Entertainment: Starting from joining Kugou Video

While the "Produce 101" project team racked their brains to promote the show and attract attention, Tang Lou's previous contingency plans were revealed one by one.

First up is the little pig!

Show Lo and internet celebrity Zhou Yang were photographed wearing matching outfits on a date in Hangzhou!

Before this, Show Lo wasn't that popular in mainland China, but after the first episode of "Produce 101" aired, his humorous personality and singing and dancing talent attracted many fans.

While Show Lo was filming a show in Hangzhou, Zhou Yang couldn't contain herself and rushed from Beijing to Hangzhou. The two were photographed staying at the same hotel.

After the photos of the two were released, Show Lo immediately posted on Weibo:

"Yes... thank you everyone! And thank you to the teachers for your hard work too!"

Zhou Yang was originally just an internet celebrity, but her public attention surged after her relationship with Show Lo was exposed.

On Weibo, hashtags such as #Shower'sGirlfriend# and #ZhouYangPlasticSurgery# trended on the hot search list, sparking discussions across the internet.

As a mentor on "Produce 101", Show Lo became the focus of public opinion, and the show naturally attracted more attention.

However, when the incident first broke out, the online comments about Show Lo and Zhou Yang were somewhat negative.

The project team of "Produce 101" also held an emergency meeting overnight to discuss public relations.

Shen Jiamin, Chen Jian, and others were somewhat worried, and Xiaozhu also expressed some apologies after the video conference.

Based on his past life experience, Tang Lou meticulously proposed a public relations plan:

"Little Pig, you should urge Zhou Yang to publish an article as soon as possible, openly admitting that everyone has the right to become more beautiful, and publicly sharing his experience with plastic surgery."

"At the same time, let her flaunt her wealthy family background and the fact that she has already started her own business, creating a persona of someone who dares to love and hate, and is very open and generous!"

"In addition, our production team will also post a statement to support Zhou Yang, highlighting her as a beautiful example of a girl's dream outside of 'Produce 101'! She is also our 102nd brave girl to pursue her dream outside the show!"

Upon hearing Tang Lou's proposed solution, everyone was astonished; this approach was simply brilliant!

That evening, Zhou Yang posted a clarification on Weibo.

Zhou Yang, who is a second-generation rich kid, directly posted photos on Weibo with friends such as Stanley Ho's daughter He Chaolian and Zheng Shuang.

She also shared her daily life in a courtyard house in Beijing.

Thanks to Tang Lou's machinations, Zhou Yang's image was completely reversed in just a few hours.

Netizens started praising it.

"Zhou Yang is not an internet celebrity who rose to fame by using Show Lo's connections. She is an independent woman from a well-off family."

"Zhou Yang is unpretentious and down-to-earth; this is the kind of woman we should be seeing in our new era. This is also the encouragement that 'Produce 101' has given us!"

"Everyone has the right to become more beautiful. We support Zhou Yang for openly discussing her cosmetic surgery and sharing her experiences!"

Amidst the support from these netizens, Wang Sicong, known as the "nation's husband," also reposted a Weibo post supporting Zhou Yang, addressing her as "Sister Zhou"!

In a short time, netizens increasingly agreed that Zhou Yang was the leading lady, the 102nd girl chasing her dream outside of "Produce 101"!

On the same day, the official account of "Produce 101" also reposted the interaction with Zhou Yang.

Show Lo also posted on Weibo: "She hadn't had plastic surgery when I met her; I loved her personality!"

In an instant, Zhou Yang's image as a bold, outspoken, and independent woman was firmly established, and she directly became a concrete reflection of the values ​​of "Produce 101" in society!

This has greatly increased the popularity and attention surrounding "Produce 101"!

Seeing Tang Lou's perfect solution, his colleagues were all completely convinced.

"Assistant Tang is a genius at navigating challenges. By leveraging Show Lo and Zhou Yang's relationship, she directly elevated the values ​​of independent women in 'Produce 101,' making our show more accepted and recognized by women."

Shen Yan was equally impressed by Tang Lou's talent in tackling key problems, and was also somewhat shocked.

"It seems he had a well-thought-out plan when inviting guests. Besides their talent and ability, these guests themselves have become tools for attracting viewers to the show! This kid really knows how to calculate everything. Impressive!"

Thanks to Show Lo and Zhou Yang's excellent promotion, Huang Zitao, one of the mentors on "Produce 101," has made headlines again.

"Huang Zitao announces contract termination with South Korea's SM Entertainment!"

When SM Entertainment sued Huang Zitao for breach of contract, Huang Zitao, with the advice of Tang Lou, directly posted a message on Weibo to confront them!

"SM Entertainment exploits its artists, fails to fulfill its obligation to protect them, forces them to perform in injured conditions, causing old injuries to flare up, and then doesn't provide adequate treatment!"

At the same time, a core point was also made: SM Entertainment treats Chinese artists and Korean artists differently.

Huang Zitao's contract termination is a brave counterattack by a young man who has suffered injustice against a dragon!

"This year has been the most devastating year for me. I was alone abroad for the past few months and had no one to talk to, which led to a period of depression. Fortunately, Brother Tang Lou offered me a job opportunity back in China."

"I cherish this job opportunity and am inspired by the girls from 'Produce 101'. We should all bravely pursue our dreams."

"Produce 101 was also my salvation; it was my chance to break through the soil. I'm grateful to it for allowing me to grow towards the sun!"

Another explosive news story, which directly topped the Weibo trending topics!

Huang Zitao's experiences and struggles once again perfectly interact with the spirit of "Produce 101".

As a member of EXO and one of the four members who returned to China, Huang Zitao naturally had a lot of popularity. This time, he broke his contract with SM Entertainment and stood up against them, risking the destruction of his career to seek justice!

It perfectly portrays Huang Zitao's indomitable and courageous character!

This spirit of resistance against workplace exploitation and PUA instantly resonates with the core spirit of independent women in "Produce 101"!

On Weibo, the contestants of "Produce 101" simultaneously posted messages to support their mentor, Huang Zitao.

"Brother Tao told us: Remember! Being a kind person is more important than anything else. We believe Brother Tao is a kind person, and we all support him."

"Brother Tao, from now on, I will stand up bravely and no longer be timid!"

"Brother Tao, terminating our contract with SM isn't scary. We'll turn the tide and rise towards the sun!"

...

After the trainees from "Produce 101" expressed their support and voiced their agreement, Huang Zitao burst into tears on the spot.

Online, netizens were also moved by Huang Zitao and the mutual support among the girls of "Produce 101"!

Huang Zitao and related topics from "Produce 101" once again topped the trending searches!

Netizens also strongly support this kind-hearted man from Qingdao, Shandong!

The outrage against the heartless SM Entertainment has directly ignited nationalistic sentiments!

This wave of efforts and public relations campaigns has once again generated a surge in online traffic.

On an emotional level, the staff were deeply moved when they saw the spontaneous messages of support from the contestants of "Produce 101".

On a rational level, the staff felt terrified and horrified. Tang Lou, the mastermind behind all of this, had taken all of this into account when planning the program and selecting guests.

Without a doubt, this is what Tang Lou wants netizens and viewers to see!

And he clearly achieved his goal!

Even before the second week's episodes have aired, the level of discussion surrounding them has already surpassed that of any other program or drama on any video platform!

Within a week, the top three trending topics were all dominated by the mentors and contestants of "Produce 101".

Shen Yan was also stunned by Tang Lou's outrageous actions.

With this unprecedented attention, the number of website members surged again within a week!

The paid spin-off programs that Tanglou had previously developed, which involved cooking fish in multiple ways, also made a fortune!

Shen Yan sat at his desk, looking at the latest membership data, paid data, and the show's viewership and popularity, and was deeply impressed.

"This tenement building is truly a monster; it plans ten steps ahead for every one step it takes, and it can even leverage the guest popularity like this."
