Chapter 351 Sisters Should Help Each Other

"Feihong, how do you feel today?"

After Link left the villa, Vivian Chow and Michelle Reis came to visit. They looked at Faye Yu with smiles on their faces.

Yu Feihong was sitting on a lounge chair on the terrace, wearing a loose nightgown, with a cashmere blanket covering her lower body, and her black hair draped over her shoulders, looking a little messy.

At the same time, the expression on her face was also in disarray, like a city that had been severely invaded by bandits. The former tranquility, freshness and naturalness were gone.

After being looked at by them, Yu Feihong's rosy cheeks gradually became flushed, and her eyes like spring water flashed some panic and shyness, and she was in a state of chaos.

But it's not her fault. Anyone who experiences this kind of thing for the first time, after what happened with Link, wouldn't know what expression to make when meeting strangers the next day.

"I-I'm fine."

Yu Feihong tucked the hair by her ears and placed her palms in front of her lower abdomen, letting the warmth from her palms and the blanket heal the trauma of last night.

"Are you really okay? I almost died that time with Link, I didn't expect him."

Zhou Huimin's cheeks were red, and she was too embarrassed to say the vulgar word, so she had to grab her wrist and gesture. Although this happened several months ago, every time she talked about it, she couldn't help but feel her heart pounding and her breathing becoming rapid.

"I feel the same way. There were many times when my mind went blank and I felt like I was dying, but it felt great after I recovered."

Michelle Reis put her slender legs together and had a charming blush on her face.

After hearing what they said, Yu Feihong's emotions gradually calmed down. Since they were all family, there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

She began to talk to the two of them about her condition, such as numbness in her waist and legs when she woke up in the morning, and she had to ask the maid to help her apply medicine and massage before she gradually felt better. She was also a little sleepy and couldn't concentrate. She also said that Link was very heavy and his arm was on her chest, almost crushing her to death.

Vivian Chow and Michelle Reis laughed and said that Link was an iron man, and that was why he was so powerful.

They suggested that Yu Feihong should exercise more and eat more meat from now on to supplement nutrition and improve her physical condition. She would slowly adapt in two months. If she couldn't bear it during this period, she should call them. With them there, she would be able to take care of her.

Yu Feihong agreed shyly.

Chen Chong said the same thing on the phone yesterday.

She should not force herself to do so, as it would hurt her body and she would not be able to feed Link enough.

She was also advised to take Chinese medicine to replenish her body. The prescription was in the cabinet in her bedroom. She started taking it last year and the effect was very good.

Chen Chong also said that she would come from China next week and teach her a few tricks, and she would ensure that Link would love her to death.

Although shy, Yu Feihong did not refuse.

"Come, try my coffee. It's coffee beans from a local plantation in San Diego. It tastes very special."

"I'll try it."

After the servant put down the coffee cups, the three of them began to savor their coffee and snacks and chat about other things on the sunny terrace.

After tasting Yu Feihong's tenderness, Link returned to the company and continued to work on the new movie.

Before filming "The English Patient", he organized four script meetings and invited several leading actors from the crew to the company to discuss the script and roles.

Starring Ralph Fiennes, Kristin Scott Thomas, Juliette Binoche, Colin Firth, Willem Dafoe, and Indian actor Aamir Khan.

Juliette Binoche is French, Willem Dafoe is an American actor, Aamir Khan is an Indian actor, and the rest of the actors are from Britain.

"Amir, how's your English going?"

During the script meeting, Link looked at the Indian guy in front of him and asked.

"The English Patient" is adapted from the novel of the same name. It tells the love story of several young men and women during World War II that transcends time and space, life and death, and race.

In the play, Kip, played by Aamir Khan, is a British-Indian soldier and the boyfriend of the second female lead Hannah. The two met in a monastery and fell in love.

When writing the script, Link planned to change Kip's race to a French or British one, but the original author, the famous Canadian writer Michael Ondaatje, disagreed.

Michael Ondaatje was born in Sri Lanka and has Dutch, Sinhalese, Indian and other ethnic bloodlines. He moved to the UK with his parents in his teens and later moved to Canada to attend university.

The character of 'Kip' that appears in the book is also the other party projecting his own identity onto the character, and the racial issue is explored through the love between 'Kip' and 'Hannah'.

Michael Ondaatje disagreed with changing the character's skin color, so Link had to give up the change and find an Indian actor to play the role.

I heard that his new film needs Indian actors.

The Indian film producers enthusiastically recommended more than 60 Indian actors. Link selected five based on their familiarity and asked them to come for auditions. In the end, Aamir Khan performed the best.

Aamir Khan is 30 years old this year. He made his debut at the age of 8 and has filmed more than movies. He is currently a second-tier star in India, but he has a good future and is considered a national treasure actor in India. His representative works include "Dangal", " Idiots" and "Lakshala". The problem now is that Aamir Khan can speak English, but not English. His spoken English has the flavor of curry sauce.

For example, he would say 'Let me try' as 'Let me tree'; and 'I am thirty (I am 30 years old)' as 'I am dirty (I am a little dirty)', which caused a lot of jokes during the script reading.

In order to help him correct his spoken English, the crew hired two English teachers to tutor him and asked him to correct it before the filming officially started.

"Director Lin, I'm still practicing."

Aamir Khan read a few lines of 'Kip' in an awkward tone.

"Not bad, you have made progress. Keep practicing. I hope your spoken English will get better and better."

Link laughed.

"Okay, Director Lin."

Aamir Khan scratched his face and looked very reserved.

"Juliet, you and Amir have the most conversations, so you should help him practice his lines more often."

"No problem, Director Link."

Juliette Binoche smiled.

Link continued to talk about the script with the actors present, using this method to help everyone gain a deeper understanding of the story's connotations and the characters' thoughts and feelings, and preferably to be able to empathize with the characters.

For directors, having actors put themselves into their roles is the simplest and most effective way of shooting, which saves a lot of time and money during filming.

For actors, immersing themselves in a role is also a good way of performing. The higher the degree of identification with the role, the deeper the understanding, and the deeper the sense of immersion. As for the subsequent psychological problems, they are actually not that serious.

Actors are paid very high fees for making movies. Second- and third-tier actors can get hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars per movie. Sometimes they can even win awards if they perform well. The negative impact is just a psychological problem. It is safer than many professions, and professional actors are willing to make this sacrifice.

During script meetings, Yu Feihong, a new wife, would also join in as the director's assistant, helping to contact the actors and arranging for them to participate in the film preparations in an orderly manner.

She was wearing work clothes and high heels, but she was still beautiful and capable, with a gentle and intellectual temperament.

But after being intimate with him many times, her face became rosy and translucent, and her eyes and eyebrows became more charming, making her look even more charming.

In between work, Link sometimes couldn't help but pamper her a few more times.

"Hubby, can we not do this in the company in the future? Let's just bear with it for now and talk about it when we get back, okay?"

Once during lunch, Yu Feihong sat in his arms with her toes curled up tightly and her body still shaking.

"What's wrong, you don't like it?"

Link kissed her fair collarbone.

"I like it very much! But..."

Yu Feihong blushed and was too embarrassed to say it out loud, so she leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear.

She said it was inconvenient in the company because she still had to work after each session, and it took a lot of effort to be here. Her legs would tremble if she walked a few more steps, and she couldn't do anything else.

and also
Yu Feihong blushed and said that her legs were originally slender and tightly fitted, but now they are walking with their feet turned outward, which looks ugly. Zhou Huimin and Li Jiaxin even teased her about this.

Link told her not to be shy, as Zhou Huimin and others had gone through the same thing and it would be fine after some time.

However, he is a man who respects women very much, especially the women in his family. Since Yu Feihong does not like to have intimate relationships in the company, he also respects her opinion and will try to restrain himself in the company in the future.

After some tender moments, Link disconnected from Yu Feihong and continued to focus on his work.

After more than two months of preparation, the crew of "The English Patient" was officially launched.

Under Link's command, crew props, set designers, art designers and other staff began to rush to various film sets to make preparations before filming. Three deputy directors and assistant directors went to Tunisia in North Africa, Florence in Italy, Marseille in France and other places to shoot exterior scenes according to his requirements.

Link continues to be busy with other work in Los Angeles, including a summary of summer movie box office, arrangements for fall and winter movie releases, and plans for next year's film projects.

And "Hachiko: A Dog's Story" was officially wrapped up last week after a year of filming. As the film's producer, screenwriter and editor, Link also had to finish editing the film as soon as possible and send it to the production department for post-production.

When he was editing the movie Hachiko, Ovitz called again and said that he had found a way to cooperate and wanted to discuss the cooperation with him in person.
