Chapter 483 482: "Seeing Ghosts" Completed

Los Angeles

There is no shortage of delicious Chinese food, and Sichuan cuisine is especially popular. But in the early 21st century, Tian Fu Lao Ma is definitely the top Chinese restaurant in Los Angeles.

In 1994, Tianfu Laoma opened in Alhambra. At that time, no one thought that this small restaurant could make Sichuan cuisine to such a level!
In seven years, it has won the Michelin recommendation, topped EaterLA's Los Angeles must-eat list, and made Los Angeles the first frontier for popularizing Sichuan cuisine culture, with new-style Sichuan cuisine flourishing here.

Now, there are nearly 70 dishes on the permanent menu of Tianfu Laoma: spicy crab, crispy bone with seven-lixiang, Bobo chicken, fish with green pepper, chicken with mouth-watering sauce, cold noodles, ice jelly.
The reason why Jiang Feng knew so much about the last filming location of "Seeing Ghosts" was because this store was not only the filming location for the movie, but also the place where the crew held the wrap-up party.

After two or three months of hard work, the filming of the movie is finally completed, and naturally everyone wants to find a good restaurant to get drunk.

At the beginning, Jessica Alba, as the heroine, suggested that everyone eat Western food and then hold a cocktail party on the grass, but this proposal was only approved by two people, one was Jessica Alba herself, and the other was Lionsgate CEO Jon Fillmore.

As for the rest of the crew...

His attitude was extremely firm. Regarding the wrap-up banquet, either he didn't want to eat or he would just eat Chinese food. There was no room for negotiation!

Therefore, Li Xing, the producer of "Seeing Ghosts", searched for the most famous Chinese restaurant in Los Angeles to hold the wrap party and filming session in one.

It was 4 o'clock in the afternoon when the crew arrived here. As soon as they entered this small Chinese restaurant, everyone quickly became busy.

Arrange the shooting positions, lighting equipment, and circular shooting track for fixed cameras, because the shot of Jessica Alba falling requires quick lens switching.

Jessica Alba was putting on makeup while Jiang Feng, who played the role of a medical doctor in the movie, was waiting. The last scene was a group scene with forty or fifty extras alone. The three assistants brought by makeup artist Mark were all doing makeup for the extras. Therefore, even though Jiang Feng was the director, he could only sit at the door of this Chinese restaurant and wait.

"Hello, Brother Feng!"

Liu Yifei, who made a guest appearance in the movie "Seeing Ghosts", also came today. The crew was going to hold a wrap party, and as an actor, she was naturally qualified to attend.

"Oh, Hello!"

Jiang Feng was just about to take advantage of this free time to chat with Wang Fei on his phone and ask her how Jiang Ye was doing recently.
As a younger sister, Wang Fei has been in frequent contact with Jiang Ye, who works at Foxconn, over the past month.

But before Jiang Feng finished editing the text message, the smiling girl Liu Yifei sat down next to him.

"Brother Feng, when is the wrap party? I'm hungry. My mom has been running around in Los Angeles with Uncle Chen recently, so I have to eat at KFC often."

"Yeah, about 6 o'clock."

Jiang Feng raised his hand and rubbed Liu Yifei's head lovingly. Although she did not have a high level of education, her personal qualities were still good. She spoke politely and behaved in a graceful manner. Just now, there was a puddle of water in front of the restaurant, so she took the initiative to put the restaurant's sign on the puddle of water so that everyone could walk around the area to avoid slipping.

"Oh, it's still 6 o'clock!"

Liu Yifei licked her lips, then turned around and looked inside the restaurant.

"Then, Brother Feng, why does the waiter have to put so many dishes on the table now?"

“It’s for extras to eat!”

"Are you really going to let them eat it?" Liu Yifei rolled her eyes.

"Of course!"

"Then, Brother Feng, how about I also be an extra?"

"Okay."

Jiang Feng agreed to the girl's request with a smile, turned around and pointed to a remote location.

"You will sit at table 6. Remember to turn your back to the camera so that people don't recognize you because you were a guest actor before."

"Okay!"

Seeing Jiang Feng agreed, Liu Yifei stood up and skipped to the restaurant, but she had just sat down when she quickly ran back.

"Brother Feng, I just forgot to say thank you to you. My mother said that you will be my benefactor for the rest of my life."

"My lord..., why do you say that?" Jiang Feng was puzzled.

"I am an American citizen. According to the regulations of Beijing Film Academy, foreigners only need to take the art exam to take the entrance exam of the film academy, and do not need to take the domestic college entrance examination. To take the art exam, you need to apply. Two days ago, my mother called China to inquire about the process for foreign students to take the art exam of Beijing Film Academy. When the teacher of the film academy heard that I had played a role in your movie.

They just said, no problem, the child will definitely pass the exam, if Jiang Feng can write a letter of recommendation, maybe he can be exempted from the exam..."

"what!"

Hearing this, Jiang Feng was stunned.

Is my face so big now in Beijing Film Academy? Can I be exempted from the test by writing a letter of recommendation?!

I knew that world-renowned directors Zhang Yimou, Li An and others wrote letters of recommendation to the Beijing Film Academy, and that I could get the opportunity to be exempted from the entrance exam. I never expected that one day I would become so successful.

Just as I was thinking about it, Mark's voice sounded beside me.

"Brother Feng, come, it's your turn to put on makeup."

……

【Tianfu Mom】

Business is booming.

Not only was the restaurant full, but there were also more than a dozen chairs outside the restaurant filled with people waiting to dine.

Jessica Alba was lucky as she arrived early and sat at a table for two. She ordered a plate of mouth-watering chicken and a bowl of white rice.

As a foreigner, Jessica Alba eats Chinese food differently from Chinese people. After trying the chicken, she didn’t like the taste, so she asked the waiter for a bowl of sugar and ate the chicken with the sugar…

It felt good, so Jessica Alba nodded.

But just as she raised her head and wanted to say thank you to the waiter, suddenly, she saw a woman in a black robe staring at her.

A little scared, Jessica Alba wanted to look at other people to see if they could see this woman too.

However, before she could turn around, the woman suddenly pounced on Jessica Alba.

"what…"

Jessica Alba was so frightened that she leaned back and the chair fell to the floor.

"Sorry, sorry!"

Seeing Jessica Alba fall, Jiang Feng, who had just gone to get the food, immediately apologized to everyone on her behalf. Then, while apologizing, he was clearing things on the table. At this time, a handprint suddenly appeared on the sugar on the table.

"OK, passed."

This command was shouted out by assistant director Dawei. During the period in the United States, due to the maturity of director monitoring technology, when director Jiang Feng went on stage to act, assistant director Dawei would monitor the shooting scene on his behalf, instead of the initial photographer Gu Changwei.

"Brother Feng, come over and watch the replay."

Dawei stood up and handed the radio headphones to Jiang Feng.

"okay!"

After watching the playback twice and feeling that there was no problem, Jiang Feng stood up from the director's chair and picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Everyone has it. Now I declare that the film "Seeing Ghosts" has officially finished shooting."

As soon as Jiang Feng finished speaking, cheers and applause broke out in Tianfu Laoma Restaurant.

"Long live the director!"

"Brother Feng, I love you."

"Brother Feng, come on, give me a kiss!"
