Hearing that Zhang Dachuan did not contact Xu Fan, Li Ruyue immediately showed an expression of disbelief:
"You didn't contact Xu Fan?"
Zhang Dachuan was a little strange:
"What's wrong?"
Li Ruyue took a deep look at Zhang Dachuan and asked meaningfully:
"Then do you know what Xu Fan does?"
Zhang Dachuan shook his head:
"I don't know. We were in such a hurry last time that I didn't have time to ask."
Li Ruyue understood, and then said mysteriously:
"I went to a party with the leaders of the station before, the kind where you can meet a lot of big shots...and then I found out that Chen Fan was also there."
Seeing that Zhang Dachuan was unmoved, Li Ruyue had no choice but to continue:
"And I found that the big shots in the city were a bit polite when talking to Xu Fan. His current status may be unusual!"
After Zhang Dachuan heard this, he looked surprised, and then said happily:
"Is this kid doing so well now?"
Li Ruyue nodded, but found that Zhang Dachuan had no other reaction after he was happy, which became even more strange. She couldn't help but ask:
"You two have such a good relationship, don't you even know what his current job and identity are?"
Zhang Dachuan laughed:
"That's why we have a good relationship. I don't care what job or status he has. Even if he is a beggar on the street, he is still my brother!"
He only made friends based on his temperament and temperament. Xu Fan's temperament with him was that he was considered a brother before he graduated from college. As for his current identity and how he is doing in life, it doesn't matter to Zhang Dachuan at all.
Li Ruyue was a little embarrassed:
"It seems I'm superficial."
Considering the occasion, the two did not continue chatting in depth. Then Li Ruyue looked at the time and took Zhang Dachuan and Jiang Wantong into the TV station building and went to the studio for the MasterChef competition.
On the way, Li Ruyue introduced the schedule and rules of the Master of Kitchen Competition to the two.
The MasterChef Competition is divided into three stages.
The first stage is the audition stage, in which fifty people will be selected from the contestants who signed up.
The second stage is the knockout stage. Fifty people selected from the audition compete with the seed players recommended by major hotels in Bailong City, using a last-place elimination system.
The games simultaneously broadcast on Bailong TV Station started from the second round of knockout rounds.
As the chef of Mingyue Hotel, Jiang Wantong was directly judged as a seed contestant after signing up. She did not need to participate in the audition, but directly entered the second round of elimination.
The first round of auditions ended the day before yesterday.
Therefore, Jiang Wantong came to the TV station today to participate in the knockout round.
Before entering the studio, Li Ruyue finally said to Jiang Wantong:
"Fifty auditions, 28 contestants recommended by major hotels, and 78 contestants in total participating in the knockout rounds."
"In the end, only ten people can successfully advance to the third round of the finals, so Sister Wantong, you still can't take it lightly."
Jiang Wantong nodded heavily, then took a deep breath and followed Li Ruyue into the studio to prepare for the game.
She put on her chef uniform backstage, with Mingyue Hotel written on her chest and armbands, and her entry number was No. 16.
Zhang Dachuan walked towards the audience silently.
After about half an hour of preparation and waiting, with the "start" from the director team, the live broadcast of the knockout round of the MasterChef Competition officially began.
Amidst the sound of music, Li Ruyue in a red dress and Zhao Mingyu in suits and ties both appeared on the stage.
The combination of handsome men and beautiful women immediately attracted warm applause.
Li Ruyue, who is in working mode, is very professional and talks eloquently in front of the camera:
"Dear viewers in front of the TV, computers, and mobile phones, you are now watching the first 'Jiuding Cup' Master of Cooking Competition sponsored by Jiudingxuan. This is the live broadcast of the second phase of the knockout rounds. I am the host Li Ruyue. .”
As a loser who relies on his father for his position, Zhao Mingyu basically belongs to the position of admiration. He has very few lines and poor camera sense. He only has a dull fake smile on his face:
"Hello everyone, I am the host Zhao Mingyu."
There was thunderous applause in the audience, and the atmosphere was well set off.
Li Ruyue smiled sweetly and continued:
"There are a total of seventy-eight contestants who have entered the knockout rounds. They will show off their unique skills here and give us a wonderful game. However, only ten people can advance in the end, which can be said to be very cruel."
"Today at the scene, we invited five guests to serve as judges for this competition. They are chef Liu Yong from a well-known hotel, Master Mao Lei, a master of Sichuan cuisine, Master Zhang Bangqun, a master of Shandong cuisine, Ms. Qiu Xiaoxiao, a food anchor, and well-known Mr. Hu Xianlin, the famous food connoisseur and special writer of the food magazine!”
Following Li Ruyue's introduction, the five judges stood up together, and the director team immediately gave them a spotlight and a separate shot, accompanied by thunderous applause.
In the auditorium below, people had a mediocre response to the first few people, but when they heard the name "Hu Xianlin", there was an uproar immediately, and the place immediately became noisy:
"Hu Xianlin? Hu Xianlin from "The Aesthetician"? It's actually him!"
"That Hu Xianlin who built a brand with one article? He was invited to this competition, so the gold content has skyrocketed."
"With Hu Xianlin here, this game will be fun to watch. At least some people who pretend to be fake will never escape his tongue."
"But I heard that he has a very venomous tongue. I hope no one will cry when he scolds him."
In the contestants' box on the stage, Jiang Wantong saw Hu Xianlin, who was specially spotlighted, and her eyes widened instantly with a look of shock on her face.
This was actually the balding middle-aged greasy man who had a conflict with them when they bought the car that day!
Jiang Wantong's face suddenly turned ugly.
If the other party recognizes her, he will definitely give her some shoes.
She, who was quite confident at first, immediately became nervous.
At the same time, Zhang Dachuan in the audience also frowned slightly and let out an imperceptible "tsk".
Unexpectedly, this person was actually a judge for this MasterChef competition. Jiang Wantong might not be able to get high scores in his hands.
However, such worries were swept away because Zhang Dachuan had full confidence in Jiang Wantong.
He believed that even if Hu Xianlin deliberately made things difficult for Jiang Wantong based on personal grudges, she would still be able to reach the finals with her strength!
After all, there were four other judges present, not just Hu Xianlin.
When the other four people all gave high scores, no matter how much Hu Xianlin hated Jiang Wantong, he could not give too low a score, otherwise it would be too obvious a black box operation.
Hu Xianlin should not be so stupid.
