Dali is so touristy that the ancient city at the end of August can already be described as deserted.
Zhang Yuanjun invited Liu Yifei to eat mushroom soup hot pot.
"Still eating this!" Liu Yifei was unwilling. She ate mushrooms on the first day she came to Dali. "Xiao Zhao said you ate mushrooms three or four times a week in Yunnan Province."
"It's delicious. Mushrooms are a delicacy. Outside of Yunnan Province, you can't eat such authentic mushrooms."
"Thanks to your family for opening such a big restaurant, it feels like you have never eaten there."
"I really don't eat much of this stuff. My family specializes in Jiangnan cuisine, and the mushrooms in Jiangnan are different from the mushrooms in Yunnan Province. Let's go. I come to this shop often, and the boss is very nice."
The two asked for a small private room, ordered food, and when the pot was cooked and served, Zhang Yuanjun first filled a bowl of soup with his own bowl and handed it to Liu Yifei. Liu Yifei took it, and Zhang Yuanjun took her bowl and filled it for himself. .
"Yeah, it tastes good." Liu Yifei said.
"Right." Zhang Yuanjun continued, "The first time I came to this restaurant, I made a joke. When all the dishes were served, the waiter saw that I was from out of town and asked me if I could eat mushrooms. I said that I Yes, you can put the dishes down and leave. The waiter refused to leave and said that the mushrooms are easily poisoned if they are not cooked well. He had to wait until the pot was hot before leaving. I said that I had eaten mushrooms for more than ten times in Yunnan Province and knew how to eat them. The waiter refused. Agree, it’s you outsiders who I’m guarding against. Then lock the pot.”
"Hahahaha!" Liu Yifei was amused by this experience, "I'm guarding against outsiders like you who think you know how to eat."
Zhang Yuanjun was unconvinced: "I've been eating it for so long, so it's okay."
The two of them ate and drank, and Zhang Yuanjun said that the filming of "Love Has an Afterlife" was very hard: "This film will definitely lose money, and it will be difficult for Teacher Yu to handle it."
Liu Yifei talked about her life on the set of "The King of Kung Fu" and said that Jackie Chan took good care of her. Finally, she said: "Huayi said that I broke the rules and wanted me to sign with their company."
"Ignore him," Zhang Yuanjun said, eating a piece of beef. "I'm scaring you. The editing rights of "The King of Kung Fu" are not in Huayi's hands, and they can't do anything to you."
Liu Yifei's salary is not tied to Huayi, and the editing of the movie is not under Huayi's control. Why should Liu Yifei listen to Huayi?
"Then what if they ban me?" Liu Yifei actually thought about this question, "After all, they are the leader in the country."
The domestic market is different from South Korea. The Korean film industry is monopolized by the Big Four, and the music industry is monopolized by SM and other major music companies. In the Korean market, there is a very thick wall between singing and acting, so the Korean entertainment market can really be thorough. Block a person.
But that’s not the case in China. It’s true that Huayi is the boss of mainland producers, but they don’t have the ability to ban a person. Because the domestic production field is so complicated, those who don’t film at Huayi include China Film, Shanghai Film, and Bernard and a series of other companies.
"Don't worry, they don't have the ability to ban you. Let's not talk about other things. You are now an actor in the National Theater. Based on this alone, they don't dare to do anything to you.
"Besides," Zhang Yuanjun picked up a meatball, "don't you still have me? Xiaoma and Guangxian call me every three days and want to cooperate with me. Are you afraid that there will be no filming?"
Xiao Ma originally didn't dare to make a movie, but after they had the courage to invest in "Famous" and made a lot of money, they tasted the benefits. Now they call Zhang Yuanjun's studio every now and then to inquire about new projects and say they support it unconditionally.
Guangxian also saw the huge profits from "Famous" and wanted to have a good relationship with Zhang Yuanjun.
"I have eighty if not a hundred scripts in my hand," Zhang Yuanjun began to brag. "Globally, no company can ban an actor who can write his own scripts."
In fact, Liu Yifei stopped listening to the part where Zhang Yuanjun boasted that he had a script. She was in a daze.
She was still stuck on Zhang Yuanjun's words, "If you don't still have me, I'm afraid there will be no filming."
Liu Yifei's heart was beating rapidly now.
When he said this, it was so natural, as if it was natural for him to write scripts for me and film for me, just like... just like doing things for his own family, it was natural and appropriate, and there was no trace of it in his tone. It was a joke, as if he was talking about something not worth mentioning.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhang Yuanjun raised his head and glanced at the girl opposite, "Why is your face so red? It's not poisoning, right?"
"Ah, no...no." Liu Yifei retracted her thoughts, "The pot is too hot, it's smoked."
"Drink more water if it's hot. Can you drink ice?"
"Okay." Liu Yifei responded casually.
"I'll get you some water." Zhang Yuanjun got up and went to get some water from outside the box.
Liu Yifei was left alone in front of the clattering pot.
Zhang Yuanjun unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it to Liu Yifei, and then said: "Let me tell you, don't think about banning or not. Take a step back and say, even if he bans you, why don't you just go back to the theater and perform in the play? You "Blind City" and "Tea House" are touring the country. Although you are the B role in "I Have a Dream," you still have to rehearse. These three dramas will keep you busy for two or three years. You have been doing it since you were in school. I didn’t take classes well while filming. At that time, I said I wanted to go to the theater to calm down and study hard, but now I think about this again.”
If it were in the past, if Zhang Yuanjun said this about herself, Liu Yifei would definitely retaliate, but today is different.
Today Liu Yifei felt that Zhang Yuanjun was advising her from a very close relationship, and she knew that what Zhang Yuanjun said was right. At that moment, the thought "It won't be wrong to listen to him" came into my mind.
Liu Yifei listened to Zhang Yuanjun like a good baby.
"When I finish filming "Love Is Afterlife", I will go on a national tour with "Luotuo Xiangzi", and "White Deer Plain" will also be scheduled. I also want to win a role."
"Our theater also has to arrange "White Deer Plain"." Liu Yifei interjected.
"Don't even think about it. You already have three dramas in your hands, and you still want to steal them from others?"
"I didn't say I wanted to play "White Deer Plain"." In fact, she wanted to play Tian Xiao'e, but she was embarrassed to tell Zhang Yuanjun because she felt Zhang Yuanjun would laugh at her if he found out.
At 9:15 in the evening, the two walked out of the hot pot restaurant and strolled through the ancient city of Dali.
The two walked side by side.
"Young man, buy a red string for your girlfriend to wear."
Zhang Yuanjun didn't explain, and Liu Yifei didn't say anything.
"How much does this red rope cost?" Zhang Yuanjun asked.
"It's 10 yuan for a bunch and 18 yuan for a pair. You two are so beautiful. I'll give you 15 yuan for a pair."
"Okay, bring me a pair." Zhang Yuanjun actually paid.
The old lady selling the goods also encouraged: "Young man, put it on your girlfriend."
"Stretch out your hand, girlfriend." Zhang Yuanjun said to Liu Yifei with a smile.
Liu Yifei pursed her lips and smiled, stretched out her hand and asked Zhang Yuanjun to put the red string on her.
Liu Yifei took another red rope and said with a smile: "You should also extend your hand, boyfriend."
Zhang Yuanjun glared at Liu Yifei, but still extended his hand to him.
"Look, this is so beautiful." The old lady selling the goods also liked it.
The two of them continued walking forward.
"Buy your girlfriend a bouquet of flowers."
"Your girlfriend is so beautiful, buy her a balloon."
"Buy a headband."
Along the way, Zhang Yuanjun bought a lot of things for Liu Yifei, all of which were bought for his girlfriend in the name of her boyfriend.
In the end, the two looked at each other and laughed.
"Why don't you explain?"
"What are you explaining? I run a small business and talk sweetly to make customers happy. Why do I do it so seriously?"
boom!
Suddenly, a firework exploded in the sky!
The sudden noise startled Liu Yifei, and she subconsciously leaned into Zhang Yuanjun's arms, her hands tightening around Zhang Yuanjun's waist.
Zhang Yuanjun's hands also hugged Liu Yifei's waist the moment she leaned into his arms.
Neither of them spoke, neither of them dared to look at each other, neither of them let go, they just leaned together and watched the fireworks in the sky.
After the fireworks were set off, the two awkwardly let go of each other and neither said a word.
But during the rest of the journey, I don’t know who took the initiative. The two people’s hands soon became entangled again, either holding hands, or Liu Yifei holding Zhang Yuanjun’s arm, or Zhang Yuanjun hugging Liu Yifei.
On the other side, Xiao Zhao and Liu Yifei's assistant invited him to the spa and to dinner, and even went shopping with him, trying every possible means to buy Zhang Yuanjun time.
"It's past 10 o'clock, I should go back."
"Why don't you go back? I'll take you to drink." Xiao Zhao said.
"It's really no good. Yifei hasn't even called me for so long. I have to look for her. If anything happens, her mother will kill me."
"Our Yuanjun is watching, what could happen?" Xiao Zhao said.
"I don't feel at ease even if your Zhang Laosan is here. If this was caught by a reporter, I wouldn't be able to explain it even if I have ten thousand mouths."
When the two assistants returned to the hotel, Xiao Zhao saw Zhang Yuanjun sitting at the table writing.
"You have to reimburse me for tonight's expenses."
"No problem." Zhang Yuanjun agreed.
Assistant Liu Yifei saw Liu Yifei sitting in front of the makeup mirror in a daze.
"what are you thinking."
"Ah, nothing, nothing, haha."
The fungus was laid out in the front, and I originally wanted to follow the example of "The Wind" and have a fungus poisoning hallucination to express my feelings, but as it was written, it ended up like this, but it's pretty good.
