Chapter 23 Village Dungeon Opening



After several months, the filming of "Phoenix Road" finally ended.

On the day of wrapping, Xie Zhen booked a big hotel and the whole crew gathered together for a lively wrap-up banquet.

The official account posted a set of wrap-up photos of everyone still in their costumes and making V-signs, and then tagged all the actors.

#皇途拍青# @桑小白@秦逸阳@乔伊伊呀哟@陈时@方昀, congratulations on the wrap! I hope we can have fun together again in the future!

Qiao Yiyi, Sang Bai and others quickly reposted the official Weibo, and fans also interacted in the comment section.

[Looking forward to Feng Ling, pointing the sword to the Phoenix Path! ]

[I want to see Xiao Huan sooner, drooling Qin Yiyang]

[Peerless beauty, coming for Yi! Qiao Yiyi, you are the perfect match for Tang Yuan! Give you my love.jpg]

Qin Yiyang took a screenshot of the funny comments and sent them to the group, tagging Qiao Yiyi: Sister Yiyi, you are a bit overbearing as a fan.

After spending a few months together and finishing the filming, everyone was really reluctant to part ways, so they created a WeChat group and chatted in the group whenever they had time.

Sang Bai: "Do you have any announcements coming up?"

Qin Yiyang: "I might have to go into the adult entertainment industry. Sigh.jpg"

Qiao Yiyi: "What does it mean to go into the sea?"

Qin Yiyang was too embarrassed to say it, and hesitantly said, "It's just that... filming a dual male lead drama with another male actor."

Qiao Yiyi: "Oh~ I see. Slanted smile.jpg It seems that our little brother Yi Yang is about to open the door to a new world, hahahaha."

Qin Yiyang was helpless: "Sister Yiyi, please stop teasing me. I'm a straight man, a 24k pure straight man, straighter than a steel pipe and a 2B pencil!"

Sang Bai: "Hahaha, the more you explain, the more you cover up. Where's Sister Yiyi? What are you going to do next?"

Speaking of this, Qiao Yiyi also had a headache: "I'm going to the mountains."

Sang Bai and Qin Yiyang: "Ah?"

Qiao Yiyi: "The C City Animal Protection Association asked me to shoot a promotional documentary. The location is in the mountains, and I will be staying there for a while soon."

Sang Bai: "That's a good thing. This association is affiliated with the state, and they're said to be very careful in selecting candidates. They must be of good family background and positive energy. Sister Yiyi, you're amazing! Being selected by a national platform is something many artists wouldn't even dare to dream of."

This is exactly what Qiao Yiyi is in trouble for.

She knew that her abilities were average and her reputation wasn't very good. She was frequently on the negative search list, and no matter how you looked at it, she didn't seem to have any legitimate background.

Why did the Animal Protection Association choose her to shoot a promotional video? When netizens found out, they were probably going to attack her again.

Sure enough, not long after Qiao Yiyi received the invitation, the official Weibo account of the C City Conservation Association posted a Weibo post, carefully selecting several cute pictures of rare animals, and then tagged Qiao Yiyi.

#Care for wild animals and build a harmonious home together#, go into the wild with @乔依依呀哟@陆征lz and explore the diversity of life.

When netizens first saw this Weibo post, they thought they had misread it. After rereading it to confirm it was correct, someone asked the editor if his account had been hacked.

The editor in charge of new media operations was at a loss for words when he saw these comments, and could only patiently explain to everyone that there was no hacking and no wrong Weibo post.

Netizen: Then why did Qiao Yiyi sneak in?

Lu Zheng has always been committed to protecting the environment and caring for animals and plants. He even established a fund for animal and plant protection and donates annually, demonstrating his commitment to this cause. Why did Qiao Yiyi do this?

"I'd like to ask, Boss, did you do any research on Qiao Yiyi beforehand? A little research would have shown she couldn't possibly handle this kind of publicity."

I'm a casual fan of Qiao Yiyi, and I have a good impression of her, but she's definitely not in the right place in every way. You're being a bit hasty.

[It's over, it's over. Even you're chasing traffic. Destroy it. I'm tired.]

[If you don't change the cast, we won't watch this promotional video! ]

Qiao Yiyi: “…”

Although she is self-aware, she is not as bad as netizens say, right?

Of course, since the Animal Protection Association has already decided on the candidate, it will not easily change it unless there are special circumstances.

On a gray morning, Qiao Yiyi set out for City C.

The company had been incredibly busy lately, Zhao Anna was so busy she was nowhere to be seen, and even Baomei had been pulled away to train new employees. Qiao Yiyi had no choice but to leave Dough at her house while she headed to City C alone.

After the plane landed in City C, she had to change buses again. After several hours of travel, she finally arrived at the filming location, a remote village called Qingyuan Village.

The filming team hired a highly skilled documentary studio, and they planned to have the cast accompany local villagers as they explored the mountain, which nurtures the region's land and water. The filming process would be live-streamed, and the program would be recorded and edited into a complete film and released online.

It was drizzling at that time. Qiao Yiyi forgot to bring an umbrella when she went out, so she had to pull the suitcase with one hand while barely covering her eyes with her other hand.

From a distance, she saw a girl walking towards her: "Teacher Yiyi, nice to meet you."

Seeing that Qiao Yiyi was exhausted from the journey and her clothes were soaked by the drizzle, Lin Lin, the reception staff member, quickly held out an umbrella to her and helped her take the suitcase.

Qiao Yiyi thanked him and asked, "Am I the only one here?"

Lin Lin: "And Teacher Lu Zheng, he won't be here until later. I'll take you to your accommodation first. Take a hot shower and change your clothes."

Qiao Yiyi wiped the rain off her face and said, "Thank you for your help."

Because the filming location was a bit remote, Qiao Yiyi was arranged to live in a local farmer's house. This was to facilitate filming, and also to use the gimmick of a celebrity living in a farmer's house to arouse the interest of netizens.

Qingyuan Village is geographically remote, but its ecological environment is excellent and its products are abundant. The mountains are covered with dense forests, and I heard that there are many wild animals there. There is also a large lake nearby, which is now covered with a layer of mist under the drizzling rain, giving it a feeling of paradise on earth.

Qiao Yiyi followed Lin Lin through the scattered small houses and came to a house.

The house was a rare two-story self-built building with a small courtyard. A big dog was tied in front of the door. As soon as it saw a stranger, it pulled the leash and started barking wildly.

Lin Lin was frightened by the dog's vicious look and took two steps back. Then, someone came trotting out. A short, thin, middle-aged man with dark skin took off his shoes and pretended to hit the dog: "What are you yelling about? I'll hit you if you yell again!"

The big dog immediately stopped barking, lowered its head, and lay on the ground.

"Are you okay?" The middle-aged man turned to Qiao Yiyi and Lin Lin. "That's the bad thing about this dog: it barks at people. Actually, it's the most timid person. It wouldn't dare bite anyone if it really wanted to."

Seeing it looking at her aggrievedly, Qiao Yiyi inexplicably thought of her own dough and said with a smile, "It's okay. At least it proves that it is a competent gatekeeper. Your home is safe."

The big dog seemed to understand her words. The hostile look in its eyes suddenly softened. It raised its chin and its big tail began to wag.

Lin Lin recovered from her shock and remembered her official mission for the day. "Uncle Zhao, this is Miss Qiao Yiyi, the popular star we told you about earlier. Sister Yiyi, this is Zhao Zhonghe and Uncle Zhao. You'll be staying at Uncle Zhao's house for the duration of the filming."

Qiao Yiyi looked at Zhao Zhonghe and said, "Hello, Uncle Zhao. Sorry to bother you and your family."

Zhao Zhonghe scratched his head. Although the village chief told him that a film crew was coming to Qingyuan Village to shoot and that celebrities were going to stay at their house, he was still a little nervous when he actually saw them.

He smiled naively and said, "It's not a big deal, it's not a big deal. You've already given me so much money, so just stay here and enjoy yourself."

Qiao Yiyi thought that this uncle was really honest, so she said, "Then I won't be polite."

Because Lin Lin still had to contact the filming team, she asked Qiao Yiyi to rest here for a while and come to her later to tell her about tomorrow's filming.

Qiao Yiyi asked her to go and do her work first and she would take care of herself.

After Lin Lin left, Zhao Zhonghe's wife Li Chunhong warmly welcomed her in and arranged her in a room on the second floor that had been decorated in advance.

Qiao Yiyi took a hot bath and changed into fresh and clean clothes, then she heard the sound of her cell phone.

Qin Yiyang: "How is it, Sister Yiyi, how is life in the mountains?"

Qiao Yiyi walked to the window, took a photo of the foggy countryside, and sent it to the group: "Not bad, the air is good."

Sang Bai was a little surprised when he saw the scene in the photo: "You didn't stay in the hotel?"

Qiao Yiyi was at a loss for words: "We're already in the mountains, how can there be a hotel?"

Qin Yiyang: "Alas, Sister Yiyi has suffered. I just checked the information. This village is very poor and backward. The conditions are extremely difficult. The villagers seem to have little education... I don't know why they chose such a place."

Seeing that these two young ladies and young masters had never suffered hardship, Qiao Yiyi said helplessly: "We are just here to shoot a promotional video, not to travel. Why do we need such good conditions?"

Qin Yiyang: "That's true."

He made a distressed expression: "I'd rather go to the mountains now. It's better than being forced to have an ambiguous relationship with a grown man every day. Why did I agree to take this role in the first place?"

Sang Bai: "Hahaha, hold on, maybe you will be the new top star."

The three of them were chatting enthusiastically in the group.

Qiao Yiyi suddenly heard a quarrel coming from downstairs.

It was Li Chunhong: "I told you to study hard, but you're just messing around with inappropriate things all day long!"

Then a girl's unconvinced voice said, "What do you care?"

Li Chunhong: "What's with your attitude? How can you talk to your parents like that? Believe it or not, I'll smash all these things of yours!"

Girl: "I can destroy it, at worst I can just buy another one."

Li Chunhong: "You——"

Then I heard the sound of something falling heavily to the ground.

The girl didn't seem to expect that Li Chunhong would actually smash her things. She was stunned for a few seconds and then burst into tears.

Li Chunhong: "Why are you crying? There are guests at home!"

Along with the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs, Qiao Yiyi heard the door of the next room being slammed shut, and the intermittent crying of a girl due to poor sound insulation could be heard.

Qiao Yiyi's hand stayed on the door handle, not knowing whether she should go out to see what was going on.
