In a country where there are no smartphones and the Internet is still in its infancy, there are not many night activities in this era.
Especially in rural areas, power outages sometimes occur from time to time in summer.
So going to bed early, making friends, or taking advantage of the cool night to exchange information became the main activities.
But today is different. After the two episodes of "Peerless Twins" ended, the audience began to take an intermission.
They were discussing Hua Wuque and Xiao Yuer.
At the same time, I am also waiting for the "Extreme Challenge" at 10 o'clock.
As mentioned before, outdoor reality show variety shows such as "Extreme Challenge" may have appeared in developed countries in Europe and the United States.
But this is the first time in the country.
Even if it has happened before, it has been too long ago. Nowadays, "Extreme Challenge" is the only one on so many satellite TV stations across the country, so it can be regarded as the first time.
And now it's ten o'clock in the evening again, so the sparsely populated scene on the street similar to when "Return of the Pearl 2" started airing appears again.
This is a good thing for Blue TV, Stars and Sea and related advertisers, but it is a nightmare for other TV stations and variety shows.
Today, "Extreme Challenge" is placed at 10 o'clock, because it is to rush into the ratings of "The Best of Us", which is easy to understand.
"Peerless Twins" is premiering, and "Extreme Challenge" already has a foundation, so there won't be much of a problem with it.
But what about the future?
If the avant-garde, advanced, and high-cost gameplay of "Extreme Challenge" continues, will other variety shows still survive?
Therefore, many satellite TV stations have already made preparations for the winter after the first episode of "Extreme Challenge" was released.
However, Lan Tai, or Jiang Yan's idea surprised them.
Because it's ten o'clock, the narrator said.
This is the final episode of the first season of "The Gauntlet".
When the media people and TV people heard this, a big question mark suddenly popped up in their minds.
The last issue? Why is this?
Then I noticed that "the first quarter" is a new term again. So, is there no such thing as this quarter, or this year?
Everyone was puzzled at this moment.
And the audience was also very puzzled.
There is no such thing as the first or second season of a variety show in this era. It doesn’t stop as soon as it starts airing, just like a news broadcast.
So the finale of "Extreme Challenge" just started?
The ratings weren't necessarily bad either.
Many people expressed doubts, but they could only keep their doubts in their hearts because the show started.
Soon He Ji, Wu Zongxian, Lin Kun and the two protagonists Jiang Yan and Xiao Zhi, a total of five people appeared in the empty arena.
After a simple but lively opening, Jiang Yan revealed today’s theme, which is basketball.
This is what was agreed in the last issue, Jiang Yan will use the projects he is good at to play with Xiaozhi.
Of course Xiaozhi couldn't play, so Jiang Yan also called a group of foreign aids in a gentlemanly manner, and everyone picked it by themselves, which was fair and just.
After a very variety show-like opening dialogue, the program officially began.
The first is the cheerleading team, which is an audience of more than 500 people.
Everyone wore uniform red and blue clothes and entered the venue in an orderly manner.
However, there were thousands of people watching this scene on TV. In the shot with special effects, the red and blue army was simply huge.
In addition, the resolution of TV sets in this era is not very high, so the audience really can’t tell the real thing from the fake one unless they look carefully, so everyone’s first reaction is almost always: Wow, what a big production!
Lantai has really spent a lot of money!
At this time, many TV people who didn't know much about the truth were also thinking, no wonder "Extreme Challenge" stopped airing after only three episodes. With this kind of gameplay, you can still make a dime by playing a few more episodes.
But having said that, this kind of gameplay is really exciting. The visual effects are so awesome that you can’t even copy them from the book.
So everyone is very happy that this episode of "Extreme Challenge" will no longer be aired, which gives us a way to survive.
The program continued, and after the audience entered the venue, celebrities from all walks of life appeared.
Star players such as Wu Jing, Chen Daomin, Zhang Fengyi, and Yan Zu, as well as celebrity friends of Jiang Yan and Xiaozhi such as Li Zi, Zhou Zhiruo, and Yu Feihong, as well as well-informed stars such as Jin Suo.
Although many actors and stars are juniors, the overall look is still star-studded.
So the TV people felt happy again.
You can't afford the rich-style gameplay...
But this is not over yet, because next comes the real heavyweight players.
The national six-person group, Dayao, Dazhi, Hu Weidong, etc.
NBA Lakers six-man team, Kobe Bryant, Fisher, etc.
All the players are in place, and those who are quick-thinking will do the math and realize, my dear, if this issue is based on the market price, there is no way it can be done without a thousand dollars.
And this can’t be done with money. Can the national team be hired if you have money?
So many people looked at Jiang Yan who was chatting and laughing with the national team coach on TV.
Sure enough, Jiang Yan's background is quite impressive and he can't be offended...
However, some people know that they can't be offended so they turn to be friends with them, but some people just like this.
This important weapon of the country, you use it for entertainment? Do you know that you are going to lose it?
However, Jiang Yan and other hosts then announced that all the income this time would be invested in the construction and development of national sports and would be subject to supervision from all walks of life.
Okay, this is no longer dark.
In addition, Jiang Yan is really wealthy.
How much does this cost?
No wonder he stopped playing after three episodes, he was just "playing"! This gap in levels made the TV people feel helpless, and at the same time, they all became grateful to Jiang Yan.
After all, if he hadn't played like this for a while, everyone wouldn't be able to broaden their horizons.
The future direction of variety shows is probably to copy from abroad.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that food, clothing, and food are enough for parents.
On TV, the program continues.
As I said before, the Star Basketball Game is three rounds.
The first round shows the difference between ordinary people and professional players.
The second round of bronze battle king.
While these two rounds were full of fun, they also made everyone aware of the gap between professionals and amateurs.
In addition, the scene where Jiang Yan and Xiaozhi communicated seamlessly with NBA players in English also made many people envious.

Therefore, many celebrities in front of the TV also want to learn some languages.
But overall, what really pleased the audience the most in these two rounds was that the attitude of those NBA stars towards Jiang Yan was so good.
The same goes for the players and the staff of the NBA team. They talk and laugh happily and get along with each other very freely.
The camera also gave some interviews to people at the right time, and they said, I am a fan of Joey.
Now it's better, national pride is soaring...
Two rounds of interesting game sessions are over.
When the audience thought that what was about to be staged was a much more intense official match.
"Extreme Challenge" once again allowed them to see what a super variety show is.
NBA-style editing, countless camera positions, various replays that seem to know what the audience is thinking, and movie-level shots.
And the lights, the stadium atmosphere and the roar of thousands of people.
And that game where every second counts and is so exciting that you can even hold back your pee.
Just for these alone, the production cost is estimated to be several million more.
Finally, the third round ended when Jiang Yan hit a three-pointer at the buzzer.
Colorful ribbons were falling all over the sky.
The host's narration sounded.
Cheer for the men’s basketball players who are fighting hard in the Neon Asian Championships!
Then came the farewell.
See you next season!
The program ends.
At this moment, all TV people finally know why there are only three episodes of "Extreme Challenge".
He really wants to leave a way for them to survive!
Thank you for not killing me!
But after thanking me, I felt distressed again.
After the audience has seen a variety show of this level, can they watch anything else?
