Chapter 46 Variety Show
Wen Yan arrived at the entrance of the village where the filming was taking place. As soon as she got off the car, she saw that two guests had already arrived. One was the talented actor Qin Yuechuan, and the other was the popular actress Nan Qiao. Both of them were sitting on suitcases by the roadside, holding umbrellas and resting, waiting for others to come.
As they were all seniors, Wen Yan took the initiative to walk over and humbly bowed to greet them: "Hello, Teacher Qin, Hello, Teacher Nan, I am Wen Yan."
The two seniors waved their hands in response, and Qin Yuechuan started by praising him: "Wen Yan, right? I was at the scene when you won the award last time, and I watched your TV series after returning. You acted very well. The young are really formidable, right, Nan Qiao?"
Nan Qiao also laughed: "Yes, the acting is really good, and he is handsome. Come here to sit and rest. You have to wait for a while, there are three more on the way."
Wen Yan initially thought that the two teachers were just saying these words for show, but when she saw the sincere smiles on the two seniors' faces, she became less nervous and walked towards them.
When assistant Zhao Ming saw this, he quickly dragged Wen Yan's suitcase over and laid it flat for Wen Yan to sit down and rest.
It didn't take too long to wait, as the other people came quickly. However, what Wen Yan didn't expect was that the last one was Xiao Zhiyuan.
Wen Yan hadn't heard from him for a long time, so she was a little surprised to see him suddenly appear in front of her.
The last time he apologized to the entire network, the incident actually escalated into something quite serious. At that time, Qi Yu'an did not make any arrangements for him to deal with the aftermath, but instead terminated the contract with him.
Wen Yan did not respond nor did he pursue legal responsibility. After being on the hot search for a while, it was slowly replaced by new hot topics. After that, no one around him paid attention to his dynamics. I didn't expect to encounter him in a variety show today.
Although Wen Yan said that he had let go of the past, he still felt uncomfortable when Xiao Zhiyuan appeared in front of him, but he did not show it.
After everyone arrived, the director took a loud speaker and explained the rules, or you could say there were no rules, that is, the program team only provided accommodation, and food, clothing, housing and transportation needed to be solved by themselves. They could help the villagers with work according to the program settings, or go out and buy them themselves.
However, the initial funds are limited, and we can only use the 100 yuan cash allocated to each person by the program team. There is no restriction on activities, and except for washing and sleeping, there will be cameras following the whole process, which lasts for half a month.
The accommodation was decided by drawing lots. Wen Yan originally thought that the program team had rented the house and they drew lots to decide who would live with whom. Now she realized that the program team arranged the six of them to live in six residents' homes.
Wen Yan thought this was a good idea. If they lived together and Xiao Zhiyuan was around, nothing would necessarily go wrong.
Although it is not very moral to make malicious assumptions about others, one must be on guard. He is not a rookie who has just debuted. He has seen a lot and knows that many times, many people's malicious intentions are inexplicable and incomprehensible. If it cannot be avoided, then all you can do is to prevent it as much as possible.
After the houses were allocated, everyone went to find the place where they would live for the next few days according to the address they had. In fact, the houses in the village are all similar, and most of them are two- or three-story self-built houses in the countryside.
Wen Yan found his family. He checked the address and looked at the spacious yard. He felt very lucky. It could be seen that this family was one of the well-off ones in the village.
Doors in rural areas are usually not closed during the day, so Wen Yan poked her head in and asked, "Is anyone there?"
A couple came out of the main hall. When they saw Wen Yan, their eyes lit up and they walked towards her enthusiastically. The hostess smiled so hard that her face almost blossomed: "Oh, you are the big star assigned to my house. You are so beautiful."
The male host took the suitcase from Wen Yan's hand and said, "Come in quickly. Our country house is simple. I wonder if you big stars can get used to it?"
Wen Yan was startled by the couple's enthusiasm. She looked at the hostess who was laughing heartily and the somewhat honest host in front of her, then looked at her empty palms and smiled. She thought she was so lucky.
He smiled, and the couple was stunned again: "He is so handsome, no wonder he can act in TV shows, why does my boy look like this? It makes me happy just looking at him."
The man smiled sheepishly: "Sorry, my wife likes good-looking people."
Wen Yan smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm so happy that you guys are praising me. By the way, my name is Wen Yan. How do you address me as Big Brother and Sister-in-law?"
Just as the man was about to speak, he was glared at by his wife. The man didn't understand what was going on, and then his wife rushed in to introduce him: "Your brother's name is Qian Jin, you can just call him Brother Qian. My name is Qin Xin, you can call me Sister Qin or Sister Qian."
Wen Yan nodded: "Okay, Brother Qian, Sister-in-law, I'm sorry to bother you these days. Where do I live?"
"No trouble, no trouble. We are so happy. The room is on the second floor. I'll let your brother Qian take you upstairs." The woman smiled cheerfully, "You haven't eaten yet? Put your things down and come downstairs with your brother Qian to eat. We are waiting for you."
Wen Yan was a little touched. Although they had never met before, this family was so sincere. She would take a good look around in the next few days to see if there was anything she could do to help.
Wen Yan followed the owner of the house to the second floor. The man was still carrying his suitcase for him. There were two rooms upstairs. He took him to the inner room. The door was not locked and opened with a push.
The man said, "The room we just passed by is my son's room. He is studying in town now and comes back every weekend. Your room is usually empty. After the program team found us, we cleaned it carefully. Everything is new. My wife has washed it. You can live here without worry."
The man smiled naively, and Wen Yan saw that even the sheets and quilts were already laid out and looked very smooth. He didn't know how to describe the feeling in his heart.
Wen Yan: "I'm sorry to trouble you, Brother Qian."
The camera was following behind him and the man was a little nervous: "It's not a problem, it's not a problem. The production team has paid for it."
Wen Yan chuckled: "The program crew only paid you to rent your room, but you and your sister-in-law kept the room so clean and decorated it so comfortably. I want to thank you."
The man rubbed his hands. He was not talkative like his wife, so he just helped Wen Yan carry the box in.
Just as he was about to speak, his wife's loud voice came from downstairs: "Are you still not well? Come down and have dinner."
The man smiled sheepishly: "I've put the key on the bedside table. Let's go downstairs to eat first, and you can clean up later."
"Okay." Wen Yan pushed the box to the side against the wall and followed her brother downstairs to eat.
Mrs. Qian had already served the food and placed it on the table. When she saw the guests coming down, she hurriedly greeted them warmly: "It's just simple food. I don't know if you are used to it?"
Wen Yan looked at the three dishes and one soup on the table, some meat and some vegetables. They certainly didn't look as good as those at her own banquets, but they were all filled to the brim and exuded a sense of homeliness.
