The Butterfly Effect

Chapter 25: Quick questions and quick answers

Views:

The next day we had to start shooting from breakfast, so everyone got up very early.

Zhou Yanqing only found out this morning that some of the staff of the program team slept in tents in the village's elementary school because there was limited housing available in the village. Thinking of those lazy film crews in his previous life, he couldn't help but feel a little bit emotional. An excellent behind-the-scenes team and dedicated staff are the cornerstone of the success of a program or a film and television production.

"What are you thinking?" Cheng Qing patted him from behind.

Zhou Yan looked at the staff who built the equipment and smiled slightly: "I don't watch variety shows very much, but I always thought it was easy to shoot variety shows."

Cheng Qing sighed: "It's just that the shooting cycle is not as long as the film and television works, but it is not inferior to the crew in terms of hard work. Mr. Dafeng used to shoot a lot of indoor variety shows, and the broadcasting time was only 100 minutes, but in fact it took more than a dozen recordings. Hours or even more, every time the recording ends, the voice is hoarse." After a pause, he asked again, "Ms. Song must have worked hard on the set, right?"

Zhou Yanqing originally wanted to explain to Cheng Qing that he had just joined the job and had no chance to go to the set with Song Yu, but he remembered the news in his previous life that Song Yu fell from a horse while filming and broke his ribs, so he nodded heavily.

After breakfast, it was finally time to enter the highlight of the day. Chen Ke sat in the camera pile, announcing to several guests what happened yesterday with a smirk.

This morning all the guests are going to dig potatoes in the field, count as much as you dig, and the potatoes dug out will be sold at the market in the afternoon, and the program team will not provide lunch.

The money earned from selling potatoes is used to repay the "yuan currency" advanced from the program group yesterday. If the amount is not enough, continue to work and earn money to repay it tomorrow. If there is any surplus, it will be used by the guests.

After two days of recording, if the guests have paid off all the "garden coins", then the current rural life experience will be successfully concluded, and if they have not paid off, they will be punished by the program group.

As for the punishment, Chen Ke still kept it a secret, and Liu Ranyi yelled, "The director is taking the bamboo shoots!", which made the audience burst into laughter.

Digging potatoes naturally requires tools. In addition to baskets, the staff took five kinds of farm tools that are common in rural areas and placed them on the ground.

For rural people, these farm tools are all too familiar, and each has a different purpose, some are used for weeding and some are used for shoveling soil. But for the few guests who grew up in the city and have never been in contact with farm work, it is very difficult. It is difficult to judge which farm tool is the most suitable for digging potatoes from the appearance.

Liu Ranyi even quietly told Dafeng that potatoes grow in mud.

Looking at the situation, the tools are definitely not that easy to get. Sure enough, Chen Ke said below that the order of picking farm tools should be determined through a quick question and answer game.

Dafeng joked: "Director, it's okay to let us choose blindly, after all, we really don't know which tool is the best."

After some chatting and laughing, the game officially started.

Quick Question and Quick Answer This game requires guests to give answers within three seconds after the director finishes asking questions. If they do not answer or exceed the time limit, this question will be regarded as a wrong answer, and they will continue to answer the next question until all ten questions are answered. Whoever takes the shortest time is the first, followed by the second, and so on.

It is difficult for people to fabricate appropriate lies or euphemistic answers immediately in a state of urgency. Most of them will subconsciously express their true thoughts. Zhou Yanqing guessed that the program group may set some tricky or gossip questions to increase the interest of the program. Interesting and topical.

Sure enough, Dafeng, who was the first to play the game, was asked the question "Do you have a girlfriend?" As a host, Dafeng has a good adaptability, and he answered decisively without any hesitation: "Yes, my female fans are."

This game is undoubtedly very easy for Dafeng, he answered ten questions easily. Next is Liu Ranyi. He has a cheerful personality and loves to play tricks. He managed to confuse the two tricky questions by relying on his cleverness, and he also answered ten questions with ease.

Then it was Song Yu's turn, his desolate expression made everyone present a little nervous.

For the sake of truth, the pre-set topic of the program group did not agree with the guests. After all, it was Song Yu's first time participating in a variety show, and even the director could not figure out where his bottom line was.

A female screenwriter in the screenwriting team murmured to the people next to her, "Ms. Song's questions were all prepared by me. What if I piss him off?"

Zhou Yanqing stood behind them and heard it, and frowned disapprovingly. On the day of the tea room talk, Chen Ke once mentioned that if there are any taboo topics that cannot be mentioned, they can communicate in advance, and they will never be mentioned during the recording process. At that time, Song Yu's answer was "No, no special care is needed".

Although Song Yufang didn't have any special requirements, Chen Ke was still a little cautious. When he asked questions to the script, he unconsciously slowed down his speech. After listening carefully, he seemed a little apprehensive.

In fact, it doesn't matter to Song Yu how many tricky questions he asks. He is not an idol, and he has never created any personality for himself. It is not difficult for him to answer honestly.

Song Yu answered the first nine questions smoothly. After the tenth question, Chen Ke hesitated before asking cautiously: "Excuse me, have you ever been in love? How many times in total?"

After Chen Ke finished speaking, Song Yu was stunned with his eyes wide open.

His ecstasy made everyone present a little curious and surprised. Gale reacted quickly and immediately started counting down. Just when Dafeng thought that Song Yu would not answer this question directly and was about to help him out, Song Yu nodded and replied: "We talked, once."

The scene was completely silent. Two seconds later, there was a gasp, followed by whispered discussions. The guests in the camera had different expressions. Dafeng was able to control his expression and looked very calm. Liu Ranyi and Tong Shuang opened their mouths slightly and forgot to take them back. Cheng Peng pursed his lips as if smiling.

Song Yu himself was very calm. The reason why he hesitated just now was because he suddenly thought of Han Jin, which made him a little unhappy. And he was also thinking about whether he had ever been in love. If it was at this time in the last life, of course it wouldn't be, but he was reborn to hold the memory of two years later, so he hesitated for a while, and he chose the affirmative answer.

Apart from surprise, Chen Ke's face was filled with uncontrollable excitement. He had already expected how explosive and eye-catching it would be after editing this scene into a promotional video. He suppressed the chuckle on his face, glanced behind him seriously, and the crew of the show fell silent instantly.

Chen Ke gave Dafeng a wink, and Dafeng immediately came out to control the field, and the recording continued smoothly.

Next, Tong Shuang and Cheng Peng, one is a real young idol and the other has a heavy idol burden, so both of them are very slow to answer questions.

When the final results came out, Dafeng ranked first in the shortest time, Song Yu was second, Liu Ranyi was third, Cheng Peng and Tong Shuang were fourth and fifth respectively.

Zhou Yanqing quickly collected her thoughts, obediently stood among the staff and stared at Song Yu's every move. Although it was just a small game, Zhou Yanqing was secretly happy because Song Yu won the second place. He selfishly hoped that Song Yu would choose a tool that he was comfortable with, so that going to the ground would not be so tiring.

When it came time to choose tools, Dafeng wandered around and finally chose a shovel that looked very convenient for shoveling.

When it was Song Yu's turn to choose, Zhou Yanqing was inexplicably nervous. He stared at the two-toothed hoe on the far right, praying that Song Yu would choose it.

When he was young, his parents ignored him and his grandfather had to work. When he was eight or nine years old, Zhou Yanqing was placed by his grandfather in the care of a cousin in the countryside for half a year. During those six months, he often went to the fields with his cousin, and did a lot of farm work such as digging potatoes and planing sweet potatoes. He naturally knew that the two-toothed hoe was the most convenient and labor-saving tool for digging potatoes.

Seems to have a tacit understanding, Zhou Yanqing was thinking about Song Yu and looked over. The eyes of the two collided lightly under the mild light in the morning. Zhou Yanqing's eyes fell on the ground, and he pouted at the two-toothed hoe. When he went to look at Song Yu again, the other party had already looked away, and he didn't know. did you see that.

Song Yu turned around and lowered his head to look at the farm tools on the ground. Suddenly he laughed silently, then bent down and picked up the two-toothed hoe that Zhou Yanqing strongly signaled.

The remaining Liu Ranyi chose the hand shovel, Cheng Peng chose the hoe, and Tong Shuang was the last one, and all she was left with was a sickle.
