Everyone stared at the director, but the director's gaze remained on the silent Lu Fei.
Lu Fei felt uncomfortable being stared at and rubbed his nose. "Director, why are you looking at me?"
"You're the expert," the director said with a smile, but his eyes became serious. "I think we need to make another rule."
Baby became nervous. "What rule? Director, don't tell me you don't want Lu Fei to guess this? "
"Of course, I've noticed it three times. The first time, he told you the answer, and you got it right. The second time, when Bao Qiang and Li Chen were arguing, he was very sure that it was the correct answer. The third time is this time. You don't need me to say it. "
Deng Chao stamped his feet anxiously. "After all, he's one of our members, and he's also a very important captain. How can we exclude him? Director, we're not convinced."
"Yes, yes, we're not convinced. We can't do it without our captain," the rest of the people said loudly, afraid that the director would really make a decision.
In the end, the more they were like this, the more the director felt that he had to remove Lu Fei.
"Director, if you do this, how will Lu Fei's fans react when they see their idol being excluded when the third episode of 'Running Man' airs on TV? You know how popular Lu Fei is. "Baby began to threaten.
In this world, Baby had always given people the impression of a little princess, and she was not the kind of little princess who was tricky because she had someone to rely on. Everyone also knew that she was anxious for Lu Fei, so she had no choice but to use Lu Fei's identity to force the director.
As expected, the director was still worried about Lu Fei's identity. He was a heavyweight guest in 'Running Man', and many fans had spent tens of millions just to see their idol up close. If he really insisted on doing it, the consequences would be serious.
The director thought for a moment and said, "How about this? Because Lu Fei's performance is outstanding as the captain, the production team is willing to show their sincerity to make the table tennis guessing challenge fairer. We'll each send a referee. How about that?"
This was good. If it was a referee, wouldn't they be able to get in through the back door? Baby turned her head and was ecstatic with the other members.
The director knew what they were up to. He coughed and said to Lu Fei.
"However, I have a condition. One side's referees are in charge of the other side's people. That is to say, the production team's referees are in charge of watching the running men, while Lu Fei is in charge of watching our referees and production team members to see if they are fair enough. "
Everyone sighed in disappointment. Li Chen thought that it was as expected. How could the director compromise so easily?
The scene where Lu Fei was near the table tennis table had to be cut out. When the three questions of Round1 were reshot, everyone acted as if Lu Fei had never been there.
The acting skills of these big shots were very intimidating. The flaw of Lu Fei's presence was eliminated in an instant.
The director nodded in satisfaction.
After a fifteen-minute break, Lu Fei was allowed to return to the main group. Everyone was busy pouring out their grievances.
"The two female referees are very cunning. I can't find any flaws at all. What should I do?" Wang Baoqiang scratched his head.
Deng Chao was still the same as before. He mustered up his courage. "Salad! I don't believe that my interference tactics can't make the referees panic. Hmph! Isn't our captain Lu Fei here? He's in charge of watching the referees. I'll see if the two referees are nervous or stressed. "
"You're really something." Lu Fei laughed. He didn't care if everyone treated him as a mascot.
Originally, he didn't plan to participate in this round of the challenge. His ability was too good. Compared to everyone else, it was like cheating.
Fifteen minutes passed quickly. The two referees greeted the running men's group members in advance. They knew that the three questions of the second round wouldn't be easy. Their eyes were shining as they stared at the hands of the number one referee who served the ball.
They hoped that when she served the ball, it would shake slightly. At least they could see some ambiguity.
The director said that the countdown would start. In the next second, Deng Chao went to the number one referee's ear as usual. He talked about the strength and skill of her serve from various angles. He talked about the Olympics again. Chen He listened to Deng Chao talk until his ears were about to grow calluses.
"Oh my god, Brother Chao, can you stop for a while? Stop for a while."
Deng Chao said without turning his head. "Hurt yourself first, then hurt others. Bear with it."
Unfortunately, the number one referee seemed to have a protective membrane. She directly filtered out Deng Chao's useless nonsense. Her hands didn't even tremble. She wasn't affected at all.
Deng Chao was at his wit's end. He was worried.
"Director, I want to stop."
The two referees paused at the same time. The director looked at him in confusion. "There's still twenty seconds. There's plenty of time. What do you want to do?"
"Director, I think the two referees played well. But it wasn't just a normal good. I'm talking about the real normal. It's the normal of an ordinary person. It's not a metaphor. "Deng Chao said a lot. The referees and the director were confused.
Lu Fei listened from the side. He finally understood the meaning of Deng Chao's words.
"You're saying that it's because they're playing so well that you feel the pressure to beat them?"
"No, no, no. I'm not admitting defeat. I just feel that there's something wrong with this program. Look at the audience in front of the TV. They're watching our reactions, but they'll definitely notice this table tennis, right? If you ask me, this table tennis challenge should be done like this … "
Deng Chao gave Lu Fei a look. Lu Fei smiled and was happy to cooperate.
The two of them took out two old rackets and a new table tennis ball from the sports equipment room at the side. They took turns to demonstrate.
"Uh, what's with this strange slow speed?" Baby complained helplessly.
Chen He squinted his small eyes. "This is the slow speed. Uncles and aunties won't be able to see what the words are."
Zheng Kai was happy. "Hehe, I like this slow speed. Why don't we just record it like this? "
The production team was silent. After half a day, the backstage crew came over with a sign to chase them away.
Deng Chao was listless, but when he passed by Lu Fei, he raised his head and winked at him. This was to ask him to pay attention to the props team. He hoped that Lu Fei could find out what was written on the ball in advance so that he could tell them.
But Lu Fei was really helpless.
He was in the men's team. The director was in the production team. They were rivals. How could he expose the words?
The referee took the ball from the director's hand. The director had personally written the words on the ball. Even the assistant beside him didn't have a chance to see the words clearly, let alone him. He didn't want to act rashly and reveal his unusual side.
"Come on!" Lu Fei couldn't help much, but his cheering was still very impressive. The men's team members cheered up. After the Round21 sign was placed, they paid close attention to the two referees.
"You guys want to play table tennis like a baseball?" The second referee held the ball in his hand. His eyes were full of excitement.
Everyone was stunned. Was this the rhythm of a declaration of war?
"Here comes the ball …" Zheng Kai found that the direction of the second referee's serve was not right.
He looked again. Wow, the ball was actually in his hand!
No, because his hand was sweating, the ball slipped down his palm!
Oh, just a little bit more!
