Chapter 28 of the program aired.
"Why is Director Chen treating me like a thief? All I did was relax with the crew a few times!"
"They wouldn't even let me watch the premiere with everyone!"
In the living room, Xu An lay sprawled on the sofa, complaining as he spoke to Yan Wei beside him.
Upon hearing this, Yan Wei showed no sympathy for Xu An; instead, she said with amusement:
"Is that what you call relaxing? You're practically leading the production crew around doing absolutely nothing but playing all day!"
Five days ago, Xu An was kicked out of the control room by Chen Hong for buying milk tea. He stopped going into the control room, but that doesn't mean he stopped causing trouble.
On the contrary, these past few days he's either taken the crew out night fishing, leaving everyone on the crew listless the next day, or he's taken the crew to sneak out to attend a villager's wedding banquet, where they got completely drunk and were unable to work during the day.
Fortunately, thanks to Chen Hong's strict supervision and the huge overtime pay, the production team was finally able to edit and release the final cut before filming began for the next episode.
Even so, Chen Hong was terrified of Xu An and was afraid that he would cause trouble again. So even though today was the day the first episode of the show was officially broadcast, she did not let the production team watch it with Xu An.
If it weren't for Yan Wei, who had become quite familiar with Xu An in the past few days, saying she could keep him company, Xu An would probably have been watching the show all alone.
Right now, Xu An and Yan Wei are preparing to watch the first episode of the show together.
Upon hearing Yan Wei's words, Xu An revealed a proud expression.
"Just tell me how effective my advertising was!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Wei's face showed a mixture of amusement and exasperation, but her tone carried a hint of admiration.
Xu An is indeed good at making promotional videos, but those videos are not very serious.
"Look at this night fishing video! It's already got over 100,000 comments, and it's even trending on Zhihu!"
Yan Wei rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "Yeah, how would you rate the 'Longing for Peach Blossom Spring' crew for going night fishing all night and only catching three whitebait?"
With so many people catching only three fish, and all of them being small whitebait, how could this not trend on social media?
"And look at what these comments are like."
[Just passing by, trying to shake off the bad luck. I heard that if you downvote this video, you'll catch fish 100 times on every cast? Is that true?]
[It's true, I ordered it yesterday and it was restocked the very next second.]
【That's right, I do the same with gacha pulls.】
[This is hilarious! Who wouldn't laugh at the end of the video when they see all those bewildered looks on their faces as they stare at that empty fish basket?]
Xu An looked at the overwhelming stream of gloomy comments in the comment section and couldn't help but lose his composure.
He didn't expect that with so many people, at least twenty, they would only catch three!
Everyone who saw the three small fish turned pale.
He's really not doing this for the sake of the show!
"Ahem, let's forget about this one, but look at this one!"
"This is a pig-slaughtering video; it's down-to-earth, and viewers love watching this!"
Xu An swiped his finger, quickly flipping to the next video, and then heard Yan Wei say leisurely:
"Yes, you insisted on slaughtering the pig, but you weren't skilled enough and couldn't hold it down. You rode the pig straight into the banquet hall and chased after the whole village."
"Where have you ever seen such a spectacular sight before!"
After saying that, Yan Wei opened the comment section of the video.
I thought Don Quixote charging at the windmills was just artistic embellishment, but it turns out it's realistic! This pig-riding charge is so heroic!
[Seriously, does nobody understand the villagers eating at a continuous feast? They were just eagerly waiting for the dishes to be served and then they started eating ravenously when a huge man riding a pig came charging towards them.]
[Hilarious! The elderly folks in the video are running faster than the young people!]
[The Peach Blossom Spring has its own magic pill!]
Yan Wei glanced at the comments section, then at Xu An, blinked, and remained silent.
Xu An didn't say anything, but quietly scrolled down the video again.
"I didn't cause any trouble this time, did I? I just posted a video praising Director Chen!"
Xu An's voice was a little weak.
Yan Wei glanced at him admiringly, but didn't say anything, just quietly watched the video play.
At the beginning of the video, only one line of subtitles appeared on the screen.
Director Chen's three great virtues.
First virtue: Gentleness.
The scene then shifts to Chen Hong chasing Xu An with a fishing rod.
"Xu An, you stop right there! You actually took the whole crew fishing! Do you know how much work we've wasted? I'm not the director of Peach Blossom Spring if I don't beat you to death today!"
In the video, Chen Hong's veins are bulging, his eyes are protruding, and he looks like a madman.
Second virtue: generosity
"Xu An, why are you claiming reimbursement for takeout again? Didn't I say you'd cook for yourself?"
"If you keep doing this, I'll dock your pay!"
In the scene, Chen Hong looks at the pile of invoices in Xu An's hand and angrily roars at him.
The Third Virtue: Courage
"Xu An, the villagers came to me and asked me to hand over the culprit who rode the pig last time so they can harvest their wheat. Why don't you go over there?"
Chen Hong said to Xu An with a worried expression.
Upon hearing this, Xu An looked on incredulously.
"No, Director Chen, the next episode is filming soon, I don't have time!"
"How about I talk to Bai Ge and the others and ask them to postpone the filming?" Chen Hong said somewhat guiltily.
……
The video ends.
Xu An fell silent.
Yan Wei rubbed her temples. This time, she didn't even need to look at the comments section; she already knew what kind of comments were there.
My aunt is now completely disgraced.
She looked at Xu An and said sincerely, "Xu An, my aunt usually has a very good temper. This is the first time I've seen her like this. You should be careful when you're filming the show next time."
"Ahem, if the data from the broadcast later is not bad, Director Chen shouldn't be so petty, right?"
Xu An said somewhat uncertainly.
"That would be best. The show has started, let's watch it first."
Yan Wei glanced at Xu An with sympathy, then turned her attention to the first episode of the show.
Unexpectedly, the first thing that caught my eye was a dense barrage of bullet comments.
[I came here because I'd heard so much about it, just curious to see what kind of program a bunch of air force veterans could produce.]
Am I the only one who wants to see the Hog Rider in person? I only caught a glimpse of him before, but it was still incredibly impressive.
[This is hilarious! Where did the director find that magic pill? It's incredible!]
When Xu An woke up in the car during the show, the comments section was filled with laughter.
At this point, the staff were still unaware of the seriousness of the problem.
[The number one scammer at Peach Blossom Cottage, the Air Force Guy, the Wild Boar Rider, and the propaganda genius, is officially online!]
[Report: The vehicle can't fit all these people.]
Yan Wei looked at the dense barrage of comments and glanced at Xu An with some surprise. She hadn't expected Xu An to be so popular that he had overshadowed the comments from other celebrities' fans.
She wasn't the only one who was surprised.
In Shen Wanwan's home in Beijing, her parents, who were watching a variety show with her, asked in surprise:
"Wanwan, isn't this Xu An an ordinary person?"
"Why is it so popular?"
