My Entertainment Circle

After coming out of KBS, Zhang Pingan was not so anxious to go to CJ Entertainment. Because he had made an appointment to meet with someone before that, Bai Zhongyuan, Teacher Bai! He brought the CEO from the office to the variety show live broadcast circle, and then left him alone for more than a quarter. At this time, it was time for him to talk to Teacher Bai about his inner plan.

Zhang Pingan drove directly to Teacher Bai's cooking laboratory. When he went out this morning, he made an appointment to meet in his laboratory at noon. Teacher Bai's cooking laboratory will appear many times in the program in the future, but now only Zhang Ping'an is a regular visitor there, and even his wife rarely goes to his laboratory.

In Teacher Bai's cooking laboratory, Zhang Pingan looked at the condiments all over the wall and said with envy, "Wow, Teacher Bai, every time I come to your laboratory, I wish I could take something with me when I leave." Said Zhang Pingan Picking up a bottle of truffle oil casually, he smiled and said, "Truffle oil? Is it sold in Korea?"

Teacher Bai smiled brightly, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were quite obvious. Especially when he met someone like Zhang Ping'an who loved food and knew how to eat, he naturally felt happy when he came to his laboratory.

He responded with a smile, "Truffle oil, yes, why not? The high-end supermarket in Cheongdam-dong has a lot of imported condiments. Sit down and I'll pour you coffee. Is it iced or room temperature?"

"It's iced, thank you, Teacher Bai. By the way, I have a super appetizer, do you want to try it?"

Bai Zhongyuan, who was pouring coffee, listened to Zhang Pingan talking about some super snacks, and he asked curiously, "What snacks?"

"Wait a minute, I'll go out and buy some ingredients." After saying that, Zhang Pingan went out. About five minutes after leaving, Zhang Pingan came back with a few packs of onion rings bought at the convenience store at the door.

Bai Zhongyuan pointed to the onion rings in Zhang Ping'an's hand. He smiled bitterly and said, "Is this your snack?"

"Wait a minute." Zhang Ping'an said, taking Bai Zhongyuan's truffle oil and pouring it out into a small dish, then opening the onion rings, dipping the onion rings in the truffle oil and eating them, "This is my go-to dish for drinking, it's absolutely delicious!" "

What is this mess? With a look of disgust on his face, Bai Zhongyuan followed Zhang Ping'an's example and dipped an onion ring in truffle oil. As soon as he put it in his mouth, Bai Zhongyuan's eyes widened instantly.

Then he laughed ridiculously, "Hahaha~~ I never thought that truffle oil can be used like this? How did you find out?"

Of course Zhang Pingan couldn't say 'I came here to watch the show a long time ago', so he could only smile and say, "By chance, when I was at home in Tokyo, I originally wanted to pour the potato chips into the container, but accidentally One piece fell into the truffle oil, so I grabbed it and ate it.

I was surprised to find that the potato chips dipped in truffle oil were very delicious, so I tried other snacks, and in the end the onion rings were the best! "

Bai Zhongyuan once again took an onion ring and dipped it in truffle oil and ate a piece. He nodded and said, "It's good to drink beer! What are you doing here today?"

Zhang Pingan said, "Teacher Bai, I watched your live broadcast. You haven't participated in "Little TV" since March, right?"

"I won the championship every time I participated. I felt it was a bit unfair to other artists, so I stopped participating. Isn't that what you came here to talk about today?"

Zhang Ping'an said with a smile, "I told Director Luo Yingshi about you when we were in China, so I asked Director Luo if he could help me arrange a period of time. I plan to produce a program with you. Luo Yingshi said to ask for me and came back yesterday. Then he asked me. TVN said it’s no problem! It’s up to you now.”

Bai Zhongyuan looked at Zhang Pingan with a smile and said, "What do you want me to do?"

Zhang Pingan immediately said his thoughts, "Just like what you did in the live broadcast, a program that teaches people how to cook. This time we plan to invite you in the form of a main program. I have already thought of the name of the program "Teacher Bai's" "Home-cooked dishes" just teach you how to make some home-cooked dishes, there are no secret recipes involved. "

Baek Jong-won responded, "There are still many programs on the market that teach people how to cook. The cooking program 'Bigaa' and 'Please Help the Refrigerator' all teach people how to cook."

Zhang Ping'an said, "The programs currently on the market that teach people how to cook are all aimed at those who have certain basic knowledge of cooking, right? What I want is for you to teach people who don't have basic knowledge of cooking how to make some simple dishes." For home cooking, for example, we invite four apprentices who have no cooking knowledge to cook with you. Each dish can be taught in detail, and the main purpose is to teach those who don’t know how to cook.”

Bai Zhongyuan said, "I understand what you mean, but how do you determine the themes of each issue?"

"I think using 'dishes' as a theme, such as bean sprouts, eggs, eggplant, or a certain fixed dish. Curry, kimchi soup."

Bai Zhongyuan said, "Your scope is a bit broad, from food to cooking."

"Yes, everything from food to cooking can be covered. Teacher Bai will set the theme of each issue, and I will let the program team prepare it. You also know that I am very interested in food programs recently!" Zhang Pingan answered with a smile. .

Bai Zhongyuan laughed, "Nowadays, all TV stations are very interested in food programs, not just you! However, I watched the show "Battle of the Rivers and Lakes" you produced, and it was really professional and technical! OK, your suggestion I’ll give you a reply after thinking about it in two days!”

Zhang Pingan knew that the program was basically confirmed, but he continued, "Teacher Bai, there is one more thing I want to tell you." Bai Zhongyuan stared at Zhang Pingan curiously and said, "Go ahead, what is it?" "The Jianghu Showdown is over." Bai Zhongyuan nodded and said, "I know it's over. I've watched the replay of every episode!" "It's like this. I told SBS that after Jianghu Showdown, I would produce another food program on TV. So I want to cooperate with you." "Again~~?" Bai Zhongyuan laughed instantly, "TVN, SBS, are you planning to produce two food programs at the same time? And find me for both?" Zhang Pingan nodded and said, "Well, you are the only person I know, am familiar with, and respect." Bai Zhongyuan listened to Zhang Pingan's flattery and laughed instantly, "Don't come on, you are too cunning. Did you say the same thing when you lied to Chef Li Lianfu? My wife has said that you producers can't be trusted, especially you "And Luo Yingshi, people in the circle say that you two have a lot of tricks!" Zhang Pingan immediately refuted, "I never lie to people, it's Luo Yingshi who lied. You know, the programs he produced are all to trick people overseas!" Bai Zhongyuan immediately exposed the truth, "When you lied to Lee Seo Jin, I watched it. You said you built a spacious kitchen for him in Gangwon Province!" Zhang Pingan smiled and said, "Uh, hahaha, wasn't I doing that for the effect of the show?" Bai Zhongyuan said, "Lee Seo Jin said in an interview that you are worse than Luo Yingshi! You tricked him into going to the countryside, and even the phone calls had to be dialed at fixed times, and the call time was limited!" Zhang Pingan said, "That was all for the effect of the show, and isn't the show broadcast very good? Now the second season has started." It has to be admitted that the healing effect of "Three Meals a Day" is indeed undeniable. The second season has just aired the first episode, and the average ratings of the first episode are as high as 82. You have to know that TVN is a paid channel! Bai Zhongyuan smiled and took a sip of his coffee and said, "Tell me, what kind of program are you and SBS going to produce?"

"It's like this, because SBS was criticized a lot when "The Legend of Jianghu" was broadcast some time ago."

"That's right, your program is a program to promote Chinese cuisine, it would be strange if the TV station didn't get criticized!"

Zhang Pingan nodded and said, "It's because the TV station and the program team were criticized, so I plan to produce a program similar to "The Legend of Jianghu". It's just similar, after all, it's impossible to invite so many chefs to compete again. Well, this is what I think, for example, The dishes are allowed to collect the opinions of all fans, let the audience introduce to what are the famous troops pot stores, and then choose three of the writers from the country to try to try. In the case, Bai Zhongyuan also said in surprise, "Is it a bit difficult to do this? Don't talk about the scope of South Korea. The investment in the show group mainly depends on the shop owner's wishes to come to the scene. After all, if you come here to cook, how much income will be lost." The preparation of the program on S must be a period of time, and TVN only needs only one kitchen shed. "Bai Zhongyuan said," Well, I go back and think about it, and you need to communicate with your wife. Already. But if the two programs are launched at the same time, and it also involves going to places to shoot, it may take more than two days. Because it is possible that he went to two stores in Seoul and the surrounding areas today, but there is another store in the local area, so he must take out a day to go to the local area to shoot.

So if the two programs are launched at the same time, then Baek Jong-won will have to take out at least two to three days a week to shoot, and his wife will have to become a full-time housewife for three days, and this schedule is every week! !
