Chapter 594: Rich Five Generations
March 5th.
The total box office of the film "Beijing Love Story" directed by Cheng Sicheng exceeded 400 million yuan, and the investor held a unique celebration banquet for the crew of "Northern Love" in Shaojing City.
Lin Xiaoguang, one of the film's producers, was also invited to attend the banquet and was interviewed by media reporters before the banquet began.
As for the outside world, because the box office of Stephen Chow's new movie "Journey to the West" has exceeded 1 billion yuan, and predicting that "People in Embarrassment: Thailand" will become "the shortest-lived box office record film in history", Lin Xiaoguang said indifferently: "I have long expected that this is a good thing." ”
It turned out that as of the afternoon of March 5, the box office of Stephen Chow's "Journey to the West" had exceeded 1.05 billion yuan, only one step away from the box office record of 1.08 billion yuan created by "People in Embarrassment".
The good box office has also postponed the offline date of "Journey to the West", which has been postponed to April 10, so industry insiders predict that it is basically a foregone conclusion that the box office of "Journey to the West" will surpass "Thai Embarrassment".
When the reporter mentioned this matter, Lin Xiaoguang said with a smile: "I believe that even if it is not for "Journey to the West", the record of "Thai Embarrassment" will soon be broken, because our Chinese film market has entered a new stage. ”
And this time, the box office of "Beijing Love Story" exceeded 400 million, and Lin Xiaoguang, as an investor in this movie, naturally made a lot of profits.
Lin Xiaoguang also confessed to reporters that he has not yet received the money: "In fact, the money is a long story, because all the box office profits made by the movie at the end are calculated, and then this and that are deducted." ”
"In short, the movie hasn't been released yet, and it's not yet time to settle. However, because we have a contract between us, and there are so many media friends who testify to me, Sicheng just wants to run, and he can't run away, right?"
Lin Xiaoguang's words made the reporters at the scene laugh.
On the other hand, "People in Embarrassment: Thailand" had unlimited scenery in last year's Chinese New Year file, which also made many people in the circle blush.
Xiao Dingyi, who has invested in the 3D erotic film "All the Way West", recently announced that he would spend 15 million yuan to start filming "All the Way West 2: Taixi" in Thailand, telling the story of Hong Kong men going to Thailand to find fun.
In this regard, Lin Xiaoguang was silent for a while, and Fang said: "The value orientation of "Thai Embarrassment" is 'embarrassment', and people are ...... I think in terms of content, that would be a good name, and I don't have any problem with that. ”
March 6th.
Lin Xiaoguang went to Xinzhou to cut the ribbon for Xu Zheng's newly opened "True Stove Craftsman Cuisine" at the Huanglong Hotel.
Because Lin Xiaoguang and Xu Zheng appeared at the same time, Xu Zheng's "real stove craftsman cuisine" was instantly surrounded by water.
In order to deal with these admiring passers-by, Lin Xiaoguang and Xu Zheng also symbolically cooperated with them to take a group photo, so they were able to get out.
When it comes to opening a store, Lin Xiaoguang sometimes admires Xu Zheng very much, feeling that he can do any business and almost make money.
For example, this Zhenzhi located in the Huanglong Hotel is already the second branch opened by Xu Zheng.
In other words, this shop continues the tradition of Shanghai, the vertical stove in the middle of the bar is the soul of the traditional Japanese stove barayaki, the charcoal used for barbecue must be 8 feet long charcoal, open at night, and you have to start "raising charcoal" at noon every day.
And the chief chef Inoue Yoichi used to be the chief chef of 38 restaurants in Japan, good at grilled food and sushi, and it was Xu Zheng who spent a lot of money to invite Inoue Yoichi from Japan to China.
Perhaps it is the so-called artisan art, Inoue uses his 36 years of experience in the industry to watch every handful of charcoal fires that the master cooks, bringing his unique and traditional hearth dishes.
After besieging the crowd, Lin Xiaoguang walked around the store and asked with great interest, "Lao Xu, where did you get all the ingredients here?"
Xu Zheng thought for a while, and said: "The ingredients in my store are all super fresh imported seafood from Hokkaido, Nagasaki, Kyushu or Okinawa, and shipped to Hangzhou via Shanghai, so guests who come to our store to eat food must make an appointment in advance to ensure the freshness of the ingredients." ”
Hearing Xu Zheng say this, Lin Xiaoguang felt a little hungry, so he smiled and said, "Okay, old Xu, don't hang my appetite, I'll ask you a word, when can you eat?"
Xu Zheng thought for a while, and then hurriedly said: "Now Mr. Inoue is raising charcoal, and the ingredients have not yet arrived in Xinzhou, if you want to eat, you will have to wait until 6 pm at the latest." ”
It turned out that it was only around 2 p.m. every day that the staff began to process the fresh arrival of the day's sashimi to prepare for dinner.
Depending on the season, the ingredients also change, but Xu Zheng's store in Shanghai always insists on using the best quality ingredients, and if there is no best quality on the day, it is better not to eat than to settle for the second.
Charcoal-grilled Jinji fish, charcoal-grilled avocado, and chicken burger are Xu Zheng's favorite dishes, and they are also a must-order every time he visits the restaurant.
But it's a pity that Lin Xiaoguang hasn't had a chance to taste these delicacies that Xu Zheng must order now.
Lin Xiaoguang was stupid when he heard this, and said angrily and funny: "Lao Xu, what are you teasing me, it's only 1 o'clock now, I'm almost starving to death, you let me wait here for five hours?"
Xu Zheng said unhurriedly: "Of course not, I'll take you to eat a delicious meal now." ”
Lin Xiaoguang was interested, and couldn't wait to ask, "What delicious food do you want to take me to eat?"
Xu Zheng said quietly: "Since you are here in Hangzhou, how can you not eat shrimp and eel noodles?"
Lin Xiaoguang said angrily: "I came from Shaojing so far, you invite me to eat noodles?"
Xu Zheng nodded: "Well, this is the famous restaurant Kuiyuan Pavilion in Xinzhou, which is used to entertain Cai Tingkai, Jiang Jingguo, Mei Lanfang, and Zhu Kezhen's signature dishes." ”
Hearing Xu Zheng's words, Lin Xiaoguang patted Xu Zheng on the back, and urged with a smile: "Then what are you waiting for, let's hurry up!"
If you have been to Xinzhou stalls, you know that almost every noodle restaurant in Xinzhou has shrimp and eel noodles, but there are very few that are done well, Xu Zheng has tried some shrimp and eel noodles from famous restaurants before, but they are not satisfactory.
Either the tasteless frozen shrimp is used, or the eel is fried in the wrong heat, and some even use the eel head to fill the number.
However, Xu Zheng was circled by the shrimp and eel half soup of a noodle restaurant.
The so-called half soup is not shrimp fried eel noodles with only half soup.
The method of shrimp fried eel toppings is much the same, but after stir-frying, it is not the original pot to cook the noodles, but the fried noodles.
The alkaline noodles are cooked in cold water in advance, drained and stir-fried with the marinade of the fried eel, soaked in the peculiar fragrance of the eel, and chewed dry and chewy.
Not long after, after arriving at the noodle shop Xu Zheng said, I don't know if it was because I was too hungry, or if the shrimp and eel noodles in this store were really delicious, Lin Xiaoguang ate two bowls in one go.
Seeing that Lin Xiaoguang was still full after eating, he still had an unfinished expression, Xu Zheng said triumphantly: "How about Xiaoguang, the shrimp and eel noodles in this store taste very good, right?"
Lin Xiaoguang held a toothpick in his mouth, touched his stomach, and nodded with satisfaction: "It tastes really good, but it's a little overwhelmed, and I feel that my stomach is very swollen." ”
In order to eat more comfortably, Xu Zheng took off his glasses, rested them on the table, and joked to Lin Xiaoguang with a smile: "Who let you eat so much, like a hungry wolf reincarnated, look at me, I haven't finished a bowl yet." “
Looking at Xu Zheng eating noodles slowly in front of his eyes, Lin Xiaoguang asked suspiciously: "Old Xu, aren't you from Shanghai?
Xu Zheng said while eating: "My mother...... She is from Xinzhou, and I spent a while with my grandfather when I was a child. ”
It turned out that although Xu Zheng was not from Hangzhou, his grandfather once owned the Hangzhou waterworks and power plant, and his grandfather Zhang Shoubao was a disciple of Wu Changshuo and Huang Binhong, and an early member of the Hangzhou Xiling Seal Society.
And the reason why Xu Zheng knows Hangzhou so well is that his grandfather must have told him about the past of Qiantang.
In the past, Lin Xiaoguang still wondered, he was also an actor, why Xu Zheng had such a strong urban middle-class atmosphere, it turned out that he was not acting at all, it was pure and natural.
And Xu Zheng was born in the "concession" old house at the junction of Changshu Road and Anfu Road in Shanghai, which is definitely not old and dilapidated, because this house belonged to Yu Dafu's brother Yu Hua before, and then belonged to the Republic of China movie star Gao Zhanfei.
Although they have known each other for so many years, Xu Zheng still talked to Lin Xiaoguang about his childhood memories for the first time.
"Lao Xu, yes, it's really deep enough, I used to think you were ......" Lin Xiaoguang wanted to speak and stopped.
Xu Zheng wiped his mouth with a tissue, and asked curiously, "Why do you think I am?"
Lin Xiaoguang paused, and said with a smile: "I always thought that you were a rich generation who made a fortune by acting, because people are too fine, so they are bald, I only learned today that you turned out to be the same as Huang Sicong, a rich second generation who is a serious child, no, you are a rich fifth generation who has suffered thousands of knives, which is even more disgusting than Huang Sicong!"
