Chapter 179 - 179 Ban (3)
179 Ban (3)
The lighting technician turned on the big lights used for filming. In an instant, the entire space became several times brighter.
The makeup artist also rushed out of the dressing room, but Xu Kun stopped him. Then, he said lazily and loudly, “What’s the hurry? I haven’t had breakfast yet! I’m not used to putting on makeup when I’m hungry.”
When the makeup artist heard his words, he was furious.
This was the first time he had seen such a big shot.
However, for the sake of the filming process, he still suppressed the anger in his heart and negotiated with him nicely. “How about this? Isn’t it going to take some time to prepare breakfast? I’ll use this time to put on your makeup first. When you eat breakfast, I’ll tidy your hair. What do you think?”
It could be said that this was the greatest concession the makeup artist could make during a shoot.
This way, it would not waste time and would not affect their progress. Xu Kun could even eat his fill. It was simply a good way to kill three birds with one stone.
Xu Kun sat on the chair and rolled his eyes at the makeup artist. His tone was filled with impatience. “I told you to put on makeup after I’ve eaten!”
The general manager looked at Xu Kun’s stubborn expression and discussed, “In that case, can you eat bread to fill your stomachs first?”
Ye Meng looked at the time at the side. It was almost 11 am.
If this continued, it would definitely be past lunchtime by the time the filming was over. It was fine if she was hungry, but her brother was still growing. He had to eat three meals on time.
At the thought of this, Ye Meng also walked out and tried to smooth things over. “It’s almost 11 am. Can we finish filming the advertisement first? Then, I’ll treat everyone to lunch. It should be very fast.”
“What are you rushing me for? Don’t you understand human language?! I already said that I want to eat breakfast first!” Xu Kun was already angry and reprimanded everyone.
The general manager simply exploded.
There were so many people discussing with him nicely, but he couldn’t listen, right?
“If you don’t want to film, don’t. There’s a limit to acting like a big shot!” The general manager practically gave an ultimatum.
Lingling Beauty was the party who had proposed the shoot and provided funding. Now that they were spending money to allow a young hunk to make such a ruckus, as the general manager, even if she was made of mud, she had to flare up.
When Xu Kun heard the general manager speak to him like this, he started to fly into a rage on the spot. “I haven’t even criticized you yet, and you still dare to say that? You guys are really thick-skinned. Do you want to freeload on my popularity for 20 million yuan?”
“Let me tell you, I only signed the contract with you that day without knowing! If I knew, I would have thrown the contract in your faces! 20 million yuan? Are you trying to dismiss a beggar?”
“After I sign the contract with Huayi Entertainment, not to mention 20 million yuan, even if you have 50 million yuan, you might not be able to hire me! Now that I say that I want to eat breakfast, you’re going too far.”
Xu Kun’s mouth was like a machine gun as he spouted nonsense.
The general manager’s chest heaved up and down. It was obvious that she was really angry.
She pointed at Xu Kun’s nose and scolded, “If you don’t want to do the shoot, get out!”
After the general manager finished speaking, he called out to Ye Meng and said, “I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you to do this advertisement alone.”
The staff had long had a very strong opinion of Xu Kun. Seeing that the general manager had spoken, they immediately took their things and prepared to film the advertisement.
Fang Xiaonan glared at Xu Kun as if she expected better from him. “Don’t be so impulsive. Since you’ve accepted this job, finish filming it properly!”
Xu Kun smiled roguishly and said fearlessly, “They’ve already released an announcement saying that they want me to endorse it. I don’t believe that they really dare to cancel it. If they cancel it, will the fans still be able to buy their things?”
Businesses valued benefits. As long as they could earn money, everything else was meaningless.
“My fans are all female fans. They can’t wait to save money on food and spend it on me. This is a huge consumer group. I don’t believe that the merchants are willing to give up on this group.” Xu Kun was very confident in the quantity and quality of his fans. He felt that no company would abandon him, their spokesperson.
Ye Xuan witnessed everything from the side, but when he heard Xu Kun say that he wanted to sign a contract with Huayi Entertainment, he was stunned.
This bastard actually wanted to sign with his own entertainment company?
This was simply an international joke, okay?
Ye Xuan walked to the corner without hesitation and took out his phone to make a call.
Xu Kun had originally made a solemn vow, but after waiting for a long time, he did not see the general manager or anyone in the filming venue come to talk to him.
It was obvious that the general manager of the Lingling Beauty was not joking at all. Instead, she was serious and did not plan to continue paying attention to him.
Xu Kun was furious and cursed.
“Garbage beauty companies like yours will close down sooner or later!”
“F*ck, it’s been so long, but no staff has been sent to visit us!”
“This is simply too much! I have to expose such a trashy company on Weibo. This is their one-sided destruction of the contract!”
Xu Kun was already cursing. Now that he was speaking without thinking, his words were even worse.
At this moment, his phone suddenly rang.
Xu Kun quickly picked it up and realized that it was a call from a variety show he was about to go on.
