"Does making soup count?" Chen Qiang thought seriously for more than ten seconds and suddenly said.
Lu Yaxian waited for a long time. She originally thought that Chen Qiang would hold back some big move, but she didn't expect that the answer turned out to be making soup. She took a deep breath, tried hard to maintain the smile on her face, and continued to ask:
"Do you have any other special abilities? Special abilities mean abilities or strengths that ordinary celebrity assistants or ordinary people don't have, but you have."
"Others don't have it, but I do?" Chen Qiang's eyes lit up: "Brother Hao and I are distant relatives, does this count?"
Lu Yaxian suddenly realized: It turns out that Chen Qiang is a related household, no wonder Chen Minhao asked him to be his assistant. This can indeed be considered a special ability.
However, "Me and My Concert" is a variety show that promotes the positive energy of socialism. Lu Yaxian feels that the wrong idea of "relying on connections and going through the back door" cannot be conveyed to everyone in the show.
Lu Yaxian didn't know how to explain it to Chen Qiang. She sighed: "Let's talk about making soup. Who did you learn how to make soup from?"
Chen Qiang said: “Let’s download kitchen and cooking books in one app.”
Lu Yaxian was about to cry. She really couldn't find Chen Qiang's highlights.
If Chen Qiang studied under some famous chef or master, his soup-making ability would be considered remarkable, but if he just taught himself, this skill would be considered mediocre.
As a girl, Lu Yaxian admires boys who cook, and Chen Qiang is good-looking, so he can be included in her selection of a spouse.
But as Lu Yaxian's assistant to producer Li Weijie, the introduction videos of the first few people were all bling-bling (ineffective), but when it came to Chen Qiang, it collapsed, which is really unreasonable.
But there was nothing Lu Yaxian could do.
She thought for a while and finally said, "Then can I film a clip of you making soup?" Lu Yaxian can only rely on the powerful post-processing to add some of the same special effects of the Chinese Little Master to the video of Chen Qiang making soup.
Chen Qiang said firmly: "No, because without Brother Hao's permission, I can't take strangers to his house."
Lu Yaxian felt that even if they were not familiar with each other now, they were both assistants and would have many opportunities to interact with each other in the future. Therefore, she suddenly didn't know what she should be worried about:
Should I be sad that I was blocked from filming the introductory video? Or should I feel sad that I am a "stranger"
After seeing Lu Yaxian's expression, Chen Qiang thought for a while and said: "Actually, there are some villas that are rented out for parties and can be used for cooking. We can rent the villa and I will make soup in the villa, so that you can also shoot videos. "
Lu Yaxian breathed a sigh of relief and agreed immediately.
That afternoon, she took Chen Qiang and two photographers to the supermarket to buy ingredients, and then to a villa on the outskirts of Kyoto.
Lu Yaxian originally wanted to shoot a few clips and leave. After all, in the video introduced, the soup-making clip might just be passed by.
But Chen Qiang insisted on finishing.
Lu Yaxian agreed because Chen Qiang was a distant relative of Chen Minhao.
Chen Qiang made the soup much slower than she expected. It took about 5 hours to make the soup.
Lu Yaxian took a sip out of courtesy. After finishing the drink, she was shocked: "This is so delicious!"
Ten minutes later, Lu Yaxian looked at the empty bowl in front of her, wiped her mouth sheepishly, and said, "I have a friend who really likes soup. Can I pack some for her?"
Lu Yaxian chose to activate the skill: making friends out of nothing.
Chen Qiang nodded, put the remaining soup into the thermos bucket, and handed it to Lu Yaxian.
Lu Yaxian immediately took the thermos bucket and said: "Actually, Penguin Video is planning to create a food show "Tea Restaurant". Are you interested in participating?"
"No, if I go, who will make soup for Brother Hao?" Chen Qiang refused firmly.
Lu Yaxian asked: "Besides making soup, is there anything else in your life?"
Chen Qiang smiled, looked out the window and said, "Yes, I'm learning English recently."
Lu Yaxian looked at Chen Qiang's profile. She felt that Chen Qiang seemed to have many stories, and she felt that a person's starting point was relatively low, but choosing to be proactive and study hard was also a good introduction angle.
Lu Yaxian asked happily: "Why do you want to learn English?"
Chen Qiang said: "English is a universal language and can be used in many countries. If I don't understand English, when Brother Hao goes overseas, I won't be able to buy vegetables. If I can't buy vegetables, I won't be able to make soup. I can't. What’s the meaning of a life of making soup?”
Lu Yaxian nodded and chose to shut up.
Lu Yaxian, when she asked Wu Hongrong to shoot an introduction video the next day, she found that Chen Qiang was not bad.
Because compared to Chen Qiang, Wu Hongrong is a complete bully.
"Teacher Wu, nice to meet you. We would like to make a short video introducing you."
"It's too early for you to be happy."
"Teacher Wu, when will we start shooting the introduction video?"
"When did I agree to shoot?"
Musicians have always held a disdain for variety shows, because in the eyes of musicians, variety shows and art have nothing to do with each other. Although few young musicians today reject or resist variety shows, this concept still exists among the older generation of musicians.
Wu Hongrong was very opposed to Chen Minhao broadcasting the entire behind-the-scenes concert in the form of a variety show.
Therefore, Chen Minhao did not dare to notify Wu Hongrong until the second day of official filming. It can only be said that Lu Yaxian hit the muzzle of the gun.
Although Wu Hongrong is unhappy, this is the Chen Minhao concert that he has been thinking about for a long time. He will not abandon it, but there is no way for him to cooperate with the variety show's production team.
Si Ruoyan returned to the studio soon. After Chen Minhao briefly asked her to understand the progress of the Bird's Nest leasing, he took Si Ruoyan and Wu Hongrong to a meeting.
In the corner of the room, there is a fixed camera filming.
This meeting mainly discussed the rigid conditions for concert preparation. In addition to venue rental, there are also audio equipment, lighting equipment, arrangers, etc.
Take the speaker equipment as an example. Chen Minhao heard that a complete set of imported speaker equipment is worth tens of millions, and renting it for a day can cost millions.
In addition, the stages of current concerts are all high-tech stages, involving technologies such as digital media application, automation, electronic communications, power supply and distribution, visual arts and other technologies.
In addition to material preparations, there is also the planning of concert playlists, band rehearsals, backup dance teams, stage costume design, etc.
Chen Minhao didn't know much about these aspects, and he didn't have any connections.
But the smart and witty Chen Minhao knows how to be a hands-off shopkeeper!
