Chapter 537: The Envy of Men
Compared with the well-known cities in many countries in later generations, you can always see high-end Chinese restaurants. Today's Chinese food has not yet reached the point where it can be opened all over the world. Therefore, many Chinese who have just gone abroad will find it difficult to eat Chinese food.
Although the hotel booked for the crew, the catering provided tasted good. But for the crew members, this kind of buffet-like meal will feel tasteless if you eat it too many times, and it is too expensive to eat out.
Fortunately, this overseas shooting time was not very long, and everyone felt that they would just endure it. I don't dare to say anything else, this kind of blessing of going abroad to film is still quite good. The only thing that's a bit of a pity is that you can't move around freely.
But before leaving, the crew members were also reminded by the accompanying security, that is, to avoid going out alone as much as possible. The reason for this warning is that these so-called developed countries are more disdainful of Asians.
After returning to the hotel where they were staying, everyone walked to the French restaurant that was chartered. Seeing the luxurious decoration of the restaurant, many of the crew members said with emotion: "Wow, I'm afraid it's not cheap to eat in this restaurant, right?"
"That's nature! I asked before, and this seems to be a well-known restaurant in France, and the average per capita consumption is hundreds of dollars."
"What? A few hundred dollars? Then there are so many of us to eat, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money!"
"Who do you see that man? The big boss personally visited the class, how could he not be generous. In our opinion, eating a meal of hundreds of dollars will hurt you. But for the big bosses, it's all small money."
When the crew was led by the waiter to take their seats one after another, when they entered the restaurant and saw Xu Zhengdao's Zhou Yunfa and others, they were also very surprised: "Boss, why are you here? Is this to surprise us?"
"If you think it's a surprise, that's a surprise. I just arrived today, so I'm stopping by to see you. Everything's alright?"
"Good! It's just going abroad to film, isn't the cost a bit high?"
"Don't be afraid of high costs, as long as you make a good movie, when the movie is released in the future, we will have a chance to earn it back. You three A-level artists are the leading actors, and the box office of this movie, I am aiming for more than 40 million."
"Wow, forty million, it's hard, right?"
"Is it difficult? Didn't the God of Gamblers you filmed before also exceed 40 million at the box office? This movie, from the plot to the shooting, has taken a lot of thought, how can it not reach 40 million? I'm confident in your box office appeal!"
Listening to Xu Zhengdao's confidence, Zhou Yanfa and Zhang Guorong showed a wry smile. On the contrary, Zhong Puhong, who is the heroine, looks extremely calm. It seems that the box office is not concerned about her at all.
It's just that Zhong Puhong was a little surprised that Xu Zhengdao, who was chatting with Zhou Yanfa and others, did not shy away from anything at all, and directly took her into his arms, and said with a smile: "Did you guess that I would come over today?"
"Let go of me! I knew that, but I heard Director Wu say that someone invited us to a big dinner, and I guessed that it should be you."
Although he was happy in his heart, Xu Zhengdao used this way to declare his ownership of her. But Zhong Puhong still felt a little embarrassed, and directly pushed Xu Zhengdao away, but did not shake off the hand holding her.
What really surprised Zhong Puhong was Lizhi, who was standing behind Xu Zhengdao and acting extremely quiet and calm. As a woman, she is very sensitive to the fact that this Lizhi is very different from before.
This difference is more that Lizhi has become more feminine. Why is this happening, think about it, and know why!
After chatting for a while, Xu Zhengdao condoled with the crew members again, and then asked Lizhi to inform the restaurant that the food could be served. As the boss, he still chose to sit in the box, and then Zhong Puhong and Li Zhi sat next to him.
Those who are eligible to enter the box are naturally the actors and directors of the crew. After everyone sat down, Xu Zhengdao also smiled and said, "Ah Rong, what do you want to drink? Red or white? You don't drink beer, do you?"
"When you eat Western food, it is naturally paired with red wine. Order a few bottles of high-end red wine, don't you feel distressed?"
"Okay! You're in charge of ordering drinks, as long as you don't get drunk."
"Surely not! If you really want to drink and make mistakes, Director Wu will inevitably nag again. During this time, he was every day
Rushing to catch up with the schedule, saying that one more day of filming will cost one more day. If you get drunk, you won't be able to shoot tomorrow, but you'll be in trouble."
Director Wu didn't mind Zhang Guorong's complaints, but he also smiled bitterly: "Rong Zai, it's really not me who knocks on the door. It's that the budget is there, if I really want to overspend, I will be criticized by Lao Yuan when I go back!"
Listening to the conversation between the two, Xu Zhengdao also smiled and said, "As a director, it is necessary to save costs. But I've heard it before, and the current filming progress is okay. Old Wu, within the planned time, you should be able to finish the shooting, right?"
"Yes! Before joining the group, the script was sent to Ah Fa and them, so the filming progress was relatively fast."
"What about quality?"
"That's fine! The three of them got together to film, and they really had a tacit understanding."
chatted about some things filmed by the crew, and the restaurant waiters also began to serve dishes one after another. Seeing the exquisite Western food in front of them, everyone also knows that this kind of Western food is really a high-end Western food worthy of praise.
Instead of that, fried steak is served as a Western meal. Eating and drinking, the people who are rarely reunited in a foreign country also eat and drink to the fullest. Knowing Xu Zhengdao's character, everyone also omitted the toasting link.
If you drink a good amount, then drink more. If the amount of alcohol is poor, then drink less, no one is forced!
To the surprise of Xu Zhengdao, Zhou Yunfa and others, Zhong Puhong also drank two glasses with Lizhi very politely. Seeing that the two were so polite and friendly, everyone seemed to be relieved, but they also envied Xu Zhengdao's good luck.
Today's Zhong Puhong is undoubtedly the most popular actress in Xiangjiang, and there are naturally many men who are eager to kiss Fangze. It's a pity that she now belongs to Xu Zhengdao, and even those celebrities and gentry in Xiangjiang don't dare to provoke her easily.
As for Lizhi, who is the winner of the beauty pageant, it is rumored that many rich people admire her during the beauty pageant. But no one expected that after winning the championship, they didn't enter the showbiz, but became Xu Zhengdao's personal assistant.
But Zhou Yunfa and others know that no matter how famous they are, they must give some respect and politeness when facing Lizhi. Such a status is unattainable by any artist in the company.
Of course, Zhong Puhong, the boss's pillow person, is definitely not in this case!
was full of wine and food, and the cast and crew did not go out, but went back to the hotel to rest. The only one who didn't go back to the hotel was naturally Zhong Puhong, who was taken away by Xu Zhengdao. For this kind of specialness, Zhong Puhong is naturally not easy to refuse.
But to her surprise, Zhong Puhong, who was taken into the car by Xu Zhengdao, did not return to the villa immediately. Instead, under the instructions of Xu Zhengdao, he drove to the bustling commercial street in the city, and then stopped in the nearby parking lot.
Seeing that Lizhi, who had followed out earlier, had not followed behind, Zhong Puhong also felt quite happy. It can also be seen from this that the man next to her still respects her very much, and as always, he gives women the favor they want.
And shopping, she naturally likes it. But in Xu Zhengdao's opinion, Zhong Puhong's mood is better, and he can get better gentle enjoyment tonight!
