The first episode of "Celebrity Games" received mixed reactions after it aired.

This program has been held twice, and similar programs include "Idol Star Athletics Championships" and "New Star Athletics Championships".

In the eyes of netizens, this is just a program for fans to entertain themselves.

Aside from fans, who would watch a sports competition featuring a bunch of unknown celebrities?

Isn't watching the official Olympics and World Championships more exciting and competitive?

When the show aired, its popularity surpassed that of previous seasons.

[How did they manage to get Shi Xi on such a low-budget show?!]

I don't know if Shi Xi has faded into obscurity, or if the show has become a hit.

Every step Shi Xi took filled me with doubt.

Shi Xi alone accounted for half of the show's popularity.

Most of the comments were sarcastic or mocking.

Is Shi Xi washed up? She's been filming a drama for ages and there's been no news about her; none of the popular variety shows have invited her.

[Since popular variety shows like "Happy Weekend" and "Dawn Team" didn't invite Shi Xi, she can only appear on these low-quality variety shows.]

[It seems so; Shi Xi's screen time in "Star Selection Girl" is decreasing.]

Haters, posing as passersby or even fans, started spreading rumors that Shi Xi had already faded into obscurity.

Shi Xi's fans felt a mix of emotions upon seeing this.

They also thought that Shi Xi would appear on a popular variety show.

I never expected it to be such a terrible variety show!

What kind of celebrity sports event is this?

That's like holding a meeting with a muddled pen!

Fans are dissatisfied, but they also want to control the comments section.

Looking forward to Xixi's performance on the field!

"Stop mentioning your dad. Even if the variety show flops, your dad won't flop."

"I'm a fan and I didn't even know Xixi was on a variety show. You guys are all so interested, could it be that Shi Xi is a closeted gay man?"

Fans didn't understand why Shi Xi was on this variety show.

But since Shi Xi participated, her fans wouldn't just sit idly by and watch her get criticized.

After the first episode aired, "Celebrity Games" immediately soared to the top of the variety show charts.

It even topped the trending searches.

The netizens who clicked in were completely confused.

Why is this variety show number one?

Are there any funny parts?

[Isn't it a bit too obvious that they bought trending topics?]

As you can see, the comments below are all controlled by Shi Xi's fans, and netizens understand.

Is it because Shi Xi participated?

[Shi Xi is awesome! This is my first time watching this variety show, and it's quite interesting.]

More than anything, I'm still confused:

[Shi Xi is truly lowering her standards.]

Why would this woman participate in the celebrity sports meet? Isn't that a group of newly debuted celebrities participating?

[Fun fact: Shi Xi has been in the entertainment industry for less than a year.]

Shi Xi's fans are tired of watching.

"Thank you all for the discussion. Because of you, Shi Xi will never fade away."

"Stop bringing up your dad. He only gets a few minutes of screen time. Is it really necessary to discuss it over and over again?"

"Look at Xixi's stage: Your Xixi is the ceiling of female idols in the Chinese entertainment industry, and she is successful in both movies and TV series."

Fans promoted the product while simultaneously controlling the online comments.

Just as the popularity of "Celebrity Games" was rising, the second episode of the live broadcast finally began.

"Celebrity Games" is a competitive event, with live streaming and recording occurring simultaneously.

The live stream started promptly at 10:00 AM on Saturday.

Besides fans and haters from various groups, there were also netizens waiting in front of the live stream.

The show garnered 1 million views before it even started airing.

When the production team saw this data backstage, their eyes widened in surprise.

"1 million views already? The highest viewership in previous seasons was only a little over 1 million. This show has already reached 1 million right after it started airing??"
