The Rise of Korean Entertainment

In fact, the running man program team's favorable impression of Lee Mong-ryong is not too high. To exaggerate, it is even comparable to Liu Jae-seok. Logically speaking, it doesn't make sense. After all, what kind of status does Liu Jae-seok have? It can be said that he is the cornerstone of Running Man.

And Li Menglong only came a few times from time to time, and at most he was more relaxed than ordinary guests. Anyway, he didn't expect to become famous overnight, and he was very familiar with Liu Zaishi and the others, so he had a lot of fun.

Although the program team values ​​​​the effect of his program, as the most popular and influential program in South Korea nowadays, it is no exaggeration to say that most of the artists in the entertainment industry are allowed to be chosen by them. Except for the top batch of actors, they basically want to Anyone can be invited, no one will refuse.

Of course, this point also highlights Li Menglong's uniqueness, because he is the person who has refused the most invitations in history. This has a lot to do with the perseverance of the program team, and the program team naturally has reasons to pursue him.

There is no need for professionals to do the so-called analysis. Even ordinary viewers can see that after running for so long, the program has become very homogeneous. Although Liu Jae Suk and the others relied on their own charm It can also create a lot of laughs.

But compared with the initial freshness, the audience has undoubtedly already experienced a certain degree of aesthetic fatigue. It is a good habit to be prepared for danger in times of peace, not to mention the program team. When encountering such a program, they can't wait to film it for more than ten years. , so they are constantly thinking of ways.

The most direct thing is to revise the program, but the risk is not too great, it can almost be directly equated with committing suicide. The second step is to add new members. With new faces, there will naturally be new stories and combinations of people. Of course, this is not easy.

After all, we have to take into account the tacit understanding of the members themselves, the acceptance of the audience, and even the psychological endurance of the new members. If you think about it with your cerebellum, you will know the pressure and doubts that new members will face. Maybe many people will Give up.

So the stick that was chosen to look at caught everyone's eyes. Li Menglong was really suitable in all aspects: let alone Liu Zaishi and the others, he was not unfamiliar at all; the audience seemed to also Already familiar with the rhythm of Li Menglong coming over from time to time; as for the pressure he has to face, when has Li Menglong ever cared about these things?

It's just that the program team has not even mentioned similar regular invitations. This is not a question of dare or not, but the result is quite obvious. It's a damned thing that Li Menglong would agree to it. The invitation to him as a guest was completely rejected.

This made the program team feel like a failure for a time. It can be said that Li Menglong poured cold water on these arrogant program crews, letting them know that the program still has a lot of room for hard work, at least as long as they don't invite them. The artists who came were not.

As for the so-called temptations of those programs, there is no need to mention it with Li Menglong. He doesn't care about celebrities, and the money is even more ridiculous.

Li Menglong naturally didn't know the dirty thoughts of the program crew, but he could vaguely sense the trust that some of the program crew had in him. After all, in a situation like today, the program crew rushed over without saying a word, which was very honorable.

And Li Menglong has always been soft-spoken rather than tough-minded. Otherwise, would he really think that he would be so easy to talk to when recording a show? Liu Zaishi had quarreled with him many times. How many times had Li Menglong promised him? Therefore, it is accurate to say that the two sides are currently in a slightly ambiguous state. As for whether they can achieve positive results in the future, it is hard to say. The prospects are slightly bleak.

Now that he is close to the big tree of the show team, Li Menglong will naturally not be polite. He first wears uniform clothes. If the benefits of Running Man are true, he will be given new clothes in almost every episode of the show.

In summer, it was just a T-shirt at most, but in winter, they were given sweatshirts and down jackets, which made Li Menglong want to buy two more. Fortunately, he still had some bottom lines, mainly because he felt that it might be a bit too much. Shame on you.

After getting dressed, we also went to have lunch. Of course, there was also a game session. Although Li Menglong was not familiar with many variety show games, he knew the core tips of these, which is to be thick-skinned. As for cheating, , cheating is nothing, the more this happens, the more the program team likes it, okay?

"Then let's get started. Anyone who agrees with what he said can eat it, right?" Li Menglong is very decisive when doing shows. What he hates the most about Liu Zaishi is that he has to be verbose for a long time before each game. The audience is not a fool. The program team will also complete the rules of the game later. Does he need to talk for so long?

Yoo Jae Suk also has something to say about this. If he didn’t say so many words, how could he have so many laughs? Besides, one episode of the program lasts for more than an hour, and one shooting is often divided into two episodes. If you don’t say more, why delay the duration? Put ads?

The running boys looked at the two brothers with big eyes and small eyes. Not to mention that they were a little uncomfortable, but let’s start the game anyway. Li Meng, who was a little hungry, didn’t know what politeness meant, and he didn’t like this group of people. There's no need to be polite.

"He who lives with nine women, please have dinner!" Although Li Menglong said it with a smile, his words were cold enough. A group of running men stared at him, trying to be gentle at first. Just a little, so that everyone can take a bite. If you eat it alone, you will easily choke to death!

Li Menglong pulled the first dish in front of him. He didn't blame himself for being too lonely. In fact, the ribs were only two pieces in total. If a few more people came to share it, it wouldn't be enough to eat. He only ate it by himself to pad his stomach. , still divided?

I have to say that with Lee Mong-ryong's presence, the game progressed at a very fast pace. According to Liu Jae-seok's routine in the past, let alone what to say in the first round, after the completion of the game, they also had to joke around and tease each other.

But Li Menglong omitted all these miscellaneous things. There are so many games later, why waste it here? Besides, it is the right thing to fill your stomach quickly: "The following is the order of Lee Kwang Soo, you kid, take it easy, unless you want to be a comedian in the future. Got it!"

But after all, Li Menglong was brought out by Liu Zaishi, and he was still familiar with the routines. For example, the current threat was very suitable. The runners on the other end seemed to be aware of this, and each one spoke more clearly than the other.

Lee Kwang Soo was really hesitant. He wanted to take Lee Mong Ryong with him, but Liu Jae Suk on the other end couldn't let him go. But if he brought everyone with him, how could everyone get a fingernail-sized piece of the palm-sized potato pancake?

After gritting his teeth, don't blame him for being too cold-blooded. Li Guangzhu was the one who set the pace: "Those over 1.8 meters tall can eat!"

After saying this, the scene suddenly became a little cold. It's okay for Lee Mong-ryong to be alone. After all, everyone didn't have high expectations for him, but Lee Kwang-soo couldn't do it. Does this kid feel that his body is a little too tough? I'm going to let everyone know. Repair repair?

At this time, there was no need for Li Menglong and Liu Zaishi to say anything. A group of people directly started to suppress Li Guangzhu without any help. Fortunately, the potato pancakes were finally eaten in the stomach. It was not unfair, but this game seemed to It's a bit of a test of human nature.

After that, everyone really tried their best to figure out the conditions under which they could only eat by themselves. For example, Song Ji Hyo directly said that women can eat, and those who have filmed kissing scenes with xxx can eat; Kim Jong Kook, on the other hand, tried to focus on fitness, and whoever weighs the most You can eat those with the lowest body fat percentage.

When the topic can be extended to the artists they have collaborated with, then almost everyone can talk about it alone. After all, everyone has some lesser-known people they have collaborated with, and you can just name two.

The program team was really helpless. A good game was suddenly turned into a group eating and broadcasting show. This made the writers very upset and they all thought about editing this section. Fortunately, Li Menglong As a result of my conscience, I gave the program team a bad idea while changing the tape.

"What did you say to them secretly just now?" Liu Zaishi had a vague premonition: "I am the MC of the show, you can't hide it from me!"

"Hey, MC can be made by one person, and you show it off, are you a child?" Li Menglong said with disdain, Liu Zaishi would not give him face if he could, anyway, this is Brother, can your mental endurance be too strong?

The second half of the game is about to begin, and the show crew's eyes are full of schadenfreude, which makes the runners in front of them very uneasy. But it stands to reason that everyone is seventy percent full, so there is nothing to be afraid of, right? In fact, it’s perfectly fine for the game to end here.

"The food won't be brought out first, the rest is the same, so let's start now!" Li Menglong showed a wilted smile. I have to say that when the participating guests can influence the decision-making of the program team, it is really It’s just a bug: “Regular members of Running Man can now eat!”

"Huh?" Everyone looked at Li Menglong with puzzled eyes. What kind of new trick is this? Is he starting to improve his favorability? Could it be that all the previous ones have been edited out and not broadcast? Otherwise, why would Li Menglong be so kind?

When the one-liter bottle of Coke in front of them was taken out, everyone realized something. If everyone played games before to eat for themselves, now it's time to let others eat. They all ate until they were seven percent full but still... It’s not a pleasure to eat.

"I don't drink coke, you all know it!" Kim Jong Kook immediately took it out, almost like a relative. It's natural for everyone. This is not Kim Jong Kook's excuse, so his face became even more ugly. What should I do with this Coke? Divide?

The key is that it's okay for everyone to have one or two drinks now, but it's obviously just an appetizer for the show crew. Yoo Jae Suk really thinks that Lee Mong Yong is crazy. This is the home of Running Man, okay? The one who eats the most in the end must be Li Menglong, are they trying to hurt each other?

Of course, Li Menglong would not be so cruel to him. The key to breaking the situation lies with Li Guangzhu next. If he only lets Li Menglong eat alone, then everyone will probably be in a state of sharing the same hatred, but he is known for his betrayal. can you?

Whether it was for the effect of the show or because of Lee Mong-yong’s intimidation, in short, Lee Kwang-soo betrayed the trust of the runners: “SW artists can have a meal!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lee Kwang Soo ran away for a long time. In fact, Kim Jong Kook on the side was already ready to take action. As for the program team in front of him, he burst out laughing. At the same time, he also vaguely admired Lee Mong Ryong. He saved a game. This is not the point. , the key is that when he just communicated with the program team, he actually calculated Lee Kwang Soo's performance perfectly, which is a bit magical.

"Don't tell me you don't eat fried chicken!" Li Menglong naturally wouldn't let Kim Jong Kook go: "If you don't want to eat it, I can help you wash off the flour and oil with water. Do you need it?"

Of course there is no need for it. Do you still need to eat the fried chicken after washing it? Kim Jong Kook simply felt that the calories were too high, rather than not liking fried chicken, so the three brothers had no choice but to finish off a fried chicken. Yoo Jae Suk, who had just drank Coke, had already begun to burp.

Next came the moment of collective betrayal by the running boys. After all, Lee Kwang Soo took the lead, and the program was more interesting this way, so no one was polite. Song Ji Hyo straightforwardly challenged the highest level of difficulty: "Those who have been idols can eat Got it!"

It was obvious who Song Ji Hyo was targeting. Both Li Menglong and Kim Jong Kook suddenly turned pale, especially when the one in front of them was a large French stick. This thing could be quite practical and could be used directly as a weapon.

If he ate half of this, Li Menglong would feel sick to his stomach, so he could only start dragging people down: "Isn't Brother Gary an idol? He must be so handsome!"

"Don't worry, my group is just an underground group, there is still a certain gap between it and idols!" Gary said happily.

Of course, Li Menglong was not easy to refute. Just when he was about to eat bread honestly, Kim Jong Kook was reminded: "Haha, you debuted in a group, right? I would have forgotten if I didn't tell you."

Don't talk about Kim Jong Kook, haha, I almost don't remember it. No matter how popular his group was at the beginning and how unpopular it was, it can't cover up the fact that he debuted as an idol, although it can be said that it doesn't count. But can the Admiralty Congress reason with him?

When Li Menglong came up with this idea, he planned to hurt each other. His confidence was mainly due to his large appetite and the fact that he didn't eat much in the first half of the game, but he couldn't stand it anymore. Now everyone has to take him with them every time. He Have you ever doubted that you and these people have so much in common?

Especially the last one is Liu Zaishi. Just like Li Menglong has never been afraid of him, Liu Zaishi naturally doesn't care about him. Seeing Li Menglong's gesture of begging for mercy, he feels calm now: "Those who have kissed Li Shunkyu can eat." !”

At this moment, Li Menglong almost instinctively gave a negative answer: "I have never kissed Lee Soon Kyu, she and I are in love!"
