Chapter 40 Behind the Scenes of "Happy Camp"
"We specifically asked Mr. Sun to have you on the show. Didn't you write all the songs for My Fair Princess? And don't forget that I teach Arabic at Beijing Foreign Studies University."

During the question-and-answer session, the two explained to the audience at the scene and in front of the TV why Zhang Chen, a non-staff member of the crew, was cast in "My Fair Princess". They also reminded Zhang Chen that Teacher He and his father Zhang were serious colleagues.

"What about this guy?" Zhang Chen tapped Liu Yifei's little head with his finger.

"You're going to be on the show, so you should invite Yifei as well. Hasn't she appeared many times in your albums? Everyone is curious about who this girl is. And she's the daughter of Liu Xiaoli, who plays Concubine Ling. It's not too much to invite her, right?"

Teacher He understood what Zhang Chen meant. He wanted to use him to explain clearly the reasons why the two non-staff members were on the show, so as to prevent someone with ulterior motives from writing about this matter as if it were news.

I have to say that Teacher He’s emotional intelligence is really high. He can understand every word or look from others and give the most correct answer.

"Okay, then I'll shamelessly rub against everyone's camera." Zhang Chen ended the topic with a smile.

"That's right. We all want to hear you sing a few songs live. But you've never sung in front of us except during the Spring Festival Gala. Don't you agree?"

Teacher He asked the last question to the audience, and the audience responded in unison: "Yes!"

"I'm still young, and apart from studying, I don't have much free time. I can only write songs in my spare time to make ends meet."

"Tens of millions of album sales, the youngest Grammy winner, 'genius boy' Zhang Chen." Li Xiang said a lot of prefixes at the side, and then continued, "If we continue to be so modest, we will all have no way to survive."

“Hahaha.” Zhang Chen acted like a shy teenager, scratched his head, and said to the two hosts: “Sister Xiang, Teacher He, please don’t ask me. I’m really just here for fun today. Let’s interview more people from the My Fair Princess crew.”

After Zhang Chen finished speaking, he consciously stepped aside, leaving the focus of the stage to the members of the "Return of the Pearl" crew.

"Then let's let them introduce themselves first." Li Xiang also shifted the topic to the crew.

"Hello everyone, I am Zhang Tieling, and I play the role of the Emperor in the play."

"Hi everybody, I'm."

Since the official broadcast in mainland China will take another few days, the two hosts of "Happy Camp" did not discuss the plot of the drama in too much. They just simply interviewed everyone about what kind of people they would be in the drama.

This is also done to arouse the curiosity of all viewers, and it is also a common promotional method used to promote unbroadcast dramas on TV shows.

"Okay, since many things can't be announced yet, why don't we play a game?" Seeing that the promotion of the new drama was almost done, Teacher He suggested that everyone start playing games.

"The game is called "Happy Fax". The rules of the game are that 5 people form a group. The first person looks at the sentence that needs to be passed on, and the other participants must wear headphones to watch the performance of the previous teammate. The next person in turn performs the sentence until the last person has watched the performance of the fourth teammate and needs to say what the answer is. The first group with the closest answer wins."

Teacher He introduced the rules of the game in detail. In fact, even if he didn’t introduce it, every guest had basically watched the show “Happy Camp” and had some understanding of it.

"So now we have to divide into groups. Do you guys form your own teams or do we do it for you?" Li Xiang also took over Teacher He's words and began to instigate every guest at the scene. However, this is also a variety show effect.

At this time, there were exactly ten guests on the scene: Zhang Chen, Liu Yifei, Liu Xiaoli, Fan Bingbing, Lin Xinru, Zhao Zhatian, Zhang Tieling, Queen, Zhou Jie, and Su Youpeng.

If you don't want to offend anyone, it's best to keep quiet and let the two hosts make the arrangements.

This way everyone can accept the arrangement, instead of choosing people, which would lead to the awkward situation of "who to choose". According to Zhang Chen, who has experience as a host, if Teacher He and Li Xiang were asked to divide the groups, two situations might occur. They each led a group, divided into a male and female group, exactly 50-50.

There is another situation where the two youngest players serve as captains and select their own players separately.

But no matter how they were divided, Zhang Chen would be teamed up with people he didn't like, and that was something he didn't want to see.

So he had to take the initiative before the two hosts took control of the team formation.

"Sister Xiang, Teacher He, let's keep it simple." Zhang Chen, contrary to his previous quiet self, took the initiative to request to be divided into groups.

"Oh? Zhang Chen, who do you want to be in a group with?" When Teacher He saw that someone took the initiative to ask to be grouped, he gave up the idea of grouping the guests.

"There are only a few of us who are close, so just add one more." Zhang Chen said as he gestured to the people around him: himself, Liu Yifei, Liu Xiaoli, and Fan Bingbing.

"Let's add one more friend, so we can have all the singers together." Zhang Chen suggested again.

No matter how far-fetched the reason is, at least it makes those who were not chosen look better.

No matter who is chosen, as long as the reason is appropriate, the others who are not chosen will not feel embarrassed.

If you say directly that you want to be in the same group with so-and-so and don't want to be in the same group with so-and-so, the situation will be very awkward, unless Zhang Chen gives a reason like "I don't want to be in the same group with Liu Yifei because she is a gaming black hole", which is also a way to reject people.

Zhang Chen has experienced this kind of "Shura field" many times, so he is naturally adept at dealing with it.

"Does anyone else have any opinions?" Li Xiang also asked for other people's opinions.

What opinions could others have? They all knew that Zhang Chen was the financial backer of the crew, so who would dare to speak out?

Even Su Youpeng, although he really wanted to form a team with the people from Taiwan, he was not opposed to being in a group with Zhang Chen and his group, so there was no resistance.

Zhang Chen has a good grasp of people's psychology, and his identity as a financial sponsor is still useful.

Seeing that everyone had no objection, the two hosts agreed to two groups.

The first group to play was Zhang Chen's group. The order of guessing questions was: Zhang Chen, Su Youpeng, Fan Bingbing, Liu Xiaoli, Liu Yifei
As the only member who can see the answer, Zhang Chen naturally has to perform the words he sees well.

Teacher He held the question board and showed Zhang Chen the question, which read: Let's learn to meow together.
Well, I can only say that the person who asked the question is very good at it. The content of the question includes the two singers participating in the game. If they can't answer it, it's just a show effect.

But this text is really difficult to perform. How can we express these three abstract concepts, “we”, “together” and “learn”, through performance?
Zhang Chen said he was waiting online and it was quite urgent.

　I will be testing the waters and pushing it later. It is very important to follow the reading data. Please don’t waste time reading during this period. I beg you.
