Unlike "Adventure", "Fantasy Cruise" is a serious variety show.
Although only the first season is being recorded now, this producer has previously created a phenomenal challenge variety show. "Fantasy Cruise" can be said to be a soulful sequel, and even the main cast of the program has not changed.
Wen Xingze was able to get this notice, on the one hand because Wen Xingze's popularity has risen recently and Jiang Ye has good resources, but the main reason is luck - the guest originally favored by the program crew had something unexpected and his schedule conflicted, so such a popular guest was missed.
...Although it is a hot commodity, "Fantasy Cruise" is not having a good time this season.
Although the concept team and the lineup are all top-notch, it happened to collide with the sequels of four popular reality shows and the third season of a talent show. The early discussion of "Fantasy Cruise" was very worrying, and basically only fans of the announced guests were looking forward to it.
Ultimately, a new game cannot beat a sequel, because popular sequels already have a fixed fan base.
The ratings are not expected to be too optimistic afterwards.
Jiang Ye actually initially advised Wen Xingze to change variety shows. If "Fantasy Cruise" fails to make a comeback after its launch, it would be a waste of time to be on a mediocre variety show, which would be a blow to an artist on the rise.
But Wen Xingze really liked the content of "Fantasy Cruise", so he accepted it.
The announcement of the last permanent guest, Wen Xingze, also attracted the attention of many new fans and passers-by.
[!!!! ! ! ! Treasure variety show and treasure idol, "Fantasy Cruise" I'm so looking forward to it, but it's a pity that it clashes with the schedule of the talent show I'm organizing qaq]
[Career fans are crying! After countless 18-bit variety shows, Zi Zi finally got a serious variety show announcement...]
[Suona fans check in, I want to listen to Blue Bird again, really~]
[Acrobatics fans check in, I really want to see the beautiful boy breathe fire again~]
[Keep the formation, then I'll check in as a fan of the looks. Aze standing there is very pleasing to the eyes! ! ! I'm looking forward to what status Aze will get.]
…
"Fantasy Cruise" is clearly a transformation from an ordinary variety show to a live variety show. It is said that the first two episodes were edited and recorded, but the unedited version of the original film will be released online - no reality show has ever dared to do this before.
Releasing all the original footage means being brave enough to show all the rollover scenes to the audience and guaranteeing that there is no script, otherwise it would be exposed immediately.
If all goes well, the next two episodes will be switched to a semi-live broadcast and semi-recorded mode.
This shows that the producer is really bold and ambitious.
Of course, the artists who dare to accept this notice are quite courageous.
The filming started when we set off from the hotel. At this time, the guests had not yet gathered together, and each guest had a follower to take photos. Wen Xingze was the only guest already in the Canary Islands, and he would probably be the first guest to arrive at the cruise ship.
Wen Xingze had already met the director and producer yesterday, and the director expressed great praise and expectations for him (his face).
"Are you nervous?" the guy filming him said. "I'm nervous too. The director told me yesterday that there must be no mistakes when filming you. If you're off screen for even a second, it would be a waste of talent."
This is the truth. Judging from the current pitiful popularity of "Fantasy Cruise", it will really rely on Wen Xingze's appearance to hold the show after it starts airing.
Wen Xingze: “…” Don’t be like this.
The hotel was already by the sea, and the vampire parents had already packed Wen Xingze's suitcase yesterday, so he could just drag it along. At the harbor, the production crew was already waiting, welcoming him warmly.
The cruise ship has been decorated as a hotel, which is quite luxurious, but Wen Xingze has spent the past seven days on the private island and Atlantis, so it didn't feel particularly grand.
The first floor hall is a magnificent hall used for banquets, and the second and third floors are cabins. The second floor is an ordinary cabin and the third floor is a luxury cabin with a deck observation deck.
"We record for five days at a time, and then edit it into three episodes, which is a full episode," the program staff explained to Wen Xingze, keeping it a bit mysterious. "However, not every guest can record for the full five days."
"Fantasy Cruise" said there was no script, and it really was. At least Wen Xingze didn't get one. He casually said:
"It won't be like Werewolf, where everyone is just ordinary people during the day, but takes on various identities after dark. And it won't be traditional Werewolf, where they'll be like navigators, pirates, sirens, etc. to fit the cruise ship setting, and eliminate people every night, hahaha."
The follow-up brother: "..."
Staff: “…”
There was an eerie silence.
After a full two minutes, the staff member laughed awkwardly: "Hahaha."
Wen Xingze: "...I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
The program team deliberately did not announce the specific rules, probably to wait until all the guests arrived to give a surprise. Wen Xingze really didn't expect that he would hit the mark so easily.
Because the rooms had not been assigned yet, Wen Xingze sat on the velvet sofa waiting for other guests. About half an hour later, the ten guests finally arrived - five of them were permanent guests and five were flying guests.
What surprised Wen Xingze was that Zhu Bo turned out to be the guest star this time!
Because their cell phones were confiscated last night, the guests didn’t know who the guests would be in advance, so Wen Xingze and Zhu Bo were both quite surprised by each other.
"We're finally here. I'm sure the guests are eagerly awaiting the exact rules of the game, so we won't keep you in suspense," the director announced through the megaphone. "The answer is, a battle royale! All guests will appear as ordinary crew members or passengers during the day, but at nightfall, their true identities will be revealed..."
"There are two camps in total, the Navigator Camp and the Siren Camp. Please look at the ID cards the staff have issued to you. Be careful not to be seen by the guests next to you."
The navigators are the so-called frontal camp, similar to the villagers in Werewolf, while the sirens can kill people at night, similar to the werewolves in Werewolf.
Other guests: “Wow!!!”
Wen Xingze: "Wow..."
The staff handed him a black magnetic card with silver lettering that read:
Mermaid
Faction: Siren Faction, can be turned against by navigators
Skill: Mermaid Song. You have one chance to use this skill every night. It will randomly disrupt the other guests' nighttime skill usage and come with a random special effect.
Victory conditions: Victory of the camp (normal victory, still need to accept half the penalty), elimination of all guests and individual victory (optimal victory)
Failure penalty: Maid costume dance
…
The moment all the information was delivered, all the male guests gasped at the same time.
"I'm wearing a nurse's uniform." Zhu Bo asked quietly beside Wen Xingze, "What about you?"
Wen Xingze: "Maid outfit."
The two people sat on the sofa with sad expressions, speechless.
A moment later.
"Aze, we have been friends for such a long time, I won't hide it from you, I am from the Navigator camp." Zhu Bo said in a lower voice.
Wen Xingze laughed: "What a coincidence, me too."
Zhu Bo: "Then let me count to three, and we'll reach out and exchange magnetic cards?"
Wen Xingze: "Okay."
Zhu Bo: "One, two, three..."
No one reached out.
Both of them held the magnetic card tightly behind their backs at the same time.
Wen Xingze and Zhu Bo looked at each other and saw the burning desire to win in each other's eyes.
"beep--"
A long whistle sounded, and the "Fantasy" officially set sail.
Less than three minutes after setting sail, the plastic friendship boat between Wen Xingze and Zhu Bo was broken by the threat of maid and nurse uniforms.
While the staff were distributing identity cards, the "Baby Cultivation Plan" system also released the latest mainline tasks:
【Main Mission】
Mission Description: The easiest way to gain popularity in a reality show is to win! To help Zizi stay away from maid outfits, help Zizi win a solo victory in "Fantasy Cruise"!
Mission Preparation: Solo Victory (0/1)
Mission rewards: skill point*1, lottery ticket*1
…
Lancer, Atlantis.
Although it's unbelievable, the mermaids are indeed the richest people in the universe. They are not as smart as the elves, nor as savvy as the orcs, nor as technologically advanced as the dwarves.
The people of the Muse Empire are extremely wealthy, and about 40% of the huge wealth that the Cosmic Alliance covets is contributed by the mermaids.
It took the mermaids only fifteen years to escape from slavery and become the richest people in the universe. On the one hand, this was because they had accumulated enough wealth as the overlords of the ocean, and on the other hand, it was because they had a sense of crisis that far exceeded that of other races.
The mermaids were one of the earliest citizens of Muse.
Conditions at that time were far worse than they are now. One winter, the mermaids discovered that His Majesty had been living on nutrients for a long time, both because he was lazy and to save money to subsidize the reconstruction of Atlantis.
From that winter on, the mermaids began to make money like crazy, and in the winter of the following year they bought up hundreds of the most fertile and food-rich asteroids.
I never want to see Your Majesty drinking cheap nutrient solution again. This is the original intention of the mermaid tribe to make money.
And today, seven days have passed since Your Majesty last came to Atlantis.
During the days when they were unable to see the king, the mermaids' mood remained depressed.
deep sea.
Priest without candles
Lantern in hand, he wandered aimlessly through the empty and lonely underwater city-state. This was the downside of being a public official. While being the first to see His Majesty was a blessing, he clearly wanted to stay home and spend his money raising his children, yet he had to come to Atlantis on business.
Soon, Wuzhu saw a familiar figure at the commanding heights of the underwater city.
Her hair is tied with shark pearls, her tail is light blue, and her eyes are golden.
It’s Elder Cang.
Among the three elders with eccentric temperaments, Cang is also the most eccentric. His mount is a pure black sea snake. Elder Cang is still one of the most powerful fighting forces of the mermaid tribe.
At this time, Cang was standing on the sea snake, and the light screen of the terminal unfolded in front of him.
He was suspended high above the underwater city, his long hair gently scattered by the ocean current, and his expression was somewhat lonely.
Wuzhu was once Cang's subordinate. He went up to Cang and said hello. When he got closer, he found that the bright red sea god pearl on Elder Cang's wrist was also missing. Wuzhu showed an expression that seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
Cang looked at Wuzhu's expression and suddenly raised his eyebrows: "I'm not thinking about that so-called king."
Wuzhu: "But I haven't asked anything yet."
Cang: "Don't ask."
Wuzhu: “…”
Wuzhu thought for a moment and said, "Just in case, I'd like to remind you. I just saw Elder You and Elder Li, and their Sea God Pearls are gone... I wonder if they were all given to Your Majesty."
Although the Sea God Pearl is a sacred object of the mermaids, it is nothing to give it to His Majesty.
However, the Sea God Pearl has been divided into three parts since ancient times in order to weaken the balance of power.
If all three strings of Poseidon Pearls were in the king's hands, and His Majesty had unlocked the mermaid filter, if he turned on the filter and then responded to the Poseidon Pearls, it would probably trigger some incredible amplification effect.
At least it had never happened before.
Cang's expression changed: "Those two traitors were also given away?"
The word "也" is very spiritual.
Wuzhu: "Don't worry. The Sea Pearl is a sacred object of the mermaids and is parasitic on their souls and emotions. The mermaids love Your Majesty, and the Sea Pearl is also..."
Cang sneered and denied hastily: "Who likes him? Me? Ridiculous."
"..." Wuzhu couldn't bear to expose the pitiful self-esteem of the elders, and said, "I don't know about Chief Xia and the other tribesmen."
Elder Cang suddenly choked.
After a while, he snorted and left.
Cang rode the sea snake for a long distance. He only called his servants when Wuzhu's figure completely disappeared.
A translucent magnetic card appeared in Cang's palm. It was an exclusive card customized by the Universe Bank for the mermaids. It had unlimited overdraft amount, and the deposits in it exceeded the amount that most of the universe residents could imagine.
He casually threw the magnetic card to the attendant and said, "Tell Guangta that I want to see him."
He was of course referring to the king, but the three elders were still trying hard to maintain their image of hating His Majesty, so they would only use 'he' and 'the so-called king' as pronouns.
The attendant responded respectfully, but he was groaning inwardly.
...This is the third unlimited overdraft bank card he has received today.
Damn it, it turns out that black-hearted game planners like Guangta are the ones who make the most money.
The 'Fantasy' slowly sailed out of the harbor.
After explaining the rules and distributing identity cards, the first small task is to assign rooms.
"There are six standard rooms, three deluxe rooms, and one secret ocean view room," the director said. "Now let's start the talent show. The other guests can vote. The first place winner will get a secret ocean view room, the second place winner will get a deluxe room, and so on."
Wen Xingze knew there would be a talent show segment, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Wen Xingze didn't have any requirements for the guest room he stayed in, and the ordinary guest rooms were on the second floor, which was more convenient for completing tasks at night. He also didn't have much desire to show off in this aspect.
Zhu Bo obviously thought the same thing. The two of them watched the performance from the side and applauded from time to time.
Soon the first six guests finished their performances, including singing and dancing. The seventh guest was a foreigner named Jean, a blond handsome playboy who seemed to be a designer.
Jean performed an online flirting act, then got punched, and spent the rest of the session plugging his nose with a tissue...
Zhu Bo immediately showed him great respect.
Guest number eight is a supermodel named Fang Ruxue. She is completely different from the playboy number seven. She looks like a cool and cold big sister.
Wen Xingze remembers Fang Ruxue. Although she is still just emerging in the supermodel circle, she will soon shine in the next few shows and become famous all over the world. She is a very dedicated and ambitious supermodel sister.
The fact that she would appear in this variety show made Wen Xingze feel that the producer should not be underestimated.
After Zhu Bo perfunctorily finished his whistle-blowing performance, it was Wen Xingze's turn. By then, the supermodel and a member of a boy band who had appeared before him had already received a high number of votes, seven and eight respectively.
If nothing unexpected happens, Wen Xingze should be able to get an ordinary guest room.
But since the words "no surprises" appeared in front, Wen Xingze always felt that something unexpected was going to happen, because this is a common and old-fashioned writing technique.
As he walked to the front, several guests and staff members showed their anticipation:
"Play the suona?" "Breathe fire?" "Act cute?"
Wen Xingze: "...You seem to have a deep misunderstanding of my profession!"
Of course, Wen Xingze couldn't perform suona or fire breathing. He walked to the locker next to him and wanted to find something from it. A guest before him had found nunchakus from it, and Wen Xingze thought that just shaking a rattle a few times would constitute his performance.
It was also at this time.
Wen Xingze suddenly remembered the "mustard seed space" mentioned in the text message from Guangta Logistics yesterday, saying that the sea sent by the mermaid parents had been placed in the mustard seed space.
Before his phone was confiscated last night, Wen Xingze chatted with the Dragon Clan parents on WeChat for the last time, and they also mentioned the Mustard Seed Space.
"Mustard seed space?" Wen Xingze couldn't help but wonder, "Is it like that magical portable space in the movie?"
The portable space is simply a standard feature of farming literature. Wen Xingze also wants to farm, grow sweet potatoes, grapes, mulberries, etc.
However, the Dragon Clan parents did not tell him how to open this space. They said it was very simple and Wen Xingze could open it anytime he wanted.
“…”
Memories come back.
The other nine guests looked at him expectantly.
The director waved his hand, asking the cameraman to move closer to give Wen Xingze a close-up. No matter what talent Wen Xingze was going to perform, playing the suona or singing, it would definitely become one of the excellent and even popular materials in this episode.
In the close-up shot, the boy's light amber eyes are watery, and the teardrop mole at the end of his eyes is shining. He has a handsome appearance that is eye-catching wherever he goes.
Wen Xingze grabbed the handle of the locker, which was two meters high. He pulled the door open to both sides while distracted, and then:
Crash——
The brackish, transparent seawater gushed out, accompanied by shells. A little dolphin peeked out from the cabinet, seemingly hesitating whether to come out. It raised its beak affectionately to greet Wen Xingze.
Looking out from the cabinet, there is an endless deep sea, with familiar soft corals, seaweed, sperm whales, and bad-tempered lionfish darting around like flags.
The lantern fish puffed up its mouth and flashed twice like a light bulb with unstable power. This was its unique way of saying hello.
All the marine creatures saluted Wen Xingze earnestly, and the little dolphin waved its fins.
Under the watchful eyes of all guests and program staff, and filmed by eight cameras.
His mustard seed space has arrived.
Wen Xingze: “…” Wait, didn’t we agree that living objects cannot be mailed?
Guests and program crew: “…………”
Click.
The scoreboard in the director's hand fell to the ground.
Wen Xingze immediately closed the cabinet, his mind in a mess: "This is not what you think. I can explain it."
However, the people around him were clearly even more confused than he was. The photographer closest to him looked at him in confusion, helplessness, and utter despair: "Okay, explain."
Wen Xingze was about to burst into a puff of green smoke above his head. He was about to freeze. He thought quickly: "This is a kind of performance, magic-"
Zhu Bo was confused: "Magic?"
Wen Xingze: "No, no, no, demon—"
The supermodel's eyes were glazed over: "Three years of simulated college entrance exams for five years?"
The word order is wrong, and what does this have to do with anything? Wen Xingze also felt helpless: "No, it's that, the devil——"
"Magic?" said a haughty voice.
"Yes, that one."
Wen Xingze finally breathed a sigh of relief, but saw everyone looking at the cabinet with even more horror.
Wen Xingze suddenly had a bad feeling. He slowly turned his head to look over, only to see that the cabinet door had been opened from the inside at some point.
Long black hair, light blue pupils, and shark veil covering the face.
Elder You pushed open the cabinet and looked around, revealing a look of disdain when he met Wen Xingze's gaze. His tail fin, however, defied his master's will and began to sway with joy and excitement.
"Sorry, I seem to have come at a bad time."
He said this in a proud tone, then reached out and closed the cabinet again. The seawater that had been poured onto the ground also flowed back and disappeared as he closed the cabinet.
Wen Xingze: "Haha..."
The cruise ship was completely quiet.
