British 1986

The brand of the food factory at home is called Haochi, and Allen doesn't change it. Instead, he feels that the brand name is simple, crude and straightforward. Coupled with the like-like logo, it looks very festive and does not need to be fancy.

In ordinary people's perception, the product diagrams painted on the packaging of instant noodles are basically not to be taken seriously, just take a look.

But Mr. Allen doesn’t do business with lies!

If it's ordinary instant noodles, for example, the bagged instant noodles that have been put into production in China.

The packaging above is the actual product picture taken.

There's no meat in the instant noodles, just a little bit of dried vegetable wrap.

Although it may not look as good-looking as other products with fancy packaging, it is more practical and what you see is what you get.

But now with the blessing of beef production areas, higher-end instant noodles can be produced.

What he is holding now is a newly developed product, which is also the most common braised beef noodles among the public!

But this braised beef noodles is very high-end.

It feels very heavy when you pick it up.

The packaging is more than twice the size of normal barreled instant noodles.

The most barreled instant noodles on the market now are the ones produced in Japan. It is better to say that they are packaged in barrels than in cups.

The packaging looks very stingy. For someone like Allen, who eats four or five bowls at a time, even the soup and water are not enough.

Allen doesn't like such products very much, which is one of the main reasons why these instant noodles from the island country cannot sell well in Europe and the United States.

The portion is small and the taste is unpalatable.

For the same price, why don't people go to a fast food restaurant and buy a sandwich or burger instead of buying a small bucket of tasteless instant noodles?

Isn't this a mental illness?

But now this new delicious instant noodles deluxe version is different.

Opening the package, the top item inside is a small plastic folding fork.

Take out the small fork and underneath is a very thick and extra large sauce packet.

In addition to sauce packets, there are also seasoning packets and vegetable packets.

In order to be more affordable, the instant noodles in this kind of packaging are much thicker than the instant noodles in ordinary bags. The noodles can just catch the bottom of the packaging barrel and occupy half of the entire barrel.

The essence of this deluxe version of instant noodles is found in this thick, oversized sauce packet.

There are real pieces of braised beef with a solid content of more than 100g.

Two taels of beef are directly covered with instant noodles. Is this really luxurious enough?

For competing products of this era, it is definitely considered luxurious.

With the advantage of the origin of beef, as long as the price is controlled within a certain cost, there is no need to worry about selling this thing.

The remaining fried crocodile meat and fried steak are both local specialties. Allen mainly tastes them to feel the quality.

The crocodile meat is okay to eat, a little more tender and chewy than chicken, and the quality of the beef here is only a little better than the ordinary lowest-end beef.

If you want to sell high-quality meat, there is no chance, but if you supply low-end Western restaurants and use it as steak ingredients, it will be just right, such as Salia.

"Are these sauce packets produced separately here and then packaged and sent to China?"

I took a bite of the soaked deluxe version of instant noodles. The taste was average, and the beef was quite tasty. However, it seemed to be a little different from the braised beef noodles in Allen's impression, but it was not a big problem.

"I have reported to the people here that if the packaged beef is sent to China for production, it is better to produce it directly here. The cost can be better reduced. The finished product is made here, shipped there, and then it is produced and packaged over there. It’s ready for sale.”

"Well, the spending power there may not be very friendly to this kind of product at the beginning. Let's see the sales later and take our time."

After coming out of the cannery, today's inspection can be put away first. It gets hotter and hotter in the afternoon. Old Carl took Allen to the management accommodation area built along the river, which is a row of river-view villas.

Half of the white iron-wood structure houses were built on the beach along the river bank, with cement pillars supporting the base of the entire house.

This kind of design can better prevent insects and storm winds, and can also be better for ventilation of the house.

The environmental protection indicators in the Northern Territory are not serious yet, and there are no restrictions on the installation of air conditioners. All villas here can be equipped with air conditioners.

After taking the coffee from Nicole, Allen took a sip and took out a pen and paper to write something.

After Bill Hayden left that day, he sent Patrice to Xiangjiang to find Wei Dewei with his handwritten letter.

Allen still remembered that when Diana made an appointment with him some time ago, she said that she would go to Xiangjiang with Boss Cha at the end of the year, but Diana didn't know what she would do specifically.

Patrice was sent over this time to find out information for Allen.

Although you can call and ask about this kind of thing directly, it is not safe to call!

What's more, if you are asking for such private information, it would be safest to send someone directly with the message.

Allen was eager to know what Boss Cha was here for and whether it would affect some of his plans. He came all the way here for no reason, and Allen was very curious.

The weather in Wales in August is sweltering and muggy.

Cameron specifically asked the crew to finish work early today and just finish shooting this scene.

The place where they are today is a suburb on the outskirts of the town of Carmarthen.

It's still some distance away from Allen's old filming location.

Because the scenes to be filmed during this period are a bit dangerous.

They are all explosion scenes, especially the explosion scenes of vehicles. If this is too close to a town, it would be a safety hazard.

In many movie scenes, there is a classic scene where two cars collide and then burst into flames. With a "coax" sound and black smoke, the two cars explode.

In the meantime, the protagonist had to roll and crawl out of the car. Occasionally, he would jump forward and lie down on the ground in coordination with the figure about to explode. After the protagonist lay down, the car also exploded.

But in fact, how can a car explode so easily?

Among other things, in those movies a bullet hits the gas tank and the whole car blows up.

This rarely happens in reality.

Let's just say that the bullet shot the fuel tank. Let alone a bullet, it just smashed the fuel tank into a sieve. It is more likely that the oil will leak out rather than explode.

Now if you want to shoot an explosion scene, of course it would be better to use a real car to make it realistic, but if you want a big truck to explode, how much explosives will be needed?

This thing is too dangerous. Cameron wants to be exciting and real, but he doesn't want to die.

So in the end I had to settle for the next best thing and order a few miniature vehicle models.

In this way, the vehicle looks real and the shooting effect is better. The price of this 1:6 miniature vehicle model with all parts is really not much cheaper than the real car. This is better than safety.

Long steel cables are dragged on the ground on both sides, and a crane is responsible for towing them in the distance. The steel cables are tied to two miniature truck models. Today, we will first shoot a shot of two vehicles colliding.

As Cameron called it a day, the atmosphere in the entire crew went from tense and depressing to a little excited.

As Allen took away some members of the crew, the entire crew looked "leaner" and the filming of the film was nearing completion.

Cameron took the initiative to invite Arnold to ride in the same car with him. Today was a collective team-building activity for the crew that he and Butler Huter had applied for - to visit and eat at the count's manor.

This was the opportunity to apply because of Allen's vacation and Cameron's old face.

Half of the entire "Terminator 2" crew are veteran employees of Allen's crew, and the remaining half were brought over from Hollywood and Canada by Cameron.

Plus a few of the main actors.

Don't look at Arnold's popularity due to "Terminator 1", and his salary has also increased to two to three million US dollars.

But these are all false. Due to his muscular image and the awkward Austrian accent, Arnold's acting career is actually very narrow. Coupled with his poor acting skills, Arnold is now priceless but not marketable.

No one asked him to film!

The rich producers looked down on an actor like him who was not good enough, but the producers who liked him also felt that his salary was too expensive. Muscular men were so easy to find. Anyway, sunglasses and all, they looked like that.

Therefore, even after all his scenes were filmed, Arnold did not leave. Instead, he stayed on the set to see if Cameron needed to shoot any additional scenes later, so that he would not have to travel back and forth between the United States and Wales.

Arnold was still curious and excited about visiting the manor today.

He comes from a small place, and he sees a lot of rich people now, so it is not too rare. He himself has become famous in recent years, and he has a small fortune. He also bought a set in the United States, which is not too small. house.

But Arnold was still very curious about the life of this traditional aristocrat, let alone such a hereditary aristocrat who was still in power. He always listened to Cameron bragging to him about how powerful this aristocratic master in his family was.

After listening to it more, even Arnold himself felt a little in awe.

Especially during the filming in Wales, all kinds of things he saw and heard gave him a deeper understanding of what a traditional hereditary noble with a fief is.

This is really not comparable to the kind of wealthy businessmen in the United States.

It doesn't mean that the bigger your house is, the more women you have, and the more bodyguards you have, the higher your status will be.

This earl is a real noble with status and tradition, and there is no comparison with those wealthy businessmen.

After passing the strict inspection at the gate as usual, Nano sat in the car and looked at two big men in camouflage uniforms and short-sleeved shirts in the distance, leading two wolf dogs around the manor's wall, as if they were inspecting something.

The vehicle followed the path, passed the stables on the side, and then stopped at the side and rear of the main building.

Cameron pointed to a place in the distance that looked like the entrance to the hall and said, "This is where the servants eat. Aren't you always curious? Come with me?"

"maid?"

Arnold's voice was a bit muffled and unclear, which only Cameron, who had worked with him for a long time, could barely understand.

"Then what else are you thinking about? You know that Sir Hut, right? He is also the earl's servant, and he occasionally comes here to eat when he is not busy."

"oh!"

When Cameron said this, Arnold reacted. Isn't this the staff restaurant?

But the Earl's employees are all servants of his own family. This makes sense, but everyone has different perceptions. Although they are servants, I have never seen them have low self-esteem. The servants here are like the servants in the United States. , there seems to be a little difference, but the cores are similar.

Following Cameron into this huge restaurant, Arnold thought that his arrival would at least cause a bit of a stir, or that someone would ask for his autograph or something.

But the reality is cruel

Several servants who had just finished their meal walked past them without even looking at them, as if they were nothing.

Cameron looked at Arnold who looked disappointed and smiled.

After this Austrian guy became famous, he seemed to think that Hollywood was the whole world. But outside of the United States, especially in a place like the UK, who would know you?

Meryl, Oscar-winning actress!

I came here to shoot a minor movie like that for His Excellency the Earl, without a single complaint. Compared with these actors who have already won Oscar-level honors, what kind of star is he Arnold?

Moreover, this is the restaurant in the manor. Most of the servants are either old people from the earl's family or retired Navy veterans. Who can afford a movie star?

People don't clearly despise him, but he is already considered to be of high quality.

Taking Arnold to the meal window and picking up a dinner plate, Cameron moved to the meal window skillfully.

Even though this is a maid restaurant, the food standards provided here are basically comparable to those of four-star hotels outside.

There is a row of more than ten meters long dining windows, including Chinese, French, Italian, Japanese, British and other cuisines. The dishes are very rich. You can get whatever you want, and a twenty-hour system is implemented here. .

That is to say, it is open twenty hours a day, so you can come and dine at any time. The four hours it is closed are used for cleaning and disinfection.

Due to their different jobs, some of these servants have to work night shifts. Sometimes they finish their work in the middle of the night, but they can still come here to eat. Basically, the scheduled team will try their best to avoid a few hours of rest in the restaurant. Come here for a meal.

After ordering a few dishes that looked delicious, Cameron passed by a window and ordered a large portion of ice cream. Then Arnold, with a curious look on his face, found a seat to sit down and eat.

"Here. The old people on the crew used to eat here when they didn't go out."

Cameron scooped a scoop of ice cream and stuffed it into his mouth, explaining to Arnold while eating.

"Director, can this manor accommodate so many people? They usually work here?"

Arnold, who came here for the first time, was stunned by the food standard. To be honest, it was better than his daily food standard. Moreover, he never saw any charges during the whole process. He didn’t know if it was free or if it would be paid from his salary. Button.

Glancing at Arnold sideways, Cameron pointed outside with a fork and said, "How many people could live here before?! A small cavalry regiment, five hundred people! Do you understand?! These five hundred people are the size of the cavalry. Not counting the servants and servants brought by the cavalry, do you think we can’t live here?”

"hiss"

Hearing this, Arnold took a slight breath, this is...

Just as he was about to turn his head to take a look, Arnold was suddenly attracted to an extremely haggard-looking man diagonally across from him.
