Shanhai Hot Pot Restaurant

Youjun usually sits behind the counter and always wears a hat. Even if the diners think he is handsome, they are too embarrassed to stare at him, or ask him to take off his hat and raise his head. Besides, Mingqian is 1.8 meters tall. A few, the sun is handsome, and Ming is modest, and diners don't have to take a closer look at You Jun's appearance.

What's more, the diners have always seen handsome guys as an incidental, and they mainly come to eat hot pot.

You Jun is not wearing anything now, and he is not sitting behind the counter. As soon as he appeared, the store was quiet.

Height, temperament and appearance, these three have never been separated. You Jun not only looks good, but also has a good body proportion.

Proportion is the king of figure. People with a good proportion of 1.6 meters can look 1.7 meters. If the proportion of a person with a height of 1.8 meters is not good, they will only look 1.7 meters.

The taller you grow, the higher the requirements for proportion. Even if some people are 1.9 meters tall, they still look like a rickety telegraph pole. Broken waist.

And Youjun has a standard inverted triangle body shape, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, and a pair of long legs. He is wearing a white sweater and a pair of jeans. His short silver hair seems to shine silver under the light of the store, even if you don't look at his face. Just looking at the figure can make people unable to take their eyes off.

What's more, You Jun has an almost perfect face.

His eyes are narrow and long, his lips are thin, and there is a hostility in his eyes, as if wherever he stands, there is the center of the world. He has the same nose bridge as a mountain, but no one can say he is not handsome.

He is like a person who has stepped out of an ink painting scroll, indifferent and distant, with a mystery that makes people want to explore carefully.

But even if the store was full of people and cameras, Ming Qian was the only one in his eyes.

"I'll go back after I've finished talking to them." Ming Qian was a little embarrassed, "Go back first."

"No need!" Director Han stood up excitedly. Looking at Youjun's face, he felt that his luck had reached the limit. He invited such a person with [-] yuan a month. He is simply the chosen one!

Of course, the ratings of the show do not depend on handsome guys, but handsome guys can definitely contribute to the ratings.

Director Han asked Ming Qian: "What is this person in charge of?"

Ming Qian: "The cash register..."

Director Han walked up to Jun You, and he stretched out his hand with a very amiable attitude and a sincere smile on his face: "Han Shuo, what's your name?"

You Jun didn't reach out his hand, but Ming Qian walked to You Jun's side, tugged at You Jun's clothes, and coughed lightly.

Youjun shakes hands with Director Han expressionlessly, just touches, and doesn't want to have too long physical contact with anyone other than Mingqian - even hands.

"Just call him You Jun." Ming Qian said for You Jun, after all, he still doesn't know You Jun's real name.

According to what You Jun said, when they formally become partners, Ming Qian will naturally know You Jun's real name.

Although no one told Ming Qian, Ming Qian was keenly aware that the real names of divine beasts and monsters should not be told to others, like Yao and Yiyi, such names are not so much names as code names or nicknames, but they don’t tell them. , Ming Qian will not ask in detail.

The name "Youjun" is really strange.

Director Han slandered, but he didn't show it on the surface. There are too many people with eccentricities in this world, so there's no need to get to the bottom of it.

If you really want to pursue it, it will be endless.

"Then no one else needs to do the cash register." Director Han said with a smile, "Mr. You should be in charge."

Mr. "You"?

This is really a novel title.

The guests didn't come over to talk. Director Han was here chatting with Mr. Ming Qianyou, and the guests looked through the notes they had just taken down. Among the eight of them, only Xiaohua Linsui was very popular recently, and the others were all in the mid-term. tepid state.

Brother Jiang, who led the team, won the most awards, but so what?The entertainment industry never looks at awards, but popularity.

Popularity can bring traffic, and traffic can bring benefits to the management. Without popularity, there will be no opportunities, and if opportunities cannot be found, there will be even less popularity, falling into a vicious circle.

Lin Sui has a good relationship with another flying female guest. The two sat together, looking at Ming Qian and You Jun who were standing not far away.

Ming Qian is slightly shorter than You Jun. Compared to the aloof You Jun, Ming Qian is more like a big boy next door. If a girl must have a childhood sweetheart, most people will choose Ming Qian.

"You're so handsome." Lin Sui whispered to He Qin, her eyes scanning Ming Qian and You Jun's waist back and forth.

He Qin laughed and said, "Don't look at it, you will be discovered if you look at it again. If others find out, it's okay to say it. Director Han will say you again if he finds out."

Lin Sui is only 20 years old. She was discovered by a brokerage company when she was 16 years old. She acted in a movie as soon as she debuted and won the Best Newcomer Award.

Since then, there have been stable works appearing every year, but the time is limited before going to university, and the roles are all female second and female third. This year, when she was in her sophomore year, a TV series she acted in happened to be a hit, and her popularity rose rapidly.

It's just that those who can make a head start in the entertainment industry are either good people or simply outrageous.

Some people seem to focus all their talents on their appearance and acting skills, their EQ is negative, every year there are artists overturned because of their stupid remarks, and Lin Sui is the latter.

She has been on both sides of the studio and the school, in a relatively simple environment, because she got grades as soon as she debuted, and met a reliable economic company, so she has not experienced realistic beatings. Supported behind her back, the unspoken rules have nothing to do with her.

So she often speaks out of her head. When He Qin said it, she subconsciously replied: "Everyone likes to watch handsome guys, don't you like to watch?"

He Qin didn't know how to answer for a while, she was different from Lin Sui, she really came up through scrambling. Can whisper: "I love to watch, but now is not the time to watch."

Lin Sui smiled and said: "They must look good on camera, but I don't know which seats Director Han will put them in. By the way, did Director Han tell you what he wants you to do?"

He Qin shook her head: "Anyway, it's either a waiter or a prickly worker, but I'm not good at knife skills, so maybe it's the waiter."

Lin Sui: "We don't have any knife skills, okay? I can't even eat when I'm so busy. How can I have time to cook by myself? I haven't even used the rice cooker much. The last time I used it, the rice was overcooked."

He Qin: "..."

The person who heard: "..."

Are you the only one who doesn't have time to eat? !

Do you really think there are so many opportunities in the entertainment industry? !

Lin Sui took out his mobile phone and quietly sent a photo of Ming Qian and You Jun standing together to his manager.

"Sister Yang, isn't she handsome?"

Sister Yang quickly replied: "Aren't you recording a program? I can come over tomorrow. Where did you take the photo? Whose artist is it?"

Lin Sui replied proudly: "It's not an artist, but the owner and cashier of a hotpot restaurant."

Sister Yang: "..."

Sister Yang: "I'll come over tomorrow to buy the earliest ticket, so don't talk nonsense."

Lin Sui: "Sister Yang, am I that stupid?"

Sister Yang sent a sighing expression: "Speak less and do more. It doesn't matter if you are stupid, I'm afraid you will offend others."

Lin Sui didn't realize it: "I think the seniors like me quite a lot."

Sister Yang sent a long string of ellipses.

If Lin Sui has any commendable advantages besides his face and acting skills, it is definitely his confidence.

Confidence in your own emotional intelligence.

"Cash register?" Ming Qian looked at Youjun.

He will never decide and choose for You Jun, so he waits for You Jun's answer together with Director Han.

Youjun nodded, calmly said: "Yes."

The smile on Director Han's face widened: "The boss should be a waiter. He usually stands by the counter and helps the guests when they are too busy. After all, it is a variety show, and the audience still wants to see the guests make a fool of themselves."

Ming Qian: "... making a fool of yourself?"

Director Han said in a relaxed tone: "Audiences need stimulation, long-lasting stimulation. If you want to watch what the guests are good at, it's better to watch the movies and TV series they perform. Watching variety shows is for relaxation, but relaxation also requires stimulation."

"By the way, you need to take Brother Jiang with you more, the camera won't record it when you teach Brother Jiang." Director Han said to Ming Qian.

Brother Jiang’s character design is a mature and stable big brother who can solve everything, so he has to look like he understands everything. Although Director Han thinks this character design is not very good, it seems that Brother Jiang himself asked for it, so he can’t say what.

In variety shows, the character design either has outstanding advantages or outstanding disadvantages.

That's why he is not optimistic about Dong Han.

Mediocrity is the original sin.

Someone scolding is better than no one paying attention.

But it's not sure now, he watched the part of Dong Han and Ming Qian in the back kitchen, and found that Dong Han in it was quite interesting, a silly and simple, overly restrained, and looked weird , He listens to everything Ming Qian says, and can automatically translate it into suggestions that suit his own situation. Maybe this can be a dark horse.

It's a pity that he didn't stay by Mingqian's side, and he became the "gentle gentleman" who remembered his persona at that moment.

"Boss!" A boy's voice suddenly came from outside the door, "You Jun didn't take his mobile phone! I came to deliver something, why did you close the door? Haven't they left yet?"

Mingqian: "..."

Director Han: "..."

Where did this come from, Hanhan? !

Don't yell out so loudly when asking if someone has left!

After shouting, Yao also seemed to feel that something was wrong. He gently opened the door, poked a head in, and smiled very cutely: "There are so many people."

Then he crept in through the crack of the door, ran to You Jun like a thief, and handed over the phone.

Director Han's eyes brightened even more.

You Jun didn't even look at Yao. After taking back the phone, he found that he had no place to put it on his body, and he couldn't use his sleeves in front of ordinary people, so he handed the phone to Ming Qian as a matter of course, and Ming Qian was very used to putting it on himself. pocket.

The two don't even need to look at each other, they have a tacit understanding like twin brothers.

Director Han felt that he seemed to have discovered something. He had encountered everything in their line of work. There was a male artist who had a same-sex scandal before. Although it was suppressed in the end, the mainstream media were unwilling to invite him. It's been going downhill for two years.

But these two are not entertainers, he is going to pretend that he doesn't know anything, and... maybe it will be of great use to the ratings.

Now the main force of watching variety shows is female audiences, some female audiences love to crack c, and they are very fraternal, men and women, men and women can crack.

Director Han had thought about whether to fire c in the show before, but it was a pity that several artists' management companies made it clear that their artists were following the traffic route, and their fans were all girlfriend fans and mother fans, and frying c would affect the fan base.

Only Lin Sui, He Qin and Brother Jiang's agency didn't tell the program crew that c could be fired by default.

But... just these three can't make a pair!

And brother Jiang has a wife and children, how can this be done?

Lin Sui and He Qin can only be paired together.

Hey, making a variety show is more tiring than making a movie. The script has been changed several times, and the actual shooting will still be different from the script.

The script can only set a general direction, and the guests still have to fill in the details.

Now that there are Mingqian and Youjun, two very sexy handsome guys, why don't you give them the heavy responsibility of firing c?

The more Director Han thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

"Come with me." Director Han whispered to Ming Qian.

He didn't call You Jun, he didn't know why, he didn't dare to tell You Jun about this, as for why he didn't dare, he couldn't find the reason himself.

Ming Qian pulled You Jun's arm, and then took another look at You Jun.

The expression on Youjun's face was not very good-looking, but he still nodded slightly.

This tacit agreement is perfect!

Director Han involuntarily showed joy.

"Fried c? Who?"

There are only two people in the back kitchen, Ming Qian and Director Han, Ming Qian almost thought that there was something wrong with his ears.

Director Han explained: "It's not for you to hug and cuddle, you just need to play freely as before, without deliberately expressing."

Ming Qian froze: "What happened to us just now?"

He doesn't think he and Youjun did anything ambiguous just now!

Director Han: "You have a good understanding, you don't need to talk, you can understand each other's meaning with small movements and eyes."

"No amount of old couples can do it." Director Han said seriously, "I will believe you even if you say you have been married for many years."

Ming Qian was numb, stupid, confused, opened his mouth a few times but only said: "Yes, is it?"

Director Han saw Ming Qian's appearance, smiled and said, "Don't be embarrassed, this is so common."

Ming Qian: "...common?"

Director Han nodded with a serious face: "Don't think that firing c is a shameful thing, it's normal in the industry, don't wear colored glasses, you see, the interaction between the two of them when firing c is not even as good as a real good buddy interactive."

"At least you can touch your brother's ass without any burden, but you won't touch your c partner." Director Han followed his advice.

Ming Qian calmed down after listening, and said without emotion: "This is another price."

Director Han: "..."

Ming Qian looked into Director Han's eyes and said seriously, "We need to pay more."

Director Han couldn't hold back, he leaned on the table and laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back, he said after he finished laughing, "Jiajiajia, I'll add [-] to Youjun's side, and I'll add [-] to your side." .”

"You are the boss, Youjun still wants you to talk about it."

Ming Qian has completely calmed down now: "Then I'll ask him, it's useless for me to agree alone, if he agrees I'll tell you later."

·

Ming Qian pulled You Jun to the side of the road, and explained the matter to You Jun in detail.

Who would have thought that Youjun would know what it means to speculate c without Mingqian's explanation based on his experience of playing with mobile phones in the past six months.

Ming Qian was a little embarrassed: "Director Han said that we both have sex."

You Jun raised his eyebrows, looking quite proud: "We are a fiancée, so naturally."

Ming Qian coughed lightly: "Anyway, what Director Han meant was that we can be more obvious, but we don't have to be able to act, saying that we have a tacit understanding."

Youjun was even more proud, although his expression didn't change, but Ming Qian could see his emotions, if Youjun was a person with rich facial expressions, his eyebrows would be beaming at this moment, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked: "Forget that he has eyesight. "

"You can get [-] this month, and I can get [-]." Ming Qian said, "If you don't want to, I'll talk to him again."

Youjun: "You take the money, I don't need it."

Youjun really has nothing to spend money on, he doesn't need to buy clothes, eat, let alone pay rent, Mingqian will buy whatever he wants without asking.

Now their bedroom is full of panda dolls they had clipped before.

There is also a projector - since the last time the two of them watched a movie, You Jun opened his phone and searched for the projector.

Because they shared the same account, Mingqian immediately placed an order and bought it back after seeing it.

Sometimes they will lie in bed and watch movies together, and they don’t have to worry about disturbing others in a private space. The two can discuss the plot together, and they can complain together when they see an annoying plot.

In addition, You Jun is still a delicate man, a humidifier was changed in the room, and You Jun even brought aromatherapy himself.

Mingqian's quality of life has improved a lot.

He now feels that his life is called life.

Instead of just being alive, he has friends, a career, and... a lover, barely a lover, a house and a shop, no need to bow his head to make a living, he can earn money standing up, without having to sacrifice his health996

After making an agreement with Youjun, Mingqian will reply to Director Han, and by the way, he will also give Brother Jiang a private tutoring - open a small stove.

"The cake bases are all ready-made, you just need to fry the cake bases in a pan."

Ming Qian will be responsible after receiving the money, and said to Brother Jiang seriously: "Look, it's enough to get this color."

"If the color is lighter than this, the skin will not be crispy enough."

Brother Jiang carefully took notes, and asked questions if he didn't understand, but he really didn't have the talent in this area, and it was wrong after frying it several times, either the heat was not enough or the frying was a bit mushy.

This can only be practiced more.

"I'll practice more tonight." Brother Jiang was also helpless.

Ming Qian comforted: "The bottom of the hot pot is simple. I will prepare as much water and ingredients for you every day. You can just put it in the pot. When it is boiled, cover it and leave a gap. ok."

Brother Jiang nodded, a little discouraged.

Ming Qian: "Brother Jiang, you can do it. I have loved watching your TV series since I was a child. This time I will definitely do it."

Brother Jiang is very handsome, but not the handsome one that is popular now, but the kind that was popular 20 years ago, with a Chinese character face with lowered chin, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, which makes people feel righteous and awe-inspiring at first glance.

"Don't say that." Brother Jiang smiled, "I know I'm old."

Mingqian: "..."

Awkward……

Brother Jiang: "Everyone will grow old, hey."

Ming Qian didn't even know what to say, Brother Jiang seemed to be a pessimist, since he saw Brother Jiang, he hadn't smiled, kept frowning, and didn't talk to other guests.

At first he thought Brother Jiang was a colder type, but he didn't expect to be so pessimistic.

It may be because Ming Qian is not in the industry, or it may be that he has never found anyone to speak his mind, so he said without holding back: "I haven't been able to get a role in these few years."

Honor cannot be eaten.

Artists make a lot of money, but not all the money earned by artists is their own. Some brokerage companies and managers will also share. Only a small half of the money that falls into the hands of artists may be even less.

And artists can spend a lot of money. It takes a lot of money to buy a house in the capital, and there are still many artists renting houses.

Their cars, their clothes, their friendships all cost money.

In order to earn money after retiring from the circle in the future, artists will also open stores and invest. Except for a few, the investment basically loses nine out of ten investments.

After retiring from the circle, many people lowered their value and returned to work in order to pay off their debts.

Brother Jiang, he retired for five years before, but the company he opened went bankrupt. He really didn’t have the confidence to make a comeback, so he didn’t apply for bankruptcy protection. Instead, he liquidated it directly. He sold all the properties except his own, but he was still short of money. , can only come back and continue to work.

The fact that he was able to appear on the variety show this time was also because of his circle of contacts. Director Han and him were friends for years, and he was willing to give him a hand.

But whether he can become popular or not, and whether he can receive plays in the future still depends on him.

Ming Qian doesn't understand these things, but he is willing to comfort others: "Brother Jiang, don't think so much. Variety shows are all about relaxing. In fact, sometimes the more relaxed the state is, the better the state is."

Brother Jiang was even more worried: "You don't understand."

After worrying, he continued to read the notes, and honestly took the spatula to fry the pumpkin pie.

It was almost early morning when Ming Qian returned that night, and he handed over the key to the store to the program crew. Brother Jiang was still practicing hard to make pumpkin pancakes when he left.

Others are also practicing according to their assigned work.

There are two men and one woman in Dunzigong, Dong Han is the catering staff, two men and one woman are the waiters, and Brother Jiang is the store manager.

They are the main force of the variety show. The original employees in the store belong to the logistics, and they just roll up their sleeves when they can't do their jobs.

They have two more days of practice before the store will officially open.

Ming Qian heard from Director Han that during the official shooting, it is necessary to prevent customers entering the store from taking out their mobile phones to shoot.

For the sake of authenticity, they will not invite group performers this time, and the flow of people will be restricted at the store entrance.

After all, they are all stars. If there is no restriction, fans can flood the street.

"I think it's quite interesting." Before going to bed, Ming Qian and You Jun lay on the bed and watched a movie.

They can sleep in tomorrow morning, and the guests will go to the store to study early tomorrow morning, and it will be enough for Yao and Yiyi to teach.

You Jun frowned: "Do you want to be a star?"

Ming Qian looked at You Jun's brows, and was very curious: "What if I want to be one?"

Youjun frowned even tighter.

"What are you dissatisfied with?" Ming Qian asked softly.

Before You Jun had time to think about it, he blurted out: "What if someone calls your husband?"

-

Yao in the second bedroom had just fallen asleep when he was suddenly awakened by a burst of laughter.

Hey, I don't know what Jun You and the boss are doing, it's the middle of the night, even if you are forbidden to laugh, you won't be able to laugh, right?
