Chapter 39: Dog Licking Crew After all, he owed someone a favor, so Xu Kun had no choice but to bite the bullet and accompany Li Xiaolu in performing monkey shows, and then he received a lot of praise, which was not sure whether it was true or not. Sun Shupei was among them. After praising him, he threw a thin script to Xu Kun and asked him to familiarize himself with the role in the next few days and then shoot the related scenes after the actors who played the queen and Concubine Zhen were in place. Got~ This is too early. Having just gone through the training of "Blind Well", Xu Kun was interested in analyzing the script, so he not only took his own copy, but also borrowed Li Xiaolu's copy. It would have been better if I hadn't watched it. The more I watched it, the more I felt that this drama was extremely weird. Not to mention the stupid plots like blowing the nose, what Xu Kun found most unacceptable was that the drama tried to portray Cixi as a white lotus, or the kind of extraordinary woman who was open-minded, fair, courageous and kind. She could advocate for women's liberation and redress grievances for the people; she firmly supported the Qing Dynasty's reform and opening up and the study of Western science and technology, but she could also show leniency to the descendants of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom for the sake of the love of her nephews and nieces. This made Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Emperor Tang feel ashamed and cover their faces when they met the Empress Dowager. Moreover, the Empress Dowager Cixi, played by Lü Liping, would speak in Northeastern dialect every time she got excited. I don't know what this blind screenwriter was thinking. He insisted that Empress Dowager Cixi, who was born and raised in Beijing, should speak with a strong flavor of Chinese scum. As for Emperor Guangxu played by Xu Kun, he is quite consistent with the historical prototype. He has basically no real power. When Empress Dowager Cixi is in danger, he chooses to stand by and watch in accordance with his own position.
But because the drama whitewashed Cixi too much, Guangxu's behavior made him look like a sinister villain... Well, it seems that even if he played the emperor, someone couldn’t get a positive image. In short, Xu Kun regretted it after reading the script. He thought playing the emperor was better than playing the Japanese lieutenant colonel. Who knew that the degree of fabrication in this drama was even worse than the anti-Japanese drama. This is not a TV drama at all. It's simply mainland China investing, Guidao setting up the stage, calling on everyone to kneel down and lick the stinky feet of Empress Dowager and foreigners. This made Xu Kun want to run away. But he got into the crew this time because of Li Xiaolu's relationship. If he just ran away after reading the script, wouldn't he leave Li Dazui here in the cold? In his two lifetimes, Xu has never done anything so disloyal. Forget it, don't be ashamed of being a prostitute. Just make the best of it. You don't have many scenes anyway. Wait for the Queen and Concubine Zhen to arrive, finish the filming quickly and get out of here. So Xu Kun patiently found a nucleus for Guangxu that was ambitious but incompetent, and it was easy to fit all the fulcrums. But this is not a good thing. Instead, it proves that the character creation is too flat and there is no depth. Xu Kun originally wanted to dig deeper, but following the dog-licking script, he was able to uncover Empress Dowager Cixi's earnest advice and the young Emperor Guangxu's misunderstanding and rebellion against his "biological father". vomit~ The smell is really strong. Forget it, just let it be flat. This kind of made-up stuff doesn't deserve any good acting skills. I really don't know why Teacher Lv Liping accepted such a script. I hope she won't end up with a dishonorable reputation. At this moment, the door was pushed open with a bang. Xu Kun thought it was Prince Chun who came back, but when he turned around, he saw Li Xiaolu in casual clothes. "Oh, you're pretty serious." Li Xiaolu walked in casually, picked up the character biography written by Xu Kun and flipped through it, saying disapprovingly, "There aren't many scenes, why are you making it so formal?" He immediately said, "Let's go, I'll ask Li Chen to book a table for you to welcome me, and by the way, I'll introduce you to the young actors in the crew." "The one who plays the Seventh Prince?"
"Yes, that's him." Li Xiaolu said without hesitation: "He has been pursuing me recently. When I asked him to order food, he tried to find out about our relationship in a roundabout way. Hahaha, he probably thinks of you as a love rival." Xu Kun: "So what did you say?" "Of course I let him guess for himself!" Li Xiaolu said this, giggling like a chick pecking at rice. "Xiaolu, Xiaolu~" At this time, a young man's shout was heard outside. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be the Seventh Prince Li Chen. Li Xiaolu's eyes rolled, and she suddenly asked eagerly, "If I yell 'molest', will he rush in and fight you?" This woman... Xu Kun said with a straight face: "Then he must be the one who died." When Li Xiaolu couldn't help laughing out loud, Xu Kun rolled his eyes and said coldly: "And you." Caught off guard, the smile on Li Xiaolu's face froze. At this time, a young man poked his head in from outside the door, first glanced at Li Xiaolu, then fixed his scrutinizing eyes on Xu Kun, and said, "Xiaolu, it's almost time, let's go over there early." Seeing him staring at him unkindly, Xu Kun took the initiative to extend his hand and introduce himself: "Xu Kun, I play the role of Emperor Guangxu in the play." "Li Chen, the Seventh Prince." The hostility in Li Chen's eyes could not be concealed at all. He was not on the crew today because he had a commercial to shoot. But when he came back in the evening, he heard that Li Xiaolu had taken the initiative to drag a man around the entire crew. Although that was showing Xu Kun's murderous look, Li Chen didn't think so. When he held Xu Kun's hand, he subconsciously wanted to compete with Xu Kun. However, his strength was obviously no match for Xu Kun's. No matter how hard he tried, it was like a drop in the ocean. Seeing this, Li Xiaolu's eyes turned and she was eager to try again, so she stretched out her hand and put it on Xu Kun's wrist, pressing down, and said in a tender voice: "Okay, how long do you plan to hold hands? Let's go, let's go, dinner is the emperor's priority!" After saying that, he playfully punched Xu Kun on the shoulder and said, "I'm not talking about you, the emperor." This was obviously intentional, as it irritated Li Chen on the opposite side so much that his eyes were spitting fire. Not only did he not intend to stop, but he used all his strength. Then he kicked the steel plate, and Xu Kun's hand seemed to suddenly turn into a pair of pliers, which pinched Li Chen so hard that his face changed. However, Xu Kun only fought back slightly and then let go of his hand. Li Chen was frustrated and didn't dare to provoke him for the time being. He also felt that Xu Kun was annoying, so after he left the house, he said to Li Xiaolu, "I'll go call Lao Nie, Alexia and Xiao Wuzi." After saying that, he stormed off. Xu Kun watched Li Chen go away, raised his eyebrows and asked Li Xiaolu beside him: "Is he just being sentimental and misunderstanding, or are you teasing him on purpose?" Li Xiaolu raised her little face: "Guess~" Guess you are a big-headed ghost! Judging from Li Xiaolu's personality, it was most likely the latter, which was why the Seventh Prince showed his hostility towards her in front of her without any concealment.
This woman... You say she is a scheming bitch, but she is not that smart, and she is not doing it for any benefit, she just wants to create chaos in the world. "Hello~" Li Xiaolu suddenly bit a finger in her mouth, posed in a youthful and charming manner, blinked her big watery eyes and said to Xu Kun: "Do you want me to give you a fair chance to compete?" After a pause, he added a qualifier: "Only in the crew of "The Thirteenth Princess"." Haha~ It was obvious that he wanted to see a fight between him and Li Chen. I can’t stay in the crew for a few days, so what’s the use even if I win? Xu Kun decisively refused: "Not interested." "You have no interest in me?!" Li Xiaolu's eyes widened in disbelief, as if to say: I am the most beautiful woman in the world, how could you not be tempted? ! "Do not misunderstand." Xu Kun spread his hands and said, "It's not that I'm not interested in you, I'm just not interested in pursuing you. If I can skip the foreplay and the trouble afterwards, I'd still be happy to give it a try." Since they had decided to remain friends from now on, Xu Kun felt it necessary to be more frank. "Skip the foreplay and the hassle afterwards?" Li Xiaolu repeated what he said, and then spat, "Bah! You stinky bastard!" Then he said something shocking: "But what you said is true. If I were a man, I would definitely want to get something for free and not be responsible. Hahahahahaha..." After saying that, he held his stomach and laughed until he was bent over. Li Chen happened to come over with a few young actors. When he saw this scene, his face suddenly darkened even more. (End of this chapter)
