Chapter 159: The Problem with the Program
The next day, Xiao Yi and the others arrived at the restaurant at eleven o'clock, and everyone was too tired yesterday, so they got up late.
After arriving at the restaurant, Xiao Yi did not immediately start preparing today's ingredients, but gathered everyone together for a meeting.
"We can't do it today like yesterday, we have to readjust the recipe, otherwise we'll all be exhausted. Xiao Yi was the first to speak.
"How to adjust?" Wang Hao asked.
"We focus on a few packages, that is, to fix a few options for customers to choose, so that not only is the preparation of materials much simpler, but also can make many copies at one time, and everyone can be more relaxed. Like yesterday, the guests ordered a lot of dishes, made a mess, and even forgot the dishes the guests ordered, which was too troublesome. ”
"Well, that makes sense, I think it's okay. Wang Hao nodded.
"I'm okay with that. Mu Ran said.
The other two people will not have any opinions, so Xiao Yi took the lead, everyone discussed the package launched today, and set the price, and then Xiao Yi and Mu Ran went out to buy vegetables on their bicycles.
"Mu Xiaoniu, follow me, be careful. Xiao Yi said uneasily.
"Got it, I'm not a kid anymore, it's okay to ride a bike. ”
"There are a lot of cars here, and there are so many curves in the road, so it's always a good idea to be careful. With that, Xiao Yi set off.
But as soon as he rode out on the highway, Xiao Yi couldn't help but scold.
"I'll go, why is this still going in the wrong direction, I don't obey the traffic rules at all. A motorcycle came on, speeding past Xiao Yi, "Mu Xiaoniu, be careful, the people here don't obey the traffic rules too much, and they actually go in the wrong direction." ”
"yes, it's all retrograde. Mu Ran also complained for a while, but soon felt that something was wrong, "No, Xiao Yi, it's not that people are going in the wrong direction, but we are going in the wrong direction, the traffic rules abroad are different from those in China, and people drive on the left." ”
As soon as Mu Ran said this, Xiao Yi immediately reacted, no wonder all the cars were heading towards him. Xiao Yi smiled awkwardly and said, "Hehe, I didn't pay attention, I forgot that we were abroad." ”
The two of them quickly switched to the other side and started riding, and this time there would be no cars coming on. The two of them laughed all the way and slowly rode to the supermarket, Xiao Yi decisively deprived Mu Ran of the right to buy things by herself, but took her hand all the way and bought all the ingredients she needed to buy today.
"Really, people won't lose it, why have you been pulling me. ”
"I'm not afraid that you will lose it, I'm afraid that you will buy things indiscriminately!" Xiao Yi said.
"Hmph, how can I buy things indiscriminately. Mu Ran said unconvinced.
"Then what was the matter with that pig's tail that you were going to take just now?" Xiao Yi said with a roll of his eyes.
"Well, that person wants to eat it, and besides, you can sell it to customers. ”
"We've already set the menu today, we can't add any more dishes, you want to exhaust me. Xiao Yi complained, looking at Mu Ran's pretended aggrieved expression, he shook his head helplessly and said, "You really want to eat, I'll make it for you tomorrow, it's really not okay today." ”
Mu Ran immediately showed a happy smile, she likes to eat pig's tail very much, and the crispy bones inside are particularly felt.
Just when Xiao Yi and the others bought good things and walked out of the supermarket, Zhao Xiaodao called.
"What's the matter with Xiao Dao?"
"Brother Yi, buy some Band-Aids when you come back. ”
"What's wrong? Is someone hurt?"
"Well, Sister Xiao's hand was scratched by a kitchen knife, it's not a big deal. ”
"Okay, I see. ”
Xiao Yi hung up the phone and said to Mu Ran: "You wait here first, and then I'll go in and buy something." ”
"What's wrong?"
"Yang Mi's crazy girl got a knife on the handle, I'm going to have to buy some band-aids or something. ”
"Ahh ”
Xiao Yi nodded, put his things next to the bicycle, and walked into the supermarket again. After a while, he came out again, still carrying a bag of things in his hand.
"Why did you buy so much?" Mu Ran asked strangely.
"I forgot to prepare before, so I bought some iodine wine, gauze and other things, in case anyone gets hurt again, it can be dealt with. ”
......
When the two returned to the restaurant, they learned that Yang Mi wanted to cook by herself on a whim today, and claimed that he could make scrambled eggs with tomatoes, so he ran into the kitchen and started to do it himself.
As a result, when cutting the tomatoes, he directly scratched his hand, but the tomatoes were not cut properly!
Just after a little time, customers came to the restaurant one after another. But Xiao Yi found that most of the guests who came today were here yesterday, and many of them were tourists from China.
Such a situation made Xiao Yi frown. Although it is a good thing to open a restaurant and have repeat customers, I am now doing a show, and these Chinese tourists can come to cheer or come to see the stars, which I understand very well, but it is not the effect of the show I want.
However, he did not drive the guests away, but prepared to discuss with the people of the program team after the business ended today.
It's been another busy day, although Xiao Yi has changed the menu, but because there are more customers than yesterday, they are not more idle than yesterday.
When he returned to his residence in the evening, Xiao Yi looked at the tired people, and announced directly: "Let's rest tomorrow, everyone is tired, take a day off tomorrow, have a good time on the island, and continue the day after tomorrow." ”
"Wow, really, Xiao Yi, you're so good!" Yang Mi shouted first, and the other people were also happy, Xiao Yi smiled and went out to find someone from the program team.
"Xiao Yi, why are you here?"
Xiao Yi came to the place where the program team was resting and directly found the on-site director Zhang Hui.
"Lao Zhang, I'm here to tell you something. ”
"Okay, you're the chief director, if you have something to say directly. Zhang Hui said with a smile.
"That's right, I found a problem today, most of the guests who came at noon and afternoon were people who had already been here yesterday, and many of them were Chinese tourists. ”
"What's wrong with that? It's normal for a restaurant to have repeat customers. Zhang Hui said suspiciously.
"But we're not here to open a restaurant, we're recording a variety show, and if it's always like this, the show will be very poor. Xiao Yi shook his head and said.
Zhang Hui was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, "I understand what you say, you mean that if you are the same guest every day, there will be no accidents, and the highlights of the show will be very few, and it will become the same, right?"
"Yes, that's it, so I think we have to think of a way to artificially control the customers who have already come to the restaurant, just one or two groups of regular customers every day, and it can't be all Chinese tourists!" Xiao Yi said.
"Well, what you said makes sense, then I'll arrange it later. ”
"Well, by the way, let's give everyone a day off tomorrow, everyone is finally coming to play, a few PD work hard, just follow the shooting, and the others will play by themselves, and the cost company will come out. ”
"This relationship is good, you, the chief director, are still quite good at doing things. Zhang Hui said with a smile, "Let me tell you a good news, our Xiao Dong has spoken, tomorrow everyone will rest collectively and have a good day on the island, and the company will pay for it!"
"Wow, long live Xiao Dong!"
"Xiao Dong, I love you to death!"
"Xiao Dong, you are so good!"
......
Back at his residence, Xiao Yi came to Mu Ran's bedroom, but Yang Mi and Zhao Xiaodao were also inside, all three of them were wearing pajamas, nibbling on fruit while holding a tablet and watching.
"What are you looking at?"
"A very popular TV series recently, called "The Secret History of the Deep Palace", is very good. Mu Ran said.
"It's a court drama again, what's so good. ”
"Cut, that's because you don't know how to appreciate. Yang Mi said disdainfully.
"Hey, I don't know how to appreciate it, my buddies will also shoot a court drama for you to see, what is a real court drama!" Xiao Yi sat on the chair and said.
"Are you going to make a court drama, will you be able to make a TV series?" Yang Mi said suspiciously.
"Dude can even make movies, what can't be done in TV series. ”
"Do you have a script, then?"
"I wrote the script myself, what a big deal. ”
"Hmph, as much as you can brag, the script of the court drama is so easy to write. This time, even Mu Ran spoke, although she knew that Xiao Yi could write scripts, but the scripts of court dramas were not so easy to write.
"Hey, don't believe it yet, buddy, I'll write you a script after the New Year. Xiao Yi said unconvinced, thinking in his heart that the Qing court drama that was popular all over Asia in his previous life and even broadcast in the United States should be moved over, so that the people of this world can see what a real court drama is!
"I think if you really want to make a TV series, or shoot a war of resistance against Japanese aggression, I actually like to watch those TV series with the theme of the war of resistance the most, but the current TV series of the war of resistance are too substandard, there will be a situation of tearing devils, I really obey the screenwriters of these TV series. Mu Ran said.
"Yes, last time I received the script of an anti-Japanese war drama, there was a scene in which the heroine I played killed more than 100 devils with her bare hands, and I directly pushed it away, and these screenwriters really dared to think that a weak woman killed hundreds of devils with guns with her bare hands, do they think the protagonist is Ultraman?" Yang Mi said.
"Okay, then buddy will write another script on the theme of the Anti-Japanese War!" Xiao Yi is also very disgusted with these TV series, in his previous life, as a soldier, he liked to watch TV series with the theme of the Anti-Japanese War, but the anti-Japanese war dramas at that time were not the most thunderous, only more thunderous. I didn't expect it to be the same situation in a different time and space. This is also the reason why he rarely watches TV, there is really nothing to see.
"You can't be serious, right?" Mu Ran asked with some surprise.
"Of course, when did buddy say nonsense, since he said it, he had to do it. Xiao Yi said.
"You haven't finished filming this variety show yet, so you're thinking about making a TV series?" asked Mu Ran.
"What's this, this show will only end in a little more than a month, and it won't take much effort for me to write the script. Moreover, I wasn't ready to shoot the TV series myself, so I just had to find two people in the company to be in charge of filming when the time came. Xiao Yi said.
"That's okay, I thought you were going to be the director yourself to make a TV series. Mu Ran nodded.
