Born to be a showman

As mentioned earlier, Moby, one of the protagonists in Allen's script, is a Chinese businessman, formerly known as Qiu Huaishang, who loves food and wine. Before leaving his home country, he was also a rich gourmet.

When I am abroad, I still miss the grass and trees of my home country. I use the cook from my home country, and there are fine wines from my home country in the cellar. Even when the season comes, whenever I have the opportunity, I will take my grandson to make wine by myself and teach Qiu Gui to recite poems.

Later, he named his grandson Qiugui, and the meaning is clear at a glance.Unfortunately, due to physical reasons, he has been unable to return to his home country in person.

Of course, these only exist in the memory of the protagonist Qiugui. At the beginning of the story, Qiugui took a leave of absence from school and returned to China with his grandfather’s ashes. painstakingly.

Therefore, the filming locations are in the UK and Huaguo respectively, so the authentic taste is required. The gorgeous manors in the UK and the fireworks-filled alleys in Huaguo form a sharp contrast. The only thing that remains the same is the memory of the homeland and the food. love.

Of course, this is a movie defined as food, and it is obvious that food is the theme of the film.

Jiang Chiyue took two little assistants and quietly went to England to join the filming group.

On this day, I just finished filming a scene that existed in Qiugui’s memory. Grandpa Qiuhuai took him in the wine cellar and told the story of each wine to many neatly packed wine jars. play.

Xiaoting chirped and sent a cup of hot water, and said mysteriously: "Brother Jiang, does our director's house have mines? I heard people say that this luxurious manor belongs to the director's friend's house, and he lent it to us for filming. Only then can we clean up the guest room and let us live here!"

Jiang Chiyue was dressed in a suit, her hair was half down, revealing her bright eyes. She was a typical student attire.

She drank her saliva and nodded, and asked Xiaoting a little funny: "Didn't you still clamor to use a translator a few days ago? This will allow you to share gossip with each other?"

Xiaoting smiled and raised her chin: "Brother Jiang, don't underestimate people, I'm very good!"

On this point, Jiang Chiyue admitted that when she went to Monaco once, Ren Xiaoting discovered her own shortcomings in the international common language, and when she returned, she enrolled in a class and worked hard on tutoring, but the effect was unknown.

When I came out this time, due to the influence of the environment, I could see that I was not used to it in the first few days, but I quickly adjusted my mood, and my speaking ability improved rapidly. This is enough to chat with other people's assistants about Alan's gossip.

Jiang Chiyue reminded her: "Do you know what Director Alan's last name is?"

Xiaoting: "Ross?"

"Ah."

"Could it be the Ross I know?"

"Ah."

"Is it really Ross from the Ross family that has produced many world-class artists?"

"If there is no second Rose."

Xiaoting pinched her phone excitedly, her eyes shining brightly: "My God, why am I so good! I'm actually in the same crew as such an awesome character! Will his family come to visit the set? Will there be a great artist? When the time comes Can we take a photo together?"

Jiang Chiyue shook her head and sighed, and walked to the rest area.

Let Xiaoting clear her mind.

Xiaoshuai came over and talked to Jiang Chiyue in a low voice, his tone was not without excitement: "Brother Jiang, there is news from China that the Feihua Awards are about to start, and you nominated the best newcomer and best supporting actor for "Warm Colors". Nominated for Best Actress, Excellent Serial Series, Excellent Screenplay, Excellent Editing, and Excellent Camera. Recently, the limelight has been very popular. Brother Zhou called. According to your performance in the first half of the year, these two awards are relatively stable. You just know that there is such a thing. .”

The Huaguo TV Drama Feihua Award was founded at the end of the last century. It is held once a year. It was originally named "National Excellent TV Drama Award". It is a "government award" for TV. judge.It is the earliest TV award with the longest history in China.

With a certain degree of authority, the award has high gold content and is generally recognized in the industry. Although art is not unique, and it is not necessarily bad to not win an award, it is undeniable that the award-winning works are excellent.

Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Jiang Chiyue asked lazily, "Is there anything else?"

Xiaoshuai gritted his teeth, and said as if death was at home: "Brother Zhou ordered you to calm down and stop making troubles. This time is very sensitive, even if you don't make troubles, someone will take the opportunity to blackmail you, you understand. "

Jiang Chiyue once again felt that Zhou Ke had deeply misunderstood him, and asked Xiaoshuai sincerely: "Am I doing something wrong?"

Xiaoshuai closed his eyes and shook his head against his will: "No."

Whether to make trouble or not, the person involved has no compulsion in his heart, he, a little assistant who has no human rights and has to work under other people's hands, will not participate.

Jiang Chiyue continued to walk forward thoughtfully, and the director Allen called him mysteriously: "Jiang, come and talk about the next plot."

Jiang Chiyue twitched the corners of her mouth speechlessly. She was really tired. To be honest, this is a food healing film, and the core is naturally food. The crew often filmed the scenes of Qiu Gui and his family eating, and they were all very particular about Hua national dish.

The old man of the Qiu family is from Cantonese, so Cantonese cuisine is most often served on the Qiu family's dinner table. As we all know, Cantonese cuisine is Cantonese cuisine, which is one of the eight traditional Chinese cuisines.

Originated in Lingnan.It consists of three local flavors: Guangzhou cuisine (also known as Guangfu cuisine), Chaozhou cuisine (also known as Chaoshan cuisine), and Dongjiang cuisine (also known as Hakka cuisine), each of which has its own characteristics.Cantonese cuisine is as famous as French cuisine all over the world. As the number of overseas Chinese in Guangdong accounts for 1% of the country, most Chinese restaurants around the world mainly serve Cantonese cuisine. (Note [-])

Allen is a director as well as an artist. He has the ancestral character of the Ross family who does not regard money as money for the sake of art. This time the crew also enjoyed his demanding performance and tasted countless classic Cantonese dishes.

Especially now that the Feng family's money is still being spent, Alan has no psychological pressure to use it.

Jiang Chiyue came to Alan in the eyes of encouragement and anticipation from the crew, and Alan said in a tone of studying advanced art: "Jiang, which dish do you think the housekeeper should prepare for the master of the house in the next scene is better?" ?”

Jiang Chiyue was expressionless: "Didn't you write the script? One roasted suckling pig with sesame skin, one Cantonese dish of dendrobium clear soup with Liao ginseng, fried pineapple with raw bones, and a snack of steamed rice rolls with burrata."

There was no need to memorize these, but Jiang Chiyue memorized them all because of being annoyed by the crew.

At the beginning, because most of the crew and actors were Alan's old crew in other people's home courts, they were somewhat xenophobic, and the performance was not obvious, but negligence was inevitable.

Before Brother Xiaojiang could display his charm, Allen couldn't wait to come to a scene about food. In this scene, Qiugui, played by Jiang Chiyue, brought his classmates to his house as guests. At the suggestion of his grandfather, , invited the students to taste the authentic Huaguo cuisine.

I don't know if the classmate's taste buds have been subdued, anyway, the staff of the crew were subdued for no reason. Later, everyone heard that one of the chefs was brought by Jiang Chiyue from Huaguo, and from there on Jiang Chiyue attitude is even better.

Now that everyone has experience, every time the director calls Jiang Chiyue to talk and discuss the script, there will be delicious food soon!So everyone looked at the two people in the corner with even more enthusiastic eyes.

Allen licked his lips, blinked, and said very simply: "I think we can also add a Shunde public braised fish body, fried fresh abalone slices with shrimp paste and butter, and roast goose with grapefruit peel."

After all, he looked at Jiang Chiyue expectantly, as if waiting for Jiang Chiyue's approval.

Jiang Chiyue felt a headache.

It's okay to meet someone who is picky about the details of the shooting, but it's even more terrifying to meet someone who can even make a little artistic concession or shameless for the sake of a bite.

"I don't think so," Jiang Chiyue said emotionally, "If the budget is enough, and the chef agrees to cook so many big dishes at once."

Allen showed a shy smile at Jiang Chiyue with a beer belly, Jiang Chiyue couldn't help rubbing the goosebumps on his arms: "Say something, don't look at me like this again, it's scary!"

Alan Ken happily said to Jiang Chiyue: "I asked the chef, and he said that he receives the salary of your company, and you are his leader here, and only listen to you! Jiang, can you go and talk to him? , we can give him an extra salary!"

Speaking of this, I have to mention that this chef is for this movie. Zhou Ke borrowed it from an authentic Cantonese restaurant. Finished with his little disciples, it can be said that he is the soul of this film, and it belongs to the indispensable part.

Jiang Chiyue just wanted to say: "From the start to now, there are only five food scenes, but you have already increased the salary of the chef thirteen times, are you embarrassed?"

Before he could say anything, he looked back, and there were dozens of Hulala people, including his two assistants, all looking at this side with bright eyes, and the expression was obvious—want to eat!

Come on, Jiang Chiyue went to discuss the salary increase with the chef with a cold face.

Director Allen and the crew won again and cheered behind Jiang Chiyue.

Xiaoting ran up in small steps to keep up with Jiang Chiyue's footsteps, and smiled to please Jiang Chiyue: "Brother Jiang, you are so kind! Everyone likes you! Also, the manor housekeeper said that he specially invited you I hired two Chinese chefs, and I want people to learn from our chefs, do you think so?"

"Shouldn't this be discussed with the chef?"

Xiao Ting said happily: "The housekeeper said that he has already contacted the chef, but the chef also said that he signed a contract with us, so we need to get our consent."

What can Jiang Chiyue do?He always felt that agreeing to Allen's request this time was wrong from the very beginning, from a director who was stuttering, who flew with Eric, who ran all over China on loan, to all kinds of directors who wanted to eat food. The crew members who couldn't get up their spirits to racially discriminate against him, down to the chef who controlled the key points of the crew and the housekeeper in this manor, were all weird, and they seemed to be all focused on eating.But obviously it's too late to regret it now, so I can only bite the bullet.

"Let them coordinate by themselves without affecting the work of the crew!"

Xiao Ting cheered, jumped and ran away: "I'll tell the butler right away. The butler said, after those two people learn it, they will be able to eat delicious food every day."

Jiang Chiyue felt tired and didn't love her, so she waved her hand: "Just be happy."
