Old Yu ate with gusto, completely forgetting Han Fei's request for him to choose the best one. After finishing ten lotus root cakes, he widened his old eyes and exclaimed, "They're all delicious! I really think they're all delicious!"
Yu Long, however, kept it in mind and savored each bite carefully. In the end, he selected three: "These three taste better than the others. I feel that the saltiness of these three is slightly different."
Han Fei took out cards that were under the three plates. Inside were the ingredient lists for each type of lotus root box, down to the gram.
"Indeed, the other ingredients for these three dishes remain the same; only the amount of salt is different."
"Grandpa Han, I think all three are delicious, it's hard to tell which one is the best."
"People in some places prefer strong flavors, while those in others prefer milder flavors. We can use different styles in different places." Han Fei pondered for a moment, ticked off the three cards, and decided to go to the group meeting tomorrow to get the new product into production as soon as possible.
"I've finished my business. You've come here because you need to see me, right?"
"Grandpa Han, I'd like to promote this spoon through your food program."
"A spoon?" Han Fei took the spoon and the instruction manual and looked at them carefully. After reading them, his mouth twitched. "Xiao Long, why did you invent this kind of thing?"
Yu Long glanced at his grandfather and lowered his voice: "My grandfather has many things he has to avoid eating, but he just can't control his mouth. I was thinking of creating a product that would allow him to enjoy delicious food without harming his health."
Upon hearing this, Han Fei looked at Old Master Yu with envy: "Old Yu, your grandson is truly filial!"
Grandpa Yu smiled broadly, feeling quite pleased with himself, and replied, "Your seven gourd brothers are filial too!"
"Grandpa Han, I hope you will use this spoon on the show. It can record the data of the food, so that the viewers can replicate the taste of the food using the data."
Han Fei touched his nose: "I always feel that it tastes strange when it comes from my mouth."
"If Grandpa Han doesn't want his data to be recorded by the spoon, then find a few people to taste the food."
“Okay, I’ll take care of this for you. It’ll also be a good opportunity to promote some of the company’s artists.”
After the Yu family grandfather and grandson returned, Han Fei took the three types of lotus root cakes that Yu Long had selected and went to the Han Group for a meeting. Zhang Jianguo was responsible for contacting Hubei B to purchase the goods, while Xiao Mei's father was responsible for finding machines to make lotus root starch. Xiao Mei's father was very capable and had been promoted from a sales position to the business development department.
After finishing his business, Han Fei went to Han's Entertainment Company and met with the head of the variety show department. He handed Yu Longze's spoon to him and said, "Find two artists that the company is going to promote, one male and one female. They will be responsible for tasting the food with the spoon and recording the data so that viewers can replicate the taste of the food through the data."
"Okay, the company has acquired the Chinese rights to 'The Phantom of the Opera' and is preparing to film it. We can have the female lead and the actress playing the ghost go there."
If you could only see one musical in your lifetime, The Phantom of the Opera would definitely be your one.
The protagonist of the story, the Phantom, is a musical genius with a deformed appearance. No one has ever loved him. He ran away from home at a young age and suffered the coldness of the world.
When he participated in the construction of the Paris Opera, he was determined to create an underground kingdom within it. He was skilled in composition and mechanical devices. Using these abilities, he could appear and disappear freely in the opera house like a ghost.
He fell in love with an extra who mistook him for a musical angel. He taught Christine vocal music with his angelic chants and brought her to his kingdom, but Christine was terrified by his appearance.
He would stop at nothing to win Christine's love, but Christine was in love with her childhood sweetheart, the Viscount. His intense possessiveness drove him mad; he forced the theater manager to cast Christine in his opera while he secretly played the male lead.
He threatened Christine with the Viscount's life to force her to be with him, but to his surprise, Christine agreed and gave him a desperate kiss.
This kiss also made him realize that possessiveness is not love. He let go of his rose and disappeared into the underground labyrinth.
"This drama?" Han Fei frowned slightly. "It must be quite expensive, right?"
The variety show team leader grinned and said, "We bought it for the National Little Prince program. We didn't originally plan to make a movie, but Dad, you gave the order to make 100 movies in three years. Since we have the copyright, we'll make it."
"Was this bought for the 'National Little Prince' show? Which child is going to perform in a musical? It's quite challenging, can the child handle it?"
"Hehe! Dad, guess who's going to act!"
"If you ask me to guess, then it must be my fifth child."
If it were someone else, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
The variety show team leader burst into laughter: "Dad, you're so smart! This was Xiao Wu's own choice, and he even invited his Christine to act in it!"
Han Fei's lips twitched: "Could it be Xiao Mei?"
"Yes, it's Xue Kaimei! And I must say, both kids have great voices. Would you like to watch the rehearsal video?"
Han Fei thought for a moment and shook his head: "My little Wu is being very mysterious. He probably wants to amaze me during the finals. I won't watch it beforehand so as not to disappoint him."
"Dad is such a good grandpa!"
Han Fei glanced at him sideways, already speechless at the company employee's constant use of the term "dad."
The finale of the "National Little Prince" program was broadcast live in its entirety.
The small drum performance was incredibly impressive. Thousands of people joined him in drumming, creating the illusion of being on a battlefield. Each beat was truly inspiring.
From then on, a rumor circulated online: What should you do when you are feeling down and suspect that there are evil spirits around you?
Listen to the drum music from the final round of the small drum competition, and you'll be fearless!
It was as if the blood in my heart was boiling, and boundless courage was ignited.
Next up was the performance by Xiao Feng, a favorite to win the championship. It was as if the audience was transported to a grand symphony concert. With hundreds of people supporting him, Xiao Feng's music was so moving that if you closed your eyes and listened, your brain felt soothed.
Similarly, there is a rumor that listening to Xiao Feng's saxophone music can soothe the soul and uplift one's spirits when feeling irritable, unable to sleep, or easily angered.
Music always adds points to stage performances. At this point, Xiao Wu's fans became nervous for him because Xiao Wu's shows are all performance-based, and their impact is far less than that of music programs. Moreover, performances are difficult to score. Musical notes are a universal language, and music has no limitations. The whole world can go crazy for a piece of music.
Just as fans were worried about him, the host announced that his performance would be the musical "The Phantom of the Opera"!
Classical music, magnificent gothic stage design, amber-colored Zhixing chandeliers rising, red velvet and a magnificent seven-star statue revealed on the stage, and the music played on the pipe organ sounded mysterious and solemn.
At that moment, the audience members sitting in the stands and those watching the live broadcast on television all subconsciously held their breath.
When the theater manager was singing, the stage scenery suddenly collapsed, leading everyone to speculate that it was the opera house ghost causing trouble again.
Because this strange thing happens every time Carlotta comes to power.
Carlotta was both shocked and angry, and decided to stop rehearsing.
At this point, someone recommended Christine, who was originally playing a maid, to play the role of the female lead in the story.
Xiao Mei was bathed in light, and everyone's eyes were on her. Xiao Mei, who played Christine, opened her mouth and sang, and her singing voice captivated everyone.
This included a young nobleman who was also the theater's new investor.
He was also pleasantly surprised to discover that Christine was his childhood playmate.
After the performance, Laver visited Christine and invited her to dinner.
Xiao Wu, playing the ghost, suddenly appeared with a jealous voice. He then led Xiao Mei into a secret passage in the room, down to the underground.
