Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang stayed in Beijing for two days, participated in some interviews and activities, and then flew directly to South Korea from the Capital Airport.
They will stay in Korea for 2 to 3 days to participate in the recording of two episodes of "Running Man".
"Running Man" is extremely popular now. The ratings of the last two episodes have exceeded 2 and are currently heading towards 2.5. The market share is 7~8% on average, competing with "Where Are We Going, Dad?"
From this point of view, "Running Man" has a slight advantage because the two programs are broadcast on different platforms.
Strictly speaking, the Hunan Provincial TV Station has sufficient platform advantages. Their fixed audience group and influence are unique among satellite TV stations.
If the two programs have similar influence in all aspects, under normal circumstances, the ratings of "Where Are We Going, Dad?" should be slightly higher. The data are now the same, which means that "Running Man" still has a slight advantage.
In particular, "Running Man" has another advantage, which is that it is very suitable for guest stars to show up.
If you cram two or three into one issue, even if there are not many shots, you can still get a lot of exposure and promote some film and television projects at the same time.
On the other hand, the show "Where Are We Going, Dad?", because its main selling point is cute kids and celebrity dads, at most the mothers can come to join in the fun, but it is not suitable for other flying guests, only one or two can come occasionally, and the exposure and publicity effect are minimal.
Under such circumstances, "Running Man" naturally became a hot topic among the outside world, and the guest stars in each episode were sought after by artists and some crews.
Under this premise, only Boss Wei can have the ability to release two episodes of programs at once for promotion.
In other words, it's not just two episodes, there will also be another "Joy of Life 3" with some of the main creators participating in the recording.
In fact, "Joy of Life 3" is the opening drama of the Hunan Satellite TV in the new year, and "Running Man" is affiliated with the Shanghai TV. Letting them participate in the recording would be a favor to the enemy.
But since both projects are under the Blue Whale, with the mediation of Boss Wei, Shanghai TV had no choice but to turn a blind eye.
Of course, in return, "Joy of Life 3" will not be promoted directly on the show, but multiple main creators will appear, and then subsequent momentum will be created through the exposure of the show through other channels.
Due to the scale of "Joy of Life 3", the publicity effect will definitely not be bad. Wei Yang probably will not participate in this episode, and let other people show their faces more.
But Wei Yang has to do "Super Time Cohabitation" himself.
The reason for choosing the Korean special is that the ratings for these two episodes will be higher, and the China-Korea showdown will be more topical, which can maximize the exposure and publicity effects.
At the same time, the program team also arranged the theme of these two episodes to be time and space + love, in order to build momentum for "Super Time and Space Cohabitation".
This shows the benefits of having a top variety show! Just take out two episodes for promotion, covering a full two weeks, and also with matching topics and various private goods, this is a treatment that other crews can't get even if they try their best.
It is said that other permanent guests were filmed starting from China, with cameras even covering the airport and the plane, while flying guests appeared and gathered in South Korea, so the previous steps were omitted.
The program crew arrived first and made some arrangements. After Wei Yang arrived, there was no need to say much in the way of greetings. As time was tight, Wei Yang and the other person started to change their clothes.
Wei Yang wore a yellow T-shirt team uniform, while Fan Xiaopang wore a green one.
Seeing that the two people had different colors, Fatty Fan was a little dissatisfied: "Aren't we from the same team?"
"With the two of us and the seven permanent MCs, we can be divided into three groups. The flying guests are not familiar with the show, and since they came together, they tend to stick together, which is not conducive to filming. We must be separated."
"Oh well."
Fat Fan was convinced, and then he said excitedly: "I'm looking forward to the name tag tearing part. It's fun to watch it on TV."
In fact, Wei Yang was also a little bit looking forward to it. He had watched dozens of episodes of the show in his two lifetimes, but he had never tried to tear off name tags. This time he could finally have a taste of it.
"Two teachers, the others have arrived, the director asked us to assemble."
After chatting for a while, the staff came to report that they had already met the resident MC and the two of them had also started to join the team.
"Let's go."
Fan Xiaopang is a little eager to try it out. She has recorded many variety shows, but this kind of reality show feels very new, so she can't help but be eager to try it.
…
South Korea Airport, Parking Lot Several resident MCs are joking around in front of the camera. Now that the show has been aired for several episodes, they have all gained a lot of experience and have accumulated a certain tacit understanding. The seven of them talk to each other and never leave their words unanswered.
"Now, let us invite today's two flying guests."
Following the director's order, Fat Fan walked out first, causing an exaggerated wolf howl. Deng Chao and Chen Chichi, who were also on the green team, were so happy that they jumped up and down, and the others also joined in the cheering to show their respect.
"It's Sister Bingbing!"
"Ahhh, I'm so happy. I'm on the same team with Bingbing."
"Let's welcome Bingbing."
“…”
Even though Fan Xiaopang acts crazy in front of Wei Yang, in front of the camera and the public, she is a genuine Asian superstar, a true goddess.
With a slight smile on her face, she walked lightly up to greet a few familiar people and also gave a hug to the little girl named Rouba.
"This is my first time on 'Running Man'. I hope everyone will take care of me."
"Don't worry, Brother Bao is on it."
Deng Chao is still keen on pursuing the effect of the show. When he saw Fan Xiaopang's goddess-like demeanor, he immediately found his own position and pulled Chen Chichi to act as a funny bootlicker, with an attitude of banging his head against the wall for Bingbing.
In addition, the more active Xue Zhiqian and Sha Yi also started to make some fun.
The latter was the Red Team, which was in the same team with Wang Baoqiang and Liu Feiren. They appeared to be the strongest, but they were all men, and Sha Yi immediately began to dislike them.
"One team has soldiers, the other has meatballs, but we are just three stupid old men. It's boring."
Wang Baoqiang’s character is that of a serious person, not so “lustful”. He is also very competitive and more concerned about combat effectiveness.
"The three of us working together can tear apart their two teams."
This is quite true. After several episodes, although there have been wins and losses, the audience can still rank the general fighting power of the guests.
Liu Feiren is the strongest, and it would take at least two people to tear off the name tags against him. Moreover, if they are not careful, there is a high possibility that one of them will be killed and the other will flee, or even both of them may be wiped out.
There was a previous episode where Liu Feiren had his peak battle, where he faced Deng Chao and another male guest alone, and he defeated them all, showing how capable he really is.
But if three people besieged him, unless Liu Feiren could break through and kill one of them in a short period of time, he would be restrained and killed.
Of course, this is more or less related to the fact that Liu Feiren cannot use his full strength. The explosive power of this kind of professional athlete is no joke.
But it's a game, so there's no need to take it so seriously, so Liu Feiren usually runs away when he encounters this situation, and if he can't run away, he will die.
Apart from Liu Feiren, the next best is Wang Baoqiang, who has practiced martial arts and is agile and strong. He has a high chance of winning in a one-on-one duel.
Next are Deng Chao and Sha Yi. The fighting power of these two is average. They are usually quite strong and their occasional outbursts are amazing.
Then there is Chen Chichi. He is actually quite strong and might not lose to Sha and Deng in a real fight. In fact, he might even be stronger due to his weight advantage.
But his will to fight is not strong, and his personality is that of a timid and lazy person, so he often avoids fighting or flatters others, appearing to be relatively weak.
The remaining Xue Zhiqian is at the bottom of the list among the boys. He is rather thin, and is a sneaky and clever person, so he doesn't dare to fight head-on with others. He is good at hiding and escaping. In a duel, he usually sneak attacks or bullies girls.
In terms of combat effectiveness, Rouba is undoubtedly at the bottom. There is nothing we can do about his physique.
However, her fighting spirit is also very strong. She is usually well-behaved, but when it is time to perform, she dares to fight and has the character of a tomboy.
She definitely cannot beat other male guests in a one-on-one fight, so she always fights against female guests, or launches sneak attacks or sieges them.
So from this point of view, Liu, Wang, and Sha's combined strength in tearing off name tags is extremely powerful. If they are not alone, they will kill gods and Buddhas.
Liu Feiren next to him also showed a confident smile. As a professional athlete, he is also competitive.
The show is just a game, and there are all kinds of surprises, but who wouldn’t be happy if you can win?
Normally when tearing off name tags, he is always besieged by various groups of people, and the people with the strongest abilities often run away. Today's configuration is the strongest since the program was recorded. With three people joining forces, he is not afraid of being besieged by two teams.
When Sha Yi saw these two fighting maniacs, he sighed repeatedly.
His character is not so cunning, but he is not a diligent person either. He is more Buddhist, a little confused and unlucky, and has no desire for victory. He has to suffer for these two lottery kings, who are not as attractive as the girls.
Xue Zhiqian's reaction was more intense. He shouted that it was unfair and directly betrayed the team. He exaggeratedly wanted to join the Green Team and devote himself to Fan Xiaopang.
Chen Chichi chased him away, and Deng Chao even tried to sow discord: "Why are you joining our team? Isn't Rouba good enough?"
Rouba quickly picked up the gag and looked at Xue Zhiqian dangerously: "Brother Xue, don't you want to be on the same team with me?"
Xue Zhiqian then realized that he was only concerned about the show effect and had put the meat aside. He smiled awkwardly and hurried back to explain his loyalty.

"I mainly want to be an undercover agent and disrupt their..."
After a while of excitement, the guest Wei Yang also came on stage, and the reactions of the MCs became even louder.
The most intense among them is Xue Zhiqian. He has a strong desire to perform and is very active in the "Running Man" program.
Some people think he is awkward and trying to steal the limelight, while some people like the way he is noisy. But no matter what, he has indeed formed a distinctive personal style, and his popularity aside, his presence is very strong.
"Hahahaha, my boss Wei is here, and he's on the same team with me. Just wait for death. Do you know whose show this is, hahahaha."
Xue Zhiqian laughed wildly and then slugged over again, holding Wei Yang's arm like a little eunuch, looking arrogant and proud, like a villain who has achieved success.
Chen Chichi was so angry that his teeth itched: "Didn't you just say that you wanted to be with us, and that you wanted to give up the dark and join the light."
"Who said that?"
Xue Zhiqian refused to admit it, and hugged Wei Yang and said arrogantly: "Wherever our President Wei is, that's Ming."
I have to say that Xue Zhiqian is very good at finding effects. If you can accept his exaggerated behavior, you will find it quite funny.
Wei Yang really enjoyed chatting with him: "Old Xue, please take good care of me, a newcomer."
"No problem. If the boss tells me to go east, I won't go west. If the boss tells me to beat the dog, I won't chase the chicken. The boss's orders are above everything else. I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Xue Zhiqian got into the game very quickly, which attracted the other two teams' contemptuous comments. They talked and laughed, and everyone exchanged pleasantries. The director began to guide the process.
They made up a random excuse and asked them to go to a location in South Korea to carry out a mission.
"Go, go, go go!!"
"Hurry up, don't let anyone get there first."
"Find a car first."
After the task was issued, the three teams started to get busy. The red team was the most excited and started to rush forward. Deng Chao's green team was not slow either.
The yellow team that Wei Yang and his team belong to is the last one, mainly because Wei Yang is still trying to understand the rules.
"The production team has no restrictions, so I have to pay for it myself, right?"
The three teams set off, and the program crew distributed mobile phones and funds to them for their use.
Mobile phones are the sponsors of the program, needless to say, but the funds are limited. In a foreign country with different languages and customs, it will definitely not be a problem to prepare more money.
Wei Yang studied the rules of the game and found that they did not allow the use of their own funds, so he first led the two to the airport bank to exchange money, and then went directly to the airport agency, spent money to buy a Mercedes-Benz, and rushed to the destination.
"Can we still play like this?"
The director team was a little confused. After recording so many episodes, they rarely asked the guests to spend money, and many props and venues were prepared by them.
Under the arrangement of the program team, even if the guests have no money, they are accustomed to saving money or using their looks.
This was the first time they encountered someone like Wei Yang spending his own money directly.
How should I put it? Reality shows were just emerging at that time, and everyone was relatively simple and honest. They just followed the production crew's arrangements and rarely took advantage of loopholes. The guests didn't really think about using their own money to complete the task.
"What should we do?"
The director team looked at each other, not knowing what to do. The key point was that other guests could directly change the rules to limit them, but Boss Wei was the boss and could not be easily offended.
"I pretended not to see it this time. There are some plots later, and the rules of the scene state that you cannot use your own money."
The director is a ruthless person. It feels good to spend money, but the show effect is gone. In essence, the selling point of the show is still to make celebrities embarrassed, so the guests cannot have it too easy, not even the boss is an exception.
"Understood."
So, when the other two teams were stammering and asking for directions and taking taxis to their destination, Wei Yang and his team were already waiting here.
The cars at the airport are fast and stable, and they serve tourists from all over the world. Many of them understand Chinese and English, so there is no language barrier.
After the three teams gathered, the program team announced the next game task, which was to buy things in a famous vegetable market in South Korea according to the prompts.
The condition is that you cannot use money, neither the program team’s money nor your own money. You can only beg by showing your face, or complete the tasks given by the bosses and the program team in exchange.
Now that the loophole has been blocked, Boss Wei can no longer use his cash power and can only act according to circumstances.
Then they encountered the first problem: the language barrier.
A few artists knew a little English, but this was Korea and it was a vegetable market. How could there be many people in a place like this who could understand English or Chinese? They could only gesture aimlessly.
Seeing Deng Chao struggling to communicate with the Korean lady, Boss Wei had an idea.
“You can’t use money, but it doesn’t say you can’t ask for help off-site.”
Wei Yang directly took out his mobile phone and made a call, told the other party his requirements, and then handed the phone to the Korean boss, who quickly understood what he meant.
Xue Zhiqian was curious: "Do you have any Korean friends?"
"no."
Wei Yang smiled and said, "My company has business dealings with South Korea, and there are many people who know Korean. It just so happens that one of them is in my secretarial team, so I temporarily transferred him over to serve as an interpreter."
Xue Zhiqian: “…”
Rouba: “…”
The secretary and the team are so ambitious!
Director team: “…”
I report it, can money be used like this?
