There are various opinions, but no unified conclusion has emerged despite thorough discussions. Ultimately, the two most recognized theories are: One is that the Variety Arts Station wants to promote traditional culture, so they innovated in programming this year by inviting the rising star Qi Shejiang, who is also a new member of the variety arts scene—seems to have had a good effect, and everyone’s discussing it. The second is that Tang Shuangqin is paving the way for a film, leveraging his relationship with the producer to push Qi Shejiang to the Variety Arts Station’s Spring Festival Gala. Follow-up news may even see similar arrangements for a male or female lead role.
While the outside world is in an uproar, Qi Shejiang himself is in closed training and not accepting interviews. The media is inquiring everywhere, and when they asked Meng Jingyuan, he inexplicably said, “If I could push someone, why wouldn’t I push the Meng family’s disciples first?” True, although Meng Jingyuan clearly expressed his admiration for Qi Shejiang, it doesn’t reach that level. Some reporters creatively harassed Lin Yang, hoping for his insights.
Lin Yang nearly spat blood; he had already scolded at home upon seeing the news, as he couldn’t even appear on this gala—he’s not the most outstanding in the crosstalk world.
