Na0656 Shooting in one go
Xiaojingzhai’s kitchen.
Zhou Changhong's shooting team is arranging the preparatory preparations for the shooting, including camera rails, lighting, reflectors, and recording equipment.
Faced with Gu Kaiwen's inquiry, Dong Hongchuan nodded vigorously, "Well! Young Master, don't worry, I'm ready and will definitely be in the best condition!"
Zhou Changhong said while talking, "Don't worry, Mr. Gu, we have discussed the shooting plan with Master Dong. In addition, we have seen Master Dong's knife skills and cooking level in advance. To be honest, although Master Dong has not obtained any chef level certificate, I have come into contact with so many chefs. I think Master Dong's knife skills and cooking level are definitely the best among the super chefs!"
Dong Hongchuan waved his hand quickly and said, "How can I compare to the special chef? Director Zhou is so proud of people!"
Zhou Changhong is a producer, not a director, but Dong Hongchuan couldn't tell the difference between the two, so he called Zhou Changhong the director. Zhou Changhong explained it twice, but Dong Hongchuan had no intention of changing his words, so he was too lazy to correct it.
Anyway, it’s a small matter of detail, what are you struggling with?
"Master Dong, don't be humble. Your cooking skills and knife skills are indeed very good!" Zhou Changhong said affirmatively again.
Zhou Changhong added the explanation, "When the filming is done later, Master Dong doesn't have to be nervous. He performs at a normal level. Even if there are any problems, we can re-record it."
Gu Kaiwen agreed, "Yes, Master Dong, just do it casually when filming later. If you have any questions, just reshoot it. This is not a live program, and it is all recorded."
Dong Hongchuan waved his hands repeatedly, "No, young master, we only have one of the silver carp used for shooting. If you mess it up, you will lose a lot!"
Gu Kaiwen laughed loudly, "How could there be any statement that you have lost a lot?"
"Ah?" Dong Hongchuan looked at Gu Kaiwen in confusion.
"I believe Master Dong won't mess it up." Gu Kaiwen explained first, "Even if Master Dong messes up, we can still eat it ourselves!"
Zhou Changhong joked, "According to Mr. Gu, don't we hope Master Dong will mess up and then we can taste Xiaojinghu fish for free?"
Dong Hongchuan said seriously, "I will do my best!"
Nearly twenty minutes later, Zeng Mingyuan reported to Zhou Changhonghui, "Old Zhou, we have done it here and can take pictures at any time."
Zhou Changhong looked at Dong Hongchuan, "Master Dong, let's start?"
"Okay!" Dong Hongchuan nodded affirmatively.
Gu Kaiwen stood beside Zhou Changhong. He was curious about the shooting process. The shooting began when Dong Hongchuan took out the silver carp from the water. The high-definition camera recorded every move of Dong Hongchuan.
Dong Hongchuan was very skilled in handling fish scales. He did not use a special wire brush for removing fish scales, but used a kitchen knife to remove fish scales. He saw Dong Hongchuan holding the kitchen knife in his right hand and easily removed the fish scales using the back of the knife. The whole movement was coherent and smooth, as if he had practiced thousands of times.
The whole process took only two minutes to remove the scales, take the gills, and cut off the fish's belly.
Dong Hongchuan washed the silver carp with water and put it on the cutting board. He skillfully sliced it, and then divided the fish steak, the spine, the head and the tail.
This is the standard treatment method of Xiaojingzhai. Fish fillets are used as boiled fish, sauerkraut fish, or Tai'an fish, etc.; fish steaks and fish spine, as well as fish heads and tails have corresponding cooking methods, thus achieving more fish eating.
Dong Hongchuan did not speak when he was dealing with it, and there were naturally narration explanations during the post-production. Zhou Changhong had told Dong Hongchuan these precautions for shooting.
Zhou Changhong looked at Dong Hongchuan's smooth movements and nodded secretly. Although Dong Hongchuan had no shooting experience, he just did what he usually did, and then ignored the existence of these photography equipment to capture the most realistic appearance.
The cooking stage is a feature of Xiao Jingzhai!
Dong Hongchuan waved to Tian Dagang. Tian Dagang was Xiao Jingzhai's second chef. He assisted Dong Hongchuan in the back kitchen to cook. Tian Dagang was also told about the shooting situation. He went to Dong Hongchuan according to his usual situation.
"Laotian, you are responsible for the salt and pepper fish steak and Tai'an fish spine." Dong Hongchuan's normal communication with Hotan Dagang was. He did ignore the existence of photography equipment, because once he started cooking, he entered the state of cooking with all his heart.
Tian Dagang nodded, "Okay, Master Dong."
The salt-peppered fish steak and Tai'an fish spine are Tian Dagang's specialty, and Tian Dagang has quite insightful about fried cooking.
Dong Hongchuan is responsible for boiling fish in water and tofu fish head soup.
The first dish was boiled fish. Dong Hongchuan completed it in ten minutes. He brought the boiled fish to the shooting point and allowed the high-definition camera to take the close-up shot.
The second dish was salt and pepper fish steak, then Tai'an fish spine, and finally tofu fish head soup. When the last dish was served, Zhou Changhong personally supervised the shooting.
Zhou Changhong kept looking at the monitor. He also watched the replay twice, and finally nodded, "Do it!"
Gu Kaiwen asked, "Is it done so simply?"
"Not simple at all!" Zhou Changhong responded, "Master Dong's performance is so good, and Master Tian is also very good. In addition, we are fully prepared, so it looks simpler."
Zhou Changhong continued to add, "With the current condition, we will continue to build a pickled pepper eel segment and a salted pepper panlong yellow eel, how about it?"
Dong Hongchuan looked at Gu Kaiwen, meaning that Gu Kaiwen had the final say.
Gu Kaiwen nodded, "No problem!"
Almost half an hour later, the pickled pepper eel segment and the salted pepper panlong eel were also shot, and all the shooting tasks were completed in one go.
"Master Dong, thank you for your hard work!" Zhou Changhong said politely.
Dong Hongchuan responded with a smile, "No, I am a fan of your "Xia Country on the Bite of the Tongue". Now that I have been on this show myself, I feel very happy!"
"Haha, Master Dong's performance is very good. I believe that after the broadcast, Master Dong will definitely not disappoint him!" Zhou Changhong promised.
Gu Kaiwen interrupted, "Zhou Zhuan, don't you want to try the dishes cooked by Master Dong himself?"
"Is that OK?" Zhou Changhong asked.
Gu Kaiwen joked, "Isn't this an obvious thing? Zhou Zhixuan, you are hypocritical in this wave, and you will punish yourself later!"
"What Mr. Gu said is that I will punish myself for three cups!" Zhou Changhong admitted his mistake.
Because there were 16 members of the filming of "Xia Country on the Bite of the Tongue", they all tasted some dishes that Dong Hongchuan had just cooked in the kitchen, and each of them expressed an amazing attitude.
Chapter completed!
