Shattering the talent show script, sweeping the world film scene

Qin Yushan was persuaded to stay, but a wave of speculation arose outside that he was withdrawing from the competition.

The "Cosmic Star-Making Camp" forum and Tieba were flooded with posts overnight, detailing Qin Yushan's unfortunate events from beginning to end. Even the fact that all the ships except for the original Class B had capsized that afternoon was posted in detail.

I've seen unlucky people before, but this is the first time I've ever seen someone so unlucky that they're affecting others.

[It's chilling to think about. I already felt that so many teams' boats capsized this afternoon; it must be Qin Yushan's bad luck at work, right? He even said he was afraid of water? If he's afraid of water, why did he agree to participate in this kind of underwater mission? If it delays the team members, wouldn't that be an irresponsible experience? I heard he's the team leader... Shouldn't a responsible person be chosen as the team leader?]

[The production team didn't object, his teammates didn't object, but you guys jumped out to object. Whose fandom are you anyway? Don't think we won't recognize you just because you're wearing an alias!]

To be fair, since Qin Yushan knew he was special, he shouldn't have participated in the competition in the first place. Perhaps what happened this afternoon was a warning from heaven, and sure enough, trouble struck tonight.

[To be honest, what happened? Wasn't everyone checked for safety, even the driver was rushed to the hospital and revived? Besides, shouldn't people with heart conditions be prohibited from driving large vehicles? I'd like to ask the production team: did they really do a proper job of safety checks and personnel selection for outdoor activities?!]

The program's forum was overrun by more than ten million netizens.

After the live stream was shut down, people spontaneously pushed the incident to the top of the trending topics.

In the past, Song Wei would have been overjoyed, but now? This is a variety show mishap; if he gets caught up in the drama, he's doomed.

In the early hours of the morning, the contestants, exhausted from a long day, went back to their dormitories to sleep.

The control room and conference room were packed with people. Song Wei's eyes were bloodshot; he was clearly exhausted. He slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "Delete all the comments on the forum that are detrimental to the program team!"

Someone sitting below said in a trembling voice, "Director, all the trending topics are about an accident that happened to our show. It seems like a rival show is targeting us."

Song Wei was breathing heavily as he looked at the fifty-odd trending topics he could scroll through. A fifth of them were related to what happened tonight: #Accident at the Cosmic Star-Making Camp#, #Car Accident at the Cosmic Star-Making Camp#, #Song Wei, the Director of the Cosmic Star-Making Camp#, etc.

"Damn it, why are they all digging into my past?" Song Wei didn't have a penchant for being a popular celebrity. He knew what he had done and couldn't stand being scrutinized.

"Quick, quick, find a way to distract them!"

Everyone had their own opinions: "Why don't we shift the blame to the driver? When we hired him, he said he'd been driving in this area for over ten years and knew the way with his eyes closed. We hired him because he seemed honest and his price wasn't high, but what happened? This guy actually concealed his medical history?!"

"How did someone with such a sudden illness obtain a driver's license? Why not have an online troll campaign stir up some controversy?"

"Yes, yes, we asked them all. They were hiding it from us. We're not mind readers!" As they finished speaking, a look of complaint appeared on their faces.

Cai Fu and Wang Tengteng looked rather displeased as they listened to these people shirking responsibility.

"When you're looking for someone, shouldn't you take photos and record all their documents? Driver's license, health certificate, and a certificate of no criminal record issued by the police..."

The person in charge of this matter guiltily looked away.

We rushed through the inspection to reduce the workload, who knew something like this would happen?

Cai Fuqi blushed with anger, his hands clenched into fists under the table, wishing he could beat these irresponsible staff members to a pulp.

Song Wei gave Cai Fu a cold look. Before coming to this program, it was originally agreed that the program would be produced by Cai Fu, but he secretly gave gifts to the producer and obtained the overall command of the program.

There's no other reason than that talent shows are just a way for directors to make money.

He made some money from investors and some from fans and viewers; he's already bought a house in Beijing with it.

Therefore, Song Wei disliked and feared Cai Fu, always making him do thankless tasks on the show, and even taking the opportunity to belittle him in front of everyone: "Deputy Director Cai! I asked you to come up with solutions, not to have you quarrel and fight amongst yourselves."

Cai Fu is indeed the assistant director of the program.

However, most people will call him Director Cai when they meet him.

Only Song Wei would call out "Assistant Director Cai" with a meaningful tone.

At this moment, he labeled Cai Fu's words as "internal strife" and "disrupting morale."

Cai Fu sneered and ignored him, saying, "Fine, you guys do it yourselves, just don't make it worse!"

Without Cai Fu interjecting, these staff members came up with all sorts of ingenious tricks, which can be summarized into three points: first, to shift the blame for the production team's failure to the driver; second, to divert attention to Qin Yushan, who was to act as a scapegoat; and third, to promote Jiangxi Heng to divert attention.

The moment these three announcements were made, the trending topics on social media shifted dramatically that evening.

#Driver faints on highway, young man saves everyone in the car with quick thinking! Breaking news!#

#Jiangxi Heng's calm and collected actions have gained him countless fans#

#Qin Yushan suspected of withdrawing from the competition!#

#……#

The trending topics were shocking, occupying the top three spots, including one from a social news channel.

If we were to name the sole beneficiary of this incident, it would undoubtedly be Jiangxi Heng.

He prevented a high-speed car accident with his calm and resourcefulness, saving the lives of everyone on the bus. He was admired by more than twenty contestants in the camp and praised by tens of thousands of people online.

Although Jiangxi Heng isn't good at singing and dancing, he's kind and witty!

He's also very strong and gives people a sense of security. He does 80% of the boat building and rowing work in the afternoons!

[After seeing the news, I watched the clip and fell in love with this calm contestant. I heard this is a competition to select idols? How do I vote?]

[Waaaaah, I'm a friend of one of the contestants, and he was in that car. To thank Jiangxi Heng, I'm willing to contribute my entire month's allowance!]

[I'm a family member of the driver, and I'm willing to help Jiangxi Heng make his debut. Thank you for his composure in the face of danger and for saving Old Wang's life.]

A group of casual viewers who never watch talent shows or variety shows flocked to the show's voting channel. Even if each person spent one yuan, ten thousand people would still have ten thousand yuan. Jiangxi Heng's star value soared, and his fans exceeded one million overnight.

If the production crew had checked at this point, they would have found that Jiangxi Heng's ranking had moved up to tenth, pushing Xie Xingyan, who was originally in tenth and eleventh place, down one place.

If Jiangxi Heng was the biggest beneficiary of this outdoor activity, then Qin Yushan was the one who suffered the most severe losses!
