The stewed stew that Chen Minhao ordered was brought in by the waiter.
Braised pork should be considered one of Kyoto's special snacks. Pig intestines, lungs, fried tofu, and a little pork belly are stewed in braised soup as the base of the dish.
Chen Minhao skillfully poured some fermented bean curd, chive flowers and chili oil, and then sprinkled some minced garlic. He took a deep breath and exclaimed that it was this simple and crude fragrance that overpowered everything else.
Kang Hui said in surprise: "I didn't expect that you have only been in Kyoto for a month. You are very skilled in eating Kyoto's snacks!"
Chen Minhao smiled and said nothing. In my previous life, I ate it for four years.
Kang Hui continued: "If there is an audition opportunity for "The River Flows Quietly" now, you'd better take advantage of it.
Although literary films may not be your first choice, and I have not researched this movie, if so many people in the industry are flocking to this movie, this movie is not much different.
You need to set a time for the audition as soon as possible. I tried to schedule the audition for "Detective" to be around the audition for "The River Flows Quietly." Although you will have more pressure to prepare for the audition this way, their feedback cycle will be closer.
Otherwise, there will be a dilemma where one film has a result, but we still have to wait for feedback from another director before we can make a decision. If it is delayed for too long, it is easy for both films to fail.
You may not succeed in the audition for "Detective". Anyway, you should try your best to audition first. One more spare tire is not much. Let me go back and help you find out who are the competitors for the role of the second male lead. "
Chen Minhao nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble Sister Kang."
Kang Hui lit a cigarette and said viciously: "It doesn't matter if I'm in trouble, but if you fail to pass the audition for these two movies after I've been struggling for a long time, it won't be fun.
You were able to pass every role you auditioned for, but you spent so much time and energy improving your acting skills, and now you can't pass the audition. If you reverse history, I will be very angry! More angry than me taking the blame. "
Chen Minhao nodded and said, "Then if we pass both auditions, which one should we reject?"
Kang blew back a smoke ring and said: "There is no need to think about which movie to star in now. The right to choose is the most precious thing, and we must firmly hold it in our own hands. If we win both dramas by then, Let's choose ourselves.
It's not hard to find any reason to reject another. It turns out that there are not many scripts for you, and I strictly control the quality of the scripts, so there are not many scripts sent to you, and there are not many dramas for auditions. Going forward, you will reject more scripts after auditions than you will accept.
This is just like looking for a job, it is a two-way selection process. Directors will interview many actors at once, and actors will also interview with many directors. "
Chen Minhao looked at Kang carefully and asked: "My concern is that if I refuse, it will damage the relationship between me and the director. For example, I passed the auditions for both movies, and I rejected Director Zhang Shan. , but if I want to act in his movies in the future, he will probably have concerns about me."
It is much better to let others sacrifice themselves voluntarily than to force others to sacrifice.
Kang Hui stood up and went to the other side of the table to get an ashtray. As he walked, he said: "This is simple. Just find any reason. Don't look for reasons from yourself. Just don't say anything: I have concerns about this drama, or I don't like this." Characters, etc., generally it’s not a big problem.”
After Kang Hui put out the cigarette butt, he saw Chen Minhao looking directly at him, and his heart skipped a beat.
Isn't the best reason for rejection "the company won't let me shoot, or my agent won't let me shoot?" Maybe I will take the blame again, and Kang Hui feels that he is one step closer to becoming a public enemy in the entertainment industry.
Kang Hui lit a new cigarette. I carried a big pot today, and seeing another pot coming, I had to smoke a cigarette to calm down.
Chen Minhao guessed that Kang Hui had reacted. Alas, it’s not easy for her either. If you set up an independent studio in the future, give Kang Hui a little more money.
Chen Minhao didn't say anything and started eating braised meat. Kang Hui started to browse Weibo to read netizens' comments about the Mid-Autumn Festival Party.
Kang Hui said happily: "Although we haven't gained much popularity yet, I see that netizens' evaluations of your family and your parents are generally positive, and they are willing to make evaluations, which shows that there are more netizens. I am willing to use my precious attention to pay attention to your family and your parents.
I think more resources can be spent on this hot spot. In fact, in a certain sense, celebrities satisfy people's desire to pry into privacy.
I think you can ask the paparazzi to secretly take a photo of you after the party is over, when you go to pick up your parents. This matter will easily become a trending topic, and it will help shape your character. "
Chen Minhao thought for a while and said, "No, I don't want to be the kind of star who sells his private life. And I don't think my parents like being photographed by the paparazzi."
Kang Hui was stunned for a moment and said, "I think you may have some misunderstandings about your parents."
Chen Minhao wiped his greasy mouth with a tissue, and then said: "Let's forget it. Actually, I don't want them to be exposed too much because of me. Their bun shop still wants to continue to open.
If there is too much exposure, reporters will definitely interview and disturb them. This has become the same as during the "Artist Producer" period. Every day, many reporters gathered around the bun shop, and they were not allowed to go to the bun shop. "
Kang Hui nodded: "Okay. That's up to you. It's almost time. I have to go to the airport too. If you need anything, call me."
After Chen Minhao finished eating, he asked Chen Qiang to drive to pick up his parents. The exit and entrance of the theater are not in the same place. There are also many private cars, and taxis are crowded at the exit, but cars cannot stop at the exit.
It was already a bit cold in Kyoto in October, but Chen Minhao couldn't bear to let his parents walk some distance outside. Chen Minhao asked Luo Jing to find Chen's father and Chen's mother in the theater first, and then drop them off at the next intersection.
Chen Minhao unexpectedly found that Luo Jing was quite useful.
Chen Minhao's residence in Kyoto.
After Chen Ma changed her shoes and entered the door, she sighed: "Haohao, the house you rent is too big, is it just the two of you?"
Chen Minhao nodded. He was embarrassed to say that he usually lived in the dormitory. Strictly speaking, only Chen Qiang lived alone.
Dad Chen looked at the house inside and out and asked, "How much does the rent for this house cost?"
Chen Minhao smiled and said: "In this place where every inch of land is precious, you can earn 70,000 yuan a month."
Dad Chen turned on his mobile phone, entered a few numbers, then gritted his teeth and said, "Last time you came home and said that the house here cost 30 million, and the down payment was 10 million, and then you had more than 5 million in hand. I think we sell it A house in Jinling, and then I can scrape together enough to make a down payment of 10 million to buy a house."
Chen Minhao was stunned for a moment and said: "No need, just keep the house in Jinling for your retirement. And keep the cash on hand for yourself. It's not easy for you to make money by doing small business."
Father Chen stepped forward and slapped Chen Minhao hard on the back of the head: "You are stupid. You bought a house with a down payment of 10 million, and then took out a loan for 30 years. According to the current benchmark interest rate, the monthly loan repayment is too long. It’s only about 100,000, which is only 30,000 more than the monthly rent you pay now, but this house will be yours in 30 years.
Rent is an expense, and mortgage is a cost. In the balance sheet, expenses are expenses, but costs are assets. Listen to Dad and buy it right. "
