Chapter 584 Women's Treasure
I slept all the way in the car.
It was already past 9 o'clock when we arrived at the crew, which was actually not too late, because the actors needed to put on makeup and the scene needed to be surveyed and arranged. If the director came too early, he would just have to wait on the side.
"Director Xu."
As soon as Xu Kun got out of the car, the production manager came running over and said, "Director Huang has something urgent to deal with, so he may not be able to get here until the afternoon."
"understood."
As Xu Kun walked in, he asked, "What shows are scheduled for this morning?"
"There were mainly two indoor scenes in the morning. One was the joint interview of Chairman Mao and Lao Jiang, and the other was an exclusive interview of Zhang Lan by a reporter."
Xu Kun paused and asked, "I remember the reporter who interviewed Zhang Lan was Teacher Chen Hong? Is she here?"
"I'm already here, and I'm putting on makeup."
"Oh, then when she finishes putting on her makeup, remember to remind me to go say hello."
They are all free guest appearances. It would be fine if they were just small-time actors, but if you have a certain status, you have to show your attitude - Chen Hong is not as good as she used to be, but Chen Kaige hasn't come to guest appearance yet, so he definitely can't lose face for his wife now.
After hearing Xu Kun's instructions, the production director lowered his head and wrote it down in his notebook.
"Hey, Xu Shiyi!"
At this moment, an exaggerated voice suddenly came from the side. Xu Kun looked over and found that it was Sun Honglei.
He followed Sun Piaoliang's lead and joked, "Brother Honglei, a billionaire like me has condescended to come and make a movie, so you have to behave better."
"Of course. Everyone knows that your time is valuable. You can make hundreds of thousands of dollars in minutes." Sun Honglei laughed heartily, but the complex emotions in his heart were probably only understood by himself.
The two chatted and laughed as they came to the director's temporary office. When Xu Kun offered his seat, Sun Honglei did not take it. Instead, he smiled and said, "You are busy, so I won't bother you any more. Let's get together again when we return to the crew of Three Shots Surprise."
"Lao Mouzi's new play?"
"Yes, I play the leading male role in it."
Sun Honglei was still somewhat proud of this. This was his second collaboration with Zhang Yimou, and he also appeared in the recently released "Mei Lanfang". In addition, he played the villain BOSS in "Operation Kunpeng"...
If it weren't for Xu Kun, who was cheating and had a huge lead, he would have been considered one of the best in the circle.
Since Sun Piaoliang was not going to stay long, Xu Kun simply sent him back to the dressing room, and then discussed his understanding of today's scene with Zhang Guoli, who played Chiang Kai-shek, and Tang Guoqiang, who played the Chairman.
To be honest, Tang Guoqiang's attitude towards the role is not as serious as Zhang Guoli's, but he also has the capital to be careless. He has played the Chairman more than a dozen times before, and he is 56 years old this year, exactly the same age as the Chairman when he founded the People's Republic of China.
No one can compare with this unique condition.
At this time, the production director's voice came out quietly again, reminding Xu Kun that teacher Chen Hong next to him had finished putting on makeup.
Xu Kun apologized to Zhang and Tang and wanted to go next door to say hello.
Unexpectedly, I received a call from Ning Hao halfway through the journey.
Ning Hao's "Crazy Racing" achieved a box office of over 100 million yuan after the New Year, which was something worth writing about. Unfortunately, there was Xu's excellent work before it, and although it also received a certain degree of praise, it was still somewhat inferior to the original time and space.
Xu Kun turned to the corner and just picked up the phone when he heard Ning Hao complaining on the other side: "President Xu, I'm not as hands-off as you are. This is "Crazy Supermarket" and a talent show, and you throw it to us..."
Xu Kun interrupted him calmly: "Tell me, how much additional money do you need this time?"
"Uh~"
Ning Hao's momentum stagnated, and then he habitually gave an excuse: "Hasn't the country recently made large investments in infrastructure? The travel expenses and food expenses are rising, and our variety show requires traveling all over the country, so..."
"How much exactly?"
"Uh~"
Ning Hao was stuck again, and uttered a number somewhat uncomfortably: "Another 300,000 or 400,000 should be enough."
"Okay, I'll ask Lao Chen to transfer 600,000 yuan. The travel expenses for the staff can be set higher, but the work must be done carefully."
Ning Hao was speechless for a moment.
He was used to being thrifty, and when he suddenly met a leader like Xu Kun who was not short of money, he didn't know how to deal with it.
"Anything else?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Ning Hao came back to his senses and said hurriedly, "Assistant Director Lao Jia has been working hard in his hometown for half a year and finally finished the script. When do you have time, let's meet and talk." "Send the photocopy first, and we can discuss it before I go south to Shanghai." Xu Kun wondered, "Why didn't Lao Jia call himself, but asked you to be the middleman?"
"Last time you refused to invest in Nanjing, Nanjing. Although Lao Jia had expected that, he still had to put on an act for those people to see."
Xu Kun had forgotten about this matter long ago, but he didn't expect that Jia Zhangke and his gang were still thinking about it.
After chatting for a while and agreeing to send the script over in the afternoon, Xu Kun was about to hang up the phone.
“Wait, wait!”
At this moment, Ning Hao suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly, "Remember to invite your brother Baoqiang to come along. Han Jie said that he is the best man to play the leading role in this play."
"Another Sha Gen or Xu San Duo?"
"No, no, if I play this role well, I will definitely win an award!"
After hearing what Ning Hao said, Xu Kun also became interested, but when he asked for details, Ning Hao was vague, so he could only wait for the script to be delivered.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Kun was thinking about whether he should say hello to Baoqiang in advance. If he was not busy, he could just come over and read the script together.
As a result, I inadvertently saw a woman wearing an old-fashioned cheongsam made of gray plaid, quietly observing me not far away.
"Hey~Mrs. Chen."
Xu Kun quickly put the phone back into his pocket and apologized, "I wanted to take the initiative to go over and say hello, but who knew the call would come out of nowhere."
“I heard from the producer.”
Chen Hong's eyes flickered. She glanced back first, then stepped closer to Xu Kun and stretched out her hand, saying, "Congratulations. Old Chen has been working hard for so many years, and the box office of his movies is not as good as yours. I didn't expect that even the family business he has accumulated is far less than yours."
"Ha ha……"
Xu Kun didn't know how to comment on this, so he could only give a vague answer and then reached out and shook her hand gently.
Originally, I wanted to stop right away, but who knew that suddenly, I felt a strong pulling force coming from Chen Hong's hand, and it was quite strong.
Of course, this "not small" also depends on who you compare it to. At least for Xu Kun, it is like an ant trying to shake a tree. No matter how hard Chen Hong pulled, it didn't move at all.
"Mrs. Chen, what are you doing?"
Xu Kun asked in confusion, not understanding what he meant.
Only then did Chen Hong let go of her hand and questioned, "You are so strong and your lower body is so stable, how could I have pulled you down on the stage?"
"what?!"
Xu Kun was stunned for a moment, until Chen Hong turned and left, he remembered that this should be talking about what happened when the two of them were performing an impromptu performance on "Yahoo Star Search" that year.
It’s a wonder she still remembers it!
And why is this matter suddenly brought up again?
Should I have taken advantage of the situation and pressed forward?
But after thinking about it carefully, Xu Kun didn't find it strange. After all, he has been favored by aunts and sisters since his debut, and the few who have had in-depth contact with him love him very much.
…………
the other side.
Chen Hong returned to the tent where the actresses put on makeup. She still felt her heart beating wildly and her cheeks burning. She looked in the mirror and saw that they were indeed red.
Just now, she heard that Xu Kun went to a corner to make a phone call halfway through the journey, and she became restless like a possessed person, and finally she couldn't help but go over to look for him.
Now that the impulse has passed and reason has taken over again, she feels both regretful and afraid.
You and Jiang Wenli are not the same, how can you mess around?! If this happens...how will you face your husband and children in the future?!
Calm down, be sure to calm down!
What Chen Hong is most thankful for now is that she only has a few shots, so she can leave as soon as the filming is finished to avoid further contact with Xu Kun.
Just at this moment, her phone rang. After looking at the caller ID, she couldn't help but feel surprised - it was the great poet Chen calling.
Fortunately, Chen Hong is a professional actor after all, so she quickly calmed down and answered the call.
I only heard Director Chen say on the phone: "I'm already at the crew. Where are you? Are you in the tent in the northwest corner?"
Hearing this, Chen Hong almost lost her composure again, feeling extremely scared. If this happened a few minutes later at night, wouldn't Old Chen see her?
Don't be so impulsive in the future, otherwise it will be no joke if you get caught, unless you can ensure that there is no risk of error...
bah bah bah!
"what happened to you?"
"Nothing, I accidentally swallowed some makeup. Wait, I'll go find you!"
