The first phase of "Returning to the Garden" was filmed in a small village called Wanhu Village in City B.
Zhou Yanqing is from City B, but he has never heard of Wanhu Village. He searched with his mobile phone, and found more than a dozen places called "Wanhu Village", but found no valuable content.
Meng Shiping flipped through the script, looking for something to say: "Xiao Zhou, I remember you filled in your resume as a person from City B?"
Zhou Yan nodded lightly: "Yes, but I have never been to this place called Wanhu Village."
"It's normal that I haven't been there, it's just a small village. By the way, Mr. Song studied in City B for a year in high school, and you both went to the same university. It's a fate."
Zhou Yanqing's heart skipped a beat, afraid that Meng Shiping would continue to ask him where he studied in high school, and he wanted to find a topic to divert the other party's attention, but at this moment Song Yu stood up with a cup in his hand.
"Mr. Song, do you want to fetch water? Let me go." Zhou Yan asked lightly.
Song Yu didn't refuse, when he handed over the cup, he accidentally poked the other's palm with the tip of his index finger, Zhou Yanqing flinched as if scorched by fire.
"Do you still have the scented tea you made for me yesterday?" Song Yu asked.
Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment before answering: "Yes, yes, then I will make scented tea for you."
"You seem to like Xiao Zhou." After Zhou Yanqing went out, Meng Shiping smiled at Song Yu. He remembered the cup of scented tea Zhou Yanqing made in the tea room after get off work yesterday, and added, "He seems to like Xiao Zhou too." I like you."
Song Yu snorted and replied, "He's quite an honest kid, he's more likable than Gao Lei."
Meng Shiping was a little surprised: "Have you met Gao Lei?"
Song Yu's heart shuddered, realizing that he had said something wrong. They arrived at the company near noon, chatted with the people from the "Returning to the Garden" program group in the office for a while, and then went out for dinner. They just came back from dinner and had a face-to-face meeting with Gao Lei.
Song Yu shrugged, and replied calmly: "Didn't you say hello just now?"
Meng Shiping was very surprised: "Since when did you rate people based on your appearance? Don't you just keep saying that you are good at work?"
Song Yu said with a pun: "Everyone is subject to change."
Meng Shiping didn't think much about it, nodded his head in agreement, and said, "Before I told you to ask a friend to introduce someone, I was talking about Gao Lei. At that time, you insisted on making an open recruitment, but it took so long to pick and choose Gao Lei. It's more suitable, but it's not bad to leave Xiao Zhou behind, Gao Lei is shrewd and experienced, suitable for following me, Xiao Zhou is careful and restrained, suitable for following you, very good."
After Meng Shiping mentioned this, Song Yu remembered that such an incident did happen, and now he can be absolutely sure that Gao Lei was not deliberately arranged by Meng Shiping. There seemed to be an air hole in a blocked place in the chest, Song Yu exhaled the stagnant breath in his chest, and stared at Meng Shiping with drooping eyelids.
Sensing Song Yu's gaze, Meng Shiping turned his head to take a look. The two recalled yesterday's little dispute at the same time, and after a moment of embarrassment, they looked at each other and smiled.
Since the two have worked together, they have often disagreed. There have been many disputes like yesterday. After the dispute, whoever speaks first will apologize first. If no one apologizes, it will be nothing after the night. This is now. Song Yu used to think that this was a kind of tacit understanding between him and Meng Shiping, but now he understands that it may not be a tacit understanding, but the other party has been forbearing.
Zhou Yan lightly brewed scented tea and knocked on the door to enter the office. The three of them stopped chatting and began to seriously discuss the program shooting process.
Half an hour later, Meng Shiping put away the script and handed it to Zhou Yanqing: "Don't be so tense, and you are not the only one to go, basically I will accompany Mr. Song's notice. This time I will bring Gao Lei and Go, you learn from him."
Zhou Yanqing nodded seriously, and Meng Shiping remembered that he was not there this morning, so he asked again: "Have you met Gao Lei?"
"I've seen it." Zhou Yanqing put away the script, and asked hesitantly, "Then I'm going to Mr. Song to help him pack his luggage today...?"
The artist's work is communicated and arranged by the agent, so in fact, the work assistant is responsible for more aspects of the artist's life. Zhou Yanqing is not sure to what extent he wants to do it.
Meng Shiping covered his lips and let out a laugh. He looked at Song Yu with a hint of teasing, and replied, "No, Mr. Song doesn't like outsiders going to his house. You can meet us at the company on time tomorrow."
Zhou Yanqing realized that his ears were burning from asking unnecessary questions, and he was about to leave with the script, but Meng Shiping stopped him again.
"Five minutes later, you ask Gao Lei to wait for me in the conference room, and I will tell you about the specific work assignment."
"Okay, Brother Meng."
In the afternoon, Meng Shiping held a short and light meeting for Zhou Yanqing and Gao Lei in the conference room, mainly talking about some work assignments and precautions.
When leaving the conference room, Zhou Yanqing walked last, and Gao Lei followed Meng Shiping slowly, and when Meng Shiping walked away, he took a few steps back to be side by side with Zhou Yanqing.
"Is there anything you want to talk about?" Zhou Yan asked lightly.
Gao Lei replied: "When Brother Meng called me to inform me to come for an interview, I thought the interview was just a formality, but I didn't expect that I would really compete for the position through the interview, but I was a little surprised that Mr. Song would choose you. "
Zhou Yanqing didn't pay attention to the point of Gao Lei's words, he asked instead: "Do you know Brother Meng?"
"I don't know each other. I'm well-known in the circle. Brother Meng probably got my number from someone who knew about my resignation. He asked me if I was interested in following Mr. Song."
"Then how do you know that Teacher Song chose me?"
Gao Lei raised his eyebrows, glanced at the young and ignorant Zhou Yanqing, and said with an inscrutable expression: "I can see that Brother Meng admires you, but if Brother Meng decides, we should switch positions. Change."
Seeing Zhou Yanqing's suddenly realized expression, Gao Lei left in satisfaction.
Zhou Yan stopped lightly and looked at Gao Lei's back, the innocence on his face was gone.
The next day, Zhou Yanqing arrived at the company early with her luggage. They had to arrive at the TV station in City S to record an opening scene before eight o'clock, and then set off to City B with the program group's convoy.
City B is a four-hour drive from City S, which is not too far away.
The draft of "Returning to the Garden" has been publicized for several months, and the background silhouettes of four regular guests were announced. According to the silhouettes, the audience quickly guessed that the four guests were the famous male host Dafeng of Channel S, and the famous middle-aged actor. Cheng Peng, young male singer Liu Ranyi, and young actress Tong Shuang are consistent with the guest information provided in the program script.
Song Yu's joining was a bit sudden, but it was enough to make a splash. The program team adjusted the script and asked Song Yu to join as a mysterious guest to promote before the first episode of the program. In order to record the real reaction of the other four guests to the appearance of the mysterious guest, the program crew did not communicate with them, and Song Yu's dressing room on TV S was also on a different floor from the other guests.
After arriving at TV S, Song Yu began to put on makeup, and Zhou Yanqing stood by. Gao Lei went out for a while, and came back ten minutes later, he closed the door of the dressing room and said to Meng Shiping: "Brother Meng, I went downstairs just now, the other four guests have already put on their makeup, they are about to Go to the lobby on the first floor to record the opening scene."
Zhou Yanqing couldn't help but look sideways. He thought he was a careful and thoughtful person, but he seemed to be far worse than Gao Lei's well-known professionalism.
Song Yu saw the tangle between the little assistant's brows and eyes from the mirror. When the makeup artist was changing the makeup brushes, he turned his head to Zhou Yan and said softly: "Practice makes perfect."
Zhou Yan was stunned lightly, blinking his black eyes a few times before realizing that Song Yu seemed to be comforting himself just now, his palms hidden in his sleeves were a little numb, and he nodded in a daze, regardless of whether Song Yu saw it or not. .
Immediately after putting on makeup, someone knocked on the door to announce the start of recording. In order to make the program more dramatic, Song Yu had to appear in the main building of the TV station by himself in a car and then walked to the lobby to meet other guests.
Sending Song Yu into the car through the back door, Zhou Yanqing and Gao Lei followed Meng Shiping into the hall.
The hall has been cleared, and a row of cameras fixed on tripods and dozens of staff surrounded the guests in a half circle. Zhou Yanqing followed Meng Shiping into the "encirclement" of the staff, and their positions were facing the direction of the gate.
The director sat behind the camera and was interacting with the guests, saying that a mysterious guest would join the "experience group". The experienced host Dafeng immediately showed a shocked look and led the other guests to guess who the mysterious guest was.
The mysterious atmosphere had already been heightened by several people, Song Yu appeared at the revolving door with a leisurely pace under the loud invitation of Gale. The gate is still a bit far from the shooting range, and everyone can only see a tall and straight male figure. Until Song Yu pushed open the revolving door and came, everyone saw his face, from guests to dozens of staff members, everyone had expressions of disbelief at first, and after a short reaction, cheers, applause, and exclamation resounded through hundreds of people. The lobby of the main TV station building with an area of square meters.
The reactions of the four guests were very real. Everyone's expressions ranged from shock to surprise. The director Chen Ke sat on the floor with a small speaker and sat happily from ear to ear. From the reactions of the guests, he could already predict the audience's reaction after the show was broadcast.
There is a host who controls the venue, and the opening recording went smoothly. As Song Yu's absolute main character, most of the topics revolved around him, and he handled it with ease.
Meng Shiping stood behind Zhou Yanqing and let out a deep breath. He seemed to be talking to himself: "Ms. Song has never participated in variety shows, and this time I didn't prepare well. I was a little worried that his first reality show would Lu Qi, now it seems that I was worrying too much."
Zhou Yanqing gave a meaningless "hmm", but this did not mean that he agreed with Meng Shiping's words.
The other day before get off work, he sent scented tea to Song Yu. He saw that the paused scene on the iPad screen on the coffee table was a popular variety show, and Song Yu’s eyes were bloodshot. Been doing homework.
Zhou Yanqing couldn't help thinking of the day of the second year of high school, when the session of subsidizing poor students ended, Song Yu gave a half-hour unscripted speech at the kind invitation of the old principal. The content is probably to encourage everyone to study hard, cherish the time and so on. It sounds like the school is ready in advance to try to use the influence of stars to encourage all students in the school.
Zhou Yanqing was bored, but he was very surprised. After all, even the student representatives seldom left their speeches on stage. After the event that day, he returned to the classroom and found a speech in his drawer. It was only then that he suddenly realized that Song Yu was reciting the speech in his place and fell asleep.
A person who can memorize even a formalized speech carefully, how can he slack off his work.
