He knew that Teacher Xue Laiyi had decided not to participate in the second season of The Coming One, and he even asked him why.
Xue Laiyi's answer was that some things are not as they appear.
He actually understood what was going on at the time, but he participated only to show that he was not an ungrateful person.
The media outlet called "Entertainment News" published the following message.
Recently, the music-themed internet talent show "The Coming One," produced by Tencent, has been exposed for having behind-the-scenes manipulation. "The Coming One" attracted countless eyes and saw a surge in traffic as soon as it was launched. In the later competition, "Xu Fan" was introduced, which further boosted the popularity of "The Coming One."
However, during the preparation for the second season of "The Coming One," it was revealed that the host, Zhang Dada, had an immoral private life and had affairs with Zhou Moumou and Wang Moumou, who were trainees for the second season of "The Coming One." Some netizens even provided photos to confirm this fact.
Rumors of unfair competition have spread across the internet. Several contestants from the first season have been exposed. The winner of the first season's record, "Little Box," one of the nine major labels, is a virtual character. He used a team to edit the sound and create music, combining multiple people into one, and finally achieved remarkable results, which is hard to understand. Is it a competitive program or a talent show?
In entertainment news, we only discuss the facts. If these issues are not resolved during the preparation of the second season of "The Coming One," the fame gained by "Xu Fan" will likely diminish significantly, and it may even affect Xu Fan's status as the champion.
As we all know, Xu Fan is affectionately called Brother Fan by his fans. Since The Coming One, he has released two albums, both of which sold extremely well. He has also been releasing new songs frequently recently, and even his song "Blue and White Porcelain" from just a few days ago attracted countless listeners.
However, if The Coming One doesn't address its current problems, this rising star program is very likely to be canceled.
The comments made in the entertainment industry did not directly criticize or point out any problems with gritted teeth.
Instead, it uses discussion, similar to argumentation or statement, to publish the actions of Tomorrow's Son. This is a change from the way "Entertainment News" used to publish content, but it is more convincing.
After all, those photos at least sufficiently demonstrate the host's problematic conduct.
Of course, the host may not be able to influence the entire program, but the essence of the matter is triggered by details, such as the question of whether the small box mentioned in the article was used for cheating.
Even though many people like Xiao Hezi and his anime-style approach, if you think about it carefully, is it really fair to compare something created by many people with a single person in a singing competition variety show?
Anime and manga are all man-made creations. A song is essentially created by multiple people, who also guide the creation of the anime/manga box. So, wouldn't that be considered bullying the weak with the many?
Of course, most importantly, besides entertainment news, many media outlets, as if they had planned it all in advance, suddenly started publishing all sorts of content.
The popularity of this variety show produced by Tencent needs no further explanation.
They had hoped to capitalize on the fame of the first season of "The Coming One" to quickly begin filming the second season, but unexpectedly, this news broke out at that moment.
When the news broke that mentor Xue Laiyi would not be participating in the second season of "The Coming One," the internet exploded.
Actually, if Xue Laiyi doesn't participate in the second season, it can be announced after The Coming One.
The key point is that before the official announcement of "The Coming One" was even made online, news broke that Xue Laiyi would not be participating.
In that case, at this critical juncture, it feels completely different.
Most importantly, Xue Laiyi did not come out to clarify or say anything to clarify that this was not the case.
Does such silence constitute a form of acquiescence?
Xu Fan frowned as he looked at the news on his phone.
Zhao Feiyang, sitting next to Xu Fan, said, "My suggestion is to refuse to participate in The Coming One."
Xu Fan raised his head and said, "Can I take this as kicking someone when they're down?"
Zhao Feiyang stared at Xu Fan and said, "That's the truth. Can't we let people explain it clearly?"
Xu Fan shook his head and said, "You have to understand that most programs in the entertainment industry are like this. Just because we've seen them doesn't mean we should do anything about them."
Zhao Feiyang said, "You mean, we're not going to do anything?"
Xu Fan stood up, walked to the window, and watched the cars coming and going outside, lost in thought.
Actually, this matter is very simple; it's just that some inside stories of entertainment variety shows have been exposed.
Some are true, some are false; no one can say for sure.
Tencent will certainly not sit idly by. No matter how big the impact of this matter is, it will disappear completely in a short time.
If I were to refuse outright now, it would be tantamount to kicking someone when they're down.
Of course he can be so carefree; whether or not he offends Tencent has no impact on him whatsoever.
The key point is that the emergence of the show "The Coming One" is a testament to his growth.
At this point, he couldn't live with himself doing such a thing.
At that time, his real idea was to participate, or rather, to participate and, in his own way, make the show "The Coming One" more formal and fair.
Every variety show has some inside stories, more or less. The key is whether they are exposed or seen by others.
We cannot say someone is bad just because we have seen them, nor can we say someone is good just because we haven't seen them.
This is a very real problem. In fact, most of what you see is what others want you to see, and it's very difficult for you to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
He actually understood why Teacher Xue Laiyi remained unmoved. For him now, there was no need to pay attention to this matter. In other words, whatever he said would have a certain impact on him, and a negative one at that. So he might as well say nothing.
If he claims that The Coming One is not wrong and that it was all a fabrication by certain media outlets, then the official team of The Coming One would certainly have a very good impression of him. However, he himself refused to participate in the recording of The Coming One Season 2, which is quite embarrassing.
If he personally admits to this, regardless of whether the pillow is real or not, he will first offend Tencent.
Perhaps it wouldn't matter to Tencent, but he didn't want to take the risk.
Another reason is that the outcome of admitting the truth requires him to say something, which he is unwilling and does not want to say.
Xu Fan also knew that Xue Laiyi had another reason: he was very likely to participate in the second season of The Coming One, and if Xue Laiyi spoke out about these things at this time, it would be detrimental to him.
Therefore, he became even more hesitant.
Indecisiveness is not a good thing. The key is that some things really need to be carefully considered in order to find a more suitable one.
The fat man continued from behind, "Old Xu, I know how you feel right now, but if you choose to stay, it will really be bad for your future. You need to think it through."
Hearing this, Xu Fan suddenly laughed. He looked at Zhao Feiyang and said, "Fatty, if I were to refuse to participate in the recording of the second season of The Coming One without any evidence, based solely on a few media reports, what would my fans say?"
The fat man said, "They'll say you're resisting insider information and they'll look at you with new respect."
Xu Fan shook his head and said, "Those who say these things are doing it openly for everyone to see. Those who truly like me will discuss whether I should do this. If the Tomorrow's Son program team announces that I went back on my word after agreeing, then my fans will probably instantly turn against me. The impact of being untrustworthy and ungrateful is much greater than any inside story."
Just as the fat man was about to speak, Xu Fan didn't give him a chance and continued, "But wouldn't it be better if we made this program fairer and more transparent?"
The fat man asked doubtfully, "You mean you'll participate and make the show fair? But how can that be done?"
Xu Fan said, "Since it's a variety show, there can't be any real notarization. But I can be a witness for The Coming One program. If that's the case, I think everything will be different. Whether it's fair or not, I believe the netizens will give a correct answer then."
The fat man nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, but you need to think it through."
Xu Fan said seriously, "I'm very sure I will participate in The Coming One, but I don't want to see anyone revealing any inside stories about The Coming One Season 2 in the future. You should talk to Director Wang of The Coming One about this."
Zhao Feiyang nodded and said, "Alright, I'll do it that way. After that, I'll talk to Tomorrow's Son. But don't forget what I said today."
Xu Fan said, "I don't have Alzheimer's."
The fat man chuckled, turned around, and walked out of the room, leaving Xu Fan sitting alone, slightly dazed.
The exposure of the inside story of "The Coming One" is not good news for either the contestants or the show itself.
But since things have come to this, there's no other way. Escaping or kicking someone when they're down is definitely not the choice I should make, but I absolutely cannot bear to face such a program.
Therefore, his decision was to stay and make changes.

===Chapter 373 Grandpa and the others aren't coming back===
The next day, Xu Fan and his group returned to Zhonghai from Luzhou.
Meanwhile, news about The Coming One continues to spread online, but Tencent's public relations department has already mobilized, and various messages, both good and bad, have instantly flooded the screen.
Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang paid almost no attention to these things.
However, the news about host Zhang Dada made Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang nod in agreement.
The host of "The Coming One" was replaced. Whatever the reason, this has already happened.
Although it surprised Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang, upon closer reflection, the Penguin Group's methods of making an example of someone to deter others seemed commonplace.
Trading a host for the future of "The Coming One" is actually quite normal.
Afterwards, Xu Fan received a call from Zhao Feiyang. After communicating with Director Wang of Tomorrow's Son, he was first grateful that Xu Fan agreed to continue cooperating with Tomorrow's Son and participate in the second recording. Then, their latest result was to postpone the recording of Tomorrow's Son until after the Chinese New Year next year.
The last thing was that Director Wang agreed to Xu Fan's suggestion to ensure the entire process was fair and just.
Although his words sounded nice, Xu Fan still said to Zhao Feiyang, "For the sake of fairness in the show, I have a few suggestions, such as increasing the effect of fan promotion, and publishing the technical statistics of the online voting. I hope they can do that."
Zhao Feiyang said earnestly on the phone, "Don't worry, I will communicate with them about this."
Upon hearing this, Xu Fan replied, "Okay, recording next year is fine too, I'm not in a hurry anyway."
After finishing his sentence, Xu Fan hung up the phone and stared at the messages on his computer in his room. After thinking for a moment, he first uploaded the song "Blue and White Porcelain".
Countless netizens are waiting for the recorded version, and he naturally has to fulfill the fans' requests.
Then, just as I was about to check out the novel "Ghost Blows Out the Light," the phone rang urgently again.
After Xu Fan answered the call, he asked, "Hey Fatty, what's up now?"
The fat man said, "I just wanted to ask, it's almost New Year's Eve, and a lot of TV stations have invited you. Would you like to accept a song or something?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Fan thought for a moment and then said, "I'd better stay home and keep my mom company."
Zhao Feiyang sighed and said, "Fine, then I'll refuse them all."
Xu Fan hung up the phone, but before he could put it down, it rang again. He thought the fat man had something left unsaid.
But when he picked it up, he found it was Han Zilu's call and couldn't help but ask, "Are you feeling any better?"
Han Zilu was stunned for a moment. After saying those words, she felt as if Xu Fan had called her.
Putting that question out of her mind, she said, "I'm much better. I called you to ask when I can start work."
Xu Fan thought for a moment and said, "Let's get well first. If you really can't stay idle, you can go to Fanxing Pictures to learn about the work process and get to know the other people in the company. You can take up your post after the New Year."
Xu Fan thought that Liao Fanxing was doing a good job so far. Although he already knew from Liao Fanxing that he would be leaving soon, after all, his father did not want him to work for Xu Fan forever.
Therefore, it's not a bad idea to let Han Zilu go there in advance to familiarize herself with the place.
Han Zilu hung up the phone readily. Xu Fan shook his head, put down his phone, and opened a webpage.
The webpage was still refreshing when his phone rang again. Even Xu Fan, who was usually good-natured, couldn't help but mutter angrily, "That bastard again, calling."
But when he picked up his phone and looked at the note, he was stunned.
The three characters "Kong Zhiyong" appeared clearly in Xu Fan's eyes. He helplessly pushed up his glasses, answered the phone, and greeted, "Hello, Mr. Kong."
"Hi Xiao Xu, how have you been lately?"
"Thanks to Mr. Kong, we are doing alright."
