Chapter 110: Interview with the Journey to the West crew
The first pickled peppers were pickled successfully.
The main reason is that Cheng Guanli's technique matured not long after the opening of Shu Xiangxuan, and these apprentices and grandchildren of Uncle Huang are not novices.
Almost every month they pickle pickled peppers.
originally planned to recruit temporary workers, but later Cheng Guanli thought that there was a ready-made old Huang disciple grandson who didn't need it, so he immediately pulled it over.
The glassworks have not yet negotiated the bottles.
The price given there is too high, obviously it is a bottle for canning, but the price is one and a half cents higher than that of the wholesale cannery.
I don't know if I think Cheng Guanli has booked less, or I feel that new customers don't pay attention to it.
I have to say that in this period, some factories are really looking down at customers, selling if they want to sell to you, not selling to you, and they won't give them at a high price.
Originally, if this kind of stuff like pickled pepper enters the homes of ordinary people, it will have to be the main price, and the capacity of a canned bottle is only about eight taels, and the price of buying it cannot exceed three cents.
Just a bottle is a few points better, what money do you make?
Even if you can offer a discount to recycle bottles, it's not worth it.
Therefore, in the early days, Cheng Guanli did not plan to take the retail route, which did not make money and consumed manual packaging, but it was better to take the wholesale route of business to business first.
When the scale and popularity expand to a certain extent, it is not too late to connect with the department store market and supply and marketing cooperatives.
Anyway, there is no pickled pepper in the grocery store, and I am not afraid that others will take the lead in the market.
In fact, in the early days, the demand for pickled peppers from catering vendors was much greater than that of ordinary people, especially Cheng Guanli's pickled peppers have long been famous in the circle.
There were no twenty large jars left, and Li Dalei even drove to personally pull away 300 catties.
The two big restaurants and the farmhouse of Lao Li's family directly ordered the first batch of pickled peppers.
The original monthly output of 500 catties was not enough at all, and many small Sichuan restaurants did not line up when they wanted to order.
Cheng Guanli and Su Ying discussed, so they had to expand the output, order another twenty large jars, and double the output.
Production has doubled, but with it, a shortage of raw materials.
Since it is only March of the lunar calendar, there is no ready-made supply of Chaotian pepper in the north, and they are all purchased from the south.
The little inventory in several vegetable markets in the capital has been emptied by Cheng Guanli's two purchases, and it is impossible to get another 2,000 catties in a short period of time.
And in the future, the scale is getting bigger and bigger, and you can't always rely on vegetable vendors, you have to go to the south.
If you want to go to the south, it is not a matter of one or two days, not only to ask for leave from the school, but also to ask for leave from the central station.
Cheng Guanli went to Taili and told Mr. Huang about going to the south.
Teacher Huang frowned and said, "Didn't you delay your studies?"
Cheng Guanli said with a smile: "Teacher, in fact, I have completed the sophomore year course by myself, and the second half of the year is a review for me, so I won't delay."
"Not delayed?"
"No delay, I promise to get the first place in the exam!"
Teacher Huang nodded, "Okay, I believe you, where are you going to go to the south to harvest chili peppers?" Do you want to go to Huxiang?"
"Go, of course I have to go, the alpine varieties of Chaotian pepper there are very good, and the spicy taste is enough to have stamina, I mainly go over there, as well as the Guangyue area, where the climate is warm, and Chaotian pepper is available in all seasons."
….
Teacher Huang smiled: "That's okay, you can't go in vain, by the way, give me a business trip, at this time, the crew of "Journey to the West" is filming "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" in Lengjiang and Zhangjiajie in Huxiang, you stop by to do an interview with the crew and come back to produce a program."
Cheng Guanli was overjoyed when he heard it, "Really?"
"Of course, since the trial broadcast of "Demon Removal and Black Chicken Country" on CCTV on October 1 last year, the response to Journey to the West has been getting higher and higher day by day, CCTV has received a lot of letters asking about the filming progress, and seeing the heat, the leadership of the station decided to do a behind-the-scenes interview with a crew, and it just so happened that you were going to Huxiang this time, so you gave me an interview by the way, which is your first task after officially entering CCTV."
"Okay, promise to complete the task, it's all () who will go with me?"
"Just take the camera with you, the budget is tight, don't spend it randomly, otherwise I won't be able to reimburse you."
"Understood, then I'll prepare tomorrow and leave the day after tomorrow!"
After going back, Cheng Guanli told Su Ying about going to Huxiang to interview the crew of "Journey to the West".
Su Ying said regretfully: "It's a pity, I can't take leave, and I can't take advantage of your business trip, if I don't go to school, I will have to go with you at my own expense."
"Hahaha, what's this? As long as CCTV shoots the behind-the-scenes interview of this episode, I will definitely shoot the next episode, anyway, "Journey to the West" didn't start filming for a long time, and there will be opportunities in the future, I have to complete the task of CCTV this time, but also talk about the supply of chili peppers, even if I want to play, I don't have the energy."
"Okay, stay safe, don't bend your stomach, eat better."
"Don't worry, I won't be able to eat on my own expenses, and I'm not a stingy person when it's time to spend my own money."
On the day of departure, Cheng Guanli realized how tight the funds were.
Cameraman did not resist the camera at all, but only took a blank box of videotapes and a camera.
"Ugh...... Xiao Zhang, let's be too frugal, right?"
Xiao Zhang smiled awkwardly: "I also want to shoot all the way with the anti-Taiwan camera, but the leader refuses to let me, saying that after we get to the crew, when they are not filming, we can borrow the crew's camera and use it, mainly to take some photos, and then the newspaper and magazine will use it."
"Well, that's all there is to it."
At that moment, the two took the train to Huxiang.
Two days later, Cheng Guanli and the cameraman finally arrived at their destination, Lengjiang Boyue Cave.
The main thing here is to shoot the footage inside the White Bone Cave, and when the two arrived at the place, the crew had finished filming the scene in the cave, and according to local residents, the crew was transferred to Zhangjiajie the day before yesterday.
Due to the lack of information, it is not like a few decades later, everyone will have a mobile phone, and they can be contacted at any time.
It's inevitable.
Because it was getting late, the two had to stay overnight in a guest house in Lengjiang, and then rushed to Zhangjiajie early the next morning to shoot the scene of three dozen white bone spirits.
The dinner in the evening was invited by Cheng Guanli, and it was not included in the expenses of the business trip.
Xiao Zhang was very embarrassed, "Guanli, even if you have money in a restaurant, you can't spend it all the time?"
"It's okay, according to the standard of business trips, we will have enough for everyone to eat a bowl of noodles, and I can't go to the crew empty-handed tomorrow, buy more fruits, and I'll pay for it."
"Huh? Do you spend money again? Don't go back, Su Ying said you spent money indiscriminately!"
"Hahaha, no, you may have to go back early on this business trip, after interviewing the crew, I have to collect chili peppers, I don't know how long it will be delayed."
"No problem, I'll leave the follow-up editing and production to me, and I'll explain it to the leader."
The next day, Cheng Guanli and Xiao Zhang set off before dawn, and arrived at the shooting site in the afternoon.
The filming of this episode of "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" was very hard, and Director Yang led the 52 crew members to shoot more than half of the shots.
When Cheng Guanli arrived at the scene, he was filming the footage of Tang Seng reciting the mantra and Sun Monkey rolling on the ground in pain.
I saw the two of them carrying two long sticks on their shoulders, and the camera was sitting on the long sticks, holding the camera to take a detailed picture of Zhang Jin's facial expressions rolling on the ground.
didn't have time to say hello to the people in the crew, Cheng Guanli hurriedly patted Xiao Zhang.
"Get your camera and record this instant."
After this scene was filmed, Director Yang found the two of them and said with a smile: "Isn't this the viewing ceremony of the choreographer's sketch? Why did you bring a gift? Let's take a break, Taili has sent two comrades, Cheng Zhang, to express condolences to us!"
Back in the 80s, starting from the Spring Festival Gala.
