Chapter 32: Invitations

As the saying goes.

The people above move to open their mouths, and the people below are cool......

No, parking, driving the wrong car, this is a serious novel.

It should be the person above who opens his mouth, and the person below who runs and breaks his leg, well, that's right.

After setting the theme of the new variety show, Shen Zhengyuan temporarily pulled together and the crew began to operate in a hurry, from the rearrangement of the studio of "Delicious, Shocked!" to the invitation of the show actors, all of which were stumbling in progress. However, obviously, the reality is still a big gap from the light mouth that Shen Zhengyuan thought.

No, the next day, someone came to him with a question.

"President's ......"

is the assistant director and chief photographer of the crew, Jin Dazhou, who is also the person in charge of the entire crew, as for why he is responsible, who makes this guy Zhang "old" enough, it gives people a sense of peace of mind at a glance.

With an old face wrinkled, Jin Dazhou, who came to the office, did not bring any good news to Shen Zhengyuan: "I contacted the chefs who starred in "Delicious, Shocked!", but they generally did not expect the new show in the station, and half of the chefs have even made it clear that they will not appear in new shows. ”

"And what did the rest of the chefs say?"

For the chefs who don't act, Shen Zhengyuan can understand, after all, their cooperation in "Delicious, Scared!" is not a pleasure, and the suspension of the show at the end is not a good gathering and dispersal, so instead of focusing on those chefs who have made up their minds, it is better to focus on the remaining chefs.

The rest of the chefs didn't refuse, but they didn't say they had to participate. ”

"Then you should work a little more on the remaining chefs, and try to keep at least two or three chefs down. "It's obviously unrealistic to catch all the remaining chefs, so Shen Zhengyuan didn't set too difficult requirements for Jin Dazhou, two or three is already his bottom line, and any less will affect the personnel structure of the show.

"But if there are only three chefs left, the number of chefs in the team will ......."

"There aren't enough people, so you can look for them from outside. ”

Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged cooks do.

Shen Zhengyuan thought about it for a while, he didn't watch much of the show "Please Refrigerator", but he had some impressions of the chef group in the show: "You go to a Chinese restaurant called Mulan in Hongdae to find a chef Li Yanfu, as well as actor Hong Xitian, and finally find out if there is a cartoonist named Jin Feng." ”

"Goldwind?"

The first two, Jin Dazhou can still understand, Li Yanfu is one of the most famous Chinese cuisine in South Korea, and the other Hong Xitian, although he is an actor, he also runs several restaurants, and the cooking level is naturally not too bad, but the last Jin Feng is still a cartoonist, Jin Dazhou really can't connect him with the chef.

"Just get in touch, don't think about it so much. "People who haven't watched "Please Refrigerator" naturally don't understand the role of Jinfeng in this show, and the gags relaxed the originally tense atmosphere of the competition, after all, "Please Refrigerator" was not originally the kind of cooking competition show, and there was a less professional person appearing in it, which also happened to be in line with the theme of the show.

Otherwise, all of them are cooking shows starring professional chefs, which in itself gives the audience a sense of distance to watch the show.

"Of course, you can't put all your hopes on the chefs I'm talking about, you can also check in and see if there are any chefs who are willing to appear in our show. ”

For the chef group of "Please Refrigerator", Shen Zhengyuan didn't show too much worry, after all, as I said before, there are many streets called chefs these days, and the famous ones may be difficult to invite, but the ones who are not famous are grabbing a handful. And the focus of the show "Please Refrigerator" is the chef's cooking skills, and fame or anything is not very important.

"Now that I know the president, I'm going to contact the chefs. ”

Jin Dazhou hurriedly left the office with the candidates for the chef group explained by Shen Zhengyuan.

Here, Shen Zhengyuan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he could relax, but he didn't expect someone to find him on his hind feet.

"President, President......"

Really, it's not good news to take a breath, and it doesn't stop.

Although he was unhappy in his heart, Shen Zhengyuan also knew that it was an extraordinary time, so he mustered up his spirit and asked Li Tong, an intern who came to the office, "Tell me, what's the matter." ”

In the office, intern and logistics staff Li Tong took a breath, "Senior Zheng Dalong, who is in charge of the props, asked me to ask you whether the studio MC table should be in front of the cooking table or next to it." ”

"Put it in front of the cooking table, directly in front of the chef's cooking area, and ask him to buy two more refrigerators to put next to the cooking table for the chef to use when cooking. Two refrigerators, another additional expense, Shen Zhengyuan was distressed that the funds in his hand had shrunk again, and he gritted his teeth and gave an order, now is not the time to be stingy.

"Got it, President. Nodding, Li Tong was about to turn around and go back to pay for his life, as if he remembered something, he turned his head and said: "By the way, president, Park Myung-hyun, who is in charge of contacting MC, let me tell you, saying that it seems that there is a little difficulty in contacting MC." ”

"What!"

Hearing this, Shen Zhengyuan stood up from his seat, and at the same time was speechless for a while, you actually put such a critical matter behind such an inconsequential trivial matter as prop arrangement.

For the chef group of "Please Refrigerator", Shen Zhengyuan can not care, after all, the focus of the show is still on the cuisine, even if the chef is not famous, as long as the cooking is excellent, the reason why Jin Dazhou invited Li Yanfu to star in the original "Please Refrigerator" is that in addition to Shen Zhengyuan's own special feelings for Chinese cuisine, but also because these chefs' performance in the original program is bright enough, they joined the Al Jazeera version of "Please Refrigerator", at least it will not deviate too far from the original version.

However, for the host of "Please Refrigerator", Shen Zhengyuan can tell Park Myung-hyun, who contacted him, that he must invite Kim Sung-ju and Jung Hyung-dun to star.

After all, the chef group can toss blindly, anyway, as long as the cooking level passes, but Shen Zhengyuan, the host level of MC, doesn't dare to invite people to toss blindly. Kim Sung-ju and Jung Hyung-don have a very tacit understanding in the hosting of "Please Refrigerator", and the style of the host is also witty and humorous.

This is especially evident after MC Ahn Jung-hwan took over as the host.

Although "Please Refrigerator" is a variety show based on 15-minute cooking, it is also a talk show, so it attaches great importance to the level of MC, just look at Al Jazeera's previous "Delicious, Scared!", although there are many reasons for the low ratings of the program, but the problem of MC level is also one of the main reasons.

If Kim Sung-ju and Jung Hyung-dun can't take over the show "Please Refrigerator", Shen Zhengyuan really can't imagine that there are those MCs who are suitable to host besides these two.

After all, Shen Zhengyuan is not very familiar with the entertainment industry in South Korea, and his impression of MC is at most on the programs that have been produced. In the original version of "Please Refrigerator", Kim Sung-joo and Jung Hyung-don's hosting ability has been fully demonstrated, and it is also the confidence of Shen Zhengyuan to shoot this show.
