In the first season and second episode of ‘Extreme Challenge’, the members of the Extreme Team competed for the qualification of the successor. In the program, Sun Honglei first pretended to form an alliance with Zhang Yixing, and then stole the box containing Zhang Yixing’s gold bars while Zhang Yixing went to the restroom. After which, Zhang Yixing discovered that he had been deceived by a trusted partner and was extremely saddened.

(Actual filming location) This is Qibao Ancient Town, located in the southwest of Shanghai, at the intersection of Cao Bao Road and Wu Bao Road. The towering high-rise building is called Huibao Shopping Plaza Building, appearing like majestic giants under the brilliant afterglow.

(Actual filming location) The filming locations for the first season and second episode of ‘Extreme Challenge’: Qibao Huibao Shopping Plaza, KFC restaurant, and the subway station hall of Line 9 below the square.

(Actual filming location) Review of the scene: Sun Honglei and Zhang Yixing, the two ‘Extreme Men’, drove from Sheshan ‘with the gold bars’ to the old dock in the city. Passing by Qibao Huibao Plaza, they saw a KFC restaurant. It was noon, and they were starving. At this time, the two were penniless, and Sun Honglei could only ‘eat by face’, getting a meal at the KFC restaurant. Zhang Yixing took the opportunity to go to the restroom, but Sun Honglei became greedy at this time, took the safe box where Zhang Yixing hid the gold bars, left Zhang Yixing behind, and drove alone to the old dock in the city.Zhang Yixing, who was deceived, was on the verge of collapse and was disheveled in the wind for a while. But eventually, with the help of passers-by, he successfully boarded the subway and went to the next game point: the old dock in the city. (Still from the show)

After Sun Honglei and Zhang Yixing obtained the gold bars, they drove back to the city from Sheshan in Songjiang, passing by Qibao Huibao Plaza and saw a KFC restaurant. Sun Honglei said, ‘I am already so hungry now. I must get something to eat.’ (Actual filming location)

After parking the car, the two went straight to the KFC restaurant. (Actual filming location)

At this time, they were penniless. How could they eat a hamburger? (Actual filming location) (Still from the show)

At the counter, the experienced Sun Honglei stared straight at the waitress. (Still from the show)

Sun Honglei said, ‘You recognize me, right.’ The waitress nodded. (Still from the show)

‘Okay, the most important thing is that we are penniless now. Can my face get us some food?’ (Still from the show)

The waitress called the store manager, and Sun Honglei said, ‘Yes, can you give us something to eat?’ (Still from the show)

The store manager agreed, and Zhang Yixing said in surprise, ‘Really?!’ He couldn’t believe that the store manager actually agreed. (Still from the show)

Zhang Yixing said, ‘Just a hamburger will do.’ (Still from the show)

At this time, Zhang Yixing wanted to go to the restroom, so he said to Sun Honglei, ‘Brother, I’m going to the restroom.Sun Honglei replied, “OK, go to the restroom.” Zhang Yixing went to the restroom. Zhang Yixing was not at ease with the box containing the gold bars in his hand. Sun Honglei said, “Put it down, hurry up and put it down!” So, Zhang Yixing handed the box to Sun Honglei, and Sun Honglei said to Zhang Yixing, “Go quickly and come back soon.” At this time, Sun Honglei became greedy. He tried to open Zhang Yixing’s box, showing a strange smile. Opening the box, he discovered 10 gold bars inside. Thought: “If I grab these 10 gold bars, I can win.”

Zhang Yixing, who had just come out of the restroom, still didn’t know what was happening in front of him. Sun Honglei runs out of the KFC restaurant with a hamburger and Zhang Yixing’s suitcase. He opens the car door and is about to get in the car and drive towards the urban area. “He has already left!” Zhang Yixing can’t believe he has been betrayed by his elder brother. “No way,” Zhang Yixing still can’t believe it. Zhang Yixing walks out of the KFC restaurant and looks for Sun Honglei. He wanders on the square, wondering what he should do next. At this time, Sun Honglei’s looting plan is successful, and he drives in the direction of the urban area.Zhang Yixing, after a moment of contemplation, makes the decision to take the subway back to the urban area. Upon his arrival at the subway station hall, he finds himself without any money. What is he to do in such a predicament? Left with no other choice, he resorts to singing to earn money in exchange for subway tickets. With determination, Zhang Yixing eventually boards the subway train, heading towards the heart of the city. The scene comes to an end.
