Guoguo's former employer is Rongding Media, while Tutu's former employer is Shuangyu Media. If Brother Xiao is unhappy with their behavior, he should deal with Shuangyu Media instead.

"Perhaps it's because..."

Xiao He deliberately dragged out his words, creating suspense. Sure enough, Xiao Chen was quick to understand and immediately asked curiously, "Why?"

Because of the sense of smell.

Xiao He chuckled lightly and answered the question anyway.

"Huh? What? Sense of smell?" Xiao Chen exclaimed in surprise, correcting Xiao He's words. "Wait a minute, Brother Xiao, you meant intuition, right?"

"Hmm—" Xiao He thought for a moment, then shrugged indifferently, "Pretty much."

The two people in front: ...

That's a huge difference!

However, Xiao Chen quickly provided the information he knew: "Brother Xiao, this internet celebrity couple was eliminated before reaching the top ten. They were eliminated in the latest episode."

"As for Guoguo, he made it to the finals, but didn't win the championship."

"And about the celebrity support you asked about before, Brother Xiao, they weren't the ones who started it, because given Guoguo's own situation, he was already a shoo-in for the finals at that time."

Therefore, Rongding Media does not need to do anything unnecessary at this time.

"However, according to their original plan, it seems that they intended to directly invite you, Brother Xiao, to attend the final competition to help out. In fact, their people even approached President Lin during that period."

Xiao He was abroad at that time, so Lin Cheng was in charge of these matters.

But Lin Cheng wasn't stupid. He knew he couldn't make decisions for the boss and understood that fairness was the most important thing for the variety show. So, although he had met with the people from that side at the party, he didn't agree to their request and refused it directly. He only told Liu Rulan about it after Xiao He and the others returned to China.

So naturally, this matter did not reach Xiao He's ears.

"I see. It's not that they didn't want to do it, but that they were too late."

Xiao He raised the corners of his lips in a sarcastic smile.

In order to win the final championship, the final competition almost directly escalated into a battle between several MCN companies.

And this competition, naturally, boils down to money and connections.

Inviting popular celebrities to help out is one of their ultimate plans.

Unfortunately, some fools, who almost didn't make it to the finals, invited a guest who, while not a big name, was still a celebrity, to help them out. And they actually succeeded, breaking through and making it to the finals.

But doesn't this mean we've already revealed everyone's hand?

His behavior naturally attracted the attention of the production team.

Since the show was already being broadcast live and the guests had already been invited, the production team didn't say anything at the time, but later notified their superiors to make a decision.

As a result, this perfect final plan was aborted, and the production team quickly modified the rules and patched up the loopholes.

As a result, Guoguo, who was originally full of confidence, and Rongding Media behind him, ultimately failed to get help from the guests and missed the championship.

Although I don't know what others are thinking, Guoguo and the others must be very discouraged. After all, they have invested both people and resources. What they ultimately want is the recommendation and platform support from the final champion, right?

As a top-tier live-streaming e-commerce influencer, Guoguo has already reached the limit of the traffic he can extract and cannot acquire more new traffic in the short term. However, if he can receive further promotion and support from the platform, he may be able to continue to rise and become a top influencer on the platform.

Don't underestimate these live-streaming e-commerce hosts. They earn more money than you can imagine. Some of the top ones can earn even more than ordinary celebrities.

Moreover, celebrities, due to their significant influence, have been involved in numerous scandals, leading to repeated crackdowns and the introduction of new policies to regulate them. In contrast, online celebrities, with their relatively smaller influence and reliance on platforms, have not yet had many of their negative aspects addressed on a large scale.

In the end, it's really uncertain who will make more money.
