Chapter 854: The wishes take the bait

9days ago Celebrity fiction 8
Forbidden City, by the moat.

A taxi stopped outside Sihexuan, and a young woman with long hair and dressed up in the car.

This woman is Chen Hong. She was carrying an LV bag and a pair of toad mirrors on her nose. She walked into the quaint door of Sihexuan.

Sihexuan was the only high-end Western restaurant in the capital that was not open in hotels in the 1990s. During the Qing Dynasty, it was a communication room for meeting the emperor.

Two years ago, the restaurant owner bought Sihexuan from the grandson of Doctor Yuan Shikai's imperial doctor and transformed it into a high-end Western restaurant, which quickly became popular in the upper reaches of the capital.

Hello, Miss, what do you need help?A restaurant waitress came over and asked.

Chen Hong took off her sunglasses and said: I'm looking for Ms. Fu Yiwei, she has booked a seat here.

It turns out that he is Mr. Fu's friend, please come with me.The waitress said attentively that she did not recognize Chen Hong, but was very familiar with Fu Yiwei.

Since Fu Yiwei played Su Daji, she has become popular all over the country. Even remote rural areas have calendars with her photos printed. On the contrary, Chen Hong is relatively less famous and few people know her except those who like to watch movies.

This is the case in the mainland entertainment industry these days. Since the popularity of TVs, movie stars have become far less famous than TV stars.

Chen Hong's uncle was a deputy ministerial official during her lifetime, and her uncle and grandmother were also a cadre of the central government. She had no shortage of opportunities to act in movies. The reason why she joined Feizhi Film and Television Advertising Company was to star in more influential TV series.

The waitress led Chen Hong to a private room. After Chen Hong went in, she found that in addition to Fu Yiwei who asked her, there was also a very familiar man.

Hello Sister Fu!Chen Hong closed the door and walked over, but her eyes remained on the man in the private room.

Xiao Chen, you are here. Fu Yiwei stood up with a smile and introduced that this is the boss of our company, Mr. Kang Jianfei from Hong Kong.

It's really him!

Chen Hong suppressed her excitement, her little heart beat wildly and stretched out her hand, smiling: Hello, Mr. Kang, I have long admired her name!

I really admire the famous name for a long time. Not to mention the popular "Dao Madan", "Huang Feihong" and "The Royal Sister" that were once popular in the mainland, just talk about the "Jurassic Park" last year, which is enough to make Chen Hong admire and respect for it for a long time.

Although "Jurassic Park" has not been scheduled to be released in the mainland, its global box office of nearly $600 million has long been spread throughout the mainland entertainment industry. How could Chen Hong not have heard of this movie?

Kang Jianfei held Chen Hong's hand, the touch was soft and delicate, and said in a sincere tone: Miss Chen's live-action is more beautiful than a movie.

The two of them put their hands down and Chen Hong smiled happily: Mr. Kang was joking, I am not as beautiful as Sister Fu.

After Chen Hong sat down, Kang Jianfei said to her menu: Miss Chen, please come some.

Guests follow the host's will.Chen Hong returned the menu to Kang Jianfei.

Kang Jianfei no longer pushed around, called the waiter and asked: What special dishes do you have here?

The waiter said: Mr. Kang, our Sihexuan has a combination of dishes and things. The most famous ones are boiled quail eggs in truffle, fresh asparagus, sweet garlic egg custard...

After the waiter finished registering the name of the dish, Kang Jianfei said: Each person will give you one of these dishes.

OK, wait three.The waiter took the menu down.

Kang Jianfei turned around and smiled at Chen Hong and Fu Yiwei: The dishes here are very interesting, this is the first time I have met them.

Fu Yiwei introduced: I have been here twice before. The dish like boiled quail eggs in truffle. Although it sounds inconsistent, it tastes delicious.

Kang Jianfei said pretentiously: Sihexuan’s idea is correct. The more top-notch the ingredients, the more you should match them with simple ingredients and cook them in the most primitive way, so as to highlight the deliciousness of the top-notch ingredients.It's just right to boil quail eggs in truffle water. If you use it to cook bear's paw, it will ruin both the truffle and bear's paw.

Mr. Kang is very knowledgeable about what he eats?Chen Hong looked at Kang Jianfei curiously, and her attention had never left this man.

After a little knowledge, Kang Jianfei saw that Chen Hong's attention attracted, so he showed off his little food experiences and finally said, "I have always wanted to invest in a documentary about Chinese food, combine food with humanities, see the big from the small, and see the profound from the ordinary, to express China's humanistic charm and historical accumulation."

Is it a documentary like "Talking about the Yangtze River"?Chen Hong asked.

"Talking about the Yangtze River" is majestic, but the food documentary I want to shoot is touching my heart with emotion, and the two have different entry points.For example, we can start with an ordinary ingredient and show the spiritual outlook and emotional life of ordinary people by planting and collecting it.Take the ingredients like lotus root for example. It is pure, white, crispy and delicious on the table, but who has paid attention to the hard work of lotus root pickers... Kang Jianfei talked freely, but he was talking about "China on the Bite of the Tongue".

Kang Jianfei is very eloquent and is particularly good at fooling around. Not only Chen Hong, but even Fu Yiwei is fascinated by him.

He talked about food and humanities, and then about history and folk customs. He was afraid that the two women would be boring to hear this, so Kang Jianfei immediately talked about history and movies.

Chen Hong and Fu Yiwei are both people in the entertainment industry, so they finally have the opportunity to interrupt. The three of them were happily chatting about movies and TV while eating truffle water.

After the quail eggs were solved, Fu Yiwei said: Xiao Chen, haven’t you always wanted to act in a good drama?I don't have a role for you now, but Mr. Kang is very optimistic about you.

Is Mr. Kang planning to invest in any large-scale TV series?

Chen Hong looked at Fu Yiwei and looked at Kang Jianfei with hope.

Today, Fu Yiwei's excuse for asking her to come out was to introduce her to a new drama, and the arrival of Kang Jianfei made Chen Hong look forward to it.

Chen Hong's performance at this time is not much better than those new actors who are eager to become famous. She has made many movies, but she is famous but can never become popular. She just expects to get a chance to break through the bottleneck.

The ancient saying goes: No desire is hard, and when a person has desire, there are flaws. When Kang Jianfei saw her take the bait, he smiled proudly and said: That's right, I have a TV station in Hong Kong and Macau, and I need to shoot enough TV series every year to meet the broadcast requirements.This time I am going to make "Longmen Inn" a TV series. I think you are very suitable for the heroine Qiu Moyan.

Siyuan Film Group invested in "New Dragon Inn" last year, and Wu Siyuan still invited Tsui Hark to be the producer, but the cast was different from another time and space. Neither Brigitte Lin nor Tony Leung did appear because Wu Siyuan couldn't afford to invite him.

"New Dragon Inn" has received great responses in Taiwan and Hong Kong after its release. It is time to launch the TV series version at this time.

Chen Hong has never watched Hu Jinquan's "Longmen Inn" or "New Longmen Inn" produced by Tsui Hark. She didn't know that this is a work with many fans, so she just asked: Do I need to go to Hong Kong to film?

Kang Jianfei shook his head and said: This TV series is mainly aimed at the Taiwan market and is broadcast on Macau TV, so it is filmed by a company in Taiwan and Feizhi Film and Television.All the shots are shot in real scenes in mainland China, and they are likely to go to the Gansu desert to shoot. I hope you can endure hardships.

I can endure hardships!

Chen Hong hurriedly promised himself.

Although her uncle and grandfather were a deputy ministerial official during his lifetime, their relatives were quite far-reaching. If she had to say anything helpful to Chen Hong, it was that she was selected by the National Theater in the fourth grade of elementary school, which was almost impossible for an ordinary child.

After work, other actresses even paid their own physical strength in order to get good roles, but Chen Hong didn't have to worry about it at all.

What she was most worried about was that although she was easy to get the opportunity to perform, she always played supporting roles, and the directors she worked with felt that her acting skills still needed to be honed.

What Chen Hong lacks the most is the opportunity for the heroine. Now that Kang Jianfei asks her to play Qiu Moyan, she naturally has to grasp it firmly.

After coming out of Sihexuan, Kang Jianfei said to Chen Hong: I'll send you back.

Chen Hong looked at Fu Yiwei next to her and refused: You might as well send Sister Fu, I'll just take a taxi back.

Fu Yiwei had already made an agreement with Kang Jianfei, and Kang Jianfei had satisfied her all morning. Until now, her legs were actually a little weak, so she naturally would not drag him down. She smiled and said: I have social engagements tonight, so I will leave first.

After Fu Yiwei left, Chen Hong said to Kang Jianfei: Then I'll trouble Mr. Kang.

Kang Jianfei drove a Mercedes-Benz with a military license plate. The license plate was helped by Ye Laosan. Except for some sensitive places in the capital, this car could enter and exit freely.

Chen Hong was not surprised to see the military sign, so she sat in the passenger seat and said: I am living in Nanluoguxiang.

Kang Jianfei started the car and asked: Did you rent a house?

Chen Hong said: An old house for elders.

Kang Jianfei said: The environment there is good, and I heard that there are many famous places and historical sites.

They are all old houses, and the environment is very chaotic.Chen Hong felt that those old houses were far worse than modern buildings, and their daily life was inconvenient.

Of course, Kang Jianfei would not be so stupid as to argue with her that the old house is valuable. According to Chen Hong's words: After filming this "New Dragon Inn", you will definitely become a hit and you will be able to buy a high-end apartment in Beijing.

Chen Hong smiled happily: If it really makes a name for itself, I will definitely invite Mr. Kang to a meal and thank you.

Then let’s decide. With Miss Chen, you only need a suitable opportunity to become a big star. Kang Jianfei first praised her and then said, it’s still early now and there’s nothing to do when you go back, why not go to the movies together?

I...good Ah.Chen Hong hesitated for a while and finally agreed.
