On the same night that "Flying Over the Snow Mountain" was released, the hashtag "【Missing your stop is human nature】" trended at a high level on social media.
Because this short video was only played in Chengdu's subway stations today, netizens in other regions who were unaware of it were still a bit confused when they saw this trending topic.
But after they clicked in and found out what happened, they all burst out laughing and joined in the memes and replies in the comments section.
【I don't know, by the time I came to my senses I had already reached the final stop.】
【Family, guess why I spent over four hours on the subway today?】
【Who missed their stop twice in one day? Oh, it's me.】
【But this is Brother Xiao, so there's nothing we can do.】
【I didn't do anything today, just rode the subway.】
【Damn, how can a guy be this handsome?】
Falling in love with Brother Xiao is only natural.
【Another reason to visit Chengdu this winter.】
【After watching this, I immediately quit my job to go skiing. I'm not going to work at this crappy class anymore.】
...
While netizens joked about the anecdote, they also discussed the content of the video. Chengdu was already a popular winter tourist destination, and now, with the help of this video, it has jumped several places in the rankings.
Xiao He has also become an important spokesperson for Chengdu's culture and tourism. His dashing figure overlooking the vast land from the snow-capped mountains has touched the hearts of countless people.
The Chengdu Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism was overjoyed to see this and posted video clips of Xiao He and posters of Xiao He as a cultural and tourism ambassador on its official account for several days in a row, eager to let more people see Xiao He's charm.
As a result, the snow-capped mountains, which were already often overcrowded, ushered in another peak in their popularity.
The hotel manager who was filming the show was quite a character. After discovering the situation, he had a sudden inspiration and immediately upgraded the hot spring pool to the highest level for the day the show was filming. He also made sure to include related materials from "Wandering Through Mountains and Rivers" in the promotional materials.
The hotel made a fortune with almost no need for any further artistic additions.
However, every tourist who comes ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) to soak in the hot springs looks at the fence surrounding the wooded area behind the mountain with a slight sense of doubt.
The hotel naturally wouldn't take the blame for the initial problem, and promptly explained the bizarre story of the illegitimate child crossing the snow-capped mountain "for love." As a result, the day after the hotel became an internet sensation, this incident became a long-standing source of amusement in the neighborhood.
Of course, some curious passengers also inquired about the follow-up to the handling of this matter.
To ensure tourists could enjoy the complete story, the hotel manager went to investigate further and then kindly replied on the official account.
"The people involved were detained after paying the rescue fees. They should be out by now, but I heard that one of the celebrities is still filing a lawsuit. We don't know much about the follow-up situation."
The resourceful netizens dug deeper and discovered that both the paparazzi and the stalkers had been sued by Wu Chuyi's team.
【This is the episode I support Wu Chuyi the most!】
【Haha, leaving behind both amusement and lawsuits, their trip was worthwhile.】
【I still can't believe that these four wilderness novices could actually trespass down the mountain behind the hotel just to take photos.】
【Those two generations of cameras even climbed back on their own! That's outrageous.】
【Unknown wilderness experience and abilities, but exceptional resilience.】
【Yeah, it's terrifying to even talk about. And they even abandoned those two illegitimate children on the road. While those illegitimate children deserve to die, what they did is practically murder.】
【I can only say, these people could do anything with that kind of perseverance, but they choose to become proxy photographers. Pshaw.】
Meanwhile, the official team of "Wandering Through Mountains and Rivers" did not miss this opportunity and made an official announcement at a very fast pace, preparing to launch the first phase.
If it weren't for the fact that there were still a few episodes left to build up, Xiao He would seriously suspect that the other side was planning to make his episode the first episode.
This topic and its popularity have caused Hu Pei countless times to wail in anguish, lamenting that he "missed out."
However, what's done is done, and Hu Pei could only wait anxiously for Xiao He's next available slot.
...
"Hey, what's going on here? This is my own child, I'm already here, and I can't take the kid back, and you two are still arguing with me—"
The comedians on stage gestured and gesticulated to liven up the atmosphere, while the audience below responded with laughter.
The camera followed the crowd of people in the audience and panned towards Xiao He, who was sitting upright with a faint smile on his face.
Right now, they are at the recording site of a local TV station's Spring Festival Gala.
As is customary, these local TV station Spring Festival galas are usually able to complete the recording by the end of January, with only supplementary recordings in February, and are broadcast on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
This is why many people see the same celebrity appearing multiple times on different Spring Festival Gala stages on the same day.
Xiao He thought this arrangement was pretty good. At least during the Spring Festival Gala, he would have his own rest time instead of sitting on stage listening to boring jokes.
Yes, even local TV stations cannot avoid the element of "boredom".
Xiao He felt that he was becoming increasingly impatient. He didn't even have the interest to listen to others sing while sitting down—well, after all, most of them were lip-syncing, and as for the remaining few, they were simply awful.
Performing on stage is difficult, and being a "qualified" audience member can sometimes be quite difficult as well.
Local Spring Festival galas are recorded in separate sessions, and sometimes the order may be rearranged, so Xiao He sat below and waited until the afternoon.
Just before dinner time, a staff member finally came over and whispered to remind Xiao He's table, "Teacher Xiao, the magic show is about to begin, please get ready."
"OK."
Xiao He and the others immediately began to check the "devices" on their bodies.
On stage, the hosts began to steer the conversation toward magic.
It has to be said that the magic show on the Spring Festival Gala every year has some highlights. It is not as boring as crosstalk and skits, and it is full of mystery. Almost every year, a group of sharp-eyed netizens try to dig deep into the principles behind it, so as to uncover the truth behind the magic.
So when the host turned the camera on Xiao He and his group, the atmosphere became more lively, and people at the nearby tables craned their necks to watch curiously.
This is a bit nerve-wracking.
However, Ge Fu was clearly used to the atmosphere of the magic show, and he greeted the people in front of the screen very skillfully, saying some lines he had prepared in advance.
Next up was the trio of Xiao He, Xie Jingshi, and Chen You.
"Teacher Xiao, many people say that magicians are just actors who can deceive people. Do you agree with this statement?"
Ge Fu smiled and handed the microphone to Xiao He. Xiao He then revealed the nervousness one would feel when appearing on a TV show for the first time, and said, "I don't know, but I think you can't fool the eyes of everyone here, after all, there are so many people sitting here."
Ge Fu chuckled and handed the microphone to Chen You: "Teacher Chen, what do you think?"
Chen You: "I'll be keeping a close eye on you."
Ge Fu could only sigh helplessly, "That's it. Tonight's magic trick relied on deceiving people. If you're all on guard against me, won't I be unable to perform any magic tricks?"
Xie Jingshi chuckled and replied, "Don't worry, Teacher Ge. The production team just sent me to be your shill. Come on, tell me your plans quietly—"
Ge Fu was shocked: "You can't say things like that! The viewers in front of the TV are watching!"
He patted his pockets up and down, and finally took off his wristwatch, handing it to Xie Jingshi: "With everyone here as witnesses, I entrust this watch to you for safekeeping. Is that alright?"
"That won't work."
Xiao He reached out and snatched the watch, examining it closely: "Teacher Xie is your shill, so he'll definitely help you. There's probably something wrong with your watch; I need to check it."
"No problem at all."
Ge Fu then asked Xiao He to pick up the watch and show it to everyone.
