Question: What kind of celebrity did a variety show's production team like best?
Answer: The kind who delivered little surprises without any prompting from the production team and boosted their ratings.
And so, Xie Mi appeared.
Lately, Xiao Jingxi's livestream hadn't ranked particularly high in popularity among the eight streams.
The staff on Xiao Jingxi's Follow-Camera Crew had been suffering, constantly plagued by headaches over it.
To help solve their problem, Xie Mi offered them a little surprise courtesy of Xiao Jingxi.
"A nighttime prank shoot? Seriously? Is Best Actor Xiao really being this considerate of us?"
When Xie Mi told Xiao Jingxi's Follow-Camera PD that he planned to put on a little nighttime show to boost their livestream's ratings, the PD was overjoyed.
He immediately grabbed the cameraman and rushed to the Campsite. Following Xiao Jingxi's verbal instructions as relayed by Xie Mi, they dutifully hid off to the side to film some secret footage.
When the PD saw Xiao Jingxi sticking his butt out as he worked furiously to pry open the RV door, he was already covering his mouth and shedding tears of gratitude.
Back when the show had first started airing...
Their livestream had been the most popular of all eight. On the first broadcast day, they'd even taken first place by an overwhelming margin!
But what happened afterward?
As Xiao Jingxi's reputation crumbled, the livestream's popularity dwindled by the day. It only picked up occasionally when he got into a nasty fight with Xu Shuangrong or some other drama unfolded.
Otherwise, they consistently ranked near the bottom of the eight streams.
They'd thought Xiao Jingxi would stay laid-back about it forever. Who knew that, with the second stage almost over, he'd suddenly decide to give their team's numbers a boost?
Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful!
