"Kill your aunt, the black film inside must be removed, otherwise it will be very fishy!"

"Rub a little salt, and add a little pepper mixture, and marinate the ten wedding bells."

"The pot must be heated first, and then the oil must be added...... Introduce a fried aunt oil to put a little more. ”

When the second brother smuggled to the United States, he worked in a hotel owned by his fellow townsman, and was repatriated back to his hometown, and the eldest brother opened a hotel at home. Illustrating the origin of family learning, the father is likely to be a master, and the red and white ceremonies in the village help the master. This is very common in rural areas, and basically every village will have such a master.

Li Tang was wearing a canteen master's meal list, standing in front of the stove and operating in a decent manner. He doesn't know how to cook, but after all, he runs a restaurant, and he sees a lot, as long as he is determined to learn, he can learn quite quickly. And he is not satisfied with learning how to stir-fry, but from killing fish, washing vegetables, cutting piers, and stir-frying.

At the same time, he not only learned to cook, but also learned the local accent from the local chef.

The movie "Drifting" doesn't have all the dialogue in dialects, but it has that flavor.

A dish of braised small miscellaneous fish was quickly cooked and put on a plate, Li Tang personally brought it out and put it on the table: "Braised little miscellaneous aunt, everyone please seven!" ”

"Yo, Mr. Li, you Hu Jian's ordinary school is quite fast."

The speaker is a girl who looks to be about twenty years old, and after getting acquainted with Li Tang in the past two days, she has been a little bit of a small seller.

Li Tang doesn't mind, this girl plays the second brother's girlfriend in the play, which can be regarded as the female number one, but her role is mainly for the second brother, and there are not many scenes, so it can be regarded as adding a touch of color to the second brother's gloomy life.

"Swallow, you have seven changes, don't send too much." Li Tang said with a straight face.

One sentence made everyone at the table laugh, and there was also a humanitarian: "Mr. Li, this sentence is the most similar, and I can't tell that you are a foreigner at all." ”

The play "Drifting" is just like Wang Xiaoshuai's previous style of small business, and there are only four main roles, the second brother played by Li Tang, the eldest brother played by Zhao Yiwei, an actor from the Beijing Film Studio Actors Troupe, and the girlfriend of the second brother played by Yanzi in front of him, and the sister-in-law played by an actress of Hu Jianrenyi. Some other fragmentary characters, such as the second brother's father-in-law, little partner, mayor of the town, etc., are all actors from Wang Xiaoshuai's old unit, Hu Jian Film Studio.

Wang Xiaoshuai took a bite of the braised small miscellaneous fish that had just been served, nodded and said, "It tastes good, Li Tang, do you know how to cook side dishes?" ”

"It doesn't take much, it's just that you watch a lot and learn quickly. Of course, there is also the good teaching of my department. It is the introduction of the braised little aunt is to take care of the director's taste, oh, we usually make soy sauce water. ”

Although Wang Xiaoshuai left Shanghai with his parents who supported the construction of the third line at a very young age, after all, the surrounding growth environment is all Shanghainese who support the construction of the third line, so not only does he speak with a Shanghai accent, but he also likes the thick oil red sauce in Shanghai cuisine.

Li Tang said and pulled out a stool and sat down, and the person next to him hurriedly poured him a glass of beer, and someone handed him a cigarette. He nodded and took the cigarette, raised his butt slightly, reached the lighter handed over, held the fire with both hands, lit it and patted the back of the other person's hand to show his gratitude, then took a deep breath and spit out a long string of smoke.

In addition to drinking and eating, the cigarette is almost always in his mouth, squinting, his head is slightly sideways, and occasionally he takes it down and flicks the cigarette ash.

Why do you keep smoking cigarettes, as if the villagers here smoke cigarettes and often hold them in their mouths, instead of holding them? In fact, this area is full of fishermen, and fishermen always work with two hands when fishing, or when weaving fishing nets, and over time they have developed the habit of holding cigarettes in their mouths.

Wang Xiaoshuai has been staring at Li Tang's state, and he can't help nodding secretly in his heart, some people's success is not accidental. Although Li Tang came to the crew to report at the latest, he obviously did his homework, including the accent of this speech, which he learned very quickly.

It's just that he is in this state now, for example, he has been talking and laughing with several young actors from Hu Jian's Film Studio on the table with Hu Jian's ordinary hair, and he also makes fun of swallows from time to time, which is diametrically opposed to the silent and introverted personality of his second brother originally designed.

The two had argued about this before, Li Tang thought that the second brother was a cheerful and unrestrained personality from the beginning, otherwise there would not be a group of buddies around him. As for the few words shown in the script, it is just a kind of depression after his suffering experience. It can also be understood as a manifestation that he has been to the United States and has seen the world, and he can't talk to his surroundings anymore, and he simply doesn't want to talk.

Wang Xiaoshuai is actually a stubborn person, otherwise he would not have been co-opted, but he still refused to compromise and jumped out of the system again to work alone. As a result, no one persuaded the other party, and Li Tang completely acted like he was going his own way, which gave him a headache. But whenever he saw the lively interaction between Li Tang and these actors who played the second brother's partners, he couldn't help but waver a little from his previous insistence.

At this time, someone happened to ask: "Mr. Li, I heard that "Hero" was shortlisted for the Oscars, do you say there is hope this time?" ”

The Oscar is undoubtedly the pinnacle of film awards in the minds of the Chinese people, and it is Xu that the success of Beijing's bid for the Olympics has given the Chinese people great confidence, and some people even shouted the slogan of "rushing to the Olympics" for a while.

This "rush" is to impact the Oscars, and for Chinese films, the biggest honor is nothing more than the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

Although a lot of unpleasant things have happened before, most Chinese people, especially the elite, still regard the United States as a beacon, as if as long as our films can win the Oscar and be recognized by the United States, it means that Chinese films will go to the world from now on.

But actually......

In Li Tang's impression, the nominated "Hero" did not win the Oscar as the Chinese expected, and even in the long history of the future, except for Cheng Long who won the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award once, no Chinese and Chinese film has won any awards in this "American Golden Rooster Award".

In addition to "Hero", there are also Mexican films "The Sins of Father Amaro", Finnish film "Man Without a Past", German film "No Home", and Dutch film "Paradise Hotel".

And the only impression that Li Tang has of among the four shortlisted films is the German movie "No Home". The reason is simple, because this movie is the winner in the end.

This film is based on Stephanie. Zellweger's autobiographical adaptation tells the story of the Redridge family fleeing to Africa in 1938 to escape Nazi persecution of Jews. In fact, as soon as the nominations were announced, as long as those who are well versed in the rules of the Hollywood game know very well that this film will be the best choice for this year's Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

On the one hand, the biographical theme has always been very popular in the Oscar selection, but more importantly, it is a Jewish theme, a Jewish theme about the persecution of the Nazis during World War II.

After the end of World War II, Jews used the media at their disposal and literary and artistic works, including films, to tirelessly tell the story of their suffering. It has become a kind of political correctness now, not to mention that many of the bigwigs behind Hollywood are themselves Jewish.

The results are clear.

Faced with this question at this time, Li Tang just glanced at the person who asked the question, and then lowered his head and took a puff of cigarette. He didn't know what to say, he couldn't say that "Hero" was destined to win the award and ruin everyone's interest, but he didn't want to lie.

When the atmosphere at the dinner table became a little awkward, someone immediately helped to play the round and said: "Hey, isn't "Hero" also shortlisted for the Golden Globe Awards, they all say that the Golden Globes are the vane of the Oscars." The Golden Globes will be presented in a few days, and if "Hero" can win the award, I think there is a chance that it will win the Oscar! ”

"Hey, what other movies are there besides "Hero" that were shortlisted for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film?"

The subject was then shifted.

Although all of them are not well-known young actors, it does not prevent them from talking about those unattainable international awards as insiders.

Li Tang turned his head to look at the excited faces, sighed secretly in his heart, and looked back at the door.

At this time, they are in a small town by the sea of Hu Jianlian River, built on the mountain, there is an S-shaped cement road from high to low at the door, the road is not wide, only four or five meters, can only accommodate one car to pass.

The room where they were eating at this time was the most important scene of the film. This is a two-story house, the ground floor hall is the place where the eldest brother's family runs a guest meal, and there is a door panel at the door, and there is nothing for the time being. When it comes to shooting, yellow enamel basins will be placed on the door panel, which will hold all kinds of side dishes, both meat and vegetarian. There will be a small blackboard hanging next to it, which reads "Guest meal, two meat and two vegetables, five yuan for one guest." ”

The cement road at the entrance is a small street, and there is a two-story house on the opposite side, but through the gap between the houses, you can vaguely see the gray sea in the distance.

Li Tang's eyes at this time were erratic, his gaze was empty and had no focus, and his only movement was to smoke a puff of cigarette from time to time.

This situation made Wang Xiaoshuai's eyes light up, and at this moment he finally found the appearance of his second brother, that's right, the second brother he imagined when he wrote the script should be like this. There was a bustle next to him, and he sat there silently smoking.

As a graduate of Nortel's directing department, of course he knows the cheerful personality that Li Tang showed before, but now it seems that it is just a kind of foreshadowing of performance.

At the same time, he had to admit that Li Tang's understanding of the characters was more accurate, and only in this lively atmosphere would the second brother's incompatible silence be reflected. And how can a person whose personality is inherently silent and introverted be in such a lively scene from time to time?

I had something to do today, and I came back late, so I hurried and hurried a chapter. Two shifts tomorrow!
