Chapter 522 Getting to know Ying Lao

After Sun Dahai ate for a while, he felt that it was not enough, so he went to the bar and asked the waiter to bring him a clear soup pot. He also ordered a portion of tripe, ready to cook some tripe.

When the water in the pot was boiling, a voice sounded from behind him: "This is a good thing for kids, too."

Sun Dahai looked back and saw that it was Mr. Ying. He pulled out the chair next to Sun Dahai and sat down. At the same time, he asked the waiter to prepare a portion for him. He also wanted to eat Shabu-shabu.

Sun Dahai almost forgot that Ying Lao was a bannerman and he was much more particular about eating, drinking and having fun than Sun Dahai.

"Hello, Mr. Ying, I always like to eat some tripe-shabu when I eat hot pot. If I don't eat it, I always feel like something is missing."

Mr. Ying laughed and said, "You also have this habit from the capital. Many older generation capital people like to eat this way."

While the two were talking, the waiter brought the clear soup pot to Mr. Ying.

Ying Lao skillfully turned the power to the highest setting, and then said: "It's a pity that this is an electric hot pot, the firepower is not strong enough, the shabu-shabu is only okay, and the shabu-shabu is not delicious. If you really want to eat hairy tripe, you can use

For copper charcoal hot pot, you can go to one of those time-honored restaurants to eat hotpot or Erguotou. That’s beautiful.”

Sun Dahai gave a thumbs up and said: "Old Ying, when I hear this, you are an expert at eating. Looking at your skill, have you ever eaten at No. 9 Hot Pot Restaurant before?"

"I've been here many times. If I really want to eat traditional mutton-shabu-shabu, I'll naturally look for a place that uses copper hot pot, but your store has all kinds of styles. Sometimes I'll come here for a curry pot, or

It's sukiyaki, for a change." Mr. Ying said casually.

"You know this store is mine?"

Sun Dahai was stunned. Although it was not confidential information, he did not expect that Mr. Ying actually knew that No. 9 Hot Pot Restaurant was his property.

Yinglao was very happy and said: "Not only do I know that this hot pot restaurant belongs to you, I also know that the Youlian Film and Television Company that later participated in the investment in "The Last Emperor" also belongs to you."

Yinglao pursed his lips in Gabriel's direction and said calmly: "That's your person. If we hadn't figured out the details of Youlian Film and Television Company, how could we agree to the participation of any company in such a project.

"

Sun Dahai himself also understood that the film "The Last Emperor" was a key project for the country's external publicity, so how could it not conduct background checks on the companies entering the film?

Sun Dahai suddenly remembered something and asked in a low voice: "What about the selection of the leading actor?"

Mr. Ying turned his head and glanced at Sun Dahai, then also lowered his voice and said: "Although we can't use mainland actors, Hong Kong actors are better than Chinese-American actors."

Only then did Sun Dahai realize that he had never imagined that Ren Kuanxi's interview for the male lead would go so smoothly, and he would immediately replace the original actor. It turned out that there were British elders, or the country, helping to create the situation.

What about strength.

Sun Dahai quickly asked the waiter for a bottle of Su Bian, opened the bottle cap and helped Ying Lao pour it, and then said in a very shameless manner: "Ying Lao, try this wine. The recipe of Five Star Winery is basically all exported. Domestic

rarely seen."

"Oh, let me have a taste."

Both Ying Lao and Sun Dahai tacitly stopped mentioning the change of protagonists, and they chatted and laughed while eating their belly.

Sun Dahai suddenly remembered why he had never seen Zhang Yimou. He looked around and finally saw him at the dining table of the crew.

The person sitting next to him seemed familiar to Sun Dahai. He thought about it carefully and realized that wasn't Chen Wuji. Why was he also on the set of "The Last Emperor"?

"Mr. Ying, is that Director Chen sitting next to Zhang Yimou?" Sun Dahai asked Mr. Ying.

Yinglao looked back and replied: "Yes. Xiao Chen is a representative of the outstanding young and middle-aged directors who have emerged in recent years. The reason why he is included in the group this time is to give him a good learning opportunity."

After finishing speaking, Mr. Ying glanced at Sun Dahai again and said: "Not everyone can get in touch with you. Xiao Zhang is very lucky. It was you who arranged for him to be a photographer in the "A Better Tomorrow" film in Xiangjiang last year.

Bar?"

"Yes, Mr. Ying, that movie has not been released in China, have you noticed?"

Ying Lao glanced at Sun Dahai angrily and said: "The movie "A Better Tomorrow" you invested in is the box office champion in the history of Hong Kong movies. Although it has not been released in China, no one in the industry has watched it."

"By the way, Mr. Ying, is it possible that "A Better Tomorrow" will be introduced in China?" Sun Dahai had some expectations.

Ying Lao shook his head and said: "Your film included gangsters, gun battles, various violent and bloody scenes, and it promoted personal heroism. In a few years, it may be acceptable in China, but it is not acceptable now.

I said, Xiao Sun, even if this movie is introduced in China, you will only pay a small amount of money to buy out the domestic screening rights. Do you still care about this small amount of money?"

Sun Dahai did not want "A Better Tomorrow" to be released in China just to make money. Imported movies in this era were basically managed by Huaxia Film Company, with a flat price of 20,000 US dollars, and became foreign old movies and bad movies.

distribution center.

Sun Dahai naturally didn't care about the 20,000 US dollars. He originally wanted to bring classic movies back to China, but he forgot that there are very few entertainment products in society now, and the public's awareness and acceptance are still limited. Since Ying Lao said so, then he

I gave up this idea.

Everyone had finished their dinner. Ren Kuei led the team to play at the Film Slow Bar next door.

Sun Dahai hesitated for a long time, but finally did not follow. He asked store manager Jin to help him find a taxi and went home to sleep.

The days passed day by day, and February 28th came in a blink of an eye.

Today is the first day of the second lunar month, and it is now past seven in the evening. Sun Dahai and his family are outside the delivery room of the Capital Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, anxiously waiting for the news inside.

Yesterday was Sun Weihong's due date. She came to the hospital for a check-up in the morning, but the fetus had not moved yet. So she went home. As a result, when she took a shower before going to bed that night, her amniotic water broke.

Fortunately, the family has already made sufficient preparations. The doula, Xin Dina, and the confinement nanny, Lu Xiaoying, have clearly explained various situations that may occur to the family and made relevant plans.

At this time, Sun Weihong's amniotic water broke, and no one panicked. First, they called the doctor in charge of Sun Weihong. After she finished taking a bath, everyone took the hospital supplies they had prepared for a long time, and Hu Cheng drove to the maternity hospital.

In addition to Qian Shaobai, Xin Dina, Lu Xiaoying, and Sun Weiguo and his wife, Sun Weihong's amniotic water has broken now, and it will be some time before she actually gives birth.

As Jiang Xiuping got older, everyone did not let her go with them and waited for news at home.
