Chapter 705: Chapter 453 The Fisherman_1

Feng Yi had not yet reached out when someone from the Propaganda Department of the United China Insurance Bureau came to him.

They recommended that Feng Yi participate in a variety show.

"Survivor" was a reality adventure documentary series launched by Jing City TV, with guests surviving in various extreme weather conditions.

The person in charge of contacting Feng Yi from the publicity department didn’t seem to convey anything special in their tone, and perhaps they didn’t know much themselves, simply following orders from above.

"A show from Jing City TV, is it related to you?" Feng Yi asked.

While on the call, he searched online and couldn’t find any information related to "Survivor," nothing useful anyway. But considering the timing of the show’s launch and the eagerness of the publicity department, Feng Yi couldn’t help but be suspicious.

The person on the other end of the phone replied, "We think the program is very meaningful, and we hope that you young people who were born after the period of abnormal climate can better understand the hardships of extreme weather. This kind of program will give the audience a sense of immersion. For this reason, for the first episode, we even provided the production team with a monitoring station in the north as a shooting location. The production team thinks highly of you and hopes you can participate."

If Feng Yi didn’t have other matters to attend to, he would indeed be interested in getting involved and experiencing the impact of extreme weather with the production crew.

However, he had other plans at the moment and didn’t have much time to spare for this kind of variety show.

Feng Yi spoke seriously, "I also think such variety shows are very meaningful, but unfortunately I don’t have time for the filming. So, I’d like to ask, is the program in need of investment?"

Not being a guest doesn’t mean he can’t be an investor. That’s another way to participate!

"In addition to funding, I can also provide some emergency medical supplies, hmm, the kind from Ancestral Factory. I also hope the production team can do better in terms of safety precautions."

The person on the phone was about to say they weren’t lacking anything, but then hesitated at the last moment.

The program had plenty of funds, but Feng Yi’s investment could bring benefits that weren’t just financial. Not only online popularity but also the advantages associated with Feng Yi’s shareholder status in Ancestral Factory.

After pondering for a moment, the person on the phone replied, "They are not short of investment, but if you are interested, I can put you in touch with the production team."

Feng Yi noted down a phone number he was given.

"Who are the intended guests for this program?" he asked.

"The production team hasn’t finalized it yet; they should still be in the process of contacting people. All the guests have real talent and are not limited to the entertainment or sports industry."

Feng Yi understood. The production team was aiming for a high profile, eyeing those with significant fame. People like Feng Chi weren’t the top choices of the production team.

"All young people?" Feng Yi asked.

"Not all of them are young people in their twenties. The production team will also invite artists who have experience surviving the period of abnormal weather. It’s more prudent."

Considering that Feng Yi was to be an investor, effectively part of the production team, the person on the phone added, "As an investor, the production team might need you to help with publicity and promotion when the time comes."

"Sure thing."

As long as it didn’t involve long-term filming and only a few promotional events, Feng Yi was willing to cooperate.

After the call, Feng Yi handed the investment matters over to Yi to negotiate.

Feng Yi was joining, and though not as a guest, the production team happily agreed.

Their job was to meet the requirements given by the higher-ups and to make a good show. This "good" standard had to consider both reputation and numbers; being deficient in either was unacceptable.

They had sufficient funds, but who would complain about having too much money?

This generous investor, apart from having demands about safety, did not meddle in other aspects, such as program planning and proposals.

He was the kind of investor they liked.

They could proceed exactly as envisioned, with the best guests, the best team, without having to compromise the quality.

Beyond that, certain medications from Ancestral Factory were coveted by the production team. Reality adventure programs inherently have risks, and if they had more reliable medical support, any accident could be addressed immediately.

Thirdly, Feng Yi was a major attraction in his own right! Once the news was released, the attention would be even higher!

When they learned that Feng Yi wanted to invest, they even thought of ways to leverage his popularity for promotion!

With ample ammunition and solid logistics, they were like anglers holding fishing rods, casting bait into the pond, waiting for the big fish to bite.

Their targets were not those without notable works, whose popularity was merely based on data—that’s too insubstantial.

They sought "big fish" who had a firm standing, ideally with some international fame.

The higher-ups valued this program highly, and the production team hoped the first season would be particularly impressive!

Due to the uniqueness of the program, they did not initially actively approach potential guests; instead, they released some information first.

They needed volunteers, people who were proactive and had the capability and interest.

With Feng Yi joining, they added more bait to the pond, hoping to attract more big fish.

In a certain mountainous area.

Tong Da, an award-winning first-tier actor, finished a shoot and stepped into his nanny van to rest.

As a star known for his skills, he placed great emphasis on physical training, and his muscular physique was the envy of many peers.

He wasn’t just for show; he could really fight. Beyond the choreographed moves typical of screen fighting, he was just as capable in real combat.
