Chapter 777: Celebration Banquet
was interrupted by Li Yi, Zeng Shun was a little unsatisfied.
But he quickly reacted and asked excitedly: "Then what do you mean, do you want to give me this documentary?" ”
"Yes."
Li Yi smiled and nodded.
When he heard Zeng Shun talk about seeing from Wei, Li Yi knew that he was definitely the best candidate to shoot "A Tip of the Tongue".
Because the whole "Tip of the Tongue" has always adhered to the key of seeing from the micro, it has always been telling the food culture of this ancient nation in its thousands of years of history from the perspective of ordinary people.
Zeng Shun can say this, which shows that he really understands what Li Yi wants.
Therefore, Li Yi is still more relieved to hand over this film to him to shoot.
After getting the exact news from Li Yi's mouth, Zeng Shun's excitement could not be concealed, and he couldn't help but grasp Li Yi's hand and thanked him again and again: "Thank you!" Thanks a lot! Thank you, Mr. Lee, for giving me this opportunity! ”
For directors, being able to shoot a documentary is definitely the most extravagant dream.
Because the vast majority of documentaries don't make money, it's tantamount to throwing money into the water.
But if there is an opportunity, every director will want to make their own documentary.
In the film and television industry, directors who can make documentaries, regardless of whether they have money or not, will be praised by their peers.
Because compared with commercial films, documentaries are much higher in terms of both style and cultural value.
More than 20,000 movies are produced every year around the world, but 99% of them are garbage, and only a small number of high-quality products can be accepted and liked by the audience.
And these small number of fine products, after the erosion of time, will also be forgotten by people and become the dust of history.
Some directors will think that directing is just a profession and can earn money.
Such a director is very suitable for making commercial works, as long as he makes money.
But some directors will be more hypocritical, tangled, and want to shoot something really valuable.
Some of the top directors will find ways to give the film artistry and show the unique charm of the film.
Documentaries, on the other hand, use a direct perspective to record this ever-changing world, returning filming to its essence.
Many high-quality documentaries are precious video materials, recording everything that happened in the real world over a period of time.
It is precisely because of its authenticity that it distinguishes it from entertaining commercial and art films.
As Zeng Shun himself said, he believes that documentaries are works of art that can be left to future generations.
And this is the enthusiasm he had when he entered the directing department, and it was his real ideal.
In one life, in just a hundred years, life does not bring, death does not take away, and only a few people can leave some traces in this world.
Countless great celebrities in history are just an article, even a line of words, and a name.
And that's pretty much it.
The vast majority of people have been submerged between the lines, washed clean by time, and not even a trace can be left.
Zeng Shun originally thought that he would stay in the TV station for the rest of his life, live this life in peace, and finally die silently like most people, forgotten by his grandson's grandson, and completely disappeared.
But he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to shoot a serious documentary to leave something valuable to the world.
This incident made him ecstatic, but he was extremely nervous, for fear that Li Yi would dislike his lack of experience, think that he was not strong, look down on him, and not let him shoot.
So after getting the script, he studied it repeatedly, dug and understood it from all angles, and did countless preparations.
The emperor lived up to his hard work, this job finally fell into his hands, and he was extremely happy at the moment.
patted him with a smile, and Li Yi encouraged: "I invested this film with my own money, I hope you can shoot it well and show your best strength and state." ”
"Mr. Li, don't worry! I went to win the award in this film, but I couldn't get the award, and I didn't want a penny for the director's fee! ”
Zeng Shun grinned happily.
"No, just shoot well."
Li Yi explained with a smile: "Then you go back and pull the crew up, let's try to start filming within a week." ”
"Okay, I'll book the tickets now, and I'll call everyone in three days!"
He was more anxious than Li Yi, took out his mobile phone and began to book a plane ticket.
By the time Wang Tian and Li Yi were ready to go out to the restaurant, he had already ordered a car and went straight to the airport.
The celebration starts at 6 p.m., but the restaurant already starts preparing in the afternoon.
Originally, Wang Tian meant to arrange the celebration banquet in a relatively large hotel, such as the Great Wall Hotel and so on.
But the staff unanimously said that it can be done anywhere, as long as the dishes are made by Li Yi.
Yesterday, although the staff all took turns to taste the [Dragon and Phoenix Banquet], they didn't enjoy it, they just tasted it.
After all, yesterday's protagonist was the guest at the scene, and the staff was not good at taking the lead.
But now that the show is over, they naturally want to enjoy Li Yi's craftsmanship to the fullest.
During this time, they have helped Li Yi a lot.
Li Yi gave them a lot of work, and they did their best.
Therefore, Li Yi also had a plan for a long time, and wanted to cook a few tables of dishes to treat them.
Therefore, Li Yi had already contacted the back kitchen of the restaurant in advance, and asked the back kitchen staff to buy back all the ingredients he listed, the hair system that should be made, and the hanging soup that should be hung soup.
By this time, he had just enough time to make the dish.
The kitchen has no complaints about this, and is even very diligent.
Especially the chefs, they are about to recognize Li Yi as their godfather.
Because he didn't have time to deal with it himself, Li Yi told him the methods and requirements of how to hang the soup and asked him to deal with it.
If this was placed in ancient times, it would be a housekeeping skill that could be eaten for a lifetime, but he learned it without much effort, which is similar to pie in the sky.
Therefore, when Li Yi arrived in the back kitchen, he accompanied him throughout the whole process and personally gave Li Yi a hand.
In front of the kitchen team, he licked Li Yi like this, it seemed a little shameless, but he didn't think so.
He has also been watching "Chinese Restaurant", and he saw the end of yesterday's live broadcast.
can be the head chef of a five-star hotel in the core area of Beijing, and he can be regarded as well-informed.
For the golden apron of Hao Libao, the head chef of the State Guesthouse, he still knows the meaning behind it.
Therefore, after seeing Hao Libao personally wrap the golden apron around Li Yi, he knew that Li Yi was definitely the top chef who could stand with Hao Libao.
Therefore, he wished that Li Yi would come to the kitchen to demonstrate his cooking skills, so that he could learn two more tricks.
The ingredients are all ready, just need to cook.
Li Yi divided five by two, and stopped making all the dishes, and it was time for the banquet.
After stir-frying the hot stir-fry, Li Yi took off his apron and went to sit outside at the table.
The rest of the stews, roasts, and soups don't need to be made by him, they just need to be served when the heat is ready.
In the banquet hall, the staff arrived, sitting at several large round tables, chattering and laughing.
Seeing Li Yi coming, the staff jumped up and pulled Li Yi to sit at their table with a smile.
glanced at Liu Yifei, who was sitting on the side and laughing with Liu Xiaoli, Li Yi was pulled to the table by Master Cai and drank two glasses of wine.
One took the lead, and the rest naturally followed suit, and they all came to Li Yi with cups and wanted to have a drink with Li Yi.
Noticing the situation here, Liu Yifei couldn't sit still, hurriedly got up and ran over, pulled Li Yi to the staff and smiled: "You drink first, I have something to discuss with Brother Yi." ”
With that, she pulled Li Yi back to the main table and sat down.
