Chapter 46 The Production Team Comes to Film
byChapter 46: The Production Crew Arrives for Filming
On Monday, an official announcement exploded on Weibo: #LittleFeetBigAdventureCastRevealed#.
Four silhouette posters were released. Aside from a few eagle-eyed fans who could guess one or two, no one else could identify the figures.
The comments section erupted into chaos, with netizens complaining that the production team was teasing them—calling it a "reveal" without showing a single face.
*Little Feet Big Adventure* stands apart from other children's reality shows. It aims to blend entertainment and education, offering young participants a program that is both engaging and enriching.
The show garnered significant buzz even before revealing its cast, naturally fueled by behind-the-scenes capital. More crucially, its success is attributed to the caliber of its production team.
With over a decade of experience in variety show production, the team consistently delivers high-quality content and has even won the Best Variety Show Award.
The production team maintains rigorous control over every aspect of the show. Staff members pre-test all games guests will play, and they meticulously scout all locations and facilities beforehand to prevent any accidents. Safety regulations are also clearly stipulated in the guests' contracts.
This commitment to safety and quality is precisely why the production team enjoys such an excellent reputation.
Netizens even joke that the show can "whitewash" and revive the careers of celebrities with tarnished reputations.
But what does any of this have to do with a three-year-old?
Su Youli only knew he was embarking on an adventure with his big brother and had been in a state of excited anticipation for days.
At 7 a.m., the production crew's shuttle arrived at the entrance of the Shen family's luxurious mansion.
The butler, opening the door with a smile, announced, "The eldest young master has gone to wake the little master."
The executive director, accustomed to handling diverse situations, maintained his composure even when stepping into the Shen family's top-tier North City mansion for the first time.
"No problem at all. Our crew needs to install cameras. Please let us know if there are any areas that are inconvenient for filming."
The butler, having been informed of the impending film crew days prior, showed no surprise. After the crew finished installing the cameras, he meticulously checked each one to ensure everything was in order before heading upstairs to summon everyone.
With other families, the crew might have already rushed upstairs with cameras, eager to capture a bare-faced, just-woken-up shot of Shen Yan to guarantee compelling content for the preview.
Shen Yan had slept with the little one last night and was still asleep.
Knowing he was going to be a "little adventurer" the next day, Su Youli had pestered Shen Lin to play several exploration games with him, such as having his second brother hide in a dark place for him to find.
They played until 10 p.m., when an international call came in. Su Youli, about to brush his teeth, dropped his toothbrush and rushed out upon hearing his fathers' voices.
Su Siwen and Qin Kun weren't particularly worried about You You joining the children's reality show. Instead, they encouraged the little one to get along well with the other children.
The call lasted until past 11 p.m. By the time Su Youli finished his evening routine and got into bed, it was almost midnight.
Consequently, the next day, Su Youli overslept for the very first time.
With Shen Yan's permission, the crew tiptoed upstairs to the second floor, carrying cameras, tripods, and other equipment.
*Knock, knock.*
Shen Yan opened the door, effortlessly composed in front of the camera, a faint smile gracing his lips. "Good morning."
A crew member said, "Good morning, Teacher Shen. Has the little one woken up? We need to mic you both."
*Little Feet Big Adventure* was broadcast live. With the cast kept secret, netizens had been eagerly waiting in front of their screens for the big reveal.
When Shen Yan appeared on camera with a completely bare face, the comments section was instantly flooded with "Good morning, hubby~"
"You You isn't up yet. I'll go wake him."
Shen Yan stepped aside, allowing two crew members to follow him inside.
As staff members of a children's reality show, everyone consciously stayed by the door, refraining from entering further into the room.
The cameraman held his camera in place, first panning across the children's room before focusing on the little bed.
By the bed, Shen Yan's voice was gentle as he bent down to softly pat the little one's bottom. "You You, time to wake up."
[What year is it? Are you telling me this gentle man is Shen Yan???]
[Oh my god, Emperor Shen is so gentle ahhhh!]
[Is that his little brother in bed? Why hasn't the official account revealed the child's identity yet?]
[As far as I know, Shen Yan only has a 16-year-old brother. The one in bed is clearly under four.]
[Holy moly, could it be @#¥#@]
[Could it be what? Don't leave us hanging!]
[No, those words got filtered—I got kicked out of the livestream...]
Instantly, the topic of Shen Yan's relationship with the child became a heated discussion among netizens.
The little one in bed pursed his lips, furrowed his tiny brows, and rolled over.
It was this movement that finally allowed the camera to capture the little one's true appearance.
Wrapped in a cream-colored four-piece bedding set, the tiny figure lay on his side, clutching a long-eared gray bunny tightly in his hand.
As the camera zoomed in, the first thing that caught attention was the little one's incredibly long, dark eyelashes, like those of a doll.
His mouth was small and rosy, with a cute upturned nose. His fluffy, slightly curly hair framed his forehead, and his short limbs lay still as he slept peacefully.
He looked like a perfect angel.
Such a child seemed to possess a natural magnetism for the camera. The cameraman, captivated, ignored everything else and kept the lens firmly focused on the sleeping little one.
[What an incredibly adorable creature~~~]
[Pretty baby, let your big sister gently caress your little cheeks, okay!!!]
[So cute, so cute, so cute!]
[Little one, what color sack do you like? Big sister is coming to get you!!!]
[Baby, you are truly adorable ahhh! From today, you are my baby!]
[So what is the baby's name???]
[Shen Yan, are you selling this one? (drooling.jpg)]
[Hahahaha, this one is 99% new—not for sale at all! (facepalm)]
A single sleeping shot of Su Youli instantly gained the livestream over 100,000 new followers.
"You You, wake up, we're going to be little adventurers!" Shen Yan bent down and picked up the little one.
Su Youli rested his head on Shen Yan's shoulder, still feeling very sleepy.
But he was going to be a little adventurer—how could he sleep in!
After a moment of clinging, the little one finally forced himself awake.
"...Big brother, You You wants to go on an adventure~" the little one murmured sleepily in a baby-talk voice.
Shen Yan picked him up with one arm and turned to take him to wash his face.
Halfway there, Shen Yan patted his little bottom and gestured towards the door.
"Say hello to the uncle and auntie."
Su Youli momentarily forgot his shyness, raised his little fist to wave at the uncle and auntie, his eyes already drooping again as he softly whispered, "Good morning, *sūsu āyí*~"
So soft and sweet, just like a little cream puff.
The crew's hearts melted; getting to film such an adorable, easygoing little tyke first thing in the morning made their job so much easier. Goodwill points +1 +1!!!
If they didn’t know the little tyke was shy around strangers, they would have already rushed into the bathroom to film Su Youli’s morning routine.
After washing up, Su Youli was still clinging to Shen Yan.
Unlike his earlier obedient greeting, he seemed more awake now and became frightened at the sight of several strangers in the room.
Shen Yan rarely experienced him being this clingy and would have loved the little one to stay like this all day.
