The gourmet master on the tongue

After a month, the filming of the gourmet documentary [Magic Little Shop: Baiwei Snacks] was officially completed.

Cai Xiangda has never made such an easy documentary. In the past, the shooting time of documentaries started from half a year. If it is less than half a year, it is absolutely shoddy.

If the subject matter is larger and needs to be run all over the country, it will be a normal operation for one or two years.

The shooting time is long, and the post-editing needs enough time to polish.

However, what makes Cai Xiangda feel extremely refreshed is that the pictures taken by Yan Ran hardly require any editing, and every frame is perfect.

The appearance is 360 degrees without dead ends, and the cooking process never misses.

Boyuan Documentary Company.

Cai Xiangda came to Chai Zhiheng with the film.

"The film is out, take a look." Cai Xiangda handed a mobile hard disk to Chai Zhiheng.

Chai Zhiheng took it and connected it to the computer: "The key."

"Sent to you." Cai Xiangda tapped his phone.

After opening the documentary, Chai Zhiheng watched it for a few minutes with a satisfied smile on his face.

"It's a shame not to be a star!" Chai Zhiheng said.

"As soon as our movie comes out, he will definitely be popular all over the country, maybe even more popular than some current traffic stars." Cai Xiangda laughed.

"This time we spent a total of one and a half months including shooting and post-production, right?" Chai Zhiheng said while opening the calendar to count the time.

"That's right, I've never made such a relaxing documentary. Put the camera on that one, and the resulting film can be used almost immediately." Cai Xiangda said.

"This documentary has great potential, and I have to have a good talk with the people from Phantom." Chai Zhiheng's face was full of expectations.

"Okay, I've already handed over the film to you, and you can take care of the rest." Cai Xiangda said.

"Okay, you should rest for a few days first." Chai Zhiheng said.

A box in a tea house.

Guan Xiaoyin, the video director of Phantom, opened the door and came in, and said with a smile: "Why is Mr. Chai looking for me today?"

"Sister Xiaoyin, please sit down." Chai Zhiheng immediately got up to greet Guan Xiaoyin.

The two sides sat down, and Chai Zhiheng made tea for Guan Xiaoyin.

"Sister Xiaoyin, this is Dahongpao, you should try it first," Chai Zhiheng said.

Guan Xiaoyin nodded slightly, took a sip from her teacup.

"Hmm." She nodded.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?" Guan Xiaoyin said with a smile.

"Our company has just produced a new documentary recently." Chai Zhiheng said.

"So fast?" Guan Xiaoyin paused.

"The shooting was relatively smooth, so the speed was naturally faster." Chai Zhiheng said.

"What theme?" Guan Xiaoyin asked.

"Of course it's about food." Chai Zhiheng said.

"I remember that your company's last film was released less than half a year ago? A new one was released in such a short period of time? Which director made it?" Guan Xiaoyin said.

"It was directed by Cai." Chai Zhiheng said.

"Director Cai? There will be a new release in less than half a year. Could it be that the time is too short? Quality issues are no small matter! Nowadays, crudely produced documentaries are useless, and no one watches them at all," Guan Xiaoyin said.

"Sister Xiaoyin, our new documentary is definitely not shoddy, it is definitely made with care, and the quality is guaranteed to be first-class!" Chai Zhiheng said.

Guan Xiaoyin smiled, unmoved: "Show me the film!"

"No problem! I'll show you some clips now, and I promise you will give them a thumbs up after watching them!" Chai Zhiheng said with a smile.

"Really?" Guan Xiaoyin smiled playfully.

Chai Zhiheng picked up his phone and opened a video.

"Come." He handed it to Guan Xiaoyin.

In the video, Yan Ran is making braised chicken.

Guan Xiaoyin glanced at it and was immediately attracted.

The video is not long, just over three minutes.

After watching it, Guan Xiaoyin was a little skeptical: "Is this the content of your new documentary?"

"That's right! How's it going? Not bad, right?" Chai Zhiheng said.

"The boys here are really chefs?" Guan Xiaoyin asked.

"Of course, a serious chef is very good at cooking." Chai Zhiheng said.

"This look debuted in minutes!" Guan Xiaoyin said.

"Yeah, so what do you think? A good-looking chef with top cooking skills will definitely attract attention." Chai Zhiheng said.

"This is not done by a double, is it?" Guan Xiaoyin said.

"Documents are different from TV dramas, you can't use doubles." Guan Xiaoyin said.

"Wait a minute, I'll find you another video," Chai Zhiheng said.

He also found a cooking clip for Guan Xiaoyin where she could see Yanran's whole body.

After watching it, Guan Xiaoyin thought for a while and asked, "How many episodes does this documentary have?"

"Two episodes, about 90 minutes." Chai Zhiheng replied.

"Too little." Guan Xiaoyin said.

"Huh?" Chai Zhiheng was a little puzzled.

"Is this chef the protagonist of the whole documentary?" Guan Xiaoyin asked again.

"Yes, with him as the protagonist, he can make many kinds of snacks." Chai Zhiheng said.

"You guys change the format, one episode is 15 minutes, let's make a multi-episode mode, one episode, one dish, the more episodes the better." Guan Xiaoyin said.

Chai Zhiheng is a smart person, he knows everything.

"I know what you mean." Chai Zhiheng said with a smile.

"Such a good theme must be of maximum value." Guan Xiaoyin said.

"Then can we sign the contract now?" Chai Zhiheng asked.

"You bring your current film to our company first, I need to make a final confirmation, and then we can sign the contract." Guan Xiaoyin said.

"No problem!" Chai Zhiheng nodded.

A week later, the first episode of the gourmet documentary [Magic Little Shop: Baiwei Snacks] [Fried Edamame Tofu] officially started broadcasting.

On the premise of not investing a lot of resources in publicity, the 24-hour broadcast volume of the first episode exceeded one million, reaching 130 million people.

Although Guan Xiaoyin is very optimistic about this documentary, the number of broadcasts is still beyond her imagination.

When the number of views in 48 hours reached more than 400 million, Guan Xiaoyin immediately decided to create a special page for [Magic Snack Bar] on the Phantom Video website to promote it.

As a result, the broadcast volume of the documentary soared as if it was on a rocket.

The number of broadcasts in 72 hours exceeded [-] million, directly crushing other documentaries in the same period, and even more than some popular TV dramas in the same period.

A female dormitory in a university.

When Zhang Qian came back from the shower, she glanced at the screen of Wang Xiyu's tablet on the next bed, and saw a handsome little brother cooking.

Zhang Qian suddenly became interested: "Xi Yu, what are you looking at?"

"Documentary." Wang Xiyu said without looking back.

"It's a lie, what kind of documentary, it's obviously an idol drama." Zhang Qian climbed onto Wang Xiyu's bed.

"It's really a documentary, a food documentary." Wang Xiyu replied.

"What documentary has such a handsome actor?" Zhang Qian went over and hugged Wang Xiyu, put her head on her shoulder, and looked at the computer screen.

"This man is so handsome, what's his name?" Zhang Qian asked.

"Yeah." Wang Xiyu replied.

"Yan Ran, I've never heard of this name before, is it a new debut?" Zhang Qian thought for a while.

"It's already a documentary." Wang Xiyu glanced at her.

"Yes, yes, documentary." Zhang Qian said perfunctorily.

After watching it for a while, she was a little surprised: "This actor can do it. The cooking process looks like the real thing. He must have practiced it specially. Yes, it's much better than those cutout stars."

Wang Xiyu rolled his eyes, too lazy to explain to his roommate.

At this moment, another roommate, Qiu Na, walked into the bedroom.

"What are you looking at?" Qiu Na asked.

"Look at little brother." Zhang Qian said with a smile.

"What little brother?" Qiu Na leaned over curiously.

Seeing Yanran, her eyes lit up, and she praised, "You're so handsome!"

"What's this person's name?" Qiu Na asked.

"Of course." Zhang Qian replied.

"Yan Ran." Qiu Na nodded, took out her mobile phone to check information online.

"Which one speaks, which one does?" Qiu Na asked.

Zhang Qian hugged Wang Xiyu: "Which words?"

"Language is natural." Wang Xiyu replied.

Qiu Na nodded, and entered the word [yanran] in the search box to open Yanran's exclusive entry.

"Professional chef???" Qiu Na was a little confused.

"Is this entry wrong?" Qiu Na said to Wang Xiyu and Zhang Qian.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Qian asked.

"Look, it says professional chef." Qiu Na handed the phone to Zhang Qian.

"Chef?" Zhang Qian was slightly dazed when she saw it.

"That's right, he is the chef!" Wang Xiyu glanced at the two of them.

"Is the chef acting across borders?" Qiu Na asked.

"It's not acting, it's a documentary, a food documentary." Wang Xiyu said.

"But you weren't..." Qiu Na said.

"It was Zhang Qian who said it, not me. I told her that Yan Ran was a chef, but she didn't believe me!" Wang Xiyu shrugged.

"Is he really a chef?!" Zhang Qian asked in surprise.

"That's right, it's guaranteed to be fake." Wang Xiyu zoomed out the video and pointed to the title.

"[Magical Little Shop: Baiwei Snacks]? Is it really a documentary?" Zhang Qian opened her eyes.

"How can there be such a handsome chef? He is so handsome, why doesn't he become an actor? Isn't it good to be a star?" Zhang Qian was a little hard to understand.

"I don't know if being an actor is good or not, but the things he makes are really delicious!" Wang Xiyu said.

She clicked play again, and the three of them leaned against each other, staring directly at the screen.

On the screen, edamame flicks gently on the hot oil, as if a dancer is dancing.

The three of them seemed to be able to smell the fragrance that was constantly emanating from the screen.

Watching and watching, the three swallowed unconsciously.

If the so-called "licking the screen" when watching other videos is just an adjective, then the three of them really want to lick the screen at this moment.

After watching it three times, Zhang Qian quietly said, "I'm hungry."

"Me too." Qiu Na raised her hand.

"Let's order takeaway!" Wang Xiyu suggested.

"immediately!"

"immediately!"

The other two nodded frantically.

Half an hour later, the three of them each held a takeaway, and ate with relish the beauty of Yanran and the delicious and tempting fried tofu on the screen.

University dorms, rental houses, basements, roadside stalls, restaurants...

Similar scenarios continue to play out.

The video of Yanran cooking seems to be the best food companion.
