Volume 2: Chef King Contest Chapter 096 Born with no lack of topicality!
The final of the Huaixiang Group internal selection competition finally kicked off.
Despite being an in-house competition, it has attracted a lot of attention in the industry.
In particular, the first place has a special identity, a person who has never heard of it before, and suddenly sprung up and became the biggest dark horse.
The total score of the first two rounds is more than 10 points ahead of the No. 1 seed, and he is in a position to be far ahead.
Moreover, more insider stories have recently been revealed.
It turned out that the first place turned out to be the master of Huaixiang Group.
For this reason, many contestants raised the possibility of black-box operation, and even attracted the attention of the Organizing Committee of the King of Chef Competition.
The news did not continue to ferment, and the video recordings of Qiao Zhi's participation in the two rounds of selection were all kept intact, and Qiao Zhi's strength was fully recognized through the appraisal of the experts of the organizing committee.
From the perspective of the organizing committee, it is not a bad thing that Huaixiang Group has caused such a big turmoil. They spend a lot of money on publicity, and the effect is not as attractive as such controversial topics.
Qiao Zhi and Tao Ruxue are both public figures and have attracted much attention.
The selection of the Huainan Division of the King of Chefs Competition is greasy, and it appears on hot search lists such as Weibo and Toutiao, which naturally has a strong topicality.
Commenting, retweeting, the heat exceeded expectations.
As the main coordinator of the organizing committee, Mei Ling was also amazed by Qiao Zhi's explosive power.
The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear.
Although Qiao Zhi behaved mediocre at first, he had the ability to gather focus inside.
The original ordinary canteen, under his management, has become a unique Internet celebrity restaurant in the country.
Such a figure who is not lacking in topics by nature, if he does not make it to the finals, it will be a huge loss for this conference.
The organizing committee will only protect it secretly.
When communicating with Huaixiang Group, the organizing committee put forward two requirements:
First, the selection competition should be screened in strict accordance with the process, and it should not be mixed with violations, if the image of the King Chef Competition is damaged, the qualification of Huaixiang Group will be directly cancelled;
Second, don't be afraid of criticism from the outside world. If the contestants who have been strictly screened and full of gold content should not be disturbed by external factors, the organizing committee supports and respects every correct decision of Huaixiang Group.
Song Hengde almost didn't laugh out loud when he saw the official letter sent by the organizing committee, and the meaning was very clear when he synthesized the two requirements.
The organizing committee recognized the results of the first two rounds of selection of Huaixiang Group, and also asked itself to protect Qiao Zhi so that he could enter the final stage smoothly in a healthy environment.
This is also expected, Mei Ling bluntly supported Qiao Zhi at the launching ceremony.
If Qiao Zhi successfully enters the finals, he will definitely be taken care of by Mei Ling. Towards this.
Some senior executives of Huaixiang Group have begun to consider whether to escort Qiao Zhi and push him to the finals.
......
Mei Ling sat in the café with a cup of American coffee and two delicate snacks in front of her.
Although she is an absolute diehard of Chinese food, the delicacy and elegance of Western food is an advantage that Chinese food does not have, and she will occasionally taste it to pass the time.
What's more, her friend Mu Xiao especially likes the snacks in this café, and she has to rush to the sea of clouds for this dessert every month.
Mu Xiao separated a small piece of tiramisu with a spoon and put it in his mouth, with a look of disappointment on his face, "Alas." ”
Mei Ling looked at Mu Xiao strangely, puzzled: "My big star, this is your favorite dessert, what happened to make you lose your appetite." ”
Mu Xiao is very different from other female stars, other female stars will more or less have some celebrity baggage, but Mu Xiao is full of girlishness in daily life, not only has an active mind, but also has a very cheerful personality.
Mei Ling rarely saw Mu Xiao's sighing appearance, so she felt a little strange.
Mu Xiao put down the silver spoon and glared at Mei Ling angrily, "It's not because of you, I don't have any interest in Western food now, or rather, I'm only interested in the food cooked by Qiao Zhi." I've been losing my appetite lately, and I can't keep up my spirits with anything to eat. You say, did Qiao Zhi put some special drugs in the food, which made people obsessed, as if he was addicted to drugs?"
Mei Ling rolled her eyes and said angrily: "If you are heard by Qiao Zhi, I'm afraid he will block you directly." ”
Mu Xiao spit out the tip of her soft tongue, "Alas, I'm complimenting him on the deliciousness of what he makes." ”
Mei Ling's eyes showed a solemn look, "Qiao Zhi is indeed a talented chef, but after the finals, talents who are more talented than him abound." For example, there is a young chef in the Southern Cantonese cuisine who has a super taste buds, and he can copy any food 100% in one bite; ”
Mu Xiao was dumbfounded when he heard this, "Isn't the King Chef Competition just a group of chefs cooking together?" ”
Mei Ling sneered, "The King of Chef Competition is a martial arts conference in the catering industry, selecting those outstanding and potential talents. This group of talents will be the reserve energy for inheriting Chinese food culture and creating a solid foundation for the export of Chinese food culture. ”
Mu Xiao was slightly stunned, Mei Ling's words were understated, but she felt the heavy weight.
In the past two years, China's economy has always maintained a good development rate, and it has begun to consider expanding the country's influence from all angles, and cultural export is an important way to enhance the country's status.
Driven by a group of caterers, Chinese food has spread all over the world.
As long as there are Chinese people, there will inevitably be Chinese restaurants, and more and more foreigners are attracted by the rich dishes and wonderful tastes of Chinese food.
There is a deeper layout behind this phenomenon.
"How many places did Qiao Zhizhi get?" asked Mu Xiao with an expectant face.
"The number of people who entered the final stage is about 180 people, and Qiao Zhi's current strength should have no problem entering the top 20. Mei Ling analyzed objectively and rationally.
"It's only twenty?" Mu Xiao said unhappily.
Mei Ling belittled Qiao Zhi's strength, wasn't she indirectly belittling her own taste?
"It's not the same as usual. During the competition stage, there are many obstacles set up in order to select qualified and excellent talents. For example, it is not allowed to use oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, or to make a classic famous dish, but it lacks the core ingredients. Mei Ling patiently explained.
Mu Xiao gasped, "Isn't this a blind toss?
Mei Ling said with a smile: "Don't underestimate the ability of those chefs, even if there are no seasonings, they can refine different flavors from some ingredients and cook eye-catching dishes." So the biggest headache now is the experts of those propositions, who have to rack their brains to come up with ways to make things difficult for those contestants. ”
Mu Xiao held her chin, a little distracted, "I don't think it makes sense." Isn't it okay if a chef can make something that others will never forget?"
Mei Ling looked at Mu Xiao a little worriedly, this woman became too famous, as if she had not been polluted by a gem, and she always subconsciously thought of the world as pure.
She wanted to instill in Mu Xiao that the world was very fake and dirty, but she still held back after all.
A piece of pure and plain white paper, she was reluctant to splash ink and pollute it.
Separated from Mei Ling, Mu Xiao sat in the nanny car and played a mobile game.
From the sea of clouds to Yuhang City, it only takes more than an hour's drive.
The agent, Sister Fen, has long been accustomed to Mu Xiao being able to give up her precious time for a short rest for the sake of food.
originally planned to close his eyes and rest in the RV, but when Mu Xiao closed his eyes, a man would appear.
Because of Mu Xiao's dedication to acting, every time she enters the script, she will have this similar feeling, but this man has nothing to do with the drama he is starring in now.
Mu Xiao felt very strange about this!
obviously gave him WeChat, but he almost never contacted him.
Aren't you attractive at all?
She felt the urge to leave for his city at once, because she missed the taste of his food.
Arriving at the film and television city, after Mu Xiao got off the car, he was surrounded by the crew.
The assistant director walked beside Mu Xiao and began to explain the next scenes to her, Mu Xiao showed a solemn look in her eyes, and quickly entered the working state.
Tao Rushuang, who is standing not far away, has a very marginal role in this play.
Because there are not many scenes, he rarely appears on the same set as Mu Xiao.
Seeing the idol from afar, Tao Rushuang only felt her heart beating violently.
Before starting filming, Mu Xiao carefully read the script again.
Lights, cameramen, actors, extras, all gathered around her.
This scene is about the heroine being framed and imprisoned, and being pointed out by thousands of people.
Mu Xiao was shackled on her back, and the carriage dragged her.
She had a complicated expression on her face, aggrieved, tenacious, and unwilling......
When she saw the male protagonist hiding in the crowd, there was a look of surprise, worry, and rejection in her eyes, and she suddenly looked up to the sky and roared......
The soldiers who were guarding her quickly surrounded her, and the male protagonist found that the parade was a trap, and many archers and shadows were hiding in the crowd, although they were a little unwilling, but they still disappeared.
"Card ......"
The director, with messy hair and a mottled beard, shouted, "This scene is so wonderful!"
Mu Xiao's acting skills really live up to his reputation, passed at one time, and deduced the complex emotional changes in the characters' hearts.
Tao Rushuang sighed secretly, and finally knew that there was a huge gap between her and the top stars.
The outside world mistakenly thinks that the stars are glamorous and rely on hype.
In fact, talented and gifted people may not be successful, but successful people must be different.
The assistant director named Tao Rushuang, and then there was a rivalry between Tao Rushuang and Mu Xiao.
Tao Rushuang was a little nervous, and she was on the same stage with her idol for the first time.
The filmed scene goes to the dungeon.
Tao Rushuang plays the role of a chivalrous woman who comes to rescue the heroine.
After a fight, Tao Rushuang got the key and successfully rescued Mu Xiao.
"Cards!"
The director was very satisfied with this scene.
Mu Xiao smiled and said to Tao Rushuang: "Your performance is very good!"
Tao Rushuang hurriedly said modestly: "Thank you, Sister Mu, for your compliment." ”
With the recognition of the female number one, Tao Rushuang will be more smooth in the crew in the future.
Mu Xiao has actually been paying attention to Tao Rushuang since he entered the set.
Although the crew has never lacked beauties, Tao Rushuang is still very conspicuous in a group of people.
The side face is beautiful, and the eyebrows and eyes are bright.
My sister is beautiful like this, and my sister must also be a national beauty!
Mu Xiao sighed secretly, that wood-like cook is really a good fortune!
