After Leaving the Sports Circle, I Became a Cooking God (Completed BL)

Chapter 143-144

The first scene was set in a cozy Scandinavian-style kitchen where a calm male figure was busy at work.

The second scene featured a close-up of a pair of attractive hands chopping vegetables.

The third scene showed the same appealing hands, now holding a bottle of cooking oil while stir-frying.

The fourth scene highlighted the oil dropping into the pan, followed by heartwarming everyday cooking moments.

The final scene depicted Su Bai holding a dish, smiling at the camera, and saying his only line, "Let's eat." This line was the most significant acting challenge for Su Bai in the entire ad, as Jiang Yuan required him to deliver it with an intimate tone, as if speaking to a loved one.

The overall tone of the advertisement was fresh, warm, and green, emphasizing the premium quality and healthiness of the olive oil while maintaining a refreshing atmosphere, subtly suggesting to the audience that this olive oil was not as greasy as regular soybean oil.

Since the start of the shoot, several camera positions had been set up on location. One was the director's camera, used for the main filming of the ad, while another covered the entire scene, capturing the behind-the-scenes footage requested by the brand.

Although Su Bai initially felt unfamiliar with the process of shooting an advertisement, once he arrived at the kitchen set arranged by the advertising team, he began to feel more at ease. After all, he had maintained a consistent routine of culinary training for at least an hour every day within the training space provided by the system. This gave him a sense of familiarity and comfort whenever he stepped into a kitchen.

If the advertisement shoot presented no particular challenge for Su Bai, then for the rest of the advertising team, there was indeed... a significant challenge ahead.

At first, as Su Bai began cooking in the kitchen, Jiang Yuan would keep an eye on the cameraman's shots and occasionally give Su Bai instructions like, "Look up at the camera."

However, as Su Bai's cooking in the kitchen progressed from preparation to frying and sautéing, the previously simple task of capturing the mise en place turned out to be a source of distraction for the cameraman. His hands looked great, and the cameraman was so impressed that he became distracted.

Joining the "distracted" club was none other than Jiang Yuan himself.

He couldn't believe how aromatic the kitchen had become. He and his team had watched Su Bai's variety show back when he was coaching the track and field team. They had discussed it then, saying, "Wow, Su Bai's cooking segment looks really good; it's making me hungry."

However, they hadn't really believed that Su Bai's cooking could be so fragrant. As for why the track and field team members loved it so much, Su Bai was their coach, so naturally, the food he made had to be delicious.

So, when they were preparing to shoot today's advertisement content, Jiang Yuan's entire team was caught off guard. Not only were they unprepared, but they had also planned to show some excitement for the food Su Bai was cooking. They believed that doing so would help enhance the post-production editing of the behind-the-scenes footage.

However...

As the saying goes, ideals are plump, but reality is rather lean. Or, in their current situation, perhaps it would be more appropriate to say:

Ideals are lean, but reality... is a bit too plump!

Because they had seen Su Bai's cooking show on the variety program, Jiang Yuan and the director had thoroughly polished the shot script in advance. They had also communicated with the cameraman to ensure that the culinary shots looked "appealing."
