Shi Ying herself didn't expect that Qingyou's previous suggestion to have her participate in the parent-child variety show on Pineapple TV would be arranged so quickly.
When she first returned to the entertainment industry, she took the initiative to contact people she used to have a good relationship with.
Most people were indifferent to her, and some even deliberately didn't answer her calls. Only a very few people remained the same and even offered some help.
Since the variety show on Pineapple TV was officially announced, she has received a lot more contact from people.
Some people even tried to use her connections to ask if the variety show needed any guest stars.
After all, the presence of that award-winning actor and comedy star guarantees high viewership, which is why the announcement was made. Aside from a lot of people criticizing her, most people are looking forward to it.
Shi Ying naturally declined them all.
Qingyou also received many calls, some were probing and others were trying to build a relationship.
She also got busy. This was the first time Pineapple TV had done a live-streamed parent-child variety show, so she helped with a lot of the planning.
Of course, in order to boost the show's ratings and popularity, Qingyou took the time to look at the situations of the six guests and their children, and outlined a general storyline for them.
There's no need for deliberate acting; just highlight the unique characteristics of each family. What Qingyou wants is for them to show their most authentic selves.
For example, the actor's child is a fifth-grade boy who is a bit mischievous, so Qingyou suggested that they bring their summer homework with them.
Having a movie star help a child with homeworkâthat's how they act in real life, just like they do on the show.
When parents and children see what happens in the live stream, they will feel a sense of resonance.
Shi Ying's daughter is gentle, obedient, and adorable, which highlights her sensible nature.
Qingyou visited Shiying's home twice and found that the little girl was precocious and sensible, probably due to family reasons. She was usually very well-behaved and would take the initiative to help her mother with chores.
The other companies also had their pomelos highlighted to make them more interesting and engaging.
The guests, seeing the key points highlighted by each other, all agreed that they made sense and expressed their consent.
Before the parent-child program aired, Qingyou focused her attention on Shi Yuxu.
She often visited Shi Yuxu and drew pictures of him being trained by several special forces instructors.
When there was no past, she would have Shi Yuxu's assistant send her videos of him being scolded.
She started a serialized comic called "Shi Yuxu's Daily Life" on Weibo.
Because of the previous contract termination and confrontation, the Weibo account "Qingyou" has always been quite popular.
With the addition of fans from the original creator's account, this work account quickly amassed over a million followers.
After Shi Yuxu's comics began to be serialized, the number of fans increased dramatically every day.
The comments under the comics are always cheerful.
[I can't help but come here every day to see Lion being abused.]
Haha, it's so funny to see him looking so utterly hopeless after being scolded every day.
Yuzu's comics are so vivid, and the captions she adds are so funny.
[How come I never noticed this adorable and innocent side of Lion before? I always thought he was going for the pretty boy look.]
[Me too. She seemed pretty aloof, but I never expected her to be like this behind the scenes. I can't help but become a fan.]
[Lion, hang in there! Mommy's cheering you on!]
Qingyou doesn't want Shi Yuxu to follow a short-lived popularity route, but rather to take the route of a talent-driven actor, so it's better to focus on mothers and older female fans.
Shi Yuxu's popularity and fame also rose rapidly due to the daily serialization of her comics.
His former manager created a persona for him as a cool and handsome man, and he played the role of a cool and aloof academic genius in idol dramas. When he went out to participate in events, he was told to keep a serious expression.
This also led to him being labeled as aloof and unapproachable.
But Qingyou discovered that Shi Yuxu was a handsome boy with a sunny and cheerful personality, and was not aloof at all.
A cool and aloof persona might be appealing in idol dramas, but in real life, it can easily lead to dislike from others and limit one's acting opportunities.
That's why Qingyou drew this daily comic strip, gradually changing netizens' and fans' impressions of Shi Yuxu.
She prefers the three people she leads to be themselves, rather than deliberately creating a persona to act out, as that could easily backfire.
Shi Yuxu didn't actually want to continue with the aloof image. He used to find it exhausting to pretend, but his manager wouldn't allow him to be himself.
Now that Qingyou is letting him be himself again, he is naturally very happy.
Qingyou wanted to serialize his daily life comics, so she asked for his opinion first, and he agreed before starting.
At first, he felt a little awkward when he saw his miserable self in the comic.
But a few days later, he found himself checking Qingyou's Weibo comics every day, and would often burst out laughing with joy.
Reading comics has become a daily routine and habit for many people.
Even before Shi Yuxu returned to the entertainment circle, his popularity began to rise continuously. Fans who had stopped paying attention to him came back and asked for comics on Tiantianqingyou's Weibo.
This surprised people in the industry, who never expected that it could generate buzz and popularity in this way.
Many people marveled at how much more powerful Qingyou was than they had imagined.
Soon after, the military reality show was officially announced, along with its guest lineup.
People in the industry were not surprised that Shi Yuxu was among the guests.
They already knew that Qingyou and Agent Du had swapped resources.
Moreover, judging from the comics serialized by Qingyou, it's clear that this is preparation for Shi Yuxu's return to the fandom.
It's unclear whether the decision to launch the show via live streaming was influenced by the announcement of that parent-child reality show, or whether the production team of the military reality show had always had this idea.
After the official announcement, the guests were also notified that the reality show would be broadcast live.
The slogan they're using is authenticity.
This caught the guests off guard, but the audience was more accepting of it.
After all, watching a live stream is much more real and exciting than watching a recorded broadcast.
Some guests felt the live stream was inappropriate and voiced their objections, but to no avail.
One of the female guests didn't say anything at first, but on the day of the broadcast, she suddenly notified the production team that she had twisted her ankle and couldn't participate, so she had to withdraw.
After all, this show involves a lot of physical activity, and if you twist your ankle, you simply can't participate.
The contract stated that withdrawing due to health reasons would not be considered a breach of contract.
The director was stunned when he received a call from the actress's agent and couldn't help but lash out in anger.
This person definitely did it on purpose. Why didn't they say it earlier or later? Now they suddenly tell him he twisted his ankle.
He doesn't believe it.
But it's too late to find someone now.
Just then, a major investor called, specifically requesting that the actress not be able to participate, and that Shi Yuxu's agent should take her place.
If Qingyou disagrees, then Shi Yuxu shouldn't participate either.
Even if they have to pay the penalty for breach of contract, they should still force Shi Yuxu to withdraw.
If the production team fails to deliver, they will immediately withdraw their funding.
The director's face was grim after hanging up the phone. "They must have planned this all along. They actually used our program as a scapegoat to trip up Shi Yuxu. How despicable!"
