Recently, a variety show suddenly appeared in the entertainment circle, and its official Weibo also suddenly started operating. As soon as it started, it was all about warming up, saying it would begin the live broadcast of the first episode in five days.
Oh, not only is the warm-up period so short, but it's also in a live format. Only after the live broadcast will there be a richer edited version. This situation is either fearless or just... well, simply fearless.
Netizens who refresh Weibo every day haven't heard a whisper about it before. They figured it must be some obscure director shooting an unpresentable web show. The slight interest comes from thinking that the word "live" is indeed bold, so out of boredom, they clicked in to take a look.
Upon looking, some people noticed something different.
This show is actually sponsored by the Changtong Group!
["Different Variety Show" Official Weibo: Hello everyone, we are Different Variety Show, the countdown to the show's live broadcast is five days... balabalabala... Finally, our director asked to sum it up in one sentence: Live broadcast, five days later, the sponsor daddy is Changtong Group // No need for me to say more.jpg]
Immediately, an influential entertainment blogger wrote an article specifically analyzing this variety show, and the netizens who follow gossip in the entertainment industry immediately smelled something fishy.
[!!! Shock! After the Changtong Group ventures into real estate and the financial industry, they're getting involved in the entertainment industry!!]
[The language of the person in charge of this official Weibo is steady yet cheeky, it looks like a show that's been well-fed by its sponsor daddy]
[...Can I dream?]
[Just now I thought this show was quite perfunctory, but with the words Changtong, I think they have the confidence]
[Those flattering above, don't be so obvious, leave me some space]
[The dreaming young lady up there don't go! This is already Changtong Group, the guests must be impressive!]
[Both eyes gleam, wishes fulfilled, nothing more to regret in life! If my idol is invited, I can call Changtong Group daddy!]
[The person above, they don't need a silly son like you, having me to share worries for daddy is enough]
[According to internal sources, Changtong Group has indeed established an entertainment company, and it's investing in more than one project.]
[With Changtong's standard, if the guests aren't of the current popular level or superstar actors, it would be unworthy of the four words Changtong Group]
[I have a new reason to live!]
[Awoke from dying illness, let's see if Changtong can do it!]
The show "Different Variety Show" was propelled from obscurity to being in the spotlight, purely by the words Changtong Group Investment.
While netizens were pushing this topic onto the tail of the trending list, the Changtong Group's official Weibo had already reposted the program group's announcement and added —
[Changtong Group V: Our president has clearly stated, your daydreams, more than enough! // "Different Variety Show" official Weibo...]
Below it introduced the official girlfriend of their Weibo, Changhui Entertainment Company, a newly established wholly-owned subsidiary of the Changtong Group.
Originally an energy company, Changtong Group later ventured into the real estate industry, earning full bowls and overflowing profits. Afterward, it also aggressively entered the financial sector. The two words, Changtong, hadn't disappeared from financial journals and entrepreneurial magazines, and now quietly established an entertainment company, launching a variety show right away.
From this trend, this variety show is definitely a big scene.

Mu Qiu came out of Hai City Airport and got into a taxi.
Leaning against the back seat and looking at the traffic outside the car window, Mu Qiu's mind was still thinking about the man she just met at the airport, at the luggage check-in area.
Tall and upright, yet with eyes above the mask as gentle and enchanting as a lake, standing beside the conveyer belt with his eyes lowered, poking at the luggage sliding down now and then to prevent it from hitting the railings. When it was a clearly girlish pink suitcase, he even reached out his hands to catch it.
Unknowing gentleness made Mu Qiu stand there for a long time, not daring to go over to disturb his "luggage interception."
However, standing there, her mind already spun one story after another with him as the male protagonist.
Rebirth sweet pet story, after going through a lot stories of mature men, childhood sweetheart story, and even...
"We've arrived at Hengfeng Hotel."
The driver's voice pulled Mu Qiu back to her remaining bit of conscience. She coughed lightly, paid the fare efficiently, and got out of the car.
Hai City's temperature is suitable, never too hot or too cold throughout the year. It's just March, the morning is clean and a bit cool, but in the afternoon it's pleasant and breezy, the most comfortable bodily sensation temperature.
Mu Qiu gathered her coat, pulling the suitcase inside the hotel main door.
The room was booked uniformly by the program group. As the only "external" screenwriter of the program group, her room should have been with the screenwriting team, but who knows what kind of meeting was held by the director team and the sponsor daddy. After she and the screenwriting team just finished planning the first two episodes' creative activities and returned to Yun City, she was notified to come back today.
They said they wanted her to join the live broadcast.
Mu Qiu dragged her suitcase up to the 16th floor, found her room number, and bent down to open the door. Thinking about the past two days' things and the upcoming tasks, she slightly pressed her lips together, feeling a bit like sighing.
She's just a novelist, previously sold the rights to two books, and this time, the unfinished variety novel was picked up by the program director who wanted to make it into a variety show. Later, the director somehow wrangled in Changtong Group's investment, becoming recently "surefire variety show number one." A novel not particularly performing well turned out to be the widely anticipated variety show original, and the director even asked her to be the only regular amateur guest to participate. Her heartbeat over the past few days has been abnormal.
The variety show wants to "de-starrize," making amateurs a necessary option. This has been a rule in the variety industry over the past two years. However, most variety shows just have different amateurs appear in some segment of the show, but always having an amateur guest participate in recording, apart from parent-child shows and heat-carrying all-amateur variety, really no program groups dare to do this.
After resting in the room for a while, she logged onto Weibo to refresh. The program's official Weibo half an hour ago released a suspected guest list.
["Different Variety Show" official Weibo: He, handsome in looks, sunny in expression, unruly in character; she, beautiful in appearance, fresh and refined with elegance; he, gentle and refined, she, beautiful and generous, dignified and graceful...]
Mu Qiu: ...
What's with this clichéd fantasy novel introduction style coming out at me?
The black-and-white silhouette pictures under Weibo don't let Mu Qiu, who doesn't really follow celebrities, figure out who the stars are, but the fans swarming below are different.
[Ahhhhh! Don't think you can keep it from my discerning eyes! That's my idol!!!]
[This toad here recognized my idol through the nervous reflex action of drooling!!!]
[Brother! Brother! Brother! Brother!! Wait, it seems as if there's no brother of mine?]
[This promotional copy... is sophisticated enough, unruly enough.]
[The sunny one must be Li Yang, right? The breakout star must be talking about Changtong Group.]
[These ambiguous adjectives, ignoring gender direction, my brother and sister could both fit in!]
[So, are there six guests? None of the six is the one I want, it can't make sense!!!]
