224. Let go of everything
"I can't say goodbye, but it's time to say goodbye, friends, the second season of "Longing for Life" is all over today, thank you for your love and two months of companionship, goodbye, we'll see you in the third season. ”
Xu Jia, Lu Hua and Cui Fenglin stood in front of more than a dozen cameras, accompanied by 6 guest artists, and said goodbye to the audience together, the second season of "Longing for Life" is completely over, see you again this summer.
After bidding farewell to the 6 guests, everyone in the program group sat together to chat, summarize and say goodbye. During the two-month relationship, we established a deep friendship, and if you count the first season, then everyone got along for 4 months.
"Longing for Life" has 12 episodes per season, and the program is broadcast once a week, which is nearly two months in total, starting from the National Day and experiencing autumn and winter.
"Everyone has worked hard, thank you for your hard work in the past two months, this season's "Longing for Life" has gone to the next level compared to the previous season, and has been ranked in the top three in many variety shows, and three weeks have been the ratings champion. The director of the program said with a smile. During the filming, he has always been more serious, but those who are really close to him know that he is actually very easy-going and likes to laugh, but the recording of the show is too hard and too stressful, and he can't smile and grin all day long like the host, and he can't do it.
"The director is the hardest, the pressure is high, we all see it, now it's finally over, and the results are very good, I hope the director can relax and relax, don't lose a lot of hair, otherwise...... You know. Xu Jia said with a smile.
The director wore a black baseball cap, and when he heard the words, he said: "Teacher Xu is not much better than me, and he has to take care of children and host the show, and it is not easy to cook meals for so many people." The director said from the bottom of his heart.
"And Mr. Lu, in our show, the guests change every episode, so many people have to take care of it, you can't favor one over the other, thanks to Mr. Lu being here......"
Everyone chatted about homely things, and some staff made lunch and ate a big pot of rice, which was also a casual meal.
Finally, the director, Xu Jia, Lu Hua, and Cui Fenglin have already sat down with the creative directors to talk about the preparation of the next season.
"Longing for Life" was originally not valued by TV stations, but as soon as the first season was broadcast, the ratings became popular, and the number of topics was also among the best, making such an unappreciated program stand out among the variety shows created with a lot of money. Now that the second season has been held, the results have reached a higher level, and the reputation is still standing, it is obvious that the third season will definitely be done.
"Do you have any suggestions for the location of Season 3?" asked the creative director.
The first season is in a small mountain village in Hebei, and the second season, that is, this season, is a small lakeside village around Hangzhou. Because of the popularity of the first two seasons, many local governments took the initiative to contact the program team and recommended themselves.
"Why don't you go to the Maldives?" asked Xu Jia jokingly.
The creative director smiled, "It's a good suggestion, is there?"
That being said, the Maldives will definitely not go, which is not in line with the theme of the show.
Lu Hua suggested going to the grassland, and Cui Fenglin suggested going to the northeast. Both of their suggestions have one thing in common, and that is to hope for a big change in the third season. In autumn and winter, the scenery of the grassland and the northeast is different from the south and the coast, and in the case of the first and second seasons choosing the south, changing the geographical climate can give the audience a sense of freshness.
The director and creative director are seriously considering these two options.
The director asked Xu Jia: "What about Mr. Xu?"
After thinking about it, Xu Jia said: "The life of the grassland is very different from what we are used to, if you choose the grassland, then you must prepare early, and at the same time consider the audience's sense of substitution and acceptance." ”
Although he didn't directly say which one to choose, he raised the question, that is, it will be more difficult to restore the life of the grassland, which directly affects the ratings of the show.
When Lu Hua heard this, he immediately said: "Teacher Xu is right, although I suggested the grassland, but I do face the problem of substitution and reduction, director, think about it, we just suggest it casually, and it depends on you in the end." ”
The director and creative director nodded.
The director asked Xu Jia again: "If you choose the Northeast, Mr. Xu will work harder, the autumn and winter there are quite cold, and making a fire to cook is not more troublesome than in the south." ”
Yes, the weather is scary just a dozen degrees below zero.
Xu Jia was silent, and suddenly said: "It just so happens that everyone is here, let me tell you something." ”
Seeing his solemn expression, Lu Hua couldn't help but sit up straight.
The director said: "Teacher Xu, if you have anything to say, just say it directly." ”
filmed two seasons of "Longing for Life", and the director already knows Xu Jia well. He has deep qualifications, but he is very easy-going, approachable, without any arrogance, and very dedicated, and the work he does in the show is the hardest, dirtiest and tiring.
Did you ask for an increase in salary? The director secretly thought in his heart that if such a request was true, as long as it was within a reasonable range, the program team would agree. Because Xu Jia has become a soul of this show, it is precisely because of his existence that the mushroom house will feel at home and make the guests feel at home. In the setting of the show, he is the role of the pillar of the family.
"I am very proud to be a part of the first season of "Longing for Life" from the first season to the second season, as the director said before, we have achieved more than we expected, and have been liked by many people, and even had an impact on the lifestyle of many city residents. ”
Lu Hua and Cui Fenglin nodded in agreement, the show "Longing for Life" was not only a success in ratings, but more importantly, it had an impact on many people's lifestyles, allowing many people to discover the beauty of slow life and rural life. They have cultivated a pair of eyes that find beauty.
Xu Jia continued: "In many ways, we have been successful. Of course, this is for the show, and for me personally, I feel like a failure. ”
Lu Hua and the others looked at him one after another, not understanding why he suddenly said such a thing, where did he fail, in the eyes of everyone, he was successful.
Xu Jia smiled bitterly: "From the perspective of being a father, from the perspective of being a husband, I am a failure." ”
Lu Hua was stunned for a moment, swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and didn't know how to persuade and comfort him.
Xu Jia continued: "As a husband, I don't have a chance to make up for it, but fortunately, my daughter is still young, and I still have a chance, so I want to spare more time to spend with my daughter, and I won't participate in the third season." I'm sorry Mr. Lu, I'm sorry director, I'm sorry director, I'm sorry Fenglin, it's up to you in the future. ”
When he saw that the director was about to speak, he hurriedly said: "Not only "Longing for Life", I will reduce other itineraries, teach with peace of mind, accompany my daughter with peace of mind, from now on, Xu Jia is the Xu Jia who teaches and takes children, and Xu Jia is no longer the Xu Jia who cooks for people on TV." Just like our show, return to the countryside, return to nature. I am a very ordinary and vulgar person, dressed up in front of the camera, rich and rich, but I can't hide my essence, so, since it is so ordinary, let's return to the ordinary, no need to wear makeup, no need to tighten the belly, no need to smile all the time, go to school every day, take my daughter around, she likes to paint, I am going to take her to Hainan to sketch, she is still a snack, I will learn to cook more, and if I am tired of eating, I will take her to the restaurant and try the craftsmanship other than Dad. This kind of life is very good, this is the essence of the real return to life, I hope you understand me. ”
There was silence in the room.
