Chapter 990: A Familiar Smell
“Oh gosh, the production team is really good at playing this game. First they told us a hint about the mystery guests, then we will still have to wait for the show to start airing and for the guest to finally make their appearance before their ident.i.ties are finally revealed. Even if you weren’t watching the show, once you realize it’s a guest that you like, you will still have to rush over immediately and watch. This tactic is too playful.”
“This suffocating publicity move seem to smell rather familiar.”
“Doesn’t it feel pretty familiar? Don’t just keep staring at who the mystery guests are, take a look at the list of invited guests for that episode.”
Therefore, everyone went to take a look.
“Oh G.o.d, Lu Man!”
“Before the Chinese New Year, the production team had already publicized it. Back then, I didn’t treat it as much and just felt that the production team was prepared to fight head-on with The Performer. Now that I look at it again, the production team has really planned this out really well! Cla.s.sic X Files production team, you guys are very sick!”
“I was just wondering why this publicity move was so suffocating. Turns out it’s because Lu Man’s involved!”
“The production team invited Lu Man to be a guest. Could they have asked her to also help out with the public relations too?!”
“That’s very likely. If that’s the case, Lu Man is really terrifying. Inviting her to be a guest also comes with a free public relations publicity effect. That’s way too impressive.”
“You guys are too gullible, it completely isn’t free. Lu Man’s current net worth is the net worth of an artiste and that of a public relations officer. She is a celebrity now, so people will always tend to forget her ident.i.ty as a professional public relations officer. In reality, Lu Man probably had never tossed aside her public relations job. Right now, she is still a top expert in that industry. Her net worth as a public relations officer is probably even higher than her net worth as a celebrity.”
“No way. The above comment, are you saying that Cla.s.sic X Files paid Lu Man twice?”
“If this episode’s publicity really is Lu Man’s idea, then Cla.s.sic X Files had definitely given Lu Man two salaries.”
“Now that I think about it, it’s probably true. It indeed will be quite a waste if you don’t use Lu Man, a readily-available top public relations officer. If you wanted to ask her for help, you will usually have to queue up, but right now, since Lu Man is also partic.i.p.ating in the show, if the show’s viewers.h.i.+p ratings is high, it would be beneficial to her too.”
“I’m getting more and more curious as to who Guest W and Guest C are. They are pioneers in the film industry, a top A+-list big shot. Even though the possible candidates are suddenly a lot fewer, I still can’t think of who they could be. Production Team, you better not be bluffing us!”
The production team’s official Weibo replied, “We definitely aren’t bluffing you. If we are, our show’s viewers.h.i.+p ratings will definitely drop to last place.”
“Wow, that’s really harsh. Alright, then, we believe you.”
“But it’s really so hard to guess who W and C are. Who exactly are they?!”
Lu Man also reposted the post. There were some audience members who had already watched it on set who came over to join in the fun and tease the other netizens.
“I’ve been to the set to watch it. I guarantee that W and C are indeed who the official Weibo account said they are. They are super A+-list big shots in the film industry, and they had really never partic.i.p.ated in any other variety show before. Never mind variety shows, these two people have never even partic.i.p.ated in any other event or activity. Cla.s.sic X Files is their first appearance on a variety show.”
“The official Weibo is being too mean. I’ve been to the set to watch too. Let me give you guys another hint. W and C are good friends.”
Right at that moment, everyone became even more curious.
Everyone guessed every single person whose name started with W or C.
They had to be a big boss in the film industry, a male, and someone who had never partic.i.p.ated in a variety show.
“Oh gosh, would C be Cao Jingcheng?! Right now, he is an international film star. He even went to Hollywood to further his career and filmed two business films that both did exceptionally well at the box office. It’s rare for a Chinese to be doing well in America, and he even played an important role in the film. If they managed to invite him, the production team will have been sent to heaven.”
