Chapter 834 Go to New York to attend the premiere of "Heroes"
"Minghua, are you in San Francisco?"
"No, Lili and I are in Los Angeles with Xinxin." Fang Minghua used The speakerphone was also heard by Li Li.
"We have fallen in love with a manor. It is large and beautiful. We have bought it. You can bring your two children here to enjoy it."
Fang Minghua briefly explained what happened.
On the other side of the phone, Song Tangtang was not surprised.
With Fang Minghua’s current funds, she also believed that he could buy an island in the Pacific, let alone a manor.
She was anxious to tell her own story.
"Minghua, I called today to talk about this matter. "Hero" filmed by Zhang Yimou has been released in China. We have discussed with Warner Brothers and are preparing to release it in North America in mid-July. He will lead the creative team to come immediately In order to increase publicity and promotion in the US road show, director Spielberg and three young actors from "Harry Potter" attended the premiere as special guests to support Zhang Yimou. We also hope you can participate."
< br>"When is the premiere scheduled?" Fang Minghua asked.
"June 18th, New York."
Today is the 12th. Doesn’t that mean we can’t go to Alaska again?
Fang Minghua was stunned.
Seeing no reply from here, Song Tangtang asked hurriedly: "What's wrong? Is there anything going on?"
"There's nothing wrong here, cousin, Minghua will be there on time." Before Fang Minghua could answer, Li Li said into the mobile phone from the side.
"Okay, I've given your mobile phone number in the United States to Zhang Yimou and Wu Tianmin. They will contact you and let you know how to arrange it." Song Tangtang spoke quickly and without any hesitation.
"Okay." Fang Minghua had no choice but to say.
After hanging up the phone, Fang Minghua sighed: "Lili, it seems that I won't be able to go to Alaska this summer."
"It doesn't matter, my cousin's arrangements are important." Li Li said .
Since he didn’t have time to go to Alaska, Fang Minghua was not in a hurry to return to San Francisco. He simply took his mother and daughter to Orlando and Miami in Florida for a few days to experience the sunshine and beaches of the southern summer.
Finally, Li Li took Xinxin by plane from Miami to San Francisco, while Fang Minghua took a flight to New York.
Originally, Fang Minghua wanted Li Li and his daughter to go to New York with him. Anyway, the premiere only ended in one day. If you wanted to have fun, you could still spend two days in New York. But Li Li thought about it and refused.
"I won't go. I'm always flying around. I'm worried that Xinxin won't be able to bear it. Besides, I took her to New York."
"Okay, I'll go early. Come back soon." Fang Minghua didn't force him.
He actually understood what Li Li was thinking.
I don’t want to see acquaintances from China, Wu Tianmin, Zhang Yimou, etc.
On the one hand, my identity is a little embarrassing, and I don’t want the relationship between the two to spread to Xijing and bring unnecessary impact to Fang Minghua and her cousin.
I will only be your woman in America.
This is Li Li’s principle.
Fang Minghua’s flight was at eight o’clock in the morning. Three hours later, he landed at Newark Liberty International Airport in New York.
Fang Minghua carried the tow trolley box out of the waiting hall, and was not in a hurry to take the subway to the city. He had already spoken to Wu Tianmin on the phone yesterday, and today Shengshi Film and Television's North American branch would send someone to pick him up at the airport.
I didn’t see the staff holding the Chinese sign. Fang Minghua was wondering when he saw a young woman in her thirties hurriedly walking towards this side. She had long black hair and was wearing a black T-shirt and a white high-waisted suit. pants to highlight your impressive figure.
“Minghua!”
The woman waved to him with a smile. When the young woman took off the huge sunglasses on her face, Fang Minghua recognized that it was Liu Xiaoli.
"Why are you here?" Fang Minghua was surprised.
"I'll pick you up. I told Director Wu that everyone is busy, so don't bother others. I'll pick you up when I have nothing to do. The road was so busy that I was almost late."
"Where's Sissi?" "
"Waiting at home, she was clamoring to pick you up, but I was worried that there were too many people here and it was too noisy, so I didn't let her come." Liu Xiaoli explained, and was about to help Fang Minghua carry the trolley suitcase.
"No, it's only a few hours since the flight. I'll do it myself."
The two of them left the terminal. Liu Xiaoli asked Fang Minghua to wait while she went to the parking lot to drive.
Ten minutes later, a black Buick GL8 slowly stopped in front of him. Liu Xiaoli stuck her head out of the window and motioned for him to get in. He actually drove a celebrity nanny car!
Putting the trolley case in the trunk, Fang Minghua got in the car. There were only four seats in the front and rear rows, which seemed particularly spacious.
"Did you buy this?" Fang Minghua asked.
“Yes, Sissi is getting older now, and she needs to put on makeup, change clothes, and sometimes rest when filming on location, so I just bought this Buick. It has a lot of space inside, so I can sit or lie down. Comfortable.”
Liu Xiaoli said while driving.
“I just came back from filming. I didn’t have time to change cars, so I drove this one to pick you up.”
With the release of the three Harry Potter films, Liu Yifei has become a household name in the United States and China As a star, the pay is also rising all the way.
The salary for the four films this year has reached 4 million US dollars, which is the same as the salary for the other two young actors.
After arriving in the city, the car went straight to the Upper East Side.
Fang Minghua realized that he was not driving in the direction of the hotel he had booked, so he asked: "Xiao Li, where are you going?"
"Go to my house, Sissi is waiting for you at home, let's go too Don’t go out to eat, just stay at home and I’ll cook for you.”
“Okay,” Fang Minghua agreed.
Liu Xiaoli's home is located in the Lenox Hill area. There are neat rows of townhouses here. Liu Xiaoli's car parked in front of a villa. As soon as Fang Minghua got out of the car, he saw the door open. A girl wearing a T-shirt and shorts came out.
It’s Liu Yifei.
Compared with the previous two years, she has changed a lot and has become a slim girl.
"Mom, godfather." The girl greeted, a little shy on her face.
Fang Minghua smiled and nodded.
I felt embarrassed and didn’t even think of buying a gift for the girl.
The three of them entered the living room, and Liu Xiaoli said to Liu Yifei: "Sissi, you talk to your godfather, and I will cook for you."
It was obvious that the little girl was a little nervous, and she behaved well on the sofa, unlike her own child Ruirui, who couldn't sit still at all, sitting cross-legged for a while and lying down for a while, without any rules.
Of course they are separated by one layer after all.
Actually, the two of them had nothing to talk about. Fang Minghua just asked about Liu Yifei's filmmaking situation and study knowledge, and Liu Yifei answered all questions.
"Sissi, let me ask you a question." Fang Minghua suddenly thought of something.
“Huh?”
"The first two Harry Potter films were directed by Zhang, and the third one was directed by Chen. What do you think are the differences between the two directors when filming on location?"
"Yeah" Liu Yifei Wai He was lost in thought, and after a while he said: "Director Zhang is also very serious when filming. , doesn’t smile at all, and is very strict. If it doesn’t work, he will do it again. Director Spielberg sometimes can’t stand his persistence.” Kind uncle! "
Huh?
“Then let me ask you Sissi, who would you like to film with?”
Liu Yifei thought for a moment before saying, "Let's go with Director Zhang. Although the requirements are very strict, I learned a lot of knowledge!"
Fang Minghua laughed after hearing this.
This is indeed a different style of filming between the two.
The actresses who worked with Zhang Yimou all imprinted his filming style and became Mou girls, but they had never heard of showgirls.
"No matter which director you are, you must study hard." Fang Minghua did not forget to remind him.
The two chatted for a while. After a while, Liu Xiaoli brought out three dishes one after another, and asked Liu Yifei to serve rice.
The three of them washed their hands and sat around the dining table. Fang Minghua took a look.
Heh.
It turned out to be a random stew from the Northeast.
