This director lacks vision.

Chapter 394 Don't come back, please don't come back!
After filming the short video for Jing Tian, ​​Jiang Yifeng packed up his equipment and continued walking.

The full moon hangs high in the sky, its light as clear as water, illuminating the country lanes.

Handsome men and beautiful women held hands to photograph fireflies.

Everything was supposed to be romantic.

There was a dense forest ahead, which blocked the moonlight.

As they entered, the surroundings suddenly darkened, startling Jing Tian. She gripped Jiang Yifeng's hand tightly and pressed her body against him.

Jiang Yifeng could feel that Jing Tian's body was stiff and her little hands were sweating, clearly she was very scared.

It's not fair to blame Jing Tian for being timid, because this dense forest is the village's "cemetery".

Although the national requirement is cremation, in many rural areas, the deceased are still cremated, their ashes are placed in a coffin in an urn, and then buried in a pit with soil.

These burial sites are generally located in mountainous or forested areas.

The woods are already dark, and with so many graves, it's easy to panic and wander aimlessly.

This is also the origin of legends such as "being trapped in a maze by ghosts".

If at this time some phosphorus spontaneous combustion occurs, it is commonly known as will-o'-the-wisp.

A ghostly green flame appears out of nowhere and drifts towards you; that will be the final blow.

Jiang Yifeng had experienced this before, so it left a deep impression on him.

But now, walking through the dense forest, he felt not fear, but rather a sense of nostalgia.

This is how it felt when I was a child.

Tonight's title for the Farming Bar live stream is "Taking you to find fireflies".

To enhance the audience's immersion, the camera crew behind Jiang Yifeng and Jing Tian did not turn on the lights when they entered the dense forest path.

The live stream camera was completely black, and viewers in the live stream room could not see anything, only hear the calls of various insects and birds.

Jiang Yifeng said, "Viewers who frequently watch our live streams should know that this grove is where the village elders rest, so let's not turn on the lights and disturb them."

As soon as he said that, the viewers in the live stream laughed, and the chat was flooded with prayer emojis of hands clasped together.

There are also some rebellious troublemakers who deliberately stir up trouble.

"Turn on the lights, Mr. Jiang! I want to see the elders in the village!"

"Director Jiang, would you like to light a candle? If the candle gets blown out, run! This is also recorded in Ghost Blows Out the Light!"

"Where's the red-eye group? Hurry up and send red-eye emojis."

"President Jiang, please turn on the lights. The seniors are also feeling lonely and would like to have a chat with you."

Jiang Yifeng was unaware of the comments from the viewers in the live stream. He continued, "We're almost at the irrigation ditch. There are lots of aquatic plants and low shrubs there, which is the favorite habitat for fireflies."

We'll be able to see fireflies soon, everyone stay tuned!

"Let's Farm, Boys" is, after all, a variety show. It's impossible to say that it really depends on the weather and prays that fireflies will appear if the environment is improved.

The program team invited experts to conduct firefly breeding work here.

Only in this way can enough fireflies appear to create a beautiful visual effect.

Here, batches of fireflies will continuously breed and mature, providing a viewing period of one to two months before eventually disappearing.

As soon as Jiang Yifeng finished speaking, two or three faint points of light appeared in front of him.

The light spots were greenish and flickering, making them difficult to see clearly, as if they were an illusion.

As you get closer, there are even more spots of light.

In the pitch-black night, the presence of light creates a visual focal point.

The number of comments in the live stream suddenly decreased, clearly indicating that the viewers had also seen the fireflies and were no longer interested in sending comments.

Jiang Yifeng continued walking forward, and the further he went, the more fireflies he saw.

When they emerged from the woods and came to a ditch, their eyes lit up.

Thousands of fireflies crawl on the aquatic plants along the ditches, turning them into fluorescent ribbons.

The appearance of Jiang Yifeng and his group was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake.

A group of fireflies were startled and took flight.

Other fireflies were also drawn in, and flocks of them took flight.

The countless fireflies gathered together, forming a flowing galaxy.

But such aggregation is not the norm.

A gentle breeze stirred, and the fireflies that had suddenly taken flight scattered, transforming the Milky Way into a myriad of twinkling stars.

Under the cool moonlight, it glows with a warm light.

Seeing this dreamlike scene, Jing Tian was completely stunned.

Jiang Yifeng was also deeply shocked.

Unexpectedly, they arrived at the perfect time, capturing the moment the fireflies had just emerged and were active.

From crawling in the grass to taking off in a group, and then to the scattering of flowers like a fairy, this dreamlike and beautiful moment is the most magnificent scenery of nature.

The location for breeding fireflies was carefully selected by the production team.

Standing here by the canal, you can not only admire the beauty of the fireflies, but also see the lights of thousands of homes in the village, the rolling mountains behind the village, and the moon hanging above the mountains.

The moonlight in the sky, the lights of the village, and the glow of fireflies in front of us—three kinds of light intertwined.

It not only creates a beautiful, dreamlike landscape, but also evokes the softest emotions in everyone's heart.

Everyone has different feelings upon seeing this scene.

City kids found it novel, having never seen fireflies before; rural kids felt nostalgic, having never seen fireflies since they grew up.

Older people will feel it more deeply.

At this moment, Jiang Yifeng thought of his childhood and felt very nostalgic.

He reached out and plucked a leaf, put it to his lips and began to play, and the tune of Eutopia began to play.

The pitch of a tune played on a leaf may be poor, but this simple and primitive "instrument" can produce the most innocent and pure music, making it most suitable for this occasion.

When Jiang Yifeng played the chorus, the melodious tune seemed to pull everyone back to their childhood, creating a beautiful scene when combined with the beautiful scenery before them.

There were hardly any comments left in the live stream; everyone was enjoying this wonderful moment.

Even the fireflies seemed to sense the romance.

Two fireflies landed on Jiang Yifeng's arm, flashing as if responding to the rustling of the leaves.

The task of cultivating fireflies was one of the main tasks announced at the very beginning of the "Let's Farm" program.

Today's daytime event is a trainee competition, and tonight we'll be searching for fireflies. The live stream content was announced in advance.

Therefore, the number of online viewers in the live stream is increasing at this time.

When Jiang Yifeng played the second chorus, the number of viewers in the live stream finally exceeded 1000 million!
Although this figure may be somewhat inflated, it still sets a new record.

At least several million people watched the beautiful sight of fireflies dancing in the sky and heard Jiang Yifeng play the beautiful melody of Eutopia with leaves in the live broadcast room.

As the live stream progressed, this scene became one of the most iconic moments in the "Farming Boys" series, remembered and talked about by many.

As the person involved, Jiang Yifeng was enjoying this wonderful night.

When the performance ended, he turned to look at Jing Tian beside him, and the two smiled at each other, everything understood without words.

The viewers in the live stream were praising it wildly.

"President Jiang is a genius! He can play music just by picking a leaf!"

"When Eutopia's song came on, it reminded me of 'Back to 20,' but the leafy music was a completely different experience."

"Isn't 'Back to 20' a film that Director Jiang made for his mother who died young? It's obvious that Director Jiang was a bit sentimental."

"It's normal to think of my childhood when I see the beautiful sight of fireflies, and I was reminded of the past as well."

"President Jiang is truly amazing; the quality of this live broadcast is exceptionally high."

"The visuals and music just now were so healing. Perhaps the people we miss have turned into fireflies and come back to see us."

"Why make it so sentimental? This should be the most romantic moment. Jing Tian's eyes are practically drooling when she looks at Jiang Yifeng!"

……

After Jiang Yifeng finished playing the music, he began filming various scenes of fireflies, and also included Jing Tian in the shots, taking many beautiful photos of her.

After the filming was finished, Jingtian pestered him to learn how to play tunes on leaves. They played until 10:30 p.m., when the fireflies had dwindled, before everyone went home.

The journey back was rather boring, so Jiang Yifeng started interacting with the viewers in the live stream.

"I saw many people in the comments asking, 'If you want to invite someone you like out to see fireflies, what sweet words should you say?'"
This is very simple. You can prepare some lines in advance, such as, "You and fireflies have one thing in common: you both glow in my eyes."

For example, "The firefly met the moonlight, and I met you."

Saying these words at the right time can quickly escalate a relationship.

As soon as Jiang Yifeng said this, the live stream chat was filled with comments like "666, as expected of Jiang Yifeng".

But then the tone suddenly changed, and all the questions were: "So what did you just say to Jing Tian?"

Seeing the screen full of questions, Jiang Yifeng smiled but did not answer.

Instead, Jing Tian leaned in front of the camera and said sweetly, "He just told me: The light of a firefly is short, but our story is long."

Jiang Yifeng: "..."

Some things are fine to say in private, but it can be awkward to bring them up in public.

Jing Tian was just too eager to show off her love, so she said it in a boastful tone.

While viewers were treated to a dose of romance, they also enjoyed the gossip.

In particular, there were many fans of the couple Jiang Yifeng and Jing Tian in the live stream. Their couple name was "Scenery First Sweetness", or simply "Scenery".

Jing Tian was very happy today, and enjoyed the sweetness of love amidst the romantic atmosphere of fireflies.

But at this very moment, Naza, Liu Yifei, and others are watching the live stream.

They all had objections.

Especially Nazar, who always considered herself the boss's wife, could accept Jiang Yifeng having other women, but she could not accept losing her position as the main wife.

At this moment, Nazar was already thinking of a solution, and the harem group was very lively.

Meanwhile, a lively incident occurred in the trainees' dormitory.

After finishing their evening classes, the trainees get their phones and can post on Weibo to check on what's happening outside.

This is the most pleasant moment of their day.

Cai Xukun, Wang Yibo, and others originally aimed to become singing and dancing idols and were following EXO's situation. They all followed Wu Qian and Lu Han on Weibo.

So when I browsed Weibo, I saw the two posts Wu Qian made during the day.

Cai Xukun burst out laughing, and said sarcastically, "Haha, Wu Qian is such a clown!"

He first posted a Weibo message, "I'm Back," but not many people paid attention to him.

Seeing that his previous Weibo posts had gone down in the comments, he posted another one in Chinese, saying that he had returned from Korea, but it still didn't get much attention, and even his fans didn't like it much.

Hahaha, this is hilarious! This is a classic case of trying desperately to save face, but ultimately failing! A real slap in the face!

The term "saving face" is currently in use.

Cai Xukun's description was spot on; Wu Qian's two consecutive Weibo posts were indeed a failure to save face.

Wang Yibo also saw Wu Qian's Weibo post and joined Cai Xukun in mocking him.

The two even started acting it out in their dorm room.

When Xu Kun played Wu Qian, he covered his mouth with his hand under his nose and said in a pretentious, aloof tone, "I'm Back!"

Wang Yibo plays an illiterate man, simply stiffening his neck and remaining silent.

Cai Xukun panicked and roared, "I'm back! I'm back! I'm back!!! I'm back, you know that? I'm back!!!!"

Wang Yibo's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked blankly, "And then?"

Cai Xukun immediately lost his temper, throwing things and yelling, "The locals are so rude! They can't even understand English! I said I'm back, I, the big star Wu Qian, am back from Korea!"

Wang Yibo: "And then?"

Cai Xukun: "..."

Xu Kun, looking speechless, finally revealed a strained expression when facing the camera.

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

When the performance ended, the other trainees in the dormitory could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.

It has to be said that Cai Xukun and Wang Yibo's performance was really hilarious, and their mockery of Wu Qian was off the charts.

They still thought the live stream camera was on Jiang Yifeng's side.

Unaware that the production team was up to something, they had already switched the live stream camera back.

The entire process of the trainees mocking Wu Qian was broadcast live.

Wu Qian, who was watching the live stream, was so angry that he was trembling all over!
The same goes for Wu Qian's die-hard fans.

His fans are called Meigeni, which originated from a Weibo post Wu Qian made in 2012: "I like you, every one of you."

Megni is a homophone for "everyone you".

In order to avenge her brother, the Meigeni fans began to take action, and their first target was Cai Xukun's Weibo account.

Although Wu Qian has just returned to China, there are quite a few fans of hers in the country.

Because they frequently engage in battles with groups like Lu Han's fans (Luwei) and Zhang Yixing's fans (Beike), their fighting power is quite strong, and their organizational and mobilization abilities are also quite good.

But this time, Meigeni (Cai Xukun's fans) got the short end of the stick when they commented on Cai Xukun's Weibo post.

First, there was the defection of peripheral fans.

The core members of the Meigeni fan club were indignant and wanted to fight for their brother and teach Cai Xukun a lesson, but the larger number of peripheral fans did not listen to them.

These fans are either not so crazy "shallow believers" or have only recently become fans of Wu Qian.

Many of them watched "Farming Boys" and quite liked Xu Kun's character.

Therefore, they were unwilling to participate in this battle.

Internal disunity led to a decrease in the number of Megan's followers.

In comparison, Cai Xukun has a large number of fans. Originally, the number of IKUNs was more than that of Meigeni. In addition, the fans of Wang Yibo and other trainees are united against the enemy, as well as the support of a large number of casual viewers.

Wu Qian's fans were severely beaten.

Their attacks on Cai Xukun's Weibo were easily drowned out by a flood of other comments.

On the contrary, Wu Qian's Weibo account was completely flooded with identical messages.

"I'm back! I'm back! I'm back!!! Do you know that? Why is nobody paying attention to me?"

"And then, and then, and then!"

Megnie was beaten so badly that she had to run away with her head in her hands, unable to show her face at all, because if she did, she would be cursed at.

Some fans even cried in the group: "They're so mean! IKUN and Yabo are so mean! I got scolded so badly, waaaaah~"

Meigeni's attempt to go to war backfired and she was criticized instead, while Wu Qian became the target of ridicule across the internet.

"Is this the top boy band member who came back from Korea? I'm back! And then what?"

"Haha, does Wu Qian think he's Jordan? He even said 'I'm Back'."

"Wu Qian must have thought that he would sweep everything away when he returned to the domestic entertainment industry, but he didn't expect to be taught a lesson on the spot."

"Forget about Korean boy bands! Although I hate idol stars, I support our homegrown idol stars even more!"

Seeing the fans' cries and the ridicule from the entire internet, Wu Qian was so angry that she smashed her water cup and keyboard at home.

This is outrageous! How could China's top celebrities be so mean? They ganged up on me, someone who just returned from abroad!
But smashing things won't help; all that's left is impotent rage.

Just then, Lu Han sent Wu a message.

"How has it been since you returned to China? Is everything going smoothly?"

Seeing Wu Qian return to China, Lu Han was also tempted. He also wanted to return to China, so he inquired about the situation from Wu Qian.

Among the four who returned to China, Lu Han is the type who can chat with anyone.

Upon seeing this message, Wu Qian felt a pang of sadness and almost burst into tears.

He replied excitedly, "Don't come back! Please don't come back! The Chinese entertainment industry... the Chinese entertainment industry is too evil!"

When Lu Han, who was far away in Korea, saw Wu Qian's message, she was completely dumbfounded.

Is the Chinese entertainment industry really that bad?
What does it mean?
