"Yes, capitalists."
Gong Xue stood up, walked to the sink and washed her hands, then took the towel handed to her by Nan Yi and wiped her hands, "Is capitalist a good word?"
"Neither good nor bad. You go out to set up a stall, and you can't handle it by yourself, so you hire someone to help you. In fact, you are a capitalist. You used to be just a salaried actor, but one day, you bought a lottery ticket and won 10 million US dollars. You took the money to open a futures account in the futures market, and the money soon turned into 100 billion. You are very rich, right?"
Gong Xue was stunned for a moment and said, "One hundred billion, it's so much that I can't even imagine it."
"Although you have a lot of money, you are not a capitalist. At most, you can be called a craftsman. Capitalist is a neutral word, neither positive nor negative. Just like people can be divided into good and bad people, capitalists can also be divided into good and bad. This is a moral judgment of the individual, and has nothing to do with the overall attributes."
Nan Yi said, puffing up his biceps in front of the mirror, "I have been working hard to train my muscles since I was young, thinking that when I grow up I can work in a steel mill as a steelmaker like Pavel Korchagin, but who knew that I was deceived, he didn't know how to make steel at all.
However, I still wanted to work in the steel mill at that time, because I heard that the high temperature benefits in the steel mill were good, and there was sour plum soup to drink and ice cream to eat every day.
But later, my elementary school teacher shattered my dream. He told me that there was a unit called a non-staple food store, another unit called a meat processing plant, and there was a term called special supply guarantee.
A classmate of mine said something to me privately 18 years ago, and I still remember it to this day. "
"What are you talking about?"
"Fat meat is not tasty, it's too greasy. I like to eat ribs, and baby ribs are the best. I eat a big bowl of them every day."
"Eighteen years ago, I thought pork chops tasted better than fatty meat. How is that possible?" Gong Xue chewed on Nan Yi's words in her mouth, "Nan Yi, are you making up a story?"
"What kind of story are you making up? His father is the director of a meat processing factory, and his mother is in charge of issuing meat coupons at the Commercial Bureau. Do you think his family would be short of meat?"
"In 1971, I only ate meat once in the whole year. The meat was very fatty, and there were several pig hairs on the skin that had not been scraped off. I held it in my mouth for a long time, until it melted." Gong Xue said with a dazed look.
"You really don't know how to live. You can use the fat to make lard, which can be used to have several delicious meals. You won't be poor if you eat and drink, but you will be poor if you don't know how to calculate. When I first arrived at the educated youth point, I found that no one at the point knew how to live. The next day, I calculated and divided it out to live on.
After I divided it up, guess what, my life was so wonderful, with four dishes and a soup for every meal, and I was so sick of the meat that I would go back to eat there every now and then, just to get rid of the greasiness, get rid of the fat, and recall the good old days.
"You've never been a household tycoon, and you're at an age where you know how to eat. How many people can plan their lives? You went to the queue late, and you already knew what queue-hopping is all about, so of course you know how to plan." Gong Xue said, picking up the toothbrush and starting to squeeze toothpaste, "What are you going to do in the morning?"
"There is work to do. You should pack your clothes. The weather in Mumbai is hot, so you should bring more summer clothes and two autumn clothes." Nan Yi stopped shaving with the razor in his hand and asked, "Do you think I look good with a beard?"
"Keep it. I think it should look pretty good." Gong Xue said as she looked at Nan Yi's face through the mirror.
"Then I won't shave after today. Let's keep it and see."
In the bathroom, they first talked about capitalists, then discussed food and beards. After they were ready, Nan Yi went to the gym, put on a gas mask and did anaerobic core strength training.
Later in the morning, the school beauty received the results of the investigation on Yunyun.
"Nansheng, Yunyun met a Xiangkeng man named Shezai Ming in Sheyu. She paid a large sum of money and went to Xiangkeng through Shezai Ming's channels. Once she arrived in Xiangkeng, Yunyun was sold to a gang by Shezai Ming. She worked as a prostitute for nearly a year before she escaped by chance during an operation by the anti-pornography team.
Shortly after Yunyun escaped, Shezai Ming was hacked to death in Tsim Sha Tsui. We did not find any evidence to prove that it was Yunyun who did it, so it could just be a coincidence.
Afterwards, Bao Da Ting found a prostitute who frequented Bowl Lane. He learned from him that he was Yun Yun's regular customer and had taken care of Yun Yun's business many times within half a year.
The gossipmonger went to Bowl Lane Street to investigate and confirmed that what the client said was true. Yun Yun had indeed been engaged in the prostitution trade in Bowl Lane for a total of seven months, but there was a gap of two months between these seven months and the day she escaped.
After Bolan Street, Yun Yun went to Osaka through a human smuggler and continued to work in a brothel in Osaka. After nearly a year, Yun Yun suddenly changed her identity and became Kaede Iijima from Hokkaido, Japan. This identity was not forged, and there was a real person. "
"Japan does not have an ID card system, and data from different places are not interoperable. If Yun Yun happens to look similar to Iijima Kaede, it is not difficult for her to impersonate her in a different place. But Iijima Kaede should be dead. How did she die?" Nan Yi said.
"Due to the intensity of the investigation, we did not conduct an in-depth investigation. Nansheng, do you want to increase the intensity?"
"No need. It's enough to know that there is suspicion. No evidence is needed to support it. Please continue."
"Okay." The school beauty nodded and continued, "After becoming Iijima Kaede, Yunyun went to Tokyo and worked in a nightclub in Ginza."
"What kind of nightclub?"
There are two types of nightclubs in Ginza. One is a nightclub in the popular sense, which revolves around "women" and "female beauty"; the other is more like a brokerage platform, where guests go mainly to exchange what they have and what they need. The public relations inside are more like the brokers in ancient brokerage firms. A good public relations person has a lot of personal connections, and it is not a myth that they can earn over 10 billion yen a year.
"broker."
"Well, go on."
"Since she didn't have any connections in Tokyo, Yunyun's public relations work wasn't very good. When she was about to be fired by the mama-san, the president of Iida Trading Company, Kenji Koizumi, went to the nightclub and Yunyun was the one who was in charge of entertaining him.
On the first day, Kenji Koizumi spent 3.8 million yen in the nightclub. Because of this reason, Yunyun was able to continue working in the nightclub.
After that, Kenji Koizumi visited the nightclub many times, and his consumption was not low each time. However, Yun Yun did not use Kenji Koizumi to expand her network, but took the initiative to approach him and become his lover.
After becoming Kenji Koizumi's lover, Yun Yun was brought into Iida Trading Company and started as a new employee. Half a year later, she became Kenji Koizumi's lover. It was learned from many members of Iida Trading Company that Yun Yun was able to gain a foothold in Iida Trading Company and climb up the ladder not only because of her status as a lover, but also because of her strong actual work ability. "
The school beauty paused, and then began to introduce Kenji Koizumi's information, "Kenji Koizumi's wife is Koizumi Arieko, and Kenji Koizumi's original surname was Watanabe, and he was given his wife's family name after marrying into the Koizumi family. Iida Trading Company is actually an industry of the Koizumi family, and Kenji Koizumi does not have any shares.
Iida Trading Company has been engaged in the export of automobiles and motorcycles for only ten years, and its main markets are concentrated in Asia.
"Is the Koizumi family related to Honda Koizumi or political Koizumi?"
"It has nothing to do with either family."
Nan Yi asked again: "Koizumi Arieko should know about Yun Yun's existence?"
"You know, the reason why Kenji Koizumi was able to marry into the Koizumi family is because of his strong business ability. Arie Koizumi married him in order to keep Kenji Koizumi working for the Koizumi family. The two of them don't have any feelings for each other. They are just a couple on the surface, and they are playing with each other behind the scenes.
The relationship between the two was no secret within Iida Trading Company. Before Yun Yun, Kenji Koizumi had arranged for his lover to work in the trading company, and more than once, Koizumi Arieko turned a blind eye to this situation.
However, Yun Yun is different from previous lovers. Apart from her identity as a lover being criticized, her work ability is recognized by the middle and senior management of Iida Trading Company. It's just that she went too far in her relationship with Koizumi Kenji.
Once, Yunyun and Koizumi Kenji attended a business reception together. At the reception, Yunyun, perhaps drunk, actually presented herself as Koizumi's wife.
After this incident, Yun Yun soon appeared in the capital and became the head of the Jingtian Trading Company's Beijing office. According to Yun Yun's position in Jingtian Trading Company, this should be considered a demotion. "
"Interesting, is this Koizumi Arieko's move?"
"We haven't found out about this. The only people we could get in touch with were the lower-level members of Jingtian Trading Company. We didn't get in touch with the middle and higher-level members."
"Yes, I understand."
Intelligence gathering requires not only a large amount of manpower but also a large amount of financial resources. To Nan Yi, Yun Yun is not a very important person, and it is impossible for him to "spare no expense" to investigate her.
The investigation into Yun Yun was conducted under the premise of controlling limited human and financial resources, so it was naturally impossible to be too detailed and accurate.
According to what Nan Yi thought, Yun Yun should no longer care about her identity as Koizumi Kenji's lover. It is very likely that she has already communicated with Koizumi Arieko and got some kind of promise. In order to show her sincerity to Koizumi Arieko, she wants to find someone to marry as soon as possible.
"School Belle, I don't care who Yun Yun has been a lover with, or whether she will cheat on Liu Menghu. Since Liu Menghu doesn't care about Yun Yun's past, he naturally won't care about having a few more cheats on himself. Maybe he is the reincarnation of Fang Yiai, and he likes to pretend that his wife is cheating on him while he is watching.
I will call Yunyun and ask her to come out and meet me. You go find Huang Saner and tell her these words and ask her to relay them to Yunyun..."
After remembering Nan Yi's words, the school beauty went out to find Huang Saner.
…
Ten o'clock in the morning, in the cafe of the Great Wall Hotel.
Huang Saner walked into the coffee shop, glanced around the entire hall, and then went straight to a table.
"Yun Yun?"
"I am, who are you?" Yun Yun looked up at Huang Saner and asked.
Upon hearing Yun Yun's words, Huang San'er sat opposite Yun Yun and said, "People outside call me Huang San'er, you can call me that too. Should I continue to call you Yun Yun, or call you by your Japanese name Iijima Kaede? No matter what you call me, please allow me to say to you first: Welcome to the capital!"
"Heh, Nan Yi asked me out, but he didn't come himself, so he sent someone like you here?" Yun Yun looked at Huang Saner with disdain and said.
Huang Saner did not respond to Yun Yun's words, but continued to talk to himself: "The scenery in the capital is beautiful, and the people are very hospitable. Although Miss Iijima Kaede, you took off your clothes and went to Xiangzhen, took off your clothes and went to Osaka, took off your clothes and went to Ginza, and took off your clothes and went to live with your son-in-law, you are a bit lowly, but in terms of personality, we are still equal.
As long as they abide by the laws of our country and respect the basic moral standards of our nation, we welcome any foreign friends with a shameful past but who have turned over a new leaf to invest and do business here.
Luo Guanzhong once mentioned the allusion of "first courtesy and then force" in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Today, I will raise my status and play the role of Cao Cao here, and also raise Miss Iijima and let you play the role of Liu Bei. "
Huang Saner took out a hundred-dollar bill and put it on the table. "I'll buy you coffee. Goodbye. I hope we won't see each other again."
"Huang San'er, this shouldn't be your style of speaking. Nan Yi's grandson thinks highly of himself. If he has anything to say, he can just say it himself. Why would he ask you to... what's the idiom? Oh, a parrot imitating others' speech. Why is a country leopard pretending to be so powerful?"
"Ha, I told you, women like you are easy to get into trouble. There's no need to be polite to you. Just use whatever means you have." Huang Saner said, waving his hand, "Okay, Miss Iijima, I guess we won't see each other again."
Huang Saner picked up the phone and dialed the number besides the Great Wall Hotel.
"Master Nan, I've already met the person. This stinky circle is a rolling knife. Do you want me to ask people to paste big-character posters all over her door to publicize her glorious deeds?"
"Okay, there's nothing for you to do next. Go and focus on your own training class. Don't just focus on the pager. Going abroad is popular now, so English training is promising. You happen to have some connections in the education field, so it won't be difficult for you to get the qualification to run a school. Think about it carefully."
"Got it, Master Nan, I'm so confused."
Nan Yi hung up the phone, unpaused the VCR, and continued watching "Girls Commando Spring". He picked up the disposable dropper he had just put down with his left hand, put the dropper into the bowl of olive oil, and squeezed the dropper, and the oil was sucked into the dropper.
Nan Yi handed the dropper in his hand to Gong Xue and said, "Girls, be more skillful. Help me put the sequins in."
Gong Xue took the dropper and asked, "Which colors do you want?"
"You have a background in art, so you decide. It won't look good with just one, so you need at least three. You can come up with a plan for three color combinations."
"oh."
Gong Xue looked at the glass bowl filled with sequins on the table, hesitated for a while, picked up a piece, picked it up and put it into the dropper, then used tweezers to push the sequin deeper into the dropper, followed by the second piece, and the third piece. After a while, a color combination was ready.
Use scissors to cut the appropriate length, connect the two ends, and a sequin bracelet is ready.
Gong Xue put the bracelet on her hand and held it under Nan Yi's eyes. "How is it? Does it look good?"
Nan Yi turned the bracelet and examined it carefully. "It's quite good. Take it off and give it to me. I will wrap a layer of silver on the joint."
"Can you wrap silver?" Gong Xue said as she took off the bracelet.
"No, just do your best."
Nan Yi cut a long strip from a whole sheet of silver and tried to wrap silver around the joint of the bracelet. After several attempts, when a sheet of silver was almost used up, he finally achieved a tolerable result.
Following the same procedure, after wrapping all three bracelets, Nan Yi put them into a jewelry box.
"I bought four silver sheets and sequins just to make these three bracelets. The money from the silver sheets can be used to buy a few nice bracelets, right?" Gong Xue said as she looked at Nan Yi's solemn actions.
"Vulgarity, this is my father's brand, it can't be measured by money."
As Nan Yi spoke, he looked up at the TV screen and saw Igarashi holding the M72 LAW rocket launcher and firing at a target.
"Not bad acting, much better than yours, but the imitation is a bit heavy."
Gong Xue also glanced at the screen and said unhappily, "How are you better than me?"
"When I watch your movies, I am watching a certain role played by Gong Xue. You convey to me the message that you are acting. What I am watching is not Zhang San's life, but Zhang San's life played by Gong Xue. The traces of acting are very strong. In fact, what I see is Gong Xue, not the character itself."
Nan Yi pointed at the TV screen and said, "She is different. I ignored her true self and watched the life of the character. However, as I said just now, her imitation is a bit heavy. I seem to see Fusako Shigenobu."
"Who is Shigenobu Fusako?" Gong Xue asked.
"A female leader of the Red Army. This TV series is adapted based on her deeds."
"So, you're still praising her when you say she imitates well?"
"Yeah, that's a good imitation."
"How do you know the imitation is similar? Have you seen Fusako Shigenobu?"
"I haven't seen her, but she fits my imagination of Fusako Shigenobu. For example, everyone said that someone played Lin Daiyu well. Why was she so good? And who has ever seen the real Lin Daiyu? Isn't it because her performance fits everyone's imagination of Lin Daiyu?"
"Humph, you can just say she acted well, but why did you have to belittle me?"
Gong Xue snorted.
"Hehe, because I don't understand acting. You asked me to praise her acting, but I don't have the right words to describe it. The simplest way is to praise her and criticize her. With a reference, I don't need to use modifiers. I can pretend to understand even if I don't understand."
"If you don't understand, then don't pretend."
"That won't do. I have to say something whether I understand it or not, otherwise it will make me look shallow and uneducated."
"Virtue." Gong Xue rolled her eyes at Nan Yi. "What are we having for lunch? How about cold noodles? I suddenly want to eat cold noodles. The cold noodles from the state-owned Si Ruchun are the best."
"Whatever you want. Make me another bowl of iced mung bean soup. It's too hot. I can't eat without something cold."
"Okay, I'll cook the mung bean soup and put it on the windowsill for half an hour. I guarantee you'll be able to drink it and feel refreshed." Gong Xue responded to Nan Yi's behavior of cursing without using any dirty words in the same way.
At noon, Gong Xue really made cold noodles, but there was no iced mung bean soup. Instead, she cooked a bowl of hot spicy soup for Nan Yi.
After lunch, Nan Yi went out alone.
This afternoon, it happened to be the day when the K4 train arrived. Nan Yi went to the train station, bought a standing ticket and entered the platform to observe what goods the traders returning from Moscow were trading.
After bringing goods to Moscow, many traders will not return empty-handed. They will bring back some local specialties.
There are both large and small items, including vacuum cleaners, microwave ovens, electric teapots, Antelope radios, Zenit cameras, Commander watches, faceted glasses, etc. Some people also spend a lot of money to bring back candies and snacks, which can often be sold at a good price in China.
A round trip takes at least half a month. If you don’t earn three or two thousand yuan, you’d be embarrassed to tell others that you are a cross-border trader.
Nan Yi not only looked at the goods but also counted the heads. He wanted to roughly understand the number of traders who were currently running to the Soviet revisionists. On the Vasily Group's side, the bank had been delayed in opening, and the expansion of supermarkets was also subject to certain restrictions. Most of the goods shipped from Hunchun and Pioneer flowed into the black market.
Therefore, a certain friendship was established between Vasily and the black market controllers of the Soviet revisionists. The two sides sat down and discussed that in addition to playing the roles of suppliers and distributors, they should also try to establish a Chinese goods market in Moscow and enter the commercial real estate field.
Find a piece of vacant land, build a wall around it, draw a few white lines on the ground with lime powder, divide it into stalls, and then rent them out.
The market will still use the old method of paid ranking. There will be no fixed rent, but instead profit sharing. Whoever sells well will be able to occupy the best stall, have more "official" support, and enjoy the lowest profit sharing policy.
"How many?"
After all the passengers who got off K4 had left, Nan Yi turned around and asked the school beauty.
"253 confirmed, 61 suspected."
"Including those who didn't make this trip, and those who got off early in Northeast China and Hebei Province, as well as those in border cities, the scale is still good. It seems that there is a market potential."
Nan Yi hardly participated in the implementation of the Soviet revisionist strategy. Scarlett and Liang Huiwen were in charge of the decision-making level. The Intelligence and Policy Committee and the Nan Office provided strategic and advisory support. Not to mention that the Nan family had a mature feasibility investigation mechanism. Before a plan was implemented, it had to undergo detailed investigation and demonstration.
Nan Yi came to the train station to observe the traders just to verify whether the plan was reliable through his own eyes and from his own perspective.
After the observation
"Iijima-chan, what can I do for you?" Nan Yi said affectionately after answering the phone.
"Nan Yi, what do you want to do?"
"I have a friend named Hattori Heiji. He used to be a detective in the Osaka Metropolitan Police Department. Now he doesn't work with the organization, but works alone. As long as he is paid, he is happy to help others with investigations. Recently, he has been relatively free. He even called me yesterday and wanted to invite me to go to Hokkaido for fun.
Oh, I don't have the time for that. I'm still waiting for Iijima-chan and my second brother-in-law to get married. Would you mind letting my son pee in the bucket for your descendants?"
"What do you want to do?"
"Iijima-chan, what's wrong with you? I don't understand what you're saying. Ah, you're probably tired. If it were me, I'd feel tired too. You've worked hard. Over the years, you've been repeatedly tortured by illness. Syphilis has gone, gonorrhea has come, genital warts have lined up, and AIDS is still standing on a high ground reciting poetry:
Ah, dear Iijima-chan;
I am your admirer, Snake Ming. Although I am dead, I still miss you.
I think about you every day, every month, every year, I think about you all the time... Oh, sorry, I'm stuck, wait a moment, I'll think about it.
Here I am, I miss your sexiness, the shirt you took off, the condoms you threw in the toilet..."
"Nan Yi, stop talking nonsense. What do you want to do?"
Yun Yun's voice has become trembling.
"I don't want to do anything. My blood pressure goes up when I see you. I know you are a good person. For my health, please make a sacrifice. Go as far away as you can. Goodbye."
Nan Yi hung up the phone and said to the school beauty: "There are too many dirty things. Call Zhao Jinshui and ask him to prepare and be my tutor for a few days. I must not only abide by the law, but also speak in accordance with the spirit of the law.
Alas, the rapid development of technology is not a good thing. What you say can be recorded too easily. I need to find some technical information related to audio to study. "
…
At half past five, Nan Yi appeared at the door of Beijing Film Academy on time. Yi Qianxi was already standing there waiting. She was not alone, Xu Yu and Jiang Wenli were beside her.
Nan Yi got out of the car and walked to the three women. "Hello, classmate Xu, I didn't ask you what your name was yesterday."
"Jiang Wenli."
"Hello, classmate Jiang." Nan Yi greeted again, "Qianxi, where do you want to eat?"
"I'm going to Jinyuan Restaurant." Yi Qianxi said.
Nan Yi thought about it for a while, but couldn't remember where the store was, so he asked, "Where is this store?"
"In the Kunlun Hotel."
"Oh, there it is, get in the car."
Nan Yi invited the three women to sit in the back seat, and he sat in the front passenger seat. After they were seated, he said to the school beauty, "Let's go to Tan's restaurant."
"Cousin, you!"
When Yi Qianxi heard what Nan Yi said, she immediately expressed her dissatisfaction.
"You can go to Jinyuan Restaurant if you have money. It's nothing special. But you have to make reservations a month in advance for Tan's cuisine. You may not be able to eat there even if you have money. The key is that I, your cousin, only have 200 yuan in my pocket, which is probably enough to order four servings of fried rice. You should be ashamed to eat fried rice in a big hotel, right?"
"Nan Yi, I heard that the Qin family's food is not cheap either." Yi Qianxi didn't say anything, but Xu Yu spoke.
"I know. I know the owner of Qin's Restaurant. We can negotiate and he can give me a big discount. Besides, the dishes are very authentic and definitely better than Jinyuan Restaurant. Most importantly, I can keep accounts there."
Nan Yi turned around and said, "My dear classmates, I'm sorry that you can only eat the Qin family's food. I'll treat you to Jinyuan Restaurant next time. Qianxi made a surprise attack and I'm really short of money today."
Jiang Wenli felt extremely complicated when she heard Nan Yi's words. Logically speaking, her family's conditions were not bad, but she really couldn't imagine that she was embarrassed to talk about spending 200 yuan for four people for a meal. Having 200 yuan in her pocket was a waste of money.
Although Nan Yi had thought that Yi Qianxi might call her classmates, he was a little unhappy when she really brought her classmates, because he had originally planned to warn Yi Qianxi again, but now that there were outsiders present, his plan would be dashed.
When the car was halfway there, Yi Qianxi's waist started beeping.
A small hand reached under her clothes and pulled out a pink pager with a long chain. The small hand pressed a button, then reached forward and moved it up and down. "Give me the phone."
Nan Yi turned around again, glanced at the pink pager case that was selling for 208 yuan in the Asia Shopping Mall, and then looked at the chain that was selling for 68.8 yuan, thinking to himself that she was such a spendthrift girl.
Forget about the pager cases, there is only one store here with no other branches, and they are not sold outside Asia. But they can be found in many places outside the pager chain, the cheap ones are just a few cents, and the better ones are three or five yuan.
The market for pager chains has been sluggish. Asia's pager counters now sell only a few chains a month, but the prices remain high and have never dropped.
Anyway, we have made a lot of money in the pager chain in the past two years, and what we are selling now is the unsold inventory. Instead of reducing the price, we might as well maintain Asia's status and take into account the face of old customers so as not to let them suffer too much psychological gap.
Nan Yi took out a new phone from the armrest box, checked that it had power, and handed it to Yi Qianxi.
Yi Qianxi took the call, and under Jiang Wenli's envious gaze, she dialed the number and pressed the dial button. After a while, she spoke into the microphone at a volume higher than normal: "Who's calling me?"
Nan Yi frowned, thinking that his cousin was too vain.
"Chen Lu, who? Director Teng? I'm not going no matter what director it is. I'm about to go to dinner with my cousin. No, I'm not going."
Yi Qianxi hung up the phone and handed it back to Nan Yi.
"Who is Chen Lu?" Nan Yi took the phone and asked naturally.
"I met a friend when I went to audition for 'Terracotta Warriors'. It was so bullying. The couple was in perfect harmony and they were acting and showing their affection at the same time, but we made a wasted trip." Yi Qianxi muttered.
As soon as Nan Yi heard what Yi Qianxi said, he understood what was going on.
The leading actor of the drama "Terracotta Warriors" is Zhang Yimou. Nan Yi heard from Zhang Yimou that the screenwriter of the drama chose him to play the leading actor at first sight, and the producers naturally favored him because Zhang Yimou had just won a big prize at the Berlin Film Festival and had a certain international reputation, which would have a good promoting effect on both the award and the box office.
Zhang Yimou initially scoffed at commercial films. He was not willing to act in, let alone direct, any of them. But at this time, his relationship with Xiao Huya was exposed, and the news that he was going to abandon his wife became a hot topic. Zhang Yimou became a modern Chen Shimei.
The city is in turmoil here, making Zhang Yimou exhausted physically and mentally, but over there he can temporarily escape from the whirlpool and live with his beloved. The story he is playing is about a couple's three lives and three worlds, which fits his mood and situation perfectly, so he naturally should know how to choose.
Therefore, Zhang Yimou threw the request to the producers to let Xiao Huya play the female lead. Xiao Huya had appeared in Berlin before and her international fame was not bad. So the producers naturally agreed to the deal, buy one get one free.
So, the audition was purely a gimmick. The female lead was already in Xiao Huya's pocket. As for the supporting actress, Nan Yi didn't remember any supporting actress role. He only saw Lao Mouzi and Xiao Huya acting for real in the play and having a lot of fun.
"So the audition that Chen Lu mentioned in the letter is for this play. Then the Director Teng that Yi Qianxi mentioned just now should be Teng Rihong. How did the two of them get together so early?"
Nan Yi murmured in his heart and did not confirm with Yi Qianxi. Chen Lu was just his pen pal, not his girlfriend. It was her freedom to do whatever she wanted. Nan Yi did not have any big thoughts about her. At most, he wanted to have a friendly match with her when the opportunity arose.
After a while, the car arrived at Qinjiacai Yangfang Hutong. After parking the car, Nan Yi took the three girls into the backyard of the restaurant through the back door.
Although the weather was cold, Peng Xiuquan still sat in the yard, warming himself by the fire and drinking tea.
Nan Yi walked over to Peng Xiuquan, greeted him and said, "Old Peng, does the store have any extra ingredients today?"
"Yes, it's rare. Why did you think of eating here today?"
Nan Yi pointed at Yi Qianxi and said, "My cousin wants to eat at Jinyuan Restaurant. I boasted to her that the food here is better than Jinyuan. I have already boasted. Whether the reputation of Qin's cuisine can be preserved depends on Xiaowan."
"Okay, let's try it. Since you didn't notify me and the ingredients weren't prepared in advance, I can only make four dishes and a soup."
"Four dishes and one soup will be enough. I'll take you to the box first."
Nan Yi waved his hand and invited the three girls to go to the private room of Qinjiacai which was not usually open.
