Chapter 245 Happy Camp [Part ] Seeing Xu Kun's performance, He Jiong immediately bent over with laughter, then hurriedly trotted forward to help Xu Kun up, saying: "Haha, you are too funny, I didn't expect you to be such a domineering CEO - No, I have to wipe away the tears from laughing first." Xie Na crossed his arms and shouted, "Hey, hey, hey, the overbearing president is here!" He Jiong didn't respond, but asked more seriously: "Now that the image of the 'domineering president' you play has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, will this exaggerated performance in the form of comedy affect your image among fans?" "That's for sure." Xu Kun said with a smile: "Some fans could not accept the role of Pinggu Yidianhong that I played in "Wulin Waijiao". But I think that actors should at least sing the right songs for their roles, even if they can't be different. For example, the purpose of this episode of Happy Camp New Year Special is to let everyone spend the New Year's Eve happily. If I continue to act like a domineering CEO, wouldn't that be a hindrance to the party?" Xu Kun's biggest purpose in participating in Happy Camp is naturally to promote the movie, and he also achieves this goal by making jokes on the variety show and creating an image contrast to demystify "Meng Hao". Brainless fans are a double-edged sword. The previous human flesh search incident and the incident of a little girl writing a letter to the court on a bus have both sounded the alarm for Xu Kun. The real reason why he felt that he had to demystify 'Meng Hao' was the controversy caused by 'Pinggu Yidianhong' two days ago.
Pinggu Yidianhong, who is a martial arts expert but effeminate, is very different from the image of the overbearing president Meng Hao, and is even the opposite. Therefore, a considerable number of brainless fans expressed that they could not accept this image, and even refused to acknowledge that this was Meng Hao's counterpart. This is not a big deal. The real problem is that there is a statement that has recently gained widespread recognition among fans. That is: A Little Red in Pinggu was filmed before Kun Ge played Meng Hao. At that time, Kun Ge had not found his destined role. Now that Meng Hao is so popular, he will definitely not play such a strange role in the future. This statement even brought back many of those who refused to acknowledge "Pinggu Yidianhong". This is equivalent to absorbing the toxins that have been excreted back into the body and allowing them to expand and spread. If we don't quickly demystify 'Meng Hao' and kick these people out, by the time "Lost on Journey" is released, the backlash effect will likely be far greater than this time. People who cannot accept Pinggu Yidianhong will most likely not be able to accept the various bad luck that Meng Hao encountered on the road, especially the part where he was caught cheating in the hotel. Rather than waiting until then to be retaliated by crazy fans, affecting the film's promotion and final box office, it is better to detoxify in advance and let them leave in disappointment. That's why Xu Kun deliberately looked so charming and relaxed when he found the opportunity just now. After listening to Xu Kun's theory of acting with a thousand faces, He Jiong also said, "Then is your new movie, which you wrote, directed and starred in, also intended to broaden the path of acting with a thousand faces?" "Well, this doesn't count." Xu Kun scratched his head and said, “This movie and the TV series are closely connected. At most, it can only be regarded as a small step forward based on the character of Meng Hao.” "Would it be convenient for you to reveal the general plot of the movie?" "In fact, it has been mentioned more than once in the TV series. If I had to describe it, I would call it 'Meng Hao's Spring Festival Fantasy Journey'." Next, He Jiong used jokes to make Xu Kun and others reveal some behind-the-scenes footage of TV dramas and movies. After the film had enough time and space, the eight people stood on the stage and shouted out the movie advertisement: "Lost on Journey will be released on Valentine's Day, February 2. We hope you can support it!" The entire recording process went smoothly. However, after the filming was over, the director called He Jiong to a corner and whispered something with him.
He Jiong turned around and found Xu Kun alone, saying that the director was worried that the performance imitating Wu Xin would cause controversy, so he wanted him to confirm it again. "When Li Yuchun tried to change her image before, her fans could not accept it and went to the front of Tianyu Entertainment to protest, believing that the agency had coerced Li Yuchun and wanted to force her to succumb to the mainstream image. Later, Tianyu had to stop Li Yuchun's attempt and urged her to return to a neutral style - it was precisely because of this that the original plan was rejected by Li Yuchun, so the director inevitably had some concerns. " After hearing what He Jiong said, Xu Kun smiled disapprovingly and said, "I am not an idol, but an actor, a screenwriter, and a director. If I don't know how to make choices and do subtraction, I might really be coerced and forced by others." He Jiong nodded thoughtfully: "Then broadcast this part of the content as it is?" "Of course!" Perhaps it was these words that made He Jiong want to make friends with Xu Kun. When he returned to the capital, he deliberately took the same flight with Xu Kun and others. Along the way, the two sides exchanged a lot of experiences and thoughts in the entertainment industry. He Jiong is actually only six years older than Xu Kun, but because he is guarding the country's top variety show platform, Kuaiben, he has come into contact with all kinds of monsters, so his understanding of the entertainment industry is much deeper than that of ordinary actors. However, what Xu Kun envied the most was that He Jiong's life focus and work focus were always separate and in two different places, which made his life less disturbed and socialized. Of course, there will definitely be some overlap between the two circles, but they are definitely more relaxed and at ease than ordinary popular stars. Fortunately, the fans did not get the news in advance this time, so Xu Kun and others left the airport smoothly. When he got outside, Xu Kun discovered that the promotional posters made by Huayi had been posted at the airport entrance. At the top was the name of the movie "Lost on Journey", followed by a subtitle: Meng Hao's Fantasy Journey During the Spring Festival Travel Season. Below the text are half-length portraits of Xu Kun and Bao Qiang, as well as portraits of guest stars surrounding them. Overall it looks a bit gaudy and Baoqiang's smile is too exaggerated, but it's still good for attracting attention. Sitting in the seven-seater commercial vehicle that Chen Xuebin specially borrowed from Huayi, everyone finally relaxed. Jiang Xin, Wen Zhang and Zhu Yawen talked and laughed, and Xu Kun also chatted with Chen Xuebin about what happened in the capital in the past two days. “Didn’t The Promise stop showing a while ago?” Chen Xuebin laughed and said, “I heard that because of the spoof short film ‘A Murder Caused by a Bun’, the box office of ‘The Promise’ suffered a lot and was far from reaching the expected target. Director Chen was so angry that he smashed the TV at home.” "You just smashed a TV at home?" Xu Kun was surprised and asked, "When did Director Chen become so tolerant?" "Maybe it's because he's going to attend the Berlin Film Festival next month, so he doesn't want to cause any trouble." "I see." Xu Kun suddenly realized that for someone like Director Chen, winning international awards is always the most important thing. And if he really wins an award, he can also use the reputation to sell "The Promise" abroad, just like "Hero" did, where the loss inside the dam is compensated by the loss outside the dam. At this time, he noticed through the rearview mirror that Liu Shishi was a little unhappy, so he turned around and asked, "What's wrong? Is she psychologically traumatized by the threatening letter?" "No, it's not!" Liu Shishi hurriedly shook her head to deny it, and then added: "I just feel a little depressed staying at home all day." It sounds like this is a temporary excuse. However, Xu Kun did not intend to expose her, but suggested: "Why not go out for a walk before the New Year? Jiang Xin, do you want to go? Whatever you spend will be reimbursed from the crew account." Although this is against the rules, but "Boss" is so popular that the investors will definitely not care about this little thing.
"real?!" Jiang Xin was overjoyed: "If I buy a car for a self-driving tour, will you reimburse the money for the car?!" Xu Kun silently raised his middle finger at her. Liu Shishi asked expectantly, "Brother Kun, will you... and Brother Wen Zhang go with me?" "How can it be!" Xu Kun flatly denied it: "I still have to be busy with publicity next." Liu Shishi was immediately disappointed. The emotion was visible to the naked eye, and Xu Kun could naturally see it as well, but he chose to ignore it. After all, Mr. Xu still has some bottom line. The girl is only 18 years old and obviously a more traditional type. The reason why she has a good impression of him now is mainly because of the aftereffects of being immersed in the role. Xu Kun was lustful, but he took advantage of an 18-year-old girl... Of course, if this girl couldn’t get out of her role and kept jumping out to tease him, Xu Kun estimated that he wouldn’t be able to hold on for too long. After all, he just has some bottom line, and he is not a moral gentleman. (End of this chapter)
