After the launch of ‘Challenge All In’, the first shoot began the very next day.
Shooting a reality TV show was completely different from shooting a TV drama, especially since this would take place in ancient times. This shoot was completely moved to the holographic virtual reality, which meant that the actors didn’t need to leave their house and could directly log onto the virtual network.
There were two ways to log into the virtual network. One was to wear a helmet, which was suitable for people who would visit the virtual network for only a short period, and the other was a virtual capsule.
The virtual capsule was safer than the helmet. Nutrient solution that the body needed could be directly added to automatically feed the body when needed, which meant it was suitable for long-term use.
Since each episode took five days to shoot, and the time ratio in the virtual network compared to the real world was one to one, and they needed to stay in the virtual network for five days, they needed to use the virtual capsule. This time, the reality show adopted the method of releasing an episode right after it finished shooting. So they needed to stay on the virtual network for five days to shoot, then they would have two days of rest before reentering the virtual network.
Therefore, in order to participate in this shoot, the fixed guests needed more than two months. Of course, Jun Ling Entertainment was paying them very well.
The Han residence had virtual capsules for Luo Lingxing and Han Junzhan. After joining this shoot, Han Junzhan instructed Aunt Lin some things and told the others not to come to disturb them. He and Luo Lingxing then logged directly onto the virtual network.
They were notified in advance of the meet up location, so when they logged on, they directly went there. They used their real life appearance.
When Ye Luohan and Luo Lingxing arrived at the virtual waiting room, there were already several people waiting there.
“Xiao Luoluo.” When Xia Yuan saw Luo Lingxing, he excitedly ran over to give him a hug. As a result, he saw Ye Luohan appearing besides Luo Lingxing at the next moment. His rapid pace of running quickly paused. Because of the instability caused by the sudden stop, he almost made a fool of himself in public.
“Hehe… Great god, you’re here too.” Xia Yuan smiled as he quickly moved backwards. He intended to retreat to where he came from and pretend he never ran over in the first place.
The other guests saw Xia Yuan’s silly actions and secretly smiled. Xiao Kai had an expression that said, “I don’t know this guy”. He couldn’t bear to look at him.
“Yuanyuan? What are you doing here? Are you and Xiao Kai the special guests?” Luo Lingxing looked at Xia Yuan and Yang Zekai. He was surprised but had a guess in his heart.
The external guests for each episode of ‘Challenge All In’ was kept a secret. Even the eight regular guests didn’t know in advance.
Although Luo Lingxing and Ye Luohan were the bosses of Jun Ling Entertainment, because they were also regular guests of ‘Challenge All In’, they didn’t get information on who the external guests would be either. That was why Luo Lingxing was surprised.
“Yep. You must be surprised, right?” Xia Yuan said with a smile. He put his shameful actions past him.
In fact, when he received the news, he was somewhat eager to share it with Luo Lingxing, but because of the confidentiality agreement, he had to keep it a secret for days. He almost suffocated himself.
“Mn, I’m surprised.” Luo Lingxing nodded cooperatively and smiled. It was no wonder why when he saw Xia Yuan the other day, it looked like he kept wanting to say something. It was because of this.
“Heh, we meet again,” Meng Lianggu greeted Luo Lingxing and threw a look Ye Luohan’s way. Unfortunately, the other party simply ignored him.
“Brother Meng,” Luo Lingxing greeted him.
“Sure enough, Xiao Luo is polite. Unlike someone else who’s pretending I don’t exist. Sigh, it’s such a pity that our good Xiao Luo was snatched away by someone.” Meng Lianggu looked regretful.
Ye Luohan shot him a cold look. Meng Lianggu shuddered and immediately laughed and changed the topic. “Xiao Luo, is this the new artist your company signed?”
Yi Chenhao and Su Yang were both signed artists from Jun Ling Entertainment, so they were very familiar with Xia Yuan and Yi Chenhao. Therefore, they didn’t need a special introduction. However, this seemed the first time Meng Lianggu met them. It was easy to guess who Xia Yuan was, since he was a celebrity, but he didn’t recognize Yang Zekai.
“Brother Meng, let me introduce you. This is Yang Zekai, Xia Yuan’s agent. This is Meng Lianggu,” Luo Lingxing briefly introduced them to each other.
Other reality shows would invite celebrities or leaders in other fields, but never an agent. Jun Ling Entertainment, on the other hand, had no regulations in this regard. With Yang Zekai’s status in the music industry, inviting him would increase their program’s appeal.
Yang Zekai usually wouldn’t agree to participate in such a program since it was too high-profile, but Xia Yuan wanted to join, so he didn’t feel at ease. He had to make a sacrifice and join to accompany him.
“Hello, it’s nice to meet you,” Meng Lianggu took the initiative to extend his hand and greet him. He was a little surprised to find this person was Xia Yuan’s agent, since Yang Zekai’s handsome face could defeat countless celebrities in seconds. It was such a pity this person wasn’t a celebrity.
“Hello, I’m Yang Zekai,” Yang Zekai said.
“Sorry, am I late?” A female voice came from behind. Zhao Hanyu’s figure appeared in the waiting room.
“It’s fine. We’ve only just arrived,” Luo Lingxing said.
“Hello seniors, my name is Zhao Hanyu. Please advise me in the future,” Zhao Hanyu said politely.
“Hehe, we’re both classmates and newcomers. You don’t have to call me senior. It feels weird,” Xia Yuan said with a smile.
“So Xiao Han and Xiao Yuan are classmates?” Meng Lianggu asked.
“No, Zhao Hanyu and Luoluo are classmates. We’re just in the same grade, so we could be considered classmates,” Xia Yuan explained.
Among the people present, besides Meng Lianggu, everyone else was from jun ling entertainment. However, Meng Lianggu and Ye Luohan were friends and had cooperated with Luo Lingxing and Yi Chenhao, so everyone quickly became acquainted.
“Oh my. I suddenly realized that everyone besides me is from Jun Ling Entertainment. If you guys team up later, you can’t leave me out. Since I’ve cooperated with Luoluo and Xiao Han before, then that means I can be considered half from Jun Ling Entertainment,” Meng Lianggu joked.
“Brother Meng, you’re being tricky. You’re finding allies already. How can you leave me and Ailun before? I’ve also cooperated with Xiao Luo before. Matter of fact, I’m closer to him than you. Isn’t that right, Xiao Luo?” Shen Chuxia walked up to Luo Lingxing and said cheerfully.
“Sister Xia, Brother Xiao,” Luo Lingxing greeted Shen Chuxia and Xiao Ailun.
“My, my. It’s rare for me to be the silent villain. Sure enough, I don’t have the potential of being the villain,” Meng Lianggu shook his head and said. Everyone laughed and the atmosphere became even more harmonious.
“Of course it’s because this sister has sharp eyes,” Shen Chuxia said proudly with her chin lifted.
“God Xiao, I didn’t expect to see you here. I’m your fan. please give me your autograph,” Xia Yuan saw Xiao Ailun and said excitedly.
Luo Lingxing was slightly surprised. He didn’t expect Xia Yuan to be Xiao Ailun’s fan. However, it was true that Xiao Ailun had made great achievements in music and had fans everywhere. Xia Yuan himself was also in the music industry. It made sense for him to worship Xiao Ailun.
“Hehe, I didn’t expect to meet fans here. I’m not worthy. I heard your first album too, and the songs were great. I believe you’ll become a famous singer in the future,” Xiao Ailun said with a smile. He then signed his name big for Xia Yuan.
“Hehe…” He was praised by his idol, so Xia Yuan’s smile was very silly and brilliant. “Besides God Xiao’s classic versions of the albums, I have them all. Unfortunately, the classic versions are limited. They were gone by the time I tried to get them.” Xia Yuan was filled with regret as soon as he thought about it. He could have had a complete set.
Xiao Ailun rubbed his chin and said, “I still have a copy of the classic version at home. I’ll bring it to you later.”
“Really?” Xia Yuan’s eyes began to glow. This meant he could have a complete set, so how could he not be excited?
“Of course.” Xiao Ailun was very happy to meet a fan of his.
“Ahem…it seems that everyone knows each other. For the next five days, everyone will have to work hard. The locations and scenes have been decided. We will send everyone to their respective locations later. I will now explain the rules. Remember it well, because I will only explain it once.” Zhang Changyi interrupted them and began explaining the rules to everyone.
“Later, we will confiscate everyone’s terminals, then we will issue you an unregistered terminal. This terminal will be used to collect the tasks issued by our program. Of course, you can also contact each other, but you must find each other before you can contact them. In addition, you have to try to integrate into the local life. You have to act according to your identity and you can’t make the locals suspicious. If they get suspicious, and you are identified, then you will immediately be transported to this waiting room and eliminated. You cannot use your terminal in front of others. If you get caught, you will be eliminated. In short, you have to hide your identity and complete the tasks according to information issued on your terminal until someone finds the tasks prop. You have until the shoot is over to find the prop. The shoot will automatically end in five days and you will be sent out of here. Do you understand?” Zhang Changyi asked.
“Understood,” everyone replied.
Because some locals knew of this program and knew the identity of the guests, if they shot the show in reality, it wouldn’t be completely fair and just. So after discussing it, the program team and everyone else unanimously decided that using the virtual network’s simulation scene would be the best course of action. Besides the eight fixed guests and two external guests, all the other participants would be NPCs. The guests obviously knew this.
Zhang Changyi’s next words interrupted some people’s speculation.
“These NPCs are all highly intelligent and won’t be easily fooled. Don’t think that you can trick them just because they’re NPCs. If you hold such thoughts, then you’ll pay a painful price.” Zhang Changyi smiled like a thief in the night. It gave everyone a bad feeling.
“Since everyone understands, give up your terminals.” Zhang Changyi confiscated everyone’s terminals, then another person issued new ones to them.
Nobody had time to communicate with each other before the scene before them changed completely. It became a quaint and ancient time. If they didn’t know they were shooting a reality show, they would have thought they transmigrated.
At this moment, everyone had the same idea: The program team is awesome to be able to achieve this level of realisticity. They were full of curiosity and expectation for the next scene. I wonder what will happen to them next?
