Chapter 145 Guest appearance in "Home with Kids" "I plan to withdraw Mr. Pan Hong's film remuneration, seventy thousand yuan in total." Picking up the carbon pen and looking at the crooked handwriting on the note, Xu Kun felt ashamed. It seems that I have to practice hard when I have time. I don’t need to have any good calligraphy skills, but at least I have to be able to show my talent. "He~Sai…uh." Xu Kun tore up the note and wrote again: "To withdraw thirty-eight thousand yuan from Teacher Yu Feihong." Except for extras and special guests who are paid in advance, the pay for the leading actors and friendly guest appearances are all settled after the film. This system has caused many disputes, and even actors and crews have gone to court, but it has been used to this day. Originally Xu Kun didn't want to get involved in this matter, but yesterday Jia Yueting said that since you are going to come and thank him, instead of preparing some useless gifts, you might as well give the film remuneration to him. Xu Kun deeply agreed with this.
In fact, he received a total of 01 this time, and his single-episode pay barely exceeded Huang Xiaoming's in , but this was the total price for the protagonist + producer. Chen Xuebin secretly advised him to take more. As the saying goes, if you don't use your power, it will expire. If you don't make money, you are a fool. He dare not say how much more he can take, but no one will pursue it if he takes 300,000. But Xu Kun ended up only taking a pay that matched his worth. On the one hand, the more Jia Yueting valued him, the more he was unwilling to do anything that would make the other party underestimate him. Besides, compared with the difference of 120,000, the relationship with Jia Yueting is obviously more important. Secondly, 700 million of this was investment from his hometown. Compared with the difference of , Xu Kun hoped to leave a good impression and a good reputation on his fellow townsmen. Anyway, with the current trend, there will be plenty of opportunities to make money in the future - provided that "Heavenly Sword and Fairy" doesn't flop too badly. Probably not? Seeing that it was almost dark, Xu Kun stamped the crew's seal on the note and went to find Jia Yueting's telecommunications company. The money had been prepared early in the morning and was deposited in Jia Yueting's company account. Jia Yueting called last night. In addition, Xu Kun already had full agency rights for the 700 million yuan from his hometown, so the withdrawal of the film remuneration was naturally smooth. Then he hurried over and came to the filming crew of "Home with Kids". This is an indoor sitcom, so it was basically shot in the studio. When Xu Kun entered the studio, the crew was filming. Except for the bright area under the camera, everything else was dark. He didn't want to disturb the film crew, so he just sat in a corner and watched Song Xinxin and others perform. After all, it is a children's play aimed at children, so the lines and performances are a bit exaggerated and straightforward, but even though the overall performance is exaggerated, Song Xinxin's performance in it is unique. After waiting for about half an hour, seeing that the filming had come to a temporary halt, the stagehand took the youngest fat boy to pee, and Xu Kun fetched two glasses of water and brought them directly to the stage. Song Xunxun was rehearsing her lines with Gao Yalin when she saw a glass of water being handed to her. She subconsciously took it and said "thank you", then she realized something was wrong. "It turned out to be you, kid. You scared me." Song Xunxun punched Xu Kun on the arm and introduced him to Gao Yalin, "Xiao Gao, this is Xu Kun. How about him? This physique is suitable for playing a physical education teacher, right?" Gao Yalin is actually twelve years younger than Song Dandan, and only eight years older than Xu Kun. After hearing what Song Xinxin said, Gao Yalin immediately took the initiative to extend his hand and said, "I have heard of your great name for a long time, I have heard of your great name for a long time."
"Brother Gao, I've heard of your name for a long time. Did you hear it at the vegetable market?" While shaking hands with him, Xu Kun made some self-deprecating remarks, which made Song Xinxin and Gao Yalin burst out laughing. Song Xunxun immediately called out to the side, "Yang Zi, Yishan, come here, come here quickly—Hey, where's Haoran?" When the two half-grown children came over, Song Xun Xun put her arm around one of them and introduced them to Xu Kun: "This is my daughter and my son, Yang Zi, Zhang Yishan - this is brother Xu Kun, who is here to guest-star as Xiaoxue's physical education teacher." "I know, I know!" Zhang Yishan's eyes lit up and he danced with joy: "Han Yueping from Hengzhou is really good at chopping people!" The scene froze for a moment. Then Song Xunxun pinched Zhang Yishan's face and said unhappily, "Look at you, you've corrupted the children. No wonder the radio and television stations banned crime dramas during prime time." Zhang Yishan pouted and said aggrievedly: "Since he is the one who led me astray, why do you pinch me instead of him?" Everyone burst into laughter. Xu Kun reached out and touched the top of Zhang Yishan's head, saying with a smile, "This kid is quite intelligent." "That's right, my daughter is not bad either." Song Xun said: "If there are suitable roles in the future, don't forget to take care of them - Brother Xu Kun is not only an actor, he has also become a producer recently." "Please don't laugh at me. I'm just forcing you to do something that's not your fault. It's just for show." Although Zhang Yishan and Yang Zi still couldn't understand what it meant for such a young leading actor to be a producer, they knew that the producer was more powerful than the actor. After a while of excitement, everyone sat around the sofa in the center of the stage and started rehearsing their lines. Xu Kun habitually switched to the "Perseverance" mode. No one else noticed anything strange, but Song Xinxin was pleasantly surprised and asked, "Oh, have you mastered it?" "I've been using it every day on the set recently, and I've made some progress, but it only lasts for seven or eight minutes at most, so I can't use it all the time." "That's enough for filming. Try more positive roles in the future. We can't always play villains." "Isn't it because there is no suitable opportunity? If you encounter a suitable opportunity, you must think of me." "Then your new martial arts drama needs to be aired quickly, otherwise I won't know how to position you." If Song Xinxin hadn't mentioned it, Xu Kun really wouldn't have realized this. If the TV series were to be broadcast the following year after filming, it would have been difficult for him to position himself during the past six months. Play the leading role in "Heavenly Sword" and you will bring money into the crew, but people may not recognize your qualifications before the show is aired. Xu Kun himself was not happy about continuing to play supporting roles or villains. Maybe I can take this time to take a good rest, consolidate my network of contacts in the circle, and renovate the house I bought last year. After the guest performance, the crew paid for Song Xinxin to take Xu Kun to the restaurant next door for a meal, which was considered as the film remuneration. This is also a common practice for low-budget crews - Pu Cunxi did not receive any remuneration for his guest appearance in Tian Jian. After dinner, Xu Kun called Hao Lei, and then took advantage of the free time when Hao Lei drove over to follow the latest public opinion trends in the Internet cafe. After Jia Yueting and Cai Yinong reached an agreement, public opinion on the Internet changed again overnight, so fast that it was hard to keep up. Although many print media are also good at changing their faces, most of them will have a gradual process. It is not like the Internet, where they can just change their vests and skins and then ventilate topics that are completely opposite to the previous ones.
Many internet trolls were even shameless enough to describe what they posted yesterday as a despicable smear by a third party, and some even swore and cursed. However, the forum where online public opinion reversed the fastest was the Tieba forum related to The Legend of Sword and Fairy. The main reason is that even during the two days when the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" crew and Tangren Company were attacked the worst, most game fans firmly supported the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" crew. They even organized themselves spontaneously and went to major forums to clarify the facts. For example, on topics like "Yahuazi" and "transgender", you can see gamers criticizing or refuting rumors. Of course, the reason why public opinion was able to turn around so quickly was that much of the negative information obtained from Tangren Company had not yet been released. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to reverse the trend so quickly. From this we can see that Jia Yueting never wanted to completely defeat Tangren from the very beginning - Xu Kun had only briefly looked at the negative information, and if it really came out, even if Tangren didn't completely collapse, it would at least be seriously injured. The reason why Cai Yinong was in such a hurry to come to the capital was precisely because these negative news were enough to shake the foundation of the Tang people. As for a comment that was deleted for swearing, saying things like "the author is a moron and an idiot, Cai Yinong wouldn't do this or that for a TV series", it was completely the result of skipping the comments and filling in the gaps with one's own imagination. Checking IP address segments and copying press release information, these actions are aimed at Tangren, the company behind The Legend of Sword and Fairy. It has been clearly stated before that these will deal a heavy blow to Tangren. With such overwhelming public opinion offensive, how could it be possible that only TV dramas would be affected?
