The live show only lasts for twenty days. However, a variety show usually needs to air for three months.
Twenty days is hardly enough to create lasting value before being abruptly cut off, which is an unprofitable deal for a variety show.
Luckily, they had invited seven guests. Including the special guests, there were ten in total.
The live broadcast couldn’t possibly be on all the time. Even if it was broadcast, with so many guests, the camera could only focus on one group at most. No matter how evenly you try to distribute it, there’s just not enough screen time to go around.
So, the overall show still lasts three months, but the later two months rely on video editing by the production team.
For example, during the bed rest segment, the production team knew the biggest highlight was in Xia Siyu and Bo Yan’s room, so they focused the ten-hour live broadcast on their room. But the production team couldn’t only give them camera time, and since they knew the main attraction was with their group, they gave them plenty of camera coverage while sleeping. Naturally, they would give more screen time to the other groups during the day.
The content without footage would naturally be the material for later editing. Even if they knew another group might be more interesting, they’d deliberately not broadcast it, waiting instead to edit and release it later.
Moreover, some of the mini-games set up by the production crew were generally played in the evening, late at night, or early in the morning.
At that hour, there weren’t many people watching live anyway, so the production team would just cut it off, starting the broadcast around the time when the guests were getting ready to sleep, which was around 11 p.m. Europe time, or 5 a.m. China time. The four or five hours in between were perfect for post-production mini-games.
The group watched the fireworks, and by the time it was over, it was already 9 p.m., equivalent to 3 a.m. in China.
This time, the production team finally wasn’t stingy and actually provided a bus to bring them back together. But it wasn’t out of pure kindness—they started playing a game as soon as they got back to the villa, Truth or Dare.
This was a cliché that had been overdone, but it had explosive appeal and juicy content, so the audience was always willing to watch; thus, it never failed.
However, Bo Yan was the first to express opposition—and strongly at that, “Truth is fine, but Dare is too much, isn’t it? Kissing too?”
Actually, the others also felt a bit uncomfortable, but none confronted the issue as directly as Bo Yan.
Xia Siyu, however, was completely unfazed, “Just kiss then.”
They were all working after all. Most here were actors, and if not actors, then at least they were from the entertainment industry. If they hadn’t acted in films, hadn’t they at least seen a pig run? In the show, they probably wouldn’t kiss with much real passion anyway; it’d probably just be a face touch or a brush, like the Italian cheek kissing greeting.
Anyway, she had already kissed Bo Yan, so kissing others wouldn’t make much difference.
When they heard her say this, everyone else instantly became more solemn. Wang Zisu’s face suddenly turned red, and he became a bit bashful, “Sister Siyu, I haven’t done a kissing scene before…”
As he spoke, his eyes darted quickly to Xia Siyu, then immediately lowered his head, his face growing even redder.
He wasn’t pretending to be innocent; Xia Siyu was truly his goddess. The opportunity to kiss his goddess, even if it was just a touch of the cheeks, would be blissful!
On the inside, Bo Yan was seething with irritation, but he had to suppress it on the surface, “Have you not considered what would happen if you ended up having to kiss someone of the same sex? For example, Xia Siyu and Zhou Weiwei, or me and you…”
