Gong Qiming reached out to an old acquaintance, director Tang Zhubiao.
Tang Zhubiao felt quite honored and surprised.
Ever since Gong Qiming announced his departure from Travel Together, the show's ratings have dropped significantly.
The new guests, having learned some of Tang Zhubiao's tricks, were very restrained in their behavior.
They sought not to excel, but rather to avoid mistakes.
And they certainly didn't want to end up like Zhang Yuan, who was banned.
They reverted to the classic upright image typical in the entertainment industry.
Carefully considering their words and actions.
The show lost its most essential element of reality in reality TV, naturally failing to attract many viewers.
Tang Zhubiao was unable to change any of this because in this circle, there are too many people who wish to protect their reputation and follow the basics; truly genuine people like Gong Qiming are extremely rare.
