I really don't want high ratings for my documentaries!

Chapter 13 Grilled Eggplant

A plan made Xu Wen gain a firm foothold in the documentary team.

Treating Xu Wen with many people is also much more enthusiastic.

On the same day, the two colleagues who had been assigned by him to look for barbecue restaurants provided him with two local barbecue restaurants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Xu Wen immediately decided to take the two of them to eat.

at dusk
Xu Wen led the team to a street in the LC district of Hangzhou City.

Surrounded by residential buildings, the people who come and go are grandparents with grandchildren, a little less energetic, but a little more cordial.

Looking at a barbecue stall with "grilled eggplant" hanging not far away, Xu Wen asked about the plan.

"Is it this family?"

"Yes, this is a restaurant recommended to us by our friends. Basically, only local people know about it. Although this barbecue is called grilled eggplant, it is said that the signature is roast beef."

The planner nodded and said.

Hearing this, Xu Wen looked at the barbecue booth full of seats, and then walked over.

"Look and sit by yourself, order what you want to eat"

The fat boss quickly brought over a menu, and after handing it to Xu Wen, he hurried away to prepare the ingredients.

There is no service at all in small shops in the market. It is enough to say hello to you. If you come to this kind of shop, you don't need too much service. What you eat is the taste.

A group of people sat on their seats and quickly ordered all the signboards.

As a major documentary director in his previous life, Xu Wen also made many food documentaries. These food documentaries made his mouth drool. Without the ability to represent the situation in the documentary.

Soon, the boss came up with all kinds of skewers.

Looking at the greasy beef skewers, Xu Wen picked them up and ate a skewer.

a word came out of my heart
Can!
The beef kebabs in this restaurant taste really good. Different from the traditional beef kebabs on the market, the spices do not wash out the meaty taste of the beef, but the beef is tender just right.

Tried several other barbecue skewers, but found that the taste was not particularly outstanding.

"I'm sorry, Director Xu, my friend told me that their beef is delicious, but I didn't expect that their other skewers taste so mediocre."

The planner introduced earlier told me a little embarrassedly.

Xu Wen waved his hand.

"Tell me about the situation of the store you found out first."

"Oh, this store has been in business for more than [-] years. The boss was not the fat boss at the beginning, but his father. Others called his father Dapang and Xiaopang. Most of the time, Xiaopang looks after the store. Occasionally, Fatty will come over, and many people grew up from snacks.”

The planner quickly reported what he learned about the situation to Xu Wen.

Xu Wen nodded.

"It's impossible for a barbecue restaurant to be delicious in everything. It's good to have one or two signs. What we want to do is skewers + human touch. You just said that it has been open for 20 years, and the surroundings are from small to large. This is the human touch, the taste in memory, it has not changed when you grow up, only beef is delicious, then we will shoot beef, the focus is on the combination of skewers and memory taste.”

Xu Wen shared his ideas with the team members.

The surrounding people nodded repeatedly.

I also secretly smacked my tongue in my heart.

Xu Wen is very experienced in coordinating and selecting merchants.

Each store has a theme.

This makes the team members feel that they are not working on a project with someone who has just crossed over.

Instead, work with a senior director on a project.

Has Xu Wen really never made a documentary before?

Why are so many things easy to understand?
Does everything you say make sense?

"This one's "roasted eggplant" is listed on the list, the public relations go to communicate with the boss, and follow this way to find the store behind, let's go to the next one."

Xu Wen said quickly, and the accountant quickly settled the bill.

Some of the group stayed behind to communicate with the boss, while the rest went to the second barbecue restaurant.

By the time I got back from work, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening.

Xu Wen went up the stairs and was about to open the door.

"Tsk tsk tsk, eat so many high-calorie foods at night, you won't be afraid of gaining weight."

Xu Wen turned his head and saw that Hu Xiaoqing was wearing pajamas with colorful paint on his face. At first glance, he thought he had been poisoned.

"Why didn't you sleep?"

Xu Wen said with a smile.

Hu Xiaoqing put her hands on her hips.

"I sent you a message! I asked you if you would come back to make dinner, but you didn't reply to me, so you went to have a barbecue by yourself!"

"I was busy just now, sorry"

Xu Wen scratched his head in embarrassment.

Hu Xiaoqing made a "cut".

"You have a skewer in your hand and tell me you're busy? Do you think I'll believe it? Are you busy eating?"

"Yeah, I'm preparing to shoot a documentary about food"

Xu Wen opened the door with a smile and walked in.

Hu Xiaoqing walked in after her, and now she regards this place as her home more and more.

"You? Make a documentary? Don't be ridiculous. How long have you joined the documentary team? Even if you're on a rocket, it's impossible to do it so fast. How could they let you start directing so quickly?"

While talking, Hu Xiaoqing unpacked the barbecue takeaway that Xu Wen put on the table.

He didn't want to waste the unfinished skewers because he visited two barbecue restaurants before, so he packed them and brought them back.

At present, the first one has been set for shooting, but the second one has been abandoned. The taste is average, and the boss is very philistine.

"Hmm! This beef skewer is delicious!"

Hu Xiaoqing's eyes lit up when she looked at the beef skewers in her hand.

Xu Wen smiled.

"Don't you want to beautify yourself? Do you still eat such high-calorie food?"

"I'm trying to beautify my skin while satisfying my appetite"

Hu Xiaoqing said cheerfully.

Xu Wen picked up the takeaway tapes on the table and stuffed them all into Hu Xiaoqing's hands.

"If you like to eat, take it all"

"Really? You can't go back on your word"

Hu Xiaoqing's eyes lit up.

Xu Wen smiled.

"No regrets!"

Hu Xiaoqing chuckled, and ran out of Xu Wen's house with her belt.

Seeing Xu Wen straight smile.

The next day
Xu Wen came to the unit and checked with the team about the upcoming itinerary.

From now on, during the daytime, the team members will start shooting barbecue restaurants, and at night, they will search for barbecue skewers all over the world.

After checking the itinerary, Xu Wen knocked on Yu Guangguang's door.

"Team leader, are you busy?"

"what happened?"

Yu Guangguang put down the pen in his hand and looked at Xu Wen.

Xu Wen said with a smile.

"It's like this. I used to have a familiar photographer in the life column group. I partnered with him very well. Now that he has gone to Jingshi, I wondered if I could use the name of the station to second him. Wait until the end of filming and go back?"
