Zheng Lan stood up. "How do I chop this?"
Jiang Yixing stood the log upright, raised the axe, and with a strong thrust of his arm, created a whooshing sound.
The axe blade is positioned directly in the center of the round log.
With a click, under the watchful eyes of the two and the photographer.
The wood slowly cracked and eventually broke into two pieces.
Jiang Yixing moved extremely quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he had already split the large log into eight pieces.
Each piece is the perfect size, ideal for making firewood.
Li Yuxin chased after him out of the kitchen and saw a wonderful scene. She rushed over and exclaimed, "Yixing, you're amazing!"
Jiang Wuzhi's face lit up with excitement, "Jiang Yixing, thank goodness you're here this time."
Jiang Wuzhi expressed the sentiments of all the guests who participated in the program.
Seriously, this episode with Jiang Yixing was so awesome!
It went incredibly smoothly, like never before!
During the cooking segment that followed, Li Yuxin volunteered to show off her skills to Jiang Yixing.
Yue Feng was also very proactive. As a newcomer in the same cohort as Jiang Yixing, he thought he would be the one to take care of Jiang Yixing as a man, but he never expected to be constantly outshone.
Since I've finally encountered a segment I'm familiar with, of course I want to do my best to perform.
The other guests also honed their cooking skills thanks to their previous wilderness survival experiences.
Those who couldn't cook even took a class after the show's recording ended to prepare for the next episode.
As for Jiang Yixing himself…
I'm really not good at cooking.
Perhaps part of the reason she misses 21st-century cuisine is because of her own terrible cooking skills.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the group finally managed to cook a pot of rice using the somewhat unfamiliar earthen stove.
The food smelled delicious and was brought to the table in the living room.
Wild small fish have tender flesh and taste delicious after a simple braising. The greens are used to cook freshly picked mushrooms. The umami flavor of the mushrooms combined with the fresh aroma of the greens creates a unique flavor.
After everyone had a hearty meal, the production team finally arrived late with the mission rewards.
"Congratulations on successfully completing your first task. You've managed to eat lunch thanks to your intelligence. Here is your reward."
The director's tone carried a hint of resentment, which was collectively ignored by everyone.
After a busy morning, all they care about now is what their reward will be.
The director handed her a black bag, which Zheng Lan accepted, noting its considerable weight.
Upon opening it, I found it was a bag full of meat.
"Whoa!"
Everyone cheered.
The meat in the convenience store is very expensive; they can hardly get any by exchanging it themselves.
Just now Jiang Wuzhi was saying whether we would have to eat fish for three days, but now we have meat.
Jiang Wuzhi put his arm around the director's neck and said, "Director, this time it's good, it's authentic."
The director rolled his eyes inwardly. He had assumed they wouldn't get lunch and would probably not get any until evening, or even night, which was why he had prepared meat as a reward to prevent them from starving to death.
To their surprise, they actually got to eat lunch.
For tasks that can be assigned, the rewards must be honored.
The director reluctantly handed over the prepared fresh meat.
The afternoon passed by pleasantly; the temperature in the mountains was slightly lower, neither too hot nor too cold.
The group moved small stools and sat in the courtyard. From the gate, they could see the distant mountains.
In the height of summer, the mountains and forests are lush and green, with trees growing verdant and verdant.
The wind swept through the courtyard gate, dispelling all sorrow.
"It's so beautiful here."
"Yes, it's nice to live here."
"Look, isn't that the mountain we went to this morning?"
"Yes, it looks really good from a distance."
The group chatted casually, and when villagers occasionally walked by, Jiang Yixing acted as a translator, greeting them one by one on their behalf.
The production team could only stand there and watch as the group of people seemed so comfortable and at ease.
In the past, he would watch them make fools of themselves and laugh until his stomach hurt.
This time, they finally got to laugh at the production team.
Zheng Lan, Jiang Wuzhi, and Li Yuxin, the three people who were tortured the most by the production team, how could they let go of this good opportunity?
"Hahaha, oh dear, it's not good for us to sit here while the directors just stand around, is it?"
Jiang Wu waved his hand, "Oh! It's alright! The directors are very understanding!"
"This mission seems too easy?"
"Yes, yes, how come it's not difficult?"
"Look, we have nothing to do this afternoon."
The group sang in unison, making Jiang Yixing laugh as well.
The director next to him chuckled dryly without saying a word, secretly planning to give them a difficult task tomorrow!
Jiang Wuzhi came over and massaged Jiang Yixing's shoulders, saying, "We're so relaxed because of Comrade Jiang Yixing."
Li Yuxin followed over and massaged Jiang Yixing's legs, saying, "Yes! Jiang Yixing is our treasure!"
Zheng Lan clapped enthusiastically, "Clapping!"
Yue Feng followed behind and complained, "Ugh, being on the same show as Jiang Yixing makes me feel like a complete failure."
Jiang Yixing laughed loudly; the sunlight was just right, shining on her face.
"Comrades, you flatter me."
The photographer didn't miss a single shot. The background was a somewhat old house, and five handsome men and beautiful women were gathered together, chatting and laughing.
As the background is cut away, the figures gradually shrink, and the background becomes grander—green mountains and clear waters, the sun gradually setting in the west, creating a unique atmosphere of light and shadow.
After chatting for a while, the topic gradually shifted towards work.
After all, we're all in the entertainment industry, so our conversations are basically all about movies and TV series.
Zheng Lan mentioned a new film she is currently shooting, saying, "The filming environment was terrible. During a particularly hot period, we were wrapped in thick costumes and stood for the entire day. By the end of the day, our legs were terribly swollen."
Jiang Wu asked, "A new movie?"
"Yes, Director Zheng's The Vanished Murderer."
Jiang Yixing was somewhat surprised when the familiar term suddenly appeared.
Isn't this the movie Rong Hang said he's currently filming?
Zheng Lan then continued the conversation about Zheng Guiting's seriousness and meticulousness, saying, "Director Zheng, he is really responsible. He has to do every shot several times."
The others were all amazed; no one was unfamiliar with Zheng Guiting's name.
Every actor dreams of starring in a film directed by Zheng Guiting.
At this moment, the photographers were still working diligently.
Even though everyone was just chatting casually, they were still able to edit together some decent footage.
"I have a friend who seems to be filming this movie as well."
"Huh? Really? I think I've seen him before. Who is it?" Zheng Lan asked with interest.
The others also looked towards Jiang Yixing.
"This is his first film, and you probably haven't heard of him."
"Wow, your first film was directed by Zheng Guiting?"
"A newcomer?" Zheng Lan thought back to the newcomers in the casting list but couldn't find a suitable candidate.
Jiang Yixing waved and whispered, "Rong Hang."
"Ah, it's him."
