Chapter 373 Idol of Idols, the First Generation of Legends
After ninety minutes of flying from LS to Kathmandu, the group finally landed at Tribhuvan International Airport. Yao Jun and Wang Yongbo even had red faces, and the excitement was hard to dissipate.
This flight is totally worth it!
The only thing on their mind now is not to climb Mount Everest, but to buy ten new tickets, get on the plane again, and fly back and forth for fun!
On the other side, just after getting out of the cabin, Bifang saw a sturdy white man holding a sign with the words "Fang Shen" printed on it.
Yao Jun took a deep breath of fresh air and explained after seeing the sign: "It should be from the guide company. Come and take us there."
Bifang nodded and walked forward to greet the other party. Before he could introduce himself, the white man came up to him enthusiastically: "Oh my God, I can't believe that I will be a guide for the famous GOD FANG."
"Do you know me?"
"Of course, I've seen the show you recorded in the Ugly Country. It was so exciting. Your fight with the brown bear was so exciting! I'm Rob, your real fan and your team leader. I was really surprised when the company showed me your information. I didn't expect that they would arrange for me to lead your team. Sorry, I was a little too excited."
Bifang raised his eyebrows, looked back at the somewhat embarrassed Yao Jun, and didn't say much. He also smiled and walked forward to shake Rob's hand: "I'm glad to see you, too."
After a few pleasantries, Rob got down to business.
"Although I know you want to climb Mount Everest right now, I'm sorry that it's getting late now, and you just arrived in Kathmandu and need to rest. So I will take you to the hotel to rest tonight, and then take you to the Everest Base Camp to meet up with other team members the next day. What do you think, Mr. Bi?"
"Wait, what about the other team members?" Yao Jun, who was listening to the arrangements in the back, was suddenly confused. He immediately looked up at Rob and said angrily: "Didn't I say to book it directly? No other people! I paid extra!"
Rob waved his hands repeatedly: "I know, I know, but they were all booked before Mr. Yao came. Mr. Bi should know that there are only two window periods every year for climbing Mount Everest. There are a lot of people climbing Mount Everest at this time. Excluding the adaptation training time, you have already arrived a little late. There are not enough guides. But don't worry, they will only go to the base camp with you, and then let my colleagues lead the team. After that, I will only be responsible for leading you. Don't worry about this."
"Can."
Having said this, Bifang nodded. Seeing this, Yao Jun didn't say anything more.
When Rob walked to the front to lead the way, he suddenly turned his head to look at Yao Jun and asked in a low voice: "How did you find it? Is it reliable?"
I have indeed filmed a program in the Ugly Country, but I have never dealt with a brown bear!
The one who dealt with the brown bear was Mugalen. The only bear he had dealt with was the black bear. It was obvious that this guy only took a look at the introduction and got everything confused. He was not a fan of him at all and might not have even heard of him before.
But Bifang was not angry. There were more than seven billion people in the world, and he was not a famous scientist who would change the world. There was no need for everyone to know him. He was just a generous customer to the other party, so it was normal for him to be polite.
"Absolutely reliable! Many climbers have found this company. It is absolutely professional. Every guide has a professional qualification certificate. If you don't believe me, you can ask him."
"I believe it, but how much did you pay for the one-on-one service?"
"Don't ask, it's not too expensive."
"Hurry up and tell me."
Yao Jun scratched his head. "Sixty-five thousand per person, including the guide. Originally our team was supposed to be eight people. I made up for them. I thought the remaining few would just refuse, but I didn't expect to change the leader."
"Red money?"
"Ugly knife."
"hiss!"
Bifang had never been to Mount Everest in his previous life, and he never expected that hiring a guide would be so expensive?
Sixty-five thousand ugly dollars, an ordinary person would have to save for several years even if he or she did not eat or drink.
Wang Yongbo also counted on his fingers and was shocked. The turnover was too high. When would Langya be able to earn that much?
But he thought again and felt that this was normal. No matter how awesome the guide was, it was impossible for him to lead people to the summit directly. They would reach the summit every time they came. The one who reached the summit the most times was not the mountaineer but the guide. So the best they could reach was 8,000 meters each time, maybe even less than 8,000 meters. However, the danger level was still ridiculously high. It was extremely risky and they were making money with their lives.
And after climbing once, it is impossible to continue leading a team immediately. At least a period of rest is needed. It is not easy to lead two teams in one climbing season.
Bifang finally understood: "It seems that they are all rich people. Besides wanting to make more money, I'm afraid it's not easy to refuse directly, as it's easy to offend people."
At Business Wizards, money is the measure of everything.
"I'll return it to you when I get back."
"No need, it's less than two million." Yao Jun waved his hand, "If you consider me a friend, don't mention this matter. It's really unnecessary to mention money and it hurts our feelings."
"Thank you." Bifang lowered his head and thanked sincerely.
Yao Jun, whose online name is Prince Mu, if it weren’t for this guy’s lavish spending, he wouldn’t have become so popular so quickly, right?
Yao Jun rubbed the back of his head and said, "Hey, don't be polite. Hahaha, my dad always thinks I'm a spendthrift. I wonder how happy he would be if he knew I spent all my money on you."
After settling down in the hotel, Bifang immediately received messages from Jarrett and others. After saying hello to Yao Jun and Wang Yongbo, he immediately ran towards the agreed location.
As soon as they met, before Bifang could ask about the photography team, Jarrett put his arm around Bifang's shoulders and said mysteriously, "I know you want to ask me about the photography team, but don't worry, I have a more important surprise waiting for you."
"Surprise? What surprise? You prepared a drone for me that can fly up to 8,000 meters?"
Jarrett rolled his eyes, a little speechless: "Eight thousand meters? Are you kidding? Forget eight thousand meters, I've never seen a five thousand meter race! There's someone who wants to meet you!"
"Someone wants to see me? Please ask him to stay away. I don't have time to see anyone." Bifang thought there was a real surprise and was disappointed. He thought there was something, but it turned out that only one person wanted to see him? Who is worth my special trip to see? Is he a star?
"Hey, don't regret it! I'm sure that if you knew who he was, you would definitely want to meet him and beg me to go meet him!"
"What a joke! Even the president of the Ugly Country wouldn't let me beg you to go see him. Is there anything wrong? If not, please show me the equipment. Otherwise, I will go back." Bifang picked his ears impatiently and turned to leave.
Seeing that Bifang was really about to leave, Jarrett didn't bother to play dumb anymore and immediately shouted, "It's David Attenborough! He wants to see you!"
Bifang stopped abruptly, his eyes widened, and he looked back at Jarrett in disbelief. His mouth slowly opened, and his expression was almost ferocious.
Jarrett nodded with satisfaction and repeated, "David Attenborough, it's not a coincidence, he's the one you imagined. He happened to be passing by Kathmandu, and I happened to have his contact information. After all, we are in the same industry, and the Discovery Channel often shoots documentaries. I wanted to meet a senior in the industry, but when we met, he heard that you were there and wanted to meet you."
Bifang only felt his brain a little dizzy, and he couldn't react for a moment. Then he was overwhelmed by great joy and almost jumped up from the spot!
If there is anyone in this world whom he can admire, it is only this old man.
David Attenborough!
The author of Planet Earth, Frozen Planet, Human Planet, Life Story, Africa, Blue Planet, Hunting and many more, the father of world documentary!
It can even be said that he is actually the predecessor of Bifang's live broadcast of nature, but not through live broadcast, but through documentaries, turning nature into art just like painting!
In past and present lives, the father of world documentary is Bifang's idol, yes, an idol.
In addition to his documentaries that are like works of art, David Attenborough is also considered to be the longest-traveled person in history, having personally explored almost all known ecological environments on Earth!
Spend your life doing what you love, experience every corner of the world personally, get to know every species, and gain a deep understanding of this lonely blue planet. Learn about it, understand it, love it, and protect it.
This is what Bifang has always dreamed of!
After traveling through time, Bifang once thought that he might never see his idol again. It was not until later, when he searched for documentaries on the Internet, that he discovered that there was almost an identical person in this world, with the same name, the same works, and the same experiences!
Is there anything happier than this?
Now, the idol actually wants to meet him!
"Hurry, hurry, take me there!"
Bifang excitedly grabbed Jarrett's sleeve and dragged him straight to the intersection. Jarrett reached out to stop him, but found that he could not separate himself from Bifang. Bifang's hand was like steel, carrying him upstream. Wherever they went, people had to make way for them. The two of them were as solid as reefs in a river.
With no other choice, Jarrett could only yell, "Wait, wait, we're going the wrong way. It's not here, it's on the other side. Hahahaha, I told you, you'd definitely beg me to take you there!"
Bifang suddenly realized that he didn't know the direction either, so he let go of his hand. Jarrett didn't dare to delay any longer, and quickly took Bifang and ran towards the destination.
While walking through the crowd, Bifang took out a drone from his backpack. Jarrett, who was leading the way, looked at him in surprise: "Do you always carry a drone with you?"
"No, I was planning to shoot some photos of Kadu tonight as a warm-up for the live broadcast. I didn't expect you to give me such a big surprise. I want my fans to see my idol! And see who their idol's idol is!"
Jarrett smacked his lips and shook his head. He had thought that Bifang might be interested in David Attenborough, but he had not expected that he would be so excited.
While speaking, Bifang quickly turned on the live broadcast, and many fans who came in at the first time even heard Bifang say that he wanted to meet his idol.
Idol of idols?
[Damn, Fang Shen actually started broadcasting early? I'm number one! ]
[Langya is getting worse and worse . There was no advance notice. I only know that it will be broadcast soon, but there is no specific time.]
[Idol of idol? Who said Fang Shen is my idol? He is obviously my husband! ]
[Bah, this person is so shameless. If you have money, please buy a mirror. If you don’t have money, just take a piss and look at yourself to see if you are qualified to interfere in the relationship between Fang Shen and me.]
[Are we going to climb Mount Everest? Why do we feel like we are on the street? ]
[This looks so familiar, is this Kathmandu? I think I've been here before, in Nepal. Is Lao Fang really going to climb Mount Everest? Holy shit, that's too awesome, right?]
[So, what is Lao Fang doing? Who is his idol? ]
"Hahaha, hello everyone, I'm Bifang. I won't say any opening remarks for now, after all, I haven't officially started the live broadcast yet. I originally wanted to start a live broadcast today to show you the capital of Nepal, Kathmandu, but something unexpected happened. My idol is here, and he wants to meet me!"
Bifang followed Jarrett closely and flew the drone high, and the audience immediately saw Kathmandu, which was full of historical atmosphere.
As mentioned before, this historic city is full of vicissitudes. Sometimes you may even cry just by staring at a wall.
[If Fang Shen replies to me, I will tear a great white shark apart with my bare hands, count the grains of sand in the desert, put rings on ants, and install an elevator on Mount Everest]
Bifang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "My netizen named Really Handsome, I saw your comment. Please install the elevator quickly so that I don't have to climb up with so much trouble."
Ah this.
Thousands of kilometers away, a viewer named pp suddenly became muffled. He wanted to make a joke, but there were hundreds of comments every minute, so how could they see him? But he never expected that God Fang actually responded to him.
"Haha, just kidding. I'll keep you in suspense about who my idol is. You can guess." Bifang kept the suspense and then gave the camera to Jarrett. "I wonder if you have any impression of Jarrett. Do you remember the last Discovery Channel program? Whether it was Ocean or Multiplayer Survival, the director behind the scenes was this guy. He's the gold medal producer of the Discovery Channel!"
Jarrett cooperated and greeted him, saying hello in Chinese. After all, no one would complain about having high traffic.
"I specially invited Jarrett this time to help me shoot the live broadcast better. Tomorrow, I will climb Mount Everest with the photography team, the No. 1 Shepherd Prince, and my 'immediate boss' Vice President Wang. Of course, the latter two are just for fun, so don't take them seriously. I don't think they can even last 3,000 meters."
"Including the guide, there will be about eight people in total. The best team size for climbing Mount Everest is seven people, and sometimes eight people can be reached. This is a reasonable configuration for climbing Mount Everest. If there are more people, it will be bloated and the climb will be very dangerous."
Danger?
What's the danger? Can't the guide take care of it?
The audience raised questions at the right time.
"It's not that the guides can't take care of it, but because many places on Mount Everest are difficult to pass, and adding one more person will waste more time. Many places on Mount Everest are glacier cracks and nearly vertical cliffs. If you want to pass, you can only use long ladders or ropes to connect two rocks with tools to create a passable path for climbers to pass through in turn. It takes a few minutes to more than ten minutes or even half an hour for each person to pass. Adding up the cracks of all sizes, it may take even half a day to add one more person. The weather on Mount Everest is changeable, and accidents are likely to occur in such a short time, and the whole team will be in danger. Don't think it's incredible, it's actually true. At high altitudes, even if you carry oxygen cylinders, in a low-pressure, extremely cold environment, normal people will move slowly, have difficulty breathing, and even their IQ will be affected."
[Slow motion, how slow? Slower than in the snow? (funny)]
【Sword～～～～come～～～～! 】
Bifang smiled. At this moment, Jarrett, who had been leading the way, suddenly stopped and pointed in front of him and said, "We're here. He's inside."
The sight is through the floor-to-ceiling windows reflecting the starlight.
Inside the coffee shop, an old man sitting by the window was waving at Bifang with a smile.
