Chapter 790 790. The powerful group and Lao Zhong
A group of people came back from the hotel, and Lu Chuan was quickly called to the business room. The other party was in a hurry to make arrangements, and he only had time to let Master Zhong prepare his own lunch before he hurried upstairs.
Other than the presidential suite, this is the only room in the hotel that can be used for work and meetings. The crew is very budget-conscious, so this is the most suitable (cheap) one.
When he knocked on the door, the other party was still cursing, and the spit almost fell off his face. Fortunately, Lu Chuan backed away quickly.
There were a dozen or so people in the room holding notebooks around the table. The storyboard director banged the notebook loudly and started arguing with the person in charge of the props.
This is obviously impossible in other crews, but in the Arctic Circle, it is common for everyone. It is obvious that the props used in this storyboard are unreasonable or exceed the budget...
In short, after the project was approved and before filming started, my daily life was like this.
Without such collective brainstorming (calling each other names), the progress will not be accelerated at all. In the entertainment industry, time is money.
Director Zhang's eyes lit up when he saw Lu Chuan: "Why did you call the leading actor over? Wait a minute, have I interviewed for this role? I'm not impressed!"
Lu Chuan:…
A group of people were still smoking in the room, but Lu Chuan had to pull down his mask: "Sorry, Director Zhang, I am Chuan Liu Shi, and I am also Lu Chuan."
They had talked on the phone and voice chat before, but they had never met in person.
After finishing speaking, he nodded to everyone, quickly put on the mask, and coughed twice: "Sorry, my respiratory tract is a bit sensitive."
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, everyone pressed cigarettes, fanned themselves with scripts, and some people quickly opened the windows and turned the air purifier to the maximum...
Just... Under the hazy light of the hotel, the other person pulled down his mask and smiled, and with that fragile respiratory tract...
What a sin! How can they smoke indoors? !
Director Zhang immediately let out a long sigh: "Has the starring role been decided yet? He is like this! He has to be like this!"
What powerful faction? What acting skills? As soon as he sticks to this appearance and temperament, no matter where he stands, he can surround them and film a story about a country being ruined, a family being destroyed, and a beauty being strong and powerful!
Some people stand there with their heads empty and no air at all, while some people stand there surrounded by pine trees and feel a sense of story when they raise their eyelids.
The casting director smiled awkwardly: "The contract has been signed, do you want to pay liquidated damages?"
The deputy director also quickly said to Director Li: "The original author is here, why don't we discuss the plot first?"
Director Zhang calmed down when it came to liquidated damages - no one can get money from his crew!
At this moment, he just sighed and looked at Lu Chuan: "As the original author, do you want to play a guest role?"
Lu Chuan would like to thank you for your courtesy.
So, while Director Zhang was sighing, the screenwriters looked at Lu Chuan and were filled with inspiration. Even the props and art were staring at Lu Chuan again and again, mumbling and writing...
They spent the whole morning going through three important scenes, and made up three sets of makeup and costume drawings for the male protagonist, along with the details of the weapons.
Although the basic props and costumes are now ready, it doesn’t matter. Many plots are arranged last in the order of scenes, so there is still time!
It wasn’t until twelve o’clock at noon that everyone hungrily ended the discussion and notified the hotel to deliver food.
As for Lu Chuan's food, Chef Zhong personally delivered it as soon as the room number information was sent out.
The other person was pushing the dining cart and looked at him with particularly warm and attentive eyes.
Lu Chuan: ...He had a premonition.
Chef Zhong looked at the crowd of people inside and lowered his voice: "Mr. Lu, may I ask where you bought these ingredients?"
Lao Zhong really regrets it!
He has cooked for many celebrities and rich people in this hotel, and he also handled the ingredients he brought with him. It is not unusual at all to swim in the water. At most, everyone just has nothing to do to evaluate the quality of the ingredients.
The other party only requires the use of these, but is not restricted to use only these. So he soaked white fungus, dried eggplant, and fished out half a can of sour cowpea in the morning.
Specialty, just eat it and enjoy the "taste of home". It just so happens that there are such down-to-earth and storable ingredients, he has already thought out the menu - for lunch, he will make a stewed eggplant stew, stir-fried minced meat with sour cowpeas, and a bowl of white fungus soup and a bowl of rice.
It’s ordinary and has no special features, right?
But since people bring ingredients like this, this is probably what they want. Who can accurately guess the tastes and thoughts of this rich man?
He habitually picked up a sour cowpea and tasted it to see how it tasted. Who would have thought that after taking this one, he would eat three more in a row!
If the professional ethics were not there, I might have eaten half the can empty!
It’s simply astonishing!
It can’t be done!
This sour cowpea looks ordinary, how can it be so delicious? It was sour, crispy and refreshing when it entered his mouth, and his saliva surged with excitement. He even waved to the other chefs nearby to come over, and each of them picked up one with chopsticks.
It’s really just one.
The sour cowpeas were cut into dices and put in jars. Five or six people couldn't even get enough of the three-centimeter pieces, which was completely shabby.
But everyone didn’t dislike Lao Zhong’s appearance. They subconsciously and cautiously put it into their mouths and commented.
Hmm! !
Everyone was shocked.
Everyone gathered around and talked a lot, and they had gathered eight or nine secret pickling recipes, but they couldn't find the reason why the sour cowpea tastes so delicious!
This is not over yet.
I saw Lao Zhong unscrewing the can of red chopped chili pepper again, and also carefully picked out a little minced chili pepper mixed with minced garlic and stuffed it into his mouth.
In just a moment, his entire face turned red, and he gasped with his mouth open:
“It’s so spicy! It’s so strong! It’s the best. This is...”
But this time, Lao Zhong didn’t ask anyone else to taste it again.
"Who has ever tasted such good food in this life? Let me tell you, this customer has an amazing temperament and is very low-key. Maybe he got some amazing ingredients... I tasted it just for cooking, you guys. If you don’t do it, what will you taste?”
But you don’t have to taste it, wait until noon when the white fungus soup churns out a slightly sweet aroma, the rice is steaming, the eggplant is stewed soft and fragrant, and the sour cowpea taste is even more overbearing!
The entire kitchen knows how great this ingredient is.
So much so that Lao Zhong had to lock them in a cabinet just in case.
Then he watched the meal, and when Lu Chuan said the room number, he pushed the car directly and rushed into the elevator steadily and quickly.
Now, even though I know I shouldn’t, a qualified chef should look at the customers eagerly at the right time!
Lu Chuan looked at the food in front of him and was silent for a moment.
It is normal for chefs to taste the ingredients and not to take advantage of them.
Director: What kind of strength do you want? That's what I want!
Lao Zhong: I'm so stupid, really. I only knew that people were rich and pretentious enough to bring their own ingredients, but I didn't expect to bring this kind of top-notch food...
No, good night. Went to wash my hair.
This is to prepare the ground for the heroine's filming in the spring and summer.
The male and female protagonists will not enter the entertainment industry. The heroine hums while farming during the day, and hums at night...
In short, the plan to meet in winter remains unchanged.
