The academic discussion did not go too far.
Then, they prepared to land on the island. There were also some intentional accidents.
For example, something was pulled down, causing Lain to fly into a rage.
Another example would be some non-standard operations. While a certain someone was cursing out loud, he would also teach them about standard operations.
The first episode of The Lost Civilization stopped there.
There were also some scenes that weren't reshoots. They were completely fake.
Chen Zhao had overestimated Falui Lysander's professional ethics.
In order to be mysterious, they purposely created some abnormal scenes.
For example, when their ship was about to set sail, the engine suddenly caught fire and they quickly evacuated the ship.
In fact, it was very smooth when they set sail. They didn't encounter any problems during the voyage … except for the native guide.
Moreover, they had also taken a few more photos, including finding the native guide again.
Anyway, it was all about being mysterious to the extreme.
When they reached Gongdu Island, the earthquake was supposed to happen an hour after they landed.
But after some reshoots and editing, they brought the earthquake forward.
When they landed on the island, there was an earthquake immediately.
Then, there were startled birds and abnormal winds.
Then, there was the native guide's warning to them. It was a warning from God.
Then, there was the scene where he was scared away.
The first episode ended there.
One had to admit that if Falui Lysander went to Hollywood to film a horror movie, the effect would definitely be good.
At least, he was an expert in creating an atmosphere.
It left enough suspense, and at the same time, created a strange and bizarre atmosphere.
Finally, after the subtitles, there was another sentence.
This show is completely real. There is no fiction.
This sentence was amazing.
The audience would just treat it as a story.
In fact, some shows would pretend to be exploration shows.
Then, they would arrange some supernatural scenes to attract attention.
However, that kind of specious supernatural experience was obviously incomparable to "Lost Civilization".
Let's not talk about the reshoots first.
Just the actual earthquake, the flock of startled birds, and the abnormal wind direction that came without warning gave the audience a different feeling.
"Mr. Chen, congratulations. This is unbelievable. Do you know what our ratings are tonight?"
Scully called, and his tone was filled with surprise.
At the moment, Chen Zhao had just finished watching The Lost Civilization.
However, he didn't look too excited.
To be precise, he wasn't very happy at the moment.
Because Falui Lysander didn't do as he asked.
Chen Zhao wanted the first episode to have content that clearly pointed to ancient Greek civilization.
However, Chen Zhao didn't see anything about this from the beginning to the end.
Did Chen Zhao expect those gangsters to be familiar with ancient Greek culture and guess that it was ancient Greece from the bits and pieces of the show?
Chen Zhao didn't care about the ratings. He didn't care about profits or losses.
He didn't even care what else was going to happen next.
He wouldn't care even if the show stopped after these three episodes.
Chen Zhao had invested in Lost Civilization.
The goal was to lure Milo Tanzik Williams and his men out.
In the end, Milo Tanzik Williams was not lured out.
The ratings were surprisingly high.
"The highest number of views reached 5.8 million. At the same time, it has a 75% market share in California."
Scully didn't hear Chen Zhao's reply. He thought that Chen Zhao was feeling the same way he was.
Therefore, he said to himself, "Now, there are already two TV stations that are part of the top five that hope to import 'Lost Civilization'. Mr. Chen, do you need me to talk to them? I'm very experienced in this field. "
"No need." Chen Zhao's face darkened. "I'm tired. That's all."
With that, Chen Zhao hung up.
On the other end, Scully was stunned.
What happened?
Why did he feel that the Chinese guy was unhappy?
Did he say something wrong?
Scully thought back, but he really didn't know how he'd offended Chen Zhao.
When he called again, he realized that the line was busy.
After hanging up, Chen Zhao called Faluy Lysander.
"Mr. Lysander."
"Mr. Chen, hello. Did you watch tonight's show? What do you think? "
"I'm very dissatisfied," Chen Zhao said directly. "You don't seem to have listened to me."
"What? Mr. Chen, I don't understand. "
"I've said it before. The first episode has to be about ancient Greece."
"I've already laid the groundwork with some clues that point to this content, but time is limited. I can't directly tell the audience about ancient Greece. This requires a gradual progression of the plot, and I feel that this kind of arrangement will leave more suspense and attract more viewers."
"I don't want to attract more viewers. I don't need this show to make money. I have my own requirements. If you can't meet them, then you're not qualified."
Chen Zhao's words were extremely harsh. He rarely got so angry at someone.
"You better understand one thing. I'm the boss. I don't want this to happen again."
Thankfully, Chen Zhao was still able to control himself. After a few complaints, he softened his tone. "Is the second episode's post-production done?"
"Uh …"
Falui Lysander didn't understand why Chen Zhao was so angry.
Judging from the effect of today's broadcast, it should be very good.
Scully had also called him earlier.
He didn't understand why Chen Zhao was so unhappy.
Was it because he didn't absolutely follow Chen Zhao's requirements?
To him, Chen Zhao's requirements were very unreasonable and unprofessional.
The content about ancient Greece was a gimmick.
If it was set up properly, it could cause a sensation.
It could even cause an academic sensation in the archeology world.
Then, it could cause a craze for the general audience from the academic world.
Then, the show would be pushed to the peak.
Not like what Chen Zhao had requested.
Just bring out the content about ancient Greece directly.
This would reduce the suspense and fun by half.
"Let me ask you," Chen Zhao asked in a low voice. "Is the second episode's content done?"
"Yes." Falui Lysander didn't understand Chen Zhao's current state at all.
When he'd first met Chen Zhao, he'd thought that Chen Zhao was easy to get along with and had a good temper.
Why did it suddenly erupt at this time?
"Give me the second episode's content first. I need to confirm it."
