Xia Xi seemed to be looking forward to the meeting with Xie Ran. She arrived at the restaurant early in the evening before it was time for dinner.
Knowing that Xie Ran and the others were recording the show, in order not to affect the shooting effect of the show, Xia Xi also specially invited a group of friends to come over for dinner, and directly set up the reserved room as a friend's party, so that the restaurant could present a lively scene of full seats.
Therefore, since the broadcast of "Somewhere With You", it was the first time that there was a case where there were guests in the task of recruiting guests, and it was completely completed by the guests without borrowing the resources of the program group.
The people of the old West are always enthusiastic, and the guests who come are all Xia Xi's friends. They are very generous to the show team. They not only cooperate with the filming, but also actively interact with the guests from time to time, creating a lot of material for the show.
The show team was very relaxed and happy, but several star guests were not so happy, because they found that they had completely become waiters.
Originally, according to the mission setting, they had to have two roles, one to attract customers and one to serve them. Now that Xia Xi has reserved the venue, naturally there is no need to attract customers, so their job is only to serve the guests.
This is nothing at all, this task is like this, because the space in the store is limited, when the customer is full, you have to suspend customer reception first, and serve this group of customers well, so after a few seasons, it is normal for guests to act as waiters together. But the thing.
But the problem is, this season, there is a person whose style is completely different from everyone's.
While the other guests were running in and out, busy carrying dishes and pouring water, Xie Ranzheng was sitting leisurely in the lounge on the terrace of the restaurant, chatting and laughing with Xia Xi and her two friends.
Xia Xi is a red-haired middle-aged woman who is very elegant and dignified, unlike the raunchy artist image that the public generally thinks of.
The two friends she sat with were equally well-dressed and well-spoken.
Although Xie Ran was wearing the uniform custom-made by the restaurant, he was tall and straight, with a handsome face, cold and sharp eyebrows, and a posture that was naturally noble and calm. He looked more like a superior than the others.
These people are not only outstanding in appearance, but the topics that pop up in their mouths are also more high-end. In addition to the high frequency of some professional vocabulary, occasionally some languages from other countries are mixed in. It is completely a conversation between social elites. Got to be stunned.
Halfway through, Xia Xi finished drinking the water in the cup, then raised her hand and shouted, "excuse me."
"I'll do it." Xie Ran stood up, picked up the glass kettle on the table and was about to pour water, when suddenly a figure rushed over from the side.
"I'll come, I'll come." Zhu Chuanjia snatched the kettle from his hand, "How can I let you pour the water yourself!"
Xie Ran's hands were empty. He glanced at Zhu Chuanjia and asked suspiciously, "Is there any problem? I'm also a waiter."
Zhu Chuanjia was silent for a moment, and couldn't help shedding tears of the weak: "You don't say that I have forgotten about it."
It was because Xie Ran's aura was so prominent that everyone had forgotten that he was also a waiter in the restaurant. It seemed that he was born to sit there and accept other people's services.
It's really hard for Xie Ran to remember this setting.
"Then do it yourself." Zhu Chuanjia sadly stuffed the kettle back into Xie Ran's hand, and then continued to serve other guests.
However, just a few steps away, he was stopped by Jiang Wei. Jiang Wei's face seemed to disagree: "Why don't you pour water for them, and let President Xie do it himself?"
Zhu Chuanjia asked quietly: "Do you remember that President Xie is also a waiter?"
Jiang Wei: "...Damn, I forgot!"
"It's not your problem." Zhu Chuanjia patted him on the shoulder with empathy and sighed, "To be honest, when I asked President Xie to welcome the guests in the morning, I still felt a little uneasy, and felt that it was not what he should have. operation, now I finally feel at ease, this is the correct way for him to open."
Jiang Wei thought for a while, and said tragically, "You are right."
When the two of them were talking, Fang Huiwang was walking by with a dinner plate. Hearing Zhu Chuanjia's emotion, he paused unconsciously and turned his head to look in Xie Ran's direction.
At this time, the night fell, and the lights were on.
The warm yellow light enveloped Xie Ran gently, making him less sharp, and looking back at the familiar warmth a little more.
But the attitude of his superiors and the topics he talks about are completely unfamiliar to Fang Huiwang, and it seems that he will never be able to reach them.
Fang Huiwang involuntarily clenched the tray in his hand.
"... The photos you took really surprised me." Xia Xi was still immersed in surprise, "You have completely reproduced the picture of "Old and New West" - from a realistic point of view, this is something no one has ever been able to do , It is really unreasonable that your name is not even in the appreciation field."
Xie Ran was not excited by Xia Xi's appreciation, but nodded slightly, and said neither humblely nor arrogantly, "Sorry, but I can't do it either, it was done by a machine."
Xia Xi puzzled: "Machine?"
"Yes." Xie Ran tapped the armrest of the sofa with her index finger, "It's my AI."
Meng Feixuan's real situation was not suitable for disclosure, so Xie Ran only explained the machine's algorithm logic and deep learning concepts to them.
Xie Ran's speaking ability is undoubtedly very strong. In the past, he often had to introduce his company's advanced product concepts to the public, but at this time, he could easily understand those obscure concepts. Even an artist like Xia Xi with poor technical knowledge can understand it.
After he finished speaking, Xia Xi suddenly realized: "So it is."
Xie Ran nodded: "Unfortunately, the facts are different from what you thought, and you may be disappointed."
"How could it be!" Xia Xi showed no sign of disappointment, "On the contrary, I think what you just said is very remarkable. Although I don't understand the specific principles, it can make machines learn the art of human beings... I think, you I obviously have a higher level of aesthetics, just not in the form we are familiar with."
"It's not difficult for an average connoisseur to teach a human being to appreciate, because human beings have the same feelings, but it's obviously much more difficult for you to teach a machine." I’m not the kind of painter who is invincible. Art comes from life, and technology can create life. I think the ultimate technology is actually the ultimate art.”
Xie Ran seemed to be hearing this kind of argument for the first time, and was a little surprised for a while.
And Meng Feixuan laughed proudly in the earphone: "Sir, the great painter has certified my achievements, will I even be an artist in the future?"
His system is really easy to get carried away.
As if Xie Ran didn't hear it, he just smiled at Xia Xi and said inexplicably, "Thank you, my machine is very happy."
Finally made it to the end of the meal time, Xia Xi's friends said goodbye and dispersed. In the end, only Xia Xi and those two friends were left. They seemed to have talked about some interesting topics, and they still sat in the same place and continued to talk. nonstop.
The program team had already filmed enough material, so they simply let Xie Ran and the others continue, and those in the restaurant began to prepare for work.
The senior group and the girl group sister Hua Xianyu completely lost their dreams. Several people spread out in the rest area and sighed one after another.
Jiang Wei waved his hand and said, "I admit defeat, this time I really admit defeat."
Zhu Chuanjia's macho man burst into tears: "Mr. Xie, he is not a man! He is too impersonal!"
Chen Xiaoxuan also followed "嘤嘤嘤": "I knew we should eat well and live well from the beginning, what is the purpose of working hard to save money!"
Meng Xixi directly turned grief into appetite: "We'll order the most expensive set tonight!"
The staff of the program group: "… "
Although I really want to comfort them, I don't know where to start.
In the end, the director still has experience. Seeing this, he came to cheer them up: "Don't give up so quickly, there are still two days, even if Mr. Xie's turnover today..."
He stuck for a moment, turned his head and asked the staff, "How much is Mr. Xie's turnover today?"
The staff member said: "The private fee is 2,000 US dollars, and the consumption is 4,600 US dollars, a total of 6,660 US dollars."
The director was silent for a while, and continued to say to several guests firmly: "You can still hope that Mr. Xie spends money indiscriminately."
He even gave them a trick, "Isn't there a shopping mall nearby? You try to take him there, I don't believe he doesn't buy things!"
Zhu Chuanjia's mouth twitched when she heard it, and she looked at the director with inexhaustible words: "Director, forget it—"
"It can't be counted, the spirit of our show is to never give up until the last moment..." Before the director could finish his words, he saw Xie Ran suddenly come over and call him, followed by a white man next to him. Xie Ran talked about one of Xia Xi's friends all night.
Xie Ran asked, "Director, do you and the producer have time now?"
The director turned to look at him and the white man, and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?"
"This is Pete, the producer of Old West City TV." Xie Ran introduced, "He is very interested in our program and wants to talk to you about whether we can introduce the program."
At the same time as he spoke, a man named Pete also stepped forward and shook hands with the director, handed over his business card, and said, "Hello, Mr. Xie has introduced your program to me in detail, I am personally very interested, and hope to have the opportunity. able to cooperate.”
It turned out that Xia Xi specially invited his friend Pete, who is an executive in the TV station, to come along with him, considering that he was recording a program here.
At first, Pete just wanted to casually come and see how Huaxia's team works, and since the show team was busy, he didn't show his identity, but just chatted with Xie Ran at random with Xia Xi.
He originally thought that Xie Ran was just an ordinary Chinese star, perhaps with some appreciation ability, but he usually had more contact with big stars, so he was not very interested.
Unexpectedly, Xie Ran's performance was completely beyond his expectations. The star was actually very good at business operations, but in just one meal, Xie Ran completely convinced him.
After the director understood the whole story, he was stunned, and immediately asked the staff to come to the producer, while he looked back at the same sluggish salted fish guests, and said solemnly: "Forget it, you are still direct. Admit defeat to President Xie."
Salted fish: "… "
Okay, let the heavens know that we will admit defeat!
The author has something to say: Mr. Xie is puzzled: ? I don't seem to be doing it today
Salted fish: Mr. Xie, I don't want to work hard.
