Natural Born Winner: 173. Entertainment

Lu Zhuoxia is not afraid of hard work, which is expected by Pei Zhou. He took over the play for Lu Zhuoxia, and his purpose was to stimulate him. Pei Zhou has been in the circle for so many years, and he has a very poisonous eye. He can tell who is motivated and who has a crooked mind at a glance.

We use different methods to deal with different artists.

Although Lu Zhuoxia looks young and soft-tempered, it is not without sharpness, it is just hidden in the depths.

Pei Zhou's sense of proportion is also very good. Although with his resources and connections, it is not difficult to win the leading actor, but doing so will easily hurt the director's face and connections, and it is also not conducive to his arrangement for Lu Zhuoxia. We can set a high goal for our development, but we can't hold it too high at one time, otherwise we will be powerless and fall hard.

After successfully arousing Lu Zhuoxia's self-motivation, Pei Zhou immediately increased the acting training courses, almost filling Lu Zhuoxia's time during the day, and the tasks were heavy, compared with this , the training of the previous days was at best an appetizer.

Although the previous contract stated that he was fully responsible, Pei Zhou still talked to Miss Zhong.

Before I prepared the reason, I heard Miss Zhong on the other end of the phone say lightly, "Okay."

It doesn't matter if the intensity is higher, Xiao Han believes in Lu Zhuoxia's ability to resist pressure, he has survived all the hardships in the main world line, and he didn't fall down, not to mention these things that are beneficial to him.

Less than two days after passing the audition, Lu Zhuoxia received the script sent by the crew, and sat on the sofa in the villa to read it. Xiao Han went downstairs to pour himself a glass of water after work, and noticed Lu Zhuoxia, " What are you looking at?"

"Brother Pei accepted a drama for me." Lu Zhuoxia said honestly.

This is a modern drama, Lu Zhuoxia's role is the second male lead, and he is the owner and chef of a restaurant. Regarding the part of acting, Pei Zhou has tried to arrange the best and most intensive courses.

Because the preparation time is only half a month, Pei Zhou avoids the important and ignores the important, and helps Lu Zhuoxia analyze the script. The emotional line of the male second is actually not obvious, and it is much more subtle than that. Still let go in the end, never expressing it directly, but relying on every dish he made for the heroine and heroine.

Pei Zhou also figured it out. It is impossible for Lu Zhuoxia to compete with the heroine and heroine in acting skills in a short period of time, unless Pei Zhou misunderstood Lu Zhuoxia's acting skills, or the future More than ten years later, the actor Lu Zhuoxia was reborn.

This is all impractical.

Pei Zhou lowered his requirements, at least Lu Zhuoxia had to show a sense of presence in the play, so that the audience would recognize him as the second male role.

Xiao Han noticed some burns on Lu Zhuoxia's hands, raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong?"

Lu Zhuoxia smiled awkwardly, because she played the role of a chef who is good at Western-style Mediterranean cuisine, and was recognized by the industry at a young age, breaking the record of becoming the first Chinese chef to win the European Jasmine Cuisine Medal. age record.

Most of his scenes are in restaurants, which requires him to have a certain understanding of cooking and kitchens. Pei Zhou arranged for him a professional chef course, but he accidentally burned his hands while boiling hot water to scald potatoes.

Because of his family experience, Lu Zhuoxia has never been exposed to Western cuisine at all. If he wants to play an outstanding chef, and even perform brilliantly, Pei Zhou is also very troubled.

The only thing that is gratifying is that Lu Zhuoxia didn't complain at all, she said what to do, she didn't complain about suffering or tiredness, this is probably the most obedient artist that Pei Zhou has ever brought up.

Looking at Xiao Han's gaze still on the burnt part of his hand, Lu Zhuoxia said sincerely, "It's already been medicated." His eyes were shining brightly, making it hard to blame him.

In fact, Xiao Han wants to say that his level of wound treatment is really average, and it is obvious that Lu Zhuoxia handled it secretly by himself.

Because he couldn't bear to hit Lu Zhuoxia, Xiao Han asked instead, "What script is it?"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Han would care about such a trivial matter, Lu Zhuoxia was rather flattered and handed over the script.

Xiao Han read the script, and when he finally closed it, he said firmly, "Okay, we'll eat these tonight."

What she was talking about was several important dishes that Lu Zhuoxia's second male lead, Shen Ding, made in the script, cod fish soup with Mediterranean bread, cappuccino wild mushroom soup, and Italian wild mushroom ham stewed rice.

When Lu Zhuoxia heard Xiao Han's words, Lu Zhuoxia didn't realize it for a while, it was what he thought.

Xiao Han is a person who, once he makes a decision, will immediately make it difficult to change. As for the ingredients needed for these dishes, they are also simple. After making a phone call, the doorbell rang within an hour. Food delivered to your door.

Mediterranean bread with silver cod soup is made of Icelandic haddock. The cod has high protein and very low fat content. With sweet pepper sauce, make a fresh fish soup, and finally spread on the toasted Italian bread slices.

Cappuccino Wild Mushroom Soup is boiled with 4 kinds of wild dried mushrooms, black truffle, stock, and spices to make a soup, and then make fresh milk foam with soft and rich cappuccino coffee on top.

The last is the Italian wild mushroom ham simmered rice. Italian rice is different from Chinese rice and Spanish rice. Due to the growth environment, it is larger, slender, more chewy, soft and slightly sweet, and Masu Cheese and ham slices are paired together, the slightly salty taste is full of layers, the spices are not overwhelming, and the original taste of the rice is perfectly highlighted.

This is the first time since Lu Zhuoxia lived in the villa, he watched Xiao Han cook from the sidelines, like an artist. Turn cooking skills into elegant and beautiful performances, and cooking is a work of art.

The final result is an almost perfect restoration of the dishes, which are exactly the same as the known pictures.

When Lu Zhuoxia saw these dishes, he couldn't help but asked in shock, "Have you ever made this before?"

Xiao Han wiped his hands with a hot wet towel, and denied Lu Zhuoxia's question, "No, I just searched the recipes on the Internet and roughly copied them. Compared with authentic chefs, the taste may still exist. differences."

She calmly said, "Taste the taste first."

Lu Zhuoxia was almost reverent, picked up a spoon and took a sip. The cappuccino wild mushroom soup tasted very strange, but it had a strong milk flavor, and it felt like it melted in the mouth. Italian wild mushroom ham simmered The rice is an unattractive but amazing risotto. The cod bread slices are crispy and tender, very delicious, with the stimulation of sweetness and the temptation of umami, which can whet your appetite.

Actually, this is also Lu Zhuoxia's first time eating Western cuisine, and he was only at the level of boiled potatoes in class.

Lu Zhuoxia seems to have experienced the satisfaction and happiness that the cooking of the male second in the script gives people.

Even though she was fed up in the end, Lu Zhuoxia insisted on getting up to wash the dishes.

Xiao Han didn't stop him either, just said, "The second one in the white cabinet has a medical first aid kit and special burn medicine."

Lu Zhuoxia obediently went to look for it later. When he opened it, he found dozens of medicines and ointments. The ointment for burns was easy to find, and there was a card with the correct treatment method for burns.

The corners of Lu Zhuoxia's mouth curved into a beautiful arc.

After seeing it once, Lu Zhuoxia certainly wouldn't let it go, and Xiao Han also told him seriously, "If you want to do it, then do it to the best."

Lu Zhuoxia began to learn these dishes with Xiao Han, and the dinner in the villa became a regular cod fish soup with Mediterranean bread, cappuccino wild mushroom soup, and Italian wild mushroom ham stewed rice.

During the day, Lu Zhuoxia insisted on acting courses and physical exercises, and at night, after returning to the villa, he studied with Xiao Han.

Although Xiao Han is not a good teacher, with just these few dishes, it is very easy for Lu Zhuoxia to succeed in a short period of time.

Occasionally it was Xiao Han who did it, but most of the time it was Lu Zhuoxia who did it. Xiao Han usually just tastes it to save face, and then cooks for himself. Lu Zhuoxia takes her achievements very seriously. If you can't finish eating, Lu Zhuoxia puts it in the refrigerator, heats it up the next morning and puts it in a lunch box to take away. Eat it at noon during class.

Sometimes if you accidentally overdo it, Lu Zhuoxia will give it to others, not only Pei Zhou, but also assistants Chen Yuan and Zhao Lan.

I didn't hide it from them, and said frankly, "I did this."

It's just that he didn't tell Pei Zhou about Zhong Shuqi's teaching him these dishes. It seemed that Pei Zhou didn't know that Miss Zhong was good at cooking.

Then he still doesn't want to say it out, it's easy to feel that it will hurt Zhong Shuqi's face.

Pei Zhou was very pleased with Lu Zhuoxia's hard work. Although he was a little tired after eating seven or eight meals in a row, it was clear that Lu Zhuoxia's level was improving by leaps and bounds.

In order to play the role of a professional chef well, it’s okay to learn how to cook. He has also seen that in order to play a historical drama well, he read a few history books and biographies hard, because there are a lot of diving scenes and he finally got a diving license. An actor who has learned boxing, Sanda and so on.

Some of them were intentionally used as a gimmick, but more of it proved the seriousness of the role. Maybe the hard work may not be successful, but if you don't want to put your heart into it, you can't act well no matter what.

The day to join the group is coming soon, and the director feels a little bit bitter because the male second who brought money into the group. Especially when I saw Lu Zhuoxia's audition that day, the director and producer praised it without conscience, but they were thinking about how to edit and deal with the plot line. Although the acting skills were not satisfactory, the face was worthy of the second male lead number.

Let the audience love the second male lead's face, the director decided in his heart.

What makes the director feel a little better is that Lu Zhuoxia, who brought money into the group to play the second male role, is more modest and polite. up.

Before coming here, Pei Zhou told Lu Zhuoxia, "Use your resources reasonably, and make yourself worthy of it."

What Pei Zhou didn't say was that Miss Zhong was his greatest resource.

A lot of people in the production crew have heard the news, and there are also private discussions. After all, it is almost obvious at a glance. Lu Zhuoxia, a starlet who was hacked a few days ago, suddenly became an investment of tens of millions. The male number two of modern dramas, how can we not let people guess.

But most of them are envious, as many people are looking forward to such an opportunity but never get it.

The scene on the first day was the restaurant of the second male lead, Shen Yu, in the script setting. It was found in advance. Because of sufficient investment, the crew rented the restaurant directly from the owner for four months, and The theater set has been refurbished.

From the outside, there are snow-white walls, log design, lazy vines in the sun, and the glass room looks full of artistic freshness. The props group in the restaurant is also very careful, from the lighting, the open kitchen to the design of the tables and chairs, and the printing on the glass windows, they are very emotional.

As the first Chinese chef to win the European Order of Jasmine, Shen Ding opened his own restaurant after returning to China.

Since it's in a restaurant, it means that there was Lu Zhuoxia's scene the day before, and it was also the first scene of the lead actor Shen Yu.

Photography and lighting, as well as various crews are in their positions, so that the gentle light in the restaurant is not too dim, and the sunlight streaming in from the glass windows is just right with the lighting.

Then came the appearance of the second male lead, Shen Ding.

The director was stunned for a moment.
