Meanwhile, the official Weibo account of A Day to See All the Flowers had unexpectedly updated!

A Day to See All the Flowers Official V: Good Saturday morning, dear viewers!

The first episode of our show was finally about to officially meet everyone! There were eight participating guests: @Liang Meichen @Shu Menglan @Chi Yan @Xiang Zhinan @Zhou Yanqing @Yu Lin @Xie Jingming @Li Yu

Tonight at eight, All the Flowers would see you there!

The official account had also included an exciting four-minute preview clip below the post.

The clip opened with a sweeping view of the local mountains and waters of South Jade Mountain Ancient Town. Then the shot switched straight to Liang Meichen stepping out of a car while lifting her skirt, intercut with the screams and stunned expressions of onlookers.

After that came the guests receiving their task cards. Shu Menglan explained the task to the camera, and everyone arrived at the teahouse, where they repeatedly stumbled during the "Paper Soldier Stand" segment, creating plenty of laughs.

Then came the Listing Dishes rapid-fire recitation segment. Could the guests complete such a tricky task? By the Cambang River, Yu Lin appeared to be highly skilled at taking photos—but what would the final results look like?

The camera switched again, and the mood suddenly turned warm. With the evening glow filling the sky, Yu Lin ran at the front of the group and sang while everyone else joined him in chorus. Before dawn, Chi Yan and Li Yu stood atop a mountain, quietly waiting for the sunrise. On the snack street, Yu Lin muttered at the Sugar Painting wheel, "Peaches, peaches, give me peaches!"

The background music suddenly changed, replaced by the lingering notes of a pipa as a painted pleasure boat glided lightly over the Cambang River. Rain fell upon the bluestone pavement. Li Yu, dressed in a full Flower Adornment look, stood at the entrance of an alley and beamed at the camera. At Blue Jacaranda Homestay, Xie Jingming and Li Yu discussed playing a four-hand piano piece...

Finally, the preview ended with the words: "We're waiting for you at South Jade Mountain Ancient Town."

Every shot in the preview flashed by in an instant. It only gave viewers a rough idea of the show's flow, but it had thoroughly whetted everyone's appetite!

[Holy shit! What did I just see?! A Day to See All the Flowers is finally releasing its first episode!!!]

[Ahhhhh! I've been waiting forever at school, sob sob sob. I've been waiting to go home this weekend to watch it!]

[I watched the livestream and came here to wait for the full episode! This show is seriously super good!]

[By the way, is that netizen who said he'd wash his hair upside down if Liang Meichen was on this show still around? Want to livestream yourself washing your hair upside down for us? Hahaha, I promise I'll send you a Carnival.]

[Oh my god, oh my god, I can already tell from the preview how good this show is! Tonight, I'm absolutely dragging my whole family in to watch it!]

[Oh my god, who's that handsome guy in the mamian skirt? He's killing me with how pretty he is.]

[The person above, go to @Li Yu.]

[Who gets it? Li Yu is seriously such a hidden gem! You won't regret stanning him! I've been obsessed with his face for ages!]

[The guests on this show are all ridiculously good-looking! Nothing but handsome men and beautiful women!]

[Sob sob sob, I really like Chi Yan, but... but he's not even in this industry at all. chokes up]

Naturally, Li Yu saw the production team's Weibo post while riding to his commercial shoot, and he reposted it immediately.

Li Yu V: Tonight at eight. See you there. @A Day to See All the Flowers Official.

He switched back to his own homepage and took a look, only to discover that his follower count had risen a little during the days he had spent filming the show. He had previously had over five hundred thousand followers on Weibo, but now he had somehow already reached nine hundred thousand!

Li Yu's Weibo account was generally managed by the company. He could only repost scheduled promotional posts and share daily updates. At that moment, Li Yu had no idea what a spectacular sight his backend would become after tonight.

When Li Yu arrived at Goat's headquarters, he happened to run into Zhou Yanqing in the parking lot.

As a model, Zhou Yanqing had taken on countless endorsements. Any casual outfit he wore could have been pulled straight from a high-end custom collection.

Zhou Yanqing was also the only male model in the country with endorsements from all three major global brands, which spoke volumes about his status.

"Brother Yanqing, what a coincidence."

Li Yu got out of the car and greeted Zhou Yanqing.

Several assistants followed beside Zhou Yanqing. He nodded at him. "Good morning, Little Yu. Shall we go up together?"

"Sure." Li Yu followed Zhou Yanqing's pace, his smile brimming with youthful energy.

As they entered the elevator, Zhou Yanqing suddenly said, "I suddenly understand why Goat chose you. You fit their brand philosophy very well."

Li Yu knew Zhou Yanqing was complimenting him, and he said somewhat bashfully, "Brother Yanqing is handsome too."

Zhou Yanqing gave a low laugh but said nothing.

Many people had said the same thing before, yet Li Yu's words made him particularly happy, as if they had touched the softest part of his heart.

This commercial was fairly difficult to shoot, as the entire production would be filmed indoors against a blank backdrop with no physical sets.

Li Yu and Zhou Yanqing changed into their outfits and arrived at the shooting area. Li Yu wore Goat's off-white outdoor jacket, while Zhou Yanqing wore the black version, both classic colorways.

They both carried black hiking backpacks on their backs and held trekking poles in their hands, looking as though they were about to head out and climb a mountain the next second.

People said clothes made the man, but Li Yu and Zhou Yanqing made the clothes. Each wore them with his own kind of handsomeness.

If Li Yu was the bright, youthful type, then Zhou Yanqing was the kind of handsome man who spoke little.

The director had initially arranged three scenes to showcase the clothing's quality. In the first, the two leads met up to go mountain climbing. They would first film the overall look and fit, then capture close-ups of the fabric's condition during the climb.

The second scene involved rain falling midway through their climb, using the shot to demonstrate the outfit's waterproof qualities.

Finally, after the rain cleared, the two would reach the mountaintop and cheer at the mountains below. The subtitles would be accompanied by the slogan: With Goat, I'm always on the road.

Since the first episode of A Day to See All the Flowers was about to air, this commercial had only been decided upon a few days earlier. Goat had therefore decided to insert the completed ad into the later episodes of the show.

At present, the only ad confirmed for the first episode was the milk commercial jointly filmed by Shu Menglan and Liang Meichen, which had been shot before the program began recording.

"Okay! You two, get ready. We're shooting the first take! Action!"

At the director's command, Li Yu and Zhou Yanqing walked together toward the "fake mountain" piled up from foam blocks and began filming the opening portion of the scene.

Considering that Zhou Yanqing was somewhat lacking in dramatic expression, the close-ups of facial expressions focused mainly on Li Yu.

With absolutely no real props around him, Li Yu had to imagine that he was hiking with a friend, that the scenery here was pleasant, and that the air was fresh...

So, he needed to convey his happy mood and youthful vitality through subtle expressions. That did require a certain degree of expression control.

But Li Yu was entirely natural throughout the shoot. With his features magnified on the monitor behind the cameras, there was not a single flaw to be found in his expression.

The on-site director could not help nodding. A shot he had expected to be difficult had been handled easily by Li Yu. It seemed today's efficiency could be even higher than anticipated.

The later rain scene was simulated with water sprayed by machinery. Zhou Yanqing and Li Yu put on their hoods and chatted and laughed as they enjoyed the fine mountain rain.

Goat's outdoor jacket really did have excellent waterproofing. It did not soak through at all.

Zhou Yanqing looked undeniably cool when he pulled up his zipper and put on the jacket's built-in hood, but Li Yu inexplicably wanted to laugh—the stream of water flowing from the brim of the hood suddenly made him think of the Water Curtain Cave.

Zhou Yanqing had no idea what Li Yu was laughing about, but he laughed along with him anyway.
