Master Grim Reaper Makes His Debut in Center Position

Chapter 24

Ch24.1 - Are These Ratings Really Real?
Dongcheng TV had relied on variety shows to build its name. Even though it couldn’t avoid the impact of internet streaming platforms in recent years, its reputation still remained.

The four mentors and several popular members in the trainee group had greatly helped with fueling the avid discussions that had been ongoing since ‘Birth of an Idol’ had first begun its preparations.

The first to hit the hot search list was naturally the Film Emperor with an extremely large fanbase, Ji Xiunian.

One had to know that Ji Xiunian was the type of person who never appeared on screen unless he was filming something. This was the first time he had appeared on a variety show.

The fans were naturally excited to see their male god do business after much difficulty.

Opening up the #Ji Xiunian Birth of an Idol# topic would reveal an entire collection of high definition photos and colourful rainbow farts—

[@Nian Gao Really Loves Eating Fried Chicken: Aaaaaaaaa, Nian ge is finally back in business. This appearance is too wonderful, Scream Chicken Mode on]

[Niannian’s Outer Circle Girlfriend: Nian ge’s legs aren’t legs, spring water by the Seine, slurp!!]

[@A Sweet Lemon: I bet the trainees don’t want to be in the same frame as the Film Emperor. Being compared to such an immortal-like mentor, it’ll be hard to stand out in the show.]

…

The fans of the three other mentors were not willing to show any weaknesses. Since they were all a family, they were obligated by principle to send them all to the hot search in an orderly fashion.

Not even five minutes after the broadcast, the show was trending due to the mentors’ fanbases. This could only be attributed to the producer Fan Zeng’s ability to choose people.

Seeing the show’s popularity climbing, many of the trainees’ companies were so excited they began preparing a suitable response in anticipation of a hot search. But before they could take any action, a contestant had already appeared on the hot searches—

The moment Lu Xu appeared on stage and gave his introduction, netizens with sharp eyes recognised him—

[@Wise Girls Should Have Bald Heads: Wait wait what did I just see, isn’t this subway xiao gege?!]

[@Green Green Grassland Carrying Handle: Aaaaaaaaaa it’s really my husband! It makes me think of all the days I couldn’t find him. Turns out he went to join an idol survival show.]

[@Riding a Basic Dog Chasing Planes: Xiao gege is really so handsome, I feel like my child was born the moment his face appeared.]

@Empress Loli: The spring of the face dog has come hehe~~]

…

Lu Xu had been on the hot searches before due to the #Subway xiao gege# tag, but at that time no one knew who this boy was. They had tried to solve this puzzle for a while but were about to forget about him. Who would’ve thought he would appear in everyone’s line of sight again as a trainee.

There were many who called him ‘husband’ online; naturally, there would also be some ‘reasonable guests’ who pointed out that Lu Xu was just acting for the hype.
