I really don't want to be in the entertainment industry.

Chapter 238 Drink It Up (Monthly Pass Plus Update!)
...

"The whole time?"

To be honest, Xu Kai, who doesn't like drinking, actually doesn't like hearing this.

But Xu Kai knew very clearly that he had to drink today's drink no matter what.

First of all, of course, I have something to ask for from Zhao Laogen, and it is impossible to do anything against Zhao Laogen.

Furthermore, an old artist like Zhao Laogen who has a high status in the circle invited Xu Kai to drink with Xu Kai at his home because he thought highly of Xu Kai. Otherwise, Xu Kai might not even see Zhao Laogen Let alone sitting at the same table drinking with Zhao Laogen.

So Xu Kai smiled and said, "Okay, on time."

"How much can you drink?" Zhao Laogen asked while pouring wine for Xu Kai.

Xu Kai remembered a very classic joke, so he stretched out his left hand and put away his middle finger at the same time.

"What do you mean, you can drink four taels?" Zhao Laogen asked.

"Drink without a middle finger." Xu Kai said with a smile, and then asked Zhao Laogen: "How old are you? How much can you drink?"

Xu Kai thought that Zhao Laogen would stick out a finger and say, "I can drink all the time."

But the result is that Zhao Laogen said: "I won a car by drinking many years ago..."

Here's the thing.

Once Zhao Laogen went to perform in a certain place in Qilu, and the organizer entertained him for dinner.

During the meal, the boss of the organizer said that no one could drink him down after so many years.

Zhao Laogen said that wherever he went these years, no one could drink him well.

The two started to drink.

While drinking, the boss of the organizer said that he had a new car, and said to Zhao Laogen, if you drink down, the performance will be considered a charity performance, and if I drink down, my new car that has not been registered I'm sending you off.

Zhao Laogen agreed.

As a result, Zhao Laogen and the boss of the organizer drank seven bottles of liquor in total, and then the boss of the organizer went to the hospital after drinking, and Zhao Laogen went to the performance after drinking.

In the end, the car Zhao Laogen drove away. Of course, Zhao Laogen didn't ask for the performance fee.

The two chatted and drank.

After a while, the two drank five bottles of liquor.

Seeing that Xu Kai is really capable in drinking, he doesn't pinch shares at all, and since he came here, Xu Kai's performance has satisfied Zhao Laogen, so Zhao Laogen took the initiative to ask Xu Kai: "Brother, what can you do with my brother?"

Xu Kai immediately hit the snake with the stick: "Brother, I want to make a "Happy Comedian"."

"Right now, singing shows fill the TV screens. It's too simple. I think the vitality of singing reality shows has reached its peak, so what I want to do is a comedy show that survives in the cracks."

"Specifically, I want to create a comedy platform for Chinese comedians, not just sketches, but also cross talk, body, and various forms."

"Of course, the main body is still sketches. After all, in Huaguo, the audience still thinks sketches are comedies."

"In addition, due to various reasons, the Spring Festival Gala has brought too much confinement to the audience, so I am going to play things that cannot be played in the Spring Festival Gala on this stage, subverting the Spring Festival Gala comedy."

"And if I want to do this, I must be inseparable from your support, old brother."

After listening to Zhao Laogen, he said noncommittally: "You have also seen the lessons learned by Lao Zhang, how dare you touch comedy?"

"I'm different from him. He doesn't understand. Artistic films have a high threshold and high reputation, but the public doesn't buy them; entertaining films have a low threshold and low reputation, but the public buys them; , I want to please the public, but I can't let go of the airs of an artist, I want to care about both ends, but I can't care about both ends, Director Zhang belongs to this last situation."

After having a glass of wine with Zhao Laogen, Xu Kai went on to say: "And I know that there are high and low, and if you want to be successful as a comedy, you must increase the entertainment of the film and reduce the artistry of the film, and pursue the interest of audiences of all ages. greatest common divisor of .

Although Zhao Laogen didn't understand the "greatest common divisor", he understood that Xu Kai did understand comedy better than Zhang Mou, and it was indeed easier to succeed in comedy than Zhang Mou.

Zhao Laogen raised a glass, and then asked: "So, it's fake that you're making "Happy Comedian", but is it true that you're planning to make a comedy movie?"

Xu Kai shook his head: "Both are true, the two complement each other and are indispensable."

Although Xu Kai didn't go into details, Zhao Laogen also understood that Xu Kai was going to do a good job on the platform of "Happy Comedian" first, and then use the platform of "Happy Comedian" to find the comedian he wanted, and then Take these comedians for a comedy movie.

"Since you know so much about comedy, why did you make "Ten Miles of Foreign Land" first instead of making a comedy movie?" Zhao Laogen asked.

"Oh, it's hard to say."

After taking a sip of wine, Xu Kai continued:
"Didn't I waste ten years in prison for ten years?"

"Not only that, because I have been in prison for the past ten years, I have no background and accumulation, no money, no talents, no connections, no resources, no channels, so it can be said that I don't have anything to ask for."

"This makes me only use what I can, and I have to use any means to open this difficult start."

Speaking of this, Xu Kai said apologetically to Zhao Laogen: "I will use your wine to apologize to my elder brother today. This time, I acted too darkly."

After finishing speaking, Xu Kai drank three glasses in a row.

Zhao Laogen met, had a drink with him, and then said: "Your attack was a little tricky, and you almost beat us old guys to death, but this is also a normal business method, and there is nothing to apologize for."

Xu Kai downed his glass and said, "I heard that you have a good relationship with Director Zhang, brother?"

"Not bad." Zhao Laogen admitted.

"When there is a chance, old brother, you can help me be a peacemaker. I will set up a table of apology wine for Director Zhang, and the three of us will have a drink."

Xu Kai added: "Actually, I really admire Director Zhang, and I don't want to make such a black hand against Director Zhang. It's really the reality that forced me there."

Then, Xu Kai didn't know whether he was looking for an excuse for himself, or he really felt something, he drank a cup by himself, and then said: "After all, my realm is not enough, otherwise, I won't be able to combine fame and fortune. It's so important."

Zhao Laogen expressed his feelings: "Who can underestimate fame and fortune so easily? Besides, it's too early to talk about realm when you are only young."

Xu Kai and Zhao Laogen talked more and more speculatively, and drank more and more wine.

Without knowing it, the two drank nine bottles of liquor.

Xu Kai still wants to drink again.

Zhao Laogen stopped Xu Kai: "Nine is a good number, don't pursue perfection anymore."

Of course, this is just Zhao Laogen's excuse.

The truth is, Zhao Laogen had a good drink.
