Chapter 16: Fighting In the history of variety shows, it was the first time that a guest had a fight in public...
The first filming location was in a township in Jiangcheng called Sishui Township. Ning Heng used two words to describe it: beautiful mountains and clear waters, and ancient and tranquil.
Gao Luo's mind automatically started translating. What he meant was a poor and remote place with a sparsely populated area.
Ning Heng then invited the village chief to explain to everyone.
While the village chief was speaking, some villagers gathered around him. When they heard that these people were from the TV station, it was as exciting as watching a peep show.
Sishu Village is located in a remote area, and many elderly people in the village have never even left the provincial capital in their lives. They have only seen this scene on TV, and they never thought that they might appear on TV one day.
For the older generation, being on TV is quite an honor.
Jun frowned as he looked at the people gradually gathering around him. He thinks the countryside is dirty and the people there are dirty too, and he doesn't like it.
The village chief is in his forties, thin, with dark skin and many wrinkles on his face. He looks like an old man, but he is in good spirits and has bright eyes.
He introduced in a resonant voice: "Welcome everyone to visit us. Our village has a history of more than 300 years. The buildings are old and the scenery is beautiful... This may sound a bit exaggerated, but it is the truth. You will know when you go in."
When he said this, his fellow villagers gathered around him laughed out loud.
The mayor continued, "On behalf of all the villagers in Sishui Township, I welcome you all here. I hope that your youthful energy can revitalize our village."
After the village chief finished speaking, the villagers automatically applauded him.
Amid the uneven applause, Jun couldn't help but mutter: "The village is too old..."
Old means backwardness and poverty; his family members told him so and he remembered it.
More than three hundred years... He couldn't imagine how dilapidated the house must be.
Jun forgot that he was wearing a lavalier mic, and his voice was picked up clearly by the microphone.
Everyone present heard it, and the people in the live broadcast room heard it too.
[Say that in front of the village head. How unemotional!] 】
[Just now I said this child can talk...]
Fans rushed to help explain:
[Where does a child get emotional intelligence? He just says whatever he thinks. Besides, it wasn't that harsh. 】
[Children’s words should not be restrained. Children’s words should not be restrained.] 】
The village chief looked embarrassed.
Jun didn't react to what happened, Wen Cheng spoke first: "The kid is just talking nonsense, don't bother with him, village chief."
The village head said awkwardly: "What the little kid said is true. He is indeed old."
In front of a group of glamorous and worldly-wise city people, backward villages and backward people will fall into an indescribable inferiority complex.
When the village chief was at a loss, he heard a clear voice: "It is more than 300 years old, so it must be the ancestor. It is the ancestor, so amazing."
The village chief looked in the direction of the voice and saw a fair and pretty little girl. The little girl opened her eyes wide with an expression of amazement.
When the village chief saw her, he immediately smiled.
[Who says children have no emotional intelligence? Our A-Luo has high emotional intelligence and can help others out of trouble. 】
[This is what it means to be able to speak and be truly sensible.] 】
Jun's fans heard the hidden meaning in their words and immediately scolded back:
[Is this Gao Luo trying to gain attention by stepping on our Jun? 】
[What a scheming little kid.] 】
[You are uneducated. Is this how the originator used it? Maybe you’ve been browsing your phone too much and learned some new internet terms and started using them indiscriminately. 】
Some netizens said Gao Luo was scheming and uneducated, and they couldn't stand it:
[You call impoliteness the talk of children, and call other people's efforts to help you out scheming. You are really good at double standards. 】
[You still say she is uneducated. Why don’t you look it up in the dictionary…]
[The ancestor means the ninth generation, and more than three hundred years old is almost the ancestor's generation. 】
[He obviously used his brain before speaking, unlike some people...]
The village chief looked at Gao Luo and asked with a smile: "You are so young, and you still know the originator."
Gao Luo nodded: "I know a lot."
"Then what do you think is in front of the ancestor?"
Gao Luo counted on her fingers and said, "Ancestors, great ancestors, great ancestors, great ancestors, heavenly ancestors... I not only know the nine generations before me, I also know the nine generations after me."
People like to curse others’ ancestors for eighteen generations on the Internet, but few people know what these eighteen generations specifically refer to.
Gao Luo not only knew her ancestors for eighteen generations, she also understood all the relatives within the nine clans and five generations.
The reason why she was loved by the elders since she was a child was that in every family gathering, she could accurately and affectionately call out the names of even distant relatives whom she only met once a year.
Gao Shule couldn't do this. She was most afraid of the Chinese New Year and other holidays because as a junior, she had to call people when she attended parties, but she didn't know those people at all. Every time her parents asked her to call for help, she felt helpless. This was also the time when she envied Xie Ran the most.
Gao Luo knew all this, and Gao Shule didn't find it strange because she had a knowledgeable sister.
The older generation attached great importance to clan relationships, but people nowadays take these relationships lightly and don’t know much about them.
When the village chief saw that Gao Luo, such a young child, actually understood all these things, he immediately became very fond of her.
Wen Cheng noticed the change in the village head's attitude and emotional inclination. Although it was Jun who said the wrong thing just now, he was in the same group with Jun, and the consequences of the child's behavior should be paid by the adults.
Wen Chengli's character is that of an approachable actor. He pays attention to his popularity and wants to win back some goodwill, so he said to the village head: "Village head, I just heard you say that your place is called Sishui Village. Is there any saying behind it?"
Taking the initiative to ask a question that is relevant to the other party and the other party clearly knows the answer to it is a very effective communication skill.
Sure enough, the village head nodded and said, "Yes, there is a reason for the name of our village."
However, the village chief did not give a direct answer, but kept the question a secret: "Why don't you guess? Whoever guesses correctly can have dinner at my house tonight."
Rural food has little appeal to a group of celebrities who live a life of luxury, and some even look down on it.
Ning Heng was afraid that some guest would say something offensive again, so he added: "The program team will not provide dinner tonight. I will explain the specific situation when I release the tasks later. I can only remind you to cherish this benefit of the township head."
Most of the artists were not doing a variety show for the first time, and having watched the first season, they immediately became serious about it.
But they had no idea what rules there were for naming towns and villages.
Wen Cheng looked at Gao Luo and said, "Little Luo is so smart, why don't you guess first?"
He thought the same as his fans, that Gao Luo was a child who loved to show off. If she knew the answer, she would definitely tell it at the first opportunity.
It's embarrassing not being able to answer a question in front of so many people. He was sure that Gao Luo would not be able to say it, and wanted to put an end to her arrogance - even though Jun said the wrong thing, after all, she was his child and he had to protect her.
Gao Luo didn't even look at him when she heard this. She just said to the village chief, "Is it because there are four water outlets in this place?"
The village chief's eyes suddenly lit up: "How did you know?!"
"I saw it." Gao Luo said, "When we came here, the car drove around the village and I saw a water outlet in each of the four directions of the village."
It takes one and a half hours to get from the airport to Sishui Township. You have to take the highway, pass the provincial capital, and go to the countryside. The road conditions are complicated and many guests were made restless by this journey.
Only Luo, who had had enough sleep on the plane, felt very energetic after landing.
She kept her eyes open for the entire hour and a half in the car. Except when she was chatting with Gao Shule and her eyes were on her, she was looking out the window the rest of the time.
Gao Shule thought she was just looking at the scenery. After all, how could a child remember the way? She was in her twenties and couldn't even figure out the directions in a strange place, while Luo was only five and a half years old.
She didn't expect that Gao Luo was not only really looking at the road, but she also remembered it.
When entering the village, Gao Luo noticed that the driver deliberately circled the edge of the village before driving in. At first she didn't understand the purpose, but now she knows, and that's where he's waiting.
She originally thought that if no one answered, she'd better not speak. She did embarrass Jun and other guests several times today, and she should restrain herself a little.
Who knew that the other party would actually take the initiative to cue her? Now that the cue had been made, it definitely wouldn't be what he wanted.
[Our A-Luo is so smart! 】
What is a water outlet? Can someone explain this to me? This is the first time I hear this word. 】
[It means exactly what it says, the outlet and inlet of water flow.] The ancients believed that water brings wealth, so in terms of feng shui, the four water mouths are very good locations. But I'm curious how a child like her knows all this. 】
[She probably doesn't understand Feng Shui. She just simplified the term for the entrance and exit of water into "Shuikou", which happened to coincide with a professional term in Feng Shui. 】
[Then her observation skills are also very strong.] 】
It was indeed an intentional arrangement for the car to drive around the village. Most artists live a life of luxury, and their daily travel arrangements are taken care of by assistants. Ning Heng actually didn't expect that anyone would notice this detail.
Gao Luo really exceeded his expectations. This was the second time today that she made him look at her with new eyes.
The village chief was so happy that he walked over quickly, touched her head, and said, "Let's go to grandpa's house."
As he was about to take Gao Luo away, Ning Heng hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. We still have one more step to go."
"There's another one? It's already two o'clock, can't we have a lunch break?" The village chief was shocked.
"We have to proceed to the next stage before we can have a lunch break." Ning Heng said, "The guests' accommodation has not been decided yet."
There are no hotels or inns in the village, so the guests can only stay in the villagers' homes. The program team talked to five families, each living in a different environment, and they needed to make their own choices and strive for it.
Ning Heng led the guests to the homes of the five families and let them get to know the situation of each family first.
Sishu Township is divided into the east and west parts. The conditions in the west part are better, with basically all buildings, and the population mainly consists of middle-aged people. There are mostly old houses in the eastern part of the village, and most of the people there are elderly.
This time the filming was concentrated in the eastern part of the village. The living environment is not as good as that in the western part of the village, but it is not as backward as imagined.
After the country introduced various poverty alleviation policies, rural areas are now gradually transforming towards modernization.
Entering from the small path, at a glance, the front row is basically bungalows.
The guests were mentally prepared and did not find it strange to see the bungalow. What was strange was that there was a three-story villa at the entrance.
The villa covers a large area and is built in Chinese style, with a sloping roof made of black and blue tiles, circular hollow carved windows, and an outer wall covered with blooming roses. An iron gate was installed, through which you can see a patch of roses planted in the yard and two stone lions built at the door of the house. Looking up, there is a terrace on the third floor, enclosed by a glass fence. There are tables and chairs on the terrace, which makes it obvious that it is a place to drink tea.
The conditions are so good, they are no different from houses in the city, which made the guests very excited.
"Can't we live here?" Feng Daiyue asked.
"We haven't negotiated this yet. The owner won't let us stay here." Ning Heng reminded them, "When we're filming the show in the next few days, there will be a task to be done. You must skip this house. The owner doesn't like to be disturbed."
[Why?] 】
[It’s obvious that he’s a local tyrant. Why are you asking why?] . 】
How did you know? 】
[First, they don’t like to be disturbed by others, which means they don’t need to maintain friendship with the villagers; second, it can be seen that this family’s daily life is drinking tea and growing flowers. They built a villa in an area where people's economic conditions are generally poor. Note that they only have one villa, but they still live a very leisurely and comfortable life. This is no longer a matter of being rich, it's a matter of power, because it's too high-profile, it will cause red-eye disease no matter where you put it. 】
[Maybe it's the village chief's house. The village chief... well, just ignore what I said.]
The camera showed an old man walking out of the villa. He was very old, with most of his hair white and wrinkles all over his face like they were carved by a knife. He was leaning on a cane, but he was very imposing. He looked ferocious, and called out to the village head through the iron gate: "What's going on? I told you not to film, so why did you bring people in?"
The cane kept tapping the ground as he spoke.
The village head smiled and nodded repeatedly, "This... is for everyone's good. Don't worry, Uncle Cao, I have already talked to the production team. I promise that no one will disturb you and your aunt in the next few days!"
The village chief's flattering attitude basically determined that the other party was undoubtedly a local bully.
The guests understood what was going on and no longer thought about the house.
According to the order of the visit, from front to back, the houses the guests stayed in were numbered one to five.
No. 1 has the best conditions and is one of the few two-story buildings in the east of the village. The host was very nice and was willing to lend the entire second floor to the guests.
Building No. 2 is also a building, but it is smaller and the decoration is simpler.
The conditions of No. 3 and No. 4 are similar. Although they are not buildings, they are well-decorated bungalows. The bathroom in No. 3 even has a shower with a rain head, and the toilet also uses a toilet. There is actually not much difference from those in the city.
Number five is relatively the worst, it is a brick house, but it is very clean.
After visiting five houses, Bian Yuan asked, "Isn't there a sixth house?"
There are six groups of guests, and there is one missing.
"No." Ning Heng said, "The group of guests who didn't get a house can either knock on the doors of other villagers and ask them to stay with them, or go with us to the hotel in town."
"Go stay in a hotel? Why does this sound like a good thing?" Feng Daiyue said.
Ning Heng: "If I stay in a hotel, I won't do a live broadcast."
What this means is that the effective shots of this group of guests were greatly reduced.
Without the camera, the audience cannot see you, and your popularity and popularity will fall behind other groups of guests, so there is no point in participating in this variety show.
Smart people know that this hotel is not a good place to stay.
"How do we divide the five houses? By drawing lots?"
"Let the children choose. Whoever they choose, they will stand in the main hall of that family, which means that this place is occupied by you." Ning Heng paused and said, "First come, first served."
Feng Daiyue thought about it for a moment and said, "Isn't this unfair to us? Vera is the youngest, she can't run."
Ning Heng said: "You can hold them in your arms or on your back. The two little girls are allowed to run with the head of the family."
Feng Daiyue felt that it still didn't work. Feng Ximi was too fat, it was difficult for her to hold him, let alone run.
She discussed with other guests: "Can we have our group? Our Vera is so young, she will definitely not be able to outrun your kids."
[Isn’t there a second method?] 】
[She may not be able to hold him, or she may be able to hold him but cannot run. In any case, she definitely does not have the physical strength. 】
Since Feng Daiyue said so, the other guests couldn't refuse and agreed to her request.
She said, "Thank you so much, I'll leave the best house for you, I'll just choose number two."
Number two is a building, and her words made the other guests feel uncomfortable, as if they were taking advantage of something.
After Feng Daiyue finished her selection, the other five children began to prepare.
Gao Shule squatted down and turned her back to Gao Luo: "Let me carry you."
"No need." Gao Luo said affirmatively: "I can run."
"Can you...?"
"It will work! It will work!"
Gao Luo is full of confidence.
She wants to choose number three. Compared with the size of the house, she cares more about the bathroom. The bathroom must be modern. She doesn't want to squat in a dry toilet.
After Ning Heng announced "start", the five children rushed out.
Gao Luo runs very fast, like a little leopard. She was the first to rush forward, followed closely by the kid from Bian Yuan's group, Zhang Tianen.
Gao Luo was on the verge of victory, but when she was about to score, she felt a sudden pain on her scalp - the right ponytail of her double ponytail was pulled back by someone.
She was in so much pain that tears came out.
The man grabbed her hair and rushed into the house.
Gao Luo didn't even see the person, she just reached out and grabbed the back of his collar, with quick, accurate and ruthless movements, she tore four lines on the skin of his neck.
Zhang Tianen cried out in pain and turned around to push Gao Luo.
House number one was occupied by Zeyin, so Jun set his sights on house number four. When he passed by house number three, he saw the scene above.
He was no longer in a hurry to occupy the room, but stood aside to watch the show.
He saw Gao Luo being pushed to the ground by Zhang Tianen, and Zhang Tianen took the opportunity to occupy room number three. Only then did he run away secretly with joy.
When Gao Shule arrived, she saw Gao Luo sitting on the ground. Her two ponytails were originally tied up neatly, one was tied normally, and the other was loosely tilted on her head. Tears as big as beans were still falling down her face.
Gao Shule's heart suddenly tightened. She rushed over and hugged the man into her arms, and then she started crying: "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Zhang Tianen pulled my hair and pushed me. I fell on my butt and it hurt so much!" Gao Luo screamed and burst into tears.
Gao Luo cried very hard and exaggeratedly. She wanted to let others know the seriousness of the matter.
When Bian Yuan heard that Zhang Tianen was involved, he hurried to look for him, but he didn't expect that the fat boy was standing in the main room of room three with an unrepentant look on his face.
"Apologize!" Bian Yuan ran over and urged him, "Hurry up! How badly have you bullied your sister?!"
"She grabbed me too!" Zhang Tianen reached for the back of his neck with his right hand, and his fingers were stained with red marks, which were blood.
Bian Yuan asked him to turn around with his back to him, and he saw four bloody marks on the back of Zhang Tianen's wrinkled neck.
This...he was in a dilemma for a moment.
Although Gao Luo was crying, she was always paying attention to the situation over there. After hearing what Zhang Tianen said, he immediately accused him.
"He was the one who pulled my hair first! I ran over here, but he grabbed me and even my hair fell out! Do you know how strong his grip was and how much it hurt me?"
Bian Yuan didn't know what to do. Reason told him that it was Zhang Tianen's fault, and Gao Luo's counterattack was justified anyway. But Zhang Tianen was his boss's son, and he didn't dare to force him.
Ning Heng saw that Bian Yuan was still hesitating, so he walked over and patiently persuaded him: "Tian En, you were the first to hurt your sister, so you need to apologize to her. Boys should have the courage to admit their mistakes, right?"
"Yes! As long as we can admit our mistakes and correct them, we will still be excellent little men." Bian Yuan agreed.
Bian Yuan is an employee of his father's company. They have met each other before. Zhang Tianen is not afraid of him at all, but he is a little afraid of Ning Heng. Ning Heng looked like he was discussing something with him, but in fact his words were very oppressive.
He walked over reluctantly and said to Gao Luo, "I'm sorry."
Gao Luo glared at him: "I didn't hear it."
Zhang Tianen had no choice but to close his eyes, open his mouth, and yell at the top of his lungs: "I'm sorry!"
Gao Luo snorted heavily: "Even if you apologize, I will not forgive you! The mistake you made has become a fact. You are a rubbish person! You will never be a good man!" Gao Luo said viciously.
The little boy, who had always been praised by his parents for peeing far since he was young, had never heard such derogatory words about himself. His face turned red, "You!"
He was about to push Gao Luo again, but Ning Heng at the side quickly blocked his "claws".
At this moment, Gao Luo broke free from Gao Shule's embrace at lightning speed and pushed her hands forward. The fat boy lost his balance and was pushed backward by her, falling on his back.
"Hmph! Let's go!" Gao Luo pulled Gao Shule away.
Even after walking a long way, I could still hear Zhang Tianen crying and screaming behind me.
"What should we do now? All five houses are occupied." PD Duanduan asked their plans.
"We'll look for it ourselves. Lele, you go over there, and I'll go over here. If we split up and look, we'll definitely find villagers who are willing to give us a place to stay."
Duanduan thought for a moment and said, "If you hadn't pushed Tianen just now, maybe his house could be returned to you. Because he took it by force and broke the program rules, the director has the right to ask him to give up the house."
After Zhang Tianen fell, Ning Heng hurriedly told Bian Yuan to comfort the child, and then followed Gao Luo's group over.
He heard Duanduan's words and nodded: "Yes, if you didn't push that time..."
If Gao Luo hadn't pushed that time, she would have been the weaker party in the right. But after that push, although she was still in the right, she could no longer be considered the weaker party because she had avenged herself.
Zhang Tianen has a strong and unreasonable personality, and there is no way he will give up the house.
"I'm going to push him! How can he know how much pain others feel unless he falls once!" Gao Luo spoke in a firm tone and her attitude was also extremely firm.
She doesn't need an apology, she needs empathy.
Gao Luo has always advocated an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
Gao Luo asked Gao Shule to help her tie the other ponytail again, and then they went to look for a house separately.
Before they parted, she told Gao Shule: "Lele, don't feel pressured. Just take a look. If you don't dare to ask, then don't go. Even if you can't find it, I will definitely find it. Don't worry!"
When he said this, his voice was soft and gentle, and he had regained his usual cute appearance, like a completely different child from when he just fought back against Zhang Tianen.
The longer Ning Heng spent with Gao Luo, the more interesting he found this child. He thought he knew her well enough and that she would soon do something that would surprise him.
In addition to Gao Luo, he feels that the combination of Gao Luo and Gao Shule is more filmable than other guest groups. The little one is independent-minded and has execution ability, clear thinking and clear goals, while the adult is weak and seems like the one being taken care of.
Each group has only one follower cameraman. After Gao Luo and Gao Shule separated, cameraman Jin Qi was assigned to follow Gao Shule, while Gao Luo was followed by Duanduan.
Ning Heng didn't follow him. He called Xu Man and asked, "Two kids are fighting. Did the live broadcast room have a commotion?"
Xu Man nodded: "It's a big deal, it's trending on the Internet, it's all over the place."
It was within Ning Heng's expectations.
This is the first time in the history of variety shows that guests are fighting in public. It would be strange if it didn't explode.
It’s been less than an hour since I arrived in Sishui Township, and there have been two trending searches in a row, one at a high level, and one that went viral, both of which are related to Gao Luo.
How come Gao Luo is not considered the lucky star of this show?
"What do the audience say? Who do they support?" Ning Heng asked.
"Most of them support Luo." Xu Man said as he handed him the phone.
Ning Heng saw that most of the people in the square supported A-Luo:
[If apologies are useful, what do we need the police for! ! 】
[Zhang Tianen has gone astray. It will be too late if we don't educate him. His parents really have to thank Gao Luo for helping him this time. It will teach him a lesson. 】
[A Luo did the right thing!] It’s no use being patient when you’re bullied, you have to fight back! Of course, this is only possible if you are sure you can do it. If you can't, you still have to run away. 】
[Thanks to the production team for not saying anything about children fighting and adults should not interfere in such matters. They should intervene when necessary. 】
[Luckily the little bun was pushed back, otherwise my breasts would not be able to bear it! 】
…
Ning Heng understood what was going on and returned the phone.
Half an hour passed and there was no progress on Gao Shule's side. Although Luo told her that she didn't need to go if she didn't want to ask, how could she really put all the pressure on Luo? This was a matter between the two of them.
Gao Shule nervously asked three families, but was rejected by all of them. Just when she was at a loss, the cameraman's intercom rang.
It was Duanduan's voice on the other end.
"Little Luo has found a family to stay with. You guys should head towards the village entrance now."
Jin Qi conveyed Duanduan's words to Gao Shule, and they returned together.
[Our little A'Luo must take action and win!] 】
[Village entrance?] Which household? 】
[We’re almost at the end, don’t tell me it’s the local boss…]
[No way, the director said we can’t disturb that family, and the village chief also said we can’t disturb them. 】
[That grandfather is so fierce, even to the village chief. . 】
Gao Shule and Jin Qi were almost at the end of the road, and the only thing left in the camera was the three-story villa and the two families next to it.
Just when netizens were guessing that it was one of the households next door, the iron gate of the villa was opened with a clang.
A little person with red eyes came out from the crack of the door. She waved at Gao Shule: "Lele, I'm here."
Duanduan stood behind the little man, and Jin Qi asked uncertainly: "Is it... this household?"
Duanduan nodded: "It's this one."
