Chapter 218 Major Accident in Broadcast
Think of this, Renee quickly went to the downside of the stage without too much hesitation. She wanted to confirm whether the stage was solid enough or not.
As soon as she reached the downside of the stage, she saw a man standing inside. The man was doing something to a plank in the center of the stage.
Her expression changed drastically.
If she remembered it correctly, that was the position where Luna would dance on the stage.
Luna was the best performer in her team. If Luna got hurt due to some accident, it would definitely bring a devastating blow to her performance team!
"What are you doing!" Renee shouted out. The man was scared by this immediately.
He stopped his work there and quickly ran away.
But Renee's camera had captured his face.
Although he was wearing a mask, his eyes and eyebrows were very distinctive. If he worked in the crew, it would be easy to find out him.
Now the important thing was to protect Luna and other performers from having any accidents. Thus, Renee quickly walked away and went to remind the director.
Renee said, "Someone has messed about the stage. One of the wooden plates could collapse at any time, which will hurt people. Let Luna stop their performance!"
But after saying this, Renee felt it was not approporiate.
If the director stopped them now for the reason that the stage had been tampered with by someone, others from the audiences might feel they did this deliberately to gain more attention.
In order not to draw any negative attention to her performers, Renee grabbed the director who was about to take the microphone to stop the show.
Renee then said, "Wait. Don't stop them. I will remind them to dance somewhere else."
After that, she walked to the front of the stage. She stood in a spot where the camera could not capture the image, then she made a gesture to the four on the stage, signaling them to stand a bit forward to dance.
When Luna and her other team members saw this, they tacitly understood it and took a step forward. Although they wondered why Renee suddenly gave them such a gesture, they moved forward by around 1.5 meters and continued the show.
They managed to do this in a quite natural manner, which made it hard for others to see that they did this on purpose. For those who did not know the real situation, they would believe that this was their own dance step.
The director watched their tacit cooperation and felt better for Renee's team. After all, not so many teams could handle improvisations so naturally and continue the show.
After a while, Luna and the other three of her team finished their show.
The director immediately came forward and announced for a break during the intermediate time of the show. Many people among the audience complained a lot. They felt it was nonsense to have such a break since those performers took turns to perform. They still wanted to show to continue, as they wanted to enjoy the dance of those handsome lads and pretty ladies.
But their opinions didn't weigh much. Since it was a matter of safety on the stage, the director immediately arranged someone to check the position below the stage.
When a staff came to check the downside of the stage, he saw the marks left on a plate. Someone had tried to remove the plate in the middle of the stage.
Fortunately, Renee discovered this trick in time. She caught the guy right on the spot when he had just removed two screws from the connection. Luckily Luna who danced on the stage was thin and didn't get tripped over.
But since someone had tried to disassemble this plate, the plate was not qualified to bear the load on stage anymore. If he disregarded this, some performer would fall down from here soon or later.
By that time, either the performer got scratches on the leg if he or she was lucky. Otherwise, a serious injury would be resulted, like that of bone fracture.
If such an accident occurred, it would be a critical accident during the live streaming.
The director cohort would definitely be cursed by several million audiences who watched the show.
Then the anxious director was very likely to blame this to Renee, who proposed this plan at the very first place.
But now Renee had discovered this hazard and risk, and she made remedies in time. This made the director think better of Renee.
In order to avoid any unexpected drama, the director specifically assigned some people to guard the downside of the stage after the plate under the stage was reinforced and repaired. This was to avoid others from trying to tamper with the plates again.
Afterwards, the director told the host to continue the show.
Netizens began to enjoy watching the performances of handsome men and women and were extremely satisfied. As such, the audiences were more looking forward to the formal launch of the program later.
After all, the performers were now performing while wearing their common suits. When the time came for the competition, they would get changed and wear more beautiful clothes with appropriate makeup. By then it would be a better the visual feast.
Renee finally saw her risks eliminated successfully.
When Luna and her team members came down the stage, they got to know that someone had messed about the stage beforehand and it was so close that they would suffer from it. They all felt terrible.
Were it not for Renee's timely discovery, Luna might be injured. By then it was inevitable that Luna would lose the chance of joining the competition and recording the shows later.
Those people really broke the line!
But now since everyone was busy, Renee couldn't ask staff in the crew to cooperate with her to find the one who did this. Nor could she question the person for the one behind it.
However, Renee had in mind several suspects though she didn't get to question people.
It was Drake.
A person like Drake could never accept frustration quietly. He might be very likely to pay for someone to play some small tricks on them.
Renee might walk away from this if she couldn't find evidence or couldn't get an answer from questioning.
If she found evidence or someone admitted it was Drake's plan, she would certainly let those involved know clearly the consequences of testing her bottom line.
At 10.15 pm, the show was ended successfully.
By the time the show was over, the number of audiences reached 20 million.
Although there might be some people who didn't really come for the show, the number of real audiences definitely exceeded 10 million. It was a pleasant surprise for the director. He attributed the credit to Renee.
Thanks to Renee's well-managed plan. Renee used the money from someone to put their program on the spotlight. Then Renee suggested the live streaming.
If it was not for Renee, their program now would still be a common show for the audience, despite the large amount of money invested in advertising it.
Now their program was quite popular with the crowd. The speed of gaining popularity was like that of a rocket.
Among the top ten most popular topics searched online, there were three about their program.
The director was excited. He found Renee and gave her a lot of credit and praises. He also said he would give more rewards to her team after the program was over, as a way of saying thank you to her proposals.
Renee waved her hands, "Now the most important thing is not the issue of rewards. It is to find the one who did the tricks and the one who behind all this. Otherwise, something wrong might happen after the official start of the program."
Hearing this, the director felt a large basin of cold water was suddenly poured to him.
Indeed, someone in the dark had been covetously watching them. Now it was indeed not the time to be complacent. Any mistake would make the crew a target for public criticism.
The director asked, "You are the only one who saw the guy who tampered with the stage. Can you describe the person's face to me?"
Although the director didn't think relying on description of appearance would help much.
Still, he needed to hear from this. Then he could check video footages from the crew to see there were anyone who fitted the shoe. Renee could identify for him.
