Chapter 511: The truth behind Deng Chao quitting Running Man!

"Why does it feel like the faces of the Five Ha director's team have turned green? Brother Yu must have guessed the question right."

"Hahaha, I see a producer starting to beat his chest. The director's team is really this insidious with their questions."

"Exactly! The choice between Five Ha and Running Man is like a trump card. Everyone loves watching both shows, especially the first six seasons with Brother Chao; every episode was really funny, with hot memes popping up constantly."

"To be fair, when Running Man first came out, it was definitely a classic. After Deng Chao, Chen He, and Lu Han left, Running Man wasn't as funny anymore. If it weren't for Brother Yu joining, this show would really be unwatchable."

"Oh! You guys say that, but where does that leave my Brother Ji? You bunch don't deserve to eat the eggs laid by my brother."

"Hahaha! The legendary 'Chicken You Are Too Beautiful'—dead memories have started attacking me."

"What year is it today? Is it 2009 renaissance?"

"I wonder why Brother Chao suddenly quit the Running Man team back then; there must have been some hidden story, right?"

"Yes, at the time, as the captain of Running Man, he just quit the team inexplicably with one Sina Weibo post; it was truly baffling."

"I remember Brother Chao was very adamant back then, saying he wanted to keep doing Running Man forever."

"That's why this question is so hard to answer: does he have more affection for the Running Man show he recorded for six years, or has the new show Five Ha, which he's recorded for four seasons, become his new favorite?"

"......"

Before Deng Chao could make a choice,

the director's team interrupted the Five Ha group's conversation and hurriedly called Brother Chao up.

"Sixth round of the rapport test."

"Question ten."

"Does Brother Chao like the Five Ha production team more, or the Running Man production team more?"

"Damn it."

Upon hearing this question,

Deng Chao furrowed his brows and cursed under his breath.

This topic was far too sharp!

It was even more piercing than Lin Yu's hypothetical from just a moment ago.

This was no longer just a question.

It involved the deeper side of interpersonal relationships.

"This......"

The Five Ha group and Lin Yu were also somewhat stunned to hear this question.

They hadn't expected the production team to play so big,

actually comparing the staff of both sides.

This was equivalent to gambling with their respective reputations and credibility!

"Xiao Lu, how do you think Brother Chao will choose?"

Lin Yu cast his gaze toward Lu Han.

On this issue, Lu Han had the most say.

Back then, Lu Han had followed Deng Chao in quitting Running Man.

Turning around to form Five Ha, he must know the inside story.

"Hard to say."

"But if Brother Chao were to make a real choice, he would definitely like the current Five Ha production team more." ===== CHAPTER 1092 =====

"Why is that?"

Lao Jiu and Wang Mian, seeing some gossip to be had, straightened their expressions; they had never heard Lu Han talk about this before.

"Sigh! Honestly, the show Five Ha shouldn't have existed in the first place."

Lu Han gave a bitter smile.

Then, he briefly recounted what happened back then.

It turned out that during the sixth season of Running Man,

a small incident occurred, which could be considered the fuse that completely caused the Running Man team to fall apart.

Deng Chao, Lu Han, and Chen He also completely drew a line in the sand with Running Man and went their separate ways because of it.

Everyone was very happy during the recording of that episode.

The recording location was abroad.

Everyone was laughing and joking, immersed in the exotic atmosphere.

But they were suddenly taken to the UN headquarters by the director's team and temporarily issued a challenge.

To give a speech in full English without a script within two hours. At first, when everyone heard this news, they were still being playful and didn't take it seriously.

But as UN high-ranking officials and 500 outstanding youths arrived one after another, everyone's expressions changed.

Especially Deng Chao, whose English wasn't good, gasped in shock.

The movie *American Dreams in China* had already been criticized by everyone before.

But after all, that was a character; Deng Chao didn't care too much, as most of his resources were domestic and he rarely had the chance to use English. But facing such a formal and solemn occasion,

hundreds and thousands of foreign friends were sitting in the audience.

If he showed weakness at this time, wouldn't it damage the public image of Chinese artists abroad?

This point made every cell in Deng Chao's body resist.

This wasn't a surprise at all; it was a nightmare!

So at the time, Brother Chao repeatedly refused the production team's challenge.

But he was roasted over the fire by the Running Man director's team at the time, along with the cameramen.

He was forced onto the stage against his will.

From then on, a knot was buried in Deng Chao's heart.

"So that's how it was; no wonder three of them left at once."

"The Running Man director's team was too much; you can want ratings, but you can't make the artists lose all their dignity!"

"My feeling is that Brother Chao, as the captain and a veteran, must have treated Running Man like his own child, but he didn't expect that one day, the knife from his own people would backstab him."

Hearing Lin Yu's words, the Five Ha group nodded in agreement. Only then did they know the ins and outs of Brother Chao quitting Running Man. "But regardless, Brother Chao still has very deep feelings for the show Running Man."

Lu Han seemed to recall some warm things and smiled.

"Understood! Men are just like that; even if they break up, they sometimes think about the good in their exes."

Lin Yu said earnestly and decisively.

"Hahahaha."

These words instantly made the Five Ha group smile knowingly.

"Brother Chao, you can abstain from this question!"

Hearing Lin Yu's loud shout from behind him,

Deng Chao felt as if a white light had appeared before his eyes; Lin Yu had descended to the world like a savior, rescuing him from his conflict.

"I abstain."

Facing his old employer and his new employer,

Deng Chao still wasn't willing, couldn't bear to make a choice.

Abstain!

Just as Lin Yu said, abstaining was the best choice. ===== CHAPTER 1093 =====
