Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle

Chapter 259 - 259 258 Questioning

?Chapter 259: Chapter 258: Questioning Chapter 259: Chapter 258: Questioning Luo Ning also guessed that such a competitive match was not suitable to be conducted in a city.

Then, the helicopter took them to an island.

Although this was also a deserted island, the organizers had made comprehensive arrangements.

It wasn’t like last time when Luo Ning and the others participated in a wilderness survival show; the director was so careless and had not checked properly before taking everyone up.

After getting off the helicopter, Luo Ning saw cameras pointed at them.

A male and a female host appeared.

The man spoke fluent English.

“Welcome to Competition Island, you are one of seven teams; here is your team badge, please make sure to wear it.”

Yue Xiao and his companions had stayed abroad for a long time, so communication was naturally not a problem.

They didn’t know if Luo Ning was good at foreign languages, so they quietly asked, “Do you need a simultaneous interpreter?”

Luo Ning shook her head, “No, I can understand.”

“That’s good,” Yue Xiao and his companions nodded, understanding made communication more convenient.

Then, they all took the team badges and clipped them onto the front of their clothes.

The female host smiled and said, “From the moment you set foot on Competition Island, the global live broadcast has begun; please proceed to the rest area ahead and wait.”

“Okay!” Yue Xiao and his companions nodded and then headed to the resting area.

People were already sitting in the resting area, with seats corresponding to their team numbers.

As Luo Ning and her team were the latest arrivals, the cameras were all focused on them.

Simultaneously, back in their home country.

[My god, am I seeing things?]

[I doubt my own eyes too, I actually saw Luo Ning; is this real?]

[You’re not seeing things, representing our country, Luo Ning is indeed part of the team.]

[Why would Luo Ning participate in such an international competitive event?]

[I don’t know; Star Emperor Entertainment really kept it tight, not releasing any news beforehand.]

[Looking around, it seems that Luo Ning is the only celebrity among all the participants.]

[You can remove ‘seems’; the official list just came out, I checked one by one, Luo Ning is indeed the only celebrity.]

[Ah ah ah, my Ningbao is so awesome to be able to join such an international competitive event.]

[Brother Ning is mighty; this suddenly feels a lot more interesting to watch.]

[Your daddy is still your daddy.]

The Ning Fans were all excited; initially, only half of Ning Fans were watching the live broadcast.

But now, hearing that Luo Ning was participating, they all hurriedly clicked into the live stream.

The Ning Fans got excited, but there were also many skeptics.

[First of all, I’m not one of Luo Ning’s haters, and I even like her quite a bit because of that variety show.

But participating in this kind of international live broadcast competition just to join in on the hype seems a bit inappropriate.]

[It’s more than inappropriate, it’s completely unsuitable!]

[Her, a celebrity, participating in such a competitive event is just a drag; this isn’t like shooting a variety show or a movie.]

[It’s over; I had high hopes for our team, but now seeing a celebrity in it makes it feel like a joke.]

[Although Luo Ning’s wilderness survival skills are decent, this competition is not just about wilderness survival; there are many other factors involved. Can she handle it?]

“I heard there are going to be code breaking, using fancy weapons, reconnaissance and such, and I’m doubtful that Luo Ning can keep up.”

“Star Emperor Entertainment is really something, being able to send their stars to participate in competitions like this, their networking is impressive.”

“Isn’t this taking honor too lightly? What qualifies Luo Ning to participate in such an international competition? Just because she’s pretty?”

“There’s definitely some shady dealings in the selection process!”

“Suddenly I’m so disappointed with our team, how could they let this happen?”

“I’m disappointed too, almost don’t feel like watching anymore.”

“Why not watch? If Luo Ning slows them down, we should strongly demand that she withdraws from the competition, to avoid disgracing and tarnishing our reputation.”

More and more people went to Star Emperor Entertainment’s official website to vent their anger, some even demanding that they quickly bring Luo Ning back.

The senior management of Star Emperor Entertainment had only just found out that Luo Ning had gone to compete in this international competition livestream.

Everyone was confused, did Star Emperor Entertainment push Luo Ning into this? How come they didn’t know?

So, many people went to ask Fu Ci.

Luo Ning had of course notified Fu Ci in advance, and he was very supportive of her participating in such an international competition livestream.

Therefore, he told the senior management that Luo Ning’s participation wasn’t due to their intervention, but that she was selected on her own.

Fu Ci was actually speechless; the Fu Family indeed has a powerful background, but their influence doesn’t extend to manipulating such matters.

So, a statement was released on the official website.

It stated that Luo Ning was selected on her own merits, Star Emperor Entertainment did not pull any strings, nor was there any foul play, inviting everyone to monitor and report as they see fit.

This was to clear Luo Ning’s name, to prevent those internet trolls and critics from continuously bringing up backdoor dealings and foul play to set the tone.

They hadn’t engaged in such practices, so naturally, they weren’t afraid of any scrutiny.

With this post on Star Emperor Entertainment’s official website, most rational people stopped joining in on the blame.

However, the skepticism continued regarding the basis of Luo Ning’s selection into the team.

These people didn’t dislike Luo Ning, but they felt that such an honor-related international competition should be free from undue influence.

Seeing so many people questioning Ningbao, the Ning Fans were naturally upset.

They believed that Ningbao wasn’t the type to exploit connections, she must have been selected based on her abilities.

Some people started to counter the critics, trolls, and paid commenters.

Then, Luo Ning’s prominent fans and fan leaders, being quite sensible, began to intervene and control the comments.

One of the biggest fan leaders was Top Star Ji, who even mobilized his team, thus quickly getting the situation under control.

Arguing with those critics was futile; the Ning Fans were looking forward more to Luo Ning’s performance.

Thus, the upset Ning Fans also held back, no longer engaging in arguments, their conduct remaining quite commendable.

Bo Xiangxiang saw Luo Ning participating in the international competition livestream and turned green with envy.

How come that woman Luo Ning always has such good luck? Even scoring such a great opportunity.

This was a global simulcast, audiences from all countries were watching, a chance to be highly visible.

Each team representing a country generated immense interest, the domestic livestream viewership alone had already reached hundreds of millions.

The competition had just started, and one could only imagine how high the viewership would go.

Then, Bo Xiangxiang saw Luo Ning’s top fans handling the situation, which won over many neutral viewers.

Everyone truly disliked seeing endless arguments and disturbances in the comments and on the live chat.

Especially since they were here to watch a competition, not celebrities.

Remembering a previous setback caused by Luo Ning, Bo Xiangxiang’s mind raced, and she rushed to find Yuan Hanyi.
