Chapter 48 Just like this by you
In the spacious warehouse.
Xu Kun ducked to avoid the fist coming towards his face, and with a sweeping kick, he knocked Li Xiangyang to the ground.
At this time, the guerrilla fighter next to him rushed up with a bench in his hand. Xu Kun gave a clean and neat side kick in the air, breaking the bench and kicking the guerrilla fighter about ten feet away.
Xu Kun brushed off the dust on his major's uniform, stepped on Li Xiangyang's chest, lowered his body slightly, gave a thumbs up to the guerrillas lying on the ground, and said arrogantly: "The Imperial Japanese Army, this is a job well done!"
Then he switched to pointing his little finger and pointed it downwards: "Delayed payment man, what the hell... What?!"
Halfway through the conversation, Li Xiangyang, whose thigh was being stepped on, suddenly did a sit-up and grabbed Xu Kun's little finger.
"Click~!"
The director, who had already held the tin trumpet to his lips, immediately called for a stop, and then urged repeatedly: "Props, props, hurry up!"
The prop master hurriedly ran over to bring a fake finger to replace Xu Kun's real finger.
Next comes the story of the national hero Li Xiangyang, who breaks the fingers of the Japanese lieutenant colonel and then beats the Japanese to his heart's content.
After half an hour.
Xu Kun spat out the blood in his mouth and was lying next to the sink gargling when the director personally handed him the performance fee and red envelope, praising him repeatedly: "Sharp, really sharp, you are worthy of being the legendary killing machine!"
Judging from the tone of his voice, he probably went to Hong Kong Island for further studies.
"Easy to say, easy to say."
Xu Kun's attitude was somewhat perfunctory. After he joined the crew, he found out that the protagonist of the play was "Li Xiangyang".
As one of the most famous film and television heroes in Hebei, Xu Kun grew up listening to and watching the stories of Li Xiangyang. When he was a child, he often dressed up as Li Xiangyang to play games of fighting the Japanese invaders.
Who would have thought that one day he would become the Japanese officer who beat Li Xiangyang and was beaten by Li Xiangyang himself?
This made Xu Kun somewhat uncomfortable.
But when I think about it carefully, I have even ridden on Ge Ling, so this is not the worst thing that can ruin my childhood.
At this time, Baoqiang also took off his Japanese military uniform and walked over. He had just died happily, so his body was relatively clean.
The director pulled Baoqiang aside and started praising him. His implicit meaning was that he wanted them to stay and continue to be martial arts directors - the fight scene just now was thought up by Xu Kun and Baoqiang.
Wang Baoqiang was somewhat tempted, but Xu Kun had no intention of becoming a martial arts director. If he used this time, he could visit more film crews and earn enough to buy two mobile phones.
Just as he thought of his cell phone, Xu Kun's phone rang, and the caller ID showed it was Li Yixiang.
After Xu Kun left the crew of "The Thirteenth Princess", he also went to have a drink with Li Yixiang. Li Yixiang told him that "Blind Well" had been edited, but as expected, it failed to pass the release review.
Director Li Yang is now trying to find ways to get the film out there to participate in film festivals. Normally, if a mainland film wants to go abroad to participate in film festivals, it must first be invited and then obtain permission from the radio and television authorities before it can go ahead.
In 2000, Jiang Wen took "The Devils" to Cannes without receiving an invitation, and was banned from directing for five years by the radio, television and radio, film and television. With this experience, Li Yang would definitely not take the path of privately participating in the exhibition unless it is absolutely necessary.
But the formal route is not so easy to follow. Li Yixiang estimated that it would be good if he could complete the procedures by the end of the year, and there is a high chance that it will not work.
This made Xu Kun and Bao Qiang a little disappointed. They had been thinking about what honor "Blind Well" would win so that they could also rise with the honor.
But looking at this situation, we can't count on you for the time being.
The book returns to its true story.
But Xu Kun picked up the phone and asked with a smile: "Brother Li, why did you think of calling me today? Is there something important that you need to take care of for your brother?"
Li Yixiang's usual steady voice came from the other end of the phone: "A crew recently approached me to start a job. I've read the script. It's based on a major case in Shishi two years ago..."
"The big case in Shi City in the past two years?"
When Xu Kun heard this, he immediately blurted out: "Could it be about that Zhang xx thing?"
"Huh? Have you heard of it?" "Well, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to come to the capital."
When Zhang XX caused trouble, everyone in the provincial capital was in danger, and many gang leaders were forced to flee to other places to avoid the limelight. The group that competed with Zhang Yong for the loose beer business last summer was one of them.
It can be said that Xu Kun was an innocent victim of Zhang XX's misfortune.
After listening to this, Li Yixiang smiled and said, "So there is such a connection. You should play a role in it. I will contact you tonight and we will meet the director first."
“Who is the director of this play?”
"It's Director Gao Qunshu, who directed "Murder Cases" two years ago. I've seen "Murder Cases". Although it's a documentary that is not taken seriously, Director Gao's level of writing and directing is quite good."
After working on the crew of "The Thirteenth Princess", Xu Kun is no longer as superstitious about directors and actors with brilliant records as before, but he still believes in Li Yixiang's evaluation.
Looking at Baoqiang standing beside him, he asked again: "What about Baoqiang..."
"Maybe there will be a chance in the future. Even if he goes to this drama, he can only play some nameless minor role."
"Okay, let's contact each other later."
Xu Kun wanted to hang up the phone, but Li Yixiang reminded him: "You'd better not talk about your past. No one cares about it now, but if you become famous one day, it will be a big bomb."
Xu Kun was actually vaguely aware of this, but he had not thought that far yet.
Now, after Li Yixiang's reminder, Xu Kun was also wondering whether he should find a way to eliminate this risk.
But he couldn't think of a suitable way to do it. After all, he was quite famous in his hometown county.
Maybe when I have more money in the future, I can donate more to my hometown and strive for a better reputation?
After hanging up the phone, Baoqiang immediately came up to me, rubbing his hands and asking hopefully, "Brother Kun, did your second uncle introduce you to a great job?"
In "Blind Shaft", Yuan Fengming entered the mine as the nephew of Song Jinming. In order to better get into the role, Baoqiang called Li Yixiang "Second Uncle" in the crew.
Xu Kun did not hide it and said with his hands spread out: "It sounds like a big job, but it's a pity that there is no role that suits you this time."
Bao Qiang's expression dimmed for a moment, but he smiled again and said, "It's okay, Brother Kun, if you become famous, I can also benefit from it."
"That's enough."
Xu Kun curled his lips. "Brother Li is good in everything else except that he likes to act in movies that TV stations don't allow to be broadcast. This time it's a crime movie, or a TV series. Who knows, it might be in vain again. Wait, the prototype is Zhang XX's TV series?!"
Halfway through his conversation, he suddenly realized what was going on, picked up his phone and called Li Yixiang again, suppressing his excitement and asking, "Brother Li, what's the name of our TV series?"
“It seems to be called “Conquest”.”
Can’t be wrong!
In the trading room, since we rarely watch movies and TV dramas, people usually don’t discuss topics related to this, unless a big star is arrested.
But "Conquer" is an exception. People would mention this drama from time to time, and there were always people who mistook the "Hengzhou" in the drama as Xu Kun's hometown, and asked the old senior Xu Kun about Liu Huaqiang's glorious past.
From this point alone, it is not difficult to guess that this drama is definitely a phenomenal hit, or even a classic in film history. If you can seize this opportunity, you might really soar to success!
Xu Kun calmed himself down and asked, "Brother Li, has the actor who plays Zhang XX been decided?"
"deal."
Li Yixiang naturally understood what Xu Kun meant: "Don't worry about it. He was introduced by Director Zhao Baogang and he played the son in My Father and Mother."
Why is it another son?
Xu Kun was greatly disappointed. He had been thinking whether he could impress the director with his personal experience in the underworld - as for whether it would be impressive or not, he would wait until he became famous.
But if you can't eat the meat and bones, you can at least drink some soup.
Xu Kun quickly regained his fighting spirit and was ready to get a sufficiently outstanding role - needless to say, it would be another villain role.
