Chapter 82 There’s no way, the other side gave too much (Ch 82)

“The life you long for?”

Qi Jia was slightly stunned. He seldom watched variety shows. When he first heard the name, it sounded a bit literary.

“Yes, this is a slow-paced rural life variety show produced by Fruit Channel. This time we are looking for you to record the second season.

There will be four permanent guests each season, and three more guests will be invited to each episode.

We all live together in a house called Mushroom House, experiencing a self-sufficient and independent lifestyle. ”

Seeing that Qi Jia really didn’t know him, Chen Yuwen briefly introduced him, and then added,

“But this episode is a little different. Originally, it was recorded in one day, but this time the production team said they wanted to organize a rural banquet, so this episode will be recorded in two days.”

Qi Jia didn’t say anything immediately after hearing this, but was thinking,

Several celebrities appear in my mind, arguing in front of the camera, whether to put the eggs or the oil in first when frying eggs?

Everyone held their own opinions and argued non-stop, but no one suggested whether they should light a fire to heat the pot first.

“If you don’t like it, I’ll help you push it?”

Chen Yuwen knew what Qi Jia was thinking by looking at his expression, so he asked tentatively.

“Okay, let’s push it then.”

Qi Jia didn’t hesitate and nodded in agreement. He felt that with this time, he might as well take a look at the scripts of the next films to be filmed.

He agreed readily, but Chen Yuwen was reluctant to do so.

“I really want to refuse, but they give me a lot~”

“Oh, a lot?”

This sentence aroused Qi Jia’s interest, and he subconsciously asked,

“Seven million per episode!”

Chen Yuwen stretched out two fingers and gestured.

“Fuck! Why are there so many?”

Qi Jia was really surprised. He didn’t expect that filming variety shows could make so much money. No wonder so many celebrities like variety shows!

“Well, variety shows are different from movies. They mainly depend on popularity. With your current popularity and status, seven million per episode is a normal price.”

Chen Yuwen was not surprised at all and nodded calmly.

“Ahem, just accept it. After all, they are so sincere.”

Qi Jia rubbed his nose and went back on his word. There was nothing he could do as the other party gave him too much.

…

After leaving the company, Qi Jia went straight home.

“The Longing for Life 2” will start recording in a week. While he has time, he wants to see how the show is filmed.

After watching a few episodes of the first season, he felt that it was actually OK, although not too amazing.

But it’s okay to use it as an electronic pickled mustard greens to go with rice.

Actually, there wasn’t much work to do. When the guests arrived, they basically just helped pick vegetables and chatted.

They said it was an experience of rural life, but it was a shabby experience. They rarely even went to the fields. But for fans, just being able to see their idol was enough.

A week later,

Qi Jia carried a bag and took the high-speed train from Shanghai to the filming location of “Longing for Life 2”, Tonglu County, Yangzhou.

More than two hours later, he walked out of the high-speed rail station and got on the special car prepared by the program team.

In addition to the driver, there was also a photographer in the car who was responsible for shooting some behind-the-scenes footage.

At nine o’clock in the morning, we arrived at the entrance of Tonglu Village and the driver stopped the car.

The staff member sitting in the passenger seat turned around and said,

“Brother Qi, you will have to go inside next. Our camera will follow you.”

Qi Jia nodded, said thank you, then got out of the car and walked towards the mushroom house with the camera.

In the early morning sunshine, the village is filled with mist and the fields on both sides of the cement road are full of green vegetables.

The newly planted seedlings are still a little yellow and are trying hard to grow and take root.

In the foggy mountain village, you can faintly hear the barking of dogs in the village.

Some villagers who got up early were busy picking vegetables and watering the fields.

Qi Jia walked all the way to the door of the mushroom house and heard someone talking in the yard. He reached out and knocked on the door.

“A guest is here. Peng Peng, go open the door.”

There was a knock on the door, and someone inside said something. Another person answered, and then I heard footsteps coming towards the door.

Squeak~

As the wooden door opened, the visitor was stunned when he saw Qi Jia, then he covered his mouth with his hands with an exaggerated expression.

“Fuck! So smart!”

“Hello, I’m this time’s guest Qi Jia.”

Qi Jia smiled and politely extended his hand to shake the other person’s hand.

“Hello, hello, I’m Peng Yuchang, I’m your idol, no, I’m your fan, the movie you starred in, The Richest Man in Xihong City, is so good.”

Peng Yuchang excitedly held Qi Jia’s hand and spoke incoherently.

“Thank you. ‘Flash Girl’ is also very good. I really like the part where you play the drums. So cool~”

Qi Jia’s words were very true, not a compliment. He had actually watched it several times, and to be honest, it was indeed a good movie.

Unfortunately, when it was released last year, due to publicity and promotion issues, the box office was dismal.

The director was so upset that he led his team to kneel down and beg theaters to increase the number of screenings. The film became quite a hot topic online at the time.

This is very similar to the experience of Nobody, the difference is that Nobody made a comeback at the box office in the end, but Flash Girl did not.

“Peng Peng, stop standing at the door, let the guests in and talk.”

Huang Lei, who was picking vegetables in the yard, shouted, and Peng Yuchang reacted and quickly invited Qi Jia in.

“Hello, Mr. He, Mr. Huang Lei. I am this time’s guest, Qi Jia.”

“Hello, come and sit down.”

“You are the first guest of our Mushroom House today. Tell me, what would you like to have for breakfast?”

He Jiong and Huang Lei also waved at Qi Jia and said with a smile.

“It’s all fine. I’m not picky about food.” Qi Jia said.

“Okay, then you chat with Mr. He and Mr. Peng for a while. I’ll go make breakfast.”

After Huang Lei finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the kitchen with the picked vegetables.

“Qi Jia, we are going to prepare a farm dinner for 20 people tomorrow to treat the villagers to a meal, so after all the guests arrive, we will need everyone to help prepare the ingredients. We men may have to work harder then.”

He Jiong said with a smile while picking vegetables.

“I understand, Mr. He. Just tell me what work you want me to do. I can do any job.”

Qi Jia nodded and said.

After chatting for a few minutes, Huang Lei came out and said.

“Qi Jia, there are a lot of guests today, and we don’t have enough eggs. Can you and Peng Peng go and exchange 20 eggs for the villagers?”

In the program, guests are not allowed to use money. If they want supplies, they can only exchange them for goods or work for the villagers.

“No problem, Mr. Huang Lei.”

Qi Jia stood up decisively and nodded in agreement.

“Qi Jia, the room is on the second floor. You can put down your backpack first before going out.” He Jiong reminded.

The mushroom house in this issue is a two-story building.

The first floor is the activity room and kitchen, and the second floor has three rooms. Qi Jia estimates that he will have to sleep on a large bunk bed tonight.

I went up to the second floor and put my backpack away. As soon as I walked out, the door opposite happened to open at this moment, and a very Korean-looking boy walked out.

It looked like he had just woken up, and he was still a little unresponsive when he saw Qi Jia.

“Hello, I am today’s guest Qi Jia.”

This should be the fourth resident guest Liu Xianhua. Qi Jia greeted him.

Liu Xianhua, who debuted in South Korea, is the most popular and has the most fans among the four permanent guests.

In the show, he plays the role of a tone-deaf person, responsible for being cool and artistic, and often plays a violin~

“Hello, I’m Liu Xianhua.”

Liu Xianhua didn’t know Qi Jia, and there was nothing much to talk about with a man, so he just responded lightly and left.

Qi Jia didn’t care. He went downstairs and followed Peng Yuchang out to look for eggs.
