"Hello, is there anything wrong?" The front desk of an advertising agency asked the man standing in front of him.

"What do you think of this box of imported macarons? I just picked it up at the door, did you drop it? The man handed the thing in his hand to the front desk and asked with a friendly smile.

"Me? No, we can't take this ......"

"Don't be afraid, I'm from a food company, and I just want to ask if there are any food stylists in China now." The man asked.

This person is naturally Fan Cheng.

The attraction of desserts is still very great, especially if they are imported, and the girl at the front desk still accepted the macarons after struggling.

"I'll check it out for you."

"Thank you!"

"As for the food stylist, there are more in the south, and there are very few here in the imperial capital, but I happen to know one, she seems to be a novice, and she came to us a few days ago to leave a business card."

"Oh? Can you give me his contact information? ”

"You...... You're not going to be a competitor company, are you? ”

"Stylist's contact information isn't a secret in your industry, is it? And since she came to you to hand out business cards, other companies must have also issued them. I'm not in your advertising business, so it's hard to find them, so I'm here to ask for your help. ”

"Well, that's her business card."

"Thanks!" Fan Cheng took the business card.

The business card is very simple: food stylist Wen Jia, phone ......, E-mail......

Wen Jia?

Fan Cheng found a pay phone and called.

"Hello." A young woman's voice came over the phone.

"Are you a food stylist?"

"Ah, I am! Is there a job?! The voice on the phone asked in surprise.

Fan Cheng could hear that the owner of this voice was very young, probably similar to himself.

After making an appointment with the person named Wen Jia on the phone, Fan Cheng went directly to the café where he had made the appointment.

After waiting for about forty minutes, a girl's voice sounded beside me: "Is it Mr. Fan?" I'm Wen Jia. ”

"Ah, yes!" Fan Cheng looked up at the same time as he agreed, but he was surprised that he couldn't close his mouth for several seconds.

The woman in front of her is about 1.65 meters tall, with a white top and jeans, and a simple ponytail, but she is so simple and beautiful and amazing!

Wen Jia didn't seem surprised by Fan Cheng's reaction, she blinked her eyes and asked a little mischievously, "Can I sit down?" ”

"Please sit down, it's rude, I didn't expect you to be so beautiful!"

"You didn't look for me because I was pretty, did you?" Wen Jia asked after sitting down.

"It seems that you have been invited many times for this reason, but don't worry, this is the first time I have met you." Fan Cheng also smiled.

"Yes, I've got ten jobs, and nine and a half of them aren't because of my major."

"So you turned down all those jobs?"

"How is that possible! I've taken it all! And the money collected is still more than normal! Wen Jia said.

"It's also very hard to look so beautiful...... Fan Cheng sighed.

He knew that Wen Jia said it easily, but in fact, there was not necessarily much pain behind it, such a beautiful woman, many inviters probably didn't know what a food stylist was before, and she would definitely encounter a lot of harassment at work, behind her seemingly relaxed expression, I am afraid that what is hidden is constant vigilance and extraordinary seriousness.

"Don't talk about me, let's talk about work, my hourly wage is not cheap." Wen Jia Dao.

"Do you take the job outside the imperial capital? Of course, we will take care of the room and board. Fan Cheng asked.

"Oh? Where is it? "North Forest.

"How long will it take to be in Beilin Province?"

"Three months to half a year." Fan Cheng said.

"So long? What do you do? TV series? Movie? Wen Jia asked.

"No, it's a TV station, and we're going to make a food-themed TV show."

"...... your TV station?"

"Comprehensive Entertainment Channel, what we want to do is an upgraded program of the municipal TV station."

"Entertainment channel? It's rare for a junior TV station to invite me to do a show. Wen Jia said.

"I'm afraid it's not at all, it's normal, it's the same for beginners, presumably even here, your job isn't easy to do, right?" Fan Cheng asked.

"yes, and a lot of people think I'm asking for too much." Wen Jia Dao.

"Oh? How much? Fan Cheng asked.

"Two hundred a day." Wen Jia Dao.

It is indeed high enough, 6,000 a month is a very high income in 2000.

"I'm an art major specializing in the UK, and I've interned in several British studios and production companies during college, and I came back to do this because of my dream, and this experience is not more than 200 a day, right?" Wen Jia asked.

"Oh? Did you bring a camera? Fan Cheng asked.

"Bring it!" Wen Jia took out a camera.

"Let's take a picture of these things in front of you." Fan Cheng pointed to the coffee and dessert in front of Wen Jia.

I saw her pick up a knife, fork and spoon, and fiddle with it a few times seemingly randomly, and then she looked at the sunlight outside, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied, she took out a small flashlight and asked, "Can you give me a light?" Here, forty-five degrees, yes, okay thank you! ”

When she was ready, Wen Jia picked up her camera and took a picture.

"How?" She asked, handing the camera over.

"It's very good, it's really worth two hundred a day." Fan Cheng nodded, the photos in the camera are very beautiful whether they are arranged, lit or even blank, even if you look at it from the perspective of twenty years later, it will not feel outdated, and it can be seen that Wen Jia does have enough professional ability.

"Then it's time for me to ask you, why would a junior TV station hire me to be such an expensive food stylist?" Wen Jia asked.

"Are you online?" Fan Cheng asked.

"Oh, what's wrong?"

"In recent months, some variety shows on the Internet have been quite popular, and there are funny skits and sketches."

"I know, those shows are really interesting." Wen Jia Dao.

"That's what I did." Fan Cheng said.

"Really? That's amazing, that escape room is also your idea? Wen Jia asked.

"Of course, do you like it?" Fan Cheng asked.

"I do like it, but that doesn't mean a reason for me to say yes." Wen Jia Dao.

Fan Cheng shook his head and smiled: "One hundred and fifteen a day, including your board and lodging, don't think about it, it's difficult for you to find a job here, right?" Even if you have a job, I'm afraid it's not a day or a day, and I can at least cover your room and board for a few months. ”

Wen Jia shook her head helplessly and said, "I regret it!" The first sentence before was timid! ”

Indeed, her previous performance can be seen by anyone who is eager to work.

"Moreover, the Chinese entertainment industry still knows less about your industry, so it is difficult for you to find a suitable job, I am still relatively confident in my program, although it is only a junior TV station, but the broadcast is broadcast on a municipal TV station, I am also confident that the program will definitely become popular, and as long as we sell the program to other provincial TV stations, your work will definitely be noticed." Fan Cheng said.

"I know, when I go back to pack my things, can I go to Yangji with you tomorrow?" Wen Jia Dao.

"Great, nice to work with! You won't regret it! Fan Cheng stood up and stretched out his hand.

Fan Cheng was very excited to bring back a qualified stylist from the imperial capital, and after returning to Yangji City and arranging Wen Jia to live in his own hotel, Fan Cheng immediately convened the program team to start preparing for "Food Showdown".

Two chefs have been invited, these two chefs are the chefs of the best two Northeast restaurants in Yangji City, in the future, it is not easy to invite this kind of chef to do the show, whether the chef himself or the restaurant, first of all, it will depend on whether you have this qualification, ordinary program groups and TV stations cannot invite this kind of top chef.

But now in 2000, it is relatively easy to invite them, and Cheng Gaoge brought them without much effort after they passed.

"The recording time is the day after tomorrow, are all the participants ready?" Fan Cheng asked.

"Everyone is ready, just wait for the recording!"

"Where's the ingredients?"

"Ready, too! But Fan Cheng, is it really necessary to get such good ingredients? ”

"Of course it's necessary, this is the feature of our show!" He said.

"Okay, I got it."

"If it's all ready, Brother Wang, let's take the crew for a walk today, prepare the lights and cameras before the end of the night, and we'll shoot the shots to be prepared in advance tomorrow."

"Good!" The second king agreed.

"Third uncle, have you forgotten something? This show has two hosts in your script, and now there is only one Sun Maofeng, and there is still one left, right? Wan Hong asked.

"Not bad, the other one is me." Fan Cheng said.

As soon as this sentence was spoken, it immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the shed.

"Third uncle, are you finally willing to appear on the camera!?" Wang said happily and excitedly.

"Yes, now the photographer can be found, but there is really no one here, so I have no choice but to appear." Fan Cheng said helplessly.

"It's great, I can finally see the third uncle's host." Everyone said excitedly.

"It's over, am I going to be compared now?" Sun Maofeng was worried.

"Don't expect too much, I'm just going to be okay, and I really didn't perform well in front of the camera!" Fan Cheng said.

"It's strange to believe you! I didn't miss a lot of appearances when I gave us lectures before! Wang said happily.

In the midst of intense preparations, the day passed quickly, and that night, Fan Cheng went home and the phone rang.

"Third uncle! I heard you're going to the Imperial Capital!? You didn't even tell me!?? Where's my gift!? As soon as she picked up the phone, Fan Xiaoqian's energetic voice rang.

"The third uncle is going to work, how can there be a gift." Fan Cheng said.

"No gifts!? Third uncle, you are too much! I'm angry! Fan Xiaoqian said.

"Good, good! I'm scared of you! Do you have time tomorrow weekend? How about you eat something delicious? Fan Cheng asked.

"Really!? That's pretty much it! Then I'll go find you tomorrow morning! Fan Xiaoqian said excitedly.
