Run down

The days passed slowly, and Li Li's work was also going on smoothly.

I shoot a few small supporting roles every day to increase my exposure, participate in interviews with the crew, and return to the theater to help with work. My life is fulfilling.

Although the contract with the "Life Star" program team has ended, as soon as the production team calls, Li Lai has to coordinate all aspects of her time to participate in the program.

Who made Li Lai a responsible person?

The live broadcast format this time is a little different. The two online platforms’ flagship variety shows are broadcast live simultaneously at the city stadium.

This is a rare live broadcast format, and the live broadcast it represents is very important.

The program team not only invited two Yang TV hosts, but also two notaries from the notary office.

The temperature in the south in March was already as high as 27 degrees. Li Lai had a cooling patch on his forehead, and the wind from the fan in his hand was sticky. Listening to the passionate statements of the four hosts on the stage, he understood that this live broadcast was for public welfare purposes.

The host announced that this performance was a charity performance. The teams were divided into red and blue camps according to their platforms. The two sides performed alternately, and the audiences on site and online voted in real time. The winning team would donate 10 million to charity.

The program's producer also took the stage to speak: "Every donation we make is open and transparent, and the use of each fund will be updated simultaneously on the official website. We welcome supervision from all walks of life."

"Life Star" where Li Li is located is the blue camp. The organizers must have taken certain issues into consideration. Not only do they hold the two trump cards Jing Shengxi and Lu Jia, they also invite three judges to support the team, as if to let the wind blow from the east, west, south and north.

The other party's platform is not bad either. It is a top variety show. The resident guests are very popular among the people. They win cheers and applause from the audience just by appearing on the stage. A few words can mobilize the atmosphere of the whole venue. This makes them seem particularly passive.

The sun was so hot that Li Lai had nowhere to hide. He squatted on the grass, like a wilted flower, with his head lowered, trying to reduce the area exposed to the heat.

I felt something approaching, and the sun wasn't so scorching.

Li Li slowly opened his eyes and found himself shrouded in a tall shadow. Looking up, he saw Jing Shengxi.

Looking against the light, his outline was cut out by light and shadow, so detailed that even the hair was carefully designed, a perfect statue.

I couldn't see his face clearly.

There was a man standing next to her who suddenly appeared, and then the two of them would be called away and separated by work.

Being together is just a short time.

The red and blue camps are still continuing their competition, with one side taking the stage after the other, and the atmosphere is hot both on and off the field. Neither side is inferior to the other in terms of popularity and number of fans.

Jing Shengxi brought his guitar to support Lu Jia's performance. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. The two sides looked at each other during the performance, giving the outside world a feeling that I only have eyes for you. Their momentum once surpassed that of the red team.

The red team was not willing to be outdone, and the surprises brought by the invited foreign guests were enough to make people scream.

As the three-hour performance drew to a close, the Red Team, thanks to its popularity among the public, was only a few dozen votes behind the Blue Team.

At the end, the Red Team can be declared the winner, and it is also acceptable to donate 10 million in the name of the Red Team.

However, what makes the program team difficult is that the number of fans of the blue team is too large and they cannot afford to offend them. Some fans became dissatisfied during the live broadcast of the vote counting stage and began to besiege the official website and the blue team guest accounts online.

If the disputes among several fan groups cannot be handled, they will use fan culture to escalate the situation. Then these two programs will be criticized by the higher-ups, and everyone will be doomed.

Just when I was having a headache, someone in the stands shouted into a loudspeaker, "I want to make a charity donation, too."

The noise made the venue quiet and the host on stage dazed. Fortunately, the two Yang TV hosts were surprised by the big scene and hurriedly asked the staff to hand him a microphone, asking him the reason and family background, so that the program team could squeeze out time for discussion.

The man said he was an entrepreneur. He saw children on the big screen who could not afford to go to school because of poverty and had to work in factories early, becoming mediocre people. He could not bear to see them and wanted to donate money to these children. Therefore, he not only donated 1 million in scholarships, but also volunteered to support 20 students until they went to college.

"After all, every child's future is important, and we can't let them neglect their studies."

After hearing the eldest brother's answer, the program team immediately thought of a good idea. After quickly consulting with the two platforms, the host announced it publicly.

Based on this entrepreneur's donation, the two platforms not only donated 1 million yuan each, but also invited ten guests on the scene to participate in a charity relay race.

At the same time, ten guests participating in the relay race were announced, five from the red team and five from the blue team. They are all young people, and of course the older ones can't run a few steps far.

The blue team is composed of Li Li, Jing Shengxi, Lu Jia, Bai Zhi and Cui Yang.

The ten guests wore sports bracelets and ran around the stadium track, regardless of time or ranking. In the end, the total kilometers of the ten people were added up to calculate the platform's sponsorship of students, and one kilometer was equal to sponsoring one student.

"I'll add another 500 for every kilometer."

Li Lai squinted his eyes to see the boss in the stands wearing sunglasses waving his cheering stick: "This boss and I are from the same hometown. I can't be vague about charity. I will donate 500 yuan for every kilometer."

Li Lai responded: "Boss, if you pay me one thousand, I will run for you with our company banner."

There was laughter from the stands, and it was unclear whether they were laughing at Li Lai, the ignorant artist who was trying to climb up the ladder, or at whether the boss could afford to pay for such words.

The boss stood up and proudly pulled a bank card from his wallet, slapping it on the seat. He said in broken Mandarin, "I'm donating the money on this card to the children in the mountainous areas. If you run a few kilometers, I'll donate a few thousand yuan for the rest."

Suddenly, the laughter turned into exclamations.

Li Li licked her dry lips and proudly clasped her fists towards the stands, "Everyone here has witnessed that this big brother is also a heroic man. I, Li Li, am not very strong, so I will use all my strength. When I see that I am exhausted, please raise your hands and applaud me. Come on!"

The host quickly responded: "This is very hard work, do you all have confidence?"

Li Lai said generously: "This big brother is a chivalrous knight. We are just selling our strength and taking advantage of his luck to donate money to the children in the mountainous areas."

"Then I still say the same thing, I will donate as much as the number of laps you run."

The atmosphere on the scene went from lively to tense, and people's courage suddenly increased. On the live broadcast platform, various fan clubs also announced that no matter what results their artists achieved, the fan clubs would donate their love to charity organizations.

While the staff were cleaning up the venue, they quickly changed their clothes.

Jing Shengxi handed out energy drinks to everyone on the blue team. He walked over to Li Lai, who was warming up, and after a moment of obvious hesitation, asked, "How many laps do you want to run?"

"Until I can't run anymore."

Jing Shengxi looked down at her feet, but Li Li stomped her feet hard to indicate that she was fine.

Pretending to adjust his clothes to force Jing Shengxi to retreat, the two of them resumed their relationship of neither being too close nor too distant, neither too awkward nor too sad.

Li Li didn't know that Jing Shengxi was the one who rushed to distribute the energy water.

I only saw him focusing his eyes on his right foot, which was more uncomfortable than being exposed to the sun.

It is inappropriate to go any further. The best distance is to keep a distance.

With the sound of the starting gun, a contest of endurance began. Cheers came from the venue one after another, and the online live broadcast screen was filled with cheers. A section in the upper right corner announced the number of kilometers each guest had run.

One lap of the stadium is 400 meters, and there are cameras waiting not far away.

After three rounds of filming, some people could not hold on any longer and fell far behind the main group.

After the fifth lap, some people had already been left behind and could only rely on sports watches to calculate their running kilometers.

[This guy named Li Li is such a fast runner! He's already run six 400-meter laps and is still going.]

[This girl was running when I first entered the live studio, and she was still running 27 minutes later.]

[A little-known fact: Li Li graduated from a sports school and practiced long-distance running. She even represented the city in a provincial competition and won first place in the long-distance running event.]

[So awesome.]

[That's not right. As the provincial champion in long-distance running, shouldn't I be training with the national team?]

[If you search the news on City B TV, you'll see she was on the list of people selected for the national team training camp. I don't know why she later went into acting.]

[Perhaps they just wanted to make a quick buck, completely unaware that being a star is much harder, and that it would be better to win glory for the country on the track.]

[No, I remember a sports reporter saying she had a foot injury.]

[She has already run eight laps, and you said her foot is injured.]

[I could tell she was a sports person. She ran at her own pace and wasn't at all surprised.]

Li Li's name was ranked first on the big screen, and the mileage increased with her running speed.

The dopamine in her body began to increase, her muscles began to get excited, her brain chose to block out external sounds, and all she could see was the runway under her feet.

"She wants to run before she learns to walk." This is how her grandmother described her.

Other children learn to walk step by step, but she runs like crazy. She will run when she is not watched, and then she will fall and her knees will be injured all over.

Being young, he didn’t learn from his mistakes. After the scar healed, he forgot the pain and continued running.

When she grew up, her family asked her why she ran. She said that she wanted to see the stars in the sky and wanted to run up to the sky to see them.

She especially likes the first star that appears in the sky just after dark, a bright and dazzling star.

Li Lai was very curious and wanted to know what the star looked like and whether there were fairies living on it. She broke free from her mother's hand and ran away, wanting to get closer to the star. Unfortunately, she was always caught by her father, who scolded her severely, and her sister next to her would laugh at her.

"Sister, the stars are in the sky and you are on the ground. You can't catch them."

"Impossible! It happened on TV. The guy ran and caught up with the guy in the sky."

"That's a martial arts film, and the people performing the martial arts are all hanging by ropes."

"Yang Liwei landed on the moon, so I think I can do it too."

"Yang Liwei was able to land on the moon only by making a rocket."

"Sister, don't talk, you big bad guy."

Curiosity drove Li Li's legs to run hard.

When I was in elementary school, I ran faster than other children of the same age. My family thought that since they already had an older daughter who was a good student, they would send the younger one to a sports school. Who knows, she might win a medal one day.

He entered the sports school for training in the first and third grades, got a place on the provincial team in high school, won first place in the provincial long-distance race, and was included in the national team training list. Everything was developing in a positive direction.

According to her mother's idea, she joined the national team to compete and win honor for her hometown. After retiring, she followed her sister to learn cultural knowledge.

She never imagined that her second daughter would one day be able to act by hanging on wires.

Sweat trickled into his eyes, irritating them so that he couldn't open them. He glanced over and saw that Jing Shengxi, who was running on the other lane, was already on par with him, and their pace was the same.

Then I think heartbeat and breathing should be the same.

My right foot started to hurt, and my knee also started to hurt.

Li Li bit the tip of her tongue and told herself to persevere until she fell down and couldn't get up anymore.

Hours of running to reach for the stars.

As a teenager I ran to finish a spot.

Now people run just to run one more kilometer, so that a child can go to school.

Learning may not be the only way out, but it will definitely help you get out of your current predicament.

Li Li felt a sharp pain in her ankle for a moment, and she thought to herself that something was wrong. Her running rhythm was obviously disturbed and before she could adjust, she fell to the ground uncontrollably.

Falling to the ground, Li Li looked at Jing Shengxi and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Run!"

This part of life is too difficult. They have just learned to walk and have not found the right shoes, but they start running. If they stop, they will lose.
