The second game was scheduled for the next day, so they had the night off. It was now their third day on the program.
It was unknown if it was because it was their second shoot or because there was only a two-day break between the shoots, or because this was currently a wuxia setting which often required the use of spiritual energy, but there was no passion of curiosity like in the first one. The spirit of the guests didn’t seem to be very good, especially the female guests. From time to time, they even looked dazed.
“Are you alright? Are you uncomfortable anywhere?” Su Yang saw Zhao Hanyu looking a little dizzy and asked in concern.
Zhao Hanyu shook her head and said, “I’m fine.”
“Are you really? You look a little pale.” Su Yang was still concerned, but he also didn’t know if they could fall ill under these sceneries. But it was possible for all humans to get sick, even if they were cultivators.
Su Yang was unaware of the current plans, but the program team knew. In order to increase interest, they naturally added the possibility of getting sick, but this generally only happened to npcs. But since they entered the world using their own spiritual bodies, they wouldn’t be as sick as they would be in real life. Unless there was a problem with their spirit in real life.
As a director, Zhang Changyi was also watching these guests. Although there was no script and they didn’t need to remind them what to do, he still needed to pay attention to their physical condition. They needed to solve any problems quickly.
Zhang Changyi frowned at the large screen that was divided into ten small screens. Each corresponded to each of the ten guests. At this moment, three guests on the small screen showed varying degrees of dizziness.
“Notify Xiao Liu to bring all ten guests who entered the simulation over,” Zhang Changyi commanded the people around him.
“Will do.” Not long after, all ten guests appeared in the waiting room. Besides Wu Yaxu, who had been waiting there since early that morning, the others were confused.
“What’s going on? My identity wasn’t exposed, so why am I in the waiting room?” Meng Lianggu was puzzled and spoke to himself. He then saw the other guests arriving too.
“We probably won’t be eliminated,” Xiao Ailun said.
“If we’re not eliminated, then why did we suddenly leave the scene? Why are we here?”
“The program team probably needed something. Let’s wait and see,” Shen Chuxia said. She felt a bit weak.
Zhao Hanyu was already sitting in the chair beside her and was a little unsteady. This was the first time she had stayed in the virtual network for so long.
Zhang Changyi’s figure quickly appeared in the waiting room as well as the agents of the ten guests.
“Why are you guys here?” Meng Lianggu looked at his agent and asked.
“This week’s shooting will end here for now. You guys get offline and check in with your agents first. We can discuss the shooting schedule afterwards,” Zhang Changyi said to the ten guests.
Everyone was confused as they were taken away by their agents to get checked.
In this era, everything was efficient. Less than a day later, the reports were in Zhang Changyi’s hands. He also brought in a professional doctor to help him analyze the data.
“They don’t have enough mental energy to stay in the virtual network for long periods of time,” the doctor said, looking at the report of the ten guests.
Hearing this, Zhang Changyi frowned and asked, “Can they last another five more days? Isn’t it said that most people can safely stay inside for eight to ten days?”
“It normally wouldn’t be a problem for most people with better physique, but these celebrities often work all hours of the day. Adding along the stress, and their physique often can’t compare to ordinary people’s, and the fact that they only have two days of rest in between the shoots, this isn’t enough to restore them to their best state,” the doctor continued.
“How long will it take them to return to their best performance?” Zhang Changyi asked.
Although he was very concerned about ‘Challenge All In’, he was more concerned about the health of the guests. If he could ignore the health of the guests for the program, then nobody would dare work with their company in the future. Not to mention, the two bosses were also joining this filming.
“They need about a week’s rest. The male guests are in good health, but the women are under a lot of pressure. They should be fine after taking about eight or nine days off.”
Zhang Changyi carefully thought about what the doctor said and quickly came up with a plan. Their company was scheduled to shoot one scene a week, with two episodes per scene to be aired on Saturday and Sunday. If they took into accounts the guests’ health, that meant they wouldn’t be able to shoot this week. If they took a week break for one scene, then they would only be able to shoot one scene every two weeks.
Fortunately, their first episode was split into two episodes for broadcasting. If they switched their schedule to a weekly airing, it would be a good solution. But they would have to give their fans an explanation.
Although Zhang Changyi came up with a solution, this wasn’t only up to him. He had to discuss it with his colleagues, especially with his boss.
And so, Zhang Changyi immediately went to find Chen Hongliang, Ye Luohan, and Luo Lingxing to explain the current situation.
When Chen Hongliang heard this, he furrowed his brows. “Xiao Luo, God Luo, are your bodies feeling okay?”
“We’re fine.”
After returning home, Ye Luohan and Luo Lingxing also examined their bodies. Probably because they cultivated, their physique and mental energy were very good. Even if they stayed in the virtual space for half a month, it would be no problem.
“Then how will we explain it to the fans?” Seeing that Ye Luohan and Luo Lingxing were okay, Chen Hongliang sighed with relief before asking his question.
“When we did the promotion, we didn’t say we would definitely release two episodes a week. Since we already released the first two episodes, we can think of them as early publicity for the fans. Other reality shows also only release weekly. We can do the same. Fans shouldn’t mind too much,” Zhang Changyi suggested.
“Mn. That’s a good suggestion.” Chen Hongliang nodded.
“But how should we deal with the guests? Their scenes were scheduled in advance.” Zhang Changyi still had some worries. They might be able to explain to the fans, but it would be hard to explain to the external guests. They were invited, after all, and were scheduled for a certain time. Now that they were adjusting the time, there might be many things they would have to deal with.
“There’s no other choice. Their body can’t handle doing a shoot a week. You’ll have to adjust the schedule with the external guests as much as possible. If they can’t adjust or don’t agree, we can only find other guests. We’ll hold a meeting in half an hour to discuss the plan,” Chen Hongliang said decisively.
Ye Luohan and Luo Lingxing didn’t attend the meeting. The company affairs were already handed to Chen Hongliang and the others Luo Bingze had sent over. They believed Chen Hongliang could handle this well. Besides, more things like this would happen in the future.
Moreover, Ye Luohan and Luo Lingxing had just returned from the virtual network, so they went home to rest.
The program team immediately held an emergency meeting. After deliberation, it was decided to shoot for five days, then rest for nine days. It was perfectly two weeks for each shoot. So each scene would be split up into two episodes, which would be aired over two weeks. It would still be one episode a week.
For the external guests, the contract had been signed. If they could adjust their schedule, then the cooperation would naturally continue. If they couldn’t, it could be resolved peacefully. If they became unreasonable, then they would directly cancel the contract and pay the compensation, then blacklist that celebrity from Jun Ling Entertainment. They wouldn’t cooperate with those celebrities again in the future.
As soon as the news came out, netizens complained that watching one episode a week wasn’t enough. They wanted to watch everything at once, but now the delay would be twice as long. It was too torturous. But most fans understood. Most variety shows aired one episode a week, after all. These were all things that happened later on.
Going back to the Han residence. After Ye Luohan returned home with Luo Lingxing, he immediately had Luo Lingxing return to their room to rest. He was very worried, because he had actually forgotten that Luo Lingxing’s physique was only Grade C. It was weaker than most people’s. As a result, he didn’t stop Luo Lingxing from staying in the virtual world for three days. Although there weren’t any problems with Luo Lingxing during the check-up, Ye Luohan was still very worried. He felt very guilty and blamed himself.
“I’m sorry.” Ye Luohan sat beside the bed and looked at Luo Lingxing, who was lying down. His eyes were full of heartache and self-blame.
“I’m fine. Although my physique isn’t high, my mental energy is very strong, so don’t worry.”
Luo Lingxing smiled and reassured Han Junzhan.
He was right. His body wasn’t very good because it was the original Luo Lingxing’s body, but his mental energy came with his soul. It was very powerful. It could be said that there wasn’t a single person in this world that could match his mental energy. He would naturally be fine entering the virtual world with this strength of his.
Even if this was the case, Ye Luohan was still uneasy. He insisted Luo Lingxing lie on the bed to rest. Luo Lingxing didn’t resist and took a nap with him.
