Jiang Dao naturally didn't know that he was about to be ruthlessly "betrayed".
Back in the room, he re-touched his makeup and combed his hair, then got into the crew's car and headed to the location for recording the dinner challenge in the afternoon.
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a small courtyard built on the mountain.
The courtyard is quaint and has a plaque on the gate with seven characters engraved in iron-painted and silver-hooked letters: "Zhu Huai Martial Arts Museum". Through the courtyard wall, you can see lush vegetation, numerous pavilions and towers, and stone steps winding up along the mountain wall.
The staff quickly decorated a small open space outside the courtyard gate and began recording the warm-up part of the afternoon challenge content.
"The predecessor of the Zhuhuai Martial Arts Museum was a mountain courtyard rebuilt for the filming of classic martial arts dramas. Before the concept of film and television city emerged, many classic martial arts movies were filmed here."
"Today, it has been converted into a museum, which houses the original manuscripts of films that were shot here, film costumes, props, historical photos, and a large number of scenes built to imitate classic clips from the series."
"Today, our dinner challenge - tearing off the name tag - will begin here."
As soon as the voiceover finished, Lu Jun clicked his tongue twice and complained, "I knew it was another name tag tearing!"
"Brother Lu," Tang Yao patted Lu Jun's shoulder, "Brother Lu, they had just put name tags on our backs when they came. Everyone knows that the dinner challenge is to tear off the name tags. You don't have to be so excited."
"Rather than the challenge, I'm more concerned about what dinner is?" Yi Bailu asked with a smile, "Are we still divided into the red team and the white team?"
The director team replied in voiceover: "Today's dinner is the famous Nagisa Huai Water Banquet. According to the highest standards of the water banquet, there are a total of 15 soups and stews. But these soups and stews are not something that everyone can enjoy."
"In the dinner challenge, having your name tag torn off means you are eliminated. The last remaining guest becomes the winner and can enjoy all 15 dishes of the banquet. The second to last eliminated guest can choose 12 dishes, the third to last guest can choose 9 dishes, and so on."
"There are only three of each dish, so the faster a guest is eliminated, the smaller the range of dishes they can choose from."
After listening to the director team's introduction, Chu Yinlong reached out and patted Jiang Dao on the shoulder: "Come on, don't get caught too quickly."
Jiang Dao turned his head and glanced at him, saying, "As long as you don't come, I'm not afraid of others."
Chu Yinlong smiled: "Don't underestimate Tang Yao, he is quite powerful."
Edao shrugged, unfazed.
If he can't beat him, can't he run away?
After recording the opening, the guests were blindfolded and led by their respective cameras into the courtyard of the Martial Arts Museum.
After all the personnel were in place, the director's voice rang out over the museum radio: "Dinner challenge begins now!"
Jiang Dao raised his hand to take off the blindfold, looking around vigilantly, observing the environment he was in.
This is a corner of a garden. In the early summer, the garden is full of flowers. On the stone road stands a bronze statue of three people fighting. There is a pond in the middle of the garden, and in the pond stand two bronze statues walking on the water. Not far away, you can see a two-story building by the water. To the west is a stone road leading to the mountain behind you.
This place has no terrain to rely on and there is a pool of water blocking the way, so it is not a good choice for hiding. Jiang Dao decided to move as soon as possible.
He did not choose to go up the mountain to avoid meeting others, nor did he go in the direction of the two-story building. Instead, he tried to use the cover of vegetation to explore the terrain of the museum courtyard first.
"You, come here." Jiang Dao waved to his cameraman, took him around a few times, hid in the bushes in the garden, and then reminded him, "Don't show your head. I'll find out where everyone is first. Stay safe."
The cameraman carried the camera and crouched with Jiang Dao, sneaking along the shadows of the vegetation to the base of the garden wall without meeting anyone along the way.
Jiang Dao observed carefully for a moment through the carved window and confirmed that the area opposite was safe. He then quickly climbed up the privet tree planted against the wall. Like a nimble cat, he used the branches to climb over the wall and landed lightly on the other side of the wall.
Follow the video: ...
He could hide in the bushes together, but he couldn't!
“Jiang Dao!” The cameraman cried out towards the carved window, “I can’t get through!”
Jiang Dao then realized that his camera was stuck on the other side and said helplessly, "Sorry, I forgot."
His former companions were all as capable as he was in climbing trees and climbing roofs, but this was the first time he had a burden with him.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Dao came back and turned into another path with the camera.
As soon as he emerged from a door with hanging flowers, Jiang Dao saw Lu Jun walking towards him with a camera.
Jiang Dao quickly glanced at the surroundings, raised his hand to block the camera behind him, and whispered, "Stay here for a while and don't move."
After saying that, he turned around and ran a few steps back along the wall, climbed up a lush privet tree beside the wall, and as if replicating his previous movements, he landed almost silently opposite the hanging flower gate - hiding behind a rockery shrub against the wall.
Lu Yun and his cameraman didn't notice Jiang Dao's unusual movements at all and continued to move towards the Chuihua Gate.
"I think there might be someone hiding at the door, preparing to attack me." Lu Jun was still chatting with his cameraman, "Tang Yao likes to play this trick the most, and doesn't take care of me, his big brother, at all. Sigh... young people nowadays don't know how to respect their elders at all..."
Before he could finish his words, the cameraman who was the first to step into the hanging flower gate met one of his colleagues, but did not see the guest that the other person was filming, and was stunned.
Lu Jun also passed through the hanging flower gate at this time, and was startled by the cameraman squatting by the door: "You! What are you doing here? Where is the person you are following?!"
The next moment, Lu Jun felt something brushing past his back quickly, followed by a crisp "hiss", and his clothes were deformed by a force.
Lu Yun turned around suddenly.
Jiang Dao was leaning against the hanging flower gate, holding Lu Yun's name tag in his hand, looking over with a smile.
"You!" Lu Jun was stunned, "Where did you come from?!"
Jiang Dao tilted his head and smiled: "Guess?"
Lu Jun collapsed: "I came over there, why didn't I see you? You, you...you were filming here, why did you run to the back?!"
Jiang Dao's cameraman couldn't help but interject: "Kojima is amazing, you'll know once the film is edited."
At this time, the director team, who learned the result through the camera intercom, announced on the museum radio: "Lu Yun, OUT!"
When Lu Yun was taken away by the staff, her face was filled with grief and anger, and she pretended to cry to Jiang Dao: "Xiao Dao! After the show is finished, you must treat me to a meal! It's all your fault, I'm going to be hungry for dinner tonight!"
Jiang Dao leaned against the door frame of the hanging flower gate, smiled and waved to Lu Yun as a farewell.
"It seems like you are very suitable for this game."
Suddenly, Chu Yinlong's voice sounded behind Jiang Dao.
Jiang Dao suddenly turned around, his eyes like arrows, piercing straight at the man standing not far behind him.
Chu Yinlong was also suddenly stunned.
At this moment, for some reason, a layer of cold sweat broke out on the back of his neck, his adrenaline surged, and the blood in his limbs seemed to be burning. He was ready for a fight at any time.
However, this fear quickly dissipated.
In the blink of an eye, the big boy in front of Chu Yinlong regained his previous self...simple, optimistic and cheerful, just like he should be at his age.
Jiang Dao leaned against the wall beside the hanging flower door and asked with a smile: "Teacher Chu, you won't tear me apart so soon, right?"
Chu Yinlong raised his eyebrows: "Since you have met, why don't you tear it apart?"
Jiang Dao thought about it and tried to negotiate: "How about this, we join forces. I don't look strong, so I'm perfect as bait, you can trick others into coming here for you to tear apart. Then... I can just try 12 dishes, and you can give the first place."
Chu Yinlong couldn't help but laugh, his voice was low and a little nasal.
"What do you use as a guarantee?" he asked, "How can I believe that you won't team up with Tang Yao to tear me down?"
"I'm not familiar with him." Jiang Dao made up an excuse.
"Are you familiar with me?" Chu Yinlong questioned.
"After all, we were in a team together." Jiang Dao answered fluently.
Chu Yinlong looked at Jiang Dao for a long time, then raised his lips and said, "Since we are seeking cooperation, we must reach a consensus... Next, I will deal with Zhou Wei, and you will deal with Yi Bailu, and then we will meet up and tear Tang Yao apart together. Is that ok?"
Jiang Dao thought about it and nodded: "No problem."
Chu Yinlong turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly turned back and said, "By the way, I'll give you some information for free. When I was on the mountain, I saw Yi Bailu enter the Tingyun Cottage by the lake. You can go there to look for him."
After watching Chu Yinlong leave, Jiang Dao's tense nerves finally relaxed.
He waved to the cameraman, and as usual, using the cover of the vegetation in the garden, he groped his way to the pond.
It’s not that I believe the information given by Chu Yinlong, but... the scenery outside the hanging flower door is unobstructed. It is a square paved with bluestone bricks, with some rockery and flower trees dotted in the corners. Further ahead is the main gate they came from, and one can even see the simple shed where the director crew has set up camp.
Now that the structure of the courtyard here is clear, the only terrain that needs to be explored is the area near the two-story building by the pool and the area on the mountain.
However, before Jiang Dao could get close to the pool, the director's voice came over the radio: "Yi Bailu, OUT!"
Jiang Dao raised his eyebrows and looked at the camera: "She was torn apart by someone else?"
After asking, he seemed to realize that the camera was not clear either, so he muttered to himself: "It should be Tang... Brother Yao, or Zhou Wei."
Although his "prey" was snatched away, Jiang Dao did not stop and continued to move towards the small building beside the pool. After arriving at the destination, he took advantage of the cover of vegetation and buildings to quickly search the surroundings, but found no trace of the guests.
"Xiaodao, let's go into the building?" the cameraman tried to direct the shot into a more confrontational one.
"Go into the building?" Jiang Dao shook his head. "It's too dangerous. We could easily be blocked inside. I'll observe for a while. If nothing works, I'll go up the mountain to have a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the director's voice suddenly come from the camera's intercom: "Camera No. 3, report your position."
The cameraman glanced at Jiang Dao and replied, "We are in the flowerbed outside Tingyun Cottage."
The director quickly gave the order: "Let Jiang Dao enter Tingyun Cottage to shoot a confrontation scene."
The cameraman looked at Jiang Dao innocently.
Jiangdao: ...
Is it okay for the director to take the lead in cheating while filming a variety show?
