Gu Yumian placed the sweet and sour pork ribs on a plate and sprinkled them with white sesame seeds and chopped green onions. He twisted his knife between his fingers and carved a radish rose to embellish the dish. The sweet and sour pork ribs were ready.
——The surface of the crispy spareribs under the light is a crystal red color, which is the result of the sweet and sour sauce made from rock sugar that has been fully absorbed into the ribs. They are neatly and exquisitely arranged on a white porcelain plate. Just by looking at them, you can imagine the crispy outside, tender inside, sweet and sour taste, not to mention the rich aroma that makes people salivate.
The little snow leopard appeared in the shot, but the director didn't say anything, so Gu Yumian continued.
Gu Yumian picked up the plate. The little snow leopard lowered its head to sniff, then pressed its paw against its forehead to show its satisfaction. Gu Yumian's eyes softened, and he picked up a chopstick and fed it:
"Be good, be careful of the heat, and remember to spit out the bones after eating them."
After a few seconds of deathly silence, the internal discussion group began to send out didi reminders frantically!
[Ragdoll Cat Will Never Be a Slave (Logistics): Ahh ...
Little Lulu (Photography Assistant): I hate holograms! You know that feeling of being able to see and smell but not eat? The camera was less than half a meter away from him and his food! TAT]
[Lan Lan (Logistics): Really... smells good... Did anyone hear my stomach growling? This is so embarrassing.]
[A Salted Fish (Prop): I was right next to Director Na just now, watching her about to call out "Cut," but the second the ribs came out of the pot, she shut up in amazement and slowly sat down, hahahahahahahahahaha!!]
Yuyu Likes Birds (Lighting): Huh? She's calling "Cut" after such a great result? Did Director Na bring some personal emotion into the mix? I think the results are truly unprecedented!!! And I have a feeling there's more excitement to come. Let's see how the cinematography handles it.
The sweet and sour pork ribs have been served, but the recording has not ended here.
The photography director was watching when a light bulb suddenly lit up in his head. He hurriedly said, "Switch the perspective. Don't shoot this scene from a bird's-eye view. Switch it to the cub's perspective!"
Director: “Huh?”
The photography director said, "Director Na, don't be confused! Listen to me here."
After saying that, the photography director almost grabbed the control device, popped up the light screen and started adjusting the parameters on the spot. The ultra-micro camera quickly moved to the snow leopard and the perspective began to switch.
The perspective switched quickly, two seconds later.
Director and Director of Photography: “!!!”
The two were about to argue about something, but the moment the words reached their lips, they suddenly disappeared.
——My vision is not clear yet, but the first thing I feel is the amazing feeling when the sweet and sour pork ribs enter my mouth.
The ribs were still slightly hot, but upon biting into them, they were surprisingly more tender and flavorful than I'd imagined. The succulent ribs, fried to perfection with the sweet and sour sauce, were evenly flavored, neither tough nor chewy. The sweet and sour sauce, made from natural rock sugar and rice vinegar, added a touch of brightness. Because the ribs were so light, I couldn't stop eating them, even wanting to lick the juices from the bones.
Although they didn't actually eat it and it was just a feeling simulated by data, the director and the director of photography still swallowed their saliva unconsciously.
If it were just this, it would be fine, but everything is not over yet.
Gu Yumian placed an empty glass in the container, and the kitchen system automatically poured a light honey solution into it. The light, warm honey water removed the sweetness, leaving behind a fragrant aroma. After savoring the crispy, mellow flavor of the sweet and sour spareribs, the honey water thoroughly washed away any remaining greasy residue, leaving a refreshing sensation from throat to stomach.
Gu Yumian held the little snow leopard gently in her arms, in a position that gave people a sense of security. The little snow leopard tilted its head back, squinted its eyes, and rubbed Gu Yumian's chin.
"Want to enjoy the sunset?" Gu Yumian scratched the little snow leopard's ear. "Hmm?"
The little snow leopard closed its eyes lazily and leaned a little closer into Gu Yumian's arms to show its consent.
The kitchen system then appropriately increased the transparency of the floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing the golden-red sunset to pour out without reservation. The feeling of lying in Gu Yumian's arms and basking in the sunset was so comfortable that it could relax all the tense nerves in the body.
Outside the tall buildings are the bustling lights of the city, and further away are the ocean and mountains that have stood for tens of millions of years. The sunset has not yet set, but the starry sky has already climbed to the corner of the horizon.
——The holographic device faithfully reflects all sensations one by one, and the sense of involvement of all onlookers is stronger than ever before.
Gu Yumian had a faint scent of sea salt and bamboo leaves on her body. The overly gentle touch of her palms brushing against her skin sent bursts of slight electric current through her blood vessels, and her body temperature and breath seeped in little by little with the embrace.
Being held like this, you can even hear his steady heartbeat, and all the restless, anxious and uneasy emotions calm down. Slowly, only a few sounds remain between heaven and earth.
The chirping of cicadas and the sunset, the tea on the stove and the evening breeze.
“…”
After a few seconds of silence, the internal discussion group of the advertising crew completely exploded!
Little Lulu (Photography Assistant): Ahh ...
[Lan Lan (Logistics): Even though I don't have a holographic device, I feel so peaceful just watching from the side...]
Anna (makeup): I seem to be in love again, but he's destined to be the man I can't have. What should I do?
[Yuyu Likes Birds (Lighting): I'd like to ask, does Director Na's face hurt?? That was really too much just now, hahahahaha. With the effect of this scene, if she had called cut just now, she would probably regret it for the rest of her life - damn, it makes me a little scared.]
[A Salted Fish (Props): I secretly took a picture of Director Na's expression [Picture]. You can see for yourself, her face looks blue, white, red, and purple. It seems like she's really confused and complicated inside 233333]
The director and the director of photography were both silent for a long time, and only then did they open their eyes wide in disbelief.
The person in charge of photography almost stood up with excitement by slamming the table, while the director was extremely confused, with a blank and dull expression - she had actually just been thrown into it, completely immersed in the atmosphere created by Gu Yumian.
If Gu Yumian's performance was just satisfactory at the beginning, the effect at this moment has far exceeded all of their expectations!
"But what does this have to do with the kitchen system?" the director slowly asked the last question.
Photographer: “Hmm…”
The filming was over at this time. Gu Yumian held the little snow leopard, thanked the staff and took the water handed to him. The last clip of the little snow leopard running over was actually a spur-of-the-moment idea. He thought about it and suggested:
"Why don't you reshoot a few scenes and let me become the 'system'?"
Director and person in charge: “……!!!”
The kitchen system is personified!
Gu Yumian in the advertisement is no longer an ordinary chef, but appears as a personification of the kitchen system.
The purpose of this kitchen system itself is to improve the quality of life. The advertisement will use the perspective of the little snow leopard as the main perspective, and Gu Yumian will take care of it as the "kitchen system", cooking a meal for it, giving it a cup of honey water, and holding it in his arms while watching the sunset in the breeze.
This idea itself is great and innovative, and now advertisements are interspersed in games and TV series, and most of the games and TV series are holographic. The holographic version can bring out the effect of this advertisement to the extreme...
Their keen sense of smell after years of working in this industry told them that this time, it was a sure thing!!
"Oh, I accidentally made a little too much sweet and sour pork ribs just now," Gu Yumian put the little snow leopard down and brought out a plate. The little snow leopard couldn't eat too much or too sweet food, so Gu Yumian made more on purpose. After all, everyone had worked so hard for so long, and he didn't have to work hard to cook.
"If you don't mind, everyone—"
Everyone: “!!!!!!”
Of course! Don’t mind!
Before Gu Yumian had finished speaking, nearly everyone rushed over, each one using their chopsticks to clean out the entire plate of sweet and sour pork ribs. Even the usually staid photography director was so eager to eat that his German Shepherd's ears were sticking out, a testament to how delicious it was.
The feeling of eating holographic data is different from eating it in real life. The director of photography ate beside the director and praised loudly:
"It's really delicious. This little anchor is so thoughtful. I'll follow him when I get home tonight... Wow, the sweet and sour sauce tastes amazing, and the spare ribs are so crispy."
Director: “…” Damn, she wants to eat too.
But remembering how she had just recently spoken harshly to Gu Yumian and how she had nearly gotten him stuck during filming—she had to admit that her personal emotions had indeed affected her work attitude. Perhaps it was a ghost that had possessed her, and now she felt ashamed and regretful, but fortunately she hadn't made a big mistake.
Because this ad had been bothering her for a long time, and something else happened at home, she had just picked someone from the list of anchors given by Starry Sky as a last resort, but she didn't expect it to be from the human race, the one she hated the most. With all these messed up things piling up, her mentality was broken. She hadn't taken it seriously from the beginning, and her explanation was just perfunctory and not detailed.
I don't know if anyone else noticed, but Gu Yumian must have noticed, but he didn't say anything at the time because he was concerned about the overall situation and the filming schedule. How could she have the nerve to shamelessly ask Gu Yumian for food now?
The director hadn't eaten for a long time and was extremely hungry. What's more, his colleagues around him were all eating, and the aroma kept wafting into his nose. Who could resist it?
Seeing that there was only one piece of pork ribs left on Gu Yumian's plate, the director finally couldn't help but walk over and asked in a low voice:
"Um, can you..."
The people around were still talking as usual, but their ears were perked up, and they were quietly paying attention to the movements here with the mentality of watching a good show.
Next second.
The little snow leopard, which had been dozing peacefully in Gu Yumian's arms, suddenly stretched and leaped over to the porcelain plate. It picked up the last piece of pork ribs and glanced at the director with a hint of mockery in its gray-blue eyes.
"The children at home are ignorant." Gu Yumian held the little snow leopard and squeezed its paws, but he didn't mean to blame her. He smiled apologetically, "Director Na, I'm sorry."
Gu Yumian knew that the little snow leopard wanted to help him vent his anger. Although it was impolite, he really couldn't bear to blame his own cub.
That’s right, it’s biased.
"...It's okay." The director became more and more frustrated, with a burning feeling on his face.
Now that they had finished eating the sweet and sour pork ribs, it would seem a bit stupid for her to just stand there like that.
She paused, turned around, took two steps, and then changed her mind.
"I apologize to you. I was wearing tinted glasses and deliberately targeting you before. I was wrong." She turned and walked in front of Gu Yumian, saying in a deep voice, "I'm sorry."
Everyone could hear the director's words, and the entire studio gradually became quiet.
Gu Yumian's gaze fell quietly on her face.
You can tell that she really regrets it and feels ashamed of her behavior.
Because they had finished eating the sweet and sour pork ribs, their cooperation was about to end and they would not have any contact in the future. If Director Na had not felt guilty, there was no need for her to slap herself in the face and apologize to Gu Yumian in front of so many subordinates.
She is not a bad person.
After a while, Gu Yumian's eyes and expression relaxed, and a small dimple appeared on his lips.
"It's okay." He said seriously.
An hour later.
After work, the director dragged her exhausted body out of the Galaxy Building and walked to the parking lot to get her hovercraft. She was so hungry that she was almost starving.
Just as she was about to start the hovercraft, a waiter hurried over and knocked on her window:
"Ma'am, a gentleman asked me to give this to you."
The director was stunned for a moment, with a premonition in her heart. After a moment, she opened the paper bag and saw -
Inside is a small box of sweet and sour spare ribs, which are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and sweet and sour.
director:"……"
Tonight, she immediately went to watch Gu Yumian’s live broadcast and threw ten... no, twenty fireworks!!!
Time flies, and ten days have passed quietly.
Over the past month, a thousand new streamers from various planets have gathered on the capital planet, finally settling in. These new streamers are all top performers on their respective planets, and whether they arrived earlier or later, they all came with certain ambitions.
[Tangtang: Mianmian, the groups will be divided and the rookie competition will begin tomorrow. I've sent you the document explaining the competition rules. Are you nervous?]
Gu Yumian: "Are you telling the truth?"
[Tangtang: No, you told me you were nervous.] After spending a few days with him, Tangtang already knew that Gu Yumian had a somewhat Buddhist personality.
Gu Yumian was helpless: "...Okay, I'm nervous."
He held the baby panda and snow leopard in his arms, feeling extremely distressed, but not because of the rookie competition.
He later found an opportunity to visit Xinggang to look for the bamboo forest ad, but he didn't see it. When he asked people about it, they were all confused. He then turned to Weibo, but to his surprise, Weibo search was also blocked. All the clues were cut off again.
"I'm really not cut out to be a detective," Gu Yumian thought. "There must be a simpler way, but I just can't think of it."
He didn't dare to discuss it with anyone casually. He had been busy with live broadcasts and raising cubs here for so long, and he didn't have any close friends he could confide in.
Fortunately, the baby panda seems happy and has gained a few pounds over the past few days. Although the little snow leopard still rejects it, its attitude has become much more relaxed than at the beginning, and it is obviously used to it.
This is Gu Yumian’s greatest comfort.
On the other side, the optical brain was still beeping.
[Tangtang: Oh, Mianmian, that commercial we filmed earlier is airing today! We're planning to officially announce you tonight an hour after the commercial airs. Could you please sign up for Weibo and post the edited video there? I wish you the best of luck in your rookie competition.]
Gu Yumian's announcement was the final one—though it seemed like it had been held back for over ten days, it was actually a gesture of great importance from Starry Sky. The announcement was made tonight, and the competition was tomorrow, so the hype around the announcement was still there, which was undoubtedly a huge advantage.
Gu Yumian was very grateful: "Thank you, thank you for your trouble."
Of course, Xingkong was also motivated by profit, and this opportunity simply maximized the benefits for Gu Yumian. Even without first place, Gu Yumian was definitely one of the top three seeded players in this group, and all he needed was a chance to shine on a bigger stage.
The rookie competition is that opportunity.
That night, Gu Yumian registered on Weibo, and Xingkong quickly gave him a 'V'.
He was truly a Buddhist. Even with so many fans and viewers urging him to register, he kept dragging his feet. He hadn't checked Weibo back on Earth before, and now, holding his laptop, he was a bit unsure what to do. The official Weibo post about his announcement had been released, and he definitely had to retweet it. Gu Yumian thought for a long time before typing:
“@Starry Sky Live-Gu Yumian V:
Hi everyone, I'm Gu Yumian from Starry Sky Live. Please give me your guidance in the future [love] // @Starry Sky Live V: New anchor @Starry Sky Live - Gu Yumian V, officially rated A (there are less than 50 A-level anchors in the entire capital) [picture][good], and my masterpiece is here [video]. No matter what you think, the official blogger is already drooling!
Unexpectedly, as a blank account with 0 followers, the number of reposts, likes and comments on Gu Yumian's Weibo post began to increase exponentially as soon as he posted it. This shouldn't have happened. Even if Gu Yumian already had a group of loyal fans on the live broadcast, they shouldn't have found Weibo so quickly without being notified.
[Meow: Oh oh oh oh oh!! I’m coming, it’s Mian Mian!!!]
Hamster Loves Melon Seeds: Are you the star of that kitchen system commercial? Ahh ...
Vita Lemon Tea: awsl, I was trying to catch up on a drama, but after the commercials, I suddenly felt like the drama was completely boring. I've been sitting in front of my laptop waiting for the commercials (I've already seen them ten times in the last hour). Am I crazy?
Muli Xiangsi: I'm going crazy too! This commercial is so good, absolutely amazing! I've already placed an order for the kitchen system. I'm wondering if the system will actually transform into the person in the commercial. If not, does buying the system also come with a free live stream?!
[Thermos Cup Goji Berry: Who came up with the idea of anthropomorphic kitchen systems? It's amazing, and the perspective is also very novel.]
It turns out that just one hour after the ad was released, it had already generated a lot of discussion.
The idea of anthropomorphizing the system is indeed quite innovative, and coupled with the first-person holographic perspective, many people, who used to skip ads while watching TV series or playing games in holographic mode, suddenly tasted the crispy, sour, and sweet taste of sweet and sour pork ribs - a first impression that made this dish never feel abrupt or boring no matter how you eat it.
Before I could recover, I was hit by a series of critical hits.
A gentle embrace that makes you yearn for it, the sunset and the chirping of cicadas, perfectly cooked food and honey water served at the right time, especially when the handsome man with the kitchen system, with his eyelids slightly lowered to reveal a small dimple, calls you "Master"...
The girl's heart exploded in an instant.
And regardless of gender, the comfort they feel when watching ads is real, and this strategy has achieved tremendous results.
In just one night, the popularity of the advertisement and the sales of the kitchen system continued to grow wildly, and Gu Yumian's newly opened Weibo account also took advantage of this favorable trend and gained hundreds of thousands of followers overnight.
The next day is the day when the rookie competition officially begins.
Gu Yumian got up as usual and prepared some food. Then he remembered the Weibo account he had just registered yesterday and checked it out on a whim... Hmm?
He rubbed his eyes, and rubbed them again.
It took me very long to accept this fact.
Tangtang quickly sent him a message to remind him to prepare. Just as Gu Yumian was about to quit Weibo, he was suddenly attracted by a hot search.
——#Twenty-four pots of serious illness?#
Gu Yumian was stunned.
"Twenty-four...pots?"
