Chapter 453: Snail House With a sigh, Xu Kun went directly down to the underground second floor. Director Feng Xiaoning had indeed arrived and was sitting in the lounge outside drinking tea. The reason for looking for Director Feng Xiaoning was mainly because he participated in the entire script writing process and was familiar with the entire story line. In addition, Xu Kun was afraid that he would not be able to grasp some delicate emotional parts, so he needed the help of this veteran to check them. As a result, when they really started editing, Xu Kun found that two people editing might not be faster than one person, and might even slow down the process. However, correspondingly, many things that might have been overlooked by him would also be discovered and pointed out by Feng Xiaoning, which ultimately reduced many minor flaws and improved the smoothness of the film. So for more than a month after that, Xu Kun basically lived and ate in Huayi's editing room. After all, the place had all kinds of facilities, and Huang Bin and two assistants were there to serve him 24 hours a day. If he needed anything, he just asked and someone would take care of it. It was more comfortable than living at home. During this period, many people came to express their condolences. The most common ones in the early stage were naturally Huo Siyan, Qin Lan and Fan Bingbing who signed with Huayi. By mid-June, the group Chun Sang Ji Hee also moved from South Korea to China to warm up for SM's family concert in advance, and also assisted SM's people in examining the young trainees who were about to go to Korea to study. After they returned to Huayi's practice studio, there was partying every night in the editing room. It was also from them that Xu Kun heard about Girls' Generation's Black Sea incident. At first, he heard that they were punished for verbally offending their seniors. Xu Kun couldn't help but complain about the senior-senior system in the Korean entertainment industry.
Later I heard that one of the reasons they were attacked was that there was a girl named Tiffany in the group. When she heard "Sichuan" last month, she found that the pronunciation was similar to that of a senior in a boy band, so she made a witty remark "Sichuan, Chansung" and then covered her mouth and laughed. Xu Kun's face immediately fell, and then he pinched Li Zhiyan's heart and asked, "Didn't you want to support the younger generation before? Why are you suddenly giving them eye drops?" "Oh, it's not us who are trying to deceive them, it's them who are trying to deceive us." After two years, Li Zhiyan's Chinese level has become quite good. Apart from a slight accent, daily communication is not a problem at all. She wrapped her long legs around Xu Kun's waist and made a lot of complaints. Hong Chengmei, who was taking a break next to her, also added a few words from time to time. Simply put, it is still a struggle for interests. Originally, after Tian Shang Zhixi became famous, he received a request from the company to lead juniors. He wanted to show off in front of his junior sisters, and he worked very hard at the beginning, so he gave Xu Kun the "gift". But no one expected that Girls' Generation would have such a strong momentum after their debut, and they were likely to overtake other groups. What was even more unacceptable to Ji-hee was that the Korean media defined Girls' Generation as the beginning of the second generation girl group. This puts Tian Shang Zhixi in an awkward position. There is a long gap between them and the first generation of Korean girl groups, and compared with their once very popular predecessors, their qualifications and achievements are still far behind. If you are classified as a first-generation group, you will definitely suffer a great loss. Originally they thought they would be the pioneers of the second-generation group, but who knew that this title was taken away by Girls' Generation. As a result, a rift developed between the two sides. Although they did not openly participate in the Black Sea incident, they secretly played a role in fueling the flames. Xu Kun did not comment on this. If it weren't for that inappropriate pun, he might have still remembered the friendship, but now... he couldn't even remember the names of the two Korean girls, so how could he care about all these messy things? Until the end of June. Xu Kuncai finally came out of the editing room and handed the finished film to the special effects team. Although he had to communicate with the special effects team in real time every day, he was finally able to spare some time to study the script of "The Sound of Wind". At this moment, Teng Huatao suddenly came to the door and carefully asked Xu Kun what he thought of Wen Zhang.
"Wen Zhang?" Xu Kun wondered, "Why did you suddenly mention him?" "This is it." Teng Huatao explained: "Double-Sided Adhesive Tape, which I filmed with Liu Haibo last time, received good response. This time I got another script from the author. I originally wanted Wen Zhang to play the second male lead, but Hao Lei said..." Teng Huatao stopped talking halfway, but Xu Kun roughly understood what was going on. He hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It stands to reason that I shouldn't interfere with your creative freedom, Director Teng..." “I understand, I understand!” Teng Huatao understood what he meant without waiting for him to figure it out. Although he felt a little regretful, he had no choice but to give up on Wen Zhang. After all, Xu Kun's influence is there. He is a ruthless character who destroyed a generation of Hong Kong entertainment circles. How stupid a person would have to be to offend him just for Wen Zhang? Not to mention that this drama is invested by Huayi, and the heroine is a member of the Teddy Sisters. Seeing that Teng Huatao was so considerate, Xu Kun naturally wanted to return the favor and asked if there were any difficulties with the film. "Don't tell me, there is something that may trouble you. The subject matter of this film is a bit sensitive..." I listened to Teng Huatao's brief description of the plot, which is basically about a pair of sisters and the various things they encounter and happen around the house. Xu Kun always felt that it was somewhat familiar, so he asked the name, and then he realized that it was the famous "Dwelling Narrowness". Of course he hadn't seen this movie, but he had heard of the drama and knew that it was banned shortly after it was released. Not to mention that Teng Huatao had just done him a favor, but just because Hao Lei was going to play Haiping and Jiang Xin was going to play Haizao, Xu Kun was also prepared to lend a hand. But how can I help? After thinking for a while, Xu Kun asked, "Where are you going to film this TV series?" Teng Huatao replied: "Of course it is the Magic City. The novel is written with the Magic City as the background." "That's it!" Xu Kun slapped his thigh and said, "After the drama is finished, you can broadcast it in Beijing and Taiwan. I promise that you won't encounter too much trouble." "Uh~" It's not that Teng Huatao can't understand the secret rivalry between the Imperial Capital and the Magic Capital, but the problem is that what he is really worried about is that this drama will not be able to pass the review and be broadcast. Hearing that he was worried about this, Xu Kun immediately promised: "Don't worry about this, as long as you don't deliberately cross the red line, this TV series will definitely be broadcast smoothly!" He made this judgment based on his later memories, but Teng Huatao felt reassured after hearing this. He immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Director Xu!" "What does this have to do with me." Xu Kun shook his head: "There is no problem with your drama to begin with. Instead, once it is broadcast and there is a public outcry..." "This... I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely strive to premiere this film in Beijing and Taiwan!" Teng Huatao didn't know if he had misunderstood something. He gritted his teeth and said this, and left not long after. After Xu Kun sent Teng Huatao away, he thought about it and realized that he probably really thought he was "all-powerful" and "had the final say". There is no way around it. With the prediction of the CD crisis and the Yan Z scandal, who would believe that he actually has no background at all, except for a few of his friends in poverty? Having encountered such things so many times, Xu Kun was too lazy to explain it, as he couldn't explain it clearly anyway.
