――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The Gold Coast is located in the middle of the east coast of Australia, south of Brisbane, on the Pacific coast, and is a city in Queensland.

It consists of a 42-kilometer-long stretch of more than 10 consecutive high-quality sandy beaches, named after the golden color of the sand.

The climate here is pleasant and sunny.

In particular, the waves are treacherous, suitable for surfing and water skiing, and it is a paradise for surfers and a key tourist resort in Queensland.

There are a lot of tourist facilities here.

There are a variety of amusement parks, casinos, bars, nightclubs, sea worlds, and theme parks.

Of course, there is not only fun to do on the Gold Coast, in fact it is a comprehensive tourist city integrating shopping, food and entertainment.

For the shopping enthusiast, the Gold Coast is a fascinating place.

There are a variety of shops of all kinds, tropical boulevards, vaulted corridors, commercial centers and food streets.

There is a lot of room for tourists to choose from.

In addition to buying opals, jewelry, fashionable clothing, beachwear, leather goods and more, you can also enjoy the famous aromatherapy beauty.

And then there's the food.

With its location on the coast, it's only natural that fresh seafood is a culinary specialty on the Gold Coast.

Local chefs create a variety of ideas with prawns, crabs, lobsters, and fish, as well as seasonings, fruits, and vegetables that are unique to the region.

Produce a variety of different Australian flavours.

It is precisely because of so many advantages that people can't refuse that this place was chosen as the recording location for the first episode of the third season of "Twelve Legends".

On August 21, the film crew arrived on the Gold Coast first.

They need to do all kinds of upfront preparations.

It is worth mentioning that compared to the first and second seasons, which only had three cameras, the third season has doubled the number of cameras at once.

This has led to an exponential increase in human and material resources.

But it is necessary.

As a popular celebrity reality show that has been broadcast for two seasons, it is necessary to make a certain amount of innovation in order to continue to maintain its popularity.

It is a good way to increase the camera position to make the program more varied and richer.

It can improve the watchability of the program.

Of course, these increased manpower and material resources do not need to be paid by Tianheng Film and Television themselves, but are all passed on to the sponsors.

At the auction held at the beginning of the month.

Seven advertising spaces for the third season of "Twelve Legends", including naming rights, special sponsors, designated cars, and global strategic partners,

A total of 388 million Hong Kong dollars were auctioned.

Far more than the sponsorship fee received by Running Man and "Sister Over Flowers".

Such a terrifying figure shocked everyone's eyes, and not only became the front page headline of major Hong Kong newspapers the next day.

It has also attracted a great deal of attention from the global media.

Even global media outlets like the New York Times featured prominently on their front pages, in a tone of amazement.

You know, it's just an entertainment show that only airs 12 episodes.

All sponsored advertisements will only appear a maximum of 3 times per episode, for a few seconds at a time, and may not be seen if you are not paying attention.

What is it about Sponsor Gate that makes it so generous?

The New York Times has the answer.

According to the information they received, the third season of "Twelve Legends" had already been sold to eleven TV stations before the advertising space was auctioned.

These stations include Fuji TV in Japan, Independent TV in the UK,

Taiwan's Chunghwa Television, NBC Television in the United States, etc.

These TV stations have purchased the second round of broadcasting rights, which means that they can only broadcast after the premiere of Phoenix TV.

The purchase price is also different depending on the before and after the broadcast time.

Think about it, in this case, how much audience will "Twelve Legends" cover, and how huge will it be advertising?

Can sponsors not be generous, can they not be crazy?

The New York Times also made a special calculation to calculate that the program alone included sponsorship fees and the purchase of broadcast rights for 11 television stations.

Wei Xiong will be able to buy 700 million Hong Kong dollars.

This is only a conservative estimate, because the specific price of selling the broadcast rights Tianheng Film and Television has not been announced to the public, and there is no inside information from the outside world.

The true number will only be higher.

No doubt everyone who saw this report was shocked.

I am afraid that the speed of making money is almost catching up with the Fed's money printing machine, although this 'point' of money is nothing to Wei Xiong.

At the same time, it also made people intuitively experience Weixiong's influence in the world for the first time.

In addition to money,

The New York Times also mentions a phenomenon.

That is, when the news of the start of preparations for the show came out, local governments in many countries around the world contacted Tianheng Film and Television through various ways.

The purpose is to get the program team to use the local area as the filming location.

The second season was filmed in Chinese mainland, allowing people from all over the world to know a real China and Chinese cuisine, not to mention.

Mainly the first season.

But everywhere he went in the first season, tourism has increased to a certain extent, and even the farms that Wei Xiong visited have been sought after.

This is not Tianheng Film and Television boasting.

Rather, it is the conclusions drawn by the governments themselves through statistics.

Straight to the point.

On the morning of August 25, Wei Xiong took Chen Mengyao and Monica, as well as a group of bodyguards, to this breathtakingly beautiful Gold Coast.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the guest of the first episode of the program, Sophie?? Marceau also arrived on the Gold Coast.

That's right, it's Sophie?? Marceau.

Choose Sophie?? As the first guest, Wei Xiong can guarantee that there are no impure thoughts, and it is entirely for the sake of the show's ratings.

Now "The Legend of the Twelve Paths" has become an international entertainment program.

Therefore, when selecting guests, we should no longer only consider the aesthetics and preferences of Hong Kong, Taiwan and Asian audiences, but also consider them from a global perspective.

Especially the first episode of the program, which is very crucial.

He considered Olivia Hussey, Meryl Streep, Carlo Kane and other famous Hollywood actresses who became famous in the 70s.

I also considered the new generation of actors such as Julia Roberts and Nicole Kidman.

But he ended up choosing Sophie?? Marceau.

Because Sophie?? Marceau is not only known as the 'Rose of France', but it is also a household name in Europe, and it is also very famous in the United States.

And is he and Sophie?? Marceau has a good relationship.

The communication and interaction between the two in the show will be more natural.

The program team formed a villa not far from the beach, which is both Wei Xiong and Sophie for the next four days and three nights. The residence of Marceau and others.

It is also one of the filming locations of the show.

When Sophie?? When Marceau came to the villa, Wei Xiong immediately stepped forward and gave him a warm hug: "Welcome to the beautiful and charming Gold Coast." ”

"Nice to see you again. "Sophie?? Marceau smiled.

Later, Wei Xiong introduced Chen Mengyao to Sophie, and as for Monica, Sophie met when she came to Hong Kong to attend the opening ceremony of King's Jewelry.

After entering the statement, Sophie first took her luggage to her room, and then returned to the living room.

"Where's Wei?"

In the kitchen, he went to buy some ingredients at noon today to prepare a hearty Chinese dinner. Monica gestured towards the kitchen.

Being reminded of this, Sophie heard a movement in the kitchen.

Walk to the kitchen door and take a look.

In the kitchen, Wei Xiong was wearing an apron, and he was stir-frying with a shovel with a serious face, while Chen Mengyao was laying his hands on the side.

At this time, Wei Xiong turned his head and said:

"The last time you went to Hong Kong, I said that I would have the opportunity to cook a Chinese meal for you to try, and I promise it will never be worse than your French meal. ”

"The way you cook is really handsome. ”

Sophie said with a smile.

"Thanks for the compliment, you can go to the living room and sit down first, there is a lot of smoke here, you may not like it. "Cooking is one of Wei Xiong's strengths.

Talking while cooking didn't affect him at all.

"I like the smell here, it's fragrant, is there anything I can do to help?"

……

After being busy for more than an hour, a sumptuous dinner full of color and flavor was finally baked, and Wei Xiong's masterful cooking skills must not be said.

And in order to take care of the French taste, he also made some changes to tonight's dishes.

The result was naturally successful.

Sophie, who eats Chinese food for the first time, loves all the dishes, and Wei Xiong can tell that Sophie is not pretending or perfunctory him.

But really like it.

You can't pretend to have that kind of appetite.

"Whew, it's delicious, my stomach is already holding up, really, it's the most delicious food I've ever had. Sophie put down the dishes contentedly.

Leaning back in the chair, he touched it with his hand.

"Thank you for the compliment. ”

As he spoke, Wei Xiong raised his glass: "I wish us a wonderful holiday." ”

Chen Mengyao and Monica also raised their wine glasses, and it was obviously a very lucky thing for them to be able to come here on a business trip with Wei Xiong.

Because Cui Muqing and Sister Ouyang also wanted to come.

Later, they had a competition, and the content of the game was very simple, let the first two shoots by Wei Xiong win, and there were no rules.

That is, the five of us can use any means.

Of course, this competition could not have been proposed by any of them, but by Wei Xiong, and the purpose was not pure from the beginning.

But they didn't object.

In the end, the winners were naturally Chen Mengyao and Monica.

After dinner, Sophie wants to go for a walk because she has eaten too much tonight and needs to burn off the extra calories.

Wei Xiong naturally became a flower messenger.

As for Chen Mengyao and Monica.

If they want to burn calories, they don't need to exercise deliberately, which is equivalent to having a few rounds with Wei Xiong before going to bed to ensure that the effect is carried.

Not to mention, they don't need to burn calories.

As long as they are double repaired with Wei Xiong, they can maintain their best figure.

The two walked along the street outside the villa, and they didn't meet a few people along the way, which is normal in sparsely populated Australia.

Besides, it's already night.

The two chatted as they walked, Wei Xiong's French was much more fluent than when he first went to France, and there was no language barrier to communicate with Sophie.

Most of it was him talking.

In terms of eloquence, he is definitely one of the best in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, whether it is finance, current affairs, or culture and entertainment, he can talk about it.

And not gibberish, but methodical.

For example, Sophie suddenly asks Wei Xiong what he thinks of French cinema.

Wei Xiong immediately began to invent the world's first hand-cranked cinema camera in 1894 by the Lumière brothers and shot many films such as "Train Arrives".

Speaking of Dadaism and surrealism that emerged in French cinema between 1923 and 1933.

and then to the rise of the New Wave cinema in 1958.

There are many things mentioned in his words, which even Sophie, an authentic Frenchman, does not know, and suddenly Sophie opens the conversation.

Wei Xiong can swear to God, he has absolutely no intention of deliberately showing off.

It's all a reflection of instinct.

Just as a person has to eat and drink every day, 'rich knowledge' has long been engraved into his memory and has become a part of his body.

He didn't need to be deliberate at all, and it was natural when he spoke.

Well, these are just his quibbles.

In fact, when he saw Sophie's shining gaze, he still felt a little proud in his heart. Driven by this mood,

He had to show off a little.

Since there were few people on the road, they didn't have to worry about being recognized, so they walked and walked and came to the beach before they knew it.

August is winter in Australia, the opposite of the Northern Hemisphere.

Although the Gold Coast is located in the subtropics, the average temperature at night is only 14 or 5 degrees, which is certainly nothing for Wei Xiong.

But Sophie is different.

The sea breeze blew and she couldn't help but touch her arms, knowing that she didn't have Wei Xiong's physique, and she was only wearing a thin woolen sweater.

As a man who has always advertised his gentleness and consideration for women, Wei Xiong immediately proposed to go back.

He wanted to show a gentlemanly demeanor.

It's a pity that he was wearing only a T-shirt.

Back at the villa, Sophie went back to her room to change into a tight-fitting bodysuit, and then plugged a box of video into the VCR under the TV.

Soon the image of calisthenics jumped on TV.

Wei Xiong sat next to him for a while, and then went upstairs, he and Sophie were just friends, they were doing aerobics, and he was watching from the side, which was a little inappropriate.

When he went to bed at night, Wei Xiong didn't want to sleep separately from Chen Mengyao and Monica.

Anyway, it's already lice on the monk's head - obviously.

If you deliberately pretend, it will make people feel contemptible. Monica is also very generous, only Chen Mengyao is a little twisted, after all, there are outsiders.

How well the villa soundproofed, Wei Xiong didn't know.

But Sophie lives next door, and even if the sound insulation is good, it is estimated that she can hear some movement.

……

The temperature has risen a lot during the day, reaching 278 degrees, and the sun is shining, although it is winter, it is also a good day to bask in the sun.

After some preparation, at 9 a.m., the recording officially began.

on the beach.

Wei Xiong was lying naked on a beach chair, wearing only beach pants and toad glasses on his face, basking in the sun comfortably.

The lens of camera No. 1 slowly swept across the beach and finally fixed on Wei Xiong.

Then the camera moves from far to near.

At this time, Wei Xiong took off his sunglasses and looked at the camera with slightly squinted eyes: "Hello everyone, we meet again, welcome to the beautiful Gold Coast." ”

"It's winter in Australia, but the sun is a bit soaking today. ”

"I'm sweating all over my body. ”

The No. 2 camera on the side immediately gave a close-up of Wei Xiong's strong body, and it was indeed visible that it was covered with fine beads of sweat.

"I certainly couldn't possibly visit a place like this alone. ”

"And who else?"

Next to Wei Xiong is a beach chair with a sunglasses and a super sexy three-point bikini lying on the chair.

And camera No. 3 has already focused its lens on this sexy girl.

"Looks like we've come at the right time. ”

Sexy girl takes off her sunglasses, who else can it be if it's not Sophie?

"I went swimming. With that, Sophie got up from her beach chair and was about to walk towards the sea, when suddenly the director's voice sounded.

"Now announcing the legendary dish of this issue. ”

"Do you see the red swimming ring in the distance on the sea? There's an envelope on it with the name of the legendary dish and your money on it. ”

Wei Xiong looked out to sea, and there was indeed a red swimming ring about a hundred meters from the shore.

"You have to pull the envelope back in four minutes. ”

"Do you want to start now?"

"The clock has begun. ”

Hearing this, I saw Wei Xiong take off his beach pants as quickly as possible, and then wear only a pair of black tight swim trunks, and quickly run towards the sea.

Camera No. 1 followed him closely.

The water of the Gold Coast is very clear and shallow, and after running into the sea for more than 20 meters, Wei Xiongcai threw himself into the water with a puff and swam forward.

He's so fast that most people who don't know him think he's a professional swimmer.

It didn't take long for him to get his hands on the envelope that had been smashed into the waterproof bag.

Bite the envelope into your mouth and swim back.

In the process, he was always followed by a small yacht not far from him, and a fat man holding a camera was sitting on board.

Run back to the beach chair,

The director's voice sounded at the right time: "The time is 2 minutes and 24 seconds, pass the level." ”

Sophie took the envelope out of the waterproof bag and opened it, revealing a banknote and a card.

"$100?"

"Make a dish that best represents Australia. ”

"That's right, $100 is the funding for your mission. The director's voice sounded again, and when the show was broadcast, the director would not be on camera.

There is only sound.

So the few cameras around didn't give the director a shot, and they cut it out anyway, wasting the film.

"Isn't that too little?"

Sophie looked at the $100 in Wei Xiong's hand and frowned.

"It's a little little, but that's all. Wei Xiong shrugged helplessly, he did not participate in the specific setting of the content of the program,

Of course, the content they already knew in advance.

The reactions and conversations between the two now are just to increase the watchability of the show.

"Alright then, is it time to go?"

"Well, let's go. ”
