Chapter 385: One Person, Two Houses, Three Meals, Four Seasons (asking for monthly tickets and recommendation tickets!)
Amidst this hustle and bustle, the first episode of "The Yard of Longing" was launched on Polar Bear.
With the popularity of "Liang Liang" and the car crash, the number of people following this variety show has increased instead of decreased. On the day the show was launched, the show's super Weibo account also increased by nearly 2 million followers, and the total number of followers officially exceeded 10 million! The polar bears were very happy, because these are all views! With 10 million fans as a base, the number of views of this show will not be low!
…
"Hurry up! The show is about to start!" He Li urged her friend Qi Qi, "Hurry up!"
"Here I come! Why are you rushing me?" Qi Qi brought out a plate of washed tomatoes. "If I didn't know you, I would think you were a fan of Lin Fan! You're so interested in Lin Fan's variety show, do you still remember who you are a fan of?"
He Li, a core member of Xia Yan's fan club, raised her head and looked at Qi Qi proudly: "Let me tell you, it doesn't matter who I'm a fan of. What's important is that I have to see if Lin Fan has done something wrong to Yanyan behind her back!"
Did he flirt with other female guests in the variety show? Did other female guests want to steal Yanyan's attention? Did he show the nature of a straight man or a scumbag... and so on. In short, He Li watched this show with a sense of mission!
After reading it, you have to write a 3,000-word analysis and submit it to the group!
The task is very heavy! Qi Qi was surprised: "Have these two officially announced it?"
"How is this possible!" He Li waved her hands repeatedly, "That's not true, don't talk nonsense!"
"Then you said you were helping Xia Yan look after Lin Fan?"
"Oh you don't understand!"
"How can I understand if you don't tell me?"
"You wouldn't understand even if I told you!"
“…”
Seeing that the topic was about to enter an endless loop, He Li immediately changed the subject: "Watch the show! Eat tomatoes! They are good for beauty and vitamins, so eat more."
Qi Qi rolled her eyes, ended the meaningless argument, and squeezed in to sit down on the sofa.
At exactly eight o'clock, "The Yard of Longing" was officially launched.
A blue sea appeared on TV, white seagulls were flying in the air, the water receded on the white beach, leaving a tiny crab, looking helplessly at the sea that was getting farther and farther away.
A slender hand entered the scene, gently pinching the crab's shell. Just when Qi Qi thought the owner of the hand would throw the crab back into the sea, Lin Fan's voice came: "This crab is still a little small. If it were a little bigger, I would suggest steaming it. As it is now, stir-frying the crab is the best."
As he said that, he casually threw the crabs into a plastic bucket beside him. The camera was pointed at the bucket. There were already quite a few small crabs in it, constantly climbing up as if trying to escape. However, this bucket was like an insurmountable cliff for these crabs, and no crab could escape.
Seeing this, a question mark slowly popped up in Qi Qi's mind: Crabs are so cute, why do you want to eat them? At this time, shouldn't you throw the crabs back into the sea and release them, and then shine an angel light on yourself to show your kindness, integrity and greatness? Qi Qi vaguely felt that the way she opened this program was not right.
But the program was still going on. Lin Fan was seen walking around the beach, picking up a bunch of small crabs and shells. He put the edible ones into the bucket, and the inedible ones were either released or sorted into corresponding trash cans.
As time passed, Lin Fan returned with a full load, riding a very spacious electric tricycle from the small seaside fishing village back to the homestay that some viewers were already very familiar with.
Then, the name of this variety show slowly appeared on the TV screen: The Yard of Longing.
The sun dimmed and night quietly approached. Lin Fan wore simple and comfortable home clothes, washed all the ingredients he had picked up, picked a handful of green vegetables in his backyard, opened the refrigerator, took out the other ingredients he had bought the day before, and started to cook dinner.
The dim light came on at some point, casting Lin Fan's shadow under his feet. With the sound of chopping vegetables, Lin Fan swiftly prepared three dishes and a soup, and brought them to the pavilion in the garden surrounded by flowers, enjoying them slowly by himself.
There were no extra people in the shot throughout the whole process. Only Lin Fan was cooking by himself. He would occasionally complain to himself or introduce the cooking method of a dish to the audience. Although he was alone, he did not look lonely at all.
On the contrary, when Lin Fan was picking crabs on the beach, the sound of the wind blowing in his face, the squeak of ingredients being put into the pot when he was cooking, the indistinguishable chirping of cicadas and birds in the garden when he was eating, and the few incomprehensible and unwritten dialect words floating in the distance, all made this world, which should have been lonely and desolate, full of the hustle and bustle of life.
The peaceful life and the noisy world blend together so magically and naturally.
At this moment, Qi Qi suddenly realized why this variety show was called "The Yard of Longing".
The camera slowly zoomed out, and the picture of Lin Fan eating alone gradually froze. Then, with a "click", the picture turned into a photo, which was shrunk and placed in a corner of the screen. Then more photos filled the entire screen, including some of Lin Fan alone, some of Lin Fan with other guests, and some of just scenery, food, or still lifes.
They are stacked together, a row of vertical text slowly appearing from right to left.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
One person, two houses, three meals, four seasons, I only wish to face the sea and see the flowers blooming in spring.
——Lin Fan
This sentence was like an arrow piercing the clouds, shooting out directly from the TV screen and hitting Qi Qi's heart!
"Is this the copywriting of Fanfan? It's really beautiful! Facing the sea, with spring flowers blooming, wow, it makes me want to go on vacation to the beach right now!"
"No, isn't the point that this is a show with no content at all, just Lin Fan cooking and eating, and we actually watched it all without missing a second?"
He Li couldn't accept it: "When did I have such low standards for variety shows?"
Qi Qi had no way to answer, so she had to save face: "Maybe because this is a pilot, so our requirements are relatively low? Look, doesn't the preview say that there will be guests in the next episode?"
"Okay, for the sake of the guest." He Li was barely persuaded, "Then let's see how the next episode performs. If the next episode still has the same content, I will definitely not give Lin Fan a good review of this variety show for Yanyan's sake."
Qi Qi also nodded seriously: "Yes, let's see how Lin Fan performs in the next episode!"
It's definitely not because I was inexplicably conquered by such a boring variety show, absolutely not! (End of this chapter)
