The livestream of the second episode of You Make My Heart Flutter's third season had just ended.
With the show's impact still going strong, coupled with the statement released by GY Group, Nan Zhou was getting tremendous attention online.
Limited-Time Melody certainly wasn't going to pass up this ready-made publicity. It had already posted repeatedly on Weibo and other major social platforms that Nan Zhou would be joining tomorrow's live recording.
"Looking forward to seeing our Zhou Bao on the show tomorrow."
"Fly boldly, Brother Nan, and take the blame yourself if anything happens. We fans are just here for the entertainment and want to see a bloodbath, hahahaha."
"Will we get a second 'Summer Flame'? I'm so ready for this. Sob, sob, I want to see more of my baby focusing on his career."
Xingzhou CP fans and Nan Zhou's fans obligingly left comments under the official Weibo account's posts.
But the dating show's fans and the music show's fans didn't overlap completely. Besides, Limited-Time Melody had initially promoted itself as a professional songwriting show aimed at creating music for a new era, so the behind-the-scenes songwriters invited early on all had impressive-looking résumés.
Nan Zhou had started out as an idol and had no notable works to his name, making him very unpopular with the variety show's original audience.
Although some viewers had watched You Make My Heart Flutter and were doing their best to tell everyone about Nan Zhou's songwriting abilities, they still couldn't avoid getting flamed.
"Do you even remember you're a music show?! Can you focus on making music and cut out all this nonsense?"
"Who's Nan Zhou? How many notable songs does he have? You only invited him for the traffic, and let's be honest, didn't Huo Xingye give him all that traffic anyway?"
