"It's a good thing that Xiaomu came to us, otherwise we wouldn't be able to live such a good life. The village used to be miserable. We planted trees and ate sand, and the land in the village was also flooded by sand..."
"It's so easy to grow these trees now. If you don't believe me, I can teach you. You can try to plant one yourself. These are all saplings from Xiaomu's forest farm. Basically, one species can survive..."
"We used to move trees with bare hands, or donkeys, donkeys are reluctant to use them, and livestock are very expensive. Now that Xiaomu has sold us a tractor, it's different..."
Although the cultural level of the people in the village is not high, they are very good at talking. They know who brought them a good life now, so facing the camera and Liu Manqing's questions, they say good things as if they don't need money Come out, blah blah blah.
If you give fifty cents, it can make Chen Mu go bankrupt.
Chen Mu himself was a little embarrassed, and it felt awkward to be praised in person.
He turned his head and glanced at the old man Jamal who was sitting not far away smoking opium, ran over secretly and asked, "Uncle Jamal, this is not what you arranged in advance, right? Is this the case?" It’s not good, it feels a little too much, it looks so fake.”
"You kid is talking nonsense, why did I arrange it in advance?"
The old man Jamal stared, showing displeasure: "I'm a member of the gcd, why would I do such a deceitful thing?"
In this desert, among the village chiefs of so many villages, this old Jamal is the gcd.
You must know that the Uighurs have believed in Hu Da since childhood, and it is not an easy task for him to let go of his beliefs and believe in gcd.
Therefore, even Uighurs who performed very well like the old Uighurs did not join the gcd, but the old man Jamal joined the gcd when he was young because of his recognition of the gcd, and until today... he has become the only one in this desert A gcd member.
Chen Mu originally slandered in his heart, "Many gcd members...", but considering that this remark cannot be broadcast, he stopped slandering.
The old man Jamal said: "Everyone knows what life we lived in Bazaar before, and what life we live now.
Of course I wouldn’t say such things to you when I’m alone, because everyone in the village regards you as their own. What’s the point of saying these things? You Xia people don’t say thank you, we all understand .
But now you are filming TV, in front of so many outsiders, of course I have to help you say good things.
This is all their own idea and has nothing to do with me. "
"That's too exaggerated."
Chen Mu watched another villager face Liu Manqing and the host's question and praise him in front of the camera, he felt a little guilty and felt very embarrassed.
The old man Jamal took two puffs of big cigarettes, and said, "Then tell me, are the people in the village telling the truth?"
"..."
Chen Mu was speechless.
Of course it's true, that's for sure.
But when they said it in front of the camera, he was embarrassed and sure.
The old man Jamal said again: "Since it is the truth, there is nothing you can't say. What are you worried about?"
It made sense, but Chen Mu was speechless.
After thinking about it, things are already like this, so why worry about it, just let nature take its course.
Therefore, Chen Mu stopped tossing around, and silently stood back to the side of the program shooting scene, waiting for Liu Wanjun to announce his entry.
He didn't know that although he was not in front of the camera, the microphone on his chest was always turned on, adjusted to another channel, and connected to another audio collector, so the conversation between him and the old man Jamal has been fully recorded.
On the other side, the host and Liu Manqing took turns talking to the villagers.
In the beginning, it was just Liu Manqing's impromptu behavior.
Gradually, the host found that this was quite interesting, so in order to cooperate with Liu Manqing, he also joined in.
After listening to what the villagers said for a while, the two felt a little puzzled in their hearts.
The villagers in Baza village kept praising Chen Mu, which really made them feel that it was a bit fake, as if they had made a draft in advance and cooperated together.
Because of this doubt, the two of them tried different ways to ask about things in the village, and also tried different ways to "debunk" the villagers' "prepared" rhetoric.
But what they didn't expect was that no matter how they asked, no matter who they asked, the words from the villagers' mouths could be self-consistent, logical, and echoed back and forth...without any flaws.
After the two asked for a while, there was really nothing to smell, so they could only stop this "boring" writing.
After coming down from the camera, the host and Liu Manqing looked at each other, and the doubts in their hearts were not answered at all, but became even more disturbing.
They really wanted to know whether the behavior of the villagers was spontaneous or planned in advance.
If it was arranged in advance, it must have taken a lot of thought, otherwise it would be impossible for so many people to say the same thing, and for the two of them to not be able to ask even the slightest question.
If it's spontaneous, it's shocking.
It shows that Chen Mu really did a lot of good things in this desert, which made his "prestige" extremely high and "popular".
For media workers, they have seen far more people and things than ordinary people. Of course, they have met some people who have made great contributions to the people in their hometown or where they work, and have won the heartfelt support and warm support of the local people. .
But such people are generally older, because of the "prestige" accumulated over the years of work.
They have never seen such a young person like Chen Mu get the support of so many local people.
Moreover, they all read Chen Mu's background information and knew that he was a college dropout who came to such a place because of the unexpected death of his parents.
Then I engaged in the seedling raising business here, and gradually started the business.
Of course, they also learned from the background information that Chen Mu has launched the so-called farmers' cooperative tree planting project in Wangxi Province and Jiangqi Province, and supports farmers to plant trees free of charge.
This project has been very successful, especially in the Beichaokou area of Wangxi Province. It has become a project highly praised by the state in special documents.
All kinds of official media newspapers and magazines have published articles introducing and praising it. In short, it has a great momentum and is very successful.
But these things, everyone in the program group and Liu Manqing learned about them on paper, and didn't experience them personally.
So they were a little surprised to hear so many people "flattering" Chen Mu, and they couldn't accept it.
It is precisely because of this that they have doubts in their hearts and always want to find fault.
At night, everyone lived in Baza Village.
Now there are ten B&Bs built near the Bazaar Village. Although they are not too many, and there is no way for everyone in the program group to live there, but a few main creators can live in them, and the environment is very good.
As for the rest of the program group, they live in the homes of the villagers, and they are treated as guests of the farmhouse.
Of course, Chen Mu didn’t know how to live in a B&B. He was pulled home immediately by the old man Jamal, who made him mutton soup and invited him to eat mutton pilaf.
In the evening, in the homestay.
The producer and director are sitting in front of the computer, reviewing all the material shot today.
This is their workflow. Every day, they have to play back everything, check for deficiencies and make up for omissions, and do post-match reviews.
Check out what was missed, and make up for it the next day.
See where the shots are not good, and pay attention to them in the future.
Another thing is to see where there are well-photographed and interesting places that can be grasped and dig deep.
All in all, it's a job they do every day.
While watching the video, they also listen to all the audio material.
They store the audio collected by different microphones in different channels, which can be combined or split at any time.
Just in time, when they heard the conversation where Chen Mu ran over to question the old man Jamal, both of them couldn't help smiling.
Looking at each other, each of them saw the heart in each other's eyes.
At this moment, the two elders felt like they had a good understanding, especially basic.
"This paragraph must be included, it must be very interesting."
Liu Wanjun spoke immediately.
He is the producer. Although he is in charge of the whole team, he still has to respect the director's opinion on some things about the filming of the program.
The director nodded: "We can use some subtitles or special effects to emphasize the doubts of the host and Teacher Liu, and then insert this paragraph, because it will be particularly convincing and interesting."
In an instant, the two reached an agreement to "write down" this passage, and when they were going to edit it later, they had to focus on it and see how they could bring out the interesting points of this matter.
While the two of them were doing it, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Liu Wanjun went to open the door and found the host and Liu Manqing in front of the door.
"Why are you here?"
Liu Wanjun was taken aback for a moment, and opened his mouth to ask.
The hostess said: "Mr. Liu and I filmed today, and I was a little confused. I wanted to come and ask you to find out."
Two photogenic show creators approach producers and directors...
This scene makes people can't help but immediately think of the words "hidden rules".
But Liu Wanjun didn't dare to think in that direction at all, not to mention Liu Manqing's popularity, even this hostess is quite a talent, known for her intelligence and sharp words, she can't afford to hide the rules.
Liu Wanjun hurriedly invited the hostess and Liu Manqing into the room, and the director in the room also stood up and greeted each other.
After they had been busy serving tea and pouring water for a while, the four of them sat down.
Liu Wanjun asked: "I don't know what doubts you two have, you can talk to us."
The hostess talked about the conversations with those villagers today and the doubts in her and Liu Manqing's hearts, and then asked: "These villagers' speeches...couldn't have been arranged in advance?"
Liu Wanjun and the director couldn't help but smile at each other when they heard the words, and then they said: "It turns out that this is where you two are confused. It just so happens that when we reviewed the shooting materials today, we found something. You two can come and listen to it." listen."
"oh?"
The hostess was curious: "What is it?"
Liu Wanjun didn't answer, and gave the director a wink, and then the director with the lowest status in the room walked over and played the audio that he accidentally discovered before.
…
After a while, the audio finishes playing.
Things are clear and clear.
After the hostess digested it for a while, she was both amused and relieved, and said, "I never thought that Chen Mu would be so popular here at such a young age. It's really...unexpected."
In addition to unexpected, or unexpected, the hostess is a little short of words.
She has interviewed many people, heard and seen many things.
She knew that the people in the northwest were complicated, and how difficult it was to gain the support of these common people who had lived in the desert all year round.
You must know that the semi-isolated geographical environment leads them to have a semi-closed lifestyle, and many of their thinking are the most difficult to reverse. Let alone getting their support, even if you want to get close to them, it is very difficult.
But Chen Mu was able to do this in just a few years. Just looking at the state of the old man Jamal talking in the audio, he knew that the people in Baza Village really regarded Chen Mu as their own. If you think about it carefully Up, it's kind of incredible, it's really going to be amazing.
Liu Manqing didn't speak, she was always a listener with a cold personality.
Only in front of the camera can she become different and play different roles, which is inseparable from her habit of listening.
Although she remained calm, she was also surprised in her heart.
She has been working as a teaching supporter in the Northwest for the past two years. She has come into contact with many people and things in the Northwest, and she has to understand a lot of people's sentiments.
Because she is devoted to public welfare and charity, she usually gains a lot of respect and friendliness in the local area.
But even so, she never felt that the local people would regard her as her own family, and the gap between people still existed, not because of her cold temper, nor because of the rejection of the local people, but because It's because they originally belonged to two worlds, as if they would never be able to merge.
It was precisely because of this that she had doubts about the villagers' speeches and could not believe them.
But now, she saw something different.
Chen Mu has fully integrated into this place, as if he belongs here, and there is no barrier between him and the local people.
When Liu Manqing was thinking about it, the hostess said again: "This is quite an interesting point, I think we can do more in the future."
After all, she has many years of experience in programming, and the hostess immediately discovered the value of this audio.
Liu Wanjun nodded: "We are also discussing this matter. Although we haven't figured out how to do it yet, our ideas are completely consistent."
The hostess asked: "There is only audio, but no video?"
"No!"
Liu Wanjun was a little regretful, but then he said: "But this matter is easy to solve. When we shoot tomorrow, we will pay attention to whether Chen Mu will walk with the old man Jamal, and just take a few sneak shots to make up for it... Well, Otherwise, just let them stand together and let me take a few shots, anyway, it’s enough to edit and match the audio in post-production, it’s very simple.”
