Chapter 321: Interview
The next day, Editor-in-Chief Mo really sent a message.
[Chef Gao, are you free next?] ]
After this news was sent, seeing that Gao Dian had not replied, his heart couldn't help but sink to the bottom.
Asking again and again is already the limit of Editor-in-Chief Mo.
He is one of the editors-in-chief of "Flavor", when did he have to be so attentive to give an interview to someone?
But he can't help it, this time it's really his fault, and Gao Dian's interview is also very important.
It was also a helpless move to give up Gao Dian's interview at the beginning, and if he could, he didn't want to do it. But he had to stand in the perspective of "Flavor", public opinion is the general trend, and "Flavor" does not dare to disobey the general trend.
At least...... On the bright side, this is true.
Who knew that there was a reversal in this matter, which not only made Gao Dian turn over, but also became more famous than before.
According to the above, Gao Dian's interview is a must.
The reason for this is that there are two considerations.
First, "Flavor" conducted an exclusive interview with the top three chefs of the Red Case Chef Group of the International Young Chef Cooking Competition, so the White Case Chef should also conduct an exclusive interview.
After all, "Flavor" is known as the most authoritative food magazine in China, and if it only interviews the chef of the red case, and does not interview the chef of the white case, it will be too biased, and the impact on credibility is still relatively large.
Of course, Gao Dian is not the only chef in the white case, even if you don't choose Gao Dian, there are other options.
That's another reason, Flavor wants to grow!
Although today's "Flavor" is known as the most authoritative food magazine in China, there is still a long way to go compared to the status of Michelin.
Michelin is arguably the most representative food magazine, and its development has become more than just a food magazine.
Of course, Michelin's predecessor was nothing more than a road food guide, and it is also a result of the times and coincidences that it has developed to the point where it is today.
"Flavor" aims to become the Michelin of China, but the influence of "Flavor" is not enough now.
Let's put it this way, there are food magazines that are more professional than Michelin, but in terms of influence, no one can compare.
Michelin's reputation is known not only to people in the industry, but also to many people outside the industry. Moreover, it has become the only guide for outsiders to judge food.
You know, there are always more outsiders than insiders, which is why Michelin's influence is so great.
If "Flavor" wants to become the Michelin of China, what it needs to do is to expand its popularity and influence.
But the average chef is not well-known to the layman. For example, if you pull a passer-by on the road and ask him if he knows who Wei Lianzhang is, there is a high probability that he will shake his head.
And it is not possible to ask celebrities to endorse, "Flavor" is a professional food magazine and evaluation agency, and celebrity endorsement is not suitable.
Gao Dian is different, due to the different environment today, Gao Dian has become a star chef and has a high popularity.
If "Flavor" can interview him, then "Flavor" may be able to increase its popularity a lot.
In fact, the reason why "Flavor" wanted to interview the top three chefs of the Young Chef Cooking Competition is also in this regard, which is a matter of mutual benefit.
Editor-in-chief Mo has no hope in his heart, and it's a big deal that he, the editor-in-chief, resigns.
Suddenly, his mobile phone rang, and he picked it up to see that it was actually a message from Gao Dian.
[Editor-in-Chief Mo, about the interview, I really want to do it quickly, but recently I have been riddled with affairs, and the Internet turmoil some time ago has had a great impact on the reputation of my Dianxin Shop, and now I am trying to find a way to restore my reputation, and I really can't get away. If Editor-in-Chief Mo is willing, he might as well wait a little longer. ]
After reading the news, Editor-in-Chief Mo raised his eyebrows.
He is also a writer, and he can still understand the words in this paragraph.
The so-called refusal is not really refusal, if it is really refusal, there is no need to say so much, and it is specially pointed out.
The refusal is fake, the request is real.
"Do you want to raise the profile of Dianxin Shop? It's not impossible. ”
Editor-in-Chief Mo pondered.
Although this requirement does not conform to the rules of the "Flavor" interview, after all, the interview is only an interview with an individual, and the restaurant behind it is not mentioned.
But Gao Dian is the person above who is eager to conduct an interview, so he must be able to make an exception.
Thinking of this, Editor-in-Chief Mo made a phone call and went out, and he hung up the phone after a while.
Tap your finger on the screen to start editing the message.
[Chef Gao's troubles, I can do my best to help Chef Gao promote it on "Flavor", I think I can save some reputation.] ]
Gao Dian received the news and immediately laughed.
The other party agreed.
[That's really great, I don't know when Editor-in-Chief Mo will be free, let's meet and talk in detail?] ]
Seeing the news, Editor-in-Chief Mo couldn't help laughing.
[I have time today.] ]
[Then let's be late in the evening, there are customers in the store, and it is not convenient.] ]
[Okay, I'll go find Chef Gao later.] ]
After the two communicated, they decided to conduct an exclusive interview tonight.
Gao Dian could feel the eagerness of Editor-in-Chief Mo, if he hadn't said that there were still people at night, it was estimated that Editor-in-Chief Mo would have to come over now.
Is there no hurry?
This interview has been delayed for so long, and if it drags on, when Gao Dian's popularity completely dissipates, then it will be useless to do this interview again.
Gao Dian put away his mobile phone and said to Yan Sen: "It will close early." ”
Although Yan Sen was a little puzzled, he still agreed.
Time flies.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Gao Dian closed.
Yan Sen was sent back by him, and he waited alone in the store.
It didn't take long for Editor-in-Chief Mo to walk in with a smile and say, "Chef Gao! ”
"Editor-in-Chief Mo, please be seated." Gao Dian nodded.
After Editor-in-Chief Mo sat down, the two did not exchange too many pleasantries and began to conduct interviews.
Editor-in-Chief Mo prepared many questions, some of which Gao Dian was able to answer, and some of which Gao Dian was inconvenient to answer.
For example, who is Master Gao Dian.
Editor-in-Chief Mo didn't care, he prepared a lot of questions, and it didn't matter if he didn't answer some questions.
The two chatted for a long time, and Editor-in-Chief Mo had collected enough questions to go back to writing the manuscript.
In his speech, he also said that he would introduce Dianxin Shop in an exclusive interview.
Gao Dian is still quite satisfied with this, as long as he can mention it.
He didn't expect Editor-in-Chief Mo to give Dianxinpu much space, which is unrealistic, after all, people are doing his personal interviews, not Dianxinpu's interviews.
As long as it can be mentioned, then it is also good for the Dianxin shop.
At the end of the interview, Editor-in-Chief Mo suddenly said: "Mr. Gao, do you want to increase the popularity of Dianxinpu and enter the high-end ranks in the future, right?" ”
Gao Dian nodded, he didn't hide anything, it was not strange that Editor-in-Chief Mo could think of it, it would be strange if he couldn't think of it.
"If so, it's just a mention of this interview, and the fame boost is limited." Editor-in-chief Mo said.
Gao Dian said nonchalantly: "As long as you can improve a little, it's good." ”
Editor-in-Chief Mo smiled and said: "I have a way here, if it can be done, the popularity will be much higher than this interview." ”
When Gao Dian heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly asked, "I don't know what the method is?" ”
"Does Mr. Gao know about the three lists?" Editor-in-Chief Mo asked.
"Three lists? I'm sorry, I'm lonely. Gao Dian said.
Gao Dian is a halfway monk, and he didn't know about these things about chefs, but then he gradually became a novice, and he knew more things.
But his eyes are limited to chefs, and he doesn't know anything about food magazines, lists, or anything else.
"These three lists are divided into three lists: A, B, and C, of which List A is to rank high-end hotels, List B is to rank mid-range hotels, and List C is to rank low-end hotels." Editor-in-chief Mo said.
When Gao Dian heard this, he vaguely understood what he meant, and said, "Editor-in-chief Mo, what do you mean, let me enter the C list?" ”
Now Gaodian is actually a low-end restaurant, the store is small, the price is not expensive, the decoration is average, not to mention the service, almost equal to nothing.
Many roadside restaurants are like this.
Editor-in-Chief Mo shook his head and said: "No, although the C list was established, it is not authoritative enough, and its influence is very limited. ”
"Oh? Why is that? Gao Dian asked curiously.
"Because there are too many low-end restaurants, they can't be counted, and there are many delicious restaurants that have not been counted at all." Editor-in-chief Mo said.
"So, what's the point of this list?" Gao Dian was puzzled.
"There is still meaning, after all, we are a food magazine, but also a food guide for many people, not only high-end hotels, but also low-end restaurants.
Although the statistics are not comprehensive enough, those who can enter the C list must meet certain requirements for taste. ”
Editor-in-chief Mo said.
Hearing this, Gao Dian nodded suddenly.
"What is the way that Editor-in-Chief Mo is?" Gao Dian asked.
"Entering the B list, compared with the C list, the B list is more authoritative and influential. If Dianxin Shop can enter the B list, or even win the first place in the B list, then it will be much easier to advance to the high-end A list in the future. Editor-in-chief Mo said.
Gao Dian heard this and thought about it seriously.
"But the second list is a mid-range hotel, and my Dianxin shop is just a low-end hotel, how can I be on the list?" Gao Dian asked.
"Mr. Gao can expand the store and improve the variety and quality of dishes." Editor-in-Chief Mo said with a smile.
It's easy to say, but it's not easy to do.
Of course, according to Editor-in-Chief Mo, the B list is very influential, so if he can enter the list, his reputation will naturally start.
"I'll think about it." Gao Dian said.
"Well, Mr. Gao thinks about it slowly." Editor-in-Chief Mo said with a smile.
After a pause, Editor-in-Chief Mo said: "If Mr. Gao is ready that day, notify me, and I will bring someone here immediately." ”
These words are a promise, and they are also a favor sent by Editor-in-Chief Mo.
Now, Gao Dian may not know the value of this, but he will know later, if he can get to that time.
When Gao Dian heard this, he didn't care too much, and nodded: "Okay, then I'll thank Editor-in-Chief Mo here." ”
"It's okay, it's just a small thing." Editor-in-Chief Mo said with a smile.
He got up and said to Gao Dian: "It's not too early, I'll leave first, and in the future, I may need Mr. Gao to take a little time to take a photo, and I won't delay Mr. Gao for too long." ”
has come to this point, the interview has been accepted, and Gao Dian also readily agreed to take pictures.
Editor-in-chief Mo said goodbye and left, and Gao Dian saw him off.
He was thinking about how to turn the hotel into a mid-range hotel.
As for high-end hotels, it is not so easy, not that the price is high and the decoration is good.
Now he is facing three problems, one is that he has not accumulated enough himself, and he has too few noodles. The second is that there is no money, bigger stores, better decoration, more people, all need money. As for the third one, it is a shortage of people and good chefs.
"There is a long way to go, forget it, don't think about this for the time being, let's make money and improve ourselves first." Gao Dian muttered to himself.
On the third day, Gao Dian went to take a photo, which was the first time he took a photo in the spotlight, and he was still a little uncomfortable.
It is said that one or two photos will be selected to be placed in the magazine at that time, and Gao Dian is still looking forward to this.
There is still a period of time before the release of the next issue of "Flavor", and it is estimated that Gao Dian will have to wait for some time to see his photos.
At the end of the photoshoot, the interview is completely over for Gao Dian.
As for what happened after that, it didn't have much to do with him without his involvement.
…………
As the days passed, Gao Dian worked harder to improve himself these days.
He has a goal and a direction to work towards.
Before, he had always had the idea of making Dianxinpu high-end, but how to achieve high-end, Gao Dian had no goal in his heart, or no direction.
He didn't have much experience in this area, opened a store for the first time, and didn't understand anything.
In the past, although he worked hard, he was more freewheeling, and to put it simply, he wanted to come out of one way, and there was no rule.
For example, when his head was hot, he wanted to improve the soup dumplings, but when he failed, he turned his head to learn something else.
But since Editor-in-Chief Mo's words, Gao Dian has a goal.
Do it in the middle first and enter the B list.
The direction of efforts is naturally to improve one's own accumulation, that is, to learn more pastries; There is also the need to work hard to make money, at least to make enough principal.
The third point is that Gao Dian has nothing to do for the time being.
But there's no hurry, he can't open a mid-range restaurant now.
In any case, after having a clear direction of effort, Gao Dian is more motivated.
Yan Sen was still struggling with steamed buns, and he found that his teacher had made many kinds of pastries that had never been made before, and each one tasted good.
Yan Sen is even more combative, it turns out that there are so many teachers, as long as he studies hard, he will definitely be able to learn more noodles in the future.
When he learns, he will go home and open a shop, like the teacher, and the business will be full every day.
Yan Sen, who fell into a beautiful fantasy, was also more motivated.
Both teachers and students are improving, working very hard, but in their spare time, they have not stopped working hard.
Wei Qiaoyi would occasionally come to the store, but soon left with a discount.
Recently, Wei Qiaoyi has been a little mysterious, and she doesn't know what she's doing.
