Chapter 11: Early Morning
As usual, Shen Chong woke up at about six o'clock in the morning, he carefully lifted the quilt, turned over and got out of bed, for fear of waking Li Kaiyuan, and then took a towel and a toothbrush, ready to go to the public bathroom to wash.
walked out of the bedroom, closed the door, and when I turned around, I saw Aunt Liu standing by the kitchen door.
"Ah Chong, Yuan Yuan didn't wake up, right?"
"Nope." Shen Chong stretched and said, "Let her sleep a little longer, I've been very tired lately." ”
Aunt Liu's eyes were red, as if she hadn't slept well, she moved her lips, and finally didn't say anything, sighed, and walked back to the kitchen.
Shen Chong took the towel, pulled the corners of his mouth, smiled bitterly, and went into the bathroom.
After washing, he went into the study, picked up a guitar hanging on the wall, opened the glass door, walked up to the balcony, and then sat down on a rattan chair with thick cushions, and began to play blindly.
In October, he was in Los Angeles, busy and busy, went to meet Teresa Teng, who lived with Lily, and bought this guitar when he came back - there are a lot of pop songs in his memory, and resources cannot be wasted.
He is doing things all over the world, and he is doing the media, butterfly wings have long been unaware of what the world looks like, Luo Dayou, who is in his twenties, has made a lot of songs that he has never heard, so Jay Chou, who is still a baby, will he still play music in the future? No one knows......
With every more piece of news, one more album, and one more movie in this world, those crazy men and women are likely to miss a look, a date, and a future singer born after 79 years of love, and even the chance to become a fertilized egg may disappear.
There will definitely be many new classic songs in the future, but the ones in Shen Chong's memory may never appear.
So it's better to plagiarize it yourself, even if you don't be a musical talent, it's good to play occasionally, and adjust your life and mood.
When I was in college in the previous life, it was the time when the guitar was popular, and 18 of the boys in the class bought guitars, and Shen Chong was naturally not exempt from vulgarity, after buying it, it didn't take long for him to be vulgar again, and he followed his classmates to online games - after a semester, these guitars of one or two hundred yuan, "burning sticks", were really made into burning sticks.
Despite this, Shen Chong still learned a little basic knowledge, knew fingering, could play some basic chords, and could play a few pop songs if he bumped into them, he didn't have time to find a professional teacher to teach now, and he didn't have the energy to learn, so he relied on the memory of his previous life, and sat on the balcony every morning after getting up.
After playing for a while, Shen Chong heard a noise behind him, and when he looked back, he saw Tianbao wearing plush pajamas, like a kitten, lightly opening the glass door and going up to the balcony.
"Brother-in-law, did you tell my mother?"
"Why did you come out in your pajamas, not afraid of catching a cold." Shen Chong admired Tianbao's dedication to the TV, and said with a smile: "Say, your mother said that it can be installed, but the power switch should be placed in her room." ”
"Ah......" Tianbao was annoyed and pouted, "What's the use of that, I might as well watch it in the living room." ”
Shen Chong plucked the guitar strings casually and said, "There are no shows to watch at night, and it is also a decoration in the bedroom." ”
"I can watch the video." Tianbao sat next to him and said, "I want to be a big star in the future, and now I will watch TV dramas to learn acting skills."
"You girl." Shen Chong smiled and said, "The last time you shot an advertisement, didn't you say it wasn't fun?" ”
"Filming commercials always makes the same expressions and actions, how can it be fun to shoot TV series." Tianbao propped his chin and said, "I want to be a big star like Zhao Yazhi." ”
"Change Zhao Yazhi? Don't you like Wang Mingquan the most? ”
"But Su Rongrong is very beautiful." Tianbao's eyes were full of longing, and he said: "I really want to be a chivalrous girl, follow Chu Liuxiang, crisscross the rivers and lakes, and be invincible in the world." ”
Some time ago, H released "Chu Liuxiang" starring Zheng Shaoqiu and Zhao Yazhi, Hong Kong is empty of thousands of people, everyone is competing to watch, there are even a lot fewer taxis on the street, and some shops are closed early, whether it is the boss or the employee, they have no intention of working.
Unexpectedly, Tianbao is also a brainless fan.
Shen Chong laughed and said, "How can you learn any acting skills by watching TV series, one day I will take you to the Shaw Brothers' studio to see how they film." ”
"Really?"
"When did I lie to you." Shen Chong laughed, let go of the guitar, flicked her head, and said, "Go back to the house, if you catch a cold, you will feel better." ”
"Oops, hit me on the head again." Tianbao brushed his fingers away, complained, and then said sweetly, "Brother-in-law, when will you take me there?" ”
"In a few days, I'll go when you're on vacation."
"Brother-in-law, you're so nice." Tianbao gave him a good person card, then stood up and walked towards the house, she opened the glass door, turned back and said: "Brother-in-law, you play the guitar really badly, you are really a rookie among rookies." ”
After finishing speaking, with a string of laughter, he ran back to the bedroom.
This girl, Shen Chong shook his head with a smile, the rookie among the rookies is the mantra he often uses to teach Tianbao a lesson, and he didn't expect to be used by her to mock himself today.
After climbing the lattice for more than half an hour, Aunt Liu pushed open the glass door and said, "Ah Chong, it's time for breakfast." ”
Shen Chong responded, stood up, and asked while putting the guitar into the case, "Is Uncle Li up?" ”
"Get up, eat first." Aunt Liu said: "Let Yuan Yuan sleep a little longer, and when she gets up, I will give her hot food." ”
"Okay." Shen Chong covered the box, lifted it, and when he walked into the room, he said softly: "Aunt Liu, don't think about it, Yuan Yuan and I are fine." ”
"It's fine that you two are okay." When Aunt Liu heard this, she sighed and said, "Ah Chong, I don't have any other requirements with your Uncle Li, you... You don't let Yuan Yuan suffer losses. ”
Shen Chong didn't speak, just nodded vigorously.
"You go eat." Aunt Liu patted him on the back and said, "I'll go and tell Tianbao to get up." ”
Shen Chong came to the restaurant, and Li Tang was already sitting at the dining table, drinking porridge.
Shen Chong picked up the porridge and asked, "Uncle Li, Uncle Fu said that the mainland delegation arrived yesterday, and I will go to the Great Wall later, will you go?" ”
"I don't know those people from the mainland, so I can't socialize." Li Tang drank porridge and said, "Today I will go to the set of Golden Harvest." ”
"Uncle Li, you are now the deputy director of the Great Wall, and the leaders from the mainland have come, so it's better to go and order something." Shen Chong took a sip of porridge and said, "Those leaders love face the most. ”
"I'm the deputy factory director, and I'm not your face." Li Tang sandwiched a small dish and said indifferently: "You just go, I can only do work, I don't know how to be an official, and I can't talk to them." ”
"Alright then, I'll take you to the set in a minute." The porridge was a little hot, and Shen Chong asked while stirring the heat dissipation, "Uncle Li, how is it on the set?" ”
"Those ghosts, the level is really good." Speaking of technical work, Li Tang immediately became interested and said: "I blew up seven or eight models on the set of the Great Wall, but none of them produced decent results, they only used it twice, and they blew it up like the real thing." ”
"Oh?" Shen Chong asked with interest; "How did they do it?"
"The main thing is that the formula of the explosives is different, and there is also the control of the explosion." Li Tang put down the bowl, scratched the table with chopsticks, and said: "I don't understand the recipe for the time being, but I understand it, they pressed dozens of small switches in the model, and the explosion layer by floor is more layered than the one we used to bomb directly under the model, and it can control the explosion sparks, and ah, the camera they use is not the same."
"Alright, let's eat." Aunt Liu walked over, picked up the rice bowl, glared at Li Tang, who was rising, and said, "Early in the morning, what are you talking about, it's unlucky." ”
Li Tang laughed twice, picked up the rice bowl again, and ate slowly.
"Aunt Liu, how did you think about opening a branch?"
"Oops, Ah Chong." Aunt Liu held the chopsticks, hesitated, and said, "You said that my new store has just opened, and I want to open a branch again, is it too fast?" ”
"It's not fast." Shen Chong took a sip of porridge and said; "The stores in Mong Kok have been open for more than a month, and they are full every day, and the positioning has to wait for two days to open a branch, and these customers have been lost, what a pity."
"FLM has been doing it for 40 years before opening a branch in Kowloon." Aunt Liu said: "I have only been open for more than a month, and I will open a branch, and I will be laughed at." ”
"Aunt Liu, FLM is in the shark fin abalone business, we are in the fast food business, and we pay attention to small profits but quick turnover, you see Café de Coral has opened more than 30 stores in Hong Kong."
"How can we compare with the Luo family, they are a big family, and some have money."
"My brother-in-law also has a lot of money." Tianbao came over with a bottle of Vitasoy at this time, she sat on the chair next to Shen Chong, and said: "Mom, you are too stingy, if I call the shots, I will open ten branches at a time, so that everyone in Hong Kong can eat our frightening fragrance." ”
"You little girl, you're not afraid to flash your tongue when you say big things." Aunt Liu pointed to the bottle in her hand with chopsticks and said, "Look at it, what you drink every day is all the things of the Luo family, and you dare to compare with others." ”
Tianbao picked up the bottle and looked at it, and asked curiously, "Vitasoy belongs to the Luo family?" ”
"What do you think?" Shen Chong smiled and said, "Vitasoy, everyone's happiness, and happiness, they are all from the Luo family, and their assets are more than one billion, and your brother-in-law can't compare now." ”
"It's not comparable now, but it will definitely work in the future." Tianbao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother-in-law, it's okay, I have faith in you."
"I really can't let me watch TV anymore, I'm going crazy, my mouth is full of lines from TV dramas." Shen Chong laughed twice, then handed over the bowl, motioned for her to serve the meal, and then said to Aunt Liu: "The branch can be opened in Wan Chai first, after the Hopewell Center is built, there must be a lot of people working there, and the business must be very good." ”
Aunt Liu had always had little resistance to Shen Chong's words, so she quickly agreed and said, "Okay, I'll go over there in a few days to see if there is a suitable place." ”
Shen Chong is interested in Aunt Liu's hot pot restaurant, in addition to the fact that the business is really hot, and he doesn't make money for nothing, he also has some other thoughts.
After going to the United States a few times, in his current era, foreign understanding of Chinese culture is extremely scarce, many people are still stuck in the World War II era, all kinds of prejudices, many things that are obviously Chinese, but are considered Japanese, or Korean, which makes him very unhappy.
If you want to promote Chinese culture, is there a more intuitive and simple way than eating?
In the United States, there are not many Chinese restaurants, but most of them are nested in Chinatown, and they have not gone out, and those that go out are mainly cheap and low-grade, which is completely unable to support the banner of Chinese catering culture.
Chinese food is broad and profound, and in real terms, hot pot is not the best dish, but hot pot has a very good quality - it is easy to standardize
Frying, stir-frying, simmering, are very complicated, when cooking, heat, oil, salt, seasonings, etc., have high requirements for cooking skills, and vary from person to person, can not be standardized, can not be standardized, can not control the quality.
Hot pot only needs to be equipped with bases, ingredients and condiments, and customers can choose according to their preferences, which not only ensures Chinese characteristics, but also reduces cultural loss, and is very easy to promote on a large scale.
If Chinese-style hot pot restaurants bloom everywhere in the United States, when customers eat, eat, watch, use, and listen to all of them are Chinese, they will naturally have a deeper understanding of Chinese culture.
When the hot pot exhibition is ready, it will be a matter of course to use this as a platform to promote high-end Chinese food.
Before Shen Chong's crossing, Chinese hot pot was already blooming all over the United States, and it was not cheap, but it was very popular, and it was the most popular product in all Asian diets.
So he is very confident in this plan.
In this world, countless people have an understanding of French culture because of red wine and snails, will China's food be inferior to France?
Shen Chong didn't want his film to enter the United States, but he was asked: "Why do Chinese use Japanese things?" ”
This time, in order to film "Die Hard", Shen Chong specially rented three studios from Golden Harvest, one to make miniatures to create big explosion scenes, one to build an office for filming indoor fight scenes, and one to shoot various mass scenes.
Li Tang's craftsmanship and ability to make zuò models were highly valued by Shen Chong, so he specially borrowed him.
After arriving at the set, Shen Chong didn't go in, and now the script hasn't been finished yet, and he is just doing preliminary work on the set, and there is nothing special to pay attention to, after Li Tang got out of the car, he turned the car around and drove towards the Great Wall Film Studio.
After the Cultural Congress, the Film Bureau organized a delegation of more than 20 people to visit Hong Kong.
At the same time, he also eagerly wanted to inquire about the tone of affairs from this group of people -- in the early days of reform and opening up, many policies were formulated very quickly once they were nodded from above, and it has been more than half a month since the Cultural Congress passed, and it is very likely that the results of Hong Kong films entering the screening area in Guangdong have already been achieved.
