Chapter 197 Running Man Begins
In the afternoon, Gu Wei took a later flight to Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.
The staff of the Running Man production team came to pick us up at the airport.
Gu Wei and his group were also led by the staff to the hotel arranged by the program team.
Gu Wei met with Lu Hao, the director of Running Man at the time.
[Running Man Season 1] was jointly produced by China and South Korea. In the early stages of the program, the South Korean team led the program with Chinese cooperation, but it was soon handed over to the Blueberry Channel Program Center team to take full responsibility.
Later, Yao Zetian, or PD Yao, who became familiar to everyone, only started hosting Running Man in the third season.
He has only been at Blueberry TV for a short time and is still gaining experience through two variety shows on the station, "China Dream Show" and "Dad is Back".
"Teacher Gu, welcome to Running Man!"
Director Lu Hao is very enthusiastic. He is a veteran of Blueberry TV. Although his ability as a variety show director is not very outstanding, he has a wide network of contacts in the TV station.
After serving as the chief director of the first and second seasons of Running Man and reaping the benefits of the show, he handed the show over to rookie director Yao PD and was directly promoted to deputy director of the Strategic Development Center of Blueberry Channel.
He heard from his friends at the station that Deputy Director Xiao was very optimistic about Gu Wei, so he was very enthusiastic about his arrival.
"I've been watching our show. I hope Director Lu will take good care of me during tomorrow's recording."
After chatting with the director for a while, Gu Wei said goodbye and went back to his hotel room to rest. He had to record a whole day of programs tomorrow and needed to get up early.
Gu Wei had just flown in from Beijing and was a little tired. He was concentrating his energy and preparing to go on Running Man tomorrow to tear off name tags with everyone.
After a night's rest, early in the morning, Gu Wei followed the staff to the first venue of this episode of Running Man - Zhejiang Art Museum.
The place has been cleared out by the staff, and filming equipment has been arranged everywhere.
Following the staff to a waiting room, Zhao Liying was wearing a white long-sleeved shirt, black sports pants, a pink baseball cap, and her hair was tied into a ponytail with a rubber band and thrown back.
Zhao Liying was very happy when she saw Gu Wei coming in.
"You're finally here. You're going to go on stage soon. I'm a little panicked."
Zhao Liying is small in stature and looked at Gu Wei with a worried look on her face.
“Have you ever watched Running Man before?”
"I've seen it before, and that's why I'm nervous. The first part of today's competition is to tear off name tags. With my tiny arms and legs, who can I beat?"
"It's okay, don't worry. When you go on stage later, you'll be in an alliance with Baby. You two girls will be together, so no one will come looking for you specifically."
Gu Wei gave her some advice.
"I hope it's as you say."
Zhao Liying is really not suitable for variety shows. When she appeared in some indoor variety shows before, she didn't perform well even with the host's care.
Once, he was even ridiculed by netizens after the broadcast because of his indecent drinking posture.
All I can say is that although she is famous now, she is not popular enough. When she becomes famous in the future, when she drinks water with the same action, the audience will say that she is generous and not particular about details.
The two chatted for a few words in the room, and the staff on the side reminded them that Zhao Liying and Gu Wei needed to enter one after another.
The theme of today's Running Man recording is: New Year Sports Meeting.
As the name suggests, all day activities and games are related to sports.
The first round of games today is the classic name tag tearing game from Running Man.
They are not torn off randomly. Behind each person's name tag is an amount of money that symbolizes his or her worth. For example, the highest is the guest Sun Yang, 1,000, and the lowest is Chen He, only 50.
Once the name tag is torn off, your money will be transferred to the hands of the person who tore it off.
Because it is an individual battle, the final winner will get everyone's money.
Wang Zulan was unable to attend this episode due to some matters. The Running Man team consists of 6 people: Deng Chao, baby, Zheng Kai, Chen He, Wang Baoqiang, and Li Chen. The guests are Black Chen Jianzhou, athlete Sun Yang, Zhao Liying, and Gu Wei.
The six members of the Running Man team entered first, followed by the four guests including Gu Wei.
Gu Wei was the tenth person to appear, the finale after Zhao Liying.
The amount behind the name tag on his back is 700, second only to Li Chen.
You should know that Li Chen’s character in Running Man is a powerful black bull, a capable person.
Gu Wei is only 100cm shorter than him, probably because the production team took his height of 185cm into consideration.
In fact, Gu Wei felt that the amount of money everyone bet on was useless, because in the end only one person could win. No matter how different the amounts of money other people bet on, the amount of money in the hands of the winner would be fixed.
You may say that this number means that their fighting power is different, Baby has 600, while Zhao Liying, who is also a girl, only has 100.
Gu Wei was the last one to enter. After he entered, the countdown began on the radio.
“3, 2, 1!
The name tag tearing battle begins!"
The art gallery only has two floors, and only a fixed area is open for them to use as a game venue.
Once 10 people enter, it is easy to run into each other.
Gu Wei strolled up to the second floor and saw Chen He standing in the corner.
Chen He looked at Gu Wei with a smirk on his face and slowly moved back.
"Director Gu, long time no see~"
As he spoke, he raised his hands and waved them left and right, looking very happy to see each other.
The two haven't seen each other for more than a year since the release of "Detective Chinatown".
Gu Wei also smiled.
“It’s been a long time indeed.
Don't worry, don't be afraid, I won't tear you apart."
As Gu Wei spoke, he continued to approach Chen He without stopping.
"Don't come over here, I'm going to scream~"
Chen He was being funny on purpose. He had worked with Gu Wei for a few months and they had a very good relationship. In front of Gu Wei, he joked without any hesitation.
Gu Wei was very upset after hearing what he said.
As Gu Wei got closer, Chen He simply sat on the ground with his back against the wall.
"How about we form an alliance? If you don't tear me apart, I can take you with me to tear others apart. There's strength in numbers."
Chen He, who had some understanding of Gu Wei, knew that Gu Wei's strength was simply beyond his reach.
Just give in and ask for a roundabout way.
Gu Wei walked to a place 5 steps away from Chen He, stopped, touched his chin with his right hand, and seemed to be thinking.
He actually hadn't thought about tearing Chen He apart right now.
Although the segment involves tearing off name tags, you can't let people leave right away. You have to let them hold on for a while so that you can take more shots.
Gu Wei met an acquaintance as soon as he arrived, and he just wanted to come over to say hello and chat.
Seeing Chen He's performance, he cooperated to improve the show effect.
"I won't tear you apart. We've made a verbal alliance. If we run into someone alone later, you have to help me."
"no problem"
Hearing Gu Wei say this, Chen He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed.
At the same time, Zhao Liying, who came in earlier than Gu Wei, had already found Baby. The two formed a goddess alliance. The two sisters held hands together. If they met someone, they would either run away quickly or pretend to be pitiful if they couldn't run away.
This trick worked quite well. When she met Sun Yang and Chen Jianzhou one after another, neither of them felt comfortable enough to attack her and let them go.
Later, he met Zheng Kai again. Not only did he not fight with them, he also took the initiative to form an alliance with the two of them, and seemed to be protecting them as a flower guardian.
Gu Wei walked up and down the building several times and met Chen Jianzhou, Sun Yang and Deng Chao respectively.
Sun Yang doesn't seem to be very relaxed. After all, he is an athlete. He doesn't know what to do in a variety show like this where there is only one cameraman accompanying him all the time.
After meeting Gu Wei, he was a little wary. The two chatted for a few words and then went their separate ways.
Gu Wei didn't want to start a fight with someone of Sun Yang's level right away. The latter was an Olympic champion and his physical fitness was not comparable to that of ordinary people.
After meeting Gu Wei, Chen Jianzhou seemed very enthusiastic and actively wanted to form an alliance with Gu Wei, inviting him to join forces to tear down others.
But Gu Wei really doesn't have a good impression of black people.
Looking at some of the news about him in the original time and space, including the group of people including Big and Small Curves, Gu Wei thought that their actions were a bit too weird, and it was no exaggeration to say that they had low character.
He is different from Luo Zhixiang. Luo is a master of time management and turned himself into an octopus, but it was all consensual.
Judging from the later news, the black man seemed to be doing things against the woman's will.
Even on variety shows, Gu Wei was unwilling to have too much contact with him.
After politely speaking to him, the two of them parted ways.
"Gu Wei, when are we going to play basketball together?"
This was the first sentence Deng Chao said after meeting Gu Wei, and Gu Wei also felt more relaxed.
"I'll listen to you, Brother Chao. I'll wait for you to gather people to form a party.
Shall we try to tear it apart?"
After approaching, Gu Wei looked at Deng Chao with a face full of eagerness to try.
"No, let's not do that. Let's form an alliance and tear others apart together."
Deng Chao suggested with a smirk on his face.
"Well, since no one has been eliminated yet, let's go for a walk first, and then we can form an alliance when we meet again. If we meet someone like Sun Yang or Chen Jianzhou, we two will have the advantage, so we should outsmart them."
Not long after separating from Deng Chao, Gu Wei heard the loudspeaker announce, "Zheng Kai, out!"
After a slight surprise, he continued walking forward and saw Chen He again at the corner of the corridor on the second floor.
Just as he was about to move forward, the big black bull Li Chen jumped out from behind a vending machine on the side and was about to tear off Gu Wei's name tag.
Fortunately, he reacted in time, dodged to the side, and quickly took a few steps back to avoid physical contact with Li Chen and stabilize himself.
Seeing this, Chen He in front also trotted over.
It turned out that this was all a plan of the two. Chen He acted as bait in the front, and Li Chen ambushed on the side and took the opportunity to tear off the name tag.
Fortunately, Gu Wei's reaction was superb, otherwise he would have been taken off the court to rest like Zheng Kai.
Li Chen and Chen He stood in front of Gu Wei in two directions respectively, ready to have a name tag tearing battle with him.
2 vs. 1 is a good opportunity to use the majority to bully the minority.
Gu Wei was not panicked at all, because one of these two people was a "capable person" and the other was an "incapable person".
Chen He’s character is weak, and of course he is indeed weak in reality.
Although Li Chen is called Big Black Bull, his strength and agility are far inferior to Gu Wei.
Chen He's presence with him might not necessarily help him, and might even make things worse.
Gu Wei didn't rush to argue, he smiled and said to Chen He:
"Have you forgotten that I let you go just now?
Aren't we an alliance, a team?
Have you ever heard of repaying kindness?
After hearing this, Li Chen also looked at Chen He. He wanted to confirm Chen He's camp first.
Chen He looked at Gu Wei with a smirk on his face and took a step forward.
"Have you ever heard of ungratefulness?"
After these words were spoken, Gu Wei and Li Chen couldn't help laughing at the same time.
This fits Chen He's "bitch" personality very well, and Gu Wei doesn't care.
More people does not necessarily mean greater strength, and Chen He is just a burden, so Gu Wei has confidence in himself.
After a while, the three of them calmed down, met on a narrow road, and started a fight.
