It was soon time to be the eve of the variety show recording.

This time, Zhao Yao took Uncle Wang and two bodyguards to go to H City. The program team had their own B&B for recording programs in the countryside, but Zhao Yao could not live with the guests who recorded the program, so the program team arranged a nearby B&B for him, and the environmental conditions were enough.

After arriving at the place, the director came to greet him in a hurry.

The director of "Lucky" is a strong middle-aged man, very enthusiastic. The bodyguards there moved Zhao Yao and Uncle Wang's luggage into the B&B, and the director enthusiastically invited Zhao Yao's place to have tea when he lived next to him, "Mr. Zhao, I have long admired Daming."

Zhao Yao smelled the tea, and the fragrance of local tea was very special. "You are welcome, let's briefly talk about the current situation of the project."

The director also heard from other channels that Huihua sent someone to inspect the follow-up investment. Although he was the director hired by the project team, he chose to take over the project at the beginning. During this period, he also put a lot of effort into the program. If the investment is reduced, it will be difficult for the subsequent programs to achieve ideal results.

He tried hard to explain the overall details of the project to Zhao Yao, and the latter just nodded and greeted him after hearing this.

After hearing this, Zhao Yao said that other things will be discussed tomorrow before the recording situation is discussed. The director had to stop for a while, knowing that being too long-winded may cause Mr. Zhao to be disgusted. After Zhao Yao left, the people from the director team came up to ask about the situation, and the director said: "Oh, now we can only see what Mr. Zhao thinks. This type of variety show is not very popular now, and it does not mean that the guest team is not good, but the audience's tastes have changed too much."

After a while, the staff came over, "Director, the guest's car has arrived at the entrance of the village. Do you need to prepare for this recording in advance?"

"Record, let the camera crew prepare, and the shots of entering the village need to be filled." The director had to get up and go over to work hard.

The official recording is tomorrow. After Zhao Yao returned to the homestay, he went out for a walk with Uncle Wang.

He rarely comes to the countryside of H City. The only impression is that he was playing with his grandfather when he was a child. But the village here is still a little distance from where he went before. It can be said that one is at the southmost point and the other is at the north. But after entering the village, he heard a lot of dialects, which always made him feel a little close.

Uncle Wang is from City H. I heard that the happiest person to come to the countryside here is him.

The two were walking on the road, and Uncle Wang was talking to him about H City. "When the young master was a child, he loved to pester his wife to go to the countryside for holidays. At that time, the wife was busy at work and always had time to spend a few days with you during the holidays."

"Is this happening? I can't remember it very clearly." Zhao Yao thought about it carefully. He really couldn't remember what happened when he was a child. "I was only five or six years old at that time?"

"It's about the same. The young master was still young at that time. I still remember that the young master went to elementary school later. There were a lot of things in the group during that time. The wife didn't have time to walk away to accompany you to H City. The young master cried for a long time." Uncle Wang said nostalgically: "I said I had made an appointment with the children and wanted to play together. But during that period, during that period, the security of the old house was also much strengthened, and the eldest young master and his itinerary were also restricted, let alone sending you to H City."

"Is this a matter?" Zhao Yao paused slightly, "I've cried like this?"

Uncle Wang smiled and said, "Young Master was quite crying when he was a child. There were many photos in the photo album at home. I would look for it for you after I got back."

Listening to Uncle Wang’s words, Zhao Yao had a vague impression, but he really didn’t remember it at all. He had lived for two lifetimes, had enough things in his mind, and had too many unpleasant things in his previous life. For him, it was almost thirty years ago when he was a child, so he had no time to recall those things.

The air in the countryside is very good, with old houses full of ages everywhere, with low telephone poles, and clotheslines on the outside of the yards of each household.

He walked casually, "It feels pretty good here."

The two walked to the entrance of the village without realizing it and saw that the director's car was parked outside the entrance of the village, and there were people from the camera team who were already preparing. Uncle Wang asked curiously: "Young Master, is this the recording scene?"

Zhao Yao knew that the official recording was tomorrow, and this time should be to shoot some materials to use. "It shouldn't be yet. At this time, the flying guests should come over, right?"

There were many staff members near the director. Some people saw Zhao Yao and a middle-aged man standing on a high slope, so they reminded the director.

"That's Mr. Zhao?"

"He is clearly so far away from me, but I feel a sense of urgency as I am staring at by my leader."

"Didn't some netizens say that they worked under Mr. Zhao's previous project team? Now I have also worked in Mr. Zhao's project."

"I just peeked at him. He is so handsome. He is so white without makeup."

"Absolutely, this handsome guy is actually a domineering president. I thought that those domineering novels are all lies!"

Director Mang Zheng is on his back, but he is also directing other staff to work. This episode, two flying guests, one of which was the director team invited traffic Xiaohua, and the other was a mysterious guest. The first person was traffic Xiaohua, whose name was Yang Mumu, who played the heroine of several ancient puppet dramas, was very popular. After getting off the car, she moved her suitcase out of the reserve car, filled with youthful atmosphere, "Wow, the air here is so good."

The behind-the-scenes of "Lucky" will be broadcasted by some of the behind-the-scenes guests in the village. This section is to prepare for the behind-the-scenes. Uncle Wang saw the little girl below with a sharp eyes, and then asked Zhao Yao: "Master, isn't this the heroine of the costume drama "My Stunning Lover" you watched before?"

Zhao Yao was a little surprised when he heard this. He changed into modern costumes and was a little unrecognizable. After looking carefully, he found that it was really that girl.

He has seen some project information, but he hasn't confirmed it when he got the information for this episode. Unexpectedly, there is still this girl. The idol dramas recommended by Yao Bai to him are outdated, but many of the new dramas recommended by Xiao Ji are idol dramas played by Yang Mumu. He remembers that this girl acted well in the emotional dramas.

The director team sent staff to follow Zhao Yao, and Zhao Yao asked, "Does that girl have a new drama to promote?"

The staff said: "Is Yang Mumu? The TV series starring her and Bai Huan is about to be broadcast, and this time I come here to promote it."

Uncle Wang suddenly realized and asked privately: "What's the name?"

The staff was a little confused: "It seems to be called "Tears of Love".

Why is the financial dad concerned about this?

Uncle Wang picked up the small notebook he carried with him and recorded the title of the drama. He could remind the young master to watch the drama when it was premiered.

The staff dare not neglect the people around the boss, but they can’t figure out what the investment has to do with the promotion of the new drama invited by the guests? Does the financial backer’s father don’t like Yang Mumu?

Another car seemed to have come from a distance. Yang Mumu had already entered the B&B in advance. The director team pulled the camera away on the newly incoming vehicle. Zhao Yao stood a little farther away, and the parking space of the car was farther than Yang Mumu's. Seeing a familiar figure, he turned his head and asked the staff: "Who is the guest behind?"

The staff heard this and said, "Mr. Zhao, it's Pei Mingzhan."

Zhao Yao was stunned, Pei Mingzhan?

When did he take on this variety show?

In addition to the director team staff, there are also villagers coming to watch nearby. Pei Mingzhan's itinerary was kept confidential, and the program team's external press release only said that there were mysterious guests in the new episode. Pei Mingzhan has acted in many TV series and movies and has been in the industry for several years. His fans' age range covers men, women, and young. Some villagers here were surprised to ask around, "Isn't this the best actor who plays who is the one who plays?"

"Did I have makeup on? I heard that King Pei is coming, so I got up early and put on makeup."

"No flowers, no flowers, I really didn't expect that our small program team would have a day to invite the best actor. The investor is so awesome."

"Stop talking. I was shocked when I heard Pei Mingzhan was coming. Aren't he about to leave the circle?"

"I really didn't take on the event. I heard that in the past few months of the itinerary, it seems that we are on the same variety show period as apart from the promotion of the dramas to be broadcast."

Pei Mingzhan just received a call from his agent Brother Lao in the car. This time, the only one who came to record with him was assistant Lele. Brother Lao didn't come with him because of the studio. But he called a lot along the way to explain this and that. He said he would pay attention to the influence of his words and deeds, and he said he would reduce going out privately at night.

The two have worked together for many years, and these things have never been specifically explained, but this time the agent is like a frightened grasshopper. This is the same as the one who needs to explain this and that. Before getting off the car, Pei Mingzhan asked Lele: "Isn't this show a simple slow variety show?"

"Yes..." Lele was also a little confused, that's what the information was written on.

But before he left, he had been told by Brother Lao that he would follow his brother closely this time and he had to follow him wherever he went. "Brother Lao mobilized a lot, which is just a variety show. Brother Pei, you have recorded a lot of variety shows. I haven't explained it like this before."

Pei Mingzhan felt that someone had a ghost in his heart, but it was not important. He would know what the problem was when he arrived at the scene.

The recording place was in the countryside of H City, which was a bit different from the suburbs where he lived when he was a child. The houses here are relatively old and many characteristic old buildings are retained. As soon as he got off the car, he saw the director team shooting site near the entrance of the village, and there were still many people watching the two places.

Is this the recording started? Or is it that you can take the behind-the-scenes footage in advance?

Pei Mingzhan glanced at the surrounding situation a few times and soon noticed the person standing on the slope directly in front of him. The man was wearing a loose light-colored casual outfit and staring straight at him.

Zhao Yao? Why is he here?

Pei Mingzhan thought of Brother Lao's painstaking advice before leaving, laughed a little, turned his head and said to Lele: "Your Brother Lao doesn't need to listen to your words. I am the one who pays you."

Lele was still confused, what does it mean?

When Zhao Yao saw Pei Mingzhan, he remembered the incident of going to a hotel with him some time ago. Some things were a bit unnatural when recalling them. However, Pei Mingzhan was busy with work these days and the two of them didn't contact each other much, but he didn't expect that he actually accepted Huihua's invitation to come to "Leisure".

With Pei Mingzhan's value, coming to this kind of small variety show can be said to be a poverty alleviation. Moreover, he has hardly participated in activities in the entertainment industry recently, and his focus is on his own company. Zhao Yao did not expect that he would come here.

"Mr. Zhao, why don't you watch it in a different position?" The staff saw that Mr. Zhao was interested in these small clips recorded in advance. "Generally, some behind-the-scenes will be filmed and kept for sale on the cooperative platform as a small theater. The behind-the-scenes released in the first episode are quite popular with the audience, so the director took advantage of the time to record some of the "Lucky" small theater."

Zhao Yao saw a staff member handing Pei Mingzhan with her. It was obvious that this filming mainly showed the feeling of coming to the variety show scene for the first time, revealing some behind-the-scenes stories to the audience. The format of the variety show itself is different from the TV series. It gives people a feeling more casual and closer to life, but even if these things are not available on the screen, there are still behind-the-scenes requirements, so the stories before the filming are also content that the audience is interested in.

Zhao Yao has little impression of "Leisure", and he understood something in his previous life because of Uncle Wang. However, as a project with full succession, the audience accumulated by "Leisure" after its reputation cannot be ignored. On the one hand, its variety show content is indeed suitable for slow life, and on the other hand, the program team is relaxed and moderately distributed.

But after a while, the program team gave him a very different feeling. He had seen some of the settings of the program, which was indeed similar to the "Leisure" I remember. If we look at the event trajectory, this project has always been under the name of Huihua Culture. Could it be that because the program revenue was not ideal, the Chen Group later transferred the project to other companies?

The staff stood beside Zhao Yao. He saw that Mr. Zhao's expression had not changed. It was this expressionless expression that made people feel even more nervous.

Isn’t this good way to record behind-the-scenes videos? Will Mr. Zhao dislike their program team for using money indiscriminately...?

Several people stood for a while, and Pei Mingzhan had already recorded there and entered the B&B.

The staff suddenly saw someone running over hurriedly. He saw that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who this person was for a while.

Lele ran over and gasped, and after a rest, he said, "Mr. Zhao, Brother Pei said that he would come to see you after recording."

"He will talk about it after finishing the recording mission." Zhao Yao said calmly, "How many days are you here?"

Lele said: "The program will be recorded for three days, and Brother Pei will stay in H City for a few more days later. Does Mr. Zhao have any arrangements? Let me tell Brother Pei."

"City H?" Zhao Yao suddenly remembered that Pei Mingzhan was from City H. He should have gone home when he came here. "It's okay, please let him do it first."

"Is there anything else to do when recording later?" Zhao Yao asked the staff.

The staff hurriedly said, "It's okay after this recording, the official recording will be tomorrow."

-*

After Pei Mingzhan entered the B&B, he saw several MCs who were resident in "Leisure". After the few of them politely said hello, the program team recorded a few shots, and the rest was to go upstairs to see the room.

"Brother Pei, the director said that he would make up the footage of the entrance later, and the main film might be cut in." The staff came over to talk to him about the content, "The main content is tomorrow. I will record the footage of the check-in today, and I will enter the film to record it tomorrow morning."

Pei Mingzhan knew about the arrangements of their program team, "Okay, just say something in advance."

The staff breathed a sigh of relief. A big figure like Actor Pei suddenly came to their small temple, and the entire program team treated him with great spirit. In addition to Actor Pei, there was also Mr. Zhao behind him staring at him. The recording pressure of this episode was quite high.

Pei Mingzhan saw that the director team was still adjusting the camera, so he asked, "I just saw Mr. Zhao from Huihua. Is it him who you recorded this episode?"

"No." The staff explained: "Zhao always came to inspect and did not participate in the recording of this issue."

How can Mr. Zhao be able to record this? If there is a bit of negative news on the broadcast, they will not be able to take advantage of it. Although the editor of their program team does not do anything, the netizens' ability to talk about should not be underestimated. It is often the case that something goes wrong in the needle.

Mr. Zhao is also very popular online, but they can tell that Mr. Zhao’s identity is not on the same level as that of an ordinary internet celebrity amateur, and the subsequent public opinion pressure is also different. In the past, some small fans scrambled into the village to do secret photos, but because Mr. Zhao came, the bodyguards hired by the program team were staying around the homestay early.

"So that's how it is." Pei Mingzhan suddenly realized that no wonder Zhao Yao's name was not on the list of guests given to him by the agent, but with his fussy behavior, he probably knew about Zhao Yao's coming to the scene in advance, otherwise he would not have repeatedly explained it.

-*

Zhao Yao did not go to the B&B to see the situation, and planned to wait for the main film to be recorded tomorrow. He and the staff took the overall process of this recording and knew that they would get up early tomorrow to go to the market to buy groceries.
