When this season of "Chinese Restaurant" first aired, I wanted to talk about it, but after watching the first episode, I couldn't see the reason, so I kept thinking about these before talking about it. I didn't expect that it would be waiting for you when it starts airing.
more than half.
There are no changes in the overall structure of the new season of the variety show. The key steps are still that the stars open restaurants to cook meals - invite their families to dine - and all proceeds are used for charity; the operating model also remains the same, even though they have returned to land from the luxury cruise ship, it is still
Operates in a liquid manner.
The first station is Changsha City. After three days of operation, it will go to the next destination to carry out new operations. The dishes will also change to a certain extent according to the operation location.
The main guest lineup is still Feng Shaofeng, except for the host. The whole staff has changed drastically, including Anping, who successfully entered the show circle with "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves", Zhou Ye, the flower sent by Hesong,
Na Cang, who became popular in short videos, and Yao Anna, the second princess of Huawei, who disappeared immediately after her famous debut.
I have to admit that this lineup looks perfect at first glance~ It not only preserves the space for "selfishness", but also takes into account the age of the audience and the topic of the show, but in fact the show has the highest
The biggest drawback also comes from the lineup of special guests - the special guests are basically average novices in cooking skills, and the most knowledgeable ones are only at the entry-level level (Gong Jun, the only one who can cook, may be a flying guest).
It’s not that it’s not easy in general, it’s the kind of thing where it’s hard to pat a loofah, hard to boil white rice, or fry eggs and tomatoes.
In a restaurant variety show, none of the guests can cook - if it weren't for this season of "Chinese Restaurant", everyone might think it was a joke.
In order to better enable the theme of "Chinese Restaurant" to be established despite the ability of such special guests, the column team also worked hard to basically cancel the customer solicitation stage of understanding the local culture and customs, and replaced
Teaching process.
Most of the content of the first variety show is just classroom teaching, but don’t think about it too complicated. It probably takes less than a few days for the program team to find a few master chefs from famous local restaurants to help the guests.
Studying quickly is basically equivalent to going to the exam without studying.
Customers who may pay to dine may feel fine, but from the perspective of a variety show audience, "Chinese Restaurant" has become more and more scary, getting more and more out of touch with the reality of opening a restaurant, and going to "let ordinary people
The road of "paying money to play house with big-name celebrities" is getting further and further away.
It must be admitted that "Chinese Restaurant" has been adjusting over the years, especially in the kitchen. Almost every season, there are good reviews of the previous season to make changes, in order to achieve faster results.
actual effect.
However, the effect of this modification is not ideal. Starting from the second quarter, the score dropped further and further.
So far, it has gone from the original 6 points to less than 5 points.
This is not because the audience is always nitpicking, but the column team always tries to find an impossible balance between laziness and effectiveness during the change process.
At the beginning of the third season, in order to solve the problem of "the invited guests are not professional in cooking and cannot represent the local culture", the program team directly found a professional chef, which not only caused a chef pursuit
The difference between the quality of perfect raw materials and the pursuit of perfect expenses by accountants was ridiculed for laziness, so it was simply renamed "Chinese Waiter"; in the fourth season, in order to better prevent being scolded for being lazy, the column team found Tan Ershi and Lin Shuwei as companions.
Finally, we managed to find a balance with the kitchen issues, but the editor started to play tricks on the customers again. In order to save money for the guests, we immediately changed the reservation system, and the food was served without leaving any mistakes;
In the fifth season, the program team once again worked hard on the kitchen, invited professional chefs to teach, and returned the performance stage to the special guests.
However, what time is made of is time on the surface. When the camera shoots the BGM and matches it, it seems to many people how difficult it is. In fact?
I only learned how to cook for two days, but I can’t even hold a knife unsteadily, so I need to open a physical store, and let customers spend their own money to serve as guinea pigs. People who have studied cooking for two years and are still working as handymen may be mad at this.
From the duel between Qin Hailu and Lin Shuwei in the third season, to the fourth season where Ying Bao doesn't understand dining etiquette, to the current arrangement of special guests who do not care about professional skills but only seek to discuss topics.
Today's "Chinese Restaurant" has opened Pandora's box just like the original "Singer". After discovering a channel that is easier to attract attention than simply cooking, he gradually got lost in it and forgot about it.
My original intention.
"Chinese Restaurant" ran for five seasons, and we reviewed whether there were five or three seasons. We are tired of citing examples of success - the ideas are all copied from neighbors, so how can we not copy the steps?
Nothing is easy for you, but you can learn it earlier and longer. As long as you are really serious and don’t do 3D rendering, the audience can feel your seriousness; you can create some topics for attention, but
Instead of figuring out the order, you want to promote food culture, not force fans to fight. If you shoot good food, the traffic will naturally come. Have you forgotten that netizens flocked to mark Master Tan’s recipes in the first season?
?
All in all, as long as you are serious about it, it’s not too difficult to take pictures!
