for Advance Chapter
Fan Bingbing has practically been banned from the Beijing film industry, but Wu Kebo has strong connections in the Hong Kong film industry, so Fan Bingbing isn't too nervous. However, to her and Wu Kebo's surprise, Wu Mingxuan didn't replace her and kept Fan Bingbing in the role of Bai Jie.
Liu Tao would have been the most suitable actress a few years later, but it's only early 2008, and Liu Tao is busy getting married, so he wouldn't have had the energy to film. Even if he had, it wouldn't have been the same quality as later films. Therefore, Wu Mingxuan saw Fan Bingbing, the shrew, as the perfect fit.
It wasn't really a betrayal, having served her well before, and since the role suited her perfectly, Wu Mingxuan naturally had no plans to replace her. Huayi wasn't a significant figure in his eyes, and the two Wang brothers hadn't mentioned the matter, pretending it didn't exist.
Watching Wu Mingxuan, who was concentrating on directing and managing the set, Liu Yifei felt that her new godfather wasn't really that annoying. At least his talent and abilities were undeniable.
While the actors were filming in a fragmented fashion, and were practically utterly awful while filming on Green Studio, Liu Yifei was different. She felt this film would be truly amazing once it was completed.
After completing and confirming the more challenging shots, Wu Mingxuan handed the simpler ones to his assistant director, Guan Hu. He couldn't afford to waste all his time on such trivial matters; a true director would be able to maintain a sound overall control.
"It's almost six o'clock now. What do you want to eat tonight? I've known you as my daughter for so long, and it seems I haven't taken you out to dinner yet. So, let's eat out today, go shopping, or maybe go see a movie together?"
Liu Yifei looked at her godfather, Wu, in surprise. What was going on? She couldn't understand. Shouldn't he just take her to a hotel room and do all sorts of harm to her? Could it be that this guy has changed his personality and wants to play the pure love game with her?
Since she couldn't figure it out, she decided to give up. She had no right to refuse anyway, so Liu Yifei suddenly replied with a hint of mischief, "How about we go get some hot pot? Authentic Shancheng hot pot, the kind so spicy it'll make you sweat."
"Sure, let's go get some hot pot then."
Liu Yifei was completely stunned when Wu Mingxuan dragged her to eat hot pot. During filming, as a leading actress with a lot of looks to her name, she rarely ate hot pot, as it would easily cause acne and inflammation, which would seriously affect filming. She hadn't expected him to actually agree.
As celebrities, they couldn't just go to any hot pot restaurant, so they chose a high-end one with a private dining room. Once they entered the room and removed their disguises, they were immediately recognized by the waiter.
"The autographs and photos will be fine later. Can we eat first? I just came from the set and I'm very hungry."
"Oh, okay, Director Wu, here's the menu. Just order whatever you want. You're our great benefactor in Luoyang. You... you're so handsome in person! This isn't for Hua Zai Chengcheng and the others at all."
"Thank you. Then we'll have braised pig throat, thousand-layer tripe, two sets of brain flower, duck blood, tender beef, Meilin luncheon meat... and kidney flower. By the way, do you have lamb kidneys? I usually like to eat that when I eat hot pot."
The beautiful female manager looked back and forth at Wu Mingxuan and Liu Yifei beside her, and said with a knowing look, "Yes, and they're fresh."
"Okay, I'll have one."
Wu Mingxuan didn't mean anything else; he simply loved eating this. He'd gotten used to it after going out with the older men like Brother Hu. He'd be really uncomfortable not eating it. Who knew if it actually worked? It wasn't expensive, and the taste was okay.
The first things to arrive were, of course, some snacks and tidbits, especially the crispy pork, which could be eaten raw or cooked in a hot pot. It was a must-have when eating traditional hot pot.
Liu Yifei doesn't like fried food very much, so she looked at Wu Mingxuan eating, and then asked curiously: "Why did you take me out to eat? Aren't you afraid of gossip?"
"I'm a director, okay, and I'm your godfather. Is it so abnormal for a godfather to take his goddaughter out to eat? By the way, how long has it been since you last came out to eat like this? Forget it, looking at you, I guess you can't even remember how long it has been."
The upper limit of an actor depends on talent, but the lower limit has nothing to do with talent. It's all because of his or her lack of care, effort, and seriousness, and he or she is not approachable or down-to-earth. Liu Yifei's biggest problem is that she is not approachable and down-to-earth enough. She has really lived like a little fairy.
So what Wu Mingxuan needs to do now is to bring her back to earthly life, to let her experience a bit of worldly pleasure. After all
, the Feng Baobao she plays is not the Baoer Sister from "Under One Person." Although she is a white, rich and beautiful character, she is not so far away from the world. Liu Yifei is no fool, so she understood Wu Mingxuan's meaning and picked up a piece of crispy meat, chewing it slowly.
As beautiful celebrities, goddesses in the eyes of many, etiquette and good habits are very important when eating. Therefore, they chew their food many times and swallow it slowly after chewing.
The benefits of this are that it can activate the facial nerves and aid digestion. It also prevents overeating and binge eating, allowing for reasonable and scientific food control.
Wu Mingxuan loves watching beautiful women eat, especially celebrities. They look truly beautiful when they eat, though it can be quite time-consuming.
Liu Yifei's speed is pretty good, but Ju Jingyi's is the worst. According to a friend in the industry, she can chew a mouthful of rice for over a minute, and a whole meal can take her over an hour. And the scariest part is, she eats less than a third of what a normal person would.
"Are you afraid of spicy food?"
"Uh... huh... ha... a little, but I like spicy food. By the way, if I get acne tomorrow, you won't be angry, right?"
"No, as long as I don't get hemorrhoids, you should still drink Jiaduobao. It can relieve greasiness and spiciness. As for the only thing, you can just drink mine later."
Liu Yifei, whose face was already red from eating the red hot pot, now looked even redder. The car really caught her off guard. Suddenly, she felt that the only soy milk in her hand was not fragrant anymore, so she decisively picked up the Jiaduobao and started drinking it.
Wu Mingxuan continued to eat his favorite brain and lamb kidneys. What they loved most in the past was eating hot pot and drinking cold beer, which was even more refreshing than eating skewers. In fact, men's happiness is sometimes so simple and unpretentious.
