After filming in the kitchen, there was still quite a bit of time left. Kevin Lin stayed to film the people who had gone out at night.
Those who returned at night were mostly garrison troops, not regular conscripts. Many of the more difficult tasks were handled by garrison troops, such as hunting, surveying, and so on.
It wasn't just the conscripts who wanted to show their faces. The garrison troops wanted to show their faces even more. They might not be able to return for years, so they missed their families.
However, only soldiers who were not on classified missions could be shown on the live broadcast.
The batch of people that came back that night also brought back some ingredients. There were animals and plants, but there were also quite a few that stopped Kevin Lin in his tracks. During the filming, he stood far away and only controlled the camera to follow Fang Zhao. Because Fang Zhao had gone over to help move the goods, his supper was also shared with the garrison troops that had returned to the base.
Unlike the meal in the cafeteria in the afternoon, when this bunch of people ate their supper, the camera was broadcasted live in high definition.
After setting up the camera, Kevin Lin found an excuse to slip away, not daring to appear in front of the camera.
On the same day, channel S5 was broadcasting live on its first day at the base. The situation on the other four channels was completely different from channel S5.
On his first day at the base, channel S1's famous host, Li Xiaoxiao, brought along items he had donated, as well as supplies donated by his fans and business partners, to visit the garrison troops and express his condolences to the young conscripts.
Many of the local garrison troops and the young conscripts who had been there for half a year had grown up watching Li Xiaoxiao's shows and were very familiar with this celebrity. They were very excited to shake hands with Li Xiaoxiao up close.
Li Xiaoxiao's humorous words and actions made the base's atmosphere very cheerful. The usually quiet and depressing base suddenly became lively.
Although the food in the cafeteria was not very nice, and there were many unsettling scenes in the kitchen, they had been subdued and censored. Coupled with Li Xiaoxiao's humorous style and ability to stir up the atmosphere, there were moving scenes that told viewers how difficult it was for the garrison troops and the hard work of the young conscripts. There were also scenes that made people laugh out loud.
As the oldest and most experienced of the five celebrities, Li Xiaoxiao was very good at controlling the scene.
Li Xiaoxiao's fans and online viewers were also moved by the atmosphere. Donations and supplies were donated, and there were even investors who expressed interest in collaborating with the base.
S1's live broadcast was undoubtedly a success.
On channel S2, the handsome and elegant Old Era nobleman, Fritz, took the artistic route. He used a bit of melancholy and reasonable exaggeration to make the audience weep.
Fritz made a guest appearance as a host. In addition to talking to those who served, he also interviewed the soldiers stationed at the base who had stories to tell.
As a singer and actor who had been in the industry for many years, Fritz knew how to move people's emotions. He even immersed himself in it and became a part of them, empathizing with them and showing strong emotions. When he looked at the screen with his melancholy eyes, who knew how many fans were moved.
Fan: Isn't it just money? We will donate!
From the audience's reaction and statistics, S2 was also very successful.
On S3, as an actor in a mainstream commercial film, Andre had an equally large number of fans. However, during the training camp at the military base, he had been able to spar with the young instructors with the punches and kicks he had learned. Here at the base, however, he would not do so.
The soldiers stationed at the base were different from the young instructors at the base. They were soldiers who had experienced countless battlefields, so they had a different aura. Andre wouldn't look for trouble during the live broadcast.
Andre, who had started out as an actor, gathered with the young conscripts to talk about life and sing military songs with the soldiers.
Needless to say, this commercial blockbuster actor's voice was really good. He sang very well and gave the fans quite a surprise.
S3's overall figures couldn't compare to S1 and S2, but it was still profitable, so it was a success.
On channel S4, Tianhao, born of Tongzhou's wealthy Woo family, had a natural star aura and the ability to show off. When he arrived at his destination, he challenged a few of the more outstanding soldiers in the base.
Everyone in the New Era knew that Founding Era General Woo Tong knew martial arts. The Woo family members were all strong and not just for show. The well-developed core members were all practical fighters. Tianhao might like to show off, but that was only because he had the ability.
Tianhao challenged three elite soldiers in a row. The young conscripts cheered and supported Tianhao, while the soldiers in the base supported the soldiers. The online audience's blood was boiling with excitement as they watched. They kept clapping and cheering, sending wave after wave of rewards.
The competition enlivened the atmosphere and won the approval of the conscripts and the soldiers in the base. It attracted the audience, and Tianhao's goal of showing off was achieved.
After the competition, the base's higher-ups held an impromptu welcome party. The next day, the soldiers who didn't have any missions were allowed to drink a little wine. The wine was brought by Tianhao, and many of the drinkers got a kick out of it.
One of the officers even patted Tianhao on the shoulder and said he would teach him how to drive the base's MCV.
The statistics of channel S4 did not lose out to channel S1 or S2. What's more, Tianhao had the support of Tongzhou's Woo family.
In comparison, channel S5's program team was the most unique. It had a completely documentary style. It didn't look like an entertainment program, but more like a true documentary. What the other four channels used was subtlety or mosaic, but here, channel S5 used it! Clear! Nothing! Yards!
Those with the mindset of watching variety shows wouldn't continue to pay attention to channel S5. Among those who paid attention to channel S5, apart from people in the government, there were also many parents.
Yes, channel S5's entertainment value was far from the other four channels, but it was real enough!
For those parents who had children serving in the military, they wanted to know the real life of their children while they were in the military. Although they were also experienced, times were changing. Who knew what changes had occurred in the military after so many years?
Even parents with children serving on other planets couldn't help but pay attention to channel S5, because only here could they find the truest side of the harsh conditions of the military bases. There was nothing fake or fake. It was as if the scenes were happening right in front of their eyes.
For the first four channels, regardless of what was being mentioned or who was being interviewed, it all revolved around the four stars. Those four stars were the center of the live broadcast. But on channel S5, Fang Zhao's presence was much smaller. Most of the footage was given to the conscripts and the soldiers stationed on this planet.
However, the overly realistic and unembellished scenes were still too much for many viewers.
Channel S5 had a lot of good reviews, but it also had a lot of complaints.
Many people complained that some of the scenes on channel S5 were not suitable for young people to watch and would affect the healthy growth of young people.
Of course, the scenes of food preparation and meals were too much for adults to watch, let alone young people. In the future, more scenes would be filmed. If they were all uncensored live broadcasts, they would surely complain to the end.
Regarding this, Project Starlight's higher-ups called for an impromptu online conference. They would absolutely not stop broadcasting channel S5, nor would they censor it. In the future, they would let Kevin Lin bring Fang Zhao along to film more realistic scenes. They might even record some bloody and violent scenes. But as long as they could present the truest side of planet Baiji's development, as long as some people could see the current state of the base's development, Project Starlight would be complete.
The Stability Faction had reduced the military expenditure for further exploration and increased the investment in the construction of the existing bases, but it was not for the sake of entertainment. The stability faction wanted to tell people: Look, the development of these bases is already so difficult. What's the point of exploring? So what if more habitable planets are discovered? Can we build bases immediately or migrate immediately? Those who spend their days discovering new mineral elements and carrying out a new round of energy reform should wake up and face reality! Are new minerals that easy to discover?!
The stability faction wanted to garner more support from the public, and Project Starlight could help them achieve this goal.
In order to preserve channel S5, Project Starlight's higher-ups had discussed and decided to implement a grading system that would be suitable for viewing the five channels.
However, what the higher-ups were thinking was not something the bystanders would dig too deeply into. Especially enthusiastic netizens who followed Project Starlight's five live broadcast channels. After watching the first day's live broadcast by the five program team stars, they summarized the style of the five channels:
Channel S1: Hello comrades, you have worked hard!
Channel S2: How can the years be peaceful? Someone is carrying a heavy load forward.
Channel S3: As long as everyone gives a little love, development on a foreign planet will not be a problem. Migration is just around the corner!
Channel S4: How are the two bros? Let's have a drink and spar!
