The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul-Chapter 748 - 747. She actually faced it head on!

Lin Chuan’s mind flickered with some confusion, but as the broadcast time approached, he immediately shifted his focus to the two TV stations.

"Keep a close eye on the ratings data and its changes tonight; everyone might need to work some overtime."

"Understood, Director Lin."

"It’s expected."

Since preparations began in June, almost three months had passed. It was time to see the fruits of their labor.

"Countdown begins, three, two, one, start!"

As the moment of 8:30 arrived, both TV stations instantly switched to the broadcast of "Journey Together," and the first scene depicted the arrival of the ten guests at the Southeast Asia hotel.

Inside the Palm Pavilion, Tang Shu saw herself dragging her luggage into the hotel entrance on TV and arched an eyebrow slightly.

The Program Team had been filming since this time?

The cameras had become so ubiquitous. This was the power of technology!

"Tsk, tsk, my sister is so beautiful, she overshadows everyone the moment she appears!"

"Of course, it’s all about presence, my sister’s got plenty of it!"

"That’s my sister, what does she have to do with you? Why’s your face so big."

On the couch, Xu Qianyun and Qu Junfeng, who were cracking sunflower seeds and tsk-tsking in wonder, were like a comic duo.

"Heh heh, your sister is my sister too, right? We’re brothers after all——"

"Get lost!"

Xu Qianyun kicked over, but Qu Junfeng seemed to anticipate the move and quickly rolled to the side to dodge.

Tang Shu’s mouth twitched, and she glanced disdainfully at the overly ingratiating Qu Junfeng before retracting her gaze.

This kid seemed bent on mooching off her silly younger brother, but after all, it takes two to tango, and their interactions were rather miraculous.

No discord, no concord, as the saying went.

***

In the video, the domestic and international guests quickly converged.

The domestic ones were fine, as the five had previous collaborations and got along harmoniously, their familiar banter leaving netizens feeling nostalgic.

"Waaa, these people have finally reunited, it’s so touching——"

"Still the familiar formula, still the familiar taste."

"Tang Shu, a one-time guest, has miraculously integrated into the group of four? Amazing!"

"Dude in front, you might not have seen the episode with my uncle in it. Everyone loves him, okay!"

"With her dart-throwing skills, who wouldn’t cling to her coattails?"

"This reminds me of Tang Shu’s fish-catching moment. Weirdly enough, I feel like this domestic team won’t be short on food, what do you all think?"

"Well... hard to say, right? You can’t just eat anything in the tropical rainforest."

"The foreign Explorers seemed to have an easy time with food too, plus I think their muscles are not something everyone can match."

"Finished, just like that, did Tang Shu’s advantage disappear?"

"What do we have to compete with them with?"

This comment seemed quite sensible, and many netizens left messages, analyzing objectively. After all, Tang Shu’s small frame couldn’t even compare to team captain Yin Dong, and whether it was darts or fishing, it was all about agility.

For a while, the internet buzzed with those who doubted the domestic guests’ chances.

Merely three minutes after showcasing the domestic guests’ rapport, the broadcast moved on to the first appearance of the international guests, each of their arrivals eliciting countless screams from the netizens.

Among the five, actors Roger and Alina received a warm welcome due to their representative works, while the remaining three were not to be underestimated—as real-life Explorers, they held considerable status internationally.

The Program Team’s editing was extremely tight and very engaging, with every single moment gripping the audience’s attention.

Following a six-minute getting-to-know-you segment, both sides faced their first major integration, signaling the official start of the first episode.

"Alright, now that everyone has been acquainted, let’s start filming after checking the equipment!"

The chief director’s opening remarks echoed from the television as ten guests lined up to enter the equipment check phase.

And...

When the camera panned to Tang Shu’s backpack, every guest on screen was baffled, and so were all the viewers in front of their TVs.

"What the hell is that???"

"After rubbing my eyes, the stuff in the backpack doesn’t change, and I honestly start suspecting I’m hallucinating!"

"Small porcelain bottle, Ziploc bags, hammer???"

"What on earth is all this? Which item is related to rainforest exploration? Can some expert please explain this?!"

"I thought I understood this adventure show pretty well, seems I was thinking too much?"

Bafflement, nothing but bafflement, everyone was baffled!

But Tang Shu, the person in question, remained calm and even assertively retorted, "None of these are prohibited items," which earned her a fierce roll of the eyes from Roger.

The audience went wild once more.

"Holy shit, are they locking horns right at first sight?!"

"Tang Shu is so badass, she’s actually standing her ground!!!"

"I’m so done, guys, what the hell is this? Starting a fight right off the bat???"

"I thought the first clash would happen half an hour into the show?"

"I once bet with my friends that the earliest fight might break out at the end of the first episode, I never imagined I had underestimated the guests’ abilities!"

"This is completely beyond my expectations!"

Inside the Cloudscape Group office building, Lin Chuan who was watching the video APP comments in front of his computer, couldn’t help but chuckle with a meaningful smile.

This certainly wasn’t how he expected things to turn out; he almost thought they couldn’t continue filming the show!

The more I was on edge two months ago, the more ’MMP’ you clueless viewers are now!

"Tsk tsk, what goes around comes around. How could I be the only one to experience this agonizing feeling?"

Shiver in fear!

Go crazy!

Scratch your own heads until you go bald!

In the show, when Tang Shu casually mentioned the words "Traditional Chinese Medicine," she drew scorn and ridicule from the foreign guests.

In front of the TV, viewers who initially had doubts about Tang Shu and felt she was overdoing it were suddenly infuriated.

"What’s wrong with Traditional Chinese Medicine, it’s profound and intricate!"

"I can’t take that look, our ancestors passed this down, it’s the essence of practical verification!"

"The sentence before I was still criticizing Tang Shu for being naive... Sorry, my mistake, I was the one with the narrow mindset!"

"Although, Tang Shu, a sophomore, are you sure you can carry the banner of Traditional Chinese Medicine?"

"Not going to lie, I have my doubts about that too. She can gather local herbs, sure, but can she keep a low profile? What if she screws up?"

Regarding this, the majority of netizens were skeptical, after all, Tang Shu’s age spoke volumes, and she did not look like a master of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

At most, she’d learned the bare essentials in school.
