Chapter 916: Are You Only Good At Talking And Not Doing Anything Yourself?

“But what’s the use of starting the livestream early now? The guests are not ready yet,” Zhenzhang said helplessly.

On their side, the guests were not necessarily more popular than those on “Mother-In-Law Is Here,” but each of them had a high status.

It was impossible to get the guests to film ahead of time. They directly slapped the contract on their faces, indicating that they would film according to the time stated in the contract.

“Let’s stick to the original plan.” Zhenzhang pinched his glabella.

He had originally thought that his program would not be bad if it was compared to ‘Mother-In-Law Is Here.’

In fact, with his experience in variety shows, was he not as good as Kejia?

He knew that Kejia was able to invite Hanbi and Jiang Xun.

He didn’t expect Jiang Xun to be so dedicated to filming a variety show even though she had successfully advanced to the A-list and was no longer the D-list celebrity she used to be.

She woke up early in the morning to contribute to the number of online viewers for the variety show.

Before Jiang Xun started the practice session, she looked at the staff outside the camera and called out to everyone. “Everyone, let’s do it together.

Especially for those working on the show, your work and rest is very irregular. It’s common for you to stay up all night, so you should pay more attention to our health. It’s not good for the body to work out after work. Instead, it’s a very dangerous thing. However, Eight Brocades Qigong focuses on strengthening the body and paying more attention to health, so there’s not much exercise. It’s not considered strenuous exercise. You’ve been sitting for too long, so it’s very suitable for you to practice this.”

Jiang Xun waved at them. “The cameramen can set up the camera in place. All of our guests are here anyway. There’s no need to follow them. It’s fine to use a fixed camera.”

“We’ll practice together here. The others don’t have to do anything for the time being.” Jiang Xun waved at them. “You usually stay up late to do post-production and have meetings. The cameramen carry their cameras every day and have their own fixed positions. How can your muscles not hurt after a

long time? Practice with me, hurry up.”

[Good fellow, Sister Xun is not only training with the guests, but also the entire production team.]

[Don’t say it. Jiang Xun is right. The cameramen usually either carry their cameras or bend down to shoot. They have to adjust their positions from various angles, and they have to maintain fixed positions for a long time to find a suitable angle. After a long time, they would definitely feel all kinds of discomfort.]

[Yes, it’s uncomfortable for us to sit for a long time, let alone the cameramen.]

[The production team usually stays up late at night or even overnight. They sit in front of the computer and edit without moving. Sitting for a long time would cause back pain, and there would definitely be diseases such as carpal tunnel.]

[The production team should listen to Sister Xun. It’s not wrong to train with her.]

[Yeah, look at how healthy she is. She can eat, sleep, and play.]

[I’m dying of laughter. Although this description is very funny, it’s indeed very appropriate.]

Thus, the audience saw a very spectacular and somewhat comical scene.

Everyone in the production team, from the director to the cameramen, to the post-production colleagues, all followed behind Jiang Xun and the guests to practice.

Because the village chief’s small courtyard was not enough, Jiang Xun had specially gone out to find an empty space.

The good thing was that although the countryside did not have much, there was plenty of land.

There was a large open space behind the village chief’s house. There was no need to bother looking for it. It was just a right turn outside the door.

Thus, the audience saw that the empty space was filled with guests and the production team’s staff.

Jiang Xun stood at the front and led them to do the Eight Brocades Qigong.

Because it was fixed in this place, there was indeed no need to change the camera position or anything.

Even the director had been dragged over by Jiang Xun to practice.

Some children who were going to school passed by. After last night’s interaction, they were no longer so shy with the production team and guests.

They started training together.

When Zhenzhang saw this scene, he did not know what to say.

Hehe, Jiang Xun really knows how to play!

Next time, he would also look for Jiang Xun!

If you can’t beat them, join them!

After the exercise, the guests went to the school canteen for breakfast according to the script.

“The production team did not ask the school to give special treatment to the guests and give them different breakfasts,” Kejia said. “The original intention of us coming here to film is to let the audience see the children’s daily learning and life. We must make it realistic.”

“Moreover, with Gantai Village’s situation, it’s probably impossible to give special treatment to the guests.”

“Wouldn’t that empty their resources?”

Hence, the guests chatted all the way to school.

The canteen was very small, just a small hut.

As there were not many students, the small hut was enough.

There were a few tables and chairs inside. When the guests arrived, the children and the teacher happened to bring breakfast over.

There was limited space in the school. Other than the classrooms, this so-called canteen was also a place that had been vacated with great difficulty.

The kitchen was not big.

It would be dangerous for the children to eat in the kitchen.

Therefore, every time, the children and the teachers would bring the food here and distribute it to everyone.

Atter introducing themselves to the teachers, the camera was aimed at the children’s food.

There was a pot of millet porridge, steamed buns, eggs, and salted vegetables.

“Do the children eat these every day?” Qiuwei asked.

The teacher nodded. “The porridge will vary. It’s mainly rice porridge and millet porridge. Each person has a steamed bun, an egg, and a small plate of salted vegetables. The porridge can be refilled.”

“How much does this meal cost?” Xingle asked.

“It’s free. Our school is sponsored by Qin Yang. Three meals a day are included and provided to the children for free. Although the variety is not extensive, it can ensure that the children are full and it can supplement a certain amount of nutrition. There might not be any big fish or meat, but there’s also nutritional balance.”

For example, one egg per person per day was not bad in Gantai Village.

Even in the villagers’ homes, not everyone could eat eggs every day.

The eggs had to be saved and sold in town. The head of the family, the main labor force in the family, could eat an egg each, but others could not.

[Qin Yang is being too stingy, just giving the children this little.]

[Upfront, you’re really good at criticizing others. Are you only good at talking and not doing anything yourself?]

[Don’t you think about how remote Gantai Village is? Transporting food and other supplies there doesn’t come cheap, you know?]

[Moreover, Qin Yang isn’t just funding one primary school in Gantai Village. Do you want to find out how many schools Qin Yang is supporting?]

[Qin Yang doesn’t just provide food for the children. They’re also responsible for finding teachers, paying them their salaries, and building schools. These all cost money, you know?]

[Besides, Qin Yang’s charity doesn’t just support schools.]

The guests also scooped a bowl of porridge, but they only took steamed buns and small salted vegetables. They did not take the eggs.

“Let’s leave the eggs for the children to have for lunch or dinner,” Hanbi said..
