Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

Lin Miaomiao is a professional, after all. 💀☺ ➅➈SнǗˣ.𝓒ｏΜ 🎃☝

She was enlightened by Li Haoyu's suggestion.

She had her own ideas.

Lin Miaomiao said, "You're right. This time we can go to some remote urban areas. Then we can prepare a draft before the visit to avoid asking these misleading questions."

Li Haoyu nodded after listening, and gave Lin Miaomiao an encouraging look.

"Okay, let's split up then. You go and prepare the interview questions, and we'll head out together in two hours. The afternoon is a good time for street interviews."

Li Haoyu glanced at the time on his phone. "We still have plenty of time. Let's get ready and set off."

Lin Miaomiao answered decisively this time, "No problem, I'll go prepare now."

As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately got up to write her article. At this moment, Lin Miaomiao was completely different from before; she no longer felt hesitant or confused.

Li Haoyu intends to work as a behind-the-scenes supervisor.

After Lin Miaomiao finishes writing, I'll check her work.

More importantly, we need to see what Lin Miaomiao is missing and help her find some interesting and valuable new angles to approach her.

Currently, Lin Miaomiao is still not skilled enough in this area.

It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and Lin Miaomiao had almost finished preparing the materials for the preliminary interviews. The equipment was also almost ready, and they were about to set off.

Of course, the hard work of filming still had to be left to Su Qiang.

Li Haoyu couldn't help but sigh, "Su Qiang is indeed young and has great stamina; he can carry a camera around all by himself."

Su Qiang also said to Li Haoyu, "Next time you have something good to do, please think of me too. Don't only think of me when you need hard work, like introducing me to a girlfriend. Please take this seriously."

Li Haoyu patted Su Qiang on the shoulder and promised, "Don't worry, I will definitely solve your personal problems in your lifetime and will never let you grow old alone."

"Even if we can't find a woman, we'll at least arrange a man for you."

Su Qiang immediately looked like he had no will to live.

…………

This time, Li Haoyu and his two companions came prepared.

The host this time is still Lin Miaomiao, but the difference is that she is now wearing an invisible earpiece. This is to facilitate Li Haoyu's remote control and command.

"Feed...feed...feed."

"Lin Miaomiao, can you hear me clearly?"

Li Haoyu called out to Lin Miaomiao with a mischievous grin.

Lin Miaomiao said helplessly, "I can hear you, so please don't speak so loudly. My ears aren't deaf."

"Hahaha"

Li Haoyu's hearty laughter came through the earphones.

"Alright, now it's time to prepare for the formal interview. ★😳 ❻➈𝔰𝒽𝓾Ж.cㄖ𝐌 🍓🐜"

"Su Qiang, aim your camera at Lin Miaomiao!"

"In addition to the usual medium and close-up shots, some close-up shots should also be added during actual shooting."

"Even though it's a street interview, we can't lower the standards for the visuals; we have to use the standards of a TV drama!"

Li Haoyu remotely directed Lin Miaomiao and Su Qiang through the microphone.

I must say, it feels pretty good to be in control of everything. No wonder so many actors want to be directors. Directing is basically the happiest profession in the entertainment industry.

It's fun, makes money, and is impressive.

That's why the entertainment industry is often called the "vanity fair."

Although it was just a simple street interview, Li Haoyu took the filming very seriously because he believed that "Are You Happy?" could be like the original world.

Lin Miaomiao will definitely become famous with this interview, and may even replicate Wang Bingbing's meteoric rise to fame.

Objectively speaking, Li Haoyu thinks Lin Miaomiao is actually prettier than Wang Bingbing. Wang Bingbing's rise to fame, besides luck, also owes much to the support of behind-the-scenes capital.

In her early days in front of the camera, she was glamorous but dressed simply and not particularly sophisticatedly.

In her early years, Wang Bingbing was not particularly outstanding.

But time always brings people to a state of calm and enriches their mind and body. As her hair grew longer and longer, her appearance became more and more refined, and her professional skills continued to improve.

But gold always shines, and charismatic people will not be buried by this era. Unfortunately, she later met a scumbag, which completely ruined Wang Bingbing's career.

Li Haoyu also wanted to promote Lin Miaomiao and help her develop into a female host. He had Lin Miaomiao interview the station director before as a test.

It seems Lin Miaomiao has a lot of potential. Having his girlfriend become a well-known TV host must be a great experience for him.

Li Haoyu felt a little excited when he thought about it.

Soon, Lin Miaomiao found her first interviewee.

This man is a taxi driver, and the midday rush hour has passed. He's only having his first meal of the day now, at four o'clock.

Lin Miaomiao used the interviewing techniques taught by Li Haoyu.

This time, Lin Miaomiao was not rejected and got off to a successful start.

When Lin Miaomiao asked in a serious tone, "Are you happy?"

The driver across the street, who looked to be in his forties, couldn't help but let out a wry laugh when he heard Lin Miaomiao's question. "Happy my foot! Another traffic violation today, another half-day wasted."

Without Lin Miaomiao's prompting, the driver started telling his own story.

He's been driving a taxi for over twenty years; he's definitely a veteran driver.

In the beginning, the taxi industry wasn't so competitive. If you worked hard driving at night for a month, you could earn 8000 yuan a month, and if you were lucky, you could even earn over 10,000 yuan.

This is already considered a high income in Jiangzhou.

His wife is a doctor, and they got together while she was still in college. He paid for her medical school tuition by driving a taxi, one fare after another.

The two married smoothly after his wife graduated with a master's degree, becoming what people at the time considered a perfect love story. However, married life was not as smooth as he had imagined.

Several years have passed, and his wife has become a licensed doctor capable of performing surgeries independently. Her income has naturally increased dramatically, now earning at least tens of thousands of yuan each month.

However, he is still driving a taxi, but because of the emergence of ride-hailing services, his income is even less than before. He works just as hard, but now he only earns five or six thousand.

Over the years, his wife has complained about how he doesn't earn enough money and how unseemly he is; while he feels that his wife is constantly criticizing him, making him feel uncomfortable and disrespected...

Lin Miaomiao herself has a keen sense for news.

She didn't even wait for Li Haoyu's instructions.

Lin Miaomiao asked directly, "Did you get together because you love each other?"

But what Lin Miaomiao didn't expect was...

The driver's answer, however, was not what she had imagined.

The driver lit a cigarette and slowly exhaled a smoke ring before speaking.

"In our time, there wasn't that much romance. I just thought she was pretty and her personality wasn't bad, so we became a couple. But we've already been divorced once."

"They just recently remarried."

The driver gave an unexpected answer.

This left Lin Miaomiao somewhat at a loss.

However, at this moment, Lin Miaomiao heard Li Haoyu's reminder.

"Lin Miaomiao, don't just stand there, hurry up and continue asking questions!"

After being reminded by Li Haoyu, Lin Miaomiao seemed to wake up from her daze and continued the interview. "So why did you remarry? Was it because of love?"

Actually, the host shouldn't add subjective emotions, but Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but ask anyway.

The driver's response left Lin Miaomiao speechless once again.

The driver sighed and explained, "We're all halfway to the grave, there's no love left, we're just living together, mainly for the sake of the children."

The driver paused for a moment.

He added, "However, there are other factors as well..."

Hearing this, Lin Miaomiao felt a renewed sense of anticipation.

The driver flicked his cigarette ash and continued, "Because there are too many troubles with divorce. After the divorce, your name has to be removed from the family genealogy, and the property certificate also has to be changed."

"Divorce brings just as many worries, which is why the two remarried with the help of their child."

Lin Miaomiao: …………

Just as Lin Miaomiao turned to leave.

The kind-hearted taxi driver said to Lin Miaomiao's retreating figure, "Young lady, you must be extremely careful about getting married. Don't repeat my mistakes."

Next, Lin Miaomiao met with many different kinds of people, each with their own distinct personality. However, the interviews turned out quite differently from what Li Haoyu had expected.

An elderly man with hearing loss had a nonsensical conversation with Lin Miaomiao.

Lin Miaomiao asked, "Grandpa, are you happy?"

The old man replied, "Huh?...I don't understand what you're saying? I can't hear you, are you Xiao Wang?"

Lin Miaomiao wasn't in a hurry. She raised her voice and patiently continued to ask, "Grandpa, I mean, are you happy?"

The old man said, completely bewildered.

"Hey, what did you say?"

Lin Miaomiao continued, "Grandpa, can you hear me?"

The old man continued, "You want to play together?"

……

There was even a little boy who attacked Lin Miaomiao with a water gun. Fortunately, less than five minutes later, her mother rushed over with a pair of slippers in hand, making a clattering sound like a bell.

Finally, the troublemaking child was given a good beating by her mother, ending the farce.

It's also absolutely!

The only thing that made Li Haoyu feel gratified.

Whether it was destiny or a powerful law of cause and effect, just as the three of them were about to finish, they happened to run into a middle-aged woman on her way to square dancing.

Once the woman confirmed that Li Haoyu and the other two were indeed employees of Jiangzhou TV Station, she proactively stepped forward to accept an interview.

Lin Miaomiao, of course, asked the same classic question she never asked before: "Auntie, are you happy?"

The middle-aged woman volunteered, "My surname isn't Fu, it's Liu. I'm also the leader of the dance team in the Victory Community of Northern Machinery. Please vote for us!"

The woman excitedly said, "I can even do a Yangko dance right here. Actually, learning to do Yangko is very simple."

As Aunt Liu got more and more excited, she decided to demonstrate it herself right in front of the camera. Even the well-informed Li Haoyu was a little stunned by the scene.

Aunt Liu is absolutely insane!

Later on, she even tried to teach Lin Miaomiao how to dance Yangko while she was dancing herself.

Even the rhyming instructions for teaching the Yangko dance were readily available: "First step with your left foot, step straight forward, then bend over and shake your head with the right expression."

At this moment, Aunt Liu gave a bright smile and even made a victory sign at the camera with great interest.

"Hey, step your right foot forward, in front of your left foot, keep bending over and shaking your head, then straighten up and take a step back with your left foot, a big step back, that's the soul of it."

"Then, with a seductive grace, bring your right foot back to your left foot..."

"Loop until you don't want to jump anymore."

Finally, Aunt Liu concluded, "Dancing isn't actually that difficult. Just twist and turn, and have fun!"

This left Li Haoyu speechless.

Their original intention was clearly to conduct serious street interviews and create a moving and thought-provoking in-depth interview.

Li Haoyu had even prepared the opening remarks for the interview in advance.

Are you happy?

Behind this simple question lies an ordinary person's feelings and experiences regarding the politics, economy, natural environment, and other aspects of their era.

There is no standard answer to whether you are happy. It might be the emotion of a flower or the comfort of a smile.

In this age of so much anxiety, perhaps we desperately want to find a shortcut to happiness, yet we can't quite define its shape. If you feel happy, then you are happy; if you feel unhappy, then you must learn to change your situation.

Some people feel "dissatisfied," while others feel "quite content." These differences have sparked renewed interest in the topic of "happiness." Our interview today aims to explore this social phenomenon…

Li Haoyu was quite satisfied with the opening remarks he wrote, but after looking at today's interview materials...

He didn't say anything more, but silently crumpled the printed manuscript into a ball.

Li Haoyu couldn't help but sigh. Lin Miaomiao really was a bit strange.

Today, I only went out for a few hours for a break, and I encountered a series of strange things: "Sleeping Dragon and Young Phoenix," "The Motherland's Mischievous Kid," "Old Driver," and "Energetic Granny"...

This left Li Haoyu unsure how to comment.

Is Lin Miaomiao's luck exceptionally good or her luck extremely bad?

What was originally a serious street interview took an abrupt turn. To put it simply, it was like a serious and proper CCTV News program suddenly turning into an absurd and unrestrained 1818 Golden Eye program without you even noticing.

I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky.

Li Haoyu and his two companions returned to Jiangzhou TV station with a wealth of bizarre material. At that moment, Lin Miaomiao and Su Qiang looked at Li Haoyu with eager eyes.

Li Haoyu rubbed his eyes, feigning calmness.

He looked up at the two of them.

"What's wrong? Why are you all staring at me!"

Su Qiang's face immediately fell. "Boss, I feel like none of the footage we produced today is usable!"

Lin Miaomiao said with a hint of helplessness, "How about we work overtime this weekend and interview a new group of people?"

Li Haoyu calmly said, "Alright, I actually think today's material is pretty good. Although the style is indeed a bit off, I can turn the ordinary into something extraordinary."

First, I need to rewrite a more witty opening line that fits the interview content. "What is happiness? Happiness is a cat eating fish, a dog eating meat, and Ultraman defeating monsters."
