Shattering the talent show script, sweeping the world film scene

Qin Yushan's fans had just started to notice something while watching the outdoor activity live stream in the afternoon—they were grateful that Jiangxi Heng had offered to help Qin Yushan and boost his ranking, and then that evening, Jiangxi Heng was trending on social media again!

What's even more remarkable is that this trending topic is unlike previous ones that involved fabricated couple pairings, which generated temporary buzz but faded quickly and were forgotten by the public.

This trending topic attracted a lot of attention; even the Beijing News Channel reported on it, causing a large number of passersby to come across the story.

The authorities released the video that had been taken away to the public under the influence of public opinion.

Of course, none of this matters to Qin fans.

They stared intently at the third trending topic: "Here we go again! It's that same thing again! I reported the post on the forum all night, but it still got uploaded to Weibo. Qin-ge, what are you going to do? Waaaaah..."

Some fans with a more positive attitude said in the fan group: "It's okay, at least the show is going on as normal, and Brother Qin wasn't injured."

Someone immediately replied: "But Brother Qin's public image is doomed!"

【…】

The fans observed a three-minute silence.

Suddenly someone posted something unrelated to this.

[The broadcast schedule for "Cosmic Star-Making Camp" has changed.]

This incident has also affected the show's credibility, with many viewers questioning whether the production team was not responsible enough in setting tasks for the contestants.

Cai Fu's act of shutting down the live broadcast room last night, in particular, has sparked even more suspicion.

The production team knew that the live broadcast had to be shut down, otherwise... if the driver didn't get an ambulance and actually died in front of them, they wouldn't have any time to react and would be directly caught in a media storm, and they'd be stuck waiting to be finished.

Leaving a way out is a subconscious action for everyone.

The problem is that the show's decision to leave itself an escape route has led many viewers and fans to distrust it, even sparking conspiracy theories: "Are the contestants we see on TV edited together by the production team? We want to see a real show and support real celebrities! The previous outdoor activities showed us many things different from what we expected; you can certainly broadcast live all day!"

The director of "Cosmic Star-Making Camp" is Song Wei. It's unbelievable that this director always gives guests difficult tasks in his previous variety shows. He even deliberately made female celebrities who were on their periods pour cold water on them and make them eat ice cubes. He has no conscience when it comes to generating buzz.

If it were Song Wei, he might actually be able to cover up the truth.

【Wait, why do I hear the director of this show's surname is Tsai?】

[You're talking about Cai Fu, right? He does come from a background in boy and girl group variety shows. He was in charge of the various talent shows on Tomato Video for the past two years, but the higher-ups found that the talent shows were getting worse and worse and felt that he had problems with his abilities, so they replaced him. He's now working as an assistant director in the production team.]

[The car stopped in the live stream, and Cai Fu ran over to ask if everyone was alright. Judging from his anxious look, he seemed worried that the charade wasn't real.]

[Insider information: Cai Fu still cares about the contestants, but Song Wei might not. He treats the contestants as money-making tools; he gives more screen time to companies that pay him more, and no screen time to those that don't... Otherwise, why would Xie Xingyan, who received an A in the initial stage performance and is clearly so talented, be stuck in 11th place?]

[What?! (Angry) I thought it was because our fans didn't donate enough money, and we were even scrimping and saving!!!]

[If you break down the time, you'll see that Xie Xingyan's total screen time, including stage performances, is less than 20 minutes. Half of that time is spent in the last two episodes, featuring her with Jiangxi Heng... But to be fair, these two are probably the two most attractive people in the camp.]

[Damn Song, who got all that screen time from our Xingbao?!]

Damn! Now that you mention it, it seems like the players I picked, even though they're in a high position, are getting a lot of screen time...

[Didn't the production team promise fairness and impartiality? Why does it feel like everyone's pushing one person?]

If one person raises a question, millions will raise the same question.

Under immense pressure, Song Wei began to compromise.

Without changing the recording method, we will add live streaming channels. Each practice room and public place will be equipped with a camera to create nine live streaming grids.

Of course, there are more than nine cameras, so at the same time, a live stream with low popularity will be replaced by a live stream with high popularity.

Popularity is determined by the number of viewers and the amount of money donated.

Suffering from severe bleeding, Song Wei clutched his heart and said, "Alright, are there no more people online cursing me now?"

He could have ignored it completely, but he was afraid that netizens would continue to dig deeper and uncover evidence of his embezzlement. After thinking about it, he figured the show was already halfway through, so after the third round of performances, there would be a fourth round, and then the finals.

Unless someone suddenly gains immense popularity or achieves phenomenal breakthrough, it's very difficult for the top tier to be broken.

Song Wei chuckled: "Livestream camera time is also fought over based on popularity. From now on, the hottest will only get hotter, and the coldest will get colder. How many people can defy fate? By the way, how's the situation with Qin Yushan as a shield?"

Yes, from the very beginning, when Qin Yushan came to participate in the show, Song Wei knew that this person had entered three talent shows without making it, and even ruined the show.

Lingxi Music's attitude is very strange. They want to spend money to help Qin Yushan debut, but they don't want him to be in a high position. They want to make money off him, but they don't want him to become a big star... It's really a battle between the left and right brains.

Song Wei ignored their internal strife; once he got the money, he immediately pushed Qin Yushan into the top five.

Qin Yushan could only sing at first, how could he deserve to be in the top five? Besides, even his company wanted him to debut at the bottom.

Initially, the label of "royal family" was placed on Qin Yushan's head. Song Wei intended to use Qin Yushan to shield Yang Tianhang from some of the criticism. However, he did not expect that Qin Yushan would go from being a tall man who could not dance to being able to dance in just one month. He also did not expect that Wan Hua would be so eager to promote Yang Tianhang to the top position.

The label of royalty is gradually being removed from Qinyu Mountain. Those with discerning eyes can already see who the real royalty is and who is just a shield for others.

However, unlucky people just get better and then get unlucky again.

"Many people are posting about Qin Yushan's withdrawal from the competition, worried that it will affect the players they picked."

Song Wei laughed: "I won't let him withdraw from the competition, but dropping his ranking is acceptable. Notify Canxing Culture and Yinlang Media that if they want to get fourth place for Ding Xuzhe, Yu Shen, Zhao Zeyang, Kong Sui, and Xu Yanqing, they should come and have a good talk with me."

"Should Suoran Entertainment notify us?"

Song Wei frowned: "Which player did Suoran Entertainment send?"

The assistant lowered his head and said, "It was Xie Xingyan's batch, but now only he's left."

Song Wei thought carefully, then waved his hand dismissively, "A small company like that probably wouldn't spend money on Xie Xingyan, otherwise they would have contacted us already."

Xie Xingyan has been suppressed for so long. Outsiders may not be able to see it, but surely insiders can see it?
