For each of the guests present, acting or performing was not a difficult task, after all, it was their job to make a living.
However, collecting enough information in such a short time and producing a promotional video that satisfies the judging panel composed of townspeople and tourists is quite a challenge.
The assignment of the guest stars was not surprising. Yan Di naturally joined Song Mengmeng's group, while the late-arriving superstar Wang Shuyue joined the red team, who had been constantly suppressed by the blue team and had been eating ordinary boxed lunches for almost a week during the filming of the show.
The live stream was packed with onlookers eager to see what would happen next. Everyone was incredibly excited and looking forward to the final episode of the variety show, eager to see how these celebrities would make a fool of themselves.
Song Mengmeng has memories of this town, so she is obviously more familiar with it when it comes to finding a breakthrough and entry point.
It's called an ancient town because many of the buildings here still retain their original appearance from a hundred years ago, such as the covered bridges spanning the river and the bluestone alleyways...
Add in elements like tea and incense, and nothing is more eye-catching than a time-travel adventure.
The suggestion, made by Song Mengmeng, was immediately approved by both Emperor Yan and Fu Liancheng. Wu Qianqian was initially delighted to have the opportunity to be close to Emperor Yan and have the intimate interactions she desired. However, after several attempts, the result she received left her utterly disappointed—
Even during their last two encounters, she could see an overwhelming killing intent and warning in Yan Di's eyes—come any closer, and I'll kill you!
Wu Qianqian wasn't stupid; she quickly stopped her suicidal probing and obediently became the big boss's little follower.
Since she's a follower, she naturally listens to whoever has the strongest fist when it comes to making decisions.
Now that Emperor Yan has already agreed to Song Mengmeng's proposal, what's the point of her objecting?! Besides, she can't think of a better suggestion than Song Mengmeng's right now. If she interrupts and ends up choosing Song Mengmeng's suggestion but the result isn't what she expected, wouldn't she be courting death?!
Therefore, faced with Song Mengmeng's proactive and self-sacrificing behavior, Wu Qianqian naturally nodded in agreement, her voice filled with genuine approval.
Now that we've decided on the shooting direction, all that's left is to collect footage.
Song Mengmeng thought of the teahouse she visited on the first day of filming the show.
That must be the oldest teahouse in town. If you go back and ask the young lady there for help, you'll have material about cloud and mist tea!
As for the remaining incense, you can find a match at the incense workshop on the other side!
They filmed another segment showcasing the scenery of the ancient town, which, within such a short timeframe, was probably the easiest promotional video they could come up with.
After briefly planning their itinerary, the group didn't waste any time and quickly headed towards their first destination: the teahouse.
Just as Song Mengmeng had expected, the young lady naturally offered her support after hearing their purpose. She not only simply introduced the legend of Yunwu tea and its subsequent development to Song Mengmeng and her companions, but also provided them with beautiful photos of the Yunwu tea plantation taken when their teahouse filmed a promotional video.
This is pretty good video material!
Next, at the incense workshop, they received a very warm welcome. Through their visit, they not only learned about the history of incense making in the town, but also received some original videos promoting incense.
The remaining scenes will require the cooperation of these four guests!
Song Mengmeng and her friends then went to borrow the props they needed for filming the video from the production crew!
Everything was prepared in an orderly manner. Song Mengmeng and her team made rapid progress. By around 3 p.m., they had completed the collection of all the materials. All they needed to do was ask the editor provided by the production team to edit and merge the entire sample footage together according to their requirements to complete the post-production.
The judging panel responsible for the final selection had already been formed. The judges who had been given this opportunity were all excited and waiting in the small square set up in the middle of the village for the final selection to begin.
PD Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
The show is nearing its end, and it should be able to conclude successfully without any unexpected problems!
While some unexpected situations can indeed boost a show's viewership and ratings to some extent, such a thrilling, rollercoaster-like development is too much for him at his age to handle...
It's better to play it safe!
If he were to accidentally cause a mishap, he would truly ruin his reputation in his later years.
PD Wu leisurely picked up his thermos, but before he could even take a sip of the goji berry-infused water, he was startled by a production assistant who suddenly rushed in from outside, almost causing him to drop the thermos.
"What's wrong? Why are you all so flustered!"
PD Wu felt his eyelids twitching wildly. He took a deep breath, stared at the production assistant in front of him, and tried his best to maintain his composure while reaching into his pocket for his usual blood pressure medication. He even started to wonder if he should also bring some nitroglycerin pills with him later.
"Someone has run out of town and is causing trouble!"
They surrounded our guest, Song Mengmeng, insisting that Song Mengmeng was their daughter, originally named Song Zhaodi. They claimed that she moved to the city and changed her name to Song Mengmeng because she didn't like the name and wanted to sign with the entertainment industry.
As a result, after the girl went to the city and made a name for herself in the entertainment industry, she completely lost contact with her family!
If it weren't for Song Mengmeng joining our film crew and coming to the town, they really wouldn't have been able to contact her!
"It's already in complete chaos outside, Director Wu, you'd better go take a look!"
This production assistant was a newcomer who had just started working with PD Wu. This was indeed the first time he had ever seen such a chaotic scene, so he was inevitably a little flustered and breathless.
"Hehe, what a coincidence!" PD Wu was not the junior production assistant in front of him who had just started out and entered the industry. As soon as he heard his description full of magical realism, he keenly sensed the conspiracy behind this storm.
He misses his daughter but can't get in touch with her...
If they were truly so concerned about their daughter who hadn't contacted them in so long, then why were they here promoting their film in this town for almost a week already?!
[Making up the two chapters I missed yesterday...]
