Chapter 11: Make the Leshan Giant Buddha Get Up, You Sit There! (Seeking Data)

"What?"

"You want to be part-time cameramen?"

Hearing this, PD Yao opened his mouth wide in shock.

The production team was also stunned by Lin Yu's wild ideas.

"Uh."

"Okay."

PD Yao only hesitated slightly before giving Lin Yu this "employment" opportunity.

After the Chicken Brother incident, Running Man's reputation had been criticized, and coupled with several delays, it had already made the audience lose the desire to watch, and the ratings had plummeted.

This forced them to change from the recorded format that had continued for ten seasons to a live broadcast format.

PD Yao didn't have high hopes for this live broadcast format of Running Man; after all, it was like crossing the river by feeling the stones, and the future was unknown.

But Lin Yu's sudden appearance made the ratings of this live broadcast of Running Man reach 15%.

This meant that on the three major platforms—Youku, Tencent, and iQIYI—for every 100 people watching the live stream, 15 were watching Running Man.

This rating was quite astonishing!

It was recommended on the homepage of major platforms and ranked at the top of the live popularity list!

And the ratings were still showing signs of rising.

PD Yao knew that all of this was due to Lin Yu not playing by the rules.

It felt like a dream back to the era of Deng Chao and Chen Chen Chichi, which almost became a variety show chased by the whole nation.

"The follow-up cameramen are in the pickup truck behind."

PD Yao pointed to the back of the production team; from now on, it would all depend on Lin Yu to maximize the show's effect.

"Alright."

After receiving the director's token, Lin Yu didn't say more and led Song Song Yuqi and Fan Fan Chengcheng to the pickup truck behind.

"Damn! Lin Yu, I just realized you're going to replace the follow-up cameramen."

"Wow! Then we can ride in the car all the way there."

"Lin Yu, you're too amazing! Why didn't I think of that?"

"Hahaha! Then we don't have to walk."

Song Song Yuqi and Fan Fan Chengcheng widened their eyes, flashing with wisdom.

"Sigh!"

"Hurry up."

Lin Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed deeply.

This Running Man really shouldn't be filmed too much!

It affects intelligence too much!

It felt like these two people had just connected to 2G internet in the village; he had been talking for so long, and they only just realized it—this damn dullness!

Without further ado,

Lin Yu found the follow-up cameraman on the pickup truck behind.

This also created a problem: follow-up cameramen usually film in front of the artists' cars.

For example, if Sha Yi is riding a bicycle, you can't film his back from behind, right!

This meant they had to disguise themselves.

To avoid the alert eyes of everyone.

"Teacher."

Lin Yu looked at the cameraman who was about the same size as him and said politely.

"The director said you can take paid leave today."

"Let me ask if you agree?"

As soon as Lin Yu finished speaking, the cameraman put down his camera and ran away.

This scorching sun, the August heat of Sanya, Hainan.

Moving a little makes you sweat profusely, let alone carrying a 30-40 catty camera.

And it's paid leave; not running away would be unjustifiable!

The other cameramen were also envious, sighing pitifully at the back of the taxi.

"It's fine! We'll handle the follow-up filming task later, teacher, you guys just rest."

Seeing this, Lin Yu patted his chest confidently.

"Ah! Really?"

"Lin Yu, I've seen you're a good person since I was a kid."

"Good brother, you're reliable! When there's something to do, you really step up."

The remaining cameramen were all beaming.

Although they didn't get a day off, at least they could rest more, which could be considered openly slacking off.

"By the way, where is the brother who just ran away from?"

Lin Yu asked carefully.

"Qingdao, Shandong."

"Do you want us to teach you a few sentences of Qingdao dialect?"

The cameramen were happy; everyone guessed Lin Yu's idea—he's truly a genius!

To be able to mix into the cameraman team and fish in troubled waters, this Lin Yu is truly too smart.

"I don't think that's necessary."

Lin Yu smiled; he still had that much linguistic talent.

"Holy crap! Brother Yu, you're good!"

"I'm a native of Qingdao, and I don't speak as standard as you."

Fan Fan Chengcheng was stunned, his heart greatly shocked.

"Lin Yu, I can also speak Qingdao dialect."

"I am Kunka, do you want to be my Kunka?"

Song Song Yuqi looked at Lin Yu sarcastically; she hadn't settled the score with Lin Yu yet!

"Hahahaha."

"Alright, little girl, I was wrong. We're running out of time, let's hurry up and change clothes."

Lin Yu had the production team provide the three of them with sun protection, masks, arm sleeves, and the same clothes as the follow-up cameraman team.

Clothes make the man!

Lin Yu, Song Song Yuqi, and the others didn't look out of place at all, directly transforming into three cameramen.

"Hiss! Brother Yu, isn't this too mean? Doesn't this count as breaking the rules?"

Fan Fan Chengcheng frowned, a bit worried.

"Fan Chengcheng, listen to me, take your ID card, buy a plane ticket to Sichuan now, go to Shuangliu International Airport, take the civil aviation bus to the terminal, take a human-powered tricycle to Xinnanmen Bus Station, take a public bus and transfer to line 3, go to the Leshan scenic area, there's a giant Buddha there, make it get up, you sit down; if it doesn't get up, you sit on its head."

"Brother! This is a variety show. Does talking about morality and character do justice to the audience's time? Does it do justice to the video memberships the fans paid for?"
