Shattering the talent show script, sweeping the world film scene

Cai Fu closed his thermos: "Why do you think Director Song asked your scriptwriting team to write a growth storyline for Jiangxi Heng and Xie Xingyan?"

It was because I was watching the footage that night and felt these two had great potential, so I talked to Director Song about it several times...

These two have both trended on social media and had individual interviews. Now it all depends on their performance in the third round. If they perform well, Jiangxi Heng might just get lucky and advance to the next round.

As for Xie Xingyan, his ranking was already high, so he should only be able to move up one or two places.

Wang Ji's eyes flashed: "Brother Cai has good taste."

Cai Fu laughed and muttered, "If it weren't for Song Gou's good relationship with the producer, I would have been the one to produce this show... Hahaha, how's your writing team doing lately? Still busy?"

Wang Ji, seemingly ignoring the first sentence, said, "The plans for the upcoming outings have already been submitted to the chief director."

Tsai Fu: "It's been almost five days since we finished choosing the songs. It's time for an outing to balance work and rest. Where did we choose?"

Wang Ji has a calm and unassuming appearance, the kind of ordinary person you wouldn't notice in a crowd. His project proposals are just like his appearance, emphasizing calmness and thoroughness.

"My idea was to take everyone to the stadium to play basketball, but the other two screenwriters wanted to have the contestants cross the Dingyong River before it got cold."

Cai Fu's lips twitched: "Why did you choose this event?"

Wang Ji popped a piece of candy into his mouth and crunched it loudly.

Five years ago, Tomato Video introduced several idol dramas from neighboring countries, and also purchased the rights to the South Korean variety show "race", which was adapted into "Run Away Friends".

However, over the past five years, the show has not become a huge hit as everyone expected. Instead, it has received a lukewarm reception. Domestic celebrities are too concerned about personal relationships and can't handle the atmosphere, while pampered guests can't cope with the intensity of the tasks, turning the reality show into a mere spectacle.

Wang Ji even had a smile on his face when he made sarcastic remarks.

Five years ago, he was already working at the Tomato Video platform. At that time, he pointed out that "the scriptwriters can also create innovative game projects that foreign variety shows can do." The problem was not with the scriptwriters, but with the MCs and guests.

As it turns out, even if you buy the rights to a hugely popular East Asian film and simply copy it, it still won't work.

"Speaking of which, the best season of 'Run Away Friends' was the first one. Although the MCs and guests weren't very familiar with the variety show format at the time, they were still willing to take risks and go all out..."

There are always insightful people at the top who see the problem, so they require all variety shows on the platform to align with this goal. Director Song, having received this hint from above, also leaned towards the suggestion of the two screenwriters.

Wang Ji quietly recounted the entire story.

Cai Fu clicked his tongue: "No matter how many dangers are checked beforehand, outdoor activities can never be 100% safe. Has Director Song forgotten that we have a hidden bomb in our camp?"

Wang Ji and Cai Fu exchanged a glance. He swallowed the candy and said, "Who says otherwise?" It wasn't that he had forgotten, but he just felt that he was "destined" and nothing would happen to him.

After the editing team finished editing today's video, the two had also finished chatting and leisurely went back to their respective rooms.

Anyway, they really can't decide what Song Wei wants to do.

Soon after, Shi Zhongyu, following the instructions of the production team, gathered the contestants and announced, "In a couple of days, we'll head to the Dingyong River for outdoor activities!"

The contestants, who had been cooped up for over ten days, cheered: "Yay!"

Jiangxi Heng only remembered that there was a Yongding River in the original world, but he didn't remember that there was a Dingyong River in this world. He still followed his own plan, spending the day practicing with the three of them in the practice room and going to the gym to strengthen his physical training at night.

However, after that day, Xie Xingyan joined the gym in addition to him.

When the two are alone, unlike when they occasionally strike up a conversation or hold hands and lean on each other's shoulders in front of the camera, they silently and quietly complete their physical training.

The only sound coming from the gym is music from a Bluetooth speaker.

Thanks to this speaker, Jiangxi Heng has gained a deeper understanding of the music of this world. Even though he is tone-deaf and has no interest in music, he can still sense that the music of this world is vulgar, repetitive, colloquial, and unpleasant to listen to.

I listened to about ten songs, but only one or two were listenable.

While stretching, Xie Xingyan said, "Actually, there were good songs more than 20 years ago. Those classic songs are still being sung today. But starting ten years ago, the level of music in our country and even the world has been declining."

"Perhaps it's the fast pace of life and the restless society that prevents people from calmly studying good music. They can just randomly piece together a melody and it goes viral on short video platforms. If that's the case, why bother to settle down and study like an ascetic?"

Jiangxi Heng stood to the side, hydrating himself, and said, "You seem very resentful about this. Do you want to become a singer to change all of this?"

Xie Xingyan turned her head to look at him, her delicate eyebrows and eyes revealing helplessness: "Singers need hit songs, but I don't know any such excellent songwriters. Right now, I'm only thinking about working hard to debut as a group, and I'll think about things that far ahead later."

Jiangxi Heng picked up the empty bottle, tapped the equipment next to him, and then threw it into the trash can. His words were simple but encouraging: "You did the right thing. Be down-to-earth and look up at the stars."

Xie Xingyan suddenly recalled the night when she and the person in front of her looked up at the starry sky.

He looked at the other person: "And what about you?"

Just as Jiangxi Heng was about to speak, he felt a violent spasm in his leg. The intense pain felt like his bones were being broken apart inch by inch and then glued back together. His face turned pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

4399: [Host, the pill's side effects are kicking in!! Just bear with it, it'll be over in a minute!]

4399's reminder came a little too late; Jiangxi Heng's legs had already given way, and he half-knelt on the ground.

Xie Xingyan was startled and put her straightened leg down, quickly helping him up: "Jiang Xiheng, are you alright?"

Jiangxi Heng was also very resilient. Even when he was in so much pain that he couldn't stand up, he didn't utter a sound. Apart from his face being a little pale, he was no different from usual.

He lowered his head and stared blankly at the ground, his pupils unfocused.

Xie Xingyan was shocked. He knelt down and lowered his body, looking up at Jiang Xiheng's face. He saw that his eyes were bloodshot.

"I'll call a doctor for you."

One hand grasped Xie Xingyan's wrist, but due to Xie Xingyan's movement of getting up, it lost its strength and slid down to the back of the hand.

Xie Xingyan stopped.

After so many days of being paired up as a couple, the two of them are like the most perfect actors, smiling at each other, putting their arms around each other's shoulders, but never holding hands.

My palms are so hot...

Xie Xingyan: Could it be... that he has a fever?

"fine."

The hoarse voice stopped Xie Xingyan from moving.

Xie Xingyan turned to look at him: "Are you really alright? The production team arranged for a doctor."

Jiangxi Heng knelt on the ground with his back straight, his right hand still gripping the person in front of him.

He slowly raised his head, his pupils were pitch black, like burning lava, or like completely frozen icicles, his sharp features exuded coldness, but behind the coldness was a gentle warmth.

"I'm fine. It's just growing pains from my leg cramps during puberty."

The deep voice was so soothing that Xie Xingyan felt a shiver run down his spine. He immediately released his burning palm and secretly rubbed it against his back.

"Hehe, I'm glad you're okay. Oh, it was just growth and development... Oh? You're already so tall, and you're still growing?"

Realizing something was wrong, Xie Xingyan looked at the man who had stood up and was a hand's width taller than her.

He is currently 181cm tall. How tall is Jiangxi Heng?

*

Xingbao will grow taller.

In the novel's world, heights have increased dramatically; the final setting is that the bottom is 185cm tall and the top is 190cm tall.
