[Caught red-handed cheating! Does Xi-mei have to be so hilariously silly? That innocent yet pitiful little look really cracked me up.]
[I wondered why the live stream camera was so shaky until I saw the Yanxi couple sneaking around and I realized the cameraman was secretly filming them, and had even captured such juicy scoops.]
[It's Wagyu beef steak, hahaha, no wonder they were hiding to steal it.]
[What kind of doting husband tactic is this?! He secretly gave Xi Mei a single piece of Wagyu beef steak, even behind the cameras, and then took her to eat it all by himself! Who says there's no illicit affair? It's everywhere!]
[To clarify, as a fan of the show, it's perfectly normal for Yan Wang and Xi Mei to share meals as partners, similar to other guest pairs. However, this snowflake steak was indeed excessive, and the fan is understandably upset.]
Director Chen reviewed the morning's footage and found that the guests had zero interaction throughout, the footage lacked any logical shot composition, and was so disjointed that it was impossible to edit.
He called the assistant director over and gave him a severe scolding.
The events of the banquet for thousands of families and the camping base were numerous and complex, and the large scale, the diverse characters, and the complicated matters were not excuses. The lack of manpower for filming was also not an excuse.
He was angry because he had only been absent for a morning, and the whole team was in chaos. How could he dare to let them do things in the future?
So after the banquet began, he personally sat in the interview vehicle and controlled the entire filming process.
Director Chen glanced at the fixed camera and saw Jiang Hexi's guilty look, and knew she was up to something.
He told the PD to follow quietly without alerting the enemy, and that's how the "famous scene" was born.
Looking at the skyrocketing popularity in the storyboard livestream, the assistant director was completely convinced and said:
"Director, you're amazing. You can spot any of their little tricks."
"And then, what should we do next?"
Director Chen, wanting to give him a nudge, tested him with a question.
The assistant director was only thinking about continuing filming, but if he actually said it out loud, he would definitely be scolded severely, so he stupidly couldn't say anything.
Seeing that time was of the essence, Director Chen picked up the walkie-talkie on the table and said:
"Camera position three, focus on the snowflake steak in Jiang Hexi's lunchbox, and give a close-up shot of the details."
"The head of logistics, find two staff members and tell the remaining guests that Yan Jie got Jiang Hexi a piece of snowflake steak and told her to eat it secretly by herself, and see their reaction."
He glanced at the assistant director and gave an on-the-spot instruction: "This is the kind of reaction you should give as the executive director."
The assistant director was deeply impressed and said, "Director, I've learned something."
Director Chen had a little bit of personal motive when he did this.
Previously, when Chai Fei came over to freeload off the production crew's meals, she ate boiled cabbage, sweet and sour pork ribs, and braised beef brisket with tomatoes, which was already top-tier work meals. However, Yan Jie brought out a top-notch Wagyu beef steak.
In comparison, his work meals were simply unacceptable, which made him lose face.
Jiang Hexi was instantly killed by the camera in the live broadcast room.
She repeatedly told herself not to panic, not to panic, not to panic; to stay calm, composed, and quiet—
In a flash of inspiration, she grasped a glimmer of hope amidst endless despair.
As the camera focused on the snowflake beef in the lunchbox, capturing the details, Jiang Hexi lifted the bottom of the box, generously showing it to the viewers in the live stream:
"This is top-grade Wagyu beef from cattle raised in the suburbs."
"Family members, look at this delicate snowflake pattern, the red and white stripes, the perfect balance of fat and lean. When this steak is being pan-fried, the whole piece sizzles and drips with oil, the aroma is absolutely amazing."
After saying all that, Jiang Hexi, at a loss for words, looked at Yan Jie standing to the side:
"The lighting is so dim, and there aren't even any tables and chairs for display. How can viewers see the details clearly? Assistant anchor Yan, go and contact the production team to handle these issues."
Standing off-camera, Assistant Yan calmly replied with a "Okay."
Jiang Hexi picked up her chopsticks, took out a piece of Wagyu beef, and began her steak-eating broadcast right in front of the live camera:
"It's tender and delicate, juicy and flavorful, with a rich beef aroma mixed with a hint of sweetness. It tastes really good. If you have the chance, you must try the snowflake beef from the suburban county. Family, let me give you another piece to try."
Director Chen, sitting in the interview car, saw this scene and was so angry he laughed.
[Xi Mei's reaction, eloquence, and intelligence are absolutely amazing!]
Even top streamers couldn't give such a god-like response. If I hadn't seen how sneaky she and Yama were before, I would have believed her endless lies.
[The cafeteria on the first floor of the university building erupted in laughter. The restaurant manager, thinking something had happened, rushed out, only to find everyone was watching Xi Mei's live stream!]
[She even went online to recruit people, asking Director Chen to adjust the lighting and furniture for her, so she could openly eat Wagyu beef. She's incredibly talented!]
Yan Jie came over to borrow the lighting equipment from Director Chen, but before they could exchange more than a few words, the village chief led the county leaders over.
The leader immediately shook Director Chen's hand and repeatedly expressed his gratitude.
Yan Jie stepped aside and listened to their lively conversation, roughly understanding their purpose.
The county's economy has never been able to develop.
Unexpectedly, the banquet for thousands of families featured suburban yellow cattle as the main dish, and the live broadcast quickly promoted the reputation of suburban yellow cattle.
The live stream of the Thousand Family Banquet, especially Xi Mei's mukbang, caused online traffic to double. The county's publicity officer even contacted online retailers overnight to urgently put the beef jerky products on the shelves for sale. The leaders made a special trip to express their gratitude to them.
Yan Jie was still waiting for Director Chen to finish his social engagements, while Jiang Hexi's mukbang (eating broadcast) had to stop.
She finished her snowflake steak, her sweet and sour pork, and her braised bamboo shoots, but he still hadn't borrowed the light fixtures back.
"Assistant Yan is gone and will never return. The host has run out of food. Today's food broadcast is over. See you later."
Jiang Hexi frantically winked at the cameraman, who, seeing that Director Chen didn't object and that she really couldn't continue, kindly turned off the live stream camera.
This snowflake steak left me with a bad memory.
She wouldn't dare eat Yan Wang's food again after that.
As Jiang Hexi packed up her lunchbox and walked across the open-air square, the older women were washing their kitchen utensils, while the other guests sat on the steps. Upon seeing her, all five of them looked up at her.
Every glance directed at her was malicious.
Yu Xiangwan was the first to ask, "Xi-mei, how was the snowflake steak that Yan Wang fried for you?"
Jiang Hexi knew that even if she could escape the gossip online, she couldn't escape their deadly barrage of attacks.
