Chapter 396 Do you understand the value of the Asian hit back then?



Wei Yang also realized that the director team of "Running Man" was rather conservative and couldn't stand this stimulation.

After all, they are new to reality shows and lack experience and courage, so they dare not make it too big. Therefore, they hope that the contestants will behave themselves and be active within the rules, rather than compete with them in wits and courage and create "surprises."

After realizing this, Boss Wei felt a little bored.

It's not that he necessarily wants to cause trouble for the production team, it's mainly because some of the tasks are too stupid and he could easily find a way to take shortcuts, but he definitely can't stand being "tortured" in such a stupid way.

In comparison, he still prefers variety shows like "Go Fighting" which have greater freedom and are more fun to watch.

But after all, it is his own variety show, and Boss Wei can't destroy his own reputation.

Moreover, when the program team did not allow it and everyone else was behaving themselves, he kept taking advantage of loopholes, which made him seem too "smart".

Therefore, Boss Wei gave up on taking shortcuts and honestly bought food in the Korean market according to the requirements of the program team.

The difficulty increased suddenly!

Wei Yang and his friends didn't understand Korean, and the Korean stall owners didn't understand Chinese or English. The only clue was the food names transliterated from Chinese, but they didn't know what they were, so they could only guess by gestures. Even if they guessed correctly, they still had to complete the task if they wanted to take the food away.

Fortunately, they are all artists, so they are not shy and have thick skin. As long as the other party does not show any obvious disgust or resistance, you can just ask them.

Since South Korea has a well-developed entertainment industry, there are many similar variety shows. You can tell what's going on as soon as you look at the camera, not to mention that many Korean market vendors have already reached cooperation with the program crew.

Therefore, the difficulty of the task was not particularly high, it was mainly due to language barriers and a competition of speed among the three teams.

"What's this?"

Wei Yang was muttering this word, trying to find a passerby to ask. There was a camera following him, so the noise was quite loud.

"Oppa!"

Then the two girls looked at him in shock, covering their mouths exaggeratedly. When they saw Wei Yang's face and the photographer, they screamed even more.

"It's Professor Gu."

"It's really him. Oppa is coming to Korea."

"Is this a variety show? It's a bit like Running Man. Where are Yoo Jae Suk and the others?"

“…”

The voices of the two girls attracted some people's attention.

Some people saw Wei Yang with confused faces and didn't know what to say, some people seemed to be thinking about something, as if they found his face familiar, some people recognized him easily, and were either surprised or delighted, talking about him, and some even tried to talk to him, but Wei Yang couldn't understand.

Back then, "My Love from the Star" was extremely popular in East Asia and also caused a sensation in South Korea. It was very popular.

Professor Gu’s title of Asian male god is not just for fun. I don’t know how many Korean girls’ dream lover he was.

In the following years, works such as "The East Palace", "Joy of Life" and "Come on, My Love from the Star" also flowed into South Korea. Although they were not as popular as "My Love from the Star", they also had some influence.

"The East Palace" and "My Sunshine" have also had their adaptation rights bought by Korean companies, just like "My Love from the Star". I heard that the latter is already in production.

So even though Wei Yang comes to Korea relatively rarely, he is one of the few Chinese stars who is very influential in Korea and has a huge number of fans.

The production team of "Running Man" may have had selfish motives in choosing to put these two episodes in South Korea.

They wanted to use these two episodes to reveal Wei Yang and his partner's popularity abroad and increase their exposure and topicality. This would not only benefit the program team, but would also benefit the two of them and "Super Time Cohabitation", so they naturally reached an agreement.

So when the director team, who had been observing the recording of the show, saw Wei Yang being recognized and the close-ups of the fans' excitement, they couldn't help but wave their arms.

He knows too well how powerful the popularity of Chinese stars abroad is!

In fact, if Wei Yang was in China, this configuration would have been recognized long ago.

But in Korea, although his popularity is not bad, he is not known to everyone, and his exposure is relatively small. In addition, he is not Korean, so people's first impression is not that of him.

You will notice that something is wrong, and you will inevitably feel hesitant, wondering if you have made a mistake or if this is something like an imitation talent show.

Only true fans know enough about Wei Yang to quickly identify the real person through various reasons and dispel other people's doubts.

When someone truly recognized Wei Yang and received positive feedback, Boss Wei's popularity in the market suddenly increased a lot.

Many fans or onlookers surrounded him, and many people were taking pictures with their mobile phones, making it a star-chasing scene.

Boss Wei has always been cunning. When he saw this scene, he immediately started thinking. He couldn't ask for help from outside the field to cheat, but he couldn't just stand by and watch while the enthusiastic people on the scene helped.

"Excuse me, is there anyone who can speak Chinese or English?"

Wei Yang asked questions in Chinese and English. His English level was not very good. When he was in school, he was just average, otherwise he would not have applied to an art school.

Later, due to work and other reasons, I had to understand English at all. I made an effort to learn it, but I could only barely communicate in English and not be deaf and dumb.

Fortunately, there are still many talented people among the crowd. After all, this is a large market in the capital, and it is even a bit like a food street, with quite a few young people there.

Needless to say, English is the universal language of the world, and with the increasing development of the country, there are many people learning Chinese in Korea. Anyway, Wei Yang quickly picked out a few people, one of whom was a Chinese student.

This Chinese student's Korean is OK, but he doesn't have a deep understanding of Korean food. When it comes to Chinese transliteration, he is even more confused. Therefore, the main translator is still Koreans who are familiar with their own food.

With the help of these enthusiastic fans and passers-by, Wei Yang and his team's mission progressed smoothly.

There were so many people watching him that even many vendors had an impression of him. Some people who had seen his dramas asked him to take photos with them, and he completely ignored the tasks of the show.

Coincidentally, Boss Wei was recognized because Fan Qianqian, who was as popular as Professor Gu back then, is also very popular in Korea.

So not long after Wei Yang was exposed, Fan Xiaopang was also recognized and turned into another fan meeting.

However, most of the people on Wei Yang's side are women, while on Fan Xiaopang's side, there are both men and women, but there are relatively more men.

They were all in the same market, and Wei Yang's method was also borrowed by Fan Xiaopang and a few others, so Wei Yang's yellow team completed the task first, followed by Fan Xiaopang's green team. The three men in the red team had the highest combat effectiveness, but could only come at the bottom.

Here we can see the gap between sports stars and entertainment stars. Liu Feiren's influence is also not weak. He is also known as the Flying Man of Asia and the Pride of the Yellow Race. In terms of actual reputation, he may even be above Wei Yang and the other two.

But his name is well-known, but his face is not that well-known. Many people in China may not recognize him, let alone Koreans.

If you are not a sports or athletics enthusiast, you would have no idea who this tall, thin and strong man is.

In the end, the Green Team won, followed by the Yellow Team, and finally the confident Red Team. The Green and Yellow Teams were truly proud, and Chen Chichi and Xue Zhiqian mocked them even more.

There's nothing we can do. The Red Team was just clamoring and now they've been slapped in the face, so why don't we just step on them?

They gathered in the morning, did tasks in the market in the afternoon, and it was evening. According to the arrangement of the program team, all the team members checked into a Korean B&B and waited for tomorrow's recording.

This segment has the feel of a slow variety show. In previous recordings, there has never been a scene where a group of people spend the night at the show venue. It is relatively new for the seven-member group as well.

But in order to create some fun, the program team still held a room-grabbing game competition.

There are two deluxe single rooms, two medium double rooms, and a large bunk bed that can sleep four or five people.

The double room is similar to the single room, except that the big bed is divided into two small beds and there is no food.

The big dormitory is rather shabby, with no bathroom or even a bed. It is just a larger bed on the floor, and the place is quite crowded. Basically, apart from the luggage, there is only space for sleeping, and if there are too many people, they have to sleep next to each other.

Obviously, a single room is a reward, a double room is a guarantee, and a dormitory bed is a punishment.

The game is very simple. Nine people in three teams are separated and start individual competition. Whoever has the highest score has the right to choose the room first.

Theoretically, the first two of the nine people can sleep in a single room, the first three to six can sleep in a double room, and the remaining three can sleep in a dormitory bed.

This immediately aroused everyone's competitive spirit!

The games in the afternoon are more about having fun, and winning or not is not that important. But the games in the evening involve which room to sleep in, which is directly related to personal interests. No one wants to squeeze into a large bunk bed with two other people.

The content of the game is very simple. The program team asks questions and nine people compete to answer. If the answer is correct, +1 point will be added.

At the same time, since the questions are basically related to nine people, the parties involved cannot answer the questions.

Everyone has a buzzer connected to the same device. The screen of the person who presses the button first will light up, and then they can answer the question. If they answer correctly, they will get +1 point. If they answer incorrectly, they will be eliminated from this round and other people will have to answer again.

After explaining the rules of the competition, everyone understood them, and then the director asked the first question.

[In which year did Mr. Sha Yi debut? 】

This sentence confused everyone except Sha Yi. This question seems simple, but it is actually very difficult.

Because Sha Yi debuted very early and his early works were not very eye-catching, he is the type of late bloomer, so the question is really difficult to answer.

Even Wei Yang was stumped by this question. He knew some of Sha Yi's early works, but who could remember so clearly the year of his debut?

But you still have to grab it. What if you guess right?

Xue Zhiqian acted the fastest, or rather, he didn't even consider which one was the problem and just grabbed it first.

Unfortunately, he couldn't get it back after he got it, so he could only guess: "1985?"

"Get lost!"

Sha Yi was so angry that he wanted to fight him: "Brother is not a child star, how can I be that old?"

Rouba won the second round of answering: "2000? I remember Sha Ge was born in 1975, so he was probably around this age when he graduated from university."

Sha Yi gave a hint: "We are already quite close."

Deng Chao and Wang Baoqiang also tried to guess, but none of them got it right. Wei Yang also got a chance, but still couldn't get the correct answer.

"I only know that your debut work seemed to be a movie of Liao Zhai, and your name seemed to be Xi Fangping, but I forgot the exact year."

“It’s true.”

Sha Yi was very pleasantly surprised. He was still barely considered a handsome uncle now, and not so miserable that his profile would be dug up for comparison, so everyone knew that he had done very little since his debut.

If I hadn't checked Baidu in advance, even a few close friends might not have known it, but I didn't expect that Wei Yang, a big boss, could actually say it.

Wei Yang smiled and said, "Actually, you will suffer a little in this competition, because when I asked you to come to the recording, I looked at all of your information. I may not remember all of it, but you definitely have an advantage."

He also showed it to a few people: "I don't remember the year Sha Yi debuted, but Bingbing Jie started filming in 1997 and became famous in 1998."

"Brother Chao acted in a play during his junior year, and became famous in 2002 with The Young Emperor."

"Lao Xue was a contestant on My Style My Show and became famous in 2006 with the song Serious Snow."

"I forgot the year Baoqiang debuted, but his first work was "Blind Shaft", and he also won the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer. Chichi is simpler, it's "Love Apartment"."

"Not to mention Rouba, whose debut work was "Eastern Palace", which I personally selected. Feiren has never acted in a play. He joined the national team in 1999, and his first major championship was the 2001 World University Games."

Wei Yang briefly mentioned the few pieces of personal information he remembered, which really stunned the others.

On the one hand, he was surprised that Wei Yang was worthy of being the boss. He was cautious in his work, had read everyone's information, and most importantly, could still remember it.

On the other hand, I lamented that how could I win when playing this kind of game against someone who had memorized the information.

"Don't panic. Isn't this a question I can't answer either?"

Wei Yang doesn't think he is a know-it-all. Having advantages doesn't mean he can bring them all out. It also depends on luck.

His guess was absolutely correct. Although Wei Yang had read the information and could remember a lot of key information, the key still depended on luck.

He only answered one of the first five questions correctly, he didn't know the answers for three, and he knew the answer for one but was too slow to get it.

After five rounds, Wei Yang had 1 point, which was in the middle. The one who answered the most correctly was Fan Xiaopang. She was lucky and smart, and she struck back. After the person involved gave her hints and others kept eliminating wrong answers, she guessed two questions correctly.

Liu Feiren also guessed one question correctly, but there was still one question that no one could answer, so it was abandoned.

Each question in this game is answered very slowly, and the production team cannot keep playing forever. At this pace, as long as six people get 1 point, the remaining three unlucky guys will have no chance, so the situation becomes more and more intense.

[What is Rouba's full name? ]

As soon as the program director finished asking the sixth question, Xue Zhiqian immediately seized the opportunity and shouted it out excitedly.

"Dilri Rouba!"

"Wrong answer."

Rouba smiled and said, "Di Li Rouba is just part of my full name, a bit like a stage name."

Now everyone else was completely stunned. Many people didn’t even know that Dilirouba was not her full name. Only Boss Wei calmly grabbed the second chance.

"Dilroba Dilmurat, with her surname at the end and Dilirouba being her given name, which means beloved beauty."

"Wow."

Everyone was surprised. This name was not easy to remember. Even though Wei Yang had read the information, he did not expect that he could remember it. Rouba himself had starry eyes and looked at Wei Yang with admiration and affection.

"Boss, you remember everything."

"Of course, my employees must know more, otherwise I would be a boss for nothing."

Fatty Fan keenly noticed that something was wrong with Rouba and pursed his lips: "Do you remember Gulinaza's full name?"

"Of course, Gulinaza Baihetiyar, her name means flower-like appearance."

Everyone applauded and praised Boss Wei's professionalism. Rouba felt jealous and couldn't help feeling regretful, as it turned out that he was not special. Only Fat Fan felt relieved when he saw the latter's expression change.

Little girl, fight with me! (End of this chapter)
