Pingyao beef is a specialty here. At first glance, it looks similar to the salted beef sold at the cooked food stalls on the streets of Beijing.
It’s just that the authentic Pingyao beef is very particular about the selection of materials, marinating and pot cooking. If you use the words often used in food programs to describe it, it would probably be: ruddy in color, fresh and tender in texture, fat but not greasy, lean but not dry.
Mellow and delicious.
Jia Yonghua's food is delicious. The beef restaurant he is looking for is said to be the oldest and most famous restaurant in Pingyao. The pot of old soup used to cook the beef is said to have been in flames for seven generations for nearly two hundred years. The beef sold here is excellent regardless of its taste.
The taste is obviously better.
Especially the tendon meat, which is interlaced with tendons, is elastic and delicious, and the taste is really amazing.
After tasting it, he specially dragged Jia Yonghua's apprentice to buy several pieces of beef tendon, each weighing more than two kilograms. After vacuum packaging, he expressly sent it to his girlfriend.
He Xin has a foodie girlfriend, and He Xin has already developed a habit. Whenever there is something delicious, he will always think of his girlfriend immediately and share it together.
But after this meal, He Xin clearly felt that Sister Qinqin, who always liked to quarrel with him, had become cold towards him, and she was usually indifferent to him.
Fortunately, during this period, he has been busy filming scenes opposite Ma Yili. From the incompatibility before and after taking the exam to the death of his brother, he had to give up writing and go into business and take charge of the family business. At the same time, he was forced to deal with the Lu family, a wealthy businessman in Shanxi, because of his family's unsolved difficulties.
It's hard to separate after marriage.
After these scenes are filmed, he will part ways with Commander Ma, and Commander Ma will spend his whole life seeking revenge against him.
…
"I seem to have seen you somewhere?"
He Xin sniffed as he spoke and said, "What does it smell like? It's so fragrant?"
"This is the perfume sent from France by the head shopkeeper of our Parisian company."
"Perfume? What is perfume?"
After reading this dialogue, He Xin put down the script in his hand helplessly, looked at Jiang Qinqin, who always had a cold expression and his lines were emotionless, and said: "Sister Qinqin, please tell me where I offended you.
It’s your fault, can’t I change it?”
Jiang Qinqin turned her head indifferently and muttered softly: "Why are you pretending to be stupid?"
"What?"
He Xin didn't hear clearly.
"It's nothing, is it okay?"
If you don't get enough oil and salt, why do you think this woman is so angry?
In fact, he knew very well in his heart that it was nothing more than an open and covert fight between two women. He was caught in the middle and suffered the unlucky disaster of being a fish in a pond.
He also couldn't understand. Jiang Qinqin looked thirty years old and had been in this industry for more than ten years. How could she still be willful like a little girl?
She is not at all as gentle and lovely as she looks.
All the good words are useless!
He is inevitably a little irritated. If the other party were his girlfriend, he would be happy to be a lowly person, but now he is too lazy to accompany her. This is what this woman is like, the more you give in, the more they will push their limits.
"Forget it, no, there are only a few words anyway." He threw the script on the table and said with waning interest.
However, after thinking about it, he still said to Jiang Qinqin who was sitting opposite: "Sister Qinqin, you have to be more careful when the actual shooting is going on."
"Thank you, Teacher He, for reminding me!"
Although the words were nice, the tone was obviously wrong. Why did it sound so harsh?
Yes, good intentions are regarded as the liver and lungs of a donkey, and he is too talkative.
"Then get busy!"
No matter how good-tempered he was, he could not be arrogant. He replied coldly, "Jiu Ba Jun Ba script," got up and left.
Jiang Qinqin's assistant Lu Xiaojia, who had been standing nearby without uttering a word, looked at He Xin's back as he went out and asked worriedly: "Sister, is this appropriate for you to treat Teacher He?"
While speaking, he quickly handed over a pink thermos cup.
Jiang Qinqin unscrewed the lid of the cup and snorted disapprovingly: "Tch, what's inappropriate?"
Although it was indeed unreasonable for her to lose her temper at He Xin this time, she was not as brainless as the cool girl in later generations. She knew that He Xin was easy to bully.
As for why she lost her temper, she couldn't even explain it herself. It seemed that she felt uncomfortable and had to make He Xin feel uncomfortable too. It seemed that only in this way did she feel...still uncomfortable!
Her sense of taste has always been very sensitive. After taking a sip of tea, she couldn't help but frown and asked, "Did you add chrysanthemum, wolfberry, and other things to this tea?"
Lu Xiaojia chuckled and said, "Sister, did you drink it? I don't think you've been very angry these past two days, so I added some cassia seeds."
Jiang Qinqin rolled her eyes at the assistant, but the tea had a slightly bitter taste, but it had a unique flavor. She took another sip, then put down the cup and told the assistant: "Go find Xiao Cai, I want to confront her."
Correspondence."
Xiao Cai is a junior student at Nortel and a newcomer. She plays her personal maid Xing'er in the play. Like Zhang Yi and Ma Yong beside He Xin, she is a through-line character with sporadic roles.
Jiang Qinqin's scene today is very important, and the most important thing is that there is also a highlight scene with He Xin in the bridal chamber.
"Second Master, are you... having a quarrel with Second Grandma?"
Seeing He Xin walking out of the house with a stinky face, Zhang Yi, who had been guarding the door, quickly followed. He was now used to bowing his head and hunching his back. He took small steps quickly and took a look at He Xin's face.
, asked cautiously.
Now he has another stuttering character, which he boldly designed himself.
To be honest, as he is also a follower, his role is not as good as that of Ma Yong who plays Chang Shuan. Chang Shuan played by Ma Yong also has a love line with Cuihua, the maid next to Ma Yili, which serves as a bridge of communication between the masters.
, and at the same time, it can be regarded as a little compensation for the regret that the two hosts they represent have lovers and it is difficult to get married.
After all, Ma Yong is a direct descendant of the director, so it is normal for him to be biased in his roles. Of course, Zhang Yi also has his own little ideas, such as secretly designing a stuttering characteristic for himself, which in a sense magnifies the character.
The characteristics of the body make the character more outstanding.
In fact, most directors hate this kind of behavior of adding scenes to themselves without permission. Fortunately, He Xin helped to speak, so Hu Mei didn't say anything.
Zhang Yi is so indifferent now that he is almost obsessive and even takes away Lu Xiao's job. Now Xiao Luzi can hardly get in touch with He Xin except driving, because there are many
Changshun, who nodded and bowed all day long, and only saw "Second Master" in his eyes, was snatched away from his job.
Xiao Luzi was not angry. On the contrary, he admired Zhang Yi's persistence. Looking at Zhang Yi's current appearance, it was difficult to connect him with the original Zhang who had a straight back and acted like a soldier.
He once dreamed of becoming an actor, and worked as an extra for a period of time. Later, he found that he was not the material, so he moved behind the scenes to work in live production.
Now that he saw Zhang Yi's persistence, he really regretted it. If he had worked as hard as Brother Zhang, he might have been able to realize his dream.
At the beginning, Zhang Yi became the laughing stock of the crew. Some said he was unconventional, while others said he was flattering He Xin. Because when He Xin first joined the crew, he ran to Qiao's courtyard all day long, alone.
People who talk too much are secretly called "acting lunatics".
And Zhang Yi obviously did something even more outrageous, almost the same in and out of the play, or in other words, he was always immersed in the character Chang Shun and refused to act.
If you are a famous actor and the protagonist in a play, if you can do what Zhang Yi does, you will only get praise. Everyone will think that you are dedicated and sincere about your performance; but if it falls to Zhang Yi,
It became a pretense.
I have to say that this is the tragedy of a young actor.
Unexpectedly, Ma Yong gave up after a few days of persistence. Because he starred in Han Yan in the popular "Emperor of Han Dynasty" not long ago, he is now somewhat famous. Maybe he feels that being like Zhang Yi is too embarrassing.
separated.
Some people secretly wanted to watch the show and see how long this pretentious guy could last. But as time went by, everyone began to lose their composure.
They are all knowledgeable. When the film was first launched, Zhang Yi's performance may have been a bit green and exaggerated, but his progress was visible to the naked eye. And he persisted from beginning to end, which made people admire him.
His persistence in performing has even given him the nickname "Little Act Madman".
This is equivalent to evaluating him as a smaller He Xin, even though he is still two years older than He Xin.
The only one who was not surprised from the beginning was He Xin. Not only was he not disgusted with Zhang Yi's behavior of following him, he even thanked him. It was Zhang Yi's indifferent existence that made him
I often subconsciously enter into the character of Qiao Zhiyong.
At this moment, facing Zhang Yi's cautious inquiry, he seemed to be possessed by Qiao Zhiyong. He glanced back at the room, flicked his sleeves, and cursed: "What's wrong!"
…
Qiao Family Courtyard, Courtyard No. 5.
This courtyard is probably the most famous courtyard in the entire Qiao family compound, because Gong Li lived in this courtyard in "Raise the Red Lantern".
Now it has naturally become the main scene of the TV series "Qiao Family Courtyard".
"All departments prepare!"
"A!"
Jiang Qinqin stood leaning against the door, with sadness and sorrow on her face.
This scene tells the story of Jiang Qinqin who was disheartened in the face of He Xin's cold violence and decided to return to her parents' home overnight.
But due to the eldest grandma's obstruction, she decided to give He Xin another chance. If He Xin didn't step into the bridal chamber, she would give up completely.
"Miss! Miss!"
At this time, her girl Xing'er ran into the yard happily and started shouting from afar: "The second master is here!"
Jiang Qinqin's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this. Just like Xing'er who was panting heavily, her breathing became rapid and her chest kept rising and falling.
He was stunned in front of the camera for a long time.
"Come!"
She suddenly grabbed Xing'er's hand and ran into the house.
She ran to the mirror, paused in her steps, and looked at the big 囍 on the mirror. She could no longer suppress the grievance and excitement in her heart. She bit her lip, her shoulders kept shaking, and she burst into tears.
It overflowed from the eye sockets and fell down the cheeks.
"Tsk!"
He Xin, who was standing behind the director and staring at the monitor screen, subconsciously smacked his lips in surprise.
She is truly worthy of being called "Girl Joan". The tears come at every turn, and they are so large that they feel like they are free of money.
It was the first time since he was filming that he saw an actress crying so much during a scene.
"Miss!"
Xing'er, who was so excited just now, was dumbfounded now, and cautiously walked over: "Are you crying? Why are you crying, miss?"
Jiang Qinqin suddenly turned around and faced the camera. Although her tears were still falling and her voice was choked with sobs, she couldn't help but smile.
