Chapter 357: Sharp-tongued
"I heard you're going out the day after tomorrow, so I wanted to confirm with you in advance about the filming that day."
Meng Chuyuan raised his eyes to look at Deputy Director Li and asked softly, "How do you want to arrange it?"
Seeing Meng Chuyuan's direct question, Deputy Director Li didn't play dumb with her: "Can I follow along?"
Ahhhhh, Director, you are my god! You finally said something I love to hear.
[Everyone wrote a letter in blood, begging the production crew to follow along! !]
[Shoot! I love watching it after real-name authentication. I really want to see the big guy’s daily life. It’s great. Satisfy the child’s curiosity.]
[Deputy Director Li, you are my only director. Someone, please give Deputy Director Li a promotion.]
[I bet five bags of spicy noodles that my sister Meng will agree. She's soft-hearted and not afraid of hardship. Assistant Director Li should be able to get it done with just a little plea.]
With two celebrity guests leaving today, Deputy Director Li is under a lot of pressure.
The program crew thought that as long as Meng Chuyuan stayed, the data might recover. However, they heard that even Meng Chuyuan and his group had changes.
Meng Chuyuan raised an eyebrow, neither agreeing nor refusing: "Can I know the reason?"
Deputy Director Li tactfully expressed his feelings: "Originally, because we merged two episodes into one, the shooting schedule was shortened, and we were worried that we wouldn't have enough footage by then."
She is not as good at speaking as Director Luo, and her style of action is not as decisive. If it were not for the last resort, Deputy Director Li would not have talked to Meng Chuyuan about these things.
"How can it not be enough?"
Meng Chuyuan said matter-of-factly, "One episode should be at least an hour long, right? There are seven or eight guests, and each episode takes three to four days to record. Basically, we're filming 24 hours a day. Even if we take away the beginning and end and add in the commercials, in the end, each person still has five minutes of screen time on average..."
That's it? And you told her you were short of material?
Of course, Meng Chuyuan personally didn't mind them following him.
But Lu Qingye was with her, so Meng Chuyuan naturally had to consider his feelings.
What if he doesn't like being photographed?
"Your analysis is actually not wrong. First of all, we have to ensure the quality of the film. However, most of the content shot every day is actually repetitive, such as purchasing, cooking, and other staff members shot every day... But these are not the ultimate effect we want."
Although Deputy Director Li's explanation was clear and logical, Meng Chuyuan could draw inferences: "The same ads appear in every episode. The advertisers have achieved the desired effect, but who cares about the audience's desire to watch?"
Deputy Director Li: “…”
[Well said! Every time I watch a show, there are so many ads. It's so annoying. Sometimes when I'm watching something exciting, an ad pops up and it really affects my viewing experience.]
[Is Sister Meng from the debate team? Her smarts and eloquence really impress me!]
[Although shopping and cooking are filmed in every episode, they're not exactly the same. U1s1, the commercials are still the most annoying! Don't argue, if you argue, you're right! !]
[Oh my god, Sister Meng's eloquence is something that us mortals can't learn!]
It was indeed a bit offensive to suddenly tell Meng Chuyuan that they were being filmed when they had no idea what was going on. Moreover, they were a regular program, not paparazzi, and there was no guarantee that what was captured under the live camera would be safe. If it touched on personal privacy issues, the program team would have to take legal responsibility.
Assistant Director Li pondered for a moment, and finally offered Meng Chuyuan a suggestion: "How about this? We won't follow the filming, but can you find some time to make up for the recording time that Teacher Meng lacked?"
Meng Chuyuan readily accepted: "That's no problem. How do you want to make up for it?"
"I'll tell you when I've arranged it."
She nodded. "Okay."

Qin Wanyu received news from Qi Zhen in advance and knew that he would be back tonight, so she specifically asked the kitchen to prepare more dishes.
When Qi Zhen got home, it was completely dark.
He got out of the car and saw Qin Wanyu standing at the door of the villa waiting for him.
"Mom, why did you come out?"
Qin Wanyu stood in the twilight and smiled at him, "I guess it's time for you to come back."
Qi Zhen walked to Qin Wanyu's side and blocked half of the wind for her. "It's windy outside, please take care of yourself."
"Hmm..." Qin Wanyu's eyes swept over him, her eyebrows revealing a bit of emotion: "I can't believe my son has grown up so much."
Seeing her suddenly being so sentimental, Qi Zhen couldn't help but frown, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Qin Wanyu said it was okay, but then she saw Qi Zhen's hand was injured. She nervously pulled him over to check: "What's wrong with your hand?"
"It's okay, I accidentally got scratched by the knife."
"Why is it wrapped like this? Doesn't it hurt?" Qin Wanyu looked at the gauze wrapped around it. It was thick and big, and tied so tightly that the wound couldn't breathe.
Qi Zhen said calmly, "Qi Yan packed it for me."
Qin Wanyu: “…”
She thought it was Qi Zhen who packed it himself, but she didn’t expect it was Qi Yan!
After a long while, Qin Wanyu asked curiously, "Have you two reconciled?"
"No... Let's go in first."
The two of them went into the house together, and before dinner started, the mother and son sat in the living room and chatted.
Qi Zhen: "Where's Dad? He hasn't come back yet?"
"I'm going back to my hometown with your grandma to visit relatives. I guess she won't be back until tomorrow."
"Mom, grandma called me the other day and told me you were pregnant. Do you really want to give birth to this child?"
Qin Wanyu sighed softly, "Actually, I haven't thought about it yet, but your father... wants this child."
"Mom? Can you have some independent opinion?"
Qi Zhen's eyes were filled with helplessness, and his tone was cold: "This is your own body, not his... You are already this age, and he can say such words as asking you to give birth to the child, so don't expect him to feel sorry for you."
——
"Dinner is ready!" After being busy for most of the day, Xu Huanning and Liao Jiake finally prepared dinner.
"Finally, we have something to eat." Meng Chuyuan quickly stood up and moved to the dining room.
Lu Jinsen helped serve the dishes and put the rice in for everyone.
"Where is Sister Qi Yan? Why haven't I seen her all night?" Liao Jiayan sat down slowly and found that Qi Yan was not there.
Lu Jinsen asked curiously, "Did she leave with Qi Zhen?"
[Why does that young lady need someone to come and see her when she eats...?]
[Lu Jinsen, I don't know, so don't talk nonsense! ! Although I want her to leave, she hasn't left yet.]
[Did Qi Yan order takeout again? ]
[Don't worry, he's a grown-up, he won't starve]
"She seems to be in the room, right?" Xu Huanning still had some impression of Qi Yan, so she casually replied, "She was still there before Detective Qi left. I didn't see her leave, so she should be in the room."
Lu Jinsen: "Who of you will go and ask her to come down for dinner?"
Xu Huanning glanced at Lu Jinsen and asked, "Why aren't you going?"
Lu Jinsen cleaned himself up: "I'm a boy, it's not convenient for me to go to your girls' place."
