Chapter 781: Snacks
The organizers of the film festival did not go directly to Zhen Fan's room to talk to him, but when Zhen Fan went downstairs for dinner, a person in charge came, who was said to be the vice chairman of the organizer, an old man in his fifties who was in a very good mental state. But it looks like a middle-aged man in his forties.
"Hello, I am one of the heads of the organizers of this film festival, the contemptible surname is Zhao Pei Yu, I have long admired the name of Mr. Zhen, today I have met the real person, it is an honor!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and shook Zhen Fan tightly, turned sideways again, and let his body to one side, making a gesture of invitation with one hand, and caressing Zhen Fan's back with the other hand.
The two walked to the side of the hotel lobby and sat down on the sofa in the guest area. Zhao Peiyu said some things that have admired Zhen Fan's name for a long time, talking about his movies and the awards he won, and praised Zhen Fan as a national hero. It made Zhen Fan a little embarrassed, glanced at Melissa, who was standing next to him with a smile, and quickly interrupted.
"Chairman Zhao, don't mention these things, this time I came to participate in the film festival because the Huhai International Film Festival has a good reputation in the world, so I came here after receiving an invitation, but I don't know what else can serve you? Ability will definitely help! β
Zhao Peiyu seemed to have a good chat with Zhen Fan, and when he heard Zhen Fan say this, he smiled and said: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just a matter of inviting you to the stage as an award presenter, we discussed this matter with your assistant first, and if you agree, we will prepare for tomorrow's film festival." The festival spans a long time, from the film festivals of the various participating films to the final awards ceremony. We hope to be able to do it a little bit more impactfully. This Shanghai Film Festival is the most important film festival in China, and we hope to be better and more influential. β
Zhao Peiyu's words were very sincere. Of course, I also want to use the presence of some famous filmmakers to increase the influence. The big-name stars in China have basically arrived. But it's not enough to be a big name in China, because they don't have a prominent reputation abroad, and it's nothing to go out of Asia. In Hollywood, who knows Guo Xian? Except for Fei Bingbing, who can still be seen, basically no one can be selected.
But isn't there still a Zhen Fan now? So they spent a lot of effort and invited Zhen Fan with the most sincere attitude. This is the big name in Hollywood, and people all over the world know it. It's a pity that he didn't have a movie to participate in the selection. Otherwise, it is not impossible to operate a Best Actor at the Shanghai International Film Festival!
Asian countries have sent a lot of films, and even film desert countries like Vietnam have sent two films to the exhibition. In big entertainment countries like South Korea and Japan, there are more movies participating in the exhibition, and there are quite a few stars. After all, it's not the biggest event in the world, but it's the top event in Asia. Although the entertainment industry in their country is well developed. But internationally. It is still squeezed out of status by European and American countries. It can only be in the Asian region, where there is a gust of wind.
"What do you want me to do?" Zhen Fan looked at Zhao Peiyu and said.
"The ...... of the presenters"
"No problem!" Zhen Fan nodded.
Zhao Peiyu let out a long breath, and then said with a smile: "Thank you Mr. Zhen for your support, by the way, aren't you going to eat?" I'm in for a treat, let's go to the dining hall here, I know there's a more comfortable box, the environment is pretty good. Why don't we go over there? β
"Forget it, I made an appointment with my friend. I won't bother you! Zhen Fan stood up and shook hands with Zhao Peiyu to say goodbye, Zhao Peiyu did not persuade again, big stars, each has his own things to be busy, especially such a film festival, they are busy with various directors and CEOs of entertainment companies to contact and strengthen their feelings, which is understandable.
Waiting for Zhao Peiyu to walk away, Zhen Fan stood up and looked at Melissa and smiled, he was thinking about someone now, that is, Sister An, who had lost contact for a long time. According to Li Xingguo, Sister An lost contact with him and herself after coming to work in Huhai, but she didn't know what happened to her now.
He doesn't have Sister An's contact information, nor does he have any belongings that Sister An has with him to calculate her location, so he can only resign himself to fate, even if he is an immortal, he can't be omnipotent, let alone himself? Zhen Fan sighed and took Melissa out.
He didn't eat in the hotel, but went out to go to the snack street in Huhai, and by the way, Melissa and himself were satisfied. Because the snack street in Huhai is the same as in Beijing, and some of the tastes are even more authentic than those in Beijing. Zhen Fan put on a pair of sunglasses, he could have not worn them, he just had to change his form slightly, but he still decided to use the mentality of an ordinary person to integrate here.
The taxi driver took them to the area around the City God Temple. The snacks here are more rich in the characteristics of Shanghai and Haihai. Nanxiang xiaolongbao, crab roe xiaolong, egg skin soup, crab roe soup dumplings, Ningbo glutinous rice balls, eyebrow crisp, pork ribs rice cake, stinky dried tofu, hundred-leaf bun vermicelli soup, wontons, potstickers and so on. As soon as you get off the bus, the huge archway is hung on the top of the gate, with a few gilded characters written on it: Huhai Old Town God's Temple Snack Square, which looks like it makes people have an appetite.
Walking in, there are classical floors on both sides, all kinds of snacks are placed on both sides, and the street in the middle is full of small tables on both sides, all of which are placed in front of the faΓ§ade, a few plastic stools, people can sit on them casually, and then shout for what they want to buy.
There are the most buns here, and the people who eat them are full of juice, chatting, walking, shouting loudly, and some people raise their mobile phones to take pictures constantly.
Melissa was excited. She thinks this place is more fun than the snack street in the capital, and it is lively, she likes this atmosphere, and there are lively places in the United States, but there is such a strong human touch? So he pulled Zhen Fan and asked him to take pictures of himself, pose for himself, and gesture with scissor hands.
There are many beautiful foreigners like Melissa who take pictures here, most of them are tourists from European and American countries, and it is obvious that they have the same feelings about this place as Melissa has about this place. Fresh, lively and delicious, what could be more appealing than this?
Especially now when it is dark, all kinds of lights are lit up, and it is full of color, making people feel like the New Year. The few foreigners who walked in front of Zhen Fan were very excited, chattering about something. Zhen Fan can hear it, which is the very attractive meaning here.
found a random place to sit down, Zhen Fan asked Melissa to sit, and then went to the store to buy food, not much of each, but more variety, buy some soup dumplings, buy some rice balls, and buy some chaos and stinky tofu, and then bring them the same and send them to the table.
As soon as the soup bag was bitten, the juice flowed sideways, almost splashed on the body, Melissa smiled and stretched her neck to prevent the juice from slipping out, this way of eating is really a bit ugly, the person next to him looked interesting, so he picked up his mobile phone to shoot Melissa. Melissa was not unhappy, but cooperated very well to make a few more strange movements to eat soup dumplings, which caused the few photographers to smile and give Melissa a kind thumbs up.
It's just that the stinky tofu tastes a little stinky, and Melissa was very repulsive at first, but after seeing Zhen Fan dip the stinky tofu in the sauce, she was very happy to eat it in her mouth, so she also pinched her nose and tried to hold a piece with chopsticks, dipped it in the sauce, and put it in her mouth, trying not to inhale those disturbing smells, and when she ate it in her mouth, she still felt that it tasted very good. So he stretched out his chopsticks again.
In fact, people who have never eaten stinky tofu are not easy to accept stinky tofu. But once you get in touch with it, you feel that this is a very delicious thing, those smells that used to smell unsettling, and when you get used to eating them, it is a supreme aroma that will make your mouth water.
When one was finished, Melissa still wanted it, so Zhen Fan bought another one, Melissa took the lead, and ate more than half of it alone, then patted her belly and smiled: "If I live here, my weight loss plan will have to be put on the agenda, this is really a place that people can't bear to refuse, and there are delicious foods that people can't bear to refuse." β
Zhen Fan smiled, nodded and said, "I agree with your words, not only you, but many Chinese will have this feeling of yours." Food can only be done in moderation. β
While the two were talking, Zhen Fan's mobile phone rang, Melissa took it out of her bag, looked at it, handed it to Zhen Fan and said, "It's Chenghu's phone!" β
Zhen Fan took it and heard Cheng Hu say on the phone: "Where is Brother Zhen?" It turned out that after they had dinner, they went to Zhen Fan's room to chat, but no one was there, so they asked the front desk attendant, and the waiter said that he saw Zhen Fan and his assistant leave and didn't know where to go. That's when I called.
"Can't get over in the City God's Temple Food Street?"
"Come on, of course!" It was not Cheng Hu who spoke, but Guo Xian, who laughed and said, "I haven't been there for a long time, wait, we'll be here soon." Saying that, there were cheers from inside, probably Yuan Dongyu's voice. Then the phone hung up.
"They're coming!" Zhen Fan smiled at Melissa and spread out his hand, "Let's wait, take a stroll again, save some stomach, and I'll definitely have to eat later, I guess they are here for these foods!" β
Sure enough, after a while, Cheng Hu and Guo Xian, Yuan Dongyu and Yu Zishan came over. They got out of the car in a hurry, called Zhen Fan, and then said the specific location, and after a while, they found it, found a place to sit down, and then asked for food. Guo Xian is obviously familiar with this place, so he ordered a lot.
As soon as they came, someone recognized them immediately, so they attracted a large group of onlookers, Zhen Fan They didn't care, but the boss cared, the big stars were eating at their stalls, and it wasn't just one, this was a lot, so they hurriedly came out to greet them in person, and they also greeted some more, knowing that Zhen Fan waved his hand again and again and said enough.
"Everyone, eat it, I'm in for a treat today!" The boss is still quite atmospheric, this is a good time to increase popularity! (To be continued......)
