Food starts from cooking

Chapter 153 Box Office Poison, Yan Run's Way Out
"Kah, not bad not bad!"

On the set next door, the director shouted. As a well-known director in the industry, Hong Yuan has absolute control over the set. After all, he is a film director, so even the big-name stars at the scene have to listen to him carefully.

What they filmed was the very famous "Legend of Conquering the Demon", which had been established last year and invested [-] million yuan!
This is a fantasy movie, with an investment of [-], it is definitely considered a top-notch investment. After all, the general investment in movies now is tens of millions, or even a few million less, and last year's box office champion, "Happy From Heaven" box office is no more Five hundred million!

The investment of "Legend of the Demon" is [-], and if it wants to recover the cost, it needs to have a box office of almost [-] million.

and so……

From the beginning, Hongyuan rushed to break the box office record with "Legend of Conquering the Demon"!

Of course, he also has this ability. After all, the previous year's "Legend of Exorcising Demons" earned 8000 million at the box office, and the investment in that film was only [-] million!
As a top-tier director, there are quite a few people who want to act in Hongyuan movies!
For example, Yan Run, who has changed clothes and is waiting for a role test!
It happened to be lunch time, and everyone began to rest and prepare for dinner. Yan Run got this opportunity after delaying many relationships, so he was still quite nervous.

only……

Obviously not going well.

Hongyuan just looked at Yan Run, then asked him to say a few lines, and shook his head: "Teacher Yan, I'm sorry!"

Yan Run opened his mouth, feeling helpless: "Thank you!"

As a popular young student in the TV circle, Yan Run should have had a good development, but unfortunately he wanted to enter the film circle with all his heart, but he hit a wall several times. Up to now, not only the film circle has no achievements, but even the TV circle has also been rejected. abandoned.

It can be said that a good hand was played poorly.

Of course, it's not that the movie industry didn't give him a chance. After switching from the TV industry, he has starred in several movies, but it's a pity...

Without exception, they all went to the street, and they were the kind that lost everything.

So that I don't know when, Yan Run has an extra name of box office poison!

now……

Failed again.

"Perhaps, I woke up from my movie dream!"

Yan Run left the set of "The Legend of Exorcising the Demon" in a daze. Although he was abandoned by the TV circle, it shouldn't be difficult if he picks it up again, but...

His dream from the beginning was to act in a movie, but after he failed, this obsession became stronger and stronger!
I just left with such a heavy heart, I don't know where I went, and suddenly a scent penetrated my nostrils, and when I came back to my senses, I realized that I went to someone else's set.

Although some studio rules are not so strict, but after all, it is not a staff member, so it is not good to go to other people's studios!
It's just that when he saw the words "Legend of the White Snake", he was slightly taken aback.

"The Legend of the White Snake", he has also watched this TV series, and he can only say that this is indeed a miracle TV series. The singing voice created by himself in it is simply amazing. He really wants to meet the screenwriter. How did you come up with it.

but……

Isn't "Legend of the White Snake" over?
He obviously didn't know that "Legend of the White Snake" would have a follow-up!
But at this moment, the scent became more and more intense. Looking carefully, they were queuing up for food in the distance, so they were cooking on the set?

Well, as expected of the crew of "Legend of the White Snake", I don't know how much money that drama made, I'm jealous!

His stomach was growling, Yan Run felt it, and just about to leave, someone suddenly called out: "Teacher Yan?"

Yan Run felt that the voice seemed a little familiar, and when he turned his head, hey, he really was an acquaintance.

"Teacher Wong!"

Teacher Wang, Wang Li!
Yan Run is younger than Wang Li, but only two or three years younger. The two met earlier, but there is a big gap in their previous celebrity status. Yan Run is a talented player, and he has had several classic TV dramas since his debut.

It's a pity that every time Yan Run plays a classic TV series, he has to turn his head to the film industry. After failing to enter the film industry, he can only continue to act in TV series to pay off his debts.

Later, I don't know if it was because he offended people in the TV circle by saying that "tv series and movies are much different", or what, his dramas became less and less, and his celebrity status naturally dropped.

You know, Wang Li was very excited when she saw Yan Run at that time.

I just didn't expect it to be reversed now.

"Amazing, I didn't recognize the Xu Xian you played at first!"

Although his identity has changed, Yan Run didn't care too much about it. Maybe it's what he thought, his favorite is movies and TV dramas.
After a short chat, Wang Li said, "Ms. Yan, let's go eat something together. Our "Legend of the White Snake" Mr. Zhou cooks this!"

Wang Li gave a thumbs up.

Yan Run was taken aback, Mr. Zhou?

But he is really a bit hungry. If he went to have a meal, he should not be kicked out, and Wang Li said so, it would be bad if he refused!
As Wang Li said this, she also hurried over to line up.

"Ah, it smells so good, I want to make a wish, heaven, earth, if possible, please let me be fed to death by delicious food!"

"You think beautiful!"

"The ribs are amazing. If I have this skill, I will definitely be able to go all the way to a well-off life!"

"Brother Zhou is simply a god!"

Many girl ensemble performers secretly filmed Zhou You, but everyone was selfish, except for a few that were filmed and sent to friends, most of them were hidden and prepared to go back at night and put them on their stomachs under the covers.

Soon, it will be Wang Li and Yan Run.

"Teacher Zhou, this is my friend!"

Wang Li introduced Yan Run.

Zhou You raised his head, gave Wang Li the lunch box, glanced at Yan Run, but was slightly taken aback when he saw Yan Run's appearance.

this face...

So familiar!
Oh yeah, I've seen him in dramas before!
but……

When Yan Run saw Zhou You, he was also stunned by how handsome Zhou You was.

Taking the lunch box and leaving, he couldn't help but say, "Hey, is the rice cooker from the crew of "The Legend of the White Snake" so handsome?"

Although acting doesn't mean that you just need to be handsome, but...

A handsome guy of Zhou You's level can definitely rely on handsomeness alone for a living. After all, in the script, there is a man who is the most handsome in the world. Just Zhou You's face, even if there is no expression, just showing his face like that can already make people laugh. The audience was convinced.

Wang Li took Yan Run to her place, and said, "He's not a rice cooker, he's the screenwriter of our "Legend of the White Snake"!"

"What?" Yan Run turned pale in shock, looked around, and said, "You said he was a preacher?"

Seeing Wang Li's nod, Yan Run took a deep breath, realizing what he was thinking, no wonder Yan Run called Teacher Zhou Youzhou.

only……

He never expected that the screenwriter of "Legend of the White Snake" was such a handsome young guy. He thought he was at least forty, and even a woman.

after all……

There are rumors on the Internet that this "Legend of the White Snake" is a drama about three women!

Indeed it is!
Bai Suzhen, Xu Xian, Xiaoqing...

It seems that there are two men and one woman, one person and two snakes, but the actors are all women. I don't know how the director found Wang Li in the first place.

"Eat quickly, Mr. Zhou's meals are rare!"

"Ah, this is the dish cooked by Mr. Zhou?"

Only then did Yan Run come to his senses, and couldn't help asking.

"That's right, look at those people, all of them are eating happily. Do you think Zhou You is the screenwriter? You are wrong. It is because of the taste of Zhou You's food, which is the only one!"

As she said that, Wang Li also started to pick up.

Full of doubts, Yan Run opened the lunch box, and there were four dishes inside.

Dry pot cauliflower, thousand sheets of tofu, green pepper shredded pork, braised pork ribs!
If you just look at the colors of a few dishes, you already have too many boxed lunches, but they are boxed lunches after all, so the presentation is definitely not as good as the restaurant's a la carte.

only……

The moment the lid was opened, the scent rushed to the face, making people's mouth secrete saliva instantly.

In addition to the four dishes, there is also a seaweed egg drop soup, which is quite considerate.

Yan Run was already hungry, picked up the chopsticks, first took a mouthful of rice, and then picked up a piece of braised pork ribs.

The moment the pork ribs are added, there is still sticky juice. If you look closely, the color is bright red, and there are sesame seeds mixed on it.

After taking a bite, there are various spices first, followed by the sweetness of sugar, but this sweetness is not very strong, nor does it become greasy due to the smell of spices outside.

Immediately afterwards, the fresh aroma of the pork ribs came out. This kind of fleshy meat is the best in pork. After one bite, it was immediately smacked out. Then, the three kinds of aromas mixed together, which made Yan Run groan.

"I'll go, it's so delicious?"

Yan Run did not expect that what Wang Li said was true.

I don't know if the pork ribs are packed in a lunch box or something. Although the color looks good, but...the appearance is still somewhat different from the braised pork ribs made in five-star hotels.

but……

This taste really surpassed all the braised pork ribs he had eaten in five-star hotels before!
Beautiful and fragrant?
Do you think that the color, smell, and flavor are the order of a dish?

No, it's just that ordinary people can only see it first, then smell it, and then eat it!

Therefore, the most important thing is the taste of the last meal.

As for the braised pork ribs, perhaps because of the big pot of rice, although the appearance is a bit different from that of a five-star hotel, the taste is not comparable to a single one.

"how is the taste?"

"Well, it's soft and rotten to the bone, delicious and delicious. The most important thing is that it's neither firewood nor fishy. It's just right. There's also that combination of sweet and fragrant. It's just like a god would not change it!"

Yan Run shook his head after eating, and then tasted the other three dishes. Every time he tasted a dish, Yan Run's eyes lit up.

"Hey, I thought it was just braised pork ribs that were delicious, but now it seems that they are all delicious!"

"That's not true, Mr. Zhou can cook too many dishes, and almost every dish is delicious, there is no shortcoming!"

Yan Run was shocked, how old Zhou You is.

The two of them were enjoying their meal, and at this moment, suddenly Zhou You came over.

Yan Run immediately got up and said hello: "Mr. Zhou is good!"

"Hello!" Zhou You greeted with a smile, knowing that Wang Li had introduced himself, he said, "I quite like the "Jin Ke Zhuang Scholar" you played in the past!"

"Ah, yes, that was many years ago!"

It's been quite a few years, almost eight years. At that time, he had just debuted, and the "Jin Ke No. [-] Scholar" had the second highest ratings of the year!
At that time, Yan Run was the prince charming in the hearts of many girl fans.

Zhou You said, took out his phone, and clicked on a photo.

Curious, Yan Run looked over and was stunned.

The photo is of him, wearing a scholar's uniform and carrying a bookcase, but... when did he have this appearance?
Jinke champion?

It doesn't look like that either. Although there was this scholar-like outfit at the time, it probably didn't have this one.

But Wang Li recognized it: "This is a painting!"

indeed!

It was painted!
Zhou You nodded, and said, "Your appearance as a scholar in "Jin Ke Zhuang Scholar" was pretty good, how about it, I have a play, and I just need a character who looks like a scholar!"

Yan Run was taken aback, and Wang Li was also taken aback.

Invitation?
Wang Li came to her senses and was happy for Yan Run, and this is Zhou You, who knows what level this play is.

And this is also what Yan Run hesitated.

Although he said that he was afraid that he would give up movies and return to TV dramas, but... that was actually an angry word, his obsession had already deepened, and he really didn't want to return to the TV industry.

but……

Just like what Wang Li thought, this is a new drama for the preacher!
What if?
If there is another TV series with ratings similar to "Legend of the White Snake", and he refuses, will he vomit blood and die?

"My role is..."

"Protagonist!"

Male protagonist?
Yan Run was shocked. You know, he hasn't acted as a leading actor for several years. After all, he had sinned against many people in the TV circle before, so he was almost given up later. Now he came to ask for the role.

Not to mention the male lead, the second or even the third male, he often can't get it.

I didn't expect Zhou You to be the leading actor.

"Then... the one playing against me?"

"Oh, Bai Jie!"

puff!
Wang Li, who was having soup on the side, sprayed it directly.

"Hey, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Wang Li was taken aback, and hurriedly looked for paper. Fortunately, Zhou You reacted quickly and hid quickly, otherwise he would be sprayed all over.

Wang Li really didn't expect that it would be Bai Jie who played the opposite role.

Who is Bai Jie?

Even though she has become popular now with the role of Xu Xian, there is still a gap between her and Bai Jie, and there is even a slight gap between Fang Yuan and Bai Jie, who is almost known by everyone because of Bai Suzhen.

The key is that Bai Jie has a product on her head, it must be a high-quality brand!

The people looking for her to film in the movie didn't know how long the queue would be.

Of course, Yan Run didn't feel much better when Wang Li sprayed the soup. At this moment, he raised his head, stared at Zhou You, and couldn't help saying, "Teacher Zhou, don't lie to me!"

Zhou You rolled his eyes and said, "Do I have that much free time?"

Yan Run was short of breath, and said, "Then... is it true?"

"real!"

What the hell!

Yan Run felt that he was lucky today, although he doesn't really like filming TV dramas, but...

This is the preacher's script, and... this is a rivalry with Bai Jie!

This isn't shit luck, what is this!
"When will the filming start, the book!"

"Don't worry, wait until the filming of "Legend of the White Snake" is finished, and the set for that film has not yet started, it will take at least one and a half months!"

A month and a half?
scenery?

Yan Run suddenly felt something was wrong, and couldn't help but ask, "How many episodes?"

Zhou Youdao: "It's not a TV series!"

As soon as these words came out, Yan Run was stunned for a moment, his brain was buzzing, and after a while, he asked with a trembling tone: "Electronic...movie?"

Zhou You nodded: "Yes!"

What the hell!

I was just surprised before, but...

Now Yan Run is only shocked.

Movie?

Male protagonist?
The opponent is still Bai Jie?

Darling, you know, when he got good grades in the TV circle and acted in movies, the actors who acted for him were only fourth- and fifth-tier actresses.

But what level is Bai Jie?
You know, she is a well-rounded first-line actress who has both blossomed in film and television.

He could act in a movie with Bai Jie?
Yan Run was so excited that his body trembled, but then he came to his senses and said hesitantly: "That... Mr. Zhou, I... I don't know if you have heard of it, I There's a nickname!"

Zhou You frowned, motioning for him to continue!

Yan Run glanced at Wang Li, then looked at Zhou You, took a deep breath, and said, "I don't know if you know that I haven't made a profit from acting in a movie, and I almost lost money for one movie, so...so there is a box office The nickname of poison!"

Yan Runyue said that his voice was quieter, but he regretted it a bit. Why did he say this? Since Zhou You came to him, he must know, even if he didn't...

I agreed, signed the contract, can it still be changed?

But everything has been said, Yan Run looked at Zhou You earnestly and eagerly, wondering if Zhou You would give up on him because of the nickname 'Box Office Poison'.

Week of fun!

He laughed and said, "What kind of box office poison, I never think that someone can become a box office poison, just like someone can't be unlucky forever!"

"Those so-called directors who avoid people must have their abilities, but those directors are not skilled enough to dig out them!"

"There are no actors who can't act in this world, only directors who can't train actors!"

Yan Run: ...

Fuck, so domineering!

Yan Run breathed a sigh of relief!

Training actors?
If Director Hong Yuan heard this, he would probably curse him out loud.

"Leave the contact information. The book will be given to you tomorrow. You'd better figure it out. The shooting date is about two months away. The location may be in Long City!"

Long City?

Yan Run was stunned for a moment, feeling that this city was a little strange, as if he had heard of it before, but also as if he hadn't.

But he doesn't care where he goes to shoot, as long as there are scenes to shoot, and it's still a movie.

But Wang Li couldn't help asking: "Are you going to Long City for the set? Are you not in Lin'an?"

Zhou You said helplessly: "It takes two or three months to film a movie. It's too long. I'd better go back to Longshi. At worst, I will build a film and television studio in Longshi!"

hiss!
Wang Li gasped.

Get a film and television city!
What a great handwriting!

But although she doesn't know what Zhou You has to do with it, since she has said so, I'm afraid she really has this plan, and...the Hongwangou project in Long City will definitely need to be vigorously promoted at that time. If Zhou You can cooperate with Hongwangou Cooperation, maybe it can really make a film and television city.

While filming, while promoting the upcoming Hongwangou tourism base, it's a two-pronged approach!
