The director's room backstage of the program.

The staff who came to the meeting to discuss the upcoming recording schedule were all looking at online opinions and whispering amongst themselves.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I think it's a bit risky. There's just too much criticism online these days!"

"That's right, they're basically clearly divided into two camps: one supporting Lin Chu and the other supporting Su Lin. No matter how you film it, you'll get criticized."

"Sigh, it's no use worrying about the audience now. The main problem is that the guests aren't cooperating, so we can't keep filming!"

"To be honest, Lin Chuxin's new songs are quite good. I've been listening to them every night recently."

"Me too!! I heard the station has already planned a music variety show for next year, and they're thinking of inviting Lin Chu. Maybe we can get one too..."

Bang bang bang!

Just as everyone was chattering excitedly, director Wang Zuohai frowned and tapped the table.

"We brought you here to discuss the program and solve problems, not for you to chat idly!"

Let's all share our opinions!

Who wants to go first?

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately fell silent, exchanging bewildered glances, with no one daring to speak.

After all, no one can be sure what the director is feeling or thinking right now.

Therefore, no one wants to be the one to take the lead or become the scapegoat at this time.

The meeting room was eerily quiet.

The director, who rushed over from the scene, couldn't sit still. Although she was also frowning and her mind was a mess.

But she still took the initiative to steer the meeting back to the main topic.

Hesitantly, he looked at the director, who had not yet given a clear answer.

"Director, we've already filmed three seasons of 'Divorce, My Love,' and this season is the first time we've tried a live-streamed filming format. We really lack experience..."

"We certainly can't come up with a better solution right now."

“The old model of recording and editing once a week had a long enough production cycle, which at least allowed us to control the direction of public opinion and manage the scene.”

"But now everything is being broadcast live, the guests are out of control, and online opinions are out of control. Everything is in chaos!"

"All of our staff are extremely busy, and they can't keep up even if they work non-stop."

"Now, can the subsequent steps still proceed as usual?"

"The scene was a complete mess, and I don't know how to appease those guests and continue filming tomorrow!"

Upon hearing this, staff from various departments at the meeting nodded in agreement.

Seeing that someone had spoken up, other departments also began to complain.

"Yes, director, the live broadcast mode is the worst for our camera crew. We just can't keep up, we don't have enough manpower!"

"Not only that, the recording mode can give us some time for post-production editing, but now that it's broadcast live, we can't even cut out all the inappropriate shots, and all sorts of problems arise!"

"The worst part is those guests with tempers. They cry and make a scene at the slightest thing, which is really exhausting."

"If we don't adjust the model and processes, we really won't be able to hold on any longer."

"If it doesn't work out, let's switch to pre-recorded broadcasts. That way, there will be contractual obligations, and the guests will follow the script. It won't be this outrageous!"

"Yes! Right now, the guests are all upset, and there's a lot of public discussion. Let's take a few days off, record it, edit it, and then release it. That's the safest approach!"

Following the opinions raised by everyone, the entire production crew strongly urged a change to the live broadcast format.

If we switch to pre-recorded content, the number of guest-related issues can be greatly reduced!

This would also reduce everyone's workload, making it a win-win solution.

Wang Zuohai listened to everyone's analysis and suggestions, but his expression remained indifferent.

Clearly, it did not achieve his expected results.

In an instant, under the expectant gazes of all the staff, he gave a soft snort and rejected their suggestion, his face filled with disappointment.

"The live streaming mode absolutely cannot be changed."

"Now that the problems of each pair of guests have been exposed, the next step is the most controversial, which is also when the topic will generate the most buzz."

"Switching to pre-recorded content now would be like lowering its own popularity and giving up on itself, wouldn't it?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in a state of distress and helplessness.

No matter how eloquently they speak, if the leader doesn't agree, there's no way to change things; they can only continue down this path to the bitter end.

It seems we'll have to keep working hard.

The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became extremely tense, and everyone's faces were filled with exhaustion.

Wang Zuohai chuckled as he looked at the disappointed expressions on everyone's faces.

"Look at how dejected you all look! Anyone who didn't know better would think our show was going to have to go on!"

"Although the live streaming format cannot be changed, the recording process can be modified!"

"Doesn't this still reduce your stress?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the meeting room exchanged bewildered glances.

They became interested in the recording process of the program again.

In short, the current program is already in a dead end. If it can be modified even slightly to make things easier for everyone, that would be a big improvement!

They all looked up at the director with curiosity, waiting for the next instructions.

Wang Zuohai didn't keep anyone in suspense and directly revealed his plans to the public.

"Originally, we planned to expose all the problems over an eighteen-day trip, and after twists and turns, we would generate the most buzz."

"But now, less than half the time has passed, the conflicts between each team of guests have intensified to the most serious point, achieving our expected results ahead of schedule."

“Those trivial details can be skipped entirely, or even completely omitted from the live stream.”

"We'll only stream the content that viewers want to see most!!"

"The rest can be staged and re-recorded by the guests according to the contract, and then broadcast as bonus footage and extra episodes, without participating in the live broadcast!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the on-site director seemed to understand something and tentatively spoke up.

"Does the director mean a combination of live streaming and pre-recorded broadcasting?"

"Only broadcast the parts that viewers want to see, while re-shooting and re-enacting other mundane content from the script, and then releasing additional episodes?"

"This way, you can use live streaming to create suspense, pique the audience's curiosity, and then take the opportunity to direct them to watch pre-recorded videos!"

As soon as the concept was proposed, the staff in the conference room started chattering excitedly.

The atmosphere became much more excited again!

Wang Zuohai smiled and nodded smugly as he watched the morale gradually rise.

"That's right, that's exactly it!"

"Instead of letting those messy, trivial matters derail the rhythm and cause the guests on set to break down, we might as well just choose to reshoot and record some scripted scenes to reduce conflicts."

"But what the audience most urgently wants to see now is whether the guests will get divorced."

"We temporarily changed our strategy and decided to broadcast the divorce live specifically to maintain viewership and increase buzz!"

"Tomorrow we'll film the segment where the six guests make divorce choices!"

"Arrange for each couple to choose an activity that can only accommodate two people. After the activity, let them decide whether to get a divorce!"

"Next, those who chose divorce will head straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau!!"

"Live-streamed divorce!!"
