After Ai Xiaosu left, Chu Lanwen used her aunt's connections to contact another investor in the program.
Although he can't compare to Huo Xingchen, it shouldn't be a problem to squeeze one person in.
She also briefly explained her considerations.
In any case, whether Ai Xiaosu becomes popular through normal means or through controversy, it will definitely be more beneficial than harmful to the production team and investors.
After all, the fact that Qingyou is associated with a former artist makes this topic a huge hit.
The investor agreed immediately and then contacted Director Li.
Director Li also saw the buzz that Ai Xiaosu's participation would generate, but he didn't make a decision immediately. Instead, he called Huo Xingchen to ask for his opinion.
He had a good impression of Qingyou and didn't want to fall out with her because of Ai Xiaosu.
When the call was made, Huo Xingchen was having lunch with Qingyou.
After listening to Director Li's words, Huo Xingchen asked him to wait a moment and then looked up to tell Qingyou about it.
Then he asked, "Yoyo, should we let her participate?"
Qingyou quickly guessed Chu Lanwen's plan after hearing this, and said, "If she wants to participate, then let her participate."
They just want to put her down or ride her coattails.
Since that's the case, she'll grant their request, but she shouldn't blame them if they suffer the consequences.
Huo Xingchen had a similar idea, so he said to Director Li, "Then let her participate."
They even specifically emphasized, "When promoting, we can use the fact that Qingyou is her former agent to boost the buzz."
"Ai Xiaosu's current agent probably shares the same idea."
Director Li said with a smile, "Definitely, they want to ride the wave of pomelo popularity."
"Since you two agree, then I'll let her come."
He heard everything clearly on the phone, including how Huo Xingchen consulted Qingyou.
It feels like Qingyou is Huo Xingchen's CEO.
Rumors had circulated before that the two had a close relationship, and now it seems that it really is true.
However, it's normal for Huo Xingchen to be interested in a woman as beautiful and talented as Qingyou.
After hanging up the phone, Director Li told Ai Xiaosu to come and sign the contract.
On the other side.
Huo Xingchen peeled a plate of crab meat for Qingyou. "Is Chu Lanwen planning to make Ai Xiaosu take the controversial route?"
Taking the normal route, there's no way you can surpass her Youyou.
If her strength and likability are inferior, then as a treacherous ingrate who betrays Qingyou, Ai Xiaosu is definitely going to be severely criticized.
Being harshly criticized is also a form of generating buzz.
Some people are now taking a different approach, using negative publicity to generate traffic and popularity.
They were initially heavily criticized, but through the team's operations and manipulation, they managed to clear their name by doing certain things or changing their image.
Indeed, some people have succeeded. They started as unknown celebrities, were frequently criticized and made it to the top of trending searches, and became well-known to the general public.
Then, the story is reversed, and the person goes from being universally disliked to having many people turn from haters to fans and start liking them.
He guessed that Chu Lanwen and her team probably wanted to do just that.
The goal was to make Ai Xiaosu quickly gain popularity and become an internet sensation.
Qingyou nodded, "That's most likely the case."
Although Chu Lanwen is just an agent, she has money and a powerful aunt who arranged a team for her to dabble in the entertainment industry.
Therefore, in addition to utilizing the resources in her dreams, Chu Lanwen also had someone specifically advising her.
Qingyou smiled meaningfully again: "Since Chu Lanwen wants to play, then we'll play along with her."
"If we're going to make fun of ourselves, besides our poor performance, Chu Lanwen might also want Ai Xiaosu to get close to Shi Yuxu. If we can create a CP (couple pairing) dynamic, it will be even easier for her to become famous despite the controversy."
"The worst part is that it disgusts me."
"But I think it's great. The show's popularity is at its peak right now, and it might gradually decline in the next few episodes, but with Ai Xiaosu joining, it's different."
"Chu Lanwen and Director Li both know how to create hype, which actually allows Shi Yuxu to benefit from it."
Her departure from the show brought it to its peak popularity.
The show's popularity will definitely decline after that.
It's not that she's really that indispensable, but rather that the highlights of these kinds of shows are relatively fixed, and the popularity will quickly drop back to a stable point.
The final ratings will be good, but it's unlikely to skyrocket again.
But now Chu Lanwen has presented an opportunity for a surge in viewership.
With the show's high ratings, Shi Yuxu's popularity naturally rose as well.
Huo Xingchen laughed and said, "So we should thank Chu Lanwen later."
Qingyou blinked. "Absolutely."
A day later, Ai Xiaosu signed the contract, and the production team made an official announcement.
Ai Xiaosu is a third-tier actress. Because she has acted in two well-received dramas, some people can recognize her even if they don't know her name.
Of course, there are also many people who don't know who she is.
Now that this has been officially announced, many people are somewhat disappointed.
After all, everyone prefers to watch well-known celebrities participate in their favorite variety shows.
Who is Ai Xiaosu? Is she an actress?
[Can someone explain this to me? I'm too lazy to look it up. I'm a little disappointed with the official photos.]
There's nothing we can do about it; the last one to leave was incredibly beautiful.
However, no one said anything harsh or took their anger out on others at first.
But soon someone came to popularize it.
[Let me tell you, you may not know Ai Xiaosu, but you all know Qingyou, right?]
What is her relationship with Qingyou?
[You can find out by looking at Qingyou's Weibo posts from the past two months. Ai Xiaosu used to be one of her artists, but after switching companies, she colluded with others to betray Qingyou.]
