"Speed" is positioned as a competitive program. Unlike other variety shows of the same type, the program also arranges a professional commentator on site to provide real-time explanations.
When Huo An came on stage, the commentator recognized him at a glance.
Famous in the entertainment industry for being ugly and effeminate.
He has a strong build, but he can't carry anything on his shoulders or lift anything with his hands, which is disgusting.
Such a person dares to take part in the challenge, he is simply courting death.
The commentator began to flip through the information of the next challenger. Huo An was bound to fail anyway, so he might as well take this opportunity to prepare in advance.
While flipping through the pages, he briefly glanced at the stage and began his explanation as usual.
But the voice was obviously a little lazy.
"The whistle blew, and Huo An took off. He looked very confident and ran very fast, but unfortunately, the first stage of the challenge was to cross the ladder. This was adapted from a military training program, with added obstacles in the middle, making it much more difficult!"
"In previous competitions, many contestants failed at this stage, and Huo An is likely to fail here as well."
"Look, he's jumping, he..."
The commentator followed the procedure and was about to announce the failure of the challenge when he suddenly saw Huo An holding the ladder with both hands, hanging in mid-air, moving his hands forward alternately, perfectly avoiding obstacles.
The five-meter-long ladder reached the other side in an instant.
“He passed???”
The commentator was stunned, and his voice suddenly changed direction, with shock and confusion.
The sudden rise in the volume instantly caught the attention of all the audience present.
They had originally had no hope for Huo An. They were eating and drinking as usual, and many were even playing with their phones. When they heard that Huo An had passed the first level, they all looked up in surprise.
In the picture, Huo An has indeed passed the first level.
But then, the second level is even more difficult.
He might stop there.
Everyone thought in unison.
After all, anyone who knows a little about the entertainment industry knows how delicate Huo An is.
In a variety show, he couldn't even outrun the girls.
The commentator holds the same view.
But--
"The second level is the most famous rock climb, with angles exceeding 120 degrees, comparable to those in professional rock climbing competitions, and countless competitors have failed here."
"As far as I know, Huo An has never tried rock climbing before. He..."
"Um?"
"He's up there again!"
"How did he do it? Huo An has already started challenging the third level!"
“Again!!”
"It's only been less than a minute! He's already entered the fourth level!"
…
The commentator's eyes widened and his voice became thoroughly excited.
The audience at the scene and in the live broadcast room also showed shocked expressions, looking at Huo An who was trying to pass the level in disbelief.
His rough face was filled with solemnity. He was wearing a camouflage uniform that perfectly matched his sturdy figure. As he frowned and wiped the sweat off his face, he unexpectedly...
A little handsome?
[Wait, is this Huo An the same Huo An who lost to the girl in a running race? Could they be the same name?]
The audience in the live broadcast room was also shocked.
[It’s him! I can’t believe it!]
[Is it him???]
[I've been calling this a sissy for half a year, and now you're telling me he's the real tough guy?]
[It's already the sixth level... I can't catch up with this speed. I admit defeat.]
[…The world is in chaos.]
[He looks so cool climbing over a high wall! And some people still call him ugly?]
[Ahhhhh, hubby!]
…
The people in the live broadcast room were all stunned.
Every time they thought Huo An would fail at a level, he would miraculously pass it.
There were a total of 500 meters of obstacles, including climbing, crawling, jumping... He passed every level with ease.
The audience went from being skeptical and disbelieving at first to gradually becoming nervous.
The commentator stood up involuntarily, stretched his neck, and stared closely at Huo An's every move.
The voice was full of passion.
"This is the last and most difficult level, the rope climb! The only way to win is for the contestants to climb up a four-meter high platform using a rope."
"In the previous levels, Huo An had been performing well, except for occasionally stopping and looking around, not knowing what he was looking for."
"Looking at his serious expression, it shows that he takes this challenge seriously."
"Look at the beads of sweat on his forehead, they are the medals of every successful pass."
"And his pale face...Huh? Why is it white? Doesn't it turn red after exercise?"
The commentator was puzzled for a moment.
Just when everyone thought Huo An was exhausted, he glanced towards the commentary desk, then suddenly jumped up and climbed up the four-meter-high platform at lightning speed.
"I've successfully passed the level!"
The commentator's voice suddenly resounded throughout the entire recording site.
"Three months! 'Maximum Speed' finally welcomed its first successful contestant! He's Huo An! He made it!"
As he shouted, he couldn't help but look around.
This is the commentary desk. Besides him, only Huo An's agent is here.
But just before passing the last level, Huo An glanced over here. Why did he feel that there was a hint of fear in the other person's eyes?
The scene erupted in cheers.
No one could have imagined that the first person to successfully pass the level would be the most famous rookie in the entertainment industry!
It surprised everyone!
Huo An came down from the platform and was immediately surrounded by the excited hosts and photographers.
"Huo An, may I ask what force supported you to make it all the way through and ultimately succeed?"
Huo An had just finished all the levels and didn't look tired at all. He said with a serious expression, "The power of fear."
The host had a face full of question marks.
"As the first celebrity to successfully pass the level, do you have any tips that you can share with everyone?"
Hearing this question, Huo An was overwhelmed with grief and burst into tears.
"If you just think there's a hamster chasing you, you can run faster than me."
[? ? ? ]
[Huo An is actually afraid of hamsters? Isn't that so cute?]
[Pfft, I'm dying of laughter. A grown man like that was actually scared to tears by a hamster?! Hamsters are so cute!]
Huo An is so adorable, he looks like a wolfdog but is a puppy at heart. Who can not love him?
[Hubby, don’t cry. Come to my house and I’ll comfort you.]
[The abacus upstairs, I can hear it ringing from my hometown!]
…
The first contestant who successfully passed the level was single, and the number of viewers in the live broadcast room suddenly increased, and the popularity rose sharply.
Soon, Huo An became a hot topic.
#Huo An successfully passed the level at extreme speed#
#Huo An is afraid of hamsters#
When people first saw the trending search, they were puzzled. However, when they clicked on the video and saw Huo An overcome all obstacles and pass all the levels of "Speed" with amazing speed and endurance, they were completely impressed.
In the picture, he doesn't even have any makeup on. He is wearing a simple camouflage uniform. The slightly bulging muscles under the clothes and his agile posture are the best decoration!
[So handsome! Huo An is a real man!]
[Before, when Huo An cried, I would just get irritated and scold him. But now, seeing him with tears in his eyes, my heart breaks.]
[How can a girl not love a muscular man?]
[Don’t even mention girls, I love it even as a guy! This muscular body, this speed and endurance, I dream of it!]
[Even through the screen, I can feel the hormones overflowing from him! Shashasha——]
…
The popularity of the entry continues to rise.
Xiao He opened Huo An's Weibo and took a look. The number of followers and private messages were growing rapidly.
At the same time, Yan Xiuqun and Pan Hong, who were standing outside the field, had very ugly expressions on their faces.
They were a little unhappy when Huo An passed several levels in succession. Finally, when they saw him pass the level and accept the interview, their expressions became gloomy.
Isn't it said that all his muscles are just for show, that he is as weak as a willow in the wind, and will fall flat on his face and make a fool of himself at the first level?
"How could he possibly pass?"
Yan Xiuqun couldn't believe it.
Because of Huo An's success, everyone at the scene was cheering, even his fans were among them. It seemed that his performance just now had been forgotten.
All the limelight was stolen!
Looking at Huo An who was surrounded by the crowd, he suddenly remembered something, quickly took out his mobile phone, opened the trending search, and his expression instantly became angry.
"My trending search has been pushed down..."
Just after he finished his performance, his agent Pan Hong spent a high price to buy a trending search to praise his singing.
But just five minutes after going up, Huo An suddenly appeared, and two consecutive entries became extremely popular, which directly pushed him down.
The money spent was completely wasted.
Pan Hong took the phone and looked at it, and immediately started cursing.
"What a lucky bastard! Did Xiao He do this on purpose? I blame you for breaking your contract with her and deliberately bringing someone here to steal your limelight."
Upon hearing this, Yan Xiuqun's face became so gloomy that it looked like water was about to drip down.
"It's just a small trending search. In terms of popularity and resources, Huo An is not even one percent of me."
"That's right."
Pan Hong immediately said, "The most important thing for you right now is to quickly secure that military-themed role and establish yourself. A small-time henchman like Huo An will fade into obscurity in a matter of days. There are so many unsung stars in the entertainment industry, and only a few can make a comeback."
Yan Xiuqun nodded slightly, then got into the car and left.
Huo An was sitting in the car at this time, watching the challenge video edited for him by netizens.
In the picture, he passed through many obstacles and climbed over many walls that he had never dared to think about before. Now he could climb over them easily.
"Is the person above me?"
His face was hot and his eyes were shining as he asked Xiao He in disbelief.
"It's you."
Xiao He came over to take a look and analyzed, "Actually, it's still two minutes slower than I planned. Especially when climbing the tree, I even specially strengthened my training in this area."
Huo An thought about it.
"You mean when I was in the tree, you made that hamster keep jumping up and hitting me with its tail, so that I had to climb up and finally hide at the top of the tree?"
Xiao He nodded.
"As for swimming, you have no idea how much effort I put into training you."
"You mean, the hamster forced me to jump into the water, and when I thought I was safe, it suddenly emerged from the water and swam back and forth after me for two kilometers?"
Huo An's eyes widened, and the scene seemed to appear in his mind again.
Can you imagine that you are swimming in the water and a big water rat suddenly jumps out and chases you around? What kind of scene would that be?
It was only that day that Huo An found out that hamsters can actually swim!
And he swims very fast!
I don't know how he did that with his short legs.
Looking at the people in the video, Xiao He nodded, barely satisfied.
"Although it's a little different from what I expected, at least I cleared it successfully. All my efforts during this period were not in vain. Having the monsters accompany you in training has also paid off."
Upon hearing this, Huo An was shocked.
"You made that hamster chase me before, just to help me with the level-breaking training?"
"What else do you think it is?"
Huo An looked embarrassed and said timidly, "I always thought you suddenly became mentally ill and were deliberately torturing me."
Xiao He:?
Are you polite?
On Weibo, the news about Huo An's successful breakthrough continues to gain popularity, and as a result, the number of his fans is growing rapidly.
In just half a day, the number of followers increased several times.
However, Huo An’s original number of fans was not large. Even after doubling it, it was still less than 300,000. Compared with other stars, it was still pitifully small.
But Xiao He was not worried.
The challenge levels of "Speed" are difficult. As long as no newcomer succeeds in the challenge, Huo An's popularity will remain as long as the show is broadcast.
"Director Zhao just said that he hopes you can interact with Speed on Weibo. Please pick a few questions in the square and answer them."
Xiao He handed the phone over and Huo An opened it nervously.
He seldom went to the square or the super topic before, and he didn't even use Weibo, because this was the disaster area where black fans gathered. Every time he opened it, he would be overwhelmed by all kinds of scolding and doubt his life.
Today I mustered up the courage to open it, and saw 99+ message notifications. I clicked in and saw that they were all compliments, which made Huo An blush.
He read every piece of news carefully, and a feeling he had never felt before surged in his heart, and his chest felt swollen.
In addition to private messages, the square is also very lively.
In the constantly refreshing news, he saw the question from netizens:
[Huo An, Huo An, I specifically watched your previous event videos. It's only been a little over three months now, so why did your performance on "Speed" improve so much? You look like a completely new person!]
Huo An answered truthfully: "After I decided to participate in the challenge, my agent helped me with two weeks of special training. Although the process was brutal, the results were remarkable."
Netizen: [What kind of special training is it?]
Huo An: [She let a hamster chase me, how cruel [crying cat head]]
Netizen 1: [Is this... cruel?]
Netizen 2: [I like hamsters the most, let me try it too.]
…
Looking at the netizens' replies, Huo An shook his head repeatedly.
So naive!
There are hamsters taller than humans. Are you afraid of them?
While Huo An was busy replying to netizens, the recording of "Speed" had already come to an end.
When the program team designed this variety show, in order to ensure the rationality and difficulty of the challenges, they benchmarked it against the 400-meter obstacle race in military training and specially invited an officer to provide on-site guidance.
Qian Sanshui was the borrowed guiding officer. His original job was to inspect each checkpoint on site to ensure the difficulty and safety.
According to the requirements of the program team, he deliberately increased the difficulty of these levels, but unexpectedly, no one has been able to successfully pass them in the past few months.
This caused him to feel bored and restless every day.
It wasn't until today, when Huo An was halfway through the process, that his eyes lit up.
The man's movements when passing the poles and his crawling posture were surprisingly standard, as if he had been trained in a military camp!
Almost in an instant, Qian Sanshui immediately remembered a military TV series that the army and the art troupe were recently filming - "New Recruits, Charge Forward".
A few days ago, a friend from the art troupe told me that the actor for a role in the play has not been decided yet.
They are required to be familiar with military knowledge, have a decent appearance, be strong and healthy, have a military posture, and perform various training movements in a standard manner.
Isn’t this the person in front of you?
With his rough facial features, tall stature, and standard posture, he was born to play a soldier!
He thought excitedly, and the moment he saw Huo An successfully pass the level, he jumped up and rushed backstage to ask the director for his contact information.
As he walked out, he excitedly called his friends in the art troupe.
"Have you found the person for the role you told me about last time?"
"Listen, I've found someone who absolutely meets your requirements! No, I can honestly say, he's the perfect fit for this role!"
