Chapter 79 It Can't Be Wrong
That night, Li Xiaolu tossed and turned on the double bed in the hotel.
That night, Huo Siyan also tossed and turned in her bed.
Both of them couldn't sleep at night because of the same man, but the former was physical, while the latter was spiritual.
Just as Li Xiaolu commented, Huo Siyan looked quiet and gentle on the surface, and she did not fight for anything in the crew, taking things as they come, but in fact, she was in turmoil deep down inside all the time.
She wants to be famous, she wants to be rich and powerful, she wants everyone to look up to her!
But how easy is it to carve out a path in this circle?
Although she has worked hard to get the role of 'Wu Yunzhu'.
However, as "The Young Emperor" is Liu Heng's first work, its style is different from previous Qing palace dramas, and it is difficult to determine whether it will be accepted by the audience.
What's more troublesome is that according to the information Li Xiaolu found out, because Liu Heng is a big name and attracts attention, and this drama severely slanders the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, there are voices within CCTV, Beijing and Taiwan to boycott this drama.
If the drama cannot be shown on CCTV, Beijing and Taiwan in the end, its influence will definitely be greatly reduced.
And even if these problems are all groundless worries, the focus of this drama is on the Queen Mother [Pan Hong], the Concubine Dowager [He Saifei], and the Queen [Hao Lei].
In terms of the likability of the characters, the "Wu Yunzhu" she played is not even as good as Yang Rong's "Tong Layue" and Cui Bo's "Hua Zhuzi".
Can 'Wu Yunzhu', who seems to be well-educated and harmless, but is actually a traitor and kills her husband, really stand out among these people?
Huo Siyan doesn't have this confidence.
So when she has free time, she always thinks of Li Xiaolu, thinks of Li Xiaolu's "The Sent-Down Girl" which won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress, and thinks of the continuous resources Li Xiaolu has received from Hong Kong, Taiwan and mainland China after winning the award.
At the beginning of the year, CCTV's "Fairy Tale of Youth" and Frog Island's "The Twins" were released, and in the middle of the year, "Young Zhang Sanfeng" was released.
In the first half of the year, she starred in "The Thirteenth Princess", and in the middle of the year, she filmed "Fate Under the Sky" and "The Eastward Flowing River". Now she is about to join the crew to star in "My Naughty Angel".
Ancient history, modern romance, anti-corruption drama, urban idol, I heard that he also filmed a low-budget literary film. Such a wide variety of resources makes Huo Siyan drool.
But she has neither the rebellious boldness that Li Xiaolu developed since childhood, nor the mother who supports her in becoming famous by stripping, nor the connections that the Li family has accumulated over the years.
So in the original historical plot, she hesitated for a long time, and only started to act in 2004.
First, she clung to the thigh of Huayi Wang Laoer, and then appeared in a movie naked. She went from a pure girl to a porn star overnight, and also won the coveted awards and attention.
The movie she filmed is called: "I Want to Be Famous".
Back to the present timeline.
Now Huo Siyan has not yet made up her mind to become famous by stripping off her clothes, nor has she met Huayi Wang Laoer, but she has discovered another shortcut in advance.
What was Ge You’s status in 2002?
"Editor's Story", "Big Spread", "To Live", "Farewell My Concubine", "Party A and Party B", "See You There", "Endless", "Big Shot"...
At the moment, whether in terms of awards or reputation, whether in terms of popularity or word of mouth, Ge You is the undisputed number one among the middle-aged generation in the mainland, and the one who can make the most money and carry the box office!
Even in the Beijing circle, which is mostly composed of children from wealthy families, he is a well-known figure.
If Xu Kun is really Ge You's nephew, then with this big tree behind him, wouldn't all kinds of resources be easily available to him? !
Thinking of this, Huo Siyan's pair of snow-white long legs tightly clamped the quilt, and even her breathing became heavy.
But on second thought, he felt something was not right. If Xu Kun was really Ge You's nephew, why did he start out as a supporting actor?
And he is still just a supporting role until now - if Ge Youken paves the way for him, it should be possible for him to take down "Fulin" directly, right?
Is this just a misunderstanding?
But the call was clearly made by Ge You himself, and he even said that he would pick up Xu Kun personally. If there was no special relationship, why would Ge You take an ordinary little actor so seriously?
Huo Siyan thought about it and finally felt that Ge You might want Xu Kun to replicate his own path.
Before filming his famous movie "The Troublemakers", Ge You had been a supporting actor for ten years - with the connections that old man Ge Cunzhuang had in the circle, if he really had to lower himself to ask for help, how could he let his son waste ten years?
So this is probably the training method passed down from generation to generation in the Ge family, or the free-range method. But if everything depends on Xu Kun's own efforts, then what's the point of taking the initiative to get close to him?
No, no!
According to Li Xiaolu, the role of 'Ji Du' was introduced to him by Lv Liping - who is Lv Liping? She is Ge Ling from the editorial department.
And there is Teacher Li Fazeng!
There's nothing strange about being half-fellow villagers, but the old man just looked at Xu Kun differently and taught him in person all day long - now that I think about it, it's probably because of the Ge family's connections!
So it’s not that Xu Kun didn’t use the Ge family’s connections, he just used them in a more covert and restrained way.
Li Xiaolu slept soundly in the hotel in the second half of the night.
The more Huo Siyan thought about it, the more excited she became. She simply got up at four in the morning, borrowed a Changan Alto from her neighbor, dressed up in disguise, and ran to Beishatan, ready to verify her guess.
She got this position at the dinner table last night.
However, it was not easy to find the specific location based on Xu Kun's casual words. Huo Siyan could only try her luck along the street. Unfortunately, the weather was not good, and the rain that had been brewing all night finally fell.
In order to see clearly the people waiting for the bus on the roadside, Huo Siyan had to roll down all the windows. The cold wind wrapped in drizzle blew in, quickly wetting her hair, cheeks and half of her shoulders.
Because she came in a hurry, she did not consider the sudden drop in temperature. The slight chill made her upper and lower teeth chatter, and her delicate and quiet little face turned pale.
But Huo Siyan did not retreat at all. Her almond-shaped eyes scanned the roadside back and forth, not missing any possibility.
Finally, her hard work paid off. Half a quarter of an hour before six o'clock, she finally spotted Xu Kun's tall and burly figure.
Huo Siyan was so excited that she quickly rolled up the window, parked the Alto at a corner where it was convenient for spying, and turned the wipers to the highest speed.
Not long after, a Buick GL8 stopped in front of Xu Kun. The side sliding door opened with a bang, revealing Ge's signature bald head: "Xiao Xu, come on up."
Xu Kun was stunned, because in addition to Ge You, there was also old man Ge Cunzhuang and two middle-aged men in white coats in the car.
What kind of number is this?
The old man also wants the crew to make a cameo appearance?
So what are these two people in white coats doing?
At this time, old man Ge Cunzhuang also leaned over and waved at him, "Come up first, we'll talk later."
Only then did Xu Kun put away his umbrella, lowered his head and got into the car.
After they were seated, Ge You introduced them with a smile: "These two are comrades from the Market Supervision Administration. I specially asked them to come with us back to our hometown."
Hearing the words "Market Supervision and Administration Bureau" and looking at the white coats on the two men, Xu Kun immediately understood what was going on.
No wonder I always felt like something was wrong, it turned out that Ge You’s invitation to me to make a cameo appearance was fake, and the real purpose was to go back to my hometown for a surprise attack!
Come to think of it, this is normal. Even if one wants to contribute to his hometown, one must first make sure there are no hidden dangers. Otherwise, once the advertising endorsement is released, if problems such as serious excessive pesticide residues are found, the Ge family will be in big trouble.
"Uncle Ge, you..."
Xu Kun had a conflicted look on his face. If a good result was found, everyone would be happy. But if a problem was found, and the plan to sell vegetables in the capital was ruined, wouldn't he, as the guide, be scolded to death by his fellow villagers?
Ge You reached out and patted Xu Kun on the shoulder, apologetically saying, "I'm sorry, Xiao Xu, I just want to understand the details before discussing the endorsement. No matter what the result of this trip to my hometown is, I will set up a table for you to apologize to you later."
Ge Cun Zhuang, who was standing by, also echoed.
Since both father and son had adopted such a humble attitude, what else could Xu Kun say? He could only grit his teeth and act as a guide for once.
And after GL8 slowly got on the road.
Huo Siyan, who was sitting in the Alto, was also waving her fists excitedly.
It can’t be wrong, it can’t be wrong!
Although it was not particularly clear in the rain, the image of the father and son was so vivid that Huo Siyan could guarantee that she was not mistaken.
Even the reclusive old man Ge Cunzhuang came in the rain to pick up Xu Kun in person. Could this be an ordinary relationship? !
