Although this film is a food theme, the seven restaurants and the celebrity chef restaurant under the lens of Ye Weimin are more like two representatives of the old and new order in the spring breeze. Seven restaurants, which have been opened for more than 3 years, have witnessed a microcosm of the times in Guangzhou, while celebrity chefs are the product of modernization. Therefore, in the film, Nicholas Tse compares the seven records to a snail in 38 yuan, and compares the stars to a French snail with a price of 338 yuan. The cooking competition between Gao Tianci and Ann Paul is not only a contest between Chinese food and western food, but also the inevitable friction and contradiction between the old society and the new order in the process of integration.
The movie tells the story of Gao Tianci, the Guangzhou kitchen god played by Nicholas Tse. The seven restaurants opened by him have always been like the canteens of the neighbors. Until a neighborhood brought a rumor that it might be demolished and rebuilt in the spring breeze at the poker table.
Jung Yong Hwa plays Ann Paul, a Michelin-starred chef. He and his girlfriend You Mei left France and went to China to start a business. They intend to join hands with Li Jiacong, the rich second generation of Lishi Group, to build an oriental food brand. Their restaurant, Star-Picking Chef, is opposite the Seven Records in the Spring Breeze.
One is the Guangzhou Kitchen God, and the other is a Michelin-starred chef. Nicholas Tse plays Gao Tianci and Jung Yong Hwa plays Ann Paul. They wrestled with each other from the vegetable market to the restaurant door, which made the audience very happy. Although the atmosphere of the film was rendered tense here, it must be said that Nicholas Tse and Jung Yong Hwa's grasp of details made them feel a faint sense of CP. Is this the legendary master appreciate each other?
A gourmet competition for who can finally fight the God of Food has begun. Gao Tianci's Gan Kun called Hua Duck, and Ann Paul's caramel, red plum and Mu Si with French foie gras all entered the ring to compete. Gao Tianci was reluctant to lose, and Ann Paul was also used by the rich second generation Li Jiacong, and even his girlfriend was robbed. The chef who was going to cry in the toilet for two minutes came together.
The combination of Chinese and Western styles of Gao Tianci and Ann Paul successfully defeated the contestants, and sent Gao Tianci to the ring of confrontation with Gourmet Peak. The whole story is exciting, and director Ye Weimin's co-production with screenwriter Wen Juan controls the rhythm of the film just right. The whole movie viewing process is like riding a roller coaster, and even makes people think of the classic food animation "China Little Master" at some moment.
Not only the plot design is ingenious, but also the character design is remarkable. By suppressing first and then promoting, Nicholas Tse's Guangzhou kitchen god Gao Tianci leapt to the big screen, which is really lovable. Ge You plays Hongqi, the king of flavor, dressed in white, and turned the road of chef into the road of Wulin. Therefore, in "The Master of the Generation", Miyata took the cake when he had a fight with Ip Man. Hong Qi, played by Ge You, eats steamed bread when he travels around the world. Finally, the dish that Gao Tianci confronted the God of Food was a simple bowl of noodles.
In the end, the theme of the film returns to the truth and feeling. As Hong Qi, played by Ge You, said, the highest level of a chef is sweet relationship from the tip of his tongue to his heart. A good cook will make your happiness flow from the tip of your tongue to your heart, so in the end, the god of food can't help crying when he holds the bowl of noodles and eats it. Because I eat the delicious food on the tip of my tongue, I feel the affection in my heart. Just like China on the Tip of the Tongue, it tells not only simple food, but also the stories behind these foods.
