Chapter 766 Competition System
This competition system is far more complicated and more commercial than Jiang Feng imagined.
The one in pure English looks a bit headache-y. Although it is not incomprehensible, it will remind Jiang Feng of the painful time of taking the Level 6 test.
Perhaps this is because the Sino-US Chef King Competition is conducted on a restaurant basis. No matter which restaurant it is, it does not want a variety show to affect its original business. After all, this variety show is recorded on a monthly basis. . After considering this aspect, the program team came up with a competition system that was completely different from what Jiang Feng had imagined before.
There are eight restaurants each from China and the United States that can participate. In the first one and a half months, the eight restaurants from both sides competed internally. The competition system is a points competition. The points are updated every week. In the end, the top two restaurants with cumulative points will enter the final. total PK.
In order not to affect the normal operation of the restaurant, the points competition is divided into two methods. Each restaurant can send four contestants, and contestants cannot be changed midway unless there are unexpected circumstances.
Before the start of the competition, each contestant can give the program team ten dishes that he is good at. The program team will randomly select one dish every week as this week's competition dish, counting from Monday to Sunday. If the restaurant is open normally, one point will be awarded for each designated dish sold. Another point will be awarded if the dish receives a positive review from a customer. If the dish receives a negative review from a customer, two points will be deducted.
This is the format for the first half of the points race.
There is a small evaluation every two weeks. The content of the small evaluation will be kept confidential for the time being. The restaurant will receive different points according to the evaluation ranking.
The format of the second half is roughly the same as the first half. The only difference is that the restaurant business will be slightly affected, because the eight restaurants will draw lots to exchange the participating boxers to a random opponent restaurant. The four contestants will be responsible for completing the subsequent operations together with other employees of the opponent restaurant to ensure that their turnover will not be greatly fluctuated and affected. The content of the competition is exactly the same as the first half, except that the ten dishes given must Matches the style of the rival restaurant.
If the turnover of the rival restaurant drops significantly during the exchange period, the restaurant of the exchanged chef will deduct three hundred points as a penalty.
It can be said that if you disrupt the other party's business, you will also be disrupted.
The competition system is quite interesting. Jiang Feng thinks that it is good that the program team can come up with such a competition method that can attract the attention of the audience without affecting the normal operation of the restaurant.
Even this kind of competition system is too easy to cheat.
In the second half of the exchange, cheating may be slightly more difficult if the confidentiality is better. In the first half of the year, your own restaurant is open, so it’s not easy to hire some fake diners to take orders.
Then Jiang Feng saw the precautions.
The first is that any form of cheating is strictly prohibited.
After all, this competition is a reality show. Although it is a show, the premise is real people. In addition to the exciting competition, the selling point is also the daily life and personal charm of the contestants.
In addition to filming in the kitchen and restaurant, the camera crew of the program team will also follow the contestants to their homes to film some content that the contestants can accept. But Jiang Feng suspected that given the nature of the American reality show, he would film it even if the content was unacceptable.
The program team may have realized that their competition system is too convenient for cheating, so they listed this warning as the first one. The program team stated that they will adopt the highest degree of data monitoring and conduct large-scale investigations once data anomalies are discovered to prevent fraudulent orders to the greatest extent possible.
Once cheating is confirmed, you will be immediately disqualified from the competition.
It seems to be quite similar, but I don't know if it will be implemented like this when the time comes.
What really surprised Jiang Feng was the location of the final PK.
After the top four are determined, the competition format is very ordinary. It is the kind of four groups of chefs that everyone imagines coming together to compete fiercely on a large stage. In the end, the jury will decide who the final champion is.
Nothing new, but it’s what everyone really wants to see.
Competition, isn't that what it is?
Old fashioned, but exciting!
Jiang Feng originally thought that the location of the finals would definitely be in the United States, and that he would be able to experience the feeling of traveling at public expense, but it turned out that the location of the finals was actually in Peking.
The reason given by the program team was that Xu Cheng, the main judge of the finals, currently lives in Peiping. Xu Cheng didn't want to move, so he bothered others to move over. But Jiang Feng suspected that there was someone else who didn't want to move, such as Chef Arnold, who really held the lifeblood of the show team.
After reading the entire competition system and process, Jiang Feng thought it was pretty good.
If he were not a contestant but an ordinary viewer, he would be very interested in watching such a variety show. Just like when he watched the first season of the show in which Chef Arnold participated, he would stay up all night to catch up on it.
For reality shows, the show is only a small part, the most important thing is the real person. As long as the competition system is fair, reasonable and interesting, it is enough for both the contestants and the audience.
There is no need to create so many inexplicable quarrels for the sake of explosive points. In the first season, Chef Arnold has proven with practical actions that what the audience likes to watch is not quarrels - they may just like to watch curses.
In addition to the documentation of the program process, Chef Arnold also asked Jiang Feng if he had any comments.
Of course Jiang Feng had no objection, so he said no to Chef Arnold.
Never heard back again.
Then he casually forwarded the document to Wu Minqi and Sun Maocai. They were definitely going to participate in the competition. This had been decided before, but they had not discussed who the remaining person to participate in the competition would be.
Then I thought about it and forwarded the document to Zhang Guanghang.
Just kidding, Lao Zhang is the face of their Tai Feng Building.
As long as Lao Zhang participates and the show is broadcast, based on current estimates of the quality, this variety show will definitely explode. Last year's not-so-professional Good Taste Cooking Competition became quite popular across the country, and Zhang Guanghang became a hot search topic. Now that such a professional cooking competition doesn't have hundreds of millions of views, it would be a shame for Arnold. The chef's debut.
Once the show broke out, even if Tai Fung House didn't win the championship, they wouldn't have to worry about business for the next ten years.
As long as Zhang Guanghang doesn't gain weight and gets out of shape within ten years, he will be the most handsome guy in the culinary world.
Just when Jiang Feng was imagining that Tai Feng Tower would soon be making a fortune to pay off its debt, Zhang Guanghang received a message back.
Lao Zhang: I’ve seen it. The competition format is good, but it’s not convenient for me to participate. You can find someone else.
Jiang Feng:?
He thought he saw dozens of piles of red banknotes flying away in front of him with wings.
Still fluttering.
Zhou Shi:?
Zhou Shi had been observing Jiang Feng from the beginning.
At first, he could tell that Jiang Feng was probably looking at documents or something, because Jiang Feng was very focused and his expression was very serious. Later, I guess the document was good, and I felt much more relaxed and seemed quite satisfied.
He couldn't figure out Jiang Feng's expression later.
First there was joy, then happiness, and finally ecstasy. There was also a hint of money that came from nowhere in the ecstasy. Now it suddenly turned into despair and sadness, as if it had lost two million.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Shi asked.
"Nothing." Jiang Feng looked sad and sent a message to Sun Maocai to ask who else he thought was more suitable to participate in the competition. "I just feel that I have lost money."
Jiang Feng sniffed, as if money had really dropped. (End of chapter)
