Huayu: We're asking you to act, and you're playing a superhuman?

Many years ago, Hunan TV launched an outdoor reality show called "Transformation".

Many of the famous jokes from this variety show will be revived many years later, and many of the young protagonists who appeared on the show said that the content they recorded back then was scripted.

Therefore, variety shows are scripted, and Running Man is no exception.

Before the official recording began, Wang Weili went to a meeting with the director team along with the other six hosts.

It was called a meeting, but it was actually just an explanation to each person about the character they were playing in the variety show.

As a veteran actor, Deng Chao has both popularity and star power, so he rightfully earned the role of captain of Running Man.

Wang Weili is a rising star and program producer. His persona is that of a gaming expert, while also trying to create a romantic pairing with Liu Shishi.

Upon learning of his assigned task, Wang Weili turned to look at Liu Shishi and found her pursing her lips, trying to suppress a smile, her eyebrows trembling slightly.

It seems the little lion is quite happy with this arrangement...

The other four characters are similar to those in the original Running Man, playing supporting roles with less screen time.

With their respective personas arranged, the remaining guests for this episode are: Dou Xiao and Ma Su, as well as the charismatic Kim Jong-kook!

The first episode of Running Man was filmed during the day, and the games were mostly used to keep viewers watching and relax. What really made this variety show different was the name tag ripping battle at night.

……

"Li Chen, out!"

Upon hearing the announcement, Wang Weili turned to look at Liu Shishi, who immediately understood and hugged the box given to her by the production team.

Liu Shishi looked around warily and whispered, "Li Chen is so strong, yet he was the first one to be torn apart."

"The bell-ringer might be even stronger than him..."

Wang Weili glanced thoughtfully downstairs, where he could faintly hear the sound of bells.

Liu Shishi took the initiative to approach: "If I were to run into the bell-ringer, wouldn't I be torn to pieces in an instant?"

"That's not necessarily true. Isn't that how it always goes in TV dramas? Often, the most unexpected person defeats the final boss..."

A series of clear bell sounds suddenly rang out, interrupting Wang Weili's words.

Liu Shishi hugged the box tightly, anxious to run away, but he grabbed her wrist.

"Don't be afraid, they're downstairs."

These words gave Liu Shishi tremendous psychological support, and then she saw Wang Weili come to the railing and look downstairs.

Liu Shishi slowly leaned over and pressed herself against Wang Weili, looking down at him.

This action was precisely captured by the camera, and with the addition of special effects and background music in post-production, it was considered a sweet moment from the production team.

Meanwhile, another camera followed the two people's gaze to film the scene downstairs.

Kim Jong-kook, as strong as an ox and dressed in all black, slowly approached Chen He, cornering him in a blind spot.

Compared to Kim Jong-kook, Chen He's not-so-thin build looked like a stalk of straw in a field—powerless and screaming—as he was pounced on and torn apart by Kim Jong-kook...

"Chen He, out!"

The program crew's announcements sounded like death counts, calling out whoever was called and they were forced to quit.

Liu Shishi subconsciously moved closer to Wang Weili, hoping to find some sense of security with him.

Wang Weili leaned on the railing, watching Kim Jong-kook go to find his next target, and began to replay in his mind the scene of Chen He being torn apart.

However, in the footage of his replay, Kim Jong-kook became the weak, powerless object to be manipulated at will...

"Um?"

Feeling the sudden warmth on his arm, Wang Weili turned to look at Liu Shishi.

Liu Shishi was already pressed against him, her hands still tightly hugging the box containing the restraint props.

This pose is a bit too intimate.

If Liu Shishi were to appear on television in the future, she would probably be torn apart by Wang Weili's fans... Fortunately, Wang Weili has the final editing rights to the program, and Little Lion has avoided the possibility of being cyberbullied.

While the two were upstairs, the loudspeaker announced that Ma Su, Dou Xiao, Wang Baoqiang, and Wang Zulan had all been eliminated.

Seeing that only three members of the Running Man team remained, the production team quickly made a hand gesture to Wang Weili.

After seeing this, Wang Weili said to Liu Shishi, "Shishi, find a place to hide first, I'll go find Deng Chao."

"Why are you looking for him?"

"Let's team up with him to take down Kim Jong-kook!"

"Then be careful."

Liu Shishi also thought of the variety show script that had been arranged in advance.

Variety show scripts are actually quite different from movie scripts. The latter requires actors to perform the entire content according to the script, while the former gives a general direction and allows the MCs to improvise.

Because outdoor reality shows have too many uncontrollable factors, the production team can't make too many demands.

Just like today's recording, the original script was for Wang Weili to go to Deng Chao and the two of them to team up against Kim Jong-kook.

However, quite "unfortunately," after Wang Weili separated from Liu Shishi, he seemed to know where Kim Jong-kook was and ran straight towards him.

Go up one flight of stairs, turn around, and there Kim Jong-kook appears in the hallway.

The photographer chased after him with his camera, but he couldn't shake him off.

By the time they finally climbed up, panting, and found Wang Weili and Kim Jong-kook had run head-on together, it was too late.

Kim Jong-kook tilted his head and looked at Wang Wei-li, who had suddenly appeared, thinking to himself, "That's not how the production team planned it, is it? Did they change the plan at the last minute?"

Hello, good evening.

Wang Wei greeted everyone in English, his smiling face showing he wasn't nervous at all.

Seeing his reaction, Kim Jong-kook became even more certain that the production team had made last-minute changes to the script. He then smiled, greeted him, and stepped forward, ready to tear up another one.

"Good job!"

The bells jingled with his footsteps.

Kim Jong-kook spread his arms wide, preventing Wang Wei-li from escaping.

Wang Weili didn't want to run away; instead, he walked towards her, which secretly pleased Kim Jong-kook.

Just as he got into position, locked onto his target, and lunged forward with a smile, Wang Weili suddenly reached out and grabbed his shoulder.

Kim Jong-kook's body jolted, his feet felt like they were stuck in a cement floor, and his shoulders felt like they were fighting against a wall, unable to budge.

"Sizzle~"

Kim Jong-kook felt a tug on his back, and the black name tag with his name on it was handed to Wang Wei-li.

After weighing the name tag in his hand a couple of times, Wang Weili said listlessly, "Is that all?"

Kim Jong-kook was stunned, and so was the production team.

Physically, Kim Jong-kook, at 178cm, is indeed shorter than Wang Wei-li, who is 185cm, but the muscles bulging under his T-shirt are more than a size larger than Wang Wei-li's.

How could two people with such a significant size difference have such a reversed result in the name tag ripping game?

Kim Jong-kook, are you putting on an act? Why didn't you use your shoulder to push Wang Wei-li's hand away just now?

The director from South Korea cursed Kim Jong-kook in his heart while pondering how to keep the show going.

After discussion, the South Korean director decided: the previous scene doesn't count, the name tag will be returned to Kim Jong-kook, and a new scene of him and Wang Weili tearing off name tags will be filmed!

Anyway, the show has a script, and it can be edited in post-production.

Since Wang Weili is capable of going head-to-head with Kim Jong-kook in a 1v1 match, the production team wouldn't mind making the show even more entertaining.

Wang Weili said he didn't care, and that it would be the same no matter how many times this happened!
