The longed-for village system

Chapter 513 Recording on Saturday

These musicians and songwriters unanimously praised Chen Qing's writing and singing abilities, but they also had something unspoken in their hearts: "Young people don't know the importance of things, and this song may only be sung for a few more years."

Every singer has their prime, whether it's their songwriting ability or vocal condition. Once they've passed that stage, many songs will sound different even if they're sung again, let alone such an incredible hit.

They acknowledged that it was highly unlikely anyone would cover Chen Qing's song, but Chen Qing wouldn't be singing it for many more years either.

Of course, Chen Qing still doesn't pay attention to the comments about him online. He's sure to have a great time and eat his fill since he rarely gets to leave the village.

After spending five days in XJ, they set off for Hunan. The reason they flew to Hunan instead of Yunnan was because Teacher He had called Chen Qing not long ago.

The main content of the phone call was to invite them to participate in his program "Hello! Saturday", which was the first episode after the revamp of "Happy Camp" and the TV station wanted to invite a big star to sit on the show.

They originally planned to invite several popular and talented singers and actors, but after learning that Chen Qing was going out, the TV station thought of inviting Chen Qing instead, as it would be a huge boost to their program if she could come.

Chen Qing didn't refuse because of her relationship with Teacher He. Teacher He originally wanted his whole family to come, but considering that Zhao Xiaogu had to take care of the child and Ya Ya was pregnant, only Chen Qing and Liu Shishi participated in the recording in the end.

Of course, when they come to Hunan, Teacher He, being the host, has to treat them to a meal. After all, Chen Qing and the others only came because of him, and it would be unreasonable not to entertain them when they come to his territory.

"What's going on with Teacher He? Why has the show been revamped? Even the cast has changed."

"Happy Camp" is Hunan TV's flagship program, and it has been recorded for over 20 years. Although its popularity has declined recently, it is far from being taken off the air and replaced with another program.

Moreover, of the five hosts, only Teacher He was left in the end, and the other four were all replaced. Chen Qing would never believe that there was no other reason for this.

"Ahem!" Teacher He didn't hide anything from his younger brother and explained roughly, "The Happy Camp program has been around for over 20 years and the higher-ups have been thinking about making changes for a long time. A while ago, Tao Tao and the others had some trouble, so the higher-ups took the opportunity to replace them."

He knew that no program lasts forever, but "Happy Camp" was of great significance to him. He spent most of his youth on this show, so he was very reluctant to see it taken off the air.

Chen Qing nodded in agreement with Teacher He's explanation. He could understand the TV station's decision, just as he knew that "Longing for Life" would be taken off the air that day. There is no such thing as a program that can be recorded indefinitely, especially a variety show.

It's already a miracle that "Happy Camp" has been running for over 20 years. How many variety shows can be recorded for more than 10 years, let alone more than 20?

Because they had a show to record the next day, they didn't drink much. After a brief get-together, they returned to the hotel arranged by the TV station.

The next day at noon, Chen Qing and Liu Shishi arrived at the Hunan TV dressing room together. No one was surprised or taken aback by their arrival; it would be strange if a husband and wife came separately to participate in the recording of the same program!

"Xiao Chen, Shi Shi, you've arrived. Let me introduce you to the other hosts of our program."

Knowing that Chen Qing and Liu Shishi had arrived at the dressing room, Teacher He immediately brought several children over to greet them, as a way to familiarize them with each other beforehand to avoid any mistakes later, since these children were not professional hosts.

"Hello, Brother Chen and Sister Shi!"

The group bowed in unison to greet him. Although they had debuted several years earlier than Chen Qing, they dared not treat him as a junior. They called him "Brother Chen" with complete respect and without any sense of obligation; they truly respected Chen Qing.

After a brief introduction, Chen Qing and Liu Shishi began to listen to the program while putting on makeup. The general process was similar to that of "Happy Camp," and even the recording stage was the original "Happy Camp" stage, so it could be called "Happy Camp 2.0."

After a group of hosts and dancers sang and danced, Teacher He led a group of children in chanting their program's slogan, and then, amidst the audience's surprised and delighted gazes, invited the two people out.

"Now, let's give a round of applause to our good friend Brother Chen Qing and our goddess Liu Shishi."

Because the invitation to Chen Qing and his team was rather rushed, and the TV station also wanted to give everyone a surprise, they didn't know in advance who the guests for this episode would be. Therefore, the expressions on their faces just now were their genuine reactions.

As Chen Qing and Liu Shishi walked onto the stage together for a fashion show, the audience went completely wild. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought it was a concert!

I'm so excited, I'm so happy! I never expected the first episode's guests to be Brother Chen and Liu Shishi. This ticket price was totally worth it. This is the luckiest thing that has happened to me this year.

"Hello everyone, I'm Chen Qing."

"Hello everyone, I'm Liu Shishi."

"It seems everyone is very enthusiastic! Did you all not expect that we could invite Brother Chen and Shishi to the first episode of our show?" Teacher He was very satisfied with the audience's reaction, at least it was a very good start.

Of course, he had already anticipated this reaction from the scene, after all, the person who came this time was Chen Qing, a superstar.

After a brief greeting, they began the game segment. The first game was a relay game, where one person relayed a mission message to the next, and the team that gave the most accurate answer at the end won.

Chen Qing and Liu Shishi were naturally grouped together, which gave them more opportunities to interact, something everyone was looking forward to seeing.

"Shishi, why don't you guess last? Let's see how good my gestures are."

Although Liu Shishi is sometimes called "Master" by them, and has a lively and outgoing personality, that's only when she's with these close friends. Outside or in front of unfamiliar people, she is more reserved and slow to warm up.

Chen Qing knew her personality, which is why he arranged for Liu Shishi to be the last one to guess the answer in the first round, so that her pressure would be less.

Liu Shishi smiled and nodded at Chen Qing's arrangements, clearly pleased that the man she cared about was taking such good care of her.

"Please tone it down a bit, we're recording a show!" He Jiong joked with the two of them, not at all worried that his words might cause misunderstandings.

In the final arrangement, Chen Qing was placed in front of Liu Shishi, and Liu Shishi was the last to answer. Then, the content of their first question appeared on the big screen.

"Wow!"

The audience was once again in an uproar upon seeing the question. They hadn't expected the production team to be so bold. Even if everyone knew about it but didn't say it, they couldn't just openly reveal it on a TV show! It was truly thrilling to think about.
