Chapter 688: Changing the Topic
Finally, the "King of Songs" production team had to post an apology on Weibo, admitting that there were indeed problems with Xiao Ke'er's singing and styling in the fourth game, and that it was the fault of the tuner and makeup artist, because both of them disliked online singers. The TV station also announced the names of the tuner and makeup artist, saying that the two had been fired by the TV station. The TV station put all the blame on the tuner and makeup artist, otherwise if they were seriously investigated, Xia Chuan, Wang Meixin, the program director, planner... and even the leadership, all would be held accountable.
This shady deal is confirmed. Although there is a scapegoat, netizens know in their hearts that Xia Chuan is the mastermind, because the TV station did not deny the netizens' inference.
Xia Chuan himself seemed to be dead. He did not come out to face the dark side of the show and make any explanation about drug abuse. This festive day was the beginning of his downfall. Oh, it should be said that when he chose to take drugs, he had already embarked on a path of no return.
However, what is certain is that Liu Man, Lu Yuanning and Xiao Keer will definitely not have the opportunity to participate in "The King of Singers" again.
As for the other program, that day was Friday, and at 8 o'clock in the evening, XX TV station's talent show was broadcast on time. This talent show was pre-recorded and not live, so the behind-the-scenes manipulation inside was even more rampant.
This music talent show previously had impressive ratings. The five judges are all big names in the current music industry, and their combined number of fans exceeds 100 million.
The ratings of tonight's show skyrocketed at the beginning. Many people who saw the negative news were curious and wanted to see what was going on. As a result, they found that the singers that Lu Yuanning was referring to were not very good at singing, and the other singers were not very good either, so they lost interest in watching it. In less than half an hour, the ratings of the show were cut in half, falling to the lowest level since the show started. At the end, the final ratings were only 4.7%.
At the same time, there were also calls for a boycott of the show online, with netizens saying, "Only fools would watch a competition show where the champions are already booked in advance. This is not a talent show, it's a movie. Even the singers and judges have scripts! It all depends on money!"
The program production team then suddenly posted an announcement on Weibo, saying that the program would also be suspended and that an investigation team would conduct a detailed investigation into the personal circumstances of all contestants to ensure that the singer selection was fair, just and open. They also said that a specific investigation report would be issued and so on.

A popular online video program has forced the two TV stations into this situation.
At this moment, the time was exactly half past nine, and the "young sisters" released "Home for the Spring Festival" 6 on time.
The theme of the sixth episode changed again, and the content was very grand, because they took the audience to the home of the famous calligrapher Cheng Zikun. As early as the initial meeting to discuss the shooting subjects, Liu Man discussed with Sun Weiwei to use an episode to shoot calligraphy - to warm up for her calligraphy and Chinese studies live teaching APP. She and Jiang Chengfeng have already named this APP "Learn to Ink".
Videos that only feature celebrities from the entertainment industry as the main characters will cause visual fatigue to the audience. The content of yesterday's fifth episode was very heavy, involving scandals, quarrels, and drug use, which did not fit in with the theme of a happy Spring Festival. Today, let's change the style and the circle, and make it a little fresher and more elegant.
Cheng Zikun was a judge for the seal script category of the calligraphy exhibition. During the calligraphy exhibition, he was very fond of Liu Lan's works. He even participated in the auction anonymously, intending to buy Liu Lan's seal script version of "Yunyang Ding". However, the rising bid price exceeded his expectations, so he gave up halfway through bidding.
Afterwards, he contacted Liu Lan, intending to privately purchase one of her seal script works for his collection, hoping that she would give him a friendly price. Unexpectedly, Liu Lan directly gave him one of her works without charging any money.
Cheng Zikun's family is in the capital, and he has a good relationship with Professor Su. At first, Liu Man planned to film Professor Su's home. She told Professor Su about her plan. Professor Su knew that she and Jiang Chengfeng were working on an APP, and he supported it very much, but it was not appropriate to film a video at his home. There was not only him at his home, but also Principal Fang. Principal Fang was in office, and people in politics were more reluctant to expose their privacy.
Professor Su said, "Don't worry, I'll help you contact someone."
Professor Su helped Liu Lan contact Cheng Zikun, who is an expert in seal script in China. He is not only a calligrapher but also a scholar, a director of the Epigraphy Association, a visiting professor at universities across the country... His titles are no less than those of Professor Su.
Cheng Zikun readily agreed to the invitation, firstly for Professor Su's sake, and secondly because he had not yet repaid Liu Lan's favor of giving him calligraphy.
Cheng Zikun has several properties in the capital, and the one he showed the audience was one of them, where he usually entertains guests and makes friends. From the outside, it looks like a house in an ordinary residential area.
After opening the door, the audience realized what the other world was like - they saw a room full of calligraphy and paintings, antique furniture and ceramic ornaments.
