All kinds of reasonable yet unpredictable developments!

Especially when you think about it, these shows are not just filmed movies but real events happening in reality, it feels even more interesting.

After eliminating contestant number 12, the manager and an employee of the Guide Office, worried about causing trouble, decided to cancel Wu Mu's commission.

Sasaki Taro stared at the TV, wondering what the Hua Country celebrity would do next, and whether he'd lose the help of the red-light district's Guide Office.

But at that moment, the screen cut away again.

It switched back to the footage of other contestants.

"Why didn't they continue broadcasting Wu Mu's scenes! What's going to happen to him next, finish broadcasting that first!" Sasaki Taro said exasperatedly.

This is just deliberately leaving us hanging.

The footage of these other contestants was very interesting before, with outstanding performances.

But compared to that Hua Country celebrity... in terms of attractiveness, they were completely a tier below. The performances of the other contestants were predictable, but the footage of the Hua Country celebrity was full of unimaginable plots.

But there's no way; if they aired only Wu Mu's scenes, there wouldn't be enough show time.

Also, to make Wu Mu's later eliminations more interesting, they need to set up the other contestants first so the audience becomes more familiar with them.

After filling several segments with footage of other contestants, it wasn't until near the end of episode three that it switched back to Wu Mu's scene.

Hmm, they used Wu Mu as the hook to keep everyone watching again.

Wu Mu's commission indeed got canceled, but he didn't leave; instead, he asked Matsumoto Kosei and the others to cover his meals, accommodation, and travel for the day, or he'd report them for "catching" the Korean police.

This reversal had everyone nearly bursting with laughter.

Especially Matsumoto Kosei, who had no choice but to agree with a humiliated look, adding more to the show's effect.

Then, as Wu Mu was freeloading around, the manager of the Guide Office called.

"Mr. Wu Mu, we can continue with your previous commission, but there's something we'd like your help with."

"The leader of our Tokyo association, Futian Association, Fukuda Ryuichi, has been captured by people from the Osaka association, Shenchuan Association. We urgently need to contact the Futian Association's second-in-command, Takahashi. We would like you to persuade Takahashi's sister."

Sasaki Taro's eyes widened.

Futian Association?

Shenchuan Association!?

Extreme societies!!?

Oh my god, they were just dealing with the industries of extreme societies, and now they have to deal with the societies themselves!?

And now they have to get involved in a gang conflict??

Everyone in the Sasaki family, including Anko, was utterly stunned.

This development was even more inconceivable than they had imagined.

But then, the screen blacked out again.

End of episode three.

Netflix nailed the cliffhanger; who can endure not continuing to watch such developments?

"Anko, quickly play episode four!" Sasaki Taro shouted.

...

"Director, there's big trouble! Contestant number 4 has joined a gangster chase! A city car chase is about to start!"

Director Gao Yuncheng looked at the program director shouting on the screen, his eyes also widened instantly.

Gangster conflict, city car chase?

Are you kidding me!!?

You guys are serious here!

Gao Yuncheng was dumbfounded; with Netflix now the dominant company in the Korean entertainment industry, he, as a competitor, surely had to pay attention to their new show.

Moreover, after previously discussing Wu Mu at the barbecue house, he paid special attention to him for an afternoon.

As a result of this attention, he was utterly stunned.

Going to the red-light district to borrow from gangsters, getting involved in a Japanese gangster conflict, and starting a city car chase... is this something a real celebrity could do!?

This is really not a movie!?

Gao Yuncheng quickly took out his phone and called Cha Sujeong, questioning with suspicion and disbelief, "Sujeong, is everything in that 'City Survival' you joined real shots? There's no script?"

From the other end of the phone came faint sounds of car engines and sharp brakes.

Apparently, Cha Sujeong was also watching the show.

For Gao Yuncheng's sudden call, Cha Sujeong was momentarily stunned, but then she sighed a bit, "Director, sometimes I truly wish the show was scripted."

That way at least, while watching it, she wouldn't have doubts about her own talents as a celebrity.

Are the standards of being a celebrity so high? Are Hua Country celebrities that strong?

The gap is so immense; she's just a backdrop overwhelmed by the show's effects, can she really make a living as a celebrity?

"But unfortunately, the whole show is completely real, without any script at all. Netflix only gave us the rules and then let us do whatever we wanted." Cha Sujeong said with a sigh.

All entirely real shots, completely letting contestants do whatever they wanted??

Gao Yuncheng hesitated a bit, "Is it possible that only you are freestyling, but the Hua Country celebrity has a script?"

Well, it's not like he could be blamed for not believing it; as a variety show director, he knew very well the difficulty of filming variety shows.

Even if many of the show's interactions and programs seem fascinating, a large part is actually carefully scripted beforehand.

Some celebrities have very boring personalities; if you let them do whatever, you won't even get show effects, and even their interactions will be so dry it's unbearable to watch, like a disaster scene.

But that Hua Country celebrity... going to borrow from gangsters and getting involved in gangster conflicts, who could think of such a thing!!?

After hearing this, Cha Sujeong hesitated; she could only be sure there was no script for her, but whether Wu Mu had one...

"He definitely was real filming too!" Cha Sujeong said firmly.

Cha Sujeong reasoned, "Director, if it were a script for him, us being in the same production team, there's no way we wouldn't sense it at all; we would have noticed something."

"Those people are real Japanese gangsters too. Their internal conflicts are real, and it even made the news in Japan. Director, you haven't seen the later parts where there are real footage of gangster fights... real fights, smashing directly with baseball bats, heads bloodied."

"Moreover..."

Cha Sujeong hesitated a bit, "Actually, in the show, several contestants were watched by gangsters shown on screen, like the Shenchuan Association, wanting us to come back to chat. Fortunately, they were stopped."

"Furthermore, after the filming was completed, those gangsters came to threaten the production team…especially the Shenchuan Association, they sent many to block the door, threatening the production team not to leave."

Holy crap!

Gao Yuncheng's hand shook.

The production team was directly threatened by gangsters!?

Now there's this kind of risk in filming a variety show?

As a fellow variety show director, he found this outrageous, because of one contestant's performance in the show, the entire production team was directly threatened by gangsters...

The threats during the show are self-evident; it was previously Jin Jianwu who was seen as a member of the Dark Organization by the Shenchuan Association and asked to "chat," but besides him, there were several other contestants who faced similar issues; they just were stopped by the production team.

And the gang threatening the production team happened after Wu Mu finished filming and stayed behind in Japan to wrap things up, he had left early and wasn't present.

After hanging up, Gao Yuncheng couldn't help but fix his gaze back on the face of Wu Mu on the TV screen.

This Hua Country celebrity is so powerful?

Filming a city survival show, he can create such massive scenes. If he were to film shows like theirs where everything's unscripted and guests plan their own content, what would happen...

He imagined in his mind.

He still kept his eyes on the screen, continuing to watch the show.

At the same time, he took out his phone, wanting to check the discussions about this show online.
