Chapter 384: The Charm of Reality Shows: Acupressure Mats and Name Tag Tearing



As far as the so-called ability setting is concerned, Liu Feiren has no doubt about it. The physical fitness of professional athletes and ordinary people is completely different, not to mention Olympic champions like him or even big guys who have reached the limit of the human body.

However, from the perspective of variety shows, Liu Feiren is more introverted, even honest.

Wei Yang and Liu Feiren had met several times, and combined with some information and past experiences, he had a general understanding of each other's personality.

In private, he is still very gentle and polite. Once you get to know each other, he can be playful and speaks relatively humorously. However, he can be very arrogant sometimes, especially in his professional field, and he looks down on everything.

This is normal. Excellent athletes all have a domineering attitude and even those athletes who are easy to talk to often have their own pride.

Without this energy, how could one endure boring training and achieve remarkable achievements in competitive sports?

However, perhaps because of his age, or because of his poor performance in recent years and the low point in his life, Liu Feiren's personality has become much more mature and stable than before.

This is also one of the reasons why he is relatively introverted in the show. Another reason is that he is not a professional artist after all, and he lacks experience in front of the camera, so he is inevitably a little nervous.

This is also within the consideration of the program team and Wei Yang.

From the very beginning, they didn't expect Liu Feiren to be able to get into the state quickly, and they even considered that he would maintain this style all the time.

There are quite a few people involved in the show "Running Man". Deng, Xue, Sha and Chen are all responsible for making jokes. There is no shortage of Liu Feiren to perform in variety shows. He only needs to be responsible for the setting of the capable people, and naturally there will be other people to cooperate with him to play jokes and create the show effect.

The original Big Black Bull is just so-so. The character’s setting as a person with special abilities is average, and he often engages in awkward conversations, but many people still like him.

Of course, it would be great if Liu Feiren could show some qualities that are beneficial to the show.

Wei Yang still has some confidence in this. Liu Feiren has a cheerful personality. If he gets familiar with the other guests and the program recording, he will let go of some of his restraint and nervousness. Even if he is not as active as the other guests, he can be much more active.

Again, Liu Feiren’s greatest role is not to create effects, but his brand.

Maybe he is not the most suitable person, but he is definitely the biggest and most influential person. His joining will bring various benefits to "Running Man" beyond the show.

"It still has to be me."

Boss Wei gave himself a thumbs up. Inviting these guests saved a lot of advertising space and maximized the gimmicks.

After all, this is the pride of the yellow race. What Kim Jong Kook, how many seconds do you run for 100 meters?

In addition to the seven permanent guests, there were two flying guests in the first episode, all of whom were familiar faces -

Wang Kai and Zhao Ji

One is from Coral Entertainment and the other is from Blue Whale. These two people starred in a low-budget movie. Wang is the second male lead and Zhao is the female lead. They came here in the first episode to test the waters and promote the movie at the same time.

Moreover, the two of them are not small stars, and they are well-known outside, especially Zhao Ji, who is considered a quasi-first-line actress.

The joining of the two has added a bit of star power to the newly released "Running Man". Similarly, this is also a good exposure opportunity for the two.

If "Run" wants to become famous in the future, it will definitely cooperate with external companies and artists, but it will definitely give priority to its own people.

The Blue Whale series of projects and artists will probably appear frequently in the "Running Man" program in the future.

Nine people gathered together, and the program director Balabala said a few words about the setting, which was probably similar to being an agent in the Magic City, Balabala.

There are two directors of "Run", one from Blue Whale and the other from Shanghai TV. There is also a Korean team providing guidance, but they do not have direct command authority.

Wei Yang’s meaning is very simple, learn + practice, and try to learn the skills of the Korean team as much as possible so that his own team can grow as soon as possible.

Even if the quality of the program is a little worse in the early stages, the command cannot be handed over, otherwise our own people will not be able to take on the responsibility and will always be controlled by the Koreans.

At this stage, many people in the circle suffer from inferiority complex and can't help but bow down to foreign technical guidance. Not only in variety shows, but also in film and television, they are often taken the initiative by others.

Boss Wei is not one to indulge others. He says, "I've paid you, so you have to do your job well. You can give me suggestions, but don't be too condescending and bossy."

The earth can still spin without anyone. If you can't do it, there are others. If you want to make money, don't put on airs.

There were two people in the Korean team of "Running Man" who were causing all kinds of trouble. After they reported it to Wei Yang, they were directly sent back to their country by a phone call from their boss.

At that time, the two people were clamoring to ruin this project, but after returning to their country, there was no movement at all. Instead, South Korea sent two new people not long after.

The reason is very simple. No matter how awesome the employees are, they are still employees. How can a project worth hundreds of millions or even more be ruined because of two employees?

Boss Wei thinks he is protective of his own people and would not be so impulsive, let alone the Koreans who treat their employees like beasts of burden, not to mention that they are in the wrong.

This incident served as a warning to others and greatly suppressed the arrogance of the Korean team, thus promoting cooperation and exchanges between the two sides.

I believe that after the first season of "Running Man" is over, the people in the program team will be able to become independent to a certain extent and become the backbone of the Blue Whale Variety Department and even the entire domestic variety show field in the future.

Wei Yang always thinks deeply when watching the show, but the others don’t have so many thoughts and just watch the show with laughter.

During the show, the nine guests were divided into three teams, red, yellow and blue, and competed against each other three by three.

The first project is the classic game of "Running Man" - acupressure board.

This thing is made of plastic or rubber, has a certain hardness, and is uneven. When you step on it barefoot, the gravity of your whole body is pressed under your feet, and the uneven acupressure pads on the ground feel very sore.

The program team set up an acupressure track and asked each team of guests to take turns to pass the level, and finally compete to see who takes the least time.

The first to go on stage were Wang Kai, Wang Baoqiang and Xue Zhiqian from the red team. Wang Kai grimaced and barely made it through, while Wang Baoqiang was a little more aggressive, gritting his teeth, glaring, and rushing forward roaring.

The one who made the most noise and was the most miserable was Xue Zhiqian. He could be said to be the one who got into the state the fastest among the guests.

Although he lacks experience in variety shows and his jokes are a bit awkward, he is bold and active and dares to interact and look for the camera.

When other guests were still nervous and awkward, he was chattering non-stop. Just now, he kept cheering for the Er Wang. He had the most shots in the early stage.

And the last level just happened to be running with a fat man on his back, accompanied by Xue Zhiqian's desperate and hard roar, which made people laugh both inside and outside the screen.

"Oh, hahaha, this is so funny."

Gao Yuanyuan laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes. The essence of this game is to build happiness on the pain of the parties involved.

The more unlucky, painful and miserable the person is, the happier people will be watching. "Running Man" is even more of a show that "tortures" celebrities, and the humor is even more outstanding.

“Does this acupressure mat really hurt that much?”

After laughing, Gao Yuanyuan became curious about this game prop. Wei Yang didn't understand much about it, so the person involved, Wang Baoqiang, explained it vividly.

"It was extremely painful, sore and swollen, and I couldn't stand at all, especially the green one, which is an upgraded version. I couldn't help but feel weak in my legs when I stepped on it."

"Haha, I wonder if they sell it. I really want to try it."

He could see that this woman was probably used to a good life and now she wanted to seek excitement...

The show was still going on, and several other people came on stage one by one, grimacing in pain, screaming and crying, with exaggerated tears coming out.

Gao Yuanyuan found it very funny and laughed a lot. From time to time, she asked Wang Baoqiang about some details of the recording.

Wei Yang was also amused by the show, but he still viewed the show from a more macro perspective.

It can be clearly seen that these people now have no idea what reality shows are all about. Their immaturity and confusion are visibly evident. Especially for people like Wei Yang who are used to watching later variety shows, they don’t find many aspects of it fun, and some even find them a little embarrassing.

There's no way. These people have never been exposed to similar programs, so how can they perform well right from the start?

Fortunately, the candidates were well chosen. Although Deng Chao was not good at controlling the situation, he kept passing on the messages and tried his best to prevent the situation from becoming awkward.

Xue Zhiqian was the most active and positive. Even though his performance was a bit awkward at times, he still boosted the atmosphere of the entire guest audience.

Chen Chichi and Sha Yi also showed some comedic skills, and the jokes were relatively natural.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Chen Chichi also started competing with his old classmate Zhao Ji without any instruction, and successfully lured Sha Yi to the field, and the two of them successfully "started fighting".

Rouba's performance is not that of a star, but he is not shy or pretentious at critical moments, and with his exquisite looks, he still attracts countless eyes.

Liu Fei didn't have much time to show for himself, but he had a solid foundation and excellent competitive performance, which gave others an opportunity to flatter him.

Wang Baoqiang is actually a bit "mediocre". His ability to show off is not as good as those who are responsible for comedy. He can't compete with Liu Feiren in competition, and he doesn't have the bonus of being chubby, gender or appearance.

But he has a serious attitude, is proactive in his work, dares to interact, has a high status, and is popular. He is compatible with both the lower and upper levels. Perhaps his individual performance is not so eye-catching, but he can assist in cooperation and play the role of a good supplementary adhesive.

Overall, Boss Wei was quite satisfied.

There is nothing wrong with the configuration of the program team. What is lacking now is experience and mutual understanding. As the program is recorded, I believe the performance will get better and better.

It turned out that Wei Yang's idea was right. It didn't even take long. In the second game session, everyone got familiar with each other and the atmosphere and cooperation became much more harmonious.

This is normal. Most of these guests are acquaintances, and the leaders Deng Chao and Wang Baoqiang are easy-going and can afford to make jokes.

With the help of Xue Zhiqian, Sha Yi and other funny guys, everyone soon started having fun.

In the second game session, players answered questions and were launched into the water, or even dug holes for each other to show off.

The fun of this game is not only watching the stars pit each other, but more importantly, watching them get unlucky. It is quite thrilling to see the glamorous stars being thrown into the water and screaming in fear.

Variety shows like "Happy Camp" and other indoor games also have similar games that are intended to embarrass celebrities.

But it won’t be overdone, the scene and noise won’t be that big, and the guest effects will be random, so the viewing experience will naturally not be as exciting as “Running Man”.

"Who came up with this game? It's so mean."

Gao Yuanyuan's face turned red from laughing. Wei Yang looked around and saw that the others were not much better, including Wang Baoqiang, the person involved. One photographer even laughed like a pig.

To see the big picture from the small, I think these experienced crew members must be having a lot of fun. For ordinary audiences, the effect will definitely not be bad.

Boss Wei's mood gradually calmed down and he focused more on variety shows.

After another round of games, it was finally time to tear off the name tags, which is also one of the biggest highlights of Running Man.

This program is absolutely competitive, similar to the later chicken game, or a more superficial version of hide-and-seek.

Survival + Fighting Guests can challenge each other or form alliances. Choose from sneak attacks, hard fights, hiding, and a variety of gameplays with strong unexpectedness, and you can also see the characteristics and style of each guest.

There is also a sense of freshness. There has never been a similar game or model in the country before, which attracts attention.

In addition, the tracking shooting and recording has a bit of a first-person perspective, and since it is the first episode, everyone is relatively conservative and not familiar with the rules, which adds a bit of tension.

There is a scene where two girls, Rouba and Zhao Ji, team up to search for clues cautiously, and suddenly they run into Wang Baoqiang at the corner.

With the help of sound effects and editing, the atmosphere is very lively, and those who feel more involved in the film will get goose bumps.

This was the case with the timid Gao Yuanyuan. She was so scared that she pinched Wei Yang's thigh. Boss Wei was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He pinched and touched Wei Yang several times in revenge.

Gao Yuanyuan wanted to argue with him, but was attracted by the show again.

Several guests were reluctant to attack each other and kept hiding until they eliminated one or two of them. At this time, the program team released Kim Jong Kook as the big devil.

The original version only has this part, where Kim Jong Kook has a huge advantage against a bunch of rookies.

Things are different now with Liu Feiren.

To be honest, Liu Feiren doesn't mean he will win for sure. There are many name tag tearing and sneak attacks. In addition to strength and speed, skills must also be considered, and he can also launch a siege.

After all, it's a variety show, and Liu Feiren can't play it seriously. The production team will let him go appropriately. If two or three people surround him and he can't run away, there is a high probability that he will be taken down.

But Liu Feiren is not omnipotent, but he can't be a scared rookie, so the program team gave Kim Jong Kook some cheats.

Not only is there a map for pursuit, but there are also two black-clad assistants, and three people are hunting together. In this way, if the guest is left alone, he will die. The sense of oppression is even stronger than the original version.

But it is also because of this that the stronger the oppression, the more united the guests become, joining forces to fight the enemy, and even having the so-called sacrifice complex.

For example, in order to save Zhao Ji, Rouba took the initiative to lead away the man in black and then eliminated him heroically.

In the final battle of three against three, Liu Feiren tried his best to kill the two men in black, giving Deng Chao and Sha Yi the opportunity to besiege Kim Jong Kook, and finally won.

To be honest, the script is a bit strong, and it's a game, but the editing and atmosphere are so good that I still feel moved when I get into it.

The most important thing is that it interprets the charm of the name tag tearing game and embodies a certain team spirit.

After the show ended, the audience felt a little reluctant to leave and gave it high praise. Gao Yuanyuan even expressed it directly.

"Your show is quite interesting, can I go?"

"It depends on your performance."

Wei Yang rubbed his hands, savoring the touch just now, then took out his phone to communicate with the person in charge of the program team. In addition to encouragement, he wanted to see the various data of "Running Man" as soon as possible, judge the benefits of this project, and consider the subsequent layout.
