The same is the seaside, the warmth and humidity of Zhucheng and Haicheng are completely different, Haicheng is colder, the wind is whistling outside the car, with the unique boldness and uninhibited nature of the north, Chi Chi silently looked out of the window, obviously, although she has devoted herself to work, this year has not passed for more people, and the children who are playing on the side of the road still have the joy of playing freely during the holiday.

The car stopped at the door of a small yard with an old tree, now bare, with only a few dead leaves hanging on it.

"My grandfather, my sister and I were all cooks. ”

When he took Chi Chi Chi into the courtyard, the man said this to her.

"'The Phoenix Kitchen' is a story that my grandfather heard when he was a child, and my wife loved it so much that she wanted to make it into a movie. ”

He said lightly, in the same tone as "We bought good seafood today, put some chili peppers and stir-fry it", obviously not thinking that making movies is a big deal.

Well, think about his wealthy wife and sister who is calling for wind and rain in the culinary world, whether it is financial or personality, they really don't take this matter as a big deal.

"My sister, you've probably seen it. ”

When talking about his wife and sister, the smile on this man's face is extraordinarily soft.

Chi Chi had already realized that the amazing woman who made her a delicious meal in Shanghai last time was probably the man's sister.

The genes of this family are really good.

The courtyard looks quaint from the outside, but inside it is extremely comfortable, the concrete road embedded in the cobblestones is unusually smooth, the drainage canal is cleverly designed and compact, the doorways of each room have been modified without barriers, and the layout of the grape trellises and flowers does not affect the passage of people at all......

Chi Chi knew at a glance that the whole house was individually modified and designed for the old man who was not in good health.

When the tall and thin girl walked into the room, Fang Shiyi's glasses had not been put back on, she could only see that the other party was wearing a black down jacket, and her complexion was a very healthy wheat color.

Several old men greeted her with a smile: "Eat first, talk while eating." ”

Two middle-aged men, one holding a bamboo basket of washed vegetables, and the other holding a large plate of thin handmade noodles, saw that the man who had gone to pick up Chi Chi Chi was back, and immediately dragged him to make shrimp slippery.

Leaving Chi Chi standing alone at the door, he was directly greeted by a spirited old man and sat down next to him, and Wei Yu was separated by a position.

"The little girl is hungry, right? The court said that you can eat spicy, then we just don't make a clear soup pot, the hot pot is still a little simple, they just don't let us make it ourselves." ”

"This is the Chinese New Year, and the younger generation wants to be filial, so how normal it is not to let you into the kitchen. ”

"Is it normal for me to say it? I said that eating hot pot is simple in the end, we are hospitality, and the best hospitality is eight dishes, eight lamps, eight plates, eight bowls, and then there is a carp leaping dragon gate will be Ziyun, which is called three or three seats. Today's young people are really lazy, and the first time a guest comes to the door, let people eat hot pot, is there a reason to let the guests do it themselves?"

"It's still three or three seats, you didn't wait for half of it to be carried out of the kitchen by Xiao Xi. ”

As soon as the words "carry it out" came out, the old man who was fierce and disgusted with hot pot suddenly quieted down.

The old man who hadn't spoken much seemed to be the oldest, and when he heard the word "Xiaoxi", he finally spoke: "Is Xiaoxi coming back today?"

"If you don't come back, on the fifteenth day of the first month, the gluttonous building will do an international food exchange festival, and she has to deal with that wave of foreigners. ”

"Oh......" The old man didn't speak again, and ate slowly with his chopsticks in front of him with boiled peanuts and celery, the hot pot dipping sauce in his bowl was a raw egg beaten in a bowl, and a small plate of soy sauce next to it.

The three old grandfathers didn't care if this little girl was a big star or not, and while bickering and gossiping, they asked Chi Chi to eat some cold dishes such as cabbage heart mixed with jellyfish skin, pig's trotters jelly, and green onion mixed with eight belts.

"Pad the mat first, and the pot will roll up soon!"

I didn't feel hungry, but I looked at the cold cuts on the side of the big table, the cut beef and mutton, the goose intestines hanging on the shelf, the red meatballs, and the white pork and yellow-throated beef breast oil...... And those fresh seafood counted in pots, Chi Chi swallowed silently.

Chafing dish...... It's not like I haven't eaten it...... It's just that I haven't eaten it for a long time, so it looks extraordinarily tempting!

Chi Chi swallowed his saliva quietly at the hot pot, and some people also swallowed saliva silently after seeing her.

It's not because of gluttony, it's just surprise, that person is Wei Yu.

As an experienced screenwriter, Wei Yue has cooperated with many crews, and has also seen a lot of employers, although Chi Chi has few works now, but the popularity is high, a few days ago his daughter-in-law was still at home and said that this little girl who had just become a movie queen was really likable - but after watching an interview, his favorability towards others increased greatly, Wei Yu was also very helpless about his daughter-in-law, he had been in the circle for a long time, and no matter how good the skin was, there might be cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, which Wei Yu also deeply understood - such an actor In Wei Yu's opinion, for " Feng Kitchen" is too cost-effective.

He always thought that "Feng Kitchen" was a small-budget family movie, and this positioning was his conscience for investors, after all, these people were not crazy, and they still had a good impression of him. Of course, this is also related to his brother's friendship with the family for more than 20 years. In his opinion, if a layman's company wants to insert a foot in the entertainment industry, it is better to have a smaller step and less investment, and it is better to make a decent film.

But the management actually invited Chi Chi to play Wenxin (Chen Fengchu), which is obviously different from what he thought was "steady and steady".

Before Wei Yu could politely express his surprise and welcome to Chi's late arrival, Fang Shiyi, who had put on his glasses, let out a scream.

"Whew!!Chi Chi!!It's Chi Chi!I can't believe it, oh my God!!"

The three men who were preparing the hot pot ingredients were frightened by the screams, and rushed into the dining room from the kitchen, only to see Fang Shiyi already standing in front of Chi Chi past the three old men.

"Oh my God, oh my God, I can't breathe, I love your exquisite!!!"

Screenwriter Fang was so excited that his hands were shaking.

Chi Chi quickly stood up, heard her say that she couldn't breathe, and patted her on the back, the girl has already seen a lot of people who like her, in the airport, on the road, in the elevator...... It's really the first time that someone looks at it with such hot eyes when I'm about to eat hot pot.

If this kind of look were to heat the hot pot, the pot would definitely be boiling now.

In fact, this kind of look is the normal state for ordinary people to see stars, but the people in this yard seem to care more about those delicious foods, and in front of good food, everyone is equal.

The saliva of celebrities is not gold.

"The pot is boiling, eat the meat and eat the meat!"

The three old men ate hot pot with great interest, and Chi Chi smelled the meat and tried his best to appease this somewhat excited newcomer screenwriter.

She felt a little bitter at this moment.

"I really didn't expect to ask you to act, I told my friends a few days ago that if I could let you play Chen Fengchu, I wouldn't need money, I was going to break my heart when I saw Linglong die, how could you be so good at acting! God, God, I'm too excited, I'm sorry, I really ......."

Chi Chi can fully understand that this girl may not like herself that much, but she definitely likes her own work, and probably everyone who uses words to construct the world wants to get better treatment for their work - reliable actors are definitely the most important part of it.

When Fang Shiyi calmed down, the entire dining table officially entered the link of "chatting while eating".

"There is a line in the original book that goes like this, Wen Xin followed Guan Jin'an to see what the outside world was like, you must know that the time set in our script is the end of the Qing Dynasty, and the rampant foreigners and people's suffering are the parts I originally wanted to express. Later, after Wen Xin became 'Chen Fengchu', she saw the sorrow of women more clearly as a man, so she made the choice in the original book at the end. But screenwriter Wei thinks that this line is not likable, especially not suitable for the target audience of the movie, and he thinks that the movie "Feng Kitchen" should be a family-style movie, with delicious food, and the struggle history of the heroine Wenxin, and finally Wenxin harvested his career and love is enough. His current script plan is to cut this line in its entirety. ”

Fang Shiyi said it very pertinently, and did not deliberately elevate himself and belittle others because of the disagreement between him and Wei Yu on the script, so that Chi Chi had a good impression of her.

After saying his opinion, Fang Shiyi lowered his head and ate a piece of tender beef, the hand-cut beef that had just been rolled with a layer of egg liquid in front of the pot was extremely tender, and when he bit into it, he could see that it still maintained a pale pink texture.

The old man sitting next to Chi Chi fished out a shrimp ball and put it in her bowl.

"The shrimp made by my grandson is slippery, and outsiders can't eat it with money......

Chi Chi was so hungry that he couldn't pull it off the plate.

"What I'm going to say, Eleven has already said it for me, in fact, the real difference between this is not my attitude with her on this script, so I am very supportive of her finding you to ask for discussion. ”

Taking a sip of tea to dilute the spicy taste in his mouth, Wei Yu forced himself not to taste the wonderful taste of the little octopus anymore.

"Essentially, this is a question of the cost of film investment, when Ms. Su came to me, she told me that she planned to invest 20 million, 20 million is a small splash for the rapidly expanding film industry, since Ms. Su trusts me, then I must also be worthy of the person who pays for it. Whether Chen Fengchu restores Wenxin's identity in the end, or continues to be her Chen Fengchu, is directly related to the cost and purpose of our filmmaking. If the cost is 20 million, the current script is enough, and we want to ensure the overall quality of this movie. If we want to respect Eleven's original work, the cost must increase, and we have to increase the sense of the times and the macro world structure of the entire movie, which all cost money...... Even the level of directors has higher requirements...... Well, it's still a matter of money......"

Wei Yu sighed, all questions about movies are essentially money problems, whether the person who holds the money is smart, whether the person who is responsible for spending money is upright, whether the person who plans to spend money is professional, and whether the person who spends money is cost-effective...... It's all money.

As soon as the colander in the old man's hand flipped over Chi Chi's plate, the goose intestines with just the right heat obediently slid in front of Chi Chi.

"Hehe, it's not bad for a second, can you taste it!"

It's fragrant, crispy, and refreshing!

Chewing goose intestines, Chi Chi's eyes are full of gold stars, it is definitely not an illusion, today's hot pot is unusually delicious!

"Grandpa, how do you think it should be better?"

"How do you shoot it?"

The old man who had been feeding Chi Chi snorted.

"How to shoot and how to shoot, just like cooking, or not to do it, to do it, you have to make fresh materials, exquisite kung fu, to be a cook, the taste is right, the same is true for filming, what it should be is what taste, if the money is not enough, I will go out and make money by myself!"

The old man's eyes were wide, full of momentum, and after staring, he fished out two Jiwei shrimp for Chi Chi.

"Why is the little girl so thin, it's not like a thin cook to play a ......"

The man in charge of picking up Chi Chi shook his head with a smile, first cast a sympathetic look at Chi Chi, and then said to Wei Yu:

"Money is not an issue, we are more concerned about time, after all, Miss Chi's time is limited, and those food consultants also said hello early to deliberately free up time......"

The man obviously didn't know much about the filming of the movie, but the questions he asked were very practical, and his tone was gentle and calm, without any impetuousness.

Wei Yue can answer what he can, and leave it to the follow-up discussion and estimation if he can't answer it, and talk while eating, and the atmosphere has been maintained very well.

After eating a meal, Chi Chi, who had been immersed in hard work, also figured out the direction of the revision of the entire script.

Wen Xin, or Chen Fengchu, has changed from career progress to mental awakening and choice...... That script was originally a story about a woman disguised as a man to save her lover, but now it's ...... has become Liang Zhu in another sense, not for death, but for life and death, from the perspective of "love", it has become a tragedy, and from the perspective of Chen Fengchu, who is the heroine, it is to seek another kind of fulfillment in life.

"For something that must be pursued, one has to give up something. ”

Fang Shiyi said the core idea of the ending of this story.

These words made Chi Chi's heart hurt slightly, and then she was a little happy, she really got this script right.

"When I first took on the script, I was still a newcomer to film, with low worth and little experience...... But fortunately, I still made a little achievement last year, which gave me room to choose the script, before I knew Miss Fang Shiyi's thoughts, I felt that the highlight of the script of "Feng Kitchen" was in its genre, and now I think it makes me full of curiosity and imagination about the whole script...... I prefer the logic of the story that is not so emotional. ”

This is Chi Chi's own personal opinion.

Fang Shiyi applauded her happily, and his face turned red.
