Actor: My Entertainment Era

Zhang Yuanjun and Guo Fan met three times during the eight-day National Day holiday.

An investment of tens of millions cannot be taken lightly, but it is not to be taken too seriously either.

During their fourth meeting, Zhang Yuanjun signed a supplementary agreement with Guo Fan and China Film Group. Zhang Yuanjun Studio invested another 5000 million yuan in the crew of "The Wandering Earth". Zhang Yuanjun Studio invested a total of 7360 million yuan, accounting for 19.7% of the investment. Zhang Yuanjun Studio also became the third largest producer of "The Wandering Earth" and was listed as a production team.

Zhang Yuanjun will appoint a producer to represent him in the crew.

The 5000 million yuan will be deposited into the crew's special account in two installments. The first installment of 12 million yuan will be received after the crew resumes filming in December. The remaining 3000 million yuan will be given to the crew within one month after Guo Fan finishes filming.

As soon as the contract was signed, Zhang Yuanjun said in front of Guo Fan: "I want Brother Jing to pay me. I want to share the money from Wolf Warriors 2 in advance."

After the contract was signed, Guo Fan felt relieved and said to Zhang Yuanjun, "You are a big movie star, but you still need this little money?"

"It was originally sufficient, but you took it away," said Zhang Yuanjun.

Guo Fan could only smile and said, "I'll treat you to the Mei Mansion tonight."

Zhang Yuanjun said, "Who wants to eat at Mei's house? I want to eat at Gan's house."

"You have a Yu Jiangnan restaurant in your own home, and you eat at the Beijing Office restaurant?" Gong Ge'er said with a smile.

"The restaurant where I live has been adapted to Beijing's tastes. If you want to eat authentic Gan cuisine, you have to go to Gan Ren Zhi Jia and Hong Du Restaurant."

In fact, if Zhang Yuanjun wanted to eat, Yu Jiangnan could definitely make it, but why? Zhang Yuanjun wanted Guo Fan to treat him to something else!

"Okay!" Guo Fan patted his chest and promised to treat Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei to a meal at Ganrenjia that night. "I'll reserve a table for 7pm."

"Friends, we are now on Madian South Road. In front of us is the famous Seven Provinces Courtyard. The Beijing offices of Jiangxi, Hunan, Shandong, Minjiang, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jilin are located here." A food anchor was filming a video. "Today we are going to check in at the restaurant of the Jiangxi Provincial Office in Beijing, the Gan People's Home."

Photography is generally not allowed in the Beijing Office restaurants. Those who are allowed to take photos are basically invited to promote the restaurant.

"Ganren Home is probably the most cost-effective restaurant among all the restaurants in the Beijing Office. The food is good and the price is not expensive." The anchor continued to introduce, "It is the peak dining time now. The hall is full, but fortunately we have reserved a seat."

The anchor sat down at his seat and began to order food while chatting with the waiter. After ordering, he said to the camera: "I heard that many celebrities from Jiangxi Province in BJ are also frequent customers here, such as the well-known Chao Ge Deng Chao, Tao Jie Liu Tao, Luo Jin, and the movie emperor Zhang Yuanjun. Many friends have met them here before.

"I don't know if we will be so lucky today."

While waiting for the food, the food anchor looked around the restaurant. At this time, she saw a group of people coming in from the main entrance of the restaurant.

It was a bit far away and I couldn't see their faces clearly, but I could see that the man and woman walking in front were very tall. Even though they were wearing casual clothes, I could tell that they had good temperament.

"They look so familiar." The anchor thought for a long time, and it was her companion who reminded her: "They look a lot like Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei."

"Oh yes, it's Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei." She immediately turned the camera of her mobile phone and took pictures outside.

As the group got closer, the host finally recognized that they were indeed Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei!

At this time, the waiter served her the food, and she asked, "Is that Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei?"

The waiter glanced back and smiled, "Yes, he often comes to eat here."

"How is he in private?"

"He's very nice, chatting and laughing, and he even took the initiative to sign autographs and take photos with us. Your dishes are all here."

"Okay, thank you."

Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei led Guo Fan and his group into the box.

The waiter recognized Zhang Yuanjun and handed him a menu. Zhang Yuanjun said, "I am the guest today. I will not order. You order."

Guo Fan took the menu and said in a somewhat awkward tone: "I am not familiar with Gan cuisine. You order. I will follow your wishes. You order and I will pay."

Zhang Yuanjun was not polite. He opened the menu and started ordering food, while introducing Gan cuisine to others.

"You have to order the clay pot soup. Let's have one pot each. I'll have the egg and meat pie soup. What would you like to drink, Xixi?"

Liu Yifei leaned over to take a look and said, "I want a mushroom and pork ribs soup. What about you?" Guo Fan, Gong Ge'er and others also ordered their own soup.

Zhang Yuanjun continued to order dishes: "Do you have any more fried bacon with artemisia?"

The waiter said, "It's out of season. It's in season only in winter."

"You must be a fake Gan Province native."

Zhang Yuanjun explained: "Artemisia selengensis is a kind of aquatic plant that grows in Poyang Lake. We in Luling don't eat it.

"Fried shrimp thumb buns, Taibai radish." These two are the signature dishes of Ganrenzhijia, "boneless chicken feet, Jinggangshan smoked bamboo shoots, Lushan stone chicken, and this beef tendon, stir-fried sweet potato leaves, Yugan tofu, a fish head, and a lotus root tip will be enough.

“Can you eat spicy food?”

"We'll follow you."

"Okay, that's all, just cook as usual." Zhang Yuanjun smiled at the waiter, "Give us a bigger portion, there are so many of us, and I know your manager and chef."

"Look at what you said. How dare we shortchange you?" said the waiter with a smile.

The waiter walked away and the group started chatting.

Guo Fan said that after this meal, he would return to Qingdao early tomorrow morning to supervise the construction of the studio and the coordination of props.

Zhang Yuanjun still felt a little regretful: "I wanted to invite you to watch the performance after National Day."

"When?"

"On the 12th, White Deer Plain will be performed at the Capital Theatre. I will play Lu Zhaopeng." Zhang Yuanjun has held this role for 11 years. "The last show of this year's round of performances happens to be the 100th show of White Deer Plain, which is very memorable."

"Sanqin People's Art Theatre has also arranged a version."

"Well, our theater helped them rehearse it in 14, and it premiered last year and was very successful." The creative strength of Sanqin People's Art Theater is far behind that of Beijing People's Art Theater. In 14, Beijing People's Art Theater helped Sanqin People's Art Theater rehearse "White Deer Plain" free of charge. "To be honest, the version of Sanqin People's Art Theater is much better than ours. They performed it in Sanqin dialect, which we can't compare with."

Sanqin People's Art Theatre's "White Deer Plain" is also Chen Zhongshi's favorite version, and he did not charge a penny for the copyright.

The waiter first served clay pot soup to everyone, and then the remaining dishes were served slowly.

Zhang Yuanjun explained: "Actually, clay pot soup is a specialty of Hongdu. We don't have this habit in Luling, but it doesn't matter. Clay pot soup is already a signature dish of Gan cuisine. You can try it. It's delicious."

The taste of the clay pot soup was praised by everyone present. It was a small pot, one portion per person.

As the dishes came up one after another, Zhang Yuanjun said first: "I'll cook Jiangxi cuisine as usual, but it may be a little spicy for you."

Liu Yifei learned her lesson: "Gan cuisine has a strong aftertaste. It tastes delicious when you eat it, but the spicy taste will come back after a while."

Liu Yifei actually can't eat very spicy food, but even though she doesn't like spicy food, she has a strong addiction to it and can't bear to put down her chopsticks even though she can't eat it.

Gan cuisine uses a lot of oil and salt, is very spicy and very satisfying to eat.

Guo Fan is from Lu Province and studied at a university in Qiongdao Island. He really can't eat spicy food. He would be looking for a tissue to wipe his sweat after just a few bites.

Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said, "I should have asked them to put less chili in it. Drink more soup."

But they were still sweating, and Gongger's lips were red.

"No, is it that spicy? I tasted normal." Zhang Yuanjun really thought it was just average.

Although it was spicy, it tasted very good and Guo Fan and others enjoyed it very much.

Turning to look at his wife sitting next to him, Liu Yifei's face was also red from the spiciness. She had already put down her chopsticks and was sipping the soup. She said, "I'll drink a couple of sips of soup to get rid of the spiciness, and then eat later."

Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said, "Forget it if you can't eat it."

"Order a table full of dishes and don't waste any food." This was Liu Yifei's reason.

"She's always stubborn." Zhang Yuanjun couldn't do anything about her. (End of this chapter)
