Cheng Jiasheng was completely dumbfounded, and what was even more dumbfounded was that Ye Lan actually said that she would listen to Li Tian in everything.

Since Li Tian prepared several of the programs, he had never seen them.

This was the first time he had ever seen this skit, and the director must have felt quite frustrated.

But there was nothing he could do. He knew Li Tian's current status and position; a small-time director like himself couldn't afford to offend him.

Fortunately, the result was good; at least this skit was no worse than any of last year's programs.

As more and more people took to the stage, Cheng Jiasheng's anxiety subsided.

After the rehearsal ended, Cheng Jiasheng immediately approached Li Tian.

"Thank you for your guidance, Director Li. I have truly benefited greatly!"

"Alright, you don't need to flatter me. I'm not in charge of your area; I'm in charge of the Canglan Opera!"

"Hey, you can't say that. What if Li gets promoted to minister someday? We'll have made an investment in advance, hahaha~"

Now that the two are somewhat familiar with each other, they've started joking around.

Especially after watching all the programs today, Cheng Jiasheng felt more confident.

Although the current Spring Festival Gala is the result of Li Tian's guidance, if the audience doesn't accept it, he will definitely be the one to be criticized.

After the rehearsal, Li Tian left CCTV with his family.

"Dad, look at Weibo!" Huang Yiyi took out her phone and handed it to Li Tian.

Li Tian took the phone and smiled when he saw it.

The post that appeared on Huang Yiyi's phone was a message.

The gala's message is that this year's Spring Festival Gala should be renamed the Li Family Spring Festival Gala.

It is said that Li Tian practiced nepotism and sought personal gain for his family's entertainment company.

Upon seeing such a post, Li Tian knew that it must be some people with connections who were not selected.

Spreading rumors online now? This kind of writing is so low-class.

However, many netizens were still swayed by the trend and started discussing it seriously.

“I don’t think Li Tian is the kind of person who would leave the group. We watched last year’s Spring Festival Gala, and it was indeed wonderful, so I trust Li Tian’s selection of people!”

"I agree with the original poster. The selection process for this year's Spring Festival Gala was indeed far too opaque. Look at the program list that was just posted; many of them are Li Tian's own people!"

"Indeed, I have doubts about this year's Spring Festival Gala. I feel that this year's gala will definitely not be as good as last year's."

"You don't even need to say that. This year's Spring Festival Gala is definitely not as good as last year's. I'd be grateful if it was even 70% as good as last year's!"

"I trust Li Tian's character. So what if he's a nepotist? As long as the show is entertaining, that's all that matters."

"I think you guys are just bored and have nothing better to do. They're a family of celebrities, and every single one of them is talented. You call this nepotism?"

"Exactly, they're a family of celebrities, isn't it only right that they take care of their own family members?"

………

Looking at these comments from netizens, Li Tian simply smiled and said, "Don't worry about them, let's just focus on doing our own thing!"

Gao Yang looked at his master and said, "Master, do you need me to help you scold them back?"

Looking at his apprentice, Li Tian was surprised to find that Gao Yang had such a violent side.

"No need. People can say whatever they want; it's their freedom to say what they want."

"Alright then!" Gao Yang immediately lost his desire to fight.
