Huayu: Starting from "The Heavenly Bodyguard"

Several episodes of "Running Man" have already been filmed, and Shen Ao and Lü Xing said that it's just a small variety show, which they can handle with ease.

Now there's another major investor: Tomato TV is nominally paying half of the production costs.

I don't know how Shen Daniu calculated it.

Shen Ao and Lü Xing discovered that the money paid by the other party, Xi Shi, was more than the total production cost.

Shen Daniu swindled money, and the two of them helped him swindle.

Many things that I only dared to think about before, I can now put into practice one by one.

They used movie-making techniques to film a variety show.

At first, the two of them were sneaking around, afraid of being discovered.

Later they found out that nobody was really in charge, so they just kept taking pictures.

What is a one-shot technique, what is a widescreen format, what is a heavy-duty mechanical lens?

Every now and then, I'll come and do some large-scale event coordination.

There are a lot of junior students from Beijing Film Academy who are doing internships here, and they provide plenty of boxed lunches.

Go through all the things you learned in school that you couldn't put into practice with the money.

This is Yang Tianzhen's first time serving as the chief planner.

Erpang Yatou had no experience with other projects and had no concept of filming costs.

However, seeing Shen Ao and Lü Xing working until midnight every day for the next day's filming, it was difficult to cut the budget.

It seems that being an artist is indeed expensive.

Thankfully, the tomatoes saved the day, otherwise we really wouldn't have been able to handle it.

Shen Daniu was the kind of person who dared to compete in a group discussion. He knew perfectly well what Shen Ao and Lü Xing, those two grandsons, were up to.

The sample episodes that were filmed were indeed of good quality.

Shen Daniu said, "Anyway, it's not my own money, so let the brothers have some fun first."

Shen Daniu felt he had struck gold by training two film directors from shooting a variety show.

When they were filming "Running Man", all the regular guests and the production crew also came to the "The Grandmaster" set.

The first season of Running Man also had seven regular cast members.

Yang Tianzhen arranged for all four artists from Wula Grass—Yang Mi, Zhu Yawen, Wang Baoqiang, and Zhang Jin—to become regular guests.

Jing Tian and Zhang Tian'ai, two unofficial members of the Ula Grass organization, naturally became regular guests.

After experiencing the Nao Tai Tao incident, Huang Xiaoming had a complete epiphany.

He came directly to become the team leader.

He plans to make a fortune based on his own jokes.

While Ula Grass and Huayi appear to be keeping to themselves, they are actually adversaries.

When Huang Xiaoming came to Wula Grassland to film "Running Man", Shen Mo seriously suspected that he had been wronged.

When he was making his own movies, those two guys would always get involved.

Shen Mo couldn't understand why Huang Xiaoming was able to openly film "Running Man" on Wula Grassland.

If you eliminate all the impossible ones, the one that remains, no matter how outrageous, is the correct answer.

Shen Daniu'er's eyes were strange, but his words were gentle.

I cautiously raised my question to Master Huang:

"Which of you two is in the first half of the night, and which is in the second half?"

Huang Xiaoming's answer was only one word.

"roll!"

The filming of "Running Man" began, and the "Grandmaster" crew appeared at the very beginning.

Shen Daniu rode his tricycle, carrying Liu Yifei and Wu Jing, and appeared directly in front of the regular guests.

When they first started going over the script, that damn Shen Danu actually wanted to ride in a sedan chair.

Finally, after Yang Tianzhen coaxed this grandson for a long time and promised to find him four assistants, he finally behaved.

The tricycle was a prop used in the filming of the "APC" music video. It's currently in high demand online with a large reward, so it was chosen as a prize in the first episode of "Running Man".

Having paid a huge price, Huang Xiaoming feels that everything has become clear.

With all these antics, "Running Man" is sure to become a huge hit.

Shen Daniu rode all good stuff, whether it had wheels or not.

These hard-to-find items have formed a mature secondary market, with a group of strange people who buy these things every day.

Riding this wave of unhealthy trends, even the outdated 28-inch motorcycle saw its sales skyrocket.

Huang Xiaoming has seen how crazy his relatives' kids can be about the cards inside instant noodles.

Now, "Running Man" is just like that bag of instant noodles.

Several episodes have already been filmed, and all the regular guests are already familiar with the filming process.

Soon we entered the first stage, commonly known as "talking nonsense".

Huang Xiaoming, along with the regular guests, began to welcome the cast and crew of "The Grandmaster".

As the team leader, Huang Xiaoming asked the first question:

"Silence."

"Everyone is curious about why 'The Grandmaster' tells the story of Ding Lianshan."

Shen Mo's eyes widened in shock, and he immediately began to act without conscience.

"Because Ip Man wasn't a very good person, I wanted to replace him with someone who could beat him up as the protagonist."

That bastard doesn't play by the rules!

He asked a few more questions casually, and Shen Mo dared to say anything.

Huang Xiaoming felt that things weren't going to get better today.

What is meant by:

"A bunch of shameless bastards, plagiarizing scripts and poaching the creators."

"That damn Huayi, suppressing its competitors, is nothing short of being a traitor."

"When Donnie Yen played Ip Man, I almost beat him to death back then, and his medical expenses alone cost more than three million."

"Wu Baige knows nothing about history, yet he can film Causeway Bay."

"Wu Junru and his mother must have worked as accountants in the black gold gang."

What the hell!

Is this so exciting?

Does a variety show really need to push the boundaries this much?

Aside from the explosive "talking nonsense" segment, Huang Xiaoming found the later segments even more thrilling.

The name tag ripping game turned into a battle between Ding Lianshan and Ip Man.

We're playing a name tag ripping game, not a life-or-death struggle.

Those were truly brutal, bone-crushing blows, a death-defying display of force.

Holy crap, Wu Jing was spitting blood, how come she kept rolling around and continuing? Is she that strong?

Wu Jing's mother was also furious.

Before filming, that bastard Shen Danu told him that he could win the name tag ripping game.

We'll tailor an action movie just for him, linking it up with "John Wick".

John Wick opened the door to Hollywood; I never even dared to imagine that my own action films could be linked with it.

Oh shit!

We'll give it our all.

Wu Jing jumped up and snorted.

Tanks do not have rearview mirrors.

Guns and cannons have no eyes.

The black guys don't speak the same language.

The scene that begins is a monkey stealing peaches.

Wu Jing was able to handle every move perfectly, and her drool was incredibly long.

In the end, Shen Mo successfully tore off the name tag.

Wu Jing sat on the ground, pounding her chest and stamping her feet, her eyes red.

Shen Mo quickly came over to comfort the baby-faced girl, who had been made to cry by her own actions.

"Don't cry, it's like I've done something to you."

"My action movies..."

Awkwardly rubbing his chin, Shen Mo said:

"I'm telling you, I'm arrogant."

"Actually... the script is all prepared... I just felt that we needed something special today..."

Wu Jing rubbed her eyes and glared angrily at Shen Mo.

"You son of a bitch, you're so heartless."

After Shen Mo comforted Wu Jing, he started looking for Zhu Yawen everywhere.

It's just a matter of working more overtime, earning less, and having worse benefits.

Shen Mo always acts fairly and justly.

Once a slave contract is signed, one must be treated as a slave.

He still dares to throw a tantrum every day.

It's absolutely necessary to correct this grandson's thinking.
