Chapter 489 Yangchun Noodles
Cui Ruhai, the master of Hangzhou cuisine, originally asked Zhang Hehuan to give him a cameo appearance in a certain film and television drama, but he never thought that Zhang Hehuan wanted him to star in a TV drama.
"Then I can't." Master Cui shook his head like a rattle.
Zhang Hehuan laughed and said, "Why can't it work?"
"I'm just a chef. It's okay if you let me make a guest appearance. If you let me be the protagonist, I don't have that ability."
Zhang Hehuan said: "You don't have any ability to perform in a true way. You are still like what you usually do."
"A true performance?"
Zhang Hehuan said: "Let's go, I'll take you to our shooting base to see it. You'll understand after you go."
Cui Ruhai and Zhang Hehuan went to the studio in Xinxingyuan. In fact, it was an abandoned factory next to Linjiang Cultural and Creative Park. Because there was no demolition plan for the time being, Zhang Hehuan accidentally walked by there and asked Luo Peihong to rent it. The total area is about 50 acres, with a lease period of 20 years, and the price is very cheap...
Zhang Hehuan’s idea was to build this place into a small-scale exterior base, under construction.
Guo Kaixuan was in charge of the supervisor inside, and Zhang Hehuan called him over. Guo Kaixuan smiled and said, "Master Cui is here."
Cui Ruhai said: "Don't call me a master, it sounds like a fraudster."
Several people laughed.
Zhang Hehuan said: "Have the hotel been built?"
Guo Kaixuan nodded and pointed to the front right.
Cui Ruhai walked over and found that this was a commercial street about 20 meters away. Of course, it was a set, some of which were real and some fake, and most of them were doors. However, because the landscape was finer, it looked like it was real.
Guo Kaixuan stopped at a light box where the late night canteen was written: "It's here, as you said, it has been renovated."
The shop's door is real. Walking in through the open door, the back is a studio that is transformed by the workshop. The studio is completely decorated in a restaurant. It is not large in area, but it is decorated simply and warmly.
Yang Xi and Rao Xiaozhi were sitting inside drinking coffee. Since the location base was established, they have become the back garden of the New Star Domain.
Seeing Zhang Hehuan come in, the two of them quickly stood up and greeted: "Mr. Zhang!"
Zhang Hehuan laughed and said, "How do you feel here?"
Rao Xiaozhi said: "It's great. We have this outdoor base for a long time. If we shoot "Phone", we don't have to rent other people's places, and the cost can be further reduced." The first thing he thinks about now is the cost.
Zhang Hehuan said: "You have saved money for the company."
Yang Xi said: "Mr. Zhang, we are talking about your book."
Zhang Hehuan said: "I have only written two episodes so far, and I plan to start filming next week."
"So fast?" the two of them said in unison, looking at each other. In fact, after reading the script, they all had the idea of directing the TV series. Because they didn't know what Zhang Hehuan meant, and both of them were present, no one was embarrassed to volunteer to be the director.
Zhang Hehuan nodded and said, "It's not fast, it's a small-cost indoor unit drama."
"Have you selected the actor?"
Zhang Hehuan glanced at Cui Ruhai and said, "It's Master Cui."
Everyone looked at Cui Ruhai, and Cui Ruhai felt a little embarrassed: "Mr. Zhang, I can't do it." After correcting it a few times, others still called him Master, probably they were just calling him a smooth word, but they couldn't change it anyway.
Yang Xi said: "I think it's OK. Master Cui's appearance is very consistent with the character in the script."
Rao Xiaozhi nodded and agreed with his statement.
Zhang Hehuan said: "The protagonist, I wrote it according to Master Cui."
Choi Ruhai said: "I can't act."
Zhang Hehuan said: "The two directors are here, audition, hurry up."
Cui Ruhai was rushing the ducks to be put on the shelves today. Yang Xi called the dressmaker, his wife Wang Yuhan.
Cui Ruhai had no choice but to put on his makeup to his scalp, put on his costume, and when he came out of the dressing room, the light outside was ready.
Although Cui Ruhai is not a professional actor, his image and temperament are very good. When he put on the costume and stood at the operating table, he felt like he was immediately out.
Rao Xiaozhi said in surprise: "Uncle Cui has such a good temperament."
Zhang Hehuan said: "Nonsense, can't you become a master? This is the master-level temperament."
Yang Xi said: "The late-night cafeteria is an ordinary night market stall. The master's temperament does not match the canteen, right?"
Zhang Hehuan said: "There can't be masters in the night market? It's the kind of style that you must hide in the city."
Gu Dao/span> Cui Ruhai smiled and said, "You young guys don't make fun of me. Have you seen enough? After seeing enough, I will take off the costumes and avoid getting dirty."
Zhang Hehuan said, "Don't delay, there's no test show yet."
Choi Ruhai said: "I can't act."
Rao Xiaozhi said: "If you wear it all, just try it. Anyway, there are no lines in the episode I have on hand."
Yang Xi said, "I don't have a few sentences in this episode." The two looked at each other and suddenly realized the cleverness of the script. They combined Cui Ruhai's set with a human body, not a late-night canteen and this chef. Each episode changes different diners, eat and chat here, and feel life.
Rao Xiaozhi handed the script to Cui Ruhai and asked Cui Ruhai to see it. Cui Ruhai read the script and didn't have a few lines throughout the article, just cooking. He is so good at this.
Cui Ruhai finished watching it quickly, and he said a little strangely: "There are only two actors in total, one is made and the other is eaten, and then chat?"
Zhang Hehuan nodded: "Master Cui, you can find your feelings and audition later."
Choi Ruhai said: "How do I act alone?"
Zhang Hehuan laughed: "Okay, I'll go change my clothes, can I play for you, right?"
Zhang Hehuan waved to Rao Xiaozhi, and Rao Xiaozhi followed him over, and Zhang Hehuan whispered: "Real shot!"
Rao Xiaozhi was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted. Anyway, even if the actual filming of such a drama is not expensive.
When Zhang Hehuan went to make up and change clothes, Rao Xiaozhi talked to Cui Ruhai. He told Cui Ruhai not to be nervous, and he would do whatever he should do, and do whatever he felt comfortable and how he could perform his condition.
Cui Ruhai usually cooks in the kitchen. Standing in the kitchen, he feels that he is the center of the world, and he is at ease with pots and pans in his hand.
Rao Xiaozhi told him that the kitchen utensils inside were all real, so he told him not to act like a performance, so he gave the diners late at night, that is, Zhang Hehuan, a bowl of noodles.
Inspired by him, Cui Ruhai began to understand.
The story of this episode is very simple. On a heavy rainy night, a young man wet from the rain walked into the late-night cafeteria. He ordered a bowl of noodles and made some requests. He talked to the uncle about a past event. He had a first love, and the girl often cooked for him, and the deepest thing he felt was a bowl of spring noodles.
Zhang Hehuan plays the decadent young man. Cui Fuhai thought that since this is already the case, he might as well show them. In fact, it is not called a acting. Ask the guests what they have and then cook and cook.
The conversation started was very dull, just like the daily life of countless small restaurants. After Cui Ruhai understood the customer's request, he turned around and went to the kitchen.
Yang Xi observed Rao Xiaozhi's directorial technique, which was very simple, just like a straightforward documentary. This was related to Zhang Hehuan's requirements, try to be as plain and simple as possible and lively as possible.
For Cui Ruhai, cooking is much easier than acting, because after reading the script, he knew that this was a decadent and lost young man. He first forgot that he was acting and that the other person was Zhang Hehuan. Faced with such a lonely young man, he wanted to use a bowl of spring noodles to warm the diner's stomach and heal his heart. Food can really heal a person.
Cui Ruhai abandoned the distracting thoughts in his heart and focused on making that bowl of noodles.
Yang Xi helped to take the camera, and Rao Xiaozhi was responsible for dispatching and commanding on the spot. It didn't take many staff to shoot such indoor dramas. When the camera was pushed to the close-up and saw Cui Ruhai's serious expression and focused gaze, they immediately understood why Zhang Hehuan insisted on using a non-professional person as the protagonist.
Being an actor, Choi Ruhai is not the most professional, but he is a chef.
The fragrance was everywhere. When the staff on the scene smelled the fragrance, they couldn't help but drool out one by one, and then swallowed the saliva at the same time.
Cui Ruhai personally brought the bowl of noodles to Zhang Hehuan.
Zhang Hehuan took a bite of noodles, and his expression changed layer by layer. He started to be silent, then began to smile, and then smiled with tears in his smile. He choked and said, "Uncle, I tasted the familiar taste, it seems that Xiaowei was back to me."
Cui Ruhai showed a warm smile: "I believe you will have a chance to meet again."
Zhang Hehuan said sadly: "What is goodbye? Is it a goodbye or a promise to meet next time, but how many people have finished their last meeting before they can say goodbye."
"Isn't it good to think simple? Just like this bowl of noodles in front of you, it can heal your hunger and give you a little warmth in the autumn night. Isn't that enough?"
"Xiao Wei is dead..."
...
Seeing this, many staff members started to cry. Damn it! Why did the test show start filming? Why did the healing show suddenly start to be a tragedy?
"In fact, death is not the opposite of life, but forever as a part of life. You remember this bowl of spring noodles and her goodness. I believe she will be watching you quietly somewhere in the night sky, hoping you will cheer up and hope you will be happy."
Zhang Hehuan was completely involved in the show and said with tears in his eyes: "I am lonely!"
"It doesn't matter if you are alone. As long as you can love someone from the bottom of your heart, life will be saved, even if you can't be with her in this life."
Choi Ruhai was completely integrated into the role and had no performance. In the eyes of the two directors, this was already the most advanced performance.
Rao Xiaozhi and Yang Xi have the urge to kneel down for Zhang Hehuan. Damn, no wonder they can be a boss at a young age and make the new star field so awesome. This is a great god. The scripts written casually are the top standards in the industry. When it comes to sensationalism and pretentiousness, no one can compare to him.
In the past, Zhang Hehuan directly brought the script of "Late Night Cafeteria", but now it is different. He has the ability to create three levels of creative skills, and a little change can raise the style up to a higher level. This is his "Late Night Cafeteria" P-S, which integrates Haruki Murakami's life insights into it.
