My Entertainment Circle

When Zhang Pingan came out of the inn, he met Lee Seung-gi who had just arrived on the road. He smiled and asked, "Where are you going?" Zhang Pingan simply responded, "Book a restaurant." After the two nodded, he continued to complete the task, and Zhang Pingan set off for the hotel alone. The restaurant where he and Luo Yingshi and others had dinner last time was in the mall next to the clock tower, not far from the inn, so he chose to walk alone.

Walking in this historic city, I felt very comfortable in my heart, especially watching the tourists coming and going around, listening to them speaking in tones from all over the world, Zhang Pingan had a comfortable smile on his lips. This time the shooting is not in the countryside of South Korea, but in China. Although without his promotion, this program would have been born in Luo Yingshi's hands, but this time it was Zhang Pingan who brought it forward.

Zhang Pingan was still very happy to be able to participate in the production of this program. After all, Luo Yingshi's outdoor variety show shooting has very solid strength, which is not as low-cost as "Three Meals a Day". Relatively speaking, this time's filming in China is a waste of money, because it's overseas. Although Luo Yingshi's team has also traveled to Europe and the United States many times to shoot travel programs such as scenery, this is the first time to come to China! !

When he came to the clock tower, looking at the vehicles surrounding the historical building, Zhang Pingan shook his head with a smile on his face. Because he just came here to buy coffee, he came here again.. He didn't stay too long, but went directly to the restaurant. In the lobby of the restaurant, he talked to the manager about today's filming, and they promised to provide them with a large private room for the filming of the program.

After agreeing on the filming time, Zhang Pingan returned to the inn again. When he came back, all of them arrived, and Jiang Hudong put on a punishment-like thermal underwear in a temperature of more than 30 degrees.

After they arrived, they didn't eat, so Zhang Pingan gave them money and asked them to buy hamburgers by themselves. Jiang Hudong didn't want to run away and would rather not eat. But the group of younger brothers couldn't bear to eat, and he was the last to arrive, so he had to bite the bullet and go out to buy hamburgers.

After eating a little, they all began to take a break in the afternoon. Zhang Pingan talked to writer Li Youzhen about the program arrangement for tonight: "Dinner has always been the highlight of the program, and today is the first day of arrival. We must make sure they are full, so how about this, we recommend a few dishes to them, and then let them take the Chinese menu to order by themselves, until they order the dishes we recommend. For those who order the wrong ones, let them keep eating, keep eating..." Zhang Pingan handed the restaurant menu to Li Youzhen, and Luo Yingshi, who was standing next to him, looked at the menu and saw the number "100" clearly written on it. He smiled and said, "You are too mean, right? Find our recommendation among a hundred dishes? If they order the wrong ones, How much do they want to eat? "

Zhang Pingan said with a sly smile: "I don't know, we will only recommend one dish to them and let them choose from the 100 dishes!"

Luo Yingshi said with a sly smile: "Hahaha... In the past, we tried every way to prevent them from eating, but now you let them eat unlimitedly."

Zhang Pingan said: "On the first day, we have to make sure they are full and eat well, right? And our staff is here for the first time, so today is a good meal for everyone."

"Okay, let's arrange it this way."

......

At night, the lights of Chang'an City were lit up, and the ancient buildings looked particularly beautiful under the lights. The 'monsters' strolled all the way and came to the restaurant leisurely, preparing for the start of the show. Zhang Pingan went to the private room to explain the rules of the game to them and handed them the menu with 100 dishes printed on it.

When they came out of the private room, Zhang Pingan reminded them: "Remember, you can only order more after you finish a dish."

The staff of the program team had already started to serve the dishes, and when Zhang Pingan took a few bites and was about to stand up, Luo Yingshi said: "Pingan, you sit down and eat, I'll watch."

Zhang Pingan smiled and said: "It's okay, I'll just eat whatever I want. You lead everyone to eat well, and if there are not enough dishes, just add more, anyway, our program budget is sufficient."

After they ordered a few dishes, Zhang Pingan went in and took a look. They were still drinking the wooden barrel chicken soup. When Jiang Hudong saw Zhang Pingan coming in, he immediately protested: "We can't finish the soup, let's finish the chicken."

"Okay!" Zhang Pingan didn't know that these people had started to try beef..

I don't know if they watched the show "Jianghu Duel" this time, and they actually have some dietary knowledge of Chinese cuisine?

Lee Seung-gi said "meat" means "pork", and the dish they need to order is written with the word "beef". Jiang Hudong knew the Chinese character for "牛" because they also had the twelve zodiac animals in Korea, so they knew the Chinese character for "牛".

When Zhang Pingan sat back in the restaurant to eat, Luo Yingshi watched them order food. Who knew that Luo Yingshi came out with a dark face in less than ten minutes. Because they had just ordered the dish recommended by Zhang Pingan, they ordered food according to the word "牛".

Zhang Pingan smiled bitterly and said, "This is completely different from what I expected..." It was a failed plan.

Luo Yingshi said with an idea: "This way, if you take the dragon balls and kick them like shuttlecocks, kick five of them, and we will give you another one right away."

"What about failure?"

"If you fail, we will take back the dragon ball that was originally supposed to be sent to you!"

This is the first time Luo Yingshi proposed ‘gamble’. And he didn't know at this time what impact this proposal would have on the program in the subsequent 'gambling' nature after it became the norm. Porsches, Lamborghinis, trips to Iceland, and all kinds of gambling draws will all have serious consequences because of this precedent!

Of course, that was also a long time later. However, the God of Luck will not stand on these ‘sinners’ today. So Zhang Pingan took back the one-star dragon ball easily!

When night fell, Zhang Pingan bought several hundred yuan of kebabs and some cold beer and returned to the inn, inviting the staff to eat together. Of course, as long as it doesn’t affect tomorrow’s shooting, it’s appropriate for everyone to drink two glasses of cold beer to drive away the heat of early summer.

The sound of performers from the program group drinking beer upstairs soon reached downstairs, while Zhang Pingan and Luo Yingshi sat in a leisure position in the patio, drinking wine and chatting about the expectations of the show.

Luo Yingshi took a bunch of mutton skewers and gnawed on them: "We are under a lot of pressure on this show. We have invested so much, but I wonder how the advertising at Station N is going?"

Zhang Ping'an took a sip of beer and said his thoughts: "The first season, I think... can be regarded as a stepping stone for our show. If we can get good network clicks and let the TV station see the benefits, then the show can be moved back TV station."

"We have signed a broadcast contract for two seasons." Luo Yingshi said.

Yes, network platforms are not stupid. If the contract is only for one season, they will certainly not be willing to cooperate. Therefore, the second season must be produced within one year from the end of April this year to May next year.

"We'll wait and see the reaction after it starts airing here. Well, I think it's best to shoot the second season in winter. This way we can form one summer and one winter!"

"Hehe..." Luo Yingshi looked at Zhang Ping'an with a sly smile: "I heard that you are discussing a new work with Mnet again?"

Zhang Ping'an smiled and nodded and said, "Well, we are discussing a new work. The planning here is almost complete. I will start it after the first season ends."

"It seems that we want to deepen our cooperation." Luo Yingshi raised his eyebrows at Zhang Ping'an and said.

Luo Yingshi liked the "Three Meals at Three Hours" planned by Zhang Pingan, as well as this time's "Journey to the West".

Because Zhang Pingan's production style is a bit strange, he can shoot static and comfortable "countryside" and he can also go through hardships with everyone to shoot outdoor scenes, so Luo Yingshi is really willing to cooperate with Zhang Pingan, especially this time Zhang Pingan firmly supports it. His problem with casting.

"Aren't we cooperating now?" Zhang Pingan responded.

Luo Yingshi said: "I watched the food show "Baek Jong-won" you produced, and you pulled Baek Jong-won out to film a variety show. I think you plan to do something about food in the future? How about the two of us? People jointly film a food show?”

Zhang Ping'an responded: "There are too many food programs now. Whether it's "Please Help the Refrigerator" or "Wednesday Food Show", they have achieved good results. Moreover, I agreed when I was filming "The Showdown", SBS , I have already thought about the idea of ​​producing a food show with them next time, and let Baek Jong-won be the host!”

Luo Yingshi smiled and said, "I knew you didn't have good intentions when you brought Baek Jong-won out for the show. How do you plan to use him?"

"Take your time. Recently, a lot of people watched his online live broadcast of teaching cooking in "Little TV". So... I plan to make a show where Baek Jong-won teaches cooking."

Once you teach cooking, there are many things to design. Luo Yingshi said in surprise: "Bai Zhongyuan has many secret recipes, is he willing to show them?"

Zhang Pingan responded: "When I chatted with Bai Zhongyuan last time, he said that even if he taught those people how to cook on the Internet, there are still many people who are willing to go out to eat. After all, modern people are getting lazier. . Most of the people who really learn his cooking are housewives, and these are home-cooked dishes, not special dishes.”
