tong Dawei came down from the hanging basket, his legs were so weak that he couldn't shoot the scene of rushing into the foot massage parlor to catch the adulterer.
Li Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Then let's shoot the scene where Lin Dong violates Apple first."
At this time, the person who can probably empathize with "An Xin" the most is probably her, the director.
So Xu Kun posed the star-gazing pose on Fan Bingbing 12 times in a row, then quickly put on his clothes and walked through the door of the private room as if he had just returned from outside.
After discovering the drunken and voluptuous Liu Pingguo, he hesitated for a moment, then excitedly pulled out the gold chain from his arms, swiftly entered the private room, and carefully locked the door. This was also the reason why Xu Kun had previously requested to modify the plot. Based on Lin Dong's attitude towards this matter before and after, it can be seen that this was not the first time he had taken advantage of the waiter.
He had previously requested to add a scene of touching the younger sister's breasts in order to plant this impression in advance.
After Lin Dong's manipulation woke up Liu Pingguo, Li Yu shouted "Cut" and gave the order to clear the area.
When Xu Kun, Fan Bingbing and Li Yu were the only ones left in the room, Xu Kun felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
So he pointed at the camera on the bed and asked, "Should we stop the machine first?"
"Why stop?"
Fan Bingbing lay on his back on the bed and said, "I have discussed this with Sister Li. Let's just shoot it in one take. Then we can choose some shots that don't show any mistakes. This way it will appear more realistic."
After a pause, she continued, "If you're worried, you can take the film back and edit it first after the shooting."
"Also."
Now that things have come to this, there is no reason for Xu Kun to be pretentious.
However, speaking of this matter in such a light-hearted way actually made Xu Kun less excited, and he even felt that this real fight was a bit boring.
until……
"Sigh~"
Xu Kun touched the bloody mark on his shoulder and said speechlessly: "Did you have to scratch it so hard?"
Fan Bingbing put her finger to her lips, licked the tip of her finger with her rosy and tender tongue, and said coquettishly, "Didn't I tell you that we should do everything realistically - the resistance is also realistic."
Okay, that’s how we play it, right?
Now Xu Kun was motivated again.
There is no way to describe the next hour and forty-eight minutes in detail, but the line that Lin Dong said to Liu Pingguo in the movie sums it up pretty well: "You took the initiative first, and later, didn't you feel pretty good about it?"
During the whole process, Li Yu stood by like a ghost, without saying anything or making any movements.
It was not until Xu Kun pulled up his pants and stood up that she suddenly walked to the bedside, grasped Fan Bingbing's limp wrist, and said, "If it weren't for you, I think I would die."
uh~
What kind of twisted feelings are these?
But he is a sixth-generation director, not strange at all.
After taking the film and putting it in a special box, Xu Kun left the private room to the lesbian couple and went to the next room to light a cigarette.
He felt particularly empty after this incident.
I have had many exchanges with people based on interests in the past, but this time seems to be different from before.
Thinking about it carefully, it is probably because even if he was passively accepting in the past, when it comes to "communication", he is still the one who takes the initiative.
And this time...
Even at the most critical moment, Fan Bingbing kept some of his attention on the camera, which made Xu Kun feel as if he was a tool from beginning to end.
Plus, Li Yu was standing quietly beside him like a ghost...
Anyway, Xu Kun really didn't like this feeling. If he had known this, he would definitely not have agreed to star in "Apple".
Fortunately, when we took turns to be the couple in the crew with Fan Bingbing and Yuan Li, we got along well with each other, otherwise this trip would have been a big loss.
