Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 2 Running Man Gathering
……

……

As thoughts drifted,
The car slowly came to a stop in front of a luxury hotel.

At the hotel entrance,

Several crew members were standing to the side, their faces showing a hint of impatience, clearly having been waiting for some time.

however,
When Gu Qing's figure appeared in their sight, the fake smiles that hadn't even had time to appear on their faces instantly froze.

Sunlight shone on Gu Qing, bathing his skin in a soft glow, making it appear almost translucent and white.

"Turtle, is it really that pretty?"

One of the male staff members stared wide-eyed.

"He's not just good-looking, I've never seen this aloof and noble air about any male celebrity in the Chinese entertainment industry!!"

Another female staff member couldn't help but cover her mouth.

Gu Qing saw their figures in the sunlight, quickly walked over, and politely said, "Thank you for your hard work."

The staff members who came to pick up the car seemed flattered.

These days, the status enjoyed by young male celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry is one of being pampered and arrogant.

Forget thanking them privately; it would be considered good enough if they didn't complain or grumble about the hotel being too far away.

Unlike Gu Qing, who not only didn't put on airs, but also took the initiative to thank them.

"No, no trouble at all! You're too kind, Professor Gu!" A staff member quickly waved his hand, his face beaming with smiles. "It's our honor to have you participate in our program!"

Another staff member quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, Mr. Gu, you must be tired from your journey. Let us take you to your room to rest."

Gu Qing was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting such a warm response from her simple thanks.

He nodded and said softly, "Just call me Gu Qing, no need to add 'teacher'."

Several staff members immediately surrounded Gu Qing and led her into the hotel, their faces full of smiles.

As they walked, they secretly glanced at Gu Qing's profile, thinking to themselves, "He's so handsome... No wonder everyone online calls him a 'god-like face,' he truly lives up to the name!"

Gu Qing was a little overwhelmed by their enthusiasm, but she still maintained a polite smile and stepped into the elevator.

After the elevator arrived at the floor, the staff escorted Gu Qing to her room and said solicitously, "Teacher Gu... please rest for a while. If there is anything you are not satisfied with, please let us know."

Gu Qing nodded and said, "Okay, thank you."

Several staff members quickly waved their hands: "You're welcome! We'll contact you later to let you know about the reading session."

After Zhao Ya closed the door,
The staff members breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged glances, and their eyes were full of excitement.

"Oh my god, is this Gu Qing who's recently gone viral online? He's so polite, unlike other young male celebrities who put on airs!"

"Yes, he even thanked us first. He seemed so well-behaved."

"Seeing him made me understand a saying: true beauty is always androgynous."

"I wonder which rich woman will benefit from this in the future."

"Hehe, with his looks, there are quite a few big shots in the industry with unique tastes."

Several staff members left the corridor while discussing the matter.

"Sister Xiaoya, I'll take care of my luggage when I get back. You can go to the next room to rest first."

inside the room,
Gu Qing arranged her luggage, intending to pack it herself.

"Boss, you're an idol now, how can you do these trivial things yourself?"

Zhao Ya wrinkled her nose and said seriously, "If outsiders see this, you will be looked down upon."

"You'll be looked down upon for packing your own clothes?"

Gu Qing was very puzzled. "So, does that mean I have to be unable to take care of myself and have you guys wear my clothes and socks for people to respect me?"

“Well… there’s no need to be so extreme.” Zhao Ya blushed and twisted her two fingers together, seemingly thinking of something. “But idols should maintain a certain distance. Otherwise, the easier you are to talk to, the more perfunctory others will be.”

"So, I can smile at celebrities and fans, but I can't smile much at backstage staff like you?"

Gu Qing asked, "So that you won't think I'm easy to bully?"

“That’s one way to understand it,” Zhao Ya nodded hurriedly.

"..."

Gu Qing closed her eyes, rubbed her forehead, and leaned back on the sofa. What kind of distorted environment was this?

"咚咚-"

Just then, an apologetic knock came from outside the door. "Excuse me, Ms. Gu, Director Lu is planning to invite you to a meeting in advance to discuss the arrangements for the upcoming programs."

"okay, I get it."

Gu Qing sighed, rallied her spirits, and followed the production crew to a room.

As Gu Qing stepped through the door...

Director Lu Hao and planner Qin Jun looked up almost simultaneously, their eyes instantly drawn to Gu Qing in the crowd.

They clearly had high expectations for this key figure in the show, and when Gu Qing actually appeared before them, those expectations turned into a pleasant surprise.

"Oh my, our show's visual representative truly lives up to his reputation. He is indeed a handsome man. I am the director of the show, and my surname is Lu."

Lu Hao spoke first, his tone full of enthusiasm. He stood up, warmly greeted Gu Qing, and shook hands with her.

"Director Lu, hello, you can just call me Gu Qing."

Gu Qing, naturally, wouldn't get carried away by a few compliments. He gently clasped his hands together, then released them, displaying a humble attitude.

Planner Qin Jun followed closely behind, carefully examining Gu Qing's appearance, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.

"Gu Qing, your image perfectly matches the positioning of our program. You're really handsome," he exclaimed sincerely.

After that,

The second earliest to arrive was Hong Kong artist Wang Zhulan.

A short, thin male celebrity with a somewhat comical appearance.

Because times have changed, Hong Kong and Taiwanese artists no longer enjoy the same privileged status in mainland China as they did before.

Plus,
Wang Zhulan himself was an unknown actor, so he greeted everyone warmly as soon as he entered.

Especially when she came to Gu Qing, she would utter all sorts of compliments like "You're so beautiful~ Handsome guy..."

"Thank you, senior."

Gu Qing also stood up to shake hands and bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

The 14-year-old heartthrob was praised and lauded by everyone.

But once it comes to the late 15 period,
The large number of poorly made films starring young, attractive actors has gradually aroused public resentment.

Veteran artists and directors in the industry have also begun to expose the diva-like behavior and unprofessional conduct of young male idols, and the term "young male idol" has begun to be universally condemned.

Next,
All the artists Gu Qing knew from his previous life arrived one after another:

Li Chen (Big Black Bull), Wang Baoqiang (Kung Fu Kid), Chen Chichi (Good Man), Deng Chao (Captain), Yang Ying (Baby)...

Perhaps it's because of the parallel universe, but because of his presence, the little cheetah is nowhere to be seen.

Thus, the original seven members of the Running Man cast have been reunited!
