In fact, for the regular cast members, it was easier for them to get a chance to be in the spotlight through this method of broadcasting.
If the program were to be recorded before broadcasting, they had no say in whose part would be included and whose would be cut out of the final product. It was entirely up to the production team to determine how much you would appear in the show, even if you’re an extremely popular celebrity.
Such problems didn’t exist in a live broadcast. As long as the guests wanted to, and as long as they put in enough effort, they’d be able to turn from a side character into the main character.
Staff from the director team signaled the film crew behind them with a hand gesture.
They’d made the necessary changes to the filming equipment beforehand.
The staff members escorted the guests down the train, the videographer followed suit with the camera on his shoulder.
From this moment onwards, every word they say and every move they make would be magnified through the camera lens.
They got off the train, one after another, and stopped in front of an endless stretch of grass. Large greenhouses were erected all over the place, and from far, they looked a lot like little white dots.
What an unpretentious place!
As far as they could see, there weren’t any villas, castles, resorts, or two-story buildings...
Yang Yiru was stunned. “Is this supposed to be an episode of The Perfectly Wedded Pair, or is it an episode of the X-change*?”
*the X-change (变形记) is a reality show that premiered on Hunan Satellite TV in 2006 and ended in 2015. Selected participants exchange lives for 7 days, switching between the countryside and urban life. The participants are filmed through school, leisure time, and interactions with the new family as they adjust to their surroundings.
The team of directors laughed. “There’s a saying that adversity brings out our true feelings. The relationship between a husband and wife should be able to withstand such trials, and thus, would shine even brighter while being filmed… ”
“...” Everyone reacted.
That person was full of nonsense. Couldn’t he just have said that they wanted to find something for the guests to do, and to curate something people would like to watch in a variety show?
The program team led them to an empty plot of land. When they arrived, there was a car parked there. The car door opened, and a young man dressed in a white baseball jacket got out of the car.
His hair was dyed golden, an ear of his pierced, and you could even catch a glimpse of a tattoo near his neck from beneath his clothing.
His features weren’t feminine, so the light makeup on his face made him look particularly handsome.
From his experience, Bai Qi could instantly tell that this person was an idol!
“This is…?” everyone froze and asked.
The team of directors seemed to be a little embarrassed. “Mn… he’s a special guest for this episode. He’ll be introduced as Yang Yiru’s friend.”
Yang Yiru: ?
The heck, my friend you say? she thought.
Bai Qi took a glance around and noted the reactions of each individual, and from that, he could tell what type of person this boy was.
The first episode had very good viewership, so… One of the investors must have shoved someone they wanted to support into the show to allow them to appear on camera. Hopefully, he’ll be able to pick up a bit of the show’s popularity, isn’t that right?
It’ll likely happen again during the following episodes.
The boy acted as if he hadn’t noticed the odd atmosphere. He smiled and introduced himself, “I’m Cheng Jin. I just debuted as the Centre of Chasing the Light Boys 2020.”
Bai Qi nodded.
No wonder he didn’t find him familiar… He had been entirely devoted to preparing for his exams this year, so he hadn’t watched the latest survival reality show with Mu Dong’s younger sister.
Mu Dong’s sister even said that this year’s show didn’t receive much attention. Maybe it was because the craze over such shows was over.
Zhou Yanfeng was the first to greet the boy, followed by Xu Yi and Fu Chunying…
On the other hand, Qiu Sichuan and Yang Yiru didn’t say anything.
Wu Jun didn’t even bother to look at that person.
Well, Wu Jun was a rising hotshot in the business industry, so he kinda had the right to do so anyway.
The director took a deep breath. He knew that some guests were unhappy about this arrangement.
That person was forcibly added to the show, the guests didn’t know much…. WAITTT, they actually had no idea if he was interesting, or even if he had any dark pasts! So, at least for now, it was fair to say that they couldn’t say much about whether they were unhappy or not.
At this moment, most of them finally understood why the program team changed the show to a live broadcast; the program team must be planning to invite more special guests in the future.
However, they themselves really couldn’t afford to have any slip-ups during the live broadcast!
A grin appeared on the director’s face again. “Let’s play a game.”
When they heard this, everyone turned to look at Bai Qi.
Cheng Jin: ?
He made an invisible frown as he sized Bai Qi up. It was quite clear that he hadn’t paid much attention to the first episode before he came here; he didn’t know much about Bai Qi at all.
“Aren’t we going to introduce ourselves first?” Cheng Jin said. Obviously, he was hoping that the program team would go along with his plans.
But the program didn’t care about his cue. Instead, they started going through the rules of the game.
