It was still a little cold and too cold when I was greeting outside the station just now, and this will be a real break in the reception room.

The servants of the manor took away everyone's thick coats, and reminded them that it would not be rude to wear a woolen sweater to dinner later, because Zhang Nan was wearing a woolen sweater with a pattern.

The popular woven woolen sweater in the 90s, how to wear it and who to wear it, you must know that the Taobao seller show and the buyer show are the best contrast, and Brother Qiang's yellow jacket of the same style is not something that anyone can support.

After resting for about 20 minutes, Tom, the first housekeeper in the manor, came to inform the restaurant that it was ready, and Zhang Nan invited everyone to dine together.

got up to change places, and as soon as they entered the restaurant with exaggerated height and space, everyone in the crew saw that the banquet was in a Western-style layout, with two long rows of dining tables covered with embroidered tablecloths, and the tableware was a combination of Chinese and Western.

These will not cause trouble to the crew members, everyone will eat Western food, and people in Beijing like to go to Lao Mo decades ago, not to mention that Western restaurants are not particularly unusual in Sijiu City over the years.

Western food is a small meaning, the interesting thing is the decoration of the restaurant, there are some Western oil paintings hanging on the walls around it, and there are already guys who know how to paint are shocked by these decorations - if they are all genuine, the value of this restaurant alone is sky-high!

There is another problem: I have eaten all the meals, but no one has experience in such a pomp, and it will be difficult for everyone to sit alone.

The seats can't be disordered, this rule is the same at home and abroad.

What to do?

Fortunately, there were servants in formal dresses to guide Zheng Xiaoming, Feng Xiaogang and others to their positions, and ordinary crew members also had several bodyguards to guide them.

When everyone is seated, everyone can see this meeting: the host has a specific position with the directors and important actors, and the others are basically free combinations.

No one has an opinion, when there are dozens of people eating in China, the rule is basically that the main table cannot be disorderly seated, and the other tables can be combined at will.

Zhang Nan said two sentences of pre-dinner nonsense, and this was served.

Fruit juice, Chinese Moutai, Huiji plus rice, and French red wine are all optional, Zhang Nan said that his side is a combination of various cultures, and everyone can be casual.

said it was casual, but no one would let go of it, especially the few guys in the crew who were already good at this bite kept telling themselves that they must control and control again!

If Moutai can drink a bottle, then two people will have a bottle, and a bottle of fashionable red wine will drink at most two-thirds, and Ah Chun and Yan Xiaoping chose white wine when the servant asked them what kind of wine they used, and whispered to Ma Xiaoqing, who was sitting on the side, to try this slightly golden wine too.

The wine was poured and the servants retreated, Ma Xiaoqing, who was persuaded to eat well, looked at Ah Chun's eyes with a hint of inquiry, Ah Chun leaned over slightly, and whispered: "I have only seen this wine once, it is the gold of the first winery in France, a bottle costs thousands of dollars, and there is often money that can't buy it." ”

It's not that you haven't seen money, but you haven't seen a bottle of wine for thousands of dollars!

Serving, meal system, it's almost the New Year, two huge roast turkeys are pushed over, and if you need to signal, someone will naturally come over with a few slices.

This is the American element.

One serving of foie gras per person, the first dish, I talked about Jiang Wen's French girlfriend when chatting before, this fat liver is obviously a French element, and now it is said at the dinner table.

Jiang Wen obviously has a little research on fatty liver, and praised this dish twice, saying that this foie gras is really good.

Jiang Wen, who was sitting next to Zhang Nan, joked: "It seems that you are the same as me, and you have been deceived."

This is not foie gras at all, the French side likes to call it fatty liver, and even the vast majority of people in the United States still think it is all foie gras.

In fact, ninety out of five fatty livers are all duck livers, unless it is a French chef who has studied this very well, otherwise it is impossible to distinguish it.

Last time, I had a chef who went to the farm where the supplier was docking, and it turned out that there was not a single goose in it, it was all ducks..."

Duck liver is duck liver, anyway, you can't eat more, the fat content is too high.

This is the United States, and the way of serving food does not follow the rules of the French meal, not one dish after another, but every other section.

The main dish is steak, not the little devil's Wagyu beef or France's top imported beef, Zhang Nan made the following introduction: "This is my own cattle in a ranch in Montana, the original ecology is pollution-free, the feed is not much, and it grows up eating grass."

The beef level is not particularly high, and there is no expectation that raising cattle will make money, and a lot of it is self-digesting. ”

Zhang Nan raises cattle?

Many people find it strange.

Zhang Nan stuffed a small piece into his mouth, chewed and swallowed it, and said: "It's a loophole in the law, the land over there is vast and sparsely populated, and I use it as a hunting ground and a training base for security companies."

Anyway, the place is big enough, so that the cowboys who were already over there can raise some cattle and still offset the property tax..."

An ordinary French-style dinner with a dessert is almost the same, but if there are three dishes in Zhang Nan's restaurant, who can you send away!

There must be grilled fish, which the people in the manor drive fishing boats to catch in the bay, and there must be stewed pigeons in traditional Chinese medicine, otherwise there will be no soup at all...

American, French, and Chinese cuisine are all in one, and everyone is used to eating, and Ah Chun and the others have noticed that when eating stewed pigeon, Adjani uses chopsticks.

Nothing particularly expensive, the habit of the manor, the best home-made things!

Wagyu beef for steak?

The owner didn't like it!

Bluefin tuna?

How many of these are used to eating?

Forget it, there are a lot of ordinary ingredients in the New World, and it seems that there are really no special cherishes, at least not for Zhang Nan, why not let Canada and Montana send some bear paws and game?

It's too late, and besides, Zhang Nan doesn't eat bear paws, not because of animal protectionism, he simply thinks that that thing is the same kind of thing as pig's trotters, nothing special.

Half-eaten and drunk, no matter how good the wine is, this time the person did not drink to the fullest, and someone took the rest of the crew to visit a few more interesting places in the house.

As for Zheng Xiaolong, Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen, they went to Zhang Nan's study again.

After a while, Zhang Nan heard the taste from Zheng Xiaolong's words, and said very clearly: "I'm just helping, you can solve any logistical problems with the actors..."

Several people were relieved.

casually chatted about the development of Chinese films, Zhang Nan has his own opinions: "Ten years, I think that in at least ten years, the film industry in China will be a teacup, piracy is rampant, the attractiveness of movie theaters will collapse, and the vast majority of people's lives will not be as stable as ten years ago, they have no time and no heart to go to the cinema, and they will basically be at the level of making something and losing something."

If you want to establish a theater system like North America, there is a long way to go, but TV dramas will become more and more popular.

This year, I originally wanted to shoot a costume drama in Huaxia recently and invest tens of millions of dollars to play, but now I think it's better to hide it for a few years.

Otherwise, there is no box office in China, and the problem of foreign cultural differences is temporarily unacceptable, and we can't be stupid to do what we are sure to lose money. ”

As soon as Feng Xiaogang asked what the subject was, Zhang Nan only said that it was related to the Qin Dynasty, and sighed by the way: "When making movies with ancient Chinese backgrounds, my favorite theme let the little devils take the lead, their own adaptation."

It's a pity, if I start now, I guess it will be better.

For example, if we Jiang Wen are the protagonists, it is estimated that it will be even better. ”

Zhang Nan is not without pity, other people will know which one it is as soon as their brains turn: "Dunhuang"!

Absolute classics, most of the story is fiction, a large group of actors - I have also received the support of the Chinese military, although the actors' acting skills have a little devil taste, but I have to say that the shooting is really good!

Don't talk about it now, even if you watch it thirty years after the movie is released, it will be a good movie!

Zhang Nan was a little annoyed, if he changed his brain, coupled with sufficient funds, he should be able to make a classic.

It's a pity that the little devil filmed it four or five years ago, and Huaxia said that it was a co-production, but in fact, it provided logistics.

What a good story, why did you shoot it?

complained and waited for the rest of the crew to finish visiting, Zhang Nan also ended the conversation with Feng Xiaogang and others, and sent everyone away.

This trip does not take a yacht, change to a bus, and go back to the hotel to rest sooner.
