496 Encountering old acquaintances in a foreign land
Yu Dongqing's family of three stayed at the Sheraton St. Gabriel's Hotel, which is a Chinatown nearby, and it is very convenient to eat.
After the three of them washed up in the room, they went straight to Chinatown.
Los Angeles' Chinatown is connected to Old Town and is one of the largest Chinese communities on the West Coast of the United States.
Standing at the corner of the street, you can see the architectural style of the Chinese 70s.
There is an antique Chinese archway at the gate, the street is full of red lanterns, and the shop signs are all in traditional characters.
Yu Dongqing unexpectedly found a hot pot restaurant called "Donglai Shun"!
Yanjing's "Donglai Shun" actually opened here?
Yu Dongqing and the three of them entered the hot pot restaurant, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw some traditional decorations of old Yanjing, which made people feel that they had really returned to Yanjing.
When I asked the boss at the counter, it was really a branch of Donglaishun.
found an empty place, and the family of three ordered food and ate it with great interest.
The simple and delicate copper hot pot, the red and white mutton slices, the delicious salty sauce, and the fragrant and light soup base make the taste really a bit Yanjing.
Yes, yes, it's pretty good to be able to eat such an authentic hot pot in this place.
At this time, two more oriental men walked in, Yu Dongqing didn't pay attention to who came in, Yu Tongtong's eyes were sharp, and he said in a low voice: "Dad, auntie, our domestic martial arts star Li Yunjie also came to eat hot pot." ”
Li Yunjie?!
Yu Dongqing raised his head and looked at the door, just making eye contact with a man with a peaked cap, it was really Li Yunjie!
Li Yunjie also recognized him, and walked over with a smile on his face.
"Director Yu! Is your family here for a tour? ”
"Yes, take the kids out for a walk." Yu Dongqing replied with a smile: "Are you?" ”
"I'm filming here."
"Coming to Hollywood? Yes, yes, come, sit down, and eat together. Yu Dongqing stood up and greeted warmly.
Li Yunjie was not polite, said hello to Mingmei and Yu Tongtong and sat by the hot pot, the other man was his agent Zhang Dongming, Yu Dongqing had also seen it.
A few people sat down, Yu Dongqing asked the boss to add food and wine, and several people chatted while eating.
It is undoubtedly a pleasure to be able to eat hot pot with friends in a foreign country.
"Hehe, I met that I was not used to coming to the United States, especially this diet. I heard that this Donglai Shun hot pot tastes very authentic, so Jin specially came over with Brother Zhang. Li Yunjie said.
"Taste it, it tastes good."
Yu Dongqing used chopsticks to give each other another piece of mutton slices.
"Well, it's okay, it has the taste of Yanjing." Li Yunjie tasted it and praised it repeatedly.
"Come, let's meet in a foreign country, have a drink!" Yu Dongqing raised his beer glass.
The four of them touched a glass.
Everyone chatted while eating, chatting and chatting, and naturally talked about movies.
"Director Yu, I heard that the "East and West Poison" you filmed has been released in China, how is the situation?" Zhang Dongming asked.
"It's not good, it's a box office loss." Yu Dongqing told the truth.
"But it's highly rated, isn't it?" Zhang Dongming said: "Actually, I also know that Director Yu, your purpose in making this film is not to box office, but to win awards." ”
That's not what I'm trying to do.
But now many people on the Internet are talking about it, and Yu Dongqing doesn't bother to explain.
"Hey, tell me, Yun Jie, what are you making in Hollywood?" Yu Dongqing brought the topic to this.
"It's an action movie, called "Highway Warrior", which mainly tells the story of a special forces soldier who fights terrorists and saves the world, mainly on the road." Li Yunjie replied with a smile.
"Uncle, then you must play the hero who saves the world in the film, right?" Yu Tongtong interjected.
She likes to watch Li Yunjie's martial arts films.
As for Ling Hu Chong's Dugu swordsmanship played in "Smiling Proud Jianghu", he is much more handsome than his father dancing with branches in his grandmother's small yard when he was a child.
But unexpectedly, Li Yunjie listened to Yu Tongtong's words, and his face was a little ugly.
"Tongtong, my uncle didn't play the hero who saved the world in the play, but played a big villain." Li Yunjie also told the truth.
"Huh?! Why, uncle, you play all the heroes in domestic movies. Yu Tongtong was taken aback.
"Tongtong, Uncle Li is an actor, playing the villain must be a plot need." Seeing this, Mingmei hurried out to relieve the siege.
Yu Tongtong was very smart, and seeing that the atmosphere was not very good, he immediately stopped asking.
Maybe it was Yu Tongtong's words that talked about his sore spot, Li Yunjie sighed, picked up the beer glass and drank it all.
"Come, eat the vegetables, eat the vegetables." Mingmei hurriedly greeted.
and Li Yunjie only met occasionally, and they separated after eating.
Back at the hotel, they stayed in a luxurious double suite, two bedrooms and a living room.
After taking a shower, Yu Tongtong lay on the bed in his room and played with his mobile phone, while Yu Dongqing and Mingmei chatted in the living room.
Speaking of meeting Li Yunjie today, Mingmei said: "Husband, it seems that Li Yunjie is not going well in Hollywood." ”
"How can it be so smooth?" Yu Dongqing smiled: "You also see that Hollywood is all white and black, how many Asian faces are popular? ”
"Then I have to come."
"People, they always want to break through themselves, whether it's acting or the market." Yu Dongqing said with a smile.
In fact, Li Yunjie came to Hollywood to play a villain, and the treatment was much better than Jet Li in the original time and space.
Jet Li broke into Hollywood and filmed the action movie "Lethal Weapon 4", in which he played the role of Gu Huaxing, the first-class gangster coach of fists and feet kung fu (the villain).
The film is two hours long, and Jet Li has very few scenes in the film, only three scenes and one sentence of English dialogue.
Pretty miserable.
It only developed step by step later.
Mingmei heard this and sighed slightly: "Domestic stars all want to come to Hollywood, when I was filming in Zhongwei, I chatted with Liang Xiyan, and she said that she also wanted to come to Hollywood for development." ”
"A place to become a god and preach." Yu Dongqing said with a smile.
"Yes, Hollywood is too strong now, I heard that during the Spring Festival this year, the box office of "Silver Star Empire 4" was as high as 6.3 billion, nearly 3 times that of "East Becomes West", which is higher than "Smiling Proud Jianghu".
Yu Dongqing nodded.
This time and space is different from the original time and space, Hollywood blockbusters began to lose ground in the mainland, and they are still very popular here.
Several blockbusters are introduced every year, especially during the Spring Festival, and the box office champions are basically Hollywood blockbusters.
Science fiction films, in particular, are the world of American blockbusters.
It's not that foreign films are too powerful, it's really that domestic films can't be played.
But thinking about the original time and space, domestic blockbusters have only just risen, and it has only been a few years to compete with Hollywood.
Of course, it's just a casual conversation between couples.
"Go to bed, it's not early, I'm going to go around tomorrow." Yu Dongqing said.
