Chapter 50
At eight o'clock in the evening, the latest episode of "Let's Travel Together" was broadcast on TV on time.
This program is broadcast on both satellite TV and online platforms, but the online broadcast is delayed by one hour.
Therefore, as soon as the TV station broadcasts the show, loyal viewers will start watching it on TV.
Previously, Su Xingyao's fan painting went viral, bringing a lot of popularity to the entire program team. The TV station originally had very high expectations for the ratings of this episode.
But who would have thought that "Comfortable Weekend" would do such a wave of criticism and buy a lot of press releases about the same content of this episode of "Let's Travel Together" before it was even aired.
This resulted in some casual viewers no longer having such a strong urge to watch "Let's Travel Together" first after watching "A Nice Weekend" and knowing that the two programs have similar contents.
Therefore, when this episode was first aired, the ratings were not optimistic. It was almost entirely supported by die-hard viewers, while the number of casual viewers dropped a lot.
The performances of the guests in this episode were actually very outstanding, but the ratings were so low because of this malicious competition that the TV station was really depressed.
When something like this happens, not only the TV station is depressed, but loyal fans of the show are also annoyed.
Because when they were tracking the real-time ratings, they found that the ratings for today's premiere of "Travel" were far lower than those for the first episode of "Weekend" which aired yesterday.
[I have been holding back from saying this, this show is really a bit disgusting]
[It’s a show that’s dragging down other people, and it’s tying up the guests. It was specially chosen to be broadcasted yesterday. It’s really a bit scary when you think about it.]
[What a pity, Su Xingyao performed so well, but was dragged down and framed by a certain program and ended up like this]
[Heartbroken, who understands]
[These past two days, I have been maliciously tying up Su Xingyao's previous CP. Fortunately, it failed, otherwise it would be even more disgusting]
When a TV series is broadcast, many fans will start a discussion on the forum about the plot. Everyone shares their complaints on the forum while watching TV.
Anyone can participate in discussions and reply in public forums.
Fans were just lamenting the low ratings of this episode when soon the internet trolls and fans of "Comfortable Weekend" heard the news and arrived.
[It's so funny, a blacksmith must be strong himself, why don't you blame others for your own failure? 】
[Why don’t you reflect on why the program next door with the same theme is well received, but your program is ignored?]
[Do you blame others for being good at filming your own show because it's not good? 】
As soon as the fans and internet trolls of "Comfortable Weekend" arrived, the discussion and atmosphere in the forum became a mess.
It was obvious that "Travel" suffered the loss because of the late broadcast, but the other party put the blame on the bad show. This made the die-hard fans of the show choke up with blood.
After all, their TV is still on. Don’t they know whether it’s good or not?
Because the production team knew that the content of this episode overlapped, they racked their brains to come up with a lot of fancy tricks in the later stage.
Although the other party keeps criticizing both programs as being the same, there is no need to watch the other after watching one.
But in fact, the main broadcast of this episode is very different from the live broadcast watched by netizens, whether it is the post-editing method or the presentation of the main body of the program.
Apart from the fact that both programs are about promoting intangible cultural heritage, there is almost no similarity between the two programs.
The styles are completely different.
"Comfortable Life" directly shows how the guests cleverly find clues, how they work hard to complete the tasks, and how they work hard to do live streaming to sell goods in the process of searching for intangible cultural heritage.
However, in "Let's Travel Together", more emphasis is placed on the interaction between the guests and the local people.
On the one hand, through the descriptions of local people and the city landscape seen through the "eyes" of the guests, this small county town with a long history but full of life is portrayed bit by bit.
On the one hand, the interesting interactions between the guests and different guides showcased the features of the local intangible cultural heritage and the craftsmanship of the inheritors of the intangible cultural heritage.
The former is more modern, floating and commercial, while the latter is more simple, humanistic and down-to-earth.
The audience watched the content of the program being broadcast continuously and was too lazy to argue with the other party anymore. They just focused on promoting the program.
[Everyone, ignore the trolls and watch this episode! The content of this episode is obviously very interesting]
[It’s almost time for our teacher Su’s god-level operation. You can see it more clearly on TV today. Don’t miss it, family members! ]
Audiences who have watched the live broadcast before know that the highlight of this episode is undoubtedly when Su Xingyao paints the fan.
But even though this has been discussed many times online before, when everyone watched it on TV again, they discovered that the scenes of Su Xingyao drawing and writing, displayed on a larger screen, was a completely different kind of enjoyment.
Many viewers even took out the national administrative map and Xu Xi's peony painting that they had printed out in advance and compared them with Su Xingyao's fan.
Then everyone discovered that the details he drew were really amazing.
[Even the boundaries between administrative districts are drawn so accurately]
[I just took a picture to compare the picture I printed and the fan painted by Teacher Su. It is not an exaggeration to say that both are printed.]
[Teacher Su has grasped Xu Xi's essence very well]
[I still think Teacher Su is awesome after watching it again]
[The key point is that his job was the most difficult and time-consuming, but he was the first to complete it among the six guests]
[Hahahaha, there’s nothing we can do about it since he’s Teacher Su (the other guests are also amazing)]
During the last live broadcast, the production team only played the part where Su Xingyao painted the fan and then ended.
The production team simply cut off the subsequent content.
After waiting for several days, today we finally saw the progress of the subsequent guests. Everyone realized that Su Xingyao not only has high-quality paintings, but also works very fast.
The most amazing thing is that after he quickly finished painting the fan, he continued to paint four different fans based on the personalities and needs of different guests while waiting for other guests.
In the end, because of his outstanding performance, six sets were directly given to everyone. After each guest completed the task, each person had an exclusive scented fan.
[Wow, I also want to have a fan painted by Teacher Su himself]
[The child really needs Feng Han's fan with advanced math formulas! ]
[Can you make a fan similar to Xu Xiang's executive style fan?]
[Family members… My dad just took a fancy to the fan with Shi Hongyu’s inscription and asked me to buy him the same model QWQ]
[My mother also took a fancy to Teacher Cen Yi’s peony fan TAT]
[Family members, who knows, I am crazy about Tong An'an's bird feather fan!! Teacher Su clearly hand-painted it on the folding fan, but it is so lifelike and looks just like the real thing! This fan and this beautiful lady are such a perfect match! ]
[Wow, but I still love Teacher Su’s cat and dog double fan the most. It turns out that modern paintings can be painted on folding fans. It’s really cute. Wow, wow, wow]
After completing the task, the guests opened their folding fans and took photos with the president of the Incense Fan Association in front of the entrance of the Incense Fan General Union.
This wave of photos was comparable to a large-scale Amway event, and most of the audience who saw these fans were crazy about them.
[Does the program team really not consider launching a joint product? 】
[I really want to have it]
[Out, out, out, hurry up and release the six fans of the same style hand-painted by Su Xingyao, I will definitely buy them all]
After watching the show, the audience left messages to the program team.
Some even found the online store of the fragrance fan headquarters, hoping that they could collaborate with the program team to produce the same model as Su Xingyao.
The audience here is frantically contacting the program team, hoping to produce fans painted by Su Xingyao.
The next second, I suddenly heard a familiar and sinister voice coming from the TV.
Zhang Shanfeng: "Have you completed your mysterious mission?"
As soon as Zhang Shanfeng's voice came out, netizens stopped typing and leaving comments, and just watched the TV curiously.
[What? ? There is a mysterious mission? ]
[Did I miss it just now? When was the task assigned? ]
When netizens were confused, the answers were revealed to them later.
The TV screen later replayed the scene of Zhang Shanfeng assigning tasks to everyone and distributing mobile phones in the morning.
Seeing this, the audience suddenly realized.
[No wonder I saw the guests taking photos the whole time when I was watching the live broadcast that day. I thought they were taking photos to commemorate the occasion, but it turns out that this was a mission? ]
There was a sudden surprise at the end of the show, and the audience was delighted.
They stared at the TV screen intently, and then they noticed that the guests had handed all their mobile phones to Su Xingyao.
At the same time, Xu Xiang also said sweetly to Su Xingyao, "Brother Xingyao, you have worked hard."
It was only when everyone saw this that they realized that the videos shot by the guests were actually left to Su Xingyao to edit!
[Fuck...Su Xingyao can actually edit videos? ]
[I thought they would edit it in post-production, but the guest actually went on stage directly? ]
【??? Teacher Su, you can actually edit videos? ??? This is too versatile.】
[Ahhh, what format will it be broadcast in? Can I have the chance to see the video edited by Teacher Su at the end of the show? I’m really looking forward to it! ]
As a fan, I was excited to hear that Su Xingyao would be editing videos for all the guests.
Although passers-by were also surprised, most of them still did not think of Su Xingyao as being too powerful.
After all, everyone has their own expertise. No matter how versatile these artists are, they are definitely inferior to those professional editors.
Therefore, many people subconsciously think that Su Xingyao should use the common short video editing method.
But who could have imagined that the scene they saw next would directly overturn their imagination.
On the TV screen, Su Xingyao took the mobile phones of the other five guests, then sat down in front of the computer and began to export and integrate the videos shot by everyone.
In order to emphasize the authenticity, the program team also specially put up a part of the footage of Su Xingyao classifying and processing the videos.
Then he wrote in white letters next to it: [This is just the tip of the iceberg. Teacher Su dealt with it alone for six days...]
After this line of subtitles was typed, the screen paused for about five seconds.
Then, the entire TV screen suddenly went black.
Two seconds later, a fast-paced BGM appeared.
In the later period, the young lady’s unique subtitles appeared in the darkness along with the rhythm.
[The following videos were all edited by Teacher Su Xingyao]
[Please prepare yourselves]
[Don't blink]
[three]
[two]
[one]
As soon as the countdown ended, the quaint street where the guests had guessed the riddle appeared on the TV screen.
The whole picture is like a person's first-person perspective.
In the quiet morning, an old lady sits leisurely at her word puzzle stall. The camera moves slightly upwards, and several word puzzle folding fans sway gently in the wind.
The folding fan was like a timer. After swinging back and forth three times, a slender white hand entered the camera.
It took down the riddle, and then pushed the folding fan forward...
Suddenly, the whole scene seemed to be accelerated.
In less than a second, the camera passed through the quiet streets and came to the tree-lined urban area.
Then the hands appeared again, like the commander of the entire city.
He lightly spun his fingers, and the tall buildings in the video swayed left and right following his movements.
After swaying back and forth twice, all the houses fell to the right in an orderly manner.
In an instant, all the tall buildings and structures made a 360-degree rotation.
The whole city seems to be played in the palm of these magical hands, and every tourist attraction obeys its arrangements obediently.
After this amazing rotation, all the houses were put back in their proper positions.
But what comes into view is already a new scene.
Lushui County Central Square.
The picture stayed on the square for less than a second.
The magician's hand "pressed" the switch on the screen again, and all the buildings started teleporting magic, constantly fast-forwarding to both sides.
At the end of the street, the entire road beneath your feet was suddenly transformed by a magician into a moving elevator.
After taking a panoramic view of Lushui County from above, the "elevator" began to sink rapidly.
Finally, it landed heavily in a place full of life.
The place name is marked in small white words next to the video.
【Green Water Night Market】
Both sides of the night market are filled with Lushui County’s specialties.
The fancy ice jelly on the left, the signature sweet-skin duck on the right...
The camera moves forward and accelerates, and egg cakes, dragon beard crisps, brown sugar glutinous rice cakes, sweet water noodles, crayfish, etc. flash by quickly in the picture...
There is an overwhelming variety of delicious food.
After walking through the long night market, there are dozens of different delicacies.
The magician's hand appeared again and took a bowl of hot and sour noodles from the proprietress's stall.
Xu Xiang, who was photographed from the left, waved the bouquet of gorgeous red roses she had just bought at the camera.
The camera swings back and forth between the hot and sour powder and the rose.
By the second time, the hot and sour noodles on the right had been completely gone.
I can feel how fragrant this powder is even through the screen.
Before the audience had time to swallow their saliva, the swinging camera had already focused on the delicate and beautiful flower in Xu Xiang's hand.
The camera moves forward towards the rose petals, and what comes into view is a dazzling and pure red.
On the TV, the gorgeous shots suddenly slowed down at this moment.
Just when everyone was wondering when it would stop, it quickly retreated again.
The scenery that came into the audience's eyes turned into an endless field of flowers.
The small print reappeared.
【Sea of Roses】
After the magician's camera gave a panoramic view of the sea of flowers at its edge, it then moved forward through the flower fields as if riding on a light rail.
The audience was immediately led to travel quickly through the romantic sea of roses, like a time machine made of petals.
The time machine soon came to an end.
It is the [Huaxian Pond] in Lushui County.
The beautiful sculpture of the Painting Fairy is in the center of the camera. Following her gestures, the camera moves forward and arrives at the stall of the Sugar Painting Grandpa.
The old man skillfully painted a lifelike golden dragon on the stone slab.
Just put it on a bamboo stick and you can eat it directly.
The magician was also tempted by the golden dragon and took the initiative to help the sugar painting grandfather get the bamboo sticks.
But the basket was empty, not even a bamboo stick.
The magician, desperate to find a bamboo stick, could only slide it back and forth on the screen like a sliding tablet.
Then he slid onto a large green bamboo forest.
Here is another tourist attraction in Lushui County, [Lushui Bamboo Sea]
The streams and bamboo forests are relaxing and pleasant.
The magician began to select the bamboo that he liked best to make bamboo sticks.
So he controlled the space in the bamboo forest to move left and right, and then compressed it forward and backward.
As the space continues to compress and lengthen, several local residents smile and enter the camera.
Holding local traditional scented fans in their hands, they were taking a leisurely stroll along the long path in the forest.
The sunlight shines through the bamboo forest and casts dots on the ground.
The magician's hand blocked the light.
Entering the country again, he "telepathically" took the scented fan from an aunt's hand from the screen.
The scented fan held high blocked out the sunlight through the bamboo forest.
But the camera returned to the specially made fan-shaped gate of the Incense Fan Association without anyone noticing.
The six guests waved their scented fans in front of the camera, and Tong Anan was holding a golden dragon skewered on a bamboo stick.
The camera continued to follow the guests as they got on a bus together.
The vehicle started and the scenery outside the window began to change constantly.
As if playing a silent movie, the images on the window began to flash back wildly.
What is shown above are the fifteen steps that the craftsman goes through incense fan making from the beginning to the end.
The journey was completed, the car stopped and the door opened.
What appeared in front of everyone was an ancient city gate.
The magician's long, white fingers entered the country for the last time.
He wrote seven words slowly on the frozen picture:
【Welcome to Lushui County】
Thus, the video is played completely.
The audience in front of the TV were completely stunned.
After two seconds of breathing pause, the brain seemed to regain consciousness.
After that, all other thoughts were thrown out of my mind, leaving only one sentence.
Shocking!!!
After coming to their senses, netizens went wild.
[WTF TF TF]
[How did they do it? ? How did they do it!! ]
[Su Xingyao, do you know magic? ]
[Oh my god, this camera movement is worth at least tens of millions]
[This is so awesome, Su Shen, you must be a god]
The audience, who originally thought they were just watching a simple spliced video, never expected that the easter egg the program team put at the end would be so explosive.
The excited netizens were eager to vent their emotions after watching the show to everyone.
As a result, all major social media platforms were flooded with discussions about this video almost at the same time.
[I don't allow you to not watch this edited video of Su Xingyao]
【You will regret what I said if you don’t watch it!!】
[Oh my god, this promotional video is simply amazing]
[Su Shen, Su Men! Su Xingyao is the eternal God! ]
[Now I just want to beg for a pair of eyes that I haven’t seen before, so that next time I see it, I can experience the feeling of my heart beating faster again]
With so many discussion posts appearing all of a sudden, netizens were naturally attracted immediately.
Originally everyone thought that these were some internet trolls hired by the program production team, but when they clicked in, they saw that they were all real people having heated discussions.
Seeing all the good reviews, many people were curious and immediately turned on the TV to watch it.
In the later stage, it was as if we had anticipated that some viewers would come after hearing the news.
Ask everyone in the subtitles.
[Do you need to do it again?]
[You definitely haven’t seen enough, have you?]
[Let’s watch another one!]
Netizens who had already watched the promotional video were very excited when they saw that it would be shown again in the later stage.
Although the new audience was a little confused, they were looking forward to it when they found out that they still had a chance to see it with their own eyes.
So the video was played again on TV later.
But this time, the video played later was a little different from the previous ones.
After Su Xingyao finished this promotional video, he added another one.
[Don't go away!]
[More to come!]
[Surprise?]
[Let's enjoy the process of making the scented fan drawn by Teacher Su Xingyao]
Later, after the young lady’s subtitles disappeared, an arc-shaped line segment appeared on the TV.
Compared with the fast-paced and imaginative video just now, the sudden slow-down of the shot made everyone a little uncomfortable.
Although I was a little confused, when I thought that this work was written by Su Xingyao, I was instantly filled with anticipation.
This scene only lasted for two seconds.
As the camera pulled back, the pair of slender fingers in the previous video appeared in the picture again.
Along with it, there is a watercolor painting.
When the audience took a closer look, they found that Su Xingyao had actually drawn Feng Han and Shi Hongyu.
Two people were busy making fan ribs in the fan rib workshop.
The fans of the two in front of the TV couldn't help but scream after seeing this picture.
They never expected that Su Xingyao would actually draw the scene of her idol making fan ribs.
Fans of the two hurriedly moved closer to the TV to get a better look, only to find that Su Xingyao's fingers were rapidly enlarging the painting.
Just when everyone was wondering what he was going to do, the audience was surprised to find that after the painting was enlarged, the image on it did not blur or disappear.
What is even more surprising is that when a bamboo leaf floating in the air is magnified, it actually hides a new world.
Cen Yi and Tong Anan, who were learning seal carving from a master, were painted by Su Xingyao inside the bamboo leaves in Feng Han and his friends' painting.
The picture continued to zoom in, and the entire scene when the two people were recording became clearer and clearer.
Seals, tools, follow-up PD, and even Tong Anan's falling hair are all clearly displayed as the picture is continuously enlarged.
But Su Xingyao's hands never stopped moving.
He slid his finger towards the camera of the PD following Tong Anan, and then a hint of color gradually appeared on the camera filming Tong Anan.
Su Xingyao's fingers moved faster and the content became clearer and clearer.
The scene captured by the camera actually turned into Xu Xiang who was learning how to paste the fan blades!
In just a dozen seconds, the audience in front of the TV was once again amazed by Su Xingyao's amazing performance.
At first I just saw a painting.
But I didn’t expect that Su Xingyao hid so many small details in it.
And when every small detail is magnified, it turns out to be an extremely clear picture-in-picture.
It’s like entering a mysterious space with layers of overlap. No one knows how many paintings within paintings he has hidden in this painting!
The audience, whose scalps were tingling with excitement at this nesting doll-like painting method, could only stare blankly at Su Xingyao's flat screen.
Then they discovered that Su Xingyao had actually displayed the fifteen different steps of making the scented fan bit by bit in the form of picture-in-picture.
Later on, a small box was considerately placed in the lower right corner.
After comparing the pictures, the audience found that what Su Xingyao drew was a picture of the six of them visiting every step of the fan-making process after the live broadcast.
After painting fifteen paintings within paintings, this mysterious painting finally stopped at a shot of a master painter of ink and color painting on a fan that six people were visiting.
Finally, Su Xingyao pulled her fingers toward the fan that the master was painting, and spread her thumb and index finger out to the sides.
The Qingming Festival Along the River painted by the master in the lower right corner of the video was also clearly redrawn by him in the picture-in-picture!
Backstage of TV station.
The TV station director, who had been staring at the ratings curve, suddenly jumped up from his chair.
He looked at the ratings curve carefully several times with a little disbelief.
The curve shows that the ratings of "Let's Go Travel Together", which had been sluggish all the way, suddenly soared in the last few minutes before the show was about to end.
The speed of this rise was so rapid that it even broke the highest point in the history of this program!!
It’s not just the high point of this show!
The director looked at the curve that was still rising and his hands were shaking with excitement.
At this rate, in another minute or two, it might even break the highest ratings for variety shows in all time periods this month!
Looking at the ratings that doubled, the ecstatic director secretly thanked his savior Su Xingyao in his heart, and decisively gave instructions to the staff around him.
"Arrange a replay right after it's over! Play Su Xingyao's highlights several times!"
No one would have thought that "Let's Go Traveling Together", which had been suffering from low ratings due to the influence of the rival TV station, would come back to life in the last ten minutes and become a huge hit.
Not only the ratings, but also the number of viewers for the online broadcast which was delayed by one hour, broke all previous records and became the highest in history.
The internet was flooded with discussions about the two videos of Su Xingyao just now.
Many viewers couldn't even wait for the program team to release the original video, so they took out their mobile phones and started taking pictures in front of the TV.
But even if it is a video shot in front of a TV, it can easily reach a very high number of views after it is released.
【Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh Sususususususu!!! Teacher Su, my God!!!】
[My mother asked me why I was kneeling to watch TV]
[Did it really only take six days to create such an awesome video and picture-in-picture? I don’t believe it unless you send me the engineering files]
[The abacus upstairs is so good that I can hear it across the Pacific Ocean]
[I heard that you all are saying that Su Xingyao's video editing is amazing, but you are amateurs after all, you can only scream after watching it, unlike me, we experts will kneel down directly]
[Ahhh, after watching this video edited by Teacher Su, I really want to travel to Lushui County and visit all those places]
[Su Xingyao suggests that you stop recording variety shows and go make a movie for me]
[Why make a movie? Go teach me how to draw! ! ! ! ]
[The fan painting of Along the River During the Qingming Festival at the end of the painting in the painting is amazing. I compared it with the video of their visit and they are exactly the same! ]
[This is amazing, this is amazing. Any one of these editing and painting skills is enough to crush the domestic entertainment industry, but you, Mr. Su, released two at once]
[Is this the boss?]
【Su Xingyao is awesome! 】
[Brothers, please show some respect and call me Su Shen]
[Woo woo woo woo, I am a groundhog who can only scream for Su Shen]
[Where is the production team? ? Where is the production team!! Please quickly release these two videos separately for me. I want to worship them again! ]
Netizens are anxious and excited, and the official Weibo account of the program team has already been flooded with messages from them.
Then, the long-awaited program team did not rush to upload the two videos this time, but instead posted several Weibo posts in succession.
