Rebirth 09: Starting from taking charge of Running Man on CCTV

Chapter 50: Clues in hand, but where is the medal?

Chen Yang added a sentence.

"Legitimate confrontation, the result is valid."

Chen He opened his mouth, then closed it again.

He turned and glanced at Deng Chao.

Deng Chao raised his chin at him, a standard smug smile on his lips.

Chen He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

"OK."

"I admit it."

He opened his eyes and pointed at Deng Chao.

"But Deng Chao, you'll see about the second hurdle."

Deng waved his hand.

"I'm available anytime."

The green team members leaned back, each with their own expression.

Zheng Kai patted Chen He on the back.

"Alright, Hehe, stop fooling around. We'll win the next round."

Li Chen nodded.

"Um."

Shen Teng thought for a moment, then became serious for a rare second.

"Hehe, actually you ran quite well, it's just that your mentality collapsed."

Chen He looked at him, somewhat surprised.

"Brother Teng, is this the first time you've praised me?"

Shen Teng remained expressionless.

"And this is the last time."

Chen He: "..."

The green team members burst into laughter.

Chen Yang made the scene a little lively for a while, then picked up the megaphone.

"Alright, everyone, pay attention."

"The red team has won the first round and, according to the rules, has obtained the first clue."

He waved to the person behind him.

Zhang Lei walked up holding a dark blue envelope.

The envelope had the program's logo printed on it, and the number "001" was embossed in gold in the lower right corner.

Deng Chao's eyes lit up immediately.

"We've found a clue!"

He quickly stepped forward and took the envelope.

Liu Xiang, Angelababy, and Wang Baoqiang immediately surrounded them.

Four heads huddled together.

Deng Chao opened the envelope and pulled out a folded piece of paper.

Unfold.

It is a floor plan of the Bird's Nest.

The map clearly marks the various areas inside the stadium: entrance passages, seating areas, main field, and backup corridors. The lines are so fine that it looks like it was copied from architectural drawings.

A five-pointed star was drawn in red on the picture and marked at a certain location inside the Bird's Nest.

Deng Chao was stunned for a moment.

Then he realized something and looked up at Chen Yang.

"Is this... the map to the final treasure hunt?"

Chen Yang didn't say anything, he just looked at him and smiled.

Deng Chao looked down and examined it carefully for another two seconds.

"Holy crap!"

He suddenly clutched the map to his chest and glanced back in the direction of the green team.

Chen He craned his neck and strained to look this way.

Deng quickly pulled the four people aside and lowered his voice.

"Don't let them see! This is the location marked on it! That's definitely where the final medal is hidden! The medal is inside the Bird's Nest!"

Liu Xiang leaned over for a look, then nodded with a smile.

"I think I know where this place is!"

Wang Baoqiang peeked out and rubbed his hands together with delight.

"This is great! This is so useful! I'll head straight for it when the time comes!"

Baby glanced at the map, tilted her head, and thought for a moment.

"Isn't it a problem that you're telling us your location so easily?"

Deng thought for a moment, carefully folded the map, and put it into the pocket of his sports jacket.

"Keep it for now! We'll deal with any problems that arise later."

On the green team's side, Chen He was so anxious that he stomped his feet as he watched the four members of the red team huddled together and whispering.

"Brother Chen, what are they holding? I think it looks like a piece of paper."

Li Chen glanced at it but didn't say anything.

Zheng Kai frowned.

"It's probably some kind of clue like a map; they can't just tell them where the medal is right away!"

Shen Teng leaned against the side and spoke softly.

"So, you haven't realized how serious the problem is yet, have you?"

All three people looked at him at the same time.

Shen Teng said slowly.

"They have leads, we don't."

"For the next two challenges, we not only need to win, but we also need to gather enough information to catch up."

"Otherwise, during the final treasure hunt, they'll head straight for the target, while we'll be running around aimlessly."

Li Chen frowned.

"We must win the next round."

Shen Teng nodded.

"Yes. We must win."

He paused for a moment and glanced at Chen He.

"And I can't let people pull my pants down anymore."

Chen He suddenly gripped his belt tightly.

That's enough.

Chen Yang stood in front of the main recording console and glanced at the status of the two teams.

The Red Team's morale was high. Deng Chao put his arm around Wang Baoqiang's shoulder and kept muttering some tactics.

The green team looked serious, but they didn't break down. Li Chen's eyes, on the contrary, became even sharper.

The first test went even better than he had expected.

The comedic effect is there.

The competitive tension has been created.

The chemistry between the teams has been created.

Liu Xiang's highlight moment of reaching the top in fifteen seconds has arrived.

Chen He's famous scene of dying in the cactus society has been created.

The comedic effect comes from the contrast between Wang Baoqiang's transformation from mud into a muddy figure.

The genuine reactions of the onlookers were also captured on film.

The first stage alone can yield over forty minutes of high-quality footage.

enough.

He raised the loudspeaker.

"Alright, everyone."

All eight people turned to look at them.

"The first game is over."

He raised a hand, making a stop gesture.

"Hit the board."

A young man from the production crew ran up and slammed the clapperboard down with a "smack".

"The first episode of 'Run, China!' and the first game have been recorded."

All eight people breathed a sigh of relief.

Deng patted his leg and turned to look at the time.

A little after 11 a.m.

Chen Yang put down the loudspeaker and walked up to the eight people.

"Thank you all for your hard work in the first game, you all performed very well."

His tone shifted from director mode back to working communication mode, and he slowed down his speech.

"Next, I'll tell you about the arrangements for the rest of the time."

"The recording location for today's second game is the Water Cube."

Several people's eyes lit up at the same time.

Deng rubbed his hands together.

"The Water Cube? That place is huge, it looks fun."

Wang Baoqiang also became interested.

"Playing games inside the Water Cube? I could swim when I was a kid."

"But..." Chen Yang changed the subject. "The Water Cube is open to the public as usual, and there are a lot of tourists, so we can't go in to record during the day."

"You can only enter after the museum closes tonight."

Deng Chao was stunned for a moment.

"So what do we do during the day?"

Chen Yang glanced at his watch.

"It's a little past 11 o'clock now, and the production team has made a reservation at a restaurant next to the Bird's Nest."

"Let's go have lunch first."

As soon as those two words were uttered, Chen He was the first to raise his hand.

"Finally, we're getting to the point! I'm starving! I ran barefoot on the acupressure mat for ages, and then someone pulled down my pants. I desperately need food to soothe my wounded soul!"

Shen Teng slowly added a comment from the side.

"Pair it with a pair of cactus-patterned shorts."

"Shen Teng!"

The whole audience laughed again.

Chen Yang and the others continued only after their laughter subsided.

"After lunch, we will arrange for everyone to rest at the hotel in the afternoon."

"The production team booked rooms in the Asian Games Village, which is very close to the Water Cube."

"Everyone go back, take a shower, get some sleep, and recharge your energy."

"Meet at 7:30 pm, and enter the Water Cube at 8 pm to start the second recording session."

Deng nodded.

"Okay, that's well arranged."

Liu Xiang also said something with a smile.

"This afternoon is a good time to give my feet a rest."

Deng clapped his hands and called out to everyone.

"Let's go, let's go eat! The captain's treating!"

Chen He glared at him.

"What? You're treating?"

"Yes, the production team is like my family. It's no different from me treating them to a meal."

"The compensation for the emotional distress caused by those pants will be included in this meal."

Deng Chao thought about it.

"Okay, I'll give you an extra bowl of rice."

"Deng Chao!"

The eight people laughed and joked as they walked towards the south gate of the park.

Deng walked at the front, his arm around Wang Baoqiang's shoulder, still reviewing the match as he spoke.

Liu Xiang walked beside them, listening to the two chatting with a smile.

Baby jogged after him, her high ponytail swinging back and forth with each step.

Li Chen walked silently, occasionally nodding in response to Zheng Kai's chatter.

Shen Teng strolled leisurely at the back, hands in his pockets, squinting at the backs of the group of people in front of him.

Chen He was caught in the middle, his mouth never stopping.

"I'm telling you, I'm determined to win the second round."

"Deng Chao, you just wait."

Deng Chao turned around and smiled at him.

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Chen Yang stood at the entrance of the recording area, watching the eight people's figures gradually walk away.

Zhang Lei walked over to his side.

"Director Chen, the props team has started packing up. Qi Lei said they can finish in half an hour."

Chen Yang nodded.

"Have Lao Zhou bring a few cameramen to the dinner table. We won't officially record lunch, but we'll keep our cameras on so we can capture any good footage we come across."

"receive."

Chen Yang thought about it again.

"In the afternoon, let Zhao Bin lead the post-production team to do a rough screening of the footage from this morning and mark the timecodes of the famous scenes."

"The three key scenes—Liu Xiang's ascent, Wang Baoqiang's mud pit scene, and Chen He's pants scene—will be locked in first and processed in post-production editing."

Zhang Lei wrote them down one by one.

"besides."

Chen Yang glanced at the direction in which the onlookers were taking pictures in the distance.

"Tell Chen Xi to keep an eye on things online. There are quite a few onlookers today, and some people have taken photos and videos. I reckon they'll be uploading them to forums and online communities by the afternoon."

"If it exists, let it ferment naturally."

Zhang Lei was stunned for a moment.

"in spite of?"

Chen Yang's lips curved slightly.

"Free publicity, why should we care?"

After he finished speaking, he took one last look at the empty recording area.

Traces of mud from Wang Baoqiang's feet remain on the acupressure mat track.

The soapy water on the inflatable ramp glistened in the sunlight.

The golden bell swayed gently in the breeze.
