Chapter 294 Another Big Prize (710 extra chapters for average subscription)
…
The words may be rough, but the truth is there.
What Tang Jiping said is actually not wrong.
The reason why Dong Ye and other women followed me wholeheartedly and wanted to have children with me was not only because I was rich, but also because I was different and could do what others could not. Otherwise, why would women like Zhu Bing and Long Zijin, who had everything they needed, follow me? What kind of men could they not find?
The key point is that although Xu Kai seemed indifferent to what Linda and Tang Jiping said about the current situation of Chinese actors in Hollywood, or more precisely, in the world, in fact, as a film and television worker who has been in the entertainment industry for two lifetimes, Xu Kai actually empathized with them.
Identity and racial discrimination has existed in Hollywood since the beginning. Under the dominance of white investment bosses, people of other skin colors have been labeled as "inferior". From the film production end, actors of other races have been blocked by many obstacles, and Chinese people are particularly discriminated against, even worse than black people.
Although Hollywood has become much more open to this issue under the impact of the current film market, and is even afraid that the Actors Guild will express its opinions on racial discrimination, the inherent "xenophobia" concept of human beings still needs time to slowly dilute.
Moreover, Linda and Tang Jiping are right. If we want to change this situation, we must have an international superstar who can represent the Chinese people.
It's not that Xu Kai is conceited. Looking at the current Chinese film and television industry, there is really no one more suitable for this important mission than himself.
What's more, if Xu Kai didn't agree to cooperate with them, Lin Da and Tang Jiping would not leave. Not only would they have to pester them every day, but they would also have to provide them with food, drink and shelter.
There was no choice but Xu Kai could only agree to star in "The Chase 2".
However, because he was angry with Linda and Tang Jiping, Xu Kaishi asked for 50% of the shares of the production company, thinking that this would scare Linda away.
Who would have thought that Linda agreed without saying a word.
Linda's attitude seemed to be that as long as Xu Kai agreed to cooperate with them, any conditions could be negotiated.
In order to avoid people thinking that Xu Kai was too greedy, and also to prevent others from saying that Xu Kai was ungrateful, Xu Kai invested 30 million in "The Chase 2", making it look good on everyone and without any grudges in their hearts.
…
Xu Li: Uncle, room 322 upstairs is occupied by Ma Dongmei, right?
Uncle: Ma Dong what? Xu Li: Ma Dongmei.
Uncle: What Dongmei?
Xu Li: Ma Dongmei.
Uncle: What kind of plum is this?
Xu Li: Okay, uncle, you just cool down first.
Uncle: Okay.
After Xu Li walked out of the performance area, Xu Kai shouted, "Cut."
After twelve performances of "Happy Comedian", Xu Li's talent for humor was developed.
Although his performance is not exactly the same as Shen Teng's, the flavor is exactly the same.
The old man picked by Xu Kai from the extras is also quite capable, and his acting is no worse than that of the old man in the original version of "Charlotte's Troubles".
After taking a closer look and confirming that there was no problem with this scene, Xu Kai said, "Go, prepare for the next one."
Xu Kai no longer has to explain his ideas to the crew members or even compete with them in a battle of wits and courage as he did when filming "Ten Miles of Foreign Lands". Because of the halo of being the box office champion director of domestic films, when filming "Charlotte's Troubles", whatever Xu Kai says is what it means, and even if others have some ideas and make suggestions to Xu Kai, they have to discuss them with Xu Kai in a nice way.
This is one of the benefits of having a famous director.
Xu Li came over and asked, "How is it, big brother, is this shot of mine okay?"
"No, can I let you pass?"
Xu Kai added: "I was right about you. You are the material for the King of Comedy."
Although Xu Kai's words were meant to encourage Xu Li, they were not entirely without purpose.
You know, with the popularity of "Happy Comedian", Xu Li is no longer the unknown person he used to be, but a household name comedian.
Moreover, because he won the championship of "Happy Comedian", Xu Li can now definitely be said to be the most famous comedian among those competing contestants.
Of course, since Xu Li is Xu Kai's younger brother, many people also say that Xu Kai was behind the scenes and deliberately gave the championship of "Happy Comedian" to Xu Li in order to make Xu Li famous.
Don’t say that Xu Kai has never done this. Even if he has, Xu Kai would not have any psychological burden.
What is a star?
Celebrities are famous people who are well-known to everyone.
It's not sad for a star to be scolded, what's sad is that there is no one scolding you.
Besides, it is difficult to please everyone. There are 10,000 Hamlets for 10,000 readers. Who can be liked by everyone? So Xu Kai was not afraid of being scolded, let alone being accused of shady dealings.
The key is that Xu Kai also has the confidence.
This confidence does not mean that Xu Kai himself is very capable, but that Xu Li made Xu Kai proud.
Just yesterday, the Spring Festival Gala production team officially notified Kai Xin Maizi that the sketch "Should I Help or Not" created and directed by Xu Kai and submitted by Xu Li, Ma Lili and two other actors of Kai Xin Maizi has been selected by the Spring Festival Gala program team and will be performed on the Spring Festival Gala stage on New Year's Eve this year.
In other words, Xu Li is about to become famous thanks to the Spring Festival Gala stage.
That’s a big affirmation.
Xu Kai believed that once this news was released, it would be the biggest counterattack against those trolls who accused him of shady dealings.
After watching his own performance, Xu Li was very satisfied and prepared for the next performance.
At this time, Chen Ruoxi came over.
Seeing this, Xu Kai scolded, "Why are you here? I'm in charge of everything here. Just take a rest."
After hearing Xu Kai's caring words, Chen Ruoxi was happy and sweet! - Although it was a little different from the plan, Chen Ruoxi never expected Xu Kai to be so combative. In just over a month, he made six women pregnant (Anna was also pregnant after the test), but Chen Ruoxi was still very happy that she could be pregnant with Xu Kai's child.
The key point is that because Chen Ruoxi was pregnant with Xu Kai's child, Xu Kai became much more caring and gentle towards her, and he no longer showed his previous perfunctory and impatient attitude.
This made Chen Ruoxi feel more at ease and also gave her a deeper sense of belonging to Xu Kai.
Chen Ruoxi smiled and said, "It's only been a month, there's nothing to be nervous about. Instead of being nervous about me, you might as well be nervous about your most beautiful woman in China."
"The Grandmaster 2" has also started filming.
In order to accommodate Xu Kai's schedule, Yuan Xiaoliang and Xu Wenguang decided to shoot at a film and television base in Nanhai.
Because Zhu Bing got pregnant unexpectedly, Xu Kai actually wanted Zhu Bing to give up the role of Thirteenth Aunt, or let Yuan Xiaoliang and Xu Wenguang create a Fourteenth Aunt or something.
But Zhu Bing disagreed. She insisted on acting herself, saying that her child was still young and would not affect her filming.
Moreover, Zhu Bing also said that this would also allow her and Xu Kai's children to accompany her and Xu Kai in acting in the movie they collaborated on, which would be very memorable.
Zhu Bing said so, and the baby in her belly does not have much impact on her now.
So Xu Kai agreed to let Zhu Bing play in "The Grandmaster 2".
Xu Kai did not discuss Zhu Bing's willful mood with Chen Ruoxi, so he asked Chen Ruoxi directly: "Why did you come here to see me instead of resting in the hotel or on the beach to take care of your pregnancy?"
Seeing that Xu Kai wanted to talk to her about serious matters, Chen Ruoxi also changed the subject and said, "It's not that I want to find you, but Sister Yuanyuan wants to see you."
