Chapter 435 Passion and Challenge

The one on the left is Keiko Kitagawa.

She made her official debut as an actress last year through the TV series "Sailor Moon". Her beautiful image left a deep impression on the public.

Keiko Kitagawa not only has outstanding looks, but also a very good figure, especially her golden lines, which are quite good among Japanese women.

More importantly, she has a great conscience, which is said to be D-level, worthy of being a beauty who was a model champion.

Another one is even more famous, Kyoko Fukada.

Known for her sweet image and excellent acting skills, she is the pure goddess in the eyes of many East Asian otakus.

She has appeared in works such as "God, Please Give Me More Time" and "Rich Man Detective", and is currently regarded as a quasi-first-line star in Japan.

As for Kyoko Fukada's representative work, Du Sheng didn't know it.

After all, he hasn't paid much attention to Japan's entertainment industry yet.

However, judging from his taste, Kyoko Fukada is indeed a beauty who has been twice dubbed the "Neon Goddess" by otakus.

Especially when she smiles, that sweetness seems to heal people's hearts and make people feel like spring breeze.

Japan seems to prefer women with this kind of temperament, such as Ayase Haruka.

Judging from the positions of the four guests, Suzuki Tani and Tanaka Takushi are in the center.

Kitagawa Keiko and Fukada Kyoko appear more humble.

This may be because of their positioning in the program, and participating in this variety show is more like an embellishment.

On the other hand, Suzuki Tani's senior background also makes him the focus of everyone's attention, as he has a high status among Neon comedians.

With the introduction of Hisahide Miyazawa, everyone got to know each other and immediately began to discuss the details of the program.

To Du Sheng's surprise, Ishikawa Aihara had actually hosted a Mandarin program, so he could speak some Mandarin. Although not fluently, there was no problem for both sides to communicate.

"We are about to go to a deserted island. We are not allowed to bring food or water. There may be sharks, crocodiles and other dangerous creatures around. We have to spend two days and two nights together..."

After the greetings, Ishikawa Aihara asked Du Sheng:
"Can you swim? Can you use tools to catch food?"

"I know a little bit."

"Can you cook? And survive in the wild?"

"I know a little bit."

Ishikawa Aihara asked questions continuously, and Du Sheng's answer was always "I know a little bit".

This made Ishikawa Aihara suspicious, as he was well aware of the modesty of the Chinese.

To say that you know a little bit about something is probably a good guess.

But who is good at everything?

He did not directly accuse Du Sheng of lying, but looked at Miyazawa Hisahide and Yukawa Sakurako.

Yukawa Sakurako had already been conquered by Du Sheng, and said with a bit of pride:

"Mr. Du is a talented person who is consistent in appearance and character, and he disdains deception.

If he says he understands, then he definitely understands!"

Ishikawa Aihara nodded and decided to verify it on the shore later, saying:
“Then, I will arrange the roles according to Du Jun’s abilities.

On the island, you are a hunting expert. Whether the entire team can survive on the deserted island for two days depends on your skills.

Suzuki Tani plays a comedic character who loves to lie but is timid, while Takushi Tanaka is a frivolous man who knows survival skills.

Kitagawa Keiko has a cold appearance and is not good at socializing, but she has a special affection for Du Jun and often fantasizes about him.

And Kyoko Fukada is a kawaii girl, who gradually develops a liking for Du Sheng after seeing his extraordinary abilities..."

Ishikawa Aihara explained in detail that although it is a reality show, the program still has fixed segments and scripts.

Everyone needs to prepare in advance to ensure a smooth shooting.

Du Sheng also benefited a lot from it.

Neon’s variety shows are very innovative and constantly bringing out new things, so there are always programs that are suitable for the audience.

Many programs in the mainland and Bay City in the past life were deeply influenced by it.

In comparison, the Oriental variety shows are a bit disappointing.

Once a variety show in Japan becomes popular, people will even start copying it.

All popular programs are either purchased from foreign copyrights or directly copied, and are often criticized by the audience.

But this does not mean that Orientals lack creativity.

With the same yellow skin and black hair, the imagination of the Japanese people is no different from that of Oriental people.

It’s all because of money!
Eastern variety shows need to sell naming rights, product placements, etc. in advance. In order to pursue high or even sky-high prices, even program times can be sold.

Although innovative programs have no shortage of sponsorship and advertising, it is difficult for them to sell at high prices, so the first choice is a successful program that has been proven by the market.

The system of Japanese variety shows is different. There is no sponsorship and few product placements. It mainly relies on local ratings, and copyright sales are the only way to make a profit.

Isn’t this the best imitator of domestic variety shows?
If you can’t copy it, just buy it. There are plenty of people who make fools of themselves anyway.

After discussing the script in the conference room for half an hour, everyone went to the coast to conduct a field rehearsal.

Du Sheng proved that he was not lying and he really knew a little bit about everything.

Although time was limited and the work was not fully displayed, it has already impressed people like Ishikawa Aihara.

Even the two beauties, Kitagawa Keiko and Fukada Kyoko, looked sideways from time to time.

Because they are well aware of the dangers of this variety show, and having an almighty strong person by their side is better than anything else.

In addition, the deserted island area chosen by the program team is covered with reefs and has rough waves, making it difficult to fish or collect seafood.

For the sake of the show's effect, the survival challenge is real and everyone needs to abide by the rules. If they can't persist, the challenge will fail.

From this perspective, Japanese artists have a harder life than Eastern artists, with lower income levels and higher work intensity.

Even in the face of hidden threats, we must work hard and without complaint.

Du Sheng thought of those young handsome guys in his previous life who cried loudly with their hands cut, or the tough guys who ate peaches...it's better not to mention them.

After everything was ready, Du Sheng returned to the hotel to pack his things for his trip. Kawa Sakurako wanted to go with him, but he declined.

This is not a vacation!

How can this young lady adapt to the difficult survival on such a deserted island?

On the bus to the filming location, Du Sheng chatted with Kyoko Fukada and Keiko Kitagawa in the front row.

The photographer has already started shooting now, and many lenses will probably be used.

“Where exactly are we going to shoot this?”

"This car has been driving for more than an hour, why hasn't it arrived yet?"

"That deserted island is too dangerous. I hope we can finish filming soon."

"It should be Tiger Shark Island. We will spend two days and two nights there."

"Tiger Shark Island?"

Du Sheng was surprised. This name sounded wild.

“Now you understand why no one wants to come to this show.”

Tiger Shark Island is worthy of its name, as there are schools of tiger sharks there, appearing and disappearing in the southwest waters.

After getting off the bus, the group boarded a fishing boat with more than 20 people from the program crew and slowly sailed towards an outlying island.

Swish!
Looking at the huge creature cruising not far away, not only were the two women frightened, but Du Sheng also raised his eyebrows.

Is this really a variety show?
The previous version of "Wild Man" was indeed awesome, but the host Bear Grylls was a special forces soldier who could survive in the extreme wilderness.

And they, almost all of them are ordinary people, are particularly vulnerable in the waters where tiger sharks are present.

Due to the limited space on the boat, Du Sheng saw the photographer next to him dozing off, so he simply picked up the camera and pointed it at Ishikawa Aihara:
"Mr. Ishikawa, why did you choose to come to Tiger Shark Island this time?"

The camera turns to the giant tiger shark over there:
"If you accidentally fall into the water, I'm afraid there won't be even bones left."

An adult tiger shark is usually three to four meters long and can weigh up to 500 kilograms. The longest can reach 5.5 meters and weigh up to 900 kilograms. It is a ferocious predator and its attacks on humans are second only to great white sharks.

However, tiger sharks have high economic value and excellent meat, which can be processed into a variety of meat products. The fins can be made into shark fins, the skin can be made into leather, the liver can be used to extract vitamins and oils, and the remaining part can be made into fish meal.

Ishikawa Aihara saw everyone looking at him and said with a smile:

"Our show is called 'Everyone's Escape'. What's the most exciting way to escape?

It's boring to just do small things. There are sharks and crocodiles here, which is exciting enough.

And it’s rare to have someone as strong as you, Du Jun, in this issue, so I plan to make it a special edition.”

Du Sheng: “…”

He was full of complaints and didn't know what to say.

"I climbed a cliff barehanded on another show before, without any safety measures."

Tanaka Takushi pointed over there:

"We are so far apart. As long as we don't provoke the tiger shark, it shouldn't attack us."

Kyoko Fukada and Keiko Kitagawa looked at each other, seeming to regret getting on board.

The production team didn't say before that we would come to such a dangerous place.

Du Sheng was speechless and turned to the skinny Tanaka Takushi:

"Mr. Tanaka, why are you willing to take risks?"

"Neighborhood's imported milk powder prices are the highest in the world, and domestic milk powder prices are the second highest in the world."

"What do you mean?"

Kyoko Fukada was a little confused.

"Oh, you missed the meetup and didn't hear my introduction."

Tanaka Takushi sucked his thumb and smiled like an aunt:
"I just became a father and my daughter is only one month old."

Du Sheng shook his head and remained speechless again.

Raising a baby is indeed a big challenge for families with low incomes.

Especially in Neon, high prices make it difficult to raise children, no wonder the population is experiencing negative growth.

"Mr. Suzuki, do you have to run around for milk powder too?"

"Haha, it would be nice if that were really possible."

Suzuki Tani patted his fat face, and then gently patted his belly under the life jacket:
"But I can barely support myself, so how can I have the qualifications to start a family?"

The topic was a bit heavy and Du Sheng didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Suzuki Ya clenched his fists tightly:
"Not only can I get paid for participating in 'Everyone's Escape', but I can also lose weight at the same time. It's the best of both worlds."

Du Sheng intended to give a close-up of this cute fat man, but the camera was taken over by Suzuki Tani and aimed at Kitagawa Keiko.

“Hello everyone! I’m Kitagawa Keiko. This time I came to “Everyone Escape” mainly to show a different side of me to my fans.

Passionate and challenging, uninhabited island, private and private! "

Du Sheng was confused. Why did the second half of the line sound so familiar?

It seems like this is the name of a certain anime action movie!

But the problem is that what we are filming now is a survival challenge, not men and women fighting naked on the island, and there is no pre-fabricated big bed.

"Du Jun, why did you participate?"

"Yingzi said that she was here for vacation this time. Do you think that's true?"

Du Sheng shrugged and said:
"I've never participated in such a novel and exciting variety show before, so it's nice to try something new."
