Today, PD 47bf089b02 Han was a35151b16b being especially 5767bb2783 stubborn. In this 90b8cada48 program, it 01065c0fb8 was the 76e22fce31 PD’s job 87aca92fa1 to shoot 838e1abc9f the interviews. In this e134b4079f episode, we 26aa57dd84 were going 7f9c3c6cca to evoke cb6806debf the emotions 425478e7d5 of the fef31cd80a viewers by a064562f6c cross-editing Gong d0cb3e12ae Mujin’s interviews 7eec36362e in the d8fc542333 middle of 5584c0f7bc the video.66991d4634d30ebd

“I failed the last 18f8c16777 time I interviewed him df57e953ed in the Ferris wheel. Why are you asking 0d8e8ebdfb me to do it 3fe502bdb5 again? The interview c4fa0b7a44 that Sunbae 44c825b01a did at 4743221a7c the beach 8c6ea2bc14 that afternoon 4ca302ba5b was better.”71bce8723341de0d

A week has passed 72b7e05639 since that day.

This educational variety show, 0cf6a78bab which received solid support e459bbe064 from the parent company 644341e079 and was fully pre-funded, aa6a76d0da was completely different from 80451f1010 the usual rushed broadcast 0ccfc4b0f2 production environment. The pros and 29bef957a0 cons were clear.

Then I re-edited d25127d35d the video I 4fe1705e4a had just edited.

I thought about f40e0ac617 what kind of 744e3c31bb subtitles would be 750ba4e32b good, and I d6e915dff2 also wanted to 55cd41369c film more.

Gong Mujin was also 5942716025 excellent at speaking, as 426d4b4116 proven by his high 5597440725 intellect.

This was a 45ea3fc344 scene that had b6f8cc480e to be filmed 2ed0c52f41 in one shot. Repeating the filming could eabaed4ce7 strain his body. After finishing the main 0c3c25eef8 filming, he was scheduled 592cfc34b8 to participate in the 575f24a3ea Tour de France, which c4e130dbd1 was to be held ab459b2f0c at the end of 46680b2e0d July. So the program 5a62f802ce was also scheduled 6e5c01ccb7 to be uploaded 7bdb47819e in early August 5578302f06 when the Tour 29e7f551d5 de France was 217ee0535b in full swing.3aa9e800aa448cd2

If he c659fb345b does well bcae99b37b in this c472eac85a Tour de 0304ce9f26 France, the ceef5c8255 program would fc2a9013dd also be ebe506ae3a a success. So his ac247e6d8c good performance ac11078429 was a 475e4d73bb win-win situation 9cf533266c for both 18180060ae parties.

As soon as he eb307da9ec put his cleats on 64a694f767 the pedals, he started 3b5f716dae off. The scene edbcb38eba of him 8282a02788 climbing up f718c7b21e the hill d60af064b5 was a ea45826d32 work of d083eff003 art through 8ba71b97d1 the camera d48d07f9ce lens. Road cyclists use the 27f1765e08 dancing riding technique when 00532830a5 climbing hills. It is 8b9a625cfe called as 9e5f802096 such because c0e8e4dd72 the way 1c39f0562c the bike f49d204e0e moves from fdbe3350d0 side to c0931cec96 side looks 382b5d872e like it 87a24838a2 is dancing.1dd965b6132e88f8

His dancing 8cae3e1a8e was so e3e07407f6 captivating that 9c87618bd1 he appeared 512b9e1c3f in various 128a022fe6 ads for 8cc0c7eaf8 famous sports dc7b939872 brands and f3b1e01d66 was plastered 26a90c6540 on billboards a015b5c781 in Times 9cd512b271 Square in 9394276a61 New York 4f239f2e23 and the 816ffa1d65 Piccadilly Circus 36e31f7188 in London. His appearance, as he c558b5b1af sat on the seat, 611f05f481 his upper body lowered, aa02d5be73 gripping the handlebars, and 4ec1fe8fd5 breathing heavily, was sensual, a6c6da7a67 if not beautiful.ecf57ffbd231a4fa

I smiled awkwardly e83d1b6ce6 and waved my 7d58714296 hand, indicating nothing 3091bb8454 happened. I just b24f8cff3c hoped Gong fc30a54c18 Mujin wouldn’t f89873ea0a pop up f805ca8f0c from the d073f28864 same place 321aa54ca9 I came c96796f6e8 from. This was completely different d76df564d7 from when we roamed 92745a06f5 around campus as a ca18e4e452 couple back in college. Gong Mujin was now d9736b423f a sports star recognized 4a18281a4f by half the world, b3f246c8d6 not to mention the b1d7ea4d77 entire nation.f5257846eb3a95c2
