Alyssa takes the initiative to find Shen Boyang! Staff member Zhou Xuan reveals the reason for cooperation: audience tastes have changed

Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang was recently invited to appear on the new show "Sasha Morning News" of millionaire YouTuber Alisasha. After the photo of the two parties was exposed, it triggered polarizing comments. Since Alishasa has supported Ke Wenzhe in the past and caused controversy by questioning the voting process of the 2024 presidential election, some netizens were puzzled by this cooperation. In response to this, Shen Boyang's staff Zhou Xuan appeared on FTV's "Yiqi Dinner Let's Eat Melon Together" yesterday evening (9th) to restore the contact process between the two parties and revealed that it was actually Alisasha who took the initiative to invite.

Zhou Xuan said that when Alisasha first invited her, she expressed her wish to purely discuss current affairs. He personally read the interview outline provided by the other party. The content focused on Taipei's municipal administration, including how to govern Taipei in the future, his views on urban development and policy plans. He did not deliberately create topics. He also reconfirmed the direction of the interview with the other party, and the reply he received was still "We just want to talk to you about current affairs," so the team decided to accept the invitation.

It is worth noting that Zhou Xuan revealed that the Alisasha team also shared its observations of online audience preferences during the contact. He relayed that the other party believed that Taiwanese audiences were gradually disliking the past style of programs that deliberately created disputes in order to attract attention and hype traffic. Instead, they became interested in Shen Boyang's current interview method, so they specially designed an interview focused on municipal affairs.

Zhou Xuan said frankly that the team knew that there were many negative impressions of Alisasha from the outside world, but since the other party was willing to seriously discuss policies, there was no need to refuse. He said bluntly: "Since you invited me to talk about current affairs with me, then I will come and talk about current affairs with you." The two sides did hold a current affairs interview for about an hour that day.

On the other hand, Alyssa also responded to her cooperation in the community before, admitting that although she likes Ke Wenzhe, she still hopes to get to know candidates from different political parties. She also revealed that she had a great conversation with Shen Boyang, and many of her original questions were answered. Shen Boyang shared that his favorite question this time was "Are you willing to continue the good policies of previous mayors?" He believed that policies that are beneficial to Taipei should continue to be promoted even if different political parties are in power.
