It can only be said that Teacher Huang Lei's figure at this stage perfectly fits the theme of "Street Food".
He had just finished filming a TV series, which required a middle-aged man with a big belly, a slightly greasy appearance, and a somewhat chubby appearance. In Su Yan's opinion, the credibility of the food introduction was much higher.
After the program crew started filming the first episode in Yangcheng, they were immediately discovered by enthusiastic netizens, who took photos and posted them online.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time. It's so hard to wait for you."
""Street Food" has actually come to my Dayang City. Mr. Su is not afraid of becoming a dish. We love Minjiang people the most."
"When Teacher Huang was eating dim sum, he was surrounded by more than a hundred diners, which made me laugh to death."
"The filming location is near my home, but it's a pity that I didn't see it."
"Has the Good Food Guide finally filmed its second season? I'm really looking forward to it."
"Teacher Huang can indeed eat it!"
Regarding the enthusiastic response online, both Qinghe and Minjiang are very happy. "Street Food" is not a new program, and it does not need to be kept secret. It is helping to promote it.
It is quite difficult for a program to be so popular even after several years have passed.
There are actually many limitations to photographing food.
For example, when it comes to taste, the things you present don’t necessarily taste delicious to everyone, because that’s impossible, but they must at least be distinctive and satisfy the tastes of most people, and most importantly, they must not be repeated.
There are many Chinese food programs, and it is most difficult to make something different. Minjiang spent a lot of time preparing in the early stage.
In addition, the host is only Teacher Huang, so the progress will be slower.
He is not really like the big eater on TV who can eat more than a dozen hamburgers in one meal. He just has a slightly better appetite than ordinary people, knows more about cooking, and behaves more vividly.
If people are full and have delicacies in front of them, their interest will be much less, and their expressions, movements, and eyes will be different from before they are empty.
Although Huang Lei did not eat all the food, it still had an impact.
This time, we prepared a lot of meals and snacks, so we stayed in Yangcheng for four days to shoot the first episode.
At the second stop, the program team moved to Chongqing. It happened to be during the summer vacation. Sun Li brought her children over. The family reunited and it also became a trip.
Heating with heat has become the theme of this issue. As the four traditional Chinese stoves, Chongqing is well-deserved. Temperatures in the 30s are very common, but hot pot restaurant business is still booming.
The heat and spicy food are things that many people may not be able to accept in their lifetime, but for the locals, it is a pleasure.
After eating the numbing and spicy hot pot, you can have a bowl of ice-cold sour plum soup afterward. It is simply a pleasure.
Huang Lei prides himself on being quite good at eating spicy food, but when he gets here, he still has to talk to the chef in the store in advance and be a little more merciful.
Naturally, don’t be spicy, you can’t say this.
Otherwise the cook will throw the pot to you: Don’t want it spicy? You don’t know how to cook it, so you can do it yourself.
The same three days later, I came to Chengdu again. This was my second visit to this place rated as a gourmet city by Michelin.
There is no way, there are so many delicious things, there is no way to introduce them all in the first season.
But there has been a change. In addition to delicious food, I definitely want to see the giant pandas.
Nowadays, many of Qinghe's variety shows are broadcast abroad. Travel and food are inseparable, so they must be shown.
Sister Li is a special guest in this issue. The two visited the Panda Park together, tasted the snacks hidden in the streets and alleys, sprinkled a handful of dog food, and also interpreted the taste of the food from another perspective.
The filming never stopped, and the cities were spinning continuously. The staff worked hard, and Su Yan was no exception.
We have to start preparing at dawn every day, moving machines, finding locations, maintaining order, etc.
There are many emergencies. Huang Lei is so well-known that when he shows up on the road, he will immediately attract onlookers. I contacted the local department before filming, but sometimes there are too many. Not only can the program not continue normally, but an accident may even occur.
Due to the danger, Su Yan could only relocate temporarily or postpone it.
Of course, this is not a bad thing, it is indirect propaganda.
As for the staff, they have not had enough rest, so they must eat well. In addition to business trip subsidies, it is basically where Huang Lei eats, and the same applies to everyone.
During this time, Ah Cha sister also followed the show crew, complaining about gaining a few pounds and clamoring to lose weight, but when the food came, she forgot what she said.
The fourth stop came to Hangzhou, which is also the hometown of Guo Hangyu. The handsome guy took half a day off to help with the filming.
Originally, Su Yan planned to shoot the scene near the West Lake.
but...
There are just too many people.
We could only move to the riverside, and the whole thing was done according to MV standards.
The rest of the program team also laughed out loud because of Su Yan's idea.
The handsome classmate Xiao Guo was riding a bicycle and walking slowly along the river. The breeze blew by and picked up his hair. He didn't know what he thought of, and a smile appeared on his face.
When we arrived at a small pier, we stopped the car and prepared to rest.
He held a can of Kuola in his hand, ready to drink it like a commercial.
"Zizzizi..."
From the side, there was the sound of the drink having reached the bottom but still trying to drink.
Guo Hangyu felt different for a moment and turned around.
The camera zoomed out a bit.
Huang Lei had a big belly, the same Coke in his hand, and a habit in his mouth. Seeing the other party looking at him, he smiled friendly and nodded.
Classmate Xiao Guo turned around slightly embarrassed, with a complicated expression.
But Teacher Huang didn't care at all and even burped.
The entire scene lasted about 40 seconds and took more than half an hour to shoot.
There are two main troubles encountered.
I don’t know what happened today. There was no wind. In the end, I had no choice but to bring a fan over and give a close-up.
In fact, the bicycle was supported by two staff members and moved forward slowly.
Next, there was Guo Hangyu’s disgusted expression.
For an actor, it is quite simple.
But Huang Lei's expression was so funny, and the overall atmosphere was not filming, so it was relatively relaxed, and Xiao Guo laughed out loud several times.
Su Yan didn't rush him, he just treated it as an adjustment to let everyone relax.
Guo Hangyu also showed loyalty. After filming, he didn't even eat anything, so he got in the car and rushed back to Hengdian to continue filming.
The West Lake Broken Bridge, Leifeng Pagoda, and wetlands are all beautiful places.
Longjing shrimp, West Lake vinegar fish, Dongpo pork, all kinds of delicacies,
Not only was it a joy to eat, but it was also a feast for the eyes.
Next, we went to Xi’an, the capital of pasta.
The Bingfeng in the "Sanqin Set Meal" is one of the few carbonated drinks that can beat Pepsi and Coca-Cola in big cities. Su Yan doesn't like eating pasta very much, but the mutton steamed buns make him full of praise.
But Huang Lei is like a fish in water and enjoys eating.
After changing the strategy, the shooting time was extended a lot. It took a month and a half from start to finish.
The program team explored twelve cities and recorded hundreds of delicacies. It was completed in mid-September. This is not the end yet. It will take a lot of time to add content in the future.
For example, searching for the origin of ingredients and the production process are also an indispensable part of the program, and will be re-filmed by the director of Minjiang Satellite TV.
After Su Yan went back to rest for two days, he rushed to Changsha.
"The Birth of a Family" has been postponed for a few days and we can't wait any longer.
