@Shanghai Financial News V: #Star101 The recording site is littered with garbage. #On May 20th, residents living near Huashang Times Square complained to reporters about the Star101 show, saying the area was littered with garbage, like a garbage dump, and no one was cleaning it up. [Video]
[The video was taken by a citizen and shows a scene of garbage strewn across Huashang Times Square.]
[I'm not saying that the quality of star chasers is generally very poor]
[It's hard to comment, it's a bit uncultured. I usually put the trash in my pocket when there is no trash can outside.]
[Isn't this the same show that's been solely focused on buying buzz for the past two days? Just look at how much trash you are and then start marketing again!]
[…Excuse me for interrupting, but it seems this citizen himself doesn’t have much manners…]
[Stop talking about this. Can some people please stop spitting when recording videos? [vomit]]
[It has nothing to do with the quality of the fans, right? The program's initiator and mentors were officially announced on the 19th, and the trainees were officially announced on the 20th. The mentors are all well-known figures, so many passers-by will join in the fun, not just fans.]
[The above comment is hilarious. Not only did the production team lack self-discipline, but why didn't they clean up afterward? Are they living in the garbage like cockroaches? On a hot day, if you don't stink yourself, don't bother fuming others, okay?]

The Star 101 program, which was gaining momentum a few days ago, was quickly suppressed by this trending search. Originally, the next few days were supposed to feature videos of the trainees introducing themselves.
The order of releasing the trainees' videos had already been arranged by the program team, but after this trending search came out, the program team did not have time to react and did not stop the video from being sent. Many passers-by flocked to the Star 101 account through the trending search and questioned the program team under their newly released video.
@星路101V: #星路101# @星路101-Wu Yanyan V from Yangtai Media has brought his original work "No Words Required" to the National Producer. Come enjoy it together! Get to know him through his songs! [Video]
【Won’t the program crew respond to the trending search? 】
[[Picking nose] Have you finished cleaning up the garbage?]
[Shocked, this PR level is really bad]
[This guy's singing is as bad as the garbage on your show]

——Xingtu Production——
Zong Zhengqian sat at the conference table with a sullen expression, scanning the room with a cold gaze. Several photographers lowered their heads especially low. She slammed the report in her hand onto the table.
The report was thrown onto the conference table with a loud bang, and a pen on the table was about to roll to the edge of the table due to the impact force.
But at this moment, the conference room was silent. No one dared to move. They just watched the pen fall to the ground.
"Why don't you pick it up?" A cold voice sounded, and the two people who were closer immediately blocked the edge of the table in a panic and successfully saved the pen that was about to fall.
The incident happened particularly suddenly. After the team realized that the video had become a trending topic, they could no longer suppress it.
If this can be said to be bad luck for the Star Path program team, but yesterday, the photographer's memory card was stolen, which was a deliberate backup plan, it clearly shows that they were subjected to malicious competition!
Zong Zhengqian was feeling rather angry at the moment. All the footage captured by the photographers had vanished. She had initially thought this trending search was a boon for her, but she hadn't expected to be stabbed in the back by her own team.
As the Huashang Times Square has not been put into use, there are no cameras outside, but there are quite a few cameras inside because of the need to record programs.
"The rest of you, check to see where the problem lies." Zong Zhengqian paused, "Everyone must work together to come up with a solution!"
She knew this incident could have significant consequences, especially since the higher-ups didn't like this kind of news. The show was still in its early stages of excitement, and it couldn't be derailed by this incident.
A solemn atmosphere permeated the conference room, and no one spoke. Zong Zhengqian's anger grew even heavier as she watched these people behave like quails.
"Then..." Just as she was about to speak, there was a clear knock on the door -
"QQ"
"Enter"
Hearing Mr. Zong's voice in the room, Liu Zhen at the door looked unhappy and handed the comments under the Xingtu 101 account on her mobile phone to Zong Zhengqian.
"Which idiot is posting a blog post right now?!" Her face, already sullen, became even icier.
A pot-bellied man at the bottom of the conference table wiped his sweat with his hand. "Boss Zong, this is a scheduled blog post. We set the time a few days ago." He paused and said, "This is the first time the young lady in charge of the official blog has encountered this. She didn't have time to make changes."
Zong Zhengqian glanced at him. She knew clearly that he hadn't given any instructions. But the incident had already happened. No matter how she judged this person's behavior, she had to wait until the matter was resolved.
"I've had my people contact all the major companies," Liu Zhen sighed, finding an empty seat and sitting down. "These companies' marketing accounts won't be posting any blog posts for the time being."
For the time being, that is, if this crisis public relations isn't resolved in a timely manner, it will still happen. This is like a sword hanging over everyone's head, and an unspeakable sense of tension suddenly spreads.
At this time, the hesitant voice of a middle-aged man was heard in the room. He put the cigarette in his mouth back to his ear without lighting it.
The middle-aged man frowned and said, "Yesterday, there was a group of young girls waiting for trainees at the door. One girl even had a camera and wanted to take pictures, but I didn't let her and persuaded her to leave."
Zong Zhengqian's eyes lit up. With a camera, she must be a fangirl! Although she was persuaded to leave, she might have filmed the trainees cleaning!
She doesn't necessarily need a video. The program team can issue an announcement or a statement to clarify, but the best way to dispel rumors is to directly release the video to the public and refute it with a video!
"Do you remember the girl with the camera?" Zong Zhengqian asked Chen Jianfeng.
The middle-aged man, Chen Jianfeng, shook his head. He was not in charge of the filming of the program, but just happened to be there to maintain order that day.
Thinking about it this way, he felt a bit bitter. He didn't take care of what he should have taken care of, and he didn't take care of what he shouldn't have taken care of... Sigh...
Everyone was originally excited about the breakthrough, but after hearing what Lao Chen said, how could they find it?
If you really want to find it, you can, but with so many people, you don’t know how much energy it would take, not to mention that the most important thing at this time is timeliness.
"Otherwise, let's have the publicity editor make an announcement and issue a statement first," Liu Zhen broke the silence. "Then let Lao Chen recognize that fangirl. If she was able to come yesterday, she will definitely come again in the future."
Everyone in the conference room agreed with Liu Zhen. Timeliness was paramount. They should issue the announcement first, emphasizing the production team's stance on the matter. Then, they could have Lao Chen go to the door. With a little luck, they might be able to find someone today.
Everyone expressed their opinions, and Zong Zhengqian also felt that this was the best way now. She divided her forces into several groups, asked them to write more manuscripts for publicity, and asked Lao Chen to go to the door to recognize people, so as to hurry up!

Indeed, I originally thought that it was just the fans who were being blamed for their lack of quality, but now I feel like the trend has changed.

Upstairs, I have the same idea as you, the program team was sniped a bit badly this time, many blue Vs were left with topics
13L
I don't understand. What is the production team doing? Why hasn't they responded after so long? They even casually posted a trainee self-introduction...
19L
Reply to 13L: I was worried about that trainee... Now he's being scolded to death... The square is unbearable to watch [bitter]
23L
Ah...has this already affected my values...I never thought I would be led into this...

Report! The program team responded!!!
61L
After taking a quick look at the statement, I can only say that it is not convincing at all. What's the point of taking it seriously? And because there are no cleaners, they can only arrange the trainees to clean up the place right away... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, who understands? It's full of laughs!

Help, I'm scratching my toes...

It's so weird... I was instantly disappointed with this show and didn't want to watch it anymore (although I really wanted to watch the talent show)

【Topic】The program team’s statement has been ridiculed
Main post: The author saw Xingtu 101 on another app, and curiously clicked in to take a look, and found that everyone was mocking the program team's statement [picture][picture][picture]
I just took a few screenshots, and they are all mocking [covering my face and crying] This is more useful than buying any number of trending searches, haha

Star 101 program staff, don't read it, it's a bad review

dbq[Note 1] But this is really funny

Star Journey 101, can’t afford to hire a aunt.
The garbage piled up like a mountain, and the trainees came in.

Reply to 9L: xswl[Note 2] It rhymes a bit but also sounds a bit awkward

I feel like the production team is pretty... unlucky?
26L
Reply to 18L: There’s nothing I can do. I really feel so disappointed with the production team right now [angry]. They raised the bar so high in the early stage, but now they are suddenly under the spotlight. I doubt that the statement they issued can be better than what they wrote with my toes!
43L
orz I have seen it on the short video platform...
49L
Well...thinking on the bright side...it's considered out of the circle, right?
56L
It seems that there is no good way to think about it. I can only say that the show will definitely be ridiculed to death when it is broadcast in the future, especially the one about not having a cleaner...
63L
Ahhhh I feel so embarrassed, I just promoted it in my circle of friends, but now all my friends are sending me private messages about this joke
64L
Same as above...I'm done with love...I'm ready to find another one

WOC! You guys should go to Xindong’s blog! She posted a video!!!
