Chapter 857 [Extra: Family Variety Show]
[The timeline is not related to the main text]
When Xiao Youzi was 8 years old, he became a household name overnight because of an advertisement that unexpectedly went viral.
"Xiao Ye, remember to bring this contract home and show it to your mother." Fuxing Media's ace agent smiled positively.
Xiaoyouzi, whose real name is Quan Ye, debuted as Feng Zhiye.
Xiao Youzi glanced at the family variety show contract in her hand and knew what was going on:
"I advise you not to hold out hope."
Not only was Chen Liang not affected, but he became more courageous as the battle went on.
"It's okay. I've been rejected dozens of times, so this time is no big deal."
After meeting Quanjiu's agent and scout, no one would be willing to let go of this potential stock, but the other party was not interested in the entertainment industry, so he could only save the country in a roundabout way.
…
"Family variety show?"
Quan Jiu leaned lazily in Feng Zui's arms, glanced at the contract title, and when she saw that the recording time was from April 4th to April 7th, she raised her eyebrows slightly.
Ten-year-old Xiao Youzi sat on the sofa, his back straight and his demeanor dignified. He thought his mother was going to refuse him again as usual, so he spoke first: "I'll tell him no."
Quan Jiu quietly pinched Feng Zui's waist. After receiving his wife's gaze, the man who had been silent raised his eyes and said.
"Your mom and I are going to S City for vacation."
Little Youzi opened her almond-shaped eyes slightly, revealing a look of surprise.
Quan Jiu couldn't help but curl his lips and turned over lazily in Feng Zui's arms: "It just so happens that our family of three hasn't gone on vacation for a long time."
She didn't have any feelings about recording variety shows, but her son was a workaholic and was so busy that he even forgot his own birthday.
…
The signing process took off very quickly. Chen Liang was afraid that Quan Jiu would go back on his word, so he finalized all matters on the third day.
The night before the recording, the family of three checked into the seaside Jingtian Hotel arranged by the program crew.
"Ms. Quan, the recording will start at 7:00 tomorrow morning."
The director looked at the family of three with outstanding temperament, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
There were four groups of families recording the variety show this time, and only the parents of Xiaoyouzi's family were complete amateurs. When Chen Liang packed them up and stuffed them in his hands, he was actually not very happy.
Being an amateur means having no traffic, no topics, and no ratings.
If Xiao Youzi wasn't so popular, he wouldn't have agreed to cooperate with Chen Liang. But now it seems his worries are completely unnecessary. Judging from their looks alone, this family of three can be called the "Nuwa graduation project group."
"You are family number 4, and this is your photographer, Xiao Yang."
Xiao Yang met the gazes of the family of three. Being used to taking pictures of celebrities, he inexplicably felt a little nervous. He straightened his back unconsciously and spoke seriously.
"Hello."
It's not that he is too timid, but the aura of this family of three is too strong, especially the parents. The pressure from their superiors is stronger than that of many big leaders he has seen.
Quan Jiu curled his lips slightly and said with a polite smile:
"I'll be sorry to bother you for the next few days."
………
The variety show is broadcast live, and the first part is for parents to wake up their children at five o'clock in the morning to get them dressed and wash up.
The director first focused on the storyboard of Family No. 1, not for any other reason, but because Family No. 1 had the biggest status.
Zou Shuyang, the father of Family No. 1, is an old movie star who became famous at a young age. He is considered a veteran in the entertainment industry. Later, he married the first-line female star Zhou Zhou. Zhou Zhou has starred in many fairy tales and ancient idol dramas, several of which are S+ big productions, dominating the winter and summer vacation time slots.
It is no exaggeration to say that half of the audience of this show came for this couple.
Family No. 2 is a pair of sister-brother love, movie star He Yun and her internet celebrity singer husband Lin Haifeng.
Family No. 3 is from Jingang. The couple were singers and actors when they were young. Later, when they got older, they semi-retired and occasionally appeared in a few variety shows. They are also the oldest couple in this show.
The director looked at the little boy Zou Tong from Family No. 1 who was crying and making a fuss and refused to get up, and showed a satisfied look on his face.
"Good, that's what's interesting."
The temperature in S City was still very low, less than ten degrees in the early morning. Zou Tong knew he had to leave the warm bed and get up, so he cried and made a fuss, making Zou Shuyang and Zhou Zhou frown.
Zhou Zhou squatted beside the bed, holding his coat, and patiently coaxed him:
"Tongtong, have you forgotten what you promised your mother when you came here?"
The child was very curious. Knowing that he was going on a long journey, he happily made a pinky promise with his mother, promising to be good and obedient.
Zou Tong knew he was in the wrong, but he really didn't want to get up, so he tried to get away with it by throwing a tantrum and making a fuss like he used to at home.
"Mom, I'll sleep for ten more minutes, ten more minutes, and then I'll get up in ten minutes..."
After saying that, she covered her face with the quilt, turned around and faced the couple with her butt.
Zhou Zhou choked and called out a few more times, but when she found that the child ignored her, she could only sigh helplessly.
"Then sleep for another ten minutes."
There's still time anyway.
Zou Shuyang smiled and shook his head: "It's all your fault."
Zhou Zhou glared at him and said, "If you can do it, go ahead."
Zou Shuyang thought about his little bully's crying voice that was comparable to that of a biological weapon, and decisively went into the bathroom with a towel.
…
The child of Family No. 2 is a 6-year-old girl. She was forced to get up early and directly nestled in her mother's arms, crying loudly and clamoring to go home.
Lin Haifeng held his little baby in one hand, sang a lullaby softly, and it took him a long time to coax her into submission.
The audience listened to the man's gentle and low voice, and rows of them all cried with envy.
[Does Dad still need a daughter? ! ! ]
[With such vocal quality, she deserves to be number one on last year's Fengyun Songs chart!]
【I have no resistance to gentle men】
Family No. 3 also has a girl named Feng Najia, who is 7 years old. She is the only child who has not cried so far.
[Nana's sleeping face is so cute! The moment she opened her eyes, I melted!]
My ears are finally clear.
[Naga is nestled in her mother's arms, her chin nodding off a bit as she looks sleepy. She looks so adorable!!!]
Jin Rong patted her daughter's head and said, "Be good, Mommy will put on some makeup and let Daddy take you to wash up."
Little Naga nodded obediently and stretched out his hand to his father.
"Dad, hug me~"
………
The chief director visited three families in one go and was very satisfied. However, he caught a glimpse of the frowning assistant director out of the corner of his eye and asked in confusion.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem with the filming of Family 4?"
The assistant director hesitated, "...not really a problem."
It's just quite weird.
Seeing that he was hesitant, the director simply switched the main screen to Family No. 4.
In the living room of No. 4, Xiao Youzi and Feng Zui, father and son, were wearing white shirts and sitting at the dining table by the floor-to-ceiling window, eating sandwiches face to face.
Xiao Youzi was wearing gentleman's denim overalls and a red bow tie around his neck. He sat upright and ate elegantly.
Feng Zui was wearing a simple suit and shirt, sipping coffee slowly, and his every move was full of nobility engraved in his bones.
Looking at the two people, one big and one small, who looked like replicas of each other, the director couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is the blue sea and blue sky, with flocks of white seagulls flying over the sea. Combined with the good looks of the father and son, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are filming a music video.
Chief Director: "This father and son are so good-looking..."
The director, who was so obsessed with the appearance, took a full two minutes to realize something was wrong.
"No, Xiaoyouzi is up, so who is sleeping in the room?"
The assistant director looked miserable: "There are only three of us, who else could it be..."
The director was stunned and speechless for two seconds before he reorganized his words and said politely:
"Adults still staying in bed?"
The assistant director shook his head. "It was 4:50 in the morning. I was going to knock on the master bedroom door as planned, and then have Ms. Quan and Mr. Feng knock on the children's room door. But before I could even knock, both the master bedroom and children's room doors were opened..."
Both father and son were dressed neatly, glanced at the camera, and reached a common goal.
Little Pomelo looked at the production team politely, her distinct black and white pupils moist:
"My mother is still sleeping. Brothers and sisters, please don't disturb her and let her sleep a little longer. There is breakfast and snacks that my father and I ordered yesterday in the living room. You can rest for a while."
The starving crew No. 4 originally wanted to refuse, but when they caught a glimpse of a neatly packaged breakfast in the living room with the logo of a high-end five-star restaurant printed on it, they decided to accept it.
"……good."
………
The gathering time was six o'clock, but Quan Jiu slept until half past five before getting up.
Xiao Yang, who was following the filming, had eaten and drunk his fill and was happily playing games when he saw the bedroom door open. He immediately raised his camera.
Quan Jiu was just accompanying Xiao Youzi to record the show. In order not to steal the show's spotlight, the clothes she brought this time were all extremely simple and casual. She went out wearing a white T-shirt and tight jeans. Facing the three cameras in the living room, she was calm and composed, without any of the uneasiness of an amateur on the show. She even waved at the camera.
"Good morning, everyone."
When little Youzi saw her mom, her eyes lit up: "Good morning, Mommy."
Then pick up the eggs on the table and peel them.
[Holy crap! Holy crap! When did the entertainment industry have such a beautiful face?! !]
[I just wanted to see what kind of parents could give birth to our beautiful little Yuzi. Now that I'm done, I suddenly feel like, emmm, Yuzi is the ugliest of the three of them? ...]
[I was laughed to death by the mom fans above. Motherly love can indeed deteriorate.]
[Don't talk nonsense! My little grapefruit just hasn't grown yet! ]
So what were directors doing before?! They left such a stunning beauty out of their reach, choosing to cast a bunch of ordinary women to challenge our eyes?
[I woke up sweetly from my sleepy nap early in the morning. Yuzu is still so gentlemanly. Speaking of which, Group 4 is the only family that considers the staff's meals. I have to say, their parents are really good. I feel like their parents can't be that bad...]
Am I the only one who noticed the Going restaurant sign? From what I've heard, this restaurant is incredibly awesome. They don't deliver, and even dine-in requires reservations a week in advance. And now there's suddenly a bunch of takeout boxes. I'm kind of confused...
[The above person misunderstood. It should just be a restaurant with the same name. Going is a very common name.]
While people were discussing this online, Quan Jiu had already accepted the eggs peeled by Xiao Youzi and the black coffee handed to him by Feng Zui.
Quan Jiu stretched lazily, enjoying the feeding from the father and son with peace of mind, and asked:
"Are you done eating? Why didn't you wake me up?"
The assistant director nodded with a look of deep sorrow behind the screen.
The toothpaste she uses for washing her face was squeezed by Xiaoyouzi in advance and placed on the sink. Wouldn’t her conscience as a mother hurt?
Little Youzi knows that his mother is in a bad mood when she wakes up, but as a caring little boy, he naturally won't spoil her mood.
"Dad said girls need their beauty sleep, so I want Mom to sleep in a little longer."
Feng Zui held up the financial newspaper and glanced at the flatterer calmly:
"Have you packed your things?"
Little Pomelo frowned: "A little more."
"Go clean it up."
"oh."
Xiao Youzi nodded and kissed Quan Jiu on the forehead before leaving.
Quan Jiu ate a blueberry and found it tasted good, so he handed one to Feng Zui.
Seeing that the couple had no intention of taking care of the child, Xiao Yang, who was filming with them, was confused:
"Don't you need to help little Yuzi clean up?"
In other families, it is the parents who pack up.
Quan Jiu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Well, how should I put it, my little Youzi is quite independent."
In the next ten minutes, the director team finally saw what "relatively independent" meant.
Sunscreen spray, sun hat, sun umbrella, sunglasses, water cup, band-aid, Huoxiang Zhengqi liquid, tissues, power bank, charging cable, banknotes and change...
Xiao Youzi brought almost everything that could be used at the beach, and even thoughtfully divided three pockets for the three of them.
"Mom's is a pink bag, Dad's is black, and mine is sky blue..."
The pink bag is larger than the other two bags combined.
Xiao Yang gasped as he looked at the storage bags that were neatly arranged in order of size and height.
When he packed his own luggage he just stuffed it into the suitcase randomly, and he wasn't as meticulous as Xiaoyouzi.
He's not even as good as a child!
After putting the three bags into a large black backpack, Xiao Youzi carried the bag and put it on the sofa in the living room. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Quan Jiu's empty coffee cup and took it to the kitchen to wash it.
Director team: “…”
This child must be here to repay a favor.
………
"Since we're at the seaside, the theme of our program is naturally related to the ocean. Everyone needs to collect marine animals such as starfish, conchs, crabs, etc. by following the atlas of marine animals. Each animal you find will earn you points. The rarer the animal, the higher the points. You can then exchange these points for daily necessities."
After the director team announced the rules, Zou Tong opened the album with great interest. The first two and three pages were fine, with all the regular animals that everyone knew. But on the fourth page, all kinds of strange and varied marine animals began to appear.
"Why are there no animal names under the pictures?" Zhou Zhou, who was looking through the pictures with his son, discovered the problem.
The director narrowed his eyes in a smile. "That's right. None of the animals have names on them. You'll need to identify them on your own. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention that you'll need to correctly name the animals in order to get full points. If you only provide the actual animals without names, you'll only receive 50% of the points."
"I was wondering why the director team didn't do anything, but it turns out they were waiting here."
Zou Shuyang smiled and shook his head. The middle-aged man was more mature and steady than the young boy. He curled his lips in a smile, and the barrage of comments was filled with another burst of "Ahhhhhh" cries.
Little Youzi looked up at the scorching sun. The temperature today was at least 30 degrees. His mother was delicate and tender, so she was definitely not suitable for diving and fishing. After thinking for a moment, he rummaged through his backpack.
