Section 1513 Change of Venue
"This feels ......, it's not right~."
When he caught the first waterbird, Jin Bingwan didn't feel anything out of the ordinary, but after he caught the second waterbird with the same routine as the gourd painting scoop, he felt something was wrong.
Li Jingyuan injured the water bird by archery, and then stepped forward to mend the knife. In this process, didn't you play the role of a hunting dog? Thinking of this, Jin Bingwan couldn't help but hang a black line on his head, and strongly expressed to Li Jingyuan that he was in charge of archery.
When filming "Law of the Jungle", there was a principle called 'not to hunt prey beyond the range necessary for survival'. Because I had already hunted two waterfowl that were not light, and by the way, the sharp-eyed Jessica had found a few eggs, and if you count the fruits and other ingredients that might be found in another group, today's food would be almost enough.
In other words, even if Jin Bingwan didn't shoot the waterfowl and didn't add new achievements to the hunting team, it wouldn't lead everyone to go hungry. Thinking of this, Li Jingyuan generously handed over the bow and arrow to Jin Bingwan's hands and asked him to try it out.
I have to say that Jin Bingwan's hunting talent is indeed extremely high.
Although it was the first time to use a bow and arrow when hunting, although there was no systematic training before, it was just a few times when making bets, but it was just these few attempts that Jin Bingwan had caught the trick. As a result, after he took the bow and arrow, he actually shot a waterfowl.
Even if you are very close to the waterfowl when you shoot an arrow, even if you have missed many opportunities before. But the end result was pretty good after all. Just think about the fact that Kim Byung-wan is still a novice, and you can't help but sigh at his talent.
The harvest of the hunting group is good, and the other side. The harvest of the collection team is also worth celebrating. Although they didn't find something as good as pineapple the day before, they did find edible ingredients such as bananas, cassava, and papaya, and in terms of portions, they were even more than the day before.
For two days in a row, enough food was obtained, which was very happy for the members, but for the program team. Not necessarily the same happiness.
In "The Law of the Jungle", 'hardship' is the biggest attraction, although it is somewhat unpleasant to say. It cannot be denied that there are many viewers who watch the show mainly to see how difficult the members will be, and put in a lot of effort to overcome them.
It's like making a TV series. Articles with conflicts and ups and downs will make people want to keep reading. On the other hand, if the same tone is maintained all the time, even if the plot has always been warm, I believe that not many people will become loyal viewers.
The members can always gather enough food, so their survival in the jungle will be somewhat easier and less tense. Although the place is still the same place, the whole shooting feels a little like a vacation. And such a scene is not what the program team wants to see.
You have to do everything you can to make a change.
After a serious discussion. After that, I made a lot of phone calls to contact various forces. The crew finally made a decision to end filming in the rainforest early and move on to the next location for the second part of the filming.
There may be a lot of people who ask questions. Ask, 'Is there enough to shoot in the rainforest if you leave so early?' 'Words come.
The answer is barely enough. Although the filming time is not long, the most important thing for variety shows is not the filming time, but the so-called highlights. If there is no explosion all the time, even if you shoot for a long time, it still doesn't make much sense, on the other hand, even if the shooting time is not long, as long as you shoot enough highlights in a short period of time, after the processing of editing skills, you can still ensure enough broadcast weight.
Although the survival process in the rainforest is only three days, I have already taken a lot of shots that can be used. Building camps, dodging heavy rain, gathering food, harvesting eels, hunting water birds, these are all materials with jungle characteristics, and when it comes to fun, there are archery competitions, one-day patriarchs, etc., in addition, the scenes of the little crystal sisters fighting with Li Jingyuan and others can also add bad fun.
In general, the situation is that 'although I didn't shoot for a long time, the amount of shooting is about the same, whether it is survival or fun', and with these materials, as long as you edit them well after you go back, you should be able to make three or four episodes of broadcasting. Although it is a little less than the expected five-phase weight, it is barely enough.
Once the decision is made, there will be no further delays. On the morning of the fourth day of the start of 'survival', the program team said to the members the command of 'ending the rainforest survival'.
I shot for a few days, and I used up a lot of tape. These straps are not lightweight, and they are not suitable to take to the next location. In addition, even in order to ensure the efficiency of the production of zuò, it is necessary to send back the part of the material that has been shot in advance and start post-processing in advance.
Send someone to bring back the tape that has been full of shots, sort out the equipment, let the staff relax, and at the same time let the artists relieve their fatigue a little. After leaving the rainforest, the team did not immediately set off for the next location, but first booked a hostel in a nearby city, giving everyone half a day and a night to adjust.
It's easy to get to the city, although the city is not big, just a small town. But for the members who have been living in the jungle for three days, it is still a very happy thing.
A good meal is indispensable. Although they didn't go hungry during the three days in the jungle, the level of food was still not good after all, and now that they saw the oil and water, how could the members endure not eating?
In addition, there was still a little time left, so everyone did not choose to go back early to rest, but chose to take a stroll around the market.
In the end, I came to a foreign country, and. If it weren't for this shoot, it is unlikely that these artists would have had the opportunity to come back to a small and unknown country like Belize again. After all, the economic conditions here are really bad, and there are not many Koreans living abroad. Naturally, these Korean artists will not be invited to give them the opportunity to come here to run the trip. In the case of spontaneous travel, most of the artists go to Paris, Switzerland, New York and other fashionable metropolises, or Greece, Italy and other countries with strong literary and artistic styles, and rarely choose Belize, a small country full of primitive feelings in all aspects.
Besides, this is Belize City, the capital of Belize, although the population is only a few tens of thousands. The area is also a little smaller, but in the end it is still the capital of a country, there is always some shopping.
I won't go into detail about the process of shopping. Anyway, there is nothing inconvenient. Belize is the only country in Central America where English is the official language, and if you can speak English, you don't have to worry about communication difficulties. And in the artist team this time, there are Li Jingyuan, Jessica and Xiao Jing, three people who can speak smoothly in English. Everyone else also uses simple, everyday English. When you go shopping, you won't be able to communicate with the merchants.
After wandering around for two or three hours, everyone bought a bunch of small souvenirs in the style of Mayan civilization and prepared to take them back to give to friends and family. In addition, Xiao Jing, who is crazy about eating fruits, also found a traditional farmers' market, where she saw a lot of tropical fruits that are usually not seen in Korea, or can be seen but are very expensive, and she was overjoyed, so she bought a lot of fruits and went back. It's quite speechless to eat herself.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
After a night's rest, I took a good shower and slept again. By the next morning, the energy that the members had spent in the rainforest had been replenished. After eating breakfast and sorting out the equipment, everyone gathered in front of the camera again and began the filming of the second part of the 'survival' process.
The opening venue is on the pier in Belize City.
It's still morning, the temperature is not good, and the appearance of more than 20 degrees is just the most comfortable temperature for the body. There was also a salty sea breeze blowing on the sea, which was a little wet and refreshing.
Look around, there are many dinghys docked on the pier. There are fishing boats for fishing, and there are a few small yachts that look pretty good, although occasionally in a few other colors, but most of them are white. These dinghys float on the blue sea, like those tiny white clouds in the sky.
There are a lot of seagulls flying back and forth in the air, and from time to time they make one or two chirps.
Smell, touch, sight, hearing, just the lack of taste. Although there is a little fly in the ointment, because of the scene in front of you, everyone still feels a kind of relaxation and leisurely that is unique to the Caribbean.
Of course, in "The Law of the Jungle", or in all variety shows, tossing artists is the absolute theme, and it is definitely impossible to make them comfortable all the time.
No, after doing the opening, the 'Bingwan Clan' encountered the first bad situation.
In order to distinguish it from the first filming location, the program team placed the filming of the second part on an uninhabited island. During the investigation, in order to meet the necessary needs of the members in the process of survival, the program team could only choose a small island with sufficient resources.
Uninhabited and well-resourced, such islands are not easy to find, at least not at sea close to Belize City. Therefore, after a period of field investigation, the program team chose an uninhabited island on the outskirts of the Tenef Islands, which is some distance from Belize City.
There are two ways to get to your destination, one is by seaplane and the other is by boat. Because the number of artists and staff is relatively large, and they also have to carry a lot of equipment, the seaplanes with a small passenger and cargo capacity are not very compatible, that is to say, there is only one way to move in front of the program team - by boat.
Because of the economic constraints here, there are not too many large fishing boats, so as a last resort, the program team can only choose to rent three smaller fishing boats to use.
The smaller the tonnage of the fishing boat, the less able it is to resist wind and waves. And this day, although the weather looks clear. But in fact, there is still a lot of sea breeze. Under the influence of these sea winds, the waves on the sea surface also become larger.
As the waves ebb and flow, so do the fishing boats. It's not much for a while. But after a long time, the people on the fishing boat began to react.
Generally speaking, people with better balance are more likely to suffer from seasickness. Because these people will unconsciously self-adjust the center of gravity when the hull rises and falls, the center of gravity changes back and forth too many times, and then seasickness will occur.
In this issue of the Bingwan clan, the patriarch Jin Bingwan's sense of balance is undoubted first, and then Jessica and Little Crystal. Although the physique of the two of them is not as good as that of men, because they usually dance in high heels, they have long practiced a good sense of balance. As a result, at this time, the sense of balance that has been practiced has the opposite effect.
There are also Lu Woo-jin and Oh Chung-hyuk. One is a former football player and the other is a former idol. The sense of balance is also above the average person. Naturally, it is easier to get seasick than ordinary people.
In other words, except for the eldest Kim Sung-so and the fattest Yoo Tan, plus a 'not human' Lee Kyung-won, the other five people were seasick, and each one was more dizzy than the other.
Such a situation is undoubtedly a comprehensive blow to the Bingwan clan.
After moving for nearly three hours or so, the rest of the time was in a state of seasickness, leaving aside the first half hour. When you get to the sea near your destination. Jin Bingwan and the other five people have long been tossed and are about to become wasters.
And that's not all. There's the next trouble to face.
Generally speaking, it is possible for the Bingwan people to find uninhabited islands with enough food. It is more difficult for large ships to approach. The reason is simple: to harvest enough food by human means that the food cannot be hidden in the deep sea, but in the shallow sea where you can dive with your bare hands. Ensuring the abundance of food means having enough coral reefs in the shallow sea to allow a variety of marine life to live. Generally speaking, the uninhabited islands prepared by the program team often have the same characteristics, that is, there is a large shallow sea nearby, and there are many coral reefs in the sea. Then, under such a premise, ships with a deeper draft will naturally not be able to approach the coast of the island.
This is the situation in front of us, and there is also a shallow area of coral reefs around the small island selected by the program team this time. If you want to go to the island, you have to let the members go to the sea by themselves and move forward with their feet in the chest-deep water.
Some people may ask, isn't there a small boat like an assault boat for the members to build?
In normal times, there will definitely be. However, as has been explained before, this time the plan was temporarily changed, and when the program team was making preparations, its work would naturally increase a lot.
The big boat that was originally scheduled was still fishing at sea, even if it returned immediately after receiving the contact, it couldn't come over before departure, and in desperation, the program team had to temporarily rent other fishing boats. This is the first change.
Assault boats could not go out to sea on their own to the vicinity of the island, and could only be brought over on fishing boats, and the three fishing boats rented now were barely enough to transport people and supplies, and there was simply not enough open space for another assault boat. As a result, the failure to be able to carry assault boats was the second change.
There is an inflatable raft on the fishing boat. However, it was clearly unusable for the members.
First, it takes a lot of time to inflate, and for the members, now that they have arrived at the second place of survival, the most important thing is to hurry up and set up camp ashore, so naturally there is no extra time to wait for the raft to be full before setting off.
Second, it is because even if it is inflated, the raft must be used to make the program team exercise equipment. You must know that the price of a camera can be millions or even tens of millions of won, and you can't lose it by falling into the water lightly. It is reasonable to take care of these high-priced equipment first.
In the end, the members had to go into the water and walk ashore on their own.
400 meters, if you walk on flat ground, it will be a matter of two or three minutes. However, now that it was in the water, and the first part of the road was still chest-deep water, it was not so convenient to walk.
The resistance of the water is not the most troublesome, the key is that some members' backpacks are not waterproof, and if you want to take them ashore without getting wet, you have to hold them high above your head and wade through the deepest area first.
Men can do it themselves, but Crystal and Jessica can't hold their bags on top of their heads for that long. Fortunately, Li Jingyuan and Jin Bingwan carried high-end backpacks that could be sealed and used as airbags, so the two exchanged them with the sisters, and put Li Jingyuan and Jin Bingwan's bags on the water and dragged them by Jessica and the little crystal sisters, while Li Jingyuan and Jin Bingwan were responsible for carrying the bags of the two sisters, and then slowly waded through the 'deep water' area together.
It was easy to get to the shallow water, and everyone carried the bag on their backs again. After tossing for a while, most of them were already tired, and then looking at the shallow water area that seemed to be two hundred meters away, some people couldn't help but let out a depressed complaint.
