Hong Kong Entertainment: The top class starts with great writers

Guo Yunchen clocked off work at [-] o'clock in the afternoon, exhausted both physically and mentally. On the other hand, Song Huanxi also had a wonderful life.

On the fourth day of the student training class, in Song Huanxi's expectant eyes, the person who came to class turned out to be an acquaintance.

Cai Tong laughed and said, "Are you surprised? Surprised?"

The students cooperated and shouted: "Surprise!"

Who wouldn't love a mentor who's always smiling?

Cai Tong coughed lightly: "Everyone knows that besides being a film producer, I'm also a gourmet lover—"

"Today, I will tell you about the knowledge about eating in movies."

Song Huanxi raised her eyebrows and thought of her second child in an instant. She clenched her pen tightly and decided to take more notes in this class.

Cai Tong paced down from the podium and walked in the aisle between the two groups, which made him appear more approachable.

He raised his index finger and said with a smile: "About the various foods encountered during filming, I only have one suggestion, that is, try not to eat them."

The students were in an uproar. Except for Song Huanxi, all the other students had watched the movie. The only difference was that some watched more and some less.

At least the students have seen such a popular award-winning work as "The Beauty of the River and Mountain".

In the film, when Emperor Zhengde had a night banquet for his courtiers, the ladies in the court served all kinds of delicacies in an endless stream, and when watching the beauties singing and dancing in the garden, the dazzling array of snacks placed on the stone table;
Also, when the emperor visited Jiangnan in private, he caught up with the temple fair, and there were endless vendors carrying burdens on both sides of the road, such as goose oil crispy soft cake, sweet-scented osmanthus sweet potato and lotus root in honey sauce, all of which were extremely impressive!

The main reason is that the emperor is greedy, and he has to taste everything he sees, which makes the audience salivate. It is said that every time this "Jiangshan Beauty" is finished, the snack bars around the theater are very prosperous.

In private, many students are looking forward to the opportunity to feast on their mouths when they are filming in the future - the food is so spicy, Zhengde obviously can't finish it all by himself!
But now, Cai Baiwei actually said that it is best not to eat all kinds of food during filming!
The students all stared round their eyes, expressing their disbelief.

Some students yelled out: "In "Jiangshan Beauty", Emperor Zhengde eats really well!"

Cai Baiwei laughed and said meaningfully: "Then do you know that Zhao Lei, who played Zhengde, lost a full five catties after filming?"

The students were in an uproar again. Among them, Shen Mengru was very happy. She has a physique that would make her fat even after drinking cold water, but she lost five catties after filming a movie?
That's great!
Cai Baiwei stretched out his hand and pressed down, so the students quickly fell silent.

Cai Baiwei's gentle voice echoed in the classroom, and with the breeze that slipped in from the window, it was sent to the ears of every student: "I divide the food I encounter on the set into two types, one is props, and the other is food. required by the situation."

"Props, have you noticed? In the movie, there are many scenes like this. In the early morning, the sun has just risen. At the steamed bun shop at the end of the long street, there is a big basket of steaming buns coming out of the pot at the door—"

Many students nodded. Cai Baiwei mentioned this, indeed, there are such scenes in many movies.

Cai Tong continued with a smile: "Directors like this kind of shot, one is because it is the most lifelike, and there is nothing more symbolic of vitality than a pot of steaming steamed buns in the morning!"

"There's another reason. Don't you guys think it's exciting to fight and overturn the steamed bun stand, and the steamed buns are scattered like heavenly girls?"

Putting it this way——

Indeed!
Many students nodded their heads, and indeed they have seen such scenes in movies.

Cai Tong changed the topic: "However, most of the time, when filming, you can't just pass one by one. It is also possible that the director is not satisfied after today's filming, and will have to make up for it the next day——"

"Or this scene is finished, and another scene will use this scene."

"Then what should we do? You can't take a picture once, just steam a pot of steamed buns?"

Cai Baiwei's voice paused, and he looked at the students full of mischief: "Don't say anything else, do you know how long it takes to steam a pot of steamed buns, from kneading the noodles to getting the steamed buns out of the pot?"

Most of the students are seventeen or eighteen years old. Even if they occasionally help with housework at home, it will not involve such a big project as steaming steamed buns.

Although Song Huanxi often cooks, because he has to go to school before, he doesn't know how to make steamed buns, which is a time-consuming and labor-intensive staple food. He often steams a pot of rice and stir-fries a few dishes.

Looking at the stunned students, Cai Baiwei was rather complacent. It really feels good to overwhelm others with what he is good at. No wonder Boss Six often bullies them by virtue of his status as the boss.

"After kneading the dough, wake it up for an hour, and then knead it again. After it is divided into balls, put it in the pot for a second proofing, and it will take another 10 minutes. Finally, it will be steamed in the pot. After the water is boiled for 10 minutes, turn off the heat after steaming Stew for 5 minutes—"

"So, for a pot of steamed buns, it takes about two hours in total from kneading the noodles to getting out of the pot."

Cai Baiwei made a conclusion and said with a smile: "Then you can't spend two hours waiting for the steamed buns to come out of the pan every time before filming, right?"

"So, the steamed buns on the set are used repeatedly. Anyway, as long as water is added to the bottom of the cage, when the fire is heated, the water vapor will come up, and it will be steaming hot as if it was just out of the pan."

Cai Tong laughed again: "In that kind of fighting scene, when the steamed buns are lifted, hey, the heavenly girl throws the steamed buns. The director said, no, if the filming is not done well, the scene manager has to bend down, pick up the steamed buns one by one, and arrange them again."

"Sometimes, after shooting for too long, the steamed buns become very hard, almost like a rock. The actors have to hide when they are overturned, otherwise it will really hurt if they hit the body!"

The students half-opened their mouths, only to find it unbelievable, but what Supervisor Cai said was reasonable.

Cai Tong laughed loudly: "Do you still want to eat steaming steamed buns on the set?"

The heads of all the students were shaking like rattles in the hands of children——

No no no no!

Cai Tong raised his eyebrows, his eyes sparkled, "There is another situation, that is, you have to eat."

"Ketang Tavern, the hero enters the store, and immediately shouts, Xiaoer, two catties of stewed beef, and another catty of burning knives!"

"Or, a son of a rich family, a confidante with a confidante, talking at night under the lamp, a pot of wine, and three or four dishes of side dishes."

Cai Tong had already walked from the aisle between the two groups to another aisle, smiling at every student passing by: "Is this scene familiar?"

The students nodded honestly.

Cai Baiwei smiled into two crescent moons: "At this time, as an actor, you have to eat, and you have to show that you eat well."

"If you happen to be hungry, that's all right."

"But the director is not satisfied with your or other people's performance, and reshoots over and over again, and you eat over and over again—"

The students couldn't help substituting into it, and shivered in unison——

Look at the producer Cai who laughed at Mimi——

This is a devil!
