Chapter 83: Gourmet Host
When Jiang Ran was planning the program, when he was having a headache about the host selection, Zhong Chuhong said that she had a suitable candidate, but she didn't know if others were willing, which made him a little surprised and full of curiosity.
"Who? If it's really suitable, I'll go and ask for it myself, and now my face is still worth a few cents. ”
Zhong Chuhong smiled at the corner of his mouth, rolled his eyes, and said uncertainly: "Don't worry, this candidate must be suitable." But even if you do invite him personally, he won't necessarily give you face. ”
After Jiang Ran listened to Zhong Chuhong's words, he was unhappy and a little curious at the same time, he was a little thin in Hong Kong now, even Run Run Shaw and others would give him a certain amount of respect, so who is so good that he can completely ignore himself?
Jiang Ran's heart was a little unhappy, so he said to Zhong Chuhong in a deep voice: "Oh? Now there are few people in the Hong Kong film and television industry who can completely disgrace me, who are you talking about? ”
Zhong Chuhong looked at Jiang Ran a little angry, looked at him with a smile, and there was a hint of cunning in his eyes from time to time, and then said unhurriedly: "The candidate I am talking about is far away in front of me, who do you say he is?"
After Jiang Ran listened to Zhong Chuhong's words, he couldn't react a little, and he was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses, and then pointed his finger at himself and asked uncertainly: "I? Are you talking about me? How is this possible? Let me be the host?"
Zhong Chuhong nodded first to affirm Jiang Ran's conjecture, and then explained: "How is it impossible? You planned this show, and you know best about the connotation and operation of the show." ”
"Besides, your home is a catering, you should know more about various ingredients and delicacies, and you are not short of humor cells, as for what you say, since you put it forward, you must know how to do it. ”
Speaking of this, Zhong Chuhong also glanced at Jiang Ran proudly, and then asked, "Tell me, what do you not meet the conditions you just mentioned?"
"But I've never been a host, so I don't know how to host. ”
"Didn't you say that you don't need to be a professional host? Besides, this is a recording and broadcasting, and if you don't do it well, you can do it all over again, or you can edit it later. And you have another advantage of hosting this show, that is, you can promote the show through a gimmick like you, a billionaire. ”
Although Jiang Ran was still reluctant in his heart, what Zhong Chuhong said did have a certain truth. He looked at Zhong Chuhong's smug smile with a little headache, and a thought that had arisen some time ago suddenly flashed in his mind.
"Ah Hong, although I don't want to admit it, but now that I think about it, I have to say that what you said does have some truth, but I have a better idea. Jiang Ran had an idea in his heart and said to Zhong Chuhong.
"What's your idea?" Zhong Chuhong asked a little strangely when he saw that he suddenly changed his mind.
"You said that the two of us will partner to host this show together, will it be better?" Jiang Ran said.
After Zhong Chuhong heard Jiang Ran's words, he looked at his expectant eyes, thought of his visit to the crew some time ago, leaned gently into Jiang Ran's arms, and then said: "As long as you think it's appropriate, I have no opinion, but pay attention to staggering the schedule of the movie when making it." ”
In this way, the two most important host selections of the food reality show planned by Jiang Ran were decided.
In the next few days, Jiang Ran has been perfecting the planning of this show, and he has not concealed Liu Liwei and others, after all, Jiang Ran has already made the decision to produce this show, and it is not much fun to hide it.
When Jiang Ran was planning the program, he completed most of the content such as the overall framework of the program and the design of the production situation, but he handed over the specific details of the program to the production department to improve, after all, they are the ones who really understand the preferences of the audience in this era.
Of course, although Jiang Ran came up with a plan for a food program, he still did not relax his requirements for the production department, and the projects they were originally doing were still in full swing.
Jiang Ran adhered to his own consistent principles in the naming of the food program, and shamelessly continued to plagiarize the creativity of later generations, and finally the name "Xiangjiang on the Tip of the Tongue" was determined.
After "A Bite of Xiangjiang" was officially confirmed by Ran Feng, Ran Feng also began to communicate with Asia Television, Xu Xiaoming was not very optimistic about Ran Feng's project, he felt that the audience of this show was relatively too narrow.
"Mr. Qiu, I think that Ran Feng's submission of this program plan, on the one hand, the audience is too narrow, and on the other hand, their production situation is different from the current variety shows, and the audience may not be able to accept it. All I have reservations about what I expect from this project. ”
After Xu Xiaoming handed Ran Feng's plan to Qiu Degen, he analyzed the gains and losses of this project, and was not very optimistic about this project, thinking that it was too risky.
Qiu Degen looked at the program planner, and saw Jiang Ran and Zhong Chuhong written in the host column, and asked with some surprise: "Jiang Ran walked to the front desk to be the host of this show?"
"Yes, Mr. Qiu! Ran Feng took Mr. Jiang as the host and the highlight and gimmick of the show, and their ideas did have some truth, but Mr. Jiang had never been a host, which was likely to make the show backfire. ”
Qiu Degen was very disapprehensive of Jiang Ran's practice of going to the front desk to be the host, in his opinion, Jiang Ran was worth hundreds of millions, so he didn't talk about directing movies, after all, a large part of Jiang Ran's wealth was obtained through movies. But now I'm actually going to be a little host of a food show, what's going on.
However, although Qiu Degen disagreed with Jiang Ran going to the host of the show regardless of his identity, in his opinion, it is indeed a good idea to use this as a gimmick for the show, which can arouse the curiosity of the audience from the beginning and start the popularity of the show.
"Xiao Ming, I think Ran Feng's plan is not bad, anyway, our own funds are not very sufficient now, and the signing with Ran Feng is a gambling agreement, even if this project fails, the loss to our TV station is not big, if it succeeds, then we both have benefits. ”
Hearing Qiu Degen say this, Xu Xiaoming no longer raised objections, but said kindly: "What Mr. Qiu said is the same, then I will reply to Ran Feng after I go down and agree to the project." ”
After receiving a reply from Asia Television, Ran Feng began to prepare intensively for the filming of the show, in fact, the filming of the whole show is very simple, just a few cars, two hosts and a few photographers can do it.
Although the filming of the show is simple, the preliminary preparation for each episode of the show is not simple at all, because Jiang Ran hopes that there will be various contrasts and conflicts in the show.
For example, the food culture of the rich and the common people, Eastern cuisine and Western cuisine, and even the different cooking methods of one ingredient.
Jiang Ran's request made the staff need to do a lot of preparation work in the early stage of the program, and to understand all kinds of large and small restaurants and hotels in Hong Kong, up to star-rated hotels and roadside stalls, are all possible recording targets for the program team.
In the preliminary preparation, in addition to understanding the various restaurants and hotels in Hong Kong, it is also necessary to understand the process of preparing various dishes and the ingredients they need to make them.
After all, Jiang Ran tasted the food on the spot, or complained or praised, you always have something to say, if you don't understand the production of the food, the ingredients and the corresponding food culture and characteristics in advance, how to evaluate the quality of the food?
"Well, this dish is delicious!"
"That dish is so bad!"
"This dish looks so beautiful!"
"That dish is so dark that it doesn't look appetizing!"
Jiang Ran dared to guarantee that if he used such words to evaluate food a lot in his program, then after an episode, the program team would basically break up.
