I've been too busy recently, so I didn't have time to revise it after I finished writing it. I'll revise it first for typos and wrong sentences. You can read it again tomorrow morning. I'm sorry.

"Mom, Dad, sister-in-law..."
After entering, the invited guests and actors all walked towards the seats with their names on them. At this time, Sisi said goodbye to her best friends for the time being and walked to the seats in the second row alone to meet her family.
Mother Liu reached out and smoothed Sisi's hair, her expression filled with relief.
As for why he invited his family members over, this is just a little selfishness of Zhong Yunqing.
After all, this was the first TV series that he and Sisi starred in that were really interesting. How could Zhong Yunqing not invite his father-in-law and mother-in-law to see what he had achieved.
He also used actions to tell the two elders of the Liu family that it was completely safe to leave Sisi to him!
However, although the elders were invited, the seats in the first row were reserved for several TV station bosses and a group of major actors.
The elders of the Liu family can only be seated behind him and Sisi. This is not disrespectful and also makes it easier to give them some simple explanations after the show starts.
At this time, I saw Teacher Liu and Sisi’s parents, Ying Bao and others also came over to say hello.
Zhong Yunqing also stayed with Director Han first, and briefly chatted with several TV station bosses to get acquainted with him. Then when he saw that the time was almost up, he politely invited them to take a seat.
Then, like Sisi, she walked to where the family members were:
"Uncle and aunt, Teacher Liu..."
The main reason why he called Sisi's sister-in-law "Teacher Liu" was because after all, he and Sisi were just in love and had not yet obtained the certificate.
Therefore, it is not convenient to call the other party sister-in-law at this time. "Teacher Liu" is considered to be quite satisfactory and people can't fault it.
But what Zhong Yunqing doesn't know is that his mother-in-law is becoming more and more satisfied with him.
Father Liu patted his shoulder with a pleased expression:
"Yun Qing, thank you for taking care of Sisi during this period. Otherwise, it would have taken years and months for this girl to achieve the results she has now."
"Mom, how could you do this!" Sisi on the side pouted unhappily when she heard her mother "belittle" herself like this.
Zhong Yunqing, who was possessed by a wife-protecting demon, gently held her shoulders and said to Liu's mother:
"Auntie, don't say that. I am her boyfriend and I should take good care of her..."
At this time, Liu Yan, who was dressed in standard formal host attire, came on stage. When everyone saw that the time was almost up, they all returned to their seats.
"Dear leaders, fellow actors, and all the audience friends invited to the scene, good afternoon. First of all, welcome to the premiere of "Chef Fang". I am the host Liu Yan..."
After the opening remarks of Bala Bala, Liu Yan sister fulfilled her duty to warm up the audience and then continued:
"... Now let's invite the main creators of this show to come on stage and share with us some of the highlights of this show and interesting things during the filming. Please..."
Amidst the warm applause of everyone, Zhong Yunqing greeted several main supporting actors to come on stage together. It is worth mentioning that several girls dressed in ancient costumes went to that station, which really attracted a lot of flashlights.
"Why don't you guys briefly introduce your respective roles in this drama?"
As soon as Liu Yan finished speaking, several staff members came up with several microphones.
At this time, the oldest person on the stage was He Zhengjun. So Liu Yan then continued:
"Why don't Teacher He come first? After all, you are playing the role of the prefect."
Lao He said "hmm", took the microphone handed over by Yan Ni next to him, nodded and said:
"Hello everyone, my name is He Zhengjun. In Chef Fang, I play the upright prefect Shen Yibo."
After saying that, he handed the topic back to Yan Ni. The other party took it and said:
"Hello everyone, my name is Yan Ni. I play the role of the prefect's wife who is both beautiful and wise."
Next is Yuan Hong. This kid is not well-known yet, but fortunately both Zhong Yunqing and Hu Ge are willing to take him to "play".
"Hello everyone, my name is Yuan Hong. In this drama, I play the role of Shen Jie, the personal master next to the prefect."
Thanks to Chef Fang, people had already known about the sweetness of this drama before it was adapted. It can also be seen from the novel that there is no real villain in this drama. With the proliferation of bloody novels and film and television dramas, At this time of disaster, Chef Fang can be said to be a breath of fresh air.
Therefore, this drama has already attracted much attention in the preparation stage. Especially those who wrote the original novel have maintained a high level of attention to the relatively popular characters in the Shen Mansion.
After Yuan Hong's introduction, several maids and female characters followed.
At this time Yingbao took the microphone
"Hello everyone, my name is Zhao Liying. I play Sisi's 'personal maid' Miao Shitou in this drama."
As soon as Ying Bao was introduced, her and Sisi's fans began to cheer. Because now the whole Internet knows that this cute girl who unexpectedly became famous thanks to the "Xue Shanshan" photo is good best friends with Sisi.
She originally had a cute little bun face. Now paired with a well-tailored ancient costume, she looks like a straight man harvester!
It can be said that Miao Shitou, played by Ying Bao, became a dark horse that attracted extremely fans from the beginning.
After Ying Bao is Zhang Jianing. The character Lian'er is actually not very outstanding, just average. But Zhang Jianing looks good in ancient costume! She stands quietly in ancient costume, which is so rare!
As several actors are introduced one by one, the actor's stills will be played on the big screen behind him according to each person's appearance, so that the audience can easily distinguish the plot characters. Let's make an intuitive comparison with the novel to imagine whether this actor is suitable for .
Not to mention, Zhong Yunqing's casting is quite reliable, although there is a lot of personal loyalty. But the facts prove that his vision is right, and every actor fits the character described in the novel.
After everyone introduced them, Zhong Yunqing and Sisi thought that everyone knew the male and female protagonists and there was no need to introduce them.
As a result, Zhong Yunqing skipped, and Sisi's true fans in the audience were unhappy.
"Where's Sisi? Why didn't Sisi introduce herself? Scumbag, you bullied Sisi again! With us here, you can't even think about cutting corners on Sisi!"
For these true fans, this is the first time they have such close contact with their favorite actress, so how could they not find various excuses to let her show her face more.
Well, since an introduction can get the crowd excited, Sisi had no choice but to look at Zhong Yunqing mischievously and then took the microphone handed over by Liu Yan.
"Let me explain, we are not trying to cut corners. I think I am the heroine, so I don't need to introduce myself. I want to save you some time..."
"Don't worry, we want to listen to you!"
Sisi's fans are so cute, which made many passers-by and a few people on stage want to snicker.
Sisi also smiled and responded helplessly:
"Okay then. Then I will use the most standard Mandarin to introduce the audience. After speaking, Sisi coughed lightly:
"Hello everyone, my name is Liu Sisi. The person next to me is the director and star of this drama, named Zhong Yunqing. Our two starring roles are Fang Yishao and Shen Yong... I hope everyone will like our TV series."
Then it’s time to enter a question-and-answer session.
"Director Zhong, I remember I watched your talk show before. You said you were going to direct a movie. How come it turned into a TV series?"
"That's right. When I was in the preparation stage, I didn't want to be too hasty. It happened that my new book was doing pretty well at this time. So I wanted to make a TV series adapted from my own work first to practice. It later proved to be true for me.
Because I did learn a lot of directing experience in the process of directing TV series, which came in handy when I was directing movies."
"Next, let me ask Sisi, do you think it would be easier to play a couple in a TV series with your boyfriend?"
"Well, that's really the case. Because we are lovers in the first place, many of the plots that need to be included in the drama are completely at your fingertips."
"For example, can you give me an example and explain it in detail?"
"For example, when I say 'Mr. Husband', I am a person who laughs easily, but whether I was filming a wedding scene or a couple scene with him, I didn't feel any pressure. Instead, I was very relaxed."
The time for this film viewing is quite tight, only two hours are arranged. And in order to prevent piracy, it is impossible to play it according to the series. We can only compress some high-quality clips into a coherent rhythm and edit them into a coherent one.
A short story to play.
However, Zhong Yunqing is still a thief. In the content he edited, the first three episodes have more plot.
After all, this is just like the three golden chapters in online novels. In fact, in terms of story alone, the plots of the first three episodes of Chef Fang are enough to attract attention.
For example, there is a cooking plot that runs throughout the film. There is a short scene of making breakfast at the beginning of the first episode; and then there is a segment of the rolling pin taming husband that shows the true temperament of the heroine, and there is also a scene at the beginning of the third episode.
Not to mention the indispensable dog-food plot, which has maintained a high frequency of sweetness since the second episode.
The first three episodes have all the routines that a sweet costume drama should have!
It's just that the premiere of a TV series is not the premiere of a movie after all. The time is limited, so we can only keep everything simple.
After a period of interactive interviews between the host and the actors, the on-site media also obtained a lot of news materials, and the plot began to be officially broadcast.
Looking at the title song "Cooking Love" on the subtitles, the lyrics, music and singing are all written by: Zhong Yunqing. Even based on previous sporadic reports, he is also the starring, screenwriter and even director of this drama!
There are so many titles in one drama, which really shocked the crowd at the scene. This guy is so versatile! Why don’t you go to heaven and work side by side with the same guy!
After the edited opening song and subtitles ended, before the audience could continue to complain, the main film began.
The plot begins with a shot of Dongxiang Mansion from far to near, representing the landscape of the prosperous ancient city.
There were no drones at this time, so Zhong Yunqing spent two full days using three crane robotic arms to take pictures of the entire Qingming Riverside Scenic Area to restore the prosperity of ancient times.
Now it seems that this shot of only 20 seconds is not bad, and it immediately makes people have the slightest expectation to watch it.
Then the camera went to the city wall, where Fang Yishao, played by Sisi, was wearing a simple ancient costume of civilian coarse cloth and setting up a stall to cook chaos.
However, unlike the Menlo Keqiao in other stores, the long queue in front of the stall also indicates that this young girl's craftsmanship is very good.
Then there was a burst of Sisi's original voice singing a cappella. Zhong Yunqing did not find a dub for this drama. He felt that Sisi's original voice was quite good and there was no need to dub it.
Originally sung in a short wonton tune, an old man asked: "Girl, what's your name?"
"My name is Fang Yishao..."
"Fang Yishao? How come a girl has such an unpleasant name?"
Sisi smiled: "I think it's pretty good! One spoonful, no more, no less, one spoonful is just right..."
Less than five minutes into the broadcast, there were some whispers in the audience:
"This is a pretty good start."
"Yeah, I didn't expect Director Zhong to be so popular. This sounds like Sisi's original voice. How dare you play it! But let's not talk about it, Sisi's voice is quite nice when you listen to it slowly..."
After a while, the whispers not only did not stop, but there were also some exclamations.
Because Mr. Fang, played by Uncle Da, appeared on the stage.
"Oh my god? This drama actually has Uncle Da..."
When Uncle Tat appeared, there was a burst of whispers in the audience. After all, this old man and Mr. Xing are the memories of two entire generations.
And in the previous promotion of the cast, it was indeed not said that Uncle Da would participate.
By the way, speaking of this, Zhong Yunqing also contacted Uncle Da and Jiang Bao. However, they both had other scenes to film in Hong Kong. They really couldn't spare their time, so they could only regretfully miss the premiere.
Then came the first Xiao Gao Chao. Zhong Yunqing said he was going to visit Piaoxiang Courtyard, and then Sisi beat him violently with a rolling pin for the first time.
The restoration of this plot immediately aroused extreme comfort among the book fans at the scene. Nothing has been changed.
And because a real rolling pin was used in the filming, Sisi also got into the scene and beat her up, which was really interesting to watch.
In terms of the conscientiousness of this drama, as well as the good looks of several girls in period costumes, it is completely comparable to the hit "Wrong Sedan and Marry the Right Man".
For the representatives of various TV stations, laymen are watching the excitement but insiders are watching the door.
Putting aside everything else, just because Sisi is willing to show up with a rotten cabbage and such a hard-working young actress as the heroine, this drama will be great.
After the movie viewing session in the afternoon, in the evening, people began to strongly comment on this drama in various forums on Tieba.
"I went to watch it live, and I can responsibly say that this show is really delicious."
"Our family Shishi is really suitable for ancient costumes! After watching the trailer, a sensible person like me wants to have a duel with Zhong Yunqing! She is really a treasure girl!"
"I seriously agree with you upstairs! Zhong Yunqing, the hatred of seizing your wife is irreconcilable!"
"The hatred of seizing my wife! Irreconcilable!"
…………
Different from the random comments on the Internet, the positive comments from the media that day were very high.
"Only the first three episodes have already shown the prototype of a hit drama. Zhong Yunqing's transition to director seems to be going smoothly. It is said that his movie will be released after the year, let's wait and see."
