Chapter 152: Players Behind the Scenes
Louis Koo appeared, which was far darker and thinner than the ones on TV. To be honest, it looked a bit old and his Mandarin was not very good.
After a brief greeting, sitting down to chat, Johnson Johnson briefly introduced the purpose of the visit. Sure enough, Louis Koo, who was originally a little cold, finally became warm.
Gradually, the atmosphere became harmonious. Johnson took the initiative to ask about the other party’s years of charity experience. It turned out that there was a private fund and he found professionals to operate it. He basically did not crowdfund it to the public. Sometimes friends around him would donate money to do charity together.
"I still remember how much pressure I was under when the news of being sentenced to the teaching institute when I was young!" Louis Koo recalled with a smile: "No one dared to approach me at that time, and he had no confidence. He didn't dare to walk out except filming."
"I didn't even dare to buy food in the company. I sat alone, didn't dare to speak, and I couldn't imagine what other people looked at me. I thought I would disappear in this industry at that time."
"In the dark days, two people appeared around me: Mrs. Liang Jiashu, and the other one was Huang Jiying. I will always remember that the savior in my career was Barbara. Because she had confidence in me, she was willing to give me a bowl of rice when she was at the worst, and I didn't even have to eat. It was because I didn't die because of her."
"So why I still stay on the wireless right now? That's the reason. As long as she is there, I will stay. She leaves, I leave immediately. It's that simple. Many people sing behind me, saying that I'm wiping sister's shoes and want to film a drama."
"Actually, I was shooting more than a dozen movies outside last year, and I never had a break. I was so tired. But as soon as she spoke, she asked me to shoot something, and started work immediately. In short, everyone who has kindness to me will not forget."
Daniel Wu happened to enter the door and looked at his old friend who was talking in surprise. You should know that few people can talk about his worries so relaxedly.
Johnson naturally empathized with it and couldn't help but talk about his own experience. He was a worldly person and had a closer relationship.
"Don't just chat, I'm so happy today, try my new skills!" Daniel Wu smiled and served a few plates of sushi and introduced: "The restaurant's specialty is that Edomae sushi is coated with ancient sauce on Yuzuko, and traditional craftsmanship produces three major sushi representatives, including sushi, roll sushi and oshi, and the essence is integrated into creative sushi full of trends."
"The sashimi of the citrus juice mainly based on fresh flavor, cut into thin slices, spread with tuna crumble and black roe, and drizzle with citrus juice, which is quite a summer flavor..."
Johnson looked at the sushi, California hand rolls and fire-roasted salmon hand rolls in front of him. The upper layer was rich in ingredients and the lower layer of white rice was evenly dropping. From top to bottom, from outside to inside, the production was quite well-made and the appearance was good.
The appetizer is crab roe salad, which is very fresh and blends with salad dressing and island cucumber, with a crisp and sweet taste...
Prawn tempura rolls, golden batter wrapped in the red of shrimp, natural and attractive, with crispy and long-lasting texture...
Butter corn sails stands on the butter, with rich butter, although greasy and inevitable, the sweet corn grains decorated with sporadic texture are neutral and have a good taste.
Especially the lobster salad, crab stick, Tamako sushi, which is very layered, the lobster salad is sweet and sour, and the crab stick is real, and the tamako is sweet but not greasy and firm. At the suggestion of Daniel Wu, use the vertical taste method of a layered cake to take one bite, and the complex taste of sweet, sour, salty and fresh...
The Edo Mae Cuckoo Sashimi is known as the beauty of Bentley among shrimps. It is said to be the queen's exclusive seafood supply. The transparent crushed ice presents a bright and fresh color and crystal clear appearance, and the pure natural and pollution-free feeling is vividly revealed in front of you.
Take a bite and be instantly brought to the rippling blue waves, clear sky, and intoxicating place by the sweet and delicate delicacies...
Seeing that the guests were satisfied, Daniel Wu smiled and sat down and introduced: "The so-called Edo Forbidden City has a few different meanings. According to the literal meaning, it is the front of the coast of Tokyo Bay. The Edo area was Tokyo in ancient times and was once a famous fishing concentration place."
"The seafood, shrimp, shellfish, eels and octopus caught there were gradually given the term Edo, proving the origin. Another meaning is diligence, which describes ancient sushi chefs who had to start working early in the morning because of their lack of transportation and freezing technology. They devoted themselves to fresh ingredients to try their best to keep the food fresh and bring out the best taste of the ingredients."
"Holding sushi is the highest level. You can pinch fresh fish fillets on the spot, with strict ingredients and numerous processes. The graceful taste that is finally presented is closely related to the rigorous proportion of each link."
"In a good sushi restaurant in the island country, the chef will start making it after taking a seat. According to the different food and rhythm of each guest, the overall rhythm will be controlled, and even the guests will be required to arrive on time. Even the seat arrangement will vary from person to person."
"In the order of sushi, the taste is from light to thick, and the serving rhythm is controlled by the chef. Because Edogawa sushi has been applied with a thin layer of mustard between the ingredients and the vinegar rice, we will also remind customers to use the side of the ingredients to dip the soy sauce when eating, and the less, the better..."
The topic turned into food, and Louis Koo was silent for a moment, just listening quietly. Daniel Wu and Johnson had a lot of fun chatting. A meal lasted for more than three hours, leaving contact information and making an appointment to do charity together.
On the way back, I sighed: Birds of a feather flock together!
They are all simple people who just want to do their own things well. Whether it is Louis Koo or Daniel Wu, acting is just a profession to support his family, as well as a private life, daily fitness, tasting wine, and making delicious food by yourself, that's all.
After meeting a few so-called comedians, I found that the stage was full of glory, the stage was taciturn, and even a little autistic.
No wonder many comedy masters chose to commit suicide in the end, and devoted all their energy to the stage and the audience, leaving only depression and loneliness!
I slowly realized what the master often said: A gentleman’s friendship is as light as water!
There is no conflict of interests, they get along with each other cleanly, and they are simply fellow fellows.
Enjoy delicious food together, do charity together, and live a simple life.
Meet these kind of friends more often,
Good!
I was idle in the afternoon and came to Jiamutang in Central China to see the collection style of Queen Huanghuali.
Entering the exhibition hall, I found a professional tour guide named Amy to accompany me, and for the first time I appreciated Huanghuali furniture in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Any ring chair is a heavy tool worth tens of millions.
"In the Ming-style furniture collection industry in Hong Kong, there are four great kings. Two of them are famous doctors who are well-known. The remaining one is a heroine in the furniture collection industry, and the last one is a wealthy financial industry who loves women deeply."
Amy accompanied Johnson to start the tour and introduced it in fluent Mandarin: "Mr. Ye Chengyao and his Yushanfang are known as the King of Huanghuali. Although they are over 80 years old, they are still practicing and are the best dermatologist."
"In three years, almost all of our time and savings have been invested, and 68 pieces of Ming-style furniture mainly consisting of Huanghuali. Currently, there are more than 160 pieces of Ming-style furniture, complete and grand. "
"Most of them are made of yellow rosewood, red sandalwood, ebony and other materials, and 95% were purchased from our Jiamutang in the 1980s and 1990s."
Johnson Chan was stunned. It turned out that the queen was the real mastermind?
Chapter completed!
