Chapter 45 Cooking Wine Points
There was no way, Yang Lin had no choice but to take Chen Yulian and Wang Jing to find a place to drink.
For some reason, Yang Lin suddenly remembered Moutai in his previous life, so he proposed to find a place to drink liquor. It's hard for Wang Jing now, although this guy is a native of "Aberdeen", he basically has no experience in drinking liquor. I went to a few food stalls, Chinese restaurants and the like, but they were either none, or they were full.
I finally found a hot pot restaurant called "Manjianghong", which sells Moutai liquor, which is still 30 years old.
Wang Jing picked up the three-coin wine glass full of Moutai, took a shallow sip, chirped it, tasted it, and nodded: "It's a little spicy, but the aftertaste is quite good, it's okay." ”
Yang Lin shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying that the authentic inheritance of Chinese civilization is in Hong Kong and Taiwan, why has the liquor that has been accompanied by Chinese civilization since its own has become a "rare guest" here?
Yang Lin poured a full glass of wine for Zhong Chuhong beside Wang Jing: "Ladies drink liquor appropriately, invigorate blood and muscles, accelerate metabolism, and are good for skin and body." The "beauty" Wang Jing said is Zhong Chuhong.
Zhong Chuhong was recently in the crew of Wang Jing's "Frog Prince", making preparations before filming, and he was very busy. Because the relationship between the two is very good, Zhong Chuhong almost became Wang Jing's royal "big assistant", helping with all the messy work.
Next to Yang Lin are Chen Yulian and Guan Zhilin, Wang Jing, a slut, called Guan Zhilin out.
It is said that Chen Yulian is cold and beautiful, Guan Zhilin is charming and beautiful, and Yang Dacai hugs left and right, leaning on red and green, but he is not half excited and complacent, but he is sweating profusely and looking frightened. Just because Chen Yulian was in a bad mood, the already cold surname was even more taciturn and worried. Guan Zhilin originally heard Wang Jing say that Yang Lin had made an appointment and arrived happily, but it was strange to see Chen Yulian, a "third party", who was happy.
No, Yang Lin had just sandwiched the tender meat slices in the hot pot into Chen Yulian's bowl, and Guan Zhilin pouted. Yang Lin had no choice but to add seven-cooked greens to Guan Zhilin's bowl and wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Zhong Chuhong held back a smile, looked at Yang Lin who was in a hurry and sweating profusely with a pair of wonderful eyes, and had a drink with Wang Jing from time to time.
Yang Lin lamented, the blessing of Qi people doesn't seem to be so enjoyable, buddy doesn't have that level! glared at Wang Jing with some grievances, it was all caused by this thing! Obviously, Chen Yulian has already followed, why do you want to call Guan Zhilin? This fat man is obviously on purpose! The revenge is too heavy, isn't it just to beat you up a few?
Wang Jing is so happy, seeing Yang Lin deflated, he is in a very happy mood, saying that there are really not many opportunities like this.
When Guan Zhilin stretched out her jade hand and patted her flat lower abdomen, revealing a satisfied smile that was full of wine and food, Chen Yulian also poured a cup of tea with elegant manners, and Yang Lin finally let out a long breath. The creature stood up and stretched, sat down again, and shouted in the surprised eyes of everyone: "Go!" "The chopsticks are flying, and the wind is whirling.
All kinds of meat slices, green vegetables, spicy pig ears, husband and wife lung slices, garlic white meat, northern Sichuan jelly and other snacks, the price of running water generally enters Yang Lin's mouth. A mouthful of food in the right hand, a mouthful of wine in the left hand, the one that eats is called an earth-shattering, heaven and earth change color! It seems that the living Buddha of Jigong has reappeared in the world, and everyone who sees it is stunned.
When he was full, Yang Lin stopped. Tell the waiter to pour out the soup in the hot pot, replace it with water, and serve a few cold dishes again. Put half a bottle of Moutai inside, wait until the wine is lukewarm, take it out and fill it for everyone, and say: "The liquor should be drunk warm, so that you can taste the charm of it better, and it can also strengthen the spleen and stomach, and benefit the body and mind." ”
Zhong Chuhong drank quite well, took a sip lightly, and asked, "I heard Ah Jing say, you are going to become the director of TVB?" ”
Guan Zhilin's beautiful eyes lit up, staring at Yang Lin's delicate face with ripples. This person is really not simple, he became the director of TVB so quickly? You must know that TVB is definitely a behemoth in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, and being able to direct a TV series on TVB means that you already have the qualifications to read and direct in any film company in Xiangjiang, which is a height that countless people can't reach after struggling for half a lifetime.
Chen Yulian obviously heard about this for the first time, first she was slightly stunned, and then she was very happy for Yang Lin: "Alin, you are so amazing!" Do a good job, shoot a few good dramas, and stabilize the position first. "Yang Lin is so young, even if he is promoted to a first-line director now, I don't know how many people are unconvinced, waiting to see his jokes. As soon as a mistake is made, countless people will immediately fall into the well and pull him off the horse. Chen Yulian's surname is cold and has no quarrel with the world, but she just doesn't want to fight with others, it doesn't mean that she doesn't understand.
Yang Lin laughed, drank a glass of wine, and said arrogantly: "Sister Lian, don't worry, I have a number." Who is Yang Lin? A new generation of Hong Kong talents! Jin Lin is a thing in the pool, and it will turn into a dragon when it encounters a storm! "What Lao Tzu is waiting for is an opportunity, and he has been waiting for a long time. As long as the opportunity comes, it will let the world know that "super cheats" are by no means idle, and I, Yang Lin, am the god of the entertainment industry!
"Cut," Guan Zhilin blinked her big charming eyes, and her eyes flowed: "Before I became a director, I started blowing water." If there is really a day when you can't turn your eyes to the sky, no one will know you? ”
Yang Lin raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Even if no one recognizes you, can you still recognize Miss Guan?" Don't worry, as long as I have the opportunity, I will open a play for you and make you popular! Drink this cup as a witness! ”
Guan Zhilin raised her glass with a smile and Yang Lin. Among the people present, Wang Jing is already a well-known director, Zhong Chuhong and Chen Yulian have long been starry and popular all over Xiangjiang. She is the only one Guan Zhilin, who is not half red or not red, and she is not up or down. She knows that Yang Lin values friendship and morality, and once she achieves something, she will never ignore her friends. Whether Yang Lin can really make her popular or not, at least it is an opportunity.
"Full of atmosphere, I'm a well-known director in Xiangjiang, and I don't dare to say who is popular, why are you?" Wang Jing was not happy to hear it, so he hit Yang Lin.
Yang Lin squinted at him and said, "Fatty, don't say I didn't remind you, prepare the way back early, don't hug the thighs of the Shao brothers, otherwise you will regret it one day sooner or later." ”
"Pick!" Wang Jing was not convinced, and said with a glare: "The Shaw Brothers are the largest film company in Xiangjiang, do you know how many films are released in a year?" Golden Harvest has fallen, Xinyicheng has fallen, and Shaw Brothers will not fall! ”
Yang Lin sneered and leaned back on the back of his chair: "Do you remember what I said to you before?" ”
"Before?" Wang Jing scratched his head, apparently forgot.
"Didn't you say that the sixth uncle had already intended to sell the Shaw Brothers to that time?" Zhong Chuhong recalled that time in the bar, Yang Lin seemed to have told Wang Jing about it. After a long time, Yang Lin said this again, does he really have any gossip that can be sure that Shao Yifu has the intention of selling the Shaw family?
Yang Lin praised with a smile: "Sure enough, Zhong Ji is both beautiful and wise, much stronger than some guys with fat brains." ”
Guan Zhilin pursed her lips, a little surprised. What does it mean to be both beautiful and intelligent? Is Miss Ben bad? The thin and pointed high heels stepped on the surface of Yang Lin's feet.
"Huh" Yang Lin howled miserably, and said angrily: "Who stepped on me? After saying that, seeing Chen Yulian as cold as ice, Zhong Chuhong seemed to be smiling, Guan Zhilin looked left and right, Wang Jing directly drilled his head under the table to find the "fierce foot", and the answer was already obvious. But considering that after exposing the accident, someone was not allowed to become angry and do something unpredictable, causing even more terrifying consequences, Yang Lin decisively decided: endure! He smiled and said: "Proper exercise after eating will help digestion, exercise well, exercise well!" ”
Seeing his pitiful and palpitating appearance, several ladies laughed.
Wang Jing was a little heavy and asked, "What is the back road you are talking about?" Changing jobs? ”
"Not to mention the relationship between your father and son and the sixth uncle, if you change jobs, you will be scolded to death. Even if you can jump ship, where can you jump there? Yang Lin said disapprerovingly. I used to feel that this fat man's mind was quite flexible, but now he is so stupid that he can't open his mind?
Wang Jing was despised and said angrily: "So nowhere to go? Whether it is Jiahe or Xinyicheng, is there no place for the fat man and me? ”
Yang Lin filled the wine glasses in front of everyone with wine, put a piece of spicy pig ear in his mouth and chewed it, and said, "I said that you have no vision, I really don't wronged you." ”
Wang Jing was angry, even if Lao Tzu was really stupid, but in front of beautiful women, at least save some face, right? Qi said: "Okay, then you can tell me the reason." It's reasonable, it's just that, it's unreasonable, I can't spare you! "This guy doesn't choose what to say, and the drama comes up.
"Hehe, then let you be convinced, and listen to me one by one!" Yang Lin also dragged a sentence and continued: "Let's talk about Xinyicheng first. At present, the new art city is very popular, right? 81's "Ghost Horse Wisdom and Many Stars", "Chasing Girls", last year's "Best Partner", "Difficult Brothers" and "Taking the Wrong Car", this year's "Best Partner Shows His Magical Powers" and "I Love Night Prime", all of which are applauded and acclaimed. It seems to be a good prospect, but it has a serious and fatal concern. ”
Yang Lin is very eloquent, the narrative is clear, and the tone is subdued and frustrating, which is fascinating. Zhong Chuhong subconsciously asked, "What are the hidden worries?" ”
Yang Lin lit a cigarette, Guan Zhilin frowned: "Smoking so many cigarettes is not good." ”
Yang Lin smiled, still the same: "There is a big problem with the profit distribution of Xinyi City. As we all know, the new art city is helmed by the three giants of Mai Jia, Shi Tian and Huang Baiming, but their 'spoils' are seriously uneven. Huang Baiming accounts for 9%, Shi Tian accounts for 19%, and Princess Jin's Lei Juekun and Mai Jiahe account for 72%. Of the 72% shares, Princess Jin accounts for 51% and Mai Jia accounts for 49%. In other words, in the 'Big Three', Mai Jia has the lion's share. As the saying goes, 'the people do not suffer from the lack of wealth but suffer from inequality', the same work, the same work, but the gap between pay and return is so big, everyone has an idea in their hearts. If there are ideas, there will be opinions, and if there are opinions, there will be contradictions, and when the time comes, the contradictions will erupt. However, this contradiction is related to the most basic interests, and it is almost impossible to reconcile, so it will become a time bomb, and once it is detonated, it will be fatal to Xinyicheng. Therefore, I am not optimistic about the prospects of the new art city. It could be four or five years, it could be five or six years, and you can't escape. ”
Watching Yang Lin talk eloquently and pointing out the country, the beautiful eyes of the three beauties lit up, Wang Jing was super unhappy: "Ha, what you said is the same as the truth." It's rough, but how do you know so clearly? ”
Yang Lin squinted at him, and deliberately coaxed him: "If Xiucai doesn't go out, he will know the world." What's more, I'm a great talent? Wonder is the daughter of ignorance. ”
Wang Jing was choked by him, and he couldn't find the words to refute it, because he also admitted the name of Yang Lin, a "genius", so he had to drink with his head down.
Guan Zhilin said with great interest: "What about Jiahe? Golden Harvest also has hidden worries? ”
"Oh, I've drunk too much wine and I'm a little thirsty." Yang Lin pretended to say. Guan Zhilin looked at him with some amusement, this person is really, just now he still had the courage to have the world in mind and guide the country, and in a blink of an eye, he used such a childish trick. But he still smiled at the corner of his mouth, raised his snow-white jade hand, poured him a cup of tea, and pinched his throat coquettishly and said, "Yang Daguan, please use tea!" ”
"Aha, thank you." Yang Lin was tickled by her soft and glutinous voice, and hurriedly took a sip of tea, not daring to look at Guan Zhilin's eyes that seemed to be dripping.
"Golden Harvest has no hidden worries, relying on its strong global distribution capabilities and cinema chains, almost any hidden worries can be eliminated invisibly. Golden Harvest boss Zou Wen has brains, courage, open-mindedness, and is good at delegating power, and can be called the first person in Xiangjiang movies after Shao Daheng. However, everyone can be reused in Golden Harvest, but you can't. Fatty, you don't know why, do you? ”
Wang Jing took a sip of wine depressedly and sighed: "When Zou Wenhuai withdrew from the Shaw Clan, it was actually the sixth uncle who squeezed him away to a large extent. At that time, Hollywood gradually became popular with the reading producer system, and Zou Wenhuai also jointly proposed "dividends" with the general manager of Shaw Brothers at that time, and the differences between Uncle Six and Zou Wenhuai became bigger and bigger. Later, the general manager resigned and left, and the sixth uncle hired Ling Sicong to succeed him as the general manager, and then asked Aunt Fang to be responsible for 'procurement', but in fact, Aunt Fang was gradually taking over Zou Wenhuai's work - there are also a lot of my old beans in it. Therefore, Zou Wenhuai has a lot of resentment towards the sixth uncle, and my old bean has also been stained with a lot of light, and Zou Wenhuai is almost like fire. If I go to Jiahe to beg for food, I guess Zou Wenhuai will throw me on the street. Not to mention being a director, you can't play tricks. ”
Zhong Chuhong had vaguely heard of this secret, and Chen Yulian and Guan Zhilin had basically heard it for the first time, and they both heard it with relish.
Wang Jing was puzzled: "The point is, how could you take the initiative to go into such detail about this matter?" Seeing that Yang Lin put on that "wind scratching" posture again, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Okay, you are a great talent, you know everything, you can do anything, count me as a nonsense." ”
"Hehe," Yang Lin smiled badly: "The son can be taught." ”
Wang Jing was silent for a moment, and asked with some embarrassment: "The Shaw Brothers are really like you said, it won't be very long?" "Shaw Brothers is in the hands of Shao Yifu, and Wang Tianlin, as Shao Yifu's most trusted general, has made many movies in Shaw Brothers. Now Wang Jingzi inherits his father's business and still works in the Shaw Brothers, and has an inexplicable affection for the Shaw Brothers.
Yang Lin also sighed: "The era of the Shaw Brothers has become a thing of the past, it can no longer adapt to the development of modern films, and it is reasonable to be eliminated." ”
Wang Jing was unconvinced: "Why can't you adapt to the development of the movie?" ”
Yang Lin said lightly: "In the Shaw Dictionary, "making money" always comes first. The company's paternalistic management minimizes the production cycle, making the film very competitive, but it will inevitably cause some films to be of poor quality. When the overall concept of Shaw Brothers deviates, most films will be abandoned by the market. The Shaw Brothers assembly line operation has led to the accumulation of heavy burdens, and there is no way to return to the sky. ”
From 1958, when Run Shaw and Shaw Yan Mei established Shaw Brothers (Hong Kong) Limited, to May 1987, when Shaw Brothers announced that it would cease production, Shaw Brothers had produced more than 1,000 films. It is a cinematic kingdom that is destined to be impossible to reproduce and almost impossible to surpass.
"Wouldn't it be okay to change your business strategy?" Wang Jingyou has a glimmer of hope.
Yang Lin smiled bitterly: "Do you think Sixth Uncle can't see these problems?" He knows better than anyone else. But he had no energy or ability to change the direction of the broken ship. ”
Wang Jing was speechless, and said after a while: "What if someone buys the Shaw Brothers reorganization?" “
"Hehe" A glimmer of light flashed in Yang Lin's eyes: "The Shaw Brothers Company is useless, and the useful one is the Shaw Brothers theater." ”
"Cinemas?" At this time, Zhong Chuhong continued: "I heard a few days ago that Pan Disheng of Disheng Company intends to invest in the film industry, hoping to lease Shaw Brothers' cinema chain, but it seems that Shao Tycoon refused. ”
Yang Lin's heart jumped, Pan Disheng, do you already want to enter the film industry at this time? Shao Yifu has not yet made up his mind at this time, and still has residual hope for Shaw Brothers. But this hope will not last long, and next year he will break his wrist, completely get out of the film industry, and devote himself to TVB. In 87, the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line was completely sold as a whole.
There is not much time left for yourself. But until now, he is only an assistant director of TVB who has not been righted, does he still have time and opportunity to compete for that opportunity to soar to the sky?
For the first time since his rebirth, Yang Lin felt a strong sense of urgency.
