The show. Survival, had almost no promotion or hype before it started No frills or gimmicks.
The day after Fancy Island finished filming, Eileen got a call from Ophelia right after she had left the set. Ophelia asked her to join the filming of Survival immediately
“Is it that urgent?” Eileen was surprised.
Tm not sure,” Ophelia responded, “The production team said the rainy season might come early this year, so they want to start filming
sooner.”
“They even differentiate between the rainy and dry seasons, Eileen remarked casually, “They seem pretty professional. Alright, give me their contact info, and I’ll get in touch with them.“
Meanwhile, over at the Lopez family home in the Capital, Sarah was frantically getting her servants to pack. She glanced at Hedy, who was leisurely munching on grapes on the couch. “Why on earth are you going on that reality show? Just by the name, it sounds dangerous. If you really want to break into the entertainment industry, your father can invest in a TV show for you to star in.”
Hedy swallowed her grape, grinning. “Mom, the show isn’t dangerous. It’s just a camping trip. Besides, Hubery is going with me. If you don’t trust me, don’t you trust Hubery?”
Sarah frowned, “Trust him? And who is he?”
Hedy was taken aback, looking at her mother.
Sarah continued, “The Cooper family has fallen. Hubery used to be their heir and now he’s trying to pay off his debts by becoming a little star. How pathetic! He’s not worthy of you. Why are you still associating with him?”
“Mom,” Hedy protested, ‘Don’t look down on Hubery. I believe he will succeed. What if he becomes as successful as Egbert and stands at the peak of the entertainment industry? Isn’t that a kind of success, too?” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“How could that be possible?” Sarah scoffed.
Hedy took Sarah’s arm and coaxed her for a while.
Sarah was both helpless and soft hearted. Seeing that the servants had already brought down the luggage, she said, “You all accompany Hedy to the airport and follow her. Make sure to take care of her on the way. If she gets hurt even a little bit, I’ll hold you responsible!*
The location for the first episode of Survival was set in Brazil.
Eileen found it amusing when she received her plane ticket from the production team.
She had never heard of a reality show being filmed abroad before. How could she have missed such a huge project in her previous life?
As soon as she got on the plane, Eileen fell asleep.
Meanwhile, at the Lopez Group headquarters in the USA, Sawyer was busy at work when he received a phone call.
A woman’s voice on the other end asked, “Is Mr. Reed seeing another woman?”
Sawyer looked at the caller ID and paused for a moment before saying. “Elaine Lopez, don’t talk nonsense!”
Elaine’s voice was full of malicious intent. ‘You know whether I’m talking nonsense or not. Are you blinded by her beauty? Her name is Eileen, right? She’s going to be on a reality show called Survival, isn’t she?”
“Elaine, what are you trying to do? Don’t do anything stupid!” Sawyer started to panic.
Elaine said, “I’m not going to do anything stupid, but I want her lo suffer. It’s quite a coincidence that I’m also participating in that show.” “What? You, a soldier, why would you participate in a reality show?”
“It’s not just any reality show, and it’s a jungle adventure show. It was originally a military project organized by the government, planned to be a documentary. But, due to the high budget and severe losses, it was changed into a reality show. To make it a reality show, they needed stars to join. In fact, we, the soldiers, are the real protagonists of the show. The stars are just there to attract sponsors and advertisers!”
Elaine continued, ‘Since it’s such a coincidence that we’ll be in the same place, I’ll cherish this opportunity. I’ll meet Eileen in person when the time comes.”
“Elaine, I’m warning you, you better not.”
Elaine had already hung up.
Sawyer threw his phone down, running his hands through his hair in frustration!
Aller thinking for a moment, he dialed another number.
The call was quickly picked up, and a gruff male voice came through, “Saul, what’s up?”
“Burton Lopez, are you still on duty?”
Burton paused before answering, “No, I just finished my last assignment. I’m on break now, why?”
“Your sister is about to cause trouble.”
“My sister? Elaine? What did she do?”
Sawyer quickly explained the situation.
After hearing everything, Burton yelled out in anger, “What? Someone is trying to steal our aunt’s man?”
“Who told you that? She’s not trying to steal our aunt’s man, and it’s Elaine! That crazy woman is looking for trouble with her!”
“Okay, I get it. I submit a report immediately and go with her to the show. But Saul, are you sure this woman doesn’t have anything going on with Mr. Reed?”
Sawyer wasn’t sure. The day he confessed his feelings for Eileen, Mr. Reed punched him.
But.
“No matter what, she can’t get into trouble!” He ended the call quickly, feeling quilty
Back in his army dorm, Burton looked at the disconnected call, feeling increasingly uneasy. Finally, he gritted his teeth and dialed Egbert’s number.
He was going to ask Mr. Reed face-to-face!
When Eileen got out of the airport, she saw the show’s crew member waiting for her.
He was holding a big sign with “Eileen” written on it
Eileen walked over to him, but he just looked at her and continued holding up the sign.
Wasn’t he there to pick her up?
She asked uncertainly, “Is this the Survival show team?”
The staff seemed surprised, saying awkwardly. “Are you Ms. Lopez?”
Eileen nodded sadly, “Yes, that’s me.”
Didn’t the show crew say they admired her, and after seeing her knife skills video, they particularly wanted to invite her? Now that she’s standing here, can the staff still not recognize her?
The staff immediately replied, ‘The car’s waiting outside. Lets go to the gathering point first.”
Eileen followed the other party out of the airport with some displeasure and then saw a slightly dirty small off-road vehicle parked
outside.
As soon as Eileen got in the car, she felt something was off. The car didn’t look special from the outside, but the interior was all military grade.
There was even a military walkie-talkie next to the driver’s seat.
Eileen frowned at the walkie-talkie
The staff got into the driver’s seat, noticed Eileen’s gaze, casually put the walkie-talkie into the box in the back seat, and then started the
car
An hour later, they arrived at their destination, a temporary camp in the middle of nowhere.
Eileen looked at the soldiers coming and going in their military uniforms with a puzzled face.
The staff led Eileen into a tent. There were already six or seven people inside.
Eileen looked at everyone, all minor celebrities from the entertainment industry whose names she couldn’t even remember.
No wonder she’d never heard of this show in her previous life.
“One, two, three, four.” The staff member who brought Eileen in counted the people, then said, “There are ten celebrity guests in total. Three haven’t arrived yet. When everyone’s here, someone will tell you what to do next. Chill out for now.”
With that, he left.
Eileen stood at the tent entrance, looking outside, then inside, and finally at the people in the tent, all eyeing each other.
