The photographer was wondering, why did you two come out so late at night to hold a reflection and summary meeting?
Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang talked around for a while, but in the end they couldn't come up with anything related to the conflict between Li Zhibai and Meng Li.
Li Zhenzhen sat in the workshop, watching them the whole time and listening to their conversation, feeling a little helpless.
"They really don't trust me at all." Li Zhenzhen said to Chen Biqiu helplessly.
"Trust between a director and an actor can't be built with just a few words. There's a lot to learn, so don't rush." Chen Biqiu said to Li Zhenzhen, "We were able to successfully resolve the dispute between Meng Li and Li Zhibai today. We're lucky that Chen Ziyan was able to secure sponsorship from the Xueyou App in time. Otherwise, we'd still have a lot of trouble with Meng Li."
Li Zhenzhen asked, "Brother Qiu, if Chen Ziyan hadn't brought in sponsorship for the Xueyou APP, would you have agreed to Meng Li's request and let Lu Yanhe leave?"
"How is that possible? If such a request can be agreed to, then how can this program be recorded? It will become her one-man show." Chen Biqiu denied it in a very clear attitude.
Li Zhenzhen looked at Chen Bijiu's attitude, but she didn't dare to really believe that Chen Bijiu would do this.
Preparing for the show "Young Days" has made Li Zhenzhen truly feel the pressure of being a director. She'd experienced pressure as an assistant director before, but it wasn't overwhelming, often coming from the specific tasks. But recently, the pressure has been overwhelming, coming from all directions.
Chen Biqiu's image in Li Zhenzhen's heart also underwent a huge change.
If it were in the past, Li Zhenzhen would believe what Chen Biqiu said without hesitation, but not now.
In the past, Li Zhenzhen would only make one judgment: whether this person was telling the truth or telling a lie.
Now Li Zhenzhen is increasingly aware that whether a person tells the truth or a lie does not depend on the person who is speaking, but on who the words are said to.
Li Zhenzhen couldn't judge whether Chen Bijiu would really stick to his principles and bottom line as he said, or whether he said this because he wanted her to believe that he was a person who would stick to his principles and bottom line.

Lu Yanhe took a shower, opened his notebook, and began to deal with the "Jump Up" matter.
With Jiang Yuqian submitting her manuscript, all the manuscripts have been collected.
Chen Siqi worked with Yilong to design the entire book's draft, and sent the electronic version to Lu Yanhe's email, asking him to read it in the next two days.
After Lu Yanhe downloaded the electronic version, he made himself a cup of coffee.
-
Chen Mo, who was watching the surveillance screen in the production team's studio, was a little surprised when he saw this. He asked, "Making coffee for yourself so late? Or instant coffee? Aren't you going to sleep?"
Li Zhenzhen heard Chen Mo's words, walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Lu Yanhe just made himself a cup of coffee and opened his laptop. Is he planning to do a live broadcast right now?"
"Probably not." Li Zhenzhen had some understanding of Lu Yanhe and knew that Lu Yanhe was not the kind of person who was so diligent that he would not waste any time. Besides, live streaming was not Lu Yanhe's job. So far, the live streaming room was just a channel for Lu Yanhe to keep in touch and communicate with his fans. Lu Yanhe should not do live streaming while recording a program.
Li Zhenzhen looked at it carefully for a while and said, "What is he reading? A script?"
She asked someone to enlarge the screen of Lu Yanhe's laptop and saw the densely packed words on it.
"What is this?" Everyone else felt strange.
Li Zhenzhen suddenly realized, "This should be the magazine he made, right?"
"ah?"
"That should be it," Li Zhenzhen said. "Don't keep watch here tonight. Go get some rest. The camera in his room is on 24 hours a day, so you don't need to watch over him. They'll probably be out tomorrow."
Once out, all groups must follow.
Chen Mo didn't rush to get up and leave. Instead, he said thoughtfully, "Director, I've been watching Lu Yanhe all day. I feel like he's a very ordinary person. He doesn't have any distinctive personality traits. Apart from the label of being a top student, I don't think there's anything special about him. Why did you want him to participate in this program?"
Li Zhenzhen has always emphasized that the most important thing in a reality show is people.
If you have the right person, any photo will look good. If you have the wrong person, no matter how hard you try, it will be useless.
Chen Mo couldn't see anything about Lu Yanhe that made him suitable for this reality show, so he asked this question.
Li Zhenzhen said, "At first it was for the gimmick, but later it was for the three of them, Li Zhibai, Yan Liang, and Lu Yanhe. I decided on them together. To be honest, Lu Yanhe alone is really not suitable for a variety show. He and Yan Liang both have this problem and are not very relaxed. But haven't you noticed? As long as Li Zhibai is present, the atmosphere between the three of them becomes very lively."
"Doesn't this mean that Li Zhibai is the most important person? He is indeed very suitable for recording the show."
"No, I thought so at first, but then I realized that Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang are interesting. They have their own strengths, but they just need to be stimulated and become familiar." Li Zhenzhen said, "The audience needs to become familiar with them, and they also need to become familiar with our production team and the camera. Li Zhibai has been on the show a lot, so he's very familiar with it. He's also very open-minded and not reserved, so he's good no matter how you look at him. Lu Yanhe is more cautious and introverted, so most of the time his material isn't very interesting. But there are a few moments where, without him, you can't see Li Zhibai's true self, nor can you feel the kind of friendship between true friends."
Chen Mo fell silent.
"Also, don't underestimate Lu Yanhe. He's a man who was able to turn his life around through his own hard work in his senior year of high school. He's an artist who was chosen by Luo Yuzhong and Jiang Yuqian to act when he was almost out of fashion. There must be something about him, but we haven't found it yet." Li Zhenzhen patted Chen Mo's shoulder. "Don't worry, there will be something."
-
Lu Yanhe carefully read the entire book from beginning to end, marked every place he thought could be revised, saved it, and sent it to Chen Siqi's email. When he looked up, he found his neck was sore.
He looked at the time and it was already one in the morning.
He yawned.
It's really tiring.
He washed his face and prepared to go to bed. Before going to bed, he checked his phone to see if there were any messages he hadn't replied to.
Upon closer inspection, I discovered that Song Linxin and Xiao Yun were still chatting in their "Young Days" group chat.
Song Linxin: I dare not sleep. As soon as I close my eyes, the images in my mind are sometimes a coffin and sometimes a woman locked in chains.
Xiao Yun: Me too.
Song Linxin: How about I come to see you? Can we sleep together tonight?
Xiao Yun: Okay, okay.
Song Linxin: I’m coming!
Lu Yanhe smiled and said in the group chat: Is it that scary?
Song Linxin: Why haven’t you slept yet?
Lu Yanhe: I was busy with other things just now.
Song Linxin: What time is it now?
Qin Zhibai: So, after all this time, you guys haven’t slept yet at this hour?
Lu Yanhe was startled and asked in surprise: Why are you still not asleep so late?
Qin Zhibai said: I go to bed late, I can't sleep so early.
Lu Yanhe: A night owl.
Qin Zhibai posted a picture of a "night owl".
When chatting online, Qin Zhibai is much more active than when talking face to face.
Xiao Yun said: None of us have slept so late, can we gather on time at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning?
Qin Zhibai: It feels uncertain.
Lu Yanhe: Struggle to get up.
Song Linxin: How about we postpone the gathering time?
Lu Yanhe: It’s not up to us to decide. We have all agreed on a time.
Song Linxin: That’s right.
Lu Yanhe: Go to sleep.
-
If people want to become familiar with each other, unless there is a special reason, they often fall in love over time.
Li Zhenzhen put a group of young people on a show and wanted to make them become good friends in just over ten days. This idea itself is not very reliable.
Li Zhenzhen never thought she could really do it, unless it was an act.
Therefore, Li Zhenzhen had no intention from the beginning to make this program a program about friendship.
At least that wasn't the plan at first.
What Li Zhenzhen really wants to film is the process of people going from strangers to familiarity and then to closeness.
People always have to perform a bit in front of the camera. Not to mention the camera, there is always some performance in front of people. No one can really be themselves wholeheartedly.
It is already an extraordinary thing to have some sincerity.
Lu Yanhe, Li Zhibai and Yan Liang are true friends, and they are true friends with an emotional foundation.
Li Zhenzhen followed them for a few days and was moved by the feeling of getting along between them. She really wanted to broadcast it on the show.
But if other people could become friends, Li Zhenzhen would certainly be happy to see it happen.
Li Zhenzhen only slept for four hours that night and woke up early in the morning.
She didn't wear any makeup, just put on a hat and went straight to the workshop.
There were only three or four people still awake in the workshop, and the others had simply pulled up camp beds and were sleeping.
When someone saw Li Zhenzhen coming, they hurriedly prepared to greet her.
Li Zhenzhen made a gesture of silence, indicating them to keep quiet and not disturb everyone's rest.
She sat down at her seat and whispered to the person who had been watching next to her, "Did anything happen last night?"
The person guarding was none other than Deputy Director Zheng Hesong.
"Haha, you don't know how exciting it is."
Li Zhenzhen was stunned.
Zheng Hesong pulled up a video and said, "See for yourself."
-
The time showed three o'clock in the morning.
Li Zhibai went to the bathroom at night, but maybe because he was too sleepy, he didn't find his own room when he came back, and went directly into Qin Zhibai's room next door.
He lay down on Qin Zhibai's bed, pulled the blanket off Qin Zhibai's body and covered himself with it, not realizing that there was someone next to him.
Then, Qin Zhibai woke up with a shudder.
Under the night vision camera, Qin Zhibai's expression was very clear even in the dark.
His whole body was stiff, he dared not move, and his eyes shifted cautiously to the side.
Li Zhenzhen could tell from that expression that Qin Zhibai was probably scared.
"Who is it?" Qin Zhibai asked in a low voice.
Li Zhibai was already dozing off when he suddenly heard someone ask, "Who is it?" He subconsciously replied, "Your father."
Then he himself was startled.
who?
He sat up suddenly.
Qin Zhibai suddenly seemed to be greatly frightened, and suddenly let out a loud roar "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh——"
He actually rolled directly under the bed, "Ghost, help me——"
This shout was so loud that Li Zhi's head was about to burst open.
At the same time, several other rooms responded.
Seeing this, Li Zhenzhen realized that Zheng Hesong had actually cut together the shots from other rooms.
Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang turned on the lights almost at the same time, looking confused and puzzled.
Peng Zhixing immediately got out of bed, opened the door, and shouted, "What's wrong?"
The girls upstairs.
Song Linxin and Xiao Yun woke up at the same time, and subconsciously hugged each other, their faces full of fear.
"What?"
"Did I just hear a cry?"
"ghost?"
"Don't scare me."
The two little girls spoke tremblingly and looked around in fear.
Among all the people, only Mengli heard nothing and did not react because she was sleeping with earplugs.
Then, five minutes later, everyone except Meng Li gathered in Qin Zhibai's room.
It was the middle of the night and everyone looked sleepy, as if they had not yet woken up.
Qin Zhibai came back to his senses and became his usual expressionless self again.
After listening to the two of them explain the whole process and knowing that it was just a commotion caused by Li Zhibai going to the toilet in the middle of the night and returning to the wrong room, everyone didn't know what to say.
Peng Zhixing sighed helplessly.
"Okay, then everyone go back to sleep. We have to get up early tomorrow."
"Why don't you just not get up so early?" Song Linxin suggested weakly.
Li Zhibai: "I second the motion."
Lu Yanhe also yawned.
Seeing everyone like this, Peng Zhixing nodded and said, "Then let's gather again at ten o'clock."
"Yeah!" Song Linxin made a "yeah" gesture happily.
Xiao Yun also smiled happily.
Yan Liang yawned and glanced at Qin Zhibai who remained silent. He really didn't expect that this aloof young man was actually so timid.
The roar that seemed to tear the sky apart is still ringing in my ears.
Looking at him now, wow, he has turned back into that expressionless and cold boy.
Yan Liang was just thinking about it when Li Zhibai started to complain: "Xiaobai, you are so timid?"
Qin Zhibai's eyes were full of resentment, and he seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.
Xiao Yun said, "What are you talking about? If you hadn't walked into the wrong room, Xiaobai wouldn't have been so scared."
"I wasn't scared." Qin Zhibai said.
The others looked at him silently.
Qin Zhibai emphasized: "Really, I was just reacting to stress and wanted to scare the ghost away."
Now even Peng Zhixing couldn't help but smile.
"Let's go, let's go to bed."
Seeing that no one paid any attention to him, Qin Zhibai moved his mouth, as if he wanted to explain himself a few more times, but no one else wanted to listen, so he could only give up in disappointment.
-
After watching the video, Li Zhenzhen looked at Zheng Hesong in disbelief.
Zheng Hesong spread his hands, smiled, and said, "You didn't expect it, did you?"
"I really didn't expect Qin Zhibai to be so frightened. The contrast is quite big."
Zheng and Song said, "This part is interesting, much more interesting than the games they played all night."
Li Zhenzhen said, "Nothing else happened afterwards, right?"
"No more." Zheng Hesong shook his head.
Li Zhenzhen said, "You go and rest. I'll watch over here."
Zheng Hesong yawned, picked up the half-empty cup of coffee, and said, "I'll have breakfast before going to bed. When will breakfast be delivered?"
He turned around and asked the other person.
"I've already bought it and it's on the way."
After watching the video edited by Zheng He and Song, Li Zhenzhen finally felt a little relieved.
During this segment last night, Li Zhenzhen finally saw something real and soulful in these people.
This kind of instant reaction is the most difficult to fake.
Zheng and Song were happy because they had filmed some interesting footage, but Li Zhenzhen was happy because she saw that these young people finally stopped "talking and doing things" in the way of a "reality show."
-
Lu Yanhe woke up at 7:30.
Even though he went to bed late and woke up in the middle of the night, his biological clock was to wake him up at this time.
After Lu Yanhe washed up, he glanced out the window.
The weather is very good today, the sun is shining brightly, and it is another sunny day.
There was an unread message on his phone from his counselor Chen Shiqiu, whom he had just added yesterday.
Chen Shiqiu sent him a message inviting him to join the group chat.
The group chat is a freshman group for their level.
Lu Yanhe replied "OK" and joined the group chat.
Chen Shiqiu said in surprise: You get up very early.
Lu Yanhe: Teacher Chen gets up even earlier.
Chen Shiqiu: I have to check the dormitories in the morning.
Lu Yanhe was a little surprised. Ah, do we have to check dormitories in college?
Chen Shiqiu asked again: When do you plan to report?
Lu Yanhe said: September 2nd.
Chen Shiqiu: Okay, I’ll wait for you to come over.
Lu Yanhe: Thank you, Teacher Chen.
-
Lu Yanhe read for a while and went downstairs at 8:30. The first floor was still empty and there was no one there.
There was no movement in the group.
The gathering time is ten o'clock, and I guess everyone is still sleeping.
Lu Yanhe prepared to make breakfast for himself.
I'm a little hungry.
There is a lot of food in the refrigerator, almost everything.
Lu Yanhe was too lazy to bother, so he prepared a bowl of noodles for himself. He turned on the fire to boil water, took out the noodles, and fried an egg for himself in another pan.
Mengli came down at this time.
Lu Yanhe heard footsteps and looked back.
Meng Li saw him and greeted him: "Good morning."
"Good morning." Lu Yanhe realized that his smile was a little stiff, and immediately added with a smile, "Sister Meng Li, are you awake so early?"
"Didn't they say we'd meet at 8 o'clock? I woke up at 7, and then I saw that the meeting time had been changed to 10 o'clock."
"Everyone was awakened last night."
"Huh?" Meng Li was the only one who hadn't woken up, and had no idea what was going on. "What do you mean?"
Lu Yanhe briefly explained what happened last night.
Meng Li: "I was wearing earplugs when I slept, so I didn't hear anything at all."
Lu Yanhe: "Are you a light sleeper?"
"Well, I always wear earplugs when I sleep, otherwise I can't sleep well." Meng Li explained.
Seeing the water boiling, Lu Yanhe asked, "Sister Mengli, have you had breakfast? I'm going to make some noodles. Would you like some too?"
"Thank you, but I don't want any. I don't dare eat carbohydrates." Meng Li waved her hand, walked to the refrigerator, opened it and took a look. "I'll just have an apple."
Lu Yanhe was shocked and asked, "Is one apple enough?"
"It's not enough, but I have no choice but to eat like this," Meng Li said. "I have to join a new crew later, so I can't get fat."
"Okay." When Lu Yanhe heard that he was going to join the group, he stopped talking.
"Will you join the group later?"
"meeting."
Meng Li asked: "Which group do you want to join?"
"It hasn't been made public yet," said Lu Yanhe.
Before the crew officially announced it, Lu Yanhe didn't want to announce it himself.
Chen Ziyan said that everything is subject to change before the filming officially starts.
If I tell it now, it will be so embarrassing when it turns out that he is not the one who will be with me.
Besides, Chen Lingling also said that his plan to act in "Phoenix Terrace" could not be disclosed to the public in the early stages.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Meng Li curled her lips and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, as if she suddenly remembered something, she said, "Do you like acting?"
"I like it, I like it very much."
"You feel this way after just one play?"
"Yeah." Lu Yanhe nodded. "I'm lucky. My first film made me fall in love with acting."
Meng Li's expression was a little surprised and complicated at this moment.
Lu Yanhe felt that she seemed to have something to say, but of course, Meng Li said nothing in the end.
Lu Yanhe put the noodles into the pot to cook and prepared a bowl with very skillful movements.
Seeing this, Meng Li asked, "Do you usually cook for yourself?"
"I rarely cook, but I cook noodles more often," Lu Yanhe said. "That's the most convenient."
“Wouldn’t it be more convenient to order takeout?”
"I don't have much money, so it's more economical to do it myself." Lu Yanhe admitted frankly.
Meng Li once again showed an expression of confusion and surprise.
"You've been in the industry for several years, and you don't even have money to order takeout?" Meng Li subconsciously thought that Lu Yanhe said this just to act pitiful in front of the camera and raised a question.
Lu Yanhe heard the doubt in her voice.
He smiled helplessly and said, "Before June this year, I had almost no work."
-
Lu Yanhe didn't want to play the victim, but after careful consideration, he thought it was the right thing to do to tell the truth about everything he had experienced.
He has an uncle who might jump out and accuse him at any moment.
He also has an enemy or enemies whose identities are unknown.
To let others think that his past was happy and rosy is to lie and will do him no good.
Lu Yanhe knew that his character flaw was that he was too serious - he could not act as recklessly as Li Zhibai.
So, let everyone know his past clearly.
The weak are always more likely to gain the audience's sympathy than the strong.
The strong are always more likely to be admired by the audience than the weak.
Lu Yanhe is only nineteen years old now, so it is easier for him to get the former.
Chen Ziyan once said that as an artist, you can be aloof, but don’t be aloof in front of the audience.
The audience has the final say on everything you do.
At that time, they discussed that if there was a suitable opportunity, Lu Yanhe might as well talk about his past.
-
"I wasn't really that popular back then, and the fans I gained from participating in competitions gradually left," Lu Yanhe said. "I don't know if you've seen the videos of me participating in competitions and later on some shows, but back then I was the type who didn't dare to say a word."
Meng Li: "I did see some of that before I came here. Were you quite self-conscious back then?"
"A little bit." Lu Yanhe nodded. "But my behavior at that time wasn't caused by low self-esteem. It was because I often couldn't understand what you were saying. I couldn't fit in, so I had to stay alone."
Meng Li saw Lu Yanhe put the cooked noodles into the bowl, mix them evenly, bring it to the dining table and sit down.
She sat on a chair nearby and asked, "How did you change? You are indeed very different now."
"If I don't change, I'll be doomed." A glimmer of light appeared in Lu Yanhe's eyes. "I had already reached that point, so I had no choice but to force myself to change."
Meng Li looked at Lu Yanhe thoughtfully.
-
Chen Mo is prejudiced against Lu Yanhe.
If you ask why Chen Mo entered this industry and became a PD of a variety show, Chen Mo would say that it was because she had loved watching these shows since she was a child.
It's not a lie, but it's not true enough.
The real reason was that Chen Mo’s grades were very poor and he dropped out of school before even finishing high school.
Such academic qualifications are simply not enough to support her in finding a decent job.
She worked in many places, but never for long, until she joined Chen Biqiu's team.
You don't need a degree to make a show, you just need to be able to sacrifice your life and devote yourself to it. There is no day or night, it's completely reversed.
When Chen Mo found out she was going to be Lu Yanhe's PD, she was actually quite disgusted. She didn't like Lu Yanhe because he was too positive. Chen Mo didn't like this kind of artist, who was hardworking, positive, and optimistic, and was liked by mainstream values.
In Chen Mo's mind, this kind of artist has no humanity.
Chen Mo likes artists who have attitude and self-identity.
Even if it's just a grain of sand.
Meng Li is selfish, acts crazy, and has a lot of shortcomings, but she is dramatic enough and never tries to portray herself as a perfect goddess.
This is the most disgusting thing about Chen Mo.
Following Lu Yanhe and watching his footage from yesterday to today, Chen Mo was filled with rejection deep down in his heart.
Until Lu Yanhe said, "If you don't change, there is only one way out, and that is death."
He Zhong, a photographer in the same group as her, was sitting next to her, eating a bowl of instant noodles.
He Zhong was also wearing headphones and heard what Lu Yanhe said.
He Zhong curled his lips and said, "These eighteen or nineteen-year-old kids really dare to say anything. Wherever they go, they're doomed."
Chen Mo glanced at him and said nothing.
If Chen Mo dislikes Lu Yanhe because of his own upbringing, He Zhong simply dislikes these artists.
He has a dislike for all entertainers.
Many people have an illusion that people who work in this industry all like this industry.
But this is not the case.
Everyone is here to make a living and earn money. Many times, there is no question of like or dislike. They do not have the capital to choose a job based on their own preferences.
-
Perhaps because too many unexpected things happened on the first day of filming, everyone from the program crew to the artists had the mentality that "something might happen at any time" for the subsequent filming. However, nothing happened, and the subsequent recording suddenly became normal.
Meng Li did not go crazy again, and Li Zhibai also controlled his temper and did not confront Meng Li again.
We went out to the supermarket together, ate and drank, played games and chatted in the "Young People's House".
Peng Zhixing played the role of intermediary and there were many topics for discussion.
Lu Yanhe didn't expect that chatting would become the main content of this program.
Because it does not have the main tasks of ordinary programs and there is no burden, everyone in the Youth House specifically finds something to do, plays various games, and then chats between games, which has become the main content of this program.
The information density is very high.
Spending time together like this day and night, it's hard not to get familiar with each other quickly.
However, such interactions can easily lead to fatigue, because all they have to say and can say will dry up after two or three days.
The program requires a lot of information. A group of people cannot do their own things, nor can they always do repetitive things.
The first recording session lasted five days, and by the third day, everyone was a bit out of things to do.
Without a main quest, everyone would get bored staying in this house every day.
On the morning of the fourth day, everyone sat together, but there was really nothing to do. In the end, everyone held their phones and did their own things.
It was not until this time that Li Zhenzhen finally appeared again.
During the previous few days of recording, Li Zhenzhen basically did not appear. According to her request, the staff of the program team should disappear from the world of these artists as much as possible, so that they can only rely on themselves.
Li Zhenzhen said: "In the past few days, everyone has been getting familiar with each other. You may be confused because we haven't given you any tasks or scripts. You don't know what to do in the show. In fact, we have always been committed to the concept of handing all the initiative to the guests. We only do the filming."
Li Zhibai said: "But now everyone is quite bored, there is nothing to do, every day is just eating, drinking and playing games."
Li Zhenzhen nodded and said, "Yes, so from now on, our director team has decided to change our thinking."
"Huh?" The others were stunned.
Li Zhenzhen said: "Starting today, we will assign tasks to everyone, and everyone needs to earn living expenses by completing the tasks."
Everyone was stunned and looked at Li Zhenzhen in surprise.
Li Zhenzhen said: "We didn't want to do this originally, but now it seems that if we don't do this, we won't be able to shoot any usable footage later."
Li Zhenzhen's words made the artists look at each other in surprise.
As soon as Li Zhenzhen left, Peng Zhixing spread his hands helplessly and said, "It seems that they have discovered our boredom too."
Lu Yanhe had never recorded a reality show before, and he didn't know what the recording scene of a reality show looked like. Without comparison, he thought that reality shows were like this.
Li Zhibai was not surprised at all.
"If they don't adjust their filming strategy, there will be nothing left to film for this show."
Obviously, Li Zhibai had long felt that there was something wrong with the current recording.
-
Half an hour later, they will gather again on the first floor, and Li Zhenzhen will announce the tasks assigned to them by the program team.
The director team reminded them to change into clothes that would be convenient for working outside.
This reminder surprised everyone.
Work? What kind of work?
Although they were confused, everyone still went to change their clothes obediently.
In fact, there is nothing much for boys to change. They are already wearing shorts and short-sleeved shirts, and a pair of sneakers, so they can do anything.
But Lu Yanhe was just about to receive a piece of mail.
Xin Zixing sent him a message saying that she had sent him an email regarding the recording plan for the next episode of "City Travelogue".
Lu Yanhe opened his laptop and tried to download the email attachment, but it showed that the network signal was weak and he couldn't download it for half a day.
Lu Yanhe could only let it rain here for now.
Half an hour later, the email attachment still hadn't been downloaded.
Lu Yanhe had no choice but to give up and go downstairs to meet everyone.
Almost everyone changed into shorts and sneakers, only Mengli still insisted on wearing an exquisite short skirt and high heels.
"Mengli, are you really okay like this?" Peng Zhixing asked, "Didn't the director team just tell us to change into work clothes?"
Meng Li shook her head and said, "I won't do it. I'm not here to work. I'm here to look pretty."
This remark left everyone at a loss for words.
Li Zhenzhen came out and saw what Meng Li was wearing. She was obviously stunned and looked a little surprised.
Li Zhenzhen asked, "Is this all you're wearing?"
Meng Li: "I'm just wearing this, what's wrong?"
Li Zhenzhen shook her head and didn't say much. She had reminded him anyway.
"Today's assignment is to go fishing," Li Zhenzhen said. "There's a reservoir nearby. We've arranged for someone to teach you how to fish. You need to catch twenty fish on your own to earn tomorrow's living expenses."
Lu Yanhe asked, "What if we don't catch twenty fish?"
"Then everyone will only have steamed buns to eat tomorrow," said Li Zhenzhen.
Lu Yanhe: “…”
You can still survive, though.
"That's fine." Lu Yanhe breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought you wouldn't give us any food."
Yan Liang nodded and said, "The steamed buns sound good. They're only for one day. Our first recording session will be over tomorrow, so we don't need to eat them for too long."
"It sounds true. Even if it doesn't taste good, you only have to endure it for one day." Song Linxin said.
The artists' reactions were completely beyond Li Zhenzhen's expectations.
In Li Zhenzhen's expectation, these artists could not bear to eat only steamed buns.
Now everyone says they can tolerate it?
Li Zhenzhen smiled helplessly.
Peng Zhixing said: "We will still work hard to complete the task and try to eat better. I don't want to just eat steamed buns."
"I don't want to eat steamed buns either." Fortunately, Xiao Yun raised his hand pitifully, "Everyone, try your best and catch twenty fish."
Under the arrangement of the program team, a group of people left the Young People's House and headed to a nearby reservoir.
Their photographer hurried after them.
Chen Mo did not follow.
She told Zheng Hesong, "I'm going to change the batteries and memory card for the cameras in Lu Yanhe's room. He Zhong just said that the batteries in the cameras in Lu Yanhe's room will only last until nine o'clock tonight."
Zheng Hesong nodded.
Chen Mo went upstairs with his tool kit.
-
Lu Yanhe didn't know what was so interesting about taking pictures of fishing in the reservoir.
However, Meng Li created the biggest joke.
While everyone was learning fishing skills from the master hired by the program team, she was the only one posing for photos by the reservoir.
She said confidently, "If you ask me to fish, I definitely won't be able to catch anything. You guys go ahead and fish."
No one cared about her attitude. As long as she didn't go crazy like she did on the first day, she could do whatever she wanted.
A group of people were sitting by the reservoir fishing. The sun was shining brightly and the temperature was very high. Lu Yanhe could only feel the sweat pouring down his body.
Just at this moment, the cell phone suddenly rang.
Lu Yanhe answered the phone immediately.
"Hey, Sister Zixing, I haven't been able to download the attachment of the email you just sent me, but my internet connection is poor here." Lu Yanhe said, "I haven't seen it yet."
Xin Zixing said, "It's okay, there's no rush. I just want to tell you that the Jiang Zhi episode is about to be aired online."
Lu Yanhe was surprised and asked, "Is the later stage so fast?"
"Well, we want to go online quickly before the summer vacation is over," said Xin Zixing.
Her idea is actually to attract a group of tourists to Jiangzhi through this film.
If the documentary "City Travelogue" is to produce something, word of mouth is one thing, and being able to bring real money and feedback to the city is another.
The success of the Langhua chapter is that it aroused great interest in the city of Langhua among many people, and various search data soared.
Whether "City Travel Notes" is a flash in the pan or can be truly and long-term, the Jiang Zhi chapter is crucial.
"We'd still like to ask you to share this and promote it. Also, we'd like to collaborate with your livestream and do a promotional livestream. Is that okay?" Xin Zixing said. "Jiangzhi Culture and Tourism has some agricultural product support projects, and we'd like to do a promotional event in conjunction with this program."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yanhe said, "Sure, but I've never done anything like this before."
Xin Zixing said: "If you are ok with this, I will find a team to do it and contact your live broadcast platform."
"OK."
Xin Zixing: "Yan He, thank you so much. This show has been bothering you all the time."
"Sister Zixing, let's not be so polite. I also like this program. Let's work together to make it last a long time."
After hanging up the phone, Li Zhibai asked him, "Did Xin Zixing call you?"
"Well, the second episode of "City Travel Notes" is about to be broadcast." Lu Yanhe said.
Li Zhibai: "Do you plan to continue doing this program?"
"I'm planning on it." Lu Yanhe nodded. "I told you, I really like this show."
Li Zhibai asked, "What about 'Young Days'? You've been recording this show for a few days now. How do you feel about it?"
Lu Yanhe pondered for a moment and said, "I don't feel much yet."
"Is it what you imagined?"
"It's a little different," Lu Yanhe said. "I originally imagined this show would be like a group outing, where we could meet lots of new friends. But after getting here, I'm basically still with you and Yan Liang, just like usual."
"Well, since we all acted together," Li Zhibai said, "it's really not very interesting to record these days."
Lu Yanhe: "However, I think there is actually another very important reason."
"What's the reason?"
"You and Meng Li had such a big scene on the first day. Even though you two reconciled inexplicably later, we still felt a little awkward. We didn't know how to face you two. Whenever you two were present, we would always consider your feelings." Lu Yanhe sighed and said, "At least I felt that way. I suddenly felt a little nervous and didn't know how to deal with everyone."
Li Zhibai glanced at Lu Yanhe and said, "What's the hurry?"
"I haven't asked you yet, why did you suddenly reconcile with Meng Li?"
"Instead of reconciling, keep quarreling?" Li Zhibai gave Lu Yanhe a look and gestured to the microphone on Lu Yanhe's body.
Lu Yanhe closed his mouth silently.
After a while, Li Zhibai said again: "I'm really not happy with the recording. Just keep going. Once this recording is finished, we won't come to record next time."
"What nonsense! We have already signed the contract, how could we not come to record?" Lu Yanhe said.
Li Zhibai: "I really don't want to record it, but there's always a way."
"Don't be so impulsive. This is our first reality show after all. How can we just say we don't want to do it?" Lu Yanhe said, "Just keep doing it. I'm not unhappy about it."
"Ah——" Meng Li screamed.
Everyone looked in surprise and saw that Meng Li didn't know what was going on. He lost his balance and fell into the reservoir.
"Oh my god!" Peng Zhixing was the first to drop the fishing rod in his hand and jump down.
Li Zhibai was the second one.
He jumped in too and dived into the water.
Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang hurriedly ran to the place where Meng Li fell into the water.
Everyone in the program crew was stunned.
The water in the reservoir is very deep, and falling in is no joke.
Lu Yanhe breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Zhibai and Peng Zhixing capture Meng Li.
The production crew did not prepare life jackets, but fortunately there were long bamboo poles and a boat nearby.
After Meng Li was rescued, his face was pale and he was trembling.
It was now impossible to continue fishing, so the group returned to the "Young People's House".
It's a mess.
The girls went to accompany Mengli and comfort her.
Li Zhenzhen is there too.
Lu Yanhe and the others were sitting in the living room downstairs, looking at each other.
"Why did she suddenly fall down?" he asked Qin Zhibai.
When Meng Li fell into the water, Qin Zhibai was closest to her.
Qin Zhibai said, "It seems like I missed a step."
Lu Yanhe said: "Fortunately, she is fine. She was rescued in time."
Yan Liang also nodded and said, "Yes, fortunately nothing happened."
Two hours later, Meng Li's agent Li Xia arrived.
Li Xia was furious, like an angry lion.
As soon as she arrived, she was extremely angry with the production team.
"How could your production team be so careless? They actually let Meng Li fall into such danger!"
"If something really happens to Mengli, can you bear any responsibility?"
"We're not going to record this show anymore!" Li Xia was furious. "If we keep recording, will the next time I see Meng Li be in the hospital?!"
Li Xia took Meng Li away in a very forceful manner. This time, there was no hesitation or intention to negotiate. (End of this chapter)
