Chapter 188: The Story of Killing Two Birds with One Stone
Although Chen Xiaoqing is not bound to the word food today, the topic of the three of them tonight is still to start with food.
Lin Wan said with a smile: "I'm thinking now, when I return to Yanjing, if I can't find such authentic snail noodles, will I be very disappointed." ”
Chen Yiming shook his head, "Although Yanjing is called a food desert by good deeds, in fact, Yanjing's diet is very inclusive, and you should be able to find it." ”
Chen Xiaoqing also nodded, "It's true, but if it's just going in and out of various high-end places, it may be more difficult." ”
"Maybe the only way to go is to go to the Beijing office restaurant. Chen Yiming said with a smile.
Chen Xiaoqing nodded thoughtfully, and Lin Wan said again: "But as a northerner, I still feel a little spicy after eating." It's uncomfortable, but I really want to eat it again. ”
Chen Yiming nodded, "My roommate also feels this way when he eats pickled pepper and phoenix feet." ”
"Because everything that makes you addicted except sugar doesn't make you feel good in the first place. Chen Xiaoqing said with a smile: "Think about it, cigarettes, wine, coffee, and even all kinds of evil poisons, no one will feel comfortable with these things at first!"
Chen Yiming said: "And I'm still thinking about a question, what is the reason why you have never heard of these delicacies. ”
Lin Wan was stunned, but Chen Xiaoqing took over the topic directly, "Actually, this is a question I have been thinking about, I am a food lover, and I have tasted the food of many places, but I deeply regret that they have been buried in the local area, I am a documentary, I want to make a documentary about these contents, I have discussed it with people a few times, but I am not optimistic about the prospects." ”
"Food documentaries? Aren't there some? Lin Wan was surprised.
"What Director Chen wants to shoot should be a small restaurant like the one we ate at noon today. It's not even better than that, it doesn't necessarily have a signboard, and the only selection criterion should be whether it's good or not. Chen Yiming said calmly.
"Yes, yes, yes! Mr. Chen is worthy of being a confidant who knows my intentions very well. Chen Xiaoqing said excitedly.
Lin Wan finally understood why Chen Xiaoqing's friends were not optimistic, everyone should like bright and bright, the windows should be bright and clean, who would be interested in those dirty, greasy tables, chairs, benches, stoves, and TV screens can't shoot whether they are good or not.
She lamented: "This is probably really not easy to shoot." ”
Chen Xiaoqing didn't care about Lin Wan's attitude, he looked at Chen Yiming, and wanted to know what Chen Yiming thought about this matter.
Chen Yiming's gaze wandered on the faces of the two, and he suddenly smiled, "I've been thinking about what kind of mentality we should uphold and what kind of social responsibility we should bear, whether we are doing business or business." ”
In the corner of the café, in the center surrounded by various equipment and lights, two men and a woman are sitting around a small round table.
Listening to Chen Yiming's words, the other two showed contemplative expressions.
Chen Yiming said: "After occupying a certain amount of social resources, we must bear more social responsibilities accordingly. This is what the ancestors said about being poor and being good alone, and being good at the same time as helping the world. ”
Lin Wan nodded, "This is also the issue of entrepreneurs' social responsibility that is currently being discussed in society. ”
"It's not just entrepreneurs, it's actually the same. Chen Yiming said with a smile: "After all, the title of the uncrowned king back then resounded throughout the land of China. ”
Lin Wan was better, Chen Xiaoqing suddenly laughed, when the media channels were not as rich as they are now, the reporters were really powerful.
He sighed, "Actually, today's news media practitioners have more temptation of money and less responsibility." ”
Lin Wan also agreed: "Our professional ethics need to be strengthened. ”
"Haven't I been discussing with Reporter Lin what I'm going to do next? Chen Yiming looked at Chen Xiaoqing, "After listening to Director Chen's words at this time, I suddenly had an idea, if we raise the height of considering the problem a little higher, maybe we don't have to be so entangled." ”
"For example, Director Chen's idea I think it can be implemented, not simply to introduce what is delicious, but to explore the vast region of our country, those lonely and persistent tastes, those generations of craftsmanship, those unique and rare specialties, those that have raised the people of the water and soil, those warm fireworks in the world, to help inherit, help carry forward, help publicity, from tourism, to e-commerce can have a lot of effects, I think there must be a future. ”
Chen Yiming's words made Chen Xiaoqing shake, yes, if it's just a black stove, a table and chair covered with oil, of course no one likes to look at it, but if you can dig out the cultural background behind it, the growth and management of those delicacies and delicacies, and the bowl of rice, a dish, and a soup that have nourished the Chinese stomach for a long time, isn't this a promising thing?
......
Today's interview went on a little longer, and by the time we were done, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
The rest of the people rested separately, and Chen Yiming and Chen Xiaoqing took a walk in the hotel.
Chen Yiming directly threw out his thoughts, "Director Chen, I will sponsor you for this documentary." ”
Chen Xiaoqing smiled, "During the interview just now, I felt a little bit like this, but I couldn't believe it, I didn't expect Mr. Chen to come for real." ”
"I'm not a charity, I want naming rights. He also smiled and said: "I am willing to sponsor because I believe that Director Chen, as a person who has a unique hobby of food and has in-depth research, will definitely be able to make this film well, so from the perspective of a businessman, such an investment will not be lost." ”
For people like Chen Xiaoqing who have traveled from south to north and eaten and seen, it is not interesting to hide it, and it is best to spread it out.
Chen Xiaoqing nodded, "I don't know how much Mr. Chen plans to sponsor? ”
"Eight million, I won't interfere with any of your selection, material, shooting and filming, as long as you have a naming right. If it's not enough, I can add it. Chen Yiming said calmly.
Even Chen Xiaoqing was a little moved, "Mr. Chen, will you gamble too much?"
He is a project that most people are not optimistic about, and he has been planning for many years and can't even set up a project in Taiwan, and Mr. Chen is eight million without saying a word, and he only needs one naming right.
Chen Yiming handed him a cigarette, took the initiative to light it for him, and then said: "Cooking is the origin of all human cultures, and it is an art that will never fade. I believe in the power of food, and I also believe that Director Chen can show such power, and that is enough. ”
Then, he told Chen Xiaoqing about his idea of eating it, "What I want to do next is also related to eating, if Director Chen's film can be brilliant, it will also be a benefit to my career." ”
Chen Xiaoqing pondered for a while, and generally understood Chen Yiming's thinking, although he still felt a little shocked, but maybe this is why people can start such a big career at the age of less than twenty.
A smile appeared on his dark face, and he stretched out his right hand, "Happy cooperation!"
Chen Yiming smiled and stretched out his hand, "Happy cooperation." ”
After finalizing this matter, Chen Xiaoqing said with some excitement: "So that I can do some preliminary work." ”
"When we return to Yanjing, we can sign an agreement, and I can even pay an advance payment in advance to carry out the preliminary work, and when the project is set up, the balance can be received immediately. Chen Yiming smiled, "After all, I also hope to see the film come out as soon as possible." ”
Dinner was Chen Xiaoqing took everyone out to find a restaurant to eat together, although the environment is inevitably not as good as the hotel's private room, but the taste really makes the group very satisfied.
Lin Wan smiled and said, "Director Chen, what are you going to do next, if only you still follow us along the way." ”
Chen Xiaoqing was accustomed to this kind of thing, and said with a smile: "I really don't have any plans, I'm going to slowly shake over and go to the beach." ”
"That's not right! that's how we're going!" blurted out the other girl, and then instantly realized the problem.
Three more people will cost three more people, and if Mr. Chen is unhappy, their "tourism level" will plummet.
"Director Chen, if the time does not conflict, we can walk together for a few more days, and we will also be satisfied. ”
Chen Yiming spoke, and Chen Xiaoqing agreed with a smile, after all, he took all the eight million, and it was not worse than the two thousand, and when the time came, he would find a way to get a good publicity for him, and he would return it.
Chen Yiming raised his glass with a smile, "Director Chen, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
"Mr. Chen, me too!" Chen Xiaoqing raised his glass to greet him and drank it all.
At this time, he couldn't imagine how heavy the film he would make in the future would leave a heavy mark in the history of Chinese documentaries and cause such a powerful chain effect, so that he himself became a symbol of the food industry.
