Chapter Ch58.1 - Protecting the Baby
Once the audience saw Li Zhao directly pick up the piglet to place it in the pigsty, they could no longer control their smiles and rolled around laughing.
“I’m watching this show with my mother. My mother asked about the ident.i.ty of this child who is really diligent. She also told me that if I later find a boyfriend like this, I should climb up.”
“To be honest, I saw Li Zhao rely on a web drama to mingle with some famous people and hold onto Cangshi’s thighs and didn’t like him very much. Then once I saw him naturally chatting with the uncle about pig farming and family life, I suddenly felt this was a very honest and likeable young man.”
“Upstairs +1. I can see that this uncle really likes Li Zhao. His eyes seem like he is looking at his own child.”
The netizens discussed the show while watching it. They saw the aunt calling Li Zhao to the kitchen and preparing a small plate for him. The result was that he was caught by the camera and they laughed with amus.e.m.e.nt again.
“My mother, this aunt is so cute. She secretly gave bacon to Zhao Zhao to eat. I can watch Zhao Zhao holding the bowl and turning to look at the camera a hundred times.”
“Don’t stop Zhao Zhao. Let him eat. In order to eat the bacon, the baby even carried a piglet and sacrificed so much. None of you can stop him from eating. Let him eat, ahhh!”
The audience was extremely excited while watching. If Li Zhao wasn’t allowed to eat meat then they would enter the TV and settle accounts with the show.
“I’m a big man watching a variety show and even worried about the male guest eating meat. This poor little guest, what is his name? Is he an actor or singer?”
In Yan Ting’s house, Li Zhao sat on a sofa and covered his eyes. He couldn’t look directly at his face eager to eat bacon.
“Is meat in the country so delicious?”
“It’s delicious.” Li Zhao reflexively replied before putting down his hand to look at Yan Ting. “Ting Ting, I suspect that you’re taunting me.”
“Don’t doubt it.” Yan Ting placed the fruit tray on the table into his hands. “I will have the kitchen cook bacon.”
“You are laughing at me.” Li Zhao poured his grief into his appet.i.te. He bit the fruit as he continued to sit cross-legged and watch the show.
Many things that he thought were ordinary became extraordinarily funny after post-production. He thought he had been awkward when he was preparing to eat the bacon only to be discovered by the camera. Once it aired, it was funny and pitiful.
The six guests had around the same length of time in the show. Li Zhao thought he was responsible for the face and hadn’t expected the program to give him the funny role.
Yan Ting watched Li Zhao jump up and down. He went to see the grafting of fruit trees and then drove away the chickens stealing the vegetables in the vegetable garden, always smiling happily.
“Did you have fun going to the country?” Yan Ting picked up a piece of fruit from the plate and ate it himself.
“It’s quite fun.” Li Zhao picked up ab big piece and held it to Yan Ting’s mouth. “Open your mouth.”
The temperature of his fingers was transmitted through the air to Yan Ting’s face. It was warm. Yan Ting lowered his head to bite the fruit, but he couldn’t bear to chew it.
“The village is fun. There are just too few people in the village that young people could hardly be seen.” Li Zhao sighed. “I will take you to the countryside to play when I have free time later.”
“Okay.” The TV started playing footage related to Li Zhao again and Yan Ting’s eyes returned to the TV.
The guests were digging at the soil. Among the several guests who looked bitter despite working hard, the exuberant Li Zhao seemed very special.
Caption: You might think we’re fast-forwarding this but we aren’t.
Old viewers of the Seclusion Mountain Forest initially rejected the changing of guests but they turned to Channel 9 on the national station out of habit. However, they were immersed when they watched it. From time to time, they laughed at the foolishness of the guests and even felt that this show was more exciting than the previous episodes.
What about the guest Da Liu of the previous episodes? It is the past, let him go. We want to see this foolishness.
“My mother, the little sunflower is so daring that he provoked a big rooster in love. I don’t think he knows the real fighting power of a rooster.”
“Little sunflower proves that humans can exert unlimited strength when running away.”
“Hahaha, Li Zhao acts like a king but in front of the big rooster, he also became bronze. Their backs when running away was like us in our lazy youth.”
“I admire the cameraman? At such times, he can run for his life while carrying a camera and filming the guests?”
“I swear I’m a Li fan but seeing Zhao Zhao being chased by the rooster, I’m laughing to the point of tears. It’s too funny, hahaha.”
“Upstairs must be a fake fan. The real fans have already started taking screenshots to do an expression pack.”
“Friends, those who need the expression packs can go to Li Zhaochao, the administrator of the emoji-related Weibo.”
“What type of creatures are the Li fans? Why do they feel like black fans?”
“Previously, I thought Li Zhao was a charming young man taking the gentle style and the fans follow the artist. Now it proves that the fans are truly following the right artist.”
“When I saw him playing martial artists with the small children, I turned from a black fan to a fan. I don’t know how to describe it but his eyes when he looks at the children are very gentle like… there is a light in his eyes.”
“My mother said the same thing. She said this boy called Li Zhao must have a good hater. Later when he is married, he must be a good husband and a good father. So Zhao Zhao, when will you come marry me?”
“Upstairs, don’t just drink. You should eat some food. What type of drunkard are you?”
At the end of the first episode, the program team interviewed each guests. The other interviewers talked about how inhuman the crew were. Only Li Zhao smiled brightly.
“Sweet potato porridge is delicious.”
“The bacon is delicious as well.”
“In fact, I usually don’t eat a lot. I was too happy today so my appet.i.te was big.”
The audience, “……”
This was a person who carried a piglet in order to eat a mouthful of bacon? Did he dare to say that he didn’t eat a lot?
“Let’s leave Zhao Zhao some face and pretend to believe him.”
“Yes, our family’s Zhao Zhao is a little fairy man who eats very little. Eating a lot is the effect of the program and has nothing to do with him.”
“Yes yes yes, our Zhao Zhao is a little fairy man who can be full by drinking dew.”
“The Li fans… are really toxic.”
***
The success of the last season of If We fall In Love brought a lot of wealthy sponsors to the show’s new seasons. The guests in the previous season relied on the program to gain popularity and received a lot of benefits. Thus, there were many audience members looking forward to this season despite it not being broadcasted yet.
The ‘Love’ crew was very confident. Recently, there were no hot variety shows. If they broadcasted this episode, it might not be as hot as the previous period but at least it could give advertisers a satisfactory answer.
A week or two before the season started, the crew started the publicity. On the night of the official broadcast, the program team seemed to see their ratings rise to the top. After the broadcast, it was no different from their imagination. It was really popular.
There might be many fans arguing on the webcast platform but so what if there was arguing. The more they argued, the higher the program’s sense of existence.
“This Xu Bei knows how to get along with girls. His performance is almost exactly in line with the perfect boyfriend in the hearts of girls.” The director was originally very dissatisfied with the guest crammed in by Zijia Entertainment but after watching the recording effect, his opinions of Xu Bei were much smaller.
Originally, this guest spot was for Lu Hao to introduce a friend. Zijia Entertainment had inserted someone halfway, which not only disrupted the director’s plan but made Lu Hao unhappy with him. Thus, the director had been somewhat dissatisfied.
As time pa.s.sed, the program team found that the audience was decreasing and even the frequency of the barrage area was decreasing.
The ‘Love’ program team looked at the lost data and couldn’t find the reason. The program’s style was the same as the last season and even the staff hadn’t been replaced. Why did the results start to decline suddenly? Recently, there were no variety shows or TV shows that could compete. For the audience to abandon their program halfway through, was there a better show that had appeared?
“Is there a new variety show this week?”
“Director, I’ve checked and none of the other stations have a new variety show.”
“So what’s happening with the data?”
The staff felt like crying. They also wanted to know what was going on.
“Go check out shows in the same time period and see whose data is starting to rise!”
After a while, the staff member came back with a dazed expression. “Director, I found out that there is a program called Seclusion Mountain Forest and the ratings are rising.”
Seclusion Mountain Forest? Based on the name, it was a third-rate variety show that couldn’t become hot. The director frowned, “Are they stealing our ratings?”
The staff member’s expression said ‘You are thinking too much’ as he stared at the director. “Director, anyone can do this type of thing but only this TV station is impossible.”
“Why?”
“It is because this is a program on the national channel.”
“What?” The director thought there was something wrong with his ears. “Which channel?”
“Channel 9.”
The director turned on the computer and searched for this program on the national station’s webcast platform. Once he opened it, he saw six people crouched on the ground, their clothes and hair a mess. Their makeup wasn’t changed and the light didn’t hit them properly. From head to toe, there was no sense of fashion. This type of show could be hot?
He looked around the six guests and finally found a young and handsome guy. Despite wearing shabby clothing, his outstanding appearance couldn’t be hidden even if he did nothing.
It was a pity that a boy who looked so good didn’t come to their show. He would definitely attract many girls to watch. The national station’s programs neither used hype or propaganda. Even the appearance fee was somewhat low. A traffic actor wouldn’t choose such a program to partic.i.p.ate in if they had a choice.
The director couldn’t help thinking while watching.
Oh, it was open-minded. The guests got along naturally and there were no contradictions. There wasn’t anything that could improve the feelings of the audience.
The guests really carried sweet potatoes? It was worthy of the national channel. They even dared to let their guests do hard work. Alas, this young guest holding the small child could have a few more slow shots and close-ups to make it a propaganda point.
The variety show on the national station was too rigid. Such a good publicity point became just a bland shot. Was this truly a variety show? It was a waste of a good guest and good materials. Why didn’t this guest come to their show? Unfortunately, it was a pity.
“Director, you’ve been watching it for 10 minutes.”
As the director of the If We fall In Love program, he couldn’t increase the click-through rate of the enemy.
“A trash show like this isn’t worth mentioning.” The director closed the video player. “ Go and contact the show’s guests and ask them to send another promotional Weibo post.”
He didn’t believe that with so many handsome guys on their show, they couldn’t beat that type of earthy variety show.
