Chinese entertainment: What's wrong with actresses wanting to improve?

Chapter 383 Running Man Filming

October 25nd, 3 PM.

The employees of Chenxi Building had already gone home, leaving only the security team patrolling each floor.

Yellow police tape was set up around the building, and dozens of security personnel stood every five meters to keep fans and onlookers who had rushed to the scene outside the cordon.

At 6:30, the Running Man crew's convoy arrived.

Deng Chao was the first to jump out of the van, looking up at the magnificent Morning Light Building with his hands on his hips and a meaningful expression.

"I've been working here for so long, and this is the first time I've entered as a guest."

Huang Bo slapped him from behind.

"Alright, stop reminiscing."

Wang Baoqiang, Lei Jiayin, He Rundong, Liu Yan, Tang Yan, and Jiang Yan got out of the car one after another.

Everyone gathered.

"Here we go again."

He Rundong looked at the building with some emotion.

The last time I came here was to sign the contract for "The Legend of Chu and Han".

"Rundong, it's my turn to shine today."

I won't hold back.

Deng Chao smiled and put his arm around He Rundong's shoulder, giving him a "you just wait and see" look.

"Don't exaggerate, Rundong has gained muscle again for his role recently."

He's as strong as a tiger now.

You were already losing the fight, and now you're even less likely to succeed.

Huang Bo joked from the side, and even pressed down on He Rundong's thick arm.

"Yes, Brother Chao."

"Before, if we teamed up, we might have been able to take down Rundong, but now I feel like even teaming up won't work."

Lei Jiayin echoed this sentiment.

"You bunch of bastards!"

Deng Chao stood angrily with his hands on his hips, pointing at the crowd.

"They're already boosting the morale of others before the recording has even started!"

We'll see what the real deal is in the game later, and I'll show you what 'home advantage' really means!

"Brother Chao, I support you."

Wang Baoqiang grinned and patted Deng Chao on the back in a憨厚 (honest and simple) manner.

"Let's form an alliance and outsmart them!"

"Okay, okay."

The director clapped his hands, interrupting the group.

"Tonight's final activity is—hide-and-seek with name tag ripping."

As the director finished speaking, several security guards dressed in black suits and sunglasses walked out, their steps synchronized and their faces expressionless.

Deng Chao subconsciously took a step back, while Liu Yan and Tang Yan huddled together, their arms linked.

Without saying a word, the man in black tore off the name tags from the backs of all seven people.

The sound of name tags being torn apart was particularly jarring in the empty lobby. Tang Yan cried out when her name tag was torn, then looked on with a pitiful expression as the man in black took her name tag away.

"What do you mean?"

Deng Chao clutched his empty back.

"If you tear off our name tags, what are we supposed to tear off?"

The director picked up the megaphone and slowly explained the rules.

"Your name tags have been scattered and hidden in various corners of this building."

From now on, you need to go into the building and look for designer brands.

Once a name tag is found, the corresponding member will have it reattached, and will become eligible for elimination.

"The Morning Light Building has twenty-eight floors!"

Deng Chao counted on his fingers.

"The 28th floor! We'll have to find it by tomorrow morning!"

Clue cards were placed in advance within the venue, and the clue cards would indicate the location of the nameplates.

Meanwhile, each floor has set up several mini-game challenges, and completing the games can yield key clues.

Now, let the game begin!

As the game started, the crowd rushed into the building amidst cheers and shouts of encouragement from the fans.

"I'll try my luck on the 20th floor first."

Huang Bo entered the elevator and pressed the button for the 20th floor.

"Then I'll go to the 10th floor."

Wang Baoqiang pressed 10.

Lei Jiayin pressed the button for the 5th floor without hesitation.

He Rundong chose the 9th floor.

Tang Yan looked at Liu Yan and Jiang Yan and said, "I'm going to the 15th floor, what about you?"

"I'll go to the higher one."

Liu Yan pressed the button for the 18th floor.

"I'm going to the 12th floor."

Jiang Yan pressed the button for the 12th floor.

Deng Chao did not go upstairs immediately.

He stood next to the front desk in the lobby on the first floor, bent over and searched everywhere, including under the counter, behind the trash cans, and in the gaps between the plant pots.

The receptionist would clean the counter every day before leaving get off work. He searched for a long time and only found a sticky note with the words "Strive hard" written on it, which was the receptionist's own motto.

"There's nothing there?"

How come there's nothing on the first floor?

Undeterred, Deng Chao continued his search on the first floor.

Everyone arrived at their target floor and began the search.

After an unknown amount of time, Huang Bo searched up to the 26th floor.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, the scene that greeted Huang Bo made him want to turn around and leave.

On the floor of the multi-functional hall, a three-meter by three-meter acupressure mat had been laid out by the production team.

Huang Bo's legs went weak at the sight of those tough little bamboo shoots.

"This is terrible! Why is there a pressure point mat in the game?!"

Huang Bo went to the game area and asked the referee, "What game is this?"

"Jump rope on acupressure mat".

Jump rope continuously for twenty times on the acupressure mat without stopping. If you stop, start counting again.

Upon completion, you will obtain a crucial clue.

Twenty times!

"Has the production team gone mad?! People will die!"

Huang Bo groaned, but resignedly took off his shoes and carefully stepped onto the acupressure mat.

As soon as he stepped on it, a piercing pain shot from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head. He grimaced and jumped around a few times before he could barely get used to it.

He picked up the jump rope, took a deep breath, and began to count with difficulty.

Each jump was accompanied by an exaggerated scream, and he completely lost control of his facial expressions, causing the VJ filming him to suppress his laughter.
