What happened that night eventually became a trending topic on social media.
There was no other way; hotel staff, scenic area personnel, and rescue teams were all mobilized, and celebrities from the entertainment industry were also involved, which immediately generated a lot of buzz.
Although the final outcome for the four individuals involved is still unknown, bloggers have already begun creating videos about the incident and uploading them to short video platforms.
One of the bloggers was originally a member of the rescue team. His daily short videos mainly focused on recording his daily life. He would also occasionally help with rescue missions with his friends. He had even been involved in several incidents and appeared on the short video platform "Secret Garden".
*Secret Garden: A short video account dedicated to reviewing outdoor adventure accidents to remind future generations to respect nature and cherish life.
Upon learning that the rescue mission was related to a variety show that was being filmed, the blogger turned on the recording device on his chest as soon as he went up the mountain.
Therefore, his video records the cause and effect of this incident in a relatively complete manner.
Of course, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this should have been authorized by the production team. After all, the production team also wants the buzz, but they can't actually say anything themselves to avoid being accused of conspiracy theories. So having a "third party" record the information fairly is very helpful for guiding the production team's public opinion.
Sure enough, the video went viral as soon as it was released, quickly garnering over two million likes, shares, and comments.
The funniest part is that the video faithfully records the scene where the rescue team leader talks to Xiao He, but at first he doesn't recognize Xiao He at all.
In fact, not only the rescue team leader, but netizens almost didn't recognize him either.
The footage was shaky and the scene was chaotic. Everyone only recognized their brother Xiao from a fleeting glimpse of him in the lower left corner.
At that time, Xiao He was looking down at the computer with a serious expression. In the dim light, his face was illuminated by the computer screen, making him look completely different from before, exuding an aura of domineering power as a behind-the-scenes boss in control of everything.
However, because the flash was so fast, many people almost missed it. It was only thanks to the frantic reminders from the viewers in the live chat that they were finally able to find the person in the paused screen.
During the Q&A session, more people recognized Xiao He's voice.
Although the blogger only records everyone's chest and not their face, and sometimes even blurs their face to prevent privacy leaks, Xiao He's voice is still very distinctive. Basically, anyone familiar with him can recognize him immediately.
Most importantly—
This computer technology is perfectly aligned with Xiao He himself!
【Warning: High-energy content ahead! Pay attention to the handsome guy in the bottom left corner.】
【Wow, Brother Xiao is awesome! Others provide the labor, he provides the technology; that's like a game-changer.】
【They say the most charming people are those who can solve problems. Brother Xiao, what other surprises do you have up your sleeve that I don't know about?】
【I have to say, Brother Xiao's drone is truly amazing! If it could be put into use by rescue teams, many rescue operations would be much more efficient!】
【Just between you and me, several people I know outside the industry have said that Brother Xiao is a programmer genius whose talent was wasted on acting. This has once again proven his worth; it's terrifying.】
【When did Brother Xiao go to Chengdu? Is this a variety show? Why did he suddenly go to record a variety show? I thought he was on set.】
【This is the variety show "Wandering Through Mountains and Rivers". If you're interested, you can click to reserve a spot. The first episode should be released soon.】
【This is absolutely outrageous! A sasaeng fan crossed a snow-covered mountain to see their idol, and almost ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) died on the mountain. If the production team hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly found someone to rescue them, they probably would have had to restart the show.】
【To be honest, I'm not satisfied that they didn't freeze to death on the mountain. Are these people even worth saving? It's a waste of resources and manpower.】
【There's no need to be so vicious. I just hope this matter can be handled seriously. Otherwise, if others imitate this in the future, celebrities will be out of a job. Having fans like this is just terrible luck.】
【I used to think Wu Chuyi was sometimes pretentious and had a really low emotional intelligence when he spoke, but now I'm starting to pity him.】
【You can skip directly to 8:12 in the video; Wu Chuyi's expression after recognizing the stalker is truly remarkable.】
【Haha, this video has too many elements, I suggest watching it repeatedly.】
While some netizens watched the video as just making jokes, others who watched it more closely were more interested in the brand of the drone Xiao He used and the AI-based rescue technology he developed.
Although the rescue scene was chaotic, and the blogger followed the others into the mountains, paying little attention to Xiao He, they were very interested in the drones! They basically talked about drones the whole time.
Moreover, this drone is really cool. It's all black, understated and low-key. Even when hidden in the dark, it gives people a sense of reliable security. The blogger filmed the drone while walking, and his teammates were analyzing the brand and model of the two drones. As a result, the audience had a very deep impression of the two drones.
In the final scene, the young man slowly closes his laptop and looks up at the sky—
Immediately afterwards, the two mysterious drones flew out of the night and slowly landed in front of the young man, then dimmed their lights again, as if they had officially completed their mission.
The others around him couldn't wait to rush up and surround him like a star, asking him all sorts of questions.
Even though no one else's face was shown, the person in the center was so eye-catching. The aura of a tech geek was shining brightly at this moment. Even just showing a chin was enough to make the comments in the video go completely crazy!
【This tech geek is awesome!】
【Tech geeks save the world!!!】
【My god, he's this handsome even without showing his face?】
【What else is there to say? I don't care about my knees, can I get a drone like the one you're kneeling on in exchange for that?】
What should we say when we meet Xiao He?
【Brother Xiao is awesome!!!】
This concludes the footage of Xiao He. The last few minutes are the blogger's brief summary of the incident. He also made sure to end by urging everyone to be rational in their idol worship, not to get too carried away, not to disregard their own lives, and to respect nature and cherish life.
The audience, on the other hand, felt a mix of surprise and frustration, as if they had been there in person to witness the event.
Many netizens kept asking the blogger Xiao He what brand and model of drone it was, saying it looked very high-end and they wanted to buy the same model.
Unfortunately, the blogger himself didn't know either, and Xiao He didn't explain it very clearly at the time. So the blogger could only regretfully explain what he knew in the comments section and subtly remind everyone to follow the trend rationally and not to be fooled by other advertisers.
Actually, let's not even talk about bloggers.
The very next day, as soon as the public opinion began to ferment, Liu Rulan told Xiao He that 80% of the drone brands on the market had approached him.
This does not include other related businesses and rescue organizations.
Even the black windbreaker that Xiao He casually wore that night sold out immediately, with countless people following suit and buying the same style. The brand of the windbreaker was so anxious that it transferred money to Xiao He overnight, asking him to be their spokesperson and thanking him for advertising for them.
Almost no one expected that Xiao He would become the biggest beneficiary of this incident, which was just a nighttime rescue operation.
However, this was indeed due to Xiao He's own excellent skills, as he modified the drone to directly carry the rescue team.
On the other hand, "Wandering Through Mountains and Rivers," which really got lucky, started its pre-release promotion early in the morning, planning to make the events of that night a special episode and release it separately.
Hu Pei smiled broadly, wanting to increase Xiao He's pay again and begging him to record another episode.
However, the promotional period for the second season of "Yu Ye" was approaching, and Xiao He was simply unable to get away, so Liu Rulan could only regretfully decline.
