“I can’t wait for next time, then.” Han Zhuoli laughed. “I’m going to observe them on the gala night.”

The next day, Shi Xiaoya came to her office as usual.
She didn’t accept any job offers today. She was going to fly over and gather with the production team of Survivor to film the second episode, so she didn’t want to commit to other long-term projects.
Thinking of the harsh conditions during the filming of Survivor, Shi Xiaoya had decided to give herself a break and rest for a couple of days.
She especially asked Chi Xingrui about it and was notified that Han Zhuoling wasn’t going to join the second filming, but he was going to join again probably for the fourth or fifth week, according to the production team’s estimation.
When Shi Xiaoya heard this, she didn’t know if she’s relieved or disappointed.
A netizen had already revealed a snapshot of the latest information for the first episode of Survivor on the Net today.
But according to the director, the netizen was someone hired by the production team and asked to reveal it, as a form of publicity.
And according to Lu Man, this could create a sensation for the show.
By the time the show was filming for the third episode, the first episode would have been broadcast.
The Net was already abuzz with guesses on who would be invited as hosts for Survivor.
The production team had approached a number of marketing accounts and released a few name lists of possible MCs.
In order to attract more attention for the show, the names of the actual hosts were in there, along with a few who were placed in there to attract fans.
And now, the release of a few pictures and the latest information regarding the show was the second step of publicity.
But the information wasn’t complete either; not all of the hosts were revealed.
There was also another method when revealing the hosts.
Heavyweights like Zhang Shuidong and Han Zhuoling could not be revealed for sure. They had to be kept as trump cards and used for the grand finale of the publicity.
As for hosts like Qin Zigou, who wasn’t that influential, there was no point in divulging him at once either since he couldn’t attract masses of fans.
Hence, the production team first unveiled Zhang Jian, Lin Yantao, and Liu Chuanhui.
One was a popular young actor with good acting chops. He naturally had lots of fans.
One was a mature, stylish man with real acting skills, coupled with numerous good productions under his belt. He had joined other variety shows before but never as a host, so he would be fresh in the netizens’ eyes.
And Liu Chuanhui had never joined any variety shows before, focusing instead on his career as an actor. Though his die-hard fans might be fewer than those of the other two, the audiences love him.
His normal audience-fans were much more numerous than those of Zhang Jian and Lin Yantao combined.
With the three of them revealed, the netizens became extremely enthused and hyped about Survivor.
Moreover, the three of them were in the list of possible hosts released previously, so the netizens immediately went digging into the lists.
The celebrities on the lists were all well-loved by fans one way or another.
The netizens thought they weren’t being played for fools, nor like they were being tricked, so everyone was happy.
Furthermore, the pre-revealed hosts were so attractive, not to mention the ones saved for last.
The netizens were really no fools. Having seen so many tricks before, they knew that the ones revealed earliest by the production team weren’t the best ones.
They looked at the three’s standings in the industry and knew that they were well-liked enough, but they weren’t high up in the lists.
For such shows, there would be one or two top-lister hosts invited to guarantee the viewership.
So, the netizens were anticipating eagerly.
Done watching the first wave of publicity for Survivor in her office, Shi Xiaoya couldn’t help but think that when the report that Han Zhuoling had joined the show went out, the netizens would be in for a treat.
