6: Chapter 6: The Terrifying High-Rise Slope!
It wasn't that the director had lost his mind; it was that he knew Qin Feng couldn't stop now.
Qin Feng had performed so many dangerous stunts—wasn't he afraid or nervous himself?
Obviously, he was.
But even so, Qin Feng didn't slow down; he continued to advance at an incredible speed!
It wasn't until the director saw the look in Qin Feng's eyes through the close-up lens that he finally realized something.
Qin Feng was serious!
He was truly risking his life for this extreme challenge!
That look not only commanded the director's respect, but also made him realize that this livestream might be the perfect opportunity to change his destiny!
If he bet right, both he and the show would see their value skyrocket!
If he bet wrong, both he and the show would be doomed!
But at this moment, the director had already made his decision!
If Qin Feng dared to risk his life for an extreme challenge, what did he have to be afraid of?
At worst, he'd get thrown in jail for a few years—he would go for it!
The director grabbed his walkie-talkie and issued orders immediately.
"Send four more drones over there; we need multi-angle coverage!"
"Dedicate one drone exclusively to close-ups of Qin Feng's face, and another for long shots to capture his movements!"
"Editing team, get moving! Every spectacular stunt Qin Feng has performed needs to be edited into a short video with special effects and subtitles within three minutes!"
"Publicity team, get to your stations immediately. Post the short videos edited by the team across the entire web to draw more viewers in!"
As the director reeled off his orders, the entire Program Team sprang into action.
From these instructions, it wasn't hard for the staff to draw a conclusion.
The director had made up his mind to promote Qin Feng!
Everyone thought Qin Feng was crazy.
Not to mention whether this super dangerous Parkour would bring a devastating blow to the entire show.
Just considering the ten guests, in terms of star power, Qin Feng couldn't compare to the other nine at all.
The director's actions were clearly going to offend the other nine.
And that was indeed the case.
The director kept cutting to footage of Qin Feng doing Parkour, while the other nine guests, although they had their own dedicated drones following them and their own individual livestream rooms...
...the popularity and traffic of these sub-livestream rooms definitely couldn't compare to the main livestream room.
Soon, fans in the main livestream room started complaining in the chat.
"What is this! Why are you always showing Qin Feng? I want to see my Dilraba and Yang Mi!"
"Where is Master Bear? Master Bear and Master Ed came all this way to compete, can't the director give them more screen time? Does the cameraman even know how to film!"
"I've figured it out now, this show is probably just for this college student, right? Sisters, it's rigged—let's report them together!"
Don't underestimate the power of fans.
The combined fan base of these nine guests was massive, and seeing that the main livestream room was entirely focused on Qin Feng, they instantly blew up and started filing complaints.
These fans were top-tier experts at causing trouble.
They didn't just file reports and complaints; they also started stirring up trouble in the chat, spamming that the show was rigged and that Qin Feng was a nepotism hire.
Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, the entire Program Team became nervous.
The assistant added from the side: "Director, this won't work. If we get too many complaints and reports, we'll be throttled."
"Plus, the fans in the livestream room are stirring up chaos. If the Third Boss calls to ask about this, how are we going to explain?"
And of course, the thing they feared most happened.
Just as the assistant finished speaking, the director's phone rang.
Without any hesitation, the director answered the call.
The next second, the voice of the Third Boss shouting insults came through the phone, echoing throughout the backstage area.
"Director Wang Haiwei, is your brain stuck in a door!"
"I spent so much money to hire stars to help boost the show, why does the director keep focusing the camera on that college student? Is he your illegitimate son?"
"Do you even know how to be a director? If you don't, get out right now! I have plenty of people who can replace you!"
"Switch the main livestream room camera back to Dilraba right now and give her a close-up—a close-up, do you understand!"
The Third Boss didn't know how to run a show, but he knew what the audience loved to watch.
This kind of challenge show was called an extreme challenge, but in reality, it was just a variety show where people came to watch beautiful women and handsome men participate in activities.
What was the point of watching a college student running around on a rooftop?
Hearing how harshly the Third Boss was cursing, the assistant was already preparing to have the director switch the camera angle.
Who knew that the director would remain silent, simply making a gesture to signal that no one should move.
He stared intensely at the big screen, as if waiting for something.
Seeing that the livestream room's footage still hadn't been switched back, the Third Boss became even angrier.
"Director Wang Haiwei, are you listening to me! Say something!"
Just as the Third Boss finished speaking, the director suddenly shouted.
"Now!"
The director's shout startled everyone.
When they followed the director's gaze to the big screen, everyone's legs went weak, and their faces turned pale!
They saw Qin Feng climbing up the drainage pipe to the tenth-floor rooftop once again.
This building was a Western-style architectural anomaly; there was no platform or passage to jump across directly ahead, but rather a large, seventy-degree slope!
If Qin Feng wanted to continue forward, he had to slide down this slope and reach a small, protruding platform of less than one square meter below!
Everyone felt that this was simply not a path a human could take, or rather, it wasn't a path for survival—it was a shortcut to death!
Just as everyone thought Qin Feng's Parkour run had ended, Qin Feng didn't hesitate in the slightest and leaped!
Everyone widened their eyes, and the netizens in the livestream room were momentarily breathless upon seeing the height!
"Holy crap, is ten stories really this high? I broke into a cold sweat just looking at it!"
"Bro, just a cold sweat? I feel like my balls have been vacuum-sealed; I'm about to piss myself!"
"No way, this guy actually dares to jump down! Is he actually committing suicide?"
"Everyone dies eventually, might as well start the next life early!"
"My legs have gone weak watching this. Damn, this guy has some serious guts! If it were me, I definitely would have fallen already!"
"I can't do this, I feel like I'm having a heart attack—I can't look anymore!"
As Qin Feng jumped off the slope, the livestream room suddenly fell silent.
Everyone held their breath; no one dared to type or send messages in the chat anymore.
