"I’ve just been contacted by investors who want to buy the rights to our show’s current episode for an adaptation and also purchase the cottage we’re staying in at Xianyu Village to use it as a legal awareness and support center!" Director Wang exclaimed with excitement.
The other guests screamed in excitement too.
No matter how popular "Life Experience" was before, it was ultimately just a variety show. Everyone worked tirelessly through late nights and post-production, but it was ultimately to help Sun Qianqian without any other expectations.
Now, with an investor wanting to adapt the episode into a film, who wouldn’t be thrilled!
Fang Zhuyue and You Yingmeng were especially delighted, as they were both developing their careers in TV dramas and hadn’t yet tapped into film resources. This opportunity paved the way for their future endeavors.
Sheng Yaoyao and Guan Fengyan were all smiles too, as taking part in such a microfilm was something to celebrate for them.
Only Zhu Xiu’an wasn’t too pleased, still clinging to his initial thoughts as he strode to the live camera and said, "So, who’s the investor, and have you started casting? Look at me! I’m 185 cm, weigh 63 kg, and I look good, have a great body, and healthy teeth. I’m perfect for the male lead! As for that dumb brother role, I think it’s pletely unnecessary. If push es to shove, you could arrange a car accident to kill him off, and I can take over in a reincarnation plot. I can even write the script for you. I can do a bit of everything, very cost-effective; the investors must choose me!"
With the possibility of a film adaptation, given "Life Experience’s" popularity, none of the guests present would miss the opportunity for self-promotion, including Sheng Yaoyao and Guan Fengyan, who were willing to engage with the script.
But...
No one really dared to shamelessly remend themselves on camera, especially with hundreds of thousands of people in the live stream. How embarrassing it would be to say the wrong thing!
Except Zhu Xiu’an, who was pletely unafraid!
The live stream viewers were nearly rolling with laughter from Zhu Xiu’an’s brazen boasting.
[Yes, please cast him as the village idiot; this dumb dog fits the role perfectly!]
[Kill him off... Wow, he’s quite something! @Zhu Xiu’an, why don’t you start a little account and write it? I’d really like to see your plot!]
[Anyway, stop talking and lift your shirt; let’s see if your body’s really that good, ha ha~]
[I used to hate the brother role Zhu Xiu’an played in the microfilm. Now, it’s just... Oh well, why bother with him!]
Zhu Xiu’an portrayed the ultimately beneficial brother in the microfilm, meant to be the most despised character, and he played it well enough to draw hate. Yet, with his self-nomination on camera, viewers found that they couldn’t sustain their scorn, as no one could outdo his own critique. He was the harshest of all!
Zhu Xiu’an rambled on, clutching the live camera, causing Director Wang a massive headache, but for the show’s final task, he reluctantly brushed him aside.
Director Wang announced, "Next, there’s one last task. Please return to your chosen rooms and shoot a simple tourism promotional video!"
The production team, after all, circled back to the initial task.
Footage for the promotional video had already accumulated over the entire season of recording "Life Experience," but Director Wang wanted to shoot additional supplementary material.
The task involved each person filming in their chosen room, sharing experiences from Xianyu Village, or offering good wishes. It was a simple, unscripted interview.
Everyone returned to their original rooms.
Ji Xizhi’s chosen room was on the top floor. Although intellectuals had helped with renovations earlier, Ji Xizhi’s task was to renovate Sheng Yaoyao’s room, so the decorations were all for her.
Ji Xizhi’s chosen room was designed by Zhong Yulu, whose fans left early, shifting attention to other tasks, so Ji Xizhi’s room remained largely unchanged, as it was cold and sparse from the start.
Ji Xizhi didn’t mind the room’s décor, as the fact that it would be used for legal aid was the best oute for her.
The show’s interviews took place simultaneously, guided by each participant’s PD, and the questions were the same for everyone.
Most questions were about impressions of Xianyu Village, and generally, the guests responded with ments about beautiful scenery and simple, honest people, until the last question.
The PD declared, "After the show departs, the cottage will be remodeled anew. The investors have assured that none of the participants’ decorations will be disturbed, and the cottage will only be used for legal aid for villagers, nothing else. So, Teacher Ji, do you have any further remodeling requests for the cottage’s future?"
The PD, holding a phone, read off the script.
This was a newly added question from the investors after their latest contact with Director Wang. Other guests had also responded.
However, their answers typically had no specific requirements, just hopes for the cottage’s prosperity.
Ji Xizhi said, "Law can reveal evil, but it cannot eradicate evil. I hope this cottage will one day have another purpose!"
[If everyone knows, understands, follows, and uses the law, the cottage’s existence would have little meaning. That would be wonderful~]
[Indeed, I hope so too. Sun Qianqian’s situation is so tough, and Ji Xizhi has had it tough too! It’s so hard in small places, but it’s touching that the "Life Experience" team chose these places with such care!]
[Sun Qianqian’s battle has just begun; Zhi Zhi’s should e next! Ha, I’m now just waiting for that... to meet a deadly fate.]
[Maybe it’s to make sure we can’t see Zhi Zhi go to court; now I just hope the trial starts soon!]
...
The interviews concluded, and the recording for this episode wrapped up, ending the live broadcast.
In the afternoon, this episode of "Life Experience" officially wrapped, and all the guests set off from Xianyu Village.
The previously arranged cars and boats had already arrived at Xianyu Village.
This departure wasn’t as cheerful as previous episodes, since a major event in a nearby village, involving the "Life Experience" team, had happened, so the villagers hesitated to say farewell.
Ji Xizhi found a moment to visit Li Songling’s home, returning just in time as the production team was about to leave in their cars.
As soon as she got in, Director Wang, with sharp eyes, noticed Ji Xizhi arriving empty-handed, remembering the fanfare from previous homeings and teasingly said:
"Zhi Zhi, this isn’t right, how e no one’s gifting you with local products this time?"
