The director of Happy Camp responds to comments that nowadays, whoever is popular goes on the program (rather than in previous years, in which Happy Camp could make people popular).
During an interview, Gan Yi, the director of Happy Camp, responded to the debate brought upon by comments along the lines of "Nowadays, whoever is popular gets to go on Happy Camp. In the past, whoever went on Happy Camp got popular." He said that the root cause of this change is that nowadays, the Internet has the greatest ability to create exposure. Popularity first begins to spread through Weibo. For a weekly variety show, no matter how quickly you work to produce it, you still require at least a week for it to air. For the episode with the two leads from Word of Honor, there was only a gap of a week between recording and broadcast. In fact, the appearance was scheduled just after Word of Honor had broadcast its second episode. But indeed, they cannot beat the speed with which things happen on the Internet.
