Entertainment Sister Loves Comments: Friends, have you watched "Actor Starlight Road" jointly launched by Blueberry TV, Tao Tao Video, and Hongshi Network? Entertainment Sister's gossip time — there are quite a few handsome men and beautiful women inside. 【Image】【Image】【Image】

Clicking into this graphic post, within seconds a pile of comments scrolled up, and judging by the momentum, there seemed to be more and more coming.

Wen Wen Is The Best: Of course there are many, our Wen Wen is the best! Please everyone support Tan Shuwen — a sweet-and-salty sunshine little milk dog, really super great!

I Am Passerby A: This variety show suits my appetite quite well, though the contestant I support is rather niche, not very famous inside, but definitely won't be eliminated in the first round, already planning to have family help pull votes 【Image】.

Twin Tails A Bit Handsome: Please everyone support Yang Chengyu inside — handsome and beautiful, responds to every request, also speaks multiple languages, a straight-A student 【Image】.

Sheep On Green Grassland: "Actor Starlight Road" is really popular, right? Even I who don't follow it got recommended nonstop by colleagues, but Entertainment Sister, did you take benefits from Blueberry? These past few days you've been constantly promoting and building momentum for "Actor Starlight Road".

Go With The Flow: Not just Entertainment Sister, I follow several other marketing accounts too, good grief, all of them are running ads for this "Actor Starlight Road" program, what magic power does this variety show have? Are they really handsome men and beautiful women, not a scam?!

Starlight Warm Sun Dried Radish: How could it be a scam? You just don't believe the production team — believe those passersby who've already dug up these contestants inside out, there are even several more photos that are even more handsome and beautiful, showing that this program, whatever else, the contestants truly each have outstanding looks.

……

Not only were there such comments under marketing accounts, the constantly trending hot searches also made the public opinion for "Actor Starlight Road" during this period explode massively.

Only three episodes have aired so far, just a variety show's opening, it can be said this east wind was borrowed too successfully — not only did the actors inside the show profit, but the several parties who launched this variety show are all visibly excited and thrilled, a truly unimaginable huge success.

"If I'd known this variety show could explode, whatever they said I would've gone to participate."

Online, those who were eliminated or didn't participate in final filming for various reasons often jump out to regret it, conveniently riding this east wind to rub a bit of traffic and raise their own audience recognition.

Of course, this traffic-chasing behavior will ultimately bring more or less backlash.

Those who couldn't get on this show — aside from a few who truly had unavoidable matters — most still carry all sorts of big landmines easily exposed; the production team can't possibly not do background checks; selling misery on the surface to fight for traffic, they'll ultimately become flags torn apart by traffic.

"Actor Starlight Road" Production Team

Shen Yao cradled the extra-strong coffee she'd just bought, sitting in a corner silently easing her somewhat fatigued spirit from this recent period.

Mm

Still can't push too hard — body not taking it is secondary, mainly it would affect her daily life.

"Shen Producer"

A staff member came over holding a stack of documents for approval — all were proactive inquiries, hoping to come participate in the show's crew as actor celebrities.

Of course, these can only be said to have some fame but aren't top-tier or powerhouse types; those with real confidence are all feigning reserve waiting for the production team to send invitations — reaching out first would make them look especially lacking in face.

Shen Yao casually flipped through the document contents the staff member handed over.

Truthfully, not a single actor celebrity appearing above met Shen Yao's invitation standard.

Individual advantages all too thin — only count as having a bit of recognition, not eighteen-liners who've flopped to the earth's core, but they have neither traffic nor acting skills, and can't bring anything to the production team; on the contrary, they still want to borrow the show to increase their own recognition.

Shen Yao isn't some philanthropist — watching the golden hen laying golden eggs, why would she go crazy and invite a bunch of bloodsuckers to suck blood.

She even faintly regretted a bit — had she known, she shouldn't have agreed to those entertainment companies pushing their newly signed contestants; a few of them look floaty at a glance, and their on-camera vs off-camera behavior is completely different.

Tsk tsk tsk

Looks like she still has to push no-background flop little transparents or ordinary people — at least they can occupy a bit of authenticity; otherwise they're all like those floaty ones who don't know heaven and earth, and the production team can only bite the bullet and send them a future of wealth and glory.

As for the layer of fatal poison inside the shell of that future wealth and glory — depends on whether they can resolve it themselves.

After all, a sacrificial script is still a script — operate it well and you can defy fate and change destiny; operate it badly, and with the company pushing hard, completely no worry about follow-up resources, can even abuse a wave of fans, more convenient to purify whale-harvesting, who knows they might even turn around and thank the production team.

"Reject all the actor celebrities on these lists — just say we've already finalized the upcoming guests; believe me, knowing the invitees are the 'Palace Intrigue' core creators, they'll understand the production team's arrangement."

After all, no matter how highly they think of themselves, they can't compare to the continuously exploding "Palace Intrigue".

Not only did the male and female leads directly ascend several ranks in place, even the supporting roles all gained recognition, leaving deep impressions in audiences' hearts.

Being able to invite the "Palace Intrigue" core team this time — one is Shen Yao's own face, two is Jiang Han Zhou helping connect from the side, three is Blueberry TV and Tao Tao Video exerting force, four is the variety show "Actor Starlight Road" really being hot — these facilitated the current cooperation.

After all, favors are favors, but can't let the other side keep investing in poverty alleviation; all rotating in the circle, mutually supporting each other is the only way to last — one side purely investing inward nonstop can only push the relationship further and further away.

The staff member listened and inwardly clicked their tongue — didn't expect the rumored guests really were the "Palace Intrigue" core team; looks like Shen Producer really has ability, no wonder she could directly slam the table and veto the director's whim during meetings.

Silently turning around, carrying their stack of documents, they left the office; this staff member had just left when another person came to ask Shen Yao to go to the director's place for a meeting.

Shen Yao: ……Hm?

Asked why a meeting at this time — if memory serves it's nearly midnight; don't people in the production team need sleep and rest?

The staff member looked at Shen Producer with obvious dark circles with a face full of surprise — thinking this one hasn't rested either; moreover the hotter the show, the bigger their bonuses — who'd want to go back and sleep at a time like this, they'd hate to not stay in the production team twenty-four hours a day, fighting to make the show hotter and hotter, so their share of bonuses gets bigger and bigger.

"Seems like there's a bit of a problem on the contestant side; the director didn't say the reason, only told Shen Producer and other persons in charge to all rush over."

The staff member frowned in thought for a moment, then finally shook their head.

Seeing this, Shen Yao didn't say anything more, silently following behind the staff member, stepping toward the director's office at the innermost end of the corridor.

The system chose this moment to jump out and add a sentence: "The System knows what's going on."

"Contestant exposed?" Shen Yao carelessly gave a reason.

System: ……

"Host knew?" The System's surprise didn't seem feigned — tone completely different.

Shen Yao indicated she didn't know before — just guessed randomly; right now she indeed knew — after all, the System had mentioned before that a few contestants had landmines of varying sizes buried behind them; the degree of explosion wouldn't reach eating state rice, at most reputation flawed, quickly vanishing among the masses.

The System felt it had been tricked by the Host — but this couldn't be blamed on the Host, still its own psychological quality not hard enough.

Secretly self-reflecting a wave, the System then cheekily leaned up to Shen Yao, saying it knew which contestant exploded — could reveal it in advance to its own Host.

Shen Yao refused the System's suggestion — because she had already arrived at the director's office; through a thick door she could hear the director inside cursing up a storm while conveniently bringing up contestant names — she still needed the System to tell her in advance?

The System truly submitted to this director, this old six — why compete with it for business.

Click—

Pushing open the door, Shen Yao arrived beside the director, then picked up the tablet thrown to one side — on it was written in black and white: Shen Jingtao private contact sleeping with fans, accompanied by several photos and a short video.

Hmm.

Shen Yao, who had long known these things from the system, nodded silently; this was indeed Shen Jingtao himself, and there was even more excessive content that had not been exposed on the Internet.

Shen Yao watched the director vent his madness there, directly told him to calm down, the matter likely wasn't over, she suggested contacting the person himself and the brokerage company, "The specific regulations should all have a conclusion, moreover this program hasn't reached the final stage," whether this person can ultimately stay still depends on the result of this discussion.

The director nodded, indicating he had already arranged people to summon Shen Jingtao's brokerage company; as for the person himself, during program recording there was no phone to contact the outside world, but the program isn't recorded continuously, short holidays would appear during the period, and this person actually stabbed a huge basket during the holiday!

"No matter how you put it, this matter must be handled severely."

Otherwise where would their program team's authority be? A group of people acting arbitrarily, affecting the reputation and viewership ratings of the entire program.

"Indeed, but we must also appropriately leave some leeway, Shen Jingtao's brokerage company is Star Water Film & TV," this is a veteran production company, every year the broadcast dramas they shoot are countless.

Blueberry TV and Star Water Film & TV have cooperation ongoing, Shen Jingtao is Star Water's person, and simultaneously received the program team's extra preference, otherwise he wouldn't have gained fame so fast, and wouldn't be able to pull off this kind of Qizhi thing.

Star Water Film & TV is important, but Shen Jingtao is not important, Star Water Film & TV signs many newcomers every year, but those who can rise to prominence are few and far between.

Right now Shen Yao reminded the director, not wanting the director to show leniency to Shen Jingtao, but to let him hand the decision-making power to Star Water Film & TV, conveniently also obtaining a favor from Star Water Film & TV to prepare for future business cooperation.

Director:...

Having finished listening to Shen Yao's gentle reminder, the director immediately wore a smiling expression, even his speech became much gentler.

Worthy of being Producer Shen, the reminder was right, simply extremely reasonable!

The director felt this was an opportunity to both sell a favor and establish authority, he paced back and forth in the not-large room, finally bringing up the next variety show filming again.

Anyway Star Water Film & TV hasn't arrived yet, Shen Jingtao is still sleeping in the hotel, even if he delays a bit more he's not afraid of anything, this completely counts as a legitimate reason.

When Star Water Film & TV arrived it was already the latter half of the night, including Shen Jingtao who was sleeping in the hotel, also directly brought over by Star Water Film & TV.

The news on the Internet didn't need the program team to repeat, Star Water Film & TV could see it intuitively.

Therefore on the way here, Star Water Film & TV had already discussed the talking points with Shen Jingtao.

Admitting it was absolutely impossible, Shen Jingtao had finally gained some heat momentum, the follow-up still needed to create greater value for Star Water Film & TV, how could he fall on this matter.

But similarly, not admitting is merely a means to salvage reputation, actually insiders all know Shen Jingtao's doings are simply too common, everyone is used to it, but those fans can't accept it.

"Still need to be slightly disappointed, best to have a few episodes where the lens effect weakens," this facilitates abusing fans and purifying, conveniently also tightening the reins on Shen Jingtao.

Online news the company can withdraw, can buy off the exposers, but this kind of thing can happen once or twice but not a third time, they also aren't specialized clean-up people for Shen Jingtao, if they let Shen Jingtao form a habit, it's still Star Water Film & TV that loses more.

Star Water Film & TV's person in charge glared at the trouble-making Shen Jingtao on one hand, while wearing a smiling face discussing with the director and Shen Yao how to handle it best on the other.

Shen Yao took this opportunity to put forward a two-sided suggestion, letting Star Water Film & TV and Shen Jingtao seriously consider.

"Doing this has advantages and disadvantages, but Contestant Shen has always performed excellently, if he can truly seize this opportunity to turn over, his future starting point will also be limitless."

Shen Yao's words carried a hint of bewitching meaning, Star Water Film & TV's person in charge was still hesitating, but Shen Jingtao himself agreed first.

Person in Charge:... Stupid goods!

This kind of person, is born to counter him, truly doesn't let him have peace of mind!

But thinking carefully, doing this indeed has benefits outweighing harms, just don't know if Shen Jingtao can persist.

'People, always like to overestimate themselves, underestimate others,' Shen Jingtao is precisely this kind of person, so Shen Yao dared to openly dig a pit.

As for being heard out by Star Water Film & TV's person in charge? This person similarly sees the benefits, moreover just inside "Actor Starlight Road" there are several Star Water Film & TV people, without Shen Jingtao there are other Taos, the person in charge can completely swap in another to continue propping up.

Sure enough, after Shen Jingtao left full of confidence, Star Water Film & TV's person in charge decisively had the director and Shen Yao help more, moving the lens originally belonging to Shen Jingtao onto Ding Ling, the given reason was naturally that Ding Ling has potential, but the actual internal situation, only Star Water Film & TV's own people know.

Shen Yao and the director naturally wouldn't refuse, moreover whether this kind of lens preference is good or bad depends entirely on the person's own performance, whether Ding Ling can live up to expectations, inherit well the lens and traffic Shen Jingtao threw away, depends on her ability.

Still that sentence, Star Water Film & TV doing this still has to owe Blueberry TV a favor, Shen Yao and the director lose nothing at all and can sit and reap the fisherman's gain, what a great exchange, hope this kind of thing comes more often.
