Chapter 88: A Good Story Doesn’t Have To Fear Obscurity

“Director, I’m not a god. You don’t have to worship me.” Meng Chuyuan was amused by Director Luo’s agitated reaction.

When the director came to his senses, he realized that he had been a little rude. He quickly put his hand down.

The director might have somehow resonated with her, so he could not help but complain to Meng Chuyuan.

“I’ve done a lot of variety shows over the years, but there hasn’t been any one that took off. It wasn’t easy for me to make up my mind to do this pastoral centered slow-paced variety show, and only then did the situation improve a little. That’s why I really want to continue doing this variety show well.”

“I really like it when you convey positive energy to the audience,” Meng Chuyuan said calmly. “Director, you have to have some confidence in yourself.”

Now that everyone’s living conditions had improved, many young people might not know that some places were so poor that they could not eat or wear warm clothes, so the director began to make the first season of the variety show.

At that time, the director was not confident. He was worried that this kind of rural variety show did not suit the audience’s aesthetic standards.

Fortunately, this was the era of new media. They could promote and raise awareness about the show through live-streams and then reflect real village life to the audience.

After the Variety show slowly took off, advertisers took the initiative to look for them and were willing to sponsor their show. Some famous bloggers also began to help promote the show for free, achieving very good results.

Director: “Teacher Meng, you might not know this, but if the guests on this variety show are all amateurs, I can guarantee that no one will watch this show.”

Although the celebrity guests invited by the production team this season could not be considered A-list celebrities, they could still be considered small celebrities. Coupled with the support of the previous season’s popularity, the director was indeed a little arrogant at the beginning.

After two episodes of filming observation, the director discovered a more serious problem.

The celebrities and guests he had spent money on were all from good backgrounds. They had not suffered much and were not very capable. If anyone who had been through this saw them, they would definitely think that these celebrities were squeamish.

On one hand, he had to do this for the sake of popularity, but on the other hand, he still wanted to make good content for the variety show.

It wasn’t that easy for him to achieve these two goals.

Meng Chuyuan saw that he was full of negative energy and casually said, “Director, as long as you ensure that the content of the variety show is good, you won’t have to be afraid that there won’t be an audience to watch it.”

She knew the director’s concerns. He was just afraid that the variety show he had worked so hard on would be abandoned by the new media and big data.

The director pondered over Meng Chuyuan’s words seriously. He knew the logic behind it, but he could not leave behind his worries.

Seeing that the director did not speak for a long time, Meng Chuyuan kindly reminded him, “Director, the more you care about some things, the more troubling they become.”

Meng Chuyuan also went online. She knew that after she appeared on this variety show, she had become a little popular online. Perhaps the director valued this and wanted her to stay and continue to accumulate popularity for the variety show.

She just wanted the director to understand that if she really stopped filming one day, there was no need to harp on this matter.

A good story never has to fear obscurity.

After careful consideration, the director felt that he was not as clear-headed as a young lady. He was really a little ashamed.

After a long time, the director sighed softly. He looked up at Meng Chuyuan and said, “Teacher Meng, thank you for telling me this.”

Meng Chuyuan said, “I’m just saying, don’t feel pressured.”

“I have to go back and reflect on myself and seriously think about who to find for the next episode.”

Hearing the director’s worried tone, Meng Chuyuan asked curiously, “There are still special guests in the next episode?”

The director shook his head and said, “No, Qi Zhen said that he wants to take two days off. I have to find someone to replace him.”

He would not consider special guests for the time being. After all, he had to pay them for the filming fees. If he had the spare money, he might as well do a better variety show.

When Meng Chuyuan heard this, she suddenly pointed at Ting Jiu, who was playing games at the back. “Look for him. Look at how free he is.”

The director looked to the side and frowned. “Ting Jiu?”

“Who called me?” Ting Jiu suddenly raised his head and met the director’s gaze.

“Director, why are you looking for me?”

The director looked at the candidate in front of him and smiled. “I’m looking for a guest for the next episode. I want to ask if you’re free?”

Tingjiu nodded. “I’m free.”

He had not been competing recently, so his training was more relaxed.

When the director saw him nod, the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously. He looked at Ting Jiu expectantly. “Then will you come for a few days to film for the next episode?”

Jiu agreed readily. “Sure, I’ll tell the coach later.”

When they arrived at the airport, everyone bought tickets and sat in the waiting room to wait.

Luo Yunzhou was not on the same route as them. He had bought a flight a little earlier, so he said goodbye to everyone as soon as he arrived at the airport.

The director and the others also had a fixed flight route and were rushing to do other variety shows. In the end, only the remaining guests stayed at the airport.

Liao Jiake was accompanied by Xu Zeyi, so the number of heads turned was 100%. After some passers-by recognized them, they even secretly took photos.

Meng Chuyuan did not interact much with the two of them, but today, she saw that Xu Zeyi was indeed a little concerned about Liao Jiake. In a while, he would ask her if she was thirsty or tired, which made the people around him envious.

After an unknown period of time, Xu Zeyi’s phone rang. Then, he separated from Liao Jiake for a while.

Xu Zeyi took out his phone and showed it to Liao Jiake. He said gently, “Baby, I’ll take this call first.

She nodded and said, “Okay, go quickly.”

After getting Liao Jiake’s permission, he stood up and went to the side to answer the call.

Liao Jiake asked worriedly, “What is it?”

“I have a commercial event in Yun Cheng tomorrow. I forgot. My manager

asked me to go over quickly.”

Xu Zeyi took his coat and plane ticket from the chair and said to Liao Jiake, go change the tickets first. I’ll go home after the event tomorrow.”

Liao Jiake nodded gently. “Okay. Be careful on the road and take care of yourself.”

Meng Chuyuan was using her phone. When she saw Xu Zeyi leave, she slowly raised her head. Her gaze landed on Liao Jiake and she sized her up for a while. Why did she feel that these sisters relied on their husbands a little too much?

Could it be her imagination?

Liao Jiake watched Xu Zeyi leave and watched as his silhouette disappeared into the crowd. Only then was she willing to retract her gaze. In the end, she accidentally met Meng Chuyuan’s gaze.

She realized that Meng Chuyuan was also looking at her. Liao Jiake smiled awkwardly and said embarrassedly, “Did I affect you just now?”

Meng Chuyuan smiled and said, “No.”

Liao Jiake felt that she and Xu Zeyi must have affected her. Moreover, there were rumors on the Internet that Meng Chuyuan was an abandoned wife of a wealthy family, so she looked at Meng Chuyuan apologetically. “I’m sorry, I haven’t seen my husband for too long.”

“It’s okay, I understand.” Meng Chuyuan’s smile was very tolerant and infectious. There was no problem at all..
