Chapter 209 Gangcheng Museum
Tuesday
It was pouring rain in Gangcheng, but the violent storm did not affect the early morning training of Ren Limeng's team at all. The four of them were intensively learning "Laughing in the Spring Breeze" in the training room. In their spare time outside of training, the four of them discussed today's site check-in recording. The tourist site they were going to check in later was the Gangcheng Museum.
"Li Meng, your idea is great. If you want to film a vlog while recording, we can discuss it. Releasing some content before the show airs can also be a good promotion. However, the production team may not be able to film the vlog with you. Time is too short right now. If we change our filming as you suggest, all the departments on site will have to coordinate again, which is very risky."
After the four members of the team discussed today's recording schedule, Ren Limeng, on behalf of everyone, expressed the innovative ideas that the team had agreed on to Dong Zhu, the accompanying director and person in charge of their team. Dong Zhu subconsciously frowned and refused.
"Thank you, Director Dong. We will definitely do all the extra work for the vlog ourselves. We just hope the production team can lend a hand. If they are willing to cooperate, they can assign one or two cameramen to help Jing Ting shoot. If there are not enough cameramen on site, we have also discussed it and can let our shadow shooters do it."
Ren Limeng had expected Dong Zhu's refusal. Her eyes were gentle and humble, but her soft voice carried the hidden strength of a team leader.
The relationship between the team guests and the program staff is very delicate. As far as Ren Limeng knows, there were teams that had additional innovations during the recording breaks in the first two public performances, and some even started live broadcasts. What they call innovation now is just the same. The difference is that their ideas are more in-depth, and they use their professional abilities to combine these shots with Gangcheng culture to reflect their richer guest personalities.
"If the production team can't cooperate, then we will continue filming as planned today. As for our own actions on the scene, that is our guests' business. I remember saying at the beginning of the show that the production team will respect the guests' journey and will not interfere with the guests' choices."
"Li Meng, are you...is your team determined? Does everyone agree?"
Listening to Ren Limeng's neither humble nor arrogant words, Dong Zhu's gaze fell on the back of Ren Limeng, where An Ling and the other two were still filming in front of the camera in the training room. The three of them looked here secretly, silent.
"Of course, this is a decision our team discussed together last night."
Ren Limeng answered without hesitation, her tone softened again, and she looked at Dong Zhu with sincere eyes.
"Director Dong, you've watched me through this show. I was lucky enough to become the captain this time, but we're not famous enough, and our team's buzz is much lower than the other teams. If we don't save ourselves now, I can't imagine how our performances will go. If we don't want anyone to leave, all we can do is work harder than the other teams and use some changes to keep the audience interested. I'm really sorry to have troubled you and the rest of the production team. Thank you!"
Dong Zhu looked deeply at Ren Limeng, then at the silent An Ling and other team members behind Ren Limeng. Finally, he no longer meant to represent the program team to stop the guests. As Ren Limeng said, the guests of "Shan Hai" already have a certain degree of autonomy, not to mention...
"We can only do our best to cooperate. Let me be frank: with this sudden change, if there are any problems, you will be solely responsible."
"Of course, thank you. I'll take it all on myself."
Ren Limeng answered without hesitation, which is also her basic responsibility as captain.
The Gangcheng Museum has three floors and nine exhibition halls. Ren Limeng, An Ling and Li Qingzi are responsible for explaining and introducing three exhibition halls respectively. Fei Jingting has already communicated with the three of them in advance about the general direction of the exhibition hall explanation and filming. At today's site check-in, everyone is both a tourist and a tour guide.
The first three exhibition halls entered were Ren Limeng's home turf. Ren Limeng got up early this morning and discussed with Fei Jingting for a long time how to give an immersive tour guide explanation. She borrowed the original introduction script of the museum tour guide and, relying on the time spent in the car during the trip, Ren Limeng quickly memorized all the lines.
She regarded the tour guide recording at this moment as hosting a live broadcast, implemented the principle of doing it in one go, and completed it smoothly.
The same was true for An Ling, who was in charge of the three exhibition halls on the second floor. Ren Limeng always felt that An Ling was a little careless during the recording, but facing the cameras surrounding Fei Jingting and the program crew, An Ling smiled slightly and spoke the introduction steadily throughout the whole show, showing the same high level of performance as Ren Limeng.
There was a smile of appreciation in Ren Limeng's eyes, and a hint of almost imperceptible contemplation flashed across her eyes.
"Sister Ling, thank you for your hard work. Your performance was so smooth and natural. I may not be the best host on our station, but after watching your performance, I really benefited a lot."
When going up to the third floor, Ren Limeng smiled and praised An Ling. In addition to polite flattery, Ren Limeng's feelings at this moment were sincere. After reading An Ling's exhibition hall introduction, Ren Limeng unconsciously compared her performance just now and immediately found the problem.
Her explanation was not natural and relaxed enough.
The hosting style of the agricultural channel is dignified and formal, and the hosting tone is very formal. Even though she knew that today was the recording of the entertainment channel variety show, Ren Limeng deliberately smoothed her tone and intonation when she spoke, trying to make her explanation lively and interesting. However, compared with An Ling, who has been hosting large-scale entertainment activities and various variety shows on the platform for many years, her hosting style is still a little immature.
Ren Limeng couldn't help but feel secretly happy in her heart. Being in the same team with An Ling and taking advantage of the opportunity of the current innovative performance, she would definitely be able to more deeply understand the changes in the style of the entertainment channel hosts, seriously summarize and reflect, and adapt more quickly to the more new challenges brought by switching to the new channel.
"Thank you for the compliment, Li Meng. When you come to the entertainment department, we will have more opportunities to communicate."
An Ling also had a smile in her eyes. On the escalator, An Ling slowly held Ren Limeng's hands. In front of the camera, she remained silent but gave a hidden reminder. Listening to An Ling's meaningful words, Ren Limeng's eyes moved slightly.
Until now, Ren Limeng still hasn't replied to An Ling. She hasn't entered the entertainment channel yet. Since she already knows the undercurrents between Yao Xin and Zhong Yanjun, and she is not familiar with both sides, if she chooses to take sides completely, it will be counterproductive no matter how she thinks about it.
In one word, drag.
At least she had to wait until Shen Xingzhi's choice was finalized. Otherwise, no matter what she chose, it would be difficult for her not to become a pawn in the cooperative game between the Orange Platform and Shen Xingzhi. Ren Limeng weighed the pros and cons again and again, but still couldn't think of a better choice. Now she could only adapt to the situation.
Ren Limeng lowered her head slightly, her eyes just falling on the pear blossom watch on her left arm. The dial showed a flickering yellow-green hue with the slight swing of her arm and the changes in light and shadow. The ever-changing colors were just like her murky mood at the moment.
The content of the three public performance quizzes of "Shan Hai" was suddenly released at four o'clock in the afternoon. After Ren Limeng's team of four checked in at the No. 1 antique street in Wangjiang District in the afternoon, not long after returning to the training room, Dong Zhu suddenly took out a rule card with the program logo printed on it, slowly walked towards the team leader Ren Limeng, and handed it to her with a smile.
"Rules for the Three Officials Exam..."
Fei Jingting sat on the left of Ren Limeng. Her eyes fell on the content on the cue card and she subconsciously read out the title with surprise. After she came to her senses, Fei Jingting immediately realized that her words were a bit "overshadowing" and she gradually lowered her voice. Ren Limeng suddenly reached forward and handed the cue card to Fei Jingting, and gave her an encouraging look to signal her to continue reading.
The two looked at each other for a moment. In Ren Limeng's smiling eyes, Fei Jingting paused slightly and raised her voice again.
"The San Gong quiz will be held tomorrow (Wednesday) at 4:00 PM. This quiz will be a song assessment. Each team should incorporate the cultural elements of the destinations determined for the third performance and sing the program's theme song, "Mountain, Sea, and Star Journey." This quiz will still be a live team competition. Teams will perform in order from lowest to highest based on the quiz expectation vote initiated on Weibo. Aside from the chorus lyrics of "Mountain, Sea, and Star Journey" and the cultural elements of the San Gong travel destinations, which are mandatory requirements for the quiz, the rest of the content can be modified using your imagination and talent..."
Song assessment?
As Fei Jingting introduced herself, everyone in the training room couldn't help but secretly meet each other's eyes in the air, and everyone's eyes showed a hint of worry. Ren Limeng's team was the only team without professional singer guests, and they were at a disadvantage when it came to the song test.
"The results of the quiz will be based on multiple factors, including live broadcast popularity and teacher ratings. The two teams ranked last will compete in a solo showdown in the third performance. The losing team will be eliminated immediately."
The rules for the quiz results in the third public performance are the same as those in the first public performance, with the last-place team performing and then being eliminated in a solo showdown, but many things have already changed silently.
Without the top singer Chen Xingzhi in the third public performance, Ren Limeng had to worry about the popularity of her team's quiz live broadcast and also worried about the solo performance in case of last place.
But no matter what, we will fight against the enemy with our soldiers and block the water with earth.
Ren Limeng sighed silently, raised her eyes and finally noticed the strange atmosphere of complete silence around her after Fei Jingting finished reading the cue card. Ren Limeng raised a faint smile of "everything is still under control" on her face and spoke softly.
"The program team has some ideas for this quiz."
Ren Limeng's summary was so good that she couldn't even begin to praise it enough, and she implicitly described this very targeted quiz.
No matter from which angle you think about it, it is difficult for Ren Limeng to find her team's advantage in the three public exams at the first time, except... the four members of her team are good-looking and should be photogenic during the live broadcast. At least the impression score is not much lower than others.
But no matter how worried they were, everyone tried to appear calm in front of the camera, except Fei Jingting, who couldn't hide her emotions on her face.
"The production team is trying to encourage us to adapt the theme song and perform it ourselves, right? What should we do now? We don't even have a singer on the team. Does anyone know how to adapt a song?"
