Chapter 1658: Shooting begins for Man vs. Wild!





Overseas somewhere.


At a small public airport, Zhang Ye was on the phone with his family. The signal wasn’t very strong and there was a lot of background noise. He had to speak as loudly as he could.


“Mom, I’ve arrived.”


“Be careful.”


“I know, but it won’t be dangerous.”


“Still, watch out for your safety.”


“I understand. It’s about time to start the shoot. I’m gonna hang up.”


There were a total of three groups of people on the scene.


One group was made up of the locals.


Another group was Zhang Ye’s film crew.


The last group was sent by Central TV, and they were responsible for communication and ground coordination.


A person from Central TV ran over and said, “Director Zhang, the plane is ready to take off at any time. An advance party comprised of your people has already gone ahead. I’ve just established contact with them, and everything is progressing smoothly. We’ll leave the remainder of the filming and coordination to you now. If anything unexpected happens over the next few days, you all must send us a signal. The locals have repeatedly reminded us that it is very dangerous over there. It’s considered an uninhabited zone, so be very, very careful.”


Zhang Ye smiled and said, “I understand, thanks.”


The person from Central TV shook hands with him. “All the best to you guys.”


Zhang Ye said, “I’ll count on your blessings.”


On the other side of him, the pilot stepped forward and handed them the parachutes.


Zhang Ye and Sun Kuang were the only two on the film crew who needed to skydive this time.


Sun Kuang took his parachute and went off.


However, Zhang Ye did not move. Instead, he unfolded his parachute amid everyone’s startled gazes.


Sun Kuang was taken aback. “What are you doing?”


The pilot said in English, “What?”


Zhang Ye said, “I’ll pack it myself.”


He unfolded it.


He spread it flat.


He folded it properly.


He executed the steps in a flowing motion.


The pilot had a look of surprise on his face as he showed a smile and gave him a thumbs up.


Sun Kuang was also a little surprised. “You’re such a professional!”


Zhang Ye smiled. “I feel at ease knowing that I packed it myself.”


Sun Kuang could be considered someone who knew his stuff when it came to skydiving, although he wasn’t exactly a professional skydiver. However, he had come across many such professionals before and knew that most experts would not usually allow others to pack their parachutes for them. Due to certain beliefs or safety concerns, they would only trust themselves with such a thing. They would only feel at ease if they folded and packed it themselves. There were not a lot of such people, but Sun Kuang was clearly not one of them. That was why he a little impressed by Zhang Ye as he didn’t expect him to actually know his stuff.


Soon after, the plane took off and headed straight to the filming location.


In fact, they had already started the shoot while on the plane.


Sun Kuang secured his recording equipment.


Zhang Ye started recording his narration.


Sun Kuang occasionally glanced down. “It’s so beautiful!”


Zhang Ye smiled and said, “Stick close to me in a bit. There will be time to enjoy the views in the coming days.”


Sun Kuang confidently said, “Don’t worry, wherever you’re going, I’m going too. I guarantee you I won’t miss a shot.”


“We’re almost there. Get ready.” Zhang Ye took out an action camera 1 .


Sun Kuang said, “Do you need me to put that on for you?”


Zhang Ye waved him off and affixed it very quickly.


Sun Kuang shrugged and put on his equipment as well.


The two of them repeatedly checked their respective gear to ensure everything was in order.


The staff on the light aircraft were giving them instructions in English. “It’s very dangerous to do low-altitude jumps. We’ll find an open site where you can land. There are crocodiles and other ferocious beasts in these lands, and all kinds of different dangers as well, so are you sure you all want to head there to film the show? I suggest that you say your prayers. I hope that we can still see you when we come back to get you.” He didn’t know what kind of show they were going to shoot. All he knew was that this group of Chinese people might just be crazy.


Zhang Ye laughed and said, “We’ll make it back.”


The pilot shouted, “This place will do!”


Sun Kuang started getting nervous.


Zhang Ye took a breath. “Let’s go!”


The cabin’s hatch opened, and a strong gust of wind blew in.


Speaking of which, this was Zhang Ye’s first time skydiving. Although he had grasped the technique of skydiving, this feeling was still very strange. When this fellow leaped out of the plane, his adrenaline surged as he started free falling!


“Wow!”


Zhang Ye had a smile on his face as he yelled.


The blue sky!


The white clouds!


The jungles!


The mountains!


It was such an exhilarating feeling!


At this moment, Zhang Ye finally entered the wilderness. He pulled the ripcord and successfully deployed the parachute, slowing his descent speed. Above him, Sun Kuang also deployed his parachute. He controlled the steering and chased after Zhang Ye from behind while keeping the camera pointed at him.


Sun Kuang roared, “This is so fun!”


Below them was open ground, the best spot to land.


They were even able to see the campsite the advance party of the film crew had set up.


On the ground.


Many of the crew members were waving.


Tong Fu shouted, “Director Zhang!”


Wu Yi shouted, “We’re over here!”


Zhang Zuo laughed, “Haha, they’ve arrived!”


Sun Kuang was also calling out to them from above.


Everyone was laughing and the atmosphere was incomparably wonderful.


Actually, before they came here, everyone was still feeling a little worried. They knew how dangerous it was in a primitive uninhabited land like this, so they were all very nervous. But when they arrived, they realized how beautiful this place was. Having lived in the city for so many years, they had not experienced something like this before. It was a kind of release and exaltation for their souls. For a moment, everyone even rejoiced that Director Zhang had come up with such a show. Wasn’t this as good as disguised tourism? Haha!


But very quickly, that thought completely disappeared!


This was because at this moment, Zhang Ye suddenly had an idea. Isn’t this going too smoothly? A successful parachute jump? A safe landing? There was absolutely no sense of survival urgency that way. If one really ran into danger and was forced to parachute out into the unknown wilderness, it wouldn’t be in the carefree situation that they were in now. It just wouldn’t match up with the objective point of view of the show. Thus, he took a look around the area before suddenly twisting his body and shifting his weight to maneuver away from the open ground below him. He leisurely flew in the direction of the jungle a short distance away. This sight stunned everyone!


Zhang Zuo called out, “It’s not that way!”


Tong Fu yelled, “Fuck! That’s not it! You’re going the wrong way!”


Wu Yi shouted, “Director Zhang, where the hell are you going off to!”


Sun Kuang was also scared out of his wits. “Your sister!”


One of the greatest dangers of low-altitude jumps is the flatness of the landing site, which is a very important factor. If the ground environment was too complex? If there were swamps? If there were seas? If there were jungles? All of those could threaten the safety of the parachutist, leading to injuries or even death. They were originally supposed to land out in the open, which would be extremely easy to pull off. All they needed to do was close their eyes and they would land without any problems. The only issue was that Zhang Ye had to get a brain fart at this moment when he decided to drift towards the jungle that was further in the distance!


Sun Kuang didn’t dare follow him. Instead, he hurriedly prepared for landing!


When the studio staff saw Director Zhang drifting towards the jungle, they started panicking!


After Sun Kuang landed, everyone immediately gathered and headed toward the location Zhang Ye had drifted off to!


“Director Zhang!”


“Where are you!”


“Aiyo!”


Half an hour later.


They finally found Zhang Ye hanging in mid-air. His parachute had been caught in a tree, and his body dangled more than ten meters in the air!


Tong Fu was so scared that he was trembling. “Hurry up and rescue him!”


Zhang Zuo called out, “Come down, Director Zhang!”


But Zhang Ye was very calm. “Why would I go down? Hurry up and start capturing this on camera!”


Sun Kuang turned on the camera in a speechless manner. “This is ridiculous!”


Then Zhang Ye muttered some words and started narrating the situation that he was in. After that, he took out a dagger with much difficulty and start saving himself. If he really fell from a height of over ten meters, even if he didn’t die, he would still be crippled. So the people standing below him could not be more terrified of watching him at this moment.


A few minutes passed.


Zhang Ye jumped down from the tree looking pathetic.


Tong Fu said, “Your stunts are too dangerous!”


Wu Yi said, “Why did you have to purposely get yourself into trouble! There was flat ground for you to land, but you had to choose to land in the jungle! I really have to take my hat off to you!”


Zhang Ye looked at them. “Didn’t you guys go through the script?”


Sun Kuang was taken aback. “What script?”


“Our show’s objective is to teach others how to overcome difficulties,” Zhang Ye explained.


Sun Kuang said dumbfoundedly, “What if there aren’t any dangers?”


Zhang Ye said, “Then we have to create danger.”


Oh my god! You mean making something out of nothing, right!


Zhang Ye knew that they had never watched a similar show before, nor did they understand the value of this show, so he explained it to them. “The significance of this show lies in teaching others how to survive in the wild. Over the coming days, I will show everyone the different ways of survival and also tell the audience what they should do when they get into danger in the wilderness. So we can’t have everything go smoothly for us either. Whatever danger that other people go through or experience when they are trapped in the wilderness, I’ll also have to experience it once myself. It’s not as though a person who is truly in danger can make a phone call, and someone will be dispatched to come and rescue them. They couldn’t choose where they could land after parachuting out, or find hardtack the moment they flip their bags open. That’s not realistic. So from now on for the recording, I will enter a state of true wilderness survival. I want all of you to just treat me as someone who is trapped in this place and not try to help me.”


Sun Kuang gasped. “You’re going to die!”


At this moment, they finally understood how dangerous of a show they were going to shoot!


The terrain was dangerous!


The environment was dangerous!


The wild animals were dangerous!


The director was even more dangerous!
