587 They Really Know How To Play, They Must Be Doing This On Purpose
“The final ranking will depend on your own abilities,” Yicheng said. “As long as there are judges and interpersonal relationships, it can’t be 100% fair. The three directors will probably have their own personal connections, and some of them will be guaranteed a spot.”
“However, that also depends on the strength of the other party. If they don’t have the ability, it’s useless no matter how much the judges try to protect them. If the judges insist on doing so, although others can’t do anything to the judges, the netizens will definitely scold them and the show’s reputation will be ruined.” Yicheng said, “If word of mouth spreads and no one watches the show after it’s done, the show naturally can’t continue. Therefore, even if a judge wants to protect someone, they won’t go too far.”
“With your strength, if you were to be eliminated due to reasons other than your strength, we won’t be easy to bully.” Although Yicheng was ridiculing the arrogant attitude of the people from Xingke Station, he was still a little worried.
He tolerated the other party because he didn’t want to lower himself to the same level as the other party, but it wasn’t because he didn’t have strength.
If Jiang Xun wasn’t eliminated because of her lack of ability, but purely because of some other insider information, Yicheng would not let the show off so easily.
“As for the three team leaders, the production team is still unwilling to reveal them. They said that they will announce them together with the judges during the final official announcement to give the netizens a surprise,” Yicheng said. “According to the situation revealed by the production team, the leaders won’t be bad. I specifically asked them for the list of invited guests. The list isn’t complete yet, and I’ve asked them for a copy of the invitation list. I don’t see any guests that you don’t have a good relationship with.”
“By the way, Zhang Qiyao will be participating too,” Yicheng said.
“The settings of the three leaders…” Jiang Xun frowned and said. “Two actors and a director. Doesn’t that mean that the director can help direct the film for his own team? If the leader is the director, he has a lot of power.”
“I’ve asked about that too, so that team will undoubtedly be very popular,” Yicheng said. “However, the production team said that since the judges are three well-known directors, the director who will be the team leader will definitely not be more famous than the three judges. Of course, they wouldn’t choose an ordinary director who isn’t famous or have any representative work to be the leader. They would probably choose a TV series director who has stable works and good results. And the three judges are great directors.”
“The leaders have to participate in the performance. Although the director is good at directing, he may not be that good at acting. So there are advantages and disadvantages.”
Jiang Xun nodded. “According to the settings of the production team, the team leader is a new-generation director with good works and achievements, an experienced middle-generation actor, and a new-generation actor. At that time, just the battle team selection alone would be a slaughter. Xingke Station’s operation is pretty cool!”
“No wonder their variety show is so popular. They’ve been trying to create conflicts from the very beginning. Jiang Xun’s eyes twitched as she saw through Xingke Station’s tricks.
“Yes,” Yicheng said. “It doesn’t matter which team you join. Even if it’s just for one round, the audience will know whether your acting skills are good or not.”
Jiang Xun had never participated in any performance variety shows.
However, Feng Videos hadn’t developed any variety shows in this area.
The main reason was that Xingke Station had another video platform that had done it before.
They were all similar.
If Feng Videos wanted to do a similar variety show, they would definitely have to set up a different competition system and format. They had to be innovative, but they couldn’t blindly innovate. This was why Feng Videos hadn’t done such a show so far.
Moreover, Feng Videos’ current variety shows were all in the form of a livestream + feature show.
It wasn’t very convenient for this kind of performance variety show to be livestreamed.
But since Feng Videos couldn’t find a good point of innovation, they simply didn’t put any effort into performance variety shows.
Jiang Xun did not feel any pressure. Just as Yicheng had said, it did not matter to her even if she only participated in one round.
Hence, she agreed.
They didn’t know what Xingke Station was up to, but Xingke Station kept the guest lineup this time especially confidential.
Even the guests who had already signed contracts with Xingke Station did not know who else they had invited.
The name list that Yicheng had received earlier was incomplete, and he heard that there were many changes to the name list.
Yicheng went to inquire again, but he couldn’t find out anything.
However, it was also because the lineup of the invited guests was mysterious enough that it caused the netizens to speculate.
The marketing accounts posted different versions of the list every day, earning a lot of KPI.
When the audience saw that their favorite celebrities were on the list, they were happily discussing it.
Tomorrow, when they saw that the list was good, they’ll be interested in discussing it.
When they saw that a celebrity they hated was on the list the day after tomorrow, they would scold and say that they would not watch the show if this person was on the list.
Xingke Station’s actions could be said to have allowed the show to gain enough popularity online.
Jiang Xun had also signed the contract with Xingke Station.
Every Friday, she would go to Nanke City, where Xingke Station was located, to record the program.
The contract did not specify how many episodes she would record, which meant that on the surface, there was no internal ranking.
It all depended on how far an individual could persist in advancing in the competition.
Jiang Xun no longer cared about the situation over at Jixuan’s side.
The last time in Chengye Group, Jixuan seemed to have already come up with an idea, so she did not care anymore.
No matter what, Jixuan was the heir of the Jiang family. He should have his own decision-making ability and not always listen to others.
Besides, the child had grown up, and it was time to let him do what he wanted.
Otherwise, he would feel that others didn’t trust him enough.
Jixuan often doubted his own abilities at this point. Jiang Xun felt that it was time to let Jixuan build up his confidence and acknowledge himself.
At this time, she should interfere as little as possible.
On Wednesday, Xingke Station’s new variety show, “In Position, Shoot,” was officially released.
This was also the first time everyone had heard the name of this variety show.
Before this, Xingke Station had not even announced its title.
In Position, Shoot announced the guest lineup.
There were actors and singers.
Most of the singers participating in the show had experience in acting and had acted in many movies and TV dramas.
They wanted to change their style completely and get people to recognize their acting skills so that they could get more shows in the future.
Jiang Xun didn’t care much about which guests had been invited.
The program announced it, so she went to take a look.
She didn’t expect to see Youlan and Yuexi’s names on the list.
…
Jiang Xun pouted. “This Xingke Station really knows how to play. They must be doing this on purpose.”
It wasn’t that Jiang Xun was arrogant. Her status might not be the highest, but she was indeed the most popular.
Xingke Station had probably invited Youlan and Yuexi, who she didn’t get along with, on purpose to create a hot topic.
“Xingke Station really knows how to play. They even got Su Youlan and Jiang Yuexi to come.”
