Chapter 257: The First Arrival

With Yu Yabin's approval, this new show immediately entered the preparatory stage.

It's good to be your own boss, if you have a new idea, you don't need to ask for advice from many parties, just do it when you think of it!

Anyway, Zhao Zhenghao's primary purpose in planning this new show is not to make money, but to have more time with Yu Yabin, and when preparing, there is no need to think too much about clicks, advertising costs and other issues.

Moreover, Zhao Zhenghao is so confident, as long as it is a show he participates in, the amount of profit is not certain, and it is definitely impossible to lose money.

Moreover, the filming investment of this new show is actually not very large, the main scene is just a country house, plus some fixed cameras, at most a few cameramen, without counting Zhao Zhenghao and Yu Yabin's appearance fees, the shooting cost can be done by several million.

Even if you add post-production, it will cost you one or two million at most.

And in the current Longguo entertainment industry, just by relying on the three words "Zhao Zhenghao", you can easily attract tens of millions of advertising sponsorships, whether the copyright of the program is sold to TV stations or video websites, there are not tens of millions, don't talk about it at all!

Although Wang Yulan has been very busy during this time, she has to be fully responsible for the logistics of the "Legendary" World Tour, and she has to worry about the preparation of the second season of the "Challenger Alliance", and now she has to add the preliminary preparations for "Love Diary".

However, this actually didn't add much workload to her, and the preliminary preparation for "Love Diary" was very simple, just send one or two people, find a suitable location for filming, and it's OK.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the filming process, this place should not be too prosperous, so as not to Zhao Zhenghao and Yu Yabin will be watched by onlookers during the filming process, which will affect their normal life and shooting.

However, this place can't be too remote, at least it must be able to open to traffic, Zhao Zhenghao and Yu Yabin want to experience the life of ordinary people in this show, but they can't really let them, go out, first have to walk for a few hours on the mountain road.

There are no too high requirements for the filming site, as long as the house can be lived, it is best to have a yard to raise some chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep in it, and then have a piece of land, so that they can grow some seasonal vegetables, or other crops, it is better.

There are still many such places in the whole Dragon Kingdom, but it is really not easy to find one that meets the filming requirements of the program 100%.

Wang Yulan sent a total of three groups of people to the three provinces of the Dragon Kingdom, selected more than a dozen locations that met the requirements, and finally after the discussion of Zhao Zhenghao and Yu Yabin, they selected a small mountain village called Sifangtai in the Changbai Mountains of Liao Province.

Sifangtai is a small basin of valley surrounded by mountains, the traffic has not been very convenient, the qualified villagers in the village have moved to the town outside the mountain, or more distant counties and cities to live, there are only a few families left in the village, and they are all elderly, basically will not bring any interference to the filming of the show.

In the past two years, with the development of the Longguo Government's village-to-village project, the winding mountain road has finally been repaired to the Sifangtai, although it is nearly an hour's drive from the nearest township, but at least it does not want to be isolated from the world as before.

Moreover, with the improvement of people's living standards, the requirements for pure green and natural food have increased a lot compared with the past.

Due to the relocation of the villagers, there are many empty houses here, and it is very convenient to rent and buy, and most of the empty houses here are with yards before and after, chickens and ducks can be raised behind the house, and vegetables can be planted in front of the house.

Moreover, due to the constraints here, the distribution of households is not aggregated, but dispersed, and there is a certain distance between the two villagers, and the privacy is very good, which is more convenient for Zhao Zhenghao and Yu Yabin to carry out activities.

In fact, due to the geographical environment, it is not the first choice for filming "Love Diary", because, according to the current situation, the filming of "Love Diary" has to be at least in October, at that time, Sifangtai, which is located in the northeast mountainous area, is already late autumn and is about to enter winter.

Compared with here, several sites located in the southwest of Guizhou Province are more suitable.

However, since Zhao Zhenghao and Yu Yabin have designated here, although Wang Yulan is the producer of the show, she can only obey orders, who will make them the boss and proprietress of "Zhenghao Studio".

Zhao Zhenghao's "legendary" world tour is still ongoing, and Yu Yabin is also busy promoting "I Don't Want to Grow Up", so I really have to wait for a month or two to really find time to enter the Sifang Station and shoot "Love Diary".

However, although in order to increase the interest of the show and let Zhao Zhenghao and Yu Yabin experience the fun of "decorating their own small home with their own hands" as much as possible, the program team can't clean up the filming venue too well, but some necessary preliminary preparations can already be done at this time.

For example, if you want to grow vegetables in Sifangtai, which is about to enter winter, you need to build a greenhouse, and the pen where chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep are raised must also be renovated, and you can't raise them as extensively as real villagers.

Moreover, in fact, at this time, "Love Diary" can also be filmed first, since it is to show the life of Zhao Zhenghao and Yu Yabin during their love, and it is a novel experiential life in this way, it must not come suddenly, there must always be a cause and effect.

Although Zhao Zhenghao and Yu Yabin can't get together now because of schedule conflicts, they can also communicate and imagine this new life that is about to start through phone, video, and WeChat.

Filming these communication processes can also enrich the content of the program and increase the audience's watchability.

Although in the early stage, I could only see the appearance of the mountain house I was about to move in remotely, but the emotions of Zhao Zhenghao and Yu Yabin had been mobilized.

Every day, I open the photos of the mountain dwelling that has been bought in my own name, and fantasize about living there with my beloved, resting at sunrise and sunset, and weaving with men and women, and my heart can't help but be full of yearning and excitement.

Therefore, Zhao Zhenghao and Yu Yabin are rarely tired of the busy working days that they have been used to, and some can't wait to end it and devote themselves to the kind of leisurely life that is much better in their imagination as soon as possible.

So much so that Zhao Zhenghao finally ended the first phase of the "legendary" world tour, and after returning to the Dragon Kingdom, he didn't take a break, he couldn't wait for a day, and ended the promotional activities of the farewell album "I don't want to grow up" two days earlier than him, and the first official contract expired, and he broke up peacefully with the old club "Nine Star Entertainment" that has been associated for ten years, and Yu Yabin, who has officially signed a contract with "Zhenghao Studio" and became an artist under Zhao Zhenghao, drove a pickup truck raised by the sponsor of the show, and went straight to the Sifang Stage.

After discussing the show "Love Diary", Zhao Zhenghao plans to make it into a long-term, multi-season longevity program after discussing with Yu Yabin.

Of course, it can't always be called "Love Diary", but as their relationship continues to develop, it can be renamed "Newlywed Diary", "Pregnancy Diary", "Parenting Diary" and so on.

Even if the audience is aesthetically tired and no longer likes to watch it, the two of them have to take time to live here for a period of time every year, no longer to take care of work, and thoroughly enjoy life.

From the capital to Sifangtai, the whole journey is more than 800 kilometers, and there is a mountain road behind, but Zhao Zhenghao still took less than ten hours to drive, and he also rested a few times at the high-speed service station during the period to avoid fatigue driving, otherwise he could arrive earlier.

When I set out from the capital, it was six o'clock in the morning, and when I arrived at Sifangtai, it was four o'clock in the afternoon, and at this time, it was already evening dusk in the mountains.

Today's weather is good, the temperature is not high or low, the sun is shining, the white clouds are blooming, when Zhao Zhenghao and Yu Yabin arrived at Sifangtai, the sun has already set on the top of the mountain in the west, and the afterglow is curling, reflecting this small mountain village as if in a painting.

Zhao Zhenghao drove the car directly to the yard where the property rights were already in Yu Yabin's name, got out of the car, took out the key, opened the gate that had just been locked, and drove the car directly into the yard.

This courtyard is a common farmhouse style in the northeastern countryside of Longguo, the main house is a row of four red brick bungalows, and on the left side of the front of the main house, there are three houses, one is a kitchen, one is a storage room, and one is a utility room, but it was urgently converted into a bathroom.

The original bathroom here, built in the corner of the backyard, adjacent to the pigsty, is very simple, although Zhao Zhenghao and Yu Yabin said that they came here to experience life, but they can't copy everything, there should be convenience, or there is.

On the right side of the front of the main house, there is a simple carport built by the original owner, which was originally parked as a farm vehicle, but now it is still used as a garage after simple reconstruction and reinforcement, in addition to the pickup truck they are driving over, there is a farm tricycle, a four-wheeled tractor, and a motorcycle have been parked inside.

Bypassing the main house along the carport, you can go to the backyard, where along the backyard wall, there is a new row of houses, which are rebuilt on the basis of the original chicken pen and pigsty in the yard, and the function is still the same.

In front of the main house, on one side of the gate, there is a vegetable field, which is now divided into two parts, and a small greenhouse is built on the right, which can solve the problem of planting vegetables and flowers after the cold and snow, and the rest is still empty as a vegetable field, and it is necessary to wait until the next spring when the flowers bloom, and then pack it out and plant something.

The whole yard, there are more than 40 meters before and after, and there are more than 20 meters on the left and right, with a total area of 1,000, placed in the city, a proper mansion, in the capital, there are not tens of millions, don't think about having it at all.

But here, "Zhenghao Studio" bought it for only a few hundred thousand.

For the current Zhao Zhenghao, the value of this courtyard is not the most important, the important thing is that he and Yu Yabin both like it here!

Before, through photos, videos, when I watched it, I liked it so much, but now I feel more intimate in the meantime, and when I first arrived, I suddenly had a kind of permanent residence here, and I didn't want to leave.

After parking the car, Zhao Zhenghao and Yu Yabin were not busy unloading the things brought with the car, but held hands and looked around the front and back of the house together, and the more they looked, the more satisfied they felt.

Although there is nothing here at this time, it is just an empty shelf for the time being, and the two of them need to decorate and fill it up little by little, and there is actually nothing to see now, but this does not affect their love for this place.

Because, in the discussion of more than a month ago, they have designed several sets of plans for this yard, and the things that should be purchased have been ordered, and someone will send them over tomorrow.

As for the little things that can be filled at any time, when the place is roughly decorated, and then drive to the supermarket in the town down the mountain, it will almost be solved.

After seeing enough of the yard, Zhao Zhenghao and Yu Yabin took matters into their own hands and began to unload the things brought by the car.

I brought a lot of things, in addition to three suitcases of daily clothes, there were two bedding, two boxes of books, a set of tea sets, a guitar, and the largest piece was the upright piano.

Zhao Zhenghao and Yu Yabin's common skills, in addition to singing and acting, are to play the piano, since they want to live here permanently, a piano is a must.

The main attraction of this show is that everything in the show needs Zhao Zhenghao and Yu Yabin to be hands-on and self-sufficient, and they can't let others, including the staff of the program team, help.

For things like lifting the piano out of the car and moving it into the house, the solution to something that Zhao Zhenghao and Yu Yabin can't accomplish with only two people is to ask the nearby villagers for help, just like the villagers here will always gather the old and young masters of the whole village to help after encountering something difficult for their own family.

Zhao Zhenghao and Yu Yabin came here to live an experiential life, not to live a complete seclusion, but also to develop basic contact with the nearby villagers, and to integrate into the overall atmosphere of the village as much as possible.

Although there are not many villagers still living in the village because of the relocation, and most of them are elderly, it is now the autumn harvest season, and the large planters who have contracted the land in the village happen to organize people to harvest, and these people are Zhao Zhenghao's target for help.

These problems, in fact, the program team has communicated with those villagers and obtained their consent, although it is to show real entertainment programs as much as possible, but some conventions in the filming process are also unavoidable.

Let Yu Yabin stay in the yard to clean up the small things, Zhao Zhenghao went out, followed the instructions of the program team, went to the village for a turn, scattered a pack of cigarettes, and successfully invited a few people to carry the piano into the house with him.

Because he had just arrived, the kitchen was empty, and he couldn't hold a housewarming banquet, and he couldn't even invite the villagers who came to help to drink, so Zhao Zhenghao could only send them out with a series of thanks and two packs of cigarettes.
