Bai Wuxia's failure to condemn Xiang Yi with the exposé and the comment made by the netizen who asked him to become a paparazzi instead, was soon shared by several humor accounts on Weibo.
The new buzz phrase was "Since you're already condemned, why don't you switch careers and become a ____ instead?"
In a sense, Bai Wuxia had achieved his goal—the topic had indeed started trending.
However, what followed was not film directors inviting him to star in their productions but various tabloids and free media platforms extending an olive branch to him...
...
It was the second round of the games segment of NationalMassWorkout.
In the picture, Xiang Yi was wearing a neat and immaculate camouflage attire with a belt around her waist, accentuating her svelteness. Her hair was tied into a bun and she looked cold and indifferent while carrying a sniper that wasn't proportional to her body size at all.
However, she was unexpectedly...suave and beautiful.
In particular, when she shot, there was a blizzard of pop-up comments on the screen, such as "Ah, I died", "Sister Xiang Yi has shot my heart with the gun", "screen in front of me repeatedly died" and so on.
However, when the crowd discovered that she had "killed" her teammate, Jun Han, they burst into tears laughing.
For that part, Director Zhu used editing techniques that were similar to those used for movies about war. The camera kept switching between each person, and many impressive details were added post-production, with a variety of exciting and bloodthirsty music that left many fascinated. Some even forgot that it was just a variety show...
She froze in place.
The scene on the screen turned into an intense push-and-pull, pulling the crowd back to reality.
Some people criticized: [What's up with the shaky camera? It's making me so dizzy]
At that moment, the screen turned black and the subtitles, which were added during post-production, appeared on the screen, providing a brief description of the incident that happened to Xu Tumi on the day of filming...
When the audience read that Xu Tumi had been chased by a fugitive on the loose, the sounds of Xu Tumi crying and gasping for breath while running that Director Zhu added, were played. The edit was simply heart-wrenching!
--[Ahhhhh how could this happen!?!]
--[Oh my God, I've broken out in cold sweat through the screen]
--[Although I know that Xu Tumi is safe and sound, it's still heartbreaking to hear this clip!]
The gasps were getting more and more terse and in particular, a single scream of hers was enough for the audience to imagine the horrible scene at that time...
The psychotic fugitive chasing after a vulnerable and helpless young girl, like a beast hunting in the jungle...
But in the next second.
Swish-
The screen lit up.
As if it was a light at the end of the darkness, the dull light became brighter and brighter before finally being fixed on the scene of Xiang Yi running towards Xu Tumi.
The young girl was like a lean but athletic wild leopard as she pounced towards him!
Meanwhile...
The background music was a voice recording of Bai Wuxia's cynical remarks at that time, though his voice had been edited to sound different from his original voice.
"Let's stand farther away, in case Xiang Yi can't hold out, we'll both be doomed!"
"Hey, don't run towards us!"
"Aren't they afraid of dragging us down? Their EQ is really too low!"
"..."
The image of the young women fighting with all their might, coupled with those heartbreaking words, brought about a strong impact!
There was a slew of pop-up comments.
—— [I f**king cried out loud!]
—— [Why is Xiang Yi so nice?! They way she scurried over righteously really tugs at my heartstrings!]
--[Don't think I don't know who that person is just because the voice has been edited! Bai Wuxia, you'd better be condemned! I want you to be canceled!!!]
...
Even those netizens who started out by nitpicking and doubting Xiang Yi's qualification to be the main guest, began to tear up.
All the pop-up comments on the screen were uniform.
--[She deserves to be the main guest!]
--[She deserves to be the main guest!]
--[She deserves to be the main guest!]
