Chapter 1355 - 1351: All Like Pigs Awaiting Slaughter
Chloe Winston paused for a moment; there were helicopters because Constantine Stewart had been exhausted yesterday and arranged for three helicopters to come over. Daniel told her about it; for some reason, the director, who always smiled so sleazily, was quite amiable to her.
"The desert has many unpredictable dangers. If I were the show’s production team, I wouldn’t just arrange helicopters; I’d also have doctors on standby," Chloe said matter-of-factly. The guests participating in this survival reality show really have no sense of crisis.
"Chloe, what exactly is the content of the first episode filming? Without these cosmetics and clothes, what should I bring?" Wendy Starling said, somewhat distressed.
Chloe glanced at her suitcase and saw nothing practical except half a box of snacks.
"Take the food and daily necessities; leave everything else at the camp," Chloe said flatly. "If I’m not mistaken, the next three days will be like living in primitive conditions."
Wendy Starling was taken aback. Will it really be that bad?
While the two were talking, the staff outside was already calling for the guests to get up and start the broadcast.
Chloe and Wendy came out and saw Desmond Wood’s two assistants running around. One was holding an umbrella for him, and the other was checking out what’s for breakfast. Desmond himself was dressed exquisitely, wearing a long-sleeve fringed sun-protective cover-up and a long red skirt, with light makeup and sunglasses, looking like a high-and-mighty goddess.
Chloe chuckled and went with Wendy to have breakfast. After breakfast, the crew began filming, and this episode’s filming spanned three days and two nights. The director had tasted success with live streaming yesterday; just a live stream of the airport pickup attracted over three million viewers, with nearly a million in rewards. Fans argued endlessly online, and from yesterday to today, the hot search topics were all about his variety show.
Countless businesses have already called for advertising placements, and the collaborating TV station director and online platform are laughing all the way to the bank, while his reputation and status are soaring. Director Daniel was so excited he didn’t sleep a wink and decided that the first episode’s filming would continue using the live streaming method, not waiting for future recordings. Early in the morning, he instructed the photographers to start the live broadcast.
Nowadays, traffic is king, and live streaming is the way to go.
Director Daniel, wearing a hat, looked at the eight gathered guests, feeling like he was seeing piglets waiting to be slaughtered at a pig farm, squinting his eyes and viciously smiling: "Thank you, esteemed guests, for participating in the ’Let’s Fall in Love’ reality show. Now, please draw lots to determine your CP partner. The reality show will conduct public voting based on each person’s performance in every episode to decide star couples and give mysterious rewards."
Saying this, the assistant director brought out a box for everyone to draw lots.
Reality TV fans and each superfan base knew this powerful lineup for a love-themed survival reality show was being broadcast live — no waiting for scheduling, editing, nor recordings — all cheering started early in the morning, continuing yesterday’s fights, continuing yesterday’s criticism, incredibly lively.
When the team finally began to draw official CPs, the fans in the live broadcast room all were shouting red-faced.
"I want Charles Taylor to be paired with Chloe Winston — hate Desmond Wood, no fake innocents."
"I hope William Zamora is paired with my goddess — William is an athlete and can surely protect Sister Wendy."
"Desmond for the win, Desmond for the win, hope Desmond pairs with the movie star for a strong union."
"Desmond’s brainless fans, don’t drag our Charles into it, scram!"
"Hope Mr. Stewart pairs with Chloe — beautiful-looking CP, refreshing for the eyes."
"The person upstairs must be blind; my music prince’s baby face beats Mr. Stewart. I hope Chloe pairs with my male god, I can enjoy this CP for an entire year."
Aside from the two athletes and Constantine Stewart, the rest were incredibly popular. As fans argued face-red and neck-thick in the live broadcast room, the lot drawing had already started in front of the camera. The four gentlemen were all quite chivalrous, giving the ladies the right to draw lots to decide their partners.
Wendy drew first, followed by Desmond, Vicky Webb, and finally Chloe.
Chloe casually picked a numbered ball, only hoping not to pair with Constantine Stewart; the rest didn’t matter. She drew number two.
Soon, the drawing results were out. Chloe teamed up with Charles Taylor, Wendy Starling with Desmond Wood, William Zamora with Vicky Webb, Desmond Wood with Constantine Stewart.
The drawing results left some thrilled, some distressed, causing a surge of rewards and cheers in the live broadcast room. Chloe felt relieved when she saw she was paired with Charles Taylor.
After the four CP teams were set, the director looked at the guests with varied expressions and announced the content of the first episode with a smile.
"The content of the first episode is a broken treasure map. Your task is to enter the small desert five kilometers away and find four pieces of the treasure map lost in the desert, assemble a complete treasure map, and exit the desert to start filming at the second location.
The production team will arrange vehicles to transport you to the small desert five kilometers away. Within these three days and two nights, besides your own luggage and each group receiving a camel and a waiver smoke bomb, the production team will not provide any support. When you feel like you’re starving, thirsty, or exhausted, remember to use the waiver smoke bomb. We have three helicopters and medical staff on standby. During the next three days, have fun."
Before the director’s malicious words even fell, the live broadcast room exploded.
"Oh my God, so ruthless, this isn’t a love program, this is a kill program."
"So this is a survival reality show, makes sense."
"Am I the only one excited? Feels like everyone is going to starve to death in the desert. I pity my Charles, boohoo."
"Did you all forget, Chloe brought five kilos of water and lots of food."
"Whoa, Miss is awesome; movie star fans are going crazy."
"Is the production team doing shady business? Otherwise, why only Chloe has water and food?"
"Those claiming shady business must be brainless — Desmond Wood openly said at the airport that she invested money to join this show, if anyone’s getting special treatment, it’s Desmond Wood."
"Haters scram, I, an Illusion World player of millions, am sharpening my knives, ready to kill anyone who comes."
"Ah, Chloe is simply my male god’s blessing. Eagerly waiting for the Charles and Chloe CP to beat the other three teams."
While the live broadcast room was a hubbub of shouting, the eight guests in front of the camera also looked pretty uncomfortable.
What kind of filming content is this? For these three days and two nights, they have to eat, drink, and poop in the desert, without anyone telling them beforehand there’s no water, no food, no tents, no medicine, not even walking sticks. They’ll have to ride camels across the desert on empty stomachs, searching for foolish treasure map fragments?
Was the production team kicked in the head by a donkey? Is this how you treat guests?
