    Chapter 58.1: The Most Powerful Party A

      Since it was organized by Qiao Yi International and Xiang Mang TV, together with the appearance of the three mentors, the ‘Youth Camp’ program alone had garnered a considerable fanbase. After all, it could well be said that Qiao Yi International represented Qiao Jinye. Although he did not make an appearance as the mentor this time, he was both a senior who had debuted in a boy group a couple of years ago and one of the contributors behind the scenes. That was why his fans were tightly bound to this program.

      Hence, even if it were the behind-the-scenes footage placed in the VIP exclusive content, it would suffice to go viral and top the most searched hashtags on Weibo.

      What’s more, there had always been a significant number of rumors circulating about Jiang Dai’s investment in this program, so much so that a portion of passers-by and viewers had always kept their eyes on Jiang Dai. Even if Jiang Dai had only appeared in the commercials, it was more than enough to draw everyone’s attention. With that, numerous viewers were hoping for Jiang Dai to appear in the program as the guest mentor, even if it was just for an episode or two.

      As soon as the world was exposed to the behind-the-scenes footage, one could say that one side had pretty much toppled.

      Even the netizens, who were against Jiang Dai taking up the role as a mentor previously, began to turn their coats one after another.

    I was wrong, so I’m here to apologize to President Jiang. I had once publicly declared that I don’t support the idea of President Jiang taking up the role of the guest mentor, but it’s not that I dislike her since I’ve always liked her stunning beauty! It’s just that this is a just, fair and transparent talent search program, after all. Regardless of how inferior their expertise-specific requirement might be for a guest mentor, that person should at least be from the entertainment industry, right? I’m just afraid that a layman would give inaccurate comments and ruin it for the viewers. However, it turns out that I’m entirely in the wrong…… Look at how incredible President Jiang is!
    My mum was asking me why I was on my knees when I talked to her! That’s because I’m blown away by President Jiang! Not only does she know how to run a business and invest in projects, but she also knows about girl group dances?!?!? I’m just going to end it here and slip away first!
    Can someone please tell me whether there’s anything in this world that President Jiang doesn’t know how to do? She is probably the epitome of all-round top students, isn’t she?
    As a matter of fact, Jiang Dai was indeed a top student. As a Yanjing University student who has yet to graduate, I’d like to take this chance to make a statement and declare that Jiang Dai had always been the unwavering third-best student across the entire specialization stream in our Business School back then! It was only because she began dating during her sophomore year that she often skipped lessons to accompany her boyfriend, so a portion of her attendance points had been deducted. If she had never missed a day of school, she would have been the unwavering top student!
    F*cking hell! As a passer-by who was never fond of watching talent search programs, I still found that part where Jiang Dai gave her comments very provoking. Wasn’t she a little too blunt and direct? That’s as expected of the tyrannical president! I’d always feel invigorated after watching her do her thing!
    I’m sorry, but I’m going to deviate from the main topic. It seems that Jiang Dai did not pursue a master’s degree? Shouldn’t a superb top student, like the third-best student of the specialization stream, be guaranteed a direct admission to postgraduate courses? I mean, it’s Yanjing University’s business school we’re talking about here! What’s more, it’s a popular major that only provincial top scorers can go for!
    It’s probably because President Jiang was occupied with having to take over the family business, so she didn’t pursue a master’s degree. Otherwise, anyone with grades like this will undoubtedly be granted direct admission! Perhaps, President Jiang was never fond of studying, or else with her grades, she’d have higher chances of being accepted into one of the top overseas universities to pursue her master’s degree.
    As for me, I’ve been focusing on these contestants. Oh man, that Bei Yunyun cracked me up so much when she fell with a little thump onto her buttocks, LOLOL! Although it’s right to use ‘exerting too much force’ to describe her, President Jiang’s eyesight, as well as the way she speaks, sure is diabolical.
    Jiang Dai’s comments are truly harsh, and you can see such a massive difference when you compare them to that gentle voice of hers! Anyways, I’ll be choosing Jiang Dai now. Also, I hope she stays as a guest mentor for a couple of episodes since I want nothing more than to listen to her give comments. I mean, no matter how high the status of a mentor in a talent search program is these days, no one dares to offend anyone freely. If they weren’t careful, the netizens would spew hatred against them on Weibo for an entire month! In any case, I’d still prefer Jiang Dai’s style of doing things!

      Apart from these netizens and viewers, some industry insiders soon began to post their evaluations on Weibo as well.

      A renowned dance teacher, who often choreographed dances for celebrities and designed stages for large-scale concerts, published a post on Weibo——

    Jiang Dai’s comments are very incisive. It’s absolutely amazing that she, as an outsider, has such diabolical eyesight. However, it’s understandable since she has invested 800 million dollars in this program. It’s for the sake of the stage effects when one selects someone to take up the center position, while it’s for the sake of the contestants for her comments to lean towards the harsh side. In any case, I’m starting to become a fan of Jiang Dai.

      Not only that, but producers of similar talent search variety shows that were broadcasted on other TV stations had also posted on Weibo to show their support——

    Amazing! ‘Youth Camp’ is clearly blessed to have such an all-rounder investor, like President Jiang. As an industry insider, I’d just like to mention one thing objectively. Even though ‘Youth Camp’ usually airs its episodes and garners the most popularity every summer, doesn’t it already have 5 years under its belt? Ever since last year’s batch, it has become mediocre, be it the contestants or the overall program itself. Hence, the production crew needs to bring forth new ideas to the entire program. In my experience, it’s an innovative idea to have the investor take up the role as a mentor, so you can draw on this experience, my friends from other TV stations.

      On top of that, a certain well-known director tossed in their two cents’ worth——

    Not only is President Jiang domineering and beautiful, but she also has such wealth and diabolical eyesight! Oh man, she is simply the girl of my dreams! I’d like to request President Jiang to look at the new web series I’m currently seeking funding for! If you don’t fancy a web series, I have plans for a major film in the latter part of this year. So, please feel free to contact me if you are interested!

      As soon as these people started the ball rolling, all sorts of notable individuals began to try their luck at interacting with Jiang Dai on Weibo.

      After all, wealthy investors who knew the ropes, like Jiang Dai, were hard to come by in this current era.

      Sure, various projects in the entertainment and creative industries might appear to be spectacular and have a high following, but it was, in fact, not easy to put it off.

      At the outset, the implementation phase for marketing strategies to attract investors had always already been a challenge. If one were prospecting for money, numerous wealthy investors were willing to invest in all sorts of project areas, ranging from washing powder to medicine to milk. However, wealthy investors, who were willing to pour money into a project, were much of a scarcity. Of those who were inclined to splurge money, plenty of them were utterly clueless about the project.

      Variety and reality shows, in particular, required advertorials, whereby artistes would use various products in the program itself. Even so, there might be times when the capitalists themselves were unsatisfied with how the artiste advertised a product. Having to retake the shot, the artiste could not help but feel that the advertisement had reached a new low, so much so that they were unwilling to cooperate any further. Eventually, their relationship was fraught with tension.
