Chapter 234: Oscar-winning director
Maybe it's because the closing time is a bit long, so even with Zhang Bufan's Weibo for publicity, business is still relatively bleak in the first few days of the opening.
Well, it may also be because those regular customers are all old and don't play Weibo at all.
On the first day, only two people came, one of whom had never been seen before, and the other was in the shape of a field.
Zhang Bufan knew that he was playing Weibo, and the two of them also followed each other, and as soon as the restaurant opened, he came, and it was almost certain that he saw Zhang Bufan's Weibo.
And his subsequent actions amply prove it.
As soon as the old man entered the door, he didn't look at the menu, and directly began to order, "Zhang'er, bring me two bowls of water-ground bean curd, and then give me a spicy chicken...... Well, it's still a big plate of chicken, and I can't eat spicy food recently, so let's have another ...... Braised bamboo shoots in oil and a fish-flavored shredded pork. ”
There was no one else in the small restaurant, and Zhang Bufan was more relaxed when talking to him, "Uncle Tian, you have a good appetite?
"Who said I'm alone?" Tian Xiangxiang glanced at him and said, "I had a treat today, and I didn't think of where to invite it, but it just so happened that you opened the door from a new beginning, hey you said it was a coincidence." ”
"That's such a coincidence, you're sitting, I'll do it for you. Zhang Bufan said, turning around and preparing to enter the kitchen.
"Hey, wait. Tian Xiangzhi stopped him, "You still have a little second, right? If not, I'll go out and buy it now." ”
"Yes, I just went in yesterday, so you can rest assured. Zhang Bufan entered the kitchen with a smile.
Zhang Bufan started cooking inside, first two bowls of bean curd were brought out, and then he came back and started to make a large plate of chicken, halfway through, the new bell on the door outside rang, and someone came.
Zhang Bufan didn't go out, if he ordered food, people outside would naturally call him.
After waiting for a while without a sound, Zhang Bufan knew that it should be the person who was invited by Tian Xiangzhi.
Zhang Bufan is a little slower to cook a large plate of chicken, because he likes to simmer in the pot for a while, so that the potatoes can be softer and more flavorful.
With a large plate of chicken stuffing in the pot, Zhang Bufan turned his head to make braised bamboo shoots in oil.
There are various methods of braised bamboo shoots in oil, depending on the material, there are generally two kinds of bamboo shoots used to make braised bamboo shoots in oil, one is winter bamboo shoots and the other is spring bamboo shoots.
Zhang Bufan uses winter bamboo shoots, the method is also very simple, the bamboo shoots go to the old roots and cut into strips, stir-fry with green onions and ginger, and then add soy sauce, star anise, cinnamon and a little mushroom soaked in water together with a simple stir-fry again, then cover the pot, simmer until the soup is dry, and then you can get out of the pot.
After cooking, pour a circle of sesame oil to add color and flavor.
After doing this, I made another dish of fish-flavored shredded pork, and the time for the big plate of chicken over there was about the same, so I took it out of the pot and brought it out one by one.
Outside, sure enough, there is still only a table in the shape of a field, but there is one more person, Zhang Bufan looked at it, yo, hehe, it is a big bald head.
I don't know if it's because of the characteristic of "bald head", Zhang Bufan actually thinks that this person is a bit similar to Guan Huchang, and after thinking about it again, hey, it seems to be a little similar to Xu Zheng, so I want to laugh, but I can't help it.
Put the big plate of chicken on the table first, and when I saw it, the two bowls of bean curd had been wiped out.
Tian Xiangzhi saw him come out and said with a smile: "Yes, Zhang'er, I have been making movies for half a year, and this skill has not fallen." ”
"That is, how can the ability to eat fall, you wait a minute, there are still two dishes, I will bring them out for you. Zhang Bufan turned around and went back to the kitchen and brought out the remaining two dishes.
On the table outside, Tian Xiangxiang was already familiar with the two bottles of Xiao Er from the cash register, and the big bald head had one bottle per person, and was walking the first one.
Tian Xiangzhuang smiled at the bald head and said: "Come, let me introduce you, this kid's name is Zhang Bufan, the owner and chef of this small restaurant, and he made the bean curd that you just praised for a long time." ”
"Huh?" The bald head was stunned, and instead of greeting Zhang Bufan for the first time, he lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then said: "I remember that there is a screenwriter, who is the screenwriter of "Bullfighting" and "Reunion", which seems to be also called by this name. ”
Tian Xiangzhuang smiled even more happily and said: "So you are too closed, you are not as good as an old man like me, don't you know, that screenwriter was originally a cook?"
Tian Zhuangzhi has said that this is the part, if you can't hear it, it will be abnormal.
The one immediately stood up, took the initiative to shake hands with Zhang Bufan, and said with a smile: "Hello Editor Zhang, I'm Qu Jiangtao, a director." ”
"Hello Channel. Zhang Bufan also shook hands with him warmly, and then sat down, he ate lunch, and he didn't rub Lao Tian's rice with chopsticks, just chatted with them.
Tian Xiangzhuang smiled: "Speaking of which, you can be regarded as going abroad to give our country a long face." ”
pointed at Zhang Bufan, "You know that he wrote the screenwriter for "Reunion", and you should also know that "Reunion" took the Berlin Silver Bear, right?"
"He, for a documentary, won the Oscar for Best Documentary Short Film." ”
"Yo!" Zhang Bufan was a little surprised, to be honest, although his Berlin Silver Bear is also very powerful, but in fact, the three major European film festivals have always attached more importance to Chinese filmmakers, and Chinese films have also won many awards in the three major European films.
But the Oscars are different, Hollywood is an extremely xenophobic film circle, and the Oscars are an equally exclusive award, there are very few Chinese filmmakers who can be recognized by the Oscars, among the directors, the national teacher and Chen Kaige have been nominated, but only Li Yu has really won the Oscar, and other aspects are even worse.
Therefore, when you know that this person has actually won an Oscar, even though it is only a documentary, it is surprising and respectful enough.
And Qu Jiangtao's attitude towards Zhang Bufan is also very respectful, he has always made documentaries before, and it was not until this year that he made his first movie, so he naturally lowered his profile a little for Zhang Bufan to "make movies" and win awards.
This is the norm in the circle, and it can be regarded as a link in the chain of contempt, and it seems that making movies is naturally a higher level than making documentaries.
Tian went on to say, "Jiang Tao has been making documentaries before, but this year I made a movie, and I was fortunate to be the producer and producer of this film. ”
Over there, Qu Jiangtao waved his hand again and again, and said, "It's because I'm fortunate to invite Mr. Tian to join my movie." ”
Tian Zhuangzhuang smiled: "That's because your movie is really good, that is, others don't know, otherwise there must be a bunch of people rushing to be the producer and producer of this one." ”
Then he turned to Zhang Bufan and explained: "We are going to talk about this movie today. ”
Looking at Zhang Bufan's stunned appearance, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't think about it, it has nothing to do with you, the movie has been made, and now it's in the post-production." ”
