When filming movies and TV dramas, it doesn't mean that all the films that are directly shot are finished films, and they can be shown when they are taken out.

During the filming process, a large number of scenes are generated that are not displayed on the screen. These are all clips that were cut out during post-editing.

In many cases, more fragments are subtracted than the finished film. Not only did a lot of film be wasted, but more importantly, a lot of shooting time was wasted. The director of some literary films can even shoot clips that are several times longer than the finished film!

The reason why Zhang Fan was able to complete the location shooting of the slumdog millionaire in India so quickly is largely because he did not waste time shooting many useless clips!

"I'm going to direct this TV series myself." Zhang Fan naturally does not say that he has a full set of shooting processes in his mind, but uses the fact that he is shooting a Hollywood movie as evidence.

"Since that's the case, then I'll trouble Mr. Zhang this time." Koji Takeda will not be serious with Zhang Fan in this kind of thing. After all, this TV series was filmed and invested by Zhang Fan himself, and it was just broadcast on Fuji TV. Even if it is a final failure, it is Zhang Fan's own loss.

Moreover, the loss of a TV series is nothing.

"By the way, we invited Aya Ueto as the heroine of this drama. I don't know what Mr. Zhang thinks? "Hanzawa Naoki's TV series mainly revolves around the male protagonist, and the heroine is more like a supporting role. It doesn't make a big difference.

"Kamitoya?" Zhang Fan smiled, "Very good." ”

After leaving Fuji TV, Zhang Fan did not return to the hotel to rest, but was invited to a well-known Japanese restaurant.

The restaurant is located near the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Palace of the Emperor of Japan in Tokyo. A few decades ago, the price of land here could buy the whole of Canada. Even after the housing bubble burst, it was still an extremely expensive location.

The whole restaurant is like a small garden, full of Japanese atmosphere. The attic courtyard has rockeries and flowing water, flowers and even a small bamboo forest. The view is very scenic.

"Mr. Zhang is here, it is an honor!" Wearing black-rimmed glasses, the somewhat short and fat man bowed deeply to Zhang Fan. This is the person who invited him to the banquet, Yasuya Akimoto, the father of AKB48.

"We're friends." Zhang Fan smiled and stepped forward to pat Qiu Yuankang's shoulder, "My friend invited me to dinner, how can I not come?" ”

Zhang Fan and Qiu Yuankang have only met once, and they are definitely not friends at first sight. It's just that others invite you to dinner, and it's just a waste of saliva to say something nice.

"I'm sorry, I just flew in from Mumbai, and I'm really not used to the Indian curry on the plane." After Zhang Fan sat down cross-legged in the classical Japanese room, he immediately said, "After getting off the plane, I was busy going to Fuji TV, and I haven't eaten seriously until now." I'd like to put my stomach on the back of my stomach first. ”

"Hahaha~~~" Akimoto Yasushi smiled and nodded again and again, "This is as it should be." Mr. Zhang is really temperamental. ”

After clapping her hands, the Japanese-style door was opened, and a woman wearing a kimono with a powdered face respectfully appeared.

"Let's start with a bowl of soba noodles." After the woman closed the door and left, Akimoto explained to Zhang Fan that the soba noodles here are not mixed with any other flour, and the taste is very delicious.

The condiments are made of wasabi, green onions, miso and dried fish meal. It is very delicious when added to the noodles. The soba noodles are extremely strong.

At this time, he was idle, so Zhang Fan curiously asked about the specific method. As the host, Yasu Akimoto continued to explain to Zhang Fan.

The boiled soba noodles are placed on a flat drawer made of bamboo, and then cooled with cold water. After serving, it is eaten with condiments. It's like a cold noodle in China. Not only is it delicious, but it is also very nutritious.

Noodles, and cold noodles are generally made quickly. Zhang Fan didn't wait long for the delicious soba noodles to be served.

There is nothing to be modest, Zhang Fan directly picked up the chopsticks and ate them. The sound of eating noodles in this outdoor courtyard is clear and the wind blows the elegant environment of the bamboo forest, which looks very out of place.

Zhang Fan is really hungry. When he was in India, curry was everywhere and he was completely unaccustomed to it. You can only eat at the hotel's western restaurant. But when shooting exterior scenes, you can't always run back to the hotel to eat at noon, right? During this time in India, Zhang Fan was tormented. At this time, a bowl of noodles is more important than anything else.

'Smack! Zhang Fan put down his chopsticks, looked at the empty bowl in front of him, and smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm a little out of shape." ”

Zhang Fan's approach is indeed a gaffe. But now it's Akimoto Yasushi who asks him, not to mention ordering a bowl of noodles and eating it first, even if he puts water in the courtyard, he won't say anything. will even applaud, saying that Zhang Fan's water flow is really big!

This is the character of the Japanese people, and when there is a demand for others, nothing is a problem.

"I wonder if Mr. Zhang still has an appetite at this time?" Qiu Yuankang looked at Zhang Fan with a smile.

"It's just a bowl of noodles." Zhang Fan waved his hand, "It's just an appetizer." ”

Next is the main meal. It was also arranged by Yasu Akimoto before, a famous kaiseki meal in Japan.

Kaiseki cuisine is famous, and all meals are made on site to ensure freshness and texture.

It is called kaiseki cuisine because it was first introduced from temples. Monks who practice generally eat very little, have fat heads and big ears, and their bald heads are full of oil, and they must be fake monks. Because of the lack of food, the monks' stomachs are naturally troubled. Life. Therefore, some monks will sit on the fart when they practice it. The stone with body temperature under the thigh is held in his arms to fight hunger. After that, it was called kaiseki cuisine.

Japanese culture has been inherited from China, but it has evolved dramatically.

This kind of cuisine pays attention to the spirit, whether it is before, during or after the meal, it is all about cultivation and style. Generally, it is important to have a banquet, and it is only when there is a status guest that you will be invited to eat kaiseki cuisine.

It's just that the corners of Zhang Fan's eyes have been twitching. Although he always had a faint smile on his face.

One procedure after another, one process after another, and one rule after another, Zhang Fan's heart began to burst into flames. It's just a meal, and the rules are even more troublesome than eating a French meal! Is this bastard Yasuya Akimoto playing tricks on me?!

Zhang Fan is wrong to blame Qiu Yuanyasu. The kaiseki cuisine at this restaurant is very expensive. The artistic atmosphere is very strong, more like a craft. And people who come here to eat are all here to talk about things, and it is very rare for someone like Zhang Fan to simply want to fill his stomach.

After the food came up, Zhang Fan not only twitched the corners of his eyes, but even the corners of his mouth began to tremble.

It looks good, but it's all small portions of vegetables!

Either shredded red and white radish, beautifully carved tofu, or all kinds of indescribable flowers and plants.

These flowers and plants look good, but the portions are too small. Zhang Fan looked at it like a matter of chopsticks. How do you eat this thing?

Zhang Fan's two hands were on the low couch in front of him, and the smile on his face was almost unbearable. Zhang Fan was thinking at this time, should he get up and leave? Even if you go to the corner of Shinjuku and have an oden, it's better than this!

Zhang Fan, who hadn't eaten much for almost a whole day, not only did not alleviate the hunger in his stomach after eating a bowl of noodles just now, but it made his stomach scream even more.

Fortunately, when Zhang Fan's anger was about to finally explode, the final dish of the whole dish finally came up. The steak that was still bloodshot was placed in front of Zhang Fan.

Japanese people like to eat fresh, just like they like to eat sashimi. The steak in front of Zhang Fan was not cooked well, and it looked like it had just been cut with blood.

Fortunately, Zhang Fan has been eating Western food in Mumbai recently, and the food in front of him is barely acceptable.

In fact, it's more because Zhang Fan is really hungry now, even if there is a live cow in front of him, he can eat it raw!

Seeing Zhang Fan's unscrupulous image, Qiu Yuankang could only smile bitterly.

Originally, he wanted to reflect his style and show his respect for Zhang Fan. After all, kaiseki cuisine is synonymous with style in Japan. Generally, it is enjoyed by the best people. Eat this not to fill your stomach, but to enjoy the strange beauty and style.

It's a pity that if it's usual, Zhang Fan can still show the style or something. But after such a long flight, he spent the afternoon on Fuji TV. Zhang Fan, who has not eaten for a long time, is in the mood to appreciate the precious utensils of the quaint Jianghu era, the wooden couch with the age made of real sandalwood, the courtyard of the spring rockery bamboo forest, the beautiful famous paintings hanging around, and the antique-level porcelain flower screen.

Zhang Fan just wants to fill his stomach now, but Qiu Yuankang wants style. In this case, Akimoto Yasusu could only smile bitterly and watch his arrangement become the end of burning the qin and cooking the crane.

"It tastes good." After eating the steak, Zhang Fan had time to comment on the meal.

"This is the best Wagyu beef." Yasu Akimoto, like the vast majority of people in the world, likes to show off the good things of his country in front of foreigners, "Wagyu beef is famous all over the world. Every day, there will be a massage, a certain amount of alcohol, listen to music for a few hours, and the meat is very delicious. ”

Zhang Fan grinned unnaturally. He just said it casually, and he didn't expect Akimoto Yasusu to start praising Wagyu beef in a rambling manner.

Just this half-cooked beef, that is, I can't be hungry at this time, and I will definitely let the waiter take it down and fry it for a while at other times!

It's delicious, it's delicious! It's like raw meat!

After the entire set of catering supplies was removed, Akimoto Yasu picked up the porcelain bottle of sake in front of him and poured a glass for Zhang Fan, "Mr. Zhang, congratulations on your achievement in the United States, the highest achievement of our Asian musicians!" ”

Yasu Akimoto is right, Zhang Fan is the first Asian musician to have a work that can reach the top of Billboard Week. As for whether he really wants to congratulate Zhang Fan, or whether he is envious and jealous in his heart, I don't know.

Zhang Fan squinted his eyes and smiled and touched the wine glass with Qiu Yuankang, thinking about the meat of today's meal. It's time for the play.

Sure enough, after three rounds of drinking, Yasu Akimoto, who was full of praise and praise, finally said the purpose of inviting guests to dinner today.

"I would like to ask Mr. Zhang to write a song for ABK48."
