Chapter 331 Running Man (Subscribe to support!)
…
When Xu Kai and eight other "Running Man" members arrived at the West Lake Cultural Square, they saw hundreds of elderly people dancing square dance there, and the dance music they were using was Xu Kai's "Little Apple".
"Brother Yu, your song 'Little Apple' is so popular. I can hear it almost everywhere I go. I didn't expect that I couldn't escape it even on a variety show."
"Qin She, how can you talk like that? You're running away. What's the matter? Have you had enough of Little Apple?"
"No, absolutely not, Brother Yu, don't listen to Zheng Lulu's instigation. I'm the youngest one. Um... well, Brother Yu, can you give me a role in your next movie? Even a friendly guest appearance is fine."
“…”
After everyone chatted and laughed for a while, the old men and women who were dancing in the square suddenly stopped, and then in a very short time they put together a track for acupressure mats.
At the same time, Xu Kai and others knew that they had to jump rope on the acupressure mat, jump on the pommel horse, run a relay race, go through hoops, carry his wife on his back, eat biscuits on the horizontal bar, etc.
The host also fooled Xu Kai and others by saying that the acupressure mat can not only bring happiness through game interactions, but also massage the acupoints on the feet and unclog the blood circulation.
As a result, when Xu Kai and others took off their socks and stepped onto the acupressure mat, many of them grimaced in pain, it was simply torture.
But this level is very interesting.
The scene where Xiao Lanlan, Ling Cheng, and Qin She carried an old lady weighing more than 200 pounds across the acupressure mat made the audience laugh the most, with Xiao Lanlan's heart-wrenching cry making the audience laugh the most.
At the same time, the desperate acting of the members and guests also made the audience feel the power of the acupressure mat, which was extremely painful! The production team of the "Running Man" program also joined in the fun and said that they picked this acupressure mat from hundreds of acupressure mats. In their words, "It's just enough to make them feel pain, but not so painful that they can't stand on it."
Xu Kai is responsible for skipping rope and pommel horse.
In theory, this is the least dramatic part. After all, it only involves 20 rope jumps and five pommel horses, and anyone can do it if they can hold it in.
But this can't stop the guests from engaging in infighting.
——Doudou might want to show that he is a sports expert and pave the way for a career in variety shows in the future, so he actually started to dance the double shake in a high-profile manner and even wanted to do the triple shake (failed).
Yang Baobao, who knew Xu Kai was a strong athlete, saw this and started to make a noise, "Brother Yu, show Doudou what a real three-shake is. No, show Doudou five-shake. If you, a great master, don't do five-shake, you'll be unworthy of your reputation as a great master!"
Other members and guests also followed suit.
Xu Kai, who was being held up, had no choice but to do the five shakes. Not only that, he did four five shakes in a row, shocking everyone at the scene.
In Qin She's words: "Aren't we competing with Superman?"
Qin She's words were of course exaggerated, but the five shakes are already a movement that only professional rope skipping athletes can perform.
Of course, five shakes is not the limit for rope skippers—the limit for rope skippers is seven shakes.
However, there are very few people like Xu Kai who can do four five-shake jumps in a row. Even among rope skipping athletes, there are only a few.
The key lies in Xu Kai's light-as-a-swallow movements and his state of not even breathing a breath. Everyone knows that performing four five-shake dances in a row is definitely not Xu Kai's limit.
So, although Qin She's statement that Xu Kai was a superman was an exaggeration, no one refuted it.
As for the pommel horse jump that followed, it was even easier for Xu Kai.
In short, Xu Kai passed the first level in less than 20 seconds, leaving plenty of time for Yang Baobao and Ling Cheng.
Yang Baobao and Ling Cheng are also strong players.
Unsurprisingly, the yellow team was the first to pass.
But then again, this is a variety show, not a competition. What everyone is really competing for is who can contribute more jokes, not who can win the competition.
From this perspective, the biggest winner of the first round might be the weakest Xiao Lanlan. Not to mention his funny look when he carried the 200-pound lady on his back, the scenes where he failed to jump onto the horizontal bar after several attempts were really hilarious. What's more rare is that after unremitting efforts, he finally grabbed the horizontal bar, which was full of variety show sense.
The second level is to go to the Metropark Hotel to play the cruel "memory" spring pancake game, where everyone stages a water battle.
At this level, Xu Kai and Ling Cheng gave the opportunity to answer the questions to Yang Baobao.
As a result, Xu Kai and Ling Cheng were kicked out three times. Xu Kai acted out the show with a strong sense of variety based on the wonderful performances of celebrities he had seen in previous variety shows.
The third level was underwater table tennis. Xu Kai defeated everyone with just a salted fish, and his performance was amazing.
The fourth level is the famous name tag tearing battle.
According to the plan of the "Running Man" program production team, Xu Kai and others had to tear off the name tags of the Korean star Kim Dak-gu, who is known as the "human washing machine", while looking for the box.
Jin Daguo has been doing fitness for twenty years and has a good foundation, so he is very strong. Judging from his body size alone, he is two times bigger than Ling Cheng, the biggest among Xu Kai and others. He has no rivals in tearing off name tags on South Korea's "Running Man" and even tore off professional athletes weighing more than 200 pounds.
In the eyes of the "Running Man" production team, especially the "Running Man" production team in South Korea, Kim Daek-joo will definitely be able to serve as the final boss.
But the production team of the "Running Man" program never expected that the so-called big boss at the end would be pinned to the ground by Xu Kai at the first sight and his name tag would be torn off easily.
"Name Tag Tearing" is the most popular game in "Running Man" and has almost become the symbol of "Running Man".
The production team of the "Running Man" program thought that by inviting Kim Da-gu, who was invincible in South Korea, they could contribute a wonderful name tag tearing battle to the Korean version of "Running Man".
The production team of the "Running Man" program was afraid that Xu Kai and others had never played the game of name tag tearing, so they specially gave Xu Kai and others a lesson in name tag tearing.
No matter what, the most important thing when tearing off a name tag is not to turn it into a fight. Name tags are usually larger than the side that is sewn on the clothes, and usually have an extra edge at the bottom and side, so don't pull the clothes, but touch that edge instead.
In short, the production team of "Running Man" was afraid that Xu Kai and others would not be able to perform well, making this confrontation meaningless. They even planned to let Xu Kai and Ling Cheng work together to tear off the name tags from Jin Daguo after Jin Daguo ran out of strength.
As a result, Jin Daguo was pinned to the ground by Xu Kai and his name tag was easily torn off as soon as they met.
Xu Kai quickly said to Jin Daguo in Korean: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my first time tearing off the name tag, I was a little nervous, I didn't control the strength well, are you okay?"
Jin Daguo fell hard this time, but he stood up immediately and said, "I'm fine. I was careless just now. Can we fight again?"
How could Xu Kai agree to such a thing on behalf of the "Running Man" production team?
So Xu Kai looked at the production team of "Running Man" and asked them to decide whether to tear the name tag again or not? In order to protect the stars of his country, the chief producer of the production team of "Running Man" in South Korea, Kim Yong-jae, said: "This name tag tearing war has just begun, and such an accident has occurred. This is definitely not acceptable. We must re-record it."
Other members of the Korean "Running Man" production team also spoke out, with some radical ones even suggesting that the footage should not be broadcast.
The production team of the Chinese version of "Running Man" thought that the scene where Xu Kai just subdued Jin Daguo was very exciting, so they agreed to record it again, but disagreed to give up this footage.
After the two sides argued for a while, they decided to find common ground first, that is, to continue recording. As for whether this material would be used or not, they would decide after the recording was completed.
During the recording, Jin Daguo rushed towards Xu Kai at full speed, trying to knock Xu Kai down by relying on his height and weight.
When Xu Kai saw this, he stopped Jin Daguo with one hand, and then tore off Jin Daguo's name tag in a flash.
After seeing this scene, everyone knew that the reason why Xu Kai easily pinned Jin Daguo to the ground was not because of Jin Daguo’s mistake, but because the gap in strength between Jin Daguo and the strong and agile Xu Kai was too big.
The production team of the Korean "Running Man" program didn't want to embarrass their country's star, so they came up one after another to "talk the play" to Xu Kai, hoping that Xu Kai would lose to Jin Daguo "reasonably".
Xu Kai listened to everything the production crew of the Korean "Running Man" program said and did everything they said, but as long as he fought with Jin Daguo, Xu Kai would always win.
Although Jin Daguo fought Xu Kai for more than three rounds, everyone present could see that Jin Daguo was just like a child in front of Xu Kai. Unless Xu Kai stood there motionless, there was no way Jin Daguo could defeat Xu Kai.
After recording for the seventh time, the production team of the Korean program "Running Man" came over to "explain the play" to Xu Kai. Xu Kai's face immediately sank and he said, "If you insist on making me lose to him, then I will stand here and not move."
Xu Kai was angry.
This has happened seven times already, is it ever going to end?
Moreover, when the name tag tearing started, the "Running Man" program production team told Xu Kai and others that they should tear the name tags in a real and bold way, the more real the better.
But once the fight started, not only did all kinds of restrictions continue, but they also continued on and on.
Why must I, a superstar from the great Chinese country, lose to a small star from the small Korean country?
Xu Kai got upset - he never acted like a big shot, but this time he finally said something stern.
Upon seeing this, everyone in the "Running Man" production team, whether they were Chinese or Korean, were all speechless.
Xu Kai is a talented superstar who was invited by the "Running Man" program production team at a high price and has super high traffic. How dare he offend Xu Kai easily?
The key point is that it is not Xu Kai's fault. It's because Jin Daguo is so much worse than Xu Kai.
The key point is that everyone had agreed in advance to let the stars perform freely, but now they come up and make all kinds of comments. Moreover, it would have been fine if it happened once or twice, but they have done it seven times, and it’s not going to end.
The production team of the Chinese version of "Running Man" and the Korean version of "Running Man" first quickly comforted Xu Kai, and then went down to discuss what to do? Lu Hao, the chief director of the Chinese version of "Running Man", said: "The reason why our variety show is attractive is that we try to make it real. I think these can be edited in, and then use this as an excuse to increase the difficulty for Yu Qingyun and restrict Yu Qingyun."
When Lu Hao said that he wanted to edit all of these materials in, the Korean "Running Man" director Cao Lizhen immediately disagreed: "If we follow what you said, whether Daguo is the boss or Yu Qingyun is the boss, this will greatly reduce the effect of the program."
Lu Hao retorted: "Of course not. Chinese audiences definitely want Chinese stars to be stronger, so I think, based on what I said, the show will definitely be more popular with Chinese audiences."
Cho Lee Jin still disagreed, "Daguo is a very popular star in Running Man. It will definitely not be good for Running Man to make him look like a clown."
Lu Hao insisted, "But 'Running Man' is a funny variety show, not a competitive show. What's wrong with having a clown?"
The two sides argued endlessly and time passed little by little.
Later, the two sides even argued to the point of breaking up.
Finally, Lu Hao withstood all the pressure and said, "Just do as I say. I will be responsible for any problems that arise."
After all, this is the Chinese version of "Running Man". Although it is a joint production of the two companies, it is still mainly produced by the Chinese "Running Man" program production team.
Besides, the recording time is limited. If it is extended, Xu Kai and others will have to be paid extra, which will greatly increase the production cost of this episode of "Running Man".
Therefore, the production team of the "Running Man" program tied up one of Xu Kai's arms first, and then asked Xu Kai to tear off the name tag with Jin Daguo.
But even so, Jin Daguo still couldn't defeat Xu Kai.
Later, I don’t know how the people in the props group of "Running Man" were so powerful, but they actually found a 120-pound iron ball for Xu Kai, just like the one held by Chen Guohan in The King of Fighters, and tied it around Xu Kai’s waist.
Just look at Xu Kai's current pose with one arm tied and holding a big iron ball. He doesn't even need to act out anything, people just laugh out loud when they see him.
Seeing this, the production team of "Running Man" simply changed the rules of the program: Kim Daguo chased the other eight "Running Man" members, and Xu Kai killed Kim Daguo. As long as Kim Daguo could tear off the other eight "Running Man" members before Xu Kai tore him off, Kim Daguo would win. And if Xu Kai could tear off Kim Daguo before Kim Daguo tore off the name tags of the other eight "Running Man" members, then Xu Kai and the remaining members would win.
This obviously further increases the fun of "Running Man" and is also the most reasonable rule of the game under the current circumstances, so much so that even the production team of the "Running Man" program in South Korea agreed to this new rule.
Jin Daguo didn't know if it was because he had suffered too much at Xu Kai's hands, but the other eight "Running Man" members, except Yang Baobao, including the strongest Ling Cheng, had their name tags torn off one by one by Jin Daguo.
The reason why Yang Baobao's name tag was not torn off by Jin Daguo was because she cleverly ran to Xu Kai.
When it came to the final showdown, Xu Kai tied one arm, carried a big iron ball, and brought Yang Baobao to block Jin Daguo in a corner.
Finally, Xu Kai pinned Jin Daguo to the ground with one hand, and Yang Baobao went up and tore off the name tag on Jin Daguo's back...
