The reality show “Youth With You” spans ten episodes, and with the sixth episode now concluded, the rankings were more or less set.
The format of the show had been publicly announced before the premiere, so fans were well aware of what each episode would entail.
The third performance, scheduled for the penultimate episode and just half a month away, was generating discussions among fans of several popular trainees about which celebrities would make guest appearances.
Xie Yu was certainly gaining popularity, but it was still mostly within the scope of the talent show.
A boost from a first-tier celebrity would undoubtedly skyrocket his popularity.
[Isn’t it funny how you’re worried about this? Who gets invited is up to the production team, not Teacher Si.]
[How do you know Teacher Si doesn’t have connections in the entertainment industry? Be careful, she might surprise you with who she brings in!]
Amidst the heated debate between the fans and detractors, the show’s production team released a statement.
[@YouthWithYou: QM Band left our production without permission, causing us significant distress. We have decided to cease all collaborations with them.
This is an official announcement!]n-)O..v-.E-(l((b-(1//n
Xie Yu’s fans joined the fray immediately.
[Has anyone heard of this QM Band? They leave on their own and then accuse our Xie Yu of being difficult and driving them away?]
[Never heard of them, some small band. Twisting facts, now getting slapped in the face, right?]
Manager Luo watched the door, frowning.
The rising popularity of “Youth With You” was something Tianle Media wanted to see.
But it wasn’t supposed to be Xie Yu reaping the benefits.
Manager Luo had anticipated Si Fuqing’s influence, but not to this extent.
Previously, Si Fuqings own lack of initiative could be blamed on the company’s negligence.
It seemed they needed a plan to curb Si Fuqing’s growing boldness.
Setting down his teacup, Manager Luo instructed his assistant nonchalantly, “Bring Feng Peizhi to me.”
At Su Yang’s private studio.
Su Yang was well aware of the online discussions about the third performance of the talent show.
He called Si Fuqing, “Hey, your talent show is going to invite celebrities for support? I’ll stay in Lin for a while then.”
“Ah, yes, there’s that segment,” Si Fuqing responded languidly. “But you can’t participate in it.”
Su Yang frowned, “Why not?”
“Your influence is too great,” Si Fuqing explained. “The emphasis of this ‘support’ is on the act of assisting. I did consider inviting you again, but I’m afraid the fans would all focus on you instead, overshadowing the contestants’ performances. ”
Indeed, having Su Yang appear would create a sensational impact, but it might inadvertently eclipse the presence of the trainees in her group, defeating the purpose of the support act..
