Chapter 405 - Chapter 405 Chapter 404 Not Enough Extras

Chapter 405: Chapter 404 Not Enough Extras Chapter 405: Chapter 404 Not Enough Extras “As for this purple, it’s the soy sauce used for dipping sushi,” Wang Hao paused, then continued, “Real sushi restaurants often add kelp and dried skipjack tuna to the soy sauce for filtering, making mature soy sauce, and each restaurant has its own unique soy sauce recipe. The top sushi places have honed their skills to such an extent that they don’t use soy sauce at all; instead, they use different salts based on seasonal ingredients and flavors. Although we don’t require them to use various salts, at least they shouldn’t just fool people with ordinary soy sauce, right?”

Principal Zheng: “…”

Chen Daocheng: “…”

Jiang Ruoyun: “…”

Other onlookers: “…”

Well, after Brother Hao’s explanation, this sushi is inedible now…

Chen Daocheng was stunned; although he was a gourmet critic, it was absolutely impossible for him to speak as knowledgeably as Wang Hao!

“Brother Hao,” Chen Daocheng hastily said, “What should we do? Our society really needs a food program to boost our popularity, and we’re at the point of no return. But this sushi just won’t do…”

“I really don’t know what you were thinking,” Wang Hao said dismissively with a curl of his lip, “We have hundreds of dishes in the Heavenly People’s Republic, just the eight major cuisines–Sichuan, Shandong, Cantonese, Su, Zhejiang, Min, Xiang, and Hui–are enough to talk about for a year, not to mention if you include other miscellaneous categorizations. You could never finish covering all that, yet you’re insisting on making a big deal out of lousy sushi. You’re out of your mind!”

“This…” Chen Daocheng was left speechless by Wang Hao’s comments, but on reflection, he had a point! With so many dishes in the Heavenly People’s Republic, just filming a few local snacks from any place could fill an entire episode! Not to mention the unique dishes from those small villages nestled in mountain valleys…

“As expected of Brother Hao,” Chen Daocheng exclaimed enthusiastically, slapping his thigh, “You’ve really opened my eyes with just a few words! This is great! So Brother Hao, what should I prepare for the program, and what should I name it? ‘Heavenly People’s Republic’s Signature Recipes’? ‘Heavenly People’s Republic’s Eight Major Cuisines’?”

Look at you, thinking about those names!

Wang Hao asked, “What do you need to taste food flavors?”

Chen Daocheng was momentarily taken aback, then answered, “Tongue, of course. Why?”

“So,” Wang Hao shrugged, “just call the program ‘Heavenly Tastes on the Tip of the Tongue!’ That’s the best name right there!”

Heavenly Tastes on the Tip of the Tongue!

Upon hearing that name, everyone present started to salivate!

Brother Hao truly lived up to his name, coming up with such classy stuff so casually!

Principal Zheng exclaimed, “Brother Hao truly is amazing. Just a few words and everything’s organized so well!”

“Wang Hao,” it was finally Tong Tong’s turn to speak, as she had previously just been a bystander, “Our crew currently needs a lot of actors. I’ve asked quite a few people, but their prices are quite high. If we go with similar quality actors, just the acting fees alone would cost at least fifty million. Do you see any other way?”

Now this was serious business, and everyone perked up their ears to listen.

“Actors, huh?” Wang Hao stroked his chin, then looked towards Yang Shoulin, asking, “Director Yang, who exactly are we missing?”

Yang Shoulin said, “We still don’t have someone suitable for the second female lead Yue Lingshan, or Lin Pingzhi, Lan Fenghuang, Dongfang Bubai, and we also need a lot of extras for the Five Mountains Sect disciples.”

“That many!” Wang Hao was startled upon hearing this.

He had never expected such a huge gap…

Yang Shoulin sighed, “Yes, we have quite a few people needed, and Teacher Tong can find some key players, but there’s still a big gap. You know, she can only negotiate and audition one by one, and she’s just too busy to handle it all. Wang Hao, you’re not too busy lately, maybe you can help find some?”

Well, this is true; talking about it, I’m really the idle one in the crew.

“This…” suddenly noticing Jiang Ruoyun’s friends and then looking at Meng Weiting and Meng Haoran, the father and son, he suddenly asked Principal Zheng, “Principal Zheng, the students at your college… what do you think about this…”

Upon hearing this, Principal Zheng’s eyes lit up!

“No problem at all!” he slapped his thigh firmly, saying, “Every weekend, there are lots of students waiting for opportunities at the front gate of our school. They’re affordable, high-quality, and plentiful! Brother Hao, you can choose whoever you want!”

Damn, now that’s a good deal! That’s definitely worth checking out!

“Haha, okay, I’ll give it a try this weekend!”

“Me too, me too!” Jiang Ruoyun called out urgently from the side, “Little mentor, you can’t leave me behind! I’m your good disciple now. You can’t do something fun without taking me!”

Everyone looked at her, and Qin Susu whispered quietly, “Sister Yaoyao, Sister Ruoyun must have a crush on Teacher Wang Hao!”

Yang Xueyao nodded seriously, “I think so too!”

Wang Hao said, “Why are you everywhere? Write me a script this weekend, and don’t run around aimlessly all day!”

Jiang Ruoyun said, “But I want to go too…”

Wang Hao: “Are you going to disobey your mentor’s words?”

Jiang Ruoyun: “Okay, boo hoo hoo…”

…

Ah, these last few days have been really busy; it’s rare to have nothing much to do today. Time to hit the streets!

Wang Hao woke up in the morning and casually strolled out of the hotel.

So far, everything at the hotel was going smoothly; each person had their role, and everything was well-organized. Currently, they were shooting very simple scenes, just progressing the storyline and not yet involving any major stars. Wang Hao was happy to relax.

On the street, Wang Hao looked around. Hey, there’s a braised chicken with rice shop; it’s been a long time since I had that. Let’s give it a try.
