Chapter 463: A Director Was Immediately Furious
Yan Min walked over helplessly.
According to his advance plan, in the previous stage, those who successfully completed the task in pairs would only have three to four time grids deducted.
Those who failed to pair up like Chen Jinnian have to participate in the resurrection competition, which wastes a lot of time. So when they come to report, at least ten squares will be deducted, or even more.
But now that the pairing was successful, the program team only sent away one little pig, so it would be very embarrassing for Chen Jinnian to come over at this time.
"You have to find a partner. You can't just start looking for a job right after graduation."
"How can I contribute to the country and society if I don't work? I'm a working class person, not a petty bourgeois who spends all day talking about love. I have to work hard and contribute to the country's industrialization. I can't waste my time on unimportant things."
Chen Jinnian said with a serious expression, as if he was saying, "I am a brick of society and I will be moved wherever I am needed."
"Your marriage is also an indirect contribution to society. Look at your other classmates, they've all found partners. Aren't you envious?"
Yan Min wanted to persuade Chen Jinnian to go back, but Chen Jinnian remained unmoved.
"My heart is as red as the sun. Apart from my lifelong desire to fight for socialism, there is no room for anything else. Moreover, I don't like to make indirect contributions, I prefer direct contributions. I can accept any job, even if it means supporting the country's Third Front construction or supporting the Northwest."
Yan Min rubbed his face in pain. He had heard that Chen Jinnian could randomly piss off a variety show director when he went to record a variety show, but he didn't expect that even if he gave him a script, he would encounter a bug.
"Go and have a relationship first, so it won't delay your return and job search."
"It won't interfere with my relationship if I work first. Besides, if I don't buy a house or a car, which girl would be willing to marry me?" Chen Jinnian asked back.
"You don't have to buy a house. Houses were distributed in the 1980s."
"What? It's free, and it's such a good thing. Then please let me go to work. I can definitely endure more hardships than them. Please."
When Chen Jinnian heard that the house was given away for free, he was so excited that he ran to the minibus regardless of the staff's obstruction.
Logically speaking, there would be no problem for Chen Jinnian to go directly to the factory without finding a partner, but the problem is that letting Chen Jinnian go would directly affect all subsequent plans.
The theme of this issue is [Growing Up].
They correspond to love, work, layoffs, family and the end of the journey respectively.
Chen Jinnian's giving up on the love stage not only means that he will be isolated from the main storyline in the second half, but more importantly, the time grid cannot be deducted.
Each member's time grid is 120 years. By continuously crossing the grids, at the last level, the remaining uncrossed grids are the life span of each member.
Chen Jinnian chose to be single, which meant that he couldn't cross out any boxes in the family section after being laid off. If he wasn't allowed to cross out as many boxes as possible in the first two sections, the program crew might end up with a centenarian.
It doesn't matter for Huang Lei and Hong Lei. They are older and their journey started much earlier. It won't affect centenarians.
But Chen Jinnian can't do that. He was born in 97, and it would be easy for him to send the next generation away while he is still alive.
After Chen Jinnian broke through the layers of defense and got on the car, the director team could only hold an impromptu meeting to discuss the matter.
Some wanted to increase the single penalty for Chen Jinnian and cross out more boxes for him. Some wanted to change the following process and specifically target Chen Jinnian’s life account book. Some even wanted Chen Jinnian to go back and participate in the resurrection match.
Everyone kept discussing until Huang Lei and Zhang Yixing arrived, but no conclusion had been reached.
After much deliberation, Yan Min finally decided, "We'll follow the rules set in advance. As for the final outcome, we still have to respect the guests' choices. If everything is planned, then what we're shooting isn't a reality show, but a TV series."
The content of this episode's reshoots is already the product of the program crew's self-castration. If they cut it again, it can no longer be called "Extreme Challenge."
In the end, Chen Jinnian, the second person to report, had three time boxes crossed out.
Huang Lei and Zhang Yixing, who were in third and fourth place, had four time boxes crossed out.
Then the three of them got in the same car and headed to the next level.
The next level was quite far from the school. It was in a factory in the suburbs. The program team set up a single-plank bridge behind the factory. Opposite the bridge were five wooden boxes. Each box had a ceramic bowl on it, which contained the food coupons they needed.
As soon as the three arrived, the piglet ran over to complain to them.
"Wow, I was devastated. The factory director had just given the signal to start when a group of people came running up behind me and dragged me off the bridge. I couldn't even get them to fight me off. They took all my food coupons."
The piglet was the first to break through. He thought that what the factory director told him was the most important thing, that he must not fall off the single-plank bridge. He never imagined that there was a group of troublemakers behind him.
Huang Lei measured the distance from the starting point to the box and asked, "What if I fall off the single-plank bridge?"
"You can only go back to the starting point and start again, but there's no hope. There are too many of them. If you fall, there's no chance of getting back on track. The food coupons will be snatched away by others in no time."
The piglet explained that he suffered a loss because he was jumped off the single-plank bridge by others.
Huang Lei looked back, and after seeing the group of young men who were eager to try, he immediately gave up the urge to give it a try. Huang Lei knew too well about his old arms and legs. Even if he lost 20 pounds, he would not be able to outrun those young men.
"How about we work together? Xiaozhu and I will be in charge of disrupting the pursuers. Jinnian and Yixing, you two should run fast and seize the opportunity to grab as many food coupons as possible."
After hearing Huang Lei's suggestion, Xiaozhu immediately responded that if the program team did not give him any slack, he would definitely not be able to finish the race on his own.
"Okay, I'll take a look at the terrain first and familiarize myself with the route."
Chen Jinnian had just taken two steps when the quick-eyed and quick-handed factory director grabbed his arm and said, "No, you can't cross the starting line. See the starting gun in my hand. Only when you hear my gun go off can you rush forward."
"I'm just looking around."
"That won't work either. You can only stand here and watch." The factory director was firm.
Chen Jinnian could only shrug helplessly, "Then let's get started. I can't do anything else, but I'm just running, and you can still catch me."
Zhang Yixing hurriedly squatted down and tightened his insoles. As a trainee who debuted as a singer and dancer, he also had good physical strength and still had a chance of success.
When the factory director saw the two men getting ready, he stopped talking and raised the starting gun in his right hand.
"Take your positions, five, four, three..."
There was no sound afterwards.
Chen Jinnian looked up at the factory director who had stopped in surprise, "Where are Er and Yi?"
Before he could finish his question, the little pig behind him urged anxiously, "Hurry up, hurry up! They are catching up."
Chen Jinnian glanced behind him and saw a large group of strong men rushing towards him. He stopped hesitating and started running instantly, jumping out from under the starting line.
The speed was so fast that afterimages appeared in the camera.
It was not until Chen Jinnian ran five or six meters away that Zhang Yixing realized that the factory director had sneakily attacked them, which was totally unethical.
