Chapter 757 Naming Liu Yifei
That night, Fang Minghua called Song Tangtang in China and told him about it. Song Tangtang was also confused on the other end of the phone.
"Liu Xiaoli? This name is very common. There seems to be more than one named Liu Xiaoli in the several art troupes I am in. Which art troupe is she from?"
"Wu Tianmin didn't say anything on the phone. "
"Okay, Minghua, after all your hard work, maybe you are actually my comrade-in-arms. Besides, even if not, why would Spielberg not agree to the actor that Brother Wu and Zhang Yimou like? You go and take a look first. If it doesn’t work, I’ll talk to Nick, their vice president of Warner Bros.”
"As you command, wife!"
Early the next morning, Fang Minghua bid farewell to Li Li and her daughter and embarked on the journey to Los Angeles.
Sitting on the plane, looking out the window at the rainy San Francisco, Fang Minghua thought to himself.
When you come to San Francisco, you have to go to Los Angeles, and not just once. In the future, Shengshi Film and Television and Warner Bros. will cooperate in depth, and both Song Tangtang and himself will go to Los Angeles more often.
I might as well move my family to Los Angeles.
At least the sun is shining here. If you buy a mansion by the sea, you can face the sea every day and enjoy the sunshine and beaches of Southern California.
However, Fang Minghua found it quite difficult. At the very least, he had to convince Li Li to leave San Francisco State University and work at a university in Los Angeles. However, Li Li seemed to be very satisfied with the state university and had no plans to leave her job.
Also, Ashleypress is also in San Francisco, unless we move here together.
Forget it, I won’t move home for the time being. I’ll buy a villa in Los Angeles so I don’t have to stay in a hotel. Let’s wait until it’s empty.
When we arrived at Los Angeles International Airport, just like last time, we first went to Union Station to take the train to Burbank.
This time, Wu Tianmin and the others did not stay at the Portofino Hotel, but at the Holiday Inn Burbank Media Center with better conditions, at least a three-star hotel. Fang Minghua also registered for a room here.
After entering the room and briefly washing up, Fang Minghua went upstairs and knocked on the door of Wu Tianmin’s room. No one answered. He probably went to the production crew at Warner Bros. headquarters.
He was not in a hurry. He would wait until Wu Tianmin and the others returned to the hotel at noon to inquire about the situation in detail.
Fang Minghua turned around and went down the stairs, and saw an Oriental woman coming upstairs. She was in her thirties, wearing a down jacket and a black turtleneck sweater. She had short hair and beautiful, bright teeth.
After glancing at the other party, Fang Minghua withdrew his gaze. It was very impolite to stare at a strange woman all the time.
Back in his room, Fang Minghua took off his windbreaker, half-lying on the bed and turned on the TV. He was watching TV boredly when he heard a gentle knock on the door.
He thought it was a waiter at first. When he opened the door and took a look, he was stunned. It was the young woman I met on the stairs just now, but this time she brought a little girl with her, who looked like her daughter.
"Mr. Fang, I'm sorry to bother you." The young woman said.
Speak standard Mandarin!
"Are you?"
"I am Liu Xiaoli, and this is my daughter Liu Qianmeiko Qianqian, called uncle."
"Hello, uncle." The little girl called out obediently. Fang Minghua took a closer look. She was about ten years old. Although It hasn't grown yet, but you can tell it's a beautiful embryo.
It’s just that the little girl looks familiar.
"Oh, are you my wife's comrade? Come in." After saying that, he turned around and walked inside.
Liu Xiaoli took her daughter's hand into the room and sat on the sofa, looking a little embarrassed.
Fang Minghua didn't look at her, just looked at the daughter beside her, who looked more and more like the same person.
Liu Yifei? Liu Tianxian? !
A person's name suddenly popped into Fang Minghua's mind!
Before coming to this era, Fang Minghua had read Liu Yifei’s resume on the Internet. It seemed that she and her mother had stayed in the United States for a period of time after her parents divorced. Her mother was a dancer, and she seemed to be named Liu Xiaoli. There were also pictures on the Internet Said she was very beautiful.
Look at it now, it’s really not bad!
A woman in her thirties, pretty with mature charm. Fang Minghua feels that Liu Xiaoli is more beautiful now than when she saw Liu Yifei in her thirties on the Internet.
At this time, Liu Xiaoli said: "Mr. Fang, I first apologize to you. Although I was also a dancer, I have never been in a cultural troupe. I pretended to be Mr. Song. Comrade, I'm really sorry."
"I already know that you actually studied dancing in the Wuhan Song and Dance Troupe and stayed with the troupe after graduation until you came to the United States." Fang Minghua said lightly.
"Mr. Fang, do you know me?!" This time it was Liu Xiaoli's turn to be surprised.
I don’t know you, but I know your daughter.
Fang Minghua said in his heart, but on the surface he looked enigmatic.
Liu Xiaoli didn’t dare to ask deeply, so she added: "Mr. Fang, Mr. Wu and Director Zhang also told you about my daughter. Our mother and daughter came all the way from New York, and I just wanted to It is very important for my daughter to play this role.”
“I can understand that it is not easy for you to raise a child alone in a foreign country. Since both Wu Tianmin and Zhang Yimou think that the child is good, they have. If you have acting talent, I'll help you fight for it," Fang Minghua said.
Liu Xiaoli was overjoyed when she heard this and quickly said to her daughter: "Sissi, thank you uncle quickly!"
"Thank you, uncle!" the little girl shouted crisply.
"You're welcome, but as I said, I'm helping you fight for it. I can't guarantee whether it will really succeed." Fang Minghua said with a smile.
"Uncle, you can definitely do it. Mom said you are so amazing." Before Liu Xiaoli could speak, the little girl said.
Ouch
Have you been so sweet-mouthed since you were a child?
Fang Minghua smiled and said nothing.
After chatting for a few more words, Liu Xiaoli took her daughter and left politely, but Fang Minghua suddenly stopped her.
"Ms. Liu, I have a suggestion."
"Mr. Fang, please tell me." Liu Xiaoli stopped.
"If Sissi takes the path of acting, and especially wants to develop in China, I suggest changing her name. Liu Qianmeiko looks like a Japanese name. I think you know the current attitude towards Japanese people in China."
"Mr. Fang, you are right. This name was changed by her grandmother. She didn't think so much about it at the time. I changed it immediately."
At this point, Liu Xiaoli paused and looked at Fang Minghua: "Mr. Fang, You are a great writer and have literary talent. Could you please give my daughter a new name?”
Huh?
Then it’s ready-made.
Fang Minghua pretended to think deeply for a moment: "Well, let's call her Liu Yifei, right?"
"Well, this is a good name, fresh and refined, elegant and fairy-like!" Liu Xiaoli praised it and said to her daughter next to her.
"Sissi, kowtow to Uncle Fang and thank him for naming you."
The little girl is very well-behaved, and kowtows as soon as she falls to the ground.
This shocked Fang Minghua. He quickly picked up the little girl and asked, "Ms. Liu, what are you doing?"
"I am from Harbin, and we have a custom in the Northeast. , whichever elder names the junior, the junior will kowtow," Liu Xiaoli explained in a serious manner.
"Really? My hometown is also in Shenyang, Northeast China. How come I haven't heard of this custom?" Fang Minghua asked with a smile.
"Mr. Fang, are you also from Nagada in Northeast China? Great, we are fellow villagers!" Liu Xiaoli's standard Mandarin immediately changed to a Northeastern accent, with a smell of corn crumbs.
Fang Minghua nodded, thinking in his heart.
This woman is amazing.
