"It's not a particularly big deal."
Liu Rulan explained: "The main problem is that one of the contestants invited a celebrity who is half internet celebrity and half star to help out in the live broadcast room, which has led to many contestants now calling for people in the final round, which has distorted the overall style of the show."
Originally, it was supposed to test the contestants' individual abilities, but in the end it became about their networks of connections. Whoever could get influential people and a lot of fans to help them had the highest probability of winning.
This completely deviates from the essence and core of variety shows.
Liu Rulan felt that if they didn't stop it, the variety show might cause a lot of controversy after it was officially broadcast.
After all, if established celebrities were to dominate in a talent show featuring online influencers, it would be unfair and would lose its original value.
Xiao He also became serious: "I didn't know about this, so He Junhao and the others were eliminated for this reason?"
"That's not necessarily true."
Liu Rulan shook her head: "Because the gap between the parties was still quite obvious at that time, even without the help of that artist, many of them would still have been eliminated."
The only regrettable thing is that the original fourth place was squeezed out of the finals by the opponent's tricky tactics. They finally made it into the top four, but in the end, they were squeezed out of the finals by the opponent's tricky tactics.
"This kind of behavior must be prohibited, especially in the final rounds," Xiao He said decisively, then suddenly remembered something and continued, "Is it someone from Mr. Huang's son's company?"
If the contestant is a sponsor, it's indeed inconvenient to target them directly; you should offer a tactful reminder.
"No, it's another well-known MCN in the industry. They are very good at creating internet celebrities, building an internet celebrity economy, and even connecting internet celebrities with entertainment companies at the top, further packaging them into stars."
"Their participation in this variety show is mostly to use it as a springboard to launch new internet celebrities."
Xiao He shrugged: "Then there's no need to worry about it, just deal with it directly."
"Cough cough—"
Liu Rulan coughed lightly, "Mainly because of this contestant's success, others have started to get restless. Little Huang is somewhat tempted and wants to ask you to help him out."
"Me?" Xiao He looked surprised. "No, I didn't even help my brother, why would I help him?"
It's hilarious. And if he goes up there, he'll be even more caught in a media storm.
"No, I'm not going."
Xiao He waved his hand dismissively, then put his legs up on the desk and leaned back in his chair to look at his phone.
"I didn't say you had to go."
Liu Rulan sighed, "I'm just letting you know. If President Huang contacts you later, just give him a perfunctory answer, but don't agree to anything."
The main reason is that Xiao He has been very popular recently. Although "No Bait" has passed the May Day holiday, it is still showing in theaters. Xiao He's role as Shu Yuxiu has become a hit on major platforms, and he has now basically stabilized his popularity and status.
If Xiao He is really brought in to help out in the competition, then what more needs to be said?
Kill the game outright!
No doubt about it, right?
This is what it means for true influencers to crush internet celebrities, and this influencer is someone with both acting skills and real talent.
Furthermore, Xiao He dares to say that if he were to go to the live streaming room, he would have more "work" than other internet celebrities.
No need to say anything more, let him first perform a chest-breaking boulder act for the viewers in the live stream!
Ouch, this won't do. It still hurts. What if I vomit blood? That's not worth it.
Then let's perform a demonstration of flying through buildings with our bare hands, and cosplay as the super Spider-Man!
Then they'll skin the lamb alive with a boning knife, and then grill it right there on the spot...
Oops, wasn't that a bit dangerous and bloody? Hopefully, it might get the livestream shut down.
Just as Xiao He's thoughts were racing and drifting further and further away, his phone rang.
