When Xiao He returned to the villa, public opinion on the internet was polarized, and many netizens' enthusiasm for exploration was ignited.
Thanks to the buzz tonight, and the inherent popularity of both Xiao He and Lu Yuxi, one side now believes Xiao He made the mistake, while the other side believes Lu Yuxi did, leading to a heated debate between the two.
Don't doubt it, this is the internet.
Netizens used to debate for days and nights about the exact color of a dress in a photo, discussing hundreds of viewpoints in forums and even ordinary comment sections. Now, they can also have a "scientific" and "rigorous" discussion about who danced correctly and who danced incorrectly on stage between Xiao He and Lu ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) Yuxi.
It sounds boring and meaningless.
But many people enjoy it.
【Who posted this rehearsal screenshot? Was it a staff member? They seem to be wearing casual clothes. What if they made adjustments before going on stage? Isn't there any staff member who can confirm this?】
【This screenshot is too blurry and doesn't specify the time period. What if it shows the position at a different time?】
【As someone in the industry, I can only say that Lu Yuxi definitely made the right choice; Xiao He's marketing efforts are starting to pick up.】
【How can you prove you're an insider?】
【I saw the performance live, and honestly, I don't think there's any need to discuss this. The performance was absolutely amazing. Xiao He's stage presence was superb. If you had been there, you definitely wouldn't have been able to find a single flaw in Xiao He's performance.】
【Indeed, plus one from the live audience. They were initially happy to watch, but afterwards it felt like the sky had fallen. What on earth were you all discussing? Xiao He's performance was flawless. Why were you scrutinizing the stage performance of an ordinary actor with such a magnifying glass?】
【That's a good point. Actors should at least have a proper attitude when they sing and dance! Now that there's a problem, you're starting to be lenient again, bringing up their status as actors. It's unbelievable. I hope you'll always spoil your brother.】
【???】
【Who exactly wrote this?】
...
The online rumors are a mix of truth and falsehood, with "insiders," "on-site audience members," and "know-it-alls" all joining in, creating a confusing and unpredictable online landscape. This has left netizens jumping around, trying to find out what's going on, and thoroughly enjoying the drama.
As for these so-called "insiders" and "know-it-alls"... well, you can only say that their online identities are self-proclaimed. Whatever netizens say is taken as gospel, and those who actually believe them are truly blessed.
The discussion among these people completely transformed tonight's farcical gala performance into a debate between the two sides. Some people even brought up the fact that an ambulance was seen at the event, but this was quickly suppressed and replaced by a new topic.
The netizens, who were discussing the matter enthusiastically, naturally didn't forget to ask the people involved to come forward and give their accounts. They frantically tagged several people at the scene in various comment sections. Xiao He, Xie Jingshi, and Lu Yuxi were all tagged, and even the other people at the scene were tagged by netizens.
Because the production team gave advance notice, many people did not respond directly. The key figures in the incident remained as calm as ever, not uttering a word, seemingly completely unconcerned about the online public opinion.
On the contrary, another artist present couldn't help but speak up for Hsiao Ho publicly.
【ECL boy group - Liang Cheng: The practice room and rehearsal venue are monitored by surveillance cameras. Rumors stop with the wise. Please don't harbor such malice towards others before the truth is revealed.】
Xiao He was somewhat surprised when he saw the message.
He and Liang Cheng weren't very familiar with each other. Although they had been practicing at the same dance studio recently, they only nodded to each other and hadn't really talked much.
Seeing Liang Cheng publicly supporting him, Xiao He was both surprised and somewhat confused.
Actually, Xiao He had noticed before that Liang Cheng had some ulterior motive in contacting him, but since Liang Cheng himself did not have any malicious intent, Xiao He turned a blind eye and maintained a friendly relationship without investigating further.
However, he didn't expect the other party to be willing to get involved in this mess.
If the other party is trying to ride the coattails of the situation, there's no need for that. The ECL boy band is currently very popular, and they also participated in this event. Although their popularity isn't as high as the Xiao He and Lu Yuxi incident, things are peaceful and everyone is on good terms, without much fan war.
After putting down his phone, Xiao He gazed at the night outside the window and told Liu Rulan, who was standing next to him, about the incident.
Liu Rulan had been connected to the video conference the whole time. After listening to Xiao He's words, she temporarily turned off her microphone and calmly said, "He probably wants to switch jobs."
"ah?"
Xiao He was taken aback for a moment, then pointed to himself, his voice tinged with surprise, "Jumped over to our side?"
To be honest, Linghui Entertainment has never really considered bringing an idol into the company.
Overall, their company's resources and future plans are geared towards the acting career.
Among the current artists, Xiao He and Shu Han are basically pure actors, they don't participate in various variety shows, at most they appear as guest stars to help promote their dramas, and otherwise they are on set.
The only actress, Pan Yuerou, is currently focused on her studies as she will not graduate until next year. The company has not yet arranged any particularly complicated work for her, but has mostly enrolled her in extra classes to continue honing her acting skills.
All these circumstances indicate that their company has no plans to expand into other businesses for the time being, and is preparing to continue its foray into the performing arts industry in the future.
Xiao He really couldn't understand what Liang Cheng saw in them that made him want to come to their company.
Can't they expect to come here and transform from an idol into an actor?
Forgive Xiao He for speaking frankly, but at their age, they're still stuck in the idol industry, relying on their youth for a living. Is it because they don't want to change their career path?
Being a singer? That's barely acceptable. Being an actor? That's incredibly difficult.
Xiao He is not someone who can be recruited by his company.
Faced with Xiao He's question, Liu Rulan merely glanced at him sideways and slightly raised her chin: "Have you forgotten who I brought with me before?"
"Hmm?" Xiao He looked at Liu Rulan, then seemed to remember something. "Su Shengxi? He used to be an idol too! Speaking of which, during his peak period after going solo, it was indeed Sister Liu who mentored him..."
Xiao He understood.
Damn! So this kid's got his eye on his manager!
Although their company's business doesn't currently cover that area, Sister Liu has experience in that field. Moreover, Jiaxing Entertainment has always favored the path of solo boy band idols transitioning into actors. If Liu Rulan were to mentor Liang Cheng, the transition might not be successful, but it's possible that she could help Liang Cheng stabilize his current idol popularity and lead him to continue striving for the top of the boy band scene.
So in the end, Liang Cheng didn't want to switch companies to their company; he simply wanted to switch to his agent's company!
Xiao He was speechless and choked with emotion.
“ECL boy group only became popular this year, so logically he shouldn’t want to switch companies during this special period. But since this situation has occurred, there must be other unspeakable difficulties.” Liu Rulan analyzed, “However, he has his difficulties, and we have ours. There is no point in him contacting us.”
They can't help Liang Cheng.
"Then I should just ignore him?"
Xiao He glanced through the comments.
"That kid insisted on getting involved in this mess, and now he's getting a lot of flak."
