Chapter 564: Fight a Circle
2009 1 Month 1 Day.
After finishing his morning exercise at a nearby boxing gym, Xu Kun returned home and heard some chattering in the study. He pushed the door open and peeked in. It turned out that Jiang Yiyan was discussing with Tang Yan, Zhao Liying, and Wang Ou how to arrange the trophies on the display shelf.
Xu Kun always puts it casually. After all, the most important thing for a movie emperor is his status and title, not these things that can only be kept at home.
But women always want the feeling that makes others feel bright when they see them.
Xu Kun took off his coat and asked, "How come you got together so early?"
Today is the day when the Youth Directors Association is officially established. Since it is a semi-official organization under the dual leadership of the China Film Association and the Film Bureau, the superiors will also send people to attend the listing ceremony.
But there were also many people in the circle who wanted to join in the fun. In order to allow both parties to go their own way, Xu Kun, Jia Zhangke and others discussed and decided to divide the listing ceremony into two sessions, morning and afternoon.
In the morning, the signboard was unveiled at the headquarters of the China Film Association, and the investment promised to Yang Qing's [Crazy Supermarket] and Jin Yimeng's [Perfect Match] was distributed in front of the leaders.
In the afternoon, the store was listed in a specially rented office and guests from the circle were entertained in the form of a cocktail party.
Jiang Yiyan and her "henchmen" naturally belonged to the afternoon group.
Seeing Xu Kun taking off his clothes as soon as he entered the room, Wang Ou was a little panicked. She also had a certain degree of understanding of the chaos in the circle, but she had just made contact with Brother Kun and it was four against one...
"It's the first day of the new year anyway, how can we leave the house deserted?" Jiang Yiyan took the clothes that Xu Kun had taken off and explained, "So I called them over to play a few rounds of mahjong, and after lunch, they will come over to help with the decorations."
"Oh~"
Xu Kun suddenly realized that he had no concept of the Gregorian New Year. When he was a child, there were no holidays during the Gregorian New Year. Later, when he became a cellmate, he cared less about it.
"Then you guys play by yourselves."
He said this and walked into the bathroom naked.
Jiang Yiyan took the clothes to the balcony to wash, and Tang Yan and Zhao Liying went to the bedroom as if they were familiar with the place and chose a more formal suit to get ready.
Only Wang Ou stood there, somewhat at a loss.
At the same time, she felt a little disappointed. Although she was a little panicked just now, panic did not mean resistance - in fact, she really wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to her sisters.
After she joined as a bonus a while ago, she was naturally accepted into Nantianmen by Jiang Yiyan, and the transfer of her agency contract is also under negotiation.
However, even though she was accepted, her current position in the circle is still relatively marginal, at least she certainly can't be as casual as Tang Yan and Zhao Liying.
As for Jiang Yiyan's treatment, I dare not even think about it.
"What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Yiyan threw the clothes into the washing machine and returned from the balcony. Seeing Wang Ou standing there in a daze, she asked casually.
"No, it's nothing."
Wang Ou quickly shook his head to indicate that he wasn't thinking anything.
But Jiang Yiyan seemed to have discovered something from her slightly flustered behavior, so she smiled and walked up to her, pinched her chest, and said, "Don't worry, I'll take you guys for a round tonight~"
Wang Ou didn't know how to respond. It's not that she was not used to this kind of joke. In fact, when she was a model, her sisters often told dirty jokes.
The main reason was that she hadn't figured out Jiang Yiyan's pulse yet, and was worried that if she followed suit, she would be seen as stealing the show.
Fortunately, Tang Yan and Zhao Liying also came out at this time. Zhao Liying held up her cell phone and said, "Sister Yiyan, the mahjong machine has arrived. Do you want them to bring it up, or..."
"Have them assemble it downstairs, put it in the elevator and call us."
As he was talking, there was a knock on the door. Tang Yan ran over and took a look through the peephole, then opened the door and let three people in. The first were Huo Siyan and Chen Shu, followed by Yang Mi, who was carrying large and small bags.
"Wow, there are quite a few people here."
Huo Siyan looked around and finally landed on Wang Ou, who looked unfamiliar to her. "Who is this?"
Wang Ou quickly said: "I am Wang Ou, I just met Sister Yi Yan not long ago."
Huo Siyan suddenly realized: "Oh ~ Liying's little sister, right? I've heard of her, I've heard of her." Zhao Liying and Wang Ou were both a little embarrassed. After all, the name "Roast Chicken Sisters" was too unpleasant.
At this time, Jiang Yiyan suddenly pointed the gun at Yang Mi: "Mi Mi has been a rare visitor recently. I heard that the two crews were working non-stop. Did you almost break your legs?"
"It's mainly because the Red Mansion crew is too strict."
Yang Mi has made progress in the past few months. Although she is not yet at the level of her elder sisters, she has no problem dealing with Jiang Yiyan's sarcasm.
She put down the things in her hands, went up to hug Jiang Yiyan's arm and said, "Normally, if we actresses want to leave the group, the big shots have to send a car to pick us up. But Sister Yiyan, you are far away in Shanghai. I am so frustrated that no one can help me."
After all, Tang Yan and she were just plastic sisters, so she took the initiative to take over the conversation and asked about the situation of the "New Red Mansion" crew.
Although the media has not exposed it yet, everyone in the industry knows that the crew is in a particularly chaotic state, so everyone wants to hear what Yang Mi, who is involved in the situation, has to say.
This circle itself is very chaotic, but it is rare to see a production like "The New Red Mansion" where actresses are picked up by luxury cars every night, and it may not be the same luxury car.
If you want to make a living in this field, you have to pay attention to the impact of public opinion. Even a well-known sea king like Xu Kun will try his best not to let people get solid evidence.
But the New Red Mansion was coveted by too many parties, as many people wanted to have a taste of the Twelve Golden Hairpins; secondly, it adopted a closed management model, thinking that it was isolated from the inside and outside and had no information, so it appeared particularly bold.
While everyone was listening to Yang Mi's vivid description of the various strange experiences on the crew, Chen Shu quietly came to the study, holding the Golden Horse Awards trophy and looking at it over and over for a long time.
She is also an actress with aspirations. She dare not even think about winning the Venice Film Festival Best Actress Award, but she has fantasized about winning the Golden Horse Award countless times.
Brother Kun won the Golden Horse Award this time, which means he has established a relationship with them. Will he have a chance in the future...
It was also because the higher-ups had blocked the news, otherwise if she had known what happened to Xu Kun on the island, she would never have had such wild ideas.
When Chen Shu reluctantly came out of the study, she found that there was a mahjong machine in the living room.
Huo Siyan, Jiang Yiyan, Yang Mi, and Zhao Liying each occupied a position, while Tang Yan and Wang Ou stood behind Jiang Yiyan and Zhao Liying respectively.
Seeing Chen Shu coming out, Zhao Liying quickly stood up and said, "Sister Chen, I'm not very good at playing mahjong, why don't you come?"
It is said that the entertainment industry is a place of fame and fortune, and even when playing mahjong, people are divided into different levels.
Without waiting for Chen Shu to reply, Xu Kun came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel. Seeing that there was a mahjong machine at home, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Where should I put this thing?"
"Put it on the balcony for a few days."
Jiang Yiyan rolled the dice and said with a smile, "Send it directly to the villa after the New Year. There's plenty of space for it."
Then he urged Yang Mi, "Six to one, it's your turn, Mi."
Yang Mi glanced at Chen Shu, and seeing that she had no intention of coming closer, he rolled the dice.
Jiang Yiyan quickly dismantled the Great Wall opposite. Zhao Liying had no choice but to follow suit and grab the cards in a hurry.
Xu Kun was about to go back to his room to change clothes, but when he saw this, he stopped and said with a smile, "Just keep the bottom line of your sister group variety show to this level. If it goes any further, it will be a disaster."
Chen Shu was very surprised when he heard this: "Can this kind of thing be broadcast on TV?"
She is also a veteran in the circle. Although she does not have the rich experience and fighting spirit of Huo Siyan and Jiang Yiyan, she can also see that Jiang Yiyan was targeting her just now.
"This is LeTV's first online variety show after its IPO. Whether it will be broadcast on satellite TV in the future depends on the courage of major TV stations."
After Xu Kun finished speaking, he went straight into the bedroom, put on his clothes, tidied himself up, went downstairs and drove straight to the headquarters of the China Film Association.
After he left, Huo Siyan took the initiative to suggest, "How about we film the scene of them bickering while playing mahjong and see how it looks first?"
This proposal was immediately unanimously approved by all the women.
Xu Kun said that if the sister group's variety show was too harmonious, people would easily accuse them of being hypocritical, so the given tone was to show some of their jealous, sarcastic, and clique-forming sides.
Although the girls felt that what he said made sense and it was not easy to go against the tone he set, they were still somewhat nervous about it, fearing that showing too much would cause a bad influence.
This can be considered as a rehearsal in advance.
