Chapter 23: An Unexpected Ignition
Qi Yuan and Cheng Cheng sang here for more than two hours and sang until the evening.
In the end, he earned almost 50 pounds.
I don't know if this is the locals seeing that they are recording the show, or if Qi Yuan and Cheng Cheng's performances are really exciting.
Back at the place where they lived, Chef Lin and the three of them were very surprised to see Qi Yuan and Cheng Cheng making so much money.
"Haha, what kind of food truck are we driving, just let Qi Yuan and Cheng Cheng go out to perform!"
"Brother Lin is right, with your two ability to make money, what else is there to do with us."
Everyone laughed together.
Of course, we all know that this passage is a joke.
Whether this show makes money in the end or not is actually not very important.
And what's important?
It's the content of this show that's good-looking.
Chinese cuisine is very popular in England.
This is the Dong thing that everyone loves to watch.
As for whether you can make money, in fact, everyone doesn't care very much.
In the core design of the program "Chinese Restaurant", a very important point is to be down-to-earth.
In his previous life, there was a very popular variety show "Extreme Challenge".
Let's not talk about whether this variety show is plagiarized or not.
An important reason why it's good-looking, in addition to the fact that the main MC plays very well and is very dramatic.
In fact, there is another very important point.
That is, this show is basically recorded outdoors.
When recording outdoors, you can't avoid contact with passers-by.
And the presence of passers-by often leads to a lot of unexpected program effects.
When passers-by participate in the show, the whole show will give people a sense of intimacy.
This is more important for a good show.
Therefore, the "Chinese Restaurant" in this life is not like the "Chinese Restaurant" in the previous life.
Although it is said that he went abroad, in fact, many of the people who came to eat were some overseas Chinese and the like, and they were agreed in advance.
In this way, it seems that the show looks more fake and empty.
There is no such thing as a chance encounter.
Therefore, "Chinese Restaurant" should be improved.
Directly change to a dining cart to do business outdoors.
The guests will appear randomly.
Even, whether there will be guests or not, is unknown.
In the evening, everyone finished dinner together and sat down together to discuss tomorrow's process.
Chef Lin arranged: "When the time comes, Cheng Cheng will be in charge of cashier and ordering. Qi Yuan and I are responsible for the part of the work, Teacher Mao is responsible for serving the food to the guests, and we Meng is responsible for checking and filling in the gaps at any time, and you will make up for it where you need it. ”
Chef Lin is very experienced in cooking.
So everyone listened to his arrangement.
Everyone discussed the details together for a long time, and finally decided to get up early tomorrow, Qi Yuan made the braised pork first, and then everyone made dumplings together.
Tomorrow is the first day of business for "Chinese Restaurant", and everyone is more apprehensive.
Although I was recording a show, I was still quite nervous.
Qi Yuan finished taking a shower and opened a video with Gu Hongli.
"How? Is it still going well? Gu Hongli asked.
Qi Yuan nodded: "It's smoother than expected." How's it going at home? The baby left me, and he still sleeps to get used to it. ”
Gu Hongli pursed her lips and smiled: "She is ignorant now, she knows who you are!" Today, your mother brought Lele a small dress she made, and Lele looked good in it. ”
"yes, I'll have to show the baby to me when I come back."
"You should be honest with me when you are abroad."
"What do you say? These dozens of cameras followed, shooting 24 hours a day, and they are still shooting, let me show you, this lens also has automatic rotation. ”
Gu Hongli smiled.
It's not that she doesn't trust Qi Yuan.
She likes to watch Qi Yuan seriously explain her innocence.
This kind of appearance makes her feel very secure.
"Alright, get some rest early." Qi Yuan said, "In the future, when I finish work here, I won't talk to you, it's too late for you." ”
After a few hours of time difference, it was already early in the morning on Huaguo's side.
But Gu Hongli still didn't sleep, just waiting for Qi Yuan's video call.
"Well, today is your second day over there, right? I've got to see you. Gu Hongli said.
Qi Yuan kissed the camera and said, "Okay, I'll turn it off." You go to rest. If the child can't bring it, let my mother come over to help. ”
On this night, the guests of the entire "Chinese Restaurant" and the program team fell asleep in tension.
And they don't know all.
Qi Yuan sang "Five Hundred Miles" in the square during the day, and a video was filmed and posted on the Internet in England.
The number of views of this video on the Internet is growing rapidly.
From the first 10,000 plays, to 100,000 plays, to 10 million plays, it only took one night.
In the video, Qi Yuan is holding a guitar, playing a simple melody and singing simple lyrics.
But this song sounds so moving and exciting.
"Mom! This song, listen to it so well! Does anyone know what the name of this song is? ”
"I don't know, does anyone know? Tell us! ”
"God knows how many times I've watched this video! I haven't been home for five years, and when I heard this song, I was completely devastated, super homesick! ”
"Woooooooooooo I'll book my flight now and go home tomorrow! ”
"Five hundred miles!"
"Which country is this singing? The sound is particularly nice. ”
"Haha, he's Qi Yuan. A singer from China. ”
"The girl next to her looks so beautiful!"
"I know a lot about it, this is a Chinese show, what is it called "Chinese Restaurant", they will sell food from China there today, netizens in the vicinity, when the time comes, you can go and see it."
"So this song is called Five Hundred Miles? But why can't I find a source of music on the Internet? ”
"At present, there is only this video on the Internet, because this song is the original of the male singer in the video, and it seems that it is the first time he has performed this song in public."
"Brothers, go and see who the singer of "We Are the Champions" is, there is a surprise!"
"Wow! Wow wow! It's actually this person!? ”
Soon, powerful netizens in England picked up Qi Yuan's identity.
And among them, there is a more powerful thing.
That is, Qi Yuan is actually the author of "Sherlock Holmes" and "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"!!
These two books, after being released to England through foreign language publishers in China, have sold more than 200,000 copies of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy so far.
And the "Sherlock Holmes" series has exceeded 500,000 copies.
Such an achievement is unique for Qi Yuan as a Chinese.
It is already rare for many Chinese writers to be able to publish their works abroad.
As for the best-selling, it is even more unthinkable.
But this matter, here in Qi Yuan, has been successfully realized.
