As soon as Zhang Yi said this, the crew members' expressions changed slightly. Even Director Wu, who had been holding back and not intervening, couldn't help but call out his wife's name:
"Ayi, this..." Is there really no problem?
Zhang Yi did not respond to Director Wu's words, but from the way she walked straight to Lin Long, we could tell what Zhang Yi's answer was?
Suddenly, Director Wu felt a little headache. No one knew his wife's stubborn temper better than him. Now she said she wanted to maintain the original arrangement and be in the same group with Lin Long. Then, it was not a question of whether there was a problem or not, but she had made up her mind.
Once Zhang Yi makes up his mind, ten oxen can't pull him back.
However, despite his wife's stubborn temper, she wasn't someone who acted rashly. On the contrary, her actions were carefully considered. Was she maintaining the original arrangement simply to avoid disrupting the filming? That was the only motive Director Wu could imagine. Yet, he felt something was amiss. The problem seemed more complex than that.
But no matter what, since Zhang Yi, the person involved, said that there was no problem with it, it was even harder for others to express any opinions. They looked at each other and automatically split into teams.
The most popular team is naturally the red team consisting of the male and female protagonists Zhang Tianyi and Lin Zhuer, and Lin Zhuer's "good friend" Yang Yiyi is also in it.
Although the Yellow Team that Director Wu is in is not that popular, most people hesitate and dare not choose the Yellow Team. That's because the Yellow Team is composed of seniors, and they are afraid that their qualifications are not up to par, which will make it awkward to have awkward conversations during activities. So if you want to join the Yellow Team, you have to carefully consider your qualifications, shamelessness, etc. to see if you can survive among so many seniors.
As for the blue team where Lin Long was... needless to say, it was really cold. Everyone was obviously in the same area, but they could automatically avoid each other. It seemed that no one wanted to get closer, so, soon, a strange vacuum zone was formed here.
However, this vacuum zone did not make the two people in it feel awkward or uncomfortable, but instead made them particularly eye-catching.
Needless to say, Zhang Yi had the aura and accomplishment of a movie queen, which not everyone could possess. As for Lin Long... I don't know if she was pretending or forcing herself, but the expression on her face was very natural, and she even seemed to be at ease. More importantly, perhaps influenced by this feeling of ease, she gave them the illusion that 'Lin Long seemed to be no less capable than Zhang Yi'!
but……
A minute passed, and many guests from the two neighboring teams were actively joining in, but there was no movement from the blue team, and no guest wanted to look over here.
Three minutes passed. The two teams next door tried to avoid arguments and focused on discussing how to combine members to achieve more results with less effort. Winning was secondary and friendship was primary. There was still no movement from the blue team. Some guests even thought of pulling Zhang Yi over.
Seven minutes passed, and the rosters of the two neighboring teams were basically finalized, while the blue team was still the same as at the beginning, with no changes, and still could not find the third member.
Just when everyone thought the Blue Team really couldn't find a third member, Fang Yuan, who had been looking unhappy since the grouping began, suddenly stood up, frowned, and strode in front of Lin Long. Without looking at Lin Long, he turned to the program director and said, "I'll join the Blue Team. We'll just make up the minimum requirement of three people."
From that expression and tone, it was clear at a glance that Fang Yuan did not want to join voluntarily. Perhaps it was for Zhang Yi's sake, and also because he didn't want to make things difficult for the other people in the crew, so he was the first to jump out and go into hell.
Zhang Yi could probably guess what Fang Yuan was thinking. Without saying anything more, he just nodded towards Fang Yuan as a greeting.
Lin Long, on the other hand, became interested when he saw Fang Yuan taking the initiative to join his side. He couldn't help but hold his chin and circle around Fang Yuan twice, which made Fang Yuan's face tense, his hair numb, and his face look even uglier. He subconsciously wanted to tell Lin Long to stop being so arrogant and stop getting so close.
However, before Fang Yuan could speak, Lin Long patted the other person's shoulder with a look of reluctance and unwillingness and said:
"Although you're a little ugly and don't quite match my aesthetic standards, since you volunteered to be my team member, I'll grudgingly accept it, even though it's a bit eye-catching."
Lin Long, who was obsessed with looks, said this with great difficulty. After that, she couldn't help but sigh. Her originally happy and relaxed expression changed into an extremely helpless expression of "reluctantly accepting it".
Although Fang Yuan hadn't initially expected to get along with the vicious Lin Long, and certainly hadn't intended to, he had joined Team Blue for Zhang Yi and the rest of the crew, as everyone had guessed. After all, each team had to have at least three people, and if it wasn't him, it would have been someone else in the crew. He might as well be there. As a man, he had to be responsible!
He 'voluntarily' joined the Blue Team, saving Lin Long from embarrassment. Not only did he not appreciate it, but he even called him 'ugly' and 'eye-catching'. How was he ugly? How was he eye-catching? Wasn't he just a little fatter and rounder? His facial features were still good. Even if he was three or four years younger and a fresh-faced boy, he wouldn't be any worse than Zhang Tianyi. Was he so reluctant?! Was he so reluctant?! Damn!
Fang Yuan felt like his chubby belly was about to explode with anger! But he considered himself a responsible man with a big heart and a big body who wouldn't hit a woman. No matter how angry he was, he couldn't hit a woman! Besides, they were still in the live broadcast mode! They were still a team! So he couldn't hit a woman!
But, but, he was so angry, damn! Especially the increasingly 'forced' face of Lin Long in front of him, which made the veins on his forehead jump. He took a few deep breaths but couldn't suppress it. He endured it for a while, but finally turned his head away and complained to Zhang Yi beside him:
"Teacher Zhang, look, why would you stand up for a girl like that? Even if she's being blackmailed online, it's all her own fault! She doesn't deserve your sympathy! And Lin Long must have said bad things about you before! To highlight how beautiful and outstanding she is!"
Hearing Fang Yuan's angry words, Zhang Yi seriously recalled what had happened before. After a pause, he reluctantly told Fang Yuan the truth:
"No... Lin Long, that guy, always praised me for my good looks and beauty. And, Xiao Fang, when I saw you this year, I wanted to ask you, have you gained weight? I feel like you're even fatter this year than last year. Although this doesn't really affect your performance of the role, it does look a bit... "
It's indeed a bit ugly.
Zhang Yi didn't say what she said next, but almost everyone at the scene understood the implicit meaning of her words. They coughed continuously to cover up their embarrassment. Fang Yuan was already petrified and felt that he had been greatly shocked. He didn't even know when he followed the main group and got on the blue car prepared for them by the production team.
Strictly speaking, the destinations of the three teams are actually the same, which is the gathering place of small farms in the suburbs and the developed forest behind it. It is booked by the program crew every time the program is filmed, but the specific locations arrived at by the three vehicles are not the same, they are three completely different entrances.
What the team members have to do is to collect the necessary ingredients along the way starting from the entrance of the farm gathering place according to the designated menu given by the program team. Finally, the three teams will gather at the center of the farm and make the designated dishes. The final victory or defeat will be judged by the chefs of each farm.
The ingredients are basically all naturally sourced or raised by farmers themselves, but considering the time and difficulty issues, the meat dishes on the designated menu can be obtained through the farm, but they just have to catch the chickens and fish themselves. But this is not a big problem, as there will be farmers around to provide guidance and help.
But apart from that, the side dishes and seasonings such as coriander need to be identified and picked by the artists themselves on the mountain.
The designated menu is different for each team. Before getting on the bus, the program team has already placed the designated menu for each team on the bus.
As soon as Lin Long and the others opened the car door, they found a task card on the back seat with three designated dishes written on it: mushroom and egg soup, stir-fried vegetables, and roast chicken.
The designated direction of the route is the east entrance of the farm. In other words, Lin Long and his team must enter from the east entrance, collect food along the way, and finally meet up with the other two groups in the center. The time limit is before 5 pm. Teams that fail to show up on time will be deemed to have automatically given up.
