Chapter 310 Variety show, Snow Soup
Variety show?
To be honest, Shen Lang is not opposed to variety shows. Some good variety shows can indeed bring relaxation to the audience during their rest time.
For example, comedy variety shows.
However, the quality of domestic variety shows is really worrying. Most of the shows are like big monkeys, with people laughing and going crazy, artificially and deliberately creating conflicts and boring moments, and finally making the audience pay for the shows and sponsors.
When it comes to variety shows, Shen Lang is definitely well-qualified to speak. His wife, the former queen of variety shows, once said bluntly at home: "They just run around and form small groups to make money. They don't even need to use their brains."
Now, Lao Lu asked himself to participate in a variety show?
And you also want to participate in foreign variety shows?
Isn't this insulting?
When Shen Lang told Park Dehuan and Ting Xianghao about his request, they were also very surprised.
Park Dehuan was fine, he said he would help to find out!
Ting Xianghao was surprised and said, "Teacher Shen, isn't our job now to promote Train to Busan? Why did you suddenly think of being on a variety show?"
"Although our Korean variety shows are very famous all over the world, but..."
"Please!" What could Shen Lang say? Well, let me explain to you, my brain was kicked by a donkey, and now I have to participate in variety shows to gain awesome skills and solve the problems in the later stages of the movie.
If he tells this to others, Ting Xianghao will probably reconsider giving up working with a madman.
After hesitating for a while, Ting Xianghao finally nodded and said on the other end of the phone: "Okay, I'll try to help you make the connection. Increasing your exposure in Korea will also be good for the movie."
Jung Sang-ho hung up the phone with a sad face. Ma Dong-seok, Ahn So-hee and others who were studying the script nearby didn't think there was anything wrong with the news.
Especially the young An Zhaoxi, when he heard that Shen Lang wanted to participate in a variety show, he clapped his hands excitedly and said, "That's great, Oppa is so handsome and an internationally renowned actor, it must be very interesting to participate in a variety show!"
Ma Dongxi heard this and said to Jung Sang-ho, "I know Yoo Jae-seok, why don't I ask him if I can be on Running Man as a special guest?"
Ting Xianghao clasped his hands and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Dongxi!"
Ma Dong-seok has become famous in South Korea in recent years. With his extremely strong physique, he has starred in many movies and has also built up good connections in the film and television industry.
He called Yoo Jae Suk and explained the situation.
But Yoo Jae Suk unexpectedly refused.
"Dong Xi, you probably don't know Shen Lang! His ex-wife is a guest on the Chinese version of our show. If you invite him to Running Man, it will probably make it difficult for him!"
(Shen Lang: You are overthinking it. I don’t care at all. As long as you can give me 500,000 free Korean fans, you can do whatever you want!)
"Really? Bro, I'm sorry, I didn't think it through!"
……
When Ma Dong-seok told everyone what Yoo Jae-seok said, everyone fell silent.
This place, except for Ma Dong-seok and Ahn So-hee who have some resources in South Korea, the connections of the others in the entertainment industry, including director Jung Sang-ho, are almost zero.
Just when Ting Xianghao was at a loss, Park Dehuan, who had a wide network of contacts, found a program for Shen Lang.
"The Road to the God of Cookery? What exactly is it about?"
Park Dehuan introduced: "This is a food entertainment program on Y-star TV. It's mainly a program where celebrity idols lead the audience to find food together!"
"Food, huh? How are the ratings?"
"Well, this program was founded ten years ago and has a lot of loyal fans!" Park Dehuan spoke very rigorously but never mentioned the ratings.
How could Shen Lang not understand after hearing this?
It's okay, a half-dead rhythm.
At this time, his cell phone rang.
On the other end of the phone, Ting Xianghao apologized and said that he had thought of some ways, but in the end he still couldn't find a suitable program. Well, if that's the case, then it means there is nothing to choose from!
……
Five days later.
When Shen Lang reunited with the crew of "The Road to the God of Cookery", the host Zheng Junhe actually knew Shen Lang.
"You are the big brother in the show 'Funny Family'!"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Junhe excitedly shook Shen Lang's hand and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Shen to have watched the TV series I starred in!"
Shen Lang looked Zheng Junhe up and down. He looked a little silly and was indeed a comedian.
After bragging for a while, everyone arrived at Myeongdong Street in Jung District, Seoul.
"Teacher Shen, today we are visiting a shop that makes snow soup. The snow soup here is especially delicious! Later in the show, we have a small challenge. As a Chinese, please introduce similar delicacies from your country. It would be even better if you could make it yourself!" Zheng Junhe introduced.
For professional film and television practitioners, participating in this kind of variety show is simply child's play.
Shen Lang smiled and said, "Snow Thick Soup, what a nice name, I must try it later!"
Myeongdong is a shopping paradise in Seoul with a huge flow of people.
Moreover, it is said that the Shenxian Snow Nongtang restaurant visited by the crew is also a famous local restaurant.
When the crew's car just stopped in front of Shenxian Xue Nong Tang, it immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding people.
"It's 'The Road to the God of Cookery'! I'm here to try out the divine snow soup!"
"We should have come a long time ago. We've only come to such a delicious restaurant now! No wonder the ratings are not high recently! What kind of places did you choose before!"
"My mom really likes Jung Joon-ha. If she hears that he's visiting this store, she'll definitely watch it in the evening."
"I just don't know who the guest this time is?"
When Shen Lang got out of the car, the people around him were all stunned...
"He looks very handsome and like a celebrity. Is he the guest of this episode?"
"Why haven't I seen him before? A newcomer who just debuted?"
"You're still a newcomer. You don't look like a newcomer at that age!"
"Never mind, take pictures, take pictures!"
At this time, the owner of Shenxian Snow Nongtang had already come out to greet them.
Zheng Junhe first introduced Shen Lang to the boss, and the boss was just as confused as the people outside.
I thought it was a Korean celebrity, but it turned out to be a Chinese.
The person in front of me is not famous. I have never heard of him at all!
Besides, do Chinese people know what snow soup is?
"Boss, Teacher Shen hasn't tried the snow soup yet, you must show us your skills later!"
When the boss heard this, he immediately became arrogant and said, "No problem, I will definitely let the Chinese guests taste the delicious food that is only available in Korea!"
At this moment, the boss's whole body seemed to be shining, and that look made Shen Lang think, what the hell, this is some amazing delicacy.
"Well, I have an idea!" Zheng Junhe suddenly smiled at Shen Lang, "Teacher Shen, why don't you try our Korean delicacy, snow soup, first, and then tell me what it is made of! Just drink the soup!"
Shen Lang smiled and said, “It’s no big deal. Come on!”
