The superstar starts from the termination of the contract

Chapter 1077 Going to New York
There is no direct flight from Hongcheng to New York, so this group of people first went from Hongcheng to Shanghai, and then started planning their itinerary.

In fact, from Shanghai to New York, there are one or two flights on the way. At this moment, Lu Fan and the others chose to go from Shanghai to Helsinki.

Then from Fanta Akita in Helsinki to JFK International Airport, which is the airport in New York.

The whole process takes about 20 hours.

For some young people, this journey is of special significance. Not only is it their first time to go abroad, but the main reason for going abroad this time is to make a movie with Lu Fan.

This time Lu Fan did not let Xu Qian go with him. First, he was also afraid of being affected by the global environment. There is no Chinese safety abroad.

The second is because Xu Qian is pregnant, so she should stay in Huaxia to raise her baby. According to her work efficiency, she may be able to return to China in a month or two.

Lu Fan didn't want Xu Qian to be surprised, so he would not talk about his own problems at that time, and he probably would not be able to explain to the parents on both sides.

On the contrary, the girl Lu Ting heard that Lu Fan was going to New York to make a movie, and clamored that she hoped to play a cameo role, which would also have a certain promotional effect on her hot pot restaurant.

Lu Fan didn't believe her rhetoric at all. If he really wanted to promote the brand of the hotpot restaurant, he could just say a few words. There was no need for her, a pure newcomer, to promote it.

So Lu Ting is purely for fun, and wants to have an addiction to making movies.

Lu Fan didn't refuse his sister's request, he just told her that the movie hasn't started yet, and it won't be too late for her to go to New York when the filming is halfway through.

Everyone boarded the plane smoothly, and there were no accidents during the whole process. Even though they had a rest of more than three hours during the connecting flight, they were still exhausted when they arrived in New York.

Fortunately, arrangements have been made here before coming here. Zhang Hongfa still has some connections, so he said hello in advance, and the person who received Lu Fan and the others was a Chinese.

After picking him up at the airport, Lu Fan had a brief exchange with the other party, and learned that his surname was Li, and his name was Li Hua. His family moved to New York when he was two or three years old.

Of course, Li Hua is only his Chinese name, and he also has a foreign name that is more commonly used in New York.

Although the other party is a real Chinese, but because he has lived in New York since he was a child, his various habits and ways of doing things are no different from those of Americans.

Li Hua was more open-minded, and there were many things that Lu Fan would tell directly even if Lu Fan didn't ask.

It turned out that Li Hua's father and Zhang Hongfa's father were good friends, the kind of close friends. Later, Li Hua's father moved to New York due to work, but the friendship between them was not broken.

After Zhang Hongfa became a great director, he often went to make movies all over the world, mainly in the United States, but he was able to contact Li Hua from time to time.

As for why Li Hua went to New York when he was two or three years old and was able to have such a friendship with Zhang Hongfa, it was naturally because of their father.

The two parties will visit each other every year, so Zhang Hongfa and Li Huan are so familiar with each other after coming and going.

Because the father of the two is still alive, it is inconvenient for them to get older. In recent years, they have not often traveled abroad by plane, and they only contacted each other on the phone.

But Zhang Hongfa and Li Hua visit the elders every year instead of their father.

When he heard this, Lu Fan couldn't help sighing that the older generation still had a deep friendship. No matter how long time passed or how far apart, their friendship would not change a little bit.

Just imagine, the transportation in the last century was not as convenient as it is now. It takes a lot of energy and financial resources to go from China to the United States, or from the United States to China.

Li Hua was very enthusiastic. When introducing his occupation and work, a more dramatic scene appeared again. He actually runs a supermarket!
And he also told Lu Fan that since the business is not very good and he is getting old, he is a bit powerless to take care of it. He plans to sell the supermarket and live on his previous savings and pension. He also said that the children don’t have to worry about it anyway. Yes, I travel around the world with my wife every year, and my life is quite nourishing.

Lu Fan couldn't laugh or cry, but he still held back, isn't this the plot in "Red Fan District"?
The protagonist went to visit his uncle because he was going to get married, so he sold the supermarket, which triggered a series of things that followed.

Lu Fan felt that sometimes things in the world are just such a coincidence, and everything seems to be full of drama.

The others didn't know Li Hua's identity and occupation, but seeing that he looked no different from a Huaxia person, they were all very curious.

Even Yang Long's sycophant thought that Lu Fan was so powerful that he could have friends in the United States.

After Li Hua talked about his own situation, he smiled and said to Lu Fan: "Don't worry, since you are Ah Fa's friend, then you are also my friend. Although the business in the supermarket is not very good recently, the hospitality for you Friends are still out of the question."

Lu Fan knew that he had lived in New York since he was a child, so his way of speaking was more direct like Westerners, not as euphemistic as Chinese people.

"Thank you, Mr. Li. I didn't expect you to be able to speak Chinese so well while living in New York." Lu Fan directly changed the topic. He was unfamiliar with the place on the first day, so he needed someone to entertain him. After a little familiarity, he will ask Yang Long to book a hotel.

Hospitality is their business, but if you can not disturb others, it is best not to disturb them as much as possible.

"When I'm at home, I always communicate with my family in Chinese. This is a habit of our family since we were young, and my father has always asked us to do so." Li Hua explained.

Lu Fan nodded. He didn't expect Father Li to be a very particular person. Perhaps the blood of Huaxia has always flowed in his bones!

This kind of person, like Lu Fan, has patriotic feelings in his heart, and he will never forget his country no matter where he is.

Lu Fan felt that people like Father Li should be more respectable. After all, the other party was just an ordinary person, but his patriotism was not so obvious before he got the system.

It is more reflected in the saying that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

Now, even if Lu Fan loses the system, under the influence of many things, the passion in his heart will not fade away.

"I'm coming to New York to shoot a movie this time, and I just need a supermarket as the background. If you don't mind, Mr. Li, why not rent this supermarket to me for the time being. We will calculate all costs based on the market price."

Lu Fan thought that since the business of the other party's supermarket was not so good, there must be some reason. Anyway, the first scene of his scene was filmed in the supermarket. If he could increase his popularity, or get more income, It can be regarded as a little effort.

"No problem, it doesn't matter if it's money or not. We're all friends anyway. You can use it if you want. Besides, I don't want to open it right now. It just happens to be waste." Li Hua laughed, as if he was impressed by Lu Fan's proposal. very interested.

At that time, he planned to open this supermarket on a whim. To be honest, he has been doing well over the years. The accumulation and the resources left by his parents are enough for him to live comfortably for the rest of his life.

Li Hua was very happy that the supermarket could still function when it was transferred.

Lu Fan suddenly felt that this person was very interesting. Sometimes talking with such a direct person is really a kind of enjoyment.

There are not so many beating around the bush, and there is not so much intrigue, returning to the most primitive and purest state.

"Brother Li, you don't have to be so polite," Lu Fan also inadvertently changed his title, "Although you and Director Zhang are good friends and regard us as your good friends, I am not the only one who rents the venue for filming. It is not a matter, but it is related to the entire crew."

Since Li Hua spoke so bluntly, Lu Fan naturally wouldn't hesitate. He continued: "We can go out for entertainment when we have nothing to do, but work is work. I hope you don't refuse any more. According to the market price."

"That's good." Li Hua smiled. He doesn't care about such details. Compared with the investment of the whole movie, renting the venue is actually a drop in the bucket, and no one will take it easy.

Because Zhang Hongfa had told him in advance that there would be a lot of people coming this time, he prepared two commercial vehicles. After everyone walked out of the airport, they got into the vehicles and went to his supermarket.

Assistants Yang Long, Wang Wen and others all took the same car with Lu Fan. Although Lin Fanghua also wanted to come along, it was the first time she met Lu Fan, so she was a little embarrassed to say the least, and finally got into the car with Tong Biao. Another commercial vehicle.

Everyone simply greeted Li Hua, and then stopped talking in a tacit understanding, because they could all see that Lu Fan was the protagonist.

Although Li Hua is very enthusiastic and has a very friendly attitude towards everyone, but after all it is the first time we meet, everyone is still a little embarrassed.

Originally, Yang Long was also a talker, and he could chat with Li Hua. The problem was that Lu Fan had told him not to talk nonsense before he came. After all, this is New York, and many things are out of control.

If something happens, it will be a bit troublesome.

Yang Long looked excited, but resisted to speak, while Wang Wen sat silently, listening to the conversation between Lu Fan and Li Hua.

After a few words, the topic between the two sides opened up, and it was not limited to the first meeting and movies.

"Brother Lu, I heard Ah Fa say that you have kung fu? Why don't we play both hands later?" Li Hua said with great interest.

Lu Fan turned his head and looked at him in surprise, a little inconceivable: "Brother Li, do you know kung fu? I don't know what kind of kung fu you practice? Hong boxing or Tan leg? Baguazhang or mantis boxing?"

Li Hua smiled embarrassedly, and said: "It's not that exaggerated, it's not that exaggerated, I just learned a few tricks from my father, not popular, not popular."

Lu Fan knew that since the other party said that he wanted to compete with him, he must have investigated his details before that, and he dared to say such a thing, obviously his own strength is not low.

He defeated Green at the Yuanhao Club, and suppressed Thomas on the Oscar stage. It is impossible for Li Hua not to know all this.

In just a moment, Lu Fan knew that the other party was a master.

"Brother Li, you are too polite. I just learned a few moves of Taijiquan from a certain master when I was young. I have a bit of talent in this, but now I am only at the level of Xiaocheng."

Lu Fan is not humble, because everyone knows that his Tai Chi level is very good, so he can only admit it.

"I just don't know what you learned, Brother Li?"

"Wing Chun." Li Hua showed a fiery expression, as if he was happy to have found an opponent, "My father is a good Wing Chun player, and he was well-known in Huaxia before, so I I just studied with him. In fact, my level is not bad, and I have never met an opponent since I was a child."

Lu Fan smiled and said, "Okay, let's compete with each other when we have a chance."

Wang Wen also showed a very interested look at the side, Wing Chun, even though she seldom gets in touch with this aspect, she has watched a lot of various film and television dramas, and she knows that Wing Chun is very interesting. awesome!

I want one to play ten!

"I have such a venue at home, why don't we just try it when we go back?" Li Hua also couldn't wait.

When Zhang Hongfa called him, he told him that he had found an opponent this time, and told him not to be arrogant, and to find a young man to punish him severely.

Of course, Zhang Hongfa always used a joking tone, but Li Hua was looking forward to it. Huaxia's Kung Fu has a certain inheritance, and he is also deeply obsessed with it under the influence of his father.

It's just that there are fewer and fewer people learning Kung Fu now. In his father's words, technology is constantly improving, but our inheritance is about to be cut off.

"Okay, no problem." Although Lu Fan didn't know the level of Li Hua's Wing Chun, one thing was certain, that was, he would never be able to beat him.

It's not that they are not good, but mainly because they are too strong.

Powerful to outrageous, powerful to unimaginable.

Li Hua thought for a while, and finally said: "You just got off the plane, you should take a good rest first, anyway, you will stay in New York for a long time, we have plenty of opportunities to learn from each other."

"It's okay, I rested for a long time on the plane, and I wasn't tired." Lu Fan also wanted to know how far Li Hua had practiced Wing Chun as a Chinese who grew up in New York.

Also, his father, Mr. Li, was also a well-known figure in the country before. Obviously, Wing Chun is not comparable to ordinary people.

Lu Fan really wanted to see these martial arts masters for real.

The commercial vehicle has not been on the road for long. According to Li Hua's own introduction, although his supermarket is not in the city center, it is also located on the edge of the city, and there are still quite a lot of people.

It may be due to the poor management, and some gang members often blackmail. Li Hua is straightforward, relying on his own skills, he is unwilling to pay protection fees like everyone else, so he is often harassed by some gangsters.

Everyone knows about the general situation in foreign countries. It's not as good as China's law and order.

So the final result can be seen, the business is becoming more and more difficult to continue, and in the end it can only be transferred.

After listening to his introduction, Lu Fan actually felt very speechless. It turned out that the script of the movie was adapted according to the real situation. No wonder people often say that art comes from life, which is really not fake at all.

Lu Fan didn't persuade Li Hua to change anything. To tell the truth, it was just the first time they met, and it was best for most of them to keep silent.

Besides, the world has become so deformed that someone has to stand up and do something different.

It's as if some people don't understand what they are doing, but whether to do or not to do some things can be persuaded by simply using a few reasons?

When passing by Li Hua Supermarket, he deliberately stopped the business car, sat in the car and took a general look at the situation of the supermarket, and then went to the place where he lived.

Lu Fan noticed that the name of the supermarket is Yuanhua, which has a strong Chinese flavor. Li Hua's family lives in the suburbs, and the area is quite large, and there are large yards in the front and back.

As a Chinese, it may be difficult to obtain such a large residence in New York, but Li Hua came here with his father when he was a child, and two generations have worked hard for decades to own this property. After all, there is nothing surprising of.

The crew all got out of the car, and all lamented that Li Hua's life is really good. The supermarket is his property, and there is such a big house in this kind of suburb. up.

"The room in my house may not be enough, but I have laid the floor for everyone, and I may have to force a small number of friends." Although Li Hua's house is quite big, there are more than ten people traveling with Lu Fan this time , although there are not many actors, some of them are equipped with assistants.

As an ordinary family, it is true that there will not be so many rooms for people to live in.

"No problem, let's bother for one night first, and book a hotel nearby the next day." Lu Fan expressed his thanks to Li Hua repeatedly.

"If you don't mind, it doesn't matter if you live here all the time. Don't feel embarrassed, we are good friends." Li Hua said with a smile.

Maybe other people heard Li Hua say this and felt that the other party was perfunctory or hypocritical, but Lu Fan knew that Li Hua was this kind of person, and he was indeed warm and hospitable to his friends.

However, Lu Fan can't take his friend's politeness for granted. After adapting to the environment here, he will go to a hotel first, and then rent a house after starting the machine.

Li Hua led Lu Fan to the place where he usually practiced. Lu Fan called him a good guy when he saw it. He had all kinds of equipment, a bit like the decorations of ancient martial arts gyms.

And the venue is quite big, obviously Li Hua will practice here when he has nothing to do.

Sure enough, the other party was indeed a Lian family son, and it was passed down from his father's generation.

Even if such a person is too stupid, after years of practice, his own level will not be too bad.

Suddenly, Lu Fan really wanted to meet the legendary Mr. Li, who learned Wing Chun in the last century, he was extraordinary!
