"It's simple in theory: take the contestants from other groups and walk around the shelter of Group A. Let the contestants from other groups see the gap between them and Group A, undermine their confidence, and with such a stark contrast, if they can't see any hope of winning the championship, will they still persevere?"
"Furthermore, you will be responsible for selecting and training the participants for 'Man vs. Wild'. The training will take place in July and August, and you will be in charge of that. We can also entrust the live broadcast of the training to your Hunan TV station as compensation for ending 'Man vs. Wild'." The leader from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television said in an unquestionable tone.
“Okay, then I’ll think of a way to completely end the ‘Survival on the Desert Island’ program at the end of June or the beginning of July, and let Fatty return to the ‘Survival in the Wilderness’ training camp.” Upon hearing this, Hong Tao’s mind raced. If he insisted on disagreeing with the opinions of the leaders of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, the variety show ‘Survival on the Desert Island’ could continue to be broadcast. But if he offended the leaders of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, they might make things difficult for them in the future, or even put them on the sidelines and never recover.
Although Hongtao was somewhat reluctant, he agreed to the leader's suggestion, knowing that it was the safest option at the moment.
Moreover, he also received compensation for the alternative live streaming, and the leaders of the State Administration of Radio and Television also put in a good word for him, making it easier for him to ask for favors in the future.
Hongtao's statement earned a nod of approval from the leader of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. He continued, "Hongtao, you are a smart man. You know when to make what kind of decision."
After ending the phone call with the leaders of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, Hong Tao immediately gathered several directors and key personnel together to discuss how to end the "Survival on a Desert Island" program.
"Man vs. Wild" must come to an end, and it must end perfectly, leaving no negative emotions or regrets behind.
"I have summoned you here today to discuss an important matter with you."
I just received a call from above, asking us to end our "Survival on a Desert Island" variety show as soon as possible, because the higher-ups want Fatty to participate in "Survival in the Wild" as a team leader.
This will free up more time for the chubby girl to learn various wilderness survival skills, train her body, and cultivate teamwork, etc.
Furthermore, the higher-ups also proposed a method to allow contestants to automatically withdraw from the competition in advance.
The idea is to take the contestants from other groups on a tour of Group A's shelter, show them the gap between them and Group A, undermine their confidence, and make them lose hope of winning the championship, thus causing them to withdraw from the competition.
"I think this method is feasible, but it's too abrupt and will definitely cause public outcry. So let's brainstorm and come up with a better solution." Hong Tao pointed upwards, his face showing a mixture of helplessness and seriousness.
He glanced around at the team members sitting around the conference table. Each of their faces was filled with doubt and confusion, but even more so with reflection on this sudden change.
"Director Hong, is this... is it really appropriate to do this? Our program has always been about fair competition. If we suddenly use this method to make the contestants withdraw from the competition, won't the audience think that we have lost our principles?" Assistant Director Xiao Li broke the silence first, his voice carrying a hint of uncertainty.
Hong Tao sighed softly and nodded: "I understand your concerns, which is why I called everyone here. But we have to follow the decisions made above. The key is to find a way to meet the leadership's requirements while minimizing negative impacts, while maintaining the program's bottom line."
"Director, when do we need to end the 'Survival on a Desert Island' variety show?" Cai An'an asked thoughtfully.
He was also constantly flipping through some documents.
"The latest it will be early July," Hong Tao said, glancing at Cai An'an.
In recent days, Cai An'an, as the planner and director, has provided a lot of creative ideas and details for "Survival on a Desert Island", attracting the attention of a large number of viewers and causing the ratings to rise steadily. Hong Tao has naturally seen and appreciated her efforts and contributions.
Upon hearing Cai An'an's question, I knew that Cai An'an had something on her mind.
"It's June 10th now, and there are still about 20 days until the beginning of July."
The reality show "Survival on a Desert Island" has been running for forty days. Group A has five members, Group B has two members, Group C has four members, Group D has four members, and Group E also has four members.
I have two suggestions. First, next time the doctor conducts a physical examination, be more rigorous. I have reviewed the physical examination data that the doctor gave to each person. Dilraba and Tang Yan from Group C, Zhang Zifeng from Group D, and Song Tie from Group E all have potential health issues, and are somewhere between withdrawing from the competition and not withdrawing.
Next time they have a physical exam, let the doctor say they failed and force them to withdraw from the competition, reducing the number of participants in each group once again and demoralizing them.
My second suggestion is to introduce a more challenging variable next time. For example, the three lowest-ranked groups need to eliminate one person each. After this round of eliminations, each group except Group A will have very few people left.
Surviving on a desert island is not just about food, drink, and shelter; sometimes, it's also about finding solace in solitude and emotional support.
If each group only has one or two people left, or even just one person surviving, it increases the chances of them automatically withdrawing from the competition. At this moment, Cai An'an slowly voiced her thoughts, her eyes gleaming with a thoughtful light.
She knew that although the decision was cruel, they had no choice but to do it because the higher-ups had given the order.
"An'an, your two suggestions are excellent: gradually whittle down the competition and force the contestants to withdraw voluntarily."
Xiao Li, you should talk to the doctor who is conducting the physical examination about the examination.
"An'an, you'll be in charge of planning the next unexpected development and implementing it as soon as possible." Hong Tao highly approved of Cai An'an's strategy, his eyes shining with approval.
He knew that Cai An'an's "gradual attrition" strategy could not only effectively reduce the number of people in each group, but also put psychological pressure on them, forcing some weaker or more unstable players to give up the competition, thus paving the way for the eventual victory of Group A.
That's right, Hongtao plans to award the championship of "Survival on a Desert Island" to Group A.
Although their program has always emphasized that it is absolutely fair and impartial, and that there are no inside stories or scripts.
However, the show's ratings, buzz, and popularity are almost entirely focused on a few Group A contestants or the chubby girls. If there's a major upset and the show ends prematurely, who knows what kind of controversy it will cause?
After all, the emotions of the audience are always unpredictable. They crave surprises and plot twists, yet fear that the expectations they have built up in their hearts will be dashed.
