Chapter 170 Arousing Attention (Seeking Subscription)

"There is a gas station in the middle of the desert road in the Taklimakan Desert, but it has nothing to do with you crossing the N39. Just bring more gasoline. In recent years, more and more teams have spontaneously crossed the desert, and the technology is advanced. It's getting easier. But you still can'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, it did not prevent him from inviting another guide to accompany him. He said, "Old Camel, come with us." Wu Qian sent out an invitation, and the old man Camel is the name the guide told everyone.

Following such a team across 39 degrees, the old camel felt that the difficulty was not too great, and it was a thousand times stronger than walking with a camel, so he readily accepted the invitation.

For dinner, Wu Qian asked the hotel to prepare two roasted whole lambs. The golden yellow and oily roasted whole lambs are fragrant for thousands of miles. Most of the team members are men, and dozens of catties of meat are nothing to the old men, let alone ladies. They are also very edible, and some of them are actually unstoppable.

In the evening, everyone did not rest idle after eating, and carried out some inspections and reinforcements on all the vehicles. Their serious attitude allowed Wu Qian to see the determination of the team.

Xiao Xiaoxiao followed the camera team and treated all the camera equipment against sand. Although she is usually careless, she really does things very seriously. Maybe she has only one muscle and can only focus on one thing.

Wu Qian felt that Xiao Xiaoxiao had been acting weird these two days, deliberately avoiding himself, not knowing what was going on, but he didn't want to investigate further, after all, the most important thing now was to enter the hinterland of the desert tomorrow.

That night, everyone fell asleep early in order to have plenty of energy tomorrow. This was the last night before entering the desert hinterland. Everyone cherished the comfortable beds and would sleep in cars or tents from tomorrow.

Early in the morning of the second day, around 8:39, the convoy set off in full gear and headed towards the east end of N[-].On both sides of the road is an endless wilderness, connecting the sky and the earth.Under the uncanny workmanship of nature, Wu Qian once again felt the insignificance of human beings. This kind of spiritual cleansing made him wake up all the time. There are still many things in the world that need to be awed.

After arriving at the east entrance of N39, the convoy immediately attracted the attention of many people. The entrance has developed into a mature tourist area with many tourists. Beside the entrance, there are camel merchants who provide camel rental services for tourists. Wandering in the sand sea, of course, can only enter the desert a little distance.

The convoy didn't stop, and rushed directly into the desert.

"Under my feet is the Taklamakan Desert. The route ahead of me is the world-famous 39 degrees north latitude. Going further north is the world-famous Lop Nur. This time our task is to cross the hinterland of the desert along the 39 degrees north latitude. About 1500 kilometers..."

Kuang Ziyu stood on the roof of the G65 and made an impassioned speech. The recording of the program officially started. The three program vehicles were returned to the hands of the three hosts. Three cameras were installed in the cockpit of the vehicle, and a A small flag is flying high on the flagpole.

The mechanical aspects of the vehicles are all in the original factory state, and no screw has been moved. Of course, the tire pressure has been reduced, otherwise it will not be possible to run. All vehicles have reduced the tire pressure to 1 atmosphere.

All eight ARRI ALEXA 65 cameras were activated, and the cameraman either squatted on the sand with the cameras on his shoulders, or sat in the passenger seat of the Hilux.Due to battery life problems, only two drones can be turned on at a time. The two waves of photographers are divided into three waves, followed by three vehicles. The team of 40 people starts to operate like a precision instrument.

Nearby off-road enthusiasts who drove to Hosha gathered in front of Wu Qian’s filming team. Someone looked at the freshness and asked the team what was going on. Wu Qian asked Tian Yewang to tell everyone the real situation. It was a wave of promotion. Create a little expectation for the release of variety shows.

The sky is as blue as the scorching sun. Because the surface temperature is too high, the scenery in the distance is distorted. You can imagine how painful it is to walk on such sandy ground. If you don’t wear special thick boots, your feet will be scalded and blistered. .

Everyone in the team wore sun-proof and sand-proof clothing. Wu Qian wore sand-proof glasses and his face was tightly wrapped. Otherwise, strong ultraviolet rays can cause tons of damage to the skin in minutes. Not to mention the occasional sandstorm.

"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 horizontal review or test, it is a This is a challenging game. Whether the three cars can make it to the end, we will wait and see!"

After the opening remark, which was compressed into about 80 seconds, Kuang Ziyu, Feng Jiale and Ning Haobo sat in the driving seat one after another, started the ignition, and rushed into the desert. Fifteen Hiluxes followed, eight of which followed closely behind the target vehicle as filming vehicles.I have to say that the people in charge of driving in the filming team are all skilled.

Driving in the desert is different from driving on the road. In many cases, the direction needs to be mastered 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 donkey friends on the fringe were immediately blown away.

"Is there a funder who dares to play "Top Gear"? This is for real! I went straight to N39 to film a variety show, and I didn't find a sponsoring brand appearing, and the logo of their own company was posted on the car , This boss’s family background is really solid! But I have never heard of this company.”

"At first I thought it was sponsored by a car dealer, but just now I heard from someone in their team that all the cars were bought by the company itself, and just to shoot this show, it cost more than 1000 million just to buy a car, my god, say I am really looking forward to this program! I don’t know what platform it will be broadcast on.”

"You just went to see the car, did you notice the shooting equipment? They are all Hollywood-level cameras, each worth more than one million, and the aerial camera is more than 30. The car of their team Adding seventy and eighty pieces of equipment, there is no forty to fifty million that cannot be taken down."

"The previous two TGs were not successful, and the funds were pitiful! Although the filming has just started this time, I think there is a lot of drama. Just buying equipment exceeded the budget of the previous TG season. And I didn't spend money to hire stars to play tricks. The spicy chicken content, but the funds are spent on the show itself. This alone is incomparable to other variety shows!
And what you see is the initial investment, what about the later stage?The post-production cost is not low, my God!When I think about it carefully, my scalp tingles, this is at most one or two episodes of material, right?The investment is probably close to [-] million! "

There are too many people, and there are people who understand in various fields, exchanging the information they have learned with each other, and they are not calm in an instant.But they don't know that what they see now is only a part, and there are other links that they haven't seen.

If everyone knows that Lewis Hamilton will be the mysterious test driver of Wu Qian's show, and that Wu Qian's team will go to Silverstone to shoot the opening clip, I don't know what they will think.

Travel friends don’t think the sand is fun anymore, and they are all enthusiasts who love off-roading when they travel here by car. They were shocked by the matter of Wu Qian’s team.

"Let's go, let's follow up to see the excitement, Ma De, our Celestial Dynasty finally has a real big production!"

"Isn't that right? I don't know when their show will be filmed and released. It's so interesting. Let's go, hurry up and drive to catch up. My day, this trip is worthwhile!"

There were quite a few people gathered at the starting point of the east end of N39. In an instant, the sand was flying, and more than 30 vehicles slowly followed the route of Wu Qian's team, wanting to experience the atmosphere of shooting variety shows up close.

Even those who used to ride camels to play nearby had to pay more money to the boss. They wanted to go deep into the desert with the program shooting team to see the excitement. The boss was terrified. Could it be a joke? In the end, he persuaded Those tourists did not follow.

When Kuang Ziyu was standing on the roof of the car to record the opening scene, many of the donkey friends took photos and recorded video, which has been posted on the Internet. After entering the desert, there is no Internet, but the Internet is still covered in the edge of the desert. of.

All the cars left, except for a bald man who didn't move. He was sitting in a Land Cruiser, looking at the direction of the sandy desert, frowning tightly.

"How come the company hasn't heard anything about such a big-moving variety show? No, we need to inform the boss quickly that such an awesome show must be sponsored! It still looks like a virgin land, hurry up and seize the opportunity."

Thinking of this, the bald man hurriedly called his immediate superior, but unfortunately, his proposal was not taken seriously by the superior.

In the south of the capital, a car and Continental were parked on the runway in the abandoned airport, and there was a pickup truck in the distance. Three men in blue overalls were busy with instruments.

As early as the day Wu Qian set off, Yao Xinlu contacted Qi Xie's track design studio. When Qi Xie learned that the other party wanted to build an F1 track, she agreed to finish the matter at hand immediately and then rushed to the capital for field inspection.

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

"Sister Qi, you can see that the current situation is like this." Yao Xinlu always called Qi Xie Professor Qi at first, but Qi Xie really didn't like this overly formal title, so she just asked Yao Xinlu to call her Sister Qi directly.

Qi Yu was dressed in a white suit, her hairstyle was somewhat similar to that of Yao Xinlu, and 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, based on my own experience To judge, I know that this area must meet the land standards for building a track without an instrument.

However, it is very difficult to pass the F1 standard quality inspection of the FIA ​​and become a certified F1 track.Because each country will only have one race, the FIA ​​will not grant another quota to Tianchao. It will take time to develop. "

　Thanks to the book friend Baiyi Yinchai for the 1500 reward, and the great god Su Dan for the 1000 reward.
