On the 3rd of June, Xingyao held a press conference.
In the flashes of the reporters, Luo Jinting, with a glowing face, introduced their newly produced reality show called "Travel Challenge".
"Our show's theme is travel, but what's more interesting than travel is the difficulties that the show will set for the guests. They need to challenge themselves and break through one obstacle after another … …"
Xingyao teamed up with Xiangnan TV to produce this show. The fixed lineup of invited members was very luxurious, three men and three women. There were A-list singers like Ye Qing and Li Manman, as well as idol singers like Cao Congcong. In addition, there were also two little fresh meats and a beauty from a popular girl group!
Don't underestimate the influence of idols. The six of them, not to mention the number of fans added together wasn't inferior to the six people in The Limit Challenge. Just in terms of looks, they completely beat The Limit Challenge!
It could be said that although the six of them didn't come to the press conference, but seeing the appearance of the six on the show's poster was enough to make the audience look forward to it!
Of course, since the name "Challenge" was used, it was inevitable that the reporters would pull it out and compare it to "The Limit Challenge".
"What's the difference between us and a certain show?" Luo Jinting said with a smile. "Of course there's, there's a lot of differences. We're completely different from them! If we're the same, then wouldn't we be plagiarizing? "
"It's like this, the travel that our show talks about isn't a normal trip, but a more beautiful and challenging foreign trip! Just like right now, our members are recording the first episode of the show in France. They're in a country where they don't speak the language, and they also need to face all kinds of difficulties from the show's crew. For example, we'll limit their travel expenses, give them missions to earn travel expenses, etc. If they want to make this trip more exciting, then they need to face these challenges. This process will be very exciting and very interesting! "Luo Jinting said with confidence.
It sounded pretty good, so Luo Jinting naturally had to describe his show to the heavens. However, the real effect still needed to wait until the show was broadcast to be clear.
But without a doubt, "The Limit Challenge" was about to meet a strong enemy!
Moreover, this strong enemy wasn't like other imitation shows that were unsightly. Xingyao put a lot of effort into this show, and also received the support of Xiangnan TV, the variety show's overlord. Its strength couldn't be underestimated!
Of course, it was still too early to say.
It was unknown if Xingyao had done it on purpose, but they had set the premiere of "The Travel Challenge" in September. It was enough to separate it from the first season of "The Limit Challenge". According to the plan, the first season of "The Limit Challenge" would end in mid-August. It seemed that they were not competitors.
However, the two variety shows were still somewhat similar, and it was bound to cause a battle of public opinion and the audience's reputation.
…
Speaking of which, even though the last episode of the first season of The Ultimate Challenge ended in mid-August, the recording for this episode had already started early.
Due to the busy schedules of several big names, like Jie Yuchen, who had successfully passed Wu Yian's audition, he would be playing the role of Andy in the blockbuster movie "The Shawshank Redemption"!
Wu Yian's movie was not widely publicized, nor was there any press conference. Of course, he was only at the stage of confirming the actors. He was still waiting for the prison's renovation to be completed before he could officially start filming.
The prison for the movie was in the suburbs of a city in Anqing Province. Wu Yian's crew rented an old prison that had been eliminated before the arrival of the New Era. Of course, in order to conform to the original prison's appearance, the crew had also invested a lot of money to renovate it.
This movie with a big director and big name stars naturally attracted the attention of many film companies. During the negotiation process between Wu Yian and Yang Yi, the investment and profit sharing model was the focus of the two sides for several days.
Of course, Yang Yi gave in. He later agreed to Wu Yian's investment, and Yang Yi's Hua Yi brothers only invested one million yuan symbolically. Together with the copyright, he took 10% of the profit share.
During the final negotiation, Wu Yian told Yang Yi that the estimated total investment for this movie was more than eighty million yuan. Yang Yi looked at the other party with a strange expression. Yang Yi was not like Wu Yian thought. He could not afford the money, but he was not willing to invest so much money in this movie.
Although Yang Yi liked this movie very much and was crazy about the spiritual theme of the story, he also knew that when this movie was released in his previous life, the box office was indeed a flop!
The investment of twenty-five million yuan, but the total box office was only twenty-eight million yuan!
If it were not for the fact that it made a lot of money for Warner Brothers by selling videotapes over the next twenty years, this most acclaimed movie in history might have been a losing movie!
Of course, with a different box office environment, a different country, and even a different cast, Yang Yi could not be sure whether this movie would still be a flop!
Maybe it would make a comeback, too?
However, Yang Yi had other uses for his money. He did not want to gamble, nor did he want to wait for twenty years to recoup his investment. Therefore, he agreed to Wu Yian's idea of attracting other investors to film this movie.
The reason why Wu Yian chose Jie Yuchen as the lead actor of this movie (he did not cross over, because although Jie Yuchen was a film emperor, he had also acted in one or two movies) had little to do with him being a regular member of Yang Yi's variety show.
The person who recommended him for the audition was Chen Fengchen, who had worked with Jie Yuchen many times.
Jie Yuchen might be funny during the recording, but his acting skills were not bad at all. During the audition, he won over Wu Yian and Yang Yi.
Other than Jie Yuchen's tight schedule, Dan Hongkui also had to free up his schedule for the second half of the year to film a big production movie. Therefore, the production team of "The Ultimate Challenge" sped up the recording frequency and had to finish the six episodes in July and August in advance.
Dan Hongkui suddenly came out of Phoebe Studio with a few cameramen and executive directors.
Yang Yi was kept in the dark. He, Murphy, Jin Yingming, and Qianli Chuanshu, who was about to graduate and had signed with the Hua Yi brothers, were producing music in the recording studio. Dan Hongkui smiled slyly and knocked on the door.
"What's going on? What's going on? " Yang Yi saw the cameramen behind Dan Hongkui and could not help but laugh. "Are you filming" The Ultimate Challenge "? Why are you here? "
Dan Hongkui pulled Yang Yi's hand and called him brother.
"Hey, no, no, you're my brother. Brother Dan, don't be so mushy! If there's anything, just say it! "Yang Yi smiled." If I can help you, I'll definitely help you! "
Dan Hongkui then told him the reason for his visit.
It turned out that the final "special episode" of the first season was to organize a charity gala. However, it was different from the one in Yang Yi's previous life. The six members had to find a songwriter to write a new song for them. Then, they would participate in the charity gala to raise money for the children in the mountainous areas.
Of course, before that, they had to go through all kinds of scheming. They had to choose the songwriter they wanted one by one.
Dan Hongkui chose Yang Yi before Yang Huan did.
The production team was really bad. They had already contacted the other five or five groups of songwriters, but they did not tell Yang Yi. That was to increase the difficulty of Yang Yi and Dan Hongkui's task.
"So, I'm going to write a song for you to sing in the concert, right?" Yang Yi asked.
"We'll sing it in the concert. We'll sing it together," Dan Hongkui said.
Concert? The concert of "The Ultimate Challenge" … What song should I sing? Suddenly, Yang Yi had an idea.
"Where are you from, Brother Dan?" Yang Yi suddenly started chatting.
Dan Hongkui was a little confused, but he still told Yang Yi, "I'm from Dongshan …"
Yang Yi smiled strangely and said, "Brother Dan, our show is called" The Ultimate Challenge ", right? Since that's the case, I have an idea for my song. However, I might need you to do some challenges. For example, you'll have to practice singing in a dialect you don't know. "
Dialect? Dan Hongkui rolled his eyes and remembered the Cantonese song "Love of a Lifetime" that Yang Yi released a while ago. He asked proudly, "You're talking about Cantonese? That's easy to learn, and I know some too. For example, Thunder Monkey! "
Yang Yi held back his laughter. "Brother Dan, who told you I was talking about Cantonese?"
