Chapter 416: Kaiseki Cuisine

The nanny car was originally heading towards the company, and it had already been arranged to meet at the company, but Director Miike called in advance and said that he was rushing to the hotel and asked Anan to drive over directly.

After a while, he took the nanny car to the agreed place, and Kim Do-jun looked up and saw that it was a traditional Japanese restaurant, with some mottled walls, and the entire restaurant was a wooden structure, which looked very clean and sturdy.

The privacy is very good, not in the downtown area, there are no bustling commercial blocks next to it, close to the edge of the forest.

Kim Do-jun looked at it curiously, and under the urging of Han Sung-ho, he took off his shoes and stepped on the wooden floor to walk inside.

As soon as I walked in, I saw two women in kimonos kneeling by the door, bowing respectfully, clasping their hands on their chests, and greeting them.

It's okay not to bend down, and when you bow, you can see the snow white on your chest, and you can see it at a glance.

Kim Dojun immediately nodded and bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

One person gently opened the wooden door, and Kim Do-jun walked in.

Han Chenghao walked behind and asked obscenely.

"How is it not big, why are Japanese women so white! It's weird! ”

After speaking, he shook his head, indicating that he was puzzled.

Kim Do-jun ignored him, and although he saw it himself, he didn't care about it and walked straight in.

Sure enough, Director Miike was sitting in his seat, laughed, and when he saw Kim Do-joon coming in, he spoke.

"It's coming quickly, Daojun, long time no see!"

Director Miike hurriedly stood up from the tatami mat and reached out to shake Kim Do-joon.

Kim Do-joon then realized that there was a stranger sitting next to him. I pick up the teacup by myself. Blow lightly a few times. After drinking it, it looks like a tea.

"Cheng Hao, come and sit together! No one, just a few of us, don't be so restrained! ”

Director Miike then beckoned and said with a smile, the wrinkles on his face were a lot more than last time, although he hadn't seen them for a few months. But he is much older.

dark skin, face full of fatigue, except that the eyes are still bright, but the dark circles under the eyes have climbed under the eyes, and it can be seen that filming has been very hard recently, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.

patted Kim Do-joon's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Come, Do-joon, and introduce you. My good friend Paul Anderson just came from England in the morning. He is also a famous film director! I flew to Japan for casting for a new drama! ”

After listening to this, Kim Do-joon suddenly remembered a person's name, which was an actress he liked very much.

"Milla Jovovich!"

The leading actors in "The Fifth Element" and "Joan of Arc" have been paying attention to her movies since they were in college in the United States, so they are very sensitive to her news, and often search the Internet when they are fine.

After breaking up with Luc Besson, it seems that he found a director named Paul Anderson, it was reported on the news that the two got engaged in 2003, and in early November 2007, Milla Jovovich gave birth to a daughter for Paul Anderson.

For the sake of his own woman, he specially tailored a movie like "Resident Evil" that shocked the world, and I have to admire him.

Kim Do-joon just sat down, stood up again, stretched out his hand and said respectfully in English.

"Hello, my name is Kim Do-joon, just call me Jason, it's nice to meet you!"

Only then did Paul Anderson stand up, smile slightly, shake hands, and speak.

"My name is Paul Anderson, and it's a pleasure to meet you!"

The two shook hands vigorously, and at this time Jin Daojun realized that no matter how tall the man in front of him was, he was almost half a head tall, at least 190 cm tall.

The smile on his face is a little shy, and even his hair is thinning a lot, it seems that all directors around the world are the same, and hair loss is a common problem.

Born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England, Anderson is a shy man who doesn't like to talk much.

In addition to his love of movies, he almost stays at home, doesn't go out half a step, keeps writing scripts, and is a very low-key and simple director.

I met director Miike and became friends, but in the 90s, I met by chance at an award ceremony in Europe, and we sat down and chatted.

Later, I learned that director Miike was also a leading figure in Japanese film noir, and he was originally very fond of bloody and violent action scenes and pictures, and it was difficult to talk for a while, and since then the two have formed a deep friendship and have been getting along until now.

When I have free time, I will also call to greet and talk about the current situation.

This time, Paul Anderson also came to Japan for casting for the new film, only one supporting role is needed, the starring role has been decided, and filming will be carried out at the end of this month, striving to use the limited time to complete the casting work, and strive to put into the shooting and post-editing work as soon as possible.

Several people sat down in turn, and Kim Do-jun was specially arranged to sit next to Director Miike so that the two of them could talk.

After a while, a waitress in a kimono walked over with a plate of dishes, tidied up her hem, knelt in front of her, and placed them neatly one by one, glancing at Kim Do-jun with a sweet smile from time to time.

Kim Do-joon, like Anderson, looked at these foods with curiosity, strictly speaking, these are not food, but like exquisite works of art, finely crafted and beautiful.

Kim Do-joon realized that there were some of his favorite foods on the table, such as grilled saury, miso soup, hot spring eggs, etc., which were actually more familiar, rich and delicious.

It's just that the plate is too delicate, just like a work of art, for fear that it will be broken by yourself if you are not careful.

Director Miike looked at the two people, stretched out his hand, and introduced.

"This is a traditional Japanese kaiseki cuisine, and today I spent a lot of money to entertain the two of you, so please enjoy it!"

Kaiseki cuisine was originally introduced from Japanese temples, and monks who practiced it naturally ate less than their hearts, so they often felt hungry.

Later, it is not known who invented the warm stone to put in the bosom to ward off hunger, so it was called a kaiseki.

Kaiseki cuisine has passed down the original spirit of simplicity and the pursuit of original food, and has developed a set of exquisite dining rules.

No wonder Kim Do-joon felt strange how such a small square table could put so many plates and utensils.

Cross your legs and stare carefully at the table like a curious baby.

From utensils to plating, to dishes and chopsticks, everything is full of Zen and atmosphere.

Japanese cuisine, along with Chinese and French cuisine, is known as one of the world's three most delicious cuisines, and the form of orthodox Japanese cuisine is Kyoto cuisine, especially kaiseki cuisine, which combines food and utensils.

After all the food was arranged, Director Miike said with a slight smile.

"Please!"

Although I use English and have a traditional Japanese accent, I am decent and fluent.

The core of kaiseki cuisine is one soup and three dishes, including soup, pot dishes, grilled dishes, etc., based on which rice, appetizers, side dishes, pickles, and so on.

Kim Do-jun looked at the food on the table, and suddenly his appetite was opened, and when he looked at the sweet shrimp sashimi on the table, he picked up his chopsticks and picked up a slice.

Dip it in wasabi and soy sauce, put it in your mouth, and taste it slowly.

For a moment, Kim Do-jun felt that his eyebrows were about to fall.

The meat is elastic, chewy and chewy, not fluffy at all, and has a sweet taste.

Wasabi is freshly ground from fresh wasabi, which is clear and slightly sweet, and when you eat it, you can eat it with wasabi on one side and soy sauce on the other, which is completely multi-layered and multi-faceted.

Anderson doesn't know how to use chopsticks, so he can only use this fork to look at the food he likes, and start to do it himself.

Because they are all familiar people, there are not so many rules, and I don't often stay in Japan, so I definitely don't know much about these table manners, so Director Miike doesn't care.

Director Miike smiled slightly, looked at the two of them and spoke.

"Daojun, Anderson and I have known each other for many years, and we have always called him a friend, this time he came to Japan, or I specially invited him, his new movie, there is an Asian character in it, I want to recommend you to try!"

After speaking, he wiped his mouth and drank saliva.

Kim Do-jun was eating with his head down at this time, and after hearing what Director Miike said, he immediately stopped, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Director, but can I do it now?"

Kim Do-jun said a little unconfidently that he was not so confident in his acting skills.

A large part of the fact that "Hot Blooded College" can achieve such a high box office is actually due to the director and team, who are indeed very good.

And he is just acting in his true colors, and he doesn't have much strength to reflect.

The elements of action scenes and martial arts have replaced more eyes, expressions, words, and other microscopic and small places.

Fans are still immersed in the handsome actions of idols, and Kim Do-joon himself understands very well that if you want to improve your acting skills, it can't be solved with just one or two high box office films, at least, Kim Do-joon is not sure that he can play a better role now.

After speaking, he pouted and glanced at Director Miike.

Director Miike touched his chin after listening, one can speak English, the other can speak Japanese, he is old, and he is a little superior.

After thinking about it for a while, what Kim Do-jun said does make sense, the movie he made is the first one he starred in, although his acting skills are a little immature and immature, but it is not impossible to carve.

If jade is not cut, people don't know if they don't learn, and everyone understands this truth.

If you don't have a chance, where will you get the experience? No one is born to be an old actor, and no one is born to be an Oscar winner.

Many winners of major awards are constantly honing their acting skills in the accumulation of bad movies, and finally won everyone's recognition.

It's a little early, but it's not a must. (To be continued......)
