Chapter 48 China on the Tip of the Tongue

"Xiaoqiu, I think our program has reached a bottleneck before, and we need a breakthrough in order to make a better program." Jiang Hao said.

"What program, is it still a rant?" Zhen Xiaoqiu asked.

rant class,

Jiang Haoxin said, I don't dare to complain about this show.

Although the two have now created a peeing beef ball company, they still haven't given up on filming TV shows. Fortunately, the company is on the right track, and professional managers are watching, so the two bosses don't have to worry about it.

"I'm going to go to the mainland to shoot food and make a documentary. I have chosen the name. It's called "A Bite of China". I have a plan here, you can read it first."

Jiang Hao said, took out a not-so-thick document and handed it to Zhen Xiaoqiu, which he drove out in the past two days.

Zhen Xiaoqiu read it quickly and looked at Jiang Hao with surprised eyes: "This idea is really good, and these lines, how did you think of them, saturated fatty acids, crude fat, crude fiber, various amino acids, very big feeling on."

"And these passages, are you writing poetry:

Home, where life begins, people's life is on the way home. Under the same roof, they build fires, cook meals, and use food to unite and comfort their families. The bland pots and pans are filled with Chinese-style life and reflect Chinese-style ethics. People grow, fall in love, separate, and reunite. Homemade delicious, but also the taste of life. "

"This is China with great changes. People and food are moving faster than ever. No matter how hurried their footsteps are, no matter how involuntarily they come, there is always a taste in their own way. , three times a day, reminds us on the tip of the tongue, recognize where tomorrow is going, and don't forget where yesterday came from."

"Having a half-life career brings a rich family business, full of children and grandchildren, walking in the footsteps of a lifetime, the starting point, the end point, and in the final analysis, it is where the family is. This is the belief that the Chinese people have upheld for thousands of years. Simple, but powerful."

Jiang Haodao: "I plan to send three teams to shoot this show separately. The content of the filming must have artistic value and humanistic feelings, so that the audience can accept the spiritual baptism while watching the food."

"We want to achieve not only visual enjoyment, taste experience, but also spiritual shock, so that Hong Kong audiences and even the whole world in Asia can see what the food in the mainland looks like."

Zhen Xiaoqiu frowned and said, "The scale of your documentary is too big, and the cost is definitely not small. ATV will definitely not approve it."

"I'm going to invest my own money." Jiang Hao said.

What does he use to make money for, isn't it for these things?

"Invest your own money. In your plan, you have to travel all over the country. This investment is not small." Xiao Qiu said.

"I estimated that about 3 million would be enough for the first phase." Back then, the tip of the tongue team only spent 4.5 million for filming, and that was in 2012.

In fact, as long as this show is filmed, that is, the first phase is invested, and the subsequent films are sold, plus the advertising fee, there should be some profit, at least no loss.

As for Jiang Hao, his purpose is to enjoy the extensive and profound Chinese cuisine through the convenience of this program, which is not comparable to Hong Kong.

It is the dream of many people to eat all over the north and south of the river and appreciate the beauty of delicious food from all over the country. Jiang Hao also had it in those days.

Unfortunately, it was only a luxury before.

Now, finally have the opportunity to make this dream come true.

"Three teams, one to the south, the theme is bamboo, one to the north, the theme is lake fresh, and the third I plan to send to the Shaolin Temple, to shoot the Shaolin Temple, and shoot Shaolin food." Jiang Haodao.

Zhen Xiaoqiu looked surprised: "Shaolin Temple! Food! Does Shaolin Temple have food?"

"Who knows, but at least the audience must be very curious, the Shaolin Temple is very famous." Jiang Hao said.

I don’t know about other worlds. Anyway, this world should exist. Isn’t Tang Niu born in the kitchen of Shaolin Temple, and the last dish that Stephen Zhou cooked was Buddha Jumping Over the Wall. The monks in this world may eat meat.

Now that he has money, he can taste delicious food from all over the world. If possible, he also wants to learn the skills of cooking. Although Stephen Zhou only has a third-rate cooking level, he still has the basics. Become a generation of celebrity chefs.

Zhen Xiaoqiu arrived at ATV. Now she is also a famous host. She told the leader about her idea and wanted to record a documentary about mainland cuisine. The leader agreed at first, but when she revealed the shooting plan, the leader immediately shook his head.

There are only a few episodes in one issue, but the filming cost is 3 million. Isn't this burning money? You know, documentaries rarely make money, and they don't do business that loses money.

Zhen Xiaoqiu and Jiang Hao had already speculated on this aspect before. Zhen Xiaoqiu proposed to rent ATV's personnel and equipment and finance the filming by himself, and the TV station leaders immediately agreed.

A few days later, the filming team was formed, and just as they were about to leave for the mainland, the Hong Kong Gourmet Association announced that it was preparing to hold the 28th Hong Kong God of Cookery Competition.

Reporters flocked to report, and some reporters interviewed Tang Niu, "May I ask Mr. Tang, as the God of Cookery, do you have any pressure, and also, do you have anything you want to say to the contestants."

Tang Niu blinked his eyes and said, "I just want to say that only those who really know how to cook delicious food can be called God of Cookery. This is the highest honor for a chef, but some people use the name of God of Cooking to swindle. , shameless."

The reporters were excited. Someone poked the microphone into Tang Niu's mouth and asked, "Do you mean Stephen Chow?"

Tang Niu didn't deny it, nodded and said, "Yes, it's Stephen Zhou. In my eyes, he is a liar." Then Tang Niu pointed to the camera and said loudly, "Stephen Zhou, if you are really capable, come and participate in this year's God of Cookery. In the competition, I, Tang Niu, are waiting for you here, if you are a tortoise with a shrunken head, then from now on, don’t use the name of the God of Cookery to swindle and deceive the God of Food.”

At the airport, Jiang Hao, Zhen Xiaoqiu and his party were carrying large and small bags, and they were stopped by a group of reporters as soon as they entered the airport.

Jiang Hao was surprised. Is he so famous now? When he went out to make a documentary, reporters were sent off for interviews.

The reporters' topic touched Jiang Hao's mouth, and someone asked loudly, "Stephen Zhou, the current God of Cookery, Tang Niu, said that you don't know how to cook at all, and they are all cheating. What do you say about this?"

"Stephen Zhou, Tang Niu invited you to participate in the new God of Cookery competition, saying that if you don't participate, it will be a tortoise, will you participate?"

"Stephen Week"

Jiang Hao was still a little confused and didn't know what was going on here, "I don't understand what you are talking about." Jiang Hao asked.

A reporter told what happened half a day ago, and Jiang Hao knew what happened. After thinking about it, he said, "Invite me to participate in the God of Cookery Conference in a month, okay, I'm very willing to participate."

"But please tell the Xiangjiang Gourmet Association that if you want me to participate, you must promise me one condition, that is, I will be allowed to taste every dish." Jiang Hao said.
