Liu Ye was also here today, saying he wanted to thank Jiang Yan for the opportunity.
However, Jiang Yan said it was not necessary, so Zeng Li took the initiative to refuse on Jiang Yan's behalf, saying that he really wanted to thank him and just perform well when the time comes.
So the meeting was changed to a three-bedroom apartment, and then it became a private meeting between the two of them again.
After entering the door, Jiang Yan saw a table of dishes prepared by Zeng Li.
Three dishes and one soup, all in style.
“It smells so good!”
Jiang Yan gave a big compliment and sat down to get his chopsticks.
"Take off your coat first, then wash your hands." Zeng Li reminded, and then virtuously helped Jiang Yan take off his coat.
After all, Jiang Yan is from the south, and he is really not used to taking off his coat when entering the house in the winter.
But what's even more uncomfortable is being served by a woman.
But he didn't refuse either.
After washing his hands, Zeng Li served the rice and Jiang Yan took a big mouthful.
This meal is really good and has a homely taste.
Zeng Li liked Jiang Yan very much and was very happy.
So the two of them chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was very warm.
At the end, when it was clear that Zeng Li was about to speak but stopped, Jiang Yan spoke:
"There are some things I want to explain to you."
Hearing this, Zeng Li looked over.
Jiang Yan, on the other hand, drank a glass of wine endlessly, but this time there was no room for it.
After drinking, he said: "I'm not a good man..."
Thousands of words must have a beginning.
Once you get started, the rest will be easy to explain.
Unable to make promises, too young, too many things, too many temptations around me, unable to be single-minded, etc.
Finally, end with one sentence:
"You are a good person and a smart girl. Just forget it like a moth is attracted to a flame."
After speaking, Jiang Yan took another sip of wine.
After Zeng Li learned about Jiang Yan's attitude, he finally asked after a long silence:
"Who else have you told this about?"
"You are the first." Jiang Yan said honestly.
"Then how many people are you going to tell?" Zeng Li asked.
"Two? Three? I don't know. I will tell you when we meet in the future." Jiang Yan continued to speak frankly.
"So, you are still single now?"
"Yes, not only am I single, I'm still alive. I'm not lying to you."
"Then I understand." Zeng Li lowered his head and said.
Then, the two of them went on as usual, chatting about recent events.
Nothing seems to have happened.
It wasn't until after nine o'clock that Jiang Yan was ready to leave, even though this was his house.
Jiang Yan said: I'm leaving.
Zeng Li said: OK.
Jiang Yan said: No need to clean it up, we will find someone to do it.
Zeng Li said: It's okay, it's just a matter of convenience, I'll go back by myself later.
Jiang Yan said: OK.
After leaving the door and walking far away, Jiang Yan exhaled a long white breath.
Say no to this, it's not the first time he's done it.
Last time it was Jia Jingwen, it was difficult, this time it was even harder.
Do you like it? I like it all!
There was even a moment when Jiang Yan wanted to embrace love without hesitation.
But if you ask him to be single-minded, he can't do it.
The other party will not agree to a third party.
So that's it.
Jiang Yan walked on the deserted street with his hands in his trouser pockets.
The figure under the street lamp was divided into many parts. I rubbed it with the sole of my shoe, but it couldn't be reunited.
So he spat hard.
Then strode away and embraced the great cause!
...
December 25, Beijing.
"See You or Be Parted" Premiere
Perhaps inspired by "Infernal Affairs", "See You or Separate" also had a decent red carpet ceremony this time.
There were many invited guests, but most of them were celebrities from the mainland.
There are also some Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, but not a few big ones.
The reaction from reporters was also so-so.
It wasn't until Jiang Yan's arrival that the red carpet set off a wave of climax.
After Jiang Yan finished walking, his reaction was mediocre again.
Jiang Yan came here this time because he received an invitation and a phone call from Uncle Han, the mountain eagle himself.
No one can withhold face, but the face of a mountain eagle cannot be withheld.
So Jiang Yan directly postponed his plan to return to Hong Kong and took a detour to attend the premiere.
After walking the red carpet it was time for the interview.
"What are your expectations for the movie? You don't have to think about Director Feng's movie, just watch it. You won't be disappointed."
"Is there any chance to collaborate? If I have time, of course I am willing. I can even make a guest appearance."
"What movie plans do you have recently? Not recently. Let's talk about it after the year."
After simply answering three questions in a casual manner, Jiang Yan nodded and apologized before entering the venue.
Everyone else ignored them and walked directly towards the mountain eagle.
"Here, let me introduce you, this is Ge You, this is Xu Fan..."
Zuo Shandiao personally recommended Jiang Yan, which is enough to illustrate Jiang Yan's importance.
Jiang Yan didn't say anything, but greeted a few people modestly.
After Zhong Zhong chatted with Uncle Ge for a while and exchanged numbers, he and the mountain eagle walked aside to talk about business.
"How's that project of yours in Hollywood going?"
The Mountain Eagle is talking about the movie under the terms of cooperation between Jiang Yan and Warner.
Others don't know this, but Fan Youwen must know it. Lao Fan will definitely know it now that he knows about the mountain eagle.
As the boss of Beijing Film Studio, Zuo Shandiao naturally attaches great importance to this kind of project.
Jiang Yan also understood what he meant. He wanted to find an opportunity to turn the film into a co-production. If it didn't work out, he would get some investment share.
Jiang Yan welcomed this.
Beijing Film Studio's participation means that it can be released in China on time like "Infernal Affairs". Who wouldn't want to make more money?
But now that the mountain eagle asked, Jiang Yan was not easy to answer.
Because he had been busy rehearsing these days, he didn't think about the movie at all.
So Jiang Yan said: "The script is still being polished. The main market for this film is North America. The preferences of North American audiences and mainland audiences are different, so we need to do more research."
"It's good to be more careful, but our mainland market is taking care of it for you, so don't put too much pressure on it." Zuo Shandiao comforted with a smile.
He actually doesn't think Jiang Yan can succeed in North America.
After all, these days, when Chinese are making movies in Hollywood, except for a few action stars, who is successful?
Wu Yuseng? He is a veteran director.
Li An? Who is this?
Therefore, the meaning of Zuoshandiao is very clear. We should still do things with care, but there is no need to blindly cater to the North American audience. Leave some escape routes for yourself. China or Xiangjiang is the base camp.
"Uncle Han, I understand. In fact, I'm just playing around in case I succeed." Jiang Yan said nonchalantly.
"Yes, you are still young, and you can still afford to play." The mountain eagle also smiled and said with some envy, "I guess you are the only one in the mainland who can play like this."
For Hollywood projects, Jiang Yan told Lao Fan before that the general investment would not be less than US$15 million.
This number is absolutely astronomical for the mainland in this era.
But the mountain eagle knew that this little money was just drizzle to Jiang Yan, so he was so emotional.
"Let's just test the market." Jiang Yan said with a smile.
"That's right. Let me take a look at the book first. Although our factory doesn't have that much money, we can still support it somewhat."
"I can't take the responsibility for the loss." Jiang Yan said with a smile.
"Hollywood projects, participation is the most important." Zuo Shandiao said with a smile.
