Chapter 006: Interview with a Singing Rural Internet Celebrity

The village chief had long instructed him repeatedly to wait for the notification from the television station personnel when they arrived

Everything seems to have solidified into a richly colored oil painting, with the occasional few geese flapping their wings in the fields, adding a touch of liveliness to this magnificent landscape painting, as if bringing it to life.

Then we must get started quickly

What was unexpected was that Ouyang Cheng decisively chose his proposal

The driver in front heard this and chuckled, saying, "You won't be able to come back in the middle of the night"

Yang Qian recalled something and took out his phone to call his family

Not only was he happy to see such beautiful scenery, but the lines of poetry that Yang Qian responded with also pleased Ouyang Cheng greatly

However, no matter how well one prepares for the art examination, it is essential to have good scores in the cultural subjects as well

Therefore, Yang Qian maintained his own viewpoint, stating only the data that is currently available

Ouyang Xiaoqing's academic performance was poor, so Ouyang Cheng had her start learning dance early on. After entering high school, Ouyang Cheng also encouraged Ouyang Xiaoqing to study acting, allowing her to take the arts examination for either dance or acting.

If you really can't remember, Xiao Yang will prepare a teleprompter for you, so when you speak while looking at the camera, you won't feel nervous

Teacher, this is Xiang Tiange!

Looking at the mobile map, Longliao Village is almost adjacent to Guizhou Province

Yang Qian is a prominent figure known for his contributions in various fields. He has demonstrated exceptional skills and expertise, making significant impacts in his area of work. His dedication and commitment to excellence have earned him recognition and respect among his peers and within the industry.

The teleprompter was not available in the past

Alright, you need not worry

Yang Qianshuang readily agreed

Ouyang Cheng, knowing that Yang Shihan had such good grades, wanted to make arrangements with Yang Qian early on, so that after Yang Shihan's college entrance examination, she could tutor Ouyang Xiaoqing and share her study experiences

While chatting, the speed of the car suddenly slowed down. Looking outside, I realized that we had exited the highway

Of course, what Uncle Xie found strange was how an internet celebrity could be staying in such a remote mountain area

In his impression, Yang Qian had previously been seeking advice from Ouyang Cheng, learning humbly, and had hardly ever expressed his own opinions, let alone offered suggestions

Going to Heyang is too far; if I rush back, I estimate it will be midnight

Teacher Ouyang, how did you find this internet celebrity in such a remote place like Longliao Village? Moreover, I had never heard of such a person before!

No problem, she has a good relationship with Xiaoqing as well, I will talk to her about it later

In the eyes of Ouyang Cheng, who is a parent, this is a prestigious brand.

Xiang Tiange is someone Yang Qian is in contact with. They had a video call on WeChat before coming here, so he recognized Yang Qian at a glance

Ouyang Cheng is quite satisfied with Yang Qian's chosen topic, and he has helped Yang Qian by providing a summary.

Certainly, the economic development is a good thing for farmers who have been impoverished for so many years, and this is beyond dispute

Uncle Xie found it a bit strange

The arrangement for next summer vacation is expected to be similar.

After getting out of the car, Ouyang Cheng, who often covers news in rural areas and townships, couldn't help but recite poetry in admiration.

The key point is that Yang Shihan has excellent grades, capable of being admitted to prestigious universities like Tsinghua and Peking University

Master Xie parked the car next to Xiang Tiange, and Yang Qian rolled down the window to greet the other party

Yang Qian will introduce Ouyang Cheng.

Today, this Xiangtiange cannot be compared to the farmer brother who has tens of millions of fans across the internet. He can only be considered a somewhat well-known video blogger, but he is not doing poorly, as he has nearly 500,000 fans on a small platform, with video views exceeding 200,000.

In early summer, the grass and trees flourish, surrounding the house with their lush growth

The wheat-colored skin appears quite healthy, and Yang Qian now looks vigorous, with bright eyes. Ouyang Cheng even remarked that he is much more handsome than when he first arrived at the unit

A man, and he still lives in the countryside, can he really become an internet celebrity

However, news reporting must be based on facts and should not rely on the personal conjectures of journalists for coverage

During her first interview, Xiang Tiange appeared noticeably nervous, unsure of where to place her hands.

Teacher Yang, do you prefer tea or water

Ouyang Cheng's feelings of nostalgia stem from the fact that many of the rural areas they usually visit have constructed small Western-style buildings, paved neat roads, and even established agritourism businesses around the orchards, offering popular fruit-picking experiences to attract city dwellers.

Although it does not possess the vast and layered grandeur found in the north, the warm autumn sunlight of the south spreads down, casting a luminous glow over the lush greenery that blankets the mountains and fields.

It is uncertain whether it is to comfort Yang Qian, but Ouyang Cheng's praise for Yang Shihan is sincere, even accompanied by an uncontrollable envy

It turns out that it was recommended by Xiao Yang

However, their destination this time is somewhat remote, and there is still a two-hour drive after getting off the highway

Everyone did not exchange pleasantries at the village entrance. Xiang Tiange rode an electric motorcycle, leading the way, and brought the television station's vehicle into their yard.

"Xiao Xiang, do not be nervous, and there is no need to be polite. Let's sit down and have a chat first"

To be honest, it no longer resembles the rural appearance of the past

Longliao Village is indeed quite remote, as Heyang County itself is relatively isolated. Among the several districts in Hecheng, Heyang County is the only county town that does not border the urban area—it is separated from the urban area by Heyang River!

What is referred to as a yard is, in fact, a stretch of concrete without walls, with a two-story building of the Xiangtian family on one side and a vast expanse of rice fields and low hills on the other side

"In early summer, the grass and trees flourish" is a line from a poem by Tao Yuanming, describing the thriving vegetation around the thatched cottage where he lived, which perfectly matches the scene before us

Uncle Xie expressed his surprise while driving

Indeed, Yang Qian spent the first three months studying, and he set a personal requirement for himself to "listen more, observe more, do more, and speak less"

But don't they only appear in places that seem to have a decent environment, such as shopping malls and hotels

Well, regardless of the circumstances, his ability to help the villagers open up sales channels for agricultural products as an internet celebrity is indeed a remarkable achievement. This time, Xiao Yang also took us to broaden our horizons and witness the innovative poverty alleviation efforts of young people

During the summer vacation, Yang Qian took Yang Shihan to visit the teacher's home, and Yang Shihan and Ouyang Xiaoqing became acquainted. However, Ouyang Xiaoqing's academic performance is indeed not as good as that of Yang Shihan, or rather, it can be said to be quite poor

Yang Qian also began to adopt a flowery style of writing alongside his teacher

Hmm, going to the countryside with the teacher

Listen, Master Xie also mentioned that he won't be back until midnight

Ouyang Cheng, being very experienced, noticed Xiang Tiange's unease and gently introduced him to their interview process.

... ...

After Yang Qian finished the phone call, Uncle Xie, who had opened his mouth, began to chat with them again

Yang Qian is quick-witted; he created a large teleprompter using a tablet, successfully resolving their predicament of lacking a dedicated teleprompter in the studio, while also saving the trouble of handwriting cue cards

Before the winter break, the art examinations are basically completed, and what remains is the intensive preparation for the cultural examination. Coincidentally, at that time, Yang Shihan will also be back from her holiday

There is no need to call me Teacher Yang, just call me Xiao Yang. This is Teacher Ouyang Cheng, my master. This is Teacher Lu Youyi, who is responsible for filming. This is ... ...

"Alright. However, Teacher Ouyang, our village chief said he would be coming over soon, and he also mentioned that he would like to treat you to a meal. What do you think..."

Ouyang Cheng smiled faintly, as he had long been accustomed to such matters

In the swaying interview vehicle of the television station, Yang Qian spoke with pride to Teacher Ouyang about his sister's achievements

However, it is this more remote Longliao Village that has provided Ouyang Cheng, Yang Qian, and their companions with even more surprises, allowing them to feel a closer connection to nature

Yang Qian introduced their group of four individuals to him

It is him

However, many news interviews now require video recording. On one hand, the production department responsible for news programs selects materials from these recordings, and on the other hand, this is also a requirement from the integrated media center

Hasten to greet Tian Ge with utmost respect

This is recommended by Xiao Yang! He told me that the farmers in Jiangxi Province are quite popular, but we also have a rural-themed internet celebrity here in Hecheng.

Yang Qian was unsure whether the chicken soup he made for his sister that night had any effect, but Yang Shihan's attitude towards her studies became much more serious afterwards. During the summer vacation, she did not pester him to take her out to play, instead spending every day at home reading books and doing practice papers

In fact, Ouyang Cheng had wanted to do this during the summer vacation, but currently, Ouyang Xiaoqing's attention is more focused on the art examination. During the summer vacation, she went to the capital to stay with her mother and attended a professional art examination training class

Teacher, we have long been trapped in a cage, and now we have returned to nature

His interview with the television station, of course, could not be kept a secret from the other villagers. As soon as his mother heard about it, she spread the news throughout the entire village that very night, her face glowing with excitement

of unremarkable appearance, with a messy bowl cut on top

Teacher Yang

As they spoke, Xiang Tiange and his wife were moving tables and chairs outside, and Yang Qian quickly went over to help.

However, this is not friendly for many interviewees, such as many farmers, who become bewildered and blank when they see the camera, let alone organize their thoughts

Hello, Teacher Ouyang

However, Yang Qian did not forget; he looked forward from the middle of the car and saw a young man at the village entrance, wearing flip-flops and waiting for them on an electric motorcycle

The effectiveness of remedial classes is still uncertain, but Yang Shihan has just completed the college entrance examination, and she has not forgotten much of the knowledge. Her insights regarding the college entrance examination are certainly more substantial than those of many external tutoring teachers.

It is now October, and the National Day holiday has just passed. There are still many vehicles from other regions rushing back to the big cities, causing a complete standstill in the opposite lane of the highway.

In fact, Yang Qian did not finish speaking; he believed that this video blogger had considerable potential, as they sang very well and produced quality videos. Yang Qian thought that in the future, they could become a video blogger with over one million followers

Let us first get to know each other, and then we will officially begin the interview at 2:30 PM.

Sister Shihan's grades are truly excellent. Xiao Yang, after she graduates from her third year of high school and returns during the winter vacation, could we invite her to tutor sister Xiaoqing for a bit?

Is it not because they have spent too long in the "cage" of the city that they yearn for such natural scenery?

As far as the eye can see, there is a sea of lush green

Xiang Tiange feels a bit embarrassed

... ...

Ouyang Cheng smiled and patted Yang Qian, who was sitting beside him, on the shoulder, signaling him to introduce himself

It is simply not safe, so we should stay in Heyang tonight and return tomorrow

There is indeed a trick to this

Yang Qian and the others do not have this worry, because others are coming from their hometown, while they are heading towards the countryside. There are not many cars on the highway here, and the driver is driving comfortably, humming along with the music.

Mom, I will not be coming back tonight

Of course, Ouyang Cheng has long paved the way for his daughter's future

She is not lacking in seriousness when it comes to studying; the problem is that she cannot grasp the material. What can be done about this?

Longliao Village, located near the western part of Guangdong, is nestled among a series of low hills, and the interview vehicle navigates the cement road leading into the village with relative ease

Yang Qian raised her head and smiled at him, then continued speaking to her mother

Therefore, in the first month of her senior year, she achieved second place in the monthly exam for her grade. This is already her personal best score in history

Yang Qian's clever response also referenced a poem by Tao Yuanming. Although it is a different poem, the meaning is quite appropriate

Ouyang Chengxin laughed heartily, feeling very pleased

Once we have a good understanding, we will provide you with an outline of our interview, so you can prepare your responses accordingly and write them down.

Uncle Xie has seen internet celebrities before; in this day and age, internet celebrities are as numerous as the hairs on a cow. A few fans, the ability to apply makeup, and the skill to take videos with a phone are enough for any "beauty" to be called an internet celebrity

The integrated media center has emerged in recent years. In order to adapt to the development of the times, Hecheng Television Station has also established an integrated media center, launching their official accounts on various platforms such as short video apps and news apps. Therefore, the requirements for video interview materials have increased significantly

Ouyang Cheng felt very troubled by this

After working for three months, Yang Qian successfully became a permanent employee. Of course, the cost was that he became tanned and thin—there was no way around it, as he followed his teacher to the countryside every day; it would be unscientific not to get tanned.

This time, Ouyang Cheng jokingly asked him if he had any good topics in mind, and it was only then that Yang Qian first mentioned his thoughts to the teacher

It took two hours on the highway to reach Heyang County! After exiting the highway, it took nearly one and a half hours on the provincial road, and about half an hour on the rural road to arrive at Longliao Village

The lush forests and the rolling green fields along the way are truly refreshing to behold, capable of making one forget their worries and even the purpose of this visit
