The two exchanged glances and discussed tactics through the air, then began to enter the field in the order of first come first served.
According to the general rules of the entertainment industry, either the high-profile celebrities would appear first, or the high-profile celebrities would appear last.
But in Kuiguang Group, the main principle is fair distribution, whoever arrives first gets to leave.
Under the capture of countless cameras, 16 guests walked out of their respective doors one after another and were clearly divided into four teams.
Chief planner and chief director Qin Xin was on the stage at this time, holding the microphone, nodding and smiling at the people who had already sat down in the guest seats.
The "atmosphere group" invited from the audience also cheered at the right time.
Generally speaking, if it is other variety shows such as music variety shows, there should be quite a few people standing on the stage at this time, acting as mentors or judges.
The backstage director and editor will also add some other people's "psychological activities" when the stars enter the scene, and make some commercial boasts.
But at Kuiguang Group, all the industry's default rules have been broken.
Apart from the atmosphere group that livens up the atmosphere, everything else is very free and easy.
“Welcome to Eastern July’s exclusive sponsorship of “Escape Room Survival”!”
"Then I'm sure all the guests can't wait." Qin Xin smiled, "I believe everyone already knows the basic rules. Now I'll remind you of the most important points."
"You are a group of explorers who accidentally discovered that a demolished high school has inexplicably reappeared before your eyes. Driven by curiosity, you decided to go in and take a look..."
"Please note that your friends may have already compromised with the weirdness in high school. Their goal is to use your failure to escape..."
"There will be a lot of weird stories passed around in high school, and these are the key information you rely on to escape!"
"The weirdness can't end your life immediately, but you only have three chances to fail. Once you exceed that number, you will be eliminated directly!"
"Except for safe areas, no more than six people can gather together. If there are more than six people, they need to separate within one minute, otherwise they will encounter extreme events."
"Each person can only spend two hours in the safe zone every day. If they exceed that time, they will be forced to leave and then banished to a place in the secret room."
"Each team has a headset and a walkie-talkie to communicate with other teams to exchange information. This can be used once every four hours and no more than five minutes at a time."
"Each team has three flashlights, and each flashlight has only enough power for four hours. Please pay attention to the power allocation."
"The first stage of the secret room lasts for five days. During these five days, the guests will have to eat, drink and live in the secret room. Please make sure to budget your resources carefully!"
"Each team will enter the school from a different place. Only by working together can you find the exit to escape!"
Hearing this, everyone's face looked a little ugly.
The more people there are, the worse the atmosphere of fear is...but it is obvious that the production team does not intend to gather a large group of 16 people at the beginning.
This doesn't even give them a little buffer time! Moreover, these rules may seem insignificant at first glance, but if you take a closer look, you will find that the production team has deep malice.
If more than six people gather, extreme events will occur... This condition not only limits the possibility of guests forming groups, but also leaves an excellent way to harm other guests!
There would definitely not be enough light in the secret room, so it might not be difficult to hide someone secretly.
If a guest with ulterior motives sees six people gathering together, then quietly follows them, and immediately escapes after an extreme event is triggered, the consequences will be disastrous! There is also a mechanism for exchanging information between groups, which at first glance seems to be a compensation for not allowing groups to gather together, but if you think about it carefully, this intercom device only has one earphone, which means that only one person can hear the information reported by the other party.
You know, there is competition among team members!
One can only imagine how many people would tamper with other groups’ information to ensure their own escape.
What's more, there is competition between groups...
There is also the time allocation of the flashlight. A full day is 12 hours. Even if the secret room provides time for the safe zone and sleeping time, there will definitely be a gap of 1-2 hours in the middle.
What would the traitor do if the light source was completely lost? Feng Luo understood these rules in an instant and couldn't help cursing in his heart: "The person who designed this secret room is really cruel!"
Who on earth could come up with such a vicious design? The essence of most variety shows nowadays is the exchange of resources... You can make fun of them, but they are all within a limit, at least they won't ruin the personalities of the guests.
But in this escape room, the characters can easily collapse... If any disputes arise later, the program team can easily be besieged by out-of-control and rampaging fans.
All I can say is that Kuiguang Group is worthy of being Kuiguang Group, and it dares to take risks that no one else dares to take.
However, these are things that the Kuiguang Group and the program team need to consider, not the participating guests, and not things that she, Feng Luo, needs to consider.
For her, the most important thing is how to win the variety show beautifully while maintaining her personal image.
Moreover, being able to be in the same team with Shang Qianyu... is an advantage to some extent.
Feng Luo looked at Shang Qianyu's hands which were tightly tucked in his pockets. If nothing unexpected happened, they must contain key special props sent by Kuiguang Group.
Feng Luo did not think there was anything wrong with this behavior of favoring one's own artists.
Kuiguang Group spent a huge amount of money to invite so many celebrities to participate in variety shows, build venues, promote and publicize, and set up such good rewards... They are not here for charity! On the contrary, being able to compete relatively fairly for this resource was beyond Feng Luo's expectations.
After all, the Kuiguang Group only sent one "family member", Shang Qianyu, and he happened to be assigned to the same "Group No. 1" as himself.
Feng Luo believed that relying on his ability to maneuver, it would not be a problem to use Shang Qianyu's advantage to defeat other groups, and it would not be difficult to finally rank ahead of Shang Qianyu in the same group.
This little girl is about the same level as me, but she has not experienced much...
As for the other two, one is a third-tier actor and the other is a comedian no one has ever heard of, there is no need to worry.
Thinking of this, Qin Xin continued on the stage: "Now, each group will nominate its own team leader. The team leader will have a small authority - in collective decision-making, when the vote within the group is 2:2, the team leader will be able to make the final decision."
Hearing this, the four members of Group 1 looked at each other.
After a few seconds, Zhang Wei broke the silence again: "Then choose one of the two ladies?"
If we rank them based on seniority, the team leader can only be between Feng Luo and Shang Qianyu.
But Feng Luo thought about it and felt that he should not be the first one to stick his head out - there is a traitor in every group, and the first one to stick his head out will be shot down, so the person who is the team leader can easily become the traitor's primary target of attack.
As an inconspicuous team member, you can observe the team leader's decisions to determine whether he is a mole.
So she found a perfect excuse: "I have no experience in this kind of game. This is not a place to judge by seniority. We should let capable people be the team leaders."
Shang Qianyu shook his head vigorously: "I can't do it, I'm a coward!"
Seeing that both big shots refused so straightforwardly, Zhang Wei looked at Geng Fangyi beside him and asked, "Then choose one between us?"
Geng Fangyi thought for a moment and said, "I haven't played a horror room either... Have you played one?"
After all, it involves subsequent film and television resources, not just playing in the escape room, so Geng Fangyi decided not to try his luck.
Zhang Wei shook his head: "I haven't played it either, but I have read some related novels."
"Then you can be the team leader." The other three looked at each other and agreed, "It's better to have seen a little than to know nothing."
After assigning the tasks and taking the flashlights from Qin Xin, the four of them walked into their exclusive entrance.
Bang!
The exit door behind him was slammed shut.
The room, which was bright originally, suddenly became pitch dark.
Click. Zhang Wei did not choose to save power at the beginning. He directly turned on the flashlight and quickly shone the surroundings.
Several people found themselves in a rather small room. The mottled and weathered walls, the slow-moving clock, the old and broken chairs, the rusty lockers and several sheets of frosted glass together created a strange picture.
Six sets of tables and chairs were arranged in two rows of three columns, two of which had collapsed.
After making a preliminary determination, Zhang Wei cautiously shone the flashlight above his head - the malicious intent of this program crew was quite obvious, and it was not impossible that they had placed some scary things above his head.
Nothing was found on the ceiling of the room except an old fluorescent tube hung with white silk.
"Is this the classroom?" Shang Qianyu asked with trembling teeth.
"Yes." Feng Luo nodded. She was a little scared at this moment. "What should we do now?"
"Since we are born in the classroom, let's search the classroom first to see if we can find anything." Zhang Wei thought for a while, "Even if the production team is inhumane, they will definitely proceed step by step and will not let us encounter particularly huge problems at the beginning."
"Turn on all three flashlights and split up to search for clues in the classroom. I think it's more important to get as much information as possible during the precious 'newbie protection period' than to conserve power."
Shang Qianyu clenched the 10-yuan prop coin in his hand again, carefully walked to the center with the flashlight, and touched the hanging white silk from a distance.
After making sure that no monsters would climb down the white silk, she walked closer and began to look for clues.
"Why does it feel like Bai Ling's height from the ground...is it hard to hang a high school student? Isn't it too short?" Shang Qianyu muttered, and then decided to ignore this unimportant detail.
After slowly kicking away the seat debris underneath, a little paper man suddenly came into view!
It looked so lifelike, as if there was really a person who was flattened and buried underneath!
From her angle, the paper figure seemed to be giving her a faint smile! Shang Qianyu was frightened and took several steps back, shouting, "Here, here, there is something under the white silk!"
The others who were still searching other parts of the classroom immediately stopped what they were doing and slowly gathered around.
Zhang Wei shone the flashlight at the paper figure.
"There's a line of words written on the paper figurine... I, I'll go take a look."
Zhang Wei squatted down and read out the words word by word: "The teacher hates people who don't hand in their homework before 17:00 the most!"
Feng Luo was stunned for a moment: "Before 5 pm...hand in the homework? Is this a clue?"
Geng Fangyi turned off the flashlight in his hand and nodded, "It should be."
"Then what will be the consequences if I don't hand in the homework before the deadline?" Shang Qianyu's teeth were chattering, but he still insisted on asking.
"This paper man under the white silk... isn't the meaning very clear?" Feng Luo was already sweating profusely on his forehead. "The doors and windows here are completely sealed. If we don't hand in our homework, we will definitely lose a life!"
They have to live in a secret room for 3 weeks!
I'm facing a death crisis right after entering?! Where's the protection period for novices? Geng Fangyi swallowed his saliva: "Don't panic, it was less than 11 o'clock in the morning when we entered the secret room, and it's still early before 5 o'clock in the afternoon. This classroom is so small, how can we not find clues in a few hours?"
After hearing this, Feng Luo and Shang Qianyu both breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, that was relatively easy! However, Zhang Wei, who was squatting on the ground, shook his head and poured cold water on everyone: "No! The time in the secret room should be different from the time outside."
After saying that, he went up to the stage with the flashlight in his hand and shone it towards the position above the podium.
The second hand of the clock hanging on the wall slowly jumped, and the hour and minute hands pointed to 4:55! "Wow..."
"Five minutes?! We only have five minutes?!"
Several people almost jumped up - they originally thought they had plenty of time, but suddenly they found that their death knell was about to ring!
"Don't waste time, turn on all the flashlights and quickly find your homework books, paper and pens!"
Under the pressure of death, the big stars burst out with amazing efficiency. Without saying a word, they immediately began to rummage through the drawers in the classroom.
After more than three minutes, with the unremitting efforts of the four people, they finally found the key props.
“I found a pen!”
"The homework book is here! Come and have a look!"
"Hurry and see what the question is."
Zhang Wei casually placed his homework book on a desk and opened it.
There was only a line of crooked red writing on it.
"Little boy, little boy...what is it that is scary when read forwards but funny when read backwards?"
The moment they saw this question, the four of them were dumbfounded.
Asking brain teasers at this time? And there is only one chance to try and fail?
"You...you guys think about it quickly!"
"How can you come up with this kind of thing just by thinking of it?"
As time passed by and the hour hand was about to jump to the "5" position, Zhang Wei suddenly had an idea and took the ballpoint pen from Geng Fangyi.
Swish, swish, swish, five neat big characters were written on the homework book.
"Eight-Force Gale"
Almost at the same time, the time came to 5 o'clock.
ps: This variety show is quite complex, and the difficulty is about the same as writing a suspense short story. I have to look up some information... The recent background data shows that the reader data is returning very strongly, so I have to try to write it better, hehe. (End of this chapter)
