Chapter 37 I'm Here
It was just a simple discussion within the team, and the vote with only three votes was still organized in an orderly manner by Li Qingzi.
As if it was a very important ceremony, Li Qingzi pushed forward the process with a smile on her face. Except for Chen Xing, everyone else also cooperated with anticipation, and everyone's eyes were focused on Li Qingzi's hands.
The recording site was a harmonious scene. Ren Limeng quietly raised her eyes and looked around. The camera crew was staring at the guests intently, and the filming staff of the five guests were even more fully engaged. At this moment, the serious expressions on the staff's faces were comparable to when Yan Baiwei and Shen Xingzhi had a conflict.
Something must have happened that she didn't know about.
Ren Limeng lowered her eyes slightly, a trace of thought flashed in her eyes, and she listened to Li Qingzi slowly and briefly singing out two votes, one for Yan Baiwei and one for her.
Ren Limeng looked up at Li Qingzi who picked up the last piece of paper, and suddenly a faint sense of nervousness welled up in her heart. She obviously didn't care much about which part she sang, but she still cared about the voting results.
It is the fear of the unknown, the confusion after things go beyond expectations, and the worry that is suppressed without making a sound.
really.
Li Qingzi raised her red lips slightly and slowly read out the name on the last ticket, "Yan Baiwei, Baiwei, congratulations! Li Meng..."
Li Qingzi looked at Ren Limeng who was silent at the side, and the smile on her lips faded. There was obvious concern and worry in her eyes, as if she had empathized with Ren Limeng's "frustration" at the moment.
Ren Limeng was stunned for half a second before finally coming back to her senses. A generous smile appeared on her face again. "It's okay. Since everyone thinks Bai Wei is more suitable, then let's switch! Sorry to have kept you all so long. Let's quickly continue practicing!"
Regarding performances and stage practice, if Ren Limeng still had a glimmer of hope at the beginning that everyone would unite and work hard, she has now come to a deeper understanding of reality.
"Mountains and Seas" is Orange's ace reality show. Whether it is daily travel or stage performances, they are just plot setting points that serve the camera. The unusual reactions of the guests at every moment during the recording are more exciting highlights that attract the program crew and the audience than the travel and stage itself.
No matter how the plot of the show develops, she cannot panic, and she cannot let the camera capture emotions that should not be shown in front of the camera.
Just like at this moment, she should subconsciously show a forced smile, but also show the open-mindedness and composure to face any outcome.
After a small incident, the recording on Thursday morning went smoothly. Everyone even quickly arranged the stage positions. It was already 1:00 p.m. after we and the program team finally confirmed the stage setting for Sunday's performance.
"After everyone finishes recording Xuanding Mountain, will we split up?"
The guests ordered takeout of local specialties for lunch. In the training room, Yan Baiwei put down her lunch box and looked past Xu Chichi and Ren Limeng beside her to Shen Xingzhi, "Brother Xingzhi, you should continue practicing banggu today, right?"
Xuanding Mountain is a must-see on today's itinerary. The program crew expects to finish recording before four in the afternoon. Looking at Chen Xingzhi who nodded slightly, Yan Baiwei and Li Qingzi cleverly exchanged glances.
Li Qingzi put down her chopsticks and sighed softly, "I'm so sorry that Bai Wei and I can't enjoy everyone's banggu performance this afternoon. We only earned 500 yuan from yesterday's mission, which is less than we expected. The room fee is too expensive, so we have to go to other reward check-in points to make money."
"It's okay, Qingzi, go get busy! We understand. The production team has prepared so many travel spots, and everyone is wasting time just sitting in the practice room. You should complete more tasks so that we can save some materials!"
Ren Limeng paused with her right hand holding the shrimp, and glanced at Xu Chichi who quickly acted as a peacemaker. She seemed to hear a hint of regret in her words?
Yes, compared to repetitive and boring banggu practice, the experience of playing Karin City attractions is definitely more interesting. When participating in a reality show, no one can completely ignore the camera.
Thinking about it this way, it’s no wonder that Yan Baiwei and Li Qingzi took the initiative to not participate in the banggu training. Ren Limeng thought they just wanted to be lazy, but ignored other factors.
After all, she had no experience in recording reality shows, so she didn't think too much about it. Fortunately, Shen Xingzhi chose to participate in the banggu training together. In the later stage of the show, they might not care about her and Xu Chichi's ranking, but Shen Xingzhi's shots would never be too few.
Ren Limeng stretched out her right hand, chewing the sweet and delicious shrimp in her mouth, secretly reviewing the current situation and thinking about how to break the deadlock.
Didn't Shen Xingzhi vote for her just now?
How can boring banggu training be made to look interesting in front of the camera?
Conflict or warmth, these are the two most common and effective settings in variety shows. Which one is more effective and more suitable for this reality show?
It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when everyone arrived at the ticket gate of Xuanding Mountain Scenic Area. Looking around, the mountain was lush and green. Ren Limeng couldn't help but think of the travel guide she had prepared. Xuanding Mountain has a long history, and the overlapping mountains record the years of time. There are many rare herbs and animals hidden in the lush mountains. It is a well-deserved "green oxygen bar".
The five guests followed the Xuanding Mountain tour guide's careful and gentle explanation and slowly walked into the mountain. Everyone's eyes stayed on the vibrant flowers, plants and trees on both sides. Along the way, they saw many strange green plants of various shapes. The female guests took out their mobile phones to take pictures and record them.
In the scorching summer, the towering ancient trees became natural parasols, and the freshness of the lush vegetation dispelled some of the stuffiness. Ren Limeng took a deep breath, squinted her eyes lazily, and immersed herself in the beauty of nature. The harmonious tranquility at this moment was so precious that it made people relax their minds unconsciously.
"I'm so tired! Tour guide, how far is it? We've already trained all morning, and you want us to actually climb a mountain?!? This is too intense, day in and day out! We also have a live performance on Sunday, who can handle that? Tour guide, where is the cable car? Directors, have you finished filming? Let's take the cable car!"
But as a guest, recording is still the most important thing and the purpose of everyone's trip.
Yan Baiwei's expression was hard to discern with her sun hat and sunglasses on, but the complaints in her words were obvious. She held a small fan in her left hand and kept fanning her ears with her right hand. Behind her was Li Qingzi, who was also fully armed and holding a parasol for the two of them.
"Bai Wei, Xuanding Mountain isn't very high, so why not consider climbing it? The ecological environment in the mountains here in Lin City is excellent, with many unique plants that have been planted there for hundreds of years. If you take the cable car, you'll miss many interesting sights. Now that you're here, what do the other guests think?"
Behind the camera, Dong Zhu's voice was gentle, showing no sign of any impact from the high temperature. Her eyes swept over Shen Xingzhi and other guests, and her words were full of encouragement.
At this moment, Li Qingzi and Xu Chichi avoided Dong Zhu's sight at the same time, and looked around tacitly as if they suddenly became interested in the flowers, plants and trees beside them.
"Guide, how long will it take us to climb up?"
Ren Limeng raised her eyes and glanced at the mountain in front of her, then turned her head to look at the scenic area tour guide beside her, and spoke softly to break the silence among the tree shadows.
"It only takes an hour. There's a panda house and a bee house in the middle. The panda house is built halfway up the mountain. The way up and down the mountain are different. If you choose to take the cable car, you might miss the panda house."
"The paths up and down the mountain are so well-built. Is the Bee House the 'hanging coffin' that looks like a coffin in those guidebooks?"
Ren Limeng looked up, and before her were endless shadows of trees. Her conversation with the tour guide was natural, but Yan Baiwei and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. Hanging coffins? What hanging coffins?
For the first time, the tour guide focused his attention on Ren Limeng, who seemed the most unfamiliar among the guests. As she spoke, the tour guide's smile became a little bigger, and his tone unconsciously became a little more intimate.
"Yes, Xuanding Mountain is named after the 'Hanging Coffins'. The Bee House is a bee farm passed down from generation to generation by our local beekeepers. It's very unique. It seems this guest has done his homework."
"Are the hanging coffins also halfway up the mountain?"
Xu Chichi couldn't help but speak, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
"The hanging coffins are on the next mountain. The best spot to take a photo is between the lower mountainside and the top. I highly recommend everyone to take photos at the bee house. It's the best photogenic spot in the entire scenic area. You are all so beautiful, the photos will definitely look even better!"
The tour guide pointed to the mountains ahead and began to explain the panda house again in a vivid way. Xu Chichi was a little moved. She subconsciously glanced at Yan Baiwei and Li Qingzi, who were wiping the sweat from their faces with tissues.
"Since we're here, let's all check in!"
After looking around, Chen Xingzhi made a decision directly. Yan Baiwei paused to wipe the sweat off her face, and suddenly looked at Chen Xingzhi, her smile froze.
Checking in... doesn't that mean climbing a mountain?
She had expressed so clearly before that she didn't want to climb the mountain. Was Shen Xingzhi slapping her in the face now?
She thought Shen Xingzhi had restrained himself today. Now, was he deliberately going against her?
Her status in the circle is not as good as his, but even a clay man has his temper. What's more, she, Yan Baiwei, has never been willing to put herself in a difficult position!
Fury was building within her, but Yan Baiwei managed to maintain a last vestige of a smile. She repeated her words with a hint of confirmation, unable to conceal a hint of urgency. "Brother Xingzhi, how about we take the cable car up to the top of the mountain and then head straight to this hanging coffin? We're all tired, and you still have banggu rehearsal later, so let's get this over with quickly!"
This proposal seems to be in response to the question, but it cleverly omits the panda house, once again expressing that taking the cable car is not only a suggestion but also a reminder.
"Ren Limeng, what do you think?"
Shen Xingzhi glanced at Yan Baiwei, and the moment he spoke, Ren Limeng was "frightened". She calmed down and her brain immediately started working quickly. She forced a smile and was about to "play Tai Chi", but found that Shen Xingzhi's eyes had already passed her.
