199: Please ask Teacher He and Wang Han to help promote "The Living Buddha Ji Gong"!
In the afternoon, after the rehearsal.
The Happy Camp family members arrived at the studio.
Teacher He saw Chen Le and immediately smiled, "Director Chen, let's go eat together. It's been a long time, let's catch up."
"Sounds good!" Chen Le nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
Next to them, Wang Han walked over and, hearing Teacher He's words, raised an eyebrow and said, "Teacher He, you called Director Chen, why didn't you call us?"
"Why wouldn't I call you? Everyone come together, the more people, the livelier it is!" Teacher He quickly said upon hearing Wang Han's words.
"Alright."
Just like that, the Happy Camp family and the Tian Tian Brothers members gathered together.
Also present were the main creative members of Goodbye Mr. Loser.
Teacher He led them to a relatively large restaurant near the TV station.
"Director Chen, today I'm treating you to authentic hunan cuisine. Is there anyone here who can't eat spicy food?" Teacher He smiled as he looked at Chen Le, Naza, and Shen Teng behind them.
The Happy Camp family and the Tian Tian Brothers members had lived in Star City for many years, so they were long accustomed to eating spicy food.
So Teacher He didn't need to ask them.
But Shen Teng and the others were different; they were all northerners, three from the Northeast, one from Inner Mongolia, Tian Yu was from Yanjing, and Li Liqun was from Baodao.
Even Naza was from Jiang Province.
Looking at it this way, it seemed few could handle spicy food.
After all, most of the provinces that can eat spicy food are in the south, especially the central provinces including Hunan Province.
"I can eat it, and Naza can too, but can you guys, Shen Teng, eat spicy food?" Chen Le looked at Shen Teng and the others, saying with some uncertainty.
"Boss, I can eat spicy food," Shen Teng immediately said upon hearing Chen Le's words.
Ma Li, seeing Shen Teng speak, also nodded, "I can eat some too."
Yin Zheng and Wang Zhi exchanged glances, then Yin Zheng said, "I can try."
Wang Zhi was the same.
"I can try too."
At this moment, Tian Yu spoke up, "I can eat it. Teacher Li, can you eat it?"
"I can eat it, I really like good food, and I've had hunan cuisine before, I can handle it," Li Liqun said with a smile.
"Alright, since everyone can accept it, let's go eat hunan cuisine," Teacher He immediately said with a smile.
Then, he led Chen Le and the others into the restaurant.
He had already reserved a private room.
At the dining table, Chen Le remembered something.
That was asking Teacher He and Wang Han to help him promote "living buddha ji gong."
This was days ago, thankfully he remembered it now.
"By the way, Teacher He, Wang Han, I have something I'd like to ask for your help with," Chen Le said, looking at Teacher He and Wang Han.
Teacher He immediately sat up straight upon hearing this and seriously asked, "Director Chen, what is it? If I can do it, I'll definitely help."
Next to him, Wang Han also smiled and said, "Yes, Director Chen, me too."
"It's like this, I'd like to ask you to help promote my new tv series, 'living buddha ji gong,' just a few mentions will do," Chen Le stated his request.
Teacher He and Wang Han were stunned for a moment, then nodded, "New tv series? Of course! But we'll have to tell the production team."
The two of them readily agreed to Chen Le's request.
After all, with Chen Le's current status and influence, the production team would naturally not refuse this request. Moreover, they were both the mainstays of their respective shows, so they had the authority to make such a decision.
"Great, thank you both," Chen Le knew that this matter was as good as done once he heard them agree.
"Director Chen, is this new tv series also directed by you?" At this moment, Teacher He asked with some curiosity.
After Teacher He asked, Wang Han also looked over.
"No, but the script was written by me, and I also supervised the filming. The director of this tv series is Director Xu Gang, who works for my company," Chen Le shook his head and then explained to them.
"Xu Gang?"
When the two heard this name, their first impression was unfamiliarity.
Well, they had never even heard of this director's name.
Not a single impression.
"He's the director who shot the web series 'unexpectedly,'" Chen Le said again.
At this point, Teacher He and Wang Han suddenly looked enlightened.
"Oh, so he's the director of 'unexpectedly'!" Teacher He said with a smile.
In reality, he was still very confused.
He had watched this web series, but he had no recollection of who the director was, or rather, he hadn't paid any attention to who the director was after watching the web series.
Wang Han's reaction was a bit slower than Teacher He's; he only came to his senses after Teacher He spoke.
"I've seen this show, I didn't expect it to be directed by a director from your company, Director Chen!" Wang Han said with a smile.
"Yes," Chen Le nodded.
He naturally saw that the two didn't know Gang Zi, but it didn't matter; it was enough that they knew him now.
After this tv series airs, more people should get to know Gang Zi.
"living buddha ji gong has already passed censorship, and now it just needs promotion," Chen Le continued.
"Don't worry, Director Chen, since you've asked, we'll definitely help you," Teacher He said with a smile.
Afterward, the meal was finished.
Shen Teng and Ma Li kept drinking juice because of the spiciness.
And Yin Zheng and Wang Zhi were even more exaggerated; their faces were red from the spice, looking utterly resigned.
"Refreshing! hunan cuisine is still the most satisfying to eat. The spicier it is, the more you want to eat it, and the more fragrant it gets," Li Liqun said with a smile, his face still showing a lingering sense of enjoyment.
He loved good food, and even if it was spicy, it was fine as long as it tasted good.
Chen Le looked at Naza next to him; fine beads of sweat were seeping from her forehead, and her cheeks were flushed.
Clearly, she was also extremely hot from the spice.
Now she didn't even want to speak.
Seeing this, Chen Le asked with concern, "Naza, are you alright?"
"Brother Le, I'm fine," Naza shook her head.
At this moment, Teacher He walked over and said with a smile, "Director Chen, I didn't expect you to be able to eat so much spicy food, I really can't compare!"
"Haha, my hometown can also eat a lot of spicy food, so I have a high tolerance for hunan cuisine," Chen Le laughed.
Chen Le had eaten quite a bit, but his expression remained unchanged.
Wang Han was also a bit surprised to see this.
He didn't expect Chen Le to be able to eat so much spicy food.
Even those of them who had lived in Star City for so many years still broke out in a sweat when eating, though they were slightly better than those like Shen Teng who were trying hunan cuisine for the first time, but not by much.
He was only slightly better than those like Shen Teng who were trying hunan cuisine for the first time, but not by much.
"Let's go back, we still have to record the show tonight," Teacher He said with a smile.
It was already past six, and the show recording time was seven-thirty, so they had to hurry back.
Afterward, they returned to the TV station.
At this time, the studio set had already been arranged.
Many audience members had arrived early, one after another.
