Chapter 70 Considerations, Choices
next day
Although Chen Jingyuan is currently at the Penguin Building in Shenzhen, preparations for "Chinese Restaurant" have been ongoing.
He operates remotely, for example, he poached a directing team from a TV station.
Early site exploration and some international program procedures have already begun.
The location chosen for the first season remains the same as before, in Siam, so there's no need to change it.
However, the guest lineup has not yet been finalized; currently, it consists of Huang Xiaoming, Yan Danchen, and Zhang Yunlong.
Another international model, Zhang Liang, worked as a chef for many years before becoming a model.
To ensure the quality of the food in "Chinese Restaurant", this person is also indispensable.
He began to think about the suggestions he had made to Chen Keke and the others last night.
Joining Bai Mengyan, who is almost unknown, is still a bit of a stretch.
In particular, all the guests on "Chinese Restaurant" seemed to have less star power.
"If Bai Mengyan joins, there will definitely be one more candidate!"
Chen Jingyuan began to think carefully.
The original plan was for five regular guests, but adding one more is not unacceptable.
Choose a celebrity, preferably one who has some culinary skills and is already famous.
The name Chef Xie involuntarily came to mind.
Chef Xie seems to fit both the bill in terms of fame and culinary skills!
Unfortunately, Chef Xie's self-produced variety show "Chef Nic's Taste of Life" has already aired its second season.
It's impossible to join the "Chinese Restaurant" franchise, which has some competition.
As a second choice, Chen Jingyuan had another candidate in mind: Huang Zongze!
Firstly, Wong Chung-tse possesses a professional chef qualification certificate recognized in Hong Kong Island, and it is said that he even apprenticed under a chef at a five-star hotel.
If she hadn't entered the entertainment industry, she would have planned to become a chef.
Most importantly, before his rebirth, Huang Zongze had been a guest on the original "Chinese Restaurant 3" and had a remarkable performance.
Huang Zongze also has considerable knowledge of Southeast Asian cuisine, and he is quite well-known.
The variety show effect is also good, which completely meets Chen Jingyuan's requirements.
Moreover, having another Hong Kong artist allows for a better comparison of dietary differences across regions.
Just as Chen Jingyuan was pondering this, he received two messages recommending Bai Mengyan.
One is from Chen Keke, and the other is from Dilraba!
"Bai Mengyan has only been signed with the studio for two days, right?"
"How did you get so close to Chen Keke and Dilraba!?"
Chen Jingyuan couldn't help but show a curious expression as he murmured softly.
Unbeknownst to him, Bai Mengyan chose to "surrender" to help him gain a better chance.
However, doing this is still quite risky; if it gets exposed, you'll be caught in the middle and won't be liked by anyone.
Fortunately, Chen Jingyuan did not investigate the matter further!
"Fine, let's just add Bai Mengyan too."
"It would be fine to let her join the kitchen and do the dishes properly."
Chen Jingyuan's heart began to waver!
Bai Mengyan is considered one of our own to some extent, especially with the help of Dilraba and Chen Keke.
Moreover, he is not afraid of being criticized or controversial, and all these factors combined make it worthwhile for Chen Jingyuan to make an exception.
The original plan for "Chinese Restaurant" has been revised.
The addition of one more person significantly increased the workload. However, the core elements of the Chinese restaurant remained unchanged.
With the help of this variety show, Bai Mengyan might actually become famous overnight.
Bai Mengyan has quite a few breakout moments in variety shows.
If we get Tencent Video's PR department to focus on it, there's still a good chance we can succeed.
Whether Bai Mengyan can successfully become a regular guest depends on Huang Zongze's choice.
Chen Jingyuan immediately instructed his assistant, Qiao Yujie, to arrange for someone to make contact.

Huang Zongze looked at the two invitations to be regular guests on variety shows and couldn't help but fall into thought.
One is "What to Eat Today" from Tomato TV, and the other is "Chinese Restaurant" from Tencent Video.
The former is a satellite TV station, while the latter is a powerful long-form video platform backed by Tencent.
For a moment, Huang Zongze was at a loss for what to do and looked at his manager.
"I think choosing the latter might be better."
"According to our understanding, Tianhe Studio, which produced 'Chinese Restaurant,' had an undefeated record before."
...
After thinking for a moment, the agent spoke up!
Hong Kong celebrities tend to believe in feng shui, fortune telling, auspicious omens, and other such factors.
They would consult the gods and ask for divination before making important decisions such as filming a new movie, holding a concert, or signing a contract.
They attach great importance to everything, including the feng shui of their company and home.
Tianhe Studio has achieved consecutive successes on several projects, which is a testament to its soaring fortunes.
When both sides have roughly the same amount of resources, other factors need to be considered.
"Undefeated?!"
Huang Zongze couldn't help but show a look of astonishment as he spoke.
Without thinking, he reached out and took the information about Tianhe Studio from his agent.
Many projects, and all of them have achieved excellent results.
One success could be attributed to an accident, but success every time demonstrates ability.
For Huang Zongze, to increase his fame in mainland China, he definitely needs to succeed in some projects.
"I'll choose 'Chinese Restaurant'!"
Huang Zongze quickly made up his mind and spoke up.
He also understood the concept of fortune-telling, and the Tencent Video platform wasn't bad either.
Two days after Chen Jingyuan invited me, I received a reply from Huang Zongze.
That means it's been almost three days since Chen Keke called.
"You've agreed? Then we can inform Chen Keke."
"Let Bai Mengyan go wash the dishes first to practice her skills and get her hands and feet moving quickly."
"Also, ask her to notify Jiang Qiumei to help with the passport application."
...
After seeing Huang Zongze's reply confirming the news, Chen Jingyuan immediately sent a message to Chen Keke.
In fact, he was also preparing to go to Hengdian in a few days.
The broadcast of "Forensic Doctor Qin Ming" is almost over, and the publicity is almost done as well.
Next, you basically just have to wait for the bonus to be paid out.
Besides, filming for "Goodbye My Princess" is almost finished, so he will definitely have to go there.
Because of the ascension of the main actors in the production team, filming for "Goodbye My Princess" was completed a little earlier than originally planned.
In addition, the new variety show "Chinese Restaurant" is scheduled to be filmed before October.
The reason is simple: Huang Xiaoming's wedding is scheduled for October 8th.
This has been dubbed the "wedding of the century" by many netizens!
It cost a whopping 200 million yuan, and involved most of the entertainment industry, with the entire event being broadcast live.
Most importantly, it also caused quite a few controversies.
"Wait a minute, maybe Master Huang will even send me an invitation!?"
Suddenly, Chen Jingyuan remembered something!
This is quite possible, for the simple reason that Huang Xiaoming is known for his high emotional intelligence.
With the collaboration on "Chinese Restaurant" and the subsequent maintenance of the relationship, it's impossible that they wouldn't send out a single invitation.
