Chapter 70: Variety Show Online
The three days off in the New Year were precious to everyone.
For office workers who had been busy for a whole year, these three-day holidays were hard won opportunities for rest. Island Tour? Visiting relatives and friends —— There was nothing more comfortable than staying at home!
No need to wash your hair, no makeup, beckon cats and dogs to play games and eat take-out, hold milk tea on the left hand and fried chicken on the right, stay ‘paralyzed’ on the sofa, scroll down Weibo then check Douyin((Tiktok)), open and close your eyes —— this was the correct way to spend the holidays!
Even the entertainment paparazzis, who usually ran the fastest, secretly prayed for the absence of ‘explosive news’ these days. Regardless of whether celebrities were divorced, cheated, committed adultery or caught on drugs, please move them to working days. Let them have a good breath these days and don’t call them out of bed.
Unfortunately, this prayer ultimately fell flat ——
—— On the first day of the New Year, the much-awaited Wilderness Winner crew suddenly released the first teaser video on all channels. This short three-minute video topped Weibo’s hot search list just an hour after it went online. At the same time, it landed at the number one spot in several entertainment sections, along with an explosive surge in several artists’ new media interactions.
All entertainment reporters were called up by their editors-in-chief to write news, gather information, and interview artists; in front of traffic data, there was no rest day to speak of!
Wilderness Winner managed to reel more than half of the netizens’ attention with just one trailer, and when the extended trailer was aired in the evening primetime, its popularity further reached its peak!
And this was not only because it used lens language to show the naked and cold, most realistic image of natural disasters, but also because of the dazzling figure in the show.
—— Who would have thought that Su Jin, who looked delicate and soft, would become the core leader of the team?
Among the five artists, Su Jin was the most famous and at the same time the skinniest looking one.
In the first minute of the trailer, Su Jin was indifferently walking in the primitive jungle with a small shoulder bag on her back. Compared to the other artists around her who were carrying huge hiking bags, she looked the most relaxed one.
The bullet screen was filled with ridicule, laughing at her, “Is she there to survive in the wilderness or on vacation?”
But half a minute later, those keyboard warriors who had mocked Su Jin all knelt down and shouted for their father!
Climbing mountains, crossing rivers, sliding down steep slopes … the girl in the camera did not even frown. Those natural chasms in the eyes of the viewers appeared almost flat under her feet.
She was barefaced with her short shoulder length hair randomly tied up with a hair band. She was wearing an old fashioned windbreaker, windbreaker pants, and holding a small flat-headed duckbill hammer.
The small hammer looked unimpressive, but in Su Jin’s hand, the hammer turned into the world’s most amazing tool!
It could chisel rocks, cut wood, and could even be used to pick fish scales?!!
【Holy moly, what kind of hammer is that?】
【6666666, This isn’t like any hammer I’ve ever seen!】
【Coach, I want to buy a hammer, too!】
【Are you missing a hammer? What you lack is those hands that can use hammers! 】
【Did the program group take a sponsorship ad?】
【Have you ever seen a hammer as a sponsor?】
The director made no secret of his preference for her and gave her extra footage. The three-minute pilot trailer had almost become Su Jin’s personal showcase. The other artists acted as ‘supporting roles’ for her. From beginning to end, they all stared at her with a ‘Damn, so awesome’ look.
This kind screen time naturally triggered the discontent of other artists’ fans. They felt that the show’s eccentric bias was too obvious, and so they flocked to the bottom of Weibo to complain.
Among them, the most opinionated were Qin Qiu and Chen Gangyu’s fans.
Chen Gangyu debuted as a member of an idol female group in her early years. After flying solo, she became semi-popular, and could only move from one idol drama group to another. Her fans, who accompanied her all the way up, were her true fans. Seeing their idol being suppressed by Su Jin, leaving her no screen time, they naturally couldn’t swallow their anger.
Meanwhile, Qin Qiu was a young, handsome teen idol with a strong soaring momentum recently. He was both talented in singing and dancing, and loved to smile. His persona was most attractive to mother fans and elder sister fans. At first, after Qin Qiu announced his participation in the program, his mothers and sisters were worried that the program group would force him to stage ‘older woman and younger man relationship’ CP. Who would have thought that the actual situation was worse than expected? Their darling and treasure Qinqin’s screen time was so little it was almost pathetic!
In a fit of anger, the hardcore fans of both sides hooked up together, ready to kill the official Weibo account for justice.
Unexpectedly, before the fans of the two sides could take action, the protagonists actually showed up and retweeted that promotional video!
Not only did they forward it, but they also seriously wrote a lengthy statement, expressing their gratitude to Su Jin!
[@qinqiuV: As the youngest member, I’ve always troubled all my seniors. Thank you Mr. Yan, Brother Weijing, and Sister Yuyu’s tolerance! And a special thanks to Sister Su. From her, I learned the true meaning of the four words courage, faith, responsibility and ability. //Repost this]
[@qinqiu’s personal warm baby: Baby Qiu??? Baby Qiu, if you are kidnapped by the show crew, just blink!!!]
[@qinqiu’s worried old mother: Did the studio post this on your behalf? Baby Qiu said in a previous interview that he rarely plays with Weibo].
[@QiuQiuQiuQiupid: Our Baby Qiu is too pitiful. His shots in the three-minutes trailer adds up to only forty seconds, and only three seconds of personal footage. The rest are for Su Jin in a palanquin!]
[@qinqiuV replied@all: I hope you don’t guess randomly. I admire Sister Su. When the volcano erupted, if she had not detected the danger in advance and decisively led everyone down the mountain, I’m afraid we would all have been buried in the sea of fire.]
[@All: ???? Wait, what plot did we miss???]
