A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

Chapter 309 Things Are Turning Forward

The next morning, when everyone got up, the filming crew had already made preparations.

Equipment checks have been completed in several key areas, including the hotel lobby, restaurant, and entrance.

Since this was the program's first official live broadcast, Xia Ping was extremely cautious, leading his staff to check the lines, receivers, and backup equipment several times over.

The Dianping live stream officially started at 7:30 a.m.

After a night's rest, everyone's spirits have finally recovered considerably.

The group arrived at the hotel restaurant, each taking a plate and beginning to choose their breakfast.

In addition to the usual Chinese and Western dishes, the restaurant also specially prepared a number of Shaanxi Province specialties.

Su Fan took a bowl of meatball hot and sour soup, a serving of fried dough twists with oil tea, and a few side dishes.

After sitting down, he deliberately pushed his plate towards the camera, picked up a twisted dough stick, and said, "The breakfast here is quite good. Putting aside the regular buffet, they also prepare most of the specialties of Qin Province. This is a twisted dough stick with oil tea. Don't be fooled by its appearance; it tastes very good."

After saying that, he broke off a piece of twisted dough stick, soaked it in the oil tea, and put it in his mouth when it softened a little.

The photographer following the scene took the opportunity to give the plate a close-up shot.

He Xiaoxiao sat down next to him with her tray. Seeing his actions, she couldn't help but ask, "Isn't the show supposed to be about taking everyone on a trip? How come you're already eating right after the show started?"

Su Fan picked up a spoon and said matter-of-factly, "What's the first thing to do when traveling? Of course, it's to eat your fill. Besides, the show emphasizes authenticity. We have to let the audience see what kind of hotel we stayed in and what kind of breakfast we ate."

He Xiaoxiao glanced at the camera and deliberately undermined her, saying, "Then you have to tell the truth. You can't just say the nice things because they provided you with accommodation."

Su Fan pointed to the other guests in the restaurant and said calmly, "Whether it's good or not isn't up to me alone. You can find out the hotel's name, room price, and guest reviews on Dianping. If the audience thinks it's suitable, they can come; if they don't, they can go to another one. We're only responsible for showing our real experiences."

After he finished speaking, a wave of agreement immediately filled the live stream chat.

At the same time, many viewers also noticed that a hotel information card had appeared at the bottom of the live stream.

This is a feature that Dianping added specifically for this program.

Wherever the production team goes, the backend will automatically link to the corresponding hotels, scenic spots, or merchants.

Viewers don't need to leave the live stream; they can simply click on the information card to view the hotel's location, room type, price, guest reviews, and nearby transportation.

If you think it's suitable, you can make a reservation directly.

Immediately, many viewers clicked into the hotel's details page.

"That makes perfect sense. You can see and check what the hotel is really like!"

"I just checked the guest reviews, and this hotel already had a pretty good rating; it wasn't just artificially inflated after the show started airing!"

"The location is really good; it's not far from several popular attractions, and it's convenient to take the subway!"

"Has anyone gone to take a picture of the guest room? I'm planning a trip to Xi'an this weekend and I'm having trouble figuring out where to stay!"

"The room rates didn't increase temporarily because of the live broadcast, that's good!"

"Although Tengfei has had quite a few issues recently, judging from the live stream footage, the operation of its hotels doesn't seem to have been greatly affected!"

"The front desk, restaurant, and room service are all operating normally, and there are quite a few guests. It's nothing like what's being said online that it's about to close down!"

"At least so far, the service and breakfast seem normal. Instead of listening to people online making guesses, I'd rather watch the live stream myself!"

……

As more and more people started discussing it, the number of visits to the hotel's details page began to climb rapidly.

Some viewers who were already planning to travel to Xi'an placed orders directly after seeing the location, price, and reviews.

The booking numbers in the hotel's back-end system also change constantly.

Su Fan did not make any attempt to explain anything on behalf of Tengfei Group.

He simply pointed the camera at the hotel, presenting its most authentic operating conditions to all viewers without any concealment.

But this kind of visible, verifiable, and even directly experiential demonstration is far more convincing than any number of clarification announcements issued by Tengfei Group.

The people from Tengfei Group were all very excited when they saw this.

From the start of the live stream, the group's public opinion monitoring department has been keeping a close eye on the online trends.

At first, everyone was a little nervous.

After all, this was a live broadcast.

Any problems that appear in the footage could be captured and used as new material to attack Tengfei Group.

However, as Su Fan led the audience into the hotel restaurant, the public opinion in the live broadcast room began to change visibly.

The rumors about Tengfei's hotels closing down and its service teams being disbanded immediately lost their persuasiveness in the face of the real live broadcast footage.

More importantly, the hotel information cards in the live stream are continuously bringing in real traffic.

The head of the hotel's operations department strode into the conference room, clutching the data he had just compiled. His excitement was barely concealed: "Mr. Ye, since the live stream started, the number of visits to the hotel's details page has already exceeded the total for the past week, and bookings continue to rise."

Ye Sicheng immediately took the report: "How much exactly did it increase?"

The person in charge tried to calm himself down: "The bookings for the next week have already increased by 47 percent. The main room types for the outdoor performance are basically fully booked. At the current rate, the numbers will continue to increase in the following days."

A suppressed murmur immediately filled the conference room.

These days, Tengfei Group has been under tremendous pressure.

The negative news online not only affected the group's stock price, but also directly impacted its hotels, scenic spots, and travel agencies.

Some projects are still operating normally, but bookings are declining due to those rumors.

The group has issued announcements and made clarifications.

However, many people believe that the company's statements are driven by a desire to save itself, making them difficult to fully trust.

No one expected that Su Fan would change the situation with just one breakfast.

Staff from the public opinion department quickly reported: "Currently, negative comments about Tengfei in the live broadcast room are decreasing, many netizens have begun to spontaneously explain on our behalf, and some people have even taken screenshots of the hotel's normal operation from the live broadcast and posted them on Weibo and short video platforms."

Another staff member added, "Several media outlets have contacted us to inquire about the current operational status of Tengfei's cultural tourism projects, and two travel agencies that had previously suspended cooperation have just inquired about the resumption time of subsequent routes."

Ye Sicheng listened to everyone's reports, but his face did not show much joy.

He pondered for a moment, then solemnly reminded everyone, "We've only just started to see some progress. Everyone mustn't get carried away. Public opinion can shift because of a live broadcast, and it can also turn around and be swayed by a single detail."

The meeting room quickly fell silent.

Ye Sicheng placed the report on the table and continued, "Notify the hotel to continue with the original service standards. Do not raise prices temporarily just because the live broadcast brings in customers, and do not lower the quality of service. During the program crew's stay, do not arrange for staff to approach the camera or to deliberately promote the show."

The hotel manager nodded solemnly: "Understood, I'll arrange it immediately."

"In addition, compile the real data from the backend and decide whether to release it to the public after the live stream ends, based on the actual situation. Don't rush to celebrate now, and don't use Su Fan's name for hype."
