"That medicine, is it really a sleeping and calming medicine? Why haven't I seen it before?"
Anjani felt something was wrong. As an actor...sometimes the pressure is very great.
Whether it is the various news and scandals in the outside world, or the scripts and stories that they often read when performing, if they are a mixed actor, then they may not have this trouble, but if they are an old actor with a solid foundation, many such actors will more or less use the method of substitution when performing and filming, and put themselves into the role in order to better interpret the role.
This method is very good and effective quickly, but it has serious side effects. After a long time and too many shoots, the actors' spirits can easily collapse, they become stressed and mentally disturbed.
This is also one of the main reasons why many people in the entertainment industry have a messy private life over time.
They need various external stimuli or certain stimulating activities to relax their minds and release stress.
Although Ajani has not reached that point yet, she used to need to take sleeping pills to help her sleep.
The more she ate... the longer she was ill, the better the doctor. She had some knowledge about this kind of medicine. The crew didn't even tell her the name of this little blue pill, but only said its efficacy. But looking at the appearance of this little blue pill, Ajani thought about it for a moment and realized... the medicines she had taken before did not match the little blue pill in front of her.
…
"Hey... why are you asking so many questions? They are all good stuff. This is the latest high-tech product produced by my pharmaceutical factory. It's normal that you haven't seen it... It hasn't been officially launched yet."
Alan calmly made up a reason to get away with it.
This is the finalized version of Viagra that a group of useless medical engineers finally came up with some time ago, which is this little blue pill.
Currently, two dosage types have been introduced, one is a strong version and the other is a regular version.
The one Allen used for the experiment this time was the stronger version.
As we all know, the positive effects of Viagra are great, but what about the side effects?
The side effects are dizziness, headache, tinnitus, insomnia, unstable blood pressure and other symptoms.
However, these side effects occur with a small probability, depending on each person's physical condition and the dosage taken.
The dosage of the two current versions is still within a controllable range.
This ordinary version of the little blue pill...
The effect is only about 10 to 20 minutes, which is a popular entry-level model for beginners.
As for the enhanced version, it starts from half an hour... As long as you can control it well, there is no telling what the upper limit is. It is an advanced model that only experienced drivers can control.
…
Allen never cheats his clients when doing business.
Theoretically, the four men and four women who signed up to participate in the filming this time, in addition to seeking excitement, came here for another very important purpose, which is blind date!
Since ancient times, blind dating has been pretty much the same, whether abroad or at home. Excluding the primitive stage when it all depended on one's physique and skills, the rest after entering civilized society...
Anyone who ends up on a blind date, apart from anything else, has some flaws.
This defect does not only refer to a physical defect, but may also be a psychological defect.
For example, they are introverted, honest, don’t have much contact with the opposite sex due to work, or other messy reasons. Anyway, there are all kinds of weird reasons.
And now... with this show, Allen has to act as a good matchmaker and do what a blind date show organizer should do to ensure the success rate of the blind date!
…
Allen scoffed at the kind of blind date method where a dozen women stood on the stage and surrounded a male guest, commenting on him and asking this and that, like selecting animals.
If you want to play, play something exciting!
If the success rate of blind dates cannot be guaranteed, then all blind dates are meaningless. This method is a disguised way of cheating customers!
So... in order to increase the success rate of blind dates, we have to use some secret weapons!
…
The two protagonists, a man and a woman, are honest with each other. Although they don’t know each other too well, it’s not a big problem!
In this wilderness, the two of them wanted to walk hand in hand to the location designated by the program team. The distance was a hundred kilometers!
One hundred kilometers sounds very close. If you drive fast, you can get there in less than an hour.
But what about walking?
What if this location is on the river bank with a tropical rainforest climate?
This time will be extended indefinitely. Not to mention an hour, if they can get out within a week, they will be great!
Here, men and women must support each other and work together to reach the final finish line. If they are not united and one person falls behind, they will not be able to reach the final finish line and will not get the bonus.
In such a situation, the speed at which two people get to know each other will be accelerated.
What if we give them a little more help in this situation?
Like a little blue pill.
…
As the saying goes, when you have a sharp weapon, you will naturally want to kill!
This is an instinct that is etched into the DNA of most men.
No one can help it!
As long as you can't help it, this thing will be done, right?
It doesn't matter whether you reach the destination or not, what matters is the scenery along the way and the feeling of sharing weal and woe, uh...
There are some other things, but they are not important. As long as these are there, this short drama will be able to elevate its core and become both exciting and grand.
…
Another point is that the little blue pill is a new drug that has not yet been launched on the market. Judging from the efficacy of this drug alone, it will definitely be a money-making tool in Allen's hands in the future.
But even good wine needs no bush... No matter how good a product is, how can it survive without advertising these days?
Without advertising, would people know that just this tiny blue pill can directly bring confidence to a man and happiness to a family?
No way!
But if you want to advertise this kind of medicine, regular TV ads are somewhat inappropriate.
You can't suddenly insert an advertisement like this in the middle of the news during prime time, right?
Think about that scene...
One second you were watching the news on TV, and the next second the screen changed, and a black guy with big white teeth bared his teeth appeared in the screen, holding a small box in his hand, with his right thumb raised, gesturing at you: "If you are not confident, use Viagra. Viagra will help you regain your confidence and become a man again. Viagra will change every family. Viagra is trustworthy!"
This kind of crappy advertisement looks a bit unreliable and a bit shameful.
The product features are not easy to introduce.
But if the advertisement is shot with a larger scale, it will be difficult to broadcast it on TV. Even if it can be broadcast on a special channel, it will be in the late night.
This infinitely weakens the advertising effect.
In order to introduce the efficacy of the product, this advertisement must be clear and to the point!
We can’t find a Korean couple to take the photo, right?
A gentle Korean woman, with a face that had been reconstructed, waited for her husband to get off work, then gently took out a medicine box and handed it to him, then said to the camera: "With Viagra... I don't have to look for Lao Pu next door anymore!"
…
After thinking through various advertisements, Allen found that the most suitable company to advertise Viagra was a small film and television company that is still in America, a small company that specializes in making pornographic films.
But the advertisements in this kind of film are infinitely similar to the small advertisements that claim to "cure infertility" posted in rural dry toilets or on roadside telephone poles. They are not credible at all.
After thinking about it, I decided to just do a product placement. I happened to have a suitable project at hand, so I decided to make it possible for Allen to help every contestant's dream.
As long as it is effective, viewers who see this pill on TV will inevitably be curious.
Wait until they become curious, then you can run a more formal single product introduction advertisement.
Anyway... Alan won't suffer any loss, and neither will the contestants. It's a win-win situation for everyone. It's just that it's not appropriate to tell them about the effects of the drug right now.
…
A man and a woman were walking naked in the woods. No matter what the woman looked like, she would look pleasing to the eye in this environment as long as she was not too ugly.
But if you look down from the sky, and consider the group of people following behind them, the overall beauty of the picture would be compromised.
Since this was the first time to shoot a variety show of this type, no one had much experience. The members of the other three groups followed Alan and observed the first photography crew in front.
Alan followed the photography crew not far away with a rubber stick in his hand. He didn't look at the two people in the front. He was looking at the photographer and several other people behind them.
It would be very embarrassing for an inexperienced person to shoot this kind of thing...
At the very least...since the male photographer was so close, it was inevitable that he would have a reaction.
So...Alan made careful arrangements in advance!
The photographer who is mainly responsible for taking close-up shots of people used to work for the "Sailor's Happy Time" magazine that his family owned.
They are all experienced photographers. What kind of women have they not seen?
These photographers have long been able to achieve the state of being able to keep their eyes calm while their minds are distracted, and their hearts beating while their sticks are still.
It is said that the heart is as calm as water! The professional level is very high.
But the photographers next to them were not from magazines. They used to work for the BBC and shot documentaries, wild scenery and the like. They were very capable and it was their unconventional abilities that were needed. Two types of photographers with different backgrounds and specialties joined forces. One was responsible for photographing people, and had to capture the most primitive and pure beauty of men and women as required by Allen; the other was responsible for capturing the "ferocious" scenery along the river in The Gambia as required by Allen.
The plan was originally perfect, but these photographers who came from the BBC lost their concentration once they arrived at the scene and started shooting.
They are all old bachelors, or they are used to shooting in the wild all year round. Have they ever seen such a scene before?
Alan had already seen that some of them walked in strange ways.
This delayed the filming somewhat.
…
"Ka! Those photographers over there, come and gather together!"
Alan shouted with a stern face, and the whole team stopped suddenly. The photographers in front had their cameras taken off their shoulders by their colleagues and came towards Alan.
"I'll say it again, we have limited time for filming. If you have any ideas, you should overcome them by yourself. If you can't overcome them, I will help you overcome them physically!"
As he spoke, Alan smashed the rubber stick in his right hand hard into the palm of his left hand.
Several photographers looked at the thing in his hand and swallowed their saliva secretly...
Using this physical method to overcome it, then... it would probably be permanent! They didn't want to be overcome directly and permanently.
"Boss...we will overcome it slowly!"
"Hmm? Overcome it slowly? I have the time to wait for you to overcome it slowly? Do I need to let you rest on the boat for a while?"
"No, no, no...we will overcome it as soon as possible!"
Seeing that Allen was angry, the photographer who was speaking waved his hands repeatedly.
…
"Heh... But don't worry. In addition to my physical assistance to you, if any of you really can't overcome it, we have a second backup plan. Now is the peak tourist season. Banjul, not far from here, what is going on there now? I don't need to tell you more, right?"
Alan stared at the photographers, smiled coldly, and slowly spoke of the second plan.
"If I find someone who is delaying my progress, I will send a helicopter to take him to Banjul. Haha...those fat women in Spain, Italy, and Great Britain really want white people like you. I will arrange some rich women for you and let you work there for a while. As for the money you earn from your work, it will be regarded as compensation to the crew."
“…”
Upon hearing this second plan, many photographers got goosebumps. If they couldn't overcome it, they would be thrown into Banjul by their bosses to serve as a white duck to receive customers, and they would be surrounded by several big and strong rich women...
This is not as direct as the first solution!
When I thought of this, all the thoughts that had just arisen in my mind disappeared, my eyes instantly became clearer, and I put away the little tent.
…
The shooting on the first day was not difficult as it was supposed to start in the afternoon. There are many mudflats in the middle reaches of the Gambia River. It is the rainy season now, so it is fine to walk along the river. But if you want to stay at night, you can’t stay by the river as it is too humid. You have to go deeper into the shore and find some dry places to build a small shelter.
Not to mention building a house with wood, at least you need to use branches, leaves and other materials to create a place that can shelter from wind and rain.
As the crew went deeper into the shore, Alan followed behind them as if he was on a trip. He didn't need to go forward to shoot, because his identity would bring a lot of pressure to the two contestants. Alan only needed to hang behind and be responsible for overall command.
"You...don't let them have any ideas, then do you have any ideas after watching it yourself?"
Ajani held Alan's hand and stepped on the muddy ground with one foot deep and one foot shallow. She seemed to be deliberately looking for puddles to step on. She asked Alan about what happened just now as she walked.
"Oh……"
Being strict with others and lenient with oneself, double standards have always been the creed of aristocratic gentlemen, and Allen firmly believes in this.
Being strict with others is to allow him to enjoy himself better, otherwise... why invite Ajani to come along?
Is it just to take her to see the scenery?
