Top entertainment industry singer Shen Xingzhi rose to overnight fame and remained popular for a decade without scandals. His aloof and indifferent demeanor, coupled with undeniable talent and look...
Chapter 262 Professional
According to the pre-rehearsed process of the program, Ren Limeng continued to push forward the entire evening party. Her voice was as gentle as jade, steady and powerful. She stood beside Shen Xingzhi, slightly tilted her body, and smiled as she asked the four guests of Shen Xingzhi's team to greet the online and offline audiences first.
Shen Xingzhi was the last to say hello, but when other guests spoke first, most of the audience at the scene and even online were still paying attention to Shen Xingzhi and Ren Limeng. Everyone was looking forward to capturing a moment of their secret communication, even if it was just an ambiguous look.
On the live broadcast stage of "Shan Hai", the lights were bright, and in the scene witnessed by millions of netizens, Shen Xingzhi leaned slightly to the side, listening attentively to Ren Limeng's words, and then, following Ren Limeng's arrangement, he tilted his head to the other side, listening carefully to his teammates' lively interactions and greetings. He and Ren Limeng maintained a normal social distance, neither too close nor too far, and stood quietly together.
Maybe even the two of them, or the program crew, didn't expect that, even though Shen Xingzhi and Ren Limeng didn't have any extra eye contact, the barrage of "I hit you" in the live broadcast room still filled the entire screen. Under the spotlight, Shen Xingzhi and Ren Limeng stood quietly together, one as cold as a cold star, the other as warm as the sun. They seemed to have two completely different temperaments, but they formed a unique harmony, which blended perfectly on the stage and looked particularly well-matched.
Even Chen Xingzhi's long-time fans, no longer willing to believe that he was publicly dating, could only remain silent as they stared at the corner of the live broadcast showing such a handsome man and beautiful woman.
After two days of self-brainwashing and digging into Ren Limeng, more fans of Shen Xingzhi gradually accepted the reality of the relationship after they could not find any topic other than the so-called second marriage issue of "divorced from Shen Xingzhi". Some of them even secretly joined the "Ren Woxing" CP super topic. It felt good to give in to the bad stuff and directly brought out some true feelings.
The live broadcast continued. After Shen Xingzhi greeted the audience, Ren Limeng immediately regained control of the stage. She steadily controlled the rhythm of the interaction on the stage, and communicated with Shen Xingzhi and other guests about the stage and program content. She was familiar with the personality and experience of each guest in advance, so that every time Ren Limeng picked up the microphone, her response was just right.
Even when she was having a question-and-answer session with Shen Xingzhi next to her, Ren Limeng was not at all shy. In front of the camera, she talked to Shen Xingzhi openly and conversed with him, advancing the program process perfectly. Both she and Shen Xingzhi were concentrating on completing their work on the stage.
Apart from the pair of deep eyes that Shen Xingzhi stared at Ren Limeng in the camera, which could be forcibly interpreted by some CP fans as a "wife-staring" look, with a hint of love, no one could really find any ambiguous behavior between Ren Limeng and Shen Xingzhi that was unique to a couple. The two's businesslike attitude made the majority of passers-by and netizens feel that it was very good. The live broadcast room even had a barrage of extremely resentful comments -
"Please, can you two just give me a hug or a kiss for no reason? It makes me feel itchy. Why are Ren Limeng and Shen Xingzhi so calm, but I can't!"
"It's not for no reason. Aren't couples supposed to cuddle? How can they act so serious?! More importantly, they both look so serious, which makes me seem like I'm just being irrelevant. The party is a fundraiser, but the show is entertainment. Wouldn't it be better if they could just hug and make the show a hit?"
"Yes, yes, Xingzhi's eyes are so sweet, it melts the ice! This time, Xingzhi finally doesn't have to hide his love. The moment the camera swept across his handsome face and we looked at each other across the screen, my heart was pounding! As a long-time fan of Xingzhi, I have to confirm that he is really, really in love! Li Meng is so patient, she can withstand such a look without changing her expression, and her words don't even tremble. I admire her professional ability."
"We don't need to be so professional (serious face). Can the production team pay attention to the enthusiastic calls from the public and let Ren Limeng and Shen Xingzhi interact alone for a while, talk about their love experiences or something? Look at the rising popularity of the live broadcast room, it should have broken the historical high of the Orange platform, right? The production team should keep up the good work. If only Ren Limeng and Shen Xingzhi could kiss right now, I will support Orange Platform to become the top of the four major platforms!"
I don’t know whether it’s because netizens are too enthusiastic or because of the Orange Platform’s secret operation, but the term “Orange Platform is the first of the four major platforms” has gradually climbed to the front of the hot search list on Weibo, allowing the Orange Platform, which has already relied on the explosive ratings of the live broadcast of "Shan Hai", to easily win a round against several rival platforms in the public opinion field.
Ren Limeng couldn't pay attention to these details for the time being. All her attention was still on the stage. She controlled the rhythm very precisely in every aspect. When cooperating with her partner An Ling, Ren Limeng was not at all inferior. As the host of a large-scale entertainment channel party for the first time, even An Ling next to Ren Limeng couldn't help but look at Ren Limeng sideways, glancing at the graceful Ren Limeng, and secretly praised her in her heart.
One of the things a host fears most on stage is his partner's poor performance. Many languages require two people to work together in perfect harmony, and the right display and timing can only be achieved through hosting experience.
An Ling was a little worried at first. Although Ren Limeng had been a host for several years and was not a newcomer to the station, the hosts of the agricultural channel mostly did interviews and there were not many large-scale events. There had never been a program like "Shan Hai" with over one million real-time viewers. But An Ling did not expect that Ren Limeng, who was hosting such a grand event for the first time, remained completely calm, which even caused her to have many other concerns.
There was no way around it. From the start, Ren Limeng's stage presence was steady and effortless. For many moments on the stage, An Ling had the inexplicable illusion that this was Ren Limeng's home court.
An Ling straightened her back and was extremely alert. She felt the invisible pressure from her peers for the first time in a long time. As the top host of the Orange platform, she could not allow herself to be the control group for Ren Limeng's excellent performance.
The connecting announcements between programs are hosted by a single person. This kind of rote connection process has always been formatted and unoriginal. It only needs to ensure the connection between the two programs. However, Ren Limeng cleverly integrates real-time interaction with online and offline audiences into the natural advancement process. The witty remarks make the boring process come alive.
The enthusiastic atmosphere of the audience also made An Ling, who had hosted countless large-scale events like this, feel a little nervous when she went on stage to host the halftime show alone again.
It was also a rare opportunity for her to seriously demonstrate her professional abilities in such a variety show. She did not have the relaxed feeling of slacking off as she did when hosting similar variety shows before. In addition to pushing forward the familiar variety show process, An Ling had to work hard to interact with the audience and passionately boost the atmosphere in the venue.
Even Yao Xin and other Orange platform staff who were familiar with An Ling's hosting style and strategy couldn't help but secretly sigh that An Ling really gave her all in this show, and the two hosts actually rolled it up.
At a certain moment after stepping down, An Ling even felt relieved. Fortunately, she had decided to switch careers and become a producer behind the scenes. Otherwise, Ren Limeng, who was so aggressive in the entertainment channel, would definitely threaten her position as the top host in the station. It should be said that at this moment, she already felt the crisis.
The pressure is never just about fame. Everyone privately agrees that the only thing that is more frightening than inexplicable traffic is professionalism. Business ability determines the upper limit of a host's work. An Ling looked at Ren Limeng holding the microphone beside her, and for a moment she couldn't imagine where Ren Limeng's ceiling was.
This is terrible.
In terms of popularity alone, Ren Limeng has surpassed her and too many female stars. After a series of emotional entanglements with Shen Xingzhi, and the positive reviews of this week's live broadcast of the rescue incident, Ren Limeng has completely entered the upper echelon of the entertainment industry with an unstoppable momentum, and has put herself in a position that is infinitely close to a first-line female star.
All Ren Limeng lacks now is a representative work on an entertainment channel to make the audience more accepting of her career transformation. The Orange platform has already held a special discussion meeting and officially confirmed Ren Limeng's job transfer. The entertainment channel even discussed tailoring a variety show for Ren Limeng. As soon as the news came out, the investment situation was even more popular than expected.
Creating a new program for a host is unprecedented on the Orange platform, or in the entertainment industry. But in fact, Ren Limeng's current status has surpassed that of a simple entertainment host, and even An Ling herself can only sigh in despair.
Whether on the show or on the Internet, these days, Ren Limeng has been on the screen again and again, breaking the stereotype that the host is like a background board time and time again, and has also blazed a new trail for the host, which is difficult to replicate, but enough to be a success.
Besides feeling helpless, An Ling felt envious, jealous and hateful, but also a sense of inexplicable relief.
Apart from the cooperative and competitive relationship, she is also proud that an outstanding female host like Ren Limeng can enter the public eye.
"Li Meng, I hope we have the opportunity to work together again in the future. It was a pleasure hosting with you today."
The evening party gradually came to an end, and the finale performance was by Chen Xingzhi. Even though his separation from Hanxing Entertainment was a foregone conclusion, it did not affect Chen Xingzhi's control over the entertainment industry. All forces in the circle did not expect that after experiencing the public disclosure of his relationship and choosing to go solo, Chen Xingzhi's fan traffic was still strong.
In fact, data shows that after a series of events, Shen Xingzhi's fans are more resilient, and Shen Xingzhi's commercial value is still firmly at the top of the circle and cannot be shaken.
After leaving Hanxing Entertainment, Shen Xingzhi also has more choices and cooperation opportunities. Major platforms and advertisers no longer need to approach and please Hanxing Entertainment or accept additional requirements such as Hanxing Entertainment's insertion of people in order to cooperate with Shen Xingzhi. In front of Shen Xingzhi, everyone seems to be standing at the same starting line. What is important is the cooperative relationship itself and their sincerity in cooperation.
Of course, the Orange platform still had a slight head start. The advantage of having Chen Xingzhi's girlfriend, Ren Limeng, was self-evident. Even An Ling hadn't expected that, through her friendly cooperation with Ren Limeng, she would be able to invite Chen Xingzhi to perform at the "Mountains and Seas" variety show.
