Once at the camp, the drivers and navigators can relax and concentrate on recovering physically and mentally, while the opposite of them is the team staff, which is the busiest time.

Even if there were no accidents along the way, they still ran that far in the end. Prolonged bumps, dust, water, gravel, and other unfavorable factors are likely to cause damage to the car.

It may not be obvious at first, but don't forget that the Dakar Rally is not one of those sprint races that can be completed in a day.

If you don't pay attention to small problems, when you accumulate more, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, and when you become a big problem, it's too late to repair them. To put it bluntly, it is to avoid the situation of 'a thousand miles of embankment collapse in an anthill'.

The crew has to carry out the maintenance and maintenance of the car. It's not a lot of work, but it has to be very careful and careful, so it's quite time-consuming to actually do.

Compared with the professional technicians in the team, the staff of the program team are not much easier. This is also their busiest time.

Among these staff members are not only the people from the "Infinite Challenge" program team, but also journalists from SBS, KBS, MBC TV stations.

In order to meet their needs, but also to avoid being compared with the other two TV stations, these three TV stations have sent news teams to follow the car pair throughout the whole process and report the latest news at any time.

This "anytime" means that reporters will record what they see or hear at any time, not that the TV station in South Korea will broadcast the news at any time.

In the end, it is more formal news, and it must be arranged to be broadcast on news programs. The need to send news back home before the news program aired invisibly put a stopwatch on the heads of the reporters who stayed in the convoy.

Moreover, there is another problem that cannot be ignored, and that is the time difference. In South Korea, it is not as dominant as China's CCTV. The news programs of the three TV stations are different, not only in terms of content, but also in terms of airtime.

KBS and SBS news are broadcast at 8 p.m., and MBC is broadcast at 9 p.m., in this case. Viewers who wait for news will obviously choose to tune in to KBS and SBS news programs. MBC News, which airs an hour late, won't get much attention.

And that's just the main news show in the evening, and the difference in airtime isn't too big. Looking at the daytime, the broadcast time of morning news, noon news, news bulletin, and so on is much worse.

For most viewers, watching the same news once is enough. So. If you want to attract viewers to tune in again when the airtime is lagging behind, you can only rely on the content to decide the winner.

In order to make the news on their side more different, the reporters of several TV stations did their best, not only digging up all aspects of the news in the Wuxuan team, but also extending their tentacles to other participating teams.

Whether it is to interview Li Jingyuan and others from the unchallenged team. If you want to interview the drivers of other teams, you can only do so while they are back at camp. Moreover, the drivers soon have to rest after a tiring day, which means that there is less time for journalists to act.

Reporters from several television stations were busy interviewing, and several groups of people were running around the camp with cameras.

The reporters took action, and the staff of the unchallenged team were not idle, under the greeting of Kim Tae-ho. Several leaders gathered together for a meeting.

For the unchallenged team, this time it was not only about participating in the competition, but also about filming a wonderful special program. The better the results, the more exciting the show, from that point of view. The two purposes do not actually conflict.

However, how to shoot these 'wonderful' is a big problem.

For example, in "Two Days and One Night". You can set up a fixed camera in the car, or you can watch the car follow the members. It's easy to take pictures of all kinds of unexpected situations that the members actively or passively encountered during the trip.

But what about this time? Obviously. The old methods are no longer applicable.

Lee Kyung-won and Yoo Jae-seok were participating in the competition, not traveling in a car. It's so fast, it's not easy to keep up. Moreover, even if you have that skill, you don't have that qualification, and not all cars can be on the track. These two reasons are destined to make the program team unable to drive behind and shoot as usual.

If you can't follow the camera, you have to install a camera in the car.

Perhaps you have all seen the Dakar Rally, and some of the footage was indeed taken by a fixed camera in the car. From this point of view, it doesn't seem to be a foul to have a camera in your car.

Not really. The cameras in the car were installed by the event organizers, and their fundamental purpose was not to shoot, but to act as a 'black box'. The Dakar Rally was a difficult one, and no one knew what was going to happen on the way, so the cameras were set up to record all the details of the accident.

Especially in times of 'casualties', the images captured by these cameras are even more important. For example, if a car hits and kills a passerby, whether it is because of the driver's mistake or because of the passerby's own 'foul', how to determine who is responsible for the accident must be determined with the help of the footage captured by the camera.

The race organizers have installed several small cameras on each car, which have occupied several of the best positions and angles. Under this premise, even if the program team is allowed to install a camera, it will not be able to find a suitable position.

If you can't get the camera on the car and you can't get the perfect picture, it's better not to install it.

Taking a step back, it's also a good idea to call in some of the captured footage from the organizers. Of course, it is impossible to take them all, so even if it is to supplement, the program team must find another way to shoot.

Fortunately, at the beginning, the program team thought of a way, that is, to use helicopters to shoot in the air.

The remote-controlled helicopter that often appears on the show is not used at all. It must be remotely controlled, and the controller cannot always follow the car to move its position, so the flight radius of the remote-controlled helicopter is not large. It is not possible to follow the shooting for a long time.

You can only rent a real helicopter for follow-up. Here, two new problems inevitably arise.

The first is the cost. Although it received a large amount of sponsorship, most of these expenses were used to participate in competitions, and only a small part could be used as a budget for filming the show.

I don't know when an accident will happen in the road. Then you can only shoot the whole thing. That is, the time to rent a helicopter is not a few hours, nor a day or two, but a dozen days from beginning to end. That's a lot of money. Even if the budget of the program team is more than usual, they can only reluctantly rent a plane.

There are two cars in the team, and although they start next to each other, they are separated by a long distance when they are actually in the middle of the race. Like today. Li Jingyuan arrived at the camp first, and Liu Zaishi was nearly an hour behind him. In other words, the distance between the two cars is at least nearly an hour's distance, at least tens of kilometers.

Helicopters are not satellites, so it is certainly impossible to film the race conditions of both cars at the same time. Therefore, whether to follow Li Jingyuan's car or Liu Zaishi's car, you must first make a choice.

Li Jingyuan's skills are better, and his results should be better than Liu Zaishi; Liu Zaishi's skills are slightly worse. Accidents on the road are a little more likely. Following Lee Kyung-won may be able to shoot exciting victory scenes, and following Yoo Jae-seok may be able to shoot touching struggle scenes, which does sound a little inhumane, but from the perspective of stimulating the audience, Yoo Jae-seok's accident and Lee Kyung-won's achievements play almost the same role.

In addition to being difficult to choose. There is another issue that needs to be paid attention to when using a helicopter to follow the shot.

The first day was the regular period, so there weren't those timing points. From the second day, the riders will be exposed to the first special stage of the race.

On the special stages, there will be some waypoints. These waypoints are divided into several types. They are called WPV, WPE, WPM, and WPS points, according to the rules. Riders have to force their way through these waypoints.

WPV is a visible waypoint, which is marked on the road book and GPS, so it is not difficult to find. The remaining three waypoints of WPE, WPM, and WPS are slightly different, although they are also recorded in the road book and GPS, but the specific coordinates will not be disclosed at the beginning, and the GPS will only receive the signal when the drivers are three kilometers away from the waypoint, and then mark these waypoints.

It may not sound like a difficult thing to get a signal from a distance of three kilometers, but it is not so easy to actually operate.

The route of the Dakar Rally is not static, as long as the competitors run in the right direction, the specific route can be chosen. It's not uncommon for a driver to run on the road and another driver on another road a few kilometres away, not on the same road, but to keep going hand in hand, not unusually at the Dakar Rally.

It's not surprising to miss WPE and WPS points, let alone WPM points. According to the rules, riders must pass within a radius of 200 meters from the WPM point, otherwise it is a foul. Penalties are also severe, ranging from a one-hour time penalty to a mandatory withdrawal.

Having said all this, some people may ask, does the use of helicopter aerial photography have anything to do with this?

Of course it matters, helicopters are in the sky, and it is easier to spot waypoints. If they give them a hint, the riders on the ground will be able to find the wayside more easily and quickly.

The purpose of renting a helicopter was for filming. But from the perspective of the event organizers, they have to take precautions, if the program team uses helicopters to cheat on Lee Kyung-won and Yoo Jae-seok, it will be too unfair to other contestants.

After the report, although the program team was allowed to rent an airplane for aerial photography, in order to prevent them from cheating, the event organizer still sent two staff members, who will stay on the plane with the cameraman of the program team to supervise.

The technical staff of the team, the news reporters of various TV stations, and the staff of the unchallenged program team are all busy, so what are Li Jingyuan and other artists doing?

The artists who accompanied him were all selected, and none of them were vases that were not useful. Some people are helping the program team to prepare, some people are helping the technical staff to repair the car, and some people are temporarily becoming the helpers of the reporters to assist them in interviewing together.

There are not too many people who stay with Li Jingyuan and Liu Zaishi. There are only a few female entertainers. At this time, under the leadership of Lee Hyori, they massaged the bodies of the four people participating in the competition, so that they could get better relaxation and rest.

The camp was improvised, with no houses and only tents. The equipment of the massage center is also a little rudimentary. A few mats were laid directly on the ground. Towels were laid on top of the mat, which was the bunk where Li Jingyuan and the others would lie down when they received massages.

Although the environment and conditions are very simple, it is already very good for Li Jingyuan and Liu Zaishi.

Not physical feelings, but psychological satisfaction.

"Tsk. I can also have this day, and I can enjoy Xiaoli's massage. While lying on the mat to accept Li Xiaoli's service, he couldn't help but sigh, and Liu Zaishi's appearance looked a little proud: "Jing Yuan, do you remember?" Previously in "The Birth of a Family". What does Hyo-ri look like every time we come back from a hard night's work? ”

"What else can it be, either sleep until your face is swollen, or you are snoring, anyway, I have never seen Sister Xiaoli get up in the middle of the night to greet us." Very unceremoniously, Li Jingyuan followed Liu Zaishi's words and criticized Li Xiaoli.

"Smack~!" Maybe he heard the forbidden words 'snoring' and 'swollen face', or felt that Liu Zaishi's words were very inauthentic, so Li Xiaoli temporarily stopped the massage action, slapped Liu Zaishi's back and scolded with a smile: "Oppa, do you dare to say that I have never taken care of you?" Don't be too unconscionable. ”

not only cleaned up Liu Zaishi himself. Li Xiaoli also greeted Song Qian, who was serving Li Jingyuan on the side: "Victoria, slap that guy a few times for me, what he said is too annoying~." ”

"Smack~!" Very simply, Song Qian slapped Li Jingyuan on the back, and then said with a smile: "Jingyuan." Don't blame me, I just listen to the command of my seniors. ”

Song Qian's slap was not fake, it did use some strength, and the tone of the latter sentence was also teasing Li Jingyuan. After seeing this scene. Li Xiaoli laughed very proudly and gave Song Qian a thumbs up.

When it comes to private relationships. Song Qian is indeed a little more familiar with Li Jingyuan. However, since arriving in Argentina, she has been staying with Lee Hyori for the past few days.

Who is Lee Hyori? Charisma is not fake. It's only been a few days, and she is very familiar with Song Qian. Although there is a bit of an age gap, the two quickly became good friends.

If she was not familiar with Li Xiaoli, then Song Qian might just pretend to deal with it, but now, the two of them are partners on the same front, so after getting the order, Song Qian will not hesitate to poison Li Jingyuan.

"Whew~!" At this time, even if it doesn't hurt, you have to pretend to be in pain, the harder you carry it, the more likely it is to receive a 'second blow', of course a shrewd person like Li Jingyuan will not be stupid enough to talk back, and immediately after being photographed, he pretended to have a 'big blow' expression.

"Jing Yuan, do you feel aggrieved?" Li Xiugen and Jin Bingwan watched the excitement on the sidelines and watched the excitement very happily, and after laughing, Li Xiugen also teased Li Jingyuan: "Hehe, looking at your expression, it seems that you are not very satisfied with Victoria's massage technique, do you want to ~~~~~?" ”

The strange tone pulled a long note, and Li Xiugen's meaning was already obvious. The people present are all good at variety shows, how can they not understand at this time, so Liu Zaishi immediately followed Li Xiugen's words and said: "I want Jessica~!" Right? Jing Yuan, you want Jessica to give you a massage, right? ”

A week ago on Christmas Eve, Lee Kyung-won and Jessica finally broke through the last step. And the next day, he had to leave Jessica's side because of the Dakar Rally. Thinking about it, I also know how difficult it will be for Li Jingyuan in the past few days.

In the past few days in Argentina, whenever he has time, Li Jingyuan will call Jessica. If Jessica is on a trip, the call won't be too long, and if Jessica is back in the dormitory, the call will last for at least an hour.

The time is long and short, and he has made countless phone calls, no matter how much Li Jingyuan hides from people, it is impossible for him not to show his feet at all.

originally knew the true relationship between Li Jingyuan and Jessica, and then found that Li Jingyuan's behavior was very abnormal, so Liu Zaishi made a guess based on his own experience. After asking again, he knew the progress of Li Jingyuan and Jessica.

As a big brother, Liu Zaishi will of course be happy for Li Jingyuan, but as a bad friend, he will not let go of the opportunity to make fun of Li Jingyuan. No, let him catch it again.
