Chapter 64: IQ Loss?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When the director realized that this wouldn’t work, he put down the small speaker and returned to his post.

Since he was going to harvest the oysters himself later, he might as well sit down and rest for a while.

While waiting for the other guests to finish prying the oysters, the production team edited the content of the previous live-stream. The videos taken by the photographers were solid content, so it was not very difficult to edit them. The post-production only needed some time.

However, the edited video had to be broadcasted on a platform after all. The duration of an episode could at most be about one and a half hours. Coupled with the opening credits and advertisements, its total duration was about two hours.

One episode was divided into three parts. There was also an additional version and an Easter egg stamp. However, when it came to the allocation of scenes amongst the three groups, the production team began to fall into a dilemma.

The production team brought the edited video over for the director to see. “Director, I’ve already edited out the exciting scenes of the first episode. Please take a look at how to distribute them throughout the episode.”

It was a must for the scene where the guests chose their houses to appear in the first episode. After that, the rest of the scenes were their check-in and

performance during the missions. There were also some highlights that had been trending during the live-stream.

After careful consideration, the director gave his opinion. “Give Meng Chuyuan’s group a little more scenes. Don’t leave out the scenes of them cooking and chopping wood on the first day. The subsequent process of them picking up trash as well. Just double up the speed for the secondary parts. As for the other two groups, allocate their scenes according to the usual amount of time.’

“Will do.”

After a while, the production team finished editing the previous episode and found Director Luo again. “Director, I have another question. Do you still want to include the scene of you bargaining with Meng Chuyuan and the night where you had the drinking competition?”

When the director heard this, he was stunned. He frowned and asked, “What bargaining?”

He wondered if he had appeared so often in the first episode.

“It’s about the unreasonable distribution of labor money.”

The director looked helpless. “You already mentioned that it was unreasonable. Why would you still include it? Cut out all my scenes. Don’t put any of them up.”

He was just a behind-the-scenes director and did not want to take up too many scenes. More importantly, he did not want the audience to remember his embarrassing incident after the variety show was broadcasted.

Every guest harvested a small bucket of oysters. Knowing that the production team was going to harvest oysters too, Meng Chuyuan took the initiative to hand the tools to the director. The other guests also handed the tools to the staff nearby.

Meng Chuyuan said, “Director, you can do it. Do your best. We’ll go to the shore to prepare the barbecue.”

The director took the tools from Meng Chuyuan and instructed, “You can set up the shed and the grill first. Don’t touch the ingredients in the freezer yet. There are requirements.”

“Got it.”

Meng Chuyuan felt that the director’s sudden instructions were a little redundant. If he did not say anything, no one would have noticed the freezer next to him. However, his words attracted everyone’s attention.

Apart from the cameraman and a few staff members who were editing the video, everyone else was called by the director to harvest oysters.

[The director especially emphasized not to touch the ingredients. I don’t think the barbecue ingredients are going to be easy to get. There must be another mission waiting for them.]

[I’ve never seen a director of a variety show listen to a guest so obediently.]

[Who’s the real worker? Hahahaha.]

[Director: Is no one speaking up for me?]

[The atmosphere is so harmonious. I feel like the director and the guest are already family.]

The three boys were in charge of building the canopy, while the other girls and Qi Zhen were in charge of setting up the tables and chairs.

However, the boys seemed to have encountered some problems. Because they had never set up a canopy before, they did not know where to start when they got the sunshade.

Ting Jiu asked, “How do we do this?”

Luo Yunzhou scratched his head and said, “Let’s set up the frames on both sides first, then nail them into the ground at each corner. That should do it, right?”

After they studied the situation, they first propped up the canopy frames. In order to secure it, they found a hammer and nails from the toolbox and began to pull the thread into place, hammering the nails down to secure it.

Later, they realized that the nail didn’t seem to be of much use on the beach.

“There’s sand everywhere. How can the frames be nailed down?” After Lu Jinsen hit the nail in place with a hammer, it fell down again not long after.

[The canopy prepared by the production team should be used for camping in the wilderness. It’s not suitable to be used on the beach. The nails are too small to be fixed.]

[I don’t know why, but I suddenly feel like laughing. Three grown men can’t even handle a piece of cloth.]

[Why don’t they just give up on the canopy? Anyway, there won’t be any sun when it gets dark later, right?]

[This should have nothing to do with the sun. They probably just want a better environment. Moreover, this canopy can be hung up with lights.]

[Find something else to replace that nail. The frames can’t be held down if it’s not deep enough.]

After Meng Chuyuan finished setting up the table, she looked at Lu Jinsen and the other two squatting together. She did not know what they were doing, but the canopy was not built.

She suddenly walked over and asked curiously, “What are you doing?”

When Ting Jiu saw Meng Chuyuan appear, he sighed softly and said, “This iron nail is useless. It will still loosen even if we hammer it down. We are thinking of a way to resolve this matter.”

“Let me see.” Meng Chuyuan squatted down beside them and picked up the iron nail on the beach to take a look.

Luo Yunzhou shook his head and said, “The sand is too soft and the nails are small. They can’t withstand the strength of this shed.”

Meng Chuyuan put down the nail, patted the sand with her hand, and said, “Then you don’t have to use the iron nails. Anyway, if you hammer it in, it will fall out automatically.”

Ting Jiu said, “We were just discussing what should be used to replace the nail. Should we find a longer wooden stick?”

Because they had no other tools to use.

Meng Chuvuan looked at their glum expressions. The corners of her mouth twitched, revealing a puzzled expression. “Do we need to discuss this? Can’t we just find a few heavy stones to wrap the thread and press it down?”

The wooden stick might not even be as sturdy as the stone.

[I’m dying of laughter, hahahaha. It’s said that three ignorant cobblers add up to a genius. Why couldn’t the three of them figure it out?]

[I can tell. Their craftsmanship is weak, their practical skills aren’t good, and their IQ can’t keep up with their age.]

[Sister Meng is speechless: I don’t know if I’m smart or if you’re too stupid.]

[Ting Jiu, you’re a top student after all. Why has your IQ gone offline after hanging out with Lu Jinsen?]

[Sister Meng’s thoughts are actually similar to mine. I was just wondering if it would be better for them to find something heavy to press down on the threads.]

[The stone is fine. As long as it’s a little bigger, it can definitely hold down the threads. Moreover, it’s better than nails. It’s also convenient to remove.]

With Meng Chuyuan’s reminder, they went around the reef to see if there were any stones that could be moved back.

After the canopy was built, the sun set. The director and the others harvested a lot of oysters and returned to the beach..
