Serve as Contrast Team in a ‘Dad with Baby’ Show

Chapter 6: Extract family background

Views:

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene changed suddenly.

"The production team never mentioned this kind of problem before." Chen Yu's face darkened and he gritted his teeth.

Typically, such interviews avoid sensitive issues.

Why did the director ask such a sharp question during the recording? What was he trying to do? To expose the artist's shortcomings, or to tear off the last fig leaf of the outdated artist

Not only Chen Yu, but even Lin Cheng frowned slightly.

The director himself also felt a lot of pressure at this time.

If possible, she doesn't want to cause trouble.

However, the script for the interview was provided by the program team, and it was clearly marked that this question must be asked.

She could probably guess the purpose of the program team: the program needed some controversial topics to attract attention. Undoubtedly, Lin Cheng and his daughter, who had no background and no fan base, were the best choice.

No matter how Lin Momo answers in this recording, it will eventually be specially edited by the program crew to create public attention.

She even thought of the possible headlines that might appear later: #Ex-stars can’t get any work and can only stay at home to take care of their children? #, #He was once a first-tier singer, but now he is reduced to an eighteen-tier singer, and even his own daughter despises him#, #The sadness of an ex-star: He dare not tell his children that he was once a star#, #An ex-male artist did this without telling his children#…

Faced with this obviously "out-of-scope" question, Lin Momo's mind went blank.

This question is not in the 'question bank', and I can't even find anything similar.

She doesn’t know if Lin Cheng is good or not…

Lin Momo shook her head subconsciously.

"Don't you know?" asked the director.

Lin Momo shook her head again.

"Don't you think your father is a bad person?" Seeing Lin Momo shaking her head, the director guessed what she meant.

"No..." Lin Momo whispered.

Wang Xi and others have said before that during an interview, if you encounter a question you don't know how to answer, you can't just say "I don't know" dryly, but you have to find a way to express your true feelings.

After thinking for a while, Lin Momo applied this question to herself and said slowly: "Our family may not be as good as other families, but we are also living very hard."

At this point, Lin Momo thought of her grandmother Liu Cuifang, and said seriously, "She's not bad, she just can't do anything."

Outside the bedroom, Chen Yu's face tightened when he heard Lin Momo start to answer the director's questions.

"We can't let her continue talking."

This was clearly a trap set up deliberately by the program crew, but Lin Momo jumped into it anyway.

After saying that, Chen Yu wanted to step forward and interrupt the filming.

However, before Chen Yu could rush over, he was stopped by Lin Cheng.

"Brother Cheng?"

"Let her speak." Lin Cheng said.

"But will this have a bad impact?" According to Lin Momo's statement, isn't it a disguised admission that Lin Cheng has no ability and cannot make money

Lin Cheng didn't say anything else, but his face showed an indifferent expression.

Lin Momo didn't notice the movement here, she lowered her eyes and continued: "Maybe she is not good enough in the eyes of others, but what she gave me is the best she can give..."

"She would save her money every month to send me to school. She would secretly sell her things to save money to buy me a new school uniform, fearing that I would be laughed at by my classmates. She would queue up in a very long line during shopping mall events to get me a new desk lamp and a new alarm clock..."

"She taught me to be polite, clean, and... "

The "she" mentioned by Lin Momo was naturally understood by the directors as "he".

They had thought that when faced with this question, Lin Momo's answer might be "I don't know", "My father is very good", or even she might refuse to answer the question, but they never expected that Lin Momo's answer would be like this.

Outside the camera, the director and the assistant director looked at each other and saw the same shock in each other's eyes.

—Are out-of-date celebrities so miserable? Do they have to save money to pay for their children's tuition? Do they have to queue up at the supermarket to get a free desk lamp? !

Why do I feel like I’m living a worse life than ordinary people like them

Originally, after this question, the program team also prepared a second question: Would you like your father not to be a star

However, facing the sincere girl in front of him, the director couldn't ask the next question.

As the director shouted "cut", Lin Momo's interview ended.

After putting away the script, the director walked to Lin Cheng and Chen Yu awkwardly. Facing Chen Yu's slightly dissatisfied look, the director smiled at the two of them and said, "That's it for the interview part. Next, we will start recording the next part."

Several people returned to the living room.

The director asked the staff to hand a lottery box to Lin Cheng and Lin Momo, and said: "The day of "Living with Daddy" is about to begin. In the next week, daddy and baby will experience a life that is completely different from your past life."

"There are five cards in the box in front of you. They correspond to five different 'family backgrounds'. These are real family situations. The program team selected the five with the highest number of votes from netizens. Now, please draw lots. The information on the card you draw is the life that dad and baby will experience in the next week."

"Are you nervous, dad and baby?" the director asked the two before Lin Cheng drew the lots.

Lin Momo nodded.

I am both curious and nervous about the unknown life in the coming week.

Lin Momo watched Lin Cheng put his hand into the lottery box without blinking, and her whole body tensed up.

—This child is still too naive.

At the side, Lin Cheng glanced at Lin Momo, who seemed to be tense in every cell of her body, and sighed inwardly.

Then, Lin Cheng touched the only card in the box.

Obviously, the so-called lottery was just a show effect. The other groups of stars and their agents probably had already chosen the "family background" that would best showcase their own talents. The ones in the box now were just the ones left over by the other groups.

Lin Cheng took out the card expressionlessly and opened it under Lin Momo's expectant eyes.

There are 6 pieces of information on the card:

Home address: Building 3, Substation Community, Huayuan Road, Huayang District (an old residential building built in the last century, with a floor area of 36 square meters, one bedroom and one living room, and the bathroom and kitchen are shared on one floor).

Dad’s occupation: bottled LPG deliveryman.

Annual family income: 45,000 yuan.

Transportation: Bus.

Financial status: Family savings of 60,000 yuan (regular, cannot be used); external debt of 3,000 yuan due to an accident, with monthly repayments of 500 yuan; social security of approximately 400 yuan per month; rent of 1,500 yuan per month; total monthly fixed expenses of the family of 2,400 yuan (equivalent to 600 yuan per week).

Available funds this week: 200 yuan.

"What did Dad draw?" The director asked curiously after Lin Cheng and Lin Momo finished reading the information on the cards.

"Liquefied gas deliveryman." Lin Momo replied.

Lin Cheng simply turned the card over and pointed it at the camera and the director.

The director smiled and said to the father and daughter, "So Dad will be the gas deliveryman next, delivering gas for cooking to every household."

After a pause, the director continued, "Also, let me briefly explain to you the information on the card."

"The disposable funds are equivalent to your living expenses for the next week. According to the cards you drew, this part of the funds is 200 yuan in total, and you can spend it as you like. As for the mandatory expenses, Dad needs to hand over 600 yuan to the program team after working for a week. This is also your task for the first week."

"Teacher Lin, are you confident that you can complete the task?"

"Do your best." Lin Cheng said.

After completing the recording of this segment and turning off the video equipment, the director took out a "Statement" and handed it to Lin Cheng. At the same time, he repeated the parts that were not mentioned during the recording to Lin Cheng and Chen Yu, the agent.

"The program will officially begin recording the day after tomorrow morning. At that time, the production team's vehicle will directly send the father and child to the residence marked on the card. This should also be stated in the contract you signed earlier."

"In addition, the broadcast format of the program has been slightly adjusted and will be changed to a recorded broadcast + live broadcast format."

—The edited programs will be broadcast online one week after recording, which is every Sunday at 12:00 noon.

In addition, the program team has opened a VIP live broadcast channel on the iwo video app, which provides 24-hour live broadcast of the lives of fathers and children in the program in the form of interactive on-demand broadcasting for VIP users.

"In order to ensure the authenticity of the entire recording process and the entire experience, once the recording begins, it will not be paused. During the process, the director team will not provide you with any advice or help. All decisions are made by you. Unless it is an emergency, any other problems will also need to be solved by you."

"If there is no problem, please sign this supplementary document."

The director handed Lin Cheng a supplementary statement.

After taking the agreement, Lin Cheng quickly read it through, and after confirming that it was correct, he signed his name at the end.

After the director team left, Chen Yu's face completely fell.

"The production team has gone too far!" Chen Yu cursed in dissatisfaction.

Be it the "sensitive" issue during the previous interview or the subsequent adjustments to the broadcast format of the program, these were not mentioned at all in the agreement they signed.

This is obviously the rhythm of using Lin Cheng as a stepping stone and sacrifice for the show!

Compared to Chen Yu's excitement, Lin Cheng seemed much calmer, as if he had expected all this.

"Why else do you think such a good thing would fall into my hands?" Lin Cheng asked back.

Hearing this, Chen Yu fell silent: It seems that this is indeed the truth.

Different from the solemnity on Chen Yu's side.

Lin Momo, who was packing her things nearby, seemed to be in a particularly good mood.

When Lin Cheng and Chen Yu approached, they could still hear her squatting on the suitcase, mumbling something to herself.

"What are you happy about?" Lin Cheng asked casually.

Lin Momo stopped and looked at Lin Cheng: "Nothing."

After that, Lin Momo smiled at Lin Cheng again and said, "I just think that Dad, you are quite lucky."

Hearing Lin Momo's words from the heart.

Lin Cheng: “…”

Chen Yu: “?!”

—I’m afraid that Lin Momo is the only one in the world who thinks that Lin Cheng is lucky to have drawn such a "family background".
