The "A Bite of China" program team.
This is a variety show that specializes in filming delicious food from all over the country.
Since its launch, the show has attracted a large number of foodies.
It became the most popular food program.
Over the years, they have basically filmed delicious food all over the country.
Now, after several years of filming, viewers seem to be getting tired of it, and the ratings are declining.
This made the show's director, Chen Sihe, very anxious.
If things continue like this, the investors will stop funding, making future filming difficult. Therefore, he now needs to create more impressive works to further boost viewership.
After seeing online that Kyoto University had won the competition, he started paying attention to its food and beverage offerings.
The food served in the cafeteria would normally be unfit for their program, as it falls far short in terms of taste, presentation, and cultural significance.
However, Chen Sihe knew very well that he knew Wang Dequan, who was a member of the rating team.
He knew that Wang Dequan was a person with a strong passion for food, and the fact that he could get a score higher than perfect meant that the food in the Kyoto University cafeteria was definitely extraordinary, even surpassing the local delicacies they had previously filmed.
So he immediately contacted Wang Dequan to ask him how the food was at the Kyoto University cafeteria.
Upon hearing Chen Sihe's question, Wang Dequan immediately became interested and recounted all his experiences during the review process.
As he spoke, he remembered that delicious Peking duck from Kyoto, but he hadn't had a chance to eat it yet because he had been busy these past few days.
So now, just mentioning it makes me crave food again.
In short, Wang Dequan's assessment can be summarized in one sentence: Kyoto University's roast duck is undoubtedly one of the best in the country.
With Wang Dequan's guarantee, Chen Sihe's confidence immediately increased.
For the past month or two, he has been struggling because he no longer knows where would be a suitable place to film.
As the show goes on for longer, viewers become more discerning.
Ordinary meals no longer hold any interest for them.
But since Wang Dequan said so, it means that the food at Kyoto University is far superior to that outside.
It's definitely worth going there to take photos.
Moreover, their production team's headquarters are in Kyoto, making it very convenient to film at Kyoto University; it only takes about half an hour by car.
With that in mind, he immediately made a phone call to the leadership team at Kyoto University.
To film, you must first get permission from the school leaders.
Of course, the cafeteria's approval is also required.
Both are indispensable.
Chen Sihe is a person who does not procrastinate. He will do what he wants to do right away. The school leaders all agreed to their filming in the cafeteria of Kyoto University, but they also needed the cafeteria owner Lu Rong's consent.
Afterwards, he contacted Lu Rong using the phone number provided by the school leaders.
When Lu Rong first saw the call from an unfamiliar number, he was reluctant to answer. However, after learning that it was from the organizers of the "A Bite of Kyoto" program who wanted to film there, he readily agreed.
With the promotion from the program team, the reputation of Kyoto University's cafeteria will spread even further throughout the country.
This is of great help, both to him personally and to enhancing the reputation of Kyoto University as a whole.
Of course, Lu Rong didn't plan to prepare anything for the filming crew. Everything would be fine as usual. After all, all his dishes were presentable, so there was no need to worry about any problems.
The production crew will be filming from the sidelines, and I and the staff in the canteen can go about our business as usual, so it will hardly affect our work.
Around 4 p.m., a Mercedes-Benz van pulled up in front of the Kyoto University cafeteria.
The words "[A Bite of Delicious Food Filming Team]" were clearly written on the outside of the car, which made many people stop and watch.
No matter when, things related to the show can always attract a lot of people's interest.
If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't mealtime yet and there weren't many students near the cafeteria, there would probably be many students gathered around to see what was going on.
"Isn't this the crew of the 'A Bite of China' program? What are they doing at our school?"
"Judging from this, they're probably going to film in the cafeteria."
"I never imagined that our Kyoto University cafeteria would have such a day. I usually only see it on TV, but now it's right in front of me. It feels so unreal."
"Senior Lu Rong is amazing. He keeps changing my perception of him."
"If that's the case, we'll be able to see the delicious food from our school cafeteria on TV soon."
"I'm so excited! I wonder which dish they'll be filming."
"I think it must be the grilled squid from a few days ago. The taste... was absolutely amazing."
"It's hard to say. The production team has to consider many factors when filming, and it may not necessarily be the grilled squid you mentioned."
"That's true. Besides, there are so many dishes in the cafeteria now, probably more than a hundred in total. There's simply no way to choose from them all."
...........
Upon seeing the production crew's car arrive, Lu Rong hurriedly went to greet it.
As soon as I stepped outside, I saw a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and baggy shorts.
He is about 50 years old.
Lu Rong had seen this person on TV before; he was undoubtedly Chen Sihe, the director of the "A Bite of China" program.
