Chapter 418 - Come On, Chinese Medicine! (1/2)
…
“My answer is.” While he was speaking, Fang Qiu paused to take a look at Zheng Chao and continued, “Fumigation and wiping therapy are always used to cure the surface injury, while the cutting therapy can cure malnutrition and asthma.
…
“Cupping therapy has the effect of dispelling wind, dispersing cold and relieving pain, and is often used in children with pneumonia, cough, abdominal pain, asthma, and enuresis.
“Chiropractic therapy has the effect of promoting blood circulation, clearing channels and collaterals, tranquilizing Qi, and regulating viscera. It is often used in clinical for diarrhea, convulsion, abdominal pain, and flaccidity.
“Judging from the question, the disease is diarrhea caused by the weakness of spleen, so chiropractic therapy will be the best choice. Cupping therapy is more suitable for another kind of diarrhea. Am I right?” Fang Qiu asked and looked at Zheng Chao.
“Yes.” Zheng Chao nodded nonchalantly and didn’t say anything else.
…
Jiang Miaoyu couldn’t help but get angry as she saw this.
Who the hell was this guy? He obviously picked on Fang Qiu.
Now he was just going to move on after Fang Qiu solved the problem. He had no sense of decency.
…
Compared to Jiang Miaoyu’s anger, Fang Qiu just simply laughed off.
On stage, the competition kept going.
…
The director who saw this was lost in thought in an instant.
…
He was Director Li Huawen. He had a very unique idea of how to make the show popular. He could do whatever he wanted to do because he got enough power and gained great popularity.
“It’s an interesting competition.”
As he was thinking, Li Huawen murmured, “The first round is only a beginning. Things will get more exciting when they get into the next round. Maybe we can change the rules of the next round and make them challenge each other?”
…
Li Huawen couldn’t help but get a little excited when he thought about this.
Although this was a show which promoted traditional culture and Chinese Medicine, Li Huawen was aware that the audience would get bored if they kept focusing on the introduction of Chinese Medicine. It would make them feel that they were having a lesson about Chinese Medicine, instead of watching a show.
Therefore, the show needed to have some shining points to attract the audience.
If they couldn’t get the audience to watch the show, then they couldn’t promote Chinese Medicine at all.
…
Then he said to the host’s headset, “Keep it simple and don’t worry about the rest. Don’t make it too short to record.”
…
At this stage, he had to make sure that he got enough materials for this episode.
Since it was the first episode, they had to make sure enough materials and high quality.
On the stage, the host could not help but give a wry smile as he heard what the director said.
…
He had been looking for the cards for a long time, but there was no card that was marked “simple” on it. How could he ask the simple questions?
…
However, he could only select the questions which he thought might be easy for the contestants.
But as it turned out, he underestimated the contestants.
…
After reading ten more questions, there were exactly 100 contestants left.
…
Looking at the number “100” on the screen, everyone was relieved.
…
Finally, they were able to make it.
Since they didn’t lack qualified contestants, there was no need to move on to the second round.
Although the contestants were relieved, the director was worried.
…
Looking at the timetable, Director Li Huawen found that there was simply not enough time for the first episode.
One episode needed to last for 90 minutes. However, they had only recorded for 80 minutes even though they added the interviews last night.
Although they could edit it and make it to 90 minutes, it would drag if they just used these materials for the first episode.
…
Director Li Huawen was a bit helpless, not knowing what to do.
At this point, a playwright-director had a brainwave and immediately came forward with a proposal. “Director Li, maybe we can ask the contestants to show their talents in various ways, which can not only spice the show but also break the stereotype of Chinese Medicine. What do you think?”
…
“Oh? Good idea,” Li Huawen said, his eyes lighting up.
“But it would be a waste of time to have all the contestants perform, and it would take a long time to rehearse. If we can only ask one of them to perform, who would you recommend?”
…
Speaking of which, Li Huawen and the playwright-director exchanged a glance and blurted out at the same time, “Fang Qiu!”
When they thought of talent, they instantly reminded themselves of Fang Qiu whose videos of the performances that had gone viral on Weibo.
In particular, Fang Qiu had an amazing performance in Song Yaqi’s concert.
“Go, let’s get Fang Qiu,” Director Li Huawen said hurriedly.
….
Without any hesitation, the playwright-director went straight to the stage.
In the meantime, the director spoke with the microphone, “This recording is over. All contestants, please stay where you are.”
…
Then he added, “Fang Qiu, please come here for a second.”
…
As the contestants prepared to leave, they were confused.
…
Some of them whispered, “Why couldn’t we leave after recording? What’s the matter?”
“Besides, of all the people here, why did you only ask for Fang Qiu?”
For a moment, the contestants began to whisper.
…
Those who got the contestants next to them on the stage began to discuss with each other.
Those who didn’t have anyone next to them could only murmur to themselves.
…
Since the director called out to him, Fang Qiu came under the stage.
As soon as he stepped off the stage, the playwright-director immediately greeted him.
