At this time in the director's room, not only Yang Ruoqian, but also Cheng Fei and Chang Zhiqing were laughing so hard that they were falling down.
After all, the last picture frozen in time for Feng Luo was a bit too abstract.
Of course, all of these things have been signed in the contract. Since Feng Luo chose to participate in this horror variety show, it is equivalent to agreeing that the program team will use appropriate means to scare her.
Otherwise, it would be a bit unfun to participate in a horror variety show and not be allowed to be scared.
However, what celebrities think and what fans think are two completely different concepts.
Cheng Fei obviously thought of this question as well. After she finished laughing, she glanced at the screen again and asked, "When this episode is edited, should we delete these overly extreme scenes?"
"I'm afraid that some extreme fans might attack or even report the production team, or even maliciously give bad reviews or low ratings, which would have a bad impact."
The first episode of this variety show not only features the scene where Feng Luo is frightened to the point of being deformed, but also includes various "ugly photos" of other groups.
Thanks to good luck, Group 1 passed the first level narrowly, and everything went smoothly until they entered the safe zone.
Even if he encountered difficulties and was frightened along the way, he was safe and sound, and his character was not particularly ruined.
It was not until he entered the dormitory building that Feng Luo was the first to be hit.
But the other groups were not so lucky.
Just as Group 1 guessed, except for the four of them, all other groups were wiped out as soon as they entered the secret room.
Some of them didn't realize there was a trap, and some of them stayed in one place for too long...
The remaining three groups were disbanded for various reasons within an hour of entering the secret room.
You know, there are only three flashlights in a team! If the team is broken up, it means that each team has a guest who needs to smear and move forward.
Only Team 1 was lucky enough to remain calm in such a strange place as the chemistry laboratory. They happened to discover the materials left by the program crew and used these materials to make torches, so that all members could have a source of light and did not have to explore in the dark.
According to the program team's settings, torches, an additional light source, are very important key props and are not available at the beginning.
If it were other teams, even if they were extremely lucky and collected all the materials for torches, they would not have enough money to buy lighters when they arrived at the safe zone.
You still have to complete a task before you can make a torch.
It goes without saying what will happen to the member without a light source.
The top stars in each group suffered the same treatment.
In comparison, Feng Luo at least had a flashlight.
That’s why Cheng Fei was a little worried. If the crazy fans saw their idols being tortured like this, would they instantly turn into justice warriors and affect the reputation of the variety show?
After all, Kuiguang Group has a very good reputation, and it would be a loss if it were affected by a variety show.
However, Yang Ruoqian's idea was completely opposite to Cheng Fei's - after hearing Cheng Fei was worried that the variety show might affect word of mouth, he became more determined in his idea.
Not only will those abstract images not be cut out, they will also be placed at the end of the first episode of the variety show.
Not only do they have to show the fans of first-tier stars the ugly behavior of their idols, but they are also not given any follow-up information, which makes them very anxious!
"No, not only can we not cut these scenes, we have to highlight them and give them close-ups!"
Cheng Fei glanced at Yang Ruoqian and sighed, "Boss Yang, you are really... too courageous. Your own artists are all in it, aren't you afraid of ruining your image by doing this?"
The most important thing for an artist, especially an idol, is their personality.
The character's image has collapsed, and the ability to make money has not only been greatly reduced, but has at least been cut in half.
"What are you afraid of?" Yang Ruoqian lied with his eyes open, "Shang Qianyu is not only an idol, but also an actress with great acting skills. She can produce works and achieve results. Don't worry, her fans are very loyal!"
"Okay." Cheng Fei, who made a lot of money with Kuiguang Group, would never interfere with Yang Ruoqian's decision with her own opinion. "Do you need our publicity department to help you with anything?"
"The selling point of this variety show is the moments when the personalities of the top stars collapse. Let's promote it based on this."
"Okay." Cheng Fei nodded.
…
A few days later, it was one night in a shared apartment which wasn’t bad, but definitely not clean.
A couple gathered around a large tablet and excitedly clicked on the first episode of "Survival Room".
In order to be able to watch the show in advance, they, who have never paid for film and television platforms, gritted their teeth and spent a huge sum of 12 yuan to buy a membership just to watch this variety show.
The overwhelming publicity some time ago has already whetted the appetite of many people.
A large number of first-line stars were invited as guests to enter a secret room filled with a terrifying atmosphere, cooperate and compete at the same time, and finally escape alive...
It's so exciting! Even girls who don't chase stars couldn't help but become interested when they heard the introduction of this variety show.
"I don't recognize many of these people, but they all look good! Haha, I'm looking forward to what expressions they will have when they enter the secret room."
The boys who were very interested in the entertainment industry couldn't wait to introduce her: "This beautiful lady is Feng Luo. You should have seen her movies. Wow, she is the goddess of many people."
"And this one, Shang Qianyu, is a newly promoted first-tier star. She has made two hit movies in a row and has also won international awards. Her godhood has basically been finalized. As long as she doesn't slack off in the future and relies on the resources of the Kuiguang Group and accumulates some experience, she will surely become a queen."
"Look at this face, this body, put together...tsk tsk...it's a pity, the person just seems a little bit not very smart."
"And this female star, although she is a second-tier star, she just doesn't have many good works and her acting skills are not good, but her hardware is really great..."
The girl listened to her boyfriend's endless chatter and frowned slightly: "Why do you keep talking about female stars?"
"Well……"
The girl pointed at Zhang Wei and asked, "Who is this guy? He's quite handsome."
"Ah, I don't know him. He shouldn't be very famous, right?"
"What about this one? Who is this uncle?"
"No... I don't know him. He's probably not a big name. I've seen a lot of his works, but I don't have any impression of this face."
The girl was angry: "So you only know Feng Luo and Shang Qianyu, right? I was wondering why you were so absent-minded recently, it turns out you were looking at some pretty girls!"
“Ah, this…”
Just as the quarrel was about to break out, the variety show finally officially began.
The shooting angle at the beginning of the first episode is exactly Team One.
The scene was fine at the beginning, until a dummy suddenly fell from the sky and occupied almost half of the screen. The girl was so scared that the potato chips in her hand fell to the ground.
"Oh my god, is it so exciting right at the beginning? Don't you give the guests some time to adapt?!"
They had both played escape rooms before, but neither had ever seen anything like this! It was a crisis of total annihilation right from the start!
Besides, it's late at night now, and it's really creepy to watch this kind of thing.
"What is this? What is funny when read forwards, but scary when read backwards?" The girl grabbed her boyfriend's clothes with both hands unconsciously and complained, "Isn't this deliberately making things worse for the guest?"
With such tense emotions and such a terrifying environment, how can they guess such a brain teaser? After such a shock just now, they have completely been immersed in the program. It doesn't seem like watching a variety show, but more like watching a horror movie.
At this point, the two couldn't help but wonder in their minds what terrible things would happen to the team if they couldn't answer the questions.
Just as time was slowly passing and several people were waiting for the punishment to come, Zhang Wei suddenly snatched the pen and wrote five big words "Eight-Force Gale" on the homework book.
"Force 8 gale?"
The two of them were stunned for several seconds before they suddenly reacted.
“Oh shit, it’s a force eight gale, hahaha! hahahaha!”
“Who is this artist and what movies has he made? It’s quite interesting.”
"Look at the expressions of Shang Qianyu and Feng Luo, these two first-line stars are dumbfounded, hahahaha!"
The five words "Zhang Wei" immediately diluted the original terrifying atmosphere a lot, and it felt both scary and funny.
At this point, the two of them were completely absorbed by the content on the screen and had even forgotten to eat potato chips.
"Oh my god, I can't stay in one place for too long. The production team is really malicious!"
"They really chose the staircase route! In a secret room like this, I don't believe there isn't something dirty in the elevator."
"Hurry into the classroom! I'm so anxious! Haven't they noticed that there's something following them? I'm so anxious!"
"Go in, go in, lock the door quickly!"
The two were startled and had no idea that they would perform even worse when they played the escape room game themselves.
"Fuck, Feng Luo dragged such a big iron cabinet here by herself?! This is not right, I remember she couldn't even open a mineral water bottle on a certain variety show before!"
"Isn't she an elegant and dignified lady? She turned out to be a strong woman?"
"You don't understand this. When people are extremely frightened, they can burst out with amazing strength."
"Sure, I feel this variety show is so real. These big-name stars basically have a hard time keeping up appearances..."
"Who can hold their own in this kind of environment? It's terrifying just watching it."
Just as the two were discussing heatedly, the scene progressed to a scene where the classroom was suddenly filled with dummies, and a sinister female voice forced the team members to sit down and conduct an experiment.
Watching the stars struggling with a junior high school chemistry problem, the two felt a terrifying yet hilarious feeling.
Suddenly, the camera turned to Feng Luo again. At this moment, she was so worried about not understanding the experiment that she did not notice that a distorted and strange face had formed on the wall beside her, staring at Feng Luo intently.
Before Feng Luo was frightened, the young couple jumped up from the sofa before her: "Ahhh what is this???"
The boy who always prided himself on being brave was also scared and broke into a cold sweat: "Where did the Kuiguang Group find this secret room design team? Do they really want to do something so shady?"
"This isn't scary anymore, I feel like I'm starting to lose sanity!"
"How much do these props cost to make them so detailed and realistic, just to scare people?"
"I'm a little afraid to go to the toilet..."
"I can't even imagine what Feng Luo's expression would be when he saw this face."
Sure enough, when the wall suddenly made a sound and Feng Luo subconsciously turned her head, the camera hidden in the wall accurately captured her instantly collapsed facial expression.
“Hahahahahaha!” The boy, who was already mentally prepared, laughed out loud at Feng Luo’s scream, “Hahahaha! This is unacceptable. It turns out that human suffering is built on the happiness of others!”
The girl tried hard not to look at the face on the wall and asked curiously, "Aren't you a fan of Feng Luo and Shang Qianyu? Why does she look so happy after being scared like this?"
"It's true." The boy said without hesitation, "Now is not the same as before. Everyone knows that the personality of celebrities is operated."
"Whether it's in the movies or in gossip news, they've all been heavily polished, and only the information we want to see is given to us."
"People who chase stars are attracted by these personas, but don't you think we are curious about the stars' real personalities and real lives? Of course we are curious."
"This... this variety show is obviously different from other variety shows. There is definitely no script for Feng Luo to be able to lift a large iron cabinet and make her show this expression!"
"How interesting!"
“So this is the mentality…”
The girl nodded thoughtfully, then pointed at Zhang Wei and said, "I think this male artist named Zhang Wei is really interesting. He actually thought of copying homework."
"To be able to do funny things in a place like this, I think you have some talent."
"Xiao Shang is not that stupid. He actually thought of combining these things into torches. If I were in this situation, I would definitely be thinking about escaping and would not have time to care about these things."
"Fuck! I just praised her and she used the precious money to buy a feast? Is she a traitor?!"
"That shouldn't be the case. What good will it do to myself by wasting money like this, other than ruining the team's mentality?"
"How can she eat so much? My God, it seems like she eats more than everyone else combined... Where did all the fat go?"
The two chatted and complained while continuing to read on.
In the high-definition footage, after receiving torches and prompts, the four-member team slowly advanced towards the dormitory building. After experiencing several situations where they scared themselves, they finally arrived at the bottom of the dormitory building.
Then they saw Feng Luo forced to walk up the stairs alone, forced to go to the fourth floor, and forced to separate from his teammates...
Finally, with fear and anticipation, the two watched the scene where Feng Luo was ambushed after carefully searching the room.
"ah--"
The scream from the bottom of their hearts penetrated the screen, and along with Feng Luo's face which was almost broken beyond recognition, the young couple who were originally very frightened finally couldn't hold back any more.
"Puff! Hahahahahaha!"
"No, I want to take a screenshot of this picture and make it into an emoticon, hahahaha!"
"What kind of variety show is this that is both scary and funny?" (End of this chapter)
