"Director Wu, why do you name the opening ceremony "Dreaming of the Tang Dynasty"? Is there any deep meaning in this?"
Wu Mingxuan glanced at the "friendly forces" Then, he explained very kindly: "Because Luoyang Palace itself was restored and rebuilt on the site of the Sui and Tang Dynasty palace complex, it was finally restored after 20 years starting from 1989, after the painstaking efforts of countless professional scholars and ancient architecture restoration masters.
In order to capture the true beauty of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, I have previously inspected many ancient architectural complexes and film and television bases. In the end, I felt that Luoyang Palace best satisfied all my fantasies about the prosperous Tang Dynasty, so I finally chose this place.
As for why it is called Dreaming of the Tang Dynasty, it is just like some of the plots in the movie. It has something to do with the story, and it's also a double entendre. When you take a tour of the Luoyang Palace later, you'll understand why there's a saying that goes, "Dreaming of the Tang Dynasty."
Tonight's opening banquet is very special. In other words, after today's opening ceremony, this will be a real Luoyang, the Eastern Capital. Not only can you put on ancient costumes and tour the Luoyang Palace, but you can also join the crew and actors in the opening banquet I've specially prepared for you, and you can also return to the real heyday of the Tang Dynasty. This is the real reason why I chose this name. "
Wu Mingxuan learned this from the TV series "The Longest Day in Chang'an" This drama naturally has nothing to do with him, but Wu Mingxuan was deeply moved when he saw it, so he directly turned the Luoyang Palace into the ancient Chang'an City in Chang'an. During the filming, the people inside lived like real Tang people. The
food they eat is also the most authentic Tang Dynasty specialties. Of course, the cooking methods are still very modern, and there are many modern seasonings and cooking tools, otherwise it may not taste good.
Such a unique and generous opening banquet will naturally make these media reporters who have experienced it directly praise it. Nothing is more unforgettable than personal experience. This will also be of great help to the visitor flow of Luoyang Palace after its official opening.
Wu Mingxuan didn't have to pay for the film, so he just offered ideas. He'd get a share of the benefits, and it would also help generate more buzz and attention for the film. So why not?
After over an hour of interviews, the filming officially began. Wu Mingxuan and his crew, previously dressed in modern attire, now changed into the period costumes typically seen in TV dramas. They strolled elegantly down Chang'an Avenue, dreaming of the Tang Dynasty.
"The reason why it's called 'Shui Pen Mutton' is not because the bowl holding the broth is big, but because most shops selling this kind of mutton soup at that time used large water basins as soup containers. So 'Shui Pen Mutton' got its name from the container. Don't be fooled by its seemingly unhygienic and unattractive appearance, because it is actually a real delicacy."
After Wu Mingxuan finished speaking, he sat down directly in this very quaint open-air stall and ate Shui Pen Mutton and Roujiawa (Chinese dumplings) that went with the mutton soup on a long chair that only appeared in costume dramas.
Hong Kong stars like Cecilia Cheung actually look down on street stalls like this, but now that so many important people have sat down, it would be inappropriate to not eat a single bite. Besides, they are really hungry after a tiring day. In the end...
"How can it be so delicious? The taste is so authentic. The mutton is so tender. Did ordinary people eat this during the Tang Dynasty?"
"Of course, back then, it was pollution-free natural grazing, not the artificial breeding of today. The meat quality was much better, and there was no possibility of any frozen meat or zombie meat. And don't underestimate this soup, this is a broth that has been simmered for decades. For this small pot, no one will sell it even if you offer a million."
This is not one of those street vendors in the Food Street, but a real time-honored brand in Luoyang. Of course, it will not be cheap when it is actually opened. Just this small bowl of mutton soup starts at 30 yuan. By 2020, you can't even drink it without 80 yuan.
Fire crystal persimmons, Hu pancakes, hand-pulled lamb, charcoal-grilled lamb, tea soup, yellow osmanthus persimmon cakes, noodle soup, oil hammers, Sanlejiang... these Tang Dynasty delicacies were an eye-opener for the Hong Kong farmers. Especially when looking at the magnificent palaces and ancient buildings around them, it was hard to imagine the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
Even superstars were amazed, not to mention the media reporters from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and overseas, who were completely overwhelmed by the culture of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
This place not only offers delicious food and fireworks displays, but also several restaurants and legendary brothels. This is certainly not a place for fireworks, but a place for high-end scholars to connect.
But the young lady is really beautiful, and the clothes that young ladies wore during the heyday of the Tang Dynasty were also very unrestrained, and each of them was very attractive.
"How is it? The arrangement of today's opening ceremony is okay. Different movies have different publicity and marketing methods. I, Wu Mingxuan, believe in "win-win" for all parties.
Not only can it help the quality of filming, but also because of my presence and the crew's presence, it can boost the local economy and tourism, benefiting the local people and the government. At the same time, it can also benefit the investors who invested in my movies, the actors who starred in the movies, and the crew members. This is the "harmony between man and nature" that I, Wu Mingxuan, use when making movies."
To put it bluntly, although I make a lot of money, the benefits of cooperating with me are greater. Everyone benefits, and no one is left to shoulder the brunt of the burden. This is the scientific and sustainable way of doing business, and it's what truly distinguishes Wu Mingxuan from his peers today.
For example, Lao Chen, Wu Mingxuan is speechless. Making a movie and building a city—besides making money and enriching yourself—what practical significance does it have? Can
you expect a few hundred million yuan spent on building a city to rival the ruins of Luoyang Palace, which itself took thirty years and billions of dollars to build?
Instead of wasting time, you'd better communicate and negotiate with the relevant departments of the local tourism bureau, sharing the benefits and developing harmoniously, so that everyone can profit together.
Wu Mingxuan now aims to establish Luoyang Palace as a "model," like the Running Man of later generations. "I'm here to boost local tourism and the economy, to help everyone achieve prosperity. Just give me your full support."
The Kung Fu Emperor, who had previously been somewhat dismissive of Wu Mingxuan, a younger generation, has now begun to take this less-than-30-year-old seriously. He's undoubtedly the most intelligent and resourceful director he's ever met, utilizing almost everything he can to maximize profits.
