Chapter 262 This name is worth two points.
"21 Days of Primal Survival", "Survival 1+1", "The Last Thing", "Wild Couple" and so on were all very popular wilderness survival programs in the past life.
However, in this world without Bear Grylls and Derek Lauer, these wonderful programs did not appear. But when Bifang launched the concept of wilderness survival in the form of live entertainment and achieved great success, it was as if the Ren and Du meridians of the world were opened up, and all minds were enlightened.
The Discovery Channel is the best among them. It has been doing a lot of fun as soon as it appeared. Following Bifang's 21 Days Survival at Sea, it launched a new program, Wilderness Arena.
Many wilderness survivors compete on the same stage and take on a wilderness survival challenge that lasts for 300 hours, or twelve days.
During this time, there will be no rewards for those who are eliminated. The rankings will then be determined by the remaining participants and scored by Bifang. The first place will receive a reward of 100,000 gold coins, the second place will receive 50,000, and the third place will receive 10,000, including full medical expenses.
If no one remains, no reward will be given.
This is a cruel competition system, but also a tempting one.
The first place winner will receive $100,000 in cash, which is a very generous reward. In addition, the program crew will cover all medical and travel expenses, so it is completely $100,000 at your disposal.
As for Bifang, he played multiple roles throughout the show, including commentator, security consultant responsible for handling any possible crisis situations, and final judge.
There is more than one judge, but Bifang is the most powerful judge with the final right of interpretation and decision-making. Other judges only have the right to make suggestions, which shows how much Discovery Channel values him.
On the one hand, Bifang is so famous and has done many famous deeds. If an ordinary person were to encounter one of these deeds, he would be able to live a full life. But when all these things happen to one person, this person becomes synonymous with legend.
And from any perspective, Bifang is also an expert in crisis management. There is almost nothing he cannot solve. No matter how desperate the situation is, he can always turn danger into safety and bring his reputation to a higher level.
A restaurant in Ugly Country.
Bifang met Jarrett and Pondi again. As one of the programs with high expectations, the producer of this program is naturally Jarrett. Moreover, he and Bifang have a cooperative foundation and are very suitable partners.
As soon as they met, Jarrett showed off the two sentences of Chinese he had just learned.
"Happy New Year, Mr. Bi."
Even though the other person's Chinese smelled of garlic, Bifang still praised him, "Your Chinese is good."
Speaking of this, Jarrett's eyebrows lit up, this was the result of his one month's study, and it really worked very quickly. He wanted to continue showing off immediately, but was interrupted by Bifang's fluent English.
It’s better for foreigners to forget about learning Chinese as it is a torture to their ears.
Jarrett sat down and handed over the menu: "Have you seen the list?"
"I've seen them, they're all very impressive people."
Bifang took the menu and ordered two dishes at random. There were 16 contestants in total, and most of them had relevant experience. 12 of them had military service, and he still remembered several of them clearly.
There is no need to say much about Mugalen, who is a deer hunter. Bifang has already seen him. He is a very experienced hunter and a strong contender for the top spot.
Besides him, there are many other noteworthy players.
Bono Cross was originally a member of the U.S. Army. He later joined the Rangers and became one of the elite special forces. He is proficient in various fighting skills and has experience in wilderness survival. He has strong military qualities.
Dorigon Hawke, a member of the elite firefighting team of Canada's National Forest Park, is responsible for forest protection and wild animal protection. He once confronted a brown bear over two meters tall and managed to escape successfully. The thrilling experience was even more thrilling than the first time Bifang faced a black bear in a live broadcast. He is an awe-inspiring nature fighter.
In addition, many of them are experienced hunters, and there is even a Chinese who retired from the Armed Police Brigade and has combat capabilities comparable to those of special forces.
To be honest, Bifang was very surprised when he first saw the list, because this is a program about an ugly country, and he didn't expect to meet one of his own.
He immediately started thinking. If this person had strong enough ability to survive in the wild, he wanted to see if he could recruit this person to be an instructor in his own club, as he happened to be short of a lot of people.
After all, not all people in the army are proficient in survival, just like not everyone is Bear Grylls.
"Has the specific broadcast time of the show been arranged?"
Jarrett nodded. "Three days from now, the show will officially begin at 10 a.m. in the Rocky Mountains. These people will be randomly airdropped, just like when you landed on the sea. We'll let the four-man team capture them one by one."
Rocky Mountains?
Bifang nodded and said it was a good place.
If I remember correctly, Bear Grylls seemed to have been there in his previous life. There are mountains, water, wild animals, and five national parks, which shows how "wild" it is.
As for the four-member group, Bifang is still optimistic about them. Although their performance was very funny the first time, that was because they met him, and it was not their fault.
"And the competition system of our program has changed." Jarrett suddenly said, and he handed over a map. "In order to increase the fun, our program team has also built a cabin in the forest. There are some survival supplies in it, but not much. It can provide help, and you won't lose points if you find it, but you won't get any extra points either."
Bifang raised his eyebrows, feeling very surprised.
He took the map and found that the locations were marked on it. The green one was the location of the cabin, and the red one was where the contestants would be airdropped.
“It’s quite interesting.”
Bifang couldn't help but want to see how this group of people performed.
It is definitely a difficult challenge for sixteen people to survive in the forest for twelve days, but he believes that someone among them will be able to hold on.
Moreover, many of the people here are quite close to each other, which I think is a test given by the program crew.
The competition system does not require you to fight alone, you can form a team, but it clearly states that such behavior will result in point deductions. The more people form a team, the more points will be deducted. If you want to win, you need to work harder.
Hunting prey, the safety index of setting up a camp, whether one can escape directly, and the status index after survival are all plus points. If team members want to get first place, they must weigh the pros and cons .
"So you just gave me this distribution map? Aren't you afraid that I might leak it?"
Bifang was holding this "airdrop picture" and was surprised at the trust the program team had in him.
Unexpectedly, Jarrett laughed and said, "It's only one hundred thousand US dollars. Is it worth it, Mr. Bi? If you want our channel, we can give it to you directly."
indeed.
Bifang himself was amused by his own thoughts. One hundred thousand US dollars is a lot for ordinary people, but with his current net worth, he really doesn't take it seriously.
"I'll have to trouble you a lot, Mr. Bi. With your coming, our show will be invincible."
Jarrett and Pondy raised their glasses and toasted. In their opinion, Bifang's coming was the greatest support for them.
If there are three points for the ratings, then the name Bifang is worth two points, and the remaining point is the bonus of the wilderness survival theme.
Bifang also raised his glass, feeling a little emotional in his heart.
When he first started live streaming on Shark, he still had to rely on Ling Xuefeng to attract traffic. Unexpectedly, half a year later, he had become the most popular one.
Things have really changed.
