This director lacks vision.

Chapter 393 Are all the top celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry this frivolous?

Seeing Wu Qian's increasingly serious expression, Zong Shuai smiled.

He certainly saw potential in Wu Qian; otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to the trouble of luring him back to China.

However, Zong Shuai also did not want Wu Qian to become too arrogant.

Especially since we're about to discuss the brokerage contract.

The more Wu Qianyue expanded his influence, the harder it became to negotiate the agency contract, and Zong Shuai was unwilling to make too many concessions.

So he said, "You can download the Panda TV app to watch the live broadcast of the 'Farming' program."

Wu Qian was shocked once again.

"This show is actually live? Have domestic variety shows become this amazing?"

As the leader of EXO, Wu Qian returned to China with a sense of superiority.

He felt that the Korean entertainment industry was more professional than the Chinese entertainment industry, especially in singing, dancing, and variety shows.

Even in Korea, very few variety reality shows are broadcast live.

After all, there's only so much variety show content, and if a live broadcast is prolonged, it can easily become boring and tedious.

In addition, constantly doing live streaming poses a huge challenge to staff, the network environment, and the guests participating in reality shows, and accidents can easily occur.

Of course, nobody wants to do it that way.

Seeing Wu Qian's jaw drop in surprise again, Zong Shuai felt a surge of pride for no apparent reason.

He nodded and said, "That's right, the 'Let's Farm' program is a combination of live streaming and editing, and it will be broadcast live on Panda TV for 100 consecutive days."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Wu Qian didn't know how to comment, and could only exclaim: "Fengxing Media is really awesome, no wonder they were able to make the 101 girl group so good!"
Wang Jiaer is very popular in Korea, and Jiang Yifeng, needless to say, is often mistaken for being Korean.

As Wu Qian spoke, he downloaded Panda TV.

He opened the app, and the homepage featured a recommendation for the "Let's Farm, Young Man" live stream.

Upon clicking in, Wu Qian immediately cursed: "Holy crap! Did I see that right? The number of viewers in the live stream has exceeded 800 million!"

"These numbers must be fake!"

Zong Shuai explained, "This number is definitely inflated."

For example, some fans will open multiple accounts to support trainees, and some studio accounts will boost traffic, and there will be duplicate statistics.

For example, if you log out and then log back in, it might count as two separate visits.

However, the data on online accounts is likely not exaggerated.

I think there are probably two to three million people online at the same time, after all, it's the weekend.

The "Let's Farm" program is very popular. After being broadcast live for so many days, many viewers have developed the habit of watching it and often stay online.

A few days ago, Wang Sicong, the boss of Panda TV, criticized YY Live on Weibo for manipulating data. He spoke with great confidence, and YY Live did not respond, clearly indicating that he was in the right.

After listening to Zong Shuai's analysis, Wu Qian felt frustrated.

EXO also held a live broadcast event in Korea, which attracted 20 concurrent viewers and broke the live broadcast record in Korea.

At the time, Wu Qian and others were quite proud of themselves, but now compared to the "Let's Farm" program, they are really nothing.

He exclaimed, "With such a popular live stream, they must be making a fortune just by putting up a few ads!"

Zong Shuai nodded and said, "The ads and gifts in the live stream are indeed very profitable, but the money is donated. The total amount donated so far has reached 6800 million."

The total donations will definitely exceed 100 million by the end of the live stream.

The "Let's Farm" program combines public welfare and agricultural knowledge popularization with official policy guidance, and it also combines popular trainees with the construction of the most beautiful countryside. Do you think the country likes this kind of program?

The official channels have done a lot of free publicity, and even the leaders have praised it.

Looking back now, Jiang Yifeng was truly damn awesome; he deserved to make so much money!

Wu Qian nodded and agreed, saying, "Jiang Yifeng is indeed awesome."

However, the "awesomeness" Wu Qian mentioned was different from Zong Shuai's; he was referring to Jiang Yifeng's adopted daughter group.

With two generations of girl groups from Produce 101 and Crown Group, so many beautiful women are under Jiang Yifeng's control, which Wu Qian greatly admires and respects.

There was some traffic on the road, and Zong Shuai kept chatting with Wu Qian.

However, Wu's response was not enthusiastic, because in the live broadcast room, the "Let's Farm, Boys" competition was about to begin.

This round of competition wasn't a performance; it was real, hands-on work in the fields.

The winter wheat planted in the village is now ripe and ready for harvest. Some large areas of flat land can be harvested mechanically, while some smaller plots require manual harvesting.

Thirty trainees are tasked with harvesting wheat using a combination of machinery and manual labor, then turning the soil, fertilizing, and planting new crops.

This round of competition will last for 3 days, and the final selection of those eliminated will be based on their individual labor points, combined with online popularity votes.

Before the competition began, experts, as is customary, provided a popular science explanation.

"Most of the wheat grown in North my country and areas south of it is winter wheat, which is sown in autumn and harvested the following summer."

It's different from the common understanding that you sow in spring and harvest in autumn.

In fact, winter wheat is of better quality than spring wheat and is the best source of flour in my country... After harvesting wheat, we usually plant corn and soybeans as a transitional crop, and then sow winter wheat when the corn and soybeans are ripe in the fall.

This cyclical farming method maximizes the use of arable land resources and increases output, but it also places higher demands on our meticulous farming practices, especially the maintenance of arable land…

Wu Qian felt he had learned something from the expert's explanation.

He had never been involved in farming before and always thought that wheat was sown in spring and harvested in autumn, but he didn't realize that winter wheat was sown in autumn.

Many viewers in the live stream felt the same way, with the chat filled with "I learned something new".

After the experts finished their explanation, a lottery was held on-site to determine the division of labor.

Li Mingqiang was the first to draw lots, and he drew the one to drive a combine harvester.

This should have been a fairly easy task, but Li Mingqiang immediately started wailing.

The viewers in the live stream laughed too.

"Haha, Li Mingqiang really has a bad luck; he's bound to have bad luck every day!"

"It's alright, Brother Qiang is tough. Even if he's unlucky, he'll survive in the end."

"I hope Xiao Qiang won't fall off the harvester this time!"

"It's really hard to say. Xiao Qiang has had all sorts of bad luck. The production team has even publicly stated that they bought him some insurance!"

Li Mingqiang, true to his name, has a tough life, but very bad luck.

He's had too many bad luck stories on set: bird droppings in his bowl while eating, a hoe falling and hitting his instep, and he keeps slipping and falling...

Basically, something unlucky happens every day.

The worst time was when he was sitting in the back of an electric tricycle, passing through a wooded area, when a large tree branch was suddenly blown down by the wind and almost hit him.

Li Mingqiang was so frightened that he jumped out of the car on the spot, scraping his knees, but thankfully he was unharmed.

This guy is really unlucky, but he's incredibly resilient and always manages to escape danger.

Netizens jokingly call him "the cockroach that can't be killed," hence the nickname "Brother Cockroach." The production team has also put a lot of effort into him, both educating and protecting him, fearing that something might really happen to him.

Li Mingqiang's father also shared his experience, saying that his son's name was given by a wandering Taoist priest who claimed that the name "Mingqiang" was used to ward off evil spirits.

Whether there was any bad luck or not is unknown, but Li Mingqiang became popular on the show, and he now has 1800 million followers on Weibo.

Many viewers like this optimistic guy, Xiao Qiang.

It just goes to show that luck is still a factor in becoming famous.

In his previous life, Li Mingqiang changed his name to Li Gengyun, but he remained an unknown. Now, he participated in the "Let's Farm" program without changing his name, and by chance, he became an overnight sensation.

However, Li Mingqiang wailed after the draw, not because he was afraid of bad luck, but because the easy job would earn him fewer labor points.

You can't earn many points by operating a harvester.

At this moment, when the lottery is being held, everyone wants the difficult job.

Cheng Yi, who was next in the draw, even shouted, "I want to carry manure! I'm the armored guy! Can I do it without armor? Let me carry manure!"

Seeing Cheng Yi shouting with his head tilted back, Wu Qian couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This show is so damn abstract! The idol trainees are shouting that they want to pick up manure, and they even use their own derogatory nicknames on the show.

The comments section was filled with "666". Cheng Yi has completely let loose now, mainly because his abstract style is positively inspiring.

Although some fans couldn't stand the sight of him being showered with excrement and left the fanbase, his fame grew, and his fan base expanded.

After the screening, the number of die-hard fans did not decrease, but rather increased significantly.

Many fans praise Cheng Yi for being a genuine person and a role model for the "Let's Farm, Boys" group.

The more abstract the art, the more popular it becomes. Under such circumstances, he is naturally willing to create some new works.

Not just Cheng Yi, other trainees also love to stir up trouble.

On the one hand, creating buzz and generating traffic is a good thing; on the other hand, everyone is putting a lot of pressure on their bodies and minds by doing live-streaming farming every day.

Doing something light and engaging in activities can also help release negative emotions.

Cheng Yi shouted that she was going to pick up manure, but it was no use.

His assigned task was to transport and dry wheat, which involved bagging the wheat and transporting it to a designated location for drying.

This task is of medium difficulty, and the points awarded are also moderate.

Next up in the draw was Cai Xukun.

Following Cheng Yi's example, Kun Ge also shouted, "Chicken, you're so beautiful! Chicken God, bless me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he drew a lot and held it high.

The camera zoomed in, and the slip of paper read "Slaughter chicken and cook".

Seeing this, Wu Qian burst out laughing again.

Chicken Brother Kills Chickens—In the end, it was Chicken God who bore the brunt of everything.

After seeing the lottery results, Cai Xukun cried and whined, "Why! Why! Why do you make me kill chickens! I'm afraid of sharp-beaked animals, and I'm even more afraid of blood! I want to change jobs!"

This is what makes farming so fun.

Even though two months have passed and the trainees have grown a lot, there are still some aspects of their personalities that they cannot change.

For example, when there's no farm work, Wang Yibo, Cai Xukun, and others love to dress up and put on makeup; they are particularly fond of beauty.

For example, Brother Chicken is afraid of chickens and likes to ask other brothers for help.

The contrasting personalities of these trainees keep the show entertaining.

Cai Xukun pleaded for a long time, but no one paid any attention to him.

The job of killing chickens and cooking is to ensure logistics, which is the job with the fewest points, and no one wants to switch jobs with him.

In this round of the lottery, the jobs with the highest points were heavy physical farm work such as manually harvesting wheat, carrying manure for fertilization, and manually hoeing the land.

In the end, Peng Yuchang and Zhang Wanyi were lucky and drew the job of carrying manure and applying fertilizer.

Seeing Peng Yuchang and Zhang Wanyi hugging and cheering in the live broadcast room, Wu Qian was completely stunned!

This is just like carrying manure, isn't it?
Why are you all so happy when you're carrying manure?!
Especially in the upcoming episodes, these trainees can do everything!
He could carry manure with incredible speed and ease, his hoeing skills were superb, he could even sing and shout, and he was also incredibly adept at driving a combine harvester.

Although Brother Chicken's killing of the chicken was a big show, he also accomplished his mission.

Wu Qian was completely convinced.

During dinner, he suddenly asked Zong Shuai, "Are all the top celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry this frivolous these days?"

Wu Qianyuan originally planned to enjoy the treatment of a top idol after returning to China.

They can make money just by showing their face, and then give out idol perks to some good-looking fans.

This is what the life of a top celebrity is like.

I never expected that after returning to China, I would see that all the top celebrities were farming, and they would even fight over doing something as simple as carrying manure.

This is fucking too curly!
Hearing Wu Qian's complaints, Zong Shuai laughed and said, "This was all caused by Fengxing Media. Jiang Yifeng strongly encourages internal competition among celebrities. Liu Jicun and Wang Churan even fought over it."

Upon hearing this, Wu Qian sighed.

It can only be said that under Jiang Yifeng's influence, the Chinese entertainment industry has already produced top-tier stars.

If the four returned to China, their influence would certainly not be as great as it was in their previous lives.

Zong Shuai took a sip of his drink and said with a smile, "This is nothing. You'll see what a real rollercoaster is when you watch the live stream tonight."

Zong Shuai's words piqued Wu Qian's curiosity.

He stayed in the live stream room the whole time.

By 8 p.m., the trainees had finished washing up after dinner.

After a long day, Wu Qian thought everyone should relax and rest, since the farmers also need to rest at night.

However, Zhang Chaoyang appeared in the live broadcast room. Wearing glasses, he said coldly, "There are two classes tonight. One is my basic physics, and the other is Professor Guo's lecture on farmland maintenance."

Everyone should study hard, because there will be an exam in two days.

Those who achieve excellent exam results can also receive labor points as a reward.

Seeing the scene of wailing in the live broadcast room, Wu Qian fell completely silent.

As an illiterate person, cultural knowledge was like a foreign language to him, and learning cultural subjects was the most painful thing for him!
But these trainees also have to learn physics and agricultural knowledge.

How can the top celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry be so fiercely competitive?
In just one day, Wu Qian's ambition to return to China vanished...

However, he did not leave the live stream, because the camera only showed the classroom for a short while before switching to Jiang Yifeng.

Jiang Yifeng was seen holding Jing Tian's little hand as they walked along a country road.

The weather is clear tonight, with a bright moon and few stars.

The moon's silvery light shone on Jiang Yifeng and Jing Tian, ​​as if enveloping them in a mysterious glow.

Jing Tian wore a white sleeveless top with a beige skirt tonight, and she looked very gentle.

She has fair skin, delicate features, a perfectly proportioned figure, and a clear and sweet temperament, perfectly embodying the phrase "woman is like water."

The viewers in the live stream were all praising Jing Tian's beauty, and Wu Qian was also watching intently, feeling even more envious of Jiang Yifeng.

Jiang Yifeng admired Jing Tian's beauty up close, and the more he looked, the more he liked her. He smiled and said, "Don't rush to take pictures of the fireflies. Let me take a short video of you first."

Under Jiang Yifeng's guidance, Jing Tian held a glow stick and jogged and spun around on a country road.

The viewers in the live stream didn't understand what Jiang Yifeng was filming, but Jing Tian looked beautiful as she turned around, and everyone enjoyed watching.

Jiang Yifeng is here tonight to photograph fireflies, and he has all sorts of equipment.

After filming the footage, he started editing it on the spot and finished in just a few minutes.

"OK, Tian Tian's short video is finished. I'll show it to you all. I think you'll like it."

The camera in the live stream switched to a short video.

Just then, Jing Tian walked closer from a distance and said, "Have a happy weekend to me~"

Then I picked up the camera and walked around.

The audience seemed to be experiencing Jing Tian's beauty and gentleness from Jiang Yifeng's first-person perspective.

The camera then pulls back, showing Jing Tian spinning around with a glow stick.

Under the cover of night and illuminated by fluorescent lights, a unique interplay of light and shadow was created. Coupled with the background music of "Lovely Woman," Jing Tian radiated her greatest charm.

The live stream chat exploded with excitement.

"Da Tian Tian is so beautiful! It felt like she was walking right towards me!"

"Jing Tian's beauty is clear and pure, neither vulgar nor seductive, just like the moonlight tonight."

"This is the first time I've truly appreciated Jing Tian's beauty. Director Jiang is truly amazing; he's an incredible director."

"I envy Jiang Gou, he has Da Tiantian by his side."

"Don't be envious. Director Jiang has several beauties of Jing Tian's caliber around him!"

Looking at the comments in the live stream, Wu Qian was incredibly envious.

Jing Tian was also very satisfied with Jiang Yifeng's short film. She didn't hold back and kissed Jiang Yifeng as a reward.

This scene truly fed the viewers in the live stream a huge dose of "dog food" (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
