An Athlete Held up by an Entertainment Career

The second issue of "Survival" is set in the East African prairie.

When going abroad for filming, it took a lot of effort for the entire column team to complete the visa and various procedures.

This time I went abroad to shoot, and the accompanying staff, including translators and bodyguards, were much more than when I was filming in the tropical rainforest of Xishuangbanna in the first issue.

After the first episode of "Survival" was aired, many advertisers were renewed one after another, and they had enough funds in their pockets. Considering the expensive shooting equipment and the troublesome transportation of equipment, Gong Sheng simply chartered a flight to go there.

Xu Qiao went abroad for the first time, Mo Chenghong was not at ease, so he took Li Feifei along with him.

Departing from the capital, the plane transited through Ethiopia, and finally arrived in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. The ten-hour flight made everyone a little tired.

Li Feifei pressed his neck with his palm, and yawned bitterly: "It seems to be a stiff neck."

Mo Chenghong glanced at him: "When we arrive at the hotel in a while, take a hot towel and apply it."

Li Feifei nodded, and stood with Xu Qiao waiting for the appointed car to pick everyone up to the hotel.

Now is not the peak season for tourism in Kenya, and there are very few tourists on the streets.Wait until later, in July, when millions of animals migrate from Tanzania to Kenya, and continue until September, when the most tourists are.

The official shooting will not start until the prairie, but the live broadcast is very convenient, as long as there is an Internet connection, it can start anytime and anywhere.

The live broadcast room of "Survival" was opened on the video platform two days ago. At this moment, a staff member in the column group took out the camera, connected the live broadcast equipment and opened the live broadcast room.

Viewers who made an appointment for the live broadcast received a reminder to start the broadcast, and entered the live broadcast room in twos and threes.

"Hi everyone, we have arrived in Nairobi now and are waiting for the driver to pick us up and take us to the hotel."

[Where is Jojo! ]

[It’s still noon in Kenya, it’s getting dark here]

[Wow, wow, the East African prairie, looking forward to it]

The staff smiled and pointed the camera at Xu Qiao. Xu Qiao raised his eyes, and greeted the audience.

The staff briefly introduced the location and general situation of the shooting to the audience, and then asked Xu Qiao to interact with the audience.

[Jojo, how is the wound you were scratched by the razor grass last time? ]

"The wounds are all healed, don't worry everyone."

[What preparations have you made for this shoot, I am super looking forward to it! ]

"I have been exercising at home, and my physical fitness will be better than the first period."

Xu Qiao looked at the barrage and answered a few questions from time to time.The staff here were operating in the background, and a few viewers were selected to present Xu Qiao's autographed photo as a gift, and the live broadcast room was lively for a while.

The buses on the streets of Nairobi are colorfully painted, full of colorful graffiti, loud music is playing on the bus, and everything looks very lively.

Although it is located on the equator, because of the high altitude, it is more than 20 degrees during the day and more than ten degrees at night. There are people wearing short sleeves and sweaters on the street. At first glance, it is hard to tell what season it is.

The car scheduled by the program team hadn't arrived yet. Several young people in the team couldn't help taking out their mobile phones to take pictures when they saw the exotic scenery of the foreign streets.

Xu Qiao was interacting with the audience in the live broadcast room, when she heard a sudden burst of cursing and asking questions from the side.Looking up and frowning, I saw a group of locals coming up aggressively, talking excitedly at the young people who were taking pictures.

A few young people were startled by this posture, and hid back, looking for help to the two translators equipped in the team.

The two translators also panicked, trying to communicate with the group of people in English.

"What did they say?" Gong Sheng frowned and asked the translator.

The two translators wiped off their sweat, frowned and listened for a long time, but they didn't explain why.

Gong Sheng's complexion immediately became uneasy, please come to be the translator, why can't you translate anything?

[What happened? ]

[I don’t know, uh, do these people speak English? Why is it so hard for me to listen]

[It’s in English, but it’s a bit confusing]

The two translators were also very depressed. They entered the column group as translators only after being introduced by others, but they were both excellent students in language schools and had a background in studying abroad.

I thought it was just a translation for communication, not involving professional background and vocabulary, so it shouldn’t be too difficult. After all, they can communicate with Daniel and Matt without any obstacles.

It can only be said that the English of Kenyans is somewhat different from the English they are familiar with every day.

Xu Qiao glanced at the two struggling translators. Kenya's official languages ​​are Swahili and English.

After all, the English of the locals was taught by the British more than 100 years ago. Compared with the development of the British and American native languages, the English used by the locals will be a bit old in terms of terms.

The pronunciation and intonation, accented phrases, and some customary expressions are different, and some Swahili words will be jumped from time to time. It is no wonder that the two translators who use standard English in daily life can not keep up.

Seeing that the conflict between the two parties was intensifying, one of the translation girls was a little frightened by the aggressive approach of the other party, and tears were about to come out.

Xu Qiao took her by the arm and pulled the belt back, stood in front of her, and communicated with a group of locals.

[Is there anything the boss said to the online translator? It’s not good to record programs abroad, and you can’t understand them without subtitles]

[Although I feel that the professional level of the translator is questionable, but Qiao Qiao really has a strong boyfriend]

[Don’t blame Miss Sister, if you are inexperienced, you may not be able to respond to this kind of English at first glance]

[Jojo looks so calm and composed, so handsome]

[Why is my Joe so strong? Woohoo, the equatorial sun is above his head, just like the halo behind the Buddha! ]

[?Upstairs sister, how do you describe it?]

After chatting for a few words, they understood the situation. Xu Qiao explained a few words softly, and the group of people relaxed their expressions and dispersed slowly.

Gong Sheng came over and asked with lingering fear: "What did you say to them?"

Instructing Li Feifei and Mo Chenghong to draw a tissue for the crying translation girl, Xu Qiao said to everyone in the column group: "It's nothing serious, just put away your mobile phones, don't take pictures of the locals."

It was just a few young people in the team who took pictures with their mobile phones, which caused a misunderstanding.

"This period of time happens to be the general election of the government, so the situation is a bit sensitive." Xu Qiao said, and everyone noticed that there were many election posters posted on the street.

"Stop staying in urban areas these days and pay attention to personal safety."

A few young people were so frightened that they quickly put their phones in their pockets.

There is a general election every ten years, during which it is easy to cause all kinds of riots.Fortunately, Nairobi is the capital after all, and security is considered good in all aspects. Except for a small number of radicals, there is no need to worry too much about security under normal circumstances.

Xu Qiao looked at the staff in charge of publicity, and the live broadcast room was still open.In this situation, it is naturally inconvenient to hold the camera and continue the live broadcast.

He walked a few steps closer and said to the camera: "I'm sorry everyone, it's not convenient to live broadcast outside right now. Let's continue when we get inside the hotel, shall we?"

The audience expressed their understanding, and the staff then closed the live broadcast room.

After waiting for a while, the driver appointed by the program team came over.

The driver was a middle-aged Chinese named Dale, and he said to everyone in fairly proficient Chinese: "Sorry everyone, there was a small car accident halfway ahead, and there was a traffic jam for a while."

Helping to move all the photographic equipment into the car, Dale sat in the driver's seat and sent everyone to the hotel.

After Gong Sheng got into the car and sat firmly, he introduced to Xu Qiao who was beside him: "Daler was introduced by my friend who was shooting a documentary in Kenya. He is very familiar with the prairie, and he will drive us in and assist us in filming."

Dale chuckled, and looked at Xu Qiao curiously through the rearview mirror: "There are many dangerous animals on our prairie. The last time I accompanied Director Gong to shoot with your friend, they almost stayed in the off-road vehicle for the entire shooting process. Completed, basically never went down. Because you don’t know when a lion hyena will take the opportunity to attack you.”

"So this Mr. Xu...does he really want to get out of the car for the whole process?" Dale asked with a little confusion on his face.

Gong Sheng patted Xu Qiao's arm and smiled: "Yes, our theme is survival. Of course, it is impossible to stay in the off-road vehicle all the time. Why not change the name to "Observation and Discovery"."

Dale shrugged and smiled, "You're so funny."

Made a joke, Gong Sheng turned his face, half explained to Dale and half to Xu Qiao said: "But we have taken sufficient security measures this time. The six bodyguards are equipped with a total of twelve pistols, and they will watch Xu Qiao 24 hours a day. Joe’s surroundings, including other protective equipment, if there is a real danger, we will definitely save Xu Qiao before the danger happens.”

After arriving at the hotel, Xu Qiao took a shower, put on her nightgown and lay down.

It will take two more days for the official shooting, and it will start only after the preparations are ensured.

After more than ten hours on the plane, she didn't get much rest. Xu Qiao originally planned to catch up on sleep, but when she really lay down, she would not feel sleepy for a while.

Turning on the phone and flipping through it, Xu Qiao logged on to Weibo, and saw that the owner of the Dianxing game, which he had certified, had already reached a six-figure number of followers.

Titled "Survival", the end of the world game has gained a lot of benefits.

Originally, the title price was not high, and the subject matter was quite suitable. "Survival" was a hit, and the number of hits on the Internet platform continued to rise. Documentary channels also rebroadcasted there every day. Even the doomsday game, which was unknown at the beginning, has now become a reality. With a lot of popularity.

In the interstitial advertisement of "Survival", the doomsday game launched a 30-second CG animation.The animation is based on the character models drawn by Xu Qiao. The picture effect is very good. Although it is an advertisement, it can make people watch with gusto.

The response to the ad was good, making him, a painter, a trumpet, highly respected by the audience, and his fans rose rapidly.

After replying to a few comments from fans, Xu Qiao was about to turn off her phone when Xu Siyi sent a message.

"Reached?"

Xu Qiao replied: "I've arrived at the hotel, and I'm already lying down."

After waiting for a while, the chat box over there showed that the other party was typing, but there was no message for a long time.Xu Qiao blinked, thinking that Xu Siyi was busy, and was about to turn off the phone when a picture was sent over there.

Click on the big picture and see that there are blood-tonifying and Qi-enriching medicinal materials such as Codonopsis pilosula and rehmannia glutinosa slipping in the refrigerator.

Xu Qiao: "..." Why?

Xu Siyi: "Do you still want some soup?"

"...No, I don't want to drink."

Xu Siyi: "Then don't get hurt this time."

Xu Qiao responded, and it seemed that he could hear his low laugh through the phone.Turning off the mobile phone and shrinking under the quilt, I felt sleepy, and fell asleep after closing my eyes for a while.
