Participated in a love variety show and was forced to debut and rise! /You are a variety artist

"Ha ha……"

Zheng Chengyu did not comment, but asked in a confused manner: "If I guess correctly, the filming of "Star You" will be finished soon, right?"

"Almost, it should be finished in mid-May."

Li Yichen replied that this kind of thing is not a secret. "Star You" gave up the format of filming and broadcasting at the same time. The filming time is set at three months. According to the current progress of the crew, it may be completed a few days earlier. , plus post-production will take about two months, the premiere should be scheduled for the end of July or early August, just in time for the summer vacation.

"Then I wish your first book a great success."

Zheng Chengyu said a few auspicious words, and then chatted with Li Yichen about the story behind the fried chicken restaurant. Li Yichen understood Zheng Chengyu's current situation very well, so he knew everything and sincerely hoped to help Zheng Chengyu.

"...The former boss said that the business was bleak and he could no longer continue the business. The store was about to be resold. Finally, director Wang Gaoming bought the store."

"...I only found out about it after watching the news. In the end I had to bite the bullet and learn how to fry chicken. I didn't expect that the business would be so good now...it's full of customers every day."

Chapter 275 Co-production

Zheng Chengyu listened to Li Yichen's narration, and quickly wrote down some keywords or phrases that touched him in a small notebook with a pen in hand. This brainstorming state was the most intoxicating for him.

After a while, Zheng Chengyu suddenly laughed and said: "Haha, it sounds like an inhuman profession... I'm curious, are you opening a restaurant? Or filming a variety show?"

"Of course it's a restaurant..."

Li Yichen blurted out, and then sighed: "Maybe only the program team thinks they are recording a variety show... The five of us are exhausted every day, and we often forget the existence of the camera when we are busy... Burned by hot oil, sprained wrists, We have all been fortunate to experience occupational diseases such as waist injuries and so on. Being a chef is a really hard profession."

"You are really filming a reality show... It's not like some shows where some stars just pose in front of the camera and fool the audience."

Zheng Chengyu obviously knew some of the gossip in the industry and had some pointers.

"Everyone may be facing different situations...and we are different types of programs, so it is not good to compare them together."

Li Yichen laughed. Although they were chatting in private, he still maintained a neutral stance very self-control. After all, only the parties involved knew about things outside the camera. They could only listen to it as gossip and leave a judgment in their own minds. .

"You...you will definitely become an amazing host in the future."

Zheng Chengyu lamented that Li Yichen's impeccable character may not be liked by strangers because it makes people feel unreal, but over time, when everyone knows and understands Li Yichen's character, the connections and connections he can accumulate will The energy is just terrible.

"I'll borrow your good words."

Li Yichen laughed loudly: "You are already an amazing screenwriter now."

"Tsk tsk..."

Zheng Chengyu shook his head slightly: "I can't help you, forget it, let's stop here today. I know you have to prepare for the evening business in advance, so it won't take up too much of your rest time. When the show is over, I'll treat you to dinner as a thank you. Maybe we will cooperate in the future..."

"Okay, then I'll treat you to this meal."

The conversation was in harmony, and Li Yichen was really tired. He didn't want to waste time on this kind of thing. He exchanged mobile phone numbers with Zheng Chengyu and got up to check out.

"See you later..."

Zheng Chengyu stood at the door of the coffee shop, watching Li Yichen go away, then turned and left to find where he parked his car.

Although the chat was brief, Li Yichen left a good impression on Zheng Chengyu. He now has another idea for his new book. If it is written in comedy, he might consider cooperating with Li Yichen to co-write the screenplay. Of course , this needs to be decided after Zheng Chengyu sees the results of "Star You" after it is broadcast. He is not in a hurry anyway and can spend two or three years slowly accumulating scripts.

With Zheng Chengyu's creative ability, he can write in any direction with this idea, whether it is a gunfight movie, a thriller, a romance movie, an action movie... or a comedy.

Or they can be stacked on top of each other, for example, you can fuse the three elements of gunplay, love and action together.

In the end, Zheng Chengyu still has to consider which direction can produce the best effect before deciding on the final creative direction.

……

For Li Yichen, Zheng Chengyu's arrival is just a small episode. His attention is still focused on "Li's Restaurant". Although the recording of the program will end next week, Li Yichen still does not relax at all. Instead, he will remind Chen Si from time to time. Hua, Ye Linsen and others must work hard to persist until the end of the program recording.

With the accumulation of experience, Li Yichen and others have slowly increased the restaurant's profit margin to more than 60.00%.

Last week, at the expense of Wang Gaoming's waist, the restaurant made a total profit of 1.461 yuan in three days. The cumulative profit in the first three weeks has exceeded the 500 yuan that needs to be returned to the program team, and there is more than [-] yuan more, which is also In other words, how much profit they make this week and next week will determine how much money they can ultimately donate to charity.

Although Li Yichen is tired, he is very happy to be able to do such a meaningful thing while working. He has always hoped to help some people in need when he is able, just like his father Li Gang has always In doing so.

Li Gang is a benchmark in Li Yichen's heart. He is not only a father, but also an idol and role model.

Li Yichen just thought about these words in his heart. If he really had to face Li Gang, he couldn't say them out loud. It was too disgusting.

Pieces of chicken were lowered into the frying pan, and pieces of golden fried chicken were picked up and brought to the table. Repeatedly, the sun rose and set, and in the blink of an eye, the business hours on Sunday night were over.

Li Yichen clapped his hands, called everyone to stand in a circle, thanked each other for their hard work, and then gave each other a warm hug.

"Today's restaurant business is over, and this week's business is also over... Everyone has worked hard. Whether it is the kitchen or the lobby, we have done a perfect job."

"clap clap"

The crowd applauded themselves.

Every week, everyone held on and held their breath for three days. Every time he felt like he was about to die from exhaustion, Li Yichen would always use these fancy spiritual encouragements to cheer everyone up and warm their hearts.

"This is the feeling of a team..."

Everyone has thought this to some extent.

"Brother Yichen, haven't you ever thought about learning new technologies and launching new dishes?"

Peng Cheng suddenly asked.

"Are you teaching me?"

Li Yichen said with a straight face: "The current dishes and chopsticks are not enough for you to wash?"

"Don't quarrel..."

Wu Xiayong advised: "Let Peng Cheng do a dishwashing show alone from now on."

"Haha, "Li's Restaurant" side story?"

Everyone laughed. If they remembered correctly, "Lee's Restaurant" itself is a spin-off of "The Island House". If the spin-off of "Lee's Restaurant" is filmed again, it will feel like an infinite matryoshka doll.

Ye Linsen thought of an interesting name and was very happy: "I think the name of the program can be called "A Day in the Life of Peng Washing Dishes"."

“…recording how many dishes a new artificial intelligence dishwasher can wash in a day.”

Chen Sihua smiled and added: "Maybe we can also apply for Guinness World Records."

"There won't be such a record, right?"

Peng Cheng doubted.

"It seems that there are really..."

Li Yichen vaguely remembered a news report about this kind of thing he had seen before. He recalled: "It seems that 300 people washed dishes in seconds, breaking the world record for the most people washing dishes at the same time."

"Really? How many dishes have you washed?"

"Ten thousand."

"..."

Chapter 276 New Drivers

Today is May [-]st, which is a special day for Li Yichen.

He is finally going to buy a car!

The reason why he chose to buy a car today was because Wu Zhi told him that when buying a car during long holidays such as May Day and National Day, dealers generally give large discounts in order to boost sales, making it easier to bargain.

With the mentality of saving when he can, Li Yichen followed the good advice and even invited Wu Zhi to help him negotiate the price today.

Time flies so fast, it’s almost chapter 270.

As early as September 28 last year, Li Yichen passed the theory test of subject one with full marks. However, due to various busy reasons, it took eight months for him to get his driver's license.

Before Li Yichen accepted Wu Zhi's science education last time, he didn't know that buying a car would be a troublesome thing. So when he told Wu Zhi that he wanted to spend about 50 yuan to buy a car, Wu Zhi gave him a hard blow. The ground was scorned.

"You think too simply..."

"First of all, is your budget of 50 yuan the bare car price or the off-the-shelf price?"

“How many people are there on the long-term ride?”

"What are the requirements for power and control?"

"Do you have any special preferences for the appearance, brand, etc. of the car?"

"..."

Wu Zhi's series of questions immediately confused Li Yichen.

"And what's the level of your driving skills?"

Wu Zhi did not stop and continued to ask, and then instantly smiled evilly and said: "Well, novice, novice... I know this, I don't need you to answer."

"A rookie is a rookie, why do you need to add the word 'small'? Can't a big rookie do it?"

Li Yichen muttered, obviously not satisfied with Wu Zhi's flippant choice of words.

However, these questions from Wu Zhi did make Li Yichen realize that his needs were too general. Even with a budget price that he couldn't even distinguish between the bare car price and the landed price, he looked for recommendations, which really made people feel uncomfortable. Difficult.

"Fortunately, Wu Zhi is professional..."

Li Yichen thought happily, thought carefully for a moment, and refined his needs. Finally, on Wu Zhi's recommendation, Li Yichen chose the BMW 5 Series.

When he arrived at the car dealership, he encountered a dealer in the Donghua area who offered a price discount of up to 4.62 yuan. In the end, Li Yichen only paid the full price of 47 yuan to buy a BMW 530, and the dealer had the existing car and a certificate. So it took him half a day to complete the procedures before he drove the new car home.

Well, it was actually Wu Zhi who helped Li Yichen drive the car home. Because the car insurance was effective at [-]:[-] the next day, the car dealer did not dare to let Li Yichen, a new driver, drive away for fear of causing an accident when he went out. Moreover, Li Yichen himself did not dare to drive. of.

"The first car is such a good car, but you will have a headache in the future."

Wu Zhi seemed to be able to foresee what would happen to this car in the future.

"Why do you say that?"

Li Yichen didn't quite understand.

Wu Zhi said with a smile: "Because novices on the road usually have to experience several bumps and bumps, big and small, before they can become a real experienced driver mentally. In other words, your car must at least be... A garage.”

"I'll drive very carefully."

Li Yichen's heart tightened. If he bumped into the first car in his life, he would be heartbroken.

With a car, Li Yichen no longer has to go out early in the morning to catch the subway, and can have more private time to do what he wants to do.

I can get about half an hour more study time every day, and sometimes I can even send my two younger sisters to school and then go to the TV station on the way.

Of course, the first step in all of this is for Li Yichen to drive the car safely to the TV station tomorrow.
