Chapter 231: 229, Your uncle is still your uncle (Third update)_1

Liu Erbao, with his mouth greasy from eating a cumin lamb wrap, returned to his seat and said, "What are you guys talking about? That... what about my song..."

At this point, Liu Erbao was almost too eager to wait, thinking about owning new songs on the same level as the ten that Yang Xi had, he was thrilled. After all, Yang Xi’s songs were still dominating the charts, and the quality of that album was simply too high!

"Hold your horses about your thing," An Si cut Liu Erbao off, "He’s about to risk his life again. Let’s hear him out first!"

Liu Erbao was stunned for a moment, "Didn’t we agree to take it easy last time? How long has it been since he climbed Heavenly Road, and now he’s risking his life again? What’s he up to this time? Seems like there’s nothing left to pull off!"

"He’s not playing with bikes this time; it’s parkour!" An Si spoke gravely, "But I don’t plan to stop him anymore, I want to help him."

Parkour? Liu Erbao scrutinized Ren He seriously: "How?"

Liu Erbao was a straightforward person, different from An Si. An Si played more the role of a businessman now, while Liu Erbao was the ruffian type. To someone like Liu Erbao, money and fame were never important matters, since he found it all too easy to make money...

Liu Erbao’s team always believed in putting their heart into their work, and the money would naturally follow. He had the capital and always believed it was to be expected...

An artist must carry the prestige of an artist, and Liu Erbao’s pride would never change, even back in the days when he could only afford boxed meals.

So when Liu Erbao heard An Si mention Ren He was going to try parkour, he was excited, "That’s so cool! How? Can we make a video!?"

An Si’s face turned dark at that moment, feeling that he sometimes just couldn’t communicate with someone like Liu Erbao!

Ren He smiled and said, "This time, we’re going to create an interesting video. It doesn’t matter if TK sees it as an extra reward or not, it’s all about having fun!"

Then Ren He started explaining his idea to An Si and Liu Erbao, an idea actually inspired by a Pepsi commercial made by the basketball superstar Irving in a past life. He disguised himself as an old man and played basketball with a bunch of young people. At first, he pretended to be unskilled and lacking in stamina, naturally earning their disdain.

But then he suddenly began to display his powerful skills, even dunking the basketball while in the guise of an old man...

All the young people were dumbfounded...

When Liu Erbao heard about Ren He’s idea, his eyes lit up. The video might not be as thrilling as the Knight duology, but it would definitely be interesting!

The next day, Sunday, Liu Erbao and the others split into two teams. One went to a decided parkour community activity location early in the day to set up hidden HD cameras before anyone arrived.

The other team was collaborating with Ren He on makeup! Recording the behind-the-scenes of the makeup process!

This time Liu Erbao and his team were still very meticulous, and it was only then that Ren He realized there were two or three makeup experts in their team.

In a typical commercial shoot, ordinary teams usually hire professional makeup artists to do the makeup for models and actors.

But Liu Erbao’s team was different; they thought that outsiders didn’t understand what kind of makeup they wanted, and any slight deviation in color would ruin the color structure of the entire video for them.

Striving for perfection to this extent was almost pathological, but all their clients loved their obsessiveness.

Normal shooting teams would suffer through being micromanaged by clients, complaining bitterly when amateurs meddled. However, when someone was picky about Liu Erbao’s videos, Liu Erbao only needed to glance askew while holding his cigarette, "Do you even understand?"

The critic would then fall silent...

It was simply because Liu Erbao and his team were too professional—so professional it made others feel inferior and admiring.

So it was a matter of course that people in Liu Erbao’s team would self-study makeup. When Ren He saw three burly, strong men surrounding him to apply his makeup, even his face turned dark...

But the makeup session lasted six hours. The white hairs were applied one by one, and Ren He found it hard to imagine where such stout men got the patience...

The feeling was like seeing a sumo wrestler stitching a cross-stitch, providing an extreme visual impact...

Layers of makeup were applied to his face, and slowly, Ren He could see himself in the mirror gradually becoming old, hardly distinguishable from a person in their sixties.

Because it was the end of summer, Ren He still wore short sleeves. Though he could wear long pants, long sleeves would have been too hot.

To ensure realism, Liu Erbao’s team meticulously made up even his entire arms and each finger, so now he looked just like an ordinary old man from the outside!

Ren He laughed heartily at his reflection in the mirror, "I won’t really look like this when I’m old, will I?"

With a laid-back attitude, Liu Erbao said, "It won’t be much different."

"Not bad, not ugly," Ren He laughed as he stepped out; his destination for the evening was the parkour venue equipped with high-definition cameras. It was the weekend, and those parkour enthusiasts were bound to show up there.

...

At nine in the evening, white lights illuminated the venue, making it as bright as day.

At the venue, over twenty people were training—leg stretches, basic gorilla jumps, cat pounces, and other moves—looking quite skilled.

They ranged in age from teenagers to people in their twenties, the atmosphere was good, and everyone was working hard.

Ren He got out of the car from a distance; he ambled into the venue and silently watched the group train, at that moment a sixty-year-old man!

As he watched, someone suddenly chuckled at Ren He, "Old man, what are you watching? Do you want to give it a try too?"

The speaker was the leader of the venue, and Liu Erbao’s team’s makeup job was so professional, so detailed that one couldn’t spot a single flaw!

Ren He, with a raspy voice, said, "I used to do these things back in my day. You were probably still playing with mud when I did."

Everyone in the venue stopped, "Haha, old man, you’re quite the character. Did you do parkour decades ago?"

"Why not? What’s wrong, think less of me because of my age?" Ren He asked with an aged voice.

In fact, he felt quite cool, playing an old man for the first time...

A young, energetic guy couldn’t stand it and laughed, "Then show us a thing or two, old man?"

"Chen Fan! Go train over there!" the leader suddenly said sternly. Having a young guy compete with an old man was not right; if the elder got hurt during the activity, who would be responsible?

Ren He was amused, waiting for just that remark. He suppressed his laughter and seriously, speaking in an old-man tone, said, "Alright, today the old man will show you a thing or two; let’s see if the old man still has it in him!"

Why do I feel like I’m the one being taken advantage of... Suddenly, everyone at the venue began to entertain this notion...

Watching Ren He start to do warm-ups leisurely, he seemed just like any other less nimble elderly person, hardly able to bend at the waist during stretching exercises.

People were amused, "Old timer, don’t overexert yourself. You don’t seem like you’re about to show us anything; just take it easy! Watching us do parkour will let you reminisce about your youth!"

Reward for extra, say it and do it
