Chapter 432: Food Diplomacy

Song Xuan told He Mu that although Jeff was fully responsible for the publicity and distribution of Lionsgate, this time he strongly requested to participate in the production of "Cold Heart", and now he should be busy with the actors. Gordon's work.

He Mu said "oh", it seems that his brother-in-law is really interesting, he wants to support his rhythm to the end, Hollywood implements a producer system, usually the producer has more authority over a movie than the director, Jeff, as a producer, it is too easy to take care of his brother-in-law, of course, the premise is that He Mu can enter the crew of "Cold Heart".

For Joseph. Gordon-Levitt, He Mu still has a certain understanding, he is a child star, Jewish, when he was a teenager, he starred in the famous sitcom series "Mars Collides with the Earth", playing a Martian who pretended to be a Jewish teenager, at that time was popular all over the country, is a very famous little idol, the most rare thing is that Joseph broke the curse of child stars that countless child stars have a headache for, after growing up, he is still active in the film and television industry, and he mixes well, and a "Five Hundred Days with Shamo" in the first half of the year has received countless praises, made this handsome guy with a slightly embarrassed face once again become a popular literary student in Hollywood, and has participated in "The Rise of the Special Forces Cobra" and Christopher. Nolan's new film "Inception" is promising.

Lionsgate is good at small-budget thrillers, and Wen Ziren's works are also small-budget horror films, the actors in his movies don't need to be famous, as long as they can act, as for fame, they will definitely become famous after acting in his plays.

This time, Jeff asked Joseph to play the male lead, first of all, the cost of this film will not be too small. Joseph's salary alone is estimated to exceed the cost of several "Chainsaws", and secondly, Jeff's ambition can also be seen. Joseph has a wide audience in the United States, whether it is literary films or commercial productions have participated, Jeff is not willing to simply position "Cold Heart" as a horror film, which limits its potential, there is the "father of chainsaw" Wen Ziren can attract those thriller fans, there is Joseph can also attract fans of other audiences, in Hollywood, where genre films are mature, sometimes atypical genre films can play a miraculous effect.

Although it's been two days since Christmas. However, Song Xuan's family still maintains the atmosphere of Christmas, just like the Chinese New Year, but fifteen. The taste of the New Year is not dispersed, Christmas in the United States and the Spring Festival in China are equal, He Mu and the three of them visited her home under the guidance of Song Xuan, and had a brief understanding of American culture. Including gastronomic culture.

He Mu visited the kitchen of Song Xuan's house. Seeing the half of the turkey ready to entertain them, the food of Americans is indeed very monotonous and garbage, which even Song Xuan, who has lived here for nearly ten years, still firmly believes that what she misses is the taste of Chinese food, but it is a pity that it is difficult to eat authentic Chinese food in the United States, most of those Chinese restaurants in Chinatown are nondescript that have been improved and suitable for the taste of foreigners, and Song Xuan is a standard female scholar-like woman. She hadn't really learned much about her mother's kitchen skills, but she had a good day today. She bought a lot of ingredients, just waiting for He Mu to do it, in her heart, He Mu's cooking skills are not inferior to those five-star chefs in China.

After He Mu disposed of a few prawns, Jeff came back, and there was a bald middle-aged man with him, after learning that He Mu was preparing dinner for them, Jeff said to Song Xuan unhappily, "How can you let Xiao Mu do this kind of thing, this is not hospitality!" "I have to say that Jeff has really learned a lot about Chinese culture and what hospitality is.

He Mu stuck his head out of the kitchen and said with a smile: "My sister Xuan has been in the United States for a long time, and she has long forgotten the traditional Chinese virtues, and I also want to make myself eat better, Jeff, you don't have to worry about me." "I have to say that after mastering the art of cooking, I am a very popular person everywhere I go.

After hearing her husband's reprimand, Song Xuan glared at him, and then ran into the kitchen, "I'll help Xiao Mu, Xiao Nan will follow." ”

Now only Jeff, Datang and the middle-aged little man brought back by Jeff are left in the living room, Jeff first greeted Datang, and then introduced them to each other, "This is Mr. Datang, a famous agent in China, he is also a composer and producer, he is an all-rounder...... This is Robin. Binsein, the gold producer at Lionsgate, will be in charge of "Cold Heart" this time by the two of us. ”

"Oh, hello."

"Hello."

Datang and Robin shook hands briefly, and he immediately understood, Jeff had told him before that he and Robin should theoretically have the final say on who the second male lead in "Cold Heart" will choose, but their CEO Jon. In order to avoid Jeff's bias towards He Mu, who was recommended by him, Philheimer handed over the selection of the main roles other than the actor to Robin and director Wen Ziren, and the person recognized by the two of them will finally get the role, for Wen Ziren, Jeff is still more confident, as long as Robin is won, it will be equivalent to He Mu winning this role.

Jeff and Robin are good friends, but this guy is very principled, not as flexible as Jeff, Jeff wants to make this guy on his side through friendship is basically impossible, so he wants him to get to know He Mu first, He Mu is such a good young man I believe that no one will not like it, and eat other people's mouths, he understands this truth, Robin should not understand it at such an age.

After understanding Jeff's intentions, Datang was extremely enthusiastic about Robin, but Robin has always maintained a polite sense of distance, and at the same time felt a little dissatisfied with his old friend Jeff, he could see that Jeff wanted to let him meet the actor from China first, his wife's younger brother, but he was not so easy to compromise.

Jeff has never revealed his relationship with He Mu to outsiders, and He Mu is the same in China, no one knows that he has a brother-in-law who is a senior member of Lionsgate, but in the face of Robin, Jeff did not hide it, he will know this sooner or later, it is better to say it himself, of course, even if he says it, Robin still does not mean to sell his face.

When Jeff and the others came back, He Mu had been busy in the kitchen for more than an hour, Datang and Robin chatted for a while, and soon Song Xuan and Xiao Nan brought up the good-looking and good-smelling Chinese cabbage.

He Mu made the dishes so good-looking this time in order to create a shocking visual effect, so that foreigners like Jeff and Robin can see the breadth and profundity of Chinese cuisine, in the United States, they are afraid that this kind of food comparable to art is not common, just now Sister Xuan told him in the kitchen, whether he can win this role depends on Robin's words.

Although He Mu shocked Robin with his beautiful cooking skills, he still behaved very calmly, and he decided to stay calm tonight, and he must not let this He Mu think that his little tricks conquered him.

But after putting the shiny piece of pork in his mouth, Robin's expression immediately became richer, and a piece of pork made him completely ruined.

Chinese cuisine is still very popular in the city of Los Angeles, Robin has eaten a few times with Jeff, the most painful thing is to learn to use chopsticks, but after learning to eat, I enjoy it very much, Chinese cuisine can be popular in the world does have its unique charm, but although the improved Chinese cuisine adapts to the taste and health standards of the vast majority of Americans, but it has also lost a lot of the essence of Chinese cuisine, I am afraid that even half of the real Chinese food can not reach the deliciousness, and now Robin tastes authentic Dongpo meat for the first time, The delicacy made him crazy with excitement, his tongue had never been so pleasant, Chinese food was really magical!

Robin ate another shrimp, an old face immediately smiled into a chrysanthemum, many countries have a way to deal with seafood, but it's basically very simple, and the processing method of Chinese cuisine is more rich and diverse, Robin sighed and didn't know what adjectives to say, Jeff saw Robin's expression and his eyes chasing food, and smiled happily, I didn't expect He Mu to take Robin's old stubbornness without saying a few words, Chinese food is really broad and profound, but it's a pity why his wife can't.

It can be said that He Mu has too many talents, but a little exposure is enough to make people amazed, a meal melted Robin's ice face, he now looks at He Mu's expression is much gentler, not like the original rejection of thousands of miles away, it seems that although he has not been influenced by Chinese culture, he also knows the truth of eating people's mouths.

As the host of this room, Jeff is very happy to see that the situation is developing as he thinks, in order to make everyone more familiar, he took the initiative to provoke the topic, hoping that everyone can talk about something, the dinner table is a good place to connect feelings, China is like this, the United States sometimes works.

"Xiao Mu, what is the hottest movie in China right now?"

Everyone is a filmmaker, of course, it is easier to talk about movies.

He Mu thought for a while, "Now that China has entered the Lunar New Year file, what Chinese people want to see most is still excellent Chinese films, and now the most popular ones are "October Siege", "Three Guns Shooting Surprise" directed by Zhang Yimou and "Thorn Tomb" starring Jay Chou, the little king of Asia, but unfortunately I have been filming in a remote ancient city, and I have never seen these movies, have you heard of them? ”

Jeff nodded, Robin shook his head, and Jeff explained to Robin, ""Three Thousand Shootings is a remake of director Zhang Yimou's remake of the Coen brothers' debut film "Blood Labyrinth", "October Siege" seems to have a lot of Chinese superstars involved, it is a very great movie, but "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" is even more remarkable, there are more than 100 Chinese stars, it is incredible. Jeff couldn't help but sigh that he was very concerned about the film markets of various countries in the world, especially recently he had a soft spot for the Chinese market.

Robin wiped the oil on his mouth and asked, "Then don't you watch Hollywood blockbusters now, are there any Hollywood movies that are very popular in China?" ”
