Huayu: From Prisoner to Movie King

Chapter 605 Tianyu
The day after Jiang Yiyan arranged for Jin Chen and Li Yitong to act as "undercover" in JD.com's customer service, Xu Kun also flew back to Beijing from Gansu.

This time, Chen Xuebin was still the one who came to pick us up at the airport, but there was an unexpected person in the team.

"Gan Wei?"

Xu Kun wondered, "You've been so busy lately, how come you have time to pick me up?"

"This is not a request from someone."

Gan Wei and Xu Kun didn't waste time talking nonsense and got straight to the point: "Hasn't 'Flower Road' just signed a contract with Mango TV? Suddenly they made a request and wanted to meet with you."

"Who?"

Xu Kun was a little puzzled. With his current status, he couldn't just meet anyone he wanted. The person who could make this request and persuade Gan Wei, the future boss lady of LeTV, to step in must at least be a deputy director of the Toilet Channel.

But he knew both the director and deputy director of the toilet station - they had dealt with each other when they were competing for the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor - so there was no need to make this request through Gan Wei.

"Danny Long from Tianyu."

Gan Wei said, "When you were filming "So Young", you guys also worked together indirectly, but you rarely went to the crew, so you didn't meet her."

"Why is she looking for me?"

Xu Kun was still confused. Although they had worked together before, Tianyu was controlled by Mango TV. With the support of the big platform of Mango, there seemed to be no need for them to take the initiative to get close to him, right?
"I don't know. Maybe I admire you."

"Haha~"

Xu Kun rolled his eyes at her and asked, "When will we meet?"

"It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. Let's do it tonight."

As he spoke, Gan Wei looked at the three bodyguards behind Xu Kun curiously and asked quietly, "Which one is the bodyguard assigned to you by the higher-ups?"

"The one with the scar on his forehead, and the other one is watching the surveillance at home."

The two came out of the terminal hall while talking and got into their respective cars.

Chen Xuebin then asked, "Danny Long from Tianyu is looking for you. Is it because of the matter of "The Way of Heaven"?"

"The Way of Heaven?"

Xu Kun wondered, "What does this have to do with them?"

"The actress you're most optimistic about, Zheng Shuang, signed with Tianyu last year in order to film the mainland version of Meteor Garden."

"Oh."

Xu Kun suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he suddenly asked to meet him. It turned out that he wanted to pave the way for his artists.

But Lao Chen seemed to be hesitant to speak, and it was obvious that he had not finished speaking.

"What else?"

"It's nothing. Jiang Yiyan has taken a fancy to Jin Chen and Li Yitong and is planning to sign them to the studio. However, she doesn't plan to interfere with you. She just wants Teacher Pan Hong to take good care of Jin Chen."

Tsk~
This is also the reason why Xu Kun didn't want to set up a film and television company in the beginning. He already had a lot of people to support, and now it was even more difficult for him to run the company.

"Why don't you sign Yuan... forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

If it was Yuan Shanshan who was signed, Xu Kun would not have to worry about it. After all, the performance of Yuan Shanshan and Zheng Shuang is not much different, and it doesn't make much difference whether to use whom or not.

But when Xu Kun thought about it carefully, he knew the reason why Jiang Yiyan did not sign Yuan Shanshan. It was nothing more than her dissatisfaction with Yang Mi, which continued to her roommate.

But in fact, Yuan Shanshan and Yang Mi’s relationship has never been very good.

But it’s too late to say this now. We can’t ask Jiang Yiyan to sign Yuan Shanshan as well, right?

Since it was already late, Xu Kun did not ask again: "Is there anything else these days?"

"It's nothing big. The Beijing Film Association, which is currently being established, wants to learn from us."

"Just handle this matter as you see fit. President Han has said before that there are too many disputes involved, so I won't show up if I can."

"alright."

Chen Xuebin has become accustomed to taking the blame for Xu Kun; half of his title as a gold medal producer was earned through this.

Return to the villa.

Xu Kun went to wash up first, while Chen Xuebin and Gan Wei went to Baoqiang's house next door.

Baoqiang is now like a possessed man, and Hu Die is in charge of the family. Chen Xuebin is worried about Baoqiang, and Gan Wei comes to find Hu Die.

After Xu Kun finished washing up, he also went next door.

When I entered the hall, I didn't see Baoqiang and Chen Xuebin, but I saw Gan Wei and Hu Die talking about variety shows.

Hu Die guest-hosted the show "Along the Way with Flowers" and her role was not very large. But now that the show is set to be broadcast on satellite TV, her hosting would involve certain regulations of CCTV, so advance communication is needed.

"Where is the strong man?"

"On the rooftop."

Hu Die stood up and said, "Brother Kun, you have to talk to him. If he accidentally falls down..." Isn't there a railing?

Has he become obsessed to this extent?

Xu Kun was full of doubts, but they were all resolved after he reached the rooftop. He saw that the originally flat rooftop was now filled with all kinds of debris.

A pile of firewood, a windlass well, a fence wall, a wooden door, and three rural brick houses drawn on the background board.

At this time, Baoqiang was squatting under the "old elm tree" outside the courtyard gate, talking to Chen Xuebin, who was looking up under the tree.

"Hey, when was this set?"

Xu Kun went over and pretended to kick him, but Chen Xuebin quickly stopped him and said, "Don't, if you kick him again, he will fall off the building!"

Baoqiang stood up holding onto the tree trunk, and asked with three parts of confusion and seven parts of excitement: "Brother, when did you come back?"

After hearing what he said, Xu Kun looked under the tree and indeed found a piece of hemp rope.

It seems that this is the tree where the brother was hanged in the play.

Xu Kun leaned against the tree trunk in a frivolous manner. He searched all over his body but couldn't find any cigarettes. So he picked up a branch and put it in his mouth. He tilted his head and said vaguely, "I just came back not long ago. What's going on? I heard that you are getting married?"

Baoqiang showed an embarrassed and proud expression, shook his head and said: "We even hired a band at home!"

"That……"

"Stop talking nonsense, both of you."

Chen Xuebin interrupted the two people's lines and said unhappily: "If we continue to act, do I have to play the guest role of your sister-in-law?"

Xu Kun smiled and said, "Don't mention it. No matter who plays the role of sister-in-law, they will be dissatisfied. If you come, you will definitely be able to calm the situation."

"Get lost."

"Hahaha~"

Xu Kun didn't care that he was wearing a custom-made suit. He just sat down cross-legged under the tree and patted the ground, saying, "Come down, come down. It's a rare opportunity for the three of us to get together today. We don't have anything to do. Let's have a good chat. We can think about your crappy play tomorrow."

Chen Xuebin hesitated and asked, "Don't you have a drinking party tonight?"

"Just call the person over here."

Xu Kun said, "We are now famous artists. How can we be called artists if we follow the rules all day long? Baoqiang has prepared some firewood. Let's spread some food and have a barbecue."

"Okay, I'll contact someone to get it ready."

Chen Xuebin took out his cell phone and was about to call to arrange a barbecue when he saw Baoqiang sliding down very clumsily. He was so angry that he kicked Baoqiang on the butt: "You are still acting, still acting?! Do you believe that Kun'er and I will hang you on a tree?!"

"No more acting, no more acting."

Baoqiang quickly smiled and begged for mercy, then scratched his head and said, "I still have to go to the countryside to find the feeling."

"You can go, but Hu Die can't take care of you - or do you want to give your parents a surprise?"

"Isn't there an assistant..."

"I'll take leave and go with him."

As they were talking, Gan Wei and Hu Die also came to the rooftop. Hu Die smiled and said, "When the time comes, just tell the station that we are going on a honeymoon in advance."

Several people worked together and quickly cleared a space. Soon the barbecue grill and processed ingredients were brought over.

At first Xu Kun wanted to build a pile of firewood, but later he heard Hu Die say that if he saw an open flame, he should call the fire department, so he had to switch to purchased charcoal.

When Gan Wei heard that Xu Kun was going to meet Long Danny here, he didn't find it strange at all. After all, there were countless celebrities in the circle who liked to show off their personalities.

It's not a strange thing to invite people to have a barbecue under the crooked tree on the rooftop.

After receiving the call, Long Danny rushed over quickly. He was also a very presentable person and praised the half-cooked barbecued meat highly. Xu Kun herself didn't want to eat it, she was chewing it with such relish.

Then, as expected, Long Danny suggested that he and Xu Kun go downstairs to have a private chat.

Although Xu Kun did not refuse, he was thinking about how to reject her politely - the fact that Jiang Yiyan had signed a contract with Jin Chen could not be concealed, so he had to do some preparation in advance.

Who knew that when they got downstairs, Long Danny's first words were: "Actually, I have already discussed this with Miss Jiang, but she insisted that you, Director Xu, make the decision."

Have you communicated with Jiang Yiyan?
What is there to communicate about this three-choice issue?

Didn’t Jiang Yiyan sign Jin Chen in order to get the leading female role in “The Way of Heaven”?
"Is such that."

Long Danny continued, "For some reason, we don't really want Zheng Shuang to get the leading female role in The Way of Heaven. It would be best if we could eliminate her in the final stages."

what? !

Xu Kun was stunned at first, then suddenly realized: "Is that girl difficult to lead?"

Seeing that Xu Kun had guessed it, Long Danny nodded and said, "We only discovered this when we were filming last year. This girl is quite wild, so we are worried that after she gets the female lead in "The Way of Heaven", she will break the contract and switch jobs - then our investment in "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together" will be greatly reduced."
