Chapter 79 Chapter 79 The King's Dad 21
The program team had a bad start, but everyone had experienced great things, so they quickly regrouped and continued with the drawing of lots.
The PD's expression just now was so sad that Zhuozhuo thought she had messed up something, but Rong Yi praised her and said, "Zhuozhuo made up for the program team's negligence, great." Zhuozhuo became carefree again.
Zhuozhuo listened to the adults' banter, unable to understand the gags or join in the conversation, so she stared intently at the display stand. Zhou Huasheng glanced at her, then back again, and couldn't help but ask, "Which gift do you like?"
Staring at it like this, is he getting hungry or greedy? Of the five gifts, three were toys, one was a frozen dumpling, and only his big gift bag of fondant snacks was allowed to be licked. Thinking of this, Zhou Huasheng felt the satisfaction of giving a gift for the first time.
Zhuozhuo glanced at the PD first. Seeing that he didn't stop her, she even pointed a camera towards them. She pointed at a pair of pink roller skates and said, "Zhuozhuo wants this. It's super cool!"
Zhou Huasheng, "Yeah, that's cool, can you play it?"
[Brother Peanut is unhappy. His good friend actually likes someone else's gift. Humph!]
"No, I can learn." Zhuozhuo held his face and looked at the roller skates, full of yearning, confidence and courage.
Zhou Huasheng smiled again, "I know how to do it. I'll teach you."
[Hahahaha, so easy to appease.]
"I can teach you, too!" Xiao Nuomi, the owner of the roller skates, came over and spoke happily to Zhuozhuo, "Sister, can you ride a bike?"
"Yes! I can also use a balance bike and a skateboard!"
"I can do it too!" The two little girls immediately hugged each other, feeling that they had met too late. Zhuozhuo proudly said, "I can ride a bike and my dad can't catch up with me."
Nuomi said, "My father fell into a ditch while chasing me."
Rong Yi: “…”
Nuomi's father He Tian: "..."
[Tell me more, my dears, what other embarrassing things has Daddy done? Auntie loves to hear them!]
Just then, with enough footage shot and progress underway, the PD announced the start of the lottery. Zhuozhuo immediately looked at Rong Yi, "Dad, which one do you want?"
Zhuozhuo's desire was about to materialize, but she still remembered to ask her father's opinion. Rong Yi was touched by her little cotton jacket's thoughtfulness and said gently, "This is a gift between children. Only the children can choose. Zhuozhuo can choose whichever one he wants."
"I know." Zhuozhuo happily shook her head. When the PD asked which group would go first, she raised her hand and said, "Zhuozhuo first, Zhuozhuo first!"
"Okay, Zhuozhuo is the first to raise his hand. Now please let Zhuozhuo draw the lot."
Zhuozhuo ran to the lottery table, grunted and climbed onto the high chair, put his little hand into the box, and almost without pausing, pulled it out again. He was so fast that the PD didn't even have time to say a word.
"Have you finished drawing?" Zhuozhuo handed the small ball in her hand to Rong Yi. Seeing Rong Yi nod, she opened her arms and let Rong Yi pick her up. Then she ran to the display stand and tiptoed to take off her roller skates.
Everyone was surprised and congratulated him with a smile, "Zhaozhuo is so lucky, he got what he wanted."
[Congratulations to Zhuo Bao! I want to see Zhuo Bao running around on roller skates.]
Rong Yi looked at the number on the ball, feeling both amused and annoyed. He called out to Zhuozhuo, who was carrying the roller skates to meet Nuomi, "Zhuozhuo, come here! You got the wrong process. You can't take these roller skates."
"Hey?" Zhuozhuo changed direction and ran to Rong Yi, saying childishly, "Dad, Zhuozhuo chose roller skates. They can be carried."
Rong Yi squatted down and rubbed Zhuozhuo's little head, pointing to the number on the ball and explaining, "Drawing a ball is the same as choosing a gift. You drew number 3, which corresponds to Brother Duoduo's toy gun."
As he spoke, Rong Yi showed the number on the ball in front of the camera.
[I was wondering how Zhuobao could be so fast. She wasn't even watching the ball's movements; her eyes were glued to her roller skates. Hahaha.]
[She's the most active, but she didn't understand the rules. How can she be so cute!]
Zhuozhuo blinked, and it took her a while to realize that drawing lots and choosing gifts were not two independent events. She said dejectedly, "Dad, did Zhuozhuo do something wrong?"
"I didn't do anything wrong. Don't blame Zhuozhuo. It's Daddy who didn't explain the rules of the game clearly to Zhuozhuo. Now that Zhuozhuo understands, that's enough. Let's exchange the gifts, shall we?"
"Okay, Dad." Zhuozhuo reluctantly handed the roller skates to Rong Yi, "Dad, please help Zhuozhuo put them back. Zhuozhuo can't reach them."
[Zhuobao is so good.]
[Brother Rong never praises Zhuo Bao for being well behaved.]
What is he praising?
"Zhuozhuo is awesome. He conquered his inner desire."
Rong Yi put the roller skates back and took down the toy gun. Before he could even walk away, a girl named Nuomi in a pink skirt ran over, holding the roller skates. "Sister, I'll give them to you. No need to draw lots."
Everyone: “…”
[Hahahaha, it turns out that recording a show with kids is the most tiring.]
After some explanation and comfort, Nuomi put the roller skates back, but she told Zhuozhuo that she would go to the mall to buy her a pair of green ones, which would be the same color as her T-shirt today.
Program crew: “…”
The gifts were just a formality, and I never thought they would actually use them.
Zhuozhuo pouted and said to Rong Yi, "Dad, Zhuozhuo doesn't like recording the show. Everyone talks too much, it's too troublesome."
Rong Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "We're playing a game right now and need to record everyone's footage, so it's a bit slow. We'll be faster when we go out to play later." Seeing Zhuozhuo still leaning against him with a downcast expression, Rong Yi said gently, "Zhuozhuo is unhappy because he doesn't understand, right? Dad was so busy filming just now that he forgot to pay attention to Zhuozhuo."
Zhuozhuo nodded and said sullenly, "I can only see Daddy's legs."
Even when Rong Yi was filming, Zhang Qi or Guo Xuezhong would always take care of Zhuo Zhuo, instantly attending to her needs when she looked up, reached out, or spoke. Zhuo Zhuo would also see a bunch of legs, but she wouldn't feel unhappy because there was always someone to respond.
Rong Yi's heart also began to sink. He held Zhuozhuo in his arms and said seriously, "Zhuozhuo, I'm sorry. Dad neglected you. Dad won't make such a mistake again in the future."
It was his first time participating in a variety show, and he was worried that he would appear out of place and lack variety sense, so he fine-tuned his words and actions based on the reactions of others, forgetting that Zhuozhuo, who was in an unfamiliar environment, needed more comfort and care.
Zhuozhuo was satisfied. She leaned over and put her face against Rong Yi's, saying happily, "Zhuozhuo forgives Daddy." The father and daughter returned to their happy state, but the comments became chaotic.
[Indeed, this part isn't kid-friendly; it's full of nonsense, this and that are not allowed.]
[This drawing of lots is unnecessary; just let the five children choose what they want.]
[And for half an hour, all the guests were standing. Adults can stand, but how can children stand?]
After all, this isn't a professional children's show; it's just using kids to drum up popularity. How could the production team care about the needs of children? And their parents, knowing full well that their children wouldn't eat well or suffer on "Food Journey," still bring their kids on, sucking their blood!
[Exactly, children cry because they don't eat well, and adults and the audience actually think it's cute. This show is hell for the children, right? It's a double torture, both mentally and physically.]
Even Rong Yi came to participate. I don't know how much money "Food Journey" gave him, but he didn't act like he loved his daughter that much.
The barrage of comments almost went out of control instantly, and it was obvious that some internet trolls were involved. To prevent it from escalating into a live broadcast accident, the program team took emergency measures, shut down the barrage of comments, and immediately brought up sofas and chairs for the guests to sit on. They also explained that the program team had never deliberately set up segments to make children suffer, and it would not be like this now, nor in the future.
After all abnormal accounts are banned, the live broadcast barrage will be opened again.
[Cover your mouth!]
[XX Kids Variety Show actually dared to criticize my brother Rong!]
[Brother Rong participated because he can cook and he will definitely not let Zhuo Zhuo go hungry!]
[The production team couldn't be blamed for the crying child not eating well. It was her father who deliberately put her on the show. He obviously knows how to cook, but he just wanted to be innovative and made a mess of it, making her cry and make a fuss. Her father then acted very gently and comforted her. The once-obscure celebrity gained 800,000 fans and became a big star again!]
[This is garbage, eating the blood of your own children.]
[When the program team invites guests, they choose people who can cook, right?]
Originally, "Food Journey" was just parents cooking for their kids, a bland and unpopular show. It only gained popularity after that rubbish was piggybacked onto it, so netizens assumed every episode was like that, making kids cry to gain traffic.
[Brother Rong's current status in the industry and his wealth of tens of billions, does he need to obey the production team and please the audience? He's good to Zhuozhuo, and he's good to Zhuozhuo. After such a long live broadcast, his only mistake is that he didn't pay attention to Zhuozhuo just now, right? But at that time, Brother Rong's hand was close to Zhuozhuo, so he could always know Zhuozhuo's movements!]
[And after Zhuozhuo expressed his grievance, Brother Rong immediately admitted his mistake and apologized. So, I want to ask everyone here, who hasn't experienced this kind of grievance as a child? And whose parents could do what Brother Rong did?]
[Besides, Zhuo Bao has already forgiven Rong Yi, and both sides have reached the maximum emotional value. What are those love-starved people in the barrage doing?!]
[The government has very strict censorship and oversight of variety shows. Don't just say something nonsense just because no one knows you online. If there were any problems with the program flow, it would have been pulled long ago!]
Zhuozhuo watched the production crew frantically, completely unaware of the trouble her words had caused everyone. She also had no idea that she had inadvertently made "Food Journey" a trending topic, thereby clearing it of its "wrongs." She simply said curiously, "Dad, why aren't you drawing lots anymore? Let's eat dumplings after we draw!"
"Okay, let's start now." Rong Yi nodded at the tip of her burning nose, but she slapped him away with a snort.
[They're still pushing for the process and eating dumplings. Zhuo Bao just complained casually, and his mood wasn't affected at all.]
[She speaks her mind freely and never gets caught up in herself. This shows that Zhuo Bao usually gets enough emotional feedback, so she feels safe and confident, and is therefore brave enough to express herself.]
[Actually, the production process is no different from the show "The Kid Next Door." It's just that our sister Zhuo speaks out when she's unhappy, while the kid next door doesn't.]
[It may be that they were mentioned but not broadcasted, meaning that these unexpected events can be seen during the live broadcast, while the recorded ones are edited out.]
The comments returned to normal, and the reputation of "Food Journey" that had almost been destroyed was restored, and the program continued to film normally. The lottery part was not cancelled after all, but the adults stopped deliberately creating show effects, and the lottery was completed quickly.
Zhou Huasheng got Zhuozhuo's dumplings, Hanghang got Zhou Huasheng's fondant snack gift pack, Nuomi got Hanghang's Transformers, Duoduo got Nuomi's roller skates, and Zhuozhuo got Duoduo's toy gun.
Duoduo wanted to give the roller skates to Zhuozhuo, but was told by the program team that it could not be transferred and that these gifts could not be used now, but could be taken away after the recording was over.
Duoduo was a little discouraged, but Zhuozhuo comforted him in a baby voice, "Sister Nuomi will buy Zhuozhuo new shoes, and Dad will buy Zhuozhuo new shoes too. Zhuozhuo will have two pairs, and then ask Dad to buy two more pairs, so the five of us can play with one!"
[Is Zhuozhuo's addition and subtraction skills so good?]
[After Zhuo Bao goes to school, Rong Ge will definitely not lose his hair due to tutoring homework. Fans of his face can rest in peace.]
Based on the value of the gifts received, each group of guests received the following initial funds:
Hanghang Xiangtian Group, 200 yuan.
Glutinous rice Hetian set, 100 yuan.
Duoduo Zhao Shao beginner group, 50 yuan.
Zhuozhuo Rongyi group, 20 yuan.
Zhou Huasheng and Jiang Huarong group, 10 yuan.
[Is that fondant snack gift pack so expensive? It’s even more expensive than the out-of-print Transformers!]
[It’s not that much more expensive, just two zeros off.]
[Is this candy made of gold?]
This snack gift pack is clearly the work of a master craftsman. Fondant is expensive to begin with, so it's normal for a master craftsman to cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. And it's likely expedited, which makes it even more expensive.
[I used to only know that Jiang Huarong had a strong family background, but now he has a wealthy cousin named Zhou. Can anyone guess where Jiang Huarong came from?]
[I guessed it, but I dare not say it.]
Each group of guests will use their initial funds to choose a means of transportation to the next mission location. The first group to arrive will be able to choose one of the five missions, while the last group to arrive will have to choose the one left by others.
The production team wouldn't cheat on the children, but they certainly would for the sake of show effect. The difficulty of the next level would undoubtedly be vastly different. With this thought, the five parents instantly felt a sense of urgency. After checking the distance, the 100-yuan group chose to take a taxi without hesitation, chasing each other as they held their children, trying to hail one.
Nuomi invited enthusiastically, "Sister, I'll take you in the car!"
PD quickly said that they could not cooperate in this aspect because everyone was a competitor.
Zhuozhuo waved goodbye and said, "Sister Nuomi, hurry up, we'll catch up soon!"
Jiang Huarong, who received ten yuan, asked everyone sincerely, "What kind of bus can I take with ten yuan?"
Zhou Huasheng: "Ten yuan can get you five bus rides."
[Brother Peanut seems to be out of touch with the world, yet he actually knows the bus fare is two yuan!]
Jiang Huarong: "Then let's take the bus."
