"So, so easy to talk to?"
After hanging up the phone, Wang Mapi, who was prepared to be scolded again, felt a little flattered.
However, he waited and waited, from early morning until noon, and from noon until sunset, but he didn't even see the shadow of Qiao Qiao.
"She's playing tricks on me?" Wang Mapi was flattered.
He felt that his dignity as a director was challenged and was very angry!
At this moment, the flattering photographer Lao Niu spoke again, "Director, it's a pity she didn't come!"
"Think about it, in the first episode, we won't film anything, just a few more shots of her being late, and then focus on comparing her diligence with the other guests..."
"With this level of buzz and this level of blackmail, isn't that enough?"
"Don't forget, we still have the National Best Actor, Chen!"
As a veteran actor, although Actor Chen's personality is a bit naive and out of step with the times, it is precisely because of this that his popularity among the public and his connections in the circle are unmatched by ordinary people.
If what the flattering photographer said is true, they really don't need to throw dirty water on Qiao Qiao anymore. They just need to make a comparison between the scene where Actor Chen is working hard and Qiao Qiao is not only late but also has to pick peaches. Not to mention other passers-by, Actor Chen's fans alone will be enough to scold Qiao Qiao to the point of autism.
"Not bad, not bad."
Wang Mapi imitated the director's previous behavior and gave Lao Niu an appreciative smile.
But he thought that he was different from the previous director Chang Aigui. After all, although he also liked to listen to flattery, his brain was much more effective than Chang Aigui's!
He has real skills!
So after nodding and praising Lao Niu, he also explored this good idea in depth and planned to find the most tiring and difficult job in the village for the guests present!
"This way people can see how hard it is for us mountain people to pick medicinal herbs, right?"
Ma Pi said this with great righteousness.
Then, when the sun was high in the sky, Qiao Qiao, who had finally forced himself to separate from Jindouzi, went down the mountain and saw a group of guests wearing fishing clothes and with expressions of despair, saying - they were going to dig out manure!
Qiao Qiao: “???”
Digging out manure??!
The corners of Qiao Qiao's mouth twitched, and he looked at everyone with a look of dismay.
"Well, can anyone explain to me why these directors always have a problem with Mita?"
No one could explain it.
Everyone's pretty faces were covered with tired smiles.
Ma Dashan, with no hair left and charred skin, wrapped in several layers of gauze and walking like a zombie, completely stood on Wang Mapi's side, with a crooked mouth, pointing fingers at others.
"What's wrong with digging rice fields?"
"In our countryside, these are all treasures and need to be turned into compost."
“Without them, where would the food come from?”
"I think you city people are just spoiled. Apart from looking better than us villagers, you're useless!"
Everyone was unable to refute what Ma Dashan said and their faces looked very ugly.
Qiao Qiao also felt that no matter what Ma Dashan's character was, what he said made some sense.
So she covered her nose, nodded deeply, and then began to ask seriously, "Since you are so experienced and capable, why don't you go down and empty half the pond and give us a sample?"
“…”
Ma Dashan's mocking expression suddenly stopped, and he retreated in a panic, "I, I'm still injured!"
"That's right, that's right!"
Seeing this, Qian Xiaoying stepped forward and pointed at Qiao Qiao, cursing, "You heartless thing! Your father is injured like this, and you don't even say a word of concern. You still want him to work. Are you still a human being?"
Qiao Qiao thought this made sense and admitted it directly, "I'm not sure if I'm human, but you are definitely. Look at how proud your husband is. We've been married for a long time, you definitely don't want to embarrass him, right?"
"Or, why don't you go down and empty half the pond for him?"
Qian Xiaoying turned her head subconsciously.
Ma Dashan was still looking at her, as if he thought what Qiao Qiao said made sense, and began to urge her with his eyes.
Qian Xiaoying: “…”
Qian Xiaoying didn't know whether she was angry or disgusted, and she was speechless.
She retreated dejectedly, imitating Ma Dashan's behavior.
The two most "capable" people present both expressed their inability to handle such a "daunting" task. Why would anyone else be so foolish as to volunteer? They looked at Qiao Qiao with admiration, then rolled their eyes and began to join her in the fray.
Isn’t it just getting scolded?
It's not so scary when we're all together.
What's more, the program setting was unanimously refuted by the guests, and it is not certain who will be scolded then!
And they wanted these things, so did Wang Mapi. He wanted to trick Qiao Qiao, but he didn't want to trick the program team himself!
"Mr. Chen, look..."
He wanted to encourage Chen, the actor who was particularly easy to talk to in this program, but before he could finish his words, he was scolded by the young branch secretary who came hurriedly.
"If you're not a professional and don't have professional equipment, can you just enter the pit?"
"You idiot, do you know that methane explosions can kill people?"
"Even if the methane doesn't explode, you're still very likely to be poisoned if you don't take any protective measures, are you aware?"
"Crackle, crackle, crackle—"
Behind him, the old village chief, smoking a pipe and arriving late, saw the young branch secretary who was so irritable that even he didn't dare to stop him, and made a sharp comment: "Even someone as good-tempered as the young branch secretary was forced to call him an idiot. I think this assistant director is really an idiot."
This time, it wasn't just Qiao Qiao who nodded, but also the host Cui Weiwei behind her, as well as some unknown trainees.
As for the good guy actor Chen?
Well, he failed to mediate the fight and was scolded along with Wang Mapi.
Half an hour later.
The excrement removal task succeeded or failed, but the fertilization task was successfully received.
Wang Mapi was scolded so much that he was led by the young branch secretary to the Xinxiang industry in their village and the two-acre medicinal material experimental field that was being managed by Grandpa Tao and his men.
They were asked to fertilize the seedlings in the two small medicinal fields one spoonful at a time.
"Because this is an experimental field, this work must be done meticulously."
"The amount of fertilizer should be neither too much nor too little, and digging the hole is also very particular..."
But when they got here, the old village chief who had been silent all the time finally had something to say. He made a series of small requests, which made everyone almost dumbfounded.
After making his request, he couldn't help but smack his lips. "Honestly, this job is not easy. Fortunately, you are here! Otherwise, I really wouldn't want us villagers to suffer this."
Everyone: “…”
Everyone looked at each other, their lips twitching, and they all wanted to say: To be honest, there is really no need to say the last sentence.
The old village chief saw the expressions on everyone's faces and knew he had said the wrong thing. However, instead of curbing his arrogance, he became even more aggressive and took Qiao Qiao away with him when he left.
Well, Qiao Qiao is also from their village!
As for the reason?
