Chapter 796: First (4000)

Although no one can understand Jiang Feng's hunger marketing, even Jiang Feng himself doesn't understand his hunger marketing, he still persuaded the program team with this nonsense, at least on the surface.

The second week of competition is destined to be uneventful.

Because the variety show has already started.

The Sino-American Chef King Competition, the eight restaurants on the Chinese side are updated as a network comprehensive at 8 o'clock every Monday night, because it is a network comprehensive, so it is more capricious, and you can cut out a three-hour ultra-long version of the issue. In the United States, it is broadcast on a paid TV basis, like a TV series, each episode is only about 40 minutes, two episodes a week, and the broadcast time is 8 o'clock on Sunday night due to the time difference.

Since it takes time to translate and remake subtitles, the Chinese side will update the variety show on the other side of the ocean every Wednesday night, and the American side will also update the variety show on the Chinese side every Wednesday night, also in the form of online variety.

Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi had already watched the updated variety show for the first time on Monday night, and in their opinion, although this variety show was not very exciting, it was definitely not an ugly variety show.

The explosion point is still behind, the first episode has not been broadcast, and the first episode is just a small friction between the daily operation of the eight restaurants and the back kitchen. It was supposed to be boring, but with the photographer's unique sense of lens capture, the scene of the chefs cooking was picturesque.

Basically, the picture that comes to the mind of every viewer who has watched the first episode in its entirety is food.

Or food.

Sizzling pan-fried veal steak.

Soft as a cloud, small and delicate, white and delicious, a delicate little dot that can be wrapped in one bite.

Verdant, blanch in boiling water and drizzle with fresh vegetables in a sauce that is exceptionally tender.

The thick red sauce is constantly tumbling in the iron pot, and the large pieces of pork belly that are firmly wrapped in the sauce are still floating on the surface of the beautiful oil, fat and thin.

The root tofu is as thin as a hair, scattered in the bowl like a blooming daisy, scooped up for fear of breaking, melted in the mouth, and at a glance you know that it needs to be carefully cared for, eaten carefully, and tasted with heart.

The squirrel fish shaped like an amber is like a work of art after the thickening is completed, sparkling and dazzling.

Chicken bean curd, two-color prawns, fried double crispy, crab roe lion head, braised silver carp head......

The dishes that have been heard, unheard, eaten, and eaten all appeared in the first episode of the variety show.

The main reason is that things are going too flat, there is no tearing, there is no struggle, and even Taifeng Building, which has a poor business, can only take a picture of Jiang Feng's frustration, and Sun Jikai's struggle to fry Niu River in the background.

There is nothing to shoot in the story, so I can only work on the dishes.

Chicken, duck and fish, delicacies from the mountains and seas, basically the food that an ordinary person's first reaction to the thought of food is in his mind, and these eight restaurants have it.

It can even give them better and unthinkable.

Just imagine, on an ordinary Monday, ordinary office workers return home after a busy day of work and drag their tired bodies and cheap fried rice bought at the door of the community. I wanted to relax and watch variety shows while eating, and then accidentally clicked into this variety show.

White pastries, hot and spicy dishes, slender fingers, and a noisy kitchen.

The flavor of the world is here.

Office workers who watched variety shows suddenly felt that the fried rice was not fragrant, the ham sausage was not fragrant, and the instant noodles in the distance were not fragrant.

Only the screen can be seen, touched, smelled, but the dishes you want are very fragrant.

It's so fragrant.

Damn, I want to eat it.

I want to eat everything.

Even though it looks like I can't afford it, I still want to eat it.

Damn, how can there be something in the world that looks so delicious!

Of course, the contestants didn't expect this cooking reality show to be seen by the audience as a food documentary, and even the program team didn't expect it. Since domestic variety shows cannot be on the stars and can only be broadcast in the form of online variety, the focus of their early publicity has always been on the United States. After all, this reality show is a veteran reality show in the United States, with a reputation and a stable audience that has accumulated for many years.

Although Han Guishan is the main investor on the Chinese side, the main funds are provided by the American side, after all, the production cost of a single episode of American variety shows is too high, mainly because of the high labor costs. Boss Han is not wronged, he doesn't have the leisure and elegance to bear all the expenses on his own, and then he was cheated by the other party because he didn't know how to do it.

The professional eats meat, and he just invests some money in the back to drink soup.

This led to the program team spending a lot of money on publicity in the United States, and the domestic publicity was just buying the relevant recommendation positions of the video website a week in advance. In fact, it's not that bad, it's just that it's not as concerned about propaganda as the United States, and many people have seen the relevant propaganda, but they haven't clicked on it.

After all, no matter how you look at it, this is not an attractive variety show. There are no stars, vegans, neither falling in love, nor high-IQ competitions, and cooking variety shows have a wide audience as many as other types of variety shows, and it is normal for them not to be noticed and not taken seriously.

Chef Arnold has been around for almost a decade since the last fire, and his popularity in the United States is high, but at home it is very sluggish.

But what everyone didn't expect was that the reputation of China and the United States was extremely polarized.

Although the number of hits on the Chinese side is frequent, and the number of hits did not even exceed 10 million after the first day of launch, only more than 3 million, but the reputation is very good. The comments at the bottom are all the same, I want to eat, I look delicious, is it really that delicious?Where is the restaurant?Is it still open?Something like that, obviously I didn't watch this as a variety show, but as a food documentary.

The reputation in the United States is very low, and the corresponding ratings are extremely high. The program team has been falsely promoting the name of Chef Arnold for so long, and it has already whetted everyone's appetite. I don't know how many families gathered in front of the TV on Monday night just to listen to Chef Arnold's shit, but after watching it, I found that Chef Arnold didn't have any shit.

That's it?

That's it???

For a while, there was a flood of bad reviews, the score fell to an all-time low, and the comments were all liars, disgusting, false propaganda, garbage, and a lot of **** that could not be written.

Later, it was the program team that released the news in time, saying that Chef Arnold's part would be broadcast in the form of an online variety on Wednesday night, which slightly calmed the anger of the audience across the United States.

In order to better remedy, the program team decided to record another section for each contestant and broadcast it in the form of a preview, in order to bring back the love and ratings of the audience.

Jiang Feng saw the news at seven o'clock on Tuesday morning, when he had just gotten up, and when he received the news, he was brushing his teeth blankly with his eyes on the head of the chicken nest. After reading the news, I immediately became energetic, and after brushing my teeth, I didn't even wash my face before I went into the room to pick out clothes.

After twenty minutes of careful selection, Jiang Feng finally chose the same outfit as when he prepared for the last harvest.

After getting dressed, washing his face, and even washing his hair again and blowing it again, Jiang Feng looked at himself in the mirror and felt very OK, he already had the posture that a winner should have.

With a new look and a new beginning, this week he will definitely take Taifeng Building to turn the tables against the wind.

Then Jiang Feng saw Wu Minqi in the living room wearing a pale yellow dress that he had not worn a few times this year, and he also tied a butterfly that Jiang Feng had never seen on his waist, and added a cherry hairpin on his head that was not necessary to add it at all, and Wu Minqi who had put on makeup but did not have a good highlight.

Jiang Feng noticed that the collar of Wu Minqi's yellow skirt didn't seem to look the same as before, could it be that she bought a new skirt?

"Qiqi, is this dress of yours newly bought?" Jiang Feng pointed to Wu Minqi's collar.

"It's still the same dress. Wu Minqi looked down at the collar, suddenly realized, and mentioned it with his hand to indicate that this would move, "This is a fake collar, specially used to tie my hairpin today." ”

Jiang Feng: ?

"yes, it looks like a good match. Jiang Feng's face was full of sincerity.

Wu Minqi was originally going to get up early to make breakfast, but after seeing the news, she became an early riser to pick out clothes and accessories, causing her and Jiang Feng to have no food to eat this morning and had to go downstairs to buy steamed buns.

Two people who were dressed not to go to work but to a dinner party took the elevator downstairs, and as soon as they got out of the elevator, they were intercepted by the staff of the program team, and there were two interns who intercepted them, a choreographer, a planner and three photographers. Without giving Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi time to react, the two of them were pulled into the car and went straight to the TV station.

When I arrived at the TV station, I found that Sun Maocai and Sun Jikai had already been intercepted, and when I asked, I knew that Sun Maocai was the worst, he was directly intercepted when he was running in the morning, if it weren't for the fact that he would rather die than go home to take a shower and change clothes, he might have been pulled to the TV station in his morning running clothes now.

Jiang Feng: ?

Was the program team held a gun by the audience to see the preparations? Why are you in such a hurry?

In fact, there is no difference from being pointed at gunpoint, because of the time difference, when Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi were watching a variety show last night, the production team on the American side was already attacked by angry netizens. Word-of-mouth has fallen to an all-time low, bad reviews are flooding, phone calls have been blown up by angry audiences, and the father of the gold owner does not know the situation, and he does not need to understand the situation.

He simply notified the program team to solve it or I withdrew the investment.

Due to the financial implications, the program team attaches great importance to this preparation, and is fully prepared even if the time is in a hurry, tailor-made for each contestant to be stepped on, which is completely different from the almost perfunctory preparation last time.

It can be seen from the fact that this preparation must be specially brought to the TV station.

Jiang Feng asked the staff if they were the first to come, and the staff told them that the top restaurant had already been recorded and left. Chef Arnold wakes up early, he goes to the restaurant at five o'clock every morning to check the freshness of the ingredients, and if there is any problem, he can return and scold the boss as soon as possible.

Now it's already in production and editing on the back side.

Sun Maocai and Sun Jikai's preparations have been completed, and the two of them did not leave because it was not yet time to go to work, so they could wait for Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi while having breakfast here.

The TV station has prepared four preparation rooms, which can allow four contestants to save time at the same time.

The person in charge of Jiang Feng being trampled on was a blonde with a good face but a little wrinkles on her face, obviously an Eastern European beauty caused by hard work, and a translator.

After making sure that Jiang Feng's English level was enough to understand the questions asked, and telling Jiang Feng that he could answer in Chinese, so as to be relevant to the theme of the competition on the Chinese side, the preparation began.

"After the first week of competition, I believe that Jiang Feng has adapted to the competition relatively well. From the results of the competition, it can be seen that the operating points of Taifeng Building in the first week were very dismal, but the test on the last day achieved a turnaround against the wind, do you think the test on the last day is because of good luck or your strength?"

Jiang Feng was stunned when he heard this question, he felt that this was not a preparation but an interview, and thought about it: "It's because we had bad luck at the beginning, and we accumulated all our good luck at the end." ”

The Eastern European beauty nodded, this question is over.

"Now that the results of the draw for the second week are out, do you think your restaurant is lucky this week?"

"Not bad. Jiang Feng smiled.

"Then what do you think your restaurant will rank first in the points competition this week?" Eastern European beauties may not be able to speak the word Taifeng Lou, so the pronouns for restaurants are all your restaurants.

"The top three, I think the top three should be fine. ”

"Isn't it the first?"

Jiang Feng hurriedly waved his hand: "First, we don't dare to think about it, this week's first must be Yongheju, and if we want to fight for the most, we will fight for the second." ”

"Do you think your restaurant will be able to qualify after these four weeks?"

"Of course. Jiang Feng was extremely confident.

"So you're looking forward to meeting Chef Arnaud in the semi-finals. The Eastern European beauty smiled.

Jiang Feng paused for a moment, feeling that her question was a little wrong: "Why do you ask that?"

The translator may have some problems when translating, and the Eastern European beauty thought that Jiang Feng didn't hear her question clearly, so she repeated the question just now.

This time, Jiang Feng directly asked her in English, why did she mention Chef Arnold.

This time, the Eastern European beauty was stunned, she used a headset to communicate with the staff, obviously asking if she could tell the reason, and then told Jiang Feng.

"That's right, because when we were preparing for the harvest, we asked Chef Arnold which chef he would most like to meet in the final, and he said that you were the one he was talking to. ”

Jiang Feng didn't expect Chef Arnold to be so upright, then he is in the limelight this time, and if the program team has a little bit of a title party, his title will become the person Chef Arnold wants to defeat the most in his life.

Rounding it up, he is on the same level as Peng Changping.

"Really? I'm honored. ”

"Do you think you can beat Chef Arnold?"

Jiang Feng felt that this question was a pit, and smiled but did not answer.

"Okay, to change the question, if your restaurant can qualify, what kind of ranking do you hope Taifeng Lou can achieve in this competition in the end?"

"First. ”
