Chapter 46 The jealous Gao Shule's live broadcast room was celebrating with drums and gongs...
"I was wondering why he hasn't completed the task yet. He's the only one left." Lu Lu shook her head in disdain. "Shu Le has completed it, but he still has a dozen or so spectators left to recruit. I wonder how he, a man, can be so bad at this."
Gao Luo is now used to the various words she uses, and thinks to herself, "Whatever, just don't get Lele scolded."
Lu Lu continued, "I asked him later and found out that he had already filled up the show on the first day, but later gave the audience to Shen Siyan. I asked him why he did that, and he refused to tell me at first. After asking for a long time, he finally said that it was because Shen Siyan went back and told her agent about herself, and she probably praised him, and then Shen Cong felt that as a senior, he should help the younger juniors on the show."
Lu Lu commented: "This person just gave in to other people's sweet words and couldn't get off the stage anymore. Now he can only pretend to be rich."
This reason sounds reasonable. Many people put themselves and the people around them at a disadvantage just because they care about their reputation. The problem is that if Chen Cong is a person who cares about his reputation, he would not have rejected Chen Siyan in front of the camera the night before and then quietly acted as a good person the next day. This doesn't seem like a good reputation, it's more like a disease.
Gao Luo further analyzed Lu Lu's words and finally found a key word in it - "agent".
Shen Siyan mentioned Shen Cong to her agent and praised him. If it is someone else, such as her assistant or a private friend, will the same effect still exist?
Most likely not.
The job responsibilities of an agent are to provide career planning for artists, negotiate business, and coordinate performing arts resources. Shen Siyan has a movie in hand, and she has been chosen as the female lead. Although Wen Cheng has almost been confirmed as the male lead, it has not been announced yet.
So what the outside world sees is that Shunwen now has a movie with a very good cast, the female lead is played by its own artist, and the male lead is still in the selection stage.
Chen Cong thought that since the outcome was uncertain, he could be the dark horse, but he didn't know that he was just a monkey being fooled.
However, these are all Gao Luo's inferences. She is not 100% sure that Chen Cong's goal is the movie. What if he is indeed the kind of person with high moral character and a charitable spirit?
It would be bad if she was wrong and thought the person was bad, so Gao Luo decided not to tell Chen Cong about the movie and wait and see.
On the fourth day, Xue Chen finally came back to film the variety show. As soon as he came, he went to apologize to Shen Siyan, because when he was attending the Fashion Week event abroad, Yao Cancan contacted him and told him about the program team's task, saying that Shen Siyan had to pull two hundred people, and she was so embarrassed that she was about to cry.
In fact, Xue Chen had been informed of this matter by Ning Heng before setting off. To be honest, he did not think the task was difficult at the time. There were only two hundred people, but he just went out and waved his hand, and hundreds and thousands of people came. But after hearing what Yao Cancan said, she suddenly remembered that her popularity was far higher than Shen Siyan's, and realized that this task might indeed be difficult for her.
Because he had caused trouble for Shen Siyan by asking for leave, Xue Chen thought he should apologize, so he found Shen Siyan as soon as he came and gave her a gift he bought abroad.
It is a bottle of perfume, a fox model from the animal head series of a local high-end brand.
CP fans in the live broadcast room speculated on Xue Chen's intention of giving this gift.
[I gave Shen Siyan a gift as soon as I arrived. I guess she was thinking about it on the way back. 】
[And it was only given to her!] Xiao Xue is a recognized master of keeping things balanced, but he only gave it to Chen Siyan! Does your intention have to be so obvious? Why don't you just stop hiding it? 】
[He gave me perfume. Perfume is a very personal item. It is generally not recommended to give it to friends you are not familiar with. But he chose to give me perfume. What does it mean? It's hard to guess~]
[In the eyes of the public, Shen Siyan is a pure little white flower, but you see, the girl Xue Chen gave her is fox perfume! Does this mean that Shen Siyan is more like a very charming fox in his eyes? 】
[The setting is quite interesting. Is there a wife cooking? I want to eat! 】
CP fans set off firecrackers to celebrate the New Year, but when the only fans saw Xue Chen sending gifts, they were so angry that they wanted to take quick-acting heart pills.
I want to stop being a fan, but I think it's too impulsive. I've liked him for so many years and invested so much time and money in him. It would be a big loss if I stop being a fan just because of something like this.
The big fan advised them in the barrage, [It must be Chen Siyan who asked Xiao Xue to buy it, and Xiao Xue couldn't refuse. 】
The fans below agreed with her, [Yes! Xiao Xue is not an artist without sense of propriety. Our Xiao Xue is a man of great male virtue. 】
[It must be Chen Siyan who took the initiative to get close to him. Otherwise, as a top idol, why didn't Xiao Xue perform alone, but had to perform some small plot with her. It's funny. Xue Chen has performed in so many concerts alone, why should he make wedding dresses for others? 】
[This woman is so scheming.] 】
The more they spoke, the more confident they became, and their attitude became better and better. They danced directly in front of the CP fans, and the fans of both sides had another big fight.
Xue Chen's agent saw the comments from fans in the live broadcast room and said it was impossible for him not to regret it. Those fans have invested real money in Xue Chen. If this group of people are driven away by him, Xue Chen's commercial value will inevitably drop.
Although it is known that one cannot always stay at the top, the agent certainly hopes to extend this period indefinitely. The agent planned to wait for Xue Chen to come back, have a good talk with him, and restrain his behavior.
Xue Chen didn't know that his gift had caused a small earthquake in the fan circle. Although he was indeed a little attracted to Shen Siyan, this perfume was not as ambiguous as the CP fans said.
Because the trip was so rushed, he had no time to watch the live broadcast or go shopping, so he bought this bottle of perfume on the spur of the moment at the airport. As for choosing the fox model, he asked the shopping guide which flavor was more popular, and the shopping guide recommended this one to him, saying that it was a popular model in the brand.
It’s not as weird as the CP fans say, he feels really wronged.
But the gift was still very effective. When Shen Siyan received the bottle of perfume, most of her dissatisfaction with him disappeared.
After all the guests arrived, each group began to perform.
Chen Cong, Bian Yuan, Shen Siyan, and Xue Chen were all in the morning, and Gao Shule and Xia Shi were in the afternoon, so they only had to wear glasses and watch the performances of other groups of guests in the morning.
Gao Luo had been stuck in the house for three days and was finally able to go out.
*
It was cloudy in the morning, and the mountain breeze wrapped in moist water vapor blew over the ancient village, making the weather cool and pleasant.
Bian Yuan was the first to perform, and he performed a set of Tai Chi.
With mountains, forests and swamps as the background and a sea of rolling clouds in the sky, he is wearing a white Tai Chi training suit, his face is clean-cut and his moves are also clean.
The audience listened to the gurgling water, felt the mountain breeze, and watched his performance comfortably. The whole state was very comfortable. So Bian Yuan got a pretty good number of votes, eighty-one votes.
The next one was Shen Cong, Paipai was his partner, and two other foreign actors were invited. The four of them performed a short comedy, or it would be more appropriate to call it a skit.
The jokes are well-made, the kind that most people can get. The audience laughed out loud and gave him a high score of 95 votes.
Next is the group of Shen Siyan and Xue Chen. The content of the script written by Shen Siyan is about a girl from another place who comes to Longkou Village for tourism and meets a local boy Xue Chen by chance. The two develop feelings for each other as they get along, but when they are about to break up, the heroine's vacation ends and she leaves Longkou Village. The story has regrets, but also the throbbing of youth.
Shen Siyan also filmed a special episode during their rehearsal, which was about the boy thinking carefully for three months and deciding to give himself a chance. He walked out of Longkou Village and went to Lincheng to look for the heroine.
This extra episode will be released on her social media account after this episode is aired, as an open ending to this slightly regrettable story, leaving the audience with endless imagination.
Yao Cancan has already thought of marketing topics, such as #The main text of the novel you are following is broken, but the extra chapter has a happy ending# #Who is so happy to have a sweet after-sales service# #Separated at the banks of Longkou River, but reunited in Lincheng#, etc.
There are too many topics that can be marketed, it's completely an idol drama mode. Just thinking about it, Yao Cancan feels that this CP is going to be a huge hit after this episode.
The cameraman who followed Shen Siyan and Xue Chen was very helpful. When they were performing, they captured the beautiful and romantic idol drama atmosphere that Shen Siyan wanted. The fans in the live broadcast room were quite satisfied with the performance, but from the perspective of the live audience, not only did they not see the wasted atmosphere, they also felt it was a bit nonsensical.
Because when the cameraman is shooting an artist, he will give close-ups, find angles for composition, and also look for empty spaces for transitions.
But what the audience sees is determined by their position. There are no changes, no close-ups, no transitions. It is what the eyes see.
When Xue Chen first appeared in the costume of a young man from Longkou Village, he really surprised everyone. However, many people in the audience had seen Xia Shi, so their surprise at Xue Chen did not last long. But when everyone saw Xue Chen's weird dance, the remaining surprise disappeared in an instant.
Because there are more than one hundred branches within this ethnic minority, each branch has different costumes, customs, and dances. Xue Chen was wearing clothes from Longkou Village, but was dancing a dance from another branch, which seemed a bit disrespectful.
The locals can understand his behavior because Longkouzhai is sparsely populated and remote, and not much information is disclosed to the outside world, unlike the other branch, which has a large population and a developed tourism industry, and everyone understands its culture. It is true that many people generalize and regard that one branch as the entire ethnic group.
But even though I understand it, I still feel a little uncomfortable.
In addition to the weird dance, the other thing that was confusing was the performance of the two people.
Shen Siyan studied directing, or to be more precise, film directing. Unlike drama directors, who focus more on stage design, film majors focus on photography and post-production, and require mastering the language of the lens and being able to create atmosphere.
Maybe their performance looks good and beautiful when filmed, but it just looks weird no matter how you watch it live.
The residents of Longkouzhai are relatively friendly. Even though they didn't understand what was happening, two hundred viewers still gave it an extremely "high" score of 152 votes.
Among the three performances in the morning, Shen Siyan and Xue Chen's performance was ranked last, which was completely different from what Shen Siyan had expected. When she heard the number of votes being counted, she was stunned.
Netizens and fans also felt sorry for her.
[Chen Siyan and Xue Chen's performances are completely at the artistic level. Do those who voted understand? If you don’t know how to vote, let me do it, okay? 】
[I admit that they can’t compare to Chen Cong’s group, after all, comedy is popular everywhere, but I can’t understand why their score is lower than Bian Yuan’s... Just the scene of these two people standing there chatting is definitely better than Bian Yuan’s Tai Chi! 】
[I think they were set up by the production team! 】
*
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Gao Shule and Lu Lu came on stage first.
Last time everyone only saw Gao Shule wearing opera makeup, and she was playing the role of a male lead. This time she is playing the role of a female lead, and all the necessary headgear and costumes are in place.
Gao Shule appeared with hairpieces stuck to her temples and a rhinestone headpiece on her head. Fortunately, the sun peeked out from between the clouds, its head covered with rhinestones sparkling brightly in the sunlight.
The lights shining on Gao Shule's face, coupled with her rare heavy makeup, made her look very different. Especially when she was singing, her figure was slender and her eyes were like water, and her expression was both dignified and charming.
[So this is what this sister looks like when she sings seriously, she is so beautiful that it drives me crazy! 】
[Sister, if you had told me earlier that you were like this, how could I not understand why Director Wang chose you! 】
[It’s too professional. Is this a program I can see on the kid’s variety show? ? 】
[Maybe because I practiced beforehand, my singing this time is much better than last time! The body movements and singing style are all professional. It is really amazing that he has acquired such skills in four years of college. 】
[It seems that Gao Shule is not obscure enough and is not anxious at all. Otherwise, if she has such ability, why would she hold it back from showing it to us? Gao Shule, don’t you agree? 】
[Thanks to the program team, it’s a good thing that they designed this segment.] Otherwise, it would be impossible to wait for this sister to actively show us her talent. 】
After Gao Shule and Lu Lu finished their performances, the highest score was given on the spot, 100 votes.
[One hundred votes!] ! My sister is so professional and awesome! ! ! 】
[It seems that the audience here is as tasteful as I am! Good, good, good! 】
[Keep a low profile. I think the neighbors are getting jealous.] 】
Gao Shule's live broadcast room was beating drums and gongs to celebrate the highest score in the whole venue, and the people next door were watching with their eyes bleeding.
[Why?] ? These people squat in the mountains every day. Can they understand opera? 】
[If you can’t even understand a simple love scene, how can you understand opera? You must be kidding! 】
[Could it be because Gao Shule "bribed" them? Yesterday I saw her giving a gold pendant worth tens of thousands of dollars to the child of the host family of the banquet. They would feel embarrassed not to vote because they are doing this for the favor. 】
[How cunning!] This is cheating, doesn’t the program crew care? 】
This time, Xue Chen’s fans, together with Chen Siyan’s fans and their CP fans, stood on a united front for the first time to attack the program production team.
The fans made the matter a hot topic, with some saying that they rigged the votes, some saying that Gao Shule bribed them, and some saying that the program team openly favored Gao Shule.
The fans became more and more outspoken and attacked the residents of Longkouzhai indiscriminately, saying that they lived in a dirt ravine, were poor, blind and illiterate.
This is different from ordinary fan circle quarrels. Attacking local residents is one point, and secondly, the other party is a minority. To put it in a broader sense, it directly rises to regional discrimination and inciting ethnic confrontation, which is much more serious in nature.
The public relations departments of Xi Que Tai and Ting Feng were keenly aware that if left unchecked, the situation would develop in an uncontrollable direction.
They immediately contacted people at Weibo and asked them to block the corresponding entries and ban fan accounts that made extreme remarks.
The advantage of doing this is that it curbed the development of the situation in a timely manner, but the disadvantage is that it further "confirmed" the evidence that the program team was biased towards Gao Shule in the fans' mouths.
So the war of words escalated into a conflict between fans and the program team.
It is better to scold the program team than to scold the locals, so the public relations department breathed a sigh of relief temporarily.
While fans were bombarding the production team on Weibo, Xia Shi finished his performance.
He performed an instrumental piece, playing Schubert's "Serenade" on the violin.
Gao Luo had only a vague knowledge of music and thought the melody sounded familiar. It should be a world famous song, but she couldn't name it. Then she heard that the melody was gentle and lingering, like an emotional confession.
Later, when I heard Xia Shi talk about it, I realized it was Schubert's "Serenade".
Xia Shi felt a little depressed because she didn't even know the name of the song, and obviously didn't know the meaning of the song.
Xia Shi's performance received 85 votes, and some of the people who voted did not understand it but thought it sounded good.
The rooms were re-selected according to the vote ranking, and there was basically no change, except that Xia Shi and Chen Cong swapped places. The other guests still lived in the original houses.
Because Gao Shule had a full ticket, she was given more daily necessities.
Xia Shi had taken three days off, so his house had been empty, so Chen Cong only needed to move his things over.
In this way, Chen Cong moved to Hexi. Xue Chen moved to Hedong with Shen Siyan.
While fans were "defending their rights", they also did not forget to support the couple, saying: "These two are destined to be together." 】
The fans of Wei could not tolerate this, so they came out to pour cold water on them and cursed: [They performed together, their scores were the same, and they were tied for last place. If you can even eat this, you must have been kicked in the head by a donkey! 】
A war of words was about to begin, and Yao Cancan, as an "anonymous" CP fan leader, stepped out in time to mediate: [What are you arguing about? Do you still want to defend your rights? The main issue hasn't been resolved yet, and you're already starting to make a fuss? 】
After these words were spoken, fans could only suppress their temper temporarily. After all, protecting their own rights and interests was the top priority.
Nothing happened the night before, but the next morning, the production team finally took action.
In fact, Xu Man knew about the incident on Weibo as soon as it started. He saw the trending searches and knew what those fans were doing. Later, after all the guests finished their performances, Ning Heng had time to see the messages.
He didn't care because there was a post-shooting interview that would answer fans' questions accordingly.
In the morning, the program team randomly visited local residents' homes to conduct interviews and asked them why they voted for or abstained from voting for those guests. Most of the reasons for voting were simply because the pictures were pleasing to the eye or the melodies were beautiful.
As for the audience, the most important thing for them is the content of the show. When they don’t understand the content, they judge based on vision and hearing. Another point is whether the performers have prepared carefully.
Chen Cong's comedy show is appealing to both the elite and the masses. Basically, those who voted thought that their performance was funny. The five people who did not vote did not get the joke, and to put it tactfully, the lines of several people sounded a bit noisy.
Bian Yuan has advantages in terms of visual and cultural aspects.
During the interview, several locals mentioned that they knew this was their traditional culture. Although they didn’t understand it, they believed that different cultures should respect each other.
Summer time is the advantage of hearing.
Music is the universal language of the world. Even if you don't know much about the violin as an instrument, as long as you have a good hearing, you can tell whether it sounds good or bad.
They also have a traditional local musical instrument called the Goha, which is also a string instrument. It looks very similar to a violin, but the timbre is different. The violin music is mellow and bright, while the Goha is slightly low. Anyway, they can appreciate the violin as an instrument.
As for why Gao Shule received all the votes, the reason is very simple. She delivered perfect results in terms of vision, hearing, and attitude.
When we saw her on stage in her formal attire, we knew that she had prepared this show very carefully, and from the styling we also understood that this was the traditional culture of another ethnic group. Based on these understandings, the audience will respect her performance from the bottom of their hearts.
Secondly, from a superficial point of view, Gao Shule is very beautiful and she dresses very beautifully. The rhinestones on her head make her sparkle in the sun. Her figure and movements are graceful, and her voice and singing are pleasant.
[In other words, Gao Shule is outstanding in every aspect! 】
[In fact, these local people who came to watch the performance are really simple and kind. Although we may have received different education from them, we can see that they respect the culture of other ethnic groups. 】
[People respect us, but some people’s fans are still launching personal attacks on Weibo. If the official entry is not blocked, those fans will be in trouble. 】
Those fans are dissatisfied:
[Yes, yes, yes, respect the national culture that they cannot understand, but treat the love stories that they can understand differently. 】
[A bunch of nonsense, saying that Gao Shule’s performance was beautiful. Isn’t our Yanyan beautiful? Xue Chen is not handsome? Just by looking at the appearance of the two people, you can't say that this performance is ugly, right? 】
[Don’t worry about them, we will continue to defend our rights! 】
Fans continue to defend their rights online.
The program team then interviewed an audience member who did not vote for Shen Siyan and Xue Chen. He said tactfully: "The two young people are good-looking. The young man was very handsome at the beginning. There is just one small problem. He wore our clothes and did not dance our dance. And the plot is a little bland."
Fans immediately shouted:
[Is there a problem if I don’t dance your dance? ? Then shouldn't Gao Shule and Bian Yuan get zero votes? ? Isn't this just making a ticket? It’s confirmed! 】
This person spoke very convincingly, and other fans immediately agreed with him and gave him a thumbs up.
Several other guests' fans and passers-by watched the joke:
[I fear most that people are both stupid and hardworking. I didn’t expect that the fans of these two groups are both stupid. 】
[I am a kind-hearted person. Let me explain it to you.] I didn't vote because Xue Chen wore the local costume of Longkouzhai, but danced the dance of other branches of this ethnic group. Did you know that it was a mix-up? 】
[Fans may not even know that there are other branches within this ethnic group and think they are all one family. 】
[They respect our culture, so naturally they hope that we can respect their culture. Who are you trying to annoy by wearing Eastern clothes and singing Western opera? 】
[In fact, I didn't expect you to adapt to local customs, but insisted on taking shortcuts. Now look, you've failed. 】
After passersby explained in detail the reasons why the audience abandoned their votes, fans of Shen Siyan and Wen Cheng finally understood the problem.
In the evening, the official account of the program team released the entire performance of the six guests from another perspective.
It was shot by the program crew from a fixed angle, a wide panoramic view, without any fancy shooting techniques, a very straightforward shooting method.
Without facial expressions, close-ups of eyes, and transitions to empty spaces, the entire performance of Shen Siyan and Wen Cheng exuded a neurotic awkwardness. The two people either stood upright and talked, or fought for no apparent reason, which made people puzzled.
[That uncle was too reserved. He just said the plot was dull. If I go out to see a show and see this, and I don't leave halfway through, I'd be considered to have a good temper. 】
[I have to say that the locals are really kind. 152 people voted for us. That’s really great of them! 】
[I can only say that the follow-up photographer of Xi Que TV has some skills. He must have received training in the crew of some idol drama. 】
[Chen Siyan, I really don’t have time to play with you anymore. You should focus on creating short videos and stop performing this kind of thing on the spot. 】
[Our Xiao Xue has been really harmed by this woman! If he had performed a singing and dancing show alone, how could he have come in last place! 】
[Xiao Xue has probably never won the last place in his life. This is a record...]
After finding out why this group had the last number of votes, the three groups of fans who had briefly united for the sake of defending their rights fell apart again, and the split was even more severe than before, and they started to tear each other apart on the spot.
