Chapter 117 Cactus Fire, Attracting Attention from Peers.
Chen Yang's phone vibrated again.
Chen Xi's second message.
The post "Wang Baoqiang Turns into a Mud Man" on the Tianya Entertainment Gossip forum reached 1500 replies in 20 minutes, becoming the number one trending post. The forum experienced lag, with refreshes taking over 5 seconds. The Weibo hashtag #RunForChina# surpassed 200 million views.
Chen Yang put his phone back in his pocket.
Then the second group... Liu Xiang vs. Li Chen.
The footage of Liu Xiang falling into the mud and then flipping out was clean and neat, like he was hurdling.
I added decorative text later... [Professional habit].
Then the soapy water slope.
Li Chen fell face-first onto the slope.
Liu Xiang reached the top in fifteen seconds.
Later, a stopwatch was added to capture the entire process of Liu Xiang's run-up and the ringing of the bell.
"15.3 seconds".
Large characters were displayed on the screen.
Standing at the bottom of the slope, Li Chen asked... "Did you cheat?"
Later, a question mark effect was added to him, with more and more question marks popping up from the top of his head.
In the suite.
When Li Chen saw the slow-motion replay of his "facepalm" moment, his ears turned red again.
"Why is this shot still kept?"
"How wonderful!"
Chen Yang answered crisply and decisively.
Shen Teng added from the side.
"Brother Chen, the way you fell was very graceful, like a butterfly fluttering at a lamp."
Li Chen glanced at him but didn't say anything.
But the corner of his mouth twitched.
Then......
Decisive game.
Deng Chao vs. Chen He.
The atmosphere in the suite suddenly became tense.
It wasn't because of the competition.
It's because everyone knows what will be broadcast next.
Chen He's expression changed.
He hugged the cushion to his chest and shrank deep into the sofa.
"Wait... are we really going to broadcast this? Director Chen, are you sure you blurred it out?"
Chen Yang took a sip of tea.
"I hit him."
"Is it well-prepared?"
"See for yourself."
On the screen, Deng Chao and Chen He simultaneously rushed onto the acupressure mat.
Later, the scene of the two hopping forward was accompanied by an absurdly cheerful polka.
The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, jumped and skipped, swinging their arms high in the air.
[Folk Art - Iron Plate Foot Dance]
Then ram the door.
Chen He chose a good road and laughed heartily.
Deng Chao has fallen into a quagmire.
Up to this point, it's still within the normal range.
Then... the slope.
Chen He grabbed the rope and climbed up.
Deng Chao caught up from behind.
A hand gripped Chen He's belt.
The scene is here...
It was cut into slow motion.
0.5 times faster.
It was accompanied by an opera aria that I don't know where it came from.
Deng Chao's hand slumped downwards.
Chen He's pants slipped down.
In slow motion, you can clearly see the changes in Chen He's facial expressions... from desperate struggle to confusion to fear to despair.
Then......
"Snapped!"
The pants came down.
Mosaic.
Huge mosaics that shimmer with holy light.
It covered Chen He's entire lower body.
but.
Through the gaps in the mosaic, one can vaguely see the sky-blue background and the outlines of several cacti.
An arrow was added next to the mosaic later.
The arrow points to the mosaic.
【Cactus - Limited Edition】
Then the scene cuts to the onlookers.
The old man's voice was clear and distinct...
"That young man's pants are gone!!"
The aria reaches its highest note at this moment.
Nationwide.
In front of all the television sets that still had CCTV's variety channel on.
Laughter, like a tsunami, swept across the entire land of China from south to north and from east to west.
In the suite.
Chen He buried his face in the cushions, curling himself up into a ball.
Her ears were so red they looked like they could bleed.
"I don't want to live anymore."
His voice was muffled.
"The whole country has seen my cactus."
Deng Chao laughed so hard he slid off the sofa and sat on the carpet, pounding the floor with his hands.
"Hehe...hahahaha...that mosaic...hahahaha...it was brilliantly added..."
Wang Baoqiang laughed so hard he lay down, his feet propped up on the coffee table.
"That opera score in post-production! It was so mean! Hahahaha!"
Zheng Kai clutched his stomach, bending over like a shrimp.
"A limited edition cactus! Who came up with that name?! That's so rude!"
Shen Teng leaned back on the sofa, his shoulders shaking with laughter.
For once, he laughed out loud.
"Hehe, you are now the most famous cactus in the country."
"Shut up, Teng-ge!"
Baby laughed until tears streamed down her face, and she quickly took out tissues from her bag.
She wiped away her tears and moved closer to Chen He, patting him on the back.
"Hehe, don't be sad, it's blurred out and hard to see..."
"Can't see clearly?!"
Chen He lifted his head from the cushion, his face full of accusation.
"That pixelation is so bad it's like they didn't even apply it! You can still see the outline of the cactus!"
He suddenly turned to Chen Yang.
"Director Chen! What kind of editing is this?!"
Chen Yang held his teacup, his expression calm and composed.
"I hit him."
"Then why can we still see cacti?!"
Chen Yang took a sip of tea.
"The degree of censorship is determined through professional evaluation."
He put down the cup.
"It protects privacy while preserving the comedic effect."
Chen He collapsed onto the sofa.
"You call this protecting privacy..."
Chen Yang's phone vibrated for the third time.
Information about Chen Xi.
He glanced at it and a smile crept onto his lips.
He handed the phone to Zhang Lei for a quick look.
After reading it, Zhang Lei gasped.
Weibo's real-time trending topics list.
#ChenHeCactus# Debuts at Third Place.
#RunningManChinaPremiere# First place.
#Liu Xiang tops the list in 15 seconds# Sixth place.
#Wang Baoqiang Clay Figurines# Ninth place.
The Baidu Tieba server experienced a second lag, and the administrator is urgently expanding its capacity.
Seven out of the top ten posts on the Tianya gossip forum are related to the show.
The word "cactus" scrolled across the screens of netizens nationwide.
......
At the same time.
Changsha.
Office of Hunan TV Variety Channel.
The lights were on.
The channel's deputy director sat at his desk, staring at the television in front of him.
The screen is showing a video of Deng Chao and Chen He pulling each other on a slope.
He watched the entire passage without moving.
Then I picked up the remote and pressed pause.
The office was quiet.
The head of the variety show department, who was sitting next to them, spoke up.
"This program..."
He carefully considered his words.
"It's completely different from what we're doing."
The deputy director remained silent.
He put down the remote control and picked up the cigarette pack on the table.
I pulled one out, but didn't light it.
"All outdoor scenes"
He said.
"Multi-camera follow-up shooting."
"Purely competitive match."
"Improvisational response".
There was no script.
He twirled the cigarette between his fingers.
"Our 'Happy Camp' has a fixed format in the studio, where guests come to chat and play games."
"They just throw celebrities outdoors, make them walk barefoot on acupressure mats, and make them fall into mud pits."
He paused for a moment.
"And the audience's reaction..."
He glanced at the refresh rate of posts on Tianya Forum on his computer screen.
"It's more explosive than any of our previous episodes."
The head of the variety show department remained silent for a few seconds.
"When did CCTV acquire this kind of production capability?"
The deputy director shook his head.
......
Hangzhou.
Zhejiang Blue TV.
The lights were also on in the variety show department office.
The three directors watched the first half of the show while sitting around a television.
"this……"
One of the young directors pushed up his glasses.
"If this model is validated, how will we implement our 'I Love Lyrics' program?"
No one answered.
Because they all know the answer.
It's impossible to win.
The tracks are different.
Macau.
The Presidential Suite at The Venetian.
The scene then cuts to mid-game GG.
Before GG, there was a 15-second preview of the second half.
The blue lights of the Water Cube.
Footsteps in the darkness.
A voice came through the walkie-talkie: "Target has appeared in the corridor of Sector B."
Then a scene of tearing off name tags flashed by.
Whose hand reached behind whose back?
The sound of a name tag being ripped off... "Hiss..."
The last scene.
Inside the Bird's Nest stadium.
The lights suddenly turned on.
Seven people stood in the center of the field.
Subtitle: [Don't go away: The second half is about to begin.]
In the suite.
All seven people's eyes lit up.
Deng rubbed his hands together.
"The second half will be at the Water Cube! Then it'll be the name tag ripping game!"
Wang Baoqiang rubbed his hands together.
"I did a great job at the Water Cube!"
Shen Teng spoke slowly.
"I only care about the part where my name tag was ripped off, and what kind of captions were added for me in post-production."
Chen He peeked half his head out from behind the cushion.
"Were there any worse moments for me in the second half?"
He looked at Chen Yang.
"Is there anything else?"
Chen Yang put down his teacup.
I glanced at him.
He didn't say anything.
But then the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.
Chen He buried his face back into the cushion.
"It's over."
"There must be more."
Chen Yang stood up and walked to the French windows.
The night view of Macau unfolds beneath your feet, neon lights shimmering.
On her phone, Chen Xi's fourth message had just arrived.
The hashtag #RunningManChinaPremiere# on Weibo garnered over 800 million views in just half an hour, breaking the record for the fastest single hashtag to reach 800 million views since Weibo's launch.
The Baidu Index for the keyword "Run, China!" surged by 4700% within 15 minutes.
The Baidu Tieba server is undergoing its third expansion.
A prominent social media influencer posted a comment.
"CCTV did the most incredible thing in the variety show industry in 2009 tonight."
