Chapter 670: Soft and Slow

May 28th was the agreed day for the recording of "Runningman". Chi Jingyuan was called by his manager early in the morning. Before dawn, he changed his clothes and went to the beauty salon to do a simple look.

However, his hair is shorter and easier to style, and filming variety shows does not require heavy makeup. If his agent hadn't asked him to at least make up his hair, he would have gone without makeup and a hat.

Chi Jingyuan cut his hair short when he was filming "Signal" at the beginning of the year. Later, he suddenly felt that he seemed to be very suitable for the short hair style. It was good-looking, easy to manage, and very unique. He was very popular among the long-haired idols at the event. Eye-catching, he is one of the very few male idols who looks more handsome with short hair.

Then he fell in love with it and decided to focus on short hair styles in the past two years. Some time ago, after his hair had grown long, he had it cut again, keeping it slightly longer than when he was filming. The length of his hair was just right. In the song He is considered unique among male idols in the world.

"ah……"

The car was driving fast on the highway. Chi Jingyuan sat in the back seat of the nanny car and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This time "Running Man" was filmed in Ganghwa Island on the peninsula, which geographically belongs to the Incheon Metropolitan City. It is about fifty kilometers away from Seoul. It takes more than an hour to drive from the city center. Chi Jingyuan took advantage of this time to lie down I squinted for a while to relieve my sleepiness from getting up too early.

"We're almost there, get ready." Park Jae-hyun in front reminded him when he felt the movement.

"Yeah... Got it." Chi Jingyuan looked up at the newly dimmed sky, shook his head that was a little confused after waking up, and responded softly.

After a while, the nanny car drove to the agreed location. It was a place that looked like a farmhouse. It was built on top of a large slope. The overall decoration style was very classical. It was surrounded by trapezoidal gardens and lawns. It matched the scene in the early hours of yesterday morning. It had been lightly raining for a while, and the surroundings looked lush and green, and the scenery was quite good.

Before entering the parking lot, Chi Jingyuan saw the sign of the "Runningman" program team. After entering, there were already staff waiting. When they got off the car, they were led by the executive to the small yard next to it. At this time, people were coming and going. At this time, the PDs and several MCs from the program team were almost here, and they were gathering around to talk about something.

"Senior, Anihasay..."

Chi Jingyuan had already tidied up before getting off the car. As soon as he came over and saw everyone, a smile appeared on his face, and he politely saluted and said hello to everyone.

Chi Kyung-won has appeared on "Running Man" twice before, both in 2013. Once with the EXO team and once because of "The Heirs". In addition, the peninsula is very small and all entertainers are concentrated in Seoul, so they often I met them on TV stations and other programs, so he knows all the MCs of "Running Man". Several of them have phone numbers and he is quite familiar with them.

"Hey Yigu, Jingyuan is here."

"Hahaha, why are you so polite?"

"Come here quickly!"

The PDs and MCs were very happy when they saw Chi Jingyuan coming. They stood up and greeted each other with smiles. Some of the more cheerful ones clapped their hands and came directly to greet them, patting them on the shoulders and back. Yes, looking very close.

"Ah, we're finally here. I've invited you several times before. It's really hard to invite Jingyuan." He greeted Chi Jingyuan lively. Liu Zaishi couldn't help but look at Chi Jingyuan after he came over. Chi Jingyuan sighed with emotion.

"Ani." Chi Jingyuan waved his hand quickly: "Actually, I have always wanted to come a long time ago, but the company has no arrangements."

Before the other MCs could nod after hearing this, Liu Zaishi couldn't help laughing, pointed at Chi Jingyuan and nodded, then smiled and shook his head.

"What's wrong?" Kim Jong Kook and HAHA immediately asked curiously.

"When he appeared on several other programs I hosted, I asked similar questions, and he always said the same thing every time." Liu Zaishi explained to them with a helpless smile, and then imitated Chi. Jing Yuan's current appearance narrowed his eyes with a smile, waved his hands, and imitated his tone: "Actually, I have always wanted to come a long time ago, but the company has no arrangements."

"Hahaha..." Song Jixiao laughed along with several others: "So Jingyuan is like this?"

Ji Seokjin frowned and pointed at Yoo Jae Suk and interrupted: "Oh, I am too busy to come and say that. I have already given you a step, and you still insist on exposing it."

"Arnie." The MC and PD were both too enthusiastic. Chi Jingyuan was a little embarrassed by these people: "The main reason is that I don't have a very good sense of artistry."

Liu Zaishi, who was smiling, looked at Ji Jingyuan and his tone became a little serious when he heard this: "Actually, I think Jingyuan has a good sense of artistry. He can attract the audience's attention no matter what he does. Sometimes just standing here is... Okay, some things and people who speak different languages ​​will have more artistic effect..."

Before Liu Zaishi finished praising him, Chi Jingyuan interrupted him with a bitter look on his face: "Brother, please stop praising me. I'll just do it a few more times."

"Hahaha……"

A group of people made a joke and dispelled some unfamiliarity. Then the PD carefully explained the focus of today's recording, and then everyone began to make final preparations before shooting.

Large-scale outdoor variety shows like "Runningman" may not reveal the specific game links, but the general process of each episode is generally known to the MC or guests in advance. Occasionally, the writer will specially design a few interesting plots and scripts for them to perform.

But generally there is no too specific script, and you will not be told what to say next. Many times it depends on the personal performance of the MC and the guests. Sometimes the program team will deliberately not tell the recording staff when encountering some interesting things, and then specially film their most real reactions and effects on the spot.

After several MCs and Chi Jingyuan took the assistants and drove the nanny car away, the recording officially began.

…

The white nanny car that had just been here and then drove out for a circle stopped at the gate of the other courtyard again. Liu Zaishi got off the car. He was wearing a white sportswear and a baseball cap on his head. As he walked inside, he skillfully greeted the VJ who had been waiting here for a long time:

"Good morning."

"Are you hungry?" The voice-over of the VJ came from the front.

"What do you mean? What are we going to shoot today?"

"Let's start the game after dinner."

While chatting with the VJ, Yoo Jae-seok walked into the courtyard. As soon as he came in, he found a huge long table placed in the corridor at the entrance of the courtyard. The table was full of a variety of delicious food, crabs, sashimi, shrimps and other seafood, grilled fish, steaks, barbecue, sausages, and other meats, various vegetables, strawberries and fruits, etc. There was even a chef who set up a rack in the middle to grill eels on the spot.

"There are white plates and blue plates here, count as one color, and then you can pick the food you like." The on-site PD told Yoo Jae-seok what to do at this time through the voiceover.

"The color of the plate should be based on the team, right? I'm wearing a blue hat, so I'll choose a blue plate." Liu Zaishi thought for a moment, picked up a blue plate and began to happily select food: "Great, all of these are edible, right? Oh my god... I like this."

He picked a little bit of this, a little bit of that, and even took two pieces of freshly grilled eel. After a while, he filled a plate with food and walked into the hall with satisfaction along the corridor. Seeing the two rows of blue and white tables that had been set up, he sat directly in front of the blue table out of habit.

Just when he was about to enjoy the delicious food, he suddenly put down his chopsticks under the instruction of the on-site PD, walked to the side and unveiled the blackboard in front of him. The curtain marked the ingredients for each dish. Then the PD told him the rules of the first game of the day:

"How many foods you choose yourself, you have to get the ingredients for those foods yourself."

If you choose fish, you have to go to the sea to catch fish, if you choose chicken, you have to catch chicken yourself, if you choose honey, you have to go to the bee farm to collect honey, and so on...

It's not that you get it yourself, but a team works together to get the ingredients for the food selected by everyone in the team.

"..."

The blue hat who was just proud and ready to enjoy the feast in front of the camera was immediately dumbfounded. He looked at the plate of food he was slowly eating and couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Ah qingjia, ha, so speechless..."

"I should have known not to take this grouper..."

It took a while before he couldn't help laughing. After arguing with the PD for a few words to get a bargain, he sat back helplessly and started eating in despair. While complaining, he looked at the monitor and cursed the next person to choose more than him...

Then Kim Jong Kook, Song Ji Hyo, HAHA, Lee Kwang Soo got off the car at the door several times. Under the PD's deception, the artists took a large plate of food. After walking in and knowing the rules, they complained. While eating, they complained to each other, and then waited together for the next unlucky person, cursing the next person on the other team to take more.

Soon all seven MCs arrived. The blue team already had four people, and the white team had only three people. They ate and chatted:

"It seems that there is one person missing on the opposite side."

"Yes, there is still an empty seat. It seems that someone else will come today... Could it be a female guest?"

As they were discussing, Liu Zaishi saw the figure appearing on the monitor next to him and suddenly shouted: "Ah!"

The other MCs also looked over, and then they all showed shock, and their voices of surprise and joy were louder and louder:

"Oh my!"

"Oh my..."

The perspective switched to the door. At the same time, a nanny car stopped at the door of the villa. Chi Jingyuan got out of the car briskly, wearing a baseball cap, a simple white T-shirt with jeans and canvas shoes, and looked up at the villa in front of him.

If it is officially broadcast, the program team will definitely insert his introduction VCR at this time, and after the singing of "you can call me monster", the melody of the main song "Monster" that has been released by then will be selected, and then a few close-ups of "Signal" or "Misaeng" will be selected, and then matched with titles such as "The fantasy of a Peninsula girl, a super popular EXO member, a synonym for young actors, a candidate for TV King, and an old friend of RM."

"Is it Yuan?"

"Jingyuan?"

"Is it really Jingyuan?"

Several MCs in the room started shouting in surprise. They were more surprised and excited than the other when they saw Chi Jingyuan appearing on the monitor. Their performances were also more exaggerated than the other. HAHA stood up and pointed at the screen and shouted, "Jingyuan is my brother."

"Ahhh...XO!XO!Yuan!" The only female MC Song Ji-hyo was extremely excited. She quickly swallowed the food in her mouth and didn't even eat. She pushed the stool back and jumped out. She jumped around like riding a horse. The clanging footsteps were very loud. She waved her hands while jumping: "Finally I've waited for it! Finally I've waited for it!"

"Aniha Saiyo, EXO.Yuan Yimida..." At the door, after taking a few brief glances at the surrounding scenes, Chi Jingyuan smiled and greeted the VJ who had been filming him.

"How do you feel about this place?" The VJ filmed and led him, and occasionally gave a voice-over interview.

"The scenery is really great, and the weather is great today."

"Are you hungry now?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

Chatting casually along the way, Chi Jingyuan soon walked into the courtyard and came to the table full of food. Seeing the table full of food that made people's mouths water, he was also a little stunned.

Although it was not his first time to come here, and he had just met the MCs here, he really didn't understand the upcoming game, nor did he know the deep meaning of these foods.

"Can all these be eaten?" He picked up the last white plate and asked the VJ.

"Choose whatever you want, anything is fine."

"Yeah."

Chi Jingyuan looked at the table in front of him and nodded.

After so many years of debut, he is no longer like when he first debuted and didn't talk much every time he appeared on variety shows. After participating in so many programs, he has also developed his own variety show style. There is not much exaggerated funny, and he will not say anything deliberately. He just behaves very naturally, whether it is words or expressions.

But the audience's reaction was very good every time, just like what Liu Zaishi said just now, some actions and words are very attractive when they are made by special people.

But at this moment, he looked at so many delicious dishes in front of him, but he had no appetite at all, and even felt a little nauseous.

Most restaurants in the peninsula will not open until after nine or ten o'clock. There are no special stalls, and there are no breakfast shops. If you are hungry in the morning, you usually go to convenience stores, McDonald's and other places to buy something to eat. Therefore, most people in the peninsula do not have the habit of eating breakfast. Their breakfast is lunch.

But Chi Jingyuan, who has lived in the mainland and Amei for a long time, has a habit of eating breakfast. If he gets up early, he will eat some hamburgers, and he or his assistant will cook some porridge, which is lighter.

Seeing so many big fish and meat at this time, it is really a bit hard to eat.

The MCs in the indoor hall watched Chi Jingyuan walking back and forth in front of the table with an empty plate on the monitor. The three members of the White Team, Kim Jong-kook, Song Ji-hyo and HAHA, began to wave their hands generously: "If it's Jingyuan, it doesn't matter if he eats more."

"Eat, eat, eat more..."

After pretending to say a few words, when they saw that Chi Jingyuan only served a bowl of white porridge in the end, all the members of the White Team showed their true colors and slammed the table: "Nice!"

"Why don't you choose more?" Seeing Chi Jingyuan walking inside with a bowl of white porridge, the VJ asked in surprise. Looking at his expression, he wanted Chi Jingyuan to go back and pick some more.

"Because..." Chi Jingyuan hesitated: "I ate a little before coming here, and I'm not very hungry now."

"Oh..." The voice-over was full of regret.

"Ah, Jingyuan!"

"Oh oh oh oh..."

"Pah pah pah."

As soon as Chi Jingyuan walked in with a plate and white porridge, he was warmly welcomed by the MC team of Running Man. Several people shouted and applauded. As soon as he sat down, Song Jixiao next to him took the initiative to stretch out her hands and clapped his hands vigorously.

"Jingyuan, why did you only take so little? Just drink a bowl of porridge?" After greeting, Lee Kwang Soo looked over with an angry face: ""We have to get all the ingredients ourselves. If I had known, I wouldn't have eaten so much."

"Huh?" Chi Jingyuan took a look at his white porridge and his eyes lit up: "Then I'm not..."

There are mistakes in love. It would be too easy if it was just a bowl of white porridge.

"Your team's is also yours. "Before this, Liu Zaishi on the opposite side kindly reminded.

"Uh..." Chi Jingyuan turned his head and looked at the unfinished food on the plates of the three people next to him who were on the white team, and nodded weakly.

I remembered that it seemed useless to be good at this variety show. There would always be some people who would hold you back.

Hearing this, he even felt less in the mood to drink porridge.

After everyone took their positions and chatted for a few words, the PD began to introduce today's rules: "Today, the team that completes the 'Dangerous Table' task first wins..."

After saying a lot, Chi Jingyuan didn't even understand what it meant the first time. In the end, he asked HAHA next to him to figure it out a little.

In short, it is to obtain the food materials that all the members have just eaten within a limited time, and the team that fails in the end will be punished.

Looking at the list listed by the program team, Chi Jingyuan was relieved.

Even with his help from Baizhou, the White Team still had a lot of ingredients to get. They needed crabs, vegetables, strawberries, fish, milk, eels, chicken and eggs.

But compared to the Blue Team, they were much happier.

There was no room to write down the ingredients for Liu Zaishi's team, especially with the chilling thing called "honey"...

Getting honey in person was simply a torture and torture for someone like Ji Jingyuan who was born with disgusting bugs.

After the tasks were divided, they started to act separately. Song Jixiao and Jiang Gary were naturally assigned together as they were the famous Monday couple, while Ji Jingyuan, Kim Jong-kook and HAHA, the chicken-catching trio, set off in the car. Kim Jong-kook, who was very confident in his driving skills, drove the car, Ji Jingyuan sat in the co-pilot, and HAHA sat in the back. Cameras were set up in several places inside the car to shoot the whole process.

This episode of Running Man was not interesting in the beginning, so I'll just write about it briefly. I'll focus on the name tag tearing after Twice came out in the end.
