95: Recording Happy Camp!

The time came for the scheduled recording of Happy Camp.

Chen Le brought Wang Baoqiang, Zhang Songwen, and Huang Bo on a flight to Star City.

As soon as they stepped off the plane, a wave of warm air hit them, mixed with the unique prosperity and bustle of Star City.

The group of four walked out of the airport and saw the five members of the Happy Family—Teacher He, Sister Na, Weijia, Xinxin, and Haitao—waiting for them not far away. They were dressed in exquisite formal wear, their faces overflowing with enthusiastic smiles.

At the same time, next to them, staff members were holding a banner that read: "Welcome the main creative team of 'lost in thailand'!" along with their names.

"Director Chen, Baoqiang, Teacher Zhang Songwen, Teacher Huang Bo, hello! You've had a hard journey!" Teacher He said with a smile upon seeing Chen Le's group.

His voice was warm and magnetic, instantly closing the distance between them.

"Welcome to Star City, welcome to Happy Camp!" As he spoke, he opened his arms and embraced Chen Le, then hugged Wang Baoqiang, Zhang Songwen, and Huang Bo one by one to show his welcome.

Xie Na teased from the side, "Haha, welcome to Star City! You guys are big guests for our show! Our program director specifically asked us to come pick you up."

"Sister Na, we're hardly 'big guests.' We've just had some good luck lately and became popular," Chen Le said with a smile.

"Director Chen, you call that just luck? Your popularity has completely broken through to the mainstream. A single movie's box office exceeded a billion. I couldn't even make a fraction of that doing this show for a whole year," Sister Na couldn't help but say upon hearing Chen Le's words.

She felt like Chen Le was humble-bragging to her.

"That's just the box office; the actual amount we get in hand definitely won't be that much. It's good if we can get around thirty percent," Chen Le waved his hand.

"Even thirty percent is hundreds of millions," Sister Na said with a smile, her eyes full of envy.

Beside her, Weijia, Xinxin, and Haitao also looked on with envy upon hearing this.

They didn't even make a few million filming the show for a year, while the movie Chen Le filmed easily earned hundreds of millions.

Subsequently, Weijia, Xinxin, and Haitao also stepped forward to greet Chen Le and express their welcome.

After greeting Chen Le, they also greeted Wang Baoqiang and the other two.

"Baoqiang, I'm a fan of yours now too. I've watched both movies you acted in; I really like you," Teacher He said to Wang Baoqiang with a smile.

"Teacher He, I'm a fan of yours too. I used to watch Happy Camp all the time, and I only watched it because of you," Wang Baoqiang replied with a silly, honest smile.

Nearby, Zhang Songwen and Huang Bo finished their greetings with them.

Seeing this, Teacher He immediately smiled and said, "Let's go, let's head to the TV station. The car is waiting outside."

After saying that, Teacher He smilingly gestured for Chen Le to go first.

"Director Chen, you go first."

"Okay," Chen Le nodded.

He was now considered a quite formidable director in the industry. Teacher He's attitude toward him was clearly different from his attitude toward Wang Baoqiang and the others, appearing much more respectful.

Then, they arrived at the roadside outside the airport.

The business van arranged by the program crew had been waiting for a long time.

Teacher He opened the car door, and Chen Le stepped inside.

Afterward, accompanied by the Happy Family, the group drove to Mango TV Station. Along the way, they talked and laughed, becoming better acquainted.

Upon reaching Mango TV Station, they were led to a spacious and bright lounge with luxurious decor.

Not long after they sat down, Wang Han, a member of the Tian Tian Brothers, arrived at the lounge with fellow members Odie, Qian Feng, Tian Yuan, and Xiao Wu to greet Chen Le and the others.

"Oh, Director Chen, I've heard so much about you. I didn't expect you to actually come to Happy Camp! It's a pity I was a step late and couldn't contact you back then," Wang Han said with emotion.

"Hello, Brother Han. I've been watching your show every day since I was a kid. Could you give me an autograph?" Chen Le said with a smile.

Hearing Chen Le's words, Wang Han laughed heartily, "Sure, I'm very honored that Director Chen wants my autograph!"

He had originally thought that because Chen Le was so young, he might be a bit arrogant.

As it turned out, he didn't expect Chen Le to be so easy to get along with.

Not only was he not overbearing, but he was also very humble and low-key.

Nearby, seeing Wang Han talking to Chen Le,

Odie, Qian Feng, Tian Yuan, and Xiao Wu also stepped forward to greet Wang Baoqiang and the others.

After greeting Chen Le and his group, the Tian Tian Brothers returned to their own workstations, as they also had a program to record.

Meanwhile, Chen Le and his party stayed in the lounge, chatting with the hosts of Happy Camp.

As Wang Baoqiang watched the others leave, a wave of excitement surged in his heart.

"Happy Camp... this is my first time on it. I really never thought I'd be on this show one day," he said emotionally.

Beside him, seeing the excitement on his face, Huang Bo couldn't help but tease, "Baoqiang, you're a big star who's even been interviewed by CCTV! What's there to be so excited about being on a variety show?"

Hearing the teasing, Wang Baoqiang's expression immediately became embarrassed.

"It's different. I used to think it would be great if I could just get on Happy Camp. I didn't expect to actually be here now; I'm just a bit excited, and I even saw Teacher He and the others."

Time slipped away, and in the blink of an eye, it was five or six in the evening.

Teacher He and the others returned to the lounge to go over the script with Chen Le's group.

Although Happy Camp didn't have a strict script, to ensure the recording went smoothly, they still needed to communicate the questions in advance to avoid any awkwardness or unnecessary trouble.

"The theme this time is 'Bright Stars of the Film and Television World.' We will ask questions revolving around your works, experiences, and insights," Teacher He said seriously.

"Let's communicate in advance about the questions that should be asked during the recording later."

Wang Baoqiang and the others nodded in understanding.

Then, Teacher He talked about the specific content of the questions and the way to answer them for the upcoming show.

Finally, as night fell, the recording of Happy Camp officially began.

The audience had long been impatient to see Wang Baoqiang and the others appear.

When the opening lines sounded, the entire recording site instantly boiled over.

"Welcome to Happy Camp! I am your host, He Jiong!" Teacher He shouted with passion.

"Today, we have the honor of inviting several heavyweight guests from the film and television world. They are the director of our recently explosive movie 'lost in thailand,' Chen Le, Director Chen! And our three lead actors, your favorites: Baoqiang, Teacher Zhang Songwen, and Teacher Huang Bo! Let's welcome them with a warm round of applause!"

Following Teacher He's introduction, Chen Le and his group walked onto the stage one by one to meet the audience. Their appearance instantly ignited the atmosphere of the scene, with the audience standing up to applaud, and cheers rising one after another.
