Chapter 19 Xu An's New Mission
Seeing Chen Hong's wary expression, Xu An wasn't angry; instead, he looked thoughtful.
"Director Chen, what will happen to this little house after we leave tomorrow?"
"It's empty. Are you worried it'll be dirty next time you come?"
"It's okay, we'll have someone clean it up."
Upon hearing Xu An's words, Chen Hong looked somewhat bewildered. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, she thought that with Xu An's peculiar way of thinking, he would have considered whether no one would clean the small house when filming was not taking place, so she explained in advance.
Then, Chen Hong looked at Xu An as if she had already predicted his prediction.
The meaning is obvious, what can you say now?
Unexpectedly, Xu An's eyes lit up when she heard that someone would clean the room.
"Someone will clean it? That's perfect, Director. Can I stay in this cabin until the next shoot?"
As soon as Xu An said this, everyone present wore expressions like those of an elderly person using a cell phone on the subway.
This is the first time I've heard of someone lingering after a show ends.
"That's fine, but why are you living here?" Chen Hong asked, somewhat puzzled.
"We're coming back to reshoot next weekend, and it would be too much of a waste of my time to go back and forth. I might as well stay here."
Xu An wore an expression of utter certainty.
"No, flying is quick!" Chen Zize objected from the side.
Upon hearing this, Xu An looked puzzled.
"An airplane? What airplane?"
"A hard seat on the train, of course!"
Do you even understand the economic strength of college students?
Seeing the natural expression on Xu An's face, the expressions on the faces of everyone present almost couldn't be maintained.
They're poor, yet they're proud of it.
"Aren't you a student? Don't you need to go back to class?"
Hearing Zhang Lin's words, Xu An replied casually, "I'm a senior, I don't have classes anymore, and besides, I'm doing an internship here, aren't I?"
Seeing Xu An's matter-of-fact expression, not to mention others, even the comments section couldn't hold back.
[They're staying in the cabin until the next shoot; how does Ango always manage to pull off such outrageous moves?]
[Because they don't have money for a plane ticket, they don't want to leave. As a fellow college student, I actually understand to some extent?]
Why doesn't An Gou have any money? Wasn't his performance fee supposed to be 100,000 yuan?
Is it possible that the money hasn't arrived yet?
[In my opinion, Xu An just doesn't want to leave. The place is spacious, there are people to help with cleaning and chores, and he can even mooch meals from the villagers. Staying here is practically a vacation!]
Now that you mention it, it seems to be true. Xu An really did take advantage of the situation, eating and taking things away!
Although some viewers in the live chat had already figured out the truth, Chen Hong in the program hadn't thought of that. After hesitating for a moment, Chen Hong's eyes suddenly lit up, and a sly smile appeared on her lips.
"Although there is no precedent for this, Xu An, you are, after all, a member of the production team. Cough cough, we have signed an internship contract, so we can make an exception and let you stay in the cabin when the show is not being filmed."
At this point, Chen Hong still couldn't hold back a little, but she quickly recovered and revealed her true intentions.
"However, since you are also a member of our program team, you will naturally have to take on some of the work."
"So, we're leaving the publicity work for our show to you!"
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Xu An, who was only halfway through his laughter, suddenly froze.
Let him promote it?
real or fake?
Not only was Xu An stunned, but Zhang Lin, Chen Zize, and the others beside him also looked like they had misheard.
The show's style has already started to fall apart since Xu An was a guest.
Now he's also in charge of the program's publicity work.
The comments were even more direct:
[Director Chen, it doesn't have to be like this. If you want the production team to do this, just say so directly. There's no need for such euphemisms.]
[Yeah, yeah, if you really don't want to film anymore, Director Chen, just have the staff commit suicide!]
[To be honest, I have a feeling that letting Xu An handle publicity might actually be a good idea; nobody knows what kind of stunt he might come up with.]
Seeing the surprised expressions on Xu An's and the others' faces, Chen Hong immediately knew they had misunderstood and quickly tried to explain.
"Of course, it's not all the promotional work, but you'll be in charge of shooting promotional videos for short video platforms, and you'll also be in charge of managing the program's account."
Upon hearing this, the others breathed a sigh of relief.
The promotion on short video platforms is fine, but it seems Chen Hong doesn't intend for the show to become an instant hit.
Chen Hong's idea was actually quite simple: their program's main promotional channels were several video websites and some social media platforms.
The promotion of short video platforms has been lukewarm.
Why not let Xu An give it a try? His thinking is so unique; he might actually come up with something interesting.
Seeing that Xu An was still a little dazed, Chen Hong was afraid that he would give up, so she encouraged him:
"Xu An, you don't need to feel guilty. Just do the video promotion according to your own ideas, and the entire production team will cooperate with you."
"According to my own idea? Director Chen, are you sure?"
Xu An hesitated for a moment before pointing to himself.
"That's right, just film according to your own ideas from now on, believe in yourself!"
After saying this, Chen Hong, fearing that Xu An would refuse, quickly changed the subject:
"Alright, you guys go back to the cabin and rest for a bit. Some of you will be participating in interviews later!"
Hearing Chen Hong's words, Xu An still had some concerns, but seeing that Chen Hong didn't seem to have any intention of changing her mind, he nodded and returned to Peach Blossom Cottage with the others.
Back at the Peach Blossom Cottage, the oldest member, Zhang Lin, stretched and looked a little tired.
"You guys discuss who will accompany Xu An for the interview later. This old man is so sleepy, I need to go and rest first."
Bai Ge, who was standing to the side, glanced at Xu An, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes.
"Xiao An, although I'd like to go with you to the interview, lack of sleep is the biggest enemy of an older woman like me!"
"Look, I'm starting to get wrinkles around my eyes."
After saying that, Bai Ge's smooth and delicate face, as fine as white porcelain, showed a look of impending tears. If Xu An hadn't seen the slight upturn of her lips, he might have actually believed her.
Xu An, speechless, didn't even notice that Bai Ge's way of addressing him had changed.
Compared to Xiao Xu, Xiao An is clearly closer to her.
However, just because Xu An didn't notice it doesn't mean that others didn't either.
Shen Wanwan, who had been silent ever since returning to the cabin, looked up and secretly glanced at Bai Ge.
Seeing the somewhat helpless expression on Xu An's face, Bai Ge's smile widened even more.
After teasing Xu An for a bit, Bai Ge stopped, waved his hand, turned around, and left behind a lazy voice.
"I'm going to sleep now, sister. You guys shouldn't stay up too late either."
After Bai Ge left, only three people remained at the scene. Xu An looked at Shen Wanwan and Jiang Zhaoyue, and was about to ask them who planned to participate in the interview, when he heard a soft voice.
