My mouth moves faster than my brain; I went viral on Running Man and the whole internet is laughing.

[Places where Daniel Wu and Li Yifei can check in]

[Daily updates, plenty of content to satisfy your appetite]

[Hilarious from start to finish, the car speed is off the charts!]

Fasten your seatbelts, everyone! Let's go!

(Wang Baobao will return in the third episode)

……

Magic City.

Xingyao Entertainment, 17th floor conference room.

Xu Yan sat on one side of the long table, with a pre-printed contract termination document in front of him.

The woman sitting opposite him was named Sun Man, and she had been his agent for the past three years.

Sun Man pushed the document forward, her tone indifferent:

"Sign it."

Xu Yan looked up at her.

Sun Man leaned back in her chair, a hint of professional weariness on her face, as if she were dealing with a long-forgotten package:

"The company didn't hold your contract back, nor did it make things difficult for you. Today is the expiration of your contract, so let's part ways amicably."

"What job you want to take in the future, and what you want to say, has nothing to do with the company."

Xu Yan stared at her for two seconds, then suddenly smiled:

"Sister Sun, the way you're saying that makes it sound like you're getting a divorce."

Sun Man's lips stiffened.

She took a deep breath: "Xu Yan, I don't want to hear your witty remarks today."

Xu Yan nodded: "Coincidentally, I don't want to today either."

Sun Man: "..."

She looked at Xu Yan, her eyes finally showing a hint of impatience:

"Your mouth hasn't changed at all."

Xu Yan did not answer.

He'd heard that phrase far too many times in the past few years.

I used to hear people say this with a smile.

Back then, he was called Xu Duidui.

In the early years after their debut, the internet wasn't as tense as it is now. Netizens loved to see authenticity, to see celebrities not putting on airs, and to see people tear open the facade of politeness.

Xu Yan entered the entertainment industry because of her looks, but she didn't become famous because of her looks. Instead, she became famous because of her mouth, which always gets to the scene before her brain does.

A reporter asked him, "Whose look do you think was the most stunning on the red carpet tonight?"

Xu Yan looked around and remained silent for a moment:

"It's hard to say whether it was amazing or not, but it certainly gave me a few frights."

The topic trended on social media that night.

Netizens were laughing hysterically, saying he was a living, breathing person in the Chinese entertainment industry.

But the trends on the internet can change very quickly.

The same words used to be called "daring to speak," but later they were called "lacking tact."

The same rant used to be called "real," but later it became "poisonous."

Marketing accounts cut out the cause and effect, leaving only the most offensive half-sentence, and then add eerie subtitles and enlarged expressions. A video of just over ten seconds can turn an ordinary joke into a malicious attack.

Xu Yan never imagined that one day, his most famous thing would become the label that would forever condemn him.

Xu is a sarcastic, sharp-tongued, unscrupulous, and utterly lacking in manners.

The company initially tried to lobby on his behalf, but later found that the more they tried, the more trouble they caused, so they simply shut him down.

There was no formal ban, no public sideline.

But gradually all announcements disappeared, all resources gradually bypassed him, and all meetings stopped inviting him.

The company neither fired him nor allowed him to show his face; they just left him in a corner until his contract expired.

It was put on hold for two and a half years.

"Let's sign it, and part ways amicably."

Sun Man was getting a little impatient.

Xu Yan no longer hesitated, signed his name, and left the conference room.

……

The elevator hasn't arrived yet.

Xu Yan stood at the elevator entrance, looking at the balance on her phone, feeling a little worried.

Four hundred and eighty-five yuan and thirty-two cents...

Is three days enough to live in Shanghai, where land is incredibly expensive?

It doesn't seem to be enough.

Moreover, after the contract was terminated, he could no longer live in the employee dormitory, and he would have to find a place to stay...

Just as he was worrying about which park bench to use tonight, a mechanical voice suddenly rang in his mind.

[The host has officially ended its hibernation state.]

Xu Yan paused.

[Calculating the host's past public statements...]

[173 effective comeback moments.]

[Highly controversial and widely circulated clips: 41.]

[56 maliciously edited clips.]

[19 frequently repeated quotes from across the internet.]

[Audience emotional trigger types: laughter, emotional breakdown, shock, identification, anger, and fan-made content.]

Xu Yan was silent for two seconds, looked down at her phone, and then looked up at the elevator display screen.

no one.

No one was wearing headphones and playing pranks nearby.

The sound continued.

[Comprehensive assessment: The host possesses the potential to become a top-tier variety show sensation.]

[Famous Scene System successfully bound!]

[The host can gain happiness points by creating memorable moments and eliciting laughter from the audience.]

Happiness Points can be redeemed for: skills, works of art, assets, and more.

Xu Yan blinked slowly.

system?

He hadn't been in the news for two and a half years, his contract had just expired, and the company had just let him go when the system appeared?

Xu Yan stood at the elevator entrance, her eyes filled with excitement.

They arrived just in time!

The voice in my head is still echoing.

[New player rewards are being distributed...]

[Reward 1: Invitation to become a permanent member of the top-tier national variety show "Running Man Season 2" (three-term trial period)]

[Reward Two: Basic Physical Fitness Enhancement.]

[Reward 3: Improved camera presence.]

[Reward Four: Meticulous Observational Skills.]

Running Man Season 2?!

Xu Yan's eyes lit up with joy!

Of course he knows about this show.

A nationally popular variety show, its popularity soared after the first season aired!

The popularity of the regular guests soared, and the entire cast rose to the top tier of the entertainment industry.

More importantly, this show is not the kind of indoor variety show where you read from a script, nor is it a show where you perform according to a script. Instead, it is a large-scale outdoor reality show that combines elements of chasing, brain teasers, competition, and pranks!

Moreover, there was no script throughout the entire show, and the program's effect depended entirely on the audience's reactions!

Just then, his phone vibrated, and an email popped up:

Invitation to the recording of Running Man Season 2.

Xu Yan carefully read the line of text and opened the email.

The invitation is genuine.

The recording location, meeting time, contact person, and contract process are all clearly written down.

Xu Yan looked at the last line, "Tentative Invitation for Regular Guests," paused for a few seconds, and then suddenly chuckled.

He was just fired from his company.

The second season of Running Man opened the door.

It seems like God felt his life wasn't exciting enough and decided to push him back onto the big screen.

A few minutes later, an unknown number called.

Xu Yan answered the phone.

The voice on the other end of the phone was direct: "Xu Yan?"

"Um, who are you?"

"I am Lu Hao, the chief director of 'Running Man Season 2'."

Xu Yan's eyes flickered.

coming!

So fast?!

Lu Hao didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point:

"You should have already received the invitation. We understand your situation; it's controversial and risky. But Running Man needs fresh reactions, so the production team is willing to give you a chance."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yan suddenly laughed and said, "Director Lu, you guys are quite bold."

"Um?"

Lu Hao was puzzled.

Xu Yan smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid I'll have a sharp tongue?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

Lu Hao seemed to chuckle: "I'm not afraid of sharp words, I'm afraid of no reaction."

Xu Yan: "Then your show would be perfect for me."

Lu Hao said succinctly: "Meet in Los Angeles tomorrow, and record the first episode the day after tomorrow. I'll send you the details, and the contract will be signed on-site."

Xu Yan was about to say yes, but then stopped herself.

Lu Hao asked in confusion, "What, you're unavailable?"

Xu Yan gave a wry smile: "I have the time, but I don't have the money to buy plane tickets..."

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone.

A few seconds later, Lu Hao's voice came:

"The airfare and hotel will be provided by the production team. We can't give you the appearance fee yet; a partial deposit will be paid after the contract is signed."

"How about this, I'll take out my own money and lend you two thousand."

Xu Yan was delighted: "Thank you, Director Lu."

Lu Hao then hung up the phone.

Two minutes later.

Lu Hao sent a friend request and transferred two thousand yuan to Xu Yan.

Xu Yan was a man of principle; after receiving the payment, he sent a message: "Thank you, Director Lu. I'll pay you back as soon as I receive the appearance fee."

He's not the kind of person who takes advantage of others.

After receiving the two thousand yuan, Xu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Row.

At least before going to Los Angeles, I don't need to research which park benches in Shanghai are the flattest.
