According to the route Chen Kun described on the phone, we walked for about ten minutes. Although it was already past eleven o'clock, the street was still very lively with tourists and movie fans. There were many small tents and large tents on the beach.
Some of them are movie fans who cannot afford the high hotel fees or want to save money.
Speaking of which, He Xin admires these foreigners and feels that they are all free and easy. They may not have a lot of money, but they can travel around the world with their backpacks on their backs.
But the Chinese are different. They think more about reality, family, life, salt, soy and vinegar. They shoulder more responsibilities and are more hard-working. In this regard, he has a little influence on the development of China's economy in later generations.
No one is surprised.
When He Xin pushed open the door of the restaurant with a big lobster on the sign and walked in, he saw Zhou Xun standing up and waving to him: "Here! We are here!"
This girl looked cheerful and smiling, but her blurred eyes and red little face showed that she had drunk a lot in the evening.
When He Xin walked over, he heard her saying to Chen Kun with a showy look: "I know that A Xin is an enthusiastic person. As long as you call him, he will definitely come over."
"Tell me, why did you call me here?" He Xin said helplessly.
Obviously, the moment he saw Zhou Xun, his original suspicion was confirmed - he was tricked by them again this time. In fact, he had been tricked by this weird girl several times when he was filming.
It's also his fault for not having a long memory.
But to be honest, even if he was fooled, he couldn't get angry every time. Because she never meant any harm, she just thought it was fun and treated you as a friend.
Sometimes, He Xin really felt that this girl didn't look like a Chinese girl. She was casual, free and easy, and had a view on love that he didn't agree with. She was very much like the foreigners who were wrapped in sleeping bags and living in small tents on the beach at that time.
Chen Kun said with some embarrassment: "Axin, this is none of my business. Xiaoxun forced me to make the call just now."
They both called him Xiao He before, but I don't know when Zhou Xun changed his name to Ah Xin, so Chen Kun also called him Ah Xin.
"Brother Kun, do you have any principles? Why do you do whatever she asks you to do!" He Xin sat next to Chen Kun and complained.
At the beginning, he had always expressed doubts about the relationship between Chen Kun and Zhou Xun. He didn't really believe that a man and a woman could have such a good relationship. It wasn't until Zhou Xun's scandal with Li Yapeng broke out.
It was all over the sky, and Zhou Xun himself admitted that he and Li Yapeng were close, and he finally believed that the two of them were really best friends.
"Hey, we are so kind! Let me tell you, the lobster here is great. I tricked you into coming here because I wanted to invite you to try it! Are we friends enough?" Zhou Xun shouted.
As he spoke, he raised his hand to greet the waiter, and at the same time instructed Chen Kun: "Kun'er, order one for A Xin, and get a bottle of red wine by the way."
He Xin quickly said: "I don't want it, I'm losing weight recently."
"Then drink some." Zhou Xun said again.
"Don't drink."
He Xin simply refused, turned to the waiter who came over, and said in broken English: "Water, give it to me, eh, Aswater."
The waiter was a little stunned, but Chen Kun helped him repeat it in French, and the waiter finally understood.
"Water, give it to me, uh, Aiswater! Cluck, Ah Xin, why are you so funny?"
The girl opposite imitated his tone and was made to laugh non-stop.
"What's so funny? You're no better than me!" the guy retorted unconvinced.
Speaking of which, they are really bad students. When they were filming, there were many French guys on the crew, and everyone also learned a few French words from them. Now Chen Kun still speaks in a decent manner, but now they both
I've almost forgotten about it.
After a while, the waiter brought over not only a glass of ice water, but also an open bottle of red wine.
"Are you still drinking?" He Xin looked at Zhou Xun who looked like a drunk cat and said in surprise.
"It's okay. I drank too much and I just went back to catch the jet lag. Besides, Kun'er didn't even drink much!" Zhou Xun said disapprovingly.
After saying that, he asked again: "Are you really not going to drink?"
This guy said proudly: "If you can't get used to drinking this, if I were Erguotou, I would give you a try!"
"Tch, with your drinking capacity, you still have Erguotou!" Zhou Xun said disdainfully.
Well, in terms of drinking capacity, the three of them combined could probably not drink the girl in front of him.
I saw this girl picking up the wine glass that had just been poured and saying with a smile to Chen Kun: "Chelsea!"
A scumbag is a scumbag after all, and it sounds very "coquettish".
Chen Kun actually has a good drinking capacity. After all, they can't drink too much when they are away from home. Now that He Xin is here, he has let go.
Based on this alone, Chen Kun can definitely be regarded as a "good bestie".
"You're losing weight just for the director's show, right?" Zhou Xun asked, holding her thin arm like a hemp rod and supporting her head.
"Well, I need to lose at least twenty pounds."
"You are indeed a bit richer now. No wonder Director Dai didn't dare to admit it before. Hey, have you finished filming your documentary?"
"It's a TV series, not a documentary." He Xin corrected him seriously.
"Oh! Last time I heard that the director of your drama was the one who shot documentaries. I thought you were filming a documentary, and I was wondering how you could take on such a drama!"
"Tch, just take a look, our drama is guaranteed to be a hit when it is aired in the future!"
"Television dramas with criminal investigation themes are really popular now." Chen Kun interjected.
From last year's "Black Ice" to the hit "Black Hole" at the beginning of this year, the ratings have been very high.
"I heard that you are going to star in Zhang Henshui's "The Golden Family"?"
CCTV is going to adapt Zhang Henshui's novel "The Golden Family". This news has spread in the industry as early as a year ago. Many young actors are flocking to it. But soon it was announced that the actor Jin Yanxi will play the role. CCTV has been waiting for it for a long time.
I fell in love with Chen Kun, who performed well in "Like Fog, Like Wind and Like Rain".
However, the undecided role of the heroine Leng Qingqiu has been undecided. At one time, it was rumored that Zhao Wei, Zhang Baizhen, and even the two popular Korean actresses Kim Hee Sun and Song Hye Kyo were selected.
Although the news of his starring role in "The Golden Family" has not been officially announced to the outside world, Chen Kun did not deliberately hide it. He nodded and said: "I will hold a press conference after I return this time."
He Xin couldn't help but ask again: "Leng Qingqiu is Dong Jie, right?"
"Hey, how do you know?"
Chen Kun was surprised because the actress who played the heroine, CCTV, had been hiding it from the outside world in order to create a gimmick, and would not officially appear until a press conference.
He Xin can't say that he still knows that Bai Xiuzhu is Liu Tianxian!
"I just feel that her temperament is quite similar to Leng Qingqiu's, and she is a prostitute, so she is very popular." He Xin laughed.
By the way, from the beginning with Gong Li to later Zhang Ziyi, Dong Jie, Little Yellow Duck, Zhang Huiwen, etc., the aesthetic taste of the national master has not changed from the beginning to the end.
"Have you read the novel?"
Chen Kun was a little surprised. After all, Zhang Henshui's novel was written during the Republic of China, and He Xin was not an educated person.
"Well, I just heard that CCTV was going to adapt it into a TV series, so I took a quick look at it, but we didn't survive!"
Although he knew that He Xin was joking, Chen Kun still said a little shyly: "I am also lucky. Maybe it is because the previous "Like Fog, Like Wind and Like Rain" is similar to this drama."
"Hey! Hey! Are you all ignoring me?"
Seeing the two people chatting enthusiastically, Zhou Xun couldn't help but knock on the table and pouted in dissatisfaction.
This girl is about to turn twenty-eight. In ancient times, she would be called "old" in two years, but she still behaves like a little girl. The key is that there is no sense of disobedience.
He Xin smiled and said: "Okay, let's talk about you. You rejected the director and were unwilling to play Yi Ling. What good projects have you received recently?"
"Wow! I found out why you, a man, are stingier than women? I'm just joking with you. You still want to retaliate in some way. You are talking about a man from the Northeast. No, I think you are a Shenghai at heart.
Well, my grandparents say Sheng Hai is awkward, but I think you are just a little Shanghai man at heart."
I finally stepped on her tail, and this girl exploded like a cat!
Then he warned sternly: "My grandparents also said that the building guide is called Lou Ye, not Lou Huohua."
He Xin immediately lowered his head and admitted his mistake and said: "I know, whatever the grandparents say is whatever it is."
"What about your grandparents asking you to change your girlfriend?"
But this time the guy said coyly: "Why bother with a nice girl? Besides, she's already the one. If she changes again, she could easily become a scumbag and get 404ed."
"Tch!" Zhou Xun snorted with disdain, but immediately said arrogantly: "I haven't accepted any books recently. I'm going to release a record."
"Release a record? Just you?"
He Xin looked surprised!
"Hey, what's your expression? You must know that this girl was very popular when she sang in bars in Houhai."
"No, if Brother Kun says that he wants to release a record, I will believe it. After all, Brother Kun used to be a soloist in the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe. But...if you take the risk, if your record comes out, will anyone buy it?"
"Hi! What do you mean?"
…
Brother Xun finally drank so much that he lay on the table and groaned, unable to even walk.
Although this girl was as skinny as a chicken, no more than eighty pounds at most, but looking at Chen Kun's small body, He Xin decided not to think about it, and consciously squatted down with his back to let Brother Kun hold it.
She moved onto her back.
The girl, who had traveled more than a thousand meters and weighed several dozen pounds, thought of it as just extra training at night. When she arrived at the hotel, to prevent accidents, Chen Kun called her assistant up to take care of her.
However, her little assistant was quite sensible. Seeing He Xin sweating from exhaustion, she kept thanking him.
After being noisy for a while, He Xin couldn't fall asleep after returning to the room. He flipped through the script of "Purple Butterfly" and read the "The Human State" borrowed from Lou Ye for a while. Finally, he couldn't sleep.
I worked until dawn, put on my sneakers and went out for a run.
Cannes is indeed a very comfortable city, with pleasant climate, fresh air, and gentle sea breeze. Especially when you go for a run on the beach with bare feet, step on the cool sea water, and you don't even feel tired.
He lingered outside for a long time before returning to the hotel to take a shower and change clothes, and then went downstairs to have breakfast.
I happened to meet Chen Kun who was looking depressed. Seeing his energetic look, the guy couldn't help but envy: "You are so energetic!"
"No, I haven't fallen asleep since I came back. I just went out for a run."
"Are you still running?" Chen Kun asked in surprise.
"There's nothing you can do about losing weight."
Chen Kun glanced at the plate in his hand. There was a piece of whole wheat bread lying pitifully, and then a glass of skim milk.
He admired: "You are really hardworking!"
In fact, when He Xin looked at the browned toast, fried bacon, croissant with cream cheese, and fried eggs on his plate, his mouth salivated rapidly.
After struggling through breakfast time, I heard Chen Kun ask: "What are you doing in the morning?"
"I don't know, maybe go out for a walk." He Xin said.
Chen Kun said hurriedly: "Let's go shopping together."
"Aren't you going to accompany Brother Xun anymore?" Since the two of them usually looked like conjoined twins, He Xin joked with a smile.
Chen Kun shook his head and said: "She was so drunk yesterday, she will definitely not get up until noon if she doesn't sleep."
After saying that, she rarely complained: "Actually, she doesn't need jet lag. She usually doesn't go to bed until four or five in the morning, which is similar to the normal living time here."
