Life is a Game

This competition system was far more complicated and commercialized than Jiang Feng imagined.

The pure English language seems to be a bit of a headache. Although it is not incomprehensible, it will remind Jiang Feng of the painful time of the sixth grade exam.

It may be because this time the China-US Chef King Competition is based on restaurants, no matter which restaurant it is, it does not want to affect its original business because of a variety show. After all, this variety show is recorded on a monthly basis. . After comprehensive consideration of this aspect, the program team gave a completely different competition system from what Jiang Feng had imagined before.

The Chinese side and the US side have eight restaurants each that can participate. In the first one and a half months, the eight restaurants of the two sides competed internally. The competition system is a points competition, and the points are updated once a week. Finally, the top two restaurants with accumulated points, a total of four restaurants from both sides will enter the final The total PK.

In order not to affect the normal operation of the restaurant, the points competition is divided into two methods. Each restaurant can send four contestants, and the contestants cannot be changed in the middle unless there are unexpected circumstances.

Before the start of the competition, each contestant can give the program group ten dishes that they are good at, and the program group will randomly select one dish every week as this week's competition dish, counting from Monday to Sunday. The restaurant is open normally, and one point will be awarded for each designated dish sold, one point will be awarded if the dish receives favorable reviews from customers, and two points will be deducted if the dish receives negative reviews from customers.

This is the system for the first half of the points race.

There will be a small evaluation every two weeks, and the content of the small evaluation will be kept secret for the time being. The restaurants will get different points according to the ranking of the evaluation.

The competition system of the second half is roughly the same as that of the first half, the only difference is that the restaurant business will be affected a little, because the eight restaurants will exchange the contestants to a random opponent restaurant through a lottery. The four contestants will be responsible for completing the next operations with other employees of the rival restaurant to ensure that their turnover will not be greatly fluctuated and affected. The content of the competition is exactly the same as the first half, except that the ten dishes given must be In keeping with the style of rival restaurants.

If the turnover of the rival restaurant drops sharply during the exchange period, the restaurant of the exchanged chef will deduct 300 points as a penalty.

It can be said that if you mess up the other party's business, you are also screwed.

The competition system is very interesting. Jiang Feng thinks it's not bad that the program team can come up with this kind of competition method that can win the attention of the audience without affecting the normal operation of the restaurant.

Even this kind of competition system is too easy to cheat.

In the second half of the exchange, if the secrecy is better, cheating may be slightly more difficult. In the first half of the business, the restaurant is open, so it’s not easy to hire some sailor diners to pay the bills.

Then Jiang Feng saw the precautions.

The first rule is that any form of cheating is strictly prohibited.

After all, this competition is a reality show. Although it is a show, the premise is that it is a real person. In addition to the intense and exciting competition, the selling point also has the daily and personal charm of the contestants.

In addition to shooting in the back kitchen and restaurant, the cameraman of the program group will also follow the contestant to his home to shoot some content that the contestant can accept. But Jiang Feng suspected that with the personality of the reality show on the US side, he would shoot even if he didn't accept the content.

The program team may have realized that their competition system is really too convenient for those who want to cheat, so they listed this warning as the first one. The program team stated that they will adopt the highest level of data monitoring, and once abnormal data is found, large-scale investigations will be carried out to prevent fraudulent orders as much as possible.

Once cheating is confirmed, the contest will be disqualified immediately.

It seems to be quite like that, but I don't know if it will be implemented like this at that time.

What really surprised Jiang Feng was the location of the final PK.

After the top four are determined, the competition system is very common. It is the kind of four groups of chefs that everyone imagines that gather together and start a fierce PK on a big stage. In the end, the jury decides who the final champion is.

Nothing new, but something people really want to see.

It's a game, isn't it?

Old-fashioned, but exciting!

Jiang Feng originally thought that the final venue must be in the United States, and he could experience the feeling of traveling at public expense, but the final venue was actually set in Beiping.

The reason given by the program team was that Xu Cheng, the main judge of the finals, now lives in Beiping, and Xu Cheng didn't want to move, so he troubled others to move down and move over. But Jiang Feng suspected that there were actually other people who didn't want to move, such as Chef Arnold, who really held the lifeline of the program group.

After reading the entire competition system and process, Jiang Feng thought it was pretty good.

If he was not a contestant but an ordinary audience, he would be very interested in seeing such a variety show, just like watching the first season of Chef Arnold's participation, he would chase it all night long.

Reality shows, shows are only a small part, the most important thing is real people. As long as the competition system is fair and reasonable, and has a certain degree of interest, it is enough for both the contestants and the audience.

There is no need to make so many inexplicable teardowns for the sake of breaking the point. In the first season, Chef Arno has already proved that what the audience likes to watch is not tearing up—they may just simply love to watch and swear.

In addition to the program documentation, Chef Arnold also asked Jiang Feng if he had any comments.

Of course, Jiang Feng had no objection, so he replied no to Chef Arnold.

Never heard back again.

Then he casually forwarded the document to Wu Minqi and Sun Maocai. The two of them definitely want to participate in the competition. This was decided before, but they have never discussed who the remaining person to participate in the competition is.

Then after thinking about it, he forwarded the document to Zhang Guanghang.

Just kidding, Lao Zhang is the face of their Taifeng building.

As long as Lao Zhang enters the competition and the show is broadcast, according to the current estimated quality, this variety show will definitely explode. Last year's not-so-professional Good Taste Cooking Competition became popular all over the country, and Zhang Guanghang was directly searched. Now that such a professional cooking competition doesn't have hundreds of millions of views, I'm sorry for Arnold Chef's departure.

Once the show explodes, even if Tai Fung House doesn't win the championship, they won't have to worry about business for the next ten years.

As long as Zhang Guanghang doesn't gain weight within ten years and doesn't lose his shape, he will be the most handsome cub in the culinary world.

Just when Jiang Feng was fantasizing that Taifeng Building would soon be making money to pay off the debt, Zhang Guanghang sent back a message.

Lao Zhang: I read it, the competition system is good, but it is not convenient for me to participate, so you can find someone else.

Jiang Feng:?

He thought he saw piles of red bills flying away in front of him with wings.

Still kind of fluttering.

Week time:?

Zhou Shi had been observing Jiang Feng from the beginning.

At first, he could tell that Jiang Feng was probably looking at documents or something, because Jiang Feng was very focused and his expression was serious. Later, it was estimated that the file was good, and my expression relaxed a lot, and I looked quite satisfied.

He couldn't figure out Jiang Feng's expression behind him.

It was joy first, then happiness, and finally ecstasy. In the ecstasy, there was a hint of money that came from no one knew where it came from. Now it suddenly became despair and sadness, as if it had lost two million.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Shi asked.

"It's nothing." Jiang Feng looked sad, and sent a message to ask Sun Maocai who else he thinks is more suitable to participate in the competition, "I just feel that I have lost money."

Jiang Feng sniffed, as if he really lost money.
