Chapter 712: Chapter 456: Worried?_1

Feng Yi hadn’t even entered the house when he closed the door. The person responsible for guarding the door gave him a puzzled look.

Feng Yi’s expression was natural, "Suddenly remembered that I still have some material to write up. Need to go back to my room to write."

After a short pause, Feng Yi added, "I took a quick look earlier, and the filming atmosphere inside seemed pretty good, very lively."

As people occasionally entered and exited, the door guard knew a bit about the progress inside, so he said:

"Since the heating is limited, it’s too cold, and the crew suggested that they warm up the place. The guests are all talented and resourceful, that’s no challenge for them. They should be doing warm-up performances inside right now, I just heard some singing. Are you sure you don’t want to go inside and take a look?"

Feng Yi didn’t really want to watch.

He maintained a cautious attitude towards "warm-up performances" and didn’t have too many pleasant imaginings about it.

Feng Yi said, "I won’t disturb their work, in case it affects their performance."

Inside the house.

Feng Chi’s devilishly captivating warm-up had the other guests laughing so hard they almost rolled off the large heated brick bed.

Sitting on the side, Tong Da had seen plenty of the industry’s "eccentrics" over the years and could usually keep it in, just smiling and watching. But just now, when Feng Yi opened the door, with a look as if his spirit had been tainted, opening and closing the door swiftly and decisively, Tong Da couldn’t hold back a laugh.

Feng Chi, totally engrossed in his performance, didn’t even notice Feng Yi had been there. The warm-up atmosphere had also become lively.

As the cold wave progressed, the crew inside the monitoring station became even busier.

What they needed to film was life against the backdrop of a cold wave, simulating responses to various crises, such as heating pressure, food shortages, and medical needs in case of sickness or injury...

Of course, the sickness and injury part was dramatized, not necessarily real. If someone actually got seriously ill or injured, they would definitely pause filming.

Under these simulated adversities, the guests needed to perform corresponding tasks to continue "surviving," and sometimes they also had to make tough choices.

For example, in a segment where centralized heating stopped, with no supply of gas or coal and no wood prepared, with no external aid available for the time being. The guests had to save themselves by looking for other combustible items indoors for heating and cooking food, like certain pieces of furniture or books, and so on.

Some young guests used cans rich in fat and tissues to ignite a flame for boiling water and cooking food, which could also be eaten after the cans were emptied.

But older people like Tong Da placed a higher value on fat.

"Fat is very important and has many uses. We need to cherish it a bit more."

Tong Da chose to burn books, the ones that didn’t matter.

Of course, in the program, they weren’t real books but props that only had book covers. A whole bookshelf was set up.

The crew wanted to see which books the guests would choose to burn first when faced with such a situation at last.

After outdoor temperatures plummeted to below negative fifty degrees Celsius and then rebounded to the negative forties.

Inside the house, the difference wasn’t much felt. Those who adapted didn’t care, while those who didn’t kept facing situations, just as before.

This was also a reflection of reality, for the effect of the program.

Still, watching the numbers indicating temperature changes was quite shocking inside.

As someone from the south, where it was sometimes possible to wear short sleeves outdoors during the winter, Feng Chi really wasn’t accustomed to such cold, but he managed to endure it thanks to his physique, and beyond that...

"I still have a warm heart!"

Feng Chi threw up a heart sign at the camera.

He intended to lift both arms above his head to make a big heart, but he was dressed too thickly, limiting his movement, so he could only use his gloved fingers to make a small, fuzzy outline of a heart.

During these days when the cold wave hit, the filming by the crew, in general, went smoothly. Even if some issues arose, they were all within controllable limits.

When the temperature began to rise, watching it bounce back to above negative forty degrees, all the guests felt a touching sense of having survived a calamity.

For people like Feng Chi who were experiencing this kind of environment for the first time, the impact was the most profound.

Negative thirty-something degrees, which they would have avoided in the past. Perhaps they were curious, or perhaps they would go for the experience of participating in some interesting activities, but definitely with full gear and without concerns for heating or supplies.

After being "tortured" by the cold wave and the program crew, they found a new courage inside— I’m someone who has endured negative fifty degrees!

Mere negative thirty degrees, what’s there to fear!

"Survivors" first episode aired on Jing City TV, and at the same time, it was also streamed on multiple video platforms.

The guest lineup had already attracted many fans, and the crew’s promotion also made many passersby curious enough to tune in to watch. Especially since the crew drummed up interest by using Feng Yi as a topic of conversation.

Feng Chi had been prepared for not having much screen time, but to his surprise, while the footage wasn’t much, it did attract viewers.

For example, when Feng Yi arrived at the monitoring station and approached, Feng Chi was squatting at the door, sitting side by side with a dog.

The microphone he wore recorded clearly the sound of both human and dog teeth chattering in unison.

This clip was even turned into an emoticon by netizens.

Moreover, that warm-up performance of his.

When he wriggled wrapped in a blanket, the post-production team gave him a snake’s tail.

They also took a screenshot, and placed it next to Feng Yi’s artistic modeling for comparison.

Original version VS Modified version

Netizens—

[HAHAHAHAHA]

[An interesting contrast between ideal and reality]

[Seeing the modified version, I just want to shout ’Daweitianlong’ ( a powerful Buddhist mantra)!]

[Suddenly reminded me of those counterfeit figurines that disappeared overnight on the shopping platforms.]

[Ah, am I the only one who thinks Feng Chi’s meme version is actually quite nice? No disrespect to Feng Yi, but sometimes pursuing realism too much can be a bit scary.]
