Chapter 108 Big Brother, Stop Playing Too Much
"You must have hired celebrities from the entertainment industry for your wilderness survival program, right? How many people are planned to participate?"
Lu Wei thought for a moment. Since they were going to collaborate with the entertainment channel on the filming, the participants would definitely be celebrities from the entertainment industry. These people are usually very busy with their work. Some of them often work for more than ten hours straight when filming movies or recording albums in order to meet deadlines.
In that case, it would be good enough if they weren't in a sub-healthy state; Lu Wei didn't have high expectations for their physical fitness at all. Leading such a group of people through the deep mountains and forests, especially with special circumstances, meant that if there were too many people, he probably wouldn't be able to take care of them if danger arose.
"For this event, we plan to invite 3 men and 3 women to participate in a wilderness survival experience. The location hasn't been decided yet, but you can specify a place. Familiarity with the terrain will make the event easier to carry out, since there are special segments in the program. If you're not familiar with the terrain, it could be a bit dangerous."
The live streaming industry in China is still underdeveloped. Most of the live streams are game streams or individual streams, with limited content and inconsistent quality.
Wilderness survival activities are quite novel in online live streaming. Dou Niu Live is still figuring out how to plan new types of activities, which gives Lu Wei, who has experience in wilderness survival, a lot of decision-making freedom.
"Are there any people over 40 years old among these people? I suggest that for the first time this event is held, we can find a few people who are not too old and have a regular exercise routine."
Lu Wei felt that wilderness survival wouldn't be too difficult for him, and he could easily leave if an emergency occurred. It would be better if someone accompanied him and had plenty of physical strength. However, if he didn't even have the most basic physical abilities in the deep mountains, it would be a bit dangerous. After all, besides the entertainment aspect, safety should be the top priority for this activity.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Wei continued, "Then let's set up the Helan Mountain as the location for this wilderness survival experience. I'm quite familiar with this place, so there's no need to acclimatize to the location beforehand. In addition, I'll give you a training plan when I get back. You can send this training plan to the people participating in the wilderness survival experience and have them practice intensively in the next few days. They only have about 10 days to prepare. When they come, they must run 1 meters within an hour, otherwise participating in the activity will not be very effective."
Logically speaking, it's difficult for most people to fully trust a live-streaming company that suddenly appears. The idea of discussing cooperation so abruptly seems particularly abrupt, especially given the close timing; most people would likely find it hard to accept.
Lu Wei wasn't an impulsive person. On his way back from Japan, he had already learned about the bullfighting live stream online. Hundreds or even thousands of people participated in the live stream every day. From the website's introduction, Lu Wei also found this Zhou Yuhang.
Many young people in the track and field team also enjoy watching live bullfighting in their spare time, so there shouldn't be any problem with the genuine products this company is doing.
Besides, I'm just a fledgling track and field athlete right now, with less fame than an online sports commentator. I have no money, and they probably can't easily take my life either, so what do I have to be afraid of?
According to Lu Wei, the live streamers on Dou Niu Live aren't doing their daily lives for free; they get paid for it. Fans can tip the streamers, and these tips are all paid for by the fans themselves. It's said that the platform and the streamers split the tipping revenue 50/50.
Don't underestimate the power of the internet. Even if one person only gives you a small amount of money, the influence of the internet is significant. If one person gives you 1 yuan a day and you have 1 viewers, you can get half of that amount, which is 5000 yuan a day.
This is much more lucrative than running back and forth on the track all day long. Of course, Lu Wei always scoffed at those vulgar ways of making money through live streaming, but if you have real skills, that's another story.
This activity has potential.
The remaining question is whether or not they dare to take on the event. If they don't have the capability and ruin the show, their reputation will be tarnished. With so many netizens watching, if they fail to handle it, they'll be branded as a money-grubber in both the sports world and the public's mind.
After considering it for a few days, Lu Wei felt that he was fine. As long as the people who came weren't weaklings who would run out of energy after walking for half an hour, they could basically complete the show. As for the quality of the show, that would depend on the situation at the time.
There shouldn't be any problem bringing this program to a successful conclusion.
Having the skills but not taking on the job is a sign of mediocrity. I was an ambitious and good young man in both my past and present lives, so I'm definitely taking this job.
"Then it's settled. Tell me the show's schedule later. I suggest you come three days in advance to familiarize yourselves with the environment. The celebrities should also come early to familiarize themselves with the environment. Of course, if your schedule is too full and you can only schedule it for the few days of filming, there's nothing we can do. If you perform poorly, it won't be fair to your fans, and you'll lose fans. Don't blame me then, haha!"
Lu Wei laid out the unpleasant truth upfront: this kind of outdoor sport, which demands a great deal of physical ability, requires immense perseverance and courage, and the events of that day would be unforgettable for them.
Thinking of this, Lu Wei suddenly laughed, which made Zhou Yuhang a little uneasy.
"Brother, although the people we invited this time aren't particularly famous, they are still celebrities. Don't go too far and ruin them, otherwise this path of ours will be blocked!"
Zhou Yuhang found that Lu Wei was not at all what he had imagined. In his impression, athletes were generally shy, and in a negotiation like today, he should have been the one in control from beginning to end.
In the sports world, you can count the number of stars with distinctive personalities on one hand. Liu Xiang, the "Little Giant," is one of them. He is humorous, confident, and easy to talk to.
As for others, even if they have personal charm and are famous in the sports world, very few of them can achieve good results in entertainment programs.
He concluded that if the assertive Lu Wei participated in an entertainment program, the atmosphere wouldn't be very good. His aura was simply too strong. He himself had at least a few years of work experience and had met many people, but in front of Lu Wei, he was always in a passive position.
He was genuinely worried that Lu Wei might dislike those entertainment stars on the show and make them suffer. Different professions have different strengths, and if he traumatized someone once, perhaps no entertainment star would dare participate in such activities again.
Actually, he was overthinking it. A few years later, even though people like Bear Grylls pushed many celebrities to their limits on TV shows and did many things that pushed their boundaries, many celebrities still flocked to participate in such events.
