Chapter 293: Unexpected
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Director: “This is a live-stream variety show, so we naturally need to maintain interaction with the audience. Last time, I asked you to record a vlog as fan service for your fans and friends. Record another one today and it will be counted as fan service. At the same time, you can also obtain financial rewards.”
“Understood.”
Their live-stream was presented to the audience in third-person. They basically could not interact with the online audience in real time, so when they were free, the director would get the guests to record a vlog.
The staff returned the phones to the guests and specified that the theme of the vlog had to be related to camping.
Each group could only film one vlog. All of them had to appear on screen and publish the edited video together. Finally, they had to obtain the highest number of likes on Weibo to obtain the monetary reward.
All the members in Liao Jiake’s group were actors, so they chose to record a short scenario surrounding the topic of whether there was a place for showering and going to the toilet on the campsite.
Liao Jiake and Qi Zhen played the roles of individuals who had just come back from camping, while Xu Huanning and Zhang Yunshu played the roles of camping newbies.
In the scene, the four of them met. Qi Zhen and Liao Jiake talked about their recent camping trip which piqued the interest of their two friends – who then threw out questions regarding what they wanted to know.
Zhang Yunshu: “Sister Ke Ke, I want to know if it’s troublesome to go camping?”
Xu Huaning: “What if I have to take a shower at night or want to go to the toilet?”
“You don’t have to worry about that. Camping isn’t troublesome at all.”
Qi Zhen also answered enthusiastically, “Actually, other than areas where water supply isn’t supported either due to the certain land conditions or other reasons, most campsites or surrounding areas have ablution facilities and toilets. ”
Liao Jiake said, “That’s right. If you’re certain you want to camp, you can strategize in advance and choose your favorite camping spot.”
At the end of the video, their team even specially promoted the camping base here.
Meng Chuyuan and the others mainly talked about camping and safety issues.
Lu Jinsen shared with his fans the types of food that can be cooked the fastest outdoors. “When camping, I suggest that everyone prepare either more pasta or semi-processed food. That way, you can save a lot of time and you won’t have to go hungry.”
[Look at Lu Jinsen’s face, then listen to what he just said. I just can’t bring myself to take him seriously, hahaha.]
[Does this kid have nothing else to say other than this?]
[I never expected Lu Jinsen to say this to everyone!!]
[Did he steal Sister Meng’s lines? Hahaha, it’s really hard to believe that such words could come out of his mouth.]
Liao Jiayan explained the techniques of setting up a tent, some things to take note of, and shared her first experience setting up a tent…
After she finished her part, she even turned the camera to Qi Yan. “Sister Qi
Yan, it’s your turn.”
Qi Yan looked up at the camera behind her phone and did not know what to say.
She was silent for a while before saying seriously, “Remember to buy a folding bed if you’re sure you want to camp. You also have to buy insect spray. Be careful of snakes and insects.’
In the end, it was Meng Chuyuan’s turn to appear on screen. She summarized briefly, “I think when camping, it is important to choose a good campsite. Only camp at a designated campsite or at a permitted location. Don’t go to the mountains or other places on your own. Not only is that unsafe, but it might also be illegal.’
“Another point is to abide by the fire rules of the camp and not throw your rubbish randomly. You should protect the ecological environment and advocate for everyone to camp without leaving behind any ecological footprint.”
[Sister Meng’s points are so useful. I want to cut out this segment and watch it repeatedly!]
[Some places prohibit the use of open fire. I suggest that everyone bring portable gas stoves when camping. Don’t violate the rules and destroy the ecological environment.]
[I thought I could camp anywhere I wanted! Until Sister Meng said that it might be illegal… Fortunately, I saw this part of the live-stream!
[Qi Yan’s point is quite good. There are snakes and mosquitoes outdoors. Insect spray is a must. Be careful when you go camping-]
“Okay, we’re done. Hurry up and post it.” After Meng Chuyuan finished speaking, the video recording ended.
When Liao Jiayan heard this, she reminded her, “But it hasn’t been edited yet.”
“What’s there to edit? The deadline is in an hour and a half. Let’s just post it.”
Liao Jiayan thought that what Meng Chuyuan said made sense, so she didn’t dawdle any longer. She opened WeChat and said, “Alright, I’ll make a groupchat first to send all of you the video.”
[This group is so casual. Haha, it’s not bad for a group that was set up at the last minute-]
[Sister Meng really doesn’t treat us as outsiders. Once she finished recording the video, she said that she wanted to post it. Unlike some celebrities, who take at least a few days to record a vlog before releasing it with beauty and lens filters.]
[It’s the right choice for them to release it earlier. They can get more likes, and exchange it for more funds.]
[I checked just now. The other group hasn’t posted yet. They’re probably editing the video. Let’s go Sister Meng, get all the likes!! I have a few alternate accounts. I’m ready to like and repost their vlog.]
Liao Jiayan made a WeChat group at the last minute and sent the video she had just taken to the group. “This video is several hundred megabytes big. It might load a little slowly.”
Seeing the video loading in the chat box, not only were the audience anxious, they also felt a little anxious.
After a while, the video finally showed in the group chat. Everyone saved the video and posted it on Weibo.
Lu Jinsen asked, “He didn’t say anything about attachments, right?”
“No, but I did type three words: ‘Please like this’.” Liao Jiayan’s caption was followed by several cute emoticons.
Qi Yan was not as particular as them. She directly posted the video and did not care about it anymore.
Qi Yan was just going through the motions because she knew that the 200,000 to 300,000 fans on her Weibo account were mostly zombie fans. It probably wouldn’t cause much of a stir even if she posted it.
They had placed their hopes on Lu Jinsen and Meng Chuyuan. Currently, they had the most fans on Weibo and were also very popular.
On the other hand, Liao Jiake and the others had just created a group chat.
However, the video they recorded was divided into four segments. Everyone participated in the post-editing and then synthesized the four edited videos together. They were quite efficient.
They finished the task in about fifteen minutes.
After Xu Huaning posted the vlog on Weibo, she said to the camera in front of her, “Friends, quickly go to Weibo and like it!”
[Xu Huanning is so smart. She’s actually secretly canvassing votes here, haha.] [I heard you. Hahaha, I’ll go show my support now!!]
[The other group is so fast. They already posted their vlog 20 minutes ago. Meng’s Weibo post has almost exceeded 10,000 likes!! Do we still have a chance to catch up to them? Boohoo]
[That can’t be, right? The four people here are all in the entertainment industry.. If the popularity of these four people loses to the amateur group opposite them, it really won’t make sense…]
