The stream eel is an amazing creature. Born in the sea, it had to compete with itself, swimming upstream, finding a place close to humans and swimming for a long time. Finally, we successfully caught it in the stream. The firm stream eel paired with the soft and sticky duck belly fish glue immediately distinguished it from the river eel raised in the greenhouse. To be honest, the taste of this fish belly is more amazing. The elastic and sticky texture plus the sauce make it more fragrant the more you chew it in your mouth.

Afterwards, when Mr. Wang was paying the bill, Tianci deliberately glanced at the price. This small pot cost 6400.

To be honest, the eleven dishes today all taste pretty good.

The first dish served was red oil clams.

It's delicious, the ingredients crush everything, the texture is thick and crispy, soak it in boiling broth for a few seconds, then transfer it to ice water, and drizzle with the prepared red oil, which is the best way for it to appear.

Jellyfish head mixed with moringa seedlings, it tastes crispy, spicy and a little sour. It can cure any loss of appetite, and it is a typical appetizer.

Amber Drunken Prawns with Soft and Runny Heart. The prawn shells are boiled into a shape that looks like you can't even eat it. The prawns are from Southeast Asia and are slow-cooked at low temperature with the roe still on. They are soaked in eight-year-old Huadiao wine. The roe part of the prawns is runny, while the meat is firm, fresh and sweet. It is also a signature dish of the restaurant. According to Tianci's sneak peek afterwards, the price is 2212.

The main dish served afterwards was the river eel Buddha Jumps Over the Wall mentioned earlier. Its rich aroma and amazing taste were truly worthy of its reputation.

After eating the main course worth 6800 yuan, I quickly ate some cold dishes to calm my nerves.

The spicy braised seasonal delicacy looks very ordinary, and it seems to be a small cold dish that every small shop has. However, this bird scallop with scallop meat and a few spoons of chili oil is delicious. Tianci was so delicious that he ate two bowls of rice in no time.

Come on, destroy it. Tianci had never seen what the 490 yuan steamed dumplings looked like. Rounding up 5 dumplings, it would be 100 yuan each. There were seven people on the field, so each person had less than one turn. Tianci was greedy for the dumplings, but he knew his status and didn't dare to take one. Fortunately, Xia Haoyang saw the envious look on Tianci's face and picked one for him.

Shepherd's purse and yellow croaker dumplings, with shepherd's purse and yellow croaker as filling at 30 yuan per pound, available all over the Chinese seas, the meat is similar to that of yellow croaker. If you ask if it tastes good, Tianci was shocked by the price at the time and has already forgot the taste of the dumplings.

The next dish is braised stream eel and abalone wings, which is a pot of soup made with abalone, eel and vermicelli, but it tastes fresh and fragrant, and a little sweet.

Here comes the weird part: steamed stream eel with yellow pepper and pork intestines. The yellow pepper wraps the eel meat with a sour and spicy taste, and the pork intestines provide a stinky taste. Unexpectedly, it is really delicious with the sour soup. Xia Haoyang himself couldn't help but drink a few more sips. In Xia Haoyang's eyes, this is the most delicious dish today.

In fact, if your ingredients are all good, it will be difficult to make dark dishes, and they will not taste bad no matter how you cook them.

After eating a pot of eggplant and a plate of scrambled eggs, it’s time for today’s dessert.

Mr. Wang kept saying that the dessert was delicious. On a plate, on the left was a bird's nest glutinous rice dumpling with snow skin, priced at 70 yuan each, and on the right was a bird's nest ice cream with tangerine peel, snow honey and orange peel, made by the chef on the spot, priced at 200 yuan each. In other words, there were two desserts on one plate, but the combination of the two prices was definitely delicious, absolutely, without any faults. However, this small bite of ice cream was worth 200 yuan, which made Tianci and others who knew the price afterwards stunned. Compared with this, Haagen-Dazs was as cheap and tasteless as cabbage.

The 11 dishes in this meal were worth nearly yuan, not including the three bottles of Moutai liquor. The point is that the three people, including Xia Haoyang, did not feel full.

Afterwards, the three of them drove to a late-night snack stand to eat skewers and drink beer. This Western-style eating method is just for trying something new and tasty, but it is really not suitable for Chinese people who have larger appetites.

Basically, when everyone had eaten most of the dishes on the table and only a small amount of the three bottles of white wine was left in everyone's glasses, the bosses started to talk about business.

"Mr. Xia, do you have any extra scripts on hand recently?" Mr. Dong, the oldest president of Darabona Film and Television, asked.

Since they specifically asked Xia Haoyang to meet, and Xia Haoyang knew that in everyone's eyes his ability was just to write songs and scripts, then things would eventually return to this topic, and this was indeed the case.

"There really is no ready-made script, but this is how I worked with Mr. Teng from Anyi Gang before: I provided a general story of the script, and designed the main plots and the personalities of the male and female protagonists, as well as important lines. Then you all went back to find your own screenwriter to rework it, and find your own director to shoot it. What do you think of this way of cooperation?" Xia Haoyang smiled.

Everyone looked at each other, and then Mr. Wang spoke up, "The Anyi Gang in Hong Kong recently filmed two movies for Mr. Xia. The first movie of Race has grossed nearly 30 billion yuan, and the second movie has grossed 4 million yuan in the past three days. It is estimated that it will gross over billion yuan during the National Day holiday, and it will be the same as the first movie in the whole month. This is indeed the kind of cooperation Mr. Xia mentioned. Mr. Teng from Anyi Gang also got to know Mr. Xia through my channels."

“Since there is a precedent for such cooperation, why don’t we give it a try?” Mr. Ke was the first to express his opinion.

"Lao Ke, that's right. You know what, I came here today to try this kind of cooperation model with President Xia, so that I don't have to wait half a year to get a TV series script from President Xia." President Wang complained jokingly.

"I don't know how the cost of such cooperation will be calculated?"

"Ten million for a movie script outline, fixed price. You decide the subject matter. We will not be responsible for any losses from the movie!" Xia Haoyang made the final decision.

The fact is that people with money or power are more courageous and decisive. There was almost no hesitation and no doubt. Every company, including Mr. Wang, put out 30 million and signed a cooperation plan with Xia Haoyang for three films.

The 120 million yuan project was finalized at this dinner. It was the first cooperation reached. Both parties were very happy and everyone was very satisfied with the dinner.

Afterwards, it was Mr. Wang who paid the bill. Mr. Ke and others were eager to pay, but Mr. Wang said, "There will be many opportunities in the future. Next time the movie is a big hit, don't you plan to treat Mr. Xia to a meal as a reward? I want to accompany you anyway and have a festive meal."

Since Mr. Wang said so, everyone knew that they would have the opportunity to get together again in the future, so no one rushed to pay the bill with Mr. Wang.

For Fat Cat Studio, it took more than six years, step by step, to finally get into the top circle of the entertainment industry.
