Even After My Death-Chapter 681 - 581
Chapter 681: Chapter 581
It was pretty much as the audience had expected.
The celebrity guests standing at the village entrance were far from calm right now.
"This... this is the place we’re going to stay at from now on?" Yuan Xingyao was dumbfounded.
"Director..." Chen Yunlu looked back at Shen Zha, then at the barren village before them, and the expressions of those present were hesitant.
Actually, the celebrity guests only found out today that the location chosen by the production team was so remote!
When signing the contract earlier, Shen Zha mentioned the show would be broadcast live, so there were no scripts given, focusing on authenticity!
He just kindly reminded them to brush up on their rural life knowledge, as it might come in handy.
With that said, the guests naturally assumed it might be just another ordinary rural farming reality show, only using a live broadcast format.
It was not until today when they got off the plane and into the production’s car that they sensed something was amiss.
As per the production team’s request, they took a flight | high-speed train to the designated county town yesterday.
The production team was quite punctual, arranging for a vehicle to pick them up early this morning.
But then!
After getting into the production’s car, an hour passed, then two hours, three hours... who would expect to take four to five hours to go from the county town to the filming location!
If they didn’t know this was a legitimate production team and had signed a contract.
They might suspect they’d been kidnapped and taken somewhere remote to be sold!
Before seeing the whole view of the village, the guests still held a bit of anticipation in their hearts.
Maybe this village is just a bit remote, the road a bit rough, who knows, maybe the production team secretly prepared some surprises here, like excellent accommodation...
Until now, standing at the village entrance, looking at the rows of old mud-brick houses ahead, their hopeful hearts finally sank.
The camera zoomed from afar, and the audience saw the state of the village earlier than the guests did.
The village wasn’t large, houses were scattered all around the place.
These mud houses, rarely seen in big cities, were the most common here, and even some tile-roofed houses and wooden small pavilions from bygone eras existed, albeit less in number.
When viewed through the screen, it might seem far from the city, picturesque, but to actually live in such a place, only those who do know how it feels.
The audience in front of their screens began to feel a little schadenfreude.
Shen Zha, knowing full well the guests’ reluctance, still asked with a smile, "How is it? Isn’t this village nice? After searching for two months, we found this great place for the show."
The guests: ... Okay, you’re the director, it’s your call.
"Jiang Ning, where do you plan to stay? Can I stick with you?" Hao Meng dragged her suitcase in front of Jiang Ning, looking at her expectantly, voluntarily showing friendly goodwill.
Hao Meng wasn’t tall, had extremely sweet looks, and took the sweet girl route when debuting.
But among those entering showbiz, none wasn’t a hand-picked beauty; her only asset, her looks, seemed ordinary once she entered the industry.
Plus, she had no backing, so she had remained lukewarm.
Until recently, when the likes of Huo Miao and Chu Yiyi, some popular young stars, gradually left the industry due to various scandals, tax fraud, and other blemishes, the audience finally focused on actresses like her, who worked hard at acting and paid taxes diligently.
Only then did they finally have their day in the sun.
