"All the funds available for your activities in the coming weeks are here. Whether you buy groceries yourself or eat out, the amount is here. However, this money belongs to Teacher Yan and Teacher Jiang, who just won first place. No other food-related funds will be provided directly until the end of the show's recording. Please allocate them reasonably."
After the staff explained how the funds would be used, the group began to whisper among themselves.
Hearing this rule, Jiang Ning was secretly displeased.
I should have known better than to be the first to stick my neck out.
It seems like they have the money in their hands, but if they don't distribute it well, they could easily incur the jealousy of the other groups. Even if everyone agrees on how they use it, none of the eight of them seem to know how to cook, so the important task of cooking will still fall to her and Yan Keyi.
But this was a rule set by the production team, so they couldn't say much.
If we say too much, it won't look good for anyone.
"Director, how much is the total amount? Can we ask?"
Since they can no longer control this money, Yin Rong should know the total amount; it shouldn't be excessive, right?
"A total of three thousand."
"How many?"
Upon hearing this number, Yin Rong felt a wave of dizziness.
There are eight people here in total. Even if each person earns fifty yuan a day, that's four hundred yuan a day for eight people. In ten days, that's four thousand yuan. Not to mention the program recording, which lasts for more than ten days. Is three thousand yuan really enough?
Yin Rong has always lived a very comfortable life, so it's really hard to imagine how eight people could survive on just three thousand.
Seeing that the group was very shocked, the production team gave them plenty of time to discuss the matter.
"Three thousand over half a month, it's not a bad idea to make some plans, right? At worst, we'll just go hungry?"
The people here hold significant positions in the entertainment industry. Everyone has experienced times when they're too busy with work to eat properly. If things get really bad, they just eat less, as long as they don't starve.
"One or two meals might be okay, but half a month is a long time. It's not something you can solve by just starving yourself. Besides, Ah Jin has a stomach problem. What if she gets sick from starving herself?"
Yin Rong disagreed with Ai Xuan's statement. He felt the production team was simply underpaying them; it was truly a tough situation.
"Not necessarily. I just checked the refrigerator, and it's quite well stocked. We can use up what's in the fridge first before going out to buy more. If you trust me, I'll take care of everyone's meals."
Yan Keyi felt that the production team wouldn't be so heartless as to empty the refrigerator of all the food.
So before that, the food in the refrigerator was enough for them to eat for several days.
With some proper planning, the remaining money should be enough.
"However, the show isn't filmed entirely at the Heartbeat House. If we film outside, we inevitably have to eat out. For the eight of us, a single meal outside can easily cost several hundred yuan. If we do this a few times, it really won't be enough."
Although their cooking skills were all mediocre, they would indeed have to rely on Yan Keyi to solve their meal problems from now on. But Miao Fangcai had also pointed this out.
What Miao Fang said made sense, and after hearing his words, the group fell silent.
"The production team just said that they wouldn't directly provide the amount for other food-related expenses, but they didn't say that they just didn't provide it at all."
When everyone was pessimistic, Cheng Jin, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up.
The 3,000 yuan provided by the production team is for their direct use. But if there are additional needs, shouldn't they try to secure it through a task-based approach?
In the past, when there was no "meal allowance" segment in "Heart Signal," the way everyone ate was affected by various tasks, right?
[Jin Ge's mind works so fast, he must have done his research beforehand. "Heart Message" is really good at creating a sense of excitement for its guests through various interactive tasks.]
Seeing that someone had finally brought up the issue, the production team reappeared.
"That's right, Teacher Cheng has hit the nail on the head. We still have all sorts of tasks waiting for you teachers! By the way, before that, please put on this bracelet."
As they spoke, a staff member took out eight bracelets.
While everyone was still wondering, the staff began to explain.
"These are wristbands specially customized for the show. They will make a sound when each teacher's heart rate exceeds 110. Whether you are a long-married couple or a couple in love, your heart rate is the most telling indicator of your emotions. I hope to see your most genuine feelings in the future."
The production team certainly had other intentions, but those will be revealed to the audience in later editing. The guests currently recording the show, of course, will have no idea.
This is a segment that has never been shown before. It's probably because they received sponsorship from the C-brand smart bracelet this year, so they specially organized this.
But since it's just a gimmick created by the production team in cooperation with the sponsors, they might as well wear it for now.
After the midday break, the production team informed each group that they could go back and rest, or get to know each other in the living room.
In the evening, there will be another icebreaker dance party.
In the living room, the live streaming room is always open, while guests can freely choose whether to start a live stream in their individual rooms.
But where there are many people, there are cameras, and where there are cameras, there is attention. So some people still stayed in the living room.
Seeing Yan Keyi chatting with Qu Shuyu in the living room, Jiang Ning didn't leave.
