With such interview programs, there is usually a script prepared beforehand. After the interview, celebrities also have the opportunity to review and edit the footage before it's aired, to see if they've said anything that needs rectifying.
It was the same for Xiang Yirou. Her responses were orderly and pedestrian, scripted well in advance, which was standard.
The troubling part came after the formal interview, when the interviewer asked a gossip-laden question: "Miss Xiang, being part of the 'Chaotic Times' cast, what's your take on the trending topic of the day?"
Xiang Yirou wasn't dumb. Initially, she tried to dodge the question: "This question is fairly personal. I'd rather not answer it."
"It's nothing serious, just a casual chit-chat. It won't end up in the final cut."
