The next day, 2pm, Yihu Park.
It rained last night, the ground was slightly wet, and there was a gentle breeze.
Today is the first day of recording the first episode of the third season of "Super Challenge". In the morning, five guests recorded in the Food City and Clothing City of Wanda Plaza.
The afternoon recording was conducted at several pre-built outdoor locations in Yihu Park.
"It seems the game flow this season is the same as the previous two seasons. The guests have to complete tasks based on 'food, clothing, housing, and transportation' within a specified timeframe. If the time limit is exceeded, the Men in Black will be dispatched to hunt down the guests."
At this time, Fang Xiaole was sitting by the artificial lake in the park, waiting for the director's instructions.
He was in charge of the "Lakeside Roulette", which was a large roulette wheel similar to a lottery wheel built on the edge of Lake Yi, with a large plastic pointer in the middle.
There are dozens of squares on the roulette wheel, most of which say "Fail", and only three say "Pass".
Guests need to use the silver coins obtained from completing tasks to purchase the qualification to turn the pointer.
The guest rotates the pointer. If it points to "pass" after stopping, the level is completed. The guest gets silver coins and then goes to complete the next task.
The "NPC" here is a girl from the location crew. She is responsible for explaining the rules to the guests and collecting and distributing task coins.
Some guests may damage the roulette props because they are in a hurry to complete the task and use too much force. Fang Xiaole's task is to replace or repair the damaged prop parts in time.
Fang Xiaole felt that this segment was actually quite brainless. It was just a matter of passing or failing, all based on luck, and the audience didn't seem to feel involved.
The other checkpoints in Yihu Park basically follow this pattern. I heard that the checkpoints in Wanda Food City and Clothing City are similar.
To put it bluntly, the show relies purely on the appeal of celebrity guests, and the content itself has little value. No wonder there are so many complaints about "Super Challenge" online.
"Xiao Le, don't be nervous. I will notify you in time if the props are damaged."
The young lady guarding the roulette wheel thought Fang Xiaole was nervous, so she comforted him gently and gave him a wink:
"Work hard, and I'll treat you to a meal when you're done."
“…”
Fang Xiaole smiled awkwardly. Suddenly, the voice of Luo Hui, the deputy director of the location crew, came from the walkie-talkie:
"Everyone, please pay attention! The guest car is coming soon. Please check the props one last time and leave immediately!"
"I'll say it again. After the guests use the props, they must be quickly restored or replaced. Be careful to avoid being in the camera, especially not appearing on camera at the same time as the guests!"
Fang Xiaole jumped up immediately, quickly checked the roulette wheel, and after confirming that it was normal, he hid in the grove behind the pavilion and looked out through the gaps between the leaves.
"Attention, Lakeside Roulette, Hong Sanshi is coming."
Following the reminder from the walkie-talkie, a middle-aged, fat figure ran over breathlessly in the distance, followed by two photographers.
"Wow, we've reached the first level...why is it Wheel of Fortune again?"
The middle-aged man has a middle-parted hairstyle and his face is a little round due to weight gain, but his temperament is quite elegant. It can be seen that he was also a literary and handsome man when he was young.
"This is Hong Sanshi. He's even fatter in person than on TV."
Fang Xiaole was squatting in the woods "peeking" while muttering to himself.
He has been catching up on the recordings of the last two seasons these days and is quite familiar with several of the regular guests.
Fang Xiaole was particularly impressed by Hong Sanshi.
A teacher at the China Conservatory of Music, a famous composer and lyricist, he is also involved in film, television and variety shows. With his handsomeness and talent in his youth, he married a movie queen and had a pair of twins, a boy and a girl. He can be said to be a typical winner in life.
From the last two seasons of the show, we can see that Hong Sanshi is a person with a sense of humor and high emotional intelligence. It's a pity that the game segment of this show is not rich enough and cannot fully bring out Hong Sanshi's characteristics.
I guess Hong Sanshi was not very satisfied with this, so he started complaining about the "Big Roulette" segment that has appeared for three seasons.
"This is Lakeside Roulette, not the Wheel of Fortune." The NPC girl tried to correct him.
"Oh, if you put the Wheel of Fortune by the lake, it will become a lakeside roulette. You are so creative." Hong Sanshi smiled.
The NPC girl couldn't respond to this and could only lower her head to read the rules of the game. However, she was interrupted by Hong Sanshi after just two sentences:
"Okay, it's all the same old rules, right? It must be tiring for the little girl to read so many words. Here, I'll give you a silver coin and I'll buy you a chance to win the lottery."
The NPC girl had no choice but to take the silver coin and signaled Hong Sanshi that he could turn the pointer.
"Attention, Lakeside Roulette, Lin Yao is coming towards you."
Fang Xiaole heard Luo Hui's reminder on the walkie-talkie in his hand. He was ready. After Hong Sanshi passed the checkpoint and left, he would check the props and then quickly hide before Lin Yao arrived.
"Yeah, I passed..."
After spinning twice, the roulette pointer stopped at the "Pass" column. Hong Sanshi pointed to the sky with both hands, seemingly excited, but his tone was weak. The NPC girl next to him couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
Teacher Hong is being weird on purpose.
Come to think of it, if you still have to pretend to be excited after passing a level that has appeared in more than 20 episodes of the show over two seasons, it would be too fake. It would be better to add some funny elements.
After passing the checkpoint, Hong Sanshi did not leave immediately. He walked to the koi viewing area by the lake, picked up a bag of fish feed beside it, squatted by the lake to feed the fish, and spoke into the lake:
