Chapter 150 You have to lead the program yourself
Yue Ning was resting in the room. She heard a knock on the door and opened it. Shen Wenqi and the makeup artist were standing at the door.
"Ms. Yue, put on your makeup. Let's get ready to go eat teppanyaki." Shen Wenqi, who had been frowning just now, regained her energy.
"Come in!"
Yue Ning went in to change clothes first. Teppanyaki is a delicacy that can be both popular and high-end. A piece of iron plate frying a few pieces of tofu on the street is teppanyaki, and the other is called art on the iron plate by the Japanese. Today's dinner plan is to eat at such a restaurant.
High-end Japanese food can be sold at such a high price. The reason is that the time when Japanese food was promoted to the world happened to be this era, when Japan's national strength was at its peak. Another reason is that high-end Japanese food has evolved for thousands of years based on the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, and in modern times it has been working hard to learn French cuisine, which is very high-end.
In order to have such a meal, the makeup artist prepared a blue-gray off-shoulder dress for Yue Ning, and Yue Ning changed into it and sat down.
The makeup artist plugged in the curling iron and took out a Japanese magazine to show Yue Ning. It showed a popular Japanese actress' short hair style, which was also a popular hairstyle in Japan at the moment: "Ms. Yue, do you think this is okay?"
"Okay!" Yue Ning had no objection. She asked Shen Wenqi, "Have you discussed it?"
Shen Wenqi nodded her head vigorously and said, "Yes! Miss Yue, you are really amazing. I found a colleague in charge of advertising and asked him to contact the marketing department of PN Hong Kong City. Within half an hour, the TV station called us to apologize. Are they so afraid that you will not shoot this program?"
"They are afraid that Mr. Qiao will not shoot this program. In everyone's mind, Japanese products are not as good as German products. Japanese-made cars have occupied the streets and alleys of Hong Kong, but the rich will still buy European cars. This is a problem of product positioning in people's minds. The group our program is facing is the Chinese group, not just the five million people in Hong Kong, but also Chinese in Taiwan, Macau, Singapore, Malaysia and other places. These places are getting rich and have high consumption power. The performance of their camera is not bad, but the bad thing is that in the public's perception, Japanese products are not as high-end as German products. What do you think will happen if the young master of the Qiao family takes a photo with such a camera at this time?" Yue Ning asked.
"The young master of the Qiao family has used it! It must be good!" said Shen Wenqi.
Yue Ning laughed, "Yes! There is still a real demand for Japanese goods today, saving them from the stereotype of cheap but poor quality in the 1950s and 1960s. And Mr. Qiao doesn't lack this advertising fee. In normal times, even if Cai Zhiyuan begged him, he would not ask for a commercial. This kind of opportunity is hard to come by, how can he let it go?"
"I thought so too, but I didn't expect the TV station to react so quickly." Shen Wenqi shrugged.
"PN is a big conglomerate. Look at how they spend a lot of money on HTV. They are also the biggest sponsor of TS. Who can resist money?" Yue Ning reached out and picked up the business card on the table, handed it to the makeup artist and said, "Miss Ji, I need to trouble you for something."
"Me?" Miss Ji took the business card.
"Well, could you please help me go to this store to try their Okonomiyaki and see how full their store is? And bring me a takeaway so I can taste it." Yue Ning told her, "I'll cook a meal myself when I get back to Hong Kong. Thank you."
"No, no." Miss Ji shook her head quickly. "I have to go out to find a meal anyway. It doesn't matter where I go. How much face do I have to have to eat the meal you made?"
"No! We have been spending time together these days, so it's only right that we have a meal together." Yue Ning said to her.
Yue Ning looked at Shen Wenqi in the mirror: “Ms. Shen, go contact TS and tell them that I want to reshoot Okonomiyaki.”
Shen Wenqi shook her head: "They said there's no need to reshoot, just follow our version."
Yue Ning closed her eyes and let Miss Ji draw her eyeliner: "Now I want to reshoot, I don't want to promote that store."
"Ms. Yue, they just gave in. Isn't it not a good idea for us to do this?" Shen Wenqi asked.
"Are you angry when they are arrogant and bully you?" Yue Ning said.
"But how do you want to reshoot it? How do you want to reshoot it?" Shen Wenqi asked.
"Go to another place to shoot."
"Which one should we switch to?" Shen Wenqi asked.
"I want to change to this Zhonggu."
Shen Wenqi suddenly realized, and she said, "Why don't we wait until Miss Ji has eaten and see how their family is doing?"
"No, no matter if it's this one or not, we must replace the previous one. If we want to take the lead in the next filming process, we have to overwhelm them all at once."
Shen Wenqi nodded vigorously: "Okay, I'll make the contact."
Shen Wenqi opened the door and saw Qiao Junxian standing at the door. She called out, "Hello, Mr. Qiao!"
"Okay!" Qiao Junxian walked in.
He had changed into a suit and was standing behind Yue Ning.
Miss Ji had finished. She looked at Yue Ning in the mirror and said with regret: "Miss Yue's earlobes are so beautiful, why don't you get your ears pierced?"
Yue Ning waved her hand: "I'm afraid of pain."
"But didn't you fight a wolf for your life?" Miss Ji packed her makeup box.
Qiao Junxian looked at her earlobe carefully. How could he not notice it before? Such a plump earlobe is very cute. Qiao Junxian said: "The dog she raised is not afraid of wolves, but afraid of injections. When Dahei was vaccinated, he looked so pitiful!"
Miss Ji packed her makeup case and walked out, closing the door.
Qiao Junxian's fingers gently flicked Yue Ning's round and smooth earlobe.
With just such a light touch, Yue Ning felt as if he was pricked by something. His heartbeat quickened and he could feel his face getting hot.
Qiao Junxian seemed to have found something interesting, and this time he simply pinched her earlobe.
Yue Ning didn't know what happened to her. It was just a pinch on her ear. Wasn't it just like when she was a kid and got into trouble and her father twisted her ear? Why did Qiao Junxian pinch her and she felt like she was electrocuted? She was so angry that she asked, "Qiao Junxian, what are you doing?"
Qiao Junxian was simply curious about her ears at first, but later he discovered that pinching her earlobes would make her blush. He couldn't help but put his hand on Yue Ning's ears again: "Nothing, I just think Ningning's ears are so beautiful."
Hearing the knock on the door, Qiao Junxian let go of her ear and went to open the door. Shen Wenqi hurried in with an expression of asking for reward, but when she saw Yue Ning, she took a step back and glanced at Qiao Junxian again. She said, "Miss Yue, I'll come in later."
Yue Ning saw herself in the mirror, her face flushed, as if she was drunk. They were alone in a room, and they were a couple, so probably everyone thought they were up to no good.
She calmed down and smiled: "It's okay, just sit down!"
Shen Wenqi sat down and looked back and forth between the two of them, making it seem as if they were being very ambiguous.
Yue Ning was obviously upright and had nothing to fear, but now she felt guilty for no reason when she was stared at by her. She pushed Qiao Junxian closer and asked, "Have you contacted him?"
Shen Wenqi felt a sense of accomplishment: "Although they were very reluctant, they finally agreed."
"great!"
"Their car has arrived, we can set off." Shen Wenqi said.
"Let's go!" Yue Ning stood up, and Qiao Junxian picked up the long windbreaker on the hanger and spread it out.
Yue Ning put on a windbreaker, tied a belt, and set off with a handbag.
When the two arrived at the lobby, TS's contact person, Ms. Masako Nakajima, immediately ran over. This time she was more polite and bent down to invite them to get in the car.
"Ms. Yue, I'm sorry that you felt unwell at noon. I'd like to apologize to you here." After sitting down, Masako said to Yue Ning.
Yue Ning glanced at her coldly and said, "Everyone should just do their part."
"Yes!" Miss Masako replied with her head down.
Yue Ning remained silent on the way, completely different from her lively self at noon. However, when she got off the car and arrived at the door of the teppanyaki restaurant, she was smiling again: "If Kaiseki cuisine embodies the quiet beauty of Japanese food, then the hot form of teppanyaki embodies the passion of Japanese food. Teppanyaki is a kind of Western food in Japanese cuisine, which has been around since the Meiji Restoration..."
The shop owner at the door stood there listening to Masako Nakajima's translation, and HTV's own translator stood one step away from them, as if to monitor Masako Nakajima's translation.
After Yue Ning finished her introduction, the shop owner came over and greeted her: "Ms. Yue knows a lot about the history of teppanyaki."
"I have learned about the cuisines of several influential countries, and Japanese cuisine in particular. I have also tried to incorporate Japanese cuisine techniques into Chinese cuisine," Yue Ning said to the other party.
“Integrated into Chinese cuisine?”
"Yes! Last time, Mr. Ishikawa and others saw me making dashi with kelp and our local dried fish..." Yue Ning explained to him how I made the dashi.
This restaurant is also a very famous restaurant in Osaka. PN usually holds many business banquets here. Just now, someone from PN's marketing department called and said that their director asked him to entertain several guests from Hong Kong who came to take photos, and also said that these guests from Hong Kong are very picky.
After getting to know her, he didn't find her to be picky, but rather he found her to be very knowledgeable, though she seemed a little young for her age.
The boss took them to their seats, brought in Masako Nakajima, and asked her to change into chef's uniform.
The two men stood in front of the iron plate, and the boss bowed and said that he had been making teppanyaki for thirty years.
For the first appetizer, the boss used a spatula to open two fresh scallops, took out the scallop meat, put it on the iron plate, fried it with a little bit of oil for a few seconds, and quickly turned it over so that the juice of the scallops was firmly locked.
A sheet of seaweed was placed inside the scallop shell, and the scallops were placed on the seaweed. The boss opened two more sea urchins, took out the sea urchin roe, placed it on the scallops, and sprinkled a little mirin on it.
Yue Ning rolled up scallops and sea urchins with nori. When he put them in his mouth, the sea urchin was sweet, soft and delicate, while the scallops were smooth, tender and refreshing, with rich juice. There was only a little bit of mirin and nori flakes for seasoning, and he could fully enjoy the original flavor of the ingredients.
Yue Ning said hurriedly: "Delicious!"
