"Wow! Survival on a deserted island can be like this? Group A is having a barbecue and music festival. I want to go too! I'm going to contact some acquaintances right now to see if I can get a few days off with Group A." Wu Jing, who was far away in Beijing, was also watching the survival show. As he watched Li Yinsheng's live stream, he saw that this young girl was optimistic, cheerful, witty, and brave. She seemed to be blessed by Lady Luck, not only finding a way to survive in harsh environments but also finding joy in hardship, which made him yearn for such a life.
Wu Jing smiled and secretly admired this young girl who possessed extraordinary abilities.
He quickly picked up his phone, his fingers flying across the screen as he scrolled through his contacts. He remembered a few friends who had good relationships with the show's producers; perhaps he could help connect them. After some searching, Wu Jing locked onto her target and sent a message: "Old Liu, what have you been up to lately? I have a favor to ask you. I heard you're working on that desert island survival show, and I'd like to join Group A for a few days. See if you can arrange that?"
After sending the message, Wu Jing waited expectantly for a reply. He and Lao Liu were close friends, so the matter was probably true. Sure enough, his phone vibrated not long after. Lao Liu's reply was short and to the point: "Okay, I'll ask for you, but it depends on the specific situation with the production team. Please wait a moment."
Wu Jing was overjoyed and quickly replied with a "thank you" emoji before continuing to watch Li Yinsheng's live stream intently. On the screen, the chubby girl and her teammates were laughing and chatting, their optimistic and positive spirit deeply inspiring him.
A few hours later, Lao Liu sent another message: "It's still pending. I've spoken to the production team about your situation. If they're going to include an artist, they've agreed to give you priority. But we'll have to wait for their notification for the specific arrangements. You need to be ready to leave at any time."
"Okay!" Wu Jing was a little disappointed, but she didn't insist any further.
He also knew that the show "Man vs. Wild" was incredibly popular, not only in China but also around the world, becoming an undeniable phenomenon.
Audiences from all over the world were deeply attracted by its unique survival challenges and profound exploration of human nature.
Whether they were celebrities or ordinary people participating in the show, they all became incredibly famous. The celebrities who participated in the show saw their personal value rise to an unprecedented level, their social media account followers surged, and they received numerous commercial endorsements and film and television offers, causing their net worth to skyrocket.
The show is a hit, and other celebrities naturally want to ride its wave of popularity and try to appear on the show. However, there are too many applicants for too few spots.
...
"Wow! Surviving on a deserted island, and they can even have a barbecue concert? Group A really knows how to have fun! Sister Zhou, could you contact the production team to see if they need any guest appearances? I can come on for free." Bai Jingting, who had just finished filming, was eating while watching Fatty's live stream. He looked at his manager and asked.
"You don't need to tell me that, I've already found someone to pull some strings."
"You know how popular this show is. I'd like you to be on it too, but there are too many people eyeing it. I tried to pull some strings, but it might not work, and there's no guarantee you'll be chosen for a surprise appearance. This show is so popular, even top stars want to jump on the bandwagon for free and ride the wave of popularity."
"Okay, I understand." Bai Jingting knew his own status. Compared to those top celebrities, he was still far behind, but compared to others, he was much better. He was a typical case of being neither the best nor the worst.
At this moment, Bai Jingting looked at the chubby girl in the video and felt a pang of reluctance and longing.
........
Hongtao also noticed the enthusiastic feedback from the audience, and he began to seriously consider their suggestions.
After all, a good show not only needs exciting challenges and thrilling segments, but also content that touches people's hearts and conveys positive energy. The friendship and unity shown by Group A are precisely one of the values that the show hopes to convey.
Hongtao immediately convened a meeting with the program's directors and planners.
The theme revolves around the next variables and the demands of the live stream viewers.
"Has the plan for the next variable been come up yet? Also, the viewers in the live stream strongly requested that ordinary people participate in the survival and experience activities of each group. The third variable will be a selection of viewers to be included in the third variable." Hong Tao glanced at Cai An'an, quite satisfied with the first variable she had planned.
"We already have ideas for the second variable: team competition and collaboration to complete the task."
"For example: gather the five groups of contestants together and have each group take turns performing tasks such as making fire by friction, chopping down trees, spearfishing, setting traps, and building shelters. The team that completes each task in the shortest time will receive a certain number of points, and the top three teams with the highest total scores will be rewarded." The planner, Xiao Li, said with excitement in his eyes.
"Oh! Could you elaborate?" Hong Tao was also interested in the variables that the planner, Xiao Li, had mentioned. He leaned forward slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of anticipation and curiosity.
Xiao Li cleared his throat and continued to elaborate: "Our goal is to make this not just a simple variable, but a comprehensive test of the team's capabilities and a chance to improve their skills."
Making fire by rubbing sticks together and cutting down trees are both simple tasks. Members of each group can participate, and each group can take turns rubbing sticks together to make fire and cutting down trees. The group that takes the shortest time wins first place in that round, and the other groups that complete the task are ranked in the same way.
If there are not enough participants in each group, then participants can compete repeatedly.
The time allotted for building shelters will be judged by Ed Stafford and Bear Grylls. The group that builds the best shelter will be ranked first, and the others will be ranked in order. The group that sets traps the fastest and best will be ranked in order. The group that catches the most fish in the sea will be ranked first, and the others will be ranked in order.
In each competition, the first place gets three points, the second place gets two points, and the third, fourth and fifth place get one point. After the total score is calculated at the end of the competition, the top three groups will receive a reward.
The first place winner will receive a day's rest at the resort; the second place winner will receive a KFC meal; and the third place winner will receive five kilograms of rice.
After listening, Hong Tao nodded in satisfaction, his eyes shining with approval. "This plan is very creative. It tests the contestants' survival skills and incorporates elements of teamwork. I believe the audience will love it. This time, we'll refine the variable according to Xiao Li's direction. After you've completed the details, please present it to me."
However, you need to come up with a more specific plan regarding the participation of non-citizens.
The second variable is set for seven days later, which will be the twentieth day after this episode airs.
