Chapter 1351 – Pilot Episode

“Come, Son. Call Daddy... Daddy...” Feng Yu played with his son.

“Our children are still young. You still need to wait a while before they can call you.” Li Na carried her son from Feng Yu, who is throwing him up and down. She rolled her eyes. How can you toss your son so high? What if he falls?

“But they know how to call you Mummy.” Feng Yu replied.

“Who ask you not to spend time at home? You should be glad they are not crying when you carry them.”

“Who am I?! I am their Dad. They will not treat me as a stranger. Am I right? My pretty girl? Ah... Dear, she wet herself!”

“Let me carry her and get her diapers.” So Li Na carried their daughter and started to change her diapers.

Feng Yu went to get a diaper and said. “Don’t worry. I should be free these few days and will accompany you all.”

As they were chatting, Feng Yu’s phone rang. It’s Kameda Masao. He looks at Li Na embarrassingly.

“Go ahead if you are busy.”

Li Na is used to it. At least Feng Yu is not as busy as her colleagues’ family members. Her colleague’s husband is making sales, and he spends less than three days a month at home when he is busy.

“Kameda, what’s wrong?”

“Boss, Discovery had watched our first two episodes of <Wind and Rain – Man VS. Wild>, and they will be airing a pilot episode to see the response. If the response is good, they will buy the broadcasting rights at a higher price. So the second option is to sell the pilot episode broadcasting rights directly, but it will be at a lower price.”

Kameda Masao had watched the episodes, but he has never seen such concepts before, and he doesn’t know how to rate them. Personally, he is not interested in such shows and had asked others for their opinions. Some said it’s nice, and some dislike it.

If Kameda Masao had produced this show, he will choose the second option and sell the rights. This is the best option as what Discovery is paying them can cover their cost. In addition, they will get profits from selling the broadcasting rights to other Chinese TV stations and the internet.

But Feng Yu is very confident of this show, and Kameda Masao is worried he will be unhappy if he sells it at a lower price.

“Let them go ahead, and we will air the first episode on the internet simultaneously. We will use them how popular this show is. Kameda, you must be confident of this show. Firstly, Bear Grylls’s status as a best-selling author retired special force soldier, and explorer can attract many viewers. Many people dream of being like him. Secondly, the contents of this show are not what you can see in other programs. It’s more realistic than those movies, and people love them.”

Someone said Military Enthusiasts are the most loyal fans, and all of them dream of being an explorer. Explorer is a cool occupation!

“Boss, I will let them air the pilot episode then. Oh, do you want to watch the show first? Then, I will send the download link to your mailbox. After that, you can download it.”

“Sure. Send it to me.”

Feng Yu also want to see how Bear Grylls will fare in this life. The footage should be poorer, but it should be more realistic.

It’s easier to attract viewers if it is more realistic. This show will be successful if it can attract a group of loyal fans.

The viewers will recommend this show to their friends if they enjoy it.

After hanging up, Feng Yu checked his mailbox and downloaded the show. Yes. He needs to use a proxy server to download it.

“Dear, are you busy now? Do you want to watch a new show with me?” Feng Yu asked.

“I am coaxing those two to sleep. What is this new show?” Their nanny is on rest today, and Feng Yu’s parents had gone for a vacation. That’s why Li Na has to do everything herself.

“I had gotten someone to produce it, and I guarantee you have never seen anything like this before!” Feng Yu proudly replied.

The show had finished downloading when the kids fell asleep. Feng Yu is speechless about the internet speed in China. He is using the fastest internet speed and staying in the best neighborhood in Beijing.

Feng Yu must speak to the telecommunication departments to increase the internet speed. They don’t need to be as fast as Korea, but they must not be so slow.

The Korean broadcasting website acquired by Sohu Channel is doing well. Still, users have to wait for hours to download the video in China.

“Huh? This is an overseas show in English?”

“Yes. It is filmed by an English team and will be aired on Discovery. It will also be aired on our CCTV and Sohu Channel.”

The program started and immediately caught Li Na’s attention. Two people, who look like tourists, are lost in a desert, and they only have some commonly seen items in their backpacks.

Feng Yu is curious. Where is the equipment he prepared for them? Those are what Bear Grylls requested, and why is he not using it?

But Feng Yu understood it after watching for a while. This is to make it more realistic. Ordinary tourists will not bring survival gears with them.

“We need to conserve our water. If possible, we need to find a water source. Water loss is higher in the desert, and we can get dehydrated fast....”

Bear Grylls explained the situation in front of the camera. His partner will hold the DV, and sometimes, he will hold it himself.

This is an 8-men team, but only two of them appeared in front of the camera. The rest should be standing outside of the frame.

The rest of the team should be carrying the equipment. But, unfortunately, they do not have any modern transportation and must carry the survival gears with them.

“These two are trying to cross the desert by themselves? Didn’t he say it will take two days to cross it? How are they going to spend the night there? Will they fall into a quicksand pit?” Li Na asked nervously.

Feng Yu looks at Li Na speechlessly. But, of course, this is only a show. Can you don’t be so serious? But this also means this show is not bad. The editor had done a good job.

“Don’t worry. They should be able to cross the desert successfully, and they are an 8-men team. So although they are not carrying too many things, they have all the necessary survival tools.” Feng Yu replied.

Feng Yu called Kameda Masao after watching the show and told him it’s nice and realistic. If the rest of the episodes are as exciting as this, the viewership will be high!
