You were asked to be on a dating variety show, but all the guests failed?

Chapter 161: Oolong Island, It's Really a Big Oolong

When the guests were on the plane, the live broadcast room was indeed still operating normally. The plane was equipped with satellite communications and could access the Internet. The in-flight images were also transmitted to the platform in their entirety, but the image quality was a little poor.

The audience hadn't left yet. After all, they already knew the destination. Seeing the guests happily eating and watching a movie would highlight the funny things that were about to happen.

At this moment, when Li Wensheng took the sightseeing car and dropped the eight guests off on the beach, the heat in the live broadcast room reached its peak today.

[To be honest, when I watched them eating just now, although I couldn’t eat such high-end food, I was very happy to see it.]

[I understand, I understand everything! They were eating so deliciously, and I couldn't help laughing when I thought about what kind of suffering they would have to endure.]

[Hahahahaha, the production team really went all out. They dared to do this with such a relationship. Did they think that the last time they exposed the melon-eating in the cave was too effective and wanted to repeat it again?]

[No way. Last time in the cave, the guests didn't know there were cameras and the show was live, so they dared to say those things. Now everyone has a PD around them, and it's obviously arranged by the production team. No matter how stupid they are, they won't fight in front of the camera.]

[I don’t think it’s that simple… The director can come up with such a plan. It’s obvious that he’s crazy. He must have other tricks up his sleeve.]

[??? No one cares about our Wen Jin? She is a wounded person! And she is in a wheelchair! Isn’t it a bit too outrageous to let a wounded person with a broken leg survive on a deserted island?!]

[Well, it seems to be true... But the reputation of Sichuan Southern TV has always been good, much better than that of its neighboring friendly TV station. It is unlikely that they would joke about the safety of the guests. The measures should still be in place.]

[Haha, then last time in the mountains there were so many snakes and typhoons, and we also encountered two wanted criminals, is this what you call safety? ]

[There is no need to be harsh. Last time it was just bad luck. According to gossip, someone was deliberately causing trouble. Moreover, the Sichuan Southern TV station had a medical team at the foot of the mountain, and the officials arrived very quickly. Accidents are inevitable. What is important is the response measures. Are the people mocking the program team fans or the cyber army? ]

【…】

The barrage started to quarrel again.

However, neither the guests nor the program team cared about the current public opinion situation.

The former just didn't have the time to care, while the latter just didn't bother to care at all. They had guessed that they would be scolded when they were making the plan, and now it was just speculation that became reality. What was there to worry about?

on the beach.

The eight guests and the eight PDs who were filming looked at each other in bewilderment.

Ten minutes after Li Wensheng got on the bus and ran away, the guests finally accepted the fact that they were abandoned and finally understood what Li Wensheng was up to. Even some of the guests who had more variety show experience felt an unexpected but reasonable sense of relief.

Just say it, how could Li Wensheng really let them travel comfortably? Without torture, where would the show’s effect come from, where would the live broadcast’s popularity and topicality come from, and where would the funding come from?
There is a price to pay for flying in that Gulfstream G700.

Han Fei looked at the camera with a fake smile:

"Oolong Island, right? It was indeed a huge oolong. Director Li's abacus was so good that the beads fell on my face."

"Oh, now that I think about it, the name of this island is also fake, right?"

His eyes were clearly directed at the camera, but the PD filming him felt as if he was being stared at by a murderous gaze, and his scalp felt like it was tingling.

The camera shook slightly from side to side, and the PD indicated that he could not speak.

Han Fei also shook his head and sneered:
"I'm not targeting you. I'm asking Director Li - if I'm not mistaken, he should be looking at this side with a lewd smile on his face right now, right?"

As soon as the voice fell, a familiar shout rang out from the small speakers hanging on the waists of each PD at the same time:
"Who is being lewd? Who is being lewd! Han Fei, if you are bored, hurry up and find a place to set up shelter. Don't blame me for not reminding you. This island is not small. There are wild animals on the island. The temperature difference is large and the weather is changeable. If there is no shelter, you will either catch a cold at night or encounter some large small animals. That is no joke!"

The owner of this voice is the familiar Director Li, Li Wensheng.

Han Fei gritted his teeth and sneered:
"Didn't you just say on the plane that this island has been developed? It's being broadcast live now, and there's an airstrip. I don't believe that we can't find a house to live in!"

"There are eight guests here. If we search the island thoroughly, it's impossible that we can't even find a construction site. You wait!"

Li Wensheng remained silent.

It wasn't that he was frightened again and panicked. He didn't turn on the microphone because he was afraid that the smile in his voice would be too obvious and Han Fei would hear something strange.

Seeing that the eight guests were about to leave, as if they were really going to Sou Island to find a place to stay, Han Fei's PD finally couldn't help it.

"Well, Mr. Han, I advise you not to go looking for a place to stay. It's better to build a shelter quickly while the weather is good and it's still early. The production team won't let you find a ready-made place to stay."

This PD was the one Han Fei first met. They were old acquaintances and they had met once because of breakfast. His words were more reliable. Even if Han Fei did not believe Li Wensheng, he would not doubt him.

Han Fei frowned and asked:
"Why, there really are no buildings on this island?"

"But there is clearly an airstrip. When I was about to land, I saw a small dock from the plane. You also have a live broadcast signal. With so many basic facilities, it is impossible that there are no houses."

PD ignored Li Wensheng's yelling in the headset and patiently explained:

"The island was indeed photographed for development, so the infrastructure has been built, such as a signal base station, a pier, and an airstrip, but the presence of these things does not mean there are houses on the island."

"Everything in the early stage is to prepare for the construction of the resort island in the future. With the dock and runway, we can transport construction materials and tools to the island, and with the base station, the workers will not be disconnected. But now we have only made preparations. The resort has not started construction at all, and the construction team has not even entered the site. Where can you find the construction site's underground building?"

"So, don't waste your time on this and just try to build a shelter."

After the PD finished speaking, everyone understood why Director Li had been silent just now.

It wasn't because he wanted to be at a loss for words because of Han Fei's threat. On the contrary, he wanted to mislead the guests in this way, making them spend a lot of time looking for a house, only to find out that there was no ready-made accommodation on the island... You can imagine how explosive the show would be just by thinking with your toes.

What do the audience want to see when watching the show?
They've long been tired of those high-end gadgets.

The stereotype of celebrities is that their daily lives are luxurious and comfortable. If we film them enjoying themselves comfortably, it is totally meaningless. What the audience wants to see is chaos, and they want to see celebrities take off their celebrity baggage and return to being ordinary people.

In China, it is impossible for famous stars to live like ordinary people when they go out, and their living standards are not the same as ordinary people - oh, except for those like Hu Ka and Han Fei who are persecuted by their companies.

Now the program crew has thrown these rich or noble guests onto the island, which is equivalent to forcibly stripping them of the weapons brought by money and fame. Just like all people stranded on a desert island, they have to deal with whatever happens, no matter how miserable they are. Coupled with the complicated relationships between the guests, this naturally creates a program effect. If there is any possible emotional line to catalyze and create a Shura scene, it will be even more interesting.

Han Fei was silent for a while, then asked sincerely:
"Did Director Li do prank or challenge variety shows before?"

The small speaker on PD's waist sounded again:

"Nonsense! I used to work on a transformation variety show! It's about letting everyone experience a different life through changes in the environment. What do you know?" The eight guests were finally completely relieved at this point.

No wonder, this familiar feeling...

A row of barrages flashed through their minds.

Two words: forget it.

Nie Wenjin smiled bitterly:

"It would be fine if the eight guests were healthy, but I'm injured and in a wheelchair. Apart from the road the sightseeing bus just drove on, there are no other roads that can be used by wheelchairs. Am I not a burden?"

"How about this, Director Li? Can I temporarily withdraw from the recording now and make up for it in the next few episodes to avoid any unexpected situations that may cause bad effects? After all, I can't help at all. This state is not good for the program or other people."

Li Wensheng's voice on the loudspeaker sounded particularly ruthless, with only two words:

"No."

Nie Wenjin's PD quickly added:

"We have a medical team accompanying us, and any unexpected situations will be promptly addressed, so there will be no problems."

It seems that they are determined to prevent anyone from quitting.

It is normal for Nie Wenjin to withdraw from the recording. It may not be a big deal in other programs, but the relationship between the guests in this program is messy. For example, Zhao Mingtao, Shu Yi, and Lu Siyuan, if Nie Wenjin can leave, they will find various reasons to withdraw together. What is the meaning of this program?
Everyone is well aware of the program team's plan.

Except Qi Qingyi.

Qi Qingyi stared at the camera, as if she wanted to stare Li Wensheng to death through the lens, while pulling Nie Wenjin to comfort her:
"Sister Wenjin, it's okay. Although you have difficulty moving, fortunately there's nothing wrong with your hand. It was just dislocated a few days ago. I checked the results of the examination and it's fine as long as you don't lift heavy objects."

"Just sit back and take a rest. Don't worry. I'll take care of your part of the job!"

Han Fei looked at her indignant expression and sighed in his heart -

Otherwise, why do we say that fans’ love is the purest? Look, Miss Qi, who has never done anything romantic, can do two jobs for her idol again and again. Even girls in love can’t do this.

But it was obvious that even if Qi Qingyi wanted to, Nie Wenjin in the wheelchair was not very willing.

Nie Wenjin has a very strong character and is unwilling to easily accept other people's kindness. Even though she has accepted Qi Qingyi's help, it does not mean that she is willing to let Qi Qingyi do everything for her.

She looked like she was listening carefully, but her eyes were thoughtful and heavy. If she was really willing, that would be crazy.

Han Fei sighed and poked Qi Qingyi's shoulder:

"I think we should first find a suitable place to use as shelter, and then we can divide into groups to look for things."

"Food, materials needed for shelter, fresh water, everything is in short supply. The male guests will do the physical work of moving things, and the female guests will run around looking for some lighter things. As for Nie Wenjin, she can sit and help with things within her ability, such as making fire, handling food, organizing materials, etc., as logistics."

"Isn't this a more reasonable arrangement? Our luggage has been left behind, and she can still search to see if there is anything useful in it."

After his reminder, everyone looked towards the roadside.

There seemed to be only one cement road on the island, and it wasn't even paved with asphalt, probably because the asphalt truck hadn't been to the island yet. The sightseeing bus had long since disappeared from the gray cement road, but there were a lot of suitcases and travel bags.

The production crew was quite humane in this regard, and Li Wensheng did not really intend to leave these guests as savages, so they did not take the suitcases with them.

After all, the confidentiality work was done well. The guests had no idea that they were going to survive on a deserted island, let alone take a private plane, so it was impossible for them to bring any survival tools. The suitcases were basically filled with some daily necessities and clothes, and at most some snacks. Even if half of them brought snacks, it would not be enough for the eight guests to eat for three days.

Besides, even if they brought everything, they still had to find a water source!

Who would put a few bottles of water in their checked luggage without thinking it’s too heavy?

After comprehensive consideration, Director Li mercifully threw their luggage on the ground and did not take it away with the car.

Xu Qingan, who had always had little presence, suddenly slapped his head:
"Wait, there's something in my suitcase that might be useful to you all later!"

Everyone was stunned.

Could it be that Master Xu, who brought money into the group, knew in advance that they would have to survive on a deserted island, so he brought some outdoor gear?
Even Zhao Mingtao, who had a grudge against him, and his ex-wife Shu Yi, who just confirmed their divorce yesterday, couldn't help but stare at Xu Qing'an at this moment.

Xu Qing'an ignored their looks, rushed to his suitcase and opened it swiftly.

His suitcase was 30 inches long, and from the sound of the suitcase hitting the ground, one could tell that it was filled with a lot of stuff. After he opened it, everyone realized that there was indeed a lot of stuff.

There are even so many that it makes people's pupils tremble.

Baseball bats, wrenches, brass knuckles, hammers... Things were taken out one by one and thrown on the ground. Finally, Xu Qingan took out something that was wrapped very tightly. After tearing off the paper and tape on it, he revealed...

A fire axe with a handle was revealed.

Xu Qingan cheerfully showed the fire axe to Han Fei, the only familiar person present:
"Look, it's still sharpened. If I need to chop down a tree, this thing will definitely come in handy!"

Han Fei: ...

Everyone:…

No, man, you came to record a show, but you only brought a few clothes, and your suitcase was full of weapons that are on the verge of controlled knives. Is this reasonable?
Han Fei swallowed his saliva:
"Brother Xu, didn't you say before that you wouldn't..." do anything physical on the show?
He didn't finish, but Xu Qing'an understood.

Xu Qingan showed a simple and honest smile that is unique to civil engineering dogs. He did not show any ferocity at all and actually seemed very amiable:

"I've been working on construction sites for the past few years, and I'm used to carrying tools with me. Construction sites are a bit chaotic, and there are fights occasionally, so I carry some things for self-defense. These shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Han Fei was stunned by his reason.

This crappy reason...actually makes some damn sense!
I just don’t know whether Zhao Mingtao and Shu Yi believe it.
