Top Chinese entertainment stars start with lucky koi fish

Chapter 88 Recorded in Brother Jiang's Account

He replaced Zheng Kai, who was originally positioned as the speedster.

Although it's quite absurd, this was indeed the initial positioning of the show, corresponding to Gary from the Korean running show.

Jiang Yuan wondered if he would still be given this role now that it was his turn.

However, he was indeed quite fast. After all, when he was a reporter, it was often too dangerous. He was always carrying a camera and running wildly through the chaos of war.

"Xiao Yuan, your role should be Song Zhongji, right?"

Yang Ying tapped her knuckles lightly on the table, guessing.

Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow. Didn't Yang Ying know that you shouldn't talk about chickens?

And it sounds very familiar; I've been in the same embarrassing situation before.

It seems to be the female lead from the drama "Left Ear". She also experienced this situation when she appeared on the first season of the reality show "Back to Field" after her debut.

Chen Duling, causing chaos and unrest —

Jiang Yuan plans to give this girl a lesson if he has the chance in the future.

A quick glance revealed Deng Chao and Chen He, two quick-witted idiots, trying to suppress their laughter.

Before anyone could react, Jiang Yuan changed the subject: "So, what's Song Zhongji's role?"

When Yang Ying heard Jiang Yuan ask her, she tilted her head and said, "What are the roles of the pretty boy maknae and the academic genius?"

"What does 'maknae' mean? Is it a new term?" Wang Baoqiang wondered. "It's the youngest member of the group," Yang Ying explained.

Deng laughed and said, "Isn't this our Brother Jiang? The only maknae born in the 90s, and needless to say, a top student who got into Peking University through the national college entrance examination. A pretty boy, I've been in the industry for so many years and I've never seen anyone better than him. But he can't really be called a pretty boy, he's more like handsome and dashing, but that's not the popular way to describe young people these days."

Yang Ying nodded hurriedly, agreeing, "I also think that pretty boys are too effeminate, while Xiao Yuan is indeed generous, heroic, and handsome."

Seeing that the two seemed determined to continue their conversation about him, Jiang Yuan quickly stopped them: "Alright, Sister Baby, Brother Chao, if you keep praising him, Director Lu will be drinking tea and listening to music."

Lu Hao waved the draft in his hand and laughed, "Yeah, it's pretty much what Baby said. That's Jiang Ge's positioning."

Jiang Yuan nodded, not surprised.

Because Lu Han joined in the third season, he took over part of Song Joong-ki's handsome youngest member persona, and the academic genius persona couldn't be added.

Actually, because Han's persona was too complex, the Running Man cast initially tried to emulate it as much as possible.

Later, each member gradually developed their own style.

The initial character settings were already quite vague, and adjustments were made based on the broadcast results after recording, adapting to local conditions and being discarded at will.

Don't take it too seriously.

After speaking about Jiang Yuan, Lu Hao finally turned his gaze to Yang Ying, the only girl present.

Actually, Han Pao was originally part of the men's group, and after recording more than ten episodes, female regular Song Ji-hyo joined.

The addition of a female member proved effective, so Zhejiang TV, taking a cautious approach, decided to invite a female member as part of its plan even before the project was officially launched.

"Baby is the only female regular, a natural ACE, a goddess without makeup, and she also bears a great responsibility."

Lu Hao said, "So Baby needs to show the resilience of women as much as possible to win the audience's favor. Of course, we can only take it slowly and there's no need to rush."

Jiang Yuan understood from Lu Hao's slightly troubled expression that he was afraid of setting too high a goal for Yang Ying, which she couldn't achieve.

What does ACE mean? It represents strength, relying on hard power rather than coquetry.

She is neither weak nor delicate; she can team up with male members despite being a girl, and her strength in competitions is no less than that of the male members.

But at its core, Running Man is an outdoor reality show, and the name tag ripping and various games also test physical strength.

Women's bodies are inherently limited compared to men's.

Therefore, this will test the female members' intelligence and on-the-spot reaction.

But how should I put it?

Yang Ying works very hard and is indeed not spoiled, but her intelligence cannot make up for it.

Therefore, netizens commented that she tried to learn from Song Ji-hyo but failed, only managing to grasp the essence of a tomboy.

This is not easy to learn in the first place, and when a girl who replaced Yang Ying in Running Man tried to emulate the tomboy persona, she went even further.

In fact, Yang Ying is not without merits. She cleverly plays to her strengths and avoids her weaknesses, and her "natural beauty goddess" persona is quite remarkable, even surpassing her predecessors.

"Okay, Director Lu, I'll do whatever the production team says and do my best," Yang Ying agreed.

"Everyone's role is also vague, and the specific recording method will still need to be changed at any time based on the program's effect, so there's no need to worry."

After Lu Hao finished speaking, he glanced at the Monday Couple location on the A4 paper in his hand.

They were unsure of Jiang Yuan's attitude, whether she was willing to create a romantic pairing.

This is the work experience of the staff sent by the Korean Running Man program team to provide guidance.

Lu Hao also felt that this approach had great potential. After all, there was no complete marketing process for shipping couples in China, let alone the industrialized level of creating couples like in Korean variety shows.

If they could be made, they would be the first variety show couple in the Chinese entertainment industry.

If it works well, it might boost the show's popularity and create an unprecedented peak in CP (couple pairing) popularity.

If it were someone else, the production team would edit in the footage to create a couple without even asking, just to make them look like a pair.

This sense of chemistry between them isn't really that mysterious.

For example, their eye contact might not even be made, they might just glance casually into the distance.

But through editing, they can all be made into sweet eye contact, paired with background music and pink filters, forcibly spreading sweetness.

It's so easy to edit together a couple's vibe.

But the key point is that these are not just anyone; the only couple that can be paired up is Jiang Yuan and Yang Ying.

Jiang Yuan goes without saying; her stunning looks are undeniable. Lu Hao felt that no matter how the show was edited, it was somehow surreal.

Yang Ying is also very beautiful. The reason why her relationship with Huang Xiaoming generated so much buzz is largely because her stunning looks have won her a lot of fans.

He then became a fan and started arguing with Huang Xiaoming's fans.

One side says the failed model is trying to ride on Huang Xiaoming's popularity, while the other side says it's a waste of talent and that Huang Xiaoming is too greasy.

They sprayed each other, making it even hotter.

Lu Hao couldn't even imagine how many fans and buzz these two golden couples would attract if they were cut into a couple.

But the reality is harsh.

If it were just Yang Ying, even if she had Huang Xiaoming as her backer, Zhejiang TV wouldn't take it seriously. They could just let the CP (couple pairing) frenzy blow it out. Maybe Yang Ying herself would be willing to do it for the sake of popularity.

The problem is that there's also Jiang Yuan. Jiang Yuan has been repeatedly told by his station not to engage in any underhanded tactics and to respect them.

Lu Hao felt that if he forced Jiang Yuan to do something, he might be fired by the station before the show even aired.

Thinking about this, Lu Hao decided not to act recklessly and would not discuss it in the meeting room, but would first ask Jiang Yuan for her opinion in private.

Next, Lu Hao talked about the self-recorded program, then clapped his hands and dismissed the group.

"Everyone, go back and rest for a bit. We'll record a short introduction tonight, and the official recording will be tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Deng Chao slapped the table to attract everyone's attention, then looked around and said, "Many of you are meeting for the first time. Since we have filming tonight, we won't have a dinner party. But for easier communication, I, as the team leader, will create a group chat so everyone has a place to connect, okay?"

"Sure, Brother Chao's opinion is correct." Wang Zulan took out his phone and laughed, "Although I'm from Hong Kong, I also use QQ."

of. "

"Wu Lan, I created a WeChat group."

"What? WeChat?"

Wang Zulan widened his eyes dramatically, then grinned, "That person also has WeChat."

The contrasting scene amused everyone, and they all took out their phones.

Yang Ying warmly moved closer to Jiang Yuan and whispered, "Can we add each other on WeChat? There should still be some friend slots left, right?"

Jiang Yuan, not wanting to offend someone who was smiling, nodded and said, "Just add me when you join the group later."

"Okay, I'll add you then."

Yang Ying's eyebrows twitched slightly, her eyes lowered, and she glanced casually at Jiang Yuan's striking and superior facial features, without saying anything more.

Instead, he moved the chair back slightly to make room to lean against it, and stared at the back of Jiang Yuan's head.

Jiang Yuan was unaware of Yang Ying's actions. Seeing Deng Chao fiddling with his phone, tapping and clicking, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Chao, weren't you going to create a group chat? What are you doing?"

Deng Chao turned to look at Jiang Yuan and said solemnly, "I forgot something important."

"for example?"

For example, I don't know how to create groups.

Jiang Yuan fell silent for a moment.

Deng Chao seemed to be a complete idiot when it came to electronics, but he later learned how to scan shared bikes and was able to show off to his friends.

The others burst out laughing upon hearing this.

"Holy crap, is Chao Ge for real?"

Chen He, having figured out Deng Chao's easygoing and humorous nature, slammed his fist on the table and burst into laughter, exclaiming, "Is this the suffering of the elderly?"

"What are you doing? Is Chao-ge okay? If not, I'll do it."

Wang Baoqiang looked disgusted, then wiped the phone screen with his clothes and started operating it.

After waiting for a while, everyone saw him look up and give an awkward smile: "I don't think I can do it either—"

"cut."

Deng Chao retorted disdainfully, "I thought you were so capable, Baoqiang, but it turns out you're just as good as me."

"Haha." Chen He's signature loud laughter continued.

Jiang Yuan looked at Li Cheng with a serious expression: "Brother Chen, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Li Cheng scratched his head, confused.

"Can you?"

"No," Li Cheng quickly shook his head.

"very good."

Jiang Yuan pushed back in her chair, leaned back, and said seriously, "This at least proves that all of our group members are ambitious young people who don't play on their phones."

"Baby, why don't you create a group chat?"

Jiang Yuan casually said to Yang Ying, who was standing next to him.

"Why wasn't it you who came?" Yang Ying couldn't help but chuckle.

"I didn't bring my phone with me at all."

Jiang Yuan gestured to his empty pocket, explaining that he had left his phone with Yang Chaoyue.

On the way here, Jiang Yuan let Yang Chaoyue play a running game on his phone.

Chaoyue has her own phone but still likes to play with it, so Jiang Yuan decided to let her use it to earn diamonds.

"Did Brother Jiang not bring it, or does he not know how to use it?" Chen He asked with a smile.

"Brother He, you're right," Jiang Yuan said seriously. "I really didn't have any experience; it was all other people adding me and inviting me."

"That means you won't." Yang Ying smiled. "Looks like I'll have to step in."

"Women are reliable," Wang Zulan said, glancing at Deng Chao.

"Zu Lan, you've really hurt me." Deng Chao was deeply hurt.

The group laughed again.

"Four passwords are required to create a face-to-face group chat."

Yang Ying tapped the screen, then turned to Jiang Yuan beside her and asked, "What are we using?"

"4399, please."

"Is there any explanation?"

"Yes, there is a small game website called 4399, which is a part of many people's childhood."

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he helped Deng Chao and the others to create a face-to-face group, enter the password, and join the group.

After she sat back down, Yang Ying handed her her phone: "Enter your number yourself, and I'll add you. When you get your phone, just agree to it, and I'll add you to the group."

Jiang Yuan didn't refuse, took the phone, and entered her WeChat ID.

Once the group is set up.

Lu Hao, who had been standing to the side, suddenly spoke up to everyone: "That segment can also be added to the beginning of our show or to the behind-the-scenes footage. It would be perfect for the members to meet. If no one has any objections..."

Jiang Yuan was stunned. She glanced at the ceiling and noticed the security camera.

"Director Lu, that's not very kind of you. You didn't even tell us."

Deng chuckled and complained, but was very cooperative, "I have no objection, but if you take a bad picture of me, you can't post it."

Chen He waved at the camera, saying, "We weren't acting; we were just interacting privately."

"I'm thirty years old, it's not surprising that I don't know how to create a group chat," Wang Baoqiang argued in front of the camera.

"I'm thirty-six, older than Deng Chao," Li Cheng said.

"We're talking about the same thing at thirty, thirty-four is the same." Wang Zulan waved generously.

Chen He chuckled: "I'm twenty-nine. You thirty-year-old folks aren't allowed to take me with you."

Jiang Yuan didn't join the age discussion. Not to mention him, even Mo Tong, who is a year older than him, is the youngest here.

Yang Ying recalled the previous figures, spread her hands towards Jiang Yuan, and smiled, "Let's settle the GG fee. The 4399 mini-game website just got some publicity."

"Aren't you promoting it now too?"

Jiang Yuan complained, "Besides, Baby, you get a commission, right? You even asked me for a 'GG fee' on behalf of the production team."

"That makes sense."

Yang Ying crossed her arms, pondered for a moment, and then said to Lu Hao off-camera, "Director Lu, remember to write down my commission."

Seeing everyone's reaction, Lu Hao figured they weren't opposed to using this as material, and laughed, "That depends on when Brother Jiang gives GG the fee."

Yang Ying nodded, turned around, patted Jiang Yuan on the shoulder, and smiled broadly: "The entire bill is on Mr. Yuan. Remember to pay, Mr. Yuan, I'm waiting for my GG fee to buy a pretty little dress."

"Promoting childhood memories comes at a price, you know," Yang Ying said with a playful smile.

"Sure, I'll deduct it from my appearance fee then."

Jiang Yuan didn't care, and then said seriously, "Actually, my childhood was about card-operated game controllers. 4399 is the childhood of a post-00s girl like me."

Jiang Yuan was referring to Tian Xiwei's younger sister, Xiao He. Several times when he called Tian Xiwei, Xiao He would mention to him how she played 4399 Ice and Fire Man with her sister.

Although Xiaohe was born in 05, she wasn't used to such a detailed classification at that time, and those born in 95 were basically considered part of the 90s generation.

Yang Ying smiled and spread her hands in front of the camera: "Then Mr. Yuan's consumption today will be paid for by the post-00s generation who played 4399 in their childhood because of the promotion ten years from now."

"Then put it on my tab."

Jiang Yuan took a sip of water and said, "The show might not even exist in ten years."

Lu Hao smiled wryly: "Brother Jiang, our show hasn't aired yet, so we won't charge you the cancellation fee."

"No way, Director Lu, put it on Brother Jiang's tab," Deng joked.

Chen He and the others laughed again.

"He was just saying that, Director Lu."

Yang Ying rubbed her slightly sore neck. "Ten years from now, I might be gone, but your show will still be around."

Jiang Yuan's gaze turned strange.

Yang Ying's bold statement is quite audacious.

Ten years later, you were indeed gone.
