Yunhai Terrace, 6:30 pm.
Yin Jian sat in his office with a calm expression, neither happy nor worried.
The past week was a week of rapid growth and maturity for him.
Before the show "This is Hot Dance" was broadcast, he was full of confidence and wanted to completely defeat Fang Xiaole, avenge his previous defeat, and become the first director in China to have a show break the 6-point mark.
Two weeks ago, after two episodes of "Hot Dance" were aired and the ratings were far ahead and just one step away from breaking 6, his confidence reached its peak and he began to swell up.
A week ago, "Hot Dance" suffered a heavy blow when it was about to break 6, and the ratings plummeted to below 5.7. It could only watch its biggest rival cross the chasm in one step.
From then on, he and Fang Xiaole were no longer on the same level, and he could only look up to him.
This roller coaster-like painful experience caused Yin Jian to collapse mentally.
However, he finally made it through.
After learning from his mistakes, Yin Jian moved the recording venue for the new episode outdoors.
This is a first of its kind program and a very good innovation.
Moreover, after deep reflection, Yin Jian found the root cause of the decline in the program's ratings - too much emphasis on hype and controversy, and a lack of sincerity in the dance itself.
So starting from this episode at Genting Mountain, Yin Jian overturned the previous program plan and remade a new plan overnight.
In this new plan, dance competition is re-established as the core of the program.
The judges were also replaced. The judges from the first two episodes who were only good at talking nonsense were replaced and several real dancers were invited.
At the same time, the requirements for each guest on stage are also higher. Even big names like Chen Wei need to choreograph a dance that is truly up to standard, otherwise they will be eliminated.
The competition system is completely fair, open and transparent. In addition to the judges' more professional scoring, the scores of every audience member on site will also be displayed truthfully, and a notary from the Yunhai City Notary Office has been invited to the site for supervision.
This series of changes were also promptly released to the official Weibo of Yunhai TV and the program team through a new promotional video, allowing many viewers who were somewhat disappointed with "Hot Dance" to regain some expectations for the program.
Although I don’t expect to break six in the next episode, or even surpass Fang Xiaole, at least I have reshaped myself and found my original intention to do the show well.
As long as you take the right path, the results will naturally be good.
There are still two and a half hours until the fourth episode, which has been revamped, is aired. Perhaps this is also my chance to get up and start over.
Yin Jian thought so.
Bang!
Just as Yin Jian was lost in thought, his mind as calm as water, the office door was suddenly pushed open and assistant director Zhou Li ran in in a panic.
"Director Yin, something bad has happened! Something bad has happened!"
Yin Jian opened his eyes, his voice filled with anger:
"Why didn't you knock?"
Zhou Li, who was usually very good at "guessing his superiors' intentions", was completely lost at this moment. He didn't notice Director Yin's dissatisfaction at all and continued to shout:
"Director Yin, something's happened, something serious! Please check online!"
Yin Jian was stunned. Seeing Zhou Li's anxious expression and pale face, he didn't care about this guy's rudeness anymore. He quickly took out his mobile phone and went into Weibo.
There were several "explosions" in the hot searches, indicating that there was a shocking piece of news on the Internet today.
Yin Jian's heart skipped a beat when he discovered that Lu Mingyue's name was in the headlines of these hot searches.
"What happened?"
Yin Jian clicked on the hot search list, and his vision suddenly went dark, and his phone almost fell to the ground.
Today is destined to be the day that Lu Mingyue will be remembered by everyone, because he alone occupied the top three spots on the hot search list, even surpassing several superstars.
However, I believe no one would envy such a limelight, because the top three hot search titles are as follows:
The most searched topic is that Lu Mingyue made a fan pregnant.
The second most searched topic is Lu Mingyue’s master’s thesis plagiarism.
The third most searched topic is the confirmation of Lu Mingyue’s fraudulent behavior.
Yin Jian looked up at Zhou Li, his voice trembling: "What on earth is going on?"
He no longer had the courage to click on these trending searches to view them one by one.
Zhou Li's body was shaking, and his forehead was covered with sweat. He was a little unsteady, and he held on to the table tremblingly, sat down on the chair, took a breath, and then began to tell the story.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the famous paparazzi "Zhaxiong Studio" released two photos of Lu Mingyue slapping a pregnant woman and Lu Mingyue's agent giving the pregnant woman a bank card.
While public opinion was in an uproar, fans were still trying to clear their name.
At 5:30 in the afternoon, Zhaxiong Studio posted another Weibo post, which was Lu Mingyue’s master’s thesis from a few years ago.
This paper is over 90% similar to the paper written by a senior in the previous year. Zhaxiong Studio was obviously well prepared and posted all the similarities between the two papers on Weibo.
Academic fraud is no longer just a problem in the entertainment industry. The official Weibo account of China University of Political Science and Law took action and directly tagged Kyoto University, where Lu Mingyue once studied.
Kyoto University acted quickly, issuing a notice in less than half an hour, confirming that Lu Mingyue's paper was indeed plagiarized and revoking his graduation certificate and degree certificate.
At the same time, it apologized to the public, stated that it would be more rigorous in academic review in the future, and severely condemned the blatant plagiarism of a certain public figure.
It has to be said that Kyoto University's crisis public relations is indeed first-class. This clear statement immediately minimized its own losses, and at the same time directly confirmed that Lu Mingyue had plagiarized the paper.
The series of unexpected events in just half an hour left netizens overwhelmed. Before they had time to digest the news, they discovered that this feast of gossip had just begun.
