Chapter 445 Candidate Question
Cheng Siyuan and Zheng Xiujing stayed in Saint-Emilion for a week, and not only visited Wei Zhiqiang's and their family's Canon Gavli winery.
He also visited a number of other historic wine estates in the vicinity under the guidance of Wei Zhiqiang.
What impressed Cheng Siyuan the most was the winemaking process at ChΓ’teau Cabriel Canon.
Neither Cheng Siyuan nor Zheng Xiujing thought that a small bottle of wine would have to go through so many processes from where the grapes were grown to the finished product.
First of all, you have to select, the grapes after the harvest sometimes carry the leaves and the grapes that are not ripe or rotten, especially in bad years, and the more serious wineries will do the selection before winemaking. All the famous wines that produce the best wines will carefully select the best grapes one by one.
Then destem, the tannins in the grape peduncle are more astringent, and the incomplete ripening often has a pungent grass smell, which must be removed in whole or in part.
Skin breaking is a very important step, because the grape skin contains important components such as tannins, red pigment and aromatic substances, so before fermentation, especially in red wines, the grape pulp must be squeezed out of the skin and the must to allow the must to come into contact with the grape skin in order to dissolve these substances into the wine.
The skin must be broken to a moderate extent to avoid the release of oil and poor tannins from the stems and seeds, which could affect the quality of the wine.
There are many processes, such as low-temperature soaking before fermentation, and then alcohol fermentation, and fermentation also needs to choose different fermentation methods according to different tastes and varieties.
Of course, the wine is not finished in oak barrels, and every few months the wine stored in the barrel must be transferred to another clean barrel to remove sediment from the bottom of the barrel, a process that also exposes the wine to the air slightly to avoid unpleasant reducing odours.
Anyway, Cheng Shiyuan and Zheng Xiujing visited and found that winemaking is indeed an art.
Like Chinese baijiu, the brewing process is full of the wisdom of its predecessors.
β¦β¦
At the Modu Airport, Cheng Shiyuan and Zheng Xiujing walked out of the VIP passage of the airport with their suitcases.
Wei Zhiqiang and Zhai Jiaxin will still be in Saint-Emilon for a while, and they will not return until this year's new wine is almost ready.
Cheng Siyuan and Zheng Xiujing originally planned to stay in St. Emilon for a while.
However, Zhang Zilin's calls came one after another, urging Cheng Shiyuan to come back quickly.
is in such a hurry to find Cheng Shiyuan, not only because Cheng Shiyuan has something, but Zheng Xiujing also has something to finalize.
The main reason for urging Siyuan is that the movie planned by Tangren Entertainment Company has been prepared some time ago, and Cheng Shiyuan needs to come back to solve some problems.
As for Zheng Xiujing, because of a show, Song Qian has returned to China to participate in a variety show, and Tangren Entertainment Company has also discussed with the program team of that variety show, and Zheng Xiujing will also participate.
β¦β¦
"You can be regarded as coming back, if you don't come back, it is estimated that Sister Cai will let me go to St. Emilon to find you back. β
Zhang Zilin saw Cheng Shiyuan return to the company, and her first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief.
There's no way, she can't stand Cai Yirong running to her in three days, and she directly looks at her with resentful eyes, asking her to call Cheng Shiyuan back quickly.
Cheng Shiyuan shrugged.
"Movie preparations completed?"
"Well, the preparations have been completed, but as you know in terms of actors, it will take a while, and this is the cast that has been decided. β
Zhang Zilin handed Cheng Siyuan a list.
Cheng Siyuan looked at it.
He himself will play Hua Manlou in the movie, but Lu Xiaofeng has not yet decided.
Cheng Siyuan had already told Huang Bo before that he would play a role in the movie, and it was not an ordinary cameo, but one of the main roles in the Eight Classics.
As for the other characters, more than a dozen have been confirmed, and Cheng Siyuan knew at a glance that these people were all star artists under Tangren Entertainment Company.
After Cheng Siyuan saw the list, he frowned.
Zhang Zilin had been observing Cheng Siyuan's expression, and also found that Cheng Shiyuan seemed to be a little dissatisfied.
"Not satisfied with the list?"
"These seem to be our company's artists, right?"
"Well, most of them are artists in our company, and as you know, the company finally has a big production, and of course you have to take care of the rest of the company. β
Cheng Shiyuan understands what Zhang Zilin means, but he will understand, but he will not support it.
"If that's the case, I still need to think about this movie. β
Hearing Cheng Siyuan say this, Zhang Zilin knew that Cheng Siyuan didn't agree with this list.
"You wait a minute, I'll call Sister Cai over, and we'll discuss it later. β
Zhang Zilin made a phone call to Cai Yirong.
Cai Yirong's office is not far away, and it takes a few minutes to get to Zhang Zilin.
"Origin, you are back, Zilin and I are eager to wear it. β
After Cai Yirong arrived, Zhang Zilin nodded towards Cheng Shiyuan.
"Sister Cai, just now Zilin showed me the list of actors that our company has determined for this movie, and I don't agree with the company's approach. β
Cai Yirong was not too surprised, as the CEO of Tangren Entertainment Company, these things did not make her look disgraced.
"Sister Cai, I remember that our company wants to use this movie to completely open up the film market, since we have decided to do so, we can't be so-so. If you want to support our company's artists, there are other opportunities, if it is really suitable for our movie, of course I won't say anything, those who simply want to brush up on popularity, I think it's better not to do it this time. β
Cheng Shiyuan didn't mean to be tactful, and he wasn't afraid of offending those people in the company.
He is not the same as when he first joined the company, if Cheng Shiyuan reveals that he wants to change brokerage companies now, it is estimated that the threshold of his family will be trampled.
Cheng Shiyuan is now in the eyes of the brokerage company, he is a cash cow.
Of course, Cai Yirong will not be stupid enough to push Cheng Shiyuan outward, to put it bluntly, Cheng Shiyuan is now the first brother of Tangren Entertainment Company, and he is the person who carries the banner of Tangren Entertainment Company.
"Siyuan, what you said makes sense, but you also have to consider my position, you know, other artists in our company know that all the energy of our company this year will be focused on this movie, and I also have to take into account other people's ideas. Moreover, these are just small characters......"
Cheng Shiyuan had long guessed that Cai Yirong would say this.
"Sister Cai, don't ignore these small roles, the reputation of a movie is not only a matter of the starring role, some small roles are also very important, I don't veto them all, if they really have the strength, of course, the people of our company are preferred. β
