Chapter 326 Stealth Photography
The decision to participate in the wilderness survival reality show was made, but before the show started, Yuan Yangyang did something else.
Yuan Yangyang directly had her company invest in the variety show, thus gaining control over it through equity investment.
The only requirement was that the filming be conducted in a completely closed environment, and that all the guests' mobile phones be confiscated to isolate them from all outside information.
In addition, hidden cameras were added to mislead guests into thinking that there were no cameras in some places, so that the guests could show a more authentic version of themselves to the audience.
When they first heard Yuan Yangyang’s plan, Yuan Sixiao and Yuan Si’an were both taken aback.
But considering what Yuan Yangyang had said about the potential dangers posed by Ma Chao, she assumed that this was why Yuan Yangyang was doing this, so she didn't try to stop her.
However, the biggest obstacle to Yuan Yangyang's proposal came from the director of the variety show.
The director reacted strongly and was very resistant to Yuan Yangyang's suggestion.
But facing the show's biggest investor, they had no power to resist and could only protest in a roundabout way.
He said, "Miss Yuan Yangyang, isn't this going a bit too far? After all, there aren't many people in the industry who can actually expose themselves to cameras and withstand the test."
If you do this, it might be difficult to find guests for the show in the future. It might even lead to a boycott within the industry, and the show might have to be shut down.
Yuan Yangyang, however, did not think so, and only then did she say.
"Director, you're overthinking it. My suggestion wasn't unfounded; it was the result of careful consideration."
Nowadays, there are all kinds of variety shows, and the competition is getting fiercer. As far as I know, in order to gain control of this variety show, you signed an agreement with Apple TV. If you can't get the ratings to be among the top three of the variety shows in the same period, you will no longer be qualified to direct variety shows on your own.
"While your previous plan was innovative, it wouldn't be enough to secure a top-three finish."
"If we add the gimmick of covert filming, it will definitely raise the ratings to a new level. If some really explosive news is revealed, the ratings will probably be even more amazing."
"Besides, all the current variety shows and reality shows are just for show. Netizens aren't stupid; they're already tired of them. Don't you want to film a real reality show?"
The director was tempted by what he heard, but still had some reservations.
"But if this show really goes according to your plan, I'm afraid that after the first episode, there won't be a next one. After all, who would dare to participate in the show again?"
This time, before Yuan Yangyang could even speak, Yuan Si'an directly rejected the director's words.
"Director, you're mistaken. As long as the show gets good ratings, plenty of people will come to participate."
Don't forget how many people will stop at nothing to become famous. In this industry, the most terrifying thing isn't being infamous, but being completely ignored.
The director was completely enlightened by these words and agreed to Yuan Yangyang's proposal on the spot.
They also guaranteed complete secrecy before filming began, precisely to prevent leaks and ensure the guests could not reveal their true selves.
"Yangyang, should we give Ma Chao a heads-up beforehand?" Yuan Si'an asked.
After all, Yuan Yangyang did this for Ma Chao. If Ma Chao ends up making a fool of himself on camera, wouldn't that be a huge loss?
Yuan Yangyang replied, "No need. If he is also two-faced and of bad character, then I'll accept my fate."
