The organizers of the Weibo Night event issued another apology on the afternoon of February 7 regarding the controversy over the name tags on the seats. They stated that around 2:00 PM on February 5, the on-site seating and name tags had been accurately arranged according to the predetermined plan. However, during a subsequent review, due to vacant seats in the second row of the middle section, staff made an operational error by incorrectly moving the name tags for Xiao Zhan and some other seats outward, which altered their positions. After identifying the issue, platform staff promptly corrected it during the event. The entire process did not involve any participation or intervention from Yang Mi or her team regarding the seating arrangements or name tag placements, and related online rumors are untrue. The organizers sincerely apologized to Xiao Zhan, Yang Mi, and all affected artists and fans, promising to strengthen detail management to prevent similar issues in the future.

At such celebrity events, seating arrangements and positions often become focal points of public discussion. What appears to be a simple seating chart holds underlying complexities, essentially reflecting the interplay of influence, popularity, commercial value, and platform rules, which to some extent reveals the realistic dynamics within the industry. In an environment dominated by traffic logic, rankings,热度, and data are often amplified, leading to comparisons, disputes, and unnecessary conflicts among fans. From the perspective of healthy industry development, excessive focus on seating hierarchy and obsession with traffic rankings can generate negative value and poor guidance. While traffic can bring short-term exposure, it cannot replace genuine talent; hype may create temporary buzz but cannot withstand the test of time; popularity built on inflated data ultimately fails to form the core foundation for an artist's long-term growth.

What truly enables an artist to be remembered by audiences and recognized by the industry is solid professional ability, memorable roles, and works that stand up to scrutiny. At the 2025 Weibo Night, the acceptance speeches of several artists reflected rationality and clarity, indicating a industry-wide expectation for practitioners to return to the essence of creation. Xiao Zhan, who won the Weibo King award for the third time, mentioned that his three roles in 2025 allowed audiences to see different facets of him. He emphasized valuing the present and future, committing to meet audiences through his works and transforming the honor into motivation for future creations. Liu Yuning, awarded the Annual Popular Actor, straightforwardly expressed his understanding of "popularity," noting that industry热度changes rapidly and temporary trends are unimportant. What matters more is diligently completing the music, dramas, and roles he loves, rewarding supporters with substantial content. Kelly Yu Wenwen, honored as the Weibo All-Round Musician, humorously referenced her previous collapse during a performance, stating her simple desire was to not delay work and complete her schedule safely, ultimately wishing everyone good health. Lu Yuxiao, named the Annual Notable Actor, mentioned that four works accompanied her through the seasons over the past year, with roles making her visible to audiences, and she pledged to stay true to her acting初心, engaging viewers with more vibrant characters.

These speeches consistently emphasized works, professional attitude, and future actions, showcasing artists' rational understanding of industry norms. Artists' attitudes often directly influence their fan bases. As more artists focus on their craft, downplay rankings, and reject traffic anxiety, they can subtly guide fans toward greater rationality, reducing meaningless disputes and comparisons, and gradually steering fan culture toward a positive direction. The seating, honors, and rankings at a grand event are merely temporary symbols; enduring value comes from professionalism, sincerity, and sustained creativity. When the industry is no longer bound by singular traffic logic, when artists maintain clarity and dedication to their craft, and when fans support their idols with a more mature mindset, the entire entertainment ecosystem can move beyond superficial excitement and trivial conflicts toward a healthier, more sustainable future.
