The filming location selected by the program team of "Anywhere With You" is Jiuxi City, the second largest city in country Y. Jiuxi City is a beautiful coastal city with developed economy, tourism, culture, etc., with high population density and activities. Also many.
The guests' first day's board and lodging will be provided by the program team and will be arranged in the most famous five-star hotel in Jiuxi City. The hotel is built by the sea and has a long private beach with first-class scenery.
However, anyone who has watched the previous seasons knows that this is almost the only enjoyment of the guests in the entire itinerary. From the second day onwards, all the expenses of the guests must be paid by themselves, and the initial funds provided by the program team are very limited. In order to complete the mission and get the final victory, the guests have to find a way to make money.
But far away in a foreign country, the star halo no longer exists, and there are language barriers, it is not so easy to make money.
But it is precisely because of this that this link has always been loved by the audience. Seeing these bright and bright stars on weekdays rushing around for a living like ordinary people, it seems that the distance between themselves and the stars has been shortened all of a sudden.
This is also the part where celebrity guests are most likely to gain a good impression. As long as they behave in a down-to-earth manner, the basic reputation will not be too bad. In the previous seasons, some celebrities have become popular because of their closeness to the people and diligence in this part.
The show crew arrived at the hotel. After eating, they went back to their rooms to rest and adjust the time difference. In the evening, the six guests went to the cafeteria to eat together, and then gathered around to discuss how to choose the next job.
Considering that the guests are unfamiliar in foreign countries, the program team arranged several simple jobs in advance. The guests can choose to find ways to make money by themselves, or they can directly choose the jobs provided by the program team.
However, after a few seasons, most of the guests will choose the jobs provided by the show team. The reason is very simple. The stars usually focus on performing arts work, and there are few other skills to make a living. It is almost impossible to find a job abroad by yourself within the time limit, not to mention the language barrier in front of you.
In the past, some guests have tried to be street performers, but the income is very unstable. If you are unlucky, you may not be able to earn one night's accommodation all day long. Relatively speaking, although the work provided by the program team is hard, at least the income is good. Basic guarantee.
This time, the program team provided three different jobs in the local scenic spot. The first one is to explain in Chinese in the scenic spot and specially receive Chinese tourists. The second one is to sell tourist souvenirs in the scenic spot. The third one is to sell tourist souvenirs in the scenic spot. Be a waiter.
The salary calculation methods of these three kinds of work are also different. The salary of Chinese explanation is the highest, one hundred dollars a day, but it is fixed. The salary of souvenir sales and waiters is only half of the explanation, but the sales can be commissioned, and the waiters have guests. Tips are available.
At the same time, the jobs selected by each group of guests cannot overlap, which requires the guests to analyze and judge the work, and also compete for jobs.
After listening to the introduction of the program group, several guests had a heated discussion. As a result, there is no doubt that everyone wants to be a Chinese interpreter. Compared with the other two jobs, there is no language barrier in Chinese interpreting, and the income is high and the risk is low. Obviously, it is necessary to Take it easy.
Meng Xixi was the most lively, and immediately put her hands together and winked at the others: "Seniors, as the saying goes, do as the locals do. The most important lady in Y country is the priority, please let us choose first!"
"That won't work." Jiang Wei immediately retorted with reason, "We are Chinese people, Chinese people pay attention to respecting the old and loving the young, so the older ones should be selected first!"
Chen Xiaoxuan refused to accept: "What did Aiyou say?"
Zhu Chuanjia complained: "The problem is that you are not too young..."
Chen Xiaoxuan puffed up her face: "That senior isn't old enough!"
The two groups of people did not give in to each other, and the fight was in full swing. The effect was full. Fang Huiwang couldn't let the camera take them all, but Xie Ran didn't say a word from beginning to end, just sat in silence and drank coffee without asking at all. Join the discussion.
Fang Huiwang had to take the initiative to cue him, leaned over and smiled and said, "Xiao Ran, which job do you think is better?"
In fact, he also wanted to get the opportunity to explain in Chinese, but it is not easy to decide without authorization in front of the camera, so he has to discuss with his partner first.
Xie Ran was still cooperative at work. Hearing that, he put down the coffee in his hand, paused for a while, as if thinking, and then said, "If it is sorted by income, the sales of souvenirs will be the first, and the Chinese explanation is similar to that of the waiter."
Xie Ran rarely opened his mouth, and everyone else looked over at the sound, but they obviously disagreed with his answer. They also analyzed the work of souvenir sales just now. Although there is a commission, the basic salary is low and the language requirements are relatively high. The risk is too great, not as good as the waiter.
Fang Huiwang didn't agree either, but he continued to ask, "Why do you think so?"
"It's not thinking, it's data." Xie Ran glanced at him, and then reported several data, namely the average daily passenger flow in the scenic spot in winter, the number of restaurants and restaurant waiters, the flow of water in the souvenir shop and the number of salespersons, etc. " …According to the table turnover rate and the tipping habits of the old west city, the daily tip received by the restaurant waiter in the scenic spot in this season is about US$45 to US$60, plus the basic salary and the Chinese explanation are similar.
Similarly, according to the sales and commission ratio of the souvenir shop, the salesperson's daily commission is about $50 to $60. Under normal circumstances, the income of these three jobs is basically the same. "
His tone was slow and slow, and he reported the relevant numbers one by one, each of which was accurate to the single digit, which made the other guests bewildered.
Chen Xiaoxuan was stunned at the time: "Brother Ran, how do you know this?"
Of course, Meng Feixuan just reported it.
Xie Ran: "It is in the financial report of the scenic spot."
This scenic spot is a listed company, and its financial report is also public. It is indeed possible to view it directly on the Internet.
The question is, who would want to watch this when recording a variety show! And now everyone does not have a mobile phone, which has to be prepared in advance.
Xie Ran is also working too hard, right? ? !
For a while, not only the guests, but the entire program group was speechless, because the result of Xie Ran's inference just now was completely correct. The three jobs they provided were actually carefully designed, and the final income was similar, so as to avoid the gap between the guests' expenses. The sub is pulled too large.
The difference is that they obtained the data directly from the scenic spot, while Xie Ran analyzed it by himself, relying on the financial report disclosed on the Internet...
Program group: I feel that my IQ is being rubbed on the ground.jpg
Or Fang Huiwang came back to his senses first, and asked again, "Since it's basically the same, why did you just say that souvenir sales have the highest revenue?"
"Because of the variable of the filming program." Xie Ran is still Shi Shiran's appearance, "The number of passengers and tips are fixed, but when there is a program filming, souvenir sales will be easier to reach a deal. For Huaxia’s guests, the transaction volume may increase.”
Everyone was surprised, but the other two groups of guests were still suspicious. First, they couldn't believe that Xie Ran would really check the financial report of the scenic spot in advance. Second, they are now in a competitive relationship. Who knows if Xie Ran deliberately confuses the public? .
Jiang Wei is an old man after all, so he immediately raised his eyebrows and asked, "So, Xiao Ran wants to choose souvenirs to sell?"
Xie Ran put one hand on the armrest of the sofa and gently supported her chin: "No."
When the others heard the words, they gave a meaningful "oh", and said "that's true" on their faces.
Fang Huiwang was also speechless: "Which one do you want to choose, Xiaoran?"
"None." Xie Ran said lightly, "I use other channels."
As soon as he said this, the others were stunned again. According to the rules, the guests can really find a way to make money, but the guests in the previous seasons have verified how difficult it is, so they did not consider this from the beginning to the end. choose.
Can Xie Ran have any good ideas? Everyone couldn't help but be curious.
Fang Huiwang was also surprised: "What can you do?"
Xie Ran raised his eyes and said concisely, "The stock market."
The people who were looking at him expectantly: "..."
Are you kidding everyone
Let's not talk about how unreliable it is to speculate in stocks at this time. With their little money, and now they don't even have a mobile phone, what about stocks that speculate in a ball
Fang Huiwang's mouth twitched uncontrollably: "Xiao Ran, seriously, stop making trouble."
"This is serious." Xie Ran said and looked at the time. When he saw that it was almost time, he raised his hand and called the waiter at the hotel, asking him to call the hotel manager.
The hotel manager quickly appeared: "Who is looking for me?"
"Me." Xie Ran stood up and began to communicate with him in English.
Only then did everyone discover that Xie Ran's English was actually very fluent, and there was no obstacle in communicating with the manager.
Everyone else's English is average in the entertainment industry, and can only cope with simple daily communication, but Xie Ran not only speaks fast, but also contains a lot of professional vocabulary, which makes them all confused, so they can only go to see the part-time translator. 's leader.
The team leader was more surprised by Xie Ran's English level than the others, because she could hear that Xie Ran was not only fluent in expression, but also had a very standard pronunciation, and could not hear her accent at all, and her level was much higher than hers.
But she quickly came back to her senses and whispered to everyone: "Brother Ran is asking the hotel manager to help him buy stocks..."
Their mobile phones were taken away and they couldn't buy stocks by themselves, but obviously Xie Ran had already thought of a way.
Fang Huiwang didn't expect that Xie Ran was telling the truth, so he became anxious on the spot and pulled Xie Ran: "No, Xiao Ran, stock speculation is too much fun, I object."
"I didn't count you." Xie Ran interrupted him and stretched out a hand, "Give me my funds."
Fang looked back for a moment, a little unbelievable: "Are you going to act separately from me?"
"Yes." Xie Ran glanced at the team leader inquiringly, "I remember that there is no rule that the same group must act together?"
The team leader choked: "Is it not..."
The problem is that this show focuses on friends traveling together. Under normal circumstances, the same group will not be separated.
What's more, Xie Ran is still unilaterally dismantling the partner.
The other two groups of guests who were originally confused by Xie Ran's sudden divine manipulation suddenly woke up and looked at their partners.
That's right, that's the look!
Curious, excited, but held back.
At this moment, everyone is a melon eater.
The program crew felt suffocated, but faintly excited again.
The material is here!
Fang Hui looked pale for a while, unable to say a word.
He never thought that Xie Ran would plan like this, and he was so straightforward.
In the earphone, Meng Feixuan asked very studiously: "Sir, Fang Huiwang's current appearance is the legendary embarrassment, right?"
Xie Ran: "Do you know what he looks like?"
Meng Feixuan: "I invaded the surveillance here."
Xie Ran: "..."
The author has something to say: The location is empty!
Xiaoran: You only have a headset now, how do you see him
Mark (righteously): Where there is surveillance, there are my eyes!
