“Every week, six MCs will be placed in a locked environment and will clear stages through deciphering the problems . There’s a different theme every week, from escape room to desert island survival, and many more,” Zheng Tianming explained .
“The production team has already listed out the invitations for the permanent MCs and are contacting them now, so that’s not much of a problem . But because this variety show is the first of its kind in our country, and the investment’s huge, the Han Corporation invested 70% in it . The sponsorship fee is also included in this 70% . ”
Lu Man was tongue-tied hearing this .
Dong Hua Station had enough means to hold a large-scale variety event by themselves, but this was not enough and they’d had to approach the Han Corporation for investment .
And the Han Corporation’s investment was worth 70% of the overall, showing that the program had massive funding, probably breaking the national records for investments in variety shows .
There was no exact figures, but the Han Corporation had never invested in small projects .
Yet even though she didn’t know the details, Lu Man also knew the magnitude of the funding for this variety program .
And the more it was like this, the more the show had to succeed .
Just like Xing Ke Station’s The Performer back then—because of the big investment and high hopes for it, everyone had been nervous .
But Xing Ke Station’s The Performer at that time was not as heavily funded as Dong Hua Station’s now .
This goes to show what kind of pressure Dong Hua Station was facing .
Lu Man was surprised; Dong Hua Station was actually bold enough to approach the Han Corporation for investment .
What type of show were they planning to produce, exactly?
Putting aside everything else and just based on this boldness, Lu Man anticipated the results of the show .
“Precisely because it’s like this, that’s why Dong Hua Station itself is facing a whole lot of pressure too,” Han Zhuoli explained to Lu Man .
“Who’s the overall director for this show?” Lu Man asked curiously .
The only director she was familiar with in Dong Hua Station was Lu Dongliu .
Han Zhuoli smiled . “What a coincidence . It’s Lu Dongliu . ”
Lu Man thought that Lu Dongliu was really brave .
Ever since he contacted her to attend the program and rejected Liang Chengbing, Lu Man knew that there was some adventurous spirit in his bones—rather like a gambler, if she put it gravely .
But creating shows in the entertainment industry, especially new shows such as this, was a gamble itself .
“Because Dong Hua Station’s placing emphasis on it—because their superiors requested it—the show has to include elites from all industries . For the show to have diversity, the production team not only invited celebrities but also invited the best from various other industries . Of course, they have to fit the popularity bill as well so as to bring in the viewership ratings . ”
When Zheng Tianming got to this point, Lu Man already knew what the production team wanted .
“So, Dong Hua Station wishes to invite CEO or Deputy CEO, either one of you, to attend Survivor . Currently, the MCs that Dong Hua Station has invited include directors, award-winning actors, current hot and young actors and actresses, models, and professional e-gamers . ”
Lu Man thought that the production team did put in a lot of effort into choosing the MCs’ occupations .
Nowadays, there wasn’t merely a demand to watch celebrities in reality shows, there must be diverse elements .
But if it was someone randomly plucked off the streets, someone who wasn’t famous, the audience wouldn’t like watching you even if you were the best in your industry .
If the person had too much screentime while the other artistes had less, then the fans of the other stars would have strong objections as well .
Hence, they could only find the elites in their professions who were not only popular but also nice-looking .
The professional e-gamers might not be known by non-gamers, but at the same time, there were many gamers, so the professional e-gamers would have their massive fan base too . This counted as a part of the viewership .
