254. Interview Program_1

"Weekend Appointment" is an interview-style program, hosted by Jiang Xia. The content mostly involves her interviewing celebrities and through conversation revealing their mental journeys. At first, the show was quite popular—after all, it was the best way for ordinary people to hear celebrity gossip.

But as time went on, with the show airing increasingly more episodes and interviewing people from a wider range of industries, Jiang Xia's lack of knowledge became apparent. Along with some of her own issues, the show often faced criticism.

However, this was a program broadcast by the TV station, with a wide audience. Lu Ban felt that it was quite beneficial for his own promotion and could spark more interest in his movies, so he agreed to the interview.

You see, although there are over a billion people in the country, there aren't actually that many internet users. Many people still get their information from the television, which remains one of the most influential media outlets.
