The swimming pool was built in the 1990s. At that time, it was the largest and most well-equipped swimming pool in the capital, and it had many water entertainment facilities. Therefore, it became a place of childhood memories for many people in the capital.
But now, the swimming pool was undoubtedly outdated. Last year, the state allocated funds to renovate it. The swimming pool and various facilities in the main pool were renovated and upgraded. Finally, it kept up with the trend.
Since five days ago, the main swimming pool had been closed to the public. A large number of equipment had been moved into the swimming pool, and a mobile "castle" had been built on the thermostatic swimming pool!
This would become the recording site for the audition of "The Smiling, Proud Martial World". All the contestants would challenge seven difficulties in the swimming pool, and then the best would be selected to enter the knockout stage.
Today, Lu Chen came to the site to inspect the progress of the project.
Because the creative ideas of this talent show were all provided by Lu Chen, and the rules were also made by him. In order to ensure the effect of the show, even the sketches of the equipment were drawn by him.
First of all, 500 qualified contestants would be selected from the online applicants, and then they would come to the capital for the water challenge. The challenges included flying across the pontoon bridge, thrilling at every step, brave against the current, overturning rivers and seas, jumping over the dragon gate, taking a sharp turn down, and climbing the peak. Each challenge was more difficult than the previous one.
After two days of installation and debugging, the equipment for the first four challenges were basically in place. Because the equipment for the last three challenges were relatively complicated, the manufacturers were still working overtime to make them. It would take at least another week.
In fact, this was already very difficult. This was because the water challenge was an original design, and there were no precedents to follow. All the equipment was specially ordered from the largest amusement equipment manufacturer in Beijing. Since it happened to be during the Chinese New Year, they had to pay a high price to ensure the progress.
Moreover, the installation and debugging were not smooth. If there were any problems, they had to be solved on the spot. They even had to reassemble or make accessories. Therefore, Lu Chen had to spend a lot of energy on it. Therefore, he had no time to pay attention to the boring rumors on the Internet.
When one reached the level of Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er, their every move might fall into the eyes of others. Paparazzi would follow them and secretly take pictures of their daily trips, adding to the entertainment news.
Unless it was malicious slander that affected the company's reputation, the company's public relations department would handle it appropriately. They would make statements and refute rumors as needed. It would not affect their work.
"Lu laoshi …"
A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes jogged over. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked carefully, "All the equipment has been tested. There are no more problems. Are we going to conduct a real person test now?"
"Alright …"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Manager Zhang, thank you for your hard work!"
This middle-aged man was the manager sent by the equipment provider to supervise the construction. He had a lot of experience in the industry and had supervised the installation of many land and water entertainment facilities.
However, the equipment set up on the swimming pool today was brand new. For Manager Zhang, it was a difficult challenge.
Under normal circumstances, not many companies would accept orders before the New Year, and rush the work before the New Year and install the equipment during the New Year. However, the two brands of Lu Chen and Central TV were too loud, so the equipment providers could not refuse this cooperation at all. They did their best to ensure the smooth completion of the contract.
Manager Zhang was a little flattered and quickly said, "It's not hard, it's not hard …"
He had not come into contact with any celebrity artists. To him, Lu Chen was undoubtedly a high and unattainable figure. He could only see him on TV and the Internet, so he could not help but feel anxious.
If he offended Lu Chen and made Lu Chen unhappy, the company's boss would probably skin him alive!
When he came over this morning, the boss had pulled his ear and warned him repeatedly.
He didn't expect Lu Chen to be so approachable, without any airs of a Big star, which made him feel relieved.
Manager Zhang was still thinking whether it was appropriate to ask Lu Chen for an autograph later. His daughter was a fan of Lu Chen. Knowing that her father had a working relationship with Lu Chen, she was so excited as if she had won a five million prize.
Lu Chen didn't know the entanglement in his heart at this moment and nodded to Wan Yong, who had been following him.
Wan Yong was originally the coach of the Borui Club. Later, he and a group of people from the Borui Club were taken over by Lu Chen from Li Mushi and formed the Lu Family Squad, which was now quite famous in Hong Kong.
The Lu Family Squad participated in the filming of the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" and the TV series "You from the Star" and became an important force under Chenfei Media. However, for Lu Chen's full-scale martial arts IP plan, the current number of Lu Family Squad members was far from enough.
That's why there was the "Eight Storms Meet in the Capital". Lu Chen wanted to use this talent show to select excellent talents to expand the Lu Family Squad, so that he could show off his skills!
The idea of the water challenge came from the memory of the dream world. It combined the characteristics of domestic and foreign programs in the dream world. Although the facilities could not be perfect due to time constraints, it was no problem as a tool to measure the ability of the contestants.
The seven levels had corresponding requirements for the contestants' physical fitness and responsiveness. It was easy for ordinary people to pass one or two levels, but it was not easy to pass three or four levels. The later levels were even more difficult.
If they could break through all the levels, they would definitely be excellent talents worthy of training.
After receiving Lu Chen's instructions, Wan Yong immediately called out, "Li Xiaoguang, you go up and try first!"
"Okay!"
A young man standing on the edge of the pool answered and quickly ran to the starting platform to move his hands and feet to warm up.
He was also a member of the Lu Family Squad and came to the swimming pool as a tester today.
Beep ~
As the whistle sounded, all the equipment that had been set up and installed was activated at the same time. The movable parts, including soft leather, moved up and down or began to rotate under the drive of the safety and waterproof motor, and a stream of water sprayed out.
After warming up, Li Xiaoguang took a step and jumped onto the air cushion floating on the water. He strode along the pontoon bridge composed of short and narrow air cushions, and in the blink of an eye, he broke through the first level.
His neat performance won bursts of applause from the onlookers at the scene!
