A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot

After talking about business, Wang Tian felt much more relaxed, and Li Yi also turned the topic to himself.

"Director Zeng is coming tomorrow?"

Li Yi took the mineral water on the table and took a sip.

Director Zeng was the director that Wang Tian helped him contact, but they had not met in person.

"Yes, he will arrive around noon."

Wang Tian took out his cell phone and looked at it: "I'll call you then, and you can talk first."

"Can."

Li Yi nodded and asked, "Did you send the book to him?"

"Sent."

Wang Tian smiled and said: "He is quite interested. He seems to have written down a lot of ideas. He is coming to chat with you!"

The book Li Yi mentioned was a simple script used to shoot the outline of a documentary.

He sent it to Director Zeng in advance to see if he could get the feeling Li Yi wanted.

Li Yi knew what the finished product of "The Tip of the Tongue" would look like, but he couldn't describe it in words.

For the director, his description is just a concept. The final effect depends on whether the director can find the same thinking frequency as Li Yi.

The specific method of shooting will depend on what happens after we meet and discuss it tomorrow.

The purpose of Wang Tian's visit was to discuss the contract for the next season. After talking about the business, she and Li Yi chatted for a while. After hearing Li Yi's WeChat reminder several times, she wisely said goodbye and left.

These days, she is actually the most tired person.

She is the producer of the entire show, and she has to control everything and do all the hard work.

Many times, Li Yi would see messages from her in the middle of the night when he woke up in the morning.

And the dark circles under her eyes were as thick as a panda's.

After she left, Li Yi took out his phone and looked at WeChat. It was a message from Liu Yifei.

She said she had just taken a shower and wanted to come and chat with him.

Seeing her hidden message, Li Yi couldn't help but smile.

"Is Auntie here?"

Li Yi sent a message back and asked her.

"No, she went out to do errands and hasn't come back yet."

Liu Yifei quickly replied to the message.

Seeing this, Li Yi replied to her: "Then come over."

In the past few days when Liu Xiaoli was here, Li Yi and Liu Yifei could no longer see each other as before every night, and they could not sleep without using the microphone. They could only send messages and chat.

They also had to keep a certain distance when recording the show during the day and couldn't act too close.

So even though they were together every day, after a few days, they couldn't stand it anymore.

Especially Liu Yifei, after she sent the message, she ran over in a hurry and threw herself into Li Yi's arms, her eyes almost turned into tears.

After everything was done, Liu Yifei was lying beside Li Yi, her whole body limp, exhaling like a blue breath.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable? How about I carry you and take a bath?"

Li Yi leaned on the head of the bed, turned to look at her and asked with a smile.

"No, no, let me rest for a while first..."

Liu Yifei shook her head lazily, then looked at him and asked: "When do you plan to shoot the tip of your tongue?"

"It's not decided yet. It depends on how we talk to Director Zeng tomorrow."

Li Yi took the mineral water and took a sip, and explained casually: "I have to first listen to Director Zeng's understanding of the film to make sure he can produce the effect I want.

If he can indeed do it, it will probably start shooting within a week, because I have already made all the shooting plans.

If he can't do it, I'll have to find another director. Sister Tian promised me that if he doesn't do it, she can contact me again. "

"All right."

Liu Yifei nodded and thought: "I hope my mother's negotiation goes smoothly this time, otherwise it will be quite troublesome."

After this variety show, she has another movie to shoot, which she has planned before.

However, she wanted to shoot a documentary about Li Yi, so she had to negotiate with the crew to change the shooting plan and try to postpone the schedule as much as possible.

Liu Xiaoli went out this time to discuss this matter with the other party.

"It's okay, there's no rush."

Li Yi comforted her: "You won't have too many roles in this documentary. It just serves as an embellishment and a supplement to the scene. It won't take much time to shoot.

If we really can't reach an agreement there, you can go filming first, and I'll keep all your scenes, and I'll just come back for reshoots after you finish filming. "

"Um."

Liu Yifei nodded, turned over, rested her arm on her pillow, scraped Li Yi's arm with her fingers, and smiled.

"Want to take a shower?"

Li Yi asked her with a smile.

Liu Yifei shook her head: "I'll wash it later."

I'll wash it later, so what do I do now?

Li Yi naturally understands.

At around four o'clock, Li Yi helped Liu Yifei take a bath, and the two fell asleep hugging each other.

They slept until 12 noon when they were woken up by Liu Yifei's phone call.

The call was from Liu Xiaoli, asking her to go back to the room to clean up, it was time to eat.

After seeing her off, Li Yi also received a call from Wang Tian. Director Zeng had already arrived at the hotel.

After washing up, Li Yi went directly to Wang Tian and met Director Zeng.

Director Zeng is a male director in his thirties named Zeng Shun.

Directors in their thirties are in their prime in the industry, but Zeng Shun has only filmed some commercials, a few TV series that have no chance of being released, and a few variety shows.

He also came from a serious academic background. He is a graduate of the directing department of Beijing Film Academy. His classmates are already well-known in the industry.

But he has been in the industry for more than ten years, but has always been tepid.

But although it was tepid, he still had enough food and clothing.

He realized early on that it would be difficult to get ahead in the circle with his personal connections.

So after several years of being exploited in a store, he decisively returned to his hometown in Hunan Province. With the help of a few connections, he joined a TV station and became a paid director.

Although I don’t earn much, I have a plan and I won’t starve to death.

This is what he told Li Yi after meeting.

He has a good personality, is outgoing, and speaks with a sense of humor.

He told Li Yi that he was just a common man and couldn't play with those intrigues.

For him, calling up a few friends after get off work, going to a restaurant together, eating and drinking, is more enjoyable than anything else.

He also expressed his understanding of the tip of the tongue. He told Li Yi that when making this documentary, we must start from the perspective of ordinary people and show the essence of Chinese food inheritance for thousands of years. .

He doesn't like grand narratives. He likes the hustle and bustle of the vegetable market, the hard work of farmers planting rice and harvesting rice, and the innocent smiles on children's faces when they eat delicious food.

He told Li Yi that if he was asked to make this documentary, he would make it an epic of the development of Chinese food, a work of art that can truly be passed down to future generations.

He spoke very excitedly, dancing and describing his ideas about the shooting.

Seeing that he was talking endlessly and had no intention of stopping, Li Yi could only interrupt him with a smile and said: "Director Zeng, let's save your thoughts for later filming. It's time for Sister Tian to prepare for the celebration banquet. "
