Taking advantage of the good ratings for Tao Rui's episode of "Mountain People", it was easier for Lao Qi to talk to him about new variety shows, and two live variety shows were quickly finalized.
One is "Journey Adventure", in which six resident guests go on a trip by car. The program team gives them tasks, from what car to take, what to wear on the road, what to eat for lunch and dinner, and where to stay at night. All of them require PK competition. Only the winner has the right to choose, and the loser will be miserable.
This is a new show, but the producers have previously produced two popular outdoor variety shows, and the director they hired is also a well-known variety show director. It's said that the production team put a lot of thought into it, and several of the guests are selected to be good at creating show effects. If Tao Rui hadn't performed so well on "Mountain Family," they really wouldn't have agreed.
Another one is called "Haunted House Escape". As the name suggests, it allows guests to escape from various terrifying environments. It is a room escape type, but each episode has a horror theme, such as haunted houses, zombies, mental hospitals, etc.
This show has already aired for one season, and the ratings are great. It's just really scary, especially for the celebrities involved, who are constantly startled. So, getting the right celebrities for the second season was a bit of a challenge. Not everyone the production team wants to be there, and while there are plenty who want to be, the production team is picky.
In the end, Lao Qi used his eloquence to successfully help Tao Rui win the variety show. As the most popular idol in the entertainment industry, Tao Rui's appearance in the horror scene is a major attraction!
Besides, Lao Qi had asked Tao Rui and assured the production team that Tao Rui was not afraid and was extremely brave. He could also become a unique character in the show with a unique personality. The production team considered it and agreed.
When Tao Rui announced that he would participate in these two variety shows, fans' first reaction was surprise. They always felt that... such a miserable program like "Journey Adventure" and such a scary program like "Haunted House Escape" were not suitable for Tao Rui?
Our idol is so handsome, so fresh, so...
In short, are you serious about participating in these two shows?
When asked about this during a livestream, Tao Rui openly admitted, "Seriously, I've seen the program plan and I love it. Honestly, I think you all just misunderstand me. Am I some soft, cute, and aggrieved little pitiful person? Absolutely not! I think I need to let go a little and get to know myself better."
[…Ah, this is a bit too much, haha. As expected, he is already Rui Ge. Is he no longer Rui Rui?]
[So it was Brother Rui who chose it. If Brother Rui likes it, then I like it too. When will it air? I'll definitely be waiting to watch it!]
[I suddenly have a bad feeling. Will Brother Rui scream in the haunted house? Will he be scared to death? Oh my god, this scene is so funny, hahahaha]
How do you play the adventure? Is there any danger? Brother Rui, be careful and protect yourself.
Tao Rui stroked his chin, pondering the comments for a moment. The original owner was known to exploit his fans, instigating them to attack the company, his teammates, and everyone else on his behalf. This left the impression on his fans that he was weak and in need of protection.
This wasn't going to work. He was always the one protecting others. He emphasized again, "You guys really don't understand me at all. When I appear on the show, watch the live broadcast carefully and your impression will be reversed."
【Ah, okay, whatever you say is fine.】
"I can turn the situation around right now, Rui Ge, take it easy and don't try too hard."
We don't need to strive for first place in everything; safety is the most important thing.
Tao Rui shook his head helplessly. "Anyway, just don't stop being my fans. Just wait and see."
It's impossible to stop being a fan, not even for the rest of your life. Even if you act like a weakling, you can't stop being a fan.
Many people have said this, but after watching the first episode of "Haunted House Escape," they suddenly realized—what weaklings! They huddled together in front of the TV while Tao Rui was amused by the ghosts on the show. They were the ones who were being called weaklings!
Tao Ruizhen didn't mean to laugh, the problem was... he had seen real ghosts in the world of cultivation.
The one in front of me has a face covered with flour, two big dark circles under his eyes, a cheap wig and a white robe. He looks so fake, hahaha.
The female ghost opposite was a little confused. After hearing the director's instructions in the headphones, she continued to raise her hands and stretch towards Tao Rui's neck.
The arrangement here was that her neck, waist, and legs were all tied to the pillars, so even if she stretched out her hands, she wouldn't be able to touch anyone as long as the person dodged flexibly.
This place is a corner, with enough space for a person to pass between the pillar and the wall, and there is a small open space behind the pillar. You need to be brave enough to avoid her, pass between the pillar she is tied to and the wall next to it, and get a treasure bag, which contains the key to open the next door.
It sounds simple, but in fact, if ordinary people are afraid, they will be delayed here for a long time, because... who dares to walk past the female ghost!
Behind Tao Rui, three people were hiding far away. Like him, they were regular guests. The room was dim, and they could only see things about a meter away. They couldn't see Tao Rui, but they heard his laughter and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? What's so funny?"
Tao Rui finished laughing and said, "It's okay, it's just that this ghost looks too funny. It's obviously made up, and the size of the clothes is not right."
"Oh? So fake? This production crew is not serious at all. Are they trying to fool us?" After hearing this, the few people were no longer afraid and stood up and strode towards Tao Rui.
Tao Rui suddenly remembered their previous behavior. They seemed to be very afraid of ghosts. Just as he was about to remind them, they had already seen the appearance of the female ghost.
"Ah ...
"Ah, my hairs are standing on end!!"
"Where is this? We've gone to the wrong place. We're lost. Is there a ghost here? What should we do—"
Their eyes widened instantly, and they stumbled back, pulling at each other. Judging from their chaotic shouting, they must have run in the wrong direction and didn't know where to go.
Tao Rui touched his nose and smiled at the ghost girl, "I'm sorry, I underestimated your power. Um, let me get the key, please."
Tao Rui nimbly bent over and went around the pillar. After successfully getting the key, he said something rude, "What did you do to be tied up here? This is too pitiful. How about I untie you?"
After saying that, he shook his head and muttered, "Forget it. If you run around everywhere and scare the audience, I'd better leave quickly and not give you any more footage."
The ghost had already stretched her hand sideways, blocking the path between the pillar and the wall. It was quite low, so bending over like before was impossible. Tao Rui estimated the height, made a shovel move, and slid across the floor, running away cleanly.
Only after Tao Rui left the female ghost did the fans feel like posting comments.
[I, I, I... well, my brother Rui is so handsome]
[Brother Rui got the key! But...Brother Rui, why isn't he scared? I feel so scared.]
[I covered my eyes with my hands and watched through my fingers. It was so exciting. Hahaha. I love this kind of horror escape. Hahaha]
[Really, even though it's scary, it looks super exciting! I'm kind of looking forward to what ghost Rui Ge sees next.]
Tao Rui ran to a place where there were no ghosts and groped his way forward, tentatively calling out to his companions, "Big brother, second brother, third brother, where are you?"
"Youngest... here..." The eldest brother's voice was trembling when he answered. He was the bravest one here.
The four regular guests are four brothers, blindfolded and sent into various terrifying chambers each episode. The eldest appears the strongest, but is the most timid. The second is not afraid of zombies or anything like that, but is terrified of ghosts. Even when he's not afraid, he can still solve puzzles. The third is very skilled and can quickly complete any puzzle, but he gets easily startled and jumps at the slightest noise.
As the youngest, Tao Rui's characteristics are very obvious. He is smart, lively, and not afraid of anything. He even laughed at the ghost. I wonder if it left a psychological trauma on the ghost.
Tao Rui quickly found the three of them following the sound. They were sitting on the ground huddled together, and the audience, through the infrared night vision mode, saw them like that, which was really funny because, in their eyes, there was nothing around them. But since they could only see about one meter away, they were extremely scared, and moving forward became a problem.
As soon as Tao Rui approached them, the three men grabbed him and helped him stand up, then held him tightly and never let go.
"Youngest, don't run around. Stay with your brothers. They will protect you."
"Well, yes, brother will protect you."
Tao Rui smiled and said, "Okay, let's go open the door."
"...Uh, I don't know which direction this is. Youngest, do you remember where the door is?"
"I don't remember. It's okay. Let's walk in one direction, touch the wall, and then follow it. We will definitely find the door."
Tao Rui's words sounded terrifying. Are there ghosts in those unknown places?!
But there was no other way. Who had made them run so frantically just now? The three of them let Tao Rui lead the way. They were all a little hunched over from nervousness. Only Tao Rui walked normally at the front, taking long strides. On the way, Tao Rui accidentally glanced back and saw the other three's behavior. He immediately followed suit, bending over a little and slowing down his movements.
The audience was laughing so hard, [Tao Rui is afraid of all three brothers, sorry for not being afraid hahaha, the four brothers need to stay consistent!]
As soon as they found the wall and moved along it, Tao Rui saw the shape of a human face slowly emerging on the wall. He raised his hand calmly and pushed it back.
He just pressed it back gently but firmly, and then continued walking forward. The three brothers didn't notice it. They just passed by the face and didn't see anything!
[Hahaha, I look so aggrieved—I haven’t even shown my whole face!]
[I'm so lucky to have three silly brothers, and the youngest one is the most powerful boyfriend! ! ]
I never thought that the youngest and weakest looking member would be the strongest and most invincible! Love it!
Tao Rui and his brothers successfully found the door. After using the key, a Huarong Road appeared on the door, which had to be pieced together before it could be opened. The third brother was no longer afraid. He immediately stepped forward and quickly slid the large and small blocks together. In less than a minute, he had the whole thing pieced together!
The audience saw the third brother turn his head, close his eyes, push open the door, and then fly back behind Tao Rui, "What's going on?"
Tao Rui poked his head out of the door and looked around. "It's pitch black, nothing seems to be happening..."
"Bang!"
"Ah—" The third brother was startled by the sudden noise and hugged Tao Rui's arm tightly. He was easily frightened, and the movement in the dark was too scary.
Tao Rui listened to the sound and said as he walked, "The sound must have attracted us over there. There must be clues over there."
The background of each escape room has a story line. Only by cracking the story can you find a way out faster. Usually, the place that everyone is most afraid to go is where there are clues.
As they walked, they came across a cabinet. The noise was coming from inside the cabinet. The eldest brother was the most timid and tremblingly said, "Is there a ghost in here? Should we open it?"
Tao Rui pressed the cabinet door, thought for a moment and said, "Let's just open it a crack. Even if there's a ghost, it can't get out."
The ghost inside was silent for a while. He was designed to jump out as soon as the cabinet door opened. What the hell, how could a human do that with just a crack?
Tao Rui really just opened a gap for him, then turned his head to meet his gaze.
[Hahahaha, I was quite scared when I saw the cabinet, but now I find it so funny. Why is that?]
What kind of steely courage does Tao Rui have? Is he invincible?
[I suddenly have a bad feeling. Will the production team make the plot even scarier to scare Tao Rui?]
[I bet he won’t, because he won’t pass the review, hahahaha, and I bet Tao Rui is not afraid of anything]
The third brother, who was easily frightened but not afraid of ghosts, also came over to take a look. He told his eldest and second brothers to hold the cabinet door tightly. Then he and Tao Rui carefully observed what was in the cabinet. They soon found a Taoist robe for exorcising ghosts. The third brother reached out to take it out and found a dozen yellow talismans in the pocket of the clothes.
Tao Rui took it in and looked at it. He saw the messy patterns on the yellow talisman, and in the middle were written in very small words: immobilization, seal, soul-splitting (using a peach wood sword), and binding and capturing (using a rope). He burst out laughing.
The three brothers were stunned for a moment, and Tao Rui quickly waved his hands, "Nothing, nothing, I just feel that this talisman is quite straightforward. We need to find a peach wood sword and a rope."
Tao Rui closed the cabinet door again and put a seal on it. "Let's go, we can catch ghosts once we find the tools."
"..." The boss followed for a long time before reacting, "We still need to catch ghosts? Didn't we escape? I was tricked. I clearly said it wasn't that scary!"
The second child complained, "Me too, me too. When asked what I'm most afraid of, I said ghosts. Wow, there are so many ghosts in the first episode. Can't they have some zombies, orcs, or something?"
The third child asked curiously, "What are you most afraid of, youngest? How did you tell the production team?"
"Yes, the production team will do whatever you're afraid of. Tell us about it so we can be mentally prepared."
Tao Rui thought for a moment, "What I said at the time was... I was afraid of losing fans?"
"ah?"
The three brothers and the audience were all genuinely surprised. Are they really afraid of losing fans?
Tao Rui laughed and said, "Because I'm not afraid of haunted houses or anything like that, I just made a joke at the time, saying that my fans all thought I was a little brother who needed protection. I was afraid that if I performed too strongly and didn't meet their expectations, I would lose fans."
Tao Rui's fans quickly posted comments.
【I won’t lose fans, I will always love you! 】
【Brother Rui, fly with confidence, peaches will always be with you! 】
[I also thought I liked the younger brother type, but I suddenly realized that I like the stronger Rui Ge, the better. You look so handsome like this!]
At this time, the second brother accidentally got the peach wood sword and rope. Who knew that after picking up the two tools, the room suddenly lit up, and then... powder began to fall from the ceiling. It was really powdery, white flour!
[…Ahahahahahahaha, so this is why they lost followers. The production team is absolutely amazing!]
[The program crew is really good at making jokes. Look at Brother Rui’s confused face. He really didn’t expect it, hahahaha]
[The production crew found the location very well. Brother Rui got all the flour on his face. So funny.]
[This scene has been my favorite for the whole year, it’s amazing hahaha]
After all the flour fell, Tao Rui lowered his head and shook it, wiped his face, looked at the other three people who also had white flour on their faces, and laughed at the same time.
With the tools, the task was much easier. Even if the eldest and second child were afraid of ghosts, they felt much more at ease with the talisman paper in hand. They dared to act alone, and if all else failed, they could just stick it on the ghost. So the four of them split up and quickly found the diary of the owner of the haunted house, learned the whole story, and then worked together in the master bedroom to crack the code to the safe and successfully obtained the all-important door key.
Then the four of them completed another chain challenge at the gate and finally escaped from the haunted house successfully.
"The haunted house challenge was a success!" the four of them shouted in unison, and the program crew applauded and celebrated for them.
The last scene of the live broadcast was the four of them walking towards the production crew, complaining to each other and smearing the flour on their faces on the director's face.
The audience found it very exciting.
The first episode was exciting and hilarious. The combination of the four of them was incredibly sparky, and everyone had different strengths, which they were able to utilize.
[Right, right, right. I originally thought the boss was useless, but it turns out that solving the puzzle just now requires knowledge of musical instruments. He actually knows how to play four instruments!]
[The second child is a top student. He can actually figure out such a complicated algorithm after just a few glances.]
[The third brother is very good at Huarongdao]
The youngest has a heart of steel, and he was the one who figured out the 3D image. They're amazing, and so funny.
I think the first episode of the haunted house was pretty good. You can see that at the beginning, the four of them were a little unfamiliar and obviously not familiar with each other, but in the end they became brothers.
[Hahaha, brothers who were tricked by the show crew, I was dying of laughter when they lost followers]
Not only fans like to watch it, but other audiences also like it very much and have a good impression of Tao Rui. Tao Rui has participated in countless variety shows and is very good at making the show effect. In the show, he sometimes takes the lead and sometimes cooperates with others. He shows himself just right without overshadowing others. It is very good.
The production team privately commented that Tao Rui was the best performer, and he knew not to steal the spotlight, proactively giving the other three a lot of screen time, making the show more engaging. The production team was so pleased with him that they initially only signed him to a three-season contract on a trial basis, but after the first episode aired, they signed Tao Rui directly to a full-season contract.
Tao Rui returned to the set to film. Cheng Xu asked him curiously, "Didn't you say before that you were afraid of the dark and couldn't sleep alone? How come you were so brave in the haunted house?"
It was the original owner who was afraid of the dark. Tao Rui laughed and said, "Wasn't he only nineteen then? He wanted to do everything with others. After his debut, he lived on his own and was so busy every day that he fell asleep immediately. He didn't feel like being afraid anymore. Besides, when it came to recording a show, he knew it was all the staff pretending, so what was there to be afraid of?"
Cheng Xu felt that if he went there, even if he knew that it was the staff pretending to be there, he would be scared if a ghost suddenly appeared. He would probably have nightmares for several days after staying in there for such a long time. Who would be as heartless as Tao Rui?
But such heartless words seem to better explain why Tao Rui was so outspoken in the past, and why he had no way of controlling his facial expressions, like sitting aside with a lost look, looking at his teammates alone. Perhaps he was too true to his nature and didn't know how to conceal it.
Because they often acted together during filming, Cheng Xu felt that Tao Rui had a good character and personality, which made her doubt her previous negative impression of him. But it didn't matter what the truth was, as long as they were at peace now.
At least he could feel that Tao was very sorry about the past and had been teaching him acting, which was already a way of compensating him.
Tao Rui is filming a variety show for business, and his fans are really happy. After finding out that Tao Rui is worried about losing fans if he reveals his true nature, they all said that they will never stop being his fans and let Tao Rui just be himself.
In the past, fans often felt that the company was too controlling, that it constrained the artists, and that they used rules and regulations to force them to have a personal image. So, Tao Rui's transformation didn't surprise them. Instead, they felt that this was Tao Rui's true nature. After Tao Rui revealed his true nature, they liked him even more.
Companies do have various restrictions on idols, so Tao Rui didn't take the blame, so he didn't explain for the company. As long as they make money, the company doesn't care about anything else.
After filming several episodes of "Haunted House Escape," "Young Alliance Leader" also wrapped, and intense post-production began. The director was very satisfied, noting that the smooth filming saved production costs and allowed for excellent publicity in the later stages. He even considered Tao Rui a lucky charm, and at the wrap-up party, he drank a lot of wine with Tao Rui and kept thanking him.
Tao Rui said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Director, if you really want to thank me, please find me some work. My acting skills have improved, but no one knows about it yet, so no one wants to hire me."
The director laughed and said, "If you hadn't come to audition, I wouldn't have hired you. Okay, I'll recommend you."
This is not a big deal. If you are related, the recommendation is just a matter of mentioning it. Besides, Tao Rui does not need to have connections, so he can just audition normally.
So Tao Rui successfully got a role that was very difficult to play. It was the protagonist of a modern criminal investigation drama, a highly intelligent psychologist.
The protagonist has a very high IQ but very low EQ. He cannot empathize with others and does not care much about the distinction between good and evil. He appears to be very dangerous and is the most suspected suspect by the police from the beginning to the end.
From the day he was drawn into the case, he'd become fascinated by it. As he unraveled clues and apprehended criminals, he gradually distinguished between good and evil, siding with justice. He even went undercover, risking his life and facing death numerous times, each time managing to overcome his challenges with his exceptional intelligence and wit. Ultimately, the police refused to fully trust him, believing he was even more formidable than the gangsters he'd captured.
The plot of this drama is very compact and every episode has something to watch. When I read the script, I felt like I was reading a world-famous popular American drama. It is a rare and very good script in China.
This role wasn't originally Tao Rui's choice, but the director of "Young Alliance Leader" happened to know the director of a crime drama and strongly recommended it to him for an audition. The director had been fretting over the lead role, unable to find a suitable actor. The premise demanded a good-looking, handsome, and 20-something figure. But he couldn't find anyone in the entertainment industry who was in their twenties who could play the role well.
He decided on Tao Rui's audition right after the interview because Tao Rui's on-the-spot performance of a psychologist gave him such a chilling smile!
This was exactly the effect he wanted, so after finding the leading actor, he urged all parties to get started and start filming immediately.
Tao Rui also negotiated a condition with him: it would not affect the filming at all, but he would go out to record a variety show during the filming. The director allowed him to shoot for two days before agreeing. Because he really did not affect the filming progress at all, the director was willing to relax his requirements.
Tao Rui had just finished filming a drama and immediately went to another set to continue filming. He also had to record a variety show. Lao Qi and Xiao Zhu gradually adapted to his new rhythm and the fact that he had indeed made progress.
During this time, Tao Rui released a song he had his company create specifically for him. It was perfect for his current singing skill level, neither too high nor too low, yet not too difficult. While filming "Young Leader," he consulted Cheng Xu numerous times and practiced tirelessly on his own, ultimately resulting in a very successful song.
Fans discovered that Tao Rui had filmed two live variety shows, another recorded variety show, and two TV series in a row. He was really prolific all of a sudden. By the time these works were broadcast, it felt like we would be able to see Tao Rui on TV for the next six months.
This suddenly gave fans a sense of urgency, because Tao Rui had said more than once that he worked so hard, and being his fans also had to work hard.
Everyone suddenly felt that compared to their idols' diligence, they themselves were too lazy, and some people were truly inspired to work harder. This was especially true for students who, after developing a belief-like conviction, were easily focused, intent on getting high scores to impress their idols.
There are also things Tao Rui said like "Don't brag" and "Don't I have face?", and fans have unconsciously become more humble in their words, and are unwilling to quarrel with others, because quarreling will ruin their popularity. Tao Rui has won so much popularity with himself, how can they hold Brother Rui back?
The result of this convergence is that many people have noticed that Tao Rui's chaotic trending searches have disappeared, replaced by more positive or funny ones. And Tao Rui's fans haven't been causing any trouble in months, as if they've suddenly stopped being a cult.
Did he suddenly grow up?
But no matter what people think, it is true that the impression of Tao Rui and his fans has improved a lot. At the same time, Tao Rui's variety shows have also begun to help him gain fans.
Many people who are afraid of ghosts dare not watch Tao Rui's "Escape from the Haunted House" because they did not see his performance, but many people watched "Journey Adventure".
This is a new variety show, but it has a strong background. Before it was aired, it bought splash screen ads on major live streaming platforms. Everyone who opened the live streaming platform knew that this variety show was about to be broadcast, so the ratings for the first episode were not low.
The show started before daybreak, and Tao Rui and the other six people were called together. Dozens of sandwich cookies were placed in front of them for them to challenge.
"If you finish the cookie without changing your expression or happily, you'll get one point. If you frown, spit it out, or look disgusted, you'll get zero points. Each person has three attempts to do the challenge, and the final total score will determine which car you'll drive."
Tao Rui and the others looked to the side. On one side were six bicycles, and on the other, a high-end commercial vehicle. It was already late autumn, and riding a bicycle in the capital was not only tiring but also cold. The six of them immediately declared that they must eat the cookies.
But the first person ate the biscuit and vomited, "What is this, mustard???"
The second person tried hard not to vomit, but tears welled up in his eyes. "This... is incredibly spicy."
After Tao Rui put the biscuit in his mouth, he paused. There was something extremely bitter inside. Tao Rui decided not to embarrass himself and simply threw the biscuit into the space. He "finished it" without changing his expression. "If you eat it, you will get one point. I will challenge you three times."
Tao Rui got another super salty and super sour bite, and he threw them into space, successfully scoring three points. Unfortunately, his teammates didn't score much, and in the end, they still didn't get the business car. Tao Rui encouraged, "It's okay, let's ride faster, sweat and we won't be cold anymore. Let's walk, walk, walk, and get there early so we can find a warm house."
However, the program team must have all kinds of tricks. There was a fat man who was given the smallest bicycle. After he got on it, he rode it crookedly. Others were afraid that he would crush the bicycle.
As for Tao Rui, he felt something was wrong when he got the bicycle. He took a closer look and said, "My tire is flat!" He told the production team, "It's leaking. I need to get a new one."
“I’m asking myself to find a way to get to the destination.”
Tao Rui was about to complain when he suddenly laughed, "What did you say? Find a way to get there yourself? Any method will do, then?"
"Huh? Not really..." The director was stunned by the question. He looked around and tried to explain, "It's just that the tire is flat. You have to find a way yourself, like finding a place to pump air or something, like..."
Tao Rui waved his hand and smiled, "You guys just said that you should find a way to get there. Asking someone to cheer me up is also helping me. Asking someone to help me with other things is also helping me. Anyway, you don't allow us to bring money, so you just ask people to do things for you."
After he said that, he immediately caught up with the other five people with his bicycle. After they got together to discuss, he ran to a nearby breakfast shop and offered to help them work and attract customers. If the boss was satisfied, he would treat them to breakfast and then drive them to a certain place.
Seeing they were celebrities filming, the boss agreed without hesitation. As daylight gradually brightened, the number of cars and people outside increased. Tao Rui and the others were soliciting customers outside, recommending the restaurant's food and hoping they'd try it. Thanks to the celebrity effect, some less busy people actually came in for breakfast, and soon the restaurant was full.
So Tao Rui and his friends not only had a hearty meal, but also successfully took a bus to their destination.
The director said, "You are too cunning. From now on, we will be more careful in what we say and will not let you take advantage of any loopholes."
Tao Rui said with a smile: "That's not necessarily true. Let's just film it and see."
[Hahaha, Tao Rui figured out the program team's routine and used the program team's routine against them]
[666, keep taking advantage of loopholes, don't stop. I love seeing you guys taking advantage of loopholes and making the production team helpless.]
[Look forward to the program team upgrading their routines and competing with the guests in wits and courage! ]
【Keep challenging, don’t stop all day long! 】
Of course the director wanted them to continue the challenge, so he set up a game session and asked them to climb a mountain. The ranking would be based on the height they could no longer climb to, which would determine what clothes they would wear for the subsequent recording.
Tao Rui and the others looked to the side and saw that out of the six sets of clothes, only one was suitable for the temperature in late autumn. From the second set onwards, the clothes became thinner and thinner. The second to last set was a thin sun-protection jacket, and the last set was even the loose short-sleeved shorts worn on the beach.
Tao Rui said, "I'm better at this, so I won't let you do it."
"Hey, I'm an expert at climbing mountains. It's not certain who will win."
"Don't look at me because I'm fat. I'm actually very flexible."
After talking for a few minutes, they started to climb. The fat guy was just bragging, of course. He was out of breath and couldn't climb anymore after climbing for a while. He persisted for a while and then waved his hand to give up.
The others also tried their best to climb, but gradually some gave up. Only Tao Rui easily climbed to the top, stopped there and looked down at them. After confirming that they had all given up, he smiled and said, "Then I won't climb either. Do I win?"
It's not that he was afraid of the cold, he just felt that only the thickest set of clothes looked normal, while the others were colorful and looked weird.
The comments were all amazed at how skillfully he climbed the mountain, like an athlete. The director then said with a smile, "Announce the rules for choosing clothes. The person who climbed the lowest height gets to choose first, and so on. The person who climbed the highest height gets to wear whatever others have left."
Tao Rui was just coming down the mountain when he heard this and stopped. He looked at the director in surprise, "What? Climb the highest point and pick up the leftovers?"
The fat man reacted and laughed out loud, "Oh, luckily I gave up early. Xiao Rui, why are you climbing so hard? Are you sweating now? Short-sleeved shirt and shorts are just right, hahaha."
The others couldn't help but laugh. Tao Rui immediately untied the rope and walked up to the director. "Director, this doesn't make sense. Is there really such a competition?"
The director spread his hands and said, "Those climbing the highest are more physically fit, so they can wear less. Those climbing the lowest are weaker, so they're given special consideration and priority. It makes sense. Don't worry, maybe the person who chooses first will save the best outfit for you."
The audience almost laughed to death.
Tao Rui's expression cracked, hahaha. He never expected that there are higher mountains than the other. The program team actually has more tricks than him, hahaha.
Rui Ge's bewildered expression is hilarious. He kept the best-looking outfit. That short-sleeved shirt and shorts with a green background and red flowers look so rustic, haha.
I want to see Rui Ge wearing that flowery outfit, but I’m also worried he’ll catch a cold. I’m so torn.
[It’s out, it’s out, Rui Ge, hahahahahahahaha]
Tao Rui changed into the clothes given by the production team. They were green with red flowers, just like the patterns on the big cotton-padded jackets and quilts he used to wear. It was really quite strange. He usually dresses very fashionably wherever he goes out, but today's appearance suddenly made him look very strange.
Tao Rui silently pulled out his sunglasses and put them on. His handsome, expressionless face made things even funnier. Everyone present and in the audience, without exception, erupted in laughter. It was truly monstrous.

Tao Rui brought countless laughs to everyone through these two live variety shows, and also made more people know him. His number of fans soared, making him a model of idol transformation, turning into a funny type.
