The online uproar did not affect Xiao He.
To promote "Shining Stars", he and several members of the main creative team will participate in Hunan TV's "Happy Everyday" program.
"Happy Every Day" is a variety entertainment program on Hunan TV, mainly featuring games, singing and dancing, and interviews. It has accompanied many viewers through their growth and has a very wide audience.
This long-running variety show is also considered a prime platform for film and television production teams to promote their works. Many new dramas and even movies like to promote themselves here to increase the exposure and buzz surrounding their productions.
Xiao He grew up watching this variety show and never imagined that one day he would be here, or even stand on this stage to promote his work.
He was very excited.
However, Xiao He wasn't so happy when he saw Su Shengxi.
The main people who came to record the program this time were Zhang Mo, Su Shengxi, Yiman'er, and Xiao He.
According to the original billing order, there was a third male lead ahead of Xiao He, who was the older actor who played Li Shuo and Meng Zetian's leader in the drama.
However, that person was indeed a bit older and couldn't participate in the activities of young people, so Wen Hongyuan didn't force him to come and do the publicity work. Instead, he directly invited a few slightly younger people with some buzz to come on the show.
Of course, the unpleasantness between Xiao He and Su Shengxi is common knowledge, so it's inevitable that there will be some awkwardness when they meet again.
Today, Iman was still wearing a light purple cheongsam that fit her character in the storyline. She was elegant and composed, and she was also holding a small folding fan in her hand. When she saw Xiao He, she smiled and walked over to greet him: "Xiao He, it's been a long time."
Xiao He also took the initiative to walk over: "Sister Man'er, long time no see! How have you been? What have you been busy with?"
"Hi, I just finished filming a movie a while ago and I'm taking a break now," Iman said.
Originally, Iman had planned to audition for Feng Zhengyang's movie, but unfortunately, an old friend she knew encountered some trouble and urgently needed Iman to step in, so Iman did not participate in the audition in the end.
Fortunately, I missed that audition, otherwise I would have really been stuck with nothing.
"But what about you? You've gotten so much darker!" Iman looked Xiao He up and down. "You seem a bit more robust than before."
Xiao He explained, "I got a bit tanned from filming in Haishi before."
“I see, I remember now, I saw you trending on social media before.” Iman’er said knowingly, “I think it was for Director Ren’s movie.”
“Yes.” Xiao He nodded.
While Xiao He and Yiman'er were talking, Zhang Mo and Su Shengxi also came over.
Actually, Zhang Mo wanted to come over and greet Xiao He as soon as he saw him, but Yiman'er beat him to it. After a brief hesitation, he decided to bring Su Shengxi along when he saw Su Shengxi alone.
There's no way around it; almost everyone in the production team knows about the discord, but they still have to maintain the facade of harmony because "Shining Stars" still needs to be broadcast, and they can't give others the opportunity to stir up public opinion.
"It's been a long time, Xiao Xiao."
"Hello, Teacher Xiao."
You can tell who is closer and who is more distant from the way they are addressed.
However, no one showed it. Xiao He greeted Zhang Mo and Su Shengxi with a smile, without showing any displeasure on his face.
Iman unfolded her fan to cover the lower half of her face, and the smile in her eyes faded considerably.
Fortunately, everyone on set was an actor, and even though they had different ideas, they managed to maintain a lively atmosphere until the production crew came over to confirm the next part of the program.
The person who came over was Qiu Hua, the host of "Happy Every Day".
Qiu Hua is a veteran host on Hunan TV. He has been hosting programs for many years and is very experienced with high emotional intelligence. Even when he is not recording a program, he remains gentle and humble, and speaks in a logical and reasonable manner, making people feel very comfortable.
Since the others had already participated in the program before, and Xiao He was the only one who was participating for the first time, Qiu Hua took special care of Xiao He's feelings and chatted with him for a while longer.
Xiao He had to admit that Teacher Qiu was a very charismatic person, a charisma that would captivate people of all ages and genders.
Working with someone like that is truly a pleasure.
After chatting for a while longer, Qiu Hua went to the other side to begin preparations for the recording.
Iman walked over to Xiao He again, her expression displeased.
Xiao He glanced at her: "What?"
“It’s that guy again.” Iman pouted. “He and I are a couple in the show, so we’ll be paired together for the game later.”
In the drama "Shining Stars", romance is actually not a major focus. The main storyline revolves around the relationship between the female lead Qiu Rongyue and the second male lead Bai Mingchuan. However, due to their family and national backgrounds, the two did not end up together, but they can be considered a couple. On the other hand, the male lead Li Shuo remains a bachelor from beginning to end.
Although such dramas don't necessarily involve creating a romantic pairing, it's inevitable that the characters will become partners and participate in activities together during promotional periods.
It's all work, and in the past, Iman would have thought it didn't matter. But what she disliked most about Su Shengxi was that he didn't try to control his obsessive fans.
Moreover, ever since Su Shengxi and Xu Youyou's relationship was exposed, those obsessed fans have become even more obsessed.
He {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} kept a close eye on Iman and scolded her every day, fearing that Iman would become both a sister-in-law and a mistress.
Iman was so angry she almost laughed.
It's just acting; our interactions are limited to being colleagues.
What makes her so blind as to fall for such a tasteless and incompetent good-for-nothing?
Did she, Iman, work as a junk collector in the Chinese entertainment industry?
Do they collect all kinds of garbage?
Xu Youyou is blind, and you're blaming her?
Iman was getting angrier and angrier, but she could only hold her breath and not confront those obsessive fans before the show aired, lest it affect the show's broadcast.
Xiao He roughly understood the matter and comforted Iman with great pity: "It's okay, it's okay. Just think of it as you leading a little good-for-nothing through the challenge. Show your spirit and state, and anyone with eyes can see who is looking down on whom."
Iman took a deep breath, then smiled and said, half seriously and half jokingly, "I'll try my best not to beat him up on stage."
Xiao He chuckled and said, "Then you'd better hold on, Sister Man'er, or I won't be able to resist going up and beating him up too."
"What do you mean by beating me up..."
Zhang Mo walked over and happened to hear these words.
Iman shrugged: "Xiao He and I are plotting to put a sack over that guy's head in a bit. Teacher Zhang, do you want to come along?"
Zhang Mo and Iman'er were in the same company, so he naturally knew about Iman'er's situation. Hearing Iman'er's words, he smiled helplessly and said, "You young people these days are really energetic."
Iman crossed her arms and bluntly exposed him: "Teacher Zhang, you're usually much faster at surfing than us, are you pretending to be clueless now?"
Zhang Mo feigned ignorance: "Oh dear, this person is getting old, his hearing really isn't what it used to be."
Iman counted on her fingers and said, "That seems to make sense, after all, Teacher Zhang is twenty years older than Xiao He."
Xiao He: ...
Zhang Mo clutched his chest: ?
For a moment, Zhang Mo did feel as if he had aged several years in an instant, and even his heart began to ache slightly.
