England 1986

Chapter 234 Old Ka and Arnold

The brand of the food factory at home is called delicious, and Allen didn't change it. Instead, he felt that the brand name was simple, rude and straightforward, and with the like-like logo, it looked very festive, and there was no need to do anything fancy.

In the perception of ordinary people, the product diagrams drawn on the packaging of instant noodles are basically not taken seriously, just look at them.

But Master Allen does business, he doesn't play tricks!

If it is ordinary instant noodles, such as the bagged instant noodles that Huaguo has put into production now.

The packaging above is the actual product picture taken.

There was no meat in the instant noodles, just a little bit of dry vegetable wrap.

Although it doesn't look as good-looking as other products with fancy packaging, it is better than reality, what you see is what you get.

But now with the support of the origin of beef, higher-end instant noodles can come out.

What he is holding now is a new product developed, which is also the most common braised beef noodles among the public!
But this braised beef noodle is very high-end.

It feels heavy when you pick it up.

The packaging is more than double the size of normal barreled instant noodles.

The most barrel-packed instant noodles on the market now are the kind made in the island. It is better to say that they are in cups than in barrels.

The packaging looks very stingy, like Allen, he can eat four or five bowls at a time, and he can't even eat soup and water.

Allen doesn't like such products very much, which is one of the main reasons why these instant noodles from the island country cannot be sold in Europe and the United States.

Portion is small, taste is not suitable.

For the same price, why don't people go to a fast food restaurant to buy a sandwich or a hamburger instead of a small bucket of tasteless instant noodles?
Isn't this crazy?
But now this new deluxe version of delicious instant noodles is different.

Open the package, and the top thing inside is a small plastic folding fork.

Take out the small fork, and there is a very thick and oversized sauce packet underneath.

In addition to sauce packs, there are also seasoning packs and vegetable packs.

In order to be more affordable, the instant noodles in this kind of packaging are much thicker than the instant noodles in ordinary bags, which can just stick to the bottom of the packaging barrel and occupy half of the entire barrel.

And the essence of this deluxe version of instant noodles is in this very thick and oversized sauce packet.

There are real stewed beef cubes with a solid content greater than 100g.

Two taels of beef is directly covered with instant noodles. Is this really luxurious enough?

For the contemporary competing products of this era, it is definitely considered luxurious.

With the advantage of the origin of beef, as long as the price is controlled within a certain cost, this stuff will not worry about selling.

The remaining fried crocodile meat and fried steak are all local specialties. Allen mainly tastes and feels the quality.

The crocodile meat is okay to eat, it is a little more tender and chewy than chicken, and the quality of the beef here is only a little bit better than ordinary low-end beef.

If you want to sell it as high-quality meat, it’s useless, but if you supply it to low-end western restaurants and use it as steak raw materials, it’s just right, such as Salia.

"Is this kind of sauce package produced separately here, and then packed and sent to Huaguo?"

I took a sip of the soaked deluxe version of instant noodles. The taste was mediocre, but the beef was quite tasty, but it seemed to be a little different from the braised beef noodles in Allen's impression, but it was not a big problem.

"I have reported to the people here that if the packaged beef is sent to Huaguo for production, it is better to produce it directly here. The cost can be lowered better. The finished product is made here and shipped over. When the time comes, it will be reproduced and packaged there. It can be sold."

"Well, at the beginning, the consumption power over there may not be very friendly to this kind of product. Let's see the market at that time, and take your time."

After coming out of the cannery, today's inspection can be put aside first. The hotter the afternoon, the old Karl took Allen to the management accommodation area built along the river, which is a row of river view villas.

Half of the white iron-wood houses are built on the beach along the river bank, and the base of the whole house is supported by concrete pillars.

This design can better prevent insects and storms, and it can also better ventilate the house.

The environmental protection indicators in the Northern Territory are not serious at present, and there are no restrictions on the installation of air conditioners. All the villas here can be equipped with air conditioners.

After taking the coffee from Nicole, Allen took a sip, took out a pen and paper, and prepared to write something.

After Bill Hayden left that day, he sent Patrice to Xiangjiang to find Wei Dewei with his personal letter.

Allen still remembered that when Diana met him some time ago, she said that she would go to Xiangjiang with Boss Cha at the end of the year, but Diana didn't know what to do.

This time Patrice was sent there to find out news for Allen.

Although this kind of thing can be asked directly on the phone, it is not safe to call!
What's more, it is safest to ask for this kind of private information, or to send someone to bring the letter directly.

Allen is eager to know what Boss Cha is here for, and whether it will affect some of his plans. For no reason, he came here all the way, and Allen is very curious.

In Wales in August, the weather is hot and muggy.

Cameron deliberately asked the crew to call it quits early today, and that's all they need to do after shooting this scene.

The place where they are located today is on the outskirts of the town of Carmarthen.

There is still a distance from Allen's old movie site.

Because the scenes to be filmed during this period of time are somewhat dangerous.

They are all explosion scenes, especially the explosion scenes of vehicles. If it is too close to the town, there will be safety hazards.

In many movie scenes, there is a more classic scene where two cars collide and catch fire. With a sound of "coaxing", the two cars blow up with black smoke.

During this time, the protagonist had to run out of the car, rolling and crawling. Occasionally, he had to jump forward and lie down on the ground in conjunction with the back that was about to explode. After the protagonist lay down, the car exploded.

But in fact, how can a car explode so easily?
Among other things, in those movies one bullet hits the gas tank and the whole car blows up.

In reality this rarely happens.

Let's just say that the bullet shoots the fuel tank, let alone a bullet, it just smashes the fuel tank into a sieve, and it is more likely that the oil will leak out rather than explode.

Now if you want to shoot an explosion scene, it is of course good to use a real car, the shooting is real, but if a large truck wants to explode, how much explosives do you need?
This thing is too dangerous. Cameron wants to be exciting and real, but he doesn't want to court death.

So in the end I had to settle for the next best thing and order a few miniature vehicle models.

In this way, the vehicle looks real, and the shooting effect is better. The price of this 1:6 miniature vehicle model with all parts is not much cheaper than the real car, which is better than safety.

There are long steel cables dragging on the ground on both sides, and there are cranes in the distance to tow them. The steel cables are tied to two miniature truck models. Today, we will first shoot a scene of two vehicles colliding.

With Cameron's call to call it a day, the atmosphere of the entire crew changed from tense and depressed to a little excited.

As Allen took away some members of the crew, the entire crew appeared "leaner", and the filming of the film was drawing to a close.

Cameron took the initiative to invite Arnold to ride with him in the same car. Today is a group building activity for the crew that he had applied for with Butler Huth - to visit and eat at the Earl's manor.

This is the opportunity to apply for it because of Allen's vacation and Cameron's old face.

In the entire "Terminator 2" crew, half of the people themselves are old employees of Allen's crew, and the remaining half were brought over by Cameron from Hollywood and Canada.

Plus a few main actors.

Don't look at Arnold's small popularity because of "Terminator 1", and the salary has also risen to 300 million US dollars.

But these are all false, due to his muscular image, and that awkward Austrian accent, in fact, Arnold's acting path is very narrow, coupled with his poor acting skills, the current Arnold is priceless.

No one asked him to make a movie!

The rich producers looked down on an actor like him who was neither high nor low, but the producers thought his salary was too expensive, muscular men were so easy to find, anyway, they looked like that around the sunglasses.

Therefore, even though his own scenes were all filmed, Arnold didn't leave, but stayed on the set to see if Cameron needed to shoot any more shots later, saving him from going back and forth between the United States and Wales.

Arnold was still curious and excited about visiting the manor today.

He is from a small place, and he sees a lot of rich people now, which is not too rare. He has also become famous in recent years, and he is considered to have a small fortune. He also bought a set in the United States, which is not too small. house.

But Arnold is still very curious about the life of this traditional nobleman, let alone this kind of hereditary nobleman who is still in power. He always listens to Cameron and him bragging about how powerful this nobleman in his family is.

After listening too much, even Arnold himself felt a little awe.

Especially during filming in Wales, what he saw and heard gave him a deeper understanding of what a traditional hereditary noble with a fief is.

This is really not comparable to wealthy businessmen like the United States.

It doesn't mean that your house is big, the number of women you are looking for, and the number of bodyguards you have, your status will be high.

This earl is really a nobleman with status and tradition, and he is in no way comparable to those wealthy businessmen.

As usual, after going through the strict inspection at the gate, Nano sat in the car and looked at two big men in camouflage short-sleeves in the distance, leading two wolf dogs around the fence of the manor, as if they were checking something.

The vehicle followed the path all the way, passed the stables on the side, and stopped at the back of the main building.

Cameron pointed to a place in the distance that looked like the entrance of the hall and said, "This is where the servants eat. Aren't you always curious? Come with me?"

"maid?"

Arnold's voice was muffled and unclear, which meant that Cameron, who had worked with him for a long time, could barely understand it.

"Then what are you thinking about? Sir Hoot, you know? He is also the earl's servant, and he will come here to eat occasionally when he is not busy."

"Oh!"

When Cameron said this, Arnold realized that this is the staff canteen
But the Earl’s employees are all servants of his own family. , there seems to be a little difference, but the kernels are almost the same.

Walking into this huge restaurant with Cameron, Arnold thought that his arrival would at least cause a little sensation, or that someone would ask him for an autograph or something.

but the reality is cruel
A few servants who had just finished eating walked past them without even looking at them, as if treating them as air.

Cameron looked at the disappointed Arnold and smiled
After this Austrian became famous, he seemed to think that Hollywood was the whole world, but when he came out of the United States, especially in a place like Great Britain, who would know you!
My Meryl, Oscar queen!
I came here to shoot such an edge-of-the-earth movie for His Majesty the Earl, without a single complaint. Compared with these actors who have already won Oscar honors, what kind of star is he, Arnold?
Moreover, this is the restaurant in the manor. Most of the servants are either old people from the earl's family or retired navy veterans. Who would value a starlet in a movie.

People didn't clearly despise him, but he was considered to be of high quality.

Taking Arnold to the dining window, and picking up a plate, Cameron moved to the dining window skillfully.

Don't look at it as a servant's restaurant, the standard of food provided here can basically be compared to the food and beverages of four-star hotels outside.

There is a row of dining windows with a length of more than ten meters. There are Chinese, French, Italian, Japanese, British and other cuisines. .

That is to say, it is open for [-] hours a day, and you can come and eat at any time. The four hours when it is closed are used for cleaning and disinfection.

Due to their different jobs, these servants seem to have to work night shifts. Sometimes they can come here to eat until midnight after work. Basically, the arranged teams will try their best to avoid a few hours of rest in the restaurant. Come here for dinner.

After ordering a few dishes that looked delicious, Cameron ordered a large portion of ice cream when he passed by a window, and Arnold took a curious look and found a place to sit down and eat.

"Here. The old people in the film crew used to eat here when they don't usually go out."

Cameron dug a scoop of ice cream into his mouth, and explained to Arnold while eating.

"Director. Can this manor accommodate so many people? Do they usually work here?"

Arnold, who came here for the first time, was overwhelmed by the food standard. To be honest, it is better than his own daily food standard, and he has never seen any charges during the whole process. Rib.

With a sideways glance at Arnold, Cameron pointed out with a fork and said, "How many people could live here before?! A small cavalry regiment, 500 people! Do you understand?! These 500 people are the size of cavalry. Counting the servants and servants brought by the cavalry, do you think this place can't live?"

"hiss"

Hearing this, A Nuo took a slight breath, which is also...
Just when he was about to turn his head to take a look, Arnold was suddenly attracted by an extremely haggard-looking person diagonally opposite him.
