Chapter 541: All in vain

"Besides, how have I failed to respect you?

I was just telling the truth, and before anything happened, you guys started making a scene. "Di Guoliang crossed his arms and said bluntly:

“I don’t think that my arrival is worth the effort of your Zhong family to prepare so many meals, nor do I think you are tired of talking every day, as if you were a leader giving a speech on stage.

What does this mean?

That means you knew in advance that this was a show and wanted to be on the screen, so you went to the trouble to put all this together, as if I were such an important guest. "

No one expected that he could guess the truth, and they all tried to defend themselves with grim expressions.

Zhong Meixin said first: "We signed a confidentiality agreement with the program team. I can't possibly breach the agreement and leak the information. So my family didn't know about this at all. Otherwise, how could your grandma be so frightened and fainted when she heard that the show was being filmed at home?"

"Liangzi, we really don't know." Zhong Erjinzi followed up and said, "Brother-in-law rarely comes home, and every time he comes we prepare a large table of delicious food.

What's more, there is a special little guest like you in our family.

We Shanghainese people value our reputation, so we will naturally treat you lavishly."

Old man Zhong couldn't sit still and came out of the house, saying with a serious face: "Our family is very traditional. As long as we are not in a hurry, we will recall the good and bad times, so as not to let the younger generation forget the leaders of the organization and so many soldiers and workers who shed blood and sweat.

However, the children at home are young and cannot understand the gratitude of the adults for their current good life.

But you can tell from their expressions that they have heard what we said so many times that they can almost recite it by heart.

What does this show? It shows that our family is not formalistic at all, but truly follows the pace of the organization and has a high level of spiritual awareness.

Of course, children are young and have not yet settled down, so it is inevitable that they will make mistakes.”

Di Guoliang nodded.

He finally understood why his brother's life was so hard. It was because the Zhong family did a great job of saving face. No wonder the neighborhood committee hadn't come to inquire about his brother's affairs in the past four years.

Old Man Zhong thought that what he said had stopped Di Guoliang. He coughed and said, "We are devoted to the organization! I read newspapers, listen to the radio, and watch news programs every day, just to understand and keep up with the spirit and pace of the organization.

I will also pass on this spirit to everyone in my family.

But what’s going on with your program team?

You just recorded a program and put it on TV without our family’s consent!

What is this called? It's an infringement of our privacy and portrait rights.

Our whole family was terrified. My wife almost died! This is a very serious matter. You must give an explanation!"

As he was speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Everyone looked at each other and Zhong Erjinzi hurried to open the door.

"Hello, comrades. I am the person in charge of our column stationed in Shanghai and the director who is filming Di Guoliang. My name is Yue Wenming." A young man smiled politely and bowed slightly. "This is our cameraman and assistant."

"Hello," Aunt Zhong replied somewhat awkwardly and stepped aside to let them in.

The director and his team continued to greet the people in the room with a smile, and then stood next to Di Guoliang.

"Comrade Director, it's just right that you're here," Pei Donggang smiled and stepped forward, speaking on behalf of the Zhong family, "None of us knew you were filming a show, and now my mother-in-law is so frightened that she's almost seriously ill, and the others are also feeling very uncomfortable and uncomfortable about being exposed in front of the national audience.

Moreover, we feel that the broadcast of the program will affect our future lives.

I believe that the organization will not allow your program group to be so inhumane, so I also ask you to give us a reasonable explanation and compensation. "

The director nodded: "Comrade Pei Donggang, we have learned the whole story.

That's right. The "Fake Dad, Fake Mom" program team was defined as a public welfare program from the very beginning. Even if there are manufacturers as sponsors that generate a profit, our Tomorrow Culture Company will invest all of this profit into welfare institutions.

Moreover, the column was approved by the organization, and an agreement was signed with Comrade Zhong Meixin.

It can be said that we are a variety show, but also a large-scale real-life follow-up report.

These video materials will have a great impact on the educational concepts of Xia Huaguo audiences, and will also inspire students to deeply realize the importance of learning and lay a solid foundation for each step.

Naturally, it will also become the subject of research for some experts and scholars.”

He said in a calm voice: "Of course, we will delete some of the things that have a bad influence.

What the Shanghai public can watch is the edited version of the video. We will completely delete today's content, so you don't have to worry about the impact."

Everyone was stunned. "No," Zhong Dajinzi asked anxiously, "Comrade Director, what do you mean? Are you saying that we worked in vain today? We can't even be on TV and let our relatives and friends see it?"

She was outspoken and asked them directly what they were thinking.

Everyone coughed to remind her.

The director hummed: "How about letting the neighbors see that while your family supports the organization and follows the spirit of the country, you can still raise a child who casually looks through other people's bags?

Old Mrs. Zhong was clearly fainted on the ground, but you just cried, but none of you actually thought of sending her to the hospital.

Such a thing that cannot stand up to scrutiny is put on the screen, so that neighbors can tell whether it is true or not?"

"Comrade Director, you can't just accuse us of something just because you favor Liangzi!" Zhong Erjinzi recovered and quickly explained, "Our family is a bit more proud, and our children are naughty and ignorant. Which family's children have never secretly taken their parents' money?

This isn't a big deal, is it?

Don't you edit it before playing it?

In fact, we can just show a few pictures on TV.”

They all nodded, "We represent the majority of Shanghai families, at least the dishes on the table are authentic Shanghai dishes..."

"Some of the things we said were very educational..."

"I've experienced a lot in my life, and what I talk about at the dinner table are the most essential parts of educating the younger generation..."

The director shook his head in embarrassment: "No, the program requires authenticity and completeness.

We can’t overly glorify anyone, nor will we deliberately speak ill of anyone. One is one, two is two. This is a very serious matter of principle! "

Everyone is in a dilemma. On the one hand, they can appear on the screen, but their image is not completely perfect. They may even be labeled with bad labels such as hypocritical, snobbish, etc., and these labels will follow them for a long time.

On the one hand, they were completely edited out of the show, as if nothing had happened.
