This episode of "Weekend We're Not Home" is set in a small mountain village in N City.
Logically speaking, living in the countryside for three days should be easier than living in some abandoned, unmanned factory.
But in reality, it's not as simple as it seems.
After making inquiries, Zhang Meng discovered that everyone here spoke a dialect, which he couldn't understand at all.
Furthermore, the show's production team specifically notified all agents that they could not use the actors' special status to obtain food or tools for free; everything had to be exchanged for equal value.
Zhang Meng was completely bewildered, especially after learning that no supplies would be provided initially for this episode.
In the past, the production team would provide enough food for the guests to survive for at least two days.
People in the entertainment industry are not afraid of going hungry. They can share food and endure it for three days.
But this time they're not giving us any supplies!
Before Zhang Meng and the other agents could even voice their demands, the program's vehicles had already picked up their artists from their hotel.
As soon as Jiang Yixing woke up, she was pulled into the car. She only had time to change her clothes, and her makeup was done in the car by a makeup artist provided by the program.
Jiang Yixing sat in the back row, surrounded by three people in the front row, holding up a camera and pointing it at her.
The cameraman smiled, fiddled with the camera, and prepared to find a good angle.
Seeing Jiang Yixing looking over, he grinned and said, "Don't worry, filming hasn't started yet."
They weren't that heartless; at least they could have waited for the actress to finish her makeup.
Jiang Yixing's black hair was draped behind her head, and her face, even without makeup, was flawless.
The makeup artist swept her face, and after the makeup, she looked even more energetic and radiant.
The photographer mouthed, "Let's start shooting."
Then the camera was turned on, and Jiang Yixing's face appeared in the lens.
Even the photographer, who was used to seeing celebrities, was stunned for a moment. This newcomer was really good-looking.
A staff member next to him took out a script and began to explain the rules for this episode.
"Your initial resource is an abandoned house, but luckily it's located in a small village with many elderly people. You can use your wits to trade with the villagers for food and other resources. Remember, you are just ordinary tourists, so please forget your celebrity status and don't use it to get preferential treatment. The production team will be keeping a close eye on you, and you will be punished if you violate the rules."
The staff members recited their lines while revealing sly smiles.
Jiang Yixing raised his hand and asked, "Is the only initial resource a house?"
Staff can disclose information regarding these settings-related questions.
"Yes."
Jiang Yixing stroked his chin. "Can you cook in this house?"
The staff member smiled and said, "Sure, we have a pot, but you'll have to figure out how to cook it yourself."
These celebrities have never used those rural earthen stoves before. Besides, the earthen stoves hadn't been used for a long time. Apart from a spatula, there were no tableware or firewood. The production team thought they would never use such a stove.
Even if they wanted to use it, they would have to see if they could start a fire themselves.
Jiang Yixing nodded. All those conditions combined weren't too harsh.
The staff routinely began asking Jiang Yixing some simple questions, such as his knowledge of the show, guessing which guests would be coming today, and his impressions of the regular guests, etc.
They also asked Jiang Yixing if she had any relevant life experience.
Jiang Yixing honestly replied, "I did it when I was a child."
Actually, it wasn't exactly when she was a child; it was before she became a disciple, but it was still nearly three hundred years ago.
She was initially confused about the fact that it was a world of cultivation, and spent some time living among farmers.
Later, as she wandered westward, she naturally needed to eat, even though she hadn't yet practiced fasting.
In some slightly more bustling areas, you can even buy food with your own money.
When you reach remote places, you have to fend for yourself and rely on your own efforts for food and clothing. This experience has helped you develop some survival skills in the wild.
The staff member nodded, saying it was normal because they had experience with this when they were young.
Having grown up so much, I've probably forgotten most of it.
During the conversation, the car had already arrived at its destination.
After Jiang Yixing got out of the car, he saw a group of people and machines surrounding the center, where several regular guests had already arrived.
The production crew's car was easy to spot; Zheng Lan is tall, and she was the first to see Jiang Yixing.
He raised his hand and waved at Jiang Yixing.
The two people next to him then looked over at Jiang Yixing, and Li Yuxin jumped up and waved her arms, "Hey!"
He tilted his head and said to Jiang Wu, "A beautiful young lady has arrived."
Jiang Wu stood there with his arms crossed, nodding proudly in acknowledgment.
He thought to himself with resentment, "Why didn't the production team find a stronger guy?"
The three elderly, weak, and disabled people who stayed there permanently were really struggling to cope.
Jiang Yixing greeted them one by one and stood next to the three of them.
Zheng Lan fulfilled her duties as a regular cast member: "Jiang Yixing, is this your first time on this show? Please introduce yourself to the audience."
Jiang Yixing waved to the camera again, a faint smile on her face, "Hello everyone, I am Jiang Yixing. This is my first time participating in a variety show, so please take good care of me."
The three of them clapped in unison.
After clapping, Jiang Wuzhi's face fell. "Ah, is this your first time participating in a variety show?"
He was hoping that the person in question might be a variety show personality familiar with the process, so that he could at least negotiate with the production team.
Jiang Yixing nodded.
Li Yuxin said, "You don't know, these people have become really twisted. You're going to get ripped off badly."
