To put it bluntly, no large-scale event, including the Olympics, can be a loss-making event, and it cannot be held at a loss for a long time.
Do you really think you can live off sponsors alone?
Take the Olympic Games as an example. The broadcasting fees and even the fees for selling the mascots are all given to the Olympic Organizing Committee. Just like when you bought the Chinese Fuwa, the money was actually earned by the Olympic Organizing Committee.
The Bocuse d'Or is not a mascot, but it is broadcast in more than a dozen countries including France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Spain.
The organizer is very generous to the contestants, and naturally they cannot lose money. There are also tickets, and the auditorium is open to more than 30,000 people. Perhaps for many concerts of 50,000 or 80,000 people, the number of people is not too large.
But there is no bigger cooking competition, even in the world.
Everyone has different mother tongues, and the cheers they shout out are like a hodgepodge of everything, Swedish, English, French, Latin and so on.
Of course, Yuan Zhou was so smart that he actually heard the sound of the Chinese mother tongue. When he followed the source of the sound, he was also moved.
Sitting there were not only people from Zhou Shijie's exchange group, but also diners from more than twenty small shops, and Yuan Zhou's disciples. Of course, Dean and the others were conspicuous by being huddled there. After all, a group of black-haired and dark-eyed people Suddenly there were some blondes and blue eyes mixed in. It was hard not to notice.
The entire team looked like there were not many people, that is, nearly a hundred people, but like other people who came to cheer for the contestants, they all brought banners and slogans, in a standard cheerleading posture.
Yuan Zhou nodded in greeting and found a stove closest to their auditorium. It happened to be the one on the far left. It was in the corner, but it was close to President Zhou and the others.
Others have also chosen the stoves one after another. There are a total of twenty contestants, plus three assistants, which should be eighty people.
There were dozens of people gathered together. If the venue wasn't large enough, it would probably look crowded, but it didn't feel that way now.
On the higher level platform opposite the high platform is the judges' bench. This time, there are eight judges in total, sitting in a row on the chairs.
The lights over there were specially dimmed at this time.
In addition to the dazzling contestants, not many people noticed the heavyweight judges above.
"Is that the person you want to invite for breaking the rules?" Juman Li wore colored glasses. As soon as Yuan Zhou came on the stage, he looked at him from head to toe and came to the conclusion that he would be eliminated in the first round.
"Why didn't I know that the Bocuse d'Or World Culinary Competition turned into a beauty contest? Is it possible to decide the winner just by looking at it?" Auguste was also extremely rude in his words.
The eight judges this time are evenly matched, four from Juman Li's faction and four from his faction.
"Hmph!" Seeing the host come on stage, Juman Li, a good-looking old man, immediately stopped talking and put on a serious and high-end expression.
"Hello everyone, I am Jack, the host of this year's Bocuse d'Or cooking competition. Welcome to the 18th edition of the cooking competition. Now let me introduce to you all the chefs participating in this year's Twenty to Ten. ." Jack showed his humorous style as soon as he took the stage.
Jack is a handsome guy with black hair and blue eyes. He is about 1.8 meters tall and is a well-known handsome guy in the French hosting circle.
“The first one is our chef Yuan Zhou, who comes from the mysterious ancient oriental country and is known as the highest peak in Asia. Although everyone may be a little unfamiliar with Chef Yuan, he is the record holder for the highest score in the personal cooking exhibition. The chef's strength cannot be underestimated, let's welcome him." Jack introduced Yuan Zhou as soon as he opened his mouth.
As for Yuan Zhou, after hearing the host's introduction, when the spotlight hit his head, he nodded reservedly toward the audience, showing the demeanor of a master.
"Next is Chef Podraco, an outstanding figure in the classical school of French cuisine today, who is known as the King of Exquisiteness. Let's welcome him." Jack's introduction was always ups and downs.
It made people feel passionate and emotional, so the audience below was very considerate, and screamed whenever a chef was introduced.
There was a commotion, and except for Podlaco, Julian, and Stella, it was impossible to tell which chef was more popular.
After introducing the contestants, Jack began to introduce the judges this time. In addition to Auguste and Juman Li, there were also Manfred, Gauss, and Anthony. Most of them were familiar to Yuan Zhou. As for Juman Li, they were all familiar with each other. The ones there are Podlaco’s master, Alexandra, and Adelaide and Abby.
They are all well-known big names in the European catering industry. As they were introduced one by one, the atmosphere at the scene was even more intense than before.
Next was the speech by August, the chairman of the organizing committee of this competition.
Different from his usual behavior in a small shop or in front of Yuan Zhou, August, who formally spoke on stage, was very serious and dignified, making the diners in the small shop below who thought he looked familiar didn't dare to recognize him for a moment.
It can be seen that the contrast is still quite large.
"The competition is about to begin. The theme of this competition is chicken, Bresse chicken. Use it as the main ingredient to cook an appetizer, a main course, and a dessert." Jack announced this directly after August went down. The main content of the competition.
"Now I declare the game officially begins!" Although Jack was a little shy about the typhoon, he did not delay and announced the start directly.
After this order was given, many participating chefs on the stage began to get busy. From time to time, there was a "clang, ding, ding," and the sound of kitchen utensils colliding with each other.
"This Bresse chicken sounds delicious?" Tang Qian had never heard the name of this chicken.
"I know, this must be a delicious chicken." Wu Hai said first, and turned Chu Xiao around: "Chu Er, do you know this chicken?"
"France's national chicken, almost every French person knows this chicken. The meat is tender and has a slightly milky taste. It is considered a relatively high-end ingredient in French cuisine." Chu Xiao said directly.
"Isn't that delicious?"
To the ears of the diners in the shop, they heard that this chicken tasted good. If it had passed through Yuan Zhou's hands, it would definitely taste even better. Just thinking about it made them drool.
"It's a pity that they didn't invite judges from other industries this time, otherwise I would also be able to eat." Wu Hai looked in the direction of the rostrum with regret, and began to focus on Yuan Zhou's every move.
As long as Yuanzhou officially starts cooking, he will put other things aside first.
When I heard the host Jack say that the theme was Bresse chicken, my mind started thinking about how to cook it to make it taste better.
"This chicken tastes better and is suitable for many dishes." It is no exaggeration to say that Yuan Zhouhui's dishes are definitely the most on the market.
Because he was sorting out the ingredients he had got while thinking about it, he seemed very leisurely, which was in sharp contrast to the other chefs who were already busy.
