My Entertainment Circle

Chapter 819 Please, Zhang Pingan

During the break, Zhang Pingan sat in Kuanzhai Alley and chatted with netizens, no one else. After the monsters finished their breakfast mission, they returned to the hotel. When they learned that they had a rest today, they immediately thought of Zhang Pingan. Because Zhang Pingan is a 'landlord' in China, if he wants to go shopping, even if Zhang Pingan doesn't know exactly where to go, he can check it on the Internet. After all, in China, using China's search engine is the most convenient way.

And there is no filming today, so there is no task to do in the area of ​​'dining', and 'eating' is a very important thing for Kang Ho Dong personally, so naturally he wants to eat well when there is no task A little more comfortable.

And what’s delicious in China? Of course, ask Zhang Pingan, a Chinese! So after finishing the morning shooting, they returned to the youth hostel and found Zhang Pingan sitting in the living room playing with his mobile phone. Jiang Hudong sat opposite Zhang Pingan, sitting sideways. After he sat down, he did not speak immediately. Instead, he looked at the other 'monsters'.

Zhang Ping'an looked up at Jiang Hudong, who was sitting in front of him, and said with a smile: "Brother Hudong, do you want Chinese coins?"

Because after getting off the plane, their wallets were confiscated by the program crew, and they had no money on them. So Zhang Pingan thought Jiang Hudong was sitting in front of him to ask for some 'activity funds'. And now even if the program team returns their wallets to them, they won’t be able to use them. After all, China is now promoting cashless payment, and ‘VISA’ can only be used in large shopping malls. The surrounding vendors all use electronic wallets or cash.

With that said, Zhang Pingan started to look for his wallet from the backpack placed next to him, and Jiang Hudong said at this time: "Ping An, aren't you taking a break today? Do you want to take us out to visit Chengdu? We are all here, I have to go out for a walk and buy some souvenirs.”

Zhang Ping'an responded while taking out two thousand yuan in cash from his wallet and handing it to Jiang Hudong: "As for souvenirs, you can buy them in the shops nearby. There is no need to go to other places to buy them."

Zhang Ping'an thought, two thousand yuan would be enough for the four of them to buy some souvenirs and eat some snacks.

At this time, Yin Zhiyuan said: "No, Ping An, Brother Hudong wants you to take us out to visit the city."

"That's it, but I'm going to the Panda Garden later to discuss tomorrow's shooting. How about I let the translator take you around for now? There is a relaxing People's Park next to it, where you can have tea. And so on. And not far from here, there is Qingyang Palace, a Taoist holy place in China, which you can visit. I rushed back during lunch time and asked the translator to reserve a seat at the 'Chen Mapo Tofu' restaurant at noon. , let’s have dinner there, and I’ll take you for a walk in the afternoon?”

It sounds like Zhang Pingan is busy with work.

Jiang Hudong nodded and said, "Okay, if you have work, go ahead and do it. We'll find a translator here later to take us around."

While he was talking, Li Xiugen, who was standing nearby, had quickly collected the two thousand yuan given by Zhang Ping'an. Ten seconds after Lee Soo-geun got the money, he was taught by Jiang Ho-dong's punch. He immediately said: "I am Sanzang, I manage the economy."

"Ah, I'm sorry, you entered the password yesterday and the card was frozen."

.......

Zhang Pingan went to the panda base to discuss the shooting issues. The base was very easy to talk to. However, in the outdoor park, the program team could be let in in advance for filming, but the panda cub park could not cooperate. Therefore, Zhang Pingan can enter the park early tomorrow morning to take pictures while the keepers are feeding the pandas.

Zhang Ping'an is also very grateful for the park's strong cooperation. After returning from the panda park, Zhang Pingan met the monsters. When he went shopping in the morning, Ahn Jae-hyun didn't come with him because he didn't have a good rest last night. He took advantage of the absence of Kang Ho-dong's snoring to take advantage of the time to relax a little. Get some sleep.

At noon, Zhang Pingan and the people from the program team ate the famous dish, Mapo Tofu, at Chen Mapo's place. After trying the authentic Mapo Tofu, they realized why Mapo Tofu starts with "ma". Words. Because Sichuan peppercorns, a highly flavorful seasoning, made their lips numb. This seasoning may be used more in Sichuan and Chongqing, while Sichuan peppercorns are rarely used in other provinces.

Spicy is actually acceptable to people in many regions. Only that numbness produced a unique stimulation that was a bit unbearable.

The most popular dishes among Koreans are fish-flavored shredded pork, Kung Pao chicken, and twice-cooked pork. These are also popular traditional dishes in China. The couple's lung slices are also good. Chinese cold dishes and hot dishes are paired with the fried rice that Koreans love. This is the end of lunch. In the evening, Zhang Pingan decided to spend his own money to treat everyone from the program team to have a meal at Li Xuan in the Ritz-Carlton. In Chengdu, Li Xuan is definitely the first and best fusion restaurant.

While having lunch, Jiang Hodong came to Zhang Pingan and said, "Ping An, did you know that Ahn Jung Hwan, Kim Sung Joo, and I hosted a food program "COOK Family Representative"?"

Although Zhang Pingan knew about this program in his memory, Zhang Pingan felt that it had more entertainment content. He remembered watching two episodes, and both episodes were won by the Korean food team. What is this if not entertainment?

Zhang Pingan felt that this program had not been aired yet, so he said, "I'm not sure. Has the program been aired?"

Kang Ho Dong said, "The first episode will be broadcast next week."

Zhang Ping'an said with a smile: "Is that so? Hudong brother and JTBC have become very close recently. Is it "Knowing Brothers" again and a new food show?"

Kang Ho Dong said bitterly: "There is no way. If I appear frequently on public channels after that incident, it will not be good for the image of the TV station. Now the conditions on the 'cable channel' are a little more relaxed."

Zhang Ping'an nodded in understanding: "But did you tell me that I was invited to star in the new show? I'm not a chef."

"No, I want you to help communicate and see if the restaurant where you are dining today can accept the filming invitation from our program team. It is to invite our Korean chefs and the chefs in the restaurant to have a food showdown together. At present, we have filmed with HK The chefs in the restaurant competed, and the next filming was scheduled in Osaka. When I came to China this time, I heard the writer of our program saying that "Sichuan cuisine" is a very famous cuisine in China, and there are also many Sichuan dishes in Korean Chinese food. 's shadow?"

This time "New Journey to the West" was filmed in Chengdu. When JTBC's program team received the news, they asked Jiang Hodong to come over and ask Zhang Ping'an to see if they could ask him, a person with some energy in China, to help bridge the gap. Compared with Korean TV stations, Zhang Ping'an, a wealthy man from China, will definitely have more connections than their program team. This is what the program team there thinks.

Zhang Ping'an said with a smile: "I can only help ask the boss about this matter, whether it can be shot. I can't guarantee this."

Zhang Pingan has never thought about doing his best to help JTBC. Even if he can find some connections to promote this filming, why should he owe himself a debt of favor to other program teams? So he thought of just calling the boss and asking casually, just to show off. As for whether the restaurant boss would agree to the filming, he couldn't guarantee that. Anyway, he just wanted to make a statement in front of Jiang Hodong.

Jiang Hodong nodded and said, "Okay, you can communicate with the boss. If it doesn't work, don't force it."

After a while, the owner of the restaurant came. Zhang Ping'an briefly communicated the idea of ​​Jiang Hudong's program to him. Unexpectedly, the owner actually nodded and agreed. Isn't it just filming a food show? Just shoot it. The cooking competition in the content can actually be seen as an exchange of cooking skills and mutual learning.

Zhang Pingan told Jiang Hudong that the boss agreed to shoot, and Jiang Hudong shook the boss's hand to express his gratitude. At the same time, he also said that he would arrange for Korean staff to come over as soon as possible to discuss the specific shooting time with the boss.

After coming out of the restaurant, Jiang Hudong thanked Zhang Pingan again. In fact, Zhang Pingan himself did not expect that the boss would agree so easily.

Luo Yingshi smiled and said: "You have become a 'universal' now. JTBC, do you want to produce some new programs with you? I heard that the TV station there has recently increased investment in variety shows."

JTBC, in fact, the variety shows in the past were not very good. Recently, Zhang Ping'an was asked to participate by Luo Yingshi for "Please Give Me to the Refrigerator" and "Non-Summit". There is also a program extended from "Un-Summit" called "Where is My Friend's Home?" This program tells about some overseas exotic customs and folklore programs, and gradually makes JTBC's variety shows rise.

JTBC takes the "international" route in variety shows, and the copyrights of these programs produced have been introduced to China one after another. Now I think of the cooking competition again. It's a bit like finding creative inspiration from Zhang Ping'an's "The Showdown", right?

And that was a program produced by Zhang Ping'an in order to break Koreans' prejudice against Chinese cuisine. He used competitions to let Korean audiences know more about Chinese cuisine as much as possible.

As for Kang Ho Dong's competition in this show, it seems a bit formal, but not such a formal cooking showdown.

Zhang Pingan looked at Luo Yingshi with a smile and said: "JTBC, I have very little contact with me on weekdays, except for the last time you asked me to participate in their TV station's program. On weekdays, the person I contact the most is CJ Entertainment!"

Luo Yingshi responded with a smile: "Why don't you come and take a job in our company, so that we can work together to produce more programs."
