Starlight Shines is a blind-box variety show with an investment of tens of billions. The money had originally been earmarked for something else, and debt collector Qian Lai became the show's head producer to get it back.
To recover the debt, amnesiac, broke Qian Lai explored carefully and filmed boldly from the start.
The result was a hit variety show on a scale no one dared to imitate.
Netizens raved: "Wow! This isn't a variety show, it's a godsend for cleaning up the entertainment industry. Let's crowdfund eighty or a hundred seasons so all the celebrities can get some training."
Other work-themed shows: Celebrities eat and drink well, coast through the job, pick up an hourly wage of 300, and put on a show of feeling for ordinary people's hardships.
Qian Lai's approach: Make celebrities ordinary people again.
Take the bus and subway, submit resumes, and look for work. Start with 500 yuan. Filming lasts at least a month, and if you can't find a job, you go hungry.
Here, every celebrity's star power is useless.
Watching celebrities get scammed out of their money, tricked into taking out loans, and nearly lured into pyramid schemes...
Qian Lai promptly calls the police: "Thank you for your hard work, guests. Here's a glass of water, and a little heartfelt support."
Please be careful, everyone. Watch out for scams.
By the way, you still haven't earned today's money, so keep at it, and stay safe.
Acting variety show
Other shows: Fake lessons, real favoritism, and more exciting infighting than acting.
Qian Lai: No tricks, just acting.
New technology lets guests perform as if they were truly there.
Child stars always regret not having enough life experience to portray a character's complexity. Now, I'll make that wish come true.
Guests, please note: From this moment on, treat everything here as the real world.
If your acting is terrible, watch out. The NPCs might take you out.
If your acting is just barely passable, you'll have to repeat the current scene over and over until you get it right.
After one wooden pop idol appeared on the show, his fans were moved to tears: "Our dear brother suffered so much. He was amazing. His acting was explosive. How could he make fear look so real?"
Passersby: "Good grief, that was incredible! The wooden guy finally got it? Did I actually see emotion in his eyes? He portrayed fear so well he gave me goosebumps! Not bad, I'm a fan now."
Manager: "You've improved so much this time. Are the show's mentors really that good? Why don't you go on for a few more episodes?"
The pop idol, who finally got the hang of it after experiencing twelve different ways to die: "No, no, maybe not."
