Chapter 606 Chapter 605, Sachiko

Whenever Lao Chen's movie is released, Jiang Feng's movie will be released at the same time intentionally. If you have the guts, let's compete to see whose movie has higher box office.

This kind of behavior is generally hooliganism!
We are all in the film and television industry and earn the money of ordinary people. There is really no need to fight over trivial matters.

But Jiang Feng did just that.

This made Zhang Yimou very impressed. Young people are indeed young people. What they want is a brave man.

However, despite his admiration, Zhang Yimou still had to say some polite words. After all, he and Lao Chen were classmates, and the first work he shot after his debut as a photographer was directed by Lao Chen.

"Jiang Feng..."

"Ok?"

“The beef noodles are chewy and very tasty.”

"Really? If it tastes good, eat more."

In the restaurant, Jiang Feng took Zhang Yimou's big bowl, scooped half a bowl of noodles for him, and added a large spoonful of beef soup.

In front of the two men, Li Lianhua felt a little embarrassed to eat noodles with big mouthfuls, so she hid beside the dining table with the beef noodles in her hand. But before Li Lianhua sat down, she turned around and saw a woman with murderous eyes standing at the kitchen door.

"I'm here, Sister Hong."

Jiang Feng was not angry when an uninvited guest appeared at home. Instead, he warmly invited her to come in for dinner.

"Sister Hong, I brought some hand-rolled noodles made by my mom from my hometown. How about you try some too?"

"No!
I know you and Director Yimou are going to the airport soon, so I will make it short. "

Chen Hong stood at the kitchen door and said in a calm tone, "Jiang Feng, from now on, whenever our Lao Chen releases a movie, your movie will be scheduled to coincide with ours. Is this your intention or is this a rumor that just came out of thin air?"

"I don't know, is there such a saying?" Jiang Feng frowned, his face full of confusion.

"It really wasn't your idea?"

Chen Hong had a look of disbelief on her face, because this grandson of hers had so many bad ideas, one after another.

It was just like when he was in Star City, he had suffered a loss before.

"Jiang Feng, whether it was your idea or not, I hope you can come out and clarify it, because this matter will have very bad consequences for Lao Chen's movie."

"no problem!"

When Jiang Feng heard Chen Hong's request, he agreed very readily.

"Sister Hong, it's very simple to clarify the rumors. I just need to publish a statement in the newspaper. After all, we artists have to maintain our dignity. If I go back on my word after the statement is published, I will definitely be criticized by everyone.

But I also have a small request.”

"Say!"

“Please ask Director Chen and Director Teng to publish a few articles in major media outlets, the main content of which is that art that serves the people is the real art.

Just like the movie "Nobody", ordinary people like to watch it, businesses benefit from it, and it also promotes the development of China's film industry invisibly. This is a win-win situation.

We call on all Chinese filmmakers to learn from Jiang Feng, Zhao Laonian and others.”

"Um…"

After Jiang Feng finished speaking, Chen Hong fell silent.

My family knows their own affairs.

Chen Hong naturally knew why articles criticizing "Nobody" appeared in newspapers and websites every day since the newspaper office started work on the sixth day of the first lunar month.

But even though I know it, I can't say it out loud, because if I say it out loud, I will make a mortal enemy.

…………

Chen Hong left. She came suddenly and left suddenly, without saying anything, and walked straight out of Jiang Feng's yard.

Not long after she left, Li Lianhua, Zhang Yimou and Jiang Feng himself, who had finished breakfast at Jiang Feng's house, took a car to Beijing International Airport.

Due to weather reasons, the plane was a little delayed.

The standard time was 10:30 am, but the flight didn't take off until 11:30 noon. The flight landed at Haneda Airport at 3:30 pm local time in Tokyo. It was quite timely. Jiang Feng, Zhang Yimou, Li Lianhua and the others didn't even leave Haneda Airport and boarded the flight to Yamagata Airport...

In this way, Jiang Feng continued to travel until 6 o'clock in the evening when he finally arrived at his destination, the Wakaba Ryokan in Sakata City, Yamagata Prefecture.

Ryokan Wakaba
Converted from a large warehouse, the hotel is divided into two floors, all decorated in Japanese style. Every room has tatami.

Sleeping on tatami seemed like a torture for Jiang Feng, who was used to sleeping on a bed. However, Zhang Yimou quite liked it.

He said that he had slept on a brick bed in northern Shaanxi, and that tatami was at least much better than a brick bed.

They were lucky enough that just as they checked into the hotel, heavy snow began to fall in Sakata City. In less than half an hour, the snow was almost two fingers deep.

Zhang Yimou is old.

After putting my luggage in the room, I saw a hot spring in the hotel yard through the window. I ran over with a smile, soaked my body in the hot spring, and began to enjoy myself while admiring the snow scenery.

Long-distance flights are tiring, and soaking in hot springs can help relieve fatigue.

Jiang Feng was in good health and didn't feel tired, so he planned to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment first, and at least find a nice place to have dinner.

Sakata City, although the word "Sakata" is followed by the word "city", but according to China's administrative divisions, it is actually a town. Of course, Sakata City, which relies on the development of tourism, is more refined than China's towns.

There are ski resorts, hot springs, bowling alleys, libraries, and even in the snowy weather, Jiang Feng saw a sign at an intersection that read "Golf Course Under Construction."

Perhaps because of the heavy snow, there were not many pedestrians on the road. Jiang Feng walked for nearly 1 kilometer before he saw two drunkards staggering out of a izakaya.

Seeing [Sachiko Izakaya], Jiang Feng walked over with a smile.

Fortunately, this happened, otherwise, he might have been laughed at by the owner of Ruoye Hotel. You know, he just invited Jiang Feng to eat instant noodles.

If Jiang Feng couldn't find a place to eat after walking around, he would have to go back and ask the boss to order two packs of food.

Arriving at [Sachiko Izakaya], Jiang Feng pushed the door open, only to find that there was no one inside, only the lights were brightly on.

Just as I was about to knock on the table and say "Are you here?", a beautiful woman with a smile on her face straightened up from behind the counter.

"Hello, what would you like to eat?"

"Let's have something special, there are five of us."

At this time, Jiang Feng pointed at Qin Chuan, Guo Xiaofeng, Jin Yuji and Jin Jingji who followed in.

"Okay, sit down for a moment."

The beautiful lady behind the counter smiled sweetly and started to cook delicious food.

In a Japanese izakaya, the kitchen is open and is inside the counter, while diners or drinkers sit on high stools outside the counter.

Everyone can enjoy the food while watching the chef cook.

Jiang Feng stared at the beauty for a while and felt that she looked familiar. He felt that he had seen her somewhere before, so he asked cautiously:
"I'm from China, so I don't know the customs here. I just want to ask, if I ask your name directly, you probably won't mind, right?"

"do not mind!"

The beautiful lady who was making grilled chicken said without even looking up: "The sign of this shop is my name, Sachiko."

"So, what's your last name?"

"Kuchi!"
