Everyone was busy celebrating the Lunar New Year, but the production team of The Limit Challenge was destined not to leave their posts this Lunar New Year!
Yun Yangfeng had already reached an agreement with Magic City TV Station that the first episode of The Limit Challenge would be broadcasted on the 26th of February!
Before that, the first episode of the show had to be broadcasted internally in the station and shown to the invited sponsors at the same time to strive for more sponsorship fees.
Therefore, they had to start filming and producing the first episode of the show at least after they returned from the Lunar New Year, which was the beginning of February! The time left for the production team was already very tight. Even during such an important holiday like the Lunar New Year, they could only apologize to their families.
Yan Tao and Ren Lian went their separate ways. Yan Tao continued to recruit talents for the production team according to Yang Yi's request, recruiting talents for subtitles and music that were not available before. At the same time, he was preparing the shooting location, personnel, and resources for the first episode of the show. Ren Lian and Ren Lian went to invite the remaining three celebrity actors.
The first to be invited was Yuan Yan. Coincidentally, he lived in Magic City. Through the introduction of people in the industry, Ren Lian and Yun Yangfeng rushed to Yuan Yan's house.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Yan, who was addressed as Teacher Yuan by many young actors, did not put on any airs. He chatted with Yun Yangfeng and Yun Yangfeng happily, but his eyes that were squinted into slits when he smiled were shining with the light of wisdom.
The wisdom here did not refer to how knowledgeable Yuan Yan was or how many profound phrases and allusions he used in his conversation. It was referring to the wisdom of life, as if he could see through people's hearts!
Yuan Yan did not have the habit of speaking in a gentle manner. Of course, his voice was soothing. Sitting opposite him, Ren Lian and Yun Yangfeng still felt that they were on equal footing despite the significant difference in status. However, Yuan Yan was able to hit the nail on the head with every word he spoke. His words were sharp and incisive, raising the spirits of others and not daring to underestimate him.
It was no wonder that he was a teacher, an actor, and a director. Yuan Yan had directed his own movie before. Although this was not rare, many actors had been directors before.
"I remember that some time ago, on the 10th? Xiangnan TV Station's High Ability Challenge even said that The Limit Challenge is suspected of plagiarizing their show. "Yuan Yan said with a smile after listening to Yun Yangfeng and Ren Ming's intentions.
However, before Yun Yang could explain himself, Yuan Yan waved his hand and said with a smile, "I didn't really believe this report back then. With the copyright organization keeping an eye on it, you shouldn't have copied the High Ability Challenge's model and thought that this might be a publicity stunt from Starlight! And today, with your arrival, I can basically confirm that your 'Limit Challenge' is different from the 'High Energy Challenge'! "
Why did he say that?
Because The Limit Challenge had invited Yuan Yan to be their celebrity host!
If it was something like the High Energy Challenge, would there be a need to invite Yuan Yan? Wasn't this like using a butcher's knife to kill a pig?
When Yuan Yan spoke, he also showed a kind of pride that came from his bones. However, it was not arrogance, but a confidence that was easier to accept!
"It is indeed different. Our boss, Mr. Yang Yi, has provided a very good idea for the program. Teacher Yuan, you can take a look at our proposal." Yun Yangfeng passed the proposal over.
"Yang Yi is also a genius in the entertainment industry! However, he's also a maverick who doesn't appear in front of the media's cameras. If it were someone else, they would have been drowned in the endless stream of newcomers! However, Yang Yi has really done it. He's a role model for our generation! "Yuan Yan said to Yun Yangfeng with a smile that sounded like he was teasing and envious.
It could be heard that Yuan Yan appreciated Yang Yi. After all, they were both representatives of good men. He also often sent photos of himself cooking to his family on his Microbroadcasting.
Yuan Yan flipped through the proposal roughly. The model and gameplay of the 'Limit Challenge' formed a rough idea in his mind.
However, the compliment that Yun Yangfeng was expecting did not appear.
Yuan Yan had a friendly smile on his face, making it hard to tell what he was thinking. Closing the proposal, his first sentence was, "I'm guessing that even though Yang Yi suggested this show, he wouldn't take on the role of a celebrity host, right?"
"Uh … Teacher Yuan, you're right." Yun Yangfeng hesitated. He did not know what Yuan Yan meant, so he could only add, "However, according to our plan, Yang Yi will appear as a guest in the second or third episode as well because he has a movie to promote."
"Then we'll have to invite Xu Sanduo as well!" Yuan Yan said with a smile. He actually remembered Yang Yi's movie that had been briefly introduced in the newspaper. The other main character in the movie was Geng Sha, who was also the actor of Xu Sanduo who was currently popular all over the country.
Yun Yangfeng's eyes shone. He was not stupid, of course, he could hear the intention in Yuan Yan's words.
"Teacher Yuan, do you mean that you agree?" Yun Yangfeng asked.
"I think that the creativity of your program is very good. It's very interesting. However, I still have some questions for Director Ren. Do you think that the most important thing in this program is the script's plot, dialogue, or the host's and guests' free play? "Yuan Yan asked straightforwardly.
Ren Min shook his head without hesitation and said, "We won't design lines for all the hosts and guests. This is a reality show. What we can do is to set up a general framework and design the rules of the game. As for who wins and who loses, it's up to all of you to fight for it! Besides, how the hosts and guests usually speak should be how they communicate under the camera. We're going for the greatest sense of realism. "
Of course, the proposal in Yuan Yan's hands did not have a specific plot. After all, the program still had to be recorded in the future. If he knew what they were going to play, it would not be fun during the recording!
Yuan Yan was satisfied with Ren Min's answer. He continued to ask a few more questions and finally asked, "There's one last question that you don't have to answer if it's not convenient for you. I'd like to know, other than me, who else are the six celebrity hosts?"
Yuan Yan wanted to know the answer to this question because he knew that the success of a show was not only a matter of creativity, but also a matter of people. If he had to work with someone who was not suitable, he could endure his own feelings. However, the quality of the show would be greatly reduced, and that was not something he wanted to see.
Ren Min and Yun Yangfeng looked at each other and hesitated.
In the end, Yun Yangfeng chose his words carefully and said, "We've decided on three hosts in the beginning. They're all relatively young and energetic young artists. You should know one of them, the young singer Ju Jie who sang 'Impulsive Punishment'."
"Ju Jie's not bad." Yuan Yan smiled as usual and said, "He's driven to do variety shows. He's also a hot topic."
"There's another one called Guo Ziyi. You might not be familiar with him, but he's now acting as the main character in Badaling Film Company's' Fat Secret Agent '," said Yun Yangfeng.
"Guo Ziyi … Guo Ziyi … The name sounds familiar. I remember now. Didn't he act in 'Fairy Tale' last year, the micro movie?" Yuan Yan was struck with realization.
As an epoch-making film, 'Fairy Tale' was the first micro movie in history. Naturally, it became a case study for Yuan Yan and his students in class.
"Guo Ziyi. I'm not familiar with this person but his acting skills are solid. He's quite a talented child." Yuan Yan nodded in the end but there was a hint of hesitation in his voice.
"The other one is Yang Huan, one of the female leads of 'Drawing Sword' which is still being filmed. She's the actress who plays Xiuqin." Yun Yangfeng's introduction to Yang Huan was a little brief.
"How is she related to Yang Yi?" Yuan Yan asked sharply.
"She's his biological sister but there's another consideration for choosing her!" Yun Yangfeng quickly said, "This girl is more honest and has been practicing martial arts since she was young. Her skills are extraordinary. Although she's a girl, she doesn't need the care of a male host at all."
Guo Ziyi could be considered as Yang Yi's own man. Now, there was another biological sister, Yang Huan? Could they play well with such a lineup of partners?
Yuan Yan frowned.
