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

#Xu Yan defeats Huang Xiaoming#

#Let's create a CP between Xu Yan and Dilraba!#

#……#

To Xu Yan's surprise, the top trending topic was actually the chicken and rabbit problem!

And it's not just Weibo.

Some bloggers have already posted his line, "Suppose all the chickens raise their two legs..." on Douyin, which has generated quite a bit of buzz.

The most-liked video has already received 130,000 likes, and its views have probably exceeded three million long ago.

Click into the comments section and you'll see netizens are laughing their heads off.

"What the hell is this?! It lifted up the chicken's two legs!"

"Little Blackie's showing his chicken feet now!"

"The funniest thing is... it actually works to solve the problem."

"I could laugh for a year at Chen Chichi's bewildered face."

"..."

Besides the segment about chickens and rabbits in the same cage, the part where he tore apart Deng Chao and killed Huang Xiaoming was also cut out, and the most liked part has over 40,000 views.

The comments section was filled with shock.

"That explosive power is truly outrageous."

"Last time they were focused on Li Chen, this time they're tearing apart Huang Xiaoming. Their physical abilities are definitely not just for the sake of the show."

"After watching these two episodes, Xu Yan is indeed quite suitable for Running Man."

"..."

Seeing these comments, Xu Yan felt a great sense of satisfaction.

At least for now, the audience seems quite satisfied with him.

Before going to bed.

Xu Yan glanced at her Weibo followers again.

The number of views was around 470,000 when the recording just ended, and now it's 620,000!

150,000 new active followers in one night!

"Awesome!"

Xu Yan was in a good mood, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.

Although this is still far from a true comeback, at least there are signs of a comeback now!

Then.

He placed his phone beside his pillow and fell asleep with a pleasant feeling.

……

The next morning.

Early in the morning, the production team woke everyone up and took the high-speed train to the filming location for the third episode – Hangzhou Creek Lake.

The production team booked a business suite, and the atmosphere inside the carriage was much more relaxed than the previous two days.

As soon as Chen Chichi got in the car, he started to catch up on sleep. Deng Chao and Li Chen were browsing trending topics on social media, while Wang Zulan was still reviewing the whole process of his "failed undercover operation" with Zheng Kai.

Xu Yan had barely sat down when Director Lu called her to the small private room next door.

Dilraba was there too.

She looked at Xu Yan with a slightly puzzled expression when she saw him come in, then turned to Director Lu and asked, "Director Lu, why did you call us here?"

Director Lu looked at the two of them and smiled.

Before speaking, he placed a tablet in front of Xu Yan and Reba.

"This is a clip of you two bickering last night, and it's already got 300,000 likes."

Xu Yan and Reba looked down.

really.

The tablet was playing a video of Dilraba punching Xu Yan's arm in anger.

The comments section was filled with phrases like "So sweet!", "Ahhh, I'm dying of sweetness!", and "Please, you two should become a couple!"

At this moment, Director Lu smiled and said:

"The feedback on your interactions in these two episodes has been very positive; viewers find them very natural."

Xu Yan looked up, hesitated for two seconds, and said, "Director Lu, this might not be natural."

Director Lu: "What is that?"

"It might be a grudge from university," Xu Yan said seriously.

"You're asking for it!"

Upon hearing this, Reba angrily slapped Xu Yan's arm.

Xu Yan shrugged: "Look, it's all accumulated resentment."

Director Lu almost couldn't hold back, and nodded with a smile:

"Yes, that's the taste."

Dilraba: "..."

Director Lu continued, "So the production team is considering that your characters will be slightly more like an on-screen couple later on."

Xu Yan narrowed his eyes: "Trying to create a CP (couple pairing)?"

Director Lu nodded slowly.

"what?"

Dilraba's tone seemed somewhat surprised, but she actually glanced at Xu Yan out of the corner of her eye.

Xu Yan said with a serious expression, "Director Lu, I'm fine with creating a CP (couple pairing) image, but I have one condition."

Lu Hao asked in confusion, "What are the conditions?"

"Buy me insurance."

Xu Yan said with a serious face, "Otherwise, Dilraba would definitely have given me a workplace injury."

"puff."

Director Lu couldn't help but laugh.

Dilraba's eyes widened instantly, her fingers already reaching for Xu Yan's lower back, giving him a light pinch: "Who hit you? No, who's going to create a CP (couple pairing) with you!"

"hiss……"

Xu Yan gasped in shock and immediately begged for mercy.

Then Lu Hao smiled and waved his hand:

"Okay, the production team doesn't want you to have a real conversation, but rather more interaction and a more natural feel to the show."

"I understand, let's pretend to be ambiguous." Xu Yan nodded.

"What do you mean by 'pretending to be ambiguous'?" Dilraba asked indignantly.

"So you want to be really ambiguous?" Xu Yan asked back.

Dilraba's face was slightly flushed:

"Shut up!"

Lu Hao nodded with a smile, "This part doesn't need editing, it can be used directly."

Dilraba: "..."

Lu Hao added, "By the way, you've already decided on a couple name."

Xu Yan: "What's your name?"

Lu Hao: "Hot Couple"

? ? ? ?

Dilraba and Xu Yan both looked puzzled.

"This CP name is so hasty," Xu Yan complained.

Lu Hao laughed: "I didn't come up with that name, your CP fans did."

As he spoke, he swiped a couple of times on the tablet and found a super topic called "[Hot CP]".

When I clicked in, it was full of fans who shipped Xu Yan and Dilraba as a couple.

"Wow, there's already a super topic?" Xu Yan found it a bit funny.

"The pairing can be unpopular, but it can't be weird..." Dilraba whispered.

"Indeed, our pairing is quite strange."

After Xu Yan finished speaking, he added insult to injury by saying, "A high-profile, aloof female celebrity fell in love with a nobody like me."

Dilraba smiled immediately.

After discussing the couple, Lu Hao's smile faded, and his tone became more serious:

"There's something else important."

Xu Yan looked at him.

Lu Hao said, "The feedback from your two live streams has been good, with more than ten trending topics mentioning your name. Although some of them only just made it to the tail end of the trending list, the number of views and discussions are quite high."

Xu Yan remained silent, waiting for Lu Hao to continue.

"So last night I had a meeting with the production team and decided to increase your appearance fee to 50,000 per episode, starting from the third episode," Lu Hao said.

Xu Yan was stunned for a moment.

"fifty thousand?"

Lu Hao smiled and said, "Yes, fifty thousand."

Xu Yan paused for two seconds, then his expression became much more sincere: "Director Lu, I'm a little taken aback by your sudden remark."

Dilraba laughed beside her, "From five hundred to fifty thousand, that's a hundredfold increase."

Xu Yan turned to look at her: "Don't calculate it that way."

Dilraba: "Why?"

Xu Yan: "It makes me feel like I was worthless before."

Dilraba couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Lu Hao added, "And the 50,000 is only temporary. After the third episode is recorded, the first episode should be airing soon. We'll then renegotiate your appearance fee based on the feedback, popularity, and market assessment."

"As long as you can maintain your position, the price will definitely satisfy you."

Xu Yan nodded:

"clear."

He paused, then asked, "So, am I considered a permanent employee now?"

Lu Hao thought for a moment: "Consider it a price increase trial."

Xu Yan: "..."

Dilraba smiled so broadly her eyes crinkled, and she held out her hand to Xu Yan, saying, "Congratulations on the price increase, treat me to dinner."

"I'll definitely do it next time."

Xu Yan made a joke and dashed out of the private room.

"You damned Xu Yan!"

Reba chased after him, cursing and swearing.

Lu Hao watched this scene, his smile deepening.

This couple doesn't need any deliberate hype.

They have such natural chemistry.
