Their identity made it impossible to appear in the crowded Lan Kwai Fong. Tse chose a Thai hotpot restaurant. In that hot, dry city, it was entertaining to have a private talk in a room with an air conditioner.
People rarely met the right person at the right time. The Thai restaurant was renowned for its authentic tastes. Plus, the owner was good at keeping his mouth shut. A lot of Hong Kong stars were regular patrons there. The restaurant could be considered a holy land of the circle.
Director Ang Lee also happened to show up there, accompanied by a group of friends with gray hair and wrinkled faces. Their graceful upbringing made them seem different from young people.
Ang Lee was the first to recognize Qin Guan and Nicholas Tse. The Los Angeles-based Chinese director was really glad to see them.
"Qin Guan, come over here! Let me introduce you. This is Wong Kar-Wai, Johnnie To..."
Wow! They were all famous directors from Hong Kong!
