The emergence and development of artificial intelligence is or will have a great impact on the social division of labor, and many people are worried about whether their jobs will be replaced. The story of Chef will happen in the near future. All mechanical labor has been replaced by robots.

Behind-the-scenes Production of The Chef
Deng Yixian mentioned that in the spring of 20 18, she and Vanessa were having a headache writing a script. At this time, she cheered up and said, "Think about it, if one day this film won the student Oscar, how cool it would be." I didn't expect such a joke to come true The Cook, which they wrote together, won the best school drama award in China.
The idea of this short film comes from Deng Yixian. She said the story was inspired by the braised chicken made by grandpa. Once her mother told her that even if grandpa taught her to cook this dish, she just couldn't make that taste. Deng Yixian therefore thought that if the cold machine took over the production of human dishes in the future, whether it could make that taste.
There are many rules and regulations for filming in the United States, which is also part of the capital expenditure of the "Chef" crew; Yuan Gen said that it is necessary to close the camera scene, the police should ensure safety, and medical staff should be present. These are all rules that must be followed.
