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

The first scene filmed was the one where Qin Fang falls off a cliff and revives Si Teng.

Jing Tian stood under the ancient tree, sunlight filtering through the leaves and casting dappled shadows on her.

Her gaze shifted from initial confusion and bewilderment to mockery and coldness.

After Jing Tian put on the cheongsam, her entire demeanor changed.

Her usual liveliness and exuberance vanished at this moment, replaced by a sense of aloofness and elegance that emanated from her very being.

"Click. Passed."

First rule, passed in one go.

After the first take, the next scene is Chen Xiao's resurrection.

"Forehead--"

Chen Xiao, who had been pierced through the chest by a dead tree stump, suddenly awoke. When he saw the dead tree stump in his chest, he let out a heart-wrenching scream.

"ah!!!"

"Cut, passed."

Staff immediately stepped forward and helped Chen Xiao put on the harness.

The next scene is Si Teng treating Qin Fang's penetrating wound.

The morning's filming progressed faster than expected.

Since it wasn't a movie shoot, Fu Yibai didn't have high expectations for Jing Tian's acting skills; all she needed to do in this role was look beautiful.

Although Huang Mengying, who plays Shen Yindeng, didn't have many scenes in the first few days, she still chose to stay on set.

After finishing work that evening, Fu Yibai took Jing Tian and Huang Mengying back to the film crew's residence.

The hotel was located in a Tibetan-style hotel outside Shangri-La Old Town. The hotel owner, a Tibetan man in his fifties, knew that the film crew was staying there and specially gave them some of the best rooms.

Fu Yibai's room was at the end of the corridor. It was a suite with a small living room, and the window faced the distant snow-capped mountains.

He had just finished showering and changed into his pajamas when there was a knock on the door.

Jing Tian opened the door and stood there, dressed in a beige loungewear outfit. Her hair was half-dry, and she was holding a pillow in her arms.

"The heating in my room is broken, it's so cold."

She pouted, looking pitiful.

"I'll contact the front desk for you."

"No need, I'd like to stay here for the night."

Without saying a word, Jing Tian snuggled into his arms and closed the door behind her with her foot.

She stood in front of him, hugging a pillow, looking up at him with an undisguised mischievous glint in her eyes.

Fu Yibai reached out and pinched the tip of her nose.

"You've learned to lie too."

"Hehe, pretty women all lie."

The two lay down on the bed. Jing Tian placed her pillow next to his pillow, then snuggled into his arms, her cold hands and feet pressed directly against his body.

"hiss--"

"hey-hey."

Jing Tian snuggled her face into the crook of his neck, found a comfortable spot, and calmed down.

Not long after, there was another knock on Fu Yibai's door.

The two, who were about to do something naughty, stopped and looked at each other.

"It should be Mengying."

"Go and take a look."

Jing Tian pushed Fu Yibai off the bed, then hid under the covers herself.

Fu Yibai arrived at the door and looked through the peephole; it was Huang Mengying.

He immediately opened the door and pulled her inside.

"My room..."

"Is the heating broken?"

Before she could finish speaking, Fu Yibai interrupted her with a teasing remark.

"Forehead……"

"Haha, Mengying, why are you using the same excuse as me?"

Jing Tian's laughter came from the bedroom.

"Sister Tian Tian is here too, then I'll head back now."

"You're already here, why would you want to go back?"

Fu Yibai picked Huang Mengying up in his arms and carried her towards the bedroom.

On March 8, the pilot episode of "Running Man: Spain Special Season" was broadcast.

Although it's called a pilot episode, it's actually the first episode that was filmed in Harbin.

Because this season is a special season for promoting Spain, we could only use the episode about Harbin Ice and Snow World as a pilot episode to introduce the theme of this season.

On March 9, the first episode of "Running Man: Spain Special Season" was officially broadcast to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Spain.

The show unfolded according to the usual format of Running Man.

The seven guests were divided into two teams and completed a series of game tasks in Madrid’s Plaza Mayor, Prado Museum, Retiro Park and San Miguel Market.

Director Wang Zhe put a lot of effort into the game design, incorporating Spanish cultural elements into each mission.

The task at the Prado Museum was to have the guests identify the corresponding original paintings based on close-up details of Goya's works.

Yang Mi displayed unexpected artistic talent in this segment. When she recognized Goya's "The Third of May 1808," even the museum staff gave her a thumbs up.

Tang Yan relied on the process of elimination to guess all the way to the last question, and Deng Chao teased her, saying, "Luck is also part of strength."

The water activities at Retiro Park left everyone soaked.

The weather in Madrid in March is much warmer than in Beijing, but the temperature of the lake water still caused the guests to scream and howl when they went into the water.

During the rowing segment, Lei Jiayin dropped her paddle into the water and tried to row it back by hand, but the whole boat spun around three times in place.

Tang Yan and Wang Baoqiang worked together seamlessly and were the first to complete the water obstacle course. However, because Lei Jiayin's boat was still spinning in place, Deng Chao's team fell behind in the overall score.

The tasks at the Saint Miguel Market are the most popular part.

This segment allows guests to sample famous Spanish cuisine, from Iberian ham to fried calamari rings, from gazpacho to churros dipped in chocolate.

Less than two hours after the show aired, topics related to Running Man dominated Weibo's trending topics list.

#HuangBoTranslationMaster# ranked third. Huang Bo's impromptu "Spanish translation" in the show was screenshotted by fans and turned into memes. The comments section was full of teasing comments like "Brother Bo, you translated very well, don't translate next time".

Next, #YangMi'sArtisticSkills# rose to sixth place on the trending topics list.

#Lei Jiayin rowed a boat but got nothing# followed closely behind in eighth place.

A clip of Lei Jiayin spinning in place while boating in Retiro Park was edited into a meme video, which garnered over five million views that very night.

Lei Jiayin herself was very generous, reposting the meme video with only three words in the caption, "I tried my best." The top comments section was filled with uniform "hahahahaha".

But what truly made this episode go viral was a long post on Weibo by an account called "Variety Show Insider".

This account specializes in uncovering behind-the-scenes stories of variety shows. While it doesn't have a large number of followers, its content is often proven true, giving it a certain level of credibility within the variety show community.

He published a long article at 10:40 p.m. on the night the show aired, titled "Some things behind the Running Man Spain Special Season".

The core message of the long article is very clear: "This season of Running Man was originally filmed in China, and all the venues had been coordinated. The preliminary preparations took nearly two months."

However, in December, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee jointly issued a document designating Running Man as the program for cultural exchange activities commemorating the 12th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Spain.

Less than half a month after receiving the assignment, the production team changed the entire filming plan from China to Spain.

The advance team flew to Madrid to scout locations beforehand, and all game elements were redesigned. The amount of pre-production work was equivalent to planning an entire season from scratch.
