Chapter 57 The fifty-seventh melon gift has finished filming the commercial performance...

After finishing the commercial performance, Xu Qingye and Yi He went to visit Shen Qing together. As soon as he entered the village, Xu Qingye frowned.

"Is this show so boring that there is not even a single photographer."

Xu Qingye asked Yi He to drive around the village. The village was very quiet and there was really no trace of any proxy photographers. Proxy photographers are always very powerful. Even if they go to the deep mountains and forests, they can find a tree with a suitable angle to squat. There was no trace here. It seemed that no one really came.

"Maybe the value for money is not high here. It's remote and there's nothing special about it."

Yi He looked at the guest list and found that only Shen Qing was relatively popular. The others were not famous at all. They were all 18th-tier unknown celebrities, so it was normal that there were no proxy photographers.

In the village, everything went on as usual. The guests were given a piece of land, some chickens and piglets, and they needed to earn today's meals through their own efforts.

It was obviously too late to wait for the things in the fields to grow before eating them, so they could only rely on working for the villagers in exchange for food.

When Xu Qingye arrived, Shen Qing was chasing pigs around the yard. She seemed to be adapting well and had a happy smile on her face.

Xu Qingye and Yi He walked over so confidently, and no one from the program crew tried to stop them. They even greeted them and looked very relaxed.

Shen Qing was busy all morning, catching pigs, cutting pig grass, feeding pigs, cleaning the yard, and preparing lunch. She worked efficiently and helped others after finishing her part. By noon, there was a table full of delicious dishes, and several villagers sat there without knowing where to start eating.

The director's camera zoomed in and took some close-ups of the dishes on the table. Shen Qing was very particular about cooking and made some plating arrangements, even carving patterns with carrots.

"She's more capable than I thought."

Xu Qingye turned his head and talked to Yi He. Yi He nodded, took out his camera and took a few pictures. The director next to him actually responded.

"I didn't have much confidence in the show originally, but Shen Qing's performance gave me confidence again. I think this show will definitely make a splash."

When the director got the plan, he actually had no confidence at all. What's the point of having celebrities farming and feeding pigs? But after filming for a while, he found it interesting. Everyone was good at making things happen, and the originally ordinary program immediately became interesting.

For example, last night, they were originally asked to help with the harvest, but a group of people started singing in the fields. The atmosphere was very good, and the villagers were encouraged to join in.

For example, to get the ducks out of the cage, they organized a duck racing competition. Although there was no result in the competition, it was very interesting. By letting the young people do the work, they seemed to have come up with a new way of playing. In short, it was much more interesting than expected.

Everything about life experience variety shows is unknown, so it is difficult to come up with any scripts. It all depends on the guests to perform freely, and the program team can only slightly control the direction.

This was just a test run, and from the director's point of view it was already a passing grade.

The director spoke passionately for a while, and finally reacted. He turned and looked at Xu Qingye.

"Oh, I forgot to ask, who are you?"

Xu Qingye's smile froze when he heard the director's words. It turned out that the director was not being outgoing, but just forgot to ask.

"We are Shen Qing's friends who came to visit her. We were worried that she was not doing well and brought some food with us. Now it seems a bit redundant."

Xu Qingye looked at Shen Qing who was stuffing a large piece of bacon into her mouth not far away. She looked extremely happy and had none of the baggage of a female star.

At least Xu Qingye had never seen any female star eat meat with such big mouthfuls.

"It's not much of a waste. If she doesn't want to eat it, we can. Since we've brought it here, let's keep it."

When the director heard that there was food, he was immediately excited. He originally thought that the food on the show was good, but after seeing the meal cooked by Shen Qing, he immediately felt that it was inferior. He had been thinking about where to get some food recently, and Xu Qingye just delivered it to his door.

Considering the remote location and the need to record a program, Xu Qingye brought some easy-to-cook food. He didn't bring much, just a trunk, and asked someone to unload the things. The director then pulled him over to praise Shen Qing.

"Xiao Shen is the most capable actress I have ever seen. With her around, I feel that no show is difficult. She can do anything well."

Xu Qingye nodded, and soon the group of people over there had washed the dishes and packed up their things, ready for the afternoon work. There was not much to do in the afternoon, and they mainly went to help repair a house in the village.

Xu Qingye stayed in the program crew for a whole day and took some photos. At around nine o'clock in the evening, Shen Qing finally took a break. After a busy whole day, Shen Qing still looked energetic.

She saw Xu Qingye early in the morning. When the director called for a break, she immediately ran over.

"Teacher Xu, why are you here?"

Shen Qing looked at Xu Qingye with some surprise, and Xu Qingye handed her a bag of fruits and snacks.

"I thought you were going to start recording your show, so I came to see you and brought you some food."

"That's so good. It's really touching."

Shen Qing packed her things and invited Xu Qingye to her home. She had been here for a while and got along very well with the villagers where she was staying.

Xu Qingye and Yi He followed Shen Qing to the room where she lived. The room was very cozy and even had a half-finished painting.

"It's a bit messy. I have many hobbies, so there are all kinds of things in my room."

Shen Qing put away her things and brought out two stools for them to sit on.

"I see you've adapted very well. You fit in well with the atmosphere of this show."

Xu Qingye looked at the unfinished painting. Shen Qing painted this village. The picture was very warm. The small village was surrounded by mountains, as if being embraced in a warm embrace. The warm color scheme made people feel warm.

"Coming here, I feel like I'm back home. The people here are very friendly and they like my handicrafts. Sometimes when I don't have to work, I trade my own food with them for ingredients. Three meals a day is enough anyway. I also teach them how to cook, and we'll go to the market together to sell it in a few days."

Shen Qing picked up a few bracelets woven with ropes from the table. The bracelets were exquisitely shaped and looked to be of intricate workmanship.

"I'm giving it to you. It's almost New Year, so keep it with you to ward off evil spirits."

Shen Qing stuffed a few bracelets into Xu Qingye's pockets. Although the program hasn't been aired yet and no one knows what the results will be, Shen Qing has been very happy recently. This period is the most relaxing time for her since she started working. She works as soon as she opens her eyes every day and rests when she is tired. She doesn't have to think about online comments, all kinds of messy data, or even how to match clothes. She can just pull out a set of clothes from the closet and put them on. No one will comment on her, and she won't be criticized for eating meat. In short, the air here smells of freedom.

Shen Qing and Xu Qingye talked about many interesting things, and Xu Qingye listened carefully.

"Have I talked too much? It's getting late. You should go to bed."

Shen Qing glanced at the time and stood up suddenly. She seemed to have wasted Xu Qingye's time too much.

"It's okay. We've booked a hotel in the county town and the car will drive there very quickly. I'm relieved to see that you're doing well."

Xu Qingye stood up with a smile, left with Yi He and got in the car. Xu Qingye flipped through his cell phone and found a lot of random messages, but no message from Shen Que.

"Strange, why didn't Shen Que report to me today?"

"She's a big star and very busy, okay? She's not your pet, how can she tell you everything?"

Yi He glanced at Xu Qingye, somewhat confused about how the relationship between the two had progressed. It seemed that there was no difference from before.

"Yes, he should be very busy recently."

Xu Qingye nodded and searched Shen Que's name on the Internet. Shen Que's recent popularity has been very objective. After signing the contract with the company, Shen Que has an official account, which is operated by the publicity team of Honor Films and Television and will release some of Shen Que's daily life and materials.

The official Weibo just updated a set of Reuters photos of Shen Que, only posting photos without saying what he was doing. In the photos, Shen Que was wearing a very casual cotton coat, and he glanced back casually. This very casual photo perfectly showed the sense of relaxation on Shen Que's body.

"This face is indeed suitable for the entertainment industry."

Xu Qingye used the ID "Genuine Ye" to like the official account and clicked to forward it.

Guo Ye is already a recognized fanatic fan of Shen Que. As soon as he forwarded the post, someone immediately asked him if he had followed Shen Que's schedule and wanted to see the high-definition photos of Shen Que that he had taken.

Indeed, Ye replied to a netizen, saying that he was a bit busy recently so he didn’t follow, but he would definitely go when he had time.

"Do you know anything about watches? Shen Que won the Best Actor award, and I haven't given him a gift yet. How about a watch?"

Xu Qingye browsed Weibo for a while and suddenly asked Yi He. Yi He was a trendy guy who knew a lot about luxury goods, so asking him was like asking an expert.

"What's your budget?"

Yi He was driving and casually asked, "Poor people play with cars, rich people play with watches. There is no upper limit to the price of watches."

"About 100,000 yuan. I'm a little short of funds recently."

Xu Qingye spoke a little embarrassedly. He was heavily in debt from starting his business and didn't have much money available at the moment.

"You should not buy a watch with this budget. You can give a pen or cufflinks. The gift should be something with low cost performance. Of course, the thought is the most important. It depends on what you want to give."

Yi He put forward his own suggestion. It's not that you can't buy a watch with 100,000 yuan, but you can't buy a good watch. Shen is indeed a public figure, and everything he wears will be magnified. Things with too obvious brands are actually not suitable for him.

Xu Qingye pondered for a moment and felt that what Yi He said made sense.

"Then I'll think about it."

The car drove towards the county town. It was already early morning when they arrived at the hotel. Xu Qingye was so sleepy that he fell asleep almost immediately after washing up.

We stayed in the village for another two days and shot some footage before leaving. There was no live broadcast in the first episode because it was all preparation work. From the second episode, the live broadcast room of the "Three Meals a Day" program team will begin. It is not a 24-hour live broadcast, but it will be open most of the time. Anyone who is interested can enter the live broadcast room at any time to watch the guests work, and anyone who clicks into the live broadcast room will be immediately promoted to a supervisor.

This program format is very novel. Watching the live broadcast before the main film will divert the program's traffic to some extent, but it can also prove the authenticity of the program. It has both advantages and disadvantages.

A lot of people flocked into the studio during the first live broadcast. There aren't many programs showing celebrities doing farm work, so most of them came in to watch the show for fun. But as soon as they entered the studio, they saw several guests chopping wood in the yard, with very skillful movements of the knives.

On the other side, a petite figure was chasing a pig and running towards the camera.
