Chapter 797 - Speaking With Skills (1/2)

The filming crew this time consisted of those Ji Yi had selected after many considerations. All of them were people with true skill.

There was the extremely skilled director, Da Hai, the assistant director, Qiu Qiu, the gaffer Xiao Longren, the sound engineer, Ah Ken, the script supervisor, Xiao Dao, and the beautiful makeup artist, Bai Li. There were other members in the crew but they were unimportant.

There were seven of them with a lot of equipment. Therefore, they had to travel in a van. While in the van, everyone started a short discussion.

“I used to hate filming promotional videos. After all, I am a proper filmmaker,” Ah Ken said. “But ever since I filmed Master Wan Ao, I fell in love with doing this.”

“We have to thank our most respected Director Da Hai. Thank you for giving me this opportunity,” Ah Ken said.

“You are quite good at ass-kissing, huh? You’re giving me goosebumps,” Xiao Longren said.

Ah Ken countered, “Don’t you pretend like you are not the person who wanted more even after finishing three bowls of dumplings.”

Xiao Longren and Ah Ken were original members of Da Hai’s crew. They had been through a lot of jobs with him and knew each other very well. Such banter between them was quite normal.

“The eating part of filming promotional video has always been perfect,” Director Da Hai said with a nod.

“Boss Yuan is still quite young, right? I feel like I am the one suffering a loss here,” Xiao Dao suddenly remarked.

“What loss are you suffering? Are you doubting Boss Yuan’s food? Let me tell you that the food cooked by Boss Yuan can only be described with the term ‘extremely delicious’,” Qiu Qiu the assistant director countered. He had eaten at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant once before. At that time, Yuan Zhou’s restaurant only had Jin’ling Cuisine.

Although he had only eaten here once, that one time was enough to conquer him and transform him into a fan of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.

Bai Li the makeup artist did not partake in the discussion. A smile hung on her face, as if she was thinking of something amusing.

When filming promotional videos for cooked wheaten food, a meal would be provided for the crew out of courtesy after filming.

Regardless of whether it was Master Ao they mentioned earlier or Master Long Xumian, these were people who had long stopped cooking personally.

Therefore, everyone in the crew, including Qiu Qiu, had been holding back in their meal earlier. They were preparing to eat the meal that Boss Yuan was going to provide for them later tonight.

“Between Boss Yuan and Master Ao, who do you think is better?”

“I think they should be of similar levels?”

“I think so as well. Although Boss Yuan is very young and has no advantage in terms of experience, I heard that Boss Yuan is a genius chef. Therefore, I don’t think he is too far off from the masters.”

They chatted while they traveled and finally, they reached Taoxi Road.

At night, Taoxi Road was peaceful yet lively.

“Wait. Driver, just stop at the intersection,” said the director as he suddenly thought of something.

Ah Ken and the others looked at the director in confusion. They could not understand why they weren’t bringing the van straight to the restaurant. After all, they had a lot of filming equipment they needed to carry along.

“Master Ji told me that no cars can enter Taoxi Road. It’s not that far anyway. We can carry the equipment ourselves,” Da Hai said.

Next, they started carrying their equipment and headed toward Boss Yuan’s restaurant.

“By the way, the public amenities of this street are quite good. The trash cans are all neat and tidy, and there are resting benches as well,” Xiao Longren was more attentive to details.

The appearance of the crew of seven had attracted the attention of the customers that were drinking liquor.

“Look, they are carrying cameras. Are they here for the promotional video?”

“I think so.”

“Come on. Let’s go have a look. Boss Yuan is going to act cool soon.”
