Chapter 048 Chapter 48
——Star Path Production Team——
The summer sun slanted through the gaps in the Venetian blinds onto the poinciana trees inside the house. The light filtering through the cracks cast a clearer shadow, casting the plant's leisurely, unfurling shadows on the white wall behind. A light brown jacket draped the cream-colored sofa nearby, and an open laptop sat on the table.
Lin Qianxia, clacking her high heels, pushed open the sliding door of her office, a cup of hot water in hand. She sat down on the sofa. Placing the ceramic cup on the black table, she reopened the official Xingtu 101 forum and read the heated discussion that had been going on there.
The photo published in the post that sparked heated discussion was taken at the end of the first performance when Lin Qianxia was chatting with Zhou Xiao. The person who took the photo even deliberately erased the other people. She curled her lips and was speechless.
It's obvious that this was done by the economic company of the participating trainees, but we don't know which company did it yet. Of course, if you really want to find out, it's easy. Just look at who Ji Shao looks like.
And they even went so far as to blame them for wanting to support Ji Shao and arrange for him to have a girlfriend. Lin Qianxia rolled her eyes. If the boss knew about this, he would definitely die of laughter.
It's strange, though. Don't the management company they've been working with know the production team's principles? Within reason, profits come first! Not to mention, if the production team could have landed such a talented photographer, why would they only let her film Ji Shao?
Opening the backend of the Star 101 official forum, it's important to note that administrator privileges for official forums like these have always been in the hands of the official team. However, the production team rarely manages the forums, leaving it to fans who apply for administrator privileges on their own. Many in the industry refer to this as "free labor," revoking their privileges when necessary and presumably ignoring them when not.
Lin Qianxia used her authority to block the original poster and directly deleted the post, noting: "Rumor archived." After sending this screenshot to Zhou Xiao, Lin Qianxia picked up the ceramic cup on the table and drank the slightly scalding water in one gulp. She closed her laptop on the desk, tucked it into her arms, and walked briskly to Zong Zhengqian's office.
Fingers tapped lightly against the glass door, making a "dong dong" sound. Zong Zhengqian, who was inside the office, heard the knock and immediately responded, "Come in." Lin Qianxia heard the sound and slowly pushed open the glass door. With a smile, she pushed the laptop in her arms onto the desk in front of Zong Zhengqian.
Zong Zhengqian was quite relaxed today, as she had already arranged everything. She looked at Lin Qianxia across from her with some confusion, wondering what her intention was in bringing her computer here at this time.
"Zhang Hongyu sent over the photos he took an hour ago." She tapped the computer, motioning for Zong Zhengqian to look at them. "Take a look at the photos, what do you think?"
Zong Zhengqian had a vague impression of the name Zhang Hongyu. A friend had recommended him to her; he was a skilled and reasonably priced photographer. After she finished looking through the photos on her computer, she was stunned. The photos clearly fell into two different styles, and Zong Zhengqian could sense a vague sense of familiarity in both.
Suddenly, a light bulb went off in her head, and she remembered agreeing to Zhang Hongyu's request. Zong Zhengqian couldn't help but click on a picture on her computer. The trainee's expression was captured quite naturally. This was a heart-pounding shot!
"Today, the forums are buzzing about our show's popularity," Lin Qianxia continued with a smile, observing Zong Zhengqian's expression. "And just as the first public release has come out, I think this is a great way to promote it!"
She leaned forward, looking at the computer screen, and saw that it was open with photos taken by Zhou Xiao. She tapped the mouse button and said, "Let's create a new model. Let the excellent fans take photos of the trainees for the first public performance!"
"New model?" Zong Zhengqian raised her eyebrows.
For the production team, this kind of down-to-earth operation not only meets the above requirement [amateur participation], but also increases the stickiness of fans. Having fans come to shoot is not only innovative, but also makes their own fan groups feel a sense of honor.
Lin Qianxia has already thought about it. At that time, a special section can be opened, and the fan clubs of each trainee can recommend 1 to 2 fan club members. Fans can participate in the voting. The fan club member with the most votes can come to Star Path 101 to take official performance photos for some trainees.
Even though the second and third public performances haven't started yet, it's still possible to confirm a photographer in advance! The official photos are for fans anyway, so you can't deliberately mess up other trainees' photos during a proper photoshoot, right? Besides, there's a professional photographer who'll take care of it, right? If other fans can capture photos as well as Zhou Xiao, wouldn't that be a way to give their artists a face?
Zong Zhengqian found Lin Qianxia's line of thought amusing, but she thought it was worth a try. Fans always complained about the show, so why not let the fangirls, known for their good taste, give it a try? It could also save a little money... Wait! That was just one of the reasons!
She nodded. "Let's talk to Pianran Xindong first, and then we'll see how public opinion develops. You'll be responsible for following up on this proposal!"
"good!"
…
Looking at the fans and friends who sent her messages of comfort, Zhou Xiao would be lying if she said she wasn't angry after seeing that post. Could she make such a conclusion based on a few photos? After all, public opinion can easily destroy a person. However, Zhou Xiao wasn't easily defeated.
She calmly opened the blog post, edited it, and just as she was about to click send, a message popped up in the newsletter.
XT—Lin Qianxia: The rumor-mongering post has been deleted [Image]
Zhou Xiao paused for a moment, clicked on the picture to take a look, then switched to a certain blog without changing his hand speed, and clicked send -
@Flipped · Ji Shao: 1. False. 2. Evidence has been obtained.
[Sister Xindong, don’t be angry! We all believe in you!]
This season, Shaw fans are really wondering, who is targeting my sister? If you don't like it, you can just die [please]]
【My heart is beating so hard, you’re so strong!!! Ahhhhhh!!! I love you so much!!!】
Who's saying the grapes are sour? Are they trying to use public opinion to get rid of Ping Ran Xin Dong? Come on, anyone could be a prostitute, but Ping Ran Xin Dong definitely isn't!
[I'm just passing by, sister, just like that! Even I, a non-fan, have saved your pictures, don't let it bother you, come on! ]
[The most disgusting kind of stinking bug who can't stand seeing others doing well, good job on my sister!]
[It's so easy to bully my family! Ji Shao doesn't have any screen time, and Xindong Jie is so strong, yet she still gets smeared. Why? @New City V Get out! What a crappy company!]

Zhou Xiao's blog post quickly garnered significant attention, contrary to what the original poster had anticipated. Netizens' responses were overwhelmingly positive, with fans and casual observers generally siding with the post.
At this moment, after the poster of the forum saw the blog post, his panicked mood due to the note about deleting the post and the blog post immediately collapsed.

Hahahahahaha OP, OP, you finally flipped the car [funny] You posted so many derogatory posts in the group by so-called contributions, and got so much traffic. Isn't this just like, hunting geese all day long - finally being pecked by geese

xswl didn't expect that people would really pay attention to your rumors~

I don't understand what the poster is thinking. There are so many rich people supporting her online and offline, why do you think such a rich person will ignore the rumors?

The contributor has cancelled 666

It's not just the OP. I remember that in the original post, there were several people who also made comments that led people to believe that falling in love is just a matter of cosmetics. What they said was quite unpleasant. Shouldn't they sue?
24L The iron must be strong itself
Reply to 19L: We've collected evidence, let's sue!

Is 24L the real "Pan Ran Xin Dong"?

Reply to 24L: Ahhhh, is this really Sister Xindong? A strong confession!

Reply to 26L: Yes, friends

Why are all the people above trying to curry favor with the friend who's in love? Is this the poster's apology post? Everyone, step aside and let me go first!

After seeing the blog post posted by Zhou Xiao, Lin Qianxia deleted some of the edited content and sent it to Zhou Xiao, discussing with her the next steps of the production team.
"Qianxia, can I send it now?" Pi Xia, who was sitting in front of the computer, asked helplessly while looking at his friend who was typing beside him.
"Send it!" After typing the last word, Lin Qianxia raised her head and smiled at her friend.

[OMG! What a twist! Did you film the heart-pounding scene for me?! This is very important to me!]
The production team has made great progress! Can you please post the photo in Figure 1? Are you trying to seduce me by posting a blurred photo? Is there anyone who wants to join me in stealing the production team's memory card? [Funny]]
[Hahahahahahahahahaha, the person above made me laugh to death, the memory card can't be transferred through, hahahaha]
[Damn, what a delicious smell! If any fangirl gets this resource, won't she be instantly promoted?]
