Chapter 248 Mix and match style Cao Ji private restaurant
During his more than a year in Xiangjiang, Chef Cao has learned a lot of dishes from other cuisines, as well as Western food, which he has improved. Now, there are often one or two dishes from other cuisines or improved versions of Western food on the restaurant's daily menu.
New dishes appear,
For an old-school traditional restaurant, Caoji's private restaurant seems a bit deviant. However, for customers who come to consume, it greatly improves the diversity of dishes during meals and is widely praised by customers.
While everyone was eating and chatting, they brought up the topic just now, the development potential of the mainland. Naturally, Sun Dahai was the one who knew the future development best, but he didn't say much.
Nowadays, Hong Kong's economy is developed and the entertainment industry is booming. Since everyone is accustomed to low-cost small productions, the income of artists and related staff is very low.
Therefore, although Xiangjiang currently produces many film, television and song works every year, the local market of Xiangjiang and the Southeast Asian market can still maintain this kind of development.
But later, with the influx of hot money, all kinds of shoddy works were produced in large quantities. Various themes were swarmed on the market, and the homogeneity was very serious.
Actors and singers are so busy running around that they have no time to settle down, enrich themselves, and improve their acting and singing skills.
Actors often work in several dramas at the same time and rush to shows frequently. Singers, on the other hand, are arranged by the company to have a large number of concerts, and they often work in movies, TV shows and singing, regardless of whether they can act or not, as long as they can make money.
In a market economy, consumers can vote with their feet. After what can be called a classic golden decade, Hong Kong's entertainment industry has inevitably slid into a trough.
With the strong impact of Hollywood, coupled with the vigorous development of the entertainment industry in mainland China, Japan, Bangzi and other countries, the former hegemon in the Asian entertainment industry has gradually disappeared from the public.
Currently, Wanwan is the largest foreign market for Hong Kong's film and television music productions after Xiangjiang itself. In view of the relationship between Wanwan and the mainland, Fa Ge and the others do not dare to go too far easily.
Next year, Tony Leung Ka-fai, who was the first to take advantage of the situation, was banned by the Taiwanese authorities because he was the first actor to go to mainland China to film the Hong Kong film and refused to write a letter of repentance.
Even though he won the Best Actor Award at the 3rd Hong Kong Film Awards, no film company dared to cast him. The couple set up a street stall in Hong Kong and sold homemade handicrafts for more than a year.
For the Hong Kong film and television industry to truly reach out to the mainland, it will have to wait until next year after the mainland and Britten sign a joint communique on the Hong Kong issue.
From that time on, leaders in the Xiangjiang business community began to go to the mainland one after another, or establish contact with the mainland through other means. Among them were Shao Liushu of Wireless and the boss of Jiahe.
Co-productions between the Mainland and Hong Kong became very popular in the mid-to-late 1980s. Due to loose policies, the Hong Kong crew who came to the Mainland for co-productions not only made a lot of money, but also enjoyed super-national treatment.
Although Sun Dahai didn't say anything, the grand opening ceremony of the Peace of Time still gave a few people a big impact. At least they have realized that the real situation in the mainland is different from what they had in mind.
Sun Dahai himself didn't even realize that his appearance was the most critical factor in changing Fa Ge's views.
Although everyone does not know the share composition of Lan Kwai Fong Development Management Company and how much money Sun Dahai has. But if we talk about the value of Lan Kwai Fong's shares, compared to when they met last year, it is not a problem to have a hundredfold premium.
Therefore, Sun Dahai actively helped everyone connect, but he did not invest in Niu Jinghao himself, which became strong evidence that he looked down on such a small amount of money.
In the end, Sun Dahai just gave everyone a suggestion: if you have time, everyone should learn Mandarin. There is no harm in whether it is a pure actor like Fa Ge Hong Gu or Leslie Cheung with comprehensive development.
Fa Ge said with a grimace: "I am actually still learning English in my spare time. I hope that one day I can enter Hollywood. It is really hard to learn Mandarin again~!"
No one else present had this problem. Zhong Chuhong has a muddling-through temperament, and as an actress, it is very difficult to be an A-level heroine in Hollywood, so she is not interested in learning languages.
Leslie Cheung has studied abroad in Britten for several years. If it had not been for changes in his family, he would have studied there until he graduated from college. English has no pressure on him.
As for the little lolita Wen Bixia, she is now a fourth-year student, and studying is her current occupation.
Sun Dahai couldn't help but sigh. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Everyone knows Fa Ge's subsequent glory, but now he is at the lowest point in his life.
Most of the films he made in the past few years were literary and artistic films that were well-received but not well-received. By the next year, he was even more reluctant to win nominations and awards, and was called "box office poison". Until "A Better Tomorrow" in 1986
" was released, which freed him from criticism.
After a dinner, everyone was satiated. Leslie Cheung also expressed his satisfaction with the well-mixed dishes of Cao Ji's Private Kitchen. Sun Dahai beat the snake with the stick and respectfully presented him with the VIP card of Cao Ji's Private Kitchen for future convenience.
He made a reservation over the phone.
Fa Ge and Leslie Cheung had a car, so Sun Dahai sent them into the car and left. Hong Gu and Wen Bixia were driven home by Ren Zhifeng.
Sun Dahai returned upstairs and found Wu Dawei here, rummaging through the refrigerator for something to eat. Sun Dahai ran out all the time in the past few days, and the refrigerator at home was empty.
Sun Dahai took him down to the restaurant, made him mushroom and egg fried rice, and heated up a few more dishes to fill his stomach.
"Why are you so embarrassed? How long have you been hungry?" Sun Dahai was teasing Wu Dawei.
Wu Dawei was so angry that he almost spat out the food in his mouth. It turned out that he was going to pick up a Malaysian customer's ship today. Due to a temporary inspection of his belongings, he waited from noon until now to settle down the customer.
After Sun Dahai came to Xiangjiang, he told Wu Dawei to buy some locally processed golden blood swallows from Malaysia or Indonesia as gifts.
There are a group of elderly people in Sun Dahai's family, including Jiang Xiuping, grandpa and grandma, and Mr. Huang, as well as several grandparents who I met in Beidaihe.
He has been away for more than a month this time, but he still wants to bring some gifts back. Bird's nest is not only a valuable delicacy, but also a precious medicinal material. Its function is to nourish the lungs and nourish yin. It is suitable for the elderly, pregnant women and infants. It is good for physical weakness after surgery.
It also has very good health effects.
Bird's nest has mild medicinal properties and is widely applicable, so it is really a good gift. Among them, golden blood swallow is the best. Sun Dahai, who is not short of money, naturally has a demand for golden blood swallow. The more the better.
When the young boss made a request, Wu Dawei would naturally prepare it carefully. Taking advantage of the fact that the mainland's economy is not yet developed, there are not many people buying, so he bought more than ten boxes of inventory from customers at once, each box containing a net content of 100
Grams of dry food are enough for those who receive the gifts to eat for a while.
It turns out that this is the case. Sun Dahai realized that Wu Dawei is still a good comrade~!
