Chapter 329 Variety Show Debut
March 1, Changsha.
The arrival hall of Huanghua Airport was bustling with people.
Fans holding up light boards and posters blocked the exit completely.
The most common names on the light boards were "Binbin" and "Deng Chao", but there were also quite a few names like "Yang Xue", "Chen Xiao" and "Lei Jiayin".
The most eye-catching thing was a huge blue light board with the words "Fu Yibai" written on it, and a director's clapperboard icon was thoughtfully added next to it.
When Fu Yibai walked out of the VIP passage, the screams outside instantly rose by at least two decibels.
"Director Fu! Director Fu!"
"Yi Bai, look here!"
"Taki! My Taki!"
"husband!!!"
He glanced in the direction of the sound, nodded, and then this triggered an even louder scream.
Fan Binbin walked beside him, sunglasses pushed up on her head, a mischievous smile on her lips.
"Director Fu's popularity is no less than mine."
"Come on."
Fu Yibai turned his head and glanced at her.
Deng Chao followed from behind, dragging his suitcase, looking resentful.
"Director Fu, could you please give us advance notice next time so we can be mentally prepared?"
Walking through the airport with you, we all became just background noise.
Even if you try to flatter me, I won't let you record "Divas Hit the Road 2".
Your English is terrible.
"..."
Deng Chao looked resentful.
Lei Jiayin and her two companions had become almost invisible under the spotlight of Fu Yibai and his group.
The car was already waiting in the parking lot.
Hunan TV sent several black minivans, and the drivers were wearing white shirts and black trousers, with Hunan TV name tags hanging around their necks.
Upon seeing Fu Yibai and his group come out, they immediately came forward to help carry their luggage.
"Director Fu, welcome to Changsha."
Teacher He is already waiting at the station.
"Thanks for your hard work."
The car drove out of the airport and merged into the traffic flow in Changsha.
The Hunan TV building is located in Malanshan. Promotional displays for "Pacific Rim" have been set up in the square in front of the building, with posters of giant mechs and monsters hanging from the roof, creating a strong visual impact.
The car stopped behind the building.
A young girl wearing a name tag was already waiting at the door. When she saw Fu Yibai get out of the car, she immediately came to greet him.
"Hello, Director Fu!"
I am Zhou, Teacher He's assistant. Teacher He asked me to pick you up.
Teachers, please follow me.
The group followed Xiao Zhou into the building.
The walls on both sides of the corridor are covered with posters of Hunan TV’s hit shows over the years. “Happy Camp” occupies most of one wall, with photos of the hosts from each year since its premiere in 1997 lined up, like a miniature history of variety shows.
The group went upstairs and arrived at the backstage area of "Happy Camp".
The moment Xiao Zhou pushed open the door, everyone inside turned to look at him.
He Jiong was wearing a light blue denim shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, making him look much younger than his actual age.
He quickly came to greet him, a genuine smile on his face.
"Director Fu! I've heard so much about you, it's great to finally meet you in person."
Fu Yibai extended his hand, and the two shook hands.
"Hello, Teacher He."
"No, no, no, you can just call me Lao He."
He Jiong quickly waved his hand, his tone carrying a hint of sincere humility.
"Director Fu, with your status, I can't accept being called your teacher."
"You're a senior, this is only natural."
Fu Yibai did not budge, and the smile on his face was natural.
"Besides, I practically grew up watching your shows."
Li Weijia and the others behind He Jiong were all suppressing their laughter.
Fan Binbin and the others also wanted to laugh.
He Jiong never expected that someone of Fu Yibai's status would be so approachable and make such a joke.
Fu Yibai's attitude put his mind at ease.
"Alright, I won't be coy then."
He Jiong turned to the side and reached out his hand to the hosts behind him.
"Let me introduce you, these are my partners."
Xie Na was the first to jump over.
She was wearing a bright yellow sweatshirt, her hair was tied in pigtails, and she looked like an opened can of soda.
"Director Fu! This is Xie Na! I absolutely love your movies! Especially 'Your Name'!"
Fan Binbin: "…………"
"Thanks."
Fu Yibai shook hands with her.
Wu Xin stood next to Xie Na, wearing a floral dress, smiling quietly.
"Hello Director Fu, I'm Wu Xin."
"Hello there."
Li Weijia stepped out from behind Wu Xin and offered his hand.
"Hello Director Fu, I'm Li Weijia, just call me Weijia."
"Hello, Weijia."
Du Haitao was the last to come up. He was wearing a loose black T-shirt, tall and big, and looked like a mountain next to He Jiong.
"Hello Director Fu, I'm Du Haitao."
"Hello there."
Fu Yibai shook hands with him.
The others had all participated in the recording of Happy Camp before because of the program's promotion, so they knew He Jiong and the others and did not need to be introduced again.
He Jiong checked the time and clapped his hands.
"Teachers, shall we go over the procedures first?"
"it is good."
Everyone sat around the long table in the center of the dressing room.
Xiao Zhou handed each person a program schedule sheet. Fu Yibai flipped it open and glanced at it. It was filled with the time points and content summaries of each segment.
