In a private theater, a group of people stare at the big screen.

"Longing for Life" in the original time and space, with the main theme of "returning to the tranquility of the countryside", there is nothing special in the content, in that world full of reality shows, the content is relatively boring, and it can only be regarded as an entry-level reality show.

At the beginning of the picture, there is a piece of thematic content about "Longing for Life", telling people where the selling point of this reality show is. Unpretentious, but intimate.

Afterwards, Wang Sanshi, Chu Tiange, and Xiang Ling drove to the countryside where they were going to live next.

In the chat of the three of them, the car passed through the city with towering buildings, got onto the national highway, and continued to drive towards the more remote country road. Along the way, the scenery begins to change, there are fewer and fewer modern buildings, and the farmland and crops on both sides of the road give people a refreshing feeling. Coupled with the fact that the three men chatted while driving, it added a little bit of excitement to the show.

Wang Sanshi is a teacher at the film academy, he can speak well, and Xiang Ling is a host, relying on all lip service. So just chatting with the two of them is quite interesting. In addition, Chu Tiange occasionally interjected two sentences, talking about his life in the countryside when he was a child, as well as the troubles of urban life, which further highlighted his yearning for the countryside.

As time progressed, all the wide roads were replaced by dirt roads, and there was a concrete road that looked like it had just been built. The car went all the way up, and a small farm yard appeared in front of me.

A small low and tidy house, with a gazebo in the yard, and dried corn cobs and bunches of fiery red peppers hanging down from the eaves. Around the house there was something like a flower bed, in which seasonal vegetables were grown, but they had not yet borne fruit.

Everything in front of you exudes a sense of paradise.

"Yes, this shooting location is good, and it seems that it took a lot of work. The deputy director turned his head and said to Wang Xiaobai next to him.

Wang Xiaobai smiled and said: "Yes, it took two months just to find this place, and it took nearly two months to arrange this feeling." ”

"Well, your hard work will not be in vain, this show is very interesting. The deputy director nodded, full of expectations for the first issue of "Longing for Life".

In the following time, the content of the show is very ordinary, that is, the daily life of the countrymen, cooking with an earthen stove, moving bricks to renovate the pigsty, weeding and fertilizing crops, Wang Sanshi, a post-70s generation, does whatever he wants, without a sense of rustiness. Xiang Ling and Chu Tiange were a little clumsy, but it was this clumsiness, but there was a sense of realism and freshness everywhere.

In addition, Xiang Ling, Wang Sanshi and Chu Tiange are all different in age, personal experience and thoughts, and the collision that burst out in life makes the show look a little more interesting.

This is not just a variety show, but more like a live broadcast of the lives of big stars, presenting the unknown lives and thoughts of big stars in front of people so nakedly, and a different kind of fun lingers in it.

Especially Wang Sanshi, probably because of his teacher, he always plays the role of an eldest brother like a father among the three of them, taking good care of Xiang Ling and Chu Tiange in life, and instilling his own values in the two from time to time.

A show lasted almost two hours, and it didn't seem to say anything, but it seemed to express a lot of things that were different from all the shows now. Anyway, the audience at the scene did not feel tired at all, but were interested.

"Not bad!"

"After watching this show, I want to go back to the countryside to live!"

"It turns out that this is a reality show, it's very real, it's very good, Xiaobai is going to have the title of 'Father of Reality Show' again. ”

"Well, this show is unpretentious, but in the collision of several people's thoughts, there are always sparks that make people think, with depth and connotation, which is very suitable for our CCTV style. ”

After watching it, there was applause and praise from the audience. Although it has not been broadcast yet, they have already seen that this show will fight a bloody way in variety shows across the country.

The deputy station also stood up and applauded, and said, "Xiaobai, I really can't understand you more and more, you young man, talented." ”

Wang Xiaobai said modestly: "The director has won the award, and being excellent is just my consistent style, which is not worth mentioning." ”

“……”

A group of people are dumbfounded, you are so humble.

The deputy director laughed, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Yes, yes, young people should have this kind of vitality! I appreciate it, and I also hope that after the broadcast of "Longing for Life", it can teach a lesson to people in the whole industry. ”

Subsequently, another compliment, Wang Xiaobai accepted it modestly.

After laughing for a while, the deputy director said: "The excellence of this show has exceeded my imagination, and the original time is no longer in line with the current situation." I decided to raise the broadcast time of "Longing for Life". ”

"It's time to raise the file, but what time period do you think is better to put it in?" said a leader.

The deputy station thought for a while and said: "Hasn't the ratings of our station's "Detective Unsolved Cases" dropped dramatically recently? I think it is better to let him take over this show and move "Detective Unsolved Cases" to the time slot originally scheduled for "Longing for Life". ”

"Director, this ......"

"Isn't that a bit of a big change?"

"Yes, I'm afraid Lao Zhao will have an opinion......"

After listening to this, a group of people said with surprise that they didn't expect the deputy station to be so bold, and they actually wanted "Longing for Life" to take over "Unsolved Detective". You know, it was broadcast at half past eight, and it was the prime time of primetime.

Wang Xiaobai doesn't know much about it, but it's a good thing to be able to raise the file.

Deputy Tai's attitude was very resolute, saying: "The capable go up, the mediocre go down, this is an eternal truth, if he has an opinion, let him endure it." Alright, that's it. ”

The deputy station has said this, who dares to say more?

can only sigh for "Detective Unsolved", but there is nothing to be done, who let "Detective Unsolved" dominate the prime time of the station, but the ratings of the program have been declining, and now there is not even a 1% rating?

……

In this way, with the words of the deputy director, "Longing for Life" didn't even need to be piloted, and it was directly set for the prime time of the station, and suddenly became a popular fried chicken in the station.

Of course, there are also some unconvinced people waiting to see the joke.

Next, CCTV promoted "Longing for Life" in advance, and with the influence of CCTV, even if it is not well known, the number of attention has increased.

Just from the number of followers on the official blog of "Longing for Life", it can be seen that it has surged by 2 million all of a sudden.

……

Time slowly advances, finally, a small long holiday of the people of the whole country kicked off, although many people choose to travel, in fact, there are not so many, after all, the holiday is only three days, and you can't have so much fun if you want to play.

And that night, people who have been paying attention to "Longing for Life" waited in front of the TV in advance.

Zhou Yang is a small urban white-collar worker, with a monthly income of six or seven thousand, but in a city like Jiangcheng, he can only be regarded as entering a well-off life, which means that he can pay rent every month, eat and drink, buy a few clothes every month, and occasionally go to have a good time with his friends. As for saving money, buying a car, buying a house?

Don't even think about it.

Busy with work every day, sitting in an airtight office all day long, looking at this steel wall, his heart is very depressed, and he has been longing for a different way of life.

So as soon as he has money, his favorite thing to do is to travel, and he wants to go to those places where others are tired of living and experience a different life.

But he didn't go out during the May Day holiday, not because he changed his hobbies, but because he had no food left in his pocket.

He paid attention to "Longing for Life" on the Internet, and he happened to have nothing to do today, so he soaked a bucket of instant noodles, got some melon seed snacks, and prepared to eat and watch at the same time.

Soon, the time reached half past eight, and "Longing for Life" was launched.

The content is very bland, even a little boring, but fortunately, Wang Sanshi is very good at chatting, and in the midst of a few people talking and laughing, they came to the country house called "Moulin Rouge".

Looking at the simple but peaceful and quiet hut, Zhou Yang's eyes widened, put down the snacks in his hand, and his mood was very agitated.

As time progressed, watching Chu Tiange laboriously move bricks and pile up the courtyard wall in a mess, he couldn't help but laugh, and muttered to himself in his heart: "If I come, it should be a little better than his repair." ”

I saw Wang Sanshi around the stove again, Xiang Ling sitting on a small bench to light the fire, and Wang Sanshi skillfully put oil, stir-fried onions, ginger and garlic, put meat, vegetables, condiments, skillful movements, everywhere revealed the demeanor of a family man.

When a plate of fried pork from the farmhouse with all the color and flavor came out of the pot, and he had just eaten a bucket of instant noodles, Zhou Yang still subconsciously swallowed his saliva and muttered to himself: "This dish looks so delicious!"

The whole show lasted less than two hours, from the beginning to pass the time, to the full attention at the back, unconsciously, his mind also drifted to the quiet and peaceful countryside with the TV program.

Looking at the melon seed snacks on the table, he suddenly lost any interest.

He was thinking about a question, instead of living such a depressing life in the city every day, should he return to his hometown and live a dull but fulfilling life?

He really wanted to see what everyone thought, so he turned on his phone and found the official tweet of "Longing for Life", and found that the comments below had exceeded 10,000.

"To be honest, when I first paid attention to this show, I just regarded it as a boring show to pass the time, but I didn't expect that within half an hour of watching it, I fell into the pit at once. This show is so real, it turns out that the stars are like this in real life. ”

"Yes, it's so real, looking at Chu Tiange's appearance of moving bricks, I really want to laugh!"

""Longing for Life", the name is really good. After reading it, I was also full of yearning for this kind of life. ”

"Yes, I want to smash a resignation letter directly in my boss's face after the holiday, telling him that Lao Tzu is going back to the countryside to move bricks, and he will quit. ”

"Isn't there anyone praising Chef Wang's cooking skills? It's a reality show, but it makes me hungry. ”

"yes, that little fried pork from the farmhouse he made looks so delicious!"

"This show must be a stumbling block on my way to losing weight......"

“……”

On the Internet, the first episode of "Longing for Life" was broadcast, which instantly caused heated discussions, no matter what, this show is already half of the success. As for the success of the other half, it will not be decided until the ratings come out.

……

"Are the ratings statistics out?"

In the CCTV building, the deputy station didn't know how many times to call and urge.

"Not yet. ”

"Hold on. ”

The deputy station attaches great importance to it, "Longing for Life" is a program promoted by him, and he borrowed the identity of the deputy director to replace the file set by "Detective Unsolved Cases", and he is under a lot of pressure.

"Knock knock!"

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, and Zhou Hong walked in with a report and said excitedly: "Director, the ratings statistics of "Longing for Life" are out!"
