196: artwork?

The camera crew member, carrying the camera and providing commentary, effectively earned two salaries by fully immersing himself in the role.

It was his first time participating in an elementary school event, and he found it much more interesting than the commercial shoots he usually handled. Especially when he saw the Little bros scrambling around, excitedly screaming at anything unusual, Yang Gang couldn't help but smile.

These Little bros are so lucky now; it's infinitely better than when he was in school.

If he could have participated in such an event when he was a child, he would have been too happy to sleep for days.

"Teacher Yang, can you come over here and film? It looks like a lot of students are gathered around the sixth grade area."

One of the teachers managing the event waved at Yang Gang, signaling that something was happening on the other side of the playground.

As a highly skilled photographer and on-site commentator, Yang Gang possessed an extraordinary ability to capture unexpected events. He didn't even need the teacher's reminder; while filming the little girls in front of him, his peripheral vision had already noticed the movement of the crowd.

With four grades in total, there were nearly a thousand people on site. Even from the podium, it would be hard to tell at a glance where the crowds were dense and where they were sparse.

But Yang Gang, standing amidst the bustling crowd, perceived it very clearly.

A minute ago, the crowd was dense in the direction of the fifth-grade area of the playground, with many students stopping and lingering in certain spots. Thirty seconds later, the group of people in the fifth-grade camp began to move quickly, heading towards the sixth-grade area, which was the direction the female teacher had just mentioned.

"Alright, last question."

"Little Brother, what do you think is the best-looking thing here today, the one you want most?"

Yang Gang held the microphone out to a child and asked with a smile.

After thinking for a moment, the little boy answered decisively: "I think the pizza Liu Menghan brought is the most delicious! I wanted another slice, but she wouldn't give it to me."

Parents watching the live stream online chuckled softly.

"Hahahaha, this little guy is so cute! I wonder whose glutton he is!"

"Judging by his appearance, he should be a third or fourth grader. At that age, food is indeed more tempting to them than toys."

"My brat insisted on bringing his pet turtle, which he'd had for three years, to school. Sigh, I don't know what he was thinking; who would be interested in a turtle at a display event!"

"It's the children's own activity. I think it's great that the school respects their choices. We should give children more autonomy and let them make their own decisions."

"Exactly, I agree with the parent above. It's the children's activity; just let them have fun! If you ask me what I like, I'd say I like a certain child's figurine/model kit."

The on-site activities were in full swing, and the parents watching the live stream were also chatting enthusiastically.

Yang Gang switched his camera view and began walking towards the sixth-grade area, where the crowd was densest.

Along the way, he saw many students in groups of two or three starting to wander, most of them looking for things that interested them. Because of this, many students simply gave up on their own displays.

And along the way, he was also occasionally drawn to places surrounded by students.

As he got closer to the right side of the playground, Yang Gang noticed that the number of students around him was increasing. Before, he could easily navigate through the bustling crowd with his camera on his shoulder, but now, every step was a struggle!

Every few steps, he would stop and pause for a moment, waiting for the Little Brother next to him to squeeze past before he painstakingly continued forward.

If it weren't for the students seeing him with a camera on his shoulder, looking like a staff member, they probably wouldn't even have made way for him.

He didn't know how much time had passed.

Yang Gang felt like he was being squeezed into a 'rou jia mo' (Chinese meat sandwich), and finally, he broke through various barriers and reached the front of the crowd.

At this moment, the parents who had been following his steps virtually also let out a sigh of relief.

"Phew, this is too intense! Watching the cameraman struggle to move forward, I almost couldn't breathe."

"So many children are squeezing in this direction. Will there be any safety issues or stampedes?"

"Don't worry, every section of the site has class teachers maintaining order."

"I'm also very curious now why so many people are gathered here. What kind of magical attraction does this spot have?"

"I heard that a student brought a complete set of limited edition Nezha series figurine/model kits?"

It's unclear which parent casually mentioned it in the live broadcast room, but suddenly, it sparked another heated debate on the scene.

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate! Bringing such expensive items to school, what if they get damaged?"

"This student's family is definitely not simple! A complete set of limited edition figurine/model kits, many wealthy people can't even get their hands on that. Today has been an eye-opener."

"Only two thousand sets were released worldwide. I've only seen big shots who collected them online. I never expected to see them today at a children's school!"

As they spoke, Yang Gang had already rushed with his camera to the much-anticipated display table.

To allow everyone on site a 360-degree, all-around view of the ten figurine/model kits, Huang Chaoming even assembled a table himself.

He pushed up his glasses and, facing the enthusiastic students, calmly introduced the features of each figurine/model kit.

"As you can see, the limited edition figurine/model kit of Nezha's design inspiration mainly comes from his appearance when he broke through the Heavenly Origin Cauldron! His whole body is fragmented, gradually breaking apart."

"In the movie, to create this scene, the special effects artists stayed up all night, burning the midnight oil for countless nights."

"Therefore, the designers of the limited edition model, in homage to the original movie, ultimately finalized this design."

"As for the Dragon King of the East Sea, I'm sure everyone who has seen the movie knows that his most handsome moment was when he wielded a giant blade to confront the Immortal Wuliang. So, this design was also completely preserved."

Listening to his introduction, Yang Gang zoomed in the camera, and then asked a question on behalf of the students on site and the audience in the live broadcast room.

"Excuse me, student, how much money did you spend in total to collect this set of figurine/model kits?"

Huang Chaoming smiled slightly, then said with a calm expression: "The amount of money isn't really important. What's important is that I believe the designers who produced these figurine/model kits are absolutely top-tier artisans in China. What they've created can no longer be called figurine/model kits, but rather works of art."

"Therefore, I believe supporting their work is worth any amount of money."
