Chapter 396 Do You Understand the Value of Being Popular in Asia Back Then?

The program team still couldn't help but step forward to negotiate. This is cheating. The cheating is too big, and other people can't play.

Wei Yang also saw that the director team of "Running Man" is relatively conservative and can't stand this stimulation.

After all, they are new to reality shows. They lack experience and courage and dare not make it too big, so they hope that the contestants will be well-behaved and active within the rules, rather than compete with them and create "surprises".

After understanding this, Boss Wei is a little bored.

He doesn't have to make trouble for the program team. The main reason is that some tasks are too stupid. He can obviously take shortcuts, and he definitely can't stand the stupid "abuse".

In comparison, he still likes variety shows like "Extreme Challenge" with higher freedom, which is more fun to play.

But after all, it is his own variety show, and Boss Wei can't destroy his own reputation.

Moreover, under the premise that the program team does not allow it and others are honest, he keeps taking advantage of loopholes, which makes him look too "smart".

So, Boss Wei gave up taking shortcuts and honestly bought food in the Korean market according to the requirements of the program team.

The difficulty increased immediately!

Wei Yang and his friends did not understand Korean, and the Korean vendors did not understand Chinese or English. The only clue was the name of the food transliterated in Chinese, but they did not know what it was, so they could only gesture and guess. Even if they guessed correctly, they still had to complete the task if they wanted to take it away.

Fortunately, they were all artists, so they were not shy and thick-skinned. As long as the other party did not reveal any obvious disgust or resistance, they would just ask.

Due to the developed entertainment industry in South Korea, there are many similar variety shows. You can tell what is going on as soon as you see the camera, not to mention that many Korean market vendors have reached cooperation with the program group.

So the difficulty of the task was not particularly high, mainly due to the language barrier and the speed of the three teams.

"Meng Ge? What is this?"

Wei Yang muttered this word, trying to find a passerby to ask, with a camera following behind him, so the movement was still quite small.

"Oppa!"

Then the two girls looked at him in shock, covering their mouths exaggeratedly, and when they saw Wei Yang's face and the photographer, they screamed.

"It's Professor Gu."

"It's really him, Oppa is in Korea."

"Is this a variety show? It's a bit like Running Man. Where are Yoo Jae-suk and the others?"

"..."

The voices of the two girls attracted some people's attention.

Some people saw Wei Yang's face full of confusion and didn't know what to say. Some people were thoughtful and seemed to feel familiar with him. Some people easily recognized him and were surprised or delighted. They kept talking about him and some talked to him, but Wei Yang didn't understand.

Back then, "My Love from the Star" was very popular in East Asia and caused a whirlwind in Korea. It was very popular.

The name of Professor Gu, the Asian male god, is not a joke. I don't know how many Korean girls' dream lover he was at the time.

In the following years, works such as "Eastern Palace", "Joy of Life" and "My Fair Princess" also flowed into Korea. Although they were not as popular as "My Love from the Star", they also had some influence.

"Eastern Palace" and "My Fair Princess" were also bought by Korean companies for adaptation rights like "My Love from the Star". I heard that the latter is already in production.

So even though Wei Yang has come to Korea less frequently, he is one of the few Chinese stars who is very influential in Korea and has a lot of fans.

The "Running Man" program team put these two episodes in Korea, and there is no lack of selfishness in this regard.

They want to reveal the popularity of Wei Yang and the others abroad through these two episodes, increase exposure and topicality, and this is not only good for the program team, but also for the two people and "Super Time Cohabitation", so they naturally reach an agreement.

So when the director team who has been observing the recording of the program saw Wei Yang being recognized and the fans' excited close-ups, they couldn't help but wave their arms.

He knows too well how powerful this kind of Chinese star is in being popular abroad!

In fact, if Wei Yang was in China, this configuration would have been recognized long ago.

But in Korea, although his popularity is not bad, it is not to the point where everyone knows him, and the exposure is relatively small. In addition, he is not Korean, so people will not think of him as their first impression.

They will notice something wrong, and they will inevitably hesitate, wondering if they have made a mistake, or if it is something similar to imitating a talent show.

Only true fans know enough about Wei Yang to quickly identify the real person through various reasons, and then break the doubts of others.

When someone really recognized Wei Yang and received positive feedback, Boss Wei's popularity in the market increased a lot.

Many fans or spectators surrounded him, and many people took mobile phones to shoot, which became a star-chasing scene.

Boss Wei has always been cunning. Seeing this scene, he immediately started to use his brain. He couldn't ask for help outside the venue to cheat, but he couldn't just watch the enthusiastic people on the scene help.

"Excuse me, is there anyone who can speak Chinese or English?"

Wei Yang asked on the spot in Chinese and English. His English level was not very good. When he was in school, he was just an ordinary middle-class, otherwise he would not have applied for an art school.

Later, due to work and other reasons, he couldn't understand English at all. He also worked hard to learn it, but he could only barely communicate and not be deaf and dumb.

Fortunately, there are still hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the crowd. After all, this is a large market in the capital, and it even has the meaning of a food street. There are many young people.

English is a universal language, needless to say, and with the increasing development of the country, there are many people learning Chinese in Korea. Anyway, Wei Yang quickly picked out several people, one of whom is a Chinese student.

This Chinese student is OK in Korean, but he doesn't know much about Korean food, and when it comes to Chinese transliteration, he is even more confused, so the main translators are Koreans who know their own food.

With the help of these enthusiastic fans and passers-by, Wei Yang and his team's task progressed smoothly.

There were so many onlookers around him that even many vendors had an impression of him. Some people who had watched his drama took photos with him, and they didn't care about the task of the program.

Coincidentally, Boss Wei was recognized. Fan Qianqian, who was as popular as Professor Gu, was also very popular in Korea.

So soon after Wei Yang was exposed, Fan Xiaopang was also recognized, and it also turned into another group of fan meetings.

It's just that most of Wei Yang's side are women, while Fan Xiaopang's side is both men and women, with relatively more men.

They were all in the same market, and Wei Yang's method was also borrowed by Fan Xiaopang and others. Therefore, Wei Yang's yellow team completed the task first, followed by Fan Xiaopang's green team. The three men in the red team had the highest combat effectiveness, but they could only be at the bottom.

Here we can see the gap between sports stars and entertainment stars. Liu Feiren's influence is not weak. He is also known as the Asian Flying Man and the pride of the yellow race. In terms of actual reputation, he may be even higher than Wei Yang and the others.

But his name is famous, but his face is not so well-known. There may be many people in China who can't recognize him, let alone Koreans.

If you are not a sports and track and field enthusiast, you don't know who this tall, thin and strong man is.

In the end, the green team won, followed by the yellow team, and finally the red team, which was full of confidence. It is true that the green and yellow teams are proud, and Chen Chichi and Xue Zhiqian are even more mocking.

There is no way. The red team has been clamoring just now, and now it has been slapped in the face. Don't you hurry up and step on it?

From gathering in the morning, doing tasks in the market in the afternoon, it was night. According to the arrangement of the program team, all the team members came to a Korean homestay to stay and wait for tomorrow's recording.

This section has a bit of a slow variety show posture. In the previous recording, there has never been such a scene of collective overnight stay in the program venue, including the seven-member group.

But in order to make things happen, the program team still came to a game competition to grab rooms.

Two sets of luxury single rooms, two sets of medium double rooms, and a large bunk bed that can sleep four or five people.

The luxury single room is not particularly luxurious, but one person lives alone, with a large bed, a toilet and a bathroom. It is not only spacious and bright, but also provides food and drinks.

The double room is similar to the single room, except that the large bed is divided into two small beds, and there is no food.

The large bunk bed is more shabby, there is no toilet or even a bed, it is just a large floor bed, and the place is relatively crowded. Basically, there is only a place to sleep except for luggage, and if there are too many people, they have to sleep next to each other.

Obviously, the single room is a reward, the double room is a guarantee, and the large bunk bed is a punishment.

The game is very simple. All nine people in three teams are separated and start individual competitions. Whoever has the highest score has the priority to choose a room.

Theoretically, the first two people can sleep in a single room, the first three to the first six can sleep in a double room, and the remaining three can sleep in a large bunk bed.

This immediately aroused everyone's competitive spirit!

The afternoon game is more about playing. In fact, winning or not is not that important, but the evening game involves sleeping in which room, which is directly related to personal interests. No one wants to sleep in a bunk bed with other two people.

The content of the game is very simple. The program team asks questions, and nine people rush to answer. +1 point is added for correct answers.

At the same time, since the questions are basically related to the nine people, the parties involved cannot answer the questions.

Everyone has a buzzer in their hands, connected to the same device. The screen of the first button pressed lights up, and then they can answer the question. +1 point is added for correct answers. If the answer is wrong, this round is eliminated, and others rush to answer again.

After explaining the rules of the game, everyone understands, and then the director asks the first question.

[In which year did Teacher Sha Yi debut? 】

This question confused everyone except Sha Yi. It seems simple, but it is actually very difficult.

Because Sha Yi debuted very early, and his early works were not very conspicuous, he was a late bloomer, so the question was really difficult to answer.

Even Wei Yang was stumped by this question. He knew some of Sha Yi's early works, but who could remember the year of his debut so clearly?

But he still had to grab it, what if he guessed it right?

Xue Zhiqian was the fastest, or he didn't even consider which question was which, he just grabbed it first.

Unfortunately, he couldn't fight back after he got it, so he could only guess one: "1985?"

"Get out!"

Sha Yi was so angry that he wanted to fight with him: "Brother, I'm not a child star, am I that old?"

Rouba won the second round of answering: "2000? I remember that Brother Sha was born in 1975, and he was probably this age when he graduated from college."

Sha Yi gave a hint: "It's pretty close."

Deng Chao and Wang Baoqiang also guessed, but none of them were right. Wei Yang also grabbed the opportunity, but still didn't get the correct answer.

"I only know that your debut work seems to be a movie of "Liao Zhai", and your name seems to be Xi Fangping, but I forgot the exact year."

"It really is."

Sha Yi was very surprised. He was still a handsome uncle, and he was not so miserable that his profile was dug up for comparison, so they knew that he had made very few debuts.

If he hadn't checked Baidu beforehand, even a few close friends might not know, but he didn't expect that a big boss like Wei Yang could actually say it.

Wei Yang smiled: "You will actually suffer a little in this competition, because when I asked you to record, I looked at all your information. I may not remember all of it, but I definitely have an advantage."

He also showed it to a few people: "I don't remember when Sha Yi debuted, but Bingbing sister started filming in 1997 and became famous in 1998."

"Brother Chao acted in a drama in his junior year, and became famous in 2002 with "Young Emperor."

"Lao Xue was born in the "My Style My Show" talent show, and became famous in 2006 with "Serious Snow."

"I forgot when Baoqiang debuted, but his first work was "Blind Well", and he also won the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer. Chichi is simpler, "Love Apartment."

"Not to mention Rouba, his debut work was "Eastern Palace", which I personally selected. Feiren has never acted in a play, joined the national team in 1999, and his first major championship was the 2001 World University Games."

Wei Yang briefly mentioned the few personal information he remembered, which really stunned others.

On the one hand, I was surprised that Wei Yang was worthy of being the boss. He was cautious and read everyone's information. The most important thing was that he could remember it.

On the other hand, I lamented that how could I win this game with someone who had memorized the information.

"Don't panic. Isn't this question something I can't answer either?"

Wei Yang didn't think he was a know-it-all. Having an advantage didn't mean he could fully display it. It also depended on luck.

He guessed correctly. Although Wei Yang had read the information and could remember a lot of key information, luck was the key.

He only answered one of the first five questions correctly. He didn't know three, and he knew one but was slow to get it.

After five rounds, Wei Yang scored 1 point, which was in the middle. The one who answered the most correctly was Fan Xiaopang. She was lucky and smart. She took the initiative and guessed two correctly after the hints from the parties involved and the continuous elimination of wrong answers by others.

Liu Feiren also guessed one correctly. There was another question that no one could answer, so it was lost.

Each question in this game was answered very slowly, and the program team couldn't keep playing. At this pace, as long as six people got 1 point, the remaining three unlucky guys would have no chance, so the situation became more and more intense.

[What is Rouba's full name? ]

As soon as the program director finished the sixth question, Xue Zhiqian grabbed the opportunity and shouted excitedly.

"Di Li Rouba!"

"Wrong answer."

Rouba smiled: "Di Li Rouba is just part of my full name, a bit like a stage name."

Now the others were stunned. Many people didn't know that Di Li Rouba was not her full name. Only Boss Wei calmly grabbed the second chance.

"Di Li Rouba Dilimulati, followed by her surname, Di Li Rouba is her name, which means beloved beauty."

"Wow."

Everyone was surprised. This name is not easy to remember. Even if Wei Yang had read the information, he didn't expect to remember it. Rouba himself looked at Wei Yang with starry eyes, admiring and affectionate.

"Boss, you remember everything."

"Of course, my employees must know more, otherwise I'd be a boss for nothing."

Fan Xiaopang keenly noticed that something was wrong with Rouba, and pursed his lips: "Do you remember Gulinaza's full name?"

"Of course, Gulinaza Baihetiyar, her name means flower-like appearance."

Everyone applauded and praised Boss Wei's professionalism. Rouba was a little jealous and couldn't help but feel regretful. It turned out that he was not special. Only Fan Xiaopang felt relieved when he saw the latter's change of color.

Little girl, fight with me!
