Chapter 392 Goddaughter (Please subscribe to support!)
…
There are actually many rich second-generation celebrities in the entertainment industry, but there are very few who are as rich as the Martians.
The Martians have an extremely large family business. The most important thing is that their family really has a mine. Moreover, their family is a comprehensive enterprise group integrating precious metal mining, beneficiation, deep processing, new material research and development, energy development, real estate development, logistics and trade, investment management, and property management. They are definitely bigwigs in the capital world and have huge influence.
——Think about it, without some power, can you do the business of reselling gold and silver?
Because of the support of such huge capital forces, Martians can actually control a lot of resources, such as "Ace" - if it were not for the strong capital support behind it, how could the Martians, who have nothing, dominate a top variety show like "Ace"?
Guan Xiaoli has not been doing very well in the film and television industry in the past two years. It seems that after she grew up, she suddenly became unpopular in the film and television industry. Therefore, "Ace" is the biggest trump card she can hold now, and it is also her biggest asset to survive in the entertainment industry.
Therefore, Guan Xiaoli did not want to be hated by the Martians who could influence the production team of "Ace".
The key point is that what Guan Xiaoli just said was really for the effect of the show, and she did not mean to mock the Martians. It is really unfair that she is hated by the Martians because of this.
Just when Guan Xiaoli didn't know how to resolve the hatred of the petty Martians, a tall figure suddenly stood in front of Guan Xiaoli.
At this moment, Guan Xiaoli seemed to see a mountain that could protect her from wind and rain.
After taking a closer look, Guan Xiaoli saw clearly that it was not Dashan but Xu Kai who shielded her from the hatred of the Martians.
Looking at Xu Kai's tall and majestic figure, Guan Xiaoli's heart suddenly rippled for some reason! After Xu Kai blocked Guan Xiaoli behind him, he said to the Martian with a gloomy face: "Young man, you can be arrogant, but the premise is that you really have the ability to be arrogant, and you must have achievements that you can show. You have always called yourself a singer, but in my impression, you don't seem to have a song that you can show off. Or am I ignorant?"
The Martian was suddenly speechless after being rebuked by Xu Kai!
——The biggest weakness of Martian now is that he has been singing songs for more than ten years, but there is not a single song that is familiar to others. When people mention him, they only remember that he is very good at shouting. To quote a senior in the music industry, he can only shout and cannot sing at all.
Others didn't dare to talk about this in front of the Martians, but Xu Kai didn't tolerate the Martians.
This made the Martian's face turn blue and white, but he didn't dare to get angry, and even had to pretend not to care.
Don’t even mention how distorted the Martian’s face was at this moment.
In fact, Xu Kai didn't want to be so harsh to the Martians.
The Martian is really asking for death.
Let’s not talk about his previous attempt to step on Xu Kai to get to the top, after all, Xu Kai has already forgiven him. But the Martian is too self-righteous, can’t afford to lose, and has a bad vision.
The key point is that others are afraid of the capital behind the Martians, but Xu Kai doesn't care at all. His so-called wealthy family can't afford to offend Xu Kai - if their family is blind, Xu Kai has ten thousand ways to make them lose this capital.
So, when the Martians wanted to vent their anger on Guan Xiaoli, Xu Kai promptly directed the Martians' anger back to himself.
To be clear, Xu Kai did this just because he didn't want to hurt innocent people, not because he really wanted to protect Guan Xiaoli.
But what Xu Kai didn't expect was that his unintentional act touched Guan Xiaoli, who didn't know what to do.
The producer of "Ace" really deserves the capital behind The Martian.
Seeing that Xu Kai had said such harsh words, and that if these harsh words of Xu Kai were to spread out, they would definitely ruin the Martian's career, the producer of "Ace" quickly stopped the recording of the program, and then discussed with Xu Kai in a kind way to see if they could delete the segment they had just recorded.
At the same time, the producer of "Ace" repeatedly winked at Xu Li, with whom he had a good relationship.
But Xu Li also felt that the Martians had gone too far this time.
Moreover, the reason Xu Kai was able to come to "Ace" was entirely because of Xu Li.
The reason why Xu Li invited Xu Kai to "Ace" was, firstly, to clarify the rumors about the discord between the brothers, and secondly, to kindly help the Martian apologize to Xu Kai so that the Martian could make up for the most serious mistake the Martian had ever made.
But the Martians are in a different situation. They want to apologize but can't bring themselves to do it, and they also want to get back the face they lost. It's like they want to be a whore and also want to be a saint.
The key point is that when the Martians play this game, they have to decide who they are playing with. With Xu Kai's status, position and ability, is it possible for him to challenge him? Even if his father comes, he has to smile at Xu Kai, right?
The key point is that relatives are close or distant, and friends are thick or thin. How can the Martians, the producer of "Ace" and others be compared with Xu Li's elder brother Xu Kai?
Therefore, facing the look of the producer of "Ace", Xu Li chose to turn a blind eye.
Seeing that Xu Li was unwilling to take care of the matter, the producer of "Ace" quickly looked at Zhen Xiaoling.
In fact, Zhen Xiaoling was not willing to take care of this matter. Of course, the main reason was that she did not want to offend Xu Kai.
But "Ace" is already the biggest source of income for Zhen Xiaoling's studio, and Zhen Xiaoling really cannot offend the producer of "Ace".
Moreover, it should be said that Zhen Xiaoling actually gets along quite well with the Martians on a daily basis, and the Martians are just a little too self-righteous and don't have many bad habits.
Therefore, Zhen Xiaoling stepped out to smooth things over and said, "Boss, why are you arguing with a kid? He is just a little kid who doesn't know his place. How can he withstand the wrath of you, the Jade Emperor?"
After saying that, Zhen Xiaoling quickly pressed the Martian's neck and said, "Why don't you apologize to my boss quickly? With your little skill, you dare to compete with my boss. Where do you think my boss got his unparalleled fame and status? He earned it all with his own strength. How dare you challenge him?"
The Martian also knew that he couldn't afford to offend Xu Kai.
Before, the Martians just wanted to regain some ground and save their face.
Later, the Martians not only failed to get their revenge, but also lost even more face, which made them angry and humiliated.
But even so, the Martian did not dare to direct his anger towards Xu Kaifa, but instead blamed Guan Xiaoli who laughed at him.
Who would have thought that this would lead to a falling out between Xu Kai and the Martians.
Now, Xu Fa is angry.
The Martian also knew that if he couldn't calm Xu Kai's anger, his family might be implicated.
So, although he was very unwilling, the Martian still took the small slope that Zhen Xiaoling had set for him and said, "I'm sorry, Master Qing, I overestimated my own abilities. I am just a firefly, and I am not worthy of competing with your bright moon!"
After hearing this, Xu Kai glanced at the Martian, then looked at Xu Li who was standing beside him and gave him a look that said "forget it", and then he said calmly: "Boy, take care of yourself in the future."
After saying that, Xu Kai stopped looking at the Martian and instead turned his gaze to Guan Xiaoli, saying in a friendly manner, "Come, Xiaoli, come sit here with your father."
Guan Xiaoli understood immediately that Xu Kai wanted to protect her so that the Martians or the producer of "Ace" would not cause her trouble in the future.
Guan Xiaoli was smart and immediately came and sat next to Xu Kai.
Xu Kai looked Guan Xiaoli up and down and said, "You have really grown up."
Guan Xiaoli deliberately said: "No matter how old I am, I will still be your Princess Changle, father."
Then Guan Xiaoli said with a smile: "Well, father, how about you accept me as your goddaughter?"
"Goddaughter?"
Xu Kai was stunned at first, then he joked: "Okay, if you really want to, then you can be my goddaughter."
Seeing that her plan had worked, Guan Xiaoli was really straightforward. She stood up, walked to Xu Kai, knelt down, and kowtowed to Xu Kai three times. Then she raised her head and changed the topic, "Dad!"
Just like that, Xu Kai just went on a show and made a joke, and he adopted a goddaughter.
Because of Guan Xiaoli's wedding, a smile appeared on Xu Kai's face again.
Upon seeing this, the production team of "Ace" quickly resumed recording.
In the following recording, Xu Kai and Guan Xiaoli showed amazing tacit understanding. It was like you gesture and I guess. No matter what Guan Xiaoli gestured, Xu Kai could easily guess it. The two had a lot of fun.
During the Ace Megaphone performance, Xu Kai demonstrated to everyone what it meant to have a photographic memory - he only read the dialogue once and was able to pass on a 100-word dialogue word for word to the next person.
This surprised Guan Xiaoli, who had previously relied on her good memory to gain a foothold in "Ace"! At the Ace Talent Show, Xu Kai and Xu Li performed a song "Desert Camel".
What needs to be made clear is that Xu Kai didn't want to sing such a song, but Xu Li really couldn't sing any other songs, so Xu Kai could only accompany Xu Li to sing "Desert Camel".
But what Xu Kai didn't expect was that his and Xu Li's performance not only made Xu Li sing very happily, but also was pleasing to the eyes of others, and the show effect was also very good.
Guan Xiaoli, Xu Kai's newly adopted goddaughter, instantly turned into a fangirl. Her eyes were full of stars as she watched Xu Kai sing so beautifully. She then insisted on singing a song with Xu Kai.
Xu Kai thought about it and taught Guan Xiaoli a song called "Strong Wind Blows".
Unexpectedly, the song "Strong Wind Blows" co-written by Xu Kai and Guan Xiaoli became an instant hit on the Internet.
(The song "Desert Camel" sung by Xu Kai and Xu Li also became popular.) Of course, this is a later story.
During the recording process of "Net Fear", Xu Kai also announced that his new movie "Dying to Survive" is in preparation, with Xu Li as the lead actor.
Xu Li, who didn't know about this in advance, was also surprised. He then laughed, "No, brother, you're looking for me to act in a movie now, but you didn't even notify me? I'm a 20 billion movie star now, shouldn't you contact my agent first according to the procedure?"
When Xu Kai heard this, he said, "Then I'll change to someone else."
Xu Li quickly came over and clasped his hands together and bowed: "I was wrong. I will pack my bags and join the crew after I go home today, and I will pay for my own food and accommodation."
Amidst such laughter, the project of "Dying to Survive" was finalized.
Xu Kai has always been efficient in his work, especially when it comes to making movies.
But this time, Xu Kai slowed down.
Not only was Xu Kai very slow in casting this time, but even if he made the selection, he would not give in easily. For example, he required the actor who played Lu Shouyi to lose 20 kilograms within two months.
Moreover, Xu Kai, who was Lu Shouyi's candidate, selected 5 candidates.
This means that at least four of the weight losses were in vain.
There are other actors who were also carefully selected by Xu Kai and who had strict requirements on them.
Not to mention others, even Xu Kai’s mother Cui Min is no exception.
When it came to the lead actor Xu Li's turn, Xu Li almost quit the role.
Here's the thing.
After getting the script, Xu Li realized that Xu Kai did not ask him to play a comedy, but a drama.
Seeing this, Xu Li was stunned.
You know, for the past ten years or so, Xu Li has been following the comedy path that Xu Kai had planned for him to follow as a comedian. Moreover, Xu Li has also discovered that he is really suitable to be a comedian, and he also likes to perform comedies.
Now, Xu Kai, who had single-handedly sent Xu Li onto the path of comedy, actually wants Xu Li to come back to act in a serious drama. No, not a serious drama, but a tragedy that reflects realism.
How could Xu Li, who had never played a similar role, act in this way? The key point was that Xu Li was afraid that he would not be able to play such a role well, which would damage Xu Kai's reputation as the world's number one director, and then he would be guilty of a great sin.
So Xu Li said to Xu Kai: "Why don't you find someone else to play the role? I... really don't have the confidence to play the role of Cheng Yong well."
Xu Kai didn't say he agreed or disagreed, but looked at Xu Li and asked, "Do you want to be this 20 billion movie star in name only?"
As soon as Xu Kai said this, Xu Li immediately laughed bitterly. Didn't he also want to win a real Best Actor award?
Moreover, ever since Xu Kai stopped working with Xu Li, Xu Li's acting career has actually stagnated.
To be honest, Xu Li has starred in many comedy movies in recent years, but none of them can reach the level of the movies he collaborated with Xu Kai, not even one-tenth of their level.
Many people have said that Xu Li was no longer good after leaving Xu Kai.
Even Xu Li himself felt that he had returned to his original form after leaving Xu Kai.
In fact, Xu Li wanted to ask Xu Kai for a role more than once.
But on the one hand, Xu Kai was developing in Hollywood in those years, and was out of reach, and there were very few roles suitable for Xu Li in Xu Kai's movies.
Secondly, Xu Li didn't want to rely on Xu Kai for everything - he also didn't want to live under Xu Kai's shadow forever.
In addition, although Xu Li does not have good resources, he does well in variety shows because of his sense of humor. At least he has no problem supporting his family and the people who hang out with him.
This is how it has been delayed until now.
To be honest, Xu Li was actually very happy that Xu Kai took the initiative to find Xu Li for cooperation this time. He even wanted to return to his peak with this movie.
But Xu Li never expected that Xu Kai would ask him to give up his greatest advantage and instead play a tragic character.
Xu Li, who is used to playing comedies, really doesn't know how to interpret the role of Cheng Yong.
But Xu Kai only gave Xu Li the role of Cheng Yong and even provoked Xu Li with words.
There was no way, Xu Li could only choose to believe Xu Kai.
After taking on the role of Cheng Yong, Xu Li began to disguise himself and go to the magic oil shop to observe the owner's every move. Then Xu Li simply bought a magic oil shop and actually operated it for a while.
Moreover, during this process, Xu Li had been trying to figure out the role of Cheng Yong, and even completely put himself into the role of Cheng Yong...
As for the female lead, Xu Kai actually likes Zhu Bing the most, but he cannot accept the ambiguous relationship between sister-in-law and brother-in-law.
So, Xu Kai selected the best actress among a group of middle-aged actresses in China and asked her to learn pole dancing within two months...
Two months later, after sufficient preparation, the crew of "Dying to Survive" finally started filming...
