At this time, people from the film crew arrived one after another. Zhang Yimou and Ren Kuangxi greeted the guests respectively and led them upstairs one by one.
When store manager Jin saw this, he quickly went downstairs to help. He called several foremen and waiters to focus on these customers.
Most of the guests who came here were in groups of two or three. It could be seen that many of them had gone out to play and came here directly. There were also people going to the temple fair, holding in their hands newly bought New Year paintings, facial makeup, etc.
gadgets.
More than a dozen people from the crew came one after another, but Sun Dahai didn't know any of them. However, he didn't have any special ideas. He just wanted to get up close and personal with this film that is destined to be extraordinary.
After a while, Ren Kuanhui accompanied a girl upstairs. Sun Dahai took a look and realized that this was Chen Xiaohua.
At this time, Chen Xiaohua is at the most beautiful time in her life. At the age of 26, she wears light makeup on her face, blending female youth and charm. Coupled with a little Shanghai girl's sense of superiority, Chen Xiaohua
As soon as Xiaohua went upstairs, she became the center of attention.
Sun Dahai was not very fond of her, but when he saw her coming upstairs, he still wanted to say hello to her warmly.
During the New Year, when Sun Dahai and his second child went to the Forbidden City studio to visit Ren Kuei, they had a photo with her. Even for Ren Kuei, Sun Dahai couldn't ignore her at this time.
Chen Xiaohua still has a deep impression of Sun Dahai. Anyone who sees a handsome young man with two children swaggering into the set will be deeply impressed.
Especially when Ren Kuanwei specially introduced him to producer Jeremy and director Bertolucci, the two big guys in the crew did not ignore Sun Dahai because of his young age, and took the initiative to shake hands and talk with him.
Based on this alone, a girl as smart as Chen Xiaohua would never dare to look down on Sun Dahai.
Sun Dahai and Chen Xiaohua chatted about each other. Chen Xiaohua became more curious and always wanted to know whose child Sun Dahai was.
People in the 1980s were relatively honest, and Chen Xiaohua thought she was quite skillful in speaking, but she tried to trick people in the right way, while Sun Dahai just pretended to be stupid and didn't take the bait.
In front of Sun Dahai, who has lived in two generations, Chen Xiaohua's little skills were not mentioned. Sun Dahai was not angry at all. It was quite interesting to watch Chen Xiaohua's poor performance.
Not long after, the other two main actors in "The Last Emperor" came upstairs together. They were Wu Junmei and Peter O'Toole, who played Wenxiu and Johnston respectively, but they were said to be the second male and female leads in the movie.
When Sun Dahai visited the class last time, Ren Kuangwei also introduced these two to him, so when they met here, everyone exchanged pleasantries again.
While the scene was getting noisy, several more actors came. The most famous among them was Lu Yan, who played the role of Empress Dowager Cixi.
The adopted daughter of Master Mei Lanfang is not a simple person. She has been engaged in performing arts all her life, and she still participated in movies until she was 90 years old.
She is also the first Chinese lifelong judge of the Academy Awards, and has received the Chinese Academy Awards Lifetime Achievement Award from the United Nations Headquarters.
Everyone hurriedly said hello to the old man, and Sun Dahai was no exception. The old lady was very kind and talked to Sun Dahai for a long time before she was pulled to chat with others.
In fact, although the movie "The Last Emperor" is a Chinese historical film shot by a European director, the actors chosen by the crew to play Chinese characters all had the experience of studying acting in the United States.
Chen Xiaohua and Wu Junmei were both studying in the United States before filming started. Lu Yan even came to the United States before liberation and has been engaged in acting for many years.
Zun Lung, who was replaced by Ren Kuei, is also a famous Broadway actor. If Ren Kuei had not had the experience of studying in the United States that year, it would not be easy for him to get the opportunity to be the leading actor.
The protagonist will definitely appear last. Ren Kuan and Gabriel accompanied director Bertolucci, Jeremy and other co-producers upstairs. Ying Lao, as the representative of the Chinese side, was also with them.
After greeting each other, Jeremy introduced Sun Dahai to two producers he had not met much, and invited him to dine at the main table.
Sun Dahai smiled and shook his head, declined his invitation, and sat at the main actors' table with Ren Kuang.
The positions of the four dining tables are arranged in advance. The main table is for the director, assistant director and producer. The remaining three tables are for the main actors and crew members, and there is also one for mixed seating. I don’t like sharing meals.
People can go to the bar, where there is a small hot pot for one person.
It is easier for foreigners to eat. Gabriel and director Bertolucci exchanged a few words, and in less than five minutes, everyone started using chopsticks.
Of course, most foreigners just tried using chopsticks, and then everyone held the colander and refused to let go.
Hot pot, or ways of eating similar to hot pot, exist in many countries, but in the hands of the Chinese, this simple way of eating has been sublimated.
Nowadays, No. 9 hot pot restaurant only offers clear soup base, Tianfu spicy soup, mushroom soup, tomato soup, sukiyaki, and curry. The dishes are even richer, and it can be said that there is almost nothing that cannot be cooked.
Because half of the guests were Europeans and Americans, Gabriel was careful when ordering the food and did not order duck blood, river fish, or animal offal, which were taboos for them, so that everyone would eat without any scruples.
Sitting at the actors' table, in addition to the few people just now, there is also an old actor making a statement and talking to the Japanese actor next to him.
Mr. Chen is also an old actor. He has played countless negative roles in his life. He didn't have many scenes in "The Last Emperor" and he didn't stay on the crew for a long time. But now that he has a role, he has caught up with Gabri.
This meal was invited by El.
There was red wine, white wine and beer on every table, but there didn't seem to be many people drinking white wine. A few foreigners tried it and shed tears.
The beer is homemade in the store, a real German fresh beer. The localization process of the fresh beer formula and process has been figured out with the help of the brewers of Daocheng Brewery. It is a pity that there are less rye grown in China.
, so no dark beer is produced for the time being.
The production of beer is currently the responsibility of the logistics department of No. 9 Hotpot Restaurant. Each city where a branch is opened has introduced a set of beer-making equipment from Germany.
The fresh beer produced every day is not only supplied to No. 9 Hot Pot Restaurant, but also to Feilin Slow Bar and California Bar. Fresh beer that is not sold that day will be destroyed to ensure the quality of the fresh beer.
Eating hot pot and drinking beer is actually very enjoyable, provided you have a good stomach. But as a Chinese, Sun Dahai always feels that even if you don’t drink white wine, drinking beer while eating hot pot is much more pleasing to the eye than drinking red wine.
Looking at Chen Xiaohua and Wu Junmei next to him, each with a glass of red wine in front of them, Sun Dahai sighed. No wonder these two became American citizens a few years later, and they now rely on European and American living habits.
