Gourmet and actor

Chapter 10 Hollow Circles

Some people are pretty and smooth, but when they are on the camera, their shortcomings are magnified and their advantages are reduced, and they look like passers-by.Some people are just the opposite, and are jokingly referred to in the industry as Patriarch Shangfan.

Xiao Ke belongs to the latter group. The director was very satisfied with his performance in front of the camera, and kept him in the crew after the filming ended, chatting about the world while filming, and occasionally telling some unknown industry insiders.He also promised to give him a spot on another show.

The staff all said that Director Zhong was promoting Xiao Ke, but from He Lun's point of view, Director Zhong had an impure motive at all, he was just looking for excuses to keep him, and then asked Xiao Ke to take charge of it from time to time...

Han Xilin can tolerate mistakes made by his subordinates, but he cannot tolerate them lying.After inquiring around, He Lun felt that it was hopeless to complete the task, so He Lun had no choice but to report the whole story to the boss with a small drum in his heart.I also spent money to buy two orange fruits with the staff in advance, hoping that the boss will take it lightly for the sake of Guodian.

Unexpectedly, it would be in this direction. After listening to the report of his subordinates, Han Xilin pushed the laptop away, closed his eyes and meditated: "Do you think there is no other way?"

"Unless Director Zhong changes his mind." He Lun said cautiously, "However, it's too wicked..."

It is really wicked to cut off people's future without resentment or enmity.Han Xilin flexed his fingers and tapped the table lightly: "You also know that you are immoral, so why can't you find a reliable solution?"

He Lun shook his head, very ashamed: "I can't think of it."

Han Xilin ignored him.After contemplating for a moment, I suddenly remembered the time when I was in contact with the TV station. During the dinner, the director was overwhelmed and said with a big tongue that if the show was popular, Xueyou Channel would use the show’s IP to shoot a Chinese New Year movie.But you must be creative, and you can't do things that make the audience pay to watch variety shows on the big screen.

Speaking of which, film sponsorship is also a means of publicity, and this plan was considered in the previous plan.

Thinking of this, Han Xilin picked up the pen and wrote down a simple itinerary on the paper.

He Lun glanced at it and asked, "Mr. Han, do you want to monitor the factory yourself when you set up an office here? In fact, I don't think it's necessary. The factory is already on the right track, and all the products have been distributed to prefecture-level cities, and the progress is going well." , as long as the plan is implemented. However, several of our properties in the provincial capital have not been sold out, and the sales department intends to change the marketing plan, and the amount involved is too large, so you need to go back to City B to evaluate it yourself."

"I will go back to City B, but you have to make arrangements here too. There must be a network, and the speed must be fast. Then I need to hold a video conference." Han Xilin ignored how troublesome it is to open a network in a place where the mobile phone's 2G signal is not up to standard, Anyway, the assistant will take care of it in the end, "Xiao Ke sometimes cooks for Director Zhong? Ask him to add an extra portion. Also, please invite Director Zhong here, I have something to discuss with him."

Open up wasteland, add food, find people.He Lun bitterly wrote down these three seemingly unrelated tasks, and left the room.

After eating a piece of orange fruit, Han Xilin squinted his eyes in enjoyment, feeling the joy brought by the food, and smiled rarely.

It's not easy to find a person with a craft that suits my taste, so I can't let it go easily.Who said there is no way, he has already found it.

Xiao Ke has been very busy recently.

During the day, I observe and study with the crew, and occasionally I have to add a separate meal to Director Zhong when it comes to meal time.When I returned to the orchard at night, I had to turn on the lights and study a bunch of science and education films and e-books brought by Yu Xiaoyue.

But hard work pays off.In just a few days, he figured out the filming process of the crew, knew which departments must not be offended, and at the same time had a systematic understanding of the history of modern development.

He even learned to operate a computer.Although he was limited to moving the mouse, because he hadn't learned pinyin and couldn't type, it still made him feel that he had further integrated into the world, which gave him a sense of accomplishment.

At the same time, he also strengthened his determination to develop in the entertainment industry.I am used to the life of rich clothes and good food. Although the modern facilities are much more advanced and comfortable than the ancient ones, in terms of food, clothing and housing, how can an ordinary country orchard compare with the exquisite palace.After the initial adaptation period passed, he missed the four-sided bed that he slept in since childhood.

Enjoyment is inseparable from the support of money, and the salary in the entertainment industry is high enough to allow him to restore his old standard of living.Of course, the premise is that there must be a successful career.

For high returns, Xiao Ke thought it was worth fighting for.

Moreover, the current situation is good, and the opportunity is at hand.

The future is promising, which makes Xiao Ke feel very good.Even He Lun, who was not familiar with him, came to ask for an extra meal, but he agreed without saying anything.He Lun, who had prepared a lot of speeches, was puzzled.

This afternoon, the crew was filming the part where the children were wrapping the fruit trees that were going to survive the winter in straw. Director Zhong said that he would talk to Xiao Ke alone later.Feeling that his tone was solemn, after thinking about it, Xiao Ke went to the small kitchen in the dormitory area to cook dinner.The Chinese talk about things, how can we leave the dinner.

He doesn't think it's a shame to cook for Director Zhong.In ancient times, postgraduates asked their elders for advice, and they did even more humble things. There are countless examples.He doesn't have much money, so it's definitely worth it to exchange his cooking skills for Zhong Dao's favor.And after getting along these few days, Director Zhong has indeed taught him a lot of things, just for this point, Xiao Ke is willing to cook in return.

The temperature in the mountains is getting lower and lower these days, and there is no air conditioning.It was okay at noon, but in the evening, he and Director Zhong ate while chatting. I am afraid that the food would be almost cold before the meal was finished.There is no extra brazier in the temporary restaurant.With this in mind, after asking Director Zhong for his opinion, he decided to give up the rice and make two simple meals.

As the new year is approaching, people's demand for meat products has greatly increased.The villagers only kept one new year pig, and the remaining one a day was slaughtered and brought to nearby counties for sale.The crew also bought a lot, and after a few days of eating, almost everyone's face became round.

I have already eaten all kinds of wild vegetables with fried meat. It happened that the aunt who helped cook yesterday made lard, and there were yams in the vegetables delivered this morning.Looking around the refrigerator again, Xiao Ke decided to make hollow rice meat balls, and then a yam cake, served with vegetable soup, for a lighter meal.

First soak the glutinous rice in boiling water, then Xiao Ke picked up two ribs and cut them into small pieces, scalding to remove the remaining blood.Then cut the ham into cubes, put the two together in a cooking pot, add water and simmer.

While the soup was cooking, he chopped ginger and scallions into fine pieces.He took out another can of fried chicken, picked out some thick mushroom slices, and cut them into cubes together.

Finally, I found the minced meat from the refrigerator and poured half of it into a large bowl.Thinking that every time he cooks by himself, several star children will bring the adults to try something new, so Xiao Ke added some more, put in glutinous rice and mixed with various seasonings.

When the red and white chopped meat was fully mixed with turmeric, white onion, brown fungus, and purple rice, he washed his hands, took the lard that solidified like fat jade, squeezed the ball with one hand, scooped a small spoonful of lard with the other, and gave it to the ball Stuffing.

After a while, when the meatballs were finished, he added a steamer to the cooking pot and put two plates of meatballs in it.Then, move over to the small Mazar and start cooking yam.

In order to ensure the taste, the yam needs to be rubbed into fine fluff with a small wiper.It took twice as long as before before Xiao Ke processed the whole branch of yam.But it wasn't over yet, he took out two more chicken legs, picked out the meat, and chopped them into fluffy meat.

Mix the yam fluff and chicken fluff, add some pepper and soy sauce, Xiao Ke pours oil into the pan, and prepares pancakes.

The kitchen was temporarily borrowed by the crew, and there was no range hood. In order to disperse the smell, Xiao Ke opened the windows and doors all the way.The umami of broth and ham, the meatballs with the aroma of chicken, and the oily aroma of yam and chicken pancakes spread in all directions.

The aroma lingered throughout the dormitory building, causing the few employees who stayed in the room to edit the film to be distracted and swallow their saliva.

"I really want to try it..." An employee held the mouse in the posture of holding a chicken leg, pretending that it was delicious food.

Another person poured cold water on him: "Come on, they made it specially for the director. If the child goes there, he can still get it. If we ordinary employees go, it's just embarrassing."

"But I think he is very talkative. His friends in the orchard said they would pick him up after work every day, but he said no, and would rather walk back by himself."

"You also said that they were friends."

"But I can't eat it after smelling the fragrance. I'm really not reconciled. Besides, they don't specialize in cooking, and there is no such shop after this village. If you are famous, then you don't have to think about it. Ah, the more you eat The more I want to eat it, I will ask him if he can give me a taste!"

With that said, he put down the fake chicken leg in his hand, and rushed out of the room with a brisk walk.

The rest of the staff shrugged and suspended work, betting on his success.But after all, everyone agreed that it was useless, and the handicap betting turned into waiting for this guy to be rejected.

The entertainment industry has its own set of rules. Although they seem to be very close to the stars, what they actually do is the most unnoticed behind-the-scenes work in the industry.There may be stars who have a good relationship with the lighting and makeup on the scene, but it is definitely not their turn.

Thinking of this, several people couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and they all sat back in front of the computer listlessly, and no one paid any attention to what happened outside the window.

Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, the bold guy came back with a large lunch box in his hands, and a thermos soup pot hanging on his elbow.

His expression seemed to be sleepwalking: "Xiao Ke specifically asked how many of us there are, and brought us food according to the head. He also said that we work hard and should pay more attention to rest."

There was no sound in the room, and several people suspected that they were dreaming.But the steaming and exquisite food is right in front of you, bringing double enjoyment of sight and smell. How can it be so realistic in dreams?

After a while, someone said: "When Mr. Xiao comes out, shall we cut it better?"

Before he knew it, he had already called Xiao Ke Mr., even if the other party was a few years younger than him.

His words received unanimous approval: "Yes, yes, choose the best angle, the kind that kills all ages."

"I remember whose girlfriend is studying photography, and I'll check it out for her when the cut is finished—wait, you guys ate it while I was talking, it's so embarrassing!"

……

Xiao Ke didn't expect that his casual words of concern would bring such benefits.He just heard on the set today that post-editing was exhausting and hard work. Just now when the employee mentioned his identity, he reminded him by the way, but he didn't intend to sell it.

After the yam cakes were fried, the soup was boiled to a milky white color with a light oily yellow. Xiao Ke removed the tendons of the washed alpine cabbage and threw them in. By the way, he watched how the hollow meat rice balls were steamed.

The moment the lid was lifted, a strange fragrance that was several times stronger than before immediately filled the room.

Fumigated by hot air, the lard wrapped in the dumplings has already melted.The glutinous rice absorbs the oil and water, and the color becomes extraordinarily clear.The chicken itself can produce oil, and the combination of the light yellow mushroom oil and the transparent lard, the fragrance is really wonderful.

Xiao can smash a ball with chopsticks, checking to see if it is cooked through.At this time, Dao Zhong walked in quickly, with an excited smile on his face.

He originally wanted to speak, but when he opened his mouth, the scent flowed down the air and filled his mouth and nose, hooking his taste buds, ready to move, and he couldn't wait to put the delicious food on the tip of his tongue.

After a lot of self-control, Director Zhong resisted the urge to eat directly, and said, "Xiao Ke, I have good news for you: Taili has raised a sum of investment, and is going to invite the performers of "My Little Brother" to make a film." Comedy movies are in time for the Lunar New Year, I recommend you to play a supporting role, and Taili agrees!"
