China Entertainment Times

Chapter 796
On the first day of the new year, the annual Spring Festival is here. This year, Hantang Media did not participate in the competition for the Spring Festival stalls, but it was a lot cleaner, and the holiday was on time.

A few days ago, Tang An went through all the materials of "Operation Red Sea" a little bit, and kept it until the end of the new year to do the post-production.

On the morning of the first day of the new year, Tang An invited some of the company's artists to come to his house for a gathering. The company has over a hundred stars, big and small, and Tang An hasn't seen many of them throughout the year.

Even if they get together every time there are some activities or the group annual meeting, most of them don't even say a word.

New Year's Eve also needs popularity, so Tang An invited some people to come and have fun.

As I said in advance, no matter where my hometown is or what activities are held, basically all the people invited are here.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, people arrived one after another, about ten people.

Deng Chao and Liu Ye, the "leaders" of several major companies, have all been to Tang An's house. Other artists, especially a few second- and third-tier artists, were a little nervous when they came for the first time.

"Miss Yang, Miss Tang, sit down first, Director Tang is still in the screening room, I'll call him."

Aunt Liu, the nanny, invited them in and turned around to pour water.

"Everyone sit down, there is nothing to restrict, just treat it as being at the house of relatives and friends." Yang Mi greeted everyone quite familiarly, and threw her bag on the sofa, acting like a hostess.

Deng Chao, Liu Ye, and Sun Li were not polite, so they sat down on the sofa, and Deng Chao yelled, "After a year, I won't be able to sleep too late, I have to catch up on sleep."

Zhao Liying, Wang Kai, and Wan Qian also found a place to sit down, leaving only Xiaodi, Liu Haoran, and Peng Yichang standing there.

Seeing this, Tang Yan smiled at them, "Sit down, don't run out of energy to work later."

When his boss spoke, Lan Yingying and Wu Lei, who are also members of Shanghai Tang Yan, also sat down immediately.

The others had nothing to restrain themselves, so they found a place to sit down one by one.

Deng Chao, who was half-closed, suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Tang Yan, and asked puzzledly, "Work? What work?"

"Cook, what else do you eat?" Tang Yan asked.

Deng Chao looked at so many of them, and asked a little strangely, "Didn't Director Tang order a chef in advance?"

"Just now I saw Aunt Liu tidying up the refrigerator. It's full. I guess I have to do it myself." Tang Yan pointed to the kitchen not far away.

Since chefs are invited to cook at home, it is enough for them to prepare their own dishes. The dishes in five-star hotels will definitely not be bad, so they will not prepare their own dishes, which is superfluous.

There is only one nanny, and it is definitely not so easy to cook for so many people, so they have to do it.

Deng Chao was taken aback for being a guest and had to cook by himself, but then he went into Sun Li's arms and said with a smile, "I don't know how to cook, so my wife can do it."

Sun Li slapped Deng Chao's head and scolded, "Don't try to be lazy."

Deng Chao said bluntly, "But I only know how to make noodles, and I can add at most two green vegetables. No one will want to eat the noodles I made during the Chinese New Year."

Liu Ye next to him said with a smile, "Who says no, I just want to lose weight, and I can't eat too greasy during the Chinese New Year. I made your vegetable soup noodles, and I also make instant noodles. Let's eat each other's cooking."

"what"

Deng Chao pretended to be disgusted, squeezed into Sun Li's arms, and said with a cold face, "Eat each other's cooking, Brother Ye, you are too disgusting."

"Hahaha"

Deng Chao suddenly possessed a playful spirit, making everyone laugh out loud.

And when others heard that they were going to cook for themselves, their eyes lit up.

If Tang An is satisfied with this meal, he might be able to play some role.

However, when I thought that I could only eat, I basically gave up this idea. Don't poison Tang An to death, it will be troublesome.

However, they all secretly had an idea in their hearts. They wanted to learn cooking skills in the future, and they could still cook when they came to Tang An's house.

Peng Yichang is going to be the host of Tudou's self-made variety show "Longing for Life" next month, and he is also thinking about learning from Huang Lei.

Within a few minutes, Tang An came over from the screening room. Seeing everyone coming, he said with a smile, "Happy New Year everyone."

"Happy New Year Tang Dong!" Everyone also got up and said hello.

After exchanging greetings for a while, Tang An asked, "It's rare this year that it's all here. Let's make a lunch by ourselves. The dishes are all prepared. Who wants to show off?"

"Tang Dong, let me come. I usually cook by myself at home, but I can't compare to a hotel chef." Sun Li was the first to agree.

Then look at me, I look at you, no one said anything.

"It's not a big requirement, just enough to eat." Tang An looked around with a smile.

The Chinese New Year is all about being lively, and Tang An doesn't expect to be able to eat any delicacies in the world. In that case, just find a group of chefs to cook it.

"Come on, I can cook some simple dishes." Wan Qian said.

Wang Kai also said, "If you don't think my cooking is not delicious, then I will come too."

Tang Yan smiled, "I help wash the vegetables."

Zhao Liying also cooks occasionally, and she can still eat. After thinking about it, she volunteered, "I will do a little bit too."

It's not too late to gather four chefs, and it's almost enough.

Tang An smiled, "It seems that most of the people who know how to cook are lesbians, Xiao Di, you should learn more, how can a girl not know how to cook?"

After speaking, he criticized the male compatriots again.

"Liu Haoran and Peng Peng both said that grabbing a girl's stomach is equivalent to grabbing a girl's heart. Nowadays, many girls don't know how to cook. Boys your age can't cook if they don't know how to cook."

Whether you are a boy or a girl, you have to know how to cook.

Okay, okay, anyway, you are the boss and you are right.

Tang An didn't know what they were complaining about, so he arranged tasks, "That's it, Sun Li, Wan Qian, Li Ying, and Wang Kai, you four discuss it, Tang Tang is in charge of picking and washing vegetables, and the others You can do whatever you want, and let’s arrange the rest of the house.”

"Then Xiao Di, Peng Peng, Hui Wen, help me wash the vegetables together."

Tang Yan randomly ordered three people.

Women are not easy, Tang An shook his head secretly.

Tang Yan also signed a lot of artists, but none of them could stand out. This time, they brought two fellow villagers here to show their faces in front of Tang An.

Among the younger generation of actors under the group, Xiaodi is the best-developed actress. Zhang Huiwen is a fellow of Deng Chao, and she also starred in Zhang Yimou's "Return", which is not bad.

Peng Yichang has starred in "Operation Red Sea" and "Mysterious Superstar", and will soon serve as the host of the popular variety show "Longing for Life". He is also the best-developed young generation under the group.

The three of them were all called by Tang Yan to wash the vegetables, and the two young men, Lan Yingying and Wu Lei, could follow Tang An to decorate the house.

But now they all like to praise their fellow villagers. Apart from Liu Haoran, the newcomers that Deng Chao favors are Peng Yichang and Zhang Huiwen who are also from Jiangnan Province.

Now Tang Yan is also planning to praise these two fellow villagers, as expected, no matter what industry or era, they are all the same.

After the work is assigned, they will each be busy with their own work.

Tang An led the others to post couplets, hang lanterns, and rows of colorful lights were hung on the bank of the artificial river in the front yard.

While working, I also chatted with them casually.

"Deng Chao, how many films do you have now?"

""Now Now You See Me 2", "Scorching Sun", "Villain Angel", "Passing Through Your World", and "Mermaid", there are currently only five of them." Deng Chao quickly gave the answer. The continuous rotation has basically never stopped in the past few years, but he was exhausted to death.

He took on five movies at the same time, and they were all absolute protagonists. This is not something ordinary people can handle, and if they fail, they will collapse.

"You have to pay attention to rest. There are five films in succession. If there is a problem with the shooting progress of any one, other films will also be affected. You must make a sound plan."

After exhorting, Tang An looked at the child who was working seriously next to him.

"Your name is Wu Lei, right? I remember playing Nezha?"

"It's Tang Dong, who played Nezha in "Fengshen Bang" in 05." Wu Lei answered honestly.

"Still studying, the book must be read well, don't rush to take on so many dramas at such a young age." Tang An said a few words casually.

Although Wu Lei is still young, when Tang An sees him, he thinks of the TV series "Fights Break Sphere", which has become a joke adapted from the novel.

The phrase fighting spirit and turning into a horse has become a hot search, and other lines such as "fighting the emperor ahead, dare to dismount and fight" were also constantly ridiculed by the audience.

It took more than an hour to arrange the inside and outside of the house, and it has a bit of a new year.

Tang An then came to the kitchen to check how the lunch preparations were going.

Eight or nine people were busy in the kitchen, some were washing vegetables, some were chopping vegetables, some were holding spatulas.

It wasn't until close to noon that the meals for more than a dozen people were all finished.

When the food was served, everyone was seated. Tang An picked up his wine glass and stood up, and said with a smile, "Let's respect the four chefs for your hard work in preparing such a table of food."

"Come on, do it!"

After two more drinks together, Tang An began to look at the table of food.

"Our dishes today are really rich. This braised pork is oily and red. It looks like the authentic Red Roast Pork in Shanghai. The blood duck made by Wan Qian is also good. The lotus root pork rib soup is stewed by Wang Kai. Well, the smell is very strong, and "

Tang An commented on the dishes made by the three of them one by one. It was obvious that there were a few dishes on the table that were a little different in appearance from the others, probably made by Zhao Liying.

Although the appearance is not good, it is still possible to taste the taste.

"These dishes from Liying are also delicious." Tang An also praised them.

It's just that Zhao Liying looked at her own cooking, and then looked at other people's dishes, which was a bit interesting.

It doesn't matter, as long as you can eat it.

"Let's start, I'm hungry after working all morning."

It took nearly two hours to eat a lively lunch, and the more people there were, the slower it was to eat.

After dinner, I play cards, drink tea, sing and so on, or go to the screening room to watch movies, which are just released today, so I can watch them at home.

They also ate dinner at Tang An's, and after six o'clock, they went back to their respective homes.

The Spring Festival of 2015 has just passed, and Tang An's family has returned to calm, but the boom in the domestic film market has just begun.
