Korean Entertainment: Perfect Cheating Life

The staff team was busy all night and made full preparations for the shooting.

The camera tripod and large jib were all wrapped in thick sponge, and all the lights were replaced with cold light source LED lights that do not generate heat, and only two lights were used.

This time they will do the shooting without damaging anything.

The artists did not need to prepare for these. They went to bed late last night and got up early today. Although their bodies were sleepy, their brains were extremely excited about going to the Forbidden City. They even couldn't help humming songs on the bus.

There was a microphone inside the bus, and Kim Jae-jong and Lee Tae-rong were pushed up to lead the singing. Lee Kai-chan and Zhong Chenle also did not escape the opportunity to show off their skills.

Their excitement continued until they reached the Forbidden City, where it began to ease.

The owner of the museum is Shan Guanzhu, the gatekeeper of the Forbidden City.

Owner Shan knows very well that the future of the Forbidden City lies in the general public and energetic young people. Therefore, he has been committed to making the Forbidden City and traditional culture gain more attention and love among young people, and is very willing to integrate with young people.

Since 2008, Museum Owner Shan has meticulously planned the “Forbidden City Cultural and Creative” project, allowing the Forbidden City to humble itself and “come down to earth,” becoming “lofty but not cold.”

Facts have proved that Director Shan’s decision was correct, and the Palace Museum’s cultural and creative products became popular on the Internet last year.

Earlier this year, the low-budget variety show “I’m Repairing Cultural Relics in the Forbidden City” became extremely popular, and the H5 “Travel Through the Forbidden City to See You” was also very popular, making the Forbidden City a veritable super internet celebrity.

Most of the proceeds from these activities are used to support the restoration and protection of cultural relics in the Forbidden City.

Mr. Shan was an old friend of Kim So-min's grandfather, and he personally came to the door to greet them.

He will lead Kim So-min and his party to visit the renovated Forbidden City.

Currently, 76% of the Forbidden City is open to external tourists, which is also the area that Kim So-min and others can visit.

Those places that are not yet open to the public will naturally not be open to them.

The owner of the Shan Museum was dressed very simply, wearing just a pair of ordinary old cloth shoes, blue pants and a white shirt.

He had an extraordinary temperament, looking kind and amiable, without any airs at all.

Behind him were several staff members from the Forbidden City.

Some of them are responsible for keeping an eye on the staff's filming equipment, others are responsible for checking whether the lighting is normal, and occasionally they will pay attention to whether they will cause damage to the environment of the Forbidden City.

Kim So-min also showed great respect for this dignified elder. She had her long hair tied into a high ponytail and her outfit was simple and elegant, not overly ostentatious.

They passed through the ticket gate and walked into the square. Everyone looked up at the tall city gate with awe in their hearts.

Jin Xiche was usually a lawless person, but at this time he took the lead in taking out shoe covers from his backpack and putting them on. Others also put on shoe covers one after another. For a moment, everyone walked very carefully.

In such a solemn place, the staff did not deliberately create an atmosphere like they would at home, and the scene was solemn and eerie.

Kim So-min: “…”

Seeing their cautious attitude, Kim So-min suddenly felt that it was too much for her to walk on the street so casually.

However, she had been here many times, and every time she walked normally like other tourists...

Luo Zaimin was quite attentive. He knew that she didn't know how to bring them. Seeing her hesitant expression, he took out a new pair of shoe covers from his bag and handed them to her.

Kim So-min thanked him, kept silent, and followed the crowd to put on shoe covers.

The children of Tiao Meng and Wei Shen dared not make a sound. Since Tiao Meng was more familiar with her, they pulled Wei Shen and Li Tairong and followed behind Jin Zhaomin with visible nervousness.

Museum owner Shan and the staff of the Forbidden City were much friendlier towards these unfamiliar little stars.

In any case, most of the people in front of me from all over the world are children.

They were all wearing plain makeup and dressed simply and elegantly, which was much more serious than the Shamatte pictures that the owner and staff had searched for on their mobile phones before.

When they enter the door, they put on shoe covers and keep a serious face, which makes the staff happy, because these actions show that the children are very serious about visiting, which is worthy of their recognition.

When the visiting artists walked into the main gate of the Forbidden City, they were amazed by the magnificent, solemn and harmonious buildings before them.

There are no other tourists in the Forbidden City today, and the empty gate shows its grandeur and majesty.

They wanted to take photos, but because there were many Forbidden City staff around them, they held back.

When the owner of the Shan Museum saw this, he couldn't help but laugh: "Everyone is a guest. Visitors who come here can take photos. Don't you want to leave beautiful memories?"

With the permission of the museum owner, everyone first expressed their gratitude, and then took photos happily.

When taking photos, you can see the different styles of each group.

Kim Jae-jong, Kim Seo-cheol, Leeteuk, Taeyeon and Jonghyun took the photo. They were very casual and natural when taking the photo; Jinri hugged Kim So-min tightly and the two of them took a photo together.

EXO discussed as a team in low voices, posed seriously for the photos, and their poses drew laughter from those around them.

Kim So-min looked up and almost choked on her own saliva.

EXO's poses are really familiar, and the shape of the roc spreading its wings seems to have been taught by the aunties of the Sunset Red Tour Group.

However, they did not feel embarrassed at all when taking the photos. Instead, they thought it was fun to take photos this way. After taking the photos, they immediately ran to the staff to check the results of the photos.

Kim So-min quietly walked up to them and asked, "What did you think of this move?"

Baekhyun immediately took credit for it, with a smug look on his handsome face: "I saw it online, many people take photos like this, it's cool, right?"

Wu Shixun: "Vest."

EXO members have seen the photos and praised each other: "We are so handsome!"

Wu Se-hun faced the camera, spoke fluent Chinese, and shared his joy with fans: "Aili, we have come to the beautiful Forbidden City, it is very beautiful here."

The artists took another group photo and quickly headed to the next attraction.

They were not qualified to enter unopened areas, and when the staff team filmed things inside the museum, they were actually just filming the staff's explanations and the artists' reactions.

After all, they were just visiting like any other ordinary tourists.

This is also in line with the theme of their variety show, "Experience the connotation and unique charm of flower-growing culture."

The only difference between them and ordinary tourists is that today is Monday and they brought a lot of filming equipment.

Kim So-min and his group are a hodgepodge of nationalities, including Chinese, American, Japanese, Korean, and Thai Canadians.

Kim So-min memorized the script in advance and translated the staff's explanations to them on the spot.

When moving between palaces, many cats in the Forbidden City were running around on the red brick walls. Some of them were very friendly and would not run away even when people approached them. Instead, they would act cute and coquettishly towards them.

Luo Zaimin obviously likes these cats and looks at them without blinking.

Kim So-min asked him, "Do you like cats so much?"

Luo Zaimin: "Yes, they look very happy."

"Oh--"

Kim So-min looked at him, then looked at the cats, thoughtfully.

The tour guide took them to meet the designers of the Palace Museum's cultural and creative industries.

While designing, the designer gave them a lot of detailed explanations during the process.

For example, the meaning of each image in the flower-growing culture, auspicious clouds, Chinese knots...

In the traditional culture of flower planting, many colors have unique meanings.

They explained seriously and hoped that through Peninsula’s variety shows, more young children would have a deeper understanding of the Forbidden City and cultural and creative products.

Director Shan touched the little ceramic princess lovingly.

"The Palace Museum's cultural creation program allows cultural relics to speak for themselves. Our original intention in designing cultural relics is to allow them to communicate with more people and have dialogues with children of more generations."

When he mentioned the Palace Museum's cultural creations, his face inadvertently revealed pride: "So far this year, the sales of the Palace Museum's cultural creations have reached 5 million yuan."

"I believe that children will love our Forbidden City more and more."

Upon hearing this, the artists exclaimed “Wow!”

A revenue of 5 million in half a year, this is the scale of the flower-growing continent with a long history.

Everyone respected all of this very much, listened to the explanations very carefully, and were extremely excited when they saw the cultural and creative products.

Cultural and creative products from the Palace Museum can be purchased in a special room, with a wide variety of products to choose from.

"I know" paper tape, "As if I were here in person" suitcase tag, "Travel by imperial order" luggage tag, earphones in the shape of imperial beads, refrigerator magnets...

A variety of daily necessities and handicrafts with royal characteristics, practical, fun, magical and interesting.

Both are good, both are desirable.

Kim So-min and China Line, who are not short of money, were so excited at the sight.

Liu Yangyang whispered to the staff: "Sister, can I buy these products?"

He speaks with a Taiwanese accent, and his voice is a bit soft and coquettish (the adjective is not derogatory).

The staff asked him: "Where are you from?"

He looked eagerly at the cultural and creative products, then looked at the staff: "Sister, I am a Taiwanese who grows flowers."

“Wow—Taiwanese?”

The staff member was touched by what he said about "planting flowers in Taiwan". She and Kim So-min turned their heads and looked at Director Shan expectantly.

Director Shan looked at the children planting flowers with satisfaction and naturally agreed.

Therefore, the following shooting time turned into a scene of crazy shopping.

They cannot affect the normal maintenance of the Forbidden City and the time they stay in each area is very limited. They enter the Forbidden City at 8:30 in the morning and rush out at 1: in the afternoon.

During the entire visit, they not only learned about the Forbidden City, but also received small gifts from the Forbidden City when they left, including a Forbidden City cultural and creative gift box for each person.

Before leaving, Kim So-min and all the artists and staff bowed to the staff and Director Shan to express their gratitude.

The PD of the production team said to them seriously: "We will carefully edit the video and let all the viewers feel the charm of flower-growing culture."

The destination for lunch had already been booked, which was Beijing's most famous roast duck. The artists and staff booked the place for about two hours.

In order to express their respect and admiration for the culture of the Forbidden City, everyone carefully wrote down their impressions of the visit after returning to the villa.

In the past, they would write their reflections after watching movies or concerts, but this time, they were more deeply moved by their visit to the Forbidden City and wrote more fluently.

The afternoon footage became a session for everyone to share their experiences of the visit.

Since there is not much time left today, everyone can move around freely or take photos using the house's backdrop.

That night, Kim So-min went to visit her grandparents and spent the night there.

The next day, the production team took everyone to a different place to play, this time they came to the Knight Manor International Camp. This place has a lot of facilities, including a large international horse farm.

At the horse farm there, they experienced what it was like to ride a horse.

After a whole day of crazy fun, everyone prepared a barbecue buffet in the European-style manor next to the horse farm in the evening.

Few of these artists are good at cooking, so for the best show effect, the program team arranged a lottery session - drawing lots to decide which step each person will do.

As a result, Kim So-min was assigned the task of preparing food.

She tried for a few minutes, but gave up after only a few minutes.

If she really wanted to, she could raise her cooking level, but the problem was that she didn't want to.

Seeing her reluctance, Luo Zaimin couldn't bear it anymore and took over her job on his own initiative.

Finally, Leeteuk, Kim Jae-jong, Do Kyung-soo, Na Jae-min, and a few other people who were good at cooking worked together to prepare dinner for everyone so that the group wouldn't go hungry.

Leeteuk, who is a good cook, pointed at the lazy group of people, especially a pink-haired girl who was blatantly lazy.

He sighed and said to the children who were helping him, "See? These are useless seniors."

Taeyeon smiled and said, "Jaemin, don't spoil her too much."

Kim So-min took the barbecue that Luo Jae-min handed to her and calmly put it into her mouth.

Her expression was calm, as if Leeteuk and Taeyeon were not talking about her.

"Oh, don't grow up to be a useless senior like me."
