A staff member named Xiao Hei is the auxiliary MC sent by Gao Bin to connect with the guests.
At this time, he was standing outside the fence, wearing sunglasses and a serious face, like a bodyguard.
When Huang Lei saw him, he couldn't help but be stunned:
"What are you doing here?"
"Teacher Huang, please leave your luggage and walk into the Mushroom House."
"Mushroom house? Oh, that's where we live, right? But why should we leave our luggage? This is an invasion of privacy!"
Teacher Huang also wanted to use his momentum to scare the staff, but Xiao Hei didn't take it seriously at all. He had received training from Gao Bin beforehand, and anyone who dared to show weakness in front of the guests would have their wages deducted!
When it comes to salary, celebrities are nothing!
"Warning once, if Teacher Huang refuses to be inspected again, 100 yuan of Mushroom House's start-up capital will be deducted!"
Huang Lei is confused, are you so disrespectful?
"Start-up capital? Can I ask how much it is in total?"
"The starting capital of Mushroom House is 300 yuan, which is a loan from the program team. It will be repaid later with an interest of 20 yuan per day."
Huang Lei shouted:
"What the hell are you doing with loan sharking? It's too bad! 20 a day? Why don't you go grab it?"
Huang Lei was so angry that he yelled out curse words. Of course, he would replace it with the most evil 'beep' sound later.
He shouted while forcefully punching the card:
"Gao Bin, come out here. Gao Bin, where have you been hiding? Don't hide in there and keep silent. I know you are at home!"
Xiao Hei opened his arms to block Huang Lei's path, and said with a smile:
"Teacher Huang, admit it, you also signed the contract. With the director's urination, it must be a domineering clause."
"I still don't believe it. Where's Gao Bin? Call him out and I'll talk to him!" Teacher Huang pretended to be angry.
In fact, he is very aware of the dramatic conflict of doing this, and he is willing to cooperate. It's a variety show, just be funny, don't take it too seriously!
"Teacher Huang, if you call me again, your payment will be deducted." Xiao Hei 'threatened'.
Huang Lei decisively gave in:
"Okay, okay, you are the uncle. I was wrong. Here is the luggage. Can I go in?"
Xiao Hei then showed a smile, took the luggage and quickly retreated to the camera, leaving Huang Lei alone and messy in the wind.
"I'm really speechless. I'm doing a variety show and I got robbed on the road. Audience friends, I have a feeling that after recording this show, I'm going to have to peel off my skin!"
After saying that, Huang Lei's bleak back gradually faded away, and the camera lifted into the air and zoomed out, giving a sense of déjà vu as if watching a movie.
In fact, this is a long shot technique that is unique to movies. Don’t ask Gao Bin where he learned it from. He just met Hitchcock and they had a good relationship with him.
How dare you take on this porcelain job without some diamonds?
The same routine was used on He Jiong and Sabei Ning. When all three protagonists of Mushroom House arrived, there was no trace of laughter, only confusion about the future.
"Teacher Huang, what grudge do we have? You dragged me into this kind of show to suffer!" He Jiong looked at the dilapidated wooden house in front of him and was about to cry.
The most interesting thing about Sabei Ning is that he actually said:
"Is life in local stations so difficult? How about giving us a whole house that is watertight?"
Huang Lei sneered:
"Where is this? Didn't you listen to that little black guy? Our start-up capital is only 300 yuan, and the interest is 20 yuan per day! Zhou Papi is not as ruthless as them!"
Sabei Ningcuo said in astonishment:
"This is illegal, loan sharking, this is..."
As worthy of being the host of today’s statement, he has a strong sense of law, but he has no idea. Gao Bin has the final say here!
At this time, Xiao Hei appeared again:
"Three teachers, welcome to the Mushroom House. Today is your first day in your new home. The program team will provide you with 300 yuan of start-up capital for house repairs and daily necessities."
Huang Lei clasped his hands behind his back, feeling very unhappy:
"Wait a minute, where is Gao Bin? Where is he? Let him come out, and I promise not to beat him to death!"
Xiao Hei chuckled and said:
"The director is in the control room. If you have anything to say, he can hear you!"
Huang Lei immediately pointed at the camera:
"Gao Bin, let me tell you, if you don't cancel the 20 yuan interest today, we will stop playing and shoot whoever you like."
At this time, all the staff acted as if they had rehearsed. They immediately turned off their phones and put away their props. They were all smiling, as if they had received an amnesty. The three MCs were stunned.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, are you really not going to shoot anymore?" He Jiong said in astonishment.
Just kidding, during the pre-training, Gao Bin took all aspects into consideration, including one of them: how should the guests respond if they threaten not to film?
As you can see, this is the way to deal with it. If you don’t take a picture, don’t take it. Who are you trying to scare? Everyone is happy and relaxed. There is a hot pot behind them. The smell has already reached the noses of the staff. Now it’s just right. Let’s go.
Eat hot pot.
Seeing that the staff didn't seem to be cheating, Huang Lei felt numb and raised his hands in the air to give in decisively:
"I was wrong!"
Sure enough, everyone stopped, but they all looked regretful, and those who didn't know thought they really wanted to leave.
Sabei Ning hugged her shoulders and said very insecurely:
"This show is so scary, my world view has been refreshed."
He Jiong deeply agrees:
"I have been filming variety shows for more than 20 years, and this is the first time I have seen such a willful and domineering program team!"
Huang Lei finally figured out Gao Bin's routine, which is to torment artists to death.
He's not disgusted with it. He's definitely tired, but the show must be very effective. The audience loves to watch it. The more embarrassing the celebrity is, the happier they'll be watching it!
Seeing that it was useless to be tough, Huang Lei said resignedly:
"Let's study how to repair the house?"
"Yes, I saw the weather forecast said it will rain tonight." Sabine Ning agreed.
"I'm going to look for any tools." He Jiong is a man of action and immediately started taking action.
Their luggage was taken away by the program crew.
At this time, at the rear of the shooting scene, Xiao Hei was checking his luggage in front of the camera.
Decrypting celebrities' suitcases is also the audience's favorite. Gao Bin has a good grasp of the audience's mentality.
"Wow, Teacher Xiao Sa even wears a facial mask. He is such a beautiful boy."
Every time Xiao Hei sees something, he will make a weird scream, and he wants to hit the vj who is filming him. It’s so mean!
At this time, He Jiong came to the tool room and saw it full of various tools, and couldn't help but said:
"The program team is really well prepared. They are forcing us to work."
Sabei Ning followed behind and discovered something keenly:
"Don't you think something is missing?"
"What?" He Jiong didn't find anything missing.
"Tiles, what's the use of having tools without tiles!"
He Jiong slapped his forehead:
"I'm really confused, right, where are the tiles?"
He quickly rushed to the camera:
"Director, how can we build a house without giving us tiles?"
Huang Lei heard the noise and came over:
"What's wrong? No tiles?"
"No, Teacher Huang, please make the decision for us. This show can't be filmed."
Teacher Huang sighed:
"I don't have much respect for you. No need to ask, these tiles must be a paid item!"
Sure enough, when they confronted the program team, Xiao Hei brought over a list of items, including various living supplies, ingredients, even seeds, and tiles.
As for the price, don’t ask, it’s definitely the only one in the country, and its feature is just one word – expensive!
A tile costs 5 yuan. If you want to repair the entire roof, you need at least 100 tiles, which is 500 yuan. It is simply too much!
"Capital is too sinister. It's impossible to force us not to buy it!"
Huang Lei had reason to suspect that Gao Bin was taking revenge for his own sake and letting these big stars experience what he had experienced.
Black! It’s really too dark!
That’s it, an egg costs 1 yuan, a piece of bacon costs 50, and there are even fried chicken from Kaifeng Cai and McDonald’s burgers, which are basically about twice the original price.
Huang Lei felt a headache. If the show lasted for a year, they would go bankrupt.
"Buy it! When it comes to this, you can't help but buy it."
"But we have no money, Teacher Huang. We only have 300 yuan as a start-up capital. What is enough for us?" He Jiong said pitifully.
"Then let's borrow it. The program team will definitely provide loan services, right?" Needless to say, Huang Lei really figured out Gao Bin's gameplay.
As expected, Xiao Hei said:
"Teacher Huang is so wise that the program team set up a bank counter."
Following his finger, in the corner of the yard, I don’t know when there was a mobile trolley with a banner hanging on it that said Bank Counter!
With uneasy feelings, the three of them came to the cart and watched Xiao Hei hang up his bank work permit, with speechless faces written all over his face.
"Is it okay to play two roles with you? Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers owe you the Best Actor award!" Huang Lei complained mercilessly.
Xiao Hei ignored it and said:
"Welcome to the Moguwu Bank counter. How can I help you?"
"We want a loan!" Huang Lei said angrily.
"Is that a loan? We provide short-term loans and long-term loans here. Which one do you need?"
He Jiong couldn't help laughing and said:
"It's quite complete, so tell me, how do you calculate it in the short term and how do you calculate it in the long term?"
"Long-term loans start at 1,000 yuan and are repaid in 12 installments. The total interest is 250 yuan."
Sabei Ning's mind was very clear and he immediately said:
"Teacher He, he called you 250!"
"You are 250!" He Jiong pulled Sa Beining and pretended to fight Xiao Hei.
Huang Lei helped hold down Teacher He and continued to ask:
"What about the short term?"
"The short-term starting price is 100 yuan, and the interest is 5 yuan per day. The interest will be calculated as many days as it takes!"
"It sounds like long-term is more suitable!" Huang Lei discussed with two friends.
"Yes, it costs more than 500 just to repair the house, plus other invisible expenses, 1,000 may not be enough!" He Jiong also expressed his opinion.
Sabei Ning said:
"Then let's borrow 1,000. Plus the 300 we have on hand, it should be barely enough. Now I want to know more about how to make money. I can't keep borrowing money, right?"
Huang Lei immediately said:
"The program team must have a plan. Let's repair the house quickly. I will study cooking. People are like iron rice and steel."
He Jiong agreed:
"That's right, it's almost noon. I have to eat two meals today. How is the kitchen?"
Just now when they were looking for tools, Huang Lei went to the kitchen.
"There is no problem overall, but it is too hot now. Without air conditioning and electric fans, there is no room for people in the kitchen."
"Then build a stove outside?" Sabei Ning suggested.
"We'll talk about it later. Let's make do with it today. Let's figure out what to eat for dinner first so that I can buy the ingredients."
He Jiong stepped into the role of housekeeper:
"I think it's better to save some money and prepare delicious food when the temporary guests arrive."
Sabei Ning expressed his position:
"I don't have any objection, why don't I order noodles."
Huang Lei nodded:
"Then make braised noodles with tomatoes, eggs, and I'll make more for two meals."
"I think it's okay."
"Then it's settled!"
So, the three of them divided the work. He Jiong and Sabei Ning went to the house to repair the roof, and Huang Lei was responsible for cooking.
They already know the prices of the mushroom house small supermarket, which can be summed up by just one word expensive!
Two tomatoes cost 5 yuan, two eggs cost 2 yuan, a bag of noodles costs 10 yuan, and a green onion costs 2 yuan!
After calculation, two meals for three people only cost 19 yuan in total, which doesn’t seem expensive!
The filming of this kind of slow life variety show is actually quite boring. The artists cannot guarantee that they are online 24 hours a day. Most of the time, they are still comparing prices and staying silent, or the topics they talk about are not suitable for broadcast.
So sometimes, the audience thinks that the edited program is too procedural, and it is also for this reason.
Guests come, hug and greet each other, give gifts, help pick vegetables, wait for the meal to be ready, praise Teacher Huang for delicious cooking, go to bed, and leave.
After such a set of procedures, it starts over and over again, and it won't take long for you to get tired of it.
But Gao Bin forcibly created a difficult living environment, forcing them to do more things so that they could have more material to shoot.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
For example, when they repair the roof, they really repair it, not just for show.
He Jiong and Sa Beining worked under the bright sun for a full three hours before they were done. When they got down, they were both paralyzed.
"This program is so inhumane!" The good-tempered He Jiong can roar like this, which is enough to show how real this moment is.
After the show is broadcast, Gao Bin will release a 24-hour unedited version, recording the artists' words and deeds in the Mushroom House in an original way, allowing the audience to see the most real side.
He said that after three hours of work, not even one minute less would be enough!
It was already past 12 o'clock. Huang Lei served the noodles that had been soaked in water and a bowl of tomato and egg stew. The three of them lost interest in chatting and started eating.
Of course, praise is still necessary. After all, after working for so long, my stomach has long been deflated and I have been hungry all morning. Ordinary meals can also have the effect of delicacies from the mountains and seas.
After a wordless and delicious lunch, He Jiong took the initiative to take up the heavy responsibility of washing the dishes, while Sabei Ning ran to the bedroom to make the bed.
They had just agreed that they would take a shower after dinner, go to bed for a lunch break, and then study how to make money after getting enough sleep.
The three people have big hearts, and they are all in debt anyway, so there is no point in worrying. They sleep so soundly.
After dinner, I slept for two hours and didn’t wake up until three o’clock in the afternoon.
He Jiong was the first to wake up, sitting alone on a wooden chair under the eaves, drinking a cup of hot water and enjoying this rare quiet time.
At this time, Xiao Hei came over and asked:
"Teacher He, what do you think of this kind of life?"
"I think it's very good. Except for the evil program crew, everything is very good!"
"Then do you have the urge to stay here forever?"
He Jiong thought carefully:
"Don't tell me, it's true. I was chatting with Teacher Huang and the others just before I went to bed. Although I was tired this morning, it was very fulfilling. I finished my work, had a full meal, took a bath, and slept. It was an ordinary day.
But very satisfied!”
Xiao Hei showed a strange smile:
"Then do you want it to be more fulfilling?"
He Jiong is so excited:
"Tell me, what tasks are you going to assign to us?"
"It's not a task, it's a way to make money. Have you seen that terraced field?"
He Jiong looked in the direction of the little black finger. The terraces were built step by step from the hillside. The slope was steep, the land was narrow, the soil layer was thin, and there were many stones.
Compared with the soft curves of the terraces in the south, this place is less graceful and soft, and has more of the unique ruggedness of the north.
It's not the time to harvest yet, but the golden autumn season is the most beautiful season here. The ripe rice on the layers of terraces lowers their heavy heads.
The golden rice fields seem to be telling the most beautiful story of autumn.
He Jiong suddenly discovered that the location of this cabin was very good. Standing in the yard, in autumn, all he could see was a large area of golden yellow, and the man-made terraces undulating along with the mountains looked like an oil painting. p>
"It's so beautiful!" He Jiong exclaimed.
"The program team occupied two pieces of land in the terraced fields, one for growing wheat and the other for growing rice."
He Jiong reacted:
"So we have to make money from farming?"
"Yes, this is the most traditional way of life for Chinese people!"
He Jiong nodded:
"Indeed, I suddenly didn't feel tired anymore. I went to wake up Teacher Huang and the others. You can't miss this view!"
Teacher Sa and Teacher Huang stood in the yard with sleepy eyes, and were shocked when they saw the terraced fields in the distance.
While they admired the greatness of the working people here, they were really touched when they saw these great projects created by their hands.
"How about we go for a walk in the village?" Huang Lei suggested.
"Okay, I want to see it too." He Jiong was the first to agree.
Sabei Ning has already gone to change clothes and put on shoes.
Terraced fields, folk houses, stone streets, military villages, golden waterways, and the most traditional ancient villages have a sense of age and give people a particularly comfortable feeling.
The air here is full of fresh fragrance, unlike the noise in the city that is mixed with the smell of steel bars, concrete and car exhaust.
Stones and donkeys should be one of the characteristics of this village. They can be seen everywhere. The old man is driving a donkey cart and shouting something, which is very rhythmic and sounds like a ballad.
The afternoon sun is glowing with golden red, and it is the most beautiful filter when it shines on the mountains.
The three of them walked with their hands behind their backs and looked at the scenery. From time to time they stopped to chat with the local villagers and learn about the local customs. It was evening before they knew it.
Fortunately, I made a lot of food at noon, so I heated up the marinade, and the noodles were ready to eat after being soaked in water.
In the evening, the three of them sat in the living room, each with a cup of tea, chatting about their lives in the past.
They all have the same feeling:
"This show is not in vain!"
Although they were very angry with the program crew when they came in the morning, after living this day, they suddenly felt that this is the truest meaning of the program, which is to pursue the simplest and most ordinary life.
Including debt, it is also the biggest problem facing the people.
