The next day, the recording of the first episode of the third season of "Super Challenge" continued.
The six guests completed their last mission at the Hilton Hotel during the day, and then returned to Yihu Park around four in the afternoon for the final chase with the men in black.
The location crew responsible for Yihu Park still arrived at the venue early to set up the scene, but the two bald directors had other things to worry about - selecting four men in black from the staff.
The essence of "Super Challenge" is the men in black chasing the guests. In the first two seasons, the ratings of the show would reach the highest point in each episode when the men in black were chasing the guests.
Usually the men in black are selected from the "macho men" in the location crew. One of them has a visual impact in terms of physique, and the other has guaranteed physical strength and speed.
However, in addition to physical strength, variety show sense and adaptability are also important.
If the only thing the show does is chase the guests at full speed and catch them in a few seconds, what's the point of watching the show?
If you don't follow closely enough, the audience will know that you are letting the game go, and the excitement will be gone, which is not good either.
Therefore, choosing the man in black has always been the biggest headache for the location director.
After lunch and checking the venue and props again, Zhong Liliang and Luo Hui gathered all the "tough guys" in the location crew, plus six newly hired temporary workers, a total of ten people.
"Wow, Lego, if I get cast in Men in Black, my mom and sister-in-law will be able to see me on TV."
Ten people stood in a row and were selected by two directors like a beauty pageant. Zhang Fadada whispered to Fang Xiaole next to him.
"Silly boy, the men in black are the worst. If you chase them too slowly, the director will think you're not trying hard enough, and the audience will think it's not exciting enough. If you chase them too fast, you're afraid of hurting the stars. It's very difficult."
"Only 200 yuan for chasing one, and still not getting any favors, only a fool would do that!"
The two men on the other side were obviously old men, and they both sneered at the naive Zhang Fadada.
"Then I'll be the Man in Black too. I won't chase anyone, I'll just protect Lin Yao."
Zhang Fadada's neck stiffened. It seemed that he was really a die-hard fan of Lin Yao.
"Shh, the director is coming."
The two heads in front, shining brightly in the sun, came over here, and everyone stopped talking.
Zhong Liliang and Luo Hui had obviously discussed it, and they started calling out names:
"Lao Niu, Chen Yi, Li Hui, and..."
Luo Hui walked up to Fang Xiaole and patted his shoulder with a smile: "Fang Xiaole."
"The guests will be here soon, everyone else please return to your posts."
At the director's command, the disappointed Zhang Fadada had no choice but to leave with the others who were not selected. Before leaving, he pleaded with Fang Xiaole:
"Brother Le, please don't grab Lin Yao too hard. She is my goddess."
Fang Xiaole looked at the burly, dark-skinned man with amusement and promised, "Okay, I'll stay away from your goddess from now on, okay?"
Next, Zhong Liliang and Luo Hui gave the four people some instructions, mainly to control the intensity of the pursuit, neither catching the person too quickly nor letting him go too obviously.
Especially Fang Xiaole. The other three are all old men who have been men in black, and only Fang Xiaole is a newbie.
Normally, a young man who is participating in a recording for the first time would not be allowed to be the man in black, but Fang Xiaole's courage in rescuing Hong Sanshi yesterday left a good impression on Zhong Luo and others.
I think this guy is quite smart and good looking, maybe he would be a surprise if I let him play the man in black.
"Lin Yao, let's talk."
At this time, the six guests were heading to Yihu Park by car. Director Li Wan deliberately took a car with Lin Yao. On the way, she suddenly spoke to Lin Yao.
"Hmm? Director Li, go ahead."
Lin Yao was staring out the window in a daze. She didn't sleep well last night.
I searched around Bar Street but couldn't find any clues about "him". It was as if this person didn't exist at all.
Could it be that God specially sent him to the world to save himself, and then called him back to heaven?
The more she couldn't find him, the more unwilling she became, and the more she couldn't see him, the more she wanted to see him. In the end, her head was filled with all kinds of strange thoughts, and Lin Yao felt like she was going crazy.
Li Wan looked at Lin Yao, who was clearly not in the right state, and sighed inwardly, but still had a smile on his face: "It's your first time participating in a variety show. It feels quite tiring, right?"
"Not tired, I think it's quite interesting." Lin Yao replied with a smile.
Haha, you were sleepwalking the whole time, how come you found it quite interesting?
Li Wan was at a loss for words and could only offer gentle persuasion:
"Lin Yao, variety shows are actually just like singing. You have to let go of yourself and immerse yourself in the performance. That way the audience will feel more involved, and your character on the show will stand out."
"I understand. Thank you, Director Li. I will definitely work hard." Lin Yao's attitude was sincere, her smile was gentle, and her voice was sweet.
"You're welcome, just relax." Li Wan felt that Lin Yao didn't listen at all, but seeing her pretty face that attracted both men and women, he didn't want to say anything harsh.
It was she who made the decision to invite Lin Yao. She had to finish the path she had chosen, even if it meant tears...
The guests soon arrived at Yihu Park and the recording continued.
None of the six guests were able to complete the task on time. They had to hide from the men in black in the park. As long as a guest was not caught within half an hour, they would be considered to have completed the task.
This routine is very old, but the production team has not been able to find any creative alternative to it.
"Xiao Lin, here, let's hide first."
Hong Sanshi greeted Lin Yao. In his opinion, this pretty girl was a little confused. If he didn't take her with him, she would die in minutes.
