Chapter 83 Stir-frying is a skill
That night, Song Yi knocked on Gu Luojin's door alone.
"Sis, what's wrong?"
"If you have something to say, let me in. Why are you standing at the door? There are people inside. Is it inconvenient?"
Her eyes were sparkling. Was there some gossip behind it?
"I'm only thinking about my sister's reputation, aren't I?"
The incident of reading the script in the dark has only been over for a short time, and people in the industry are all paying attention, worried that they might be next.
Li wasn't worried yesterday because Xiaolu was in the room.
But Xiaolu left the film crew this afternoon to go and connect with the Dove Joy Ambassador endorsement that he obtained through the system.
"You're not married, I'm not married, we're both single, what's there to be afraid of? Besides, aren't we friends?"
Song Yi tilted her head and slipped under his arm, walking into the room.
Friends? Lip-to-lip friendship?
Gu Luojin found this cheongsam goddess increasingly interesting, and he couldn't quite figure her out.
Song Yi scanned the various rooms to make sure no one else was there, then relaxed and sat back down on the sofa.
How could her little tricks possibly fool Gu Luojin's eyes?
"Sis, you don't seem to be here to ask me for something, it looks like you've come to catch me cheating."
"I'm just worried that someone as young as you might succumb to temptation and order takeout."
This kind of takeout is not the same as other takeout; it's like saying you're really hungry, but not actually being hungry.
The story of the "Hengdian Pao Wang" (a notorious womanizer) is known not only to netizens who follow the entertainment industry, but also to people within the industry itself.
In order to prevent Gu Luojin from going astray, she came to check on him.
She couldn't even convince herself of this reason, mainly because she saw Li come out of his room that night.
Song Yi was worried that the two would get closer, and that her confrontation with Li today would only make her a laughingstock.
The next day, Li said, "Hey, isn't this our Sister Yi?"
She could explode on the spot if she was mocked.
"I don't like ordering takeout; I usually cook for myself at home."
Gu Luojin proactively explained that she maintained a clean and virtuous lifestyle to prevent Song Yi from making unfounded speculations.
"Don't you find cooking troublesome? You have to choose the vegetables, prepare them, cook them, and then clean up afterward."
"I don't think so."
So Gu Luojin shared her cooking experience with Song Yi.
Although going to the supermarket is troublesome, the organic vegetables I choose myself are clean and fresh, and I can pick out those that are spotted, old, wilted, or do not meet the standards.
There are tricks to buying vegetables, and you can't be fooled by the superficial words of some vegetable vendors.
Avoid choosing those with blemishes or an odor; instead, select those with a smooth surface and no smell.
The size should not be too small or too large, and the firmness should be moderate.
Choose organic vegetables whenever possible, and avoid vegetables that have been grafted.
Mastering these vegetable selection techniques will virtually prevent you from choosing bad vegetables.
After you buy the vegetables, wash and chop them, it's time to cook them.
Remember to preheat the pan before stir-frying. Adding cold oil to a hot pan makes it easier for the food to cook.
However, don't turn the heat up too high, as high heat can easily cause oil to splatter and the oil temperature to be too hot, which can easily burn the food.
Poor cooking skills can significantly affect the taste and texture of a dish, so this is something to keep in mind.
If you have solid stir-frying skills, you can choose to toss the wok appropriately to allow the vegetables to fully combine with oxygen.
If your skills aren't good, don't try to tossing the food in the wok. It's easy to mess it up, and you'll not only fail to eat the food, but you'll also go hungry.
If the heat is turned up too high all at once, it's easy to burn the food. Burnt food is not only unpalatable but also bad for your health.
When you carefully prepare the ingredients and have a clean spatula ready, but accidentally burn the food, you won't be able to eat your fill, and you'll feel bad.
If you're not good at controlling the fire at first, start with a small fire and adjust it gradually!
Remember to clean your spatula after cooking! Don't be lazy and leave it until next time to wash it, otherwise the oil on the spatula will solidify and make it difficult to use next time.
Enjoy the process of cooking, and also enjoy the process of cleaning up the kitchen tools.
Here he had to criticize some chefs for vigorously tossing the wok and making loud banging noises when cooking each dish, which was truly a showy display.
But you have to catch it steadily when it's thrown high, because many of the pots are public property in the restaurant.
If they're only focused on having fun flipping the pot, and then the pot breaks, the other chefs won't be able to cook anymore.
"And what about you?"
"I?"
"I learned stir-frying techniques from a famous chef. In most cases, simmering over low heat for the first part, tossing over high heat in the middle part, and reducing the sauce over high heat at the end is enough. This is a secret that is not passed down. Remember to keep it a secret."
After listening to Gu Luojin share her cooking experience, Song Yi blushed and understood why Gu Luojin didn't like ordering takeout.
With this technology, there's no need to order takeout; you can achieve self-sufficiency.
Gu Luojin couldn't understand them; they were so quick to get worked up.
When I explained driving techniques to Meng Ziyi, she blushed; when I explained cooking skills to Song Yi, she blushed too.
As the writer Lao She once said: "There are very few true words in this world. A woman's blush is worth more than a long dialogue."
In the days before rouge, a girl's face would blush only for her lover, but after rouge came into being, it became impossible to distinguish between true feelings and feigned affection.
He couldn't figure out why she was blushing; a woman's heart is unfathomable, he wouldn't try to guess.
"If I have the chance, I'd like to eat your cooking."
"That's no problem."
Seeing that no one else was coming, she had achieved her goal. It was getting late, and it was time to leave.
"I'll be going now, see you tomorrow."
See you tomorrow.
After seeing Song Yi to the door, Gu Luojin closed the door and went back into the room.
After leaving the room, Song Yi imagined Gu Luojin cooking. Leaning against the hotel wall, she noticed that the wall was soaked with water.
"What kind of hotel did this film crew book? They even have water."
Not long after Song Yi left, there was another knock on his door.
A second time.
Gu Luojin got up and opened the door, and Li walked in.
"Sis, you won't end up like Sister Yi, will you?"
"The same thing?"
"Come check if I ordered takeout."
Are you crazy? Who cares whether someone ordered takeout or not?
When celebrities are filming or going out, they almost always eat out. Isn't ordering takeout a common occurrence?
Seeing that she seemed to be looking for something in the room, Gu Luojin let her in.
Li is the same as Song Yi, but she needs to be more careful.
"Xiao Gu, could I use the restroom? My room key is with my assistant, and she hasn't come back yet."
"random."
After Li came out, he raised his questions.
"Sis, who's in my room? You all need to come and look for me."
"Us? Who else has been here?"
"Sister Song Yi, she came too, but she left before you arrived."
She didn't expect Song Yi to arrive even faster than her.
"Your assistant left because she was worried you wouldn't be able to take care of yourself. Yes, it's takeout. You can't just order takeout randomly. Remember to eat the crew's boxed meals; they're healthier."
"I'm leaving now, my assistant is back."
With a wave of my sleeve, I leave without taking away a single cloud.
The situation between the two is more like a male lion on the savanna not wanting other male lions to approach its territory.
He was speechless. Sooner or later, he would have to change the two people's habit of freely entering and leaving his room.
Is his room something you can just walk into? They don't respect the owner of this room at all.
"Brother Gu, what have you been up to lately?"
A small flower greeting was sent to his phone.
When Gu Luojin checked the favorability rating, wow, it had jumped to 87.
When the two left the show "Back to Field" years ago, Gu Luojin comforted her, saying that they could meet often. More than a year later, the two met briefly during the audition for "Better Days" before parting ways.
At that time, she thought she was ahead of the underage Zhang Zifeng and would win over Gu Luojin first.
A year has passed, but her relationship with Gu Luojin has failed to make any progress. Their feelings remain stagnant and have made no progress. Furthermore, the involvement of her senior, whom she dislikes, has made her increasingly anxious.
"Are you filming? How have you been lately?"
"I'll be joining the film crew for my first movie in May."
She co-starred with Qu Chuxiao in the film "I Want Us to Be Together," produced by Chen Guofu, which was also her first film work.
With an investment of 8500 million, the company raked in 3.81 million at the box office, making a huge profit for the investors.
Although it couldn't compare to his "The Big Shot," it was this film that opened up her film career.
This made her one of the few young actresses who could carry the box office, and laid the first cornerstone for her status on the big screen.
"That's a good thing."
Although she missed the big event of "Better Days," it's not all bad that she didn't get to see it.
"No, not good at all, I didn't get to film with Brother Gu."
She could no longer hide her longing for Gu Luojin; she no longer wanted to conceal her feelings for him.
She expressed her emotions directly on WeChat.
This surprised Gu Luojin, as it was the first time Zhang Jingyi had clearly expressed her feelings to him.
"Aren't we still young? We have time to film together."
"Brother Gu, before I start filming, I wanted to visit you on set. I haven't seen you in so long. That woman is with you every day."
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time.
Zhou wasn't there either, so he didn't need to worry that the two of them would fight.
"Come if you want. I'm in Hengdian. Call me when you get there and I'll come pick you up."
"it is good."
Gu Luojin welcomed her, but her company wasn't so welcoming; she was visiting her friend on set.
"Aren't you afraid of Gugu? She forbids you from having any contact with her."
"I am a person, not an object. If I can't even visit a friend, then I'll terminate my contract with her."
Are all the young actresses these days playing this big game? They're breaking off contracts with their agencies so easily.
This is the bitter fruit of being schemed against by an agency. Qu Chuxiao, who is working with her this time, is a victim.
This year, Qu Chuxiao wanted to terminate her contract with Xitian, but Xitian then betrayed her.
He also played the second male lead in the 19 box office hit "The Wandering Earth," which grossed 46.87 billion yuan, and like many others, he couldn't escape being sabotaged by his agency and understanding his fate.
Qu Chuxiao was probably signed by Xitian for the casting of "Chen Bailu" during the final performance of his sophomore year in the first half of 2015.
He officially began contract termination negotiations with Xitian before December 2019.
He wanted an apple, but Xitian gave him a mangosteen.
Mangosteens are more expensive than apples, but he doesn't want them.
If neither party is happy, then breaking up is the only option.
If things don't work out, just get a divorce. Pay the compensation if you have to, terminate the contract if you have to. There's nothing wrong with that.
But Xitian doesn't think so; it feels it has invested too many resources in Qu Chuxiao.
They had worked so hard to cultivate him into a leading male artist, and now he was about to terminate his contract and leave. They couldn't swallow this insult.
As a result, Xitian gradually reduced its publicity and support for Qu Chuxiao during this period, including no longer mentioning him in social media interactions and official publicity.
Later, people associated with him unfollowed him, and Qu Chuxiao was not included in any of the artist promotions for the New Year, Lantern Festival, and the pandemic.
In early 2020, Qu Chuxiao and Xitian were negotiating the termination of their contract. Around March or April, Qu Chuxiao officially established a new studio and joined Director Guo's company.
During the contract termination period, Xitian launched a series of attacks against Qu Chuxiao, including but not limited to...
Qu Chuxiao's alleged manipulation of women, physical assault against women, breakup with Wan Zilin (an actor from "iPartment 5"), and subsequent fabricated domestic violence allegations.
After gaining fame for his role in "The Wandering Earth," he criticized Wu Jing, and was replaced in the drama "The Long Ballad" because he demanded 30 million yuan in salary.
Provide online trolls with information about Qu Chuxiao from her younger days, and post titles like "#From child actress to idol, from fame to downfall, Qu Chuxiao's dark history is full of scissors#".
There were even reports that Qu Chuxiao had a bad relationship with the director on set, but other directors clarified the situation.
Why would Hsi-tien go to such great lengths to target an artist with whom he had already amicably terminated his contract?
Logically speaking, since the contract can be terminated peacefully, both parties have reached an agreement on the terms and paid the termination fee, and should part ways amicably and wish each other well.
Even though Lin Gou and Tang Ren have gone to court, they haven't targeted him like this.
Because Xitian has two protégés under his command, Zhang Tianai and Song Zuer, who control these two cash cows, he must make an example of them.
The chicken that was killed was Qu Chuxiao, and the monkey was naturally the two female artists Xitian.
The main reason is Song Zuer, a rising female star who can top the list of money-making actresses born in 95.
After Zhang Tianai became a sensation with "Go Princess Go", her marketing strategies were simply appalling, and her career has been on a downward spiral in recent years.
After Song Zuer and Xitian terminated their contract, Xitian also schemed against Song Zuer.
When Zhang Jingyi wanted to terminate her contract with Dongsheng Future for his sake, Gu Luojin was not only moved, but also dumbfounded.
Whose subordinate is this? So fierce! All I see is ferocity, no brains at all.
"You go first. It won't come to the point of contract termination. The company won't terminate your contract just because we're meeting."
"Brother Gu, if I really do terminate my contract with Dongsheng, will you help me?"
"I'll help, of course I'll help. I'll give you all my earnings, not a penny left. Is that enough to redeem your contract?"
He's a scumbag, he admits it.
If a young woman who is deeply in love with him were to ruin her future because of him, it would violate his principles, and he would not stand idly by.
Overall, he won't lose money either. Zhang Jingyi is also very good at making money, and there's no substitute for her in the Chinese entertainment industry.
These words were like a drop of honey, falling into Zhang Jingyi's heart and rippling with joy.
Only Gu Luojin felt ashamed, because it was he who caused it.
-
"Then it's settled. I'll come in a couple of days."
After logging off, she didn't forget to send him a beautiful photo of herself.
"Son, your opponent has already begun to take the initiative."
