Liu Qianqian's mouth was watering as soon as she heard there was hot pot to eat; it's her favorite food.
Liu Qianqian tugged at Chen Fang's sleeve.
Shen Fang understood immediately.
“Director Zhang, the temptation you’ve given us is too great. I’ll give Director Zhang and Brother Jie a call, and they’ll definitely be more than willing.”
"Will Mandy and Jet Li be coming too?" the receptionist asked excitedly.
Shen Fang smiled and said, "Of course, I'm tired of eating Western food these past few days."
"Wow!!! Mandela!!!"
The young lady was incredibly excited.
Ambassador Zhang smiled as he looked at the young woman.
"Lin Jie, you still like Maggie Cheung? I thought only people my age liked Maggie Cheung."
"Boss, you forgot? I studied at the University of Hong Kong. Besides, I'm a post-80s generation. It's not normal for me to like Mandy Lieu."
Shen Fang took out his phone and dialed Zhang Yimou's number.
"Hey, senior brother."
"Junior brother, what's wrong? Have you finished your business?"
"It's all done. Our Ambassador to China, Ambassador Zhang, invited us to dinner at the embassy tonight. I also have some good news for you: Ambassador Zhang has planned some promotional activities for our film and arranged interviews with several media outlets. My senior's ranking is truly off the charts."
Even Zhang Yimou was dumbfounded.
"What? The embassy is promoting our movie?"
"It's true, I'm not kidding you. There's a Chinatown promotion event tomorrow. Ambassador Zhang is really giving us a huge boost. We'll even get an interview on the International Chinese Channel. The support is truly amazing."
Zhang Yimou was immediately filled with a sense of honor, but also felt immense pressure. With this level of publicity, it was practically the pinnacle of success. If it failed in North America, he would truly lose face. Especially with Chen Fang's recent frenzied promotion of Zhang Yimou and Hero in China, the title of "Master Zhang" and the groundbreaking martial arts film had propelled Zhang Yimou to the top.
A nationwide movie-going frenzy has begun, with box office results soaring in recent days.
"Junior brother, if I fail, I'll really lose all face."
Shen Fang burst into laughter.
"Senior brother, don't worry, I won't let you down. If you fail, I'll lose face too. The hero will definitely succeed, there's no doubt about that. Don't you have confidence in your work?"
"Of course I'm confident, but I can't control foreigners' thinking. What Chinese people like to watch, foreigners may not."
"Senior brother, don't worry about it. People's aesthetic sense is the same. It doesn't matter if foreigners don't understand Chinese history. As long as it's well-made and the plot is reasonable, people will appreciate your work. Besides, you are a film artist. As long as you're not blind, you can understand it. People have at least some basic aesthetic sense."
"You're always flattering me. I still have some work to finish, we'll come over when we're done."
"Okay, see you in a bit."
