Chapter 225: Group Brilliance Is the Way to Go
Running Man is not a professional competitive program, so the results are often not very important.
In all the competitions, Chen He and Wang Zulan are the most troublemakers. If they can't shine, they need to get everyone's attention by being clowns or making trouble in various sports.
In this weighted obstacle race on the acupressure board, Wang Zulan was already very outstanding without acting, and was directly pressed down on the acupressure board. Lu Han tried very hard, but the young and handsome guys are still young and handsome guys, and there is a big difference in absolute strength.
Fortunately, there were girls in the other two groups, and Chen He, the troublemaker, deliberately showed off a little bit. As a result, when the last baton was handed over, Chen Hao, Li Chen and Deng Chao were almost at the same starting line, and he was only a little behind the two. Sparks collided immediately, and Deng Chao, who was gradually a troublemaker on weekdays, also showed all his strength.
This last leg is obviously prepared for the strongest players of each team. First, they have to carry a participant weighing more than 200 kilograms and run a distance of 30 meters. In this 30 meters, they have to cross three obstacles that are not high. On weekdays, they can pass through them with just a lift of their legs. However, today, the obstacles are only 30 centimeters high. For them, they have to stop from running to do this. The weight on their bodies is too heavy. If they want to run and step over them, they need stronger strength.
After running over, there is a horizontal bar to pierce balloons. You need to wear a special hat with spikes, then jump up and grab the horizontal bar, do pull-ups, and then use the spikes on your hat to pierce the balloons. There are three balloons in total.
Finally, in the form of frog jumps, through real bamboo shoots, it is much more painful than stepping on a normal acupressure board. Frog jumps to the finish line, announcing the end of the game. The team that finishes first can gain the advantage in the last link. According to the program team, this advantage will be the key to the final victory.
While waiting, Da Hei Niu gave Chen Hao a look, and he received it, which meant that he didn't need to hold back in the next game, just show your strength. There were enough jokes in the front, and it was better to be serious in the back to maintain the true nature of this program.
The square dance aunts and sisters weighing more than 200 kilograms fell on Chen Hao. In the past, he would definitely be unable to move, but now he found that the pressure was not as great as he imagined. He roared and ran forward. He didn't stop in front of the obstacle. He didn't stop and caught up with Li Chen and Deng Chao in front of him. With one step, he jumped over the obstacle and continued to run forward.
There were screams at the scene, and the members of the Running Man team who had completed the task before also came over. They were going to make trouble, but seeing the state of these three people, the serious and hard-working sportsmanship in the program still had to be shown.
When Li Chen and Deng Chao saw Chen Hao catching up, they also roared and rushed forward desperately, with a posture of loving whoever they wanted. They fought hard. It's boring to always walk leisurely in the recording of the program. It's good to have a sense of urgency occasionally.
Chen Hao and Li Chen almost ran side by side to the first task point. Deng Chao didn't fall behind. Facing the balloons on his head, Deng Chao seemed much weaker. His pull-up movements were deformed. Everyone knows that Li Chen is the big black bull and the power of the show. He also works out all year round. Everyone is used to his performance in such links.
Chen Hao was a complete surprise. He was wearing a night running outfit. The black tights were close to his skin. The sports shorts outside would cover the muscles on weekdays, but when he had intense exercise, everything would be revealed, especially the pull-up. The muscles of his arms and back were stretched and close to his body because the sports T-shirt outside was stretched. When he did the standard pull-up, the muscles of his arms and the curves of his back were revealed. Several people screamed at the scene. Then the camera pushed to Chen Hao for a close-up, focusing on his arms, his back, and his neck.
Three times, clean and neat, the balloon was punctured directly. After Chen Hao came down, he deliberately posed to annoy Li Chen who was still working hard and Deng Chao who completed the task painfully. Then, before the other two groups of members were ready to come over to besiege him, he went to the third task point and directly did a standard frog jump, enduring the severe pain. The first place attracted two hosts to come over to shoot him. The painful expression was very attractive to the camera. The sharp big bamboo shoots were very lethal. Chen Hao was the first to cross the finish line. After crossing, he did not let his play end at this moment. He sat on the ground and took off his socks painfully. You can clearly see the deep marks on the soles of his feet. The camera pushed from the middle shot to the close-up of his feet.
In a show of more than an hour, a guest who gets one more second of close-up may add points to your performance throughout the show.
Seeing that Deng Chao still failed to pass the pull-up balloon puncture link, Chen Hao put on his socks, got up and ran over, signaling Chen Hao, who was helping in the same group, to come together, one on each side, grab Deng Chao's legs, and lift him up so that he can puncture the balloon smoothly.
When people around saw Chen Hao's actions, without commenting on him or his own preferences, they saw that he was an artist who was very suitable for performing in variety shows. He knew how to make himself the focus of the camera and how to get more effective shots in the show, instead of wandering around in front of the camera the whole time. When it came to editing, they found that there were actually not many shots left for you, just the few close-up shots and short interviews that everyone had. Apart from that, you were just a narrator and a background.
A physical activity always requires several shots to find a particularly good effect. Today, the effect of one shot is very good. The last baton of the three teams all performed well, and the playfulness in the front was also great. The director team definitely added one round. The second round was shot three times and it was successful. At this time, it was a little dark and everyone was tired. We stopped shooting for the day and went back to rest.
Take a shower, put on makeup, change clothes, eat, rest. At about eight o'clock in the evening, everyone got together again and went to the library. After the physical work, of course, we had to do the literary work. We gave some pictures to some people with weak constitutions. Here, we searched for books according to the clues, and finally used the books as code books to decipher the codes of their respective teams. The first one to decipher the code wins and can get a medal, which will give an advantage in the final stage.
"This segment can be long or short. If it's long, everyone performs well, and that's the content of two episodes. If it's short, everyone's performance is average and there's no good TV effect. It will be cut very short in the later stage, and it will still be the content of one episode."
Before the start, Deng Chao told everyone the news. Most of the episodes that can be made into two episodes are the last explosion of tearing name tags, or the brain-burning specials. There are many stories, and it's a pity to cut them out in the end, so they are all left. (Complaining about the latest episode of Running Man, a clue of young fame makes the brain-burning become pig-brained, and there is too much content for one episode. There is no suspense. If Deng Chao and Lu Han were not deliberately made to read the wrong information and make a person of the same zodiac sign, this episode would not be able to fill an hour of content)
"If we prepare two episodes, we may add one more game tomorrow and cut it to the front." Li Chen added that they are all old people and know how to play this Running Man very well.
Recording two episodes, to put it bluntly, is a saving of effort. For a twelve-episode program, the actual recording is eleven times. For those celebrities who are already very popular and have constant invitations for events and commercials, the schedule is very tight. If Running Man records one less time, they can rest for two more days or take on a commercial event.
At the same time, there is another subtext for broadcasting in two episodes, that is, the director team thinks that the recording of this episode is very exciting, and broadcasting in two episodes will not be criticized, and it can also make the audience impressed and think that this episode is very interesting.
It's just a program, and the director team has this idea?
Or is it because of the guests?
Is it Na Jie?
Or that newcomer?
………………………………
At night, the recording in the library lasted until very late. The most interesting part was the ‘customers’ in the library. All of them were found by the director team as part of the clues. They were either wandering around the bookshelves or sitting there reading. When they first entered, everyone actually saw it, but for the sake of the show effect, they pretended not to know until a certain point, when the identities of these people were revealed. Everyone began to chase them for clues to complete their own clues.
Chen Hao's performance in this link was quite satisfactory. Da Hei Niu told him, and he himself analyzed it. It is unrealistic for you to be the only one who shines from beginning to end. Even if you have this ability, you have to hide your shortcomings, otherwise everyone will be offended by you. In a variety show, everyone must show their talents, otherwise this variety show will inevitably die early, and the internal struggles will have been turned upside down. How can you make a show that everyone likes?
It was a brain-burning search for clues. Chen He was outstanding, Wang Zulan was not bad either, Deng Chao was just a troublemaker, Reba and Na Ying were serious, Zheng Kai and Lu Han were also serious, and Da Hei Niu was more marginalized at this time, playing an interspersed role. Chen Hao also turned himself into an auxiliary, and the two of them, Lu Han, searched and ran without feeling tired at all to find clues for Wang Zulan to help him complete the task.
It was already past eleven o'clock after recording the library content. Chen Gang arranged some snacks and fruits for the waiter to send some to each room. Not much, and the value would not be very high, but it was very heartwarming.
Chen Hao returned to the room, took a shower, changed his clothes, and still insisted on broadcasting for two hours. A day of shooting made him very excited, and the physical consumption was not a big deal for him. What was the most difficult thing?
The most difficult thing was to face the 70,000 or 80,000 visitors in his live broadcast room, and he had to bear not to reveal the news of participating in the recording of Running Man. For this reason, after the live broadcast, he also deliberately read the news about Running Man.
The new season of Running Man has started recording. Some distant shots from the first episode appeared on the Internet, and some shots from the second episode have just been updated. In these photos, Chen Hao did not see himself. He was satisfied that he had concealed it but also felt a little disappointed. It turned out that he was really not photographed and no one noticed him.
