Huayu: From Prisoner to Movie King

Chapter 595: Marriage Defense War

While Li Yitong and Jin Chen were having dinner in the cafeteria of Beijing Dance Academy, Liu Tao also arrived at the door of Xu Kun's villa as scheduled. After calming herself down, she rang the doorbell with a smile on her face.

Soon the door was opened from the inside, revealing a face that had just been slightly adjusted.

"It's Mama."

Because they had filmed two variety shows together, Liu Tao and Yang Mi were familiar with each other. As they walked in, they explained, "Brother Kun asked me to come here. He said there was a script that was very suitable for me and he wanted to show it to me."

After hearing this, Yang Mi's eyes flickered slightly and she smiled and said, "That's really congratulations. Actually, Sister Liu, you are more suitable to be an actor, variety shows or something..."

Liu Tao nodded slightly to show her approval. She was indeed not very adaptable to the atmosphere of "Along the Way". If possible, she would rather film TV series and movies at the moment.

After entering the villa, he found that the hall was empty and there were half-cleaned leftovers on the dining table. Liu Tao pointed to the top of his head and asked, "Is Brother Kun upstairs?"

"I went to Brother Baoqiang's house next door."

Yang Mi explained: "Brother Baoqiang has a scene and wants Brother Kun to help him think about it."

"Oh, then I'll help you clean up."

Liu Tao rolled up his sleeves and took the initiative to help Yang Mi clean up the mess.

While washing dishes in the kitchen, Yang Mi pretended to ask casually: "Sister Liu, I heard that the director's variety show needs to be prepared for a while. What if the TV series schedule conflicts with the variety show? What should I do?"

"This……"

Liu Tao was a little embarrassed at first, then suddenly became alert, glanced at Yang Mi, and said lightly: "It depends on how Brother Kun and Sister Yi Yan arrange it when the time comes."

Yang Mi didn't realize that she had revealed her true colors, and continued to guide her: "Sister Liu, I think it's better to decide early than to wait until the end and push it to Brother Kun. Otherwise, if it affects the talent show of the Youth Directors Association, it's no joke."

Liu Tao asked with a half-smile, "If I really can't handle everything, do you think I should recommend someone to replace me?"

No wonder the good-tempered Liu Shishi splashed tea on her face. This little girl is really crazy about becoming famous. She really thinks that others can't see through her little thoughts.

Yang Mi realized that she had let herself go, so she stopped pretending and told Liu Tao directly, "Sister Liu, even if there was no variety show, I would definitely be famous thanks to Dream of Red Mansions and Chinese Paladin III. I wanted to be on the variety show just to expand my network in advance - don't worry, when I get the resources, I will definitely return the favor!"

Liu Tao sneered: "Words are not enough, how can I know whether you will keep your promise?"

Although she joined this group relatively late, she had heard from other people that Yang Mi had the best relationship with Liu Shishi at the beginning, but later on they almost became enemies, and it was highly likely that Yang Mi backstabbed her sisters for resources.

With such a criminal record, how could Liu Tao trust her?

Seeing the undisguised suspicion in Liu Tao's eyes, Yang Mi was also full of helplessness. If possible, she didn't want to fall out with Liu Shishi in public.

But if she didn't do this, Liu Shishi would take her back to Shanghai to see Cai Yinong.

Right now, "Chinese Paladin III" has not been aired yet, and she has no capital to resist Cai Yinong. But Yang Mi has already won the leading female role in "Chinese Paladin III", so how can she be willing to be inferior to Liu Shishi and become the second in Tangren?
Yang Mi had no choice but to deliberately provoke Liu Shishi and make the conflict between the two sides public in order to delay time.

Back to the topic.

Yang Mi thought about it and said to Liu Tao: "How about we also sign a gambling agreement?"

"Betting agreement?"

Just as Liu Tao was about to ask for details, Xu Kun opened the door with his fingerprint and walked straight in.

"Coming."

Xu Kun tilted his head towards Liu Tao and said, "Come on, follow me to the study."

Liu Tao quickly gave Yang Mi a look that said "let's talk later", and then followed Xu Kun into the study.

When I entered the study, I saw more than a dozen resumes spread out on the table, all of them from pretty young girls. One of the resumes had the words "Yang Mi's roommate?" written in red ink.

Liu Tao then realized that Yang Mi was actually still a senior female student - girls nowadays are really precocious!

She asked curiously, "Brother Kun, these are all candidates for the heroine of "The Way of Heaven," right?"

"Yeah." Xu Kun took out a script from the drawer and handed it to Liu Tao, saying, "I think it's worth waiting a little longer, right? If you act well in this play, coupled with the show off the stage, your image as a good wife and loving mother will definitely be deeply rooted in people's hearts!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Tao couldn't wait to take it and look through it.

Not to mention, the name of this drama itself is very appropriate, it's called "Battle to Defend Marriage", and when Liu Tao saw that the director was Zhao Baogang and the male lead was tentatively scheduled to be Tong Dawei, he became even more excited.

She couldn't help but hugged Xu Kun and said, "Brother Kun, don't worry, I will definitely behave well and will never embarrass you!"

Xu Kun patted her on the buttocks with his backhand: "I don't care. Anyway, I will be the one who suffers if I mess up the performance."

After Liu Tao calmed down a little, he thought of Yang Mi's suggestion and asked, "When will the filming of this drama start? Will it conflict with the talent show of the Youth Directors Association?"

"This one……"

Xu Kun had never really thought about this problem before. The director audition involves a wide range of aspects and a complicated process, and it also has considerable political significance, so the Youth Directors Association is committed to the practice of continuous improvement. It would be good enough to enter the semi-finals by the end of the year.

If it collides with "Marriage Defense War"...

"So what do you think?"

"I?"

Liu Tao didn't expect Xu Kun to directly ask for her opinion, but she hadn't reached a deal with Yang Mi yet, so she naturally couldn't recommend Yang Mi directly.

But if I say that I haven't thought it through or have no idea, and Brother Kun makes the final decision directly, then the deal will not be able to go on.

Liu Tao couldn't help but secretly regret his quick words.

But it was too late to regret it now. She thought about it for a long time and suddenly gritted her teeth and said, "For me, the TV series is definitely more important. Even if the schedule doesn't conflict, I would rather concentrate on figuring out the role."

Xu Kun nodded in satisfaction and said, "It's good that you have this awareness. Fine then, I will arrange for someone else to be the supporting actor."

"Actually, Huang Yi is quite suitable."

Liu Tao boldly recommended: "Let's not talk about her acting skills first. She just appeared in a variety show this time and her popularity overshadowed everyone else."

Compared to Yang Mi, who is likely to throw a meat bun at a dog, Liu Tao has more confidence in Huang Yi.

Moreover, she had said before that she and Huang Yi would "help each other and meet at the top", and now she has preliminarily fulfilled her promise.

Another reason for choosing Huang Yi was that Liu Tao was unwilling to be inferior to others - Jiang Yiyan was fine, as no one could shake her position for the time being, but why were little girls like Yang Mi and Zhao Liying able to climb over her and Huang Yi?
As long as she and Huang Yi truly form an alliance, she will have the opportunity to become a force of her own in the future.

"Huang Yi?"

Xu Kun thought about it and said indifferently: "I'll think about it."

At this time, Yang Mi's voice came from outside: "Brother Kun, Sister Yi Yan is back."

"What are you shouting~"

Jiang Yiyan followed closely and scolded him, then walked into the study and said, "Brother Kun, Xiong Naijin seems to have a mental problem, but after Wu Kebo listened to the recording, he promised to take good care of her."

When Xiong Naijin's plan failed, he began to turn the tables and harass Gan Wei, crying and making a fuss on the phone all day long.

Gan Wei originally wanted to ask her out for a frank talk, but after hearing about it, Xu Kun said that instead of talking to Xiong Naijin, it would be better to talk directly to Wu Kebo of Orange Sky Entertainment.

So this afternoon, Jiang Yiyan accompanied Gan Wei to meet Wu Kebo.

"Are you really crazy?"

Xu Kun was both surprised and not too surprised. After all, there are many people in the circle who are desperate to become famous.

Jiang Yiyan explained: "I'm not crazy yet, I just like to get stuck in extremes and won't listen to advice."

While the two were talking, Yang Mi also followed in quietly. After entering the room, she first gave Liu Tao a wink, and Liu Tao immediately looked away.
