The investor's departure was as sudden as her arrival, but after her brief appearance, there was a playful and smiling guy in the conference room.
Hua Jianchen observed the environment of the conference room, then chose a seat not far from Sutina and sat down. He greeted the photographers on both sides, "Hello to the one on the left and hello to the one on the right."
The photographers on both sides looked at him either coldly or perfunctorily.
At this time, Jiang Lu also returned to the main seat. It can be seen that the arrival of the investors had a big impact on her. She took a deep breath, calmed down her emotions, reopened the projection, and pointed at Central America. The projection said: "In recent years, rumors about cable routing have become more and more intense, and there are countless rumors and false propaganda on the Internet. Therefore, in the new program challenge, you will go deep into the hinterland of Central America and pretend to be smuggled into the United States. As route travelers, you will travel through 6,000 kilometers of Central America, from Ecuador to the US-Mexico border. During this period, each of you will have a budget of US$10,000."
Following Jiang Lu's words, everyone present gradually turned pale.
The US-Mexico border and Central America are terms that are associated with danger almost immediately upon hearing them. What’s even more terrifying is the mileage, which is 6,000 kilometers. This number of kilometers has exceeded the kilometers of any previous trip, and is even more than the total number of miles in the entire first quarter.
"Where's the means of transportation?" Sutina asked with a frown.
"Smugglers don't have transportation, so they take whatever is available."
Jiang Lu replied.
The words of the chief planner put a heavy weight on the shoulders of everyone in the conference room. Although almost no challenge has been easy since the beginning of the program, the difficulty of the current task still exceeded everyone's expectations.
But just when everyone was worried, Hua Jianchen, who had just joined the team, clapped his hands and said, "It's amazing. Is our show always so exciting?"
Everyone glanced at him, but no one said anything.
Hua Jianchen was shocked and asked again: "Um, Planner Jiang, can I read the script?"
"script?"
Jiang Lu frowned, "What script?"
"It's just the plot arrangement. When will we encounter anything along the way, what difficulties will there be, what challenges will there be." Hua Jianchen said matter-of-factly.
Jiang Lu was stunned for a while and said, "We don't have a script."
"What?" Hua Jianchen's face paled obviously. He looked at the director Baoli on the side and asked again: "Don't you have a script?"
Paulie looked at the map of Central America, looking as if he was in a daze.
"This... is too outrageous. Did those things really happen? Seoul, Indonesia, I mean, there was a script for the treasure hunt." Hua Jianchen asked uncertainly.
"It's not too late to quit now." Huo Yu folded his arms and said calmly.
Seeing Huo Yu's cold face, Hua Jianchen immediately smiled and said: "How can that be done? I finally have the opportunity to observe the extraordinary journey up close. Don't worry, Teacher Huo, even if I climb, I will climb to the end." Go."
Huo Yu curled his lips and shook his head.
"Where's the reward?" Song Wenbin suddenly asked: "Last time it was Musk, who are we going to find this time?"
Unlike Hua Jianchen, when Song Wenbin asked questions, everyone pricked up their ears. Indeed, according to the urine of the second season, they had to rush to one person at the end of each episode, and every episode The celebrity status of the guests will be higher than before, but the celebrity status of the last episode has already been to Musk. No one knows who else the program team can find with a higher celebrity status.
Song Wenbin's words made Jiang Lu smile proudly and said: "Before June, if you can successfully complete the task, you will have the opportunity to go to Texas and listen to the speech of the world's number one internet celebrity. Of course, if you can really After completing this feat, I think even he will receive you personally."
no name.
But everyone knew who Jiang Lu was talking about.
They looked at each other with shocked looks on their faces.
The world’s number one Internet celebrity is still in Texas. Such a gimmick is enough to attract the attention of all viewers.
Song Wenbin's brain was spinning rapidly. Ten thousand dollars, six thousand kilometers, no transportation, and still in Central America. This difficulty has exceeded his imagination. But if he can really film this show, he can still see the world. The number one Internet celebrity, then the ratings of this show will definitely reach an astonishing level. And his reputation, his achievements, his celebrity status, and his number of fans will increase at an alarming rate.
There was no doubt that he was moved.
"I refuse." Huo Yu said suddenly.
Song Wenbin was startled and turned to look at Huo Yu.
"The U.S.-Mexico border is really too dangerous. Sutina has just become a big star, and her traffic is amazing. Any program produced at this time will be watched by many people, but if the program is placed in such a dangerous situation, it will If fans are disgusted, this will put a lot of pressure on the show." Huo Yu said without expression.
"this…"
Jiang Lu was a little embarrassed, but what Huo Yu said made sense. No matter who these three people were, they were no longer unknown newcomers. Especially Sutina, as the only young woman who went into space, she was no longer the same. Putting her in such a dangerous place will definitely arouse the anger of a huge number of fans.
Song Wenbin pursed his lips. To be honest, he really agreed with Huo Yu's analysis. Central America was very dangerous for a beauty like Su Tina.
"I'd like to go."
Once again, Sutina's speech shocked everyone, and Song Wenbin also hissed secretly.
Huo Yu suddenly became angry, knocked on the table, and said: "Sutina, have you forgotten what happened in India? Let me tell you, there is no gun control over there. If something really happens, I can't protect you!" !”
Facing Huo Yu's anger and dissatisfaction, Su Tina remained expressionless and said: "This is what I eat, and this show is very hard-core from beginning to end. If it becomes no longer because of fame and fans, If it is hardcore, it will lose the meaning of existence and become very boring!”
"Boring is more important than life. That's Central America! Where drug lords and gangs gather!" Huo Yu emphasized again.
Sutina curled her lips: "It was you who went to a desert island and fell into the sea and met a shark, and it was you who was besieged by hundreds of people in Seoul. So it can be seen that danger has nothing to do with where you go. Since there are people in Central America, I can do it too go."
Huo Yu was stunned and his eyes widened.
"I want to go." Su Tina looked at Jiang Lu and said.
Seeing Sutina supporting him, Jiang Lu was happy and said: "That's great, Sutina, it's really great, you have really grown a lot..."
"Can you afford it if something happens!?"
Huo Yu interrupted Jiang Lu loudly, then she looked at Song Wenbin fiercely and ordered loudly: "Speak!"
"Ah??" Song Wenbin, who was about to watch the woman fight, didn't understand why the finger was pointed at him. He said blankly: "What, what are you talking about?"
"Go or not go, show of hands!" she said quickly.
Song Wenbin recalled that when there was a dispute on the show in the past, they would decide the next action by a show of hands. Once he sided with Huo Yu, it would be three to two. No matter how much Su Tina wanted to go, All must agree with them. Likewise, if he decides to go, Huo Yu must agree.
For a moment, the focus of the whole audience was on Song Wenbin. Song Wenbin looked at Su Tina's indifferent expression and then looked at Huo Yu's threatening eyes, feeling a little depressed.
"like…"
"If you fucking dare to say the word "Ru Qu", I will kill you."
Huo Yu said.
Everyone in the tight conference room lowered their heads and let out chuckles.
Song Wenbin sweated and said with difficulty: "If it is now, I suggest... we should find some small projects to do in China. After all, crossing Central America is not a small project. It is still a sneak crossing. We have just experienced an explosive increase in the space project. , we should stabilize it a little at this time, water and water videos and so on, and wait until our popularity subsides, and then properly launch a blockbuster program, how about it?"
Song Wenbin struggled to find the right words, struggling to find a balance between Huo Yu and Su Tina.
After listening to this, Sutina's already indifferent expression became as cold as ice. She bit her lower lip and stared at Song Wenbin, her eyes a little red.
Huo Yu raised his eyebrows and asked, "So, you agree not to go."
"Yes... for now... yes."
Song Wenbin replied.
Seeing that Song Wenbin spoke and agreed with her point of view, Huo Yu's tense expression relaxed slightly. She grabbed her hair, which was not long, leaned on the chair with her legs crossed, looked at Jiang Lu and said: "Three to two, Central America is indeed It’s too dangerous, I think it’s better to try another challenge.”
"This..." Chief planner Jiang Lu was a little embarrassed. Two of the three members of the show expressed resistance. It was really difficult for her to handle it. The combined number of fans of these people in China alone has exceeded 10 million. , especially in foreign countries, their opinions are no longer what they used to be...
"This...can I say a few words?"
There was a sudden sound of testing on the table.
Everyone followed the voice and discovered that it was Hua Jianchen who had just joined the show. He raised his hand and said, "Well...although I just joined, I still agree with Sutina's opinion..."
"Is it your turn to speak!?"
Huo Yu was caught off guard and became furious.
Even though he was sitting diagonally away from Huo Yu, Song Wenbin couldn't help but shrink when he heard Huo Yu's voice. Good guy, this is really merciless. You must know that he is determined not to lose such a temper with a person in the same industry just after meeting him. It is so offending.
The photographers on both sides of Huo Yu were even more afraid. If they were traveling, this kind of rage would already mean that someone fell down. They quickly pushed the ashtray in front of them away, fearing that Huo Yu would pick up the ashtray and smash Hua Jianchen to death.
Hua Jianchen shrank his head and did not dare to speak.
"Kekeke~"
Su Tina was sitting next to her, but she played with the bow on her neck and giggled, "How can you not let people talk? Huo Yu, I am the fourth person appointed by the investor. I am the fuse of Teacher Wei. You have to go against the investor." ?"
After being reprimanded by Sutina, Huo Yu leaned on the chair like a big man and shook his legs: "Okay! You are very capable."
"Teacher Huo taught well." Sutina flattered her nonchalantly. Then she looked at Hua Jianchen, turned her chair left and right and said, "Tell me, why do you want to go?"
"I think this show has been challenging all kinds of limits from the beginning. Compared with ordinary variety shows, I think this is more like an extreme sport. The risks of extreme sports are definitely high, but the benefits are definitely relatively large. Although crossing Central America is dangerous, it is not without success precedents, and compared to places like the Arctic, the successful ones are mostly poor people with little training, otherwise it would be impossible to attract so many people to sneak across. In fact, according to I know that in their place, this matter is even a complete industry, so I think the risks of this project are still within the controllable range.”
After a pause, Hua Jianchen laughed again: "I think this kind of place is like northern Myanmar. It sounds very dangerous but in fact it is not that dangerous. At least it is safer than the Arctic space and deep sea. It is used as a gimmick to hoist The fear of the audience could not be better. Moreover, it has been several months since the last broadcast of the program, and the popularity has already dropped a lot. This will be just a shot in the arm to maintain the popularity of the fans, so that they can survive the cruel Survive the domestic entertainment competition!”
Song Wenbin couldn't help but smile after hearing what this guy said. Well, as expected, no one who can stand in this society for many years is a fuel-efficient lamp. After saying this, I am afraid that Huo Yu's proposal will fail. .
Sure enough, after Hua Jianchen finished speaking, the photographers and planners beside him also started whispering among themselves.
"Look, what I said makes sense."
Sutina looked at Huo Yu and said with a smile: "Two to two, it's a tie."
"That's just flat."
Huo Yu squeezed out from between his teeth.
She was not angry that Sutina was going against her, she was angry that Sutina actually teamed up with a newcomer who had done nothing, which was undoubtedly a betrayal for the originally solid trio.
But Su Tina didn't take it seriously. She glanced coldly at Song Wenbin, who was bowing his head and said nothing, and said: "We are tied two to two, but coupled with the planning opinions, the majority of the votes from the program team agreed to go."
"That's right." Jiang Lu nodded happily.
…
…
Originally, Song Wenbin thought that after the meeting, Jiang Lu would put them on a plane to Central America, but that was not the case. After the brief meeting, the program team left a month for everyone to prepare visas and passports, and search Check out the strategy and be prepared.
Sure enough, the treatment was different after the status was improved. Even Jiang Lu's attitude towards them became respectful, but the attitude of his colleagues was another matter.
After the meeting, Song Wenbin stood in the smoking area at the elevator entrance, smoking a cigarette, waiting for the elevator, thinking about the things to be arranged this month. At this time, Hua Jianchen quickly caught up with him and reached out to him at the elevator entrance. .
Song Wenbin smiled and shook hands with him while holding a cigarette.
"Teacher Yan, I respect you very much. You are my biggest idol in domestic entertainment." Hua Jianchen held Song Wenbin's hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm just here to assist you, not to challenge you."
"It's all for work, just let's work together."
Song Wenbin held Hua Jianchen's hand and said humbly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure flashed past, knocking Song Wenbin down like a whirlwind.
It turned out to be Huo Yu. She knocked Song Wenbin away from the elevator entrance, stood alone in the elevator, and pressed the button to the underground garage at the speed of light, not wanting to wait for him at all.
After the elevator left, Sutina also walked out with her head held high, proudly pressed the elevator next door without looking away, and then walked in with a group of photographers.
Ding dong.
Accompanied by a pleasant elevator bell.
The two elevators descended simultaneously, and neither colleague spoke to Song Wenbin from the beginning to the end.
Hua Jianchen looked at this posture, rolled his eyes a few times, showed an implicit smile, and said, "I thought you had a good relationship in private."
"It's okay, they're all colleagues."
Song Wenbin said casually: "By the way, how is your English?"
"It's just so so, it works." Hua Jianchen said.
"Teach me on the way." Song Wenbin said.
