Lu Mi and Zhao Jiajia looked at her in a daze, while Lin Feng opened her eyes wide, she could not help but want to slam the table, and said: "To sum up, what did you say, is it like this?"
Chu Yunmeng was very foolish as she said in an innocent tone, "Have I not finished telling you everything while we're on our way? I want to make a documentary about delicious food, and since you're the best candidate for being the head chef, I have come to invite you. In addition to our relationship, you won't reject me.
"How did it come to this?" It's a good idea to introduce us to the foreigners, but I'm curious why you want to do it and why? "Explain this clearly before you let me decide, OK?"
Lu Mi rubbed her temples and spoke from the perspective of a celebrity: "Like I said before, right now the documentary on delicious food is already on the tip of my tongue in China, and the two episodes of the broadcast have caused a huge reaction. It can be said to be the most successful documentary in the country, so you have to do the same thing.
In the country, there were not many documentaries that could be seen by the audience. They were not good in every aspect, no matter if it was in the way of filming or the theme of ideation, photography, etc., and so they were always ignored. A Bite of China broke this point.
With the Pearl Jade in front of him, surpassing the classics was still very difficult, and the spectators would definitely compare the two. Lu Mi's worry was also within reason, so Chu Yunmeng said: "So there are still so many things that I have yet to clarify, okay, I will slowly explain it to you guys."
There are two main reasons why I want to make such a documentary. First of all, although Chinese food can be said to be very popular around the world and is one of the three major cuisines in the world, foreign and domestic Chinese food are two entirely different concepts. If a Chinese goes to a foreign Chinese restaurant, he probably wouldn't even know that it's Chinese food.
Zhao Jiajia nodded and said, "I know a little about this because of the taste, habits, and so on. In fact, the Chinese foods abroad are all modified, and the taste is more local, but it's also because I have no other choice. The taste doesn't suit the local taste, so naturally there will be some differences."
Lin Feng thought for a while, then said: "This is unavoidable, it's nothing much, right? It's the same plate of fish-flavored shredded meat. What you eat in the imperial capital is absolutely different from what you eat in Chuan Shu. It's like this at home, not to mention overseas. "
She felt that it was understandable, so Chu Yunmeng said, "If that's the case, then that's also true. But if you think that the imperial city's fish-flavored shredded meat is the most authentic, then wouldn't that be a problem? So my idea is, no matter what the taste of the foreigners is, at least let them know what the real Chinese food is like. "
"This is one reason, and then there are my classmates who were studying in England. They are very interested, but they don't understand it at all, as many of my friends in Britain have also seen this documentary on A Bite of China. This documentary is indeed not bad, but it is not what they want."
Pausing to drink a mouthful of wine, she continued, "The tip of the tongue emphasizes on the humanities, especially in the second season. The humanities have almost completely suppressed the theme of delicious food, and they don't talk much about it, they only talk about it to show it, and what they want is a detailed introduction of delicious food. That's what I want to do for them."
"Therefore, there is no need to worry about the tip of the tongue. That is because from the very beginning, the intentions were different. Of course, it is not impossible to have humanities. It all depends on how our head chef wishes to introduce the delicacies. "Actually, even if I had the same intentions, I might not necessarily be better than A Bite of China. I have plenty of money, but I don't care about investing. I can use anything I want, but I'm afraid of others."
"You're not modest at all." Lin Feng rolled his eyes. In his impression, the real rich people all kept a low profile and never said how much money he had, but Chu Yunmeng was completely different. He never avoided saying that he had plenty of money.
Chu Yunmeng disapproved and said: "I'm done, continue."
"I've heard everything I want to know, so should I agree?" Lin Feng said as he looked at Lu Mi.
If he were to accept Chu Yunmeng's invitation, then he would have to follow this program. Even if he did not have the employment agreement, he was afraid that he would not have the time to see Lu Mi, Emma and the others, and they would also be busy, thus there would be fewer chances of meeting each other.
Chu Yunmeng was right, with the relationship between the two, there was no way Lin Feng could refuse it. Moreover, he owed Chu Yunmeng a favor, and adding that the matter was very meaningful, it looked like he shouldn't reject it. However, he still decided to listen to Lu Mi's suggestion.
"Yes, why not?" Lu Mi said, "In any case, you won't be able to keep me company forever so that you can be taken away by others together. It's better if you don't stay with anyone, and no one will suffer a loss." Lin Feng fell to the ground with a clang.
"Is that why you agreed?"
"This is an additional benefit. To make such a documentary, if you say that the higher class is the promotion of Chinese culture, then privately, it would be beneficial to you. Why not agree to it?" Lu Mi said as a matter of fact.
Lin Feng did not know much about the Chinese cuisine overseas as well. After all, he had never been abroad, but he had heard some introductions from various sources, many of the Chinese cuisines abroad might not be authentic, but they were completely different types of cuisine, not just in terms of taste, even the Chinese cuisine was different. For example, the most popular dish in the United States, Zuo Zong Tang Chicken, was something most people in the country did not even know, and it was something most people could definitely enjoy, but in the eyes of the Americans, this was a representation of Chinese cuisine.
Of course, one couldn't say that it wasn't a Chinese meal. After all, it was something created by the Chinese people, but it was completely different.
Chinese food was very popular now, it was a common occurrence in many movies, many foreigners would love to eat Chinese food, but if it was to be an authentic Chinese food, they would probably frown again. Thinking about it, Lin Feng felt that as a God Level private chef, it was very important for him to let foreigners have a taste of real Chinese food.
Lu Mi's opinion was that she should agree, so she asked in her heart: "System, what do you think?"
Although the culinary arts of the host are still of great interest to many people in the country, they are already well-known and have no success abroad. There is still a long way to go before one can become a personal chef of the Divine level here.
"That means you think you should agree."
Lin Feng nodded his head: "Alright, let's do it this way, then what exactly should I do?"
Chu Yunmeng poured wine for everyone and said: "Since you've agreed to it, of course I'm going to spend some money to invite the world's best team for filming documentaries. This will take a bit of time, so you can accompany whoever you need to greet and comfort.
