Chapter 463: Fragrant Street Food (1)
Wang Shang, who arrived in Hong Kong, and the crew of "Tip of the Tongue" did not go to the hotel, but to another place.
Beneath the bustling Central skyscraper, there are hidden food stalls that are about to disappear.
Here, the open-air boiling oil is boiling, the deep jujube iron pot cooks the fragrant street food, and the people who return late regard this place as a late-night canteen, tired of the day, enjoying free eating, drinking and discussion.
The target of this time has already been chosen, which is the partner with a relatively long history in the food stalls. There aren't many such food stalls in Hong Kong, but that doesn't mean there aren't.
Wang Shang found three food stalls with a history of fifty or sixty years, and one was a century-old shop, which appeared in old Hong Kong. It is only from these food stalls that they are more attractive and can resonate with people's history, culture and food.
Just arrived in Hong Kong, it was only about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Shang took the film crew to Tsim Sha Tsui food stall street to step on the spot, but there were not many customers at the food stall at this time. Many food stalls are closed signs.
Wang Shang and his entourage came here, a bit maverick and eye-catching. Soon Mr. Lin Zhi, the shopkeeper of a food stall, greeted him with a simple face, his food stall has a history of 70 years, and his grandparents have been operating it for four generations. The shopkeeper Lin Zhi is very happy that his store can be selected as the location of "Tip of the Tongue", which will be the first step for his store to become famous.
"Mr. Wang, it's afternoon now, so there won't be a lot of people, and at ** o'clock in the evening, it will be the peak season here, and the entire long street will be full of people at this glance."
"Thank you, Mr. Lin, by the way, we are going to find the camera placement spot as soon as possible when there are not many people, I think that place is good." Wang Shang pointed to the 30-meter-high roof at the exit of the food stall, "The camera is shooting from that side, and you can shoot the whole street, with people coming and going." It must be good. ”
Wang Shang walked the whole street with the shopkeeper Lin and the film crew, marking some locations where the camera could be placed from time to time.
It took at least two hours to get on a trip, but fortunately I didn't bring a heavyweight HD camera. Otherwise, I'm really tired.
However, Wang Shang's group of people wandering around attracted the attention of many people, but Wang Shang deliberately put on makeup, and then dressed very dirty, plus hats and sunglasses to cover it, so no one recognized Wang Shanglai.
"Lao Wang, what are you doing here?" An old neighbor asked curiously.
"It's okay, there's a show to shoot something." Shopkeeper Lin didn't dare to make a noise, otherwise it would soon be a mess here, and there would be no security forces here.
After choosing a good point, Wang Shang and the film crew had a delicious fish and shrimp dumplings cooked by Shopkeeper Lin himself. When you enter the mouth, a strong smell of fish umami overflows the entire mouth, and the soup is delicious, oily but not greasy.
Dazan!!
The crew devoured their tongues.
Wang Shang gave a thumbs up to Shopkeeper Lin.
After eating. After returning to the hotel and resting for two hours, Wang Shang began to take all the equipment of the film crew to the side of the food stall street, several cameras were placed according to the position determined at the beginning, and a camera was held by a photographer on his chest, ready to move to shoot.
In order to avoid being recognized, Wang Shang went directly to the top floor to command. Because it is only a few shots, it is not difficult to shoot. Therefore, photographers can complete the set shooting tasks by themselves.
The big camera obviously attracted the attention of the diners, but they didn't see what they were filming or what the program team was, and they quickly ignored it after asking to no avail.
The photographer holding the camera took pictures of the various diners in the food stalls all the way according to Wang Shang's instructions, and also took pictures of the shopkeeper Lin being busy in the kitchen, and at the same time scalding, pouring oil, and making dumplings for those soups...... Filmed with a series of action HD cameras.
Wang Shang used a lot of this technique in the previous months of shooting. So photographers are at ease.
It lasted until 2 a.m., when the diners gradually left and the food stalls began to close. Under the guidance of Wang Shang, the photographer filmed the process of closing the file of the shopkeeper Lin.
During the day the next day, Wang Shang reviewed the materials taken last night. In the evening, the second location of the shooting began.
The filming of Xiangjiang lasted for 4 days, and when Wang Shang left Xiangjiang for Guangzhou with satisfaction, no one knew that the crew of "Tip of the Tongue" had already come to Xiangjiang, and most fans who paid attention to "Tip of the Tongue" thought that Wang Shang was still raising pigs in the magic capital at this time.
————————————
It is said that Cantonese people are the most edible in the world, so "Tip of the Tongue" must not lack Guangdong.
However, just when Wang Shang was filming "The Tip of the Tongue" in Guangdong, the Golden Dragon Film Association established because of the Golden Dragon Award gradually took shape, which is equivalent to the elite version of the Huaxia Film Industry Association.
The directors are all directors of the fourth or fifth generation or above, and the screenwriters, soundtracks, and editors have very high influence in China, as well as people from major film companies and universities......
However, the list has not been made public, but from time to time there are hidden forces that add fuel to the fire, shouting for the Golden Dragon Award to inherit the power of the rise of Chinese films. With the continuous publicity, fans have gradually accepted this new thing.
Then the Golden Dragon Award made a move, and began to invite many 2013 film works around the world to participate in the selection of the first Golden Dragon Award in 2014. Under the vigorous mobilization of various official and private networks, in view of the fact that the strength of Chinese films has been continuously improved in recent years, countries and regions around the world have promised to bring many films to participate in the selection.
And so, this one thing came to pass.
However, the Golden Dragon Film Association was not calm and calm, and in an internal meeting, several parliamentarians put forward their opinions: "Why hasn't Wang Shang joined?" ”
Vice President Zhang Delong said expressionlessly: "Although he has made a lot of achievements, after all, he is not qualified enough, and it is difficult to say whether he can take on a big responsibility." And we did, but he didn't like our little temple. ”
The vice president spoke, and soon someone followed: "Hehe, you don't know, we handed the invitation to Tianwang Film and Television Group at the beginning, but that Wang Shang didn't respond at all afterwards." What does this mean? It shows that he doesn't care about our hard work at all, and to put it mildly, he doesn't look down on what we're doing at all. He is an international director, the world's Forbes richest, how can we compare? It's normal to look down on our Golden Dragon Award, why should this kind of person be invited? ”
Although this person spoke a bit of yin and yang, he successfully provoked the anger of many members.
However, Wang Shang was really wronged, Wang Shangke did not look down on this Golden Dragon Award, but he was too busy, and when the other party sent the invitation post, not only did he not send heavyweights to send it, but he didn't even send a little minion, but directly courier!! Such an insincere invitation was really a slap in the face, and it happened that Wang Shang was stimulated by an incident at that time and was in a bad mood, so he directly put the invitation aside.
The president also spoke at this time: "Is it normal to be young and arrogant, wasn't it the same when we were younger?" This is good, this shows that there is vitality, and it is the great general of our international film industry!! ”
The president's words directly set the file for Wang Shang, a young, domineering, and charging general, in short, he is the kind of big guy who can't get on the stage.
When the tone is set, the other members will know what to do: "He is still young, he has not experienced setbacks, he is inevitably frizzy, and he still needs guidance from his seniors." ”
"Yes, yes, Huaxia movies still need those of us of the older generation to call the shots."
"Wait for him to stay up for a few more years and get a little more achievements, and then he will definitely understand our hard work."
Tang Zongshi, Lan Haimei, An Pingshi and others saw the faces of those members, their faces were almost dark, and they couldn't help but curse in their hearts: "Male prostitutes and female thieves are rats." "It felt disgusting.
Wang Shang received the news not long after, covered his forehead and sighed, an oversight was caught by someone. But then I thought about it and smiled again. Wang Shang was sure in his heart, so he didn't pay attention to it, continued to walk between the food streets of Yangcheng, and seized the time to shoot "The Tip of the Tongue".
This year's Spring Festival Gala came relatively early, January 30, 2014 is Chinese New Year's Eve, there are still more than two months to go, Wang Shang is ready to finish filming "Tip of the Tongue" in these two months, and start post-editing and dubbing after the year.
Wang Shang originally wanted to broadcast this show during the Spring Festival, but unfortunately he couldn't catch up with it.
