98: Happy Camp aired, and the laughs never stopped!

Inside Dean Wang's office.

Hearing Zhang Yimou's words, Chen Le began searching his mind for the movies Zhang Yimou had filmed during this time in his previous life.

Soon, he locked onto a movie, "Under the Hawthorn Tree."

This movie was filmed in 2010 in his previous life.

And the female lead was Zhou Dongyu.

He remembered that Zhou Dongyu also seemed to be a student at Beijing Film Academy; right now, she should only be 18 years old.

Chen Le originally wanted to recommend her, but he gave up on the idea.

Even if he didn't say anything, Zhang Yimou should still be able to find Zhou Dongyu.

"Old Wang, since you're going to look for someone, let's end our chat here today. It's getting late anyway," Chen Le said with a smile.

"Alright then, be careful on your way back," Dean Wang nodded.

Afterward, Chen Le left the office.

On the campus of Beijing Film Academy, youthful and beautiful junior students were laughing by the roadside.

Chen Le strolled along these familiar yet slightly unfamiliar paths, his gaze occasionally falling upon those vibrant junior students.

He couldn't help but feel emotional; campus life was still the best.

Chen Le stopped and looked at the teaching building not far away, which carried countless memories of youth. An indescribable emotion surged in his heart.

Time is truly a wonderful thing; it makes everything from the past both strange and familiar.

Even though only a year had passed, it felt like a long time to him.

In the blink of an eye, a week quietly passed, and the latest episode of Happy Camp aired on Mango TV.

In Star City, Zhang Hao was sitting in front of the television, waiting expectantly for the show to begin.

He was a loyal fan of Happy Camp and also a devoted fan of the lost on journey series. Especially for the movie "lost in thailand," he had not only watched it twice in the theater but also repeatedly rewatched those hilarious clips online.

He had known since last week that the main cast and crew of "lost in thailand" had gone to record an episode for Happy Camp.

It was just a pity he couldn't get tickets for Happy Camp; otherwise, he definitely would have gone to see it live.

After waiting for a week, the broadcast time had finally arrived. He had never looked forward to an episode of Happy Camp as much as this one.

At this moment, he was holding his meal, eating while waiting for the show to start.

This episode featured Wang Baoqiang. He liked Wang Baoqiang the most; after all, Wang Baoqiang's image was just too funny.

As the familiar opening music played, Zhang Hao's heart rate quickened.

As soon as the show started and he heard Teacher He mention Wang Baoqiang's name, Zhang Hao became very excited.

But he quickly realized that the name of the "lost in thailand" director was also mentioned, which made him very curious.

He hadn't expected Happy Camp to actually invite the director of lost in thailand, Chen Le, as well.

Looking at the screen, he was very surprised when he saw Chen Le. This director looked so young—seemingly even younger than Wang Baoqiang.

He thought of the news he had seen before: the genius director from Beijing Film Academy, graduated only a year ago, with his new work lost in thailand surpassing one billion in box office revenue.

Before he could think further, on the show, Teacher He started talking to Wang Baoqiang.

This immediately caught his attention.

Hearing Teacher He's question, Zhang Hao suddenly perked up.

He was also very curious about whether Wang Baoqiang was really "picked up" from a food stall by the director.

This news interview had existed since the first lost on journey movie, but it had never been confirmed.

Zhang Hao naturally knew about this interview.

He then watched the screen curiously as Wang Baoqiang slowly revealed the truth.

After watching this segment, Zhang Hao laughed until he was doubled over. He hadn't expected that Baoqiang really was picked up from a food stall by Director Chen.

At the same time, he felt that Wang Baoqiang was quite lucky.

Going from an Extra to being handpicked by a director and becoming an overnight sensation.

The journey was truly inspirational.

"Director Chen is truly Baoqiang's benefactor!" Zhang Hao couldn't help but exclaim.

Next was the interview with Zhang Songwen and Huang Bo, and Zhang Hao was also very curious.

When he learned that Zhang Songwen was a teacher at Beijing Film Academy, he was a bit surprised.

It couldn't be helped; most of his attention was on Wang Baoqiang, so he naturally didn't know much about Zhang Songwen.

Then came the part where they played games, which Zhang Hao watched with great interest.

After the show ended, Zhang Hao couldn't wait to log onto Social Media Platform to share his joy with friends who also liked Happy Camp.

He found that the internet was already buzzing, and netizens were very satisfied with this episode of Happy Camp.

"Baoqiang is too funny; he's practically a walking punchline!"

"So Baoqiang really was picked up from a food stall by Director Chen. This story is so inspirational!"

"Wang Baoqiang is still so funny. Even when he speaks seriously, it's hilarious. It makes people unable to stop laughing!"

"Is Wang Baoqiang just being himself? He's still so funny even on a variety show!"

"Director Chen is also quite funny. I thought he'd be a very serious person, but I didn't expect him to be so young, handsome, and hilarious."

"I wonder if Director Chen has a girlfriend. If not, I wonder if I have a chance!"

...Meanwhile, in Shanghai, Yang Mi was sitting on a sofa in a hotel, holding her phone.

In front of her was a large television, currently playing Happy Camp.

Tonight, she had no scenes to film, so she could watch Happy Camp.

She had known since last week that Chen Le had participated in the recording of the latest episode of Happy Camp, so she had been waiting in front of the TV early for it to start.

At this moment, Yang Mi was exceptionally excited. She took out her phone and called Chen Le.

"Hey, Old Chen, I'm watching Happy Camp. I see you! Why did you dress so casually for the show?" Yang Mi's voice carried a hint of teasing.

"Mi Mi, you call that casual? It's already good that I didn't go up there wearing big flip-flops," Chen Le said, rolling his eyes.

"I don't care. I think I need to buy you some suits or something next time. Otherwise, if you ever go on a CCTV program and dress this casually, it won't do," Yang Mi said with a laugh.

Hearing this, a helpless smile appeared on Chen Le's face. "It's not that easy to get on a CCTV program. Stop fussing. I think my current clothes are enough. Buying more would just be letting them collect dust; it's too wasteful."

"What's there to fear about waste? If you earn money, you have to spend it. At worst, we can just donate the ones you don't use."

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's watch TV. I'm watching Happy Camp right now, too," Chen Le waved his hand, quickly ending the topic.

Yang Mi then shifted her attention back to the TV.

Seeing the host interview Chen Le, Yang Mi laughed and said, "Haha, Old Chen, those things you said are way too fake. Do you even believe them yourself?"

Hearing Yang Mi's laughter, Chen Le explained helplessly, "Otherwise, what could I say? That I created it just to make money?"

"Haha, that makes sense, but I still find it really funny," Yang Mi said, unable to stop herself from laughing out loud.

Later, whenever Yang Mi saw Chen Le's funny movements or heard what he said, she couldn't help but roast him.

Chen Le felt that this was quite troublesome.
