Chapter 263 - Recording Running Man!

SBS television station.

Even late at night, the meeting room was filled with lively discussions.

For one spot!
Tomorrow's My Love from the Star special.

On Running Man, there are seven hosts, plus Bai Ye and Yang Mi.

So that makes nine people.

Because tomorrow is a team competition.

The main characters are Bai Ye and Yang Mi.

Therefore, there can only be two teams.

So, at this point, someone has to be added.

But who exactly is being added?!

This has become a problem.

Because that's where the profits come from!

Everyone wants to place some of their own people in their positions.

In any company, there are bound to be some people you are quite familiar with, whether they are agents or celebrities.

"Let's choose a boy! After all, Yang Mi and Song Zhixiao are both girls. If we add another girl to the list..."

This team is difficult to divide into groups, so I would suggest having one male member!

Ideally, they should be more well-known, so we can reap greater rewards!

The person who spoke glanced at the other people in the conference room.

Previously, this had been a point of contention.

Her proposal was relatively neutral.

Otherwise, if we keep talking about it, we might not be able to finalize the selection until tonight or tomorrow.

"But who can we contact?! All the big names are fully booked these days, we simply can't find anyone!"

As for the male actors, we've basically asked them everything we could.

Or they're just thinking about stuffing their own people into the scheme.

If we add other people, wouldn't that put our own people at a disadvantage?!
Therefore, from this perspective, many people do not want to see this.

After all, anything that isn't related to one's own interests is basically unavailable due to scheduling conflicts.

"Then why don't we just find a girl and have Bai Ye bring two girls with him? We can make sure the script focuses more on Bai Ye."

This also perfectly highlights the character of the White Night Alien.

yes! ! !

Why do we need a male celebrity? We don't need to make it look fair. We just need to make Bai Ye look weaker so that it's more interesting.

Only then can the audience be truly eager to see how Bai Ye's side will win!

The more one of the senior executives talked, the more he felt that his idea seemed pretty good.

He felt there was absolutely no need to create fairness.

"That makes some sense."

"I think that's fine too. Our goal for this episode was to boost ratings and create a ratings phenomenon this year, so we definitely need to create some highlights."

Everyone, I think we should stop pushing those other people and just think of someone suitable!

After that conversation...

The initial plan to use "one of our own" instantly cooled down.

This episode was very popular.

However, randomly hiring people could actually harm the interests of the entire television station.

Why don't we think of a suitable candidate?

If you choose a woman to assign to the White Night team.

Upon closer reflection, they suddenly had someone in mind.

"Song Huiqiao?"

The name of this person basically appeared in everyone's mind.

On one hand, she was once very popular, and with the drama "Full House", Song Hye-kyo was a household name across the country.

Moreover, there are plenty of available slots right now.

From this perspective, selecting people to join Bai Ye's team seems like a good choice.

And just recently, she won the Best Acting Award at the 12th South Korean Women in Film Awards for her role in a drama film.

At this time, she was at the height of her fame.

"Then I'll contact her agent and see!"

Once everyone had made up their minds, they agreed.

Ultimately, they decided to contact Song Huiqiao.

When Song Hye-kyo's agent received the call from SBS, she was still a little confused.

After all, who will be the guests on this variety show?

That's the hottest person in all of Asia right now!

There's actually a chance for Song Hye-kyo to get a share of the profits?!
However, she didn't rush into agreeing; she needed to ask Song Huiqiao's opinion first.

Although South Korean celebrities don't have particularly high status, they are still idols.

Actors have a high status, and actresses like Song Hye-kyo, who are already very popular and have unlimited potential, are especially important for agents to promote.

After hanging up with SBS, she immediately dialed Song Hye-kyo's number.

After the call connected, Song Huiqiao dried her hair and asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong?! It's so late."

Song Huiqiao had just finished showering and was getting ready for bed.

Then I saw a call from the agent.

It's so late, and the other party is calling, so it's most likely about work.

Of course, if I see it, I should accept it.

After listening to Song Hye-kyo's words, her manager then repeated to her what SBS had told her.

When I learned from my agent that I had been invited to participate in Running Man.

She actually wanted to refuse.

I currently have no plans to participate in variety shows.

For actors, variety shows are like fast food.

The recording time is very short, basically only one day is needed.

Appearing on popular variety shows can definitely boost your popularity.

This has become a common tactic for many celebrities, but regardless of the country's entertainment industry, variety show personalities are always considered to have a lower status than actors.

If her popularity is currently low, she will consider appearing on variety shows.

But she's still quite popular.

However, upon hearing who was going to participate, Song Huiqiao looked surprised and incredulous, and asked again, "Is it really Bai Yexi?!"

"Yes! SBS has confirmed with me that the recording will be tomorrow. If we go, we need to give them an answer tonight!"

The agent confirmed this again.

The person must be Bai Ye.

Otherwise, if Song Huiqiao had gone to the scene, she could have just left without Bai Ye present.

That would be a slap in the face for SBS, a TV station with no reason to do it, especially since the news of Baek-yeol's visit to South Korea is already trending.

That person is already here, and they were invited by SBS.

Of course, the other party would not lie.

"go with!"

Song Huiqiao made a decisive decision.

"Okay, I'll go talk to them about it now!"

The agent, of course, suggested that I go.

However, Song Huiqiao had already given him the answer he wanted.

Of course, she couldn't refuse. After hanging up the phone, she went to notify SBS. The specific details would be discussed tonight.

Song Huiqiao, on the other hand, was also feeling a bit expectant. Her reason for participating in Running Man was to see Bai Ye.

After "My Love from the Star" aired, Song Hye-kyo watched past episodes of "My Love from the Star".

After reading it, Song Huiqiao realized that Bai Ye was really not simple.

His acting skills are really good.

And he's quite handsome.

It has to be said that she actually quite likes handsome men and really wants to meet Bai Ye in person.

Is Bai Ye as handsome as he appears on TV?

Especially her ancient style of dress, which is exactly what Qiao Mei likes.

Besides, Bai Ye has already gone, so if I go myself, I won't be at a disadvantage, right?

It's really not a big deal to occasionally appear on a variety show!

On the set of Running Man.

On that day, the seven regular guests—Yoo Jae-seok, Nose Uncle, Kim Jung-kook, Haha, Song Ji-hyo, Gary, and Lee Kwang-soo—endured the biting river wind at the recording site.

The program has already started recording.

Yoo Jae-seok looked at the camera with a complaining expression and said, "Director, are there only seven of us today?! Aren't we going to start yet?"

"That's right! They didn't say there would be any guests today!"

"If we have any guests, we have to show them how capable we are, that they actually made us wait so long!"

The Running Man members have only been filming together for a short time.

They already have a very good understanding of each other, and this understanding is reflected in the ratings of Running Man.

The original seven members were not them; there were member departures and other events along the way.

In the end, it became seven of them, and the seven of them had a very high level of teamwork.

In a few words, they quickly brought up the topic.

They all adopted an attitude that they were going to make the guests look bad later.

How could they not know who the guests were this time?!

When the seven of them found out who the visitors were, they were incredibly excited.

Running Man already has high viewership ratings, and this episode they filmed is likely to be the highest-rated episode of the season.

Moreover, this program is quite ambitious.

Even though their ratings are high now, they want them to be even higher!
The director then jokingly interjected, "Really?! You want the guests to get what's coming to them?!"

"Of course, whoever it is, we'll make them pay!!!"

Lee Kwang-soo then began to set his own goals.

He's always been the one saying these things on the show.

Then you'll be proven wrong.

The director, seeing that the time was right, then announced the arrival of the guests.

The first one to appear was Song Huiqiao. When Song Huiqiao appeared, Haha immediately said, "Wow! She's actually a beauty!"
Am I teaming up with Song Hye-kyo today?! Lee Kwang-soo definitely has no chance, right?!

Uncle Nose chimed in, "Are there any other beauties?! Does everyone have a female guest?!"

A group of people immediately started to jeer, but Li Guangzhu only looked like he was in a lot of pain.

They all pretended not to know the guests.

When the director announced the next group of guests, "Let's welcome the superstar from China, the most handsome alien in Asia, Professor Bai Ye, and the superstar Yang Mi!!"

As soon as the director's voice faded, Bai Ye pulled Yang Mi out from behind the stage.

Upon seeing Bai Ye and Yang Mi appear, Liu Zaishi immediately exclaimed dramatically, "This has nothing to do with us. If you have any questions about Li Guangzhu's actions, please go to Li Guangzhu!"
I just fell asleep and didn't say a word. Director, please remember to cut out what I said!

"And me! That's my idol, Professor Bai!!!"

"Aish!!! Professor Bai!!!"

They all feigned surprise and exaggerated expressions. Kim Jung-gook, standing next to Lee Kwang-soo, even grabbed her and said, "Kwang-soo, are you ready to shut down your social media accounts?!"

"Oh no!!!!"

Li Guangzhu clutched his head and wailed in anguish.

The director watched on the monitor, feeling extremely satisfied; the program's effect was off the charts.

"Annyeonghaseyo~"

"Hello."

Baek Ye spoke Korean, while Yoo Jae-seok spoke Chinese.

I know how to say something simple like a greeting.

After the banter, the two sides greeted each other.

When it comes to the White Night, the regular hosts of Running Man all adopt a very humble attitude.

It's not just because variety show personalities don't have a high status in China, but also because Bai Ye's popularity is just too high.

If this offends Bai Ye, he'll probably be torn to pieces by South Korean fans.

If we're talking about whose fans are the most outrageous right now, believe it or not, it's Bai Ye!

Although Bai Ye is not from South Korea, she has a group of very enthusiastic fans in South Korea.

Especially during the My Love from the Star craze.

"So handsome~"

Song Huiqiao looked at Bai Ye with sparkling eyes, and she had a new evaluation of Bai Ye in her heart.

How can there be such a handsome male celebrity?!

And it doesn't even look like any surgery has been performed?!
I've seen what Bai Ye looked like when she debuted, and she's not much different from now. She looked a little more green back then.

Now that it's fully open and has received many boosts in terms of keywords, it definitely looks much cooler.

"Director, are we in a team?! Am I in a team with Bai Ye oppa?! Right?!?"

Song Ji-hyo said, then looked at the director with an annoyed expression and continued, "Director, you should have told me earlier that it was Bai Ye oppa!"
Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here with no makeup. I definitely would have worn makeup! Ugh!!! Director, you made me miss out on love!!!

Song Ji-hyo looked like he was complaining, and Yoo Jae-seok next to him started joking around. Then the translator translated Song Ji-hyo's words to Baek Ye through the earpiece.

"Huh? I thought Ms. Zhixiao was wearing makeup. You look this good even without makeup."

After Bai Ye finished speaking, Yang Mi, who was standing next to him, gave him a strange look. Although she knew it was for the sake of the show, she thought, "You have such a big mouth."

Why isn't being with myself as sweet as it used to be?!

Meanwhile, the translator relayed this message to Song Ji-hyo and the other members.

Everyone immediately looked at Song Ji-hyo with gossipy expressions, and then looked at Gary with sympathy.

Lee Kwang-soo went even further, saying, "Gary, it looks like the Monday Couple is going to break up. But then again, if I were a girl, I'd like Professor Baek too!"

"Damn it!! Lee Kwang-soo, you bastard!!!"

Gary looked completely distraught, then stared at Song Ji-hyo with a pained expression, looking exactly like a heartbroken person who had just been dumped.

"Ji-hyo, aren't you going to look at the Wailing-for-Wife Stone?! Look at Gary like this!!!"

Liu Zaishi also made a joke from the side.

Song Zhixiao looked over, then at Bai Ye, and said, "Professor Bai! Right now, the person everyone in South Korea wants to marry is Professor Bai!"

"Who is Gary?! I've never heard of him!!"

Gary's performance was a complete failure!!

The director has already figured out how to edit it in post-production.

The show was amazing from the very beginning!

The director is increasingly looking forward to seeing what kind of effect the show will have in the future.

But now it was his turn to step in and take control of the situation.

He cleared his throat and continued, "Today is the Running Man My Love from the Star special, and we will be splitting the team into two teams."

One is an alien team, and the other is a human team.

This time, the content is also related to superpowers.

So, let's start by talking about the group assignments!!!

After the director finished speaking, he glanced at everyone present and paused deliberately.

Now we just wait for them to speak.

Grouping is also an interesting part.
