Chapter 434: The Style of Old Cadres

Just as Lin Fan and others were singing nursery rhymes with the children in the mountains, the fifth episode of "The Yard I Long For" was officially launched.

Unfortunately, Hui Qiaodan, who was well-loved by the audience, only recorded one episode of the show due to schedule reasons and had to leave before the fifth episode.

Hui Qiaodan herself didn't want to leave. After all, Lin Fan's yard was so comfortable that after experiencing it, she really didn't want to leave. But there was no other way. The agent came in person, so Hui Qiaodan had to follow him obediently.

In this episode, not only Hui Qiaodan is leaving, but also Li Xiaodong and Lu Bingyang. The audience, who were already prepared to accept that the two would stay in Lin Fan's yard forever, were a little uncomfortable with the fact that they did not have the title of permanent guests but exercised the rights of permanent guests.

Did Li Xiaodong and Lu Bingyang really leave? They really won't stay until the last episode of the whole season?

When Li Xiaodong and Lu Bingyang were around, everyone complained that these two people were not good at anything, but when they really left, everyone was still a little reluctant to see them go.

Some even said directly:

[A frank person doesn't talk behind people's backs: You two should just stay here. You two don't have many high-quality announcements anyway, so you might as well stay here.]

I have to say, you hit the nail on the head.

Unfortunately, the audience's wishes are beautiful, but the reality is cruel. The three guests familiar to the audience have left one after another, and Lin Fan received a new guest this time.

That is, Liu Zhengyan.

Liu Zhengyan's appearance came with his own BGM. He was wearing a pullover wool sweater with a large diamond check, a dark check shirt underneath, a brown jacket on the outside, black trousers, a pair of comfortable black cloth shoes, and a thermos cup in his hand.

The overall shape combines minimalist design with a clean and neat version, which is the best choice for veteran cadres to travel simply and get close to the grassroots.

Lin Fan went out to greet him and took Liu Zhengyan's luggage: "Teacher Liu! You are finally here!"

Liu Zhengyan replied cheerfully: "I've wanted to experience your yard for a long time, but unfortunately I never had the chance before. Now that I'm here, I'll stay for a few more days. Just don't look down on me for being too busy and too busy."

"How could that be? I'm so happy that Teacher Liu can come. Besides, I've written a few new songs recently and I was hoping to get some advice from you, Teacher Liu!"

"Well, forget about giving me pointers. Your creativity is obvious to all. Let's exchange ideas with each other!"

The two of them exchanged pleasantries as they walked towards the yard.

Liu Zhengyan had been to Lin Fan's homestay as a guest on the show "The Voice of China" last time, so he was not unfamiliar with this place. Sitting on the reclining chair under the garden pavilion, Liu Zhengyan said to Lin Fan, "Your environment is really nice. Go and do your own thing. I'll stay here for a while."

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll help you put your luggage in the room first, Teacher Liu. It's almost time for lunch. What would you like to eat for lunch, Teacher Liu?"

Liu Zhengyan said: "Let's have something light. I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach after sitting on the plane for several hours."

Lin Fan understood: "I understand, let's make something light and easy to digest."

Lin Fan helped Liu Zhengyan put away his luggage, then made a pot of tea for Liu Zhengyan and brought it to the pavilion in the garden before starting to prepare lunch.

Liu Zhengyan rested for a while, recovered his strength, and then slowly walked to the kitchen with the thermos cup. He stretched his head and looked at Lin Fan preparing lunch: "Do you need me to do anything?"

Lin Fan raised his head and smiled, "No need, Teacher Liu, just do whatever you want. I don't have so many rules or requirements here. Just do whatever you feel comfortable with."

Liu Zhengyan readily agreed: "That's right, the variety shows nowadays are really too busy. I feel tired just watching them on TV, and I don't know how tired the guests must be when they are recording."

Lin Fan chatted with Liu Zhengyan while cooking: "I haven't participated in it, but I heard that it's quite hard. Teacher Liu, you haven't participated in many variety shows, right?"

"It's less now, but back then, variety shows were all held indoors, with everyone chatting and playing games. It didn't take that long to record one episode, and sometimes we could do several shows a day. It's different now."

Most of the current variety shows are not professional and are outdoor variety shows. Sometimes, even an episode cannot be recorded in one day and they have to continue recording the next day.

For professional ones, such as the previous "The Voice of China", the recording of one episode actually takes about a day, because in addition to the content that the audience can see at the end, there are many rehearsals, stage designs and other links that the audience cannot see.

Therefore, in recent years, Liu Zhengyan has rarely participated in variety shows. Even if he did, he would choose shows like "Tian Lai" that are more professional in nature and mainly indoor variety shows.

Liu Zhengyan does not accept outdoor variety shows. Firstly, he does not like it, and secondly, he really does not have the energy and physical strength. In Liu Zhengyan's opinion, if he has time to participate in such variety shows, he might as well write a few more songs at home.

However, this time, Liu Zhengyan wanted to support Lin Fan's new variety show. After all, Lin Fan knew very few people in the circle, and the start of a new variety show always needs to have guests of sufficient weight to support it.

Secondly, he was attracted by Lin Fan’s characteristic of “slow variety show”, so when Lin Fan invited him, Liu Zhengyan agreed without hesitation.

Zhang Xinlan, Hui Qiaodan, Li Xiaodong and Lu Bingyang, although they had been informed by Lin Fan in advance that this variety show was mainly for relaxation and leisure, they still came with the mentality of completing a mission. After all, they had been involved in so many other variety shows that the artists had already developed a conditioned reflex.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

But Liu Zhengyan is different. He really came here with the intention of traveling.

The audience of "Longing for the Yard" was influenced by the joyful and somewhat funny atmosphere of the previous episodes, and they more or less had a certain cognitive bias in their understanding of "slow variety show". It was not until Liu Zhengyan came that he reinterpreted for the audience what slow life means.

While Lin Fan was cooking, Liu Zhengyan was chatting with Lin Fan casually beside him.

After the meal was ready, the two of them ate and chatted in the garden pavilion.

After finishing the meal, Lin Fan cleared the dishes and Liu Zhengyan took a walk along the garden and backyard to digest the food.

After cleaning up, Lin Fan held his guitar in the pavilion, waiting for Liu Zhengyan to order songs.

In a nutshell, Lin Fan is responsible for the work and Liu Zhengyan is responsible for the enjoyment.

The two people live a leisurely and comfortable life in this small courtyard in spring, which is the most ordinary and smooth life, but it does not make the audience feel bored.

On the contrary, it is the style of an old cadre like Liu Zhengyan, who does things slowly and steadily, that creates a feeling for the audience that time cannot pass by.

The gossips of family members, elders and juniors, in such a slow time, gradually solidified into an old photo with a dim warmth, and remained in people's memory forever.
