FWTS Chapter 141: Trouble-Makers + Black Holes (Part 1)

A high-end car sponsored by the show and a shabby seven-seater van, which the production team deliberately found and modified, appeared in stark contrast, forming an eye-catching scene for another round of filming.

Departing from the Feiyun Lake Scenic Area, they arrived at the next shooting location: Hongfeng Ancient Path.

In autumn and winter, when everything withers, the mountains of Wen County are adorned with red maples, giving it a unique vitality.

The Hongfeng Ancient Paths in Wen County are numerous and long, incredibly picturesque. Most were built during the Yuan and Ming dynasties, especially in the Ming era. Over time, with continuous maintenance and restoration, they have spread throughout Wen County. Even today, there are still more than seventy well-preserved Hongfeng Ancient Paths.

By the way, Liu Ji, styled Bowen, was titled Sincere Earl, posthumously named Wencheng, and Wen County is named after him.

The production team filmed the ancient path alongside the red maples, with frosty leaves and winter flurries flying together.

Even in this season, many red maples could still be seen, as well as many tourists. Strolling on such a red maple path was quite enjoyable.

Hongfeng Ancient Path is rare in Jiangnan. Preserving it is not easy, making it a remarkable sight.

The second shooting location began.

The director briefly introduced the Hongfeng Ancient Path and then explained the upcoming game segment: "On this Hongfeng Ancient Path, there are six quizmasters. You need to find them and complete their tasks to earn 'Auspicious Coins.' The number of 'Auspicious Coins' will determine the richness of your lunch and the props for the afternoon game segment."

After the introduction, the six MCs were divided into three groups: Tianwang and Xiaozhi, Huazai and Zhang Dong, Huashao and Hou Muyun.

"I don't want to."

Huashao distanced himself from Hou Muyun: "This guy is too troublesome, I definitely don't want to team up with him."

Everyone laughed.

The director smiled: "Then ask if anyone is willing to switch with you."

Unexpectedly, Huazai immediately raised his hand: "I'll switch, I'll switch, I'll switch."

He pushed Huashao to his position and stood with Hou Muyun: "You guys don't understand! The tasks are set specifically for newbies like Xiaohou. Besides, my daughter is a fan of Xiaohou. She told me he's talented in both literature and martial arts!"

Then he asked weakly: "You won't trick me as you do with Huashao, right?"

Hou Muyun: "As long as you don't trick me, we're good."

Huashao laughed: "A trouble-maker and a black hole, what a combo!"

With the teams formed, all three groups set off simultaneously to find the quizmasters hidden among the tourists. The MCs naturally needed to interact with the tourists, providing a lot of material and effects for the show.

Many tourists knew that "Our Seventeen" was being filmed here today and were very enthusiastic.

"Tianwang!"

"Xiaozhi!"

"Dongdong!"

"Huashao!"

"Huazai!"

All five MCs were very popular, and surprisingly, Huazai had a particularly high popularity, especially among female fans.

Soon, someone also recognized Hou Muyun, surprised to see him in this episode, which led to continuous screams. The reason was simple: most of the tourists here were locals, and Hou Muyun, being a local celebrity, was naturally well-received.

The six MCs greeted the audience and asked if they had seen any quizmasters.

"Over there."

"I'll take you."

With the tourists pointing directions, the three groups split up to search.

Hou Muyun and Huazai smoothly found the first quizmaster, whose task was to make the MC laugh within thirty seconds.

Huazai made him laugh in 3 seconds.

When they found the second quizmaster, they saw Huashao and Han Dong already there, completing a task that required the MC to recite a long tongue-twister within a minute. This task was undoubtedly Huashao's forte.

"The big droopy-eared dog from his eldest uncle's house in the south came, and the second droopy-eared dog from his second uncle's house in the north came. The big droopy-eared dog from his eldest uncle's house bit the second droopy-eared dog from his second uncle's house; the second droopy-eared dog from his second uncle's house also bit the big droopy-eared dog from his eldest uncle's house. It's unclear whether the big droopy-eared dog from his eldest uncle's house bit the second droopy-eared dog from his second uncle's house first, or whether the second droopy-eared dog from his second uncle's house bit the big droopy-eared dog from his eldest uncle's house first."

Huashao recited this 170-character tongue-twister in one go. The quizmaster checked the time. Each group of MCs had three chances to complete the challenge, and they had to recite it correctly within one minute. Huashao's time was 31 seconds.

Huashao is known as the "Master of Tongue Twisters" in Huaxia because he once spoke 350 characters of script in 47 seconds on a show, which was extraordinary. Of course, scripts and tongue-twisters are different. Though this tongue-twister was only 170 characters, reciting it flawlessly in 31 seconds was still remarkable.

Huashao obtained the "Auspicious Coin" and, with a flick of his head, looked at Hou Muyun and Huazai: "How about that, envious?"

Huazai was about to cry: "This is so unfair, this task is specifically tailored for you! How can we manage this?"

According to the rules, each group of MCs could accept the quizmaster's challenge.

Huashao pointed to Hou Muyun and said to Huazai: "Why don't you let your multi-talented partner give it a try?"

Huazai looked at Hou Muyun: "Can you do this?"

Hou Muyun raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Definitely, and I’ll do it faster than him."

Huashao: "Yeah, right."

Hou Muyun took out a newly acquired "Auspicious Coin" and waved it: "Brother Huashao, dare to make a bet? If I'm slower or can't complete it, this coin goes to you. But if I'm faster, the coin in your hand, hehe, goes to us."

Huazai hurriedly tried to stop him: "Don't be impulsive, young man! We'll be grateful if we can finish it within a minute."

Han Dong laughed and dragged Huazai away.

Huashao: "You need to succeed on the first try."

"Deal." Hou Muyun nodded, signaling the quizmaster to get ready.

"The big droopy-eared dog from his eldest uncle's house in the south came, and the second droopy-eared dog from his second uncle's house in the north came..." Hou Muyun glanced at the tongue-twister, then immediately asked the quizmaster to start timing. He spoke super fast, and while reciting, he took a quick look at the quizmaster's timer. Seeing that the time was almost up, he sped up even more: "or whether the second droopy-eared dog from his second uncle's house bit the big droopy-eared dog from his eldest uncle's house first."

The whole process didn’t sound like a tongue-twister, but more like rhythmic rap. He completed it smoothly, with the timer showing 30 seconds, one second faster than Huashao.

"You freak!" Huashao yelled, "Did the production team let you practice the tongue-twister in advance?"

Hou Muyun rolled his eyes, thinking they had just reviewed the procedures together yesterday.

Huazai ran over: "How many seconds, how many seconds? Hahaha, thirty, thirty! Amazing!"

The excited and stunned Huazai grabbed the stopwatch and gave it a big kiss.

Han Dong was dumbfounded; he hadn’t realized tongue-twisters could be rapped.

Huashao pulled Han Dong up: "What are you standing there for? Run!"
