Is the production team really going this far?
This production team is really daring to stir things up!
Oh my god, I can't even watch this.
If they really give up, wouldn't the production team have skipped the first day?
What was the planning team thinking? Going all out from the start?
Who would have thought the production team would do something like this? Giving out empty supplies at the start—aren't they worried that any group might give up?
Yes, on the first day of the show's broadcast, the production team pulled a big stunt: the supply boxes were empty.
Therefore, it's not that Nan Qu's blue team lacked supplies, but that the red team did too.
Aren't the production team worried that some teams might fail to complete the task? Of course not.
First, the production team has backup members, so if an entire group is eliminated, a new team will naturally emerge, and the show won't be affected. Second, the director explained the show's rules to Qin Kang and Xu Liliang before the show started.
He chose these two people because they are both veterans of variety shows, and he also knew their difficulties. Naturally, he didn't want to give up this opportunity for the show.
They will definitely persuade everyone to stay.
In fact, the director was right. Both groups assumed the other had supplies and planned to get through the day on their own.
Watching both teams discuss their next moves, the director's lips curled into a smile. That's more like it. These days, variety shows are tough to make. Especially with the youthful arrogance of today, typical variety shows only elicit complaints from viewers who feel like they, earning a few thousand dollars a month, are watching these people earning hundreds of thousands, wallowing in self-pity.
If a variety show doesn't present any challenges, it won't resonate with the audience.
To be honest, at first, he only wanted to find some popular but easy-to-manage guests for the show, and he really didn't expect that Gu Shi's top sister, Shi Guang, would come.
However, after she arrived, the director subconsciously wanted to capitalize on the popularity of Shi Guang and Nan Qu. With Shi Guang's consent, the production team leaked the news that Shi Guang would be coming to Nan Qu's agent. Unexpectedly, Nan Qu was indeed summoned as well.
Since a contract has already been signed, the director isn't afraid of anything. In particular, he'd be happy if any of them threw a tantrum and it actually boosted the show's live broadcast effect.
Of course, compared to Nan Qu, the director also knew that he couldn't offend Shi Guang too much, so before the show started recording, he revealed the direction of this variety show to her so that she could prepare in advance.
......
Seeing the way everyone was looking at her, Nan Qu couldn't refuse any longer. Instead, she looked up at the sky and said, "It's almost noon now, and I know everyone must be hungry. But we still have a lot to do. So, please bear with me, and I'll try my best to get everyone something to eat before evening."
After listening to Nan Qu's words, even though she didn't say anything particularly inspiring, everyone unexpectedly felt a sense of security and direction.
"Tell me what to do, and we'll do it together."
Nan Qu said, "Given the island's location, there are less than six hours until sunset. We need to complete three things within these six hours. One is to collect matches. The program requires us to light a campfire, so I guess if the campfire goes out at night, we might be eliminated. Therefore, we need to collect enough matches to light a fire for the whole night."
[Really? The production team didn't say that. Nan Qu really knows how to create drama for herself.]
She's always like this, does she really think she's so capable?
I've fallen into my habit of feeling embarrassed for others again.
[If you don't like it, won't you leave? It's because you're not thinking straight. The production team can't possibly expect the campfire to be lit before sunset and then extinguished afterward, can they? That's simply impossible.]
[I've been wanting to ask, is your company still hiring? How much do you pay for sending a message like this?]
[It's been almost a year, and they've been attacking Nanqu online every day, but they're incredibly resilient; they don't offer any explanation, and their popularity keeps rising. Isn't that infuriating?]
[If you ask me, the boss should switch companies. He's been trying to oust someone for a year and hasn't succeeded. What's the point of keeping a company like that?]
The discussion in the live stream went increasingly off-topic, and the trolls stopped showing their faces. They hadn't expected the job the company had taken on to be so difficult, and they were embarrassed by the constant, pointless criticism.
At this moment, Nan Qu had no idea what was being discussed in the live stream, and even if she did, she wouldn't care. Initially, Nan Qu did consider explaining something. But before she could even explain, her past was thoroughly investigated online.
This meant that Nan Qu could no longer use her past to gain sympathy, and others could no longer use her past to smear her. So Nan Qu simply ignored all of that and continued filming.
Ironically, it was around that time that Nan Qu realized just how powerful capital was in the entertainment industry. Of course, she was also a beneficiary of that capital.
It was only after she entered the entertainment industry that she realized that you can act terribly, but if you have powerful connections, those people will find ways to promote your strengths.
Variety shows will give you more screen time because you have financial backing, and people will be more tolerant of you, even to the point of being a bit exaggerated.
With the help of the Gu and Zeng families, Nan Qu was still able to get roles and win awards despite all the scandals surrounding her.
Over time, those who brought up her past gradually lost interest, and people started to find them rather boring.
"Next is food. There are many edible ingredients along the way from here to the base, and we'll need everyone's help to collect them. These aren't difficult; the most difficult thing is accommodation. We don't know what the weather will be like here, so just in case, it would be best to find a place to shelter from the wind and rain. That way, we can look for usable materials along the way."
Everyone immediately agreed.
However, just as everyone was about to leave, Nan Qu suddenly stopped: "Hey, nobody said this box doesn't count as supplies, right? Miler, come on, let's carry it away!"
Nanqu's move not only stunned the guests, but also the production team. Even the viewers in the live stream were dumbfounded.
【Wait, what's she doing? Does she really think she's so great?】
[Take the box away? How could she even think of that?]
This woman really knows how to create drama for herself.
......
Miler obediently helped Nanqu carry the box. The box was empty and not heavy. It was just quite large, so carrying it was easier than carrying it alone.
But on the way back, they kept stopping and starting, carrying more and more things, and their boxes were filled with the items they had collected.
When they returned to the base, Nanqu looked at the sun and guessed it was around four o'clock.
She quickly wove two cages from the collected vines and handed them to Qin Tai and Mao Ping: "There are less than two hours until dark. Go to the beach and collect some seafood. Anything will do, even seaweed."
Remember, you only have half an hour at the beach. Whether you find it or not, you must come back. If you don't know how to tell time, come back when the sun is about shoulder level.
The two men nodded vigorously while holding the cage and then left.
Nan Qu led the other three to look around the base and then began to get busy with the next tasks.
