Returning to modern life, apart from being a little busier, life is much better than before. In a sense, Xu Qian still prefers modern life.
Life with a cell phone, WiFi, and air conditioning couldn't be better.
Perhaps because of this mood, Xu Qian seemed exceptionally 'friendly' today, radiating a gentle and warm charm at all times.
"Ah, today is a feast for those who appreciate good looks!" exclaimed several female staff members of the production team.
"Happy Party" is a variety show broadcast on Sanjiang TV during Friday prime time. The three hosts are some of the younger generation that Sanjiang TV has been promoting in recent years, which has led to a lot of criticism. Fortunately, with veteran host Jiao Lue keeping things in check, there have been no major problems.
Today's theme is twins, which fits the storyline of "Two Lives, One Dream". The program team invited three pairs of twins from all over the country, including academically gifted brothers from top universities, twin sisters from dance academies, and even twin siblings who look completely different.
At the start of the recording, it was naturally a routine introduction of today's guests, and incidentally, really just a side note, an introduction of their new drama.
As the center of attention, Sheng Huai was naturally the focus today, and even the cameraman paid special attention to him.
Before coming, Sheng Huai had read the script and answered all the questions raised by the host, which made the atmosphere relaxed and cheerful.
As an entertainment variety show, the effect of the program is very important. Unlike serious interview programs, the focus is on making the show as fun as possible.
Soon, it was time for an interactive segment, a test of teamwork.
Jiao Lue said, "Program crew—bring up the props: a small blackboard—you draw, I guess!"
Sheng Huai became the first test subject. Of course, everyone else was a real twin, but he didn't have a second Sheng Huai. So, he pointed and pulled Xu Qian over. If they were brothers, they would die together!
Jiao Lue laughed heartily, his eyes appearing particularly 'cunning'. "Who will draw, who will guess, you can discuss it yourselves."
“Then…” Sheng Huai glanced at Xu Qian and nodded, “I’ll guess.”
"Hmm." Xu Qian had no objection.
After a while, all the assigned people went up.
The first group consists of twin sisters.
Twins are twins after all; their level of understanding is extraordinary. They answered the first few relatively simple words almost instantly.
Soon, the ten-minute quiz time was up, and the sisters answered six out of ten questions correctly.
The second group was the team of Sheng Huai and Xu Qian.
"Come on, I believe in you!" Sheng Huai's expression, as if he were going to battle, was truly hilarious.
Xu Qian shook his head. The post-production team added the caption "Actually, I don't even believe myself" to his expression.
"Countdown - Begin - Question 1 -"
[plum bossom]
Almost immediately, Xu Qian picked up the chalk and started drawing on the blackboard. At the same time, the post-production team had already come up with the subtitles for this scene: "High energy ahead! High energy ahead! High energy ahead!"
No tree is perfectly straight. In Xu Qian's hands, an ordinary piece of chalk seems to be used for painting. With clean and neat strokes, the audience can even see the contrast between dry and wet, light and dark. The tree trunk is both solid and blurred, and the picture is extremely rich. It is not something that can be drawn in half a minute.
"plum bossom!"
The instant Sheng Huai finished speaking, Xu Qian ruthlessly erased the plum blossom picture from the blackboard and moved on to the next question—
[Zhou Yuyuan]
(The older brother of one of the male protagonists in "Two Lives Dream")
Xu Qian paused for two seconds, blinked, and then realized what he had thought of.
(At this point, the comments should be: High energy ahead! High energy ahead! High energy ahead!)
He picked up his brush again, and with a few strokes, he sketched the image of a scholar. Although it was just a simple profile, the dot under the eyelid was the finishing touch. It was at the moment that the mole was added that Sheng Huai shouted out the answer—"Zhou Yuyuan."
Xu Qian picked up the blackboard eraser again and wiped it away mercilessly as before. However, this time it drew regret from many people. After all, the blackboard was over before Mei Hua could even react. At least this time there was a warning.
Question 3: [Camera]
Xu Qian immediately turned to camera position number 2, his eyes appearing particularly sincere, which allowed the camera crew in front of the lens to obtain a lot of good footage.
He paused for nearly five seconds before starting. Unlike the artistic conception of the previous two paintings, he chose a realistic style for the third painting, creating a straight and mechanical image in one stroke.
"A camera?" Sheng Huai said.
“Three words,” Xu Qian prompted him.
"Camera!"
Oh, right!
Xu Qian erased the blackboard again and looked at the fourth question.
...
And so, everyone present endured an unusually long ten minutes. During those ten minutes, everyone began to doubt their own eyes or hands. Either there was something wrong with my eyes, or my hands were different from others'.
Even so, Sheng Huai and Xu Qian from the second group only answered eight questions correctly. Xu Qian didn't even have time to look at the last two questions before time ran out, which made him feel a little regretful.
The remaining two groups performed reasonably well; after all, even the most outstanding teamwork couldn't compare to Xu Qian's performance just now—his skills were so exceptional that they couldn't be overshadowed.
...
After the recording of this episode was completed, the production team approached Xu Qian, wanting to shoot a short video as a bonus for this episode.
"Teacher Xu, please draw whatever you like; we'd like it as a lucky charm." The other person even addressed him as "teacher," which made Xu Qian wave his hands modestly. Finally, after thinking for a moment, he wrote four large characters on the paper—
Heaven rewards diligence.
It flowed smoothly and was completed in one go!
I don't know why, but he has always been particularly fond of these four words.
But none of that matters. The director's eyes crinkled with laughter at the sight of those four words; he was already anticipating the buzz this episode would generate when it aired—Station Director! Bonus! Yes, I want it!
After a day of filming, as is customary, Jiao Lue treated the guests to dinner at Yushuiwan, a famous restaurant behind the Sanjiang TV station.
Cold-water fish, super delicious!
As the dinner party drew to a close, Xu Qian got up to go to the restroom. As soon as he stepped into the corridor, he noticed something bright and interesting.
It's a flash; someone is taking pictures secretly.
Thinking of this, Xu Qian subconsciously took a step back, but unexpectedly bumped into Xu Ruyan, an actress who was also leaving (who was a relative of the crew).
“I’m sorry,” he said.
"I feel a bit nauseous... ugh..." The other person reeked of alcohol, it was impossible to tell how many bottles they had drunk.
Xu Qian passively took her arm and stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do for a moment. Leaving seemed inappropriate and ungentlemanly, but staying was even more inappropriate. He wasn't good at handling this situation.
"Sister Yan..."
Fortunately, the other party's assistant arrived in time with a coat, and Xu Qian quickly handed her over, saying, "She seems to have drunk too much."
"Thank you, Sister Yan. Let me take you out. You can ride with me...yes..."
Xu Ruyan was helped away unsteadily by her assistant, and Xu Qian took the opportunity to go to the nearby restroom.
But he never expected that such an unexpected scene could be turned into an article by the media.
