Chapter 12 Rejection?
The next day.
Eleven o'clock noon.
Diner filming location.
Ye Chen had already been prepared.
It is indeed an added drama.
Thirteen lines.
And this time, there is a separate camera focused on him, and he can even show his face.
This kind of opportunity is a very rare experience for a low-level actor who has just graduated for more than a year and has been playing small roles.
especially.
Today I am going to make a dish for the state banquet.
Boiled cabbage.
Although the Wensi tofu dish I made yesterday is also one of the state banquet dishes.
But compared with boiled cabbage, the former is much simpler.
in the kitchen.
The national chef style in Ye Chen came out.
Following the loud "Action" from the scene, the knife in Ye Chen's hand immediately started to move.
Boiled cabbage is one of the top ten classic dishes in Sichuan.
The method is also very cumbersome.
The so-called "boiling water" inside is actually not "boiling water", but the clearest chicken soup.
For this soup, ingredients such as old hens, old ducks, ham hooves, ribs, and scallops are mixed into a boiling pot, and seasonings such as cooking wine, onions, and garlic are added to prepare the soup.
Chop the chicken breast until minced, add fresh soup and stir into a slurry, pour it into the pot to absorb impurities.
After repeated adsorption for two or three times, the chicken soup in the pot that was slightly turbid is now as clear and clear as boiling water, with a rich and mellow aroma, not greasy or greasy, refreshing.
For Chinese cabbage, use uncooked Chinese cabbage as the raw material, and only use the tender heart that turns yellow in the middle. After slightly blanching, rinse it with clean water to remove the fishy smell, and then pour it with "boiling water" chicken soup until it is cooked. .
Of course, the clear soup that has been blanched with cabbage should be discarded. Place the blanched cabbage heart on the bottom of the bowl, and gently pour in fresh chicken soup. This one-of-a-kind boiled cabbage dish is ready! This dish looks very simple, but it is time-consuming and laborious to prepare. It took a whole morning for Ye Chen to barely finish it.
……
Lunch time.
The food in the small restaurant was in full swing.
The director and assistant director, plus the heroine and Marven sat at the same table.
The main dish on the table is boiled cabbage.
The fresh aroma and pure white color of the chicken make people appetizing.
It tastes soft and smooth, with a delicious aroma.
The cabbage melts in the mouth, and the deliciousness of the chicken soup explodes in the user's mouth, as if it is blooming its perfect life.
Everyone was having a blast.
Even though Zhou Li was still very hostile to Ye Chen, her jaw almost dropped when she took a bite of this special dish selected for the state banquet.
good to eat!
too delicious.
I have never tasted such delicious food even in a five-star hotel.
Zhou Li would look at Ye Chen from time to time.
I can't figure it out, is this guy an actor, a murderer, or a cook? The director was quite satisfied with his role.
It feels like he is showing the true colors of a chef.
Therefore, during the entire filming process, Ye Chen had no trace of acting at all, and was natural and smooth, including speaking the same lines.
So realistic that you think he is a chef.
Surprising!
Maybe he is really a cook?
Later, he was admitted to the Film and Television Academy? ……
after lunch.
The director found Ye Chen personally.
The two stood in the shade of the tree.
The director had a friendly smile on his face: "Xiaoye, tell me the truth. Have you ever been a chef before? It's okay. Tell the truth. It won't affect your work here."
"No."
Ye Chen shook his head bluntly: "I've never done it before. I just worked as a bitch for a year after graduating from college. I don't have time to look for opportunities everywhere, so how can I have time to be a chef?"
"Have you really never done this before?"
"No."
"Good guy." The director said with a puzzled look on his face: "Then your skills are great. Moreover, the way you perform... is so realistic that I can't tell whether you are in a living state or an acting state."
"Thank you director for the compliment."
Ye Chen smiled lightly.
The director was dumbfounded: "Praise? I'm putting it lightly. This is not a compliment at all, really. I think you can just go for a role like a chef, it will definitely be a success."
"Let me borrow your good words."
Ye Chen smiled and then asked: "Director, my salary today..."
"Don't worry, don't worry."
The director quickly said with a gentle smile: "Xiaoye, do you think this is okay? We will change the script overnight to flesh out your character."
"Be a number five male."
"I will play the role of the heroine's guardian."
"The number of scenes depends on the situation."
"But you need to stay on the crew for about three months."
"If the effect is good, you can stop being an extra."
"I sign you."
"Don't underestimate our small crew. You have to know that there are big production companies behind this."
"When this drama is finished, I will find someone to create a chef drama for you to support. How about it? Are you interested?"
The director looked at Ye Chen expectantly.
As a result, the person didn't even hesitate at all and just shook his head: "I'm sorry, director, I'm not interested. You'd better pay today's salary."
"what?"
The director was dumbfounded.
Such a good opportunity was right in front of him, and he actually said he was not interested?
If it were another group of actors, and a director said that he would save a script for you for the next drama, and give you a solo drama support, you would probably be moved to the point of kneeling down, thanking you, and crying.
It turned out that this guy was not interested.
Are you just thinking about today’s wages? The director was also a little speechless.
After staring at Ye Chen for a long time, he slowly said, "Xiaoye, are you sure you're not interested?"
"not interested."
Ye Chen shook his head firmly.
joke.
In a month, we will go on the live broadcast stage of "What is Acting". Who is interested in playing the fifth male lead in such a low-cost, bad crew? Do you want to act opposite a heroine who pulls the strings? Save it.
The director's face dropped.
After staring at Ye Chen twice, he turned around and left.
Ye Chen was speechless.
This quality...
Not so good.
Ye Chen didn't take it seriously. The contract was signed anyway, and today's wages must be paid.
Not afraid.
After a few minutes.
The assistant director came out.
He quickly came to Ye Chen and lowered his voice and said, "Did you refuse the director's arrangement?"
"Ah."
Ye Chen nodded.
I fully expected that the assistant casting director would give a few words of sincere advice, or maybe a few words of sarcasm like the director, but the result was that this person was beyond Ye Chen's expectation.
He smiled softly and said in a low voice: "Okay, it's okay if you don't agree. Ye Chen, I like you. The temple here is small and not suitable for you to recite sutras."
"If you do this, send me a V letter."
"I'll help you find an opportunity later."
"This is today's wages."
"1500, and I'll give you an extra 800, which will be your hard-earned money for helping to cook at noon."
"Okay, go back quickly and have a rest."
Ye Chen took the money and finally smiled: "Thanks, Director Zhang."
The assistant casting director is also named Zhang Tian.
He is a warm-hearted person.
