The Japanese drama Midnight Food Store is in its third season, but it still has a large audience. One of the reasons why this TV series is popular is that it has a very touching plot and story, a boss who is not good at words but is a superb cook, and a group of diners with stories. The combination of food and stories warms the stomach and the heart.
However, it is problematic to move such a story to China. First of all, there is no such thing as izakaya in China, let alone izakaya, which opens in the middle of the night. In the middle of the night, we have food stalls and barbecues. If the story is adapted locally, we can also get in touch with the local atmosphere. However, TV dramas directly copy the settings of Japanese dramas. The same izakaya, the same boss wearing kimonos and clogs, is a bit problematic. Is it funny?
Huang Lei version of "Midnight Food Store" Aspect 2: How unreliable are actors?
In the Japanese drama Midnight Food Store, Kobayashi Kaoru is undoubtedly the most brilliant figure. Every time I look at izakaya, the boss played by Kobayashi Kaoru, I always feel that there is a strange light in those eyes, which seems serious but so reassuring. But Huang Lei is different. Besides a "yellow chef", Huang Lei also has an "old fox" and a "divine operator". This kind of person is very different from any silent boss.
When I first saw the poster of Huang Lei's version of Midnight Food Store, besides starring Huang Lei, there were two supporting roles that directly attracted my attention, namely He Jiong and Orfila. In mainland film and television circles, there is a curse. As long as it is a film and television drama with a happy family, 100% should be classified as a bad film. The first two episodes of the TV series perfectly demonstrated this point. Needless to say, Orfila's embarrassing performance was fast-forwarded. I believe many viewers changed channels directly like the author.
Huang Lei Midnight Food Store Aspect 3: How unreliable is food?
In the Japanese drama Midnight Food Store, the food inside is more attractive. Although there is only one set meal of pork flavor enhancement on the menu. But here, as long as the boss can do it and you can point it out, the boss will help you do it. Every time I see the delicious food in the play, my appetite is wide open and my mouth is watering through the screen.
But the food in Huang Lei's version of midnight food store is a bit ridiculous. Although Huang Lei built himself a "yellow kitchen", to be honest, the standard of Huang Lei's home cooking is not outstanding at all. But it's not bad to make some warm-hearted home cooking in TV series. Results In the first episode, Huang Lei made an old jar of beef noodles with sauerkraut, implanted it naked, and did not forget to give a close-up of the jar. This is called delicious food? A bunch of people go to restaurants to eat instant noodles in the middle of the night? You can't be so shameless to make money.
