Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 45 Wuxia Special - The Final Episode

……

——shancheng

unconsciously,

The recording of the final episode of the first season of Running Man is approaching.

The theme of this episode is about the struggle for the martial arts manual "Ruyi Zhenjing".

Unlike the previous 14 issues,
The final episode had no guests; it was purely a battle between the seven brothers.

After several months of getting along,

After the show aired, things flourished, and they got along very well.

Upon arriving at the recording location,

"Good morning, Xiao Gu."

"Xiao Gu, have you had breakfast? I bought a lot of meals..."

As soon as Gu Qing arrived, the staff of the Running Man program greeted him warmly.

"No, no, I already ate before I came."

Gu Qing waved and greeted everyone.

"You know what, Xiao Gu is really different from most of the celebrities I've met before. Even though he's famous, he doesn't look down on people."

After Gu Qing left, some people remarked, "She looks no different from when we first met her."

"That's rare. No wonder he's so popular."

Even some seasoned veterans in the entertainment industry who have been around for years find it somewhat unbelievable.

Just like many people who think they have a very easy-going temper,
But the reality is,

It's often not that you have a mild temper, but that you simply lack the ability to be arrogant.

Why do those celebrities who become famous overnight often act like divas and become arrogant?

It's because they have this ability!

Surrounded by people who fear me, dread me, are afraid of me, and fawn over me, why should he need to hide his personality?

Laugh when you're happy, and curse when you're unhappy.

Who dares to control them?

Therefore,
In their eyes, it's incredibly rare for Gu Qing to have become such a popular young idol while still maintaining his original aspirations.

……

the other side,
When I pushed open the door to the dressing room,

Gu Qing squinted as the warm breeze blew in her face.

The vanity lamp illuminated the entire room brightly. Yang Ying was adjusting her earrings in front of the mirror. The moment she saw him reflected in the mirror, her almond-shaped eyes immediately curved into crescents.

"Qingqing——"

She turned around with a sweet, soft voice, her fluffy tulle skirt swirling in the swivel chair, her arms outstretched towards him: "Come here and let your big sister give you a hug."

"Baby, are you a child?"

Gu Qing felt quite helpless.

Two months ago,

He would blush and turn into a puffy face because of this request.

Now, however, he could walk past her without batting an eye, letting her long hair, scented with citrus perfume, brush against his chin.

"Why do you always look like a koala whenever we meet?"

Before he could finish speaking, a soft, warm touch choked him.

Yang Ying hugged him extra tightly this time, her rhinestone-encrusted nails gently scraping the skin on the back of his neck, as if she wanted to embed him into her arms.

"Qingqing, this is the last episode."

A muffled sound came from under her shoulder, carrying a hint of loneliness and reluctance, but her breathing was a little more rapid than usual.

"This is just the last episode of the first season. But if you think about it another way, isn't it also the beginning of the second season?"

Gu Qing looked down and saw the stray hairs sticking up on the top of her head. She slowly raised her hand and gently smoothed them down. "Okay, Baby, let go now. There are a lot of people watching."

"Just look, let me hug you a little longer."

Yang Ying was reluctant to let go, nuzzled her head, and buried her face in the boy's neck.

A light sniff reveals the warmth of sunshine, mixed with the fresh scent of lime-scented laundry detergent.

Clean, refreshing, and without any unpleasant, pungent perfume scent.

This suddenly reminded her of that time during a rainstorm when she was sheltering under the eaves, and Gu Qing had put his coat over her head; the fabric smelled just like that when it brushed against her nose.

Yang Ying unconsciously pressed the tip of her nose against his collarbone, the clean scent unique to a young man mingling with his fragrance, like a newly opened sketch paper exuding a faint woody aroma under the midday sun.

Her beautiful eyes were slightly misty as she looked up and said, "Qingqing, you smell so good."

"Baby, is that enough?"

Warm breath sprayed on her neck, and Gu Qing felt an unbearable itch.

Yang Ying pretended not to hear.
But from the corridor came Deng Chao humming the song "Superhero".

"It's all your fault for bringing the bad guys here!"

She retaliated by opening her small mouth and lightly biting the boy's collarbone before slowly letting go.

"Little brother, Baby, you're here so early?" Old Deng pushed open the door and greeted them with a bright smile when he saw Gu Qing and the other person.

"Good morning, Brother Chao."

Gu Qing awkwardly adjusted her collar and wiped away the wetness from her shoulder.

Yang Ying glanced at it, then smiled without saying a word.

"Xiao Gu, I heard you're going to sing a song at the New Year's Eve party, is that true?"

Deng Chao asked curiously.

"Qingqing, you can sing?"

Yang Ying was overjoyed.

"I'm an idol, of course I can sing."

Gu Qing nodded helplessly, "Brother Chao, it's true. We went to the Moon Platform for rehearsal right after recording the show."

"What's the name of this song? Did you write it?"

"The song... I wrote it, but the title is a secret."

Gu Qing did not reveal the details.

"Qingqing, why don't you hum a couple of lines?"

"No, if I hear it beforehand, there won't be any surprise."

Gu Qing ignored her darling's attempts to be affectionate.

"Wow, Gu, I never knew you could write songs."

Deng Chao patted Gu Qing on the shoulder with a smile, "If I need a theme song for my movies in the future, I'll ask you for it."

"Brother Chao, as long as you don't mind."

Gu Qing replied with a smile.

Soon, all the brothers arrived.

The program has officially started recording.
It was the familiar mini-theater segment again.

This episode is about martial arts, so naturally we'll try to ride the wave of popularity.

The first performance was Wang Baoqiang and Wang Zhulan's "Nameless"!
They played the roles of Wuming and Changkong, respectively.

"What brings you here, mere village head?"

Chang Konglan gripped his long spear, his eyes glazed over as he stared at the floor.

"You are a wanted criminal by the King, yet you dare to try and steal my Ruyi Jingu Bang?"

The nameless king's accent was even more laughable.

The two started fighting immediately after a disagreement.
From spears against swords, to a brawl like street shrewish women pulling each other's hair, they ended up fighting.

……

The second group consists of excerpts from the well-known film "The Eagle Shooting Heroes".

Chen Chichi and Li Chen respectively play the roles of Zhang Geshen and Liang Chaowei, with sausage lips.

The last group was even more humorous.

I wonder if the production team is recklessly flirting with disaster.

The script assigned to Gu Qing, Baby, and Deng Chao was actually "The Return of the Condor Heroes"!
Fortunately,

The clip provided is from the 95 version of Louis Koo and Li Ruotong, not the 06 version, otherwise it would be quite a mess.

The plot has been slightly modified.

When Yi Zhiping, played by Deng Chao, was about to molest Xiaolongnu, Yang Guo, played by Gu Qing, appeared just in time and used his two swords together to drive away the dragon knight.

"Master, could you teach me a couple more moves?"

Holding the longsword specially made by the production team, Gu Qing eagerly followed the martial arts instructor they had invited to learn the moves.

It's not unusual for boys to like playing with knives and guns.

But considering the current state of the Chinese entertainment industry, this is quite rare.

Even the action choreographer was surprised.

Judging from appearance,
He thought Gu Qing was like the other 'weak and powerless' male and female leads he had seen on set, afraid of hurting herself.

They were all less attractive than Lin Daiyu, but they had all learned her physical traits perfectly.

now,

Looking into Gu Qingliang's bright eyes, the martial arts choreographer felt he had rediscovered the feeling of the actor from over a decade ago.
It possesses the most common thing: a sense of shame.

"Okay, I'll teach you a couple of tricks."

The martial arts instructor casually demonstrated a simple set of sword moves and then began instructing Gu Qing from the side.

The more guidance they received, the more surprised they became.

Gu Qing learned most of his movements in one go, but he didn't know how to apply the techniques properly.

"My God, is the Chinese entertainment industry going to die?"

The action choreographer was very surprised.

But when he started teaching his eldest child,
"Yeah, it only survived for a short while..."
