Ramsey can become the highest-paid chef in the world because he is also the host of food TV programs. With the signing of a cooperative food program with Fox TV, his income rose rapidly.
The sixth and seventh seasons of "Hell's Kitchen" hosted by Ramsey were broadcast in the United States last month, while "Kitchen Nightmare" was filmed until the third season. Each episode of these two programs earned 1.57 million pounds ($25,000).
Ramsey will also cooperate with British Channel 4 TV to 20 1 1, which will increase his annual income by 2 million pounds (3160,000 US dollars), of which the engagement fee and the appearance fee will be half.
Although he is a famous host, Ramsey doesn't allow his four children to watch his show, or even take them to his own restaurant for dinner.
In this regard, Ramsey explained in an interview with the Daily Telegraph: "I hope that in the eyes of children, I am just their father, not a TV star."
The program introduces "Nightmare in the Kitchen" (Ramsey &; Acute; Kitchen nightmare)
A commercial reality show that turned the restaurant into a profit. Gordon Ramsay, a famous British chef, challenged himself to save the restaurant in a week and reverse the chaotic management of the hotel. From bleak management to full house after transformation, the whole process was recorded.
Hell's kitchen
Hell's Kitchen was originally a talent show in Britain. Later, it was acquired by Fox TV. After a remake, the American version of Hell's Kitchen was officially launched in 2005.
The protagonist of Hell's Kitchen is, of course, the famous British chef Gordon Ramsay. He has the title of three Michelin stars and has written several best-selling food novels. He is often harsh on exquisite dishes in front of the camera and has a hot personality. Once, a live program said the word "f"11times. I often say in the opening remarks of TV: What the hell! Let's eat something good today. His reason for justifying his hot temper is: how can a chef be enthusiastic if the kitchen is not on fire? It is because of Gordon Ramsay's participation that the word "hell" has been given a more direct meaning. The 12 player who recorded Hell's Kitchen with him has different identities. There are kitchen helpers, employees of insurance companies, single mothers and even college students. They came together because of their common interests.
Of course, in addition to dazzling food, Gordon Ramsay yelled at 12 contestants like a mule. Every day, 12 contestants come into the kitchen and are scolded by Gordon Ramsay. For example, if a contestant has a broad bean that has not been peeled off, he will shout, "You are such an idiot! Chris! " ; A player is a little slow to cut vegetables. He sometimes stares and says, "I wish you didn't have those hands!" " Under such heavy pressure, the students study hard. And those ubiquitous cameras and sound catchers recorded all their experiences. Every week, they cook a table of delicious food for the star guests who can't get into the hall and get out of the kitchen, so that they can comment. Under the strict requirements of Gordon Ramsey, the production process from appetizer to main course, to fresh soup, and finally to dessert is as rigorous as fine works of art..
Of course, the contestants didn't come for nothing. The winner of this project will get the ownership of $2 million "Hell's Kitchen" and the opportunity to run a restaurant with Gordon Ramsey. It is very tempting.
According to Nielsen's viewing statistics, Hell's Kitchen can still be watched by more than 6 million viewers in each issue, and it is the most popular night program for viewers aged 18-49. Even Mike Daniel, president of Fox TV, said cheerfully: There are many reality shows of the same type, but none of them are successful. Hell's Kitchen is an exception.
The popularity of "Hell's Kitchen" completely unveiled the audience's exploration of chefs, and the program itself allowed the audience to see the transformation of the players with their own eyes. Specifically, it first explains how the chef makes it, and then it talks about how the food has changed.
Since other restaurants can also make money by playing "Hell's Kitchen", it shows that this program is undoubtedly successful, and the public is willing to pay for "Hell's Kitchen". In fact, it also illustrates a truth: there are buyers first, and then there are audiences.
Shanghai ICS TV station has broadcast the ninth season, and the United States has released the twelfth season.
Hosting TV programs not only brought Ramsey a lot of money, but also made him famous. But Ramsey admits that he doesn't enjoy the feeling of being famous, and he doesn't like being called a "celebrity" by others, and he doesn't allow his children to watch his TV programs in life.
He thinks he just happened to be a TV host, a job or a chef. Over the years, he has been working hard and struggling to start a business. Being called a celebrity made him feel that his struggle was worthless.
"Some people entered the public eye because of the reality show Big Brother, and their photos appeared in entertainment magazines and became famous in one fell swoop. But why compare me with them? Before hosting TV programs, I was a diligent cook. On TV, my role is still the same, "Ramsey said.
