Chapter 167 A Foreign Land

"Ah, this army pot is really a must-have!"

"Director Han, the oxtail soup is delicious, drink more, and there is barbecue!"

At the dinner table, Jiang Liu nodded awkwardly amid the frequent persuasion from Bong Joon-ho and others: "Okay."

Zhao Wenhong, who was in charge of the crew's security, tilted her body, lowered her head and whispered: "Brother, let them serve two hard dishes or special dishes. Don't just serve spicy cabbage. What's so delicious about it."

Yan Yan also angrily echoed: "That's right, the first meal is so fussy. At worst, we have to pay for it ourselves. We can cut the rice cake into strips and dip it in some sauce. Just pretend I can't eat it."

Jiang Liu glared at the two of them: "Talk less and eat more. Oxtail soup, chicken soup, and barbecue taste pretty good."

Li Meijing held a banquet to welcome the wind and cleanse the dust, and Jiang Liu and his party, dozens of people, naturally attended.

The restaurant is located in the bustling Yeouido.

Every inch of land in Yeouido is precious, and the interior and exterior decoration of the restaurant is considered splendid in this era. Everyone in Yixin couldn't help but take a high look at Li Meijing. This woman is not big, but very heroic.

When the restaurant waiter finished serving the dishes, everyone in Yixin couldn't help but be surprised.

Barbecue, oxtail soup, and chicken steaks, except for chicken steaks, they may eat less due to lack of domestic economy.

But it’s not that I haven’t eaten it.

Not to be stingy, cut the beef and pork into small pieces and grill them.

He keeps putting cabbage on the table, rice cakes, fried noodles, and instant noodles.

Bong Joon-ho, Bae Doo-na and other Korean crew members repeatedly praised the military pot, isn't it just domestic chowder?

Everyone was very dissatisfied. The food on the table meant that the partners did not take them seriously. It was too deceptive.

If Jiang Liu hadn't been in charge, Yan Yan, Gao Da Mao, Zhao Wenhong and others who had come with the team earlier were Jiang Liu's confidants, otherwise they would have started shouting.

This guy and Jiang Liu were just like each other when they were filming "Pirates".

Seeing everyone in Yixin picking up their food with resentful looks on their faces, Li Meijing looked at Jiang Liu opposite: "Director Jiang, their food doesn't suit your taste?"

Jiang Liu opened his eyes and lied to the translator: "It must be a little acclimatized."

Li Meijing's translator nodded in embarrassment and muttered a few words to Li Meijing. After Li Meijing understood, she immediately arranged for her assistant to buy medicine.

The reception banquet ended with everyone in Yixin feeling hungry as CJ Entertainment kept saying "it's delicious, it's delicious, it's a must-have".

Back at the Galaxy Hotel, Jiang Liu, Bong Joon-ho, Ning Hao, Yan Yan and others rested for a while and immediately got into work.

Before the filming of "Monster" started, they had to do a lot of things as a directing team. The most important thing was still to compare the camera layout with the real thing and repeatedly deliberate on various arrangements after the official shooting.

As one of the film's producers, Lee Meijing is responsible for submitting filming permit applications to some departments in South Korea.

And request support for critical filming, such as evacuating crowds, closing bridges, waterways, etc. for a short period of time.

After spending several days in Han River Park, the actors and equipment arrived in South Korea.

At this point, Jiang exiled Bong Joon-ho and Ning Hao to read the script with several actors, while he discussed special effects production with Hou Xiaobao's team and the two special effects directors sent by Weta.

"So, Potter, what do you want me to do is just shoot, and you will be responsible for adding the monsters into the picture in post-production?"

Jiang Liu looked at Conchita Porter, a Moroccan who wore earrings and looked cool.

Hou Xiaobao said that this guy is Weta's top [-]D animator, but he doesn't look like him.

Porter patted Jiang Liu's shoulder angrily: "Yes, you've asked me five times, Jiang, please believe in our professionalism. After all, damn Jackson took dollars from you guys. Isn't it okay to think that he sent me here?" Shit Asia, I just want to find a place to get drunk."

Porter was talking to himself like a psycho, and Jiang Liu's face became more and more gloomy. Hou Xiaobao hurriedly jumped out and said, "Don't worry, boss, I'm keeping an eye on it. The results will be seen within eight months."

"As long as the results are not as good as being packaged and made by ghost guys, learn their techniques and see that the results are useful." Jiang Liu said with a rare expletive.

He knows that co-productions are troublesome. Only after I got really involved did I understand that the troubles involved in co-productions are not ordinary.

On the first day the crew settled in the Galaxy Hotel, the food problem was first exposed.

Actors gathered around to read the script, and communication problems broke out. A line may have different meanings after translation, and the actors' understanding would be different, thus affecting the performance.

The special effects director sent by Weta Special Effects Company was a second-rate person. The mess caused Jiang Liu's head to hurt and his anger was rising.

"Hey, hey, I'm just going to have a meal, and guess what, I have an extra dad!"

"If it doesn't stop, don't blame me for beating you."

"This girl is so poor and deserves to be beaten."

"Hey"

The day's script reading was over again, and the voices of Guan Xiaotong, Jiang Wen, and Guan Xiaotong's mother Li Jun came from next door.

Jiang Liu walked to the door: "Old Jiang, how are you today?"

"Director Feng, Bae Doona is very professional."

"Are you wondering when it can be filmed? Let me tell you, this drama is different from the drama you shot as a lead. Many scenes do not have physical performances."

"Don't ask me, ask them. It's up to you whether it's in kind or not. I have to go out and walk around to get to know this city."

Du Yuan, who plays the male lead's father in the film, shouted: "Director Jiang, I'll go with you."

"You go ahead and ask Zhao Wenhong to send someone to follow."

As Jiang Liu spoke, he stretched out his legs to stop Guan Xiaotong who was trying to sneak away: "If you continue to watch Beijing movies like this every day, I will send you back to the capital to go to school."

Guan Xiaotong said loudly: "You are the director, you are the biggest, I won't say anything."

"It's almost there."

Jiang Liu closed his legs: "Dou Na, how do you feel today?"

Bae Douna smiled, covering her mouth with her left hand, giving a thumbs up with her right hand, and said smugly: "Oh, they are great!"

Lu Yi nodded without waiting for Jiang Liu to ask. Jiang Liu breathed a sigh of relief. If the actors got to know each other as quickly as possible, he would be able to start filming one day earlier.

"Brother, I'm going to treat you tonight. I'm going to take a look at the famous Euljiro Bar Street. I feel like I'm talking."

"You have a lot of money, and the consumption here is so high."

Gao Da Mao blinked and said, "You forgot, I have US dollars."

Jiang Liu remembered that after He Jing and Gao Damao completed their World Cup bets perfectly, he did authorize them to take 10 US dollars each.

"Brother, let's go and see something. The crew will run out of time as soon as the filming starts. If you want to drink some wine in this shabby place, there is nowhere to eat good food."

Gao Damao kept urging him. Jiang Liu had been a little tired mentally and physically in recent days, so he nodded and said, "Then let's go, Doona. Can Director Bong Joon-ho come with us?"

"'Memories of Murder' will be released tomorrow and I'm going to promote it."

Jiang Liu nodded and asked Pei Douna: "Doona go?"

"Excuse me, Director Jiang. I just want to drink some soju recently."

Calling Zhao Wenhong, Ning Hao, Yan Yan, and Hou Xiaobao, it was said that Porter, the conspicuous bag, went to the famous bar street in South Korea, and he followed him and became the eighth person to visit the bar street.
