Reborn Cultural Empire

944. Unintentional Propaganda

The two of them ate and chewed in the kitchen with a sip of meat and a sip of wine. The boy still remembered the negotiators at Chuangda, and he had already ordered the chef to send some snacks first, but Robert There is no such thought, all those outside, no matter whether it is his team members, Yang or Star Entertainment, have all forgotten completely. After eating, the whole person is like an addict who has just tasted a prohibited substance , flushed all over his face.Yang Yi felt that this blushing face was partly due to the effect of alcohol, and most partly because this guy got excited about eating, and made him look like this.

The last bite of meat was poured down with kumiss. Seeing that Robert De Niro was about to reach out for the meat, the Mongolian man next to him hurriedly reached out to stop him: "It's almost done now, this is enough, and it tastes better if you eat it again." It’s much worse, and I won’t want to eat it in the future.”

This person is also straightforward, and he doesn't say too much, but with his own experience, he can see that the foreigner in front of him has reached the most "high" point. The sense of satisfaction in the stomach and intestines, in turn, reduces the sensitivity to food. Although it may not be so greasy and disgusting, a little more is unnecessary.Therefore, even though there were still three skewers of meat on the grill and two strips of meat on the stone, Nusanha threw them all into the middle of a nearby plate, and firmly rejected the big-nosed foreigner who wanted to eat the last bite. desire.

Seeing that although Robert was reluctant to part with him, he always showed the self-consciousness of a top eater. After putting down the knife and fork, he smiled and asked: "How is this dish? Is it worth it in your movie? Add How many close-up shots?"

"Six courses, six courses!" Logically speaking.This movie star and major producer should be someone who has read thousands of mountains and rivers.I have eaten delicious food, but after hearing Yang Yi asked about the previous agreement, he immediately nodded his head, and he didn't feel that adding a few extra shots to his movie would be difficult. place.

Seeing the other person's appearance, the boy couldn't help recalling that he had read the sketch of food eaters by Lin Qingxuan, a writer from Taiwan in his previous life—of course, as a favorite essay in his previous life, he also read it after his rebirth. in.When the author recorded that he obtained a French visa through his friends in Singapore, because those two friends were also foodies, they "tried every means" to "bribe" each other with a delicious meal, and ended up eating the whole meal , the ambassador who values ​​food more than anything else, directly gave the author Lin Qingxuan the longest visa period of six months.

One of the very classic descriptions, the boy read the original text last time.It was more than half a year ago, but I remember it clearly—"One year, Chen xx came to Taipei on business, and I asked if I could see his itinerary. He took out the paper, and there was almost no itinerary in it, only written There are places to eat three meals. And what to eat."

At that time, the author was naturally nonchalant, so he asked, "Is this your itinerary?"

As a result, the other party took it for granted: "Yes. What is more important than eating?"[

"He said that it's good to go out to visit the mountains and rivers, but it doesn't make much sense to people like them who often travel around the world. Eating good food is the most real thing. I look at his 'schedule' (that is, the eating schedule) Table) was blank one day at noon, indicating that I wanted to be the host. At that time, I was planning to go to France. I was applying for a visa to France. The power was in the hands of Dai xx, so I asked Dai xx to go with him... At that time, at Dai xx’s home, Chen pointed out Zhu Dai said to me: "Be careful when you invite him to dinner. If you eat some bad food, your French visa will be ruined. If you eat good tea, maybe you will be given a French passport."... "

"The next day, I took them to eat at 'Chike' on Ren'ai Road. Sure enough, they hadn't eaten it, and they were surprised that there was a restaurant in Taipei that they hadn't tried. I ordered some ordinary dishes, which I remember were stewed. Pork feet, wind chicken, drunken shrimp, dried shredded beef, pomfret, fried rice cakes, yellow croaker soup, mushroom duck tongue soup, every dish made them tongue-tied; The pig’s feet, wind chicken, and drunken shrimp are really strange to those who taste them for the first time, while the delicious yellow croaker soup, mushroom duck tongue soup made of fifty duck tongues, are full of tongue-shocking power.”

"At this time I revealed the reason why I chose 'Chike', because there is no record of 'Chike' in Dai xx's 'Cheats', so the chances of winning are very high. The four of us (and my wife) Xiao Luan) mentioned that choosing a restaurant is actually not as important as ordering the dishes, because the chef of each restaurant always has one or two "signature dishes". Sometimes a restaurant is supported by only one dish. The blind man rides a horse, only knows that there is a horse, but does not know that the horse is blind, it is really terrible... The function of good food is so great that it even affects the French visa! It is not careful!"

Regarding the author's last sentence, Yang Yi just wants to say one thing: "10086!"

Although the author that the boy likes, the description in the book is of course added the author's pen interest, in fact, even if he fails to make his friend extremely satisfied, he may not be unable to get a visa, but for the reborn boy In other words, failing to make the foreigner around him eat well, and inserting soft advertisements in the other party's movies, will probably fail.

So to put that sentence in another way-it's inadvertent that Haocai's function is so great that it even affects free blockbuster advertising-it's not wrong at all.

There is indeed no shortage of gluttonous clans in this world, and it just so happens that the person who can help the Yangyi culture is one of the gluttonous.

At this time, Yang Yi could only laugh secretly in his heart, this world is indeed very wonderful--it's fine for a former Hollywood film star and now a big-name producer to come to China to cast a role, and just because he saw himself giving Yang a job on the Internet. An advertisement for a restaurant, and temporarily changed the itinerary. After coming here, I happened to meet myself again. In my past and present lives, I know only two or three faces of Hollywood stars, but the other party happens to be among them...

So many coincidences came together that he, like Bai Jian, got an opportunity to place a soft advertisement in the movie for his restaurant. It has to be said that the reborn is indeed favored by heaven.

This moment.The boy couldn't help but feel a little complacent.

After a meal, Robert and his team naturally returned satisfied.As for what Star Entertainment thinks, who cares.After Yang Yi got a free advertising opportunity.The joy was not completely over, and just two days later, on TV, he saw another surprise that the foreigner gave him.

"Simultaneous Sound of Film and Television" was the same as Yang Yi's previous life. It was officially launched a year ago. Later, a series of programs such as "Film Age", "Starlight Movies", "World Movie Tour", "China Film Report" and so on came out. Before, it should be regarded as the only channel for domestic audiences to get in touch with various film and television consulting and professional reports.Among the programs of the same type, it was the first to start screening in the Mainland.Now, the news that Robert De Niro led his team to Shanghai to cast a cast, in addition to the entertainment programs of some local stations, will naturally also be reported by "Sound of Film and Television".

When Yang Yi and Su Wan returned to their "home" and turned on the TV, they happened to see the foreigner talking to the camera: "Yes, as you can imagine, the experience of coming to Huaxia made me feel very happy." Beautiful, whether it's the customs. Or the delicious food here... Oh, speaking of food, I have so many things to introduce, are you sure you will be interested to hear me finish? I thought you could eat it every day Such a delicious thing. So don't care what I think about Chinese food...”

On this point, Robert's guess was obviously wrong, although his words did sound right on the surface.But even in the great gourmet empire, there is definitely no shortage of descendants of dark cuisine.And many of them are self-taught people, who can make a table of people who can't swallow food casually.In addition, the problem of Chinese food for foreigners.Ordinary people will never get tired of watching it, so the host immediately gave an affirmative answer, obviously very interested in the Hollywood movie star's foodie experience in China.

"Okay, since you said so, then I will give you a delicious place, um, don't thank me, please call me Lei Scarf!" Since this guy is a senior film star, he naturally has no objection to appearing in front of foreign audiences. , showing off his "Huaxia Tong" image, and a new term came out immediately, but obviously, he mixed up the two specific titles, so that the host was stunned for a long time. It was easy to react: "You are talking about Lei Feng and the red scarf, right?" [

"Oh, yes, those are the two names." In front of the camera, the foreigner shrugged his shoulders exaggeratedly, then squeezed his eyes and smiled, and then returned to the topic: "I want to say 'Yangyi Catering', no I wonder if the beautiful host has heard of this restaurant, well, their boss is really interesting, a very interesting person, it is worth digging out, well, well, I am talking about Chinese food, in this restaurant Inside, I tasted the deliciousness that is enough to rank among the top three roast lambs I have eaten so far. It is unimaginable that an ordinary roast lamb is often eaten like this by our California cowboys, but in Under the hands of the chef, this ordinary dish has become a magical item that can make people forget all other tastes..."

It is still 2000, and less than 365 days have passed since the turn of the century. Those who are interested in movies among domestic audiences, the only way to know about movie consultation is to watch "Sound of Movies and Television".So at this time, there were not a few people who specifically switched the channel to CCTV [-].

Seeing on TV, a foreigner spoke highly of Chinese food, and the audience almost felt the same way—you are proud, thinking that our Chinese food is extensive and profound, how can we only cook raw or undercooked steaks, and then The rest is comparable to foreigners who say that potatoes are bread.However, while watching foreigners talking about Chinese food, they still have a poor aftertaste, and some viewers couldn't help laughing, questioning Robert's appreciation ability: "Hey, you say that these foreigners eat half-baked steaks all day long, he knows Is there any delicious dish in Chinese food? Barbecue over there in Shanghai? It’s a serious state banquet that has never been eaten by our Confucian cuisine in Hedong. If you are eating Confucian cuisine, you will forget that the barbecue is What is the taste!"

"Oh, you haven't eaten our Cantonese cuisine, so what is it to eat Chinese cuisine! I told this person to come to Yangcheng to have a look, so I know it's not Chinese cuisine!"

Many doubts about Robert were complained by different audience families at the same time.Among them, especially the audience from Rogo's hometown.The most annoyed: "Shao baby, we have never tasted Sichuan cuisine. How dare you say that barbecue is the best? I don't know that Sichuan cuisine is the authentic Chinese food..."

In fact, this kind of debate may not necessarily be the disdain of ordinary people in China for foreigners. If you put the Cantonese and Sichuan elders together.Two people who come from different regions but each represents the pole of Chinese food, most of them are arguing over whether Cantonese food is better or Sichuan food is better.But now that Robert De Niro is the common target, many viewers have begun to disdain it.

On TV, although the host also needs to try his best to lead the questions of the interviewees to the aspects related to the movie, but this kind of conscious topic guidance also needs to be divided into objects-domestic film and television stars, when they talk off-topic.Often the tolerance will be smaller, and the other party will not be given the opportunity to talk off-topic.But for foreign stars, especially stars of the level of Robert De Niro, even if they don't talk about film and television related topics, but just talk about things they are interested in, neither the column team nor the audience will think I am impatient, but I am also interested in the things that celebrities are interested in.

So after hearing Robert's eloquence.When it was his turn to speak, the host also briefly introduced Robert De Niro's life: "You may think that people who have never eaten Chinese food, when they first came into contact with Chinese food, everything is delicious, what They are all delicious. But in fact, it is not the first time for Mr. Robert to come into contact with Chinese food. And he is also qualified as a food critic issued by a Michelin restaurant! But speaking of this, I would like to introduce the audience first. What is a Michelin restaurant? place……"

Finally, after listening to the introduction of the host on TV.Many viewers who had dismissed it before were also a little stunned. It turned out that the Michelin star is so good in foreign countries. Like "Luoyang Water Banquet", are they all restaurants representing local specialties?

In the short introduction, perhaps many audiences may not have a very clear impression of Michelin.But even if I don’t know what a three-star Michelin star really means, I no longer feel disdain for the barbecue that the big nose admired on TV before.

"So, I think that Yangyi restaurant can get two and a half stars according to the Michelin standard. If they have other dishes besides relying on meat, they can surprise and intoxicate people so much, then it is Absolute three-star Michelin standard." Robert didn't feel that there was anything wrong with praising Yangyi Catering in front of the TV. Who made the barbecue at noon that day still linger in his mind?Although the other things I ate in the past few days are all good food, I have never encountered such a wonderful food that is so unique and can bring people a huge impact.So when it comes to eating, the film king will naturally miss Yang Yi's food.

Fortunately, this is a film and television consulting program after all, so after the gossip was over, the host brought the topic back to the other party's upcoming movie: "It seems that Mr. The memory is indeed deep, I don’t know if the delicacies you mentioned will help you choose actors in Huaxia, because we have an idiom in Huaxia, which is called beautiful food..."

Seeing this, Yang Yi laughed in surprise, he didn't expect that his previous actions of heart would be rewarded like this.If I had known that the other party was going to be on the "Video Simultaneous Voice" program, how much better I had made some preparations in advance?

But when I think about it, the other party probably mentioned Yangyi Catering out of excitement. This kind of thing was indeed unexpected, so the boy calmed down. Anyway, this is also a surprise. If you watch it now One percent of the viewers of this show are from Shanghai, and some of these viewers in Shanghai are affected by the show and go to the Yunqiao restaurant for dinner, which is a great help.It can be said that Robert's interview in this issue of "Sound of Film and Television Simultaneously" is the same as a prime-time advertisement on Yangyi Catering.

The only regret is that there is no way to come more times.

In fact, it was similar to Yang Yi’s expectations. After learning about Robert’s “achievements” and “excellent reputation” in the field of food, many viewers in Shanghai really loved the “Yangyi Catering” that the big-nosed foreigner never forgot on the show. , with a deep impression.A few of the parents who are also good eaters directly joked to their children: "Would you like to try that barbecue at Shangyang Yi Restaurant this weekend?"

Of course, this kind of suggestion is mostly put forward by children, but as long as the financial ability allows, adults will basically not refuse.

After watching the program very contentedly, the boy picked up the TV remote control, flicked it randomly in his hand, and was still thinking in his mind, how to cooperate with the Hollywood star this time. , Let Yangyi Catering make a good reputation.

We must know that among the many detailed classifications in the cultural field, food is always the most suitable for people from different cultural sources to approach and accept each other, and to recognize other cultural types.Compared with the situation in the previous life where the main markets of island country animation were only East Asia and Southeast Asia, it was difficult to fully compete with Meiman, island country cuisine is much more widely accepted in Europe and the United States.

With the popularity of Chinese culture, it is obvious that food can also be used as a main means. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!
