Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 314: Big Brother Becomes a Teacher
Fortunately, the rest of the day went by without encountering any harm to the forest or any bizarre individuals. Everyone, with a relatively calm mindset, welcomed the conclusion of the first episode of "Mountain Patrol Journey".
As soon as the cameras were off, stage actor Yang Jin couldn’t resist asking Wu Ti, "Do you think our episode gained a lot of attention?"
During the day there’s mountain patrol, and at night studies to attend to. Plus, he had to keep his little brother, who always wanted to learn from a master, in check. Without a manager to monitor the show’s popularity and guide him on how to perform on the show, Yang Jin was lagging in this regard.
Wu Ti, being an A-list actor with a dedicated agent, often had access to first-hand information.
"The buzz should be very high."
Wu Ti was always cautious with his words, but using the term ’very’ this time showed that the first episode of "Mountain Patrol Journey" indeed exploded in popularity.
And it had to, because not every live reality show encounters poachers and escaped convicts in its first episode, alongside trekkers almost attacked by wild boars, and parents led by internet influencers into deep mountains on a death quest.
In addition, the high-level duel between Tuanzi and her senior brother was also a major highlight. Most of the celebrity guests, being hardworking and setting a good example, with the little guests not crying or causing trouble, pure and adorable, were enough to capture the hearts of the audience.
The forest rangers being simple and responsible, the forestry bureau leaders and other staff having a desire to appeal to the world, and the quiet yet reliable forest police... In short, this was a program with many highlights which even made some previously skeptical industry insiders want to invest.
However, this show was a collaboration between several forestry bureaus, so they didn’t want sponsorship, only promotion.
Gu Che was watching his sister saying goodbye to the children, and didn’t miss the exchange between the two.
Hearing Yang Jin’s question, he thought the man wanted to officially make a mark in the circle, but upon glancing at him, he found his face completely wrinkled.
"?"
Yang Jin seemed troubled and flustered.
"I think I’m done for."
Wu Ti understood the subtext and lightly coughed, "Uh, how should I put it, although we generally don’t tear faces, you’re just participating in a variety show and performing a stage play, so sometimes it’s okay to speak more directly."
As long as Yang Jin wasn’t planning to advance into film and TV, accept endorsements, he could actually live relatively freely. Regardless of how Chen Wen stirred things up, he could respond directly.
Otherwise, he might have to suffer a secret loss.
The few children were still reluctant to part, with Tuanzi clinging to Zhou Xiangshang, unwilling to let go.
Seeing this, the adults didn’t disturb them and continued chatting a bit.
Duan Ling completely didn’t understand, as she had no plans to enter the entertainment industry, but she was participating in the show with a mission, which was to promote volleyball.
So she simply went to chat with Director Chen, only to find that Director Chen’s face was wrinkled too.
"Uh, Director Chen, are you unhappy?"
Duan Ling didn’t quite get it, "I just heard Mr. Wu say the show’s popularity is very high, and if it stays steady, it might even set a record."
Mentioning this, she felt pretty proud. During the three days, she worked diligently, never complained of hardship or tiredness, living up to the show’s invitation.
"But why are both you and Yang not happy?"
Director Chen snapped back to reality, glanced at the equally wrinkled Yang Jin, and immediately waved over his assistant.
When the assistant came over, he whispered a few questions, and the assistant, who was always keeping up with online trends, quickly responded.
"I see."
Director Chen thought for a moment and then called Duan Ling over as well.
"I might need to ask for your help on something."
He gathered a few major guests together.
Not far away, several children were pestering Tuanzi to learn. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
The atmosphere on both sides was completely different.
"Here’s the thing, if someone later implies something negative about our show, I’d need to trouble the teachers here to help. Not asking to speak highly, just speak some fair words."
Wu Ti directly asked, "Is it related to Mr. Chen?"
Director Chen gave a wry smile.
Gu Che then realized Chen Wen wasn’t around and said, "Didn’t she leave the mountain early?"
"Leaving early was what caused the trouble." Director Chen looked helpless.
Chen Wen worried about her safety and requested to leave, which was fine. But wanting to take all the security personnel with her was definitely out of the question. Eventually, two security guards, a cameraman, and a program director escorted her down.
Halfway down, a clouded leopard appeared.
This clouded leopard had no intentions of attacking, just lazily strolling by. The two security guards also shielded Chen Wen, but Chen Wen screamed and ran downhill, twisted her ankle, and rolled several times on the mountain path.
Several guests: "..." Absolutely brilliant.
Director Chen sighed, "The hospital has already given the examination results. There are some scratches on the back of her hand that will heal quickly, a few bruises on her body, and the worst part is her ankle, which is sprained."
Gu Che rolled his eyes, and it wasn’t because he didn’t want to comment on Chen Wen’s situation; he just couldn’t be bothered.
Wu Ti considered the broader implications.
"She values her life greatly and is quite delicate," he euphemized, "and given the injury, she’ll likely choose to quit the show, but..."
Director Chen and Yang Jin simultaneously looked at him with concern.
Wu Ti was helpless, "She won’t give up such a good opportunity."
The show was so popular that, with Chen Wen’s personality, she would certainly ride the wave.
Wanting no hardship but seeking buzz, what to do? Naturally, it’s about alluding and criticizing "Mountain Patrol Journey", bleeding it dry.
Sure enough, that same night, both positive and negative news about "Mountain Patrol Journey" were trending.
Not to mention the positive reports, the topics about negative news were directly attacked by Chen Wen’s fans. Some unknowing bystanders, without much thought, saw Chen Wen posting a photo in hospital attire, with her entire head bandaged and her foot in a cast, looking particularly miserable, and joined in criticizing the show.
Those unaware might think she was seriously injured.
Soon after, her team released a statement saying the artist was injured due to the show’s improper measures and expressed great anger and helplessness, having no choice but to withdraw from the show.
Consequently, more fans and curiosity-seeking bystanders began attacking the show.
But all this, for the moment, had nothing to do with Tuanzi.
She happily invited Jin Chunting over to her home.
This was the second day after the end of the first episode. Gu Che had gone back to work, and Gu Cheng was at home preparing the materials he would need for class.
He had formally joined the Jiang City Film Academy as a faculty member. In the relatively free six months, he would be giving classes to directing students.
After that, once he was preparing for a new movie and had no time, he would only need to return to school occasionally to teach or give lectures. Some directors, actors, and hosts would accept similar invitations from their alma mater, which not only allowed them to impart knowledge and experience but occasionally also helped students make connections.
Tuanzi was munching on an apple, occasionally peeking at the coursework her brother was preparing.
She couldn’t quite understand it, but she was quite excited about her brother becoming a teacher.
"Teachers are super impressive and also super scary."
Tuanzi swallowed a bite of apple and, with a look of lingering fear, shared her experience with her brother.
"Once, Miaomiao and Master passed by a private school. Miaomiao was especially curious and eavesdropped, only to see the teacher punishing students."
She gestured, "With a ruler this long!"
