Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore

Perhaps Liu Rulan’s prayers finally paid off.

Perhaps because this incident was so embarrassing, the other party, upon discovering that the incident not only did not cause any damage to ”Time and Space Standoff” but also helped promote the show, immediately deleted all related topics with one click.

It’s important to know that on these platforms, removing a trending topic from the search results can cost many times more than buying one.

As a result, the other side withdrew completely without saying a word.

It’s clear they were furious.

It also made others laugh, and sparked heated discussions online.

In contrast, the production team of ”Time and Space Standoff” has been much more low-key. Although the promotional materials are still being released and operated normally, Xiao He, the main source of traffic, has not made any public statements or participated in the promotion of ”Time and Space Standoff”.

Only on a few occasions, the media who were stationed at the Spring Festival Gala venue were able to capture images of them participating in rehearsals.

The online uproar seems to have subsided.

And it seems they are all waiting for something—

...

New Year’s Eve.

Beijing City.

”Teacher Bai, hurry up!”

With his hands behind his back, Xiao’s father urged the person behind him to stop and wait for them.

”Hey, don’t rush. We’ll have to queue to get in later. There will be so many people. We’ll just wait patiently and then we’ll get in.”

Xiao’s mother took a picture of the surrounding area and quickly posted it on her WeChat Moments.

Immediately afterwards, she couldn’t help but zoom in and out on the photos on her WeChat Moments, while also carefully adjusting the cheongsam-style dress she was rarely wearing, and smoothing her hair: ”Hey, can you take a look? Are my bangs a little messy?”

”It’s not messy, it looks good.”

Mr. Xiao coughed lightly, opened his phone and posted a message on his WeChat Moments, while also giving Mrs. Xiao a like: ”Stop showing off. You’ve taken pictures of every nook and cranny of the house lately. There are so many people here today, the sooner we get in, the sooner we can sit down.”

”Hey, can you please stop stealing my pictures and posting them on your WeChat Moments? How can someone be like you?”

When Xiao’s mother saw that Xiao’s father was like a clone, taking the photos she had carefully taken and posting them on his own WeChat Moments, she was furious.

”We’re practically family, we see the same things. If your photos are nicer, I’ll use a few.”

Mr. Xiao solemnly put away his phone, seemingly having mastered the art of shamelessness in the family.

”Tsk, they take their own pictures for their own social media posts.”

Xiao’s mother put away her phone with great disgust, moved a little further away from Xiao’s father, and decided in her heart that she would block this guy from all her WeChat Moments posts tonight.

Otherwise, all the photos she painstakingly took would have been stolen by this old bastard.

”Aunt Bai! Uncle Xiao!”

Just then, someone called out to them from a distance.

So, Mr. and Mrs. Xiao subconsciously straightened their clothes while turning their heads to look at the source of the sound—

”Xiao Chen! It’s been so long!”

Xiao’s mother greeted him gently.

”Aunt Bai, you look absolutely stunning today! My brother Xiao said this cheongsam suits you perfectly, just like a superstar.”

Xiao Chen greeted him very familiarly, ”Uncle Xiao, you look very handsome too! We were originally going to arrange a suit for you, but you look so good in this executive jacket, much better than a regular suit!”

He praised both of them equally. Xiao’s mother thanked him with a smile, while Xiao’s father was relatively aloof and reserved, but he couldn’t help but smile.

”Oh, right, there are a lot of people today, so Sister Liu asked me to come and pick you up so you can use the special passage.”

Xiao Chen continued.

Mr. Xiao asked cautiously, ”Is it alright if we use this special passage? Will it have any impact on Xiao He? If it’s too troublesome, that’s fine too. Your Aunt Bai and I can come in through the normal passage.”

”No, no, don’t worry, we’ve already made all the arrangements.”

Xiao Chen then led the two towards the special passage.

”Then this time we arranged your seats to be closer to the front, so when the camera pans across the audience, it might also capture your uncle and aunt. If you mind, we can go and adjust your seats for you.”

Does this mean they want to show their faces to the entire nation?

Mrs. Xiao tidied her hair and makeup again and nodded confidently: ”It’s okay, we don’t mind.”

Xiao’s father also nodded.

Although at this age, it’s not really time to talk about being handsome or beautiful, after so many years, one is a senior teacher, the other is a junior manager in their workplace, their son has an outstanding job, their family is wealthy, and their lives are happy and fulfilling... This special quality is enough to form their foundation, allowing them to confidently show their faces in front of the camera.

Besides, the camera will just pan across them, and who would know they are Xiao He’s parents?

But they were able to watch their son’s performance up close from the audience—how could they not be proud?

I’m so excited just thinking about it.

”Okay, then there might be some other people from the industry nearby. If they come over to say hello, Uncle and Aunt, just have a normal chat. If it’s about Brother Xiao’s work, then just ignore them...”

Xiao Chen followed Liu Rulan’s instructions and gave her a few more words of advice: ”If it’s that kind of guy with ill intentions who keeps asking about the movie, then Uncle, just glare at him or ask him what his name is and tell us later. I’ll have Sister Liu deal with him.”

After saying that, he paused again: ”But don’t worry, there shouldn’t be any guys like that.”

”well.”

Mr. and Mrs. Xiao were both amused by Xiao Chen’s words.

Then I couldn’t help but feel a surge of pride.

It’s all thanks to their son’s excellence that they have such confidence!

So the couple stopped worrying about those issues and followed Xiao Chen into the back passage...

-

The audience members in front of the stage had already entered and taken their seats, while the actors backstage were still making adjustments to the details and preparing for the performance to begin.

”Xiao He, what do you think? Are you sure there are no problems?”

Ge Fu watched as the hosts from backstage walked to the stage at the perfect moment, his fingers clenching nervously, and he asked Xiao He a question once again.

Despite having participated in other performances of varying sizes, this time it was the official CCTV Spring Festival Gala, and performing magic in front of the entire nation and high-definition cameras, so Ge ​​Fu couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.

”Don’t worry, there won’t be any problems.”

After inspecting the mechanical device, Xiao He reluctantly made another assurance to Ge Fu.

”That’s °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° good, that’s good.” Ge Fu breathed a sigh of relief. ”Ever since I found out that the robots on the show next door were maliciously attacked by hackers yesterday, causing them to start fighting each other halfway through their performance, I’ve been very worried.”

”This is a normal phenomenon. Almost every year there are unseen foreign forces trying to sabotage the event and embarrass China. So our government has countermeasures and will not let them cause trouble. You don’t need to be too nervous.”

Xiao He remained calm. ”Let me put it this way: during last year’s Spring Festival, many domestic AI companies suffered large-scale attacks, causing computing power to grind to a halt. And the opening ceremony of the Olympics the year before last was subjected to a massive cyber bombardment by a certain country... These are all facts, or perhaps we could call it a cyber war that we cannot see?”

Ge Fu was embarrassed: ”Wow, is it really that exaggerated?”

He was completely unaware of these matters and had no idea that the situation was so dire and acute.

”Then, won’t they try to cause trouble during our performance?”

Hearing Xiao He’s words, Ge Fu also felt a strange sense of tension, as if he had been forced to participate in this battle.

Although he didn’t fully understand these technologies and principles, the robots next door were affected, so what about theirs...?

”There’s really no need to worry.” Xiao He said, both amused and exasperated.

”Yesterday, their robot malfunctioned, but it only affected the free human-computer interaction function that relies on real-time AI computing. Those guys seized the opportunity and attacked the computing server behind that AI, which caused the robot to stop working. They have already fixed it this morning.”

It turned out that the robot was just behaving erratically in one of the processes.

I don’t know who spread the rumor that the robots were hacked and ended up fighting each other.

It’s kind of funny for some reason...

”Won’t our AI be affected?”

Ge Fu continued to ask.

Xiao He raised an eyebrow and replied with three words, decisive and clear—

”impossible.”
