Chapter 140 Observation
Lin Ruohe gave a look, and everyone immediately understood. They all grabbed the edge of the sheet and the thin mattress where Meng Fanxi was lying, and with a forceful lift, they lifted the mattress up, and Meng Fanxi 'floated' in the air.
Feeling an unsettling sense of suspension, Meng Fanxi still didn't wake up, but instead shifted restlessly. Seeing that he still didn't wake up, the others began to gently shake him, and Meng Fanxi showed some signs of opening his eyes.
But he still didn't open his eyes. The five men's arms ached, so they had to put him down.
Ren Yuchen praised softly: "Fanxi's sleep quality is really good."
Xu You couldn't wait any longer and said with a look of eagerness, "In that case, let me 'forcefully wake you up'!"
Xu You stretched out his hand, as if he was about to make a big move, but Zhang Yang immediately grabbed him: "What are you going to do?"
Xu You chuckled smugly twice: "I'm going to pounce on her!"
Seeing this, Lin Ruohe suggested, "Why don't we go together?"
Everyone found their own angles to avoid causing too much impact on Meng Fanxi, and just as they were about to pounce on him, Meng Fanxi slowly opened his eyes.
He suddenly felt an immense pressure bearing down on him, as if a compelling aura was emanating from all around him, slowly waking him from his slumber and making him realize that something was wrong.
Several familiar figures stood around the bed. From Meng Fanxi's perspective, upon closer inspection, he could see that their expressions were particularly ferocious and their limbs were extremely uncoordinated. Meng Fanxi was so frightened by this bizarre scene that he shuddered and froze on the spot.
From the camera's angle, Meng Fanxi's head is slightly tilted, and his eyes are filled with a mix of emotions, including confusion, speechlessness, and shock, making him look exceptionally vivid.
The camera even gave Meng Fanxi a close-up shot.
The audience instinctively took out their phones to capture this comical scene, which was later turned into a famous meme. The meme vividly features a string of ellipses.
The five people were about to do something but got stuck halfway through, and their awkward, frozen-in-place state was quite effective.
"Hehe...hehe..." Everyone laughed in unison to cover their embarrassment. Even more bizarrely, Meng Fanxi refused to believe what was happening in front of her and buried her face in the blanket the next second.
Seeing this, everyone stopped arguing and burst into laughter. Together, they pulled off Meng Fanxi's blanket, revealing the adorable Fanxi wearing a bear pajama. The six of them immediately started a chaotic brawl, with laughter and playful noises filling the air.
The video ends there, with the caption "Sleeping Prank Operation Successful!" occupying the entire video screen.
The audience both at the venue and watching on screen were left wanting more, with the audience at the venue drawing out their "Ahhhhhh" sounds, unwilling for the segment to end just like that.
The six people on stage smiled reservedly, accepting the various sleeping postures and expressions in the video with composure.
This was just the opening act. They threw themselves into each game without any inhibitions, contributing tons of memes and laughs, showing the audience the contrast between their image and their true selves, which won them a huge number of new fans and gained them countless admirers.
The huge success of the studio-recorded variety show brought Wei a sigh of relief. Variety shows are about quality, not quantity. Their agents received many invitations from TV stations and video websites, all of which were interested in the contrasting variety show skills of all VIER members or individual members and hoped to have them become regulars on variety shows.
He took on this national program with a try-it-out mentality, which only required recording one episode. This allowed him to gain a lot of popularity and generate a lot of buzz without damaging their image too much.
He will be more cautious about accepting variety show appearances in the future. Variety show appearances make it easier for the audience to understand a person's personality and thus gain fans, but this also has limitations for a team where almost everyone has a clear career plan.
In order to allow them to bring more and better works to the screen and not distract the audience, Wei Ye and Li Yingqiu strictly control VIER's variety show selection.
When this episode of "Monday Morning Show" aired, Meng Fanxi had already joined the cast of "Suspension". The day after the show aired, he woke up to countless messages from all sides with the same content: memes of his face during the wake-up segment.
Everyone had become familiar with using it and had chosen to send it to him for experimentation. Later, when he saw his own emojis while chatting with friends, he was completely unfazed. Sometimes, when he got used to using it, he would even send his own emojis to others.
The style of the crew of "Suspension" is different from that of "The Journey of Cloud Boat". The former has a low production cost, and Qiu Lü is also more serious and serious on set.
Although Feng Mingxu had a bad reputation, Meng Fanxi had actually seen him lose his temper very few times in their interactions. Moreover, "The Journey of Cloud Boat" was a lavish production with a large cast, and the set was always bustling with activity.
The different film set atmospheres made Meng Fanxi's memories of moving between various film sets in his previous life clearer. The familiar feeling and the familiar adaptation process made him feel very excited.
The different temperatures in each film are proof that he can simultaneously feel his own existence.
His scenes on the set of "Suspension" were quite scattered. Although it was a cameo role, he was on set for a long time. When he wasn't filming, he was immersed in the vast ocean of directing at school.
The advantage of studying and filming at the same time is that the knowledge learned one day can be directly experienced on set the next day. Qiu Lü's directing ability is beyond doubt. Although his team is not glamorous, the professionalism they showed on set has already made Meng Fanxi see that this director will inevitably shine in the Chinese entertainment industry in the future.
On the day Meng Fanxi finished filming, Qiu Lü, who was usually serious, finally showed his appreciation when he presented her with flowers: "Congratulations on finishing filming! Thank you for portraying the character I had in mind."
On the way back after the show, Meng Fanxi was quite moved, recalling the scenes from "The Battalion" and marveling at how fast time flies.
Lin Ruohe, Ren Yuchen, and Gu Huailang have all joined the cast, and they have all chosen to take a steady approach and start from supporting roles.
Lin Ruohe received a script for the male lead, but the character was too similar to the role he had played in the national drama before. Lin Ruohe had certain requirements for his acting skills. Seeing that Meng Fanxi had taken on two roles with completely different characters, he turned them down and chose a more challenging role.
Gu Huailang is currently under academic pressure, and he's only playing a younger brother type of role in the production. However, Meng Fanxi gave him some suggestions, saying that the script was novel and the character was quite three-dimensional, and Gu Huailang would definitely shine in the role.
With Meng Fanxi's support, Gu Huailang's doubts vanished, and he settled firmly into the film crew.
Xu You and Zhang Yang did receive scripts. Nowadays, many production teams consider market factors more when casting. As long as someone is popular, they will be offered roles. However, Xu You and Zhang Yang are not really interested in acting and prefer to devote their time to music.
Wei also thought they could give it a try, but the script quality was indeed not high, so he respected their wishes and turned it down.
While preparing for her team's album and concert, Meng Fanxi is increasingly enjoying university life.
The feeling of studying a major he loves and working in a related field is completely different from his previous life studying science and engineering. He has been glad more than once that he made a different choice than in his previous life.
Yunxi's curriculum is very interesting. They often take them out to experience life. They do this so often that everyone has gotten used to it and they can basically just grab their equipment and a few clothes and set off.
During these frequent trips, Meng Fanxi finally met the director Feng Huacan, whom she had been longing to see.
This time they went to a place called Zhou Taipo in the suburbs of the capital.
There grows an extremely fragile plant called Cave Grass.
If it were just an ordinary grass, it might not attract so much attention. This plant is said to be very spiritual, with different forms in the morning, noon, and evening, and it is extremely beautiful, which is very helpful in broadening their horizons.
It is not usually open to the public. You have to register and queue to get in. Yunxi's application was made several years ago. At that time, that batch of students was about to graduate. This good thing happened to Meng Fanxi and his class.
Director Feng probably knew this was a rare opportunity, so he sat on the bus with them.
The students on the bus were initially restless, but they all maintained their composure and did not behave too rudely.
Meng Fanxi happened to be sitting not far from him, keeping a close eye on his movements, wanting to know what was different about the daily behavior of such a big director.
Upon observation, there was nothing different. Director Feng was approachable and chatted and laughed with everyone in the car. He cherished the equipment he carried, and would instinctively protect it whenever the road became slightly unstable.
Meng Fanxi noticed that Director Feng was observing everyone while chatting and laughing. His eyes were bright, as if they had hooks, and his gaze was extremely penetrating.
He quickly caught Meng Fanxi's observing gaze and looked over. Meng Fanxi was not alarmed and looked away, but met his gaze naturally and gave him a friendly smile.
Director Feng smiled but didn't say anything.
Once they arrived at the destination, Director Feng focused entirely on the matters he was about to encounter. Meng Fanxi seized an opportunity to get close to Director Feng, making sure he could observe Director Feng's behavior at all times, since every move of a great director could be full of profound meaning.
To protect the *Caveella dentatum*, researchers have created this specially designed venue for it, controlling the temperature and humidity with the most precise settings. The venue is divided into many areas, with a limited number of people allowed in each area. On-site staff are randomly grouped according to the order of entry.
Meng Fanxi's group of nine happened to be in the same group as Director Feng, and they were directed to an area by the staff.
He had only checked some information on his phone before coming, and knew that the Cave Heaven Grass was very fragile and could not be approached too closely. The staff also mentioned similar precautions. The other members of his group were already wandering around this area, but he still did not make any rash moves and followed Director Feng's actions.
He did exactly what Director Feng did.
Director Feng did not rush to take out his equipment, but observed each plant one by one. Meng Fanxi imitated his observation actions and also began to find some interest in the observation.
When Feng Dao turned on the equipment, Meng Fanxi did not immediately take out his own equipment. Instead, he continued to observe. He found that Feng Dao's angle was very unique. Others might observe from the front, side, or top, but Feng Dao observed from the bottom up, with extreme detail. He even understood the soil and the distance between each plant.
Meng Fanxi observed this and gained a lot. Perhaps sensing Meng Fanxi's constant gaze, Director Feng needed an assistant when he turned on the equipment. He directly beckoned to Meng Fanxi: "Handsome guy, come here for a second."
