Angry?
Seeing Ni Yuanhao wailing in his shorts while being dragged away by the staff, Yang Ruoqian put himself in the shoes of a fan and immediately became furious.
But...what does it matter?
Yang Ruoqian wished he could anger all the audience watching the variety show - including Shang Qianyu's fans.
Although the relationship between Kuiguang Group and Shang Qianyu is not close, it is at least like that of brothers, but it may not appear so to outsiders.
Are there not enough examples of artists and management companies breaking up? Just because the group has a good relationship with Shang Qianyu doesn’t mean that the group won’t be scolded by Shang Qianyu’s fans.
This variety show is no less frightening to Shang Qianyu than other artists! "Your Kuiguang Group is not afraid of its own shadow, I understand." Cheng Fei took a sip of water and eased her laughter. "Even if your Xiao Shang pranks other artists like this, it can easily cause a war of words among fans. Are you sure you don't want to do some public relations?"
Shao Yiqi, who had been watching every shot with relish, became unhappy when he heard this: "What's the point of PR? They've all signed contracts, right? Ni Yuanhao is still a tough guy, look how scared he is! Hahahahaha, this episode will definitely be a bunch of emoticons when it's released."
"I think Feng Luo is the most miserable. She contributed the most emoticons in the first episode, and I'm afraid she will be no less miserable in the second episode..."
"With Ni Yuanhao backing her up, Feng Luo's situation outside should be better in the second episode."
It seems like everyone is gloating...
After the variety show is broadcast, the hatred level towards Kuiguang Group will definitely reach its maximum, and fans of various celebrities will definitely boycott any products of Kuiguang Group!
Hmm... attracting hatred.
Suddenly, an idea popped into Mr. Yang's mind. He knocked on the table and asked, "By the way, do you two think we can shoot a behind-the-scenes clip for this variety show?"
The second episode of the variety show is different from the first episode. It has fewer introductions and pre-preparation shots. It is all about the interior of the secret room, so it takes a few more days of shooting to get enough content.
During these few days of free time, I feel like I can shoot a behind-the-scenes video to attract more hatred.
Cheng Fei turned her head and said, "Highlights? What highlights?"
Yang Ruoqian said slowly: "Anyway, it will take some time for the second episode to be broadcast...we can film some things happening backstage."
"What happened behind the scenes?" Cheng Fei thought for a moment and asked uncertainly, "Boss Yang means, uh, to film the scene of us gloating over someone else's misfortune as a behind-the-scenes feature?"
"That's right." Yang Ruoqian clapped his hands and agreed with Cheng Fei's idea. "A good work should mobilize the audience's emotions from multiple dimensions. It's not enough to just show them the first-person perspective of our idols. We also have to show the audience the performance of us, the initiators."
It's not enough to just hurt people, you have to be rude to the hurt people after hurting them, this is the only way to maximize the damage!
After creating the wound, sprinkle salt on it immediately to maximize the pain!
Cheng Fei racked her brains but couldn't imagine that Yang Ruoqian could actually say such a thing. She was stunned for several seconds and asked in disbelief: "Boss Yang, are you sure?"
"This isn't a tidbit, this is a provocation, right?"
"If provocation can be considered as stirring up the audience's emotions, then it seems that what you said is not wrong, Mr. Yang."
Seeing that everyone had the same reaction, Yang Ruoqian became more certain of his idea - in the past, he often sat alone in the office and imagined the audience in his mind, but his brain waves often did not match those of the audience.
Now that even reliable people like Cheng Fei agree with my idea, the final result will definitely be close to what I expected.
"It doesn't matter." Yang Ruoqian laughed, "You've been doing business with me for such a long time, Mr. Cheng, just believe it. Once this footage is released, the show will definitely be a big hit!"
Anyway, Cheng Fei has also made guest appearances as an actor, and she is not the type of person with social phobia who refuses to appear on camera.
Hearing what Yang Ruoqian said, Cheng Fei nodded immediately: "Okay, then let's do as you say and edit some of our scenes in the studio and shoot them as a behind-the-scenes feature."
"Not only should we edit our footage, but also edit out footage of some of the staff members." Yang Ruoqian glanced at the footage in the director's studio and observed a three-second silence for Ni Yuanhao. "For those staff members who scared the artists, we must also film them changing clothes after they succeeded in scaring them, and release them!"
After saying this, Yang Ruoqian couldn't help but sigh - although he always had to find new ways and the experience of accidentally succeeding was painful, but at least now the partners around him believed in him very much, and even if it was something counterintuitive, as long as Kuiguang Group decided to do it, they would follow up without thinking.
Chief Planner Qin Xin had been listening to the conversation between the bosses. Seeing that they had already made a decision, he stepped forward and asked, "Boss Yang, how many minutes will this feature take?"
"It doesn't have to be too long." Yang Ruoqian thought for a few seconds. "These tidbits that have nothing to do with the content of the variety show need to be highlighted and concise. For the show effect... just edit out the few scenes that are most likely to attract hatred."
"Pay attention to the close-ups, highlighting the pain of the guests, the happiness of the staff, and the joy of us designers behind the scenes."
"Only by creating a good contrast can you raise the audience's blood pressure."
Qin Xin wiped the cold sweat from his head. Now Mr. Yang didn't even bother to hide it, and directly admitted that he wanted to manipulate the audience's mentality! Thinking back to every detail of this variety show, and the large amount of malicious content that Yang Ruoqian himself deliberately added... Could it be that Mr. Yang's real purpose was not to make money, but to create a fun way to torture the stars and the audience? As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Qin Xin threw it behind his mind.
How is that possible!
The first episode of this variety show had extremely high ratings and was widely discussed. As long as the subsequent data remains the same, it is almost certain to be the most popular variety show of the year...
If nothing unexpected happens, Kuiguang Group will definitely make huge profits and gain a lot of popularity from this variety show.
The layout, it must be Mr. Yang who is planning it!
Just do as Mr. Yang says and everything will be fine.
Qin Xin turned around and assigned work to other employees - there were cameras in the director's room, and some scenes could be selected and edited to form a behind-the-scenes feature without the need for reshooting.
"Xiao Gao, put down what you are doing... finish this task first. Um, it's better to do it quickly."
“…”
While Qin Xin was arranging work for his employees, several idle bosses did not leave the director's room and continued to watch the screen with relish.
There's no way. People like Yang Ruoqian, Chang Zhiqing, Cheng Fei and Shao Yiqi work well in entertainment companies, but they don't chase stars.
Except for the few seconds when they felt pity for Shang Qianyu when they saw her being frightened, they would just laugh at what happened to other people.
It is said to be a horror variety show, but it has an inexplicably funny element.
Moreover, watching variety shows in the director's room is much more enjoyable than watching the edited version on the video platform! After talking about the behind-the-scenes footage, Yang Ruoqian and the others continued to gather around the screen, took out a few bags of snacks, and ate while watching and discussing.
"It's time, guests get up."
"I'm really looking forward to their reactions when they find out that locking the door of the dormitory isn't safe either, hahahaha!"
"The teammate I was still talking to yesterday was dragged away by a monster at night for unknown reasons. Tsk tsk tsk... I would be horrified if I were in his place."
"Who on earth came up with this mind-blowing idea..."
"I feel like the traitor is a little too powerful. Shouldn't we give normal players some hints and tell them that there are guests who can open their doors while they are sleeping?"
"I think it's okay. It doesn't really disrupt the balance. Although the visual effect looks scary, if you think about it carefully, the traitor only has three one-time master keys, which can open the door three times. On average, only one person will be eliminated."
You know, a guest has three lives! I won’t mention any other props later, but at least the three door-opening privileges will only do so much damage to the normal guest group.
"You can't say that. Although the direct damage is not high, the indirect impact is huge. Just think about it, if everyone can't sleep well in the future, how much impact will it have on their spirits?"
"Moreover, it will take a lot of effort to rescue the captured people, which will not only slow down the progress of the normal mission, but may also cost several lives during the rescue..."
"So there are only three master keys."
"Oh oh, here they come! They noticed someone is missing!"
“Hahahaha! Look at their faces, hahahahaha!”
"They really wanted to say more, but because they couldn't stay together for a long time, they had to disperse. Hahaha! Who came up with the rule that too many people can't stay together for a long time? How can you be so mean!"
"There are still some smart people. Some people are wondering if this is an inside job."
"They think the production crew wouldn't be so crazy as to do something drastic during sleep time, so they think this was done by an insider?"
"The most suspicious group now is Team 1, where Shang Qianyu is. They arrived at the dormitory first, and they are the first to know the relevant dormitory rules. Who knows what they are hiding?"
"I underestimated the production team a bit, but they guessed the truth by accident. It was indeed Shang Qianyu and Zhang Wei who did it."
"Okay, okay, the intrigue has begun. This is what's interesting!"
"No one brought up the matter. Everyone left the dormitory to complete their tasks for the next day."
"Now that everyone has completed a task, they have some money."
"Most people save it for nothing... What do you think they want to buy?"
"It should be the locator of my teammate. With this, at least I don't have to look for so many clues and waste so much time when rescuing my teammates."
"You can't be like Shang Qianyu, trying to save a large sum of money to treat your teammates to a luxurious buffet..."
"So I said, giving her this money will not affect the balance of the game, and you will spend it all on the first day."
“…”
…
A certain city, a certain university.
"Oh, so boring, let's go eat Haishanglao tonight?" The couple who were still not satisfied after watching the first episode of the variety show last time were walking on the street. The girl suddenly had an idea, "When will "Escape Room" be updated?"
After watching "Escape Room", other variety shows suddenly became boring.
This kind of show, which is both scary and funny, is really fun to watch.
As a fan of Feng Luo, the boy felt a little sorry for what happened to Feng Luo rationally, but there was always an evil voice crying out in his heart.
The program team stepped up their efforts! He also wanted to see what kind of fighting power Sister Feng Luo would burst out when she was extremely angry...extremely scared!
"It seems like they update two episodes a week. It's only been a day. There's no point in being anxious." The boy took two steps forward, and suddenly felt a little pain in his flesh. He asked in a negotiating tone, "Do you really have to eat Haishang Lao? That's so expensive..."
The girl rolled her eyes and said, "Stop talking nonsense. I'll treat you."
“Okay, okay!”
Just as the two were talking, a message alert sound suddenly came from their mobile phones.
"The show you follow, "Escape Room Survival," has been updated! Go check it out! Click here~"
The two men who were running towards the restaurant suddenly stopped.
"Did you see that?"
"I saw it!" The boy nodded with difficulty.
"Updated? What's going on? It's only been a day. Is one day's content enough for the next episode?"
"I have to rush to the restaurant immediately. This electronic mustard tuber must not be wasted."
The two rushed into the hot pot restaurant, quickly ordered the dishes, then excitedly opened the video platform and clicked on the "Escape Room Survival" column.
"Ah, it's just a 20-minute featurette..." The girl swiped her finger across the screen twice and was immediately disappointed, "I thought it was the main feature."
"The behind-the-scenes footage is pretty good too." The boy didn't think much of it. "I quite like watching the behind-the-scenes footage. It's quite interesting to see how the people behind the scenes of the variety show work."
"That's fine..."
Seeing that his girlfriend was not in high spirits, the boy reminded her: "This is the backstage of Kuiguang Group. There is not much acting involved. How did they come up with these bad ideas and how did they control the secret room behind the scenes... It's also quite interesting!"
"Then let's take a look." The girl thought about it and it seemed to make sense, so she nodded.
As soon as the screen started playing, it got straight to the point...
Several staff members holding controllers and looking at the monitoring screen, as well as the chief planner Qin Xin, were staring at a group of guests intently.
After taking a look, the girl almost spit out the beef in her mouth: "Ah?! Did they blatantly adjust the secret room on the spot? The others were about to pass the whole team, but they forcibly separated them, right?!"
"That's too much! Hahaha!"
"This is such undisguised malice. Is it really okay to show such a picture?"
As the two were complaining, the camera quickly cut to a small room that was obviously more luxurious.
There were several people sitting in the room, with snacks and drinks on the table. The young man in the lead looked very familiar.
The girl recognized this man at a glance: "Fuck... This is the boss of Kuiguang Group!"
At this time, Yang Ruoqian and Cheng Fei were watching the scene of Feng Luo being attacked in dormitory No. 404. (End of this chapter)
