Two hundred pounds of watermelons isn't a lot, but it's not a small amount either. After a round of harvesting, there were practically no watermelons left in the field. Xu Peng, used to farm work, didn't feel anything, but Zhang Ze was drenched in sweat, his clothes completely soaked, his strong muscles exposed as he slumped on the ground, panting heavily.

Xu Peng didn't let Zhang Ze worry about loading the watermelons onto the truck anymore. He carried them all up himself. Each watermelon weighed seven or eight pounds, and there were less than thirty of them. It only took about ten minutes to load them onto the truck. Seeing that Zhang Ze didn't want to move at all, Xu Peng thought about it and decided to let it go.

"Teacher Zhang, would you like some more watermelon? You look quite tired, you should rest a bit more!"

Zhang Ze waved his hand, "No need, let's hurry back. We'll take the watermelon back and eat it together. Teacher Chen and Teacher Huang are busy right now, so we should go back and help them as soon as possible. Isn't there a guest coming over tonight? We need to finish early so we can prepare dinner. Everyone's waiting for this watermelon to go back and exchange for some food. That damn director, why is he so annoying?"

Seeing that Zhang Ze didn't seem to be lying, Xu Peng nodded, "Okay, let's do as Teacher Zhang says. I'll drive slowly later, and if Teacher Zhang feels uncomfortable, just call out and I'll stop immediately."

"Okay, drive slowly. There are still so many watermelons in this car. It's safer to drive slowly. I'm fine."

Zhang Ze breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the kid would know there were so many watermelons in the car, but still try to kill himself by running away at the last minute. That would be a real disaster for him, and he really couldn't afford to be hurt like that!

Xu Peng kept his promise and parked the car steadily at the gate of the yard. He laughed with Chen, Huang Guang, and Mu Yu, who had rushed over after hearing the commotion, and said, "Basically, all the melons in the field have been picked. The rest are just for quenching thirst, so there's no point in picking any more. Therefore, there won't be any income from the melon field in the future."

Chen He waved his hand, "We'll talk about that later. You're all tired. Bring in a couple of melons for dinner tonight, and have some drinks."

Xu Peng was the main player today, busy all day without a break. Everyone saw this and felt sorry for him, but they appreciated him even more. Diligent children are always likable, as has always been the case.

"Are all the beds upstairs made? Should we move some more bricks up?"

"No need, everything is already laid out. You just need to rest."

Mu Yu held up a glass of chilled black tea that she had just taken out of the refrigerator. "Teacher Zhang, Brother Xu, quickly have some drinks to cool off. You're going to pick melons in this blazing sun, don't get heatstroke."

After thanking them, Zhang Ze and Xu Peng accepted the iced tea. Although they had already eaten a watermelon, they were still incredibly thirsty after so long. The refreshing feeling of drinking a bottle of iced tea was indescribable.

Chen and Huang Guang sat with them for a while before continuing to build the stove in the kitchen. There was too much to do that afternoon, and the two of them didn't have much time to rest. If they didn't finish their work now, they would have to prepare dinner later, and how could they cook without a stove?

Mu Yu also did what she could. In the production team, Mu Yu was positioned as a girl next door, doing what she could, such as picking and washing vegetables and helping out. Xu Peng was the laborer, carrying things wherever needed. Compared to the benefits he received, this effort was nothing. Being a regular guest on a phenomenal variety show was of great significance to his future development!

Mu Yu is still a newcomer, but being a newcomer doesn't mean she doesn't have a manager who understands the ins and outs. Although the manager wasn't optimistic about the variety show from the beginning, the company's strong promotion and Hunan TV's high-stakes contract made the manager take it seriously. Anyway, Mu Yu is naturally well-behaved, and this is just her true self. She doesn't need to act. Besides, Mu Yu is just a singer; she can't fake it even if she wanted to.

Fang Yang only had time to check the live stream after his lunch break. It happened to be the part where Xu Peng was letting loose and driving the tractor. Seeing Zhang Zesheng looking utterly hopeless as Xu Peng tormented him, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. This scene would attract a lot of attention in any variety show; it would definitely be a highlight.

The number of viewers in the live stream has already reached over 20 million, and this is only the first day. It is believed that such a result will undoubtedly surpass existing variety shows. As an innovative outdoor live variety show, the first to try this kind of thing will undoubtedly enjoy more attention, which can be seen from the current number of viewers.

If the number of viewers in the live broadcast room cannot be compared horizontally, then the ratings of Hunan TV in the evening can provide a direct comparison. Fang Yang believes that with the current number of viewers and the explosive popularity of the topic online, even those who don't understand it will have their own judgment. And those who don't have time to watch the live broadcast during the day will definitely choose to watch "Back to Field" in the evening after being recommended by their friends. There is no doubt about that!

As the chief planner, this variety show alone is enough to make Fang Yang famous in the industry, and Yuewen Entertainment Media will also be able to carve out a path in the variety show industry. In the future, whenever someone mentions variety shows, Yuewen Entertainment Media will be an insurmountable obstacle.

The entire Yuewen Entertainment Media office building was bustling with activity that day. The successful premiere of their first variety show had everyone elated. Apart from a few film and television works that were being filmed, the company's other work had been stagnant in the first half of the year, which made everyone feel a sense of crisis.

Although the music department maintains a pace of one album per month, it can only make a small profit. For such a large company, this is just a drop in the bucket. The biggest hope is still pinned on a few film and television works. As for this variety show, although we had heard of it before, no one took it seriously. A new field always has too many variables. Until the very last moment, no one knows what the outcome will be.

However, this variety show, which was not well-received, was bought by Hunan TV, which was considered foolish and rich. This result not only shocked the employees of Yuewen Entertainment Media, but also left many TV stations across the country who had participated in the bidding speech speechless. How could Hunan TV be so optimistic about an outdoor slow variety show, which was also a live variety show where live broadcast accidents could happen at any time?

Just when everyone was waiting to see Yuewen Entertainment Media and Hunan TV make a fool of themselves, today's live broadcast turned out to be a slap in the face to everyone. In less than half a day, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room exceeded 20 million. Manufacturers and film and television companies rushed to Yuewen Entertainment Media's door, and huge sums of money flowed into Yuewen Entertainment Media. How can anyone bear this?

All the company's top executives have been grinning from ear to ear all day. They never expected that a variety show costing only a few million would generate revenue tens or even hundreds of times that amount. And this is just the beginning. As a variety show exclusively operated by Yuewen Entertainment Media, the subsequent revenue will be astronomical. Anyone would be excited!
