Chapter 354 Departure - "Divas Hit the Road 2"
July 1, 2010, 6:00 AM.
In the international departure hall of Terminal 3 at Beijing Capital International Airport, the flow of people gradually increased.
The pilot filming team for the second season of "Divas Hit the Road" has already taken their positions in the corner, with several fixed cameras pointed at the entrance.
Qin Lan was the first to appear on camera.
She was pushing two huge silver suitcases covered with colorful shipping labels.
"So many?"
The director of photography whispered something behind the camera.
Qin Lan walked to the designated spot, parked her suitcase on the side of the road, and stood facing the camera.
Hello everyone, I'm Qin Lan. Happy New Year!
Chen Xiao and Zhang Ruoyun arrived together.
Chen Xiao was carrying a huge hiking backpack that was almost touching the back of his head. He was also dragging a black suitcase in one hand and carrying a plastic bag with several Starbucks hot drinks in the other.
Zhang Ruoyun was wearing a dark blue windbreaker, her face radiating the vibrant energy characteristic of young people.
Chen Xiao was still chatting with Zhang Ruoyun when he saw Qin Lan and called out to her from afar.
"Sister Lan! Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year, Sister Lan."
Qin Lan turned around, saw them, and smiled.
"Happy New Year.
Why did you buy coffee too?
"I bought these for everyone."
Chen Xiao put the plastic bag on the suitcase, took out a hot Americano from it and handed it to Qin Lan.
"Sister Lan, this is for you."
Qin Lan took the coffee and warmed her hands by holding it in her palms.
"Thanks, you're quite thoughtful."
"Of course, I'd like my older sisters to mentor me, so I'll definitely do my best."
Chen Xiao grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.
The three of them stood in the lobby, holding coffee and chatting casually.
The camera faithfully recorded all of this, and the content of the pilot episode will be used in the later editing of these natural interactions while waiting.
Just after 6:30, Fan Binbin's car arrived.
She was wearing sunglasses when she got out of the car. As she pushed open the door, a gust of cold wind rushed into her collar, and she instinctively shrank her neck.
Her luggage was pushed by her assistant; four silver suitcases were neatly stacked on the luggage cart, exuding an aura of power.
She took off her sunglasses, glanced at Qin Lan and Chen Xiao who were already waiting, and smiled slightly.
"You two are here early."
Happy New Year, Sister Binbin!
Chen Xiao greeted them politely.
Fan Binbin walked over and gave Qin Lan a light hug.
"Happy New Year."
Liu Yan and Tang Yan arrived at almost the same time.
Liu Yan pushed three suitcases, wearing a camel coat and her hair tied in a low ponytail, looking gentle and capable.
Tang Yan was wrapped in a long white down jacket, with a hood trimmed with fluffy white raccoon fur, making her face appear only the size of a palm.
"Sister Binbin! Sister Lan! Happy New Year!"
Tang Yan jogged over, her down jacket hood blowing down in the wind. She hurriedly pulled it back up and then hugged Fan Binbin.
Liu Yan followed behind, her steps much more steady.
She and Qin Lan exchanged a hug, and then she whispered something in Fan Binbin's ear. Fan Binbin smiled and patted her.
Li Dabai arrived last.
She was wearing a dark gray wool coat, a thick dark red scarf, and her hair was casually draped over her shoulders; her face was bare.
She walked up to the crowd and yawned.
"Happy New Year! Happy New Year! I was so excited I couldn't sleep all night, I'm so sleepy!"
Happy New Year, Sister Da Bai!
"Yes, Happy New Year."
When can we board the plane?
At 8:30, a black minivan stopped in front of the departure gate.
The car door opened, and Fu Yibai got out.
"We've all arrived."
Happy New Year, Mr. Fu!
Everyone greeted each other in unison, their voices uneven but all smiling.
Fu Yibai nodded, his gaze sweeping over each of their faces.
Happy New Year. Everyone's here, let's begin.
The program's director stepped forward, holding a schedule card, and began reading out the precautions for this trip.
The trip covers 25 days in the five Nordic countries, with a budget limit. Personal credit cards are not allowed, and participants will need to cover their own food, transportation, and some entrance fees locally.
As the rules were read out one by one, the expressions of the female guests grew increasingly serious.
"How much funding is there?"
Fan Binbin went straight to the key question.
The director announced a number.
Several women turned to look at Fu Yibai at the same time, their eyes filled with a mixture of grievance, pleading, and coquettishness, like a litter of cats whose food had been withheld by their owner.
Fan Binbin took a step forward, took off his sunglasses, and looked at Fu Yibai expectantly.
"Mr. Fu, this amount wouldn't even buy you a hot meal in Iceland."
"Yes, Director Fu, the prices in Iceland are so high. A pizza can cost several hundred RMB. This amount of funding is really not enough."
Tang Yan replied, her voice soft and her appearance pitiful.
"We'll talk about running out of money later, let's get going."
The director was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, several women cheered at the same time.
"President Fu is the most handsome!"
Fan Binbin took the lead and shouted.
The camera captured this scene.
Fu Yibai turned and walked towards the waiting room, leaving them with a message behind his back.
"Take good pictures, don't embarrass Chenxi."
"Yes, boss!"
Chen Xiao was the first to stand at attention and salute, his exaggerated movements resembling those of a greenhorn.
At 10:00 AM sharp, the plane took off from the Capital Airport, breaking through the gray winter clouds over Beijing and flying westward.
