Chapter 57 Qingcheng Mountain Hidden in the Mountains
Qingcheng Mountain in Shu City has been very lively recently.
Even before the two-week temple fair in Qianshan Town ended, the production team for "The Call of the Mountains" was already gearing up and officially launching. This variety show, with its generous investment and brilliant planning, has been a constant hit since its first season, surpassing almost all other online programs of the same period in terms of buzz.
Most importantly, the fifth season broke with tradition by adopting a multi-camera live broadcast method throughout the show, and successfully carried out several waves of promotions on short video platforms, so that the number of online users reached more than 500,000 with only three days left before the show was broadcast.
As a blogger in the entertainment industry, Li Lan is also one of the many drama fans.
While excitedly waiting for the show to start, a netizen sent a PK quiz vote in the barrage.
Who are the top male guests in Season 5? a. Xiao Xu b. Liu Yichi c. Chen Songling
[This question and answer will be meaningless if you don't choose c.]
[A is a movie star, B is a popular singer, and C is the Crown Prince Huiyao!]
[If you want to play with the memes, you can choose Xiao Xu, but if you really want to answer the questions, it has to be Chen Songling [狗头]]
Li Lan's mouth twitched.
Since the reshoots of "Wangxiantai" were completed, she has not been in the same crew with Chen Songling and Jiang Bei, but because of a certain unspeakable revolutionary friendship, they still send group text messages occasionally during festivals.
I didn’t expect that the popularity of this Prince Huiyao is still so... fragmented.
She thought about it and replied objectively: "Actually, Chen Songling is pretty good. He's sincere after all."
[? ? Did you start washing before the show even aired? ]
【Woohoo, thank you sister for talking to Songguo><】
[Don't act like a passerby, traffic fans. You know your own character.]
Li Lan: ...
As expected, he brought disaster upon himself.
Before she could think about it, the live broadcast screen finally froze. A scroll depicting mountains, rivers, flowers and trees slowly unfolded with the background music of ancient style and charm. The large ink characters "The Call of the Distant Mountains" gradually emerged, and in the lower right corner, the vermilion seal characters "A Dream of Qingcheng" were written.
[Wow! The special effects this season are pretty good!]
[Ahhh, I'm in Qianshan Town watching the temple fair! Where did I run into the production crew?]
They had informed the venue in advance that they would not go to the crowded tourist area.
[Here we go! The first one to get off the bus is indeed Sister Wan! She's a seasoned player, haha.]
The black nanny car stopped at the foot of the mountain. Wan Ning greeted the camera skillfully, and then naturally took on the role of a mentor for the newcomers, explaining the rules and procedures.
After a while, Chen Songling and Jiang Bei arrived late, each dragging an extremely large suitcase and appearing on the live broadcast screen.
Wan Ning quipped in surprise, "Xiao Jiang, Xiao Chen, are you moving?"
Jiang Bei glanced at Chen Songling and coughed, "I was worried it would be cold on the mountain, so I brought some extra clothes."
Chen Songling pushed up his sunglasses and began to establish a cool personality: "Sorry for being late."
The barrage of comments drifted past [loading].
Zhong Xue kindly offered a helping hand: "It's a bit cold on the mountain, and girls usually carry more."
[Such a thoughtful girl, kiss~]
Is this the runner-up in the music competition? Her makeup looks great, she looks like the girl next door.
【Completely beat a certain female internet celebrity. 】
[The one above? Please don’t drag me down, okay? ? ]
[That's right, you're late for the show and you don't let me say anything? ]
[Why are you late? It's because others arrived earlier.]
Li Lan was embarrassed and silently added "late" to the barrage shield.
Wan Ning curled his lips and passed the topic over, then began to explain the first phase process on behalf of the director team.
"The Call of the Mountains" is typically divided into three or four stages, each with a small task for the guests to complete. These tasks provide a natural and entertaining way to learn about the scenery, culture, and history. The first stage of "A Dream of Qingcheng," titled "Hidden in the Mountains," involves six guests divided into three groups. Starting from different mountain trail entrances, they must solve puzzles along the way to obtain clues and find the route to the destination. The last group to arrive will receive a small penalty.
"Oh, that means Teacher Xiao and I are in one group, and Liu Yichi and Zhong Xue are in another," Wan Ning said, holding the random assignment sheet handed over by the production team. "Chen Songling and Jiang Bei are in one group."
[…Oh no! The prince meets the young lady, a recipe for disaster.]
[The production team is so ridiculous! Why did they come up with the idea of putting these two together? Won't the fans get into a fight?]
[Hehe, no one cares as I eat a bite of Chixue. Popular singers and talented musicians are so pleasing to the eyes...]
"Director, then we have to..." Jiang Bei was stunned for a moment and frowned: "Carry it up by ourselves?"
The director's voice-over, trying to suppress his laughter, said: "That's right."
Wan Ning couldn't help but laugh, turning the small, light suitcase in his hand. "Xiao Jiang, didn't I tell you in the group chat before we left? It's not that cold in the mountains. Why don't you take some out now and put it in the car?"
Jiang Bei hesitated for a moment: "Forget it, thank you Sister Wan, I'll take it."
Wan Ning shook his head and laughed, "Young people nowadays have been living in a greenhouse for too long."
Xiao Xu, dressed for hiking, turned to look at Chen Songling and said, "Xiao Chen, do you want to free up some boxes?"
Chen Songling continued to portray his cool personality: "No, Brother Xiao, I'm naturally afraid of the cold."
The barrage still flashed by a bunch of [loading].
The routes were divided, and there were three more sub-live broadcast rooms. On the main screen, the director team set up the camera at the end point and used a drone to take a panoramic shot from above.
[So beautiful! Is this Qingcheng Temple?]
[It is a B&B. I was lucky enough to book one before. It was very, very beautiful.]
[The production team spent a lot of money this time. This B&B called "This Room" is very difficult to book.]
The images in the three live broadcast rooms were initially dappled with sunlight, but gradually they were enveloped by lush ancient trees, leaving only a sea of green.
Liu Yichi and Zhong Xue found a clue in the gossip puzzle on the table in the pavilion. They continued on their journey. After a while, Zhong Xue suddenly rubbed her arms and asked, "Yichi, don't you feel a little cold?"
Liu Yichi had a headset hanging around his neck, his hair was slightly curly, and he was dressed in a literary Japanese style.
He was a well-known caring and warm man in variety shows. He raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard this: "Xiaoxue, are you cold? I have a coat that I can lend you."
Zhong Xue stuck out her tongue: "No need, it's not that serious yet."
But I started to wonder in my heart: I should have brought some more thick clothes.
But...it's midsummer?
Wan Ning had just found the red rope guiding the way behind a tree. She turned back to wave to Xiao Xu when her footsteps made a soft, crunching sound. She looked down and saw a green-tiled clay niche amidst the swirling grass. A few half-burned incense sticks lay crookedly within, a small mud kitten lying inside. Even in broad daylight, she wasn't afraid, and curiously crouched down to let the camera take a picture.
"What kind of cat temple is this?" Wan Ning took out a candy from his pocket and put it over. "So cute! I hope it will bless my Luna to be healthy."
Luna is a Persian cat raised by Wanning.
[My sister and the cat are both so cute~]
[Eh? Why does this not look like a cat to me?]
[Well...it's best not to visit random street shrines.]
[The feudal ancients above, please don't be too ky. ]
Xiao Xu smiled and said, "I heard that in ancient times, a cat protected Zhao Gongming while he was cultivating Taoism and becoming an immortal. The people were grateful and wanted to receive blessings from it, so they built a temple for it. It's also possible that it was the black tiger that the God of Wealth rides on, and the ancient craftsmen couldn't tell the difference between tigers and cats, which is why it looks like what you see."
[Lao Xiao must have done his homework in advance, haha~]
[I love listening to Brother Xiao’s popular science, the style of this live broadcast room is really peaceful and quiet. ]
[That is, after all, it is the love between parents! ]
Wan Ning smiled and agreed with a few words. When he stood up, he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing towards him.
The further you go into the mountains, the lower the temperature is than outside, but somehow, the chill in the wind seems to pierce into your bones.
She subconsciously pulled her sleeve.
Xiao Xu noticed her movements and asked, "Vanni, do you want to add some clothes?"
He himself felt a little chilly even in his long-sleeved sun-protective shirt, and Wan Ning was wearing a short shirt, so he probably felt even colder.
Wan Ning shook his head and said with a smile: "I've been to the Snow Mountain before, I'm not so weak!"
Xiao Xu didn't understand her point at all. He naturally took out a coat from his backpack and put it on. He smiled brightly and said, "Is that so? It seems that I am too old to handle it. I will put on another coat first."
Wan Ning: “…”
[Hahaha, Brother Xiao, why did you add this first? Is it really that cold in Qingcheng Mountain now?]
[I'm in Qianshan Town. I feel okay.]
[Maybe the temperature in the mountains is different, the route they took is off-limits to tourists.]
After walking a little further, even the crew members filming the scene began to feel the biting cold.
"What's with the temperature?" Zhong Xue crossed her arms, feeling surprised. "It's not like the cold after rain or snow, but there's a chill deep down inside."
She couldn't hold it any longer, so she took out the thickest piece of knitwear from the box and put it on.
Liu Yichi next to him also quietly put on a coat and gave a few to the staff. Everyone put on more clothes while nervously checking the weather forecast.
"Damn, the forecast is 16 degrees? This feels less than half that..."
While the two groups were shivering and struggling to move forward, a certain live broadcast room had a completely different and unique style.
Chen Songling and Jiang Bei both put on down jackets, and even wore woolen hats and gloves. Even the staff next to them were given a windbreaker each. The weight in the big box was swept away, and their steps became much lighter.
"Are you still cold?" Chen Songling handed over a Gi scarf.
"Thanks," Jiang Bei said without hesitation, taking it and putting it on: "Phew, it feels so good."
The two of them were wearing co-branded winter clothes, paired with sunglasses and gloves, looking like they were here for a fashion show in the mountains, and they accidentally attracted a lot of fans.
[One person said one thing, CSL is quite good in the cool guy field.]
[I thought he was a clown, but he turned out to be the winner... Awesome.]
[What's so cool about this? It's just like moving your own wardrobe here.]
[Isn't anyone here trying this? I'll just take a sip.]
What's so good about a stinky-faced beagle and an evil cow cat?
Having said that, the number of people in the two people's live broadcast rooms has indeed increased.
Xiao Xu noticed that Wan Ning's face looked a little strange due to the coldness: "Vanni, do you really not want to put on more clothes?"
Wan Ning forced a smile and said, "It's okay. Let's talk about it after we reach the end."
The knitted shawl she was wearing was already the thickest piece of clothing in the suitcase...
Damn, how on earth did the assistant read the weather forecast? Does it look like it's in the teens?!
In a blink of an eye, she looked up and saw the outline of a familiar shrine appear in front of her, and at the same time, a cluster of black shadows flashed past quickly.
Wan Ning's face turned pale, and his voice was shaking: "Look...is there a person over there?"
