Chapter 305: Inhuman (113) (1st + 2nd) [VIP]
Hong Conghua: …
"Uh..." She paused for a few seconds, "We are live streaming."
coach:?
"Ah...ah...ah?" He froze visibly.
"Congratulations, young man," Hong Conghua patted his shoulder with a half-smile and a tone of pity, "If the boss of the neighboring agency wants to deal with this matter quietly, you have helped him to announce it to the national audience."
The coach looked like he wanted to cry. He looked around and fixed his eyes on Er Si and Herbisk, who were the most reliable, and asked eagerly, "Is this a show effect?"
Bai Jin said: "This is a program accident."
The coach looked even more desperate.
"I was just talking nonsense," he struggled desperately.
"It's useless for you to say you're a fish now," the yellow-haired guy twitched his lips, looked at the comments that suddenly appeared, and then looked at Director Qiao and the staff around him with gloomy expressions, and squeezed into the camera and said, "Lead the way, buddy, everyone has just finished eating, digest the food, and see what's going on."
"I'm really talking nonsense..." The coach was about to cry, "No, you guys can just broadcast it live, what's the point of watching us looking for someone?"
If the person was really dead, could a group of diving instructors appear in front of the camera to retrieve the body?
This has to shut down the live broadcast room.
Director Qiao's face wasn't very good, but he also knew that now that the words had been spoken, if he shut down the live broadcast room directly, the matter would probably ferment outside the room. Not only would he have to spend money to suppress it, but he also didn't know how it would be spread, and their program group and the murder case would be tied together in public opinion.
Although there are already signs that they are tied together.
[Oh my, another person died.]
[Is it that scumbag from the daytime? Good hell. ]
【Good death, good death, meow. 】
[I was really taken away by a water ghost. I always say that those who are mean will be taken away by God. ]
[By the way, is our show in conflict with the five elements of this place? This is the second time someone has died during the recording of the show, right? ]
[The third time? The first time was the murder case, the second time was the fight between mother and son, and the death of this scumbag was the third time. ]
[Oh, the first two times happened on the same night, so I count them as one.]
[Didn’t the production team pray before the show started? Is it too late to make up for it now? ]
[What are you trying to fill? Don’t fill it. The first live broadcast of Cross-border Co-op has filled the gap in crime and criminal investigation variety shows. This must continue. ]
[Director Qiao probably has much more white hair in this season than in previous seasons.]
[Director Qiao would probably rather watch the guests send each other 1,000-word essays and tear each other apart.]
Director Qiao would really rather go back to the past now.
Rather than seeing multiple murders happen during the recording of the program, he would rather see multiple verbal fights break out during the recording of the program.
Unfortunately, this is destined to be a luxury now.
The coach, who was about to cry but had no tears, led a group of people towards the diving base. The six guests of the program group were having a great time, some were chatting, some were concerned about the situation. Who could care about him?
"Director Qiao?" Ersi's voice came back, "Can we still broadcast this?"
If a person is really dead, live broadcast of corpse recovery is an art form that is too advanced in both the live broadcast and variety show industries. For a long time, I am afraid that no other variety show of the same type can surpass the achievements of "Cross-border Co-living" in the underworld.
"Of course not. Who will we turn to for justice if the platform blocks our live broadcast room?" Director Qiao said through gritted teeth. "I asked Xiaofeng to find the owner of the diving agency first. Regardless of whether they can fish him out, someone will come out of the sea and say it was a misunderstanding. There were no lights at night and visibility was low, so the coaches didn't see him."
"Anyway, everyone looks the same when they put on a swimming cap, diving goggles, and diving suit," Director Qiao squinted his eyes irritably. "When we finish shooting this segment at the beach, we'll quickly come back to continue recording the barbecue. Let's quickly change the subject. This place is really fucking unsuitable. Let's get up early tomorrow morning and worship. I'll have someone calculate the time. The whole crew will come tomorrow and we'll worship before we shoot."
Do you really want to worship?
Bai Jinshu's mouth twitched. He didn't expect Director Qiao to be so proactive.
It seems that there have been too many bad lucks in the past few days, and the entire crew has been worried. When they heard that they would have to worship tomorrow, everyone probably breathed a sigh of relief.
I won’t say whether it is useful or not, but it is true that it provides psychological comfort.
"Then I'll go tell everyone?" Bai Jinshu looked at the four people in front of him, "Tell them that Director Qiao, you have arranged for someone to pretend that the missing person has been rescued."
"No need," Director Qiao shook his head decisively, "They are not in your circle. They won't be able to act well in front of the camera if they know this in advance. It's better to let them think that the person has really been rescued. We can talk about it after we finish shooting tonight."
Compared to those four people, Bai Jinshu who is next to him is a professional actor, and Herbiskus has an icy face that normally shows no emotion, so these two people will not mess it up even if they know about it.
As for the four in front... Nian Yu is not sure. The yellow-haired one is definitely not trustworthy because he is making a lot of noise. Xiaoying looks like an honest child who would never lie. Hong Conghua doesn't look like someone who would be exposed, but she has been in front of the camera and it is not convenient for her to leave.
Thinking of this, Director Qiao sighed deeply: "After you finish filming this season, I'm going to find a resort to rest for ten days or half a month. It really shortens my life."
"We're still going to the resort," Huang Mao didn't hear the previous words, only this one, and continued with a rude tone, "Director Qiao, aren't you PTSD?"
Director Qiao made a joke and felt like he was going to die young from anger during the recording of this program.
"Go, go, go," he waved at the yellow-haired man, "Go live broadcast."
"No," Huang Mao said with a playful smile, "Director Qiao, please tell me what you were whispering about in the back just now."
"That means we have to get up early tomorrow," Herbisk glanced at him, "Director Qiao has checked the time, and we will worship tomorrow morning before we start filming."
"Oh..." Huang Mao scratched his head uninterested, "What time do we get up tomorrow?"
"Master, the time is Mao time," Director Qiao said quietly, "We should get up at least at 4:30."
"Ah?" Huang Mao's eyes widened. "Is it true?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Director Qiao said speechlessly, "You can go back to sleep after worshiping tomorrow. Anyway, I don't plan to do any outdoor activities tomorrow. Everyone, go and do intangible cultural heritage to promote traditional culture. The props for tomorrow's recording have all been moved to the villa."
Huang Mao sighed, "Director Qiao, just because you don't cause trouble doesn't mean trouble won't happen to you. What if something unexpected happens again and there's another murder in the resort? What will we do?"
Director Qiao said numbly: "Haha, is it possible that there are fewer murders now?"
He pointed forward with his chin and said, "You guys have been asking for a long time, what is this third case about?"
"Oh, about this," Huangmao scratched his face, "It's said that the guy who drowned during the day made a scene again after we left. He said that the package he bought was for three hours, but he actually only experienced one hour, so he asked the diving base to make up for it."
"Then what? Just two hours of make-up time?" Director Qiao asked curiously.
"That's definitely not possible. How can we do business like this?" Huang Mao curled his lips. "The base said that they couldn't make up for it after get off work, but the guy definitely didn't agree. He said that we should move it to tomorrow, and then the two sides started arguing."
Huangmao explained in detail. It seems that he did ask a lot of questions just now.
"It seems that the diving agency still can't argue with him." Bai Jinshu said.
"Of course, everyone has to call 12315, and the dive agency boss is afraid of trouble. The key is that the guy's three-hour package is a group purchase coupon, which has been redeemed. The details page says that it can only be used within one day and cannot be split. It really can't be split the next day," Huangmao spread his hands, "So the result of the dispute is that both sides give in, and the dive agency boss gives him extra time, but only 50%, which is one hour."
"So the boat we saw when we came out was his?" Bai Jinshu suddenly remembered the boat they saw when they came out of the locker room.
"What kind of ship is this?" Huangmao had never seen one before and didn't know what it was. He looked confused.
"When we came out, we saw a ship heading toward the sea," Herbiskus said, "It was probably his ship."
"Oh, I see," Huang Mao thought for a moment and concluded, "Anyway, it's a story of self-inflicted disaster. If this guy hadn't been obsessed with it for the past two hours, he wouldn't be missing now."
“Not to mention that… well,” he winked at everyone, “so the comments are all cursing and watching the fun.”
"Alright, alright," Director Qiao dismissed, "We're almost there now, if you think it's almost time, just stop broadcasting it."
"How can we not broadcast this..." Huang Mao muttered a few words, "The comments are going crazy, everyone is shouting for death, if we stop the live broadcast at this time, these people will make a fuss."
However, despite saying that, Huangmao still returned to the camera and tried hard to change the topic, but the effect was minimal.
A group of people walked into the base in a noisy manner. As expected, the sea area where they went diving during the day was now dotted with lights, and all of them were small boats with lights on, looking for people.
The visibility in the water is definitely lower than that in the air, not to mention that it is now night and there is even less light outside compared to the dusk when the man disappeared.
The coaches on the sea all held flashlights in their hands, and the light from the flashlights cast beams of light of varying shades in the dark night.
As soon as the coach leading the way saw the base, he hurried towards the locker room and quickly escaped from the camera.
Bai Jinshu knew that someone would show up later, but others didn’t know.
Many staff members looked in Director Qiao's direction from time to time, as if they knew that this thing could not be broadcast, but they couldn't stop it immediately, and wanted Director Qiao to make a decision quickly.
Director Qiao waved his hand and signaled them to do their own things.
Fortunately, no matter how outrageous the program crew's approach is, it is impossible for them to get a boat and take everyone directly to the scene of body recovery.
Everyone stood on the beach, looking at the small boats and beams of light swaying in the distance, and that was all they could do.
But the barrage is quite novel.
[Who in the family understands? I’ve watched a lot of variety shows, but this is my first time watching a corpse recovery show.]
[There are many variety shows, and there are also a few live broadcast variety shows, but this is the first time that a live broadcast of corpse recovery is broadcast. ]
[I forgot the first part and the second part, "Cross-border Co-living", you are really crossing borders now...]
[From the world of the living to the underworld, right? ]
[Oh no, this variety show has finally found a new track. ]
[There should be fewer new tracks like this. There have been three murders so far. If there are a few more, I’m afraid our show will be suspended.]
Faced with a scene like recovering a corpse, even the guests with the best sense of variety shows could not come up with any clever ideas. Everyone said a few words with serious expressions, saying that they hoped to find the person as soon as possible. As the last search coach boat entered the diving area, only the people from the program crew were left on the shore for a while.
At this moment, there was a sudden boiling sound on the sea.
Many flashlights were waving in the air and some people were cheering.
"Have we found it?" Huangmao looked at it excitedly.
The boat gradually moved towards the shore and seemed to have really found it.
Two wet coaches jumped off the boat that arrived at the shore first. They were so scared when they saw the program crew on the shore that they staggered and almost lost their balance during the recording.
I didn't see from the comments that these two people were scared, I thought they were tired:
[My god, the diving instructor was so tired that my legs were weak when I got off the boat. ]
[Good people don't live long, but evil deeds can last for thousands of years. This scumbag is still alive, and so many people went into the water in the middle of the night to save him.]
[Although I know that these diving instructors are experienced, I am still worried when I see them diving in the middle of the night...]
[Indeed...it's been hard work.]
【Thank you for your hard work. 】
【Thanks for your hard work. 】
The barrage of comments was probably led by the internet trolls sent in by the program production team, who suddenly shifted the criticism against the missing person to lamenting the hard work and hardships of the diving instructor.
The diving coaches who came ashore one after another didn't know that there were a bunch of people working hard in the live broadcast room not far away.
Except for a few coaches at the back who knew they were coming, most people were shocked to see the live broadcast on the shore. Fortunately, the comedy of weak legs did not happen again. Most people chose to quietly avoid the camera and did not walk towards the crew.
The coaches got off the boats one by one, and finally a man with trembling legs walked down from one of the boats.
"Is this the missing tourist?" Xiaoying was kind-hearted. "I'm glad he's okay."
Nian Yu nodded.
It was like a farce finally came to an end, and everyone in the barrage began to post their feelings, which can be divided into several categories:
The first type of people were sighing that this grandson was so lucky that he could not die. The second type of people were thanking the diving instructors and saying that everyone had worked hard. The third type of people were celebrating that the production team did not lose anyone this time. The fourth type of people were discussing betting on when the production team would encounter the fourth murder case.
These four types of comments occupied the entire screen, and the atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious.
The staff and guests all breathed a sigh of relief. It was getting late, so Director Qiao took the opportunity to say a bunch of closing remarks and simply ended today's live broadcast here.
As the show came to an end, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Several staff members who had been holding the lighting fixtures quickly put the lights to the ground the moment the live broadcast stopped, and then sat down on the ground.
Following the lead of these few people, everyone looked at each other and sat down on the ground tacitly.
None of the guests or staff members complained about the dirty floor. Everyone looked like they had escaped a calamity, with an expression of relief on their faces.
"Director Qiao, can you tell me now?" Bai Jinshu turned around and reminded, "It's about tomorrow morning."
"Oh, oh, yeah," Director Qiao slapped his forehead, "You reminded me."
He is worthy of being an actor in the circle, Director Qiao said silently in his heart.
I've never heard of Ersi's EQ before, but after meeting him, I found that he is really high.
Originally, the crew started the live broadcast at 10 o'clock every morning. In addition to the time for preparing the venue and the guests' makeup, everyone woke up at around 9 o'clock, and the more troublesome ones woke up at around 8:30. But tomorrow, the incense burning time is at 5 o'clock, and everyone has to get up at 4:30. Even if the staff felt that this filming was a bit weird, they would be worried when they heard that they had to get up so early. Some of them would probably complain about the crew's troubles after the filming was completed.
At this moment, everyone is glad that the missing person is fine. Everyone feels that they have escaped a disaster and that there was no real "body recovery" broadcast live. No one would object to the announcement that they would have to get up early tomorrow morning to burn incense at the opening ceremony.
After all, a third murder almost happened during the live broadcast just now, and everyone would be scared.
Thinking of this, Director Qiao clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention: "Everyone, I have an announcement to make. We will hold our opening ceremony at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning. Everyone try to get up early and go to bed after the ceremony. The live broadcast time will be postponed by one hour."
As expected, although there were some complaints in the crowd, most people understood, and many even seemed quite supportive.
After all, people in this industry are more or less superstitious, so when the director announced that everyone had to make up for the opening ceremony after surviving a disaster, most people were really relieved.
Seeing that the response was good after the announcement of completion, Director Qiao nodded and shouted to everyone to finish work quickly.
After all, the missing guy hasn’t been found yet, and once they leave, the diving instructors will probably have to continue looking for him.
Thinking of this, Director Qiao hurriedly urged everyone to hurry up, and under his urging, everyone quickened their pace and walked towards the hotel.
The time at the hotel was just when the tourists were returning one after another. There were still tourists on the road, so it was not convenient to tell the truth. Director Qiao thought about it and decided to tell the remaining four guests after returning to the floor where their program group was.
As the elevator arrived, Bai Jinshu and Herbisk walked towards their rooms. After the door was opened using the room card sensor, he inserted the card into the power slot at the door and turned on the light.
"Wait a minute," Herbisk suddenly grabbed his arm, "something seems wrong."
"That's not right," Bai Jinshu frowned, "Someone has been in here."
Things have been moved.
"Cleaning staff? Check if anything is missing." He walked around and looked at the sign hanging on the door. Herbisk followed his instructions and walked into the room to check if anything was missing.
[Please Do Not Clean] was hung neatly at the door.
His habit is generally not to allow cleaning staff to enter the room to clean when no one is there. There have been many cases in the circle where celebrities' personal belongings were taken away by cleaning staff and sold for money while staying in hotels, or extreme fans bribed hotel managers to buy personal belongings, so people generally hang up a "Do Not Clean" sign to prevent cleaning staff from entering the room.
After he hung this thing, the cleaning staff shouldn't have come in.
And it doesn't look like the cleaning staff has been in there.
There was garbage in the trash can, the quilt on the bed was not folded but just put aside, and there were disposable toiletries and bath towels that had not been changed. Those that should have been changed were not changed, and those that should have been tidied were not tidied. It definitely didn't look like the cleaning staff had been there.
That's weird.
Who has been in their room?
Bai Jinshu looked at Herbisk who turned his head, and Herbisk shook his head slightly.
Didn't lose anything?
That's even stranger.
So what is this person doing here?
Bai Jinshu recalled the extreme private news he had read before about people hiding in hotel bathrooms or closets, and carefully opened every place in the room where things could be hidden.
Neither do I.
The two looked at each other in the room, and Bai Jinshu made a prompt decision: "Go find Director Qiao."
During the filming of the program, someone entered the room. This matter could be a big deal or a small one, but no matter what, it had to be reported to Director Qiao, so that no matter if someone from the crew came to take something and it was a misunderstanding, or if someone really came in and did something unknown here, the crew would have a legitimate reason to check the surveillance to see who it was.
The two of them walked towards Director Qiao's room and saw Huangmao and the others inside.
Director Qiao seemed to be telling them that the missing tourist who had just been discovered was not actually a tourist, but someone he arranged.
Assistant Director Xiao Feng happened to go in at this time to ask Director Qiao about tomorrow's arrangements. Bai Jinshu and the other two went in with him. Director Qiao looked up and said, "Hey, Xiao Feng, you've exaggerated this time."
He waved his hand and said, "Aren't you asking all the diving coaches to come back and wait until the production crew leaves before going back? Isn't it a hassle to ask them to come back alone and show up in front of the camera to fool people?"
"Ah...ah?" Unexpectedly, Xiao Feng was stunned for a moment, "Director Qiao, I didn't find anyone."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expression became strange.
"You didn't find anyone?" Bai Jinshu was the first to speak. "Didn't Director Qiao tell you to find someone wearing a diving suit and diving goggles to pretend to be the missing tourist, and then just fool everyone over there?"
"I didn't find him," Xiao Feng looked puzzled, but continued, "Several agencies here have the same boss. The boss of the agency where the missing person was located wasn't here, and I couldn't find anyone to discuss it with. The missing person appeared during the day today, and his height, weight, and figure were all on camera. There's a big difference in height between him and me, so I couldn't go on camera by myself. The boss didn't contact me and didn't add him, so I planned to come back and pick someone similar from the staff. As soon as I got there, I heard that they had found him. I thought it was the person you, Director Qiao, were looking for."
"I didn't look for it," Director Qiao denied it, and then touched his chin, "Hey? Doesn't this mean that I really found it?"
Since Xiao Feng didn't find the person, and he didn't look for anyone else, and the boss of the agency was not there, and there was no third person who could make the decision to find someone to pretend to be the missing person in front of the camera, it means that the person was really found.
Thinking of this, Director Qiao's expression instantly brightened: "If that's the case, then everyone is happy. Everyone is happy."
He looked at Bai Jinshu with a smile: "Ersi, what are you doing here?"
Bai Jinshu rubbed his forehead and said, "Someone has entered our room."
"Nothing was stolen, it wasn't the cleaning staff, and there was no one hiding in the room. I don't know if there are any cameras. I didn't let anyone take anything from my room during the day," he said in one breath what Director Qiao wanted to ask, "Should we adjust the surveillance now or what should we do?"
"Xiao Feng, go ask the logistics department if anyone has gone to pick up anything today," Director Qiao paused for a moment, "If not, let's check the surveillance."
"You guys go check it out too," he thought for a moment and looked at the other four people, "see if your room is suitable."
Several guests nodded and went to their rooms.
If only Bai Jinshu's room had someone enter, it could be because of Bai Jinshu or Herbisks. The former could be his extreme fan, while the latter could be Herbisks's business partner. But if everyone's room was like this, then there could be a big problem.
Bai Jinshu let out a long breath and heard Director Qiao sigh: "I will definitely be ten years older after the show."
"No way," Bai Jinshu said, trying to smooth things over. "Director Qiao is still young."
Director Qiao waved his hands, obviously tired.
A few minutes later, there was a sound of hurried footsteps.
Huangmao heard the voice before he saw the person: "Oh my god, it's true! Someone came into my room!"
"It's the same in our room." Nian Yu pushed open the door, and Xiao Ying followed closely behind.
Hong Conghua shook his head: "I don't remember clearly what the room looked like before I left, but since you all have been there, I guess it's pretty similar."
Whatever you think will come true.
Everyone's room had been entered.
