The door suddenly opened a crack, and Yang Xuan carefully squeezed in and whispered a few words to Zhang Yingxia. Zhang Yingxia got up and followed Yang Xuan out.

After Zhang Yingxia closes the door. Some of the people in the lounge knew each other, and they began to communicate in a whisper:

"Wow, it's Zhang Yingxia, I didn't expect him to be a real person!"

"The program team invited him to come, and it is estimated that he will not be eliminated today. ”

"Definitely. During this time, "Southern Love Story" was so popular, but if the program planning IQ is higher than 80, he will not be eliminated. It's up to him to attract the audience. There are so many people here, he should be the safest. Among the eliminated people, it is estimated that it is one of the nine of us, everyone depends on their ability!"

"Anyway, if you can get the first place this time, I heard that there is a bonus of 500,000 yuan!"

"Isn't it? The program team is so fierce? A new show dares to play like this? It won't be in the end, and all kinds of drags won't give it, right?"

"Probably not, it is said that the program team even invited the official judges of the cooking competition this time. It seems that it is going to be an innovation, it shouldn't be like some small programs, seeing that the ratings are low, and even the announcement fee is dragged, right?"

"Eh, it's all here. What do you want to do so much?"

Shen Zixuan watched all this silently, but felt that life was really colorful. As long as you live long, you can see everything. When I was in college, I guess no one would have thought that a student studying mechanical manufacturing would achieve such results in the entertainment industry, right?

While everyone was talking, the door opened, and as Zhang Yingxia pushed the door in, the lounge became quiet again.

Zhang Yingxia has been accustomed to being watched by people during this time, and he has long been able to turn a blind eye to the seven or eight pairs of eyes in the lounge. Gong Sha called him out just now, saying that the matter of the house has an eyebrow, and when the recording here is completed, he can go to see the house.

Just when Shen Zixuan couldn't help but be curious and wanted to ask Zhang Yingxia what he was doing when he went out, the door opened again.

The choreographer of the show walked in with a few subordinates: "Everyone, please follow me to the recording studio." ”

…………

When the studio was opened. The group walked in with curiosity. In the studio surrounded by three sides, there are even upper and lower floors, and there are even front and rear compartments. Five rows of kitchen counters. This should be the place where everyone will work later. On everyone's right, there is a row of food shelves. It has everything from fresh vegetables to frozen meat and seafood.

According to the instructions of the choreographer when they were out before, the group walked to the front of the kitchen counter, where three judges, a man and two women, were already waiting. Zhang Yingxia remembered the words of the choreographer, these three were also judges of last year's Nanshi Three-Star Chef Competition. A true professional.

The man in the black suit and black shirt is the chef of a five-star restaurant chain in China, Jiang Lan. Next to him, a chubby short-haired lady wearing a women's suit and top, is a caterer engaged in the sales and promotion of small restaurants in the catering industry, Lu Zhiying. There is also a lady with a ponytail, who is a well-known creative cultural designer of cuisine in the southern city circle, Shen Xinyi. The introductions of the first two are easy to understand, but the last one, what is the title of the creative cultural engineer of cuisine? But can your introduction be a little more reliable? Zhang Yingxia said in his heart.

A few of the judges may have been accustomed to this situation, or they had really done their job. Facing ten artists in the entertainment industry, the three of them did not change their faces, and looked at Zhang Yingxia and his party of ten people with scrutinizing eyes.

Jiang Lan said: "Seeing each other is fate. All of you are here today for the sake of being the first. I don't talk nonsense much either. After saying that, Jiang Lan tied his black apron in an extremely swift way. gave Zhang Yingxia and his entourage a performance, what is real potato shredding. In the exclamation of everyone, Jiang Lan took out a needle more than three inches long and about two millimeters wide from her apron, and in the exclamation of everyone. Jiang Lan pulled a random shredded potato through the eye of a needle that was two millimeters wide.

In the amazement of everyone, Jiang Lan said: "This is the first task that everyone has to do, the potato shreds thread the needle, and the first three who complete it will be able to get the exemption that will not be eliminated today." Next, please find your own kitchen counter according to the assigned location. Ready to get started. ”

Everyone was stunned. This trick is so big?

Zhang Yingxia touched his chin, Damn, Ma Wei is a little ruthless this time! His kitchen counter is on the left side of the second row, close to the camera. Next to him is Shen Zixuan. The senior sister looked at several potatoes on her kitchen counter and was stunned.

"Senior sister, what are you doing? Hurry up and cut it?" Zhang Yingxia reminded in a low voice.

"Potatoes are either cut into pieces at home, or pureed, or shredded, and they are all sieve-planed. I haven't cut it into shreds!" Shen Zixuan was about to cry.

"Now record the show, no matter how bad it is, you have to fight!"

"Oh!" Shen Zixuan suddenly understood, and quickly lowered his head and cut it up like Jiang Lan. When the program is recorded, the most taboo is not to do anything or do too many useless actions. When you encounter these two things, you can hate to death in the later stage.

Zhang Yingxia is no stranger to fast knives, and the only thing he worries about is the first step of thinly cutting potato slices. Just now, Jiang Lan almost cut the potato slices to reveal the light.

After taking a potato that showed a slightly flat, going down with three knives, cutting out three planes, and sticking the widest side to the cutting board, Zhang Yingxia began to slice carefully. Just as he had just cut two slices, someone had already raised his hand to signal that it was done.

It was Mr. Li Guirong. Under the gaze of the three judges, the task of threading three shredded potatoes was completed.

Zhang Yingxia looked impressed, this gentleman couldn't see the age of knowing the destiny of heaven at all, he was happy. I didn't expect this cooking knife to be good.

After Zhang Yingxia cut the fourth slice, he put the potato pieces aside. After carefully staggering the four slices of potatoes that were as thin as cicada wings, there was a sound of quick knives. Zhang Yingxia's shredded potatoes are also ready.

The sound of his "duoduoduo" knife just now attracted the attention of the judges. Without waiting for him to raise his hand, the three judges who had wanted to return to their positions came directly to him.

Jiang Lan praised: "The knife skills are good!"

Zhang Yingxia said: "It's okay!"

Ms. Shen Xinyi said, "I heard that you have done a cooking show?"

"I've been doing it for a few months!" Zhang Yingxia replied honestly. Among the three, he is more afraid of this one, because she is the only one who doesn't look very kind, with big forehead, thin eyebrows and high cheekbones, even if she wears a pair of rimless glasses, she still shows a trace of meanness. Although it is not good to judge people by their appearance.

Jiang Lan said: "Then I'll conduct an evaluation!" Although the program team said that Zhang Yingxia could be a little more relaxed, it didn't seem to be needed.

In Shen Zixuan's envious face, Zhang Yingxia's three shredded potatoes all passed through the pinholes.

"Congratulations, you've been granted immunity!" all three judges congratulated.

Later, when another player also passed the test. The choreographer came in to play the board, let everyone take a break, and then conduct a half-hour personal interview.

………………

Gong Sha exchanged business cards with several agents in the broker's lounge and chatted for a while. took Yang Xuan to the outside of the studio.

"Sister Sha, what's wrong?" the little assistant could see that Gong Sha had something on her mind.

"Upset. Gong Sha said bluntly.

Yang Xuan looked at the studio: "Is it about Brother Yingxia?" I heard that the planning department has quarreled several times!"

"Hmm!" Gong Sha nodded.

When this year's "Southern Love Story" has been a hit. The planning department once again put the issue of "pushing Zhang Yingxia" into the course. As a result, just like last year, there were two factions. There was no unanimity. Zhang Yingxia's current position is very awkward, he is the male supporting actor of a big hit drama. The popularity of the audience is there, and what is needed is to consolidate the popularity. So the company arranged a TV station with the same theme for him. But what about after that?

…………

The so-called company pushes, which are all positioned as idols, and the company mainly promotes the scripts of the idol faction and strives for various resources to be on camera. That's when brokerage firms are more willing to do it.

What is an idol? An idol is not only a type of person, but also a kind of commercial value behavior. It usually refers to the brokerage company investing 100 yuan to package a commodity worth 20 yuan. Sell it for a thousand or more.

For different audiences, male and female artists are packaged in various images. Warm, cool. Neighbor class, forest system, high cold fan. For teenage girls, this is a proper atrium killer. Therefore, brokerage companies in the entertainment industry like to launch various men's and women's groups, which is like this. An idol group, with all the positioning, is equivalent to bundling, buying a photo, and bringing several types of idols home. (In the previous life, the men's and women's groups in South Korea were all of this category, so don't think that idols should be what you see on TV, they are just the packaging and positioning of the agency, not real people.) After seven or eight years of pretending to be an idol like that, he (she) himself or herself pretended to want to vomit. ）

This kind of support planning is the planning that can completely control an artist. It is the planning that the brokerage company wants, small input and large output, large input, and greater output. The standard of artists required for such a plan is very low. There are only three things: good-looking, listening to the arrangement, and being single. Especially the last one, which is the most important.

In the entertainment industry, there are many types of idols, and there are all kinds of them. I have never heard of it, the idol of marriage. Only single idols can keep fans in a frenzy.

…………

However, as to whether Zhang Yingxia is worthy of praise, the planning department has discussed this issue more than five times, but after each discussion starts, it is basically a quarrel in addition to a quarrel. There was no unanimity at all.

Those who agree with the praise list a series of evidence: physiognomy is 80 or more. 90 points for creative ability (based on current creative scores). Acting skills above 75 are lacking in luck and recognition of awards, which can be achieved by throwing resources to support it. Highly educated, there is no major problem with human accidents. Obey the arrangement, and bear hardships and stand hard work when running the notice.

And there is only one person who opposes it: he is married, and he is married at this age when he should be praised and worked hard, and he has children.

The company's large investment means that it will be recycled. The short-term is to establish a character brand image, and the long-term is the economic gain.

And this point is all ruined by a marriage problem. Moreover, there are many people who know that he is married, and when he signed the contract, he did not deliberately hide the situation of his marriage. So, as long as there is a heart. It's not hard to know the news. Therefore, secrecy is very difficult.

Because of the difficulty, the cost of confidentiality is high, and the investment in support has been increased invisibly. But it is easy to be pierced.

This kind of hard to do and easy to break, invest in large income and small support programs. It has always been the next choice in the planning plan. It's strange if you can pass!

Such planning can be carried out. Unless it is a dust agency, the single male artists are dead.

………………

In the entertainment industry, the marriage of an artist is not just two people forming a family. For the agency, it is also related to the change of the artist's positioning.

Before getting married, you can position yourself as an idol or a powerful faction.

After getting married, no matter what faction you are, the media will remove you from the idol faction.

Ah, you say you're a powerful faction? Come on, you're all powerful, can't you be able to play any play? The company is not hidden, how can there be no chance of getting ahead?

Another example is media reports: Before you got married, the media usually compared you with other artists. This kind of horizontal comparison, whether it is good or bad, can be pushed and shouted, "This is slander by the opponent!" and then the strength is whitewashed, and it is still a circle of fans.

When you get married, or even after divorce, once something goes wrong, the reviews in the entertainment industry will say: How did this product get married, is it still the same as before? or 'How good was it before, why is it like this now?' This kind of "comparing you with yourself, but the result is negating yourself" is almost fatal to artists.

…………

Gong Sha has also heard of the controversy in the planning department. What bothers her the most is. Obviously, it is relying on a company, but the planning department can't settle down in a day, which means that Zhang Yingxia can only rely on Gong Sha's unreliable relationship. Messed up in the entertainment industry.
