The promotion lasted for three months and the enrollment took one week. The program team divided into three groups and announced the list of guests for the Asian edition at the end of October.
Japan: Kumiko Terauchi (famous actress, karate champion), Wataru Kojima (mystery manga artist, representative work "Haruhi no Mystery Story"), Keito Ishikawa (famous Noh actor)
South Korea: Park Min-chul (TV reporter, social news celebrity), Ryu Soo-ji (leader of idol boy band, No. 1 on the Asian Celebrity List, phenomenal male singer), Kim Lan-er (rich daughter, new actress, studying at a university in the United States)
Thailand: Lin Nail (transgender People, singers, actors)
India: Raj Sharma (Yale student, YouTube celebrity, medical student)
Singapore: Lee Connor (Asian actor, common face in American TV series)
Russia: Andrei (athlete, Olympic shooting champion), Valeria (ballet dancer)
China: Jian Jing (writer), Jiang Baiyan (actor), Zhang Xueer (model), Wu Lie (famous martial arts actor, martial arts instructor, working in Hollywood)
A total of 15 people.
There was a lot of complaints in China.
[There are so many complaints]
[As expected, the majority are actors and stars, this is a variety show]
[I don’t know what to say, no one knows the new faces, but with a bunch of stars, is it okay to make inferences? ]
[How does the show select people? Why didn’t the champion of our "The Strongest Challenge" be invited? It was killed in seconds! ]
[I always feel something is weird, but I can't explain it]
[Only two bears? How are they distributed? ? ]
[Bald Eagle's bear PTSD hasn't healed yet]
[I can only say that it's not enough without homosexuals ZZZQ]
[But there are transgender people (doge)]
[Nothing to talk about, just do it]
[I won't talk about Xiaobai, after all, he has won the best actor award, what is Zhang Xue'er? Not even a supermodel! ]
...
In short, a stone stirs up a thousand waves.
Not only domestic discussions, but also foreign discussions. Many people protested that the invited guests did not represent the strength of the country.
Actors, singers, Internet celebrities... These are all industries that are not representative in terms of intelligence in the eyes of the public.
In response, the program team said that "The King of Reasoning" is a reality show, neither the Mathematical Olympiad nor the Olympics, and it is not a PK to select top talents.
What they consider is entertainment and viewing, not professionalism and competitiveness.
If everyone pursues this, why don't you take online courses? Aren't Harvard and MIT's open courses professional? Look at our local dramas, and the people invited are also stars, hosts, singers, etc., and there is no favoritism.
Jian Jing: I believe you are a ghost.
Your local dramas have scripts.
But no matter what, as a reality show, they can invite whoever they want, even if they do something small, they can't blame anything.
She was curious about why Jiang Baiyan was mixed in.
Called to ask.
Jiang Baiyan: "I don't know. They invited me, so I participated."
"What's your test?"
"Puzzle and everyone's faults." He said honestly.
Jian Jing: "..." I knew they were going to mess with me.
"What about the others?"
"Zhang Xueer has something to do with it. She is the spokesperson for XX brand. That brand has a good relationship with the production team." Jiang Baiyan never disappoints people and is well-informed. "Teacher Wu was chosen by the program team. They need a face that foreign audiences are familiar with, and they can immediately think of China."
He analyzed: "Jingjing, you are very popular and related to reasoning, so they will definitely invite you. The rest must be famous artists. There are already two women, and the last one must be a man." The
program team's screening is very rough. First of all, you have to be famous, at least well-known in your own country, and it would be even better if you are also a little famous internationally.
Jiang Baiyan's film "Hide and Seek" won an international award, and "Rose Gold" also had decent box office overseas, so the conditions were met.
"I know several colleagues have received invitations, but some of them are not available, and some have not passed the test."
As we all know, famous artists have very tight schedules, and invitations are constantly coming in, so it is normal to have to wait for half a year. But the news of "The King of Reasoning" was released three months ago.
In addition, although some artists are famous and have high traffic, their intelligence is relatively ordinary, and the production team can't ruin their own brand. In particular, the nationalities of the guests of this reality show are complex, and they need to speak English throughout the whole process, which eliminated a group of people who can't even write essays clearly.
In summary, Jiang Baiyan, who has not arranged any work for himself after filming the spy drama, is famous and has decent English, so he was naturally shortlisted.
"Jingjing, don't you want to see me?" He finished explaining and complained miserably, "You haven't paid much attention to me recently."
Jian Jing: "Really?"
"Yes." He affirmed, "I know the previous case made you unhappy, but that was not my fault, and I didn't know they were so heartless."
Jian Jing couldn't help but said, "This is not a question of happiness or not, it's mental pollution."
"So you vent your anger."
"No?" She said fiercely.
Jiang Baiyan was frightened: "Okay, okay, my fault. Please vent your anger on poor Xiaoxun, I won't resist."
Jian Jing: "..."
"See you on the cruise." She shook her head, waved away the strange picture in her mind, and hung up the phone decisively.
The filming time of the Asian version of "The King of Mystery" is from November 14th to November 20th, which lasts for one week.
Jian Jing breathed a sigh of relief. Communication equipment cannot be used during the filming. It would be terrible if she missed Double Eleven. Her small house is about to be completed, and there are a lot of express deliveries waiting to be received.
The day before departure, Kang Mucheng went to her house and prepared to take the knight away.
"Do you really not need me to accompany you?" he asked.
Jian Jing said: "Just watch the live broadcast with peace of mind. It's just recording a program. What's the danger?"
Kang Mucheng said calmly: "This sentence makes me feel particularly dangerous."
She: "..."
"The program will be recorded for a total of seven days, of which three days and two nights will be live broadcasts, at least 10 hours a day." He checked the contents of the contract, his brows tightly locked, "That means someone is watching you all the time except when you sleep. Is that okay?" Jian Jing
shrugged, "Three days should be fine."
Kang Mucheng sighed, and a vague worry rose in his heart again. This feeling was like one afternoon when you forgot to eat, and suddenly drank a cup of espresso. Your stomach was stimulated and moved, and a slow and dull burning sensation appeared.
But he said nothing, because saying it would not change anything, so he had to reach out and touch her head.
She turned her head to the side, and her soft hair gently stuck to his palm.
He felt somewhat relieved, and the helpless mood just now suddenly subsided.
"Remember what I told you." Kang Mucheng said, "I am satisfied in one second."
"It's not that exaggerated." She smiled, "Don't worry, Mr. Kang."
He looked at her. Jian Jing
sighed exaggeratedly and held his hand: "Don't worry, Mucheng."
Kang Mucheng finally smiled, but he was still worried and reminded her: "Contact me anytime if anything happens. It doesn't matter even if you can't win. Your safety is the most important."
"Okay."
"Don't let yourself get angry." He said, "If they make unreasonable demands, call me immediately. At worst, you can sue me."
"Got it."
Kang Mucheng looked around and said, "Do you have enough clothes? Do you want to bring some jewelry?"
Jian Jing: "Enough, I brought luggage for ten days."
He: "I'll take you to the airport tomorrow."
"You'd better take my dog home first." Jian Jing couldn't stand it anymore and pushed him away, "I'm going to bed. I have to get up early tomorrow."
Kang Mucheng swallowed the rest of his words.
"Let's go, don't worry, remember to watch the live broadcast." She threatened, "If you don't watch it, I will never talk to you again."
He couldn't help laughing: "Watch it, of course."
"Good night."
"Good night."
That day, Jian Jing slept well.
The next day, the filming began.
The content of the first day was actually the characters' appearance, chatting on the way about their views on the program, whether they have confidence, whether they are looking forward to it, etc. An introduction will be added later to make it easier for the audience to recognize their faces.
There is nothing good to say, except that the means of transportation is a helicopter.
Yes, the team is rich and generous, and they are not short of sponsors. As soon as they appeared, they made a big move, gathering by helicopter.
After nearly an hour of flight, Jian Jing landed on the tarmac of the cruise ship.
The cruise ship is called "Flying World", a private cruise ship sponsored by the Korean 3Q Group. It can accommodate more than 500 people and is luxurious beyond imagination.
It is said that this cruise ship has hosted many celebrities and politicians, and even held discordant parties.
This was revealed by Korean netizens. It is still unknown whether it is true or not, but Jian Jing thinks it may be true, because this cruise ship is N times more luxurious than the one she participated in the auction.
Think about it, the Rat is rented, but this is the private property of the Korean tycoon, so of course it is as luxurious as possible.
The guest room is extremely spacious, the balcony can overlook the blue sea, and the bathroom is more than ten square meters, so you can take a bath while watching TV and watching the sea.
All the bedding is made of brand new silk, and any bottle of wine in the wine cabinet is worth tens of thousands.
Jian Jing: "..."
It feels like I have walked into a wrong variety show.
But this is indeed "The King of Reasoning".
After settling down, the fifteen guests have a day to get to know each other. You can choose to chat with others and observe each other's personality so as to deal with them later, or you can be alone and ignore everyone to maintain a sense of mystery.
Similarly, the more things you do and the more materials you have, the higher your appearance rate will be.
Jian Jing decided to lie down first.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Baiyan arrived and came over to say hello.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Xueer came over and had a brief chat with her.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Lie found her and recognized each other.
Well, everyone hugged each other quite obviously.
The next morning, the fifteen guests made their first collective appearance.
Jian Jing met her competitors this time. Because there were so many people and the situation was complicated, she would not introduce them to them. Anyway, everyone nodded politely and sat around the long table in the restaurant.
The host introduced himself: "Hello everyone, I am the host Daniel, welcome to "The King of Reasoning."
Applause.
Daniel introduced the identity information of each guest one by one.
After saying one, the person stood up, bowed, and expressed his gratitude, such as "I am very happy to participate in the show, I will definitely win."
It was Jian Jing's turn.
"Jian Jing is a famous Chinese writer. Her representative works include "The Devil Doctor", "The Hide and Seek Child" and "Rose, Gold and Killer". Daniel's introduction was concise and clear. "Welcome, Jian. Do you have anything to say to everyone?"
Jian Jing stood up and looked around. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "Although I am just a novelist and not a professional detective, I will do my best. Thank you."
Jiang Baiyan clapped vigorously.
Zhang Xueer and Wu Lie clapped enthusiastically.
The Japanese and Koreans clapped perfunctorily.
Thailand, India, Singapore and Russia clapped indifferently.
After the introduction, Daniel got to the point: "Well, now we will start the character drawing phase. Do you see the two lottery tubes in my hand? Men are on the left and women are on the right. Please draw your numbers."
The guests took turns to draw in alphabetical order of their surnames.
Jian Jing drew the number "4", a number that is very suitable for lying down.
"Please go to the room on the seventh floor according to your number. Your identity information is there." Daniel smiled mysteriously, "The next time we meet, the story will officially begin."
