"Hmm."

Li Yi nodded lightly.

He did see that Nicholas Tse deliberately burned himself.

"How do you tell?"

Nicholas Tse was puzzled.

This was his temporary thought, how could Li Yi find out?

Li Yi smiled and didn't explain.

He only discovered this when he saw the charred chicken in the pot.

Combined with a few things he had noticed before, he finally confirmed it.

Grab the lid of the casserole directly, but any adult can't do this kind of thing.

And Nicholas Tse was scalded once before, and suffered the same loss twice in a row, with his IQ, he shouldn't be so stupid.

The most important thing is that when he was flushing, Li Yi was also paying attention to him.

But his attention was not on the hot place, but from time to time he glanced at the pot of [three cups of chicken] on the stove.

During this time, he had many opportunities to turn off the fire on the stove, or to speak up and ask someone else to help him turn it off.

But he never said a word from beginning to end, as if he deliberately let the [Three Cups of Chicken] burn paste.

Therefore, after turning off the fire, Li Yi had this guess, but there was no way to be sure.

So, he came to find Nicholas Tse and wanted to ask him why to satisfy his curiosity.

Seeing Li Yi smiling and silent, Nicholas Tse understood.

After looking down at the medical staff bandaging their fingers, Nicholas Tse thanked them, and after seeing them leave, he looked at Li Yi and asked abruptly: "Do you know how much my IP of "Twelve Flavors" is worth?" ”

Hearing his words, Li Yi's doubts were immediately solved.

This IP is a program that completely relies on Nicholas Tse's popularity and personal influence, and it is a low-cost and high-yield treasure project.

The advantages and disadvantages of this kind of IP project that is deeply tied to a person are equally obvious.

Its advantage is that it has low production cost and high profit.

It doesn't require a lot of hardware investment, and in extreme cases, one person, one camera can shoot.

But its various advertising revenues will not be discounted because of the low production cost, but will only become more and more expensive.

However, its drawbacks are just as obvious.

That is the object that is bound, and the reputation and personality must not fall.

Once the person falls, then the show is over.

Nicholas Tse is the pillar of "Twelve Flavors", and his status is a bit like Li Yi himself in this season's "Chinese Restaurant", and even surpasses it.

"Chinese Restaurant" has been filmed for six seasons, and there is no Li Yi in the first six seasons, and the ratings of the show are not bad, Li Yi has only greatly raised its ceiling.

But "Twelve Flavors" was provoked by Nicholas Tse from beginning to end.

If Nicholas Tse falls, then this IP will be scrapped.

Therefore, after tasting Li Yi's [Three Cups of Chicken], Nicholas Tse knew that his pot of [Three Cups of Chicken] must not be taken out.

Once he does it, he will face the risk of collapse.

And once the character design collapses, the IP worth tens of millions will become worthless.

So, he chose to deliberately injure, divert attention, stall for time, and then "destroy the evidence".

Originally, he thought that what he did was seamless, but Li Yi saw it.

"Understood."

Li Yi nodded.

After solving the doubts in his heart, Li Yi was relieved.

As for Nicholas Tse's operation, Li Yi didn't want to give an evaluation.

But if he puts himself in his shoes and lets him choose, he will probably make the same choice as Nicholas Tse.

From a certain point of view, this is already the optimal solution made by Nicholas Tse.

Although he was slightly injured, he avoided the risk of personality collapse, kept a successful IP project, and was able to market a wave of dedication and circle a wave of fans, which is indeed beautiful.

has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and there is really no simple role.

Looking at Li Yi, Nicholas Tse said, "I shouldn't have cooked in front of you, otherwise I wouldn't have to be so passive."

Now it looks like I'm a little too busy. ”

"There is a specialization in the art industry, and you are not very rational to challenge my profession with your hobby."

Li Yi smiled: "But it's okay, make money!" No shudders! ”

Nicholas Tse shook his head with a smile: "If the audience wants to watch it, I have to do it, I can't do it, I can't hide it." ”

"That's true."

Li Yi thought for a while and reminded: "But those fans of yours should really be restrained, water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, they can make you or destroy you." ”

"I know."

Nicholas Tse said: "At the end of this year, after the publicity team expires, I will replace people." ”

When Li Yi heard this, he shook his head slightly: "It's hard to do word-of-mouth, but it's easy to do badly, a thousand-mile embankment is destroyed in an anthill, and if you can't bear that bit of liquidated damages, there may be big problems." ”

“……”

Nicholas Tse was silent, his expression tangled.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Yi didn't persuade him anymore, but just reminded: "I can't control your reputation, but I have to take care of my reputation."

As far as your craftsmanship is concerned, don't show your eyes and smash my signboard.

It just so happens that your hand is also injured, if you plan to continue shooting, you can be honest as a background board, hello, I am good. ”

His words were very polite, and they could almost be regarded as warnings.

According to Nicholas Tse's temper, if someone dared to talk to him like this, he would definitely not swallow his anger.

But after hearing Li Yi's words, he was just silent for a long time, and then nodded: "Understood." ”

Throwing a rat bogey, this handle was held by Li Yi in his hand, and he didn't dare to make a mistake.

Seeing his acquaintance, Li Yi nodded with satisfaction, and then signaled: "I'll go back first, when you adjust, when you come back." ”

"Okay."

Nicholas Tse answered.

Seeing that Li Yi turned around to leave, he opened his mouth and shouted, "Thank you." ”

Li Yi waved his hand disapprovingly, and walked back to the restaurant.

Nicholas Tse wanted to remind him not to talk about it.

Li Yi doesn't have a deep grudge against him, so naturally he won't chew the root of this tongue.

Speaking of which, Nicholas Tse didn't provoke him, he just wanted to pretend to be a wave in front of the fans, but he didn't succeed.

It's those fans who are crazy and boring.

While thinking about it, he suddenly remembered that in the barrage in the live broadcast room, his wives, little wives, ex-girlfriends, aunts and wives from the oldest to the smallest, and friends...

These crazy guys, shouldn't they be like those fans in the future?

That's scary.

No, I have to say to the program team to control the "arrogance" of these guys.

After thinking about it, he went back to the back kitchen.

"How? Brother Feng is okay, right? ”

Zhao Jinmai saw him come back and asked.

"It's okay, I'll be back in a moment."

Li Yi said casually and returned to the stove.

After dividing the stove by two, Li Yi looked at the spice bucket and side dishes that were neatly placed by Liu Yifei on the side, and nodded with satisfaction.

It's much more comfortable now.

"Yifei."

He opened his mouth and shouted, and then signaled to the receipt: "Report the name of the dish to me." ”

"Okay."

Liu Yifei came to the receipt printer, picked up a long string of receipts, and read the dishes ordered on it.

"One duck paw with mustard, one pigeon soup, one spicy chicken, one three-cup chicken, one steam pot chicken, one lotus chicken roll......"

Listening to the name of the dish she read out, Li Yi's subordinates kept putting the three pots on the stove and turning on the stove together.

The next moment, he turned on the mode of full fire.
