Three or five friends gathered, laughter filled the room, and the shadows of the old times swayed in the air. Two days ago, Deng Chao, Chen He, and Wang Baoqiang got together, took an intimate group photo, and threw it on the Internet, which immediately exploded the hearts of old fans. In the photo, Deng Chao sat firmly in the middle, and the two brothers squeezed him left and right, pouting and gesturing, squeezing his face full of folds, like three naughty big boys playing at home. This picture, at first glance, is a bit "spicy eyes", but the taste is full of warmth, who doesn't sigh: The feelings of this brother are as iron as the old hot pot base, and they don't taste after many years.

Speaking of these people, the first word that pops up in many people's minds is "running man". That show, which came out more than ten years ago, was stunned to play a new trick with variety shows. In 5 years and 0 months, the first season of Run Brothers was launched, and seven stars and a prop whose name I can't remember can not be remembered set off in a national boom of "tearing off famous brands". Deng Chao, Chen He, Wang Baoqiang, plus Yang Ying, Zheng Kai, Li Chen, Wang Zulan, all of them have true temperaments, there are no bells and whistles in the show, they all rely on on-the-spot performance. At that time, who in the whole country didn't know that "at ten o'clock on Friday night, watching the running man on TV"? The streets and alleys, the school field, and even the square dance aunts in the community are talking about "Deng Chao was tricked again last night". The data doesn't lie, the ratings of the first season are firmly in the first place in the same period, breaking 0% on average, and even rushing to 0.0% at the peak, which is simply a myth in the era of variety shows.

That day, as soon as the photo was posted, the comment area immediately blew up. Someone left a message: "Let's get together, is the soul of the running man back?" Some people shouted directly: "When will you shoot another phase together?" Ratings must not explode? This sounds like a sigh in my heart. Why is the first season of Running Man so popular? is not only because the stars are open-minded, but also because of the "truth". Deng Chao fell all over the mud in the quagmire, and he didn't forget to get up and play treasure; Chen He was so frightened that he screamed, and the next second he could make the audience laugh; Wang Baoqiang smiled innocently, with a little silly, but he could always come up with a golden sentence coldly. The program team is also powerful, the game design is simple but eye-catching, tearing famous brands, finger pressure boards, quagmire battles, every link can make people laugh. Do you remember that episode recorded in Hangzhou? Deng Chao was "pitted" by his teammates and looked loveless, but he had to rush forward hard, laughing so much that the audience almost rolled off the sofa.

But this photo also makes people's nose a little sour. Time is really like an unreasonable referee, blowing a whistle to blow people away. The seven-member group in the first season is now going their separate ways, some are busy filming, some are moving to the business circle, and some simply fade out of the screen. The running man continues, but the show has a new face, and the game routine has changed. The latest data shows that the ratings in recent seasons have hovered around 5.0%, barely passing, and cannot be compared with the glory of the year. Some people say that today's variety shows are like fast food on the assembly line, with exquisite packaging, and you will get tired of eating two bites. Running Man is no exception, the traces of the script are heavy, the laughter is hard and concave, and the "wildness" that makes people go up is missing. Do you ever feel this way? Looking at the well-designed links on the screen, I always feel that something is missing.

Deng Chao in the photo, the wrinkles on his forehead are so deep that they seem to have been cut by a carving knife, but his eyes are still so bright, as if he is hiding the stubbornness of the year. Chen He smiled innocently, as if time had not left any traces on his face. Wang Baoqiang, squeezing the pleats and trying his best to join in the fun, was so cute that people wanted to hand him a glass of water and let him slow down. These two people got together, and their movements and expressions were tacit, like a reunion of old comrades-in-arms, they didn't need to say anything, they understood everything with one look. They all posted with the word "love", which was simple, but it made people's eyes hot. In the entertainment industry, rolling in Vanity Fair, who can maintain this sincerity? But they did. Netizens asked: "Is there any new plan for this gathering?" This is a question that seems to be thrown at everyone, who doesn't want to know the answer?

跑男第一季的魅力，不光在明星和遊戲，還在那個年代的氛圍。那會兒，智慧手機剛普及，短視頻還沒霸佔生活，大傢伙兒還能心無旁騖地守著電視機，跟著節目笑，跟著節目鬧。節目組敢玩真的，明星也敢豁出去。記得有一期，鄧超為了贏遊戲，愣是從水池裡爬上來，滿身濕透還咧嘴傻笑。那畫面，至今想起來都讓人覺得熱血沸騰。反觀現在，綜藝節目多得像超市貨架上的飲料，五花八門，可真能讓人記住的，沒幾個。為啥？因為少了那份“豁出去”的勁兒。數據擺在這兒，2024年全國綜藝節目數量超200檔，可收視率破1%的，不到兩成。

At this party, the servants didn't mention the running man or talk about the past, but that photo was like a switch, opening the memory box of countless people. Someone sighed in the comment area: "How simple it was at that time, I laughed so much that tears came out." Some people also asked, "Can you guys run another issue?" It sounds like a joke, but who doesn't have any expectations? In the entertainment industry, feelings are not worth a few dollars, but they can make people's hearts move. The group photo of them seems to remind everyone: there are some things that cannot be returned after the past, but that sincere feeling can always be ignited at a certain moment. Do you also want to ask: what would it be like if they could get together again?

The scene in the photo freezes the smiling faces of the servants and the youth of countless people. At that time, the running man was like a bowl of hot spicy hot, the ingredients were simple, but the taste was so strong that it made people up. Today's variety show market is like a hodgepodge, with everything, but it lacks an evocative taste. At this gathering, no one knows if there is a new cooperation, and no one knows when they will be in the same frame again. But that photo is enough to warm people's hearts. In life, there are always some pictures that can make you stop and smile and recall yourself when you are busy.

This photo is like a shot in the arm for old fans, and it is also like a question mark, hooking people to think: What will they do next? Is it filming? Is it a variety show? Or is it just a meal and a reminiscence? No one knows the answer, but this suspense makes people's hearts itch. The entertainment industry is a place that is changing rapidly, but there are some feelings, like wooden beams in an old house, and they are not afraid of wind and rain. The group photo of these two people seems to say: No matter how things change in the world, some things will always be there waiting for you. Do you also have a moment when you want to go back to that night of laughing on TV?
