Chapter 137 Do Audiences Like This Kind of Show?

"Hey, Xiao Le, do you think we have to name this farmhouse?"

The next afternoon, in the small farmyard at the foot of Mount Manau.

He Tong, Xu Zhenzhen and Dong Xiaopeng had already arrived early in the morning, everything was ready, and the first recording of "Longing for Life" will start soon.

Before starting the machine, Hong Sanshi suddenly asked Fang Xiaole this sentence.

"I remember that apart from corn and vegetables, there seems to be an orange grove on the mountain, right?"

Fang Xiaole thought for a while, then asked Zhang Zhiqin beside him.

"Yes, I went to pick two in the morning, they are quite sweet."

Zhang Zhiqin replied.

"Well, the shape of our farmhouse is a bit round, like an orange. Brother Hong, Brother Luo, why don't we call it an orange house?"

Fang Xiaole said to Hong Sanshi, and at the same time asked for Luo Hui's opinion.

"Orange House? That's a good name, Zhang Zhiqin, remember to remind me to add this name in the post-production."

Luo Hui thought it was very good, and planned to give the small courtyard the name "Orange House" in the later stage.

"Hello, Orange House, my old Hong is here!"

Hong Sanshi ran towards the "Orange House" affectionately with small small steps, nimbly like a 180-jin fat man, which caused the other guests and program crew to burst into laughter.

However, the old naughty boy stopped laughing soon.

The recording of the program started. Hong Sanshi and He Tong, two middle-aged uncles, walked up from the bottom of Mount Manau together. After climbing for a while, they reached the foot of the mountain and saw the farmhouse.

"Huh, this small courtyard is not bad!"

Hong Sanshi pushed open the courtyard door, looked around, and praised.

"What kind of flower is this? It's very beautiful!"

He Tong also walked in, and said in surprise when he saw many small flowers blooming on the vines covering the wall.

"There's a swing over there.

"

Hong Sanshi walked into the gazebo in the courtyard, walked to the swing, turned his head and shouted to He Tong:

"Hey, Mr. He, give me a push."

As he said that, he was about to sit on the swing.

"Teacher Hong, take it easy, don't let someone else sit down and collapse, we rent this house from the landlord."

He Tong hurried up to stop Hong Sanshi, his chubby figure was like a big bear riding a toy car compared to the swing.

"What? Rented it? I thought it was repaired by your Apple platform. Why are you so poor that you don't have the money to repair a house?"

Hong Sanshi was aware of the financial difficulties faced by the program group, so he complained half-truthfully.

Many staff members couldn't help laughing, and only Mr. Hong's level dared to make such complaints about the leader of Apple TV.

The camera followed the two of them to visit the small courtyard and the farmhouse, and then Xu Zhenzhen and Dong Xiaopeng appeared.

The four guests are all acquaintances, and they chatted quickly. At this time, Fang Xiaole said outside the camera:

"Welcome the four of you to Orange House, where we will experience farm life for three months."

Hong Sanshi asked: "Director, there is no rice or food in this room, it's almost night, what should we eat?"

Fang Xiaole replied: "All the ingredients must be obtained through everyone's labor."

"Get it through labor?" The four guests were taken aback.

Fang Xiaole continued: "There are corn fields and orange groves on the mountain. Everyone can exchange the picked corn and oranges for other food."

"This is easy, I'll pick it right away!"

Dong Xiaopeng is about to go out as soon as he rolls up his sleeves. He is of medium build, with a slightly round face and a simple and honest smile. He looks like a real person.

"Wait a minute, Xiao Peng, don't worry."

Hong Sanshi hurriedly grabbed the honest boy, Fang Xiaole asked:

"Then what kind of exchange method?"

Zhang Zhiqin immediately handed over something similar to a "price list", and the four guests took a look and were a little dizzy.

"Two hundred corns for half a catty of meat, ten catties of oranges for half a catty of rice, one hundred corns for a bottle of soy sauce and a bag of salt..."

Hong Sanshi raised his head and stared at Fang Xiaole: "You have to trade corn for soy sauce, aren't you too cruel?"

Fang Xiaole said with a smile:

"One more thing to remind everyone, this yard is rented to us by the landlord, because the program team is short of funds, and the rent has not been paid yet, but we have negotiated with the landlord, as long as we help him pick two thousand corns, we can pay the rent !"

Xu Zhenzhen counted with his fingers: "Two hundred corns are half a catty of meat, and one thousand corns are five catties of meat. It's not expensive! Five catties of meat can cover the rent."

Dong Xiaopeng immediately got motivated, and rolled up his sleeves again: "Come on, let's go pick up two thousand corns!"

"Okay, Ollie!" Xu Zhenzhen was also very motivated.

"Wait a minute." He Tong held the two silly children dumbfounded.

Hong Sanshi was speechless: "Are you stupid? Is this how you calculate the accounts? Two thousand corns are so easy to pick, director, please less, eight hundred."

Pooh!

As soon as Hong Sanshi opened his mouth, he gave more than half of it, and many people burst out laughing, but fortunately, these voiceovers can be dealt with in the later stage.

"two thousand."

Fang Xiaole is stern and selfless.

The bargaining failed, and the four of them finally decided to ignore the rent for the time being and settle their lunch at noon today.

Next, Hong Sanshi and He Tong were in charge of collecting firewood to build the stove, while Dong Xiaopeng and Xu Zhenzhen were in charge of picking corn and changing the ingredients.

After tossing for several hours, around six o'clock in the evening, several guests finally had a mouthful of hot rice.

Fortunately, Hong Sanshi's culinary skills are excellent, the dishes he cooked were delicious, and everyone ate them with great relish.

After eating, wash the dishes and clean up the stove.

The four of them sat in the gazebo, blowing the evening breeze, chatting casually about their own interesting things, and just like that, it was soon past ten o'clock in the evening.

"Let's go, tired all day, go to bed."

"OK."

The four of them walked into the orange house and returned to the room they had allocated before.

The three men shared a bunk, and Xu Zhenzhen shared a room alone.

Several follow-up photographers followed into the bedroom and filmed for a while, until the guests turned off the lights and went to bed, the recording of the first episode was over.

"The first episode has been recorded so quickly, why does it feel like it's over without recording anything?"

Some people went to sleep in the village at the foot of the mountain. The program team rented a few houses with fellow villagers in advance, while the director team, locations, and photography set up simple tents inside and outside the small courtyard.

Zhang Zhiqin was a little dazed. It was hard work recording "Super Challenge" before, but now I feel like I just finished one episode of "Longing for Life".

"Brother Fang, do you think the audience likes to watch shows like ours?"

Zhang Zhiqin and Fang Xiaole slept in the same tent, he couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, and finally couldn't help but turned sideways to ask Fang Xiaole.

In fact, it's not just him, other staff members of the program group have the same question in their hearts.

Even Luo Hui, the chief director, murmured quietly, but he couldn't say it directly, for fear of hurting morale.

No way, everyone has never seen this type of variety show before.

There are no market lessons to learn from!

snore~ snort~

However, his answer was a series of snores.

Zhang Zhiqin was speechless, gotta go to sleep!

I was about to go to sleep, but found that I received a WeChat friend request on my phone.

The other party introduced himself: "I'm Mo Yan, pass right away!"
