Chapter 199 Desert BBQ!

By the third week, "Lost in Thailand" had a box office of 2.68 million and 780 million moviegoers.

By the fourth week of its release, the box office blowout of "囧囧" gradually slowed down, earning 2.06 million and 640 million moviegoers.

This dark horse at the box office is a bit weak, and the box office potential has almost been tapped. Next, it is expected to get some more every week, but there is no problem breaking 10 billion.

Mainland releases are not over yet.

Through the efforts of Starlight Film Company, "囧" will be officially released in Thailand on January 1. As for why it will be released in Thailand first, even Chen Dong is surprised.

So, Chen Dong called Li Rixin, and Li Rixin told Chen Dong that before he could find it, a Thai film distribution company came to his door and asked Starlight Films for the distribution rights of "囧囧" in Thailand.

This is not difficult to understand, because most of the plots and backgrounds in "Lost in Thailand" were filmed in Thailand. The film contains Thai culture, religion, customs, scenery, etc., and some supporting roles in the film are Thai actors. , "Lost in Thailand" can become popular in the mainland, and it is almost certain that it will become popular in Thailand.

Like some movies, when introduced to another country, you first have to face a problem of 'acclimatization'. It may be a hit in one country, but it may not be in another country.

Secondly, "Lost in Thailand" is positive for Thailand, and it is very beneficial to promote the image of Thailand. Through the movie "Lost in Thailand", you can understand the customs of Thailand, as well as the calm and detailed teachings of Thai Buddhism. Most of them believe in Buddhism, and the Thai people have inherited this character from Buddhism, which is very calm and peaceful.There is also the Songkran Festival for thousands of people in Thailand,... In addition, it has a great role in promoting Thailand's tourism industry.

In the original time and space, since the movie "Lost in Thailand" was released, Thailand tour groups have become popular rapidly. In December when the movie was released, tens of thousands of domestic tourists signed up for group tours and independent travel in Thailand, a three-fold increase compared to the same period in 12. .

After the film was released, I was very nervous about the flight to Chiang Mai. It was even more difficult to find a room in a local five-star hotel in Chiang Mai. Some travel agencies tried their best to build a relationship with "Lost in Thailand", and some travel agencies even won the filming location - Chiang Mai With the resources of the Le Méridien, a 2-night stay is arranged. During the film festival, the release of Kongming lanterns, tuk-tuks, elephant performances and other plots are also arranged in the travel schedule.

Seeing this, Chen Dong checked on the Internet the film distribution company that released "Lost in Thailand" in Thailand. Sure enough, this film distribution company has some national background.

On January 1, "Lost in Thailand" was released in Japan/Japan. On January 7, "Lost in Thailand" was screened in South Korea. In late January, it was screened simultaneously in Singapore and Malaysia. In February, it was screened in several major cities in the United States....

After finishing the movie, Chen Dong returned to a leisurely state.

From time to time, I pay attention to the filming of "A Bite of China". With the "Bite of Tongue" program plan provided by Chen Dong, as well as some ideas from the original time and space, the assistant director Shen Jiaxing will be in charge, and 2 gourmet masters will serve as consultants. Provide some guidance and advice on gastronomy.

Each of the seven episode directors is in charge of a theme, together with 2 photographers and some behind-the-scenes staff, everything is in order and the shooting is very smooth.

There is no need for Chen Dong to worry too much, the shooting progress is very fast, and up to now, half of the progress has been completed.

After putting down "A Bite of China", Chen Dong took a plane to the Tengger Desert in the Zhongwei area of ​​Qingning Province.

Populus euphratica drove Chen Dong to the 'tree planting base'.

Several rows of neat brick houses were built on the 'base' as the company's office, dormitory and canteen for employees to rest.

In the evening, Populus euphratica and all the staff of the company arranged a barbecue banquet with desert characteristics for Chen Dong's arrival.

Roast rabbit, roast scorpion, roast wild goat,….

The whole goat meat is roasted on the grill until it makes a 'sizzling' sound, with spices, salt, and seasonings on it, and the aroma is tangy.

The chef cut off the best lean meat from the side of the goat's thigh, put it on a plate, and handed it to Chen Dong.

"Thank you!" Chen Dong took the goat meat and thanked him.

I cut a small piece with a knife and put it in my mouth. It is very fragrant, the meat is very tender, and the taste is very good.

Chen Dong gave a thumbs up and said, "It tastes very good."

"This kind of goat is called to live on the cliff. It is the best at jumping and running. It has very well-developed muscles and the best meat quality. Coupled with Lao Lie's barbecue technology and the spices provided by Lao Lie, the taste must be unique." Hu Yanglin smiled and said. Chen Dong said.

"Looking at you, after staying here for a few months, you have become a standard foodie." Chen Dong said.

"Although the desert lacks everything, such as water and food, for those who are good at surviving in the desert and good at hunting, there are all kinds of rich and delicious ingredients in the desert, such as the most abundant rex rabbits and wild goats in the desert. , gerbil, sand fox or something." Hu Yanglin tore off a piece of rex rabbit meat with his hands, chewed it in his mouth, and said to Chen Dong.

"It seems that you like life in the desert very much."

"At the beginning, I was not used to it, but gradually I got used to it, and I started to like living here a little bit, without the hustle and bustle of the city, it is very peaceful, I am used to getting up at 5 o'clock every day, I am used to watching the sunset in the desert, and I am used to being with everyone. Gathering in the evening, setting up a bonfire, roasting the prey hunted in the desert during the day, singing songs, and talking about some interesting stories, this kind of life is a kind of enjoyment for me." Populus euphratica smiled , said.

Chen Dong took a sip of water from the kettle, and said to Hu Yanglin, "Tell me about work, is everything going well?"

Populus euphratica said, "Well, it went well. Except for two saplings that were trampled by wild goats passing by to drink water a few days after planting, the other 93 saplings survived in good condition and flourished. "Speaking of this, he paused, and then continued, "This plant seems to be naturally adapted to the desert environment. It has a huge root system and a deep tap root system, which can effectively absorb underground water sources. Some lateral roots extend to the ground and reproduce like bamboo. .

The branches and leaves are rolled up during the day and are as thin as pine needles. At night, they are stretched out and are as big as a palm, effectively absorbing the water vapor in the air.

I don't know what kind of plant this is. I checked some information on the computer, but I couldn't find any information related to this plant. Moreover, I asked Attila who lived in the desert environment since he was a child. Even he has seen it This plant keeps shouting that it is a 'miracle', and it is a gift from Tengger to the desert residents. " Hu Yanglin said.
