Who are you calling powerful?

The first stage task is to challenge a job.

The task of the second stage is to challenge the difficult problems of life.

The first two tasks are more of a challenge for the guests themselves. The third stage of the task is to return to nature and photograph passers-by who really face work and life.

The guests find a person on the street who is still working, try to communicate with him, participate in his work, and have dinner with him or go home for dinner.

Use a third-party perspective to truly enter the work and life of the masses.

Of course, as a variety show, it is inevitable to increase the difficulty, otherwise the points in the first two stages will be useless.

So the seven people put on makeup and did not bring a visible cameraman. They carried hidden shooting equipment and mobile phones, and the cameraman also concealed his whereabouts and took photos secretly.

The higher the points, the easier it is to put on makeup, and you can even choose your own outfit.

Those with low points have no choice but to have makeup artists come and make various obstacles.

For example, Sun Honglei and Wang Xun, who had the lowest cumulative scores, simply turned into tattered tramps.

It is extremely difficult for this kind of person to get close to him or even go to his house for dinner.

Of course, this is just a disguise. I am looking for some embarrassing information at first, but I will definitely find a way to expose it later.

Otherwise, if a stranger comes over to chat and have dinner with you out of nowhere, passers-by will definitely not do it.

"Extreme Challenge" is not demanding in this regard, as long as the materials and effects are available.

The game is secondary, the interactive effect presented by the guests and the purpose of the program that is close to people's lives and show the warmth and warmth of the world are the key.

Wei Yang's points are not low, and his disguise is not too complicated.

He turned into a middle-aged and elderly man who looked quite affluent, wearing a straw hat and glasses, with a darker complexion and a slight beard.

It may not be very bright on the street, but under the light, it is not difficult to recognize it at close range.

Huang Sanshi's attire was similar to his, so the two simply walked away together. Next to them was Wang Xun, a squirrel in a security uniform and a bearded attire.

The three of them were not in a hurry and strolled along the streets of Magic City. Wei Yang was still feeling a little emotional.

“It’s been a long time since I felt so comfortable running on the street.”

Huang Sanshi smiled and asked, "Afraid of recognition?"

"Part of it, but also busy. Sometimes I wish I could have forty-eight hours in a day. The few times I have free time, I just have fun and relax, spend time with my family, or just be by myself. I haven't experienced this kind of wandering on the street for several years. "

Huang Sanshi probably nodded his head: "I haven't gone shopping in a few years. I just wander around the community. I'm not as busy as you. But with children at home, I have less time for myself."

The same is true for Wang Xun. Due to his career and family, going out for shopping at night is also a luxury for him.

"How are you, how do you feel today?"

Wei Yang asked them what they thought. Today's program was still meaningful to him.

The first stage made him feel like he was in a trance before he started his career. Everyone had their own sufferings and setbacks.

Although the second stage is a joke, it is also somewhat real.

Especially for Huang Bo, Huang Sanshi and Sun Honglei, their parents refused to seek medical treatment, their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fought over the signature of the real estate, and it was difficult to study abroad. In essence, it was all about money.

Wei Yang and his wife had conflicts, Zhang Yixing took care of the baby, Wang Xun chose a house without being cheated, and Xiaozhu worked hard to catch the license plate.

The guests were laughing and joking, and the audience was laughing and joking, but behind the laughter was something that everyone had experienced at one time or another.

Life is essentially about moments of happiness and endless trivialities and problems...

"This show is doing well."

It wasn't just Wei Yang who was feeling emotional, Huang Sanshi was also a bit sad: "Most of the previous issues were just games, and they couldn't be reflected yet, but this issue has suddenly sublimated."

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. Just now, my child didn't have money to go to school. You guys chipped in the money for me, and I kind of took care of it. Oh, it's difficult."

Wang Xun also expressed his opinion: "I cleaned the windows for several hours at an altitude of tens of meters. Really, just this time, I think it would be a bit hypocritical for me to say that filming is hard and tiring in the future."

"There are indeed times when filming is hard and tiring, but our rewards are much higher than those in other industries."

Wei Yang shook his head. Sometimes actors' complaints are not hypocritical. Putting aside those delicate and expensive traffic, some actors really endure hardship.

After hanging the wire for a whole day, my whole body is sore. I wear a cotton-padded jacket in the summer and a single coat in the winter. I shoot outdoors for several hours. It makes people want to die. Staying up late and reversing their daily routines are commonplace. There are some diving, explosions, and martial arts. The scenes are even life-threatening...

But ordinary actors and some middle-level actors can call these hardships, forget it if they become famous stars.

Not to mention Wei Yang, Wang Xun's salary is enough for these employees who clean windows under the sun and dozens of meters above the ground to work for several years without food or drink.

With such a high rate of return, the sufferings of celebrities naturally turn into unnecessary moaning.

Why "Extreme Challenge" has such a high reputation? In addition to the excellent performance of several guests, another major reason is that it is willing to put the camera on the general public.

It allows the audience to see the fireworks of the world and the humanistic care hidden behind the laughter and slapstick.

This is something that Boss Wei appreciates very much. He even speculated that Yan Min deliberately designed such an episode for him when he came to participate in the show.

This is not to make things difficult, but to allow Boss Wei to actually experience the deep charm of this program and even feel the various long-term impacts it is expected to have.

In terms of data and level of earning money, "Extreme Challenge" may not be as good as "Run".

But this program will allow Blue Whale and PPTV to establish an insurmountable monument in the history of domestic variety shows, which no amount of money can buy.

"We'll have to provide more resources later."

Wei Yang murmured in his heart, seeing that the time was almost up, everyone began to split up.

Originally, Wei Yang wanted to go to some places that were open at night to see if he could earn a living by brushing his face, but when he was passing by a park, Wei Yang suddenly stopped in his tracks when he saw an old lady bending over to pick up bottles from the trash can. .

"Grandma, do you need help?"

The old lady looked at Wei Yang with some doubts, and Wei Yang, who saw clearly what he was wearing, knew that she might have misunderstood.

Although he is "picking up rags", his clothes are not shabby, but very clean, his hair is neat, and his skin is fair. He does not look like an old man scavenging in the traditional sense.

This is also understandable. After all, Shanghai is an international city and will help some homeless people and elderly scavengers and other needy groups.

Therefore, most of the old scavengers in Shanghai work part-time, and there are some who make a living from this, but it is not as miserable as many people imagine.

I can't guarantee whether there are any omissions, but at least the person in front of me is not the kind of pitiful old man in the sad novels who takes out the garbage and scoops leftover apples for his children.

"No, dirty."

Although the old man was confused, he instinctively tried to dissuade him, but Wei Yang ignored him: "It's okay. You are so old and can't see clearly in the dark. I'll help you."

Wei Yang rolled up his sleeves, borrowed gloves from the old lady, helped to turn over the bottles, and chatted about household chores while the two disguised photographers quietly found a good spot nearby.

"Grandma, I am alone. Where is my wife?"

"Gone a few years ago."

The old lady didn't recognize Wei Yang. Seeing him referring to her as grandma, she corrected him unhappily: "You're not much younger than me, so don't call her grandma."

"Then let me call you aunt."

Wei Yang couldn't call her old sister, so he chose a middle-of-the-road title. The old lady didn't object. Wei Yang picked up the bottle, and she packed it away and put it in her bag, chatting with Wei Yang who was looking for a topic.

Just as Wei Yang guessed, this old lady was not some homeless old man.

She lived in a nearby residential community. She was a worker in her early years, and later she became a housewife after being laid off. Her husband died. She was usually bored at home, so she came to the park here to dance in the evening.

Bring a bag, gloves, sleeves, etc. when you come. After dancing, go back slowly and pick up some bottles along the way to supplement your family income.

"After saving for a month, I will not be short of firewood, rice, oil and salt. I can also buy some delicious food for my grandchildren."

The old lady was a little proud when she talked about this, but at her age, she didn't have much ability. Not being a burden to the children and being able to earn some money on your own is already very good.

"You can get by!"

Wei Yang gave a thumbs up. The old lady was happy and willing to talk to him more.

"Are you a grandchild?"

Wei Yang was stopped by the question and coughed lightly: "I'm not married yet."

"You're not married at such an old age?"

The old lady was extremely surprised and looked at him with some pity: "Is there something wrong with your health?"

"No, it's just...how to put it, well, it's hard to put it into words."

With this sigh, the old lady immediately became energetic. She stopped picking up the bottle and stared at Wei Yang with burning eyes.

"What's going on? Tell me."

Wei Yang couldn't laugh or cry when he saw the old lady's typical melon-eating posture, so he made an excuse at random.

"There's nothing to say. It's all in the past. I'm used to it now."

When Wei Yang said this, he didn't know what the old lady was thinking, so she looked at him sympathetically.

"You are a poor person too. No wonder you are talking to me, an old lady."

Wei Yang continued: "No, no one cares, no one asks, and I don't even get a warm meal when I get home."

"Where are your family members?"

"In my hometown, I work here and I can't see you all year round."

The old lady's eyes became more and more sympathetic. After all, she still had her children by her side, and they came to see her from time to time. Her grandchildren even moved in with her during the summer vacation.

The old man in front of him has no children and is all alone. Gee, it's so miserable.

Wei Yang was originally worried about how to earn a living, but when he saw the old lady's sympathy, he finally found a breakthrough. He kept trying to get close to her and sold him miserably. With just a hint, the old lady took the initiative to invite him to her home for dinner.

"You also helped me pick up so many bottles. I'll pay you for your meals."

Wei Yang tried to catch him: "You are not afraid that I am a bad person and will lead the wolf into the house."

"I'm not stupid. I can tell that you are a responsible person. Besides, I don't have anything at home, and I am so old. What am I afraid of you doing?"

"Having said that, you have to be careful in the future and don't bring people home casually."

Although Wei Yang wanted to make a living, he still had to be reminded that this old lady was too vigilant and she would have to run into him. What if she met a real liar?

"fine!"

The old lady smiled and said, "The neighbor across from our house is a policeman, both father and son are policemen. Ordinary bad guys really don't dare to touch our door."

Good guy, I have the confidence to do so!

Wei Yang felt relieved and followed the old lady home while chatting and laughing. He passed by the supermarket in front of the community and bought a carton of milk, a few bags of fruit and cooked food, despite the old lady's dissuasion.

The requirement of the show is to have a meal, but it does not say that the guests cannot bring food or buy gifts for the first time. This is not Boss Wei's style.

"I agreed to treat you to a meal in exchange for your wages, and now you spend money to buy things."

The old lady was a little dissatisfied, so Wei Yang persuaded her with a smile: "We and I are in love, let's not talk about it."

"What kind of girl are you considering your age?"

The old lady muttered and led Wei Yang in. The area was small and the furniture was a bit old, but it was very clean.

"Sit, sit, sit."

Wei Yang was invited by the old lady to sit down and took off his hat. The lights in the living room were much brighter than in the park. He was already at home, so there was no need for Wei Yang to continue pretending, and there were two photographers at the door.

"Auntie, do you know me?"

Wei Yang asked the old lady to look at him, and the latter looked at him with a flash of hesitation: "It looks familiar, but I can't remember it."

"..."

Wei Yang was a little hurt. Although he was not so arrogant that everyone in China knew him, his title as the King of Ratings was not for nothing. He had some influence even among the elderly.

"You don't usually watch TV series?"

"look."

Wei Yang took off his beard and glasses: "You can recognize me this time."

The old lady now remembered that maybe people like "Celebrating More Than Years" and "Nirvana in Fire" didn't like to watch it, but they had watched "My Love from the Star", which was popular all over the country and was well-known to women and children.

"Are you that... alien professor?! What's your name? Gu Yang."

"Wei Yang."

Wei Yang corrected him, then apologized, and explained that the concealment just now was because of the filming of the show. He hoped that the old lady wouldn't mind, and the show team would give him a beautiful gift as compensation.

The old lady didn't understand what a variety show was, but she grasped the key point: "You mean I'm on TV, right?"

"right!"

"Oops, I should change my clothes."

The old lady was a little annoyed. After he came back from dancing, he changed into clothes specially made for picking up bottles. They were not dirty or torn, but they were definitely not that pretty.

"You can change now. I'll call the cameraman. We can record again while we have dinner."

When Wei Yang called the photographer, the old lady actually changed her clothes, then cooked two dishes, and had dinner with Wei Yang. During this period, Wei Yang also chatted with her about her daily family and life. .

Frankly speaking, although the old lady's condition is not bad, it is not that good, but she is personally very optimistic.

He is kind and respectful to his children and grandchildren, and he does not wear colored glasses when it comes to his work of picking up bottles. Perhaps in front of "TV", he cooperates in praising the government and the times.

But from the smile on his face, it can be seen that these words are still somewhat sincere.

After all, for these older generations, today's life is indeed unimaginable at the beginning.

What made Wei Yang a little strange was that the old lady kept looking at him as he spoke, with a look of scrutiny and appreciation in her eyes from time to time. After finishing the meal, the old lady took out the photo album at home and introduced the family members to Wei Yang.

Except for the deceased wife who mentioned a few more words, the others flashed by and then highlighted a pretty girl.

"How about it, my eldest granddaughter, isn't she beautiful?"

"pretty."

Wei Yang nodded, already having a bad feeling. Sure enough, the old lady turned into a matchmaker.

"Not only is she beautiful, she also has a good academic background. I heard that she is a graduate student who is going to be an intern in a big company soon. She will earn a lot. My parents don't have to worry about it. My daughter and son-in-law have pensions..."

Wei Yang finally escaped, although he had already shown that he was not single.

But the old lady thinks this guy is pretty good. You can make friends first without falling in love. Happiness is something you have to fight for. Maybe they will break up one day.

The last few guests gathered together to share their thoughts on today's program, sublimate the theme, and finally ended the recording.

It was nearly midnight when we were recording. Everyone was a little tired, so we stopped gathering and went back to our homes.

Wei Yang didn't ask the driver to take him there. Producer Zhao Liying took him home in person. He couldn't help but feel sour and jealous on the way.

"Okay, Boss Wei is very charming. Record a show, flirt with a wife, and someone will introduce you to someone. I think the boss lady this morning was quite nice to you."

Wei Yang sat spread out in the back seat: "So you have to get some snacks and watch more closely to prevent me from being abducted."

"hehe."

Zhao Liying sneered, Wei Yang was a little dissatisfied, this girl is getting more and more arrogant, wait for me to take a break today, and let you take a sick leave tomorrow...
