Chapter 5 Chapter 005 Live broadcast begins...
Although Yan Nanxing said something like "feel free to give me your contact information" that day, he has never been to "Xinyuan" again until now. It was strange that someone came to his door a few days later.
Once we eliminate them, it becomes obvious who sent for it.
Yan Nanxing laughed and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Give it to him."
After a while, a user with a lotus avatar like "心平气荷" appeared on Yan Nanxing's WeChat friend request. He was slightly startled, then clicked on it and saw the verification request: "Hello Mr. Yan, I am Zhao Zong, Nan Fei's agent."
Yan Nanxing sighed softly and started chatting with the other party through his friend.
Zhao Zongxian sent a friendly greeting emoji and then got straight to the point: "Mr. Yan, I think you've accepted the CP business plan arranged by the Taoyuan production team. What are your thoughts on the business model during the filming of the variety show?"
The purpose of Mr. Zhao's visit was similar to what Yan Nanxing had guessed. He picked up the tablet beside him and began to search for Zhao Zong's information, while replying: "Mr. Zhao, you mentioned this because you have an arrangement, right? Please tell me."
Then, Zhao Zong’s information popped up on the search interface.
Zhao Zong, who was 30 years old at the time, was one of the gold medal agents of Hongxu Media, the company behind Nan Fei. In addition to Nan Fei, he had also brought out two movie emperors and three popular stars. He was very good at making an artist famous in the fastest way.
Seeing the title of "Gold Medal Agent", Yan Nanxing felt a little amused.
He had a hunch that the agent's purpose was not just for Nan Fei. After all, no matter how big a company is, it would not be dissatisfied with more money.
Sure enough, after Zhao Zong sent several documents detailing the CP's mode of getting along, he sent a message as if asking casually.
Zhao Zong: [Mr. Yan, it would be a shame if you didn't make your debut with such excellent looks. It just so happens that we at Hongxu are planning to cultivate artists with this style. If there's a chance, could we collaborate after the variety show? Of course, I don't have any plans. Having more friends means more paths.]
Yan Nanxing: [Thanks for the love, but sorry, I really don’t have any plans to debut]
Zhao Zong: [Is it because of the online rumors that plagued the Shannai account two years ago?]
Seeing these words, Yan Nanxing's smile gradually faded.
Zhao Zong then sent another message: [Sorry, sorry, my choice of words was inappropriate. I just feel sorry that someone like you has been discredited by something completely fabricated.]
Yan Nanxing's emotions did not affect her tactful reply: [Let's talk about the specific details of the CP business.]
These words were said in a tactful yet firm manner, indicating that the person involved was not willing to talk too much about the matter. Zhao Zong also understood the situation and began to explain the details of the document sent to Yan Nanxing.
Zhao Zong's words were concise and accurate, and he was also very patient. It was obvious that he came prepared. Yan Nanxing sighed inwardly and finally replied: "Mr. Zhao, the plan you provided is indeed very good, and I believe you can implement it smoothly."
Yan Nanxing: [Unfortunately, there is a problem]
Yan Nanxing: [I only do top]
Zhao Zong made several contingency plans to deal with Yan Nanxing's possible responses, but he never expected that this was what he cared about.
Zhao Zong: [Mr. Nan, you should also be aware of the current trend in online media. Judging from public preference, your position is more suitable for the receiving end. Moreover, this only needs to be demonstrated in certain occasions and will not affect your actual reputation.]
Yan Nanxing: [It’s because it’s too popular and prone to stereotypes. And the couple models Mr. Zhao prepared might not be suitable for Nan Fei and me.]
Zhao Zong sensed something else in this sentence: [So what do you think?]
[I have a rather bold plan. It's a bit risky, but I don't need Nan Fei's cooperation. He just needs to be himself. Besides, based on his true personality, I can completely create a novel CP setting that is suitable only for Nan Fei and me.]
Zhao Zong's eyelids twitched. While he was still hesitating, Yan Nanxing continued, "Mr. Zhao should be able to tell which is more popular, a unique CP model or an assembly line model."
[Do you dare to take a gamble?]
The other party did not give an immediate answer, but Yan Nanxing was very sure that he could convince him.
Judging from the many projects Zhao Zong has worked on, this agent is very bold in trying new ideas.
Then after a moment of silence, a red dot appeared in the chat window.
Zhao Zong: [Okay, let’s talk about your ideas.]
————
On Friday afternoon, Yan Nanxing arrived at the city where the filming was taking place as arranged by the program crew.
The urban development of this city is close to that of a second-tier city, with a long culture and pleasant scenery. However, the several counties outside the urban area are scattered around the mountains, and the transportation has not yet been fully standardized. In order to prevent some guests from arriving on time before the broadcast, everyone was asked to gather before entering Zhaoling County.
Compared to the last meeting, Yan Nanxing was the last one to arrive this time. Because the weather forecast said there would be light rain in Zhaoling, Yan Nanxing put on a maroon wool sweater over a light gray camisole, and casual sports pants of the same color. Her long curly hair was tied into a high ponytail, and she looked pure and lively.
Yan Nanxing was very eye-catching wherever he went. After putting on his makeup, he followed the staff who led the way to the meeting point. Before he saw the other guests, he heard Tao Xi happily shouting, "Beautiful sister, look here!"
Tang Jingyun and Tao Xi stood together, and when their eyes met Yan Nanxing, there was a flash of surprise in their eyes. Although we had a basic impression of this person in the trailer, the impact brought by the real person was more visually stimulating.
Out of admiration for the beauty, Tang Jingyun unconsciously developed a natural liking for her.
As Yan Nanxing approached after hearing the sound, Tang Jingyun finally came to her senses and patted Tao Xi's arm in a scolding tone: "Xiao Xi, be careful, he's a boy."
Yan Nanxing smiled and said, "It's okay. Beautiful sister is a very high evaluation. If Tao Xi likes it, just call her that."
Upon hearing this, Tao Xi raised his head like a puppy that had been praised, and smiled proudly with his hands on his hips.
The other three men just came over and nodded, politely and courteously.
Yan Nanxing just smiled politely, but when he saw Nan Fei, his gaze lingered for a moment, as if he had something to say.
But in the end I didn't say it.
Seeing that the greetings were almost over, the director clapped his hands and shouted, "Okay, now that everyone is here, get on the bus, we're heading to Taoyuan Cottage!"
The bus was very spacious, with more than enough space for six people in the back row. I don't know what everyone was thinking, but they sat in a row of three people in tacit understanding. At first glance, there were three beautiful women in the front and three handsome guys in the back. However, Yan Nanxing was a little too tall, so she sat in the inner window seat.
After we started driving, everyone was chatting casually. At some point, the houses outside the car window gradually became sparse, and all we could see were mountains and fields, rising and falling one after another. Although we were heading to a county town hidden in the mountains, the scenery along the road was not depressing, but rather fresh and comfortable. At a glance, all we could see were lush green pines and the faint clouds in the distance.
About an hour later, the staff in the front row came over to remind everyone that the live broadcast was about to begin and asked them to get ready.
Yan Nanxing tensed up reflexively. He hadn't done a long live broadcast in a long time. Even just facing the camera made his chest ache.
When he thought about the countless netizens watching the live broadcast on the other side of the camera, Yan Nanxing's breathing became a little short and he felt a little stressed.
Suddenly, something pressed against the backrest, and the vibration penetrated the skin on the back and vibrated to the muscles and bones. Yan Nanxing came back to his senses, turned his head slightly, and saw a hand holding a mineral water bottle reaching out from above the seat.
Nan Fei's clear and calm voice came from behind her ear: "Do you need motion sickness medicine?"
Motion sickness medicine should be taken at least half an hour in advance.
Yan Nanxing wiped the thought from his mind with amusement and took the mineral water: "Thank you, but I'm not carsick, I'm just a little sleepy."
He didn't turn around, so he didn't see Nan Fei's expression. He just heard the other party reply with a somewhat dull "hmm", and then there was no further words.
The front-line staff debugged the equipment, and then at 5:00 p.m., the live broadcast platform of Qingzao TV was turned on. When six faces appeared on the screen, netizens who had been waiting for a long time started to swirl the screen like crazy.
"Dear audience friends, good afternoon! Welcome to the premiere of our 'Taoyuan Cottage' live broadcast!" The director finished reading the opening words, and everyone applauded in unison. "Well, as this is our first live broadcast of Taoyuan Cottage, let's start with some simple content!"
"Now it's time to introduce yourself!"
Although they said they were introducing themselves, the people present were all familiar faces who had been active in the public eye for a long time. Tao Xi and Tang Jingyun were good at creating an atmosphere, and a small segment could make everyone laugh. Everyone was announced in the order of the official announcement of the program, and then it was finally the turn of the most anticipated Yan Nanxing.
By this time, everyone's eyes were looking over. Although it was a well-intentioned heckling, it was still a bit too formal. Yan Nanxing, caught up in all the attention, forgot his prepared words and felt rather helpless: "Should I clarify one thing first? I am, biologically speaking, a male."
The two ladies couldn't help but burst out laughing, and the atmosphere at least relaxed a bit. Yan Nanxing also continued smoothly: "My name is Yan Nanxing, my surname is Yan, and the meaning of Nanxing is taken from Arisaema. I am biologically and psychologically male, and I wear women's clothes just because I like it. In my opinion, small habits that don't disrupt public order and conscience are actually harmless. Of course, I don't really care because my personal habits cause people to talk about it, so if you want to call me sister, there is no problem at all."
Yan Nanxing behaved generously and even made a humorous remark at the end. Tang Jingyun was surprised by his openness and asked curiously, "You really don't mind? Then can I call you sister?"
"No problem." Yan Nanxing winked at her. "Sister and sister are both very cute and kind compliments."
After this part, the director began to randomly select questions from netizens, and decided the order of questions and answers after everyone had a rock-paper-scissors game to decide the winner.
This segment is equivalent to a fan benefit. It is obvious to see which guest is more popular and which guest has more active fans. The director carefully controls the scale of the questions and almost goes wrong several times, but the guests have the right to choose to answer or not, and the degree of humanity is still relatively high.
After all, at the beginning, the program team named it a pastoral vacation variety show, positioning it as a real slow-paced life, allowing netizens to experience real pastoral life together to relieve the increasing pressure of work and study.
But what surprised the program crew was that there was someone like Yan Nanxing who could answer questions seriously and at the same time dodge questions he didn't want to talk about.
After all, he is an amateur, netizens have limited knowledge about him, and it is difficult to ask him questions, so it is easy for him to lead the topic to the ends of the earth.
When it was Yan Nanxing's turn to be questioned again, a comment suddenly appeared among the crowd of flattering praises: [Wait! Is Yan Nanxing the internet celebrity cross-dressing boss Shan Nai?]
This comment immediately sparked a huge uproar, with people asking about it one after another. The netizen then explained: [A very popular handsome internet celebrity on Douyin! His name is Shannai. He hasn't updated in a long time, but the more I see him, the more I think he looks like him!]
The director in charge of the live broadcast didn't know Yan Nanxing's background. At this moment, he seized the word as if he had seized the traffic. His hands trembled slightly and he asked excitedly, "Excuse me, Yan Nanxing, have you ever been active on short video software using the username Shannai?"
Even after the question was uttered, Yan Nanxing was still smiling, but for some reason, the atmosphere on the bus felt awkward. Fortunately, the next moment, the person being questioned finally spoke up: "Kaempferia galanga? Its relationship with Arisaema confusa is probably just that of a traditional Chinese medicine; they're not even in the same family. Well, Kaempferia galanga is indeed a popular online nickname because it sounds nice."
Yan Nanxing took the initiative to give up, and the director quickly laughed it off. Even though many netizens who had returned flooded the screen with comments thinking that Yan Nanxing was Shannai, the director did not dare to say another word on the topic.
There were also two mini-game segments in between, and the live broadcast lasted for a total of one and a half hours before the director announced the end. Amidst the netizens' reluctant pleas to keep them, he added, "Of course, every week of the official recording, we will randomly select a time slot for the live broadcast. We will then release a preview of the time on Weibo. Everyone is welcome to come back tomorrow!"
The livestream ended, and the staff began to pack up the equipment. The director, who had been hosting the event, finally breathed a sigh of relief and came over to apologize to the guests. "I'm so sorry, livestreams are so uncontrollable. Thank you all for your hard work today. If I've offended you, please tell me directly and I'll apologize!"
This statement was very pointed. After all, today's live broadcast was very effective, and the only one who could be said to have been offended was Yan Nanxing.
The director was a woman in her twenties, new to the position. Yan Nanxing had always been very tolerant of women. Although he was in a bad mood just now, he had no intention of making things difficult for the director: "Directing the broadcast is also very hard, so I'm the one who needs your guidance. This is my first time recording a variety show, so please forgive me if there are many things I don't understand."
The director finally felt relieved.
How can there be such a handsome and kind man in this world!
This episode passed quietly, and at a quarter past seven that evening, everyone finally arrived at their destination - Taoyuan Cottage.
Taoyuan Cottage is a three-story villa with a pastoral wooden style interior decoration. After arriving, the director announced that there would be no tasks tonight and let everyone move freely.
But the recording will continue. Hidden cameras have been installed throughout the house, and attention must be paid to every place except a few bedrooms.
"The ladies' rooms are on the first floor, and the gentlemen's rooms are on the second floor." The staff distributed the room keys to everyone. "Starting tomorrow, the six of you will take over all the authority of the small building, so get a good rest tonight."
Tang Jingyun pressed the issue, "So starting tomorrow, the six of us will be responsible for the sanitation, daily maintenance, and all other expenses of the entire building, right?"
That's the logic. In fact, it's not a huge workload if divided among six people. However, Tang Jingyun is straightforward and likes to take charge. She couldn't help but take the lead in making plans: "No, I have to go around and take a look at the neighbors and the environment first. Anyone want to come with me?"
When Tao Xi heard this, she raised her hand high, wanting to follow, but Tang Jingyun rejected her without hesitation: "Baby, you are the only girl here besides me. You have to move in tonight, and the bedroom needs to be cleaned. I will leave the cleaning of the girls' dormitory to you for the time being, is that okay?"
Tao Xi curled her lips, but still nodded actively when she was assigned the task.
Cen Jiashu said slowly, "It's so late and no one has eaten yet. I'll go to the kitchen to prepare dinner."
Seeing that everyone was quite proactive, Shen Yuzhe also spoke up: “Then I’ll go out with Teacher Tang.”
Everyone completed the arrangements in a few words, and then the task of cleaning the boys' bedrooms and moving luggage was handed over to Nan Fei and Yan Nanxing.
Everyone went about their business and dispersed. Yan Nanxing turned around and found that Nan Fei and several suitcases were nowhere to be seen.
So fast?
He glanced at the stairs at the entrance, walked up them leisurely, and around the intersection, he looked up and found Nan Fei standing in front of him with his head down, not knowing what attracted him, but very focused.
Yan Nanxing suddenly felt malicious and walked forward lightly, bowing slightly when he was less than half a body distance away.
Sensing someone approaching, Nan Fei suddenly came back to his senses and looked up, exposing his phone screen completely to Yan Nanxing.
His phone was displaying a popular short video interface, and at that moment, a very bright and attractive "woman" was smiling and looking out of the screen. Her lazy and seductive eyes were very alluring.
The account name column in the lower left corner of the video shows two words: [山奈]
