"There is a gas station in the middle of the desert road in the Taklamakan Desert, but it doesn't have much to do with you crossing the N39, just bring more gasoline, in recent years, there have been more and more teams spontaneously crossing the desert, and the technology is advanced, but it is getting easier and simpler. But don't take it lightly, the power of nature should not be underestimated!"

Wu Qian listened carefully to the class, although his team was well prepared, but it did not prevent him from inviting another guide to accompany him, he said: "Old camel, you can go with us." Wu Qian sent out an invitation, and the old camel was the name that the guide told everyone.

Following such a procession across 39 degrees, the old camel felt that it was not too difficult, and it was a thousand times stronger than the one who led the camel on foot, and gladly accepted the invitation.

At dinner, Wu Qian asked the hotel to prepare two roast whole sheep, the golden roasted whole sheep is fragrant for thousands of meters, most of the men in the team, dozens of catties of meat are nothing to the old men, not to mention that the ladies are also very eaten, and some women do not let the eyebrows.

In the evening, everyone did not sit idle after eating, and carried out some inspection and reinforcement of all vehicles, and the serious attitude made Wu Qian see the determination of this team.

Xiao Xiaoxiao followed the people of the camera team to control all the camera equipment, don't look at the usual big grin, really do things, very serious, maybe she only has one tendon, she can only focus on one thing.

Wu Qian felt that Xiao Xiaoxiao was weird and strange in the past two days, deliberately avoiding himself, and he didn't know what was going on, but he didn't think about going deeper, after all, the most important thing now is to enter the hinterland of the desert tomorrow.

That night, everyone fell asleep early in order to have plenty of energy for tomorrow, this was the last night before entering the heart of the desert, everyone cherished the comfortable bed, and from tomorrow onwards they would sleep in a car or tent.

Early the next morning, at 8 o'clock, the convoy set off in full gear and headed for the east end of N39. On both sides of the road is an endless wasteland, connecting the heavens and the earth. Under the magic of nature, Wu Qian once again felt the insignificance of human beings, and this kind of spiritual cleansing made him wake up to himself at all times, and there are still many things in the world that need to be feared.

After arriving at the east entrance of N39, the convoy immediately attracted the attention of many people, the entrance location has developed into a mature tourist area, there are many tourists, on the side of the entrance, there are camel merchants to provide camel rental services, for tourists to wander in the sand sea, of course, only a little distance into the desert.

The convoy did not stop and rushed straight into the desert.

"At my feet is the Taklamakan Desert, and the route in front of me is the world-famous 39th parallel. Further north is the world-famous Lop Nur, this time our mission is to cross the desert hinterland along 39 degrees north latitude, a total distance of about 1,500 kilometers......"

Kuang Ziyu stood on the roof of the G65 and generously made a speech, the recording of the program officially began, and the three program cars returned to the hands of the three hosts, three cameras were installed in the cockpit of the car, and a flagpole was erected at the rear of the car, and a small flag was raised high.

The mechanical aspects of the vehicle are all in the original state, not a single screw has been moved, of course, the tire pressure is reduced, otherwise it is impossible to run, all vehicles have reduced the tire pressure to 1 atmosphere.

All eight ARRI ALEXA 65 cameras are activated, and the videographer is either crouching in the sand with the camera on his shoulder, or sitting in the passenger seat of the Hylux. Due to the problem of battery life, the drone can only be turned on two at a time, and the two waves of photographers are divided into three waves, followed by three cars, and the team of 40 people starts to operate like a sophisticated instrument.

Nearby off-road enthusiasts who drove to Hosha gathered to Wu Qian's filming team, and some people asked the team about what was going on when they saw the freshness, and Wu Qian asked Tian Yewang to inform everyone of the real situation, which was regarded as a wave of promotion, creating a little expectation for the release of variety shows.

The sky is as blue as the scorching sun, because the surface temperature is so high, the scenery in the distance is distorted, you can imagine how torturous it is to walk on such sand, if you don't wear special thick boots, your feet are hot and blistered.

Everyone in the team wore sunscreen and sandproof clothing, Wu Qian wore a sandproof glasses, and his face was wrapped tightly with a thief, otherwise it would not work, the strong ultraviolet rays would cause tonnage damage to the skin in minutes, not to mention the sand and dust raised from time to time.

"In this episode of the program, we will use the 'Sea of Death' to test the top civilian off-road vehicles in three countries, these three off-road vehicles are relatively easy to buy, this is not a review or test, this is a challenge game. Whether the three cars can go to the end, everyone will wait and see!"

After the opening remarks compressed in about 80 seconds, Kuang Ziyu, Feng Jiale and Ning Haobo sat in the driver's seat one after another, ignited the ignition, and rushed into the desert. Fifteen Hyluxes followed, eight of which followed closely as the target vehicle as a filming vehicle. I have to say that the people in charge of driving the shooting team are all skilled.

Driving in the desert is not the same as driving on the road, many times you need to master the direction in reverse, and sometimes you have to slide along the sand slope, which requires flexible mastery.

After Wu Qian's convoy entered the desert, the travelers on the edge immediately exploded.

In order to shoot a variety show, I went directly to N39, and I didn't find a sponsorship brand appearing, and the car was pasted with their own company's LOGO, this boss has a thick background! But I have never heard of this company. ”

"I originally thought it was sponsored by a car dealer, but I just heard people in their team say that all the vehicles were bought by the company itself, and it cost more than 10 million just to buy a car just to shoot this show. ”

"You just went to see the car, did you notice the filming equipment? All of them are Hollywood-level cameras, each of which is worth more than one million, and the drone is also more than 300,000 units, and their team's car plus seven or seven pieces of equipment can't be taken without 40 or 50 million. ”

"The previous two TGs were not successful, and the funds were pitiful! Although filming has just started this time, I think there is a drama, and just buying equipment will exceed the budget of the previous TG season. And he didn't spend money to invite celebrities to engage in bells and whistles spicy chicken content, but instead spent money on the show itself, which alone is incomparable to other variety shows!

And what you see is the initial investment, what about the post-production? The post-production cost is not low, I'm dripping my God! If you think about it, your scalp is numb, this is at most the material for one or two episodes of the show, right? I'm afraid the investment is nearly 100 million!"

There are many people, and there are people who understand in various fields, and they exchange information with each other, and they are not calm for a moment. But they don't know that what they see now is only part of it, and there are other links that they have not seen.

If everyone knew that Lewis Hamilton was the mysterious test driver of Wu Qian's show, and that Wu Qian's team would be rushing to Silverstone to shoot the opening sequence, I don't know what they would think.

This will not be fun for the travelers, and they are naturally enthusiasts who love off-road when they travel here by car, and they were shocked by the things of Wu Qian's team.

"Let's go, let's go up and see the excitement, Made, our Celestial Empire finally has a real big production!"

"It's not, I don't know when their show will be filmed and released, it's too interesting, let's go, hurry up and drive to keep up, my day, it's worth the trip!"

There were a lot of people gathered at the starting point of N39 Dongtou, and in an instant, more than 30 cars slowly followed the route of Wu Qian's team, wanting to experience the atmosphere of filming variety shows up close.

Even the boss who originally rode a camel to play nearby added more money to the boss, and wanted to follow the show shooting team into the desert to see the excitement, the boss was frightened, could that be a joke, and in the end, it was good to persuade those tourists not to follow.

When Kuang Ziyu stood on the roof of the car to record the opening scene, many people among the travelers took photos and recorded videos, which had been posted on the Internet, and there was no network after entering the desert, but the network was still covered in the desert border.

All the cars were gone, except for a bald man who sat in a Land Cruiser, looking at the sandy desert direction, frowning.

"For such a big variety show, why hasn't the company received any rumors, no, you have to notify the boss quickly, such a great show must be sponsored! ”

Thinking so, the bald man hurriedly dialed his immediate boss, but unfortunately, his proposal was not taken seriously by the superiors.

To the south of the capital, a car and a Euro were parked on the runway in the abandoned airport, and there was a pickup truck in the distance, and three men in blue overalls were busy with instruments and something.

As early as the day of Wu Qian's departure, Yao Xinlu contacted Qi Ji's track design studio, and when Qi Ji learned that the other party wanted to build an F1 track, he promised to immediately deal with the matter at hand and rush to the capital for a field trip.

Under the scorching sun, Qi Ji and Yao Xinlu stood opposite each other and talked happily. The two have similar personalities and the same high education. It's just that compared with Qi Ji, Yao Xinlu is still a little immature.

"Sister Qi, you see that the current situation is like this. Yao Xinlu always called Qi Ji Professor Qi at the beginning, but Qi Ji really didn't like this overly formal title, so in the end, let Yao Xinlu call her Sister Qi directly.

Qi Ji was dressed in a white suit, her hairstyle was somewhat similar to Yao Xinlu, she looked extremely capable, she looked at the team members who were doing soil testing in the distance, and said to Yao Xinlu: "Xiao Yao, to tell you the truth, judging by my own experience, I also know that this area must meet the land standards for establishing a track without instruments."

However, it is very difficult to pass the quality acceptance of the FIA's F1 standard and become a certified F1 track. Because there will only be one race in each country, the FIA will not grant another quota to the Celestial Empire, and it will take time for it to develop. ”
