A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 470: The chapter group with the fastest progress bar

After listening to Chen Jinnian's plan, Huang Lei unexpectedly did not agree.

"Impossible! Today, it's you three heroes versus Lu Bu. If I agree to add up the votes, I won't have any chance of winning. I'll bet whether my Kung Pao Chicken can outdo your three dishes."

After Huang Lei finished speaking, a smile like that of an old fox appeared on his face.

"I tell you, if you want to plot against Huang Lei, that's impossible. We should be thankful that he doesn't do anything bad to us." Huang Bo joked from behind.

In the many episodes that the two of them have recorded, Huang Lei has rarely made mistakes, and those few times he did, he was always at the hands of his apprentice Zhang Yixing.

If Chen Jinnian wants to plot against the old fox, the best way is to learn from Zhang Yixing, become Zhang Yixing, and surpass Zhang Yixing.

While pretending to be harmless, he dealt a fatal blow to the old fox.

"Brother Lei, I'm truly motivated by fairness." Chen Jinnian still wore that smile. "From the very beginning, your team made the wrong choice. I'm just giving you a chance to win. If you miss this opportunity, you'll never get it again."

"Wrong choice?"

Huang Lei's smile disappeared instantly and he stopped to look at the two of them.

He couldn't read any information from Chen Jinnian's expression, but when he saw Huang Bo's evil face that was trying to hold back a smile, Huang Lei's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that I really made the wrong choice?

"I still haven't figured it out. It turns out there's still a day for that old fox to be kept in the dark." Huang Bo said mockingly, then he quickened his pace and walked forward, "Hurry, let's go quickly and make Huang Lei convinced later."

"Brother Lei, please think about it carefully. My proposal will not count until the formal vote."

Chen Jinnian threw down these words and hurried to catch up with Huang Bo.

The two people's singing in unison completely confused Huang Lei. If it was just Huang Bo, he would just take it seriously, but he would not be nervous enough. But with Chen Jinnian added, Huang Lei had to be cautious.

During the entire process of getting his meal, he was pondering the meaning of Chen Jinnian's words, because from the outside, they had the greatest chance of winning as they had three meat dishes.

It wasn't until the extras and kitchen staff were busy eating that he suddenly realized what was going on.

"It's bad, we lost."

Zhang Yixing, who had just finished putting on makeup, heard this and asked in confusion, "Master, we haven't even started the evaluation yet, how come we lost?"

"We'll see."

Twenty minutes later, voting officially began under the chairmanship of Yan Min.

Fish-flavored shredded pork, 7 votes;

Three Fresh Vegetables, 14 votes

Mu Shu Pork, 18 votes

Dried Tofu with Spicy Peppers, 20 votes

Kung Pao Chicken, 15 votes

Mapo Tofu, by far.

After seeing this expected result, Huang Lei shook his head and applauded.

"We definitely made the wrong choice. We shouldn't have given the Mapo Tofu so easily to the other side. In the cafeteria, whoever has the hot peppers wins. The fish-flavored pork shreds without hot peppers received the fewest votes, while the mapo tofu with chili peppers received the most votes. The other dishes using hot peppers didn't have a particularly large difference in votes."

"Thank you for your acknowledgement." Chen Jinnian proudly bowed to Huang Lei.

"Haha, we decided on the strategy when we were choosing the dishes. You deserve to lose." Huang Bo also walked over to show off. He felt good to be able to beat Huang Lei in IQ for once.

Only Honglei, who didn't know why he won, was still confused. He didn't know when the strategy was decided.

After hearing the conversation between the few people, Yan Min immediately asked the assistant director to check Chen Jinnian’s cameraman to see if he had recorded the scene of choosing dishes.

They actually neglected such crucial content. If they didn't record it, they would have to rush to the kitchen to retake it.

After crossing out the penalty time boxes for them according to their wins and losses, the assistant director ran to Yan Min to report.

"It was recorded on the microphone, but there were no close-ups."

At that time, everyone's attention was focused on the two teams fighting over the menu, and no one noticed Chen Jinnian's actions in private.

"That's enough. We can just leave it to the post-production editing and adjustment. Let's hurry up and transition."

Under Yan Min's revolving door arrangements, the six-member team was laid off just as they took up their posts. The factory underwent industrial transformation and the entire canteen was eliminated. After receiving their last month's salary and ceramic products, they were laid off and unemployed.

Not to mention whether the audience watching the show can accept it, Chen Jinnian, who participated in it, felt that it was too fast.

A reality show, after all, is still a show, a performance in front of the camera.

If the process is too tight and the switching between identities is too frequent, problems will easily arise.

For example, Zhang Yixing and Xiaozhu, when they saw their "wives and children" after being laid off and returned home, they were immediately distracted. It took them half a day to adjust, and they were overshadowed by their "wives" the whole time.

As for Chen Jinnian, because he skipped the dating stage in the early stage, he has now become a golden bachelor, completely separated from the family aspect, and can only stand by and watch the show with regret.

"Director, forget it. Just let Yixing go. He's not even ready for a relationship right now. If you ask him to be a father, it'd be a wonder he can get into the mood."

He advised the anxious Yan Min, "You should go shoot Brother Bo and Brother Honglei's scenes first. Brother Yixing can put this aside for now. Once he finds the feeling, you can finish the scenes with the conflict."

After Yan Min left, Zhang Yixing sighed deeply. This part was too torturous for him. He quickly stood up and thanked Chen Jinnian.

"What are you thanking me for? You're too tense. Just take a rest and you'll be fine."

"But I feel like a puppet with its strings cut. I don't know what to do or what to say. I'm not very good at improvisation."

"You don't need to perform, just cooperate with the teacher and continue acting. He can handle it."

Chen Jinnian greeted Zhang Yixing's wife. He didn't know the actress who played Xuesong, but judging from her performance just now, she should be a drama actor with some experience. As long as Zhang Yixing followed her performance, it would not be a problem for him to get this scene right.

"But my problem is that my son wants to buy a TV, but I don't have enough money. Besides, I'm unemployed now, so I shouldn't spend the money I have indiscriminately," Zhang Yixing said in a troubled tone.

"You're thinking pretty far ahead."

Chen Jinnian laughed. "The production team is deliberately making things difficult for you. They're not asking you to just get by, but to come up with solutions to your problems. Believe it or not, if you don't have enough money to buy a TV, then other people will also be short of money for various reasons."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Lei pushed the door open and walked in. When he saw Chen Jinnian, he asked in surprise, "Jinnian, you don't have a wife or children, right?"

Chen Jinnian's good mood was interrupted, and he said unhappily, "I don't have a wife or children. You don't have to be so happy. It's like you're here to eat up all my family. I just received a layoff notice, not a critical illness notice."
