[Main story completed, extras updated daily~]
Journalism student Yi Jingchen was bound to an unethical system that forced him to participate in an idol survival show to debut as the center.
Roadshow
"So, during the time you were creating "Cat Basking in the Sun," was there anything that left a lasting impression on you?"
Yi Jingchen didn't believe that the 'human plug-in' was ineffective, so he used his professional skills as a journalism student to dig deep into the materials, trying to activate Mu Gan's innate attributes.
[Resurrection! My cheat!]
"No." Mu Gan, with his drowsy self on his head, thought carefully for five minutes and told Yi Jingchen, "When I wrote this song, I probably didn't think about anything, just like I write other songs."
“…” Yi Jingchen has been in the industry for many years, and this is the first time he has encountered such a difficult interview subject.
[It must be exciting if aliens invade the Earth and drive into your brain.]
[Thoroughly new, never used for thinking.]
Mu Gan leaned over and listened carefully to the looped version of "Cat Basking in the Sun".
After listening to it twice, the lost memories in my mind slowly came back to me.
"I remember...it was the beginning of my summer vacation, and my mom thought I was too annoying, so she sent me to live with my grandparents in the countryside."
"The air in the countryside is so fresh and the weather is so warm, it makes you feel lazy and don't want to do anything. One day, my grandparents went out to play mahjong, and I slept until the afternoon. With nothing to do, I just watched the cats in the yard."
"The cat took the dried fish I brought from the city and refused to eat it. Instead, it lay by the window, basking in the sun. It would bask in the sun from its front, then its back, then turn over again, its little eyes constantly glancing towards the next door."
"I lay on the other side of the window, staring at it for hours, and then I wrote a rap and sang it." Mu Gan frowned at this point. "Then my mother heard it and scolded me for not doing my homework properly."
“Puff—”
Yi Jingchen couldn't help laughing when he heard the last part.
[High school students who are always dominated by homework~]
"Well, now you know." Mu Gan spread his hands. "I write rap. I don't have any particular creative ideas. I just record the fragments of life."
He took off the silver veil on his head and rubbed his soft belly. His voice sounded lazy. "You don't have to listen to anything in my songs, deliberately interpret my values, or analyze my creative techniques."
"Rap is a casual art form. They all say keep real. So, just be yourself." Mu Gan held the original body and stuffed it into Yi Jingchen's arms. "I think the way you look now is very suitable for 'Cat Basking in the Sun'."
"Really?" Yi Jingchen blinked his cat-like eyes and stared at him.
Mu Gan nodded and said affirmatively, "It's especially suitable."
【666, recognition from the original singer! 】
[+1, I also think Melon King is suitable for "Cat in the Sun". He himself is very suitable for cat sculpture~]
[Off topic, the rap community always says Nai Gan subverts traditional rap, but I think he is the most authentic in the rap community!]
[Nagan's rap is just non-aggressive and he disdains to deliberately cater to the market, but that doesn't mean he has no attitude. Otherwise, do you think the philanthropists in the music industry would easily approve of him?]
[There should be a rap show slogan here: Everything can be rapped!]
Everything can be rapped! I'm suddenly excited for some reason and looking forward to the "Yang Mao" group.
Finally, someone has spoken up! Our "Yangmao" group has the most crossover contestants, is the only group in the show with two A-class leaders, has the highest average education level, and is a one-public-only Wanyan group (excluding Fu Zheng, sisters, it's worth investing in it!)
[Except Fu Zheng, hahaha! After careful analysis, I found that the "Yangmao" team, apart from Fu Zheng, has no traditional assembly line trainees. Including Shu Lang, they are not a professional production line, but a small workshop with no qualifications.]
[A non-assembly line boy group encounters non-assembly line rap, supporting idol diversity! The "Yangmao" group, go for it!]
"Meow~" The main body woke up and slowly turned on the computer.
Ruanruan cried out and touched Yi Jingchen's face with her chocolate paw pads.
Yi Jingchen held the cat in his arms, concentrating on summarizing his 'creative ideas' and trying to find ideas for writing lyrics.
However, Mu Gan’s rap is all about technique and no emotion.
Yi Jingchen tried to use techniques to summarize his feelings, but he couldn't sort out his thoughts for a long time.
There were footsteps on the stairs, and several staff members were shouting as they went upstairs, as if to announce something important.
"What's going on?"
"Meow?"
Yi Jingchen held his true body in his arms, pulled the door frame open and poked out two cat-like heads to observe what was happening outside.
Cen Hao came out from next door and told Yi Jingchen, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the announcement of the roadshow list."
Yi Jingchen: "Roadshow list? So we have to prepare for the roadshow so early."
'Roadshow' is also one of the traditional projects of the S-series talent show, and every trainee will experience it.
The program team will organize some trainees to perform offline in places with high traffic such as schools, business districts, and squares to expand the popularity of the talent show.
Idols rely on the audience, and close contact with the audience is also an important indicator to test their professional ability.
Strictly speaking, the roadshow is not part of the official recording process. However, for the contestants, it is a very important opportunity to gain fans.
There have been examples in the past of people who had mediocre performance in the early stages, but relied on roadshow videos to gain fans and then turned the tide to make it to the debut position.
Even the last season of "Shine Star" final C position, was not valued by the production team in the early stage and ranked low. It was only through the hot searches of the road show that it gradually rose to prominence and became a huge star.
After the theme song re-evaluation, there are clearer criteria for dividing the trainees’ abilities and popularity.
Talent show variety shows are best at using rankings to measure the value of trainees.
Now, as the main film of the first stage is being broadcast and the fan circles of various groups are beginning to take shape, the program team will certainly not miss this wave of traffic.
As soon as the theme song ratings were completed, a 24-hour roadshow list was urgently launched to encourage fans to organize voting.
Only the top 9 trainees on the 'Roadshow Ranking' are eligible to participate in this event.
After the roadshow list was launched, Yi Jingchen was busy eating the melon "Delivering Chrysanthemums at Midnight" and had no time to pay attention to the progress of the list.
When he heard the results, he immediately rushed out to eat some melons, roughly understood the trend of the list, and unconsciously reported it to the world.
[Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, the competition in talent shows is really fierce. Just for a roadshow list, there are actually over a dozen companies pumping votes for trainees.]
[Thankfully, the programmers at "Super Idol" are experienced and have identified all those who manipulated the rankings and reduced their weighting. True to the tradition of a talent show, they strive to ensure the fairness of the rankings.]
[It was said that there was originally someone who could have made the roadshow list. But because of ranking manipulation, their weight was reduced, and they ended up blocking the spot... Who is so unlucky?]
[Fu Zheng, it's okay then.]
Fu Zheng, who was waiting for the result with great anticipation, felt a dull pain in his chest.
Yi Jingchen, I *****!
[Come to think of it, I'm only ranked 20th on the main list, so I shouldn't be able to make it into the top 9 on the roadshow, right?]
Although Yi Jingchen was a complete rookie in the talent show and had no idea about the ecology of various rankings before the competition, he knew that the talent show paid the most attention to the 'pick list' that determined the debut position, also known as the main list.
In addition to the main list, other lists are called secondary lists.
The sub-list will provide corresponding list benefits, but it cannot influence the trainees' stay or departure.
For contestants with lower rankings, fans will focus all their attention on the main leaderboard in order to help their younger brothers survive for a few more rounds and get a better ranking.
Only popular players with a large fan base and who are comfortable on the voting list will focus on the welfare list.
Yi Jingchen's performance on the first stage was acceptable, but due to his limited basic abilities, the 'idol value' he displayed was far inferior to that of professional idols such as Du Xingwei, Shu Lang, and Tian Xitu.
Even though his followers increased by 50,000, the conversion rate to die-hard fans... that is, the number of people willing to vote for him is relatively low.
Most of the fans who have joined the show are still in the "favorability" stage and their love is not that deep. At most, they vote for the main charts every day.
Yi Jingchen's roadshow ranking is lower than the main list, ranking outside the top 30.
Faced with this result, Yi Jingchen felt mixed emotions.
Worried about being ranked in the top 30, it is far from the final circle. It is a dream to form a group, let alone the C position.
If he still ranks among the top 30 in the second round, he can pack up his things and return to school early to complete the dropout procedures.
Happily,
[I'm only in my thirties, there's no point for me in a roadshow!]
[Yeah!]
[I can stay at the recording studio and be a happy loser!]
The little loser Yi Jingchen was overjoyed and picked up the main body and turned around twice on the spot.
Then, they heard the staff coming to the door of their dormitory.
He glanced inside, lowered his head to check the roadshow list, and announced without emotion:
"Mu Gan, Yi Jingchen, you two are on the list. Meet downstairs at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon on time."
"...Huh?!" Yi Jingchen was halfway through the circle, a look of confusion on his face. "Me? Is there something wrong? My ranking is very low."
[Did I eat fake melon again?]
[Guagua is indeed a scumbag.]
Quaqa protested, "Why say again? It's obviously you who have the problem!"
"Quiet, fake melon system!"
The fake melon system was so angry, but couldn't find an angle to clarify.
Fortunately, the staff proved its innocence in time and explained to Yi Jingchen, "It's like this. The rules of the 'Super Idol' roadshow are the same as other S-series talent shows. It adopts a 9+9 format. The first 9 represent the top 9 of the roadshow list, which means they are very popular. The last 9 represent the theme song class A, which belongs to the strength group. You are ranked ninth in class A, which meets the criteria for the strength group, so prepare well."
The staff patted Yi Jingchen on the shoulder and encouraged him to do a good job.
Yi Jingchen was stunned, and the bitter past when he just became an intern reporter and the editor-in-chief did not pay him overtime but asked him to stay up late to write articles flashed before his eyes.
[I'm so miserable... I'm ranked so low on the list, and I have to go out and dance to please everyone.]
[Chunchun was taken advantage of for free!]
Seeing Yi Jingchen standing there, he looked pitiful as if he had been beaten by reality.
The audience in the live broadcast room all thought of the words "God has his own way".
Sure enough, it’s fun to get something for free for a while, and it’s always fun to get something for free!
Continue next time~
.
The "Super Idol" program team released the news of the roadshow in advance, and the location is the convenience square in the city's central commercial area.
18 trainees will perform the theme song collectively in a 'flash mob' format.
Simply put: jump when you get there, and roll away after you jump. The whole process will not take more than 20 minutes.
Even though it was only 20 minutes long and there was no extra activity besides dancing to the theme song, even if fans rushed to the scene, they would not be able to interact with their favorite brother alone.
But this is the first serious offline event of this year's "Super Idol"!
As we all know, offline is a war of fans!
Especially offline events with many participants, it is a big melee.
The number of people present, the intensity of support, and the volume of cheers can all directly reflect the popularity of the trainees.
Each sister not only wants to let her younger brother who is "let out for fun" feel her enthusiasm.
More importantly, the team must be the first in terms of offline kills and support in order to win the offline war and demonstrate its ability to compete for C.
Otherwise, with only a few people going offline, how could they have the confidence to shout out the cheering slogan "So-and-so debuts in the C position?"
With two days left before the roadshow, other fan groups are already busy preparing to buy billboards, wear uniform support uniforms, and even go there two days in advance to reserve spots.
On the other hand, Yi Jingchen’s fans——
Fans follow the main character and have fun.
Opening Yi Jingchen’s largest official fan group, most of the group members are too lazy to go through the trouble of watching the roadshow.
-: There will be a roadshow in S city the day after tomorrow. I heard that Chenchen will also participate. Can anyone help me get an ID?
-: Roadshow... I'm a bit torn. Even though I live in City S, it's still a two-hour subway ride to get to the roadshow. Plus, there's a New Year's Comic Con going on there, so it's going to be packed. I really don't want to go...
-: +1. Even if you go to the scene, you can only see Chenchen for 20 minutes. It’s better to stay at home and watch the 24-hour live broadcast.
-: I kind of want to go, but if no one's with me... I'd better wait and see...
Domestic silver tabby: I will be there, if you need someone to accompany you, you can contact me. Other sisters, if you need to bring ID, you can also contact me.
-: @家养银色层, you’ve worked so hard, sister. Thank you for taking so many great pictures for us every day. It’s amazing to have you in my circle!
Home-raised silver tabby cat: It’s not hard. Sisters who are present on the day can contact me and I will customize some small peripherals for you.
-: My sister is going to release merchandise? Why didn’t you announce it in advance?
-: I heard that this is my sister's first time being a fangirl, so she might not be familiar with the process. When other fangirls release merchandise, they'll announce it in advance on Weibo.
Domestic Silver Tabby: Sorry, I didn’t know there was a preview.
-: It’s okay, it’s okay~ What peripherals did your sister prepare?
Homemade Silver Gradient: [Picture]
Homemade Silver Gradient: As shown in the picture, this is a custom-made cat ear phone case by Yi Jingchen. To ensure that the peripherals don't match your phone, I've also prepared some phones for everyone. You can claim them based on your super topic level and voting record (I see other fan clubs have set these two conditions, which should be in line with fan circle rules).
Domestic silver tabby: There are quite a lot of cat ear phone cases, and sisters who arrived on the day should be able to get one.
The domestic silver-colored cat released two pictures, one of which is a super cute silver-colored cat ear phone case.
It's neatly arranged and the workmanship is exquisite. The cat ears on the left are decorated with miniature baji, and the furry ones on the right are definitely a nice touch. The phone case itself even has a colorful hemp effect.
The other one was prepared to match the phone case. It is a new phone that has been out of stock worldwide and extremely difficult to buy since last year.
The boxes were piled haphazardly in the corner, and no one even bothered to unpack them.
When the young fans in the group saw the photo, they suddenly fell silent for half a minute, and then became collectively excited.
-: What peripherals do we send? A mobile phone (trembling sound)
Homemade Silver Gradient: The surrounding is a phone case, the phone is just included. However, this batch of phones were customized directly from the manufacturer. The power button has a cat paw logo and the YJC abbreviation. I hope you like it.
-: I like it! I like it so much!!! From now on, you will be my real sister!
-: Sister, wait for me. Even if you get stabbed the day after tomorrow, I will arrive at the scene on time!
-: Rich sister, I want to give you a mobile phone... No, what are the requirements for giving you a mobile phone case?
Home-raised silver tabby: This is my first time chasing a celebrity offline, so I’m not very clear about it. As long as everyone supports my home-raised silver tabby, it’s ok.
-: That won’t do! We’re already there, so we must give Chenchen the best possible appearance!
-: Yes! The rich sister has given so much, and as Chenchen’s fans, we have to do our part for her brother!
-: Most of the sisters in the group are veteran star-chasing girls, and they arranged everything like they would at a concert, including big light boards, banners, headbands, and cheering sticks!
-: Good, good, good! Go, go, go!
On the day of the roadshow, at 4 p.m.
The 18 trainees participating in the roadshow are preparing to gather downstairs of the dormitory building.
In addition to the nine Class A players who got the opportunity for free because of their strength, there are also nine people who got the opportunity because of their popularity.
Yi Jingchen glanced over and found that several of them looked familiar.
In the popularity group, Mu Gan ranked 1st, Lu Jue ranked 4th, Li Jibai ranked 7th, and Rao Han ranked 9th.
Mu Gan and Rao Han stood at the head and tail of the popularity group, representing the victory of the people who enjoy playing in the Harry Potter circle and the people who enjoy playing in the e-sports circle respectively.
It also represents a great victory for the idol circle.
——No matter how successful you are in other circles, when you come to the idol circle, you still have to dance boy group dances.
"Ready to go, are you in your uniforms?"
Staff arrived at the scene holding loud speakers and checked their formal uniforms and matching bow ties one by one.
After making sure that everyone is dressed neatly, we organize everyone to get on the bus.
"Super Idol" requires a large recording venue, and the rent in the city is expensive, so the recording base is located in a remote suburb.
It takes at least two hours to drive from the base to the city, just in time to catch the nightlife of a big city.
While driving, the staff briefly introduced some precautions to everyone. The first few points were mainly about keeping a distance from fans, not creating chaos, leaving in time after the roadshow, etc.
After explaining the basic rules, the staff member added, "Also, there's a large event happening near the roadshow venue these next two days. So there won't just be your fans watching, there might be a lot of people who don't know much about your idols, so be prepared."
Du Xingwei asked curiously, "What activity?"
The staff member flipped through the information and replied, "It seems to be a comic convention-style event. There are a lot of people in attendance, mostly fans of 2D culture. As you know, 2D and idol circles belong to different fields. There is some overlap, but not much. Please be careful with your words and actions."
"A large comic convention?" Yi Jingchen, who was a little drowsy due to motion sickness, suddenly shuddered. "What comic convention?"
"There's no notification from above, I'll check." The staff didn't understand why Yi Jingchen was so determined to get to the bottom of the matter, but they cooperated and searched for information about the comic convention, and soon got the results.
"ACG-type comic conventions, the ones that... become popular thanks to their promotional songs." The staff searched for the keywords and seemed to understand why Yi Jingchen was nervous. He comforted him, "Don't worry, the comic convention and the roadshow are two blocks apart. The fans of that cosplayer shouldn't come over to scold you...right?"
Thinking about Cat Chef's dislike for Yi Jingchen, the staff suddenly became unsure.
Li Jibai seemed to think he wasn't clear enough and asked, "Is it the ACG convention that originally had only about 5,000 people, but later attracted over 100,000 thanks to 'Breaking Dimensions', becoming a major comic convention?"
The staff had found limited information and didn't have a detailed understanding. They looked at Li Jibai with admiration, "That's right! You're worthy of being an anime UP host. You know much more than me!"
Li Jibai got a positive answer, turned to face Yi Jingchen, opened his pale lips, and said something very cruel:
"Senior, this exhibition is the gathering place of the Cat Cult."
It has been two years since the release of "Breaking Dimension", but the passion of cat fans is still there.
Members of the Cat Cult will still use this exhibition hall as the main base for their gatherings.
In other words, near the roadshow site, there were believers everywhere who had licked Yi Jingchen's cosplay photos countless times.
God wants to kill me!
Yi Jingchen figured it out, and his heart finally gave out. He leaned his head against the backrest of the front seat of the bus, trying to escape the tragic reality.
[Help!]
[I want to withdraw from the competition!]
"Super Idol" claims to be broadcast live throughout the entire process, so it is naturally impossible to miss the departure shots of the 18 Class A + popular contestants.
In the official live broadcast room, netizens who were confused expressed their doubts when they saw Yi Jingchen on the verge of collapse.
Immediately, some enthusiastic netizens who were watching the whole process came to happily educate them.
What's wrong with Yi Jingchen? He's quite reasonable in the offline 2D community. He even wore a Lolita dress cosplay costume to a comic convention. Isn't he satisfied with the free visual feast?
[The sisters above are absent from class, right? After Yi Jingchen finished singing "Breaking Dimensions," some cat haters started a fuss, saying he was a three-dimensional cat, and unscrupulous marketing accounts made a big fuss about it. Cat fans thought Yi Jingchen had paid for the press release himself and hated him to the core.]
Most of the Mao fans I know have been fans for seven, eight, or even ten years, so they wouldn’t go so far as to engage in offline anti-fan activities.
[I wouldn't be anti-offline if I'm far away, but if your mortal enemy is two blocks away, would you rush over and spit at him?]
[Uh…yes!]
[Also, Yi Jingchen chose a terrible time. This year, the Cat has been on hiatus for several months, and the Cat Cult is already quite empty. The Left Guardian and the Right Guardian are both absent.]
I know the right protector, he went to "Super Idol" to learn the girl group dance as a reward for being one of the top 100 UP masters, but where is the boss's left protector?
[Don't ask! The boss is busy! Our boss, Zuo Hufa, has a gold mine at home. He's busy manipulating the stock market, acquiring the United Nations, and negotiating with aliens about the division of cosmic assets. It's normal for him to disappear for a few days~]
[A mere passerby is amazed. You guys, Zuo Hufa, are so amazing, why do you have a cosplayer?]
Upon learning that an ACG exhibition was being held nearby, Yi Jingchen appeared listless in the second half of the exhibition, as if he might change his life at any time.
Looking around the entire bus, there is an invisible sense of "clear distinction" between the two.
The contestants in Class A sat together, and the contestants who got tickets by popularity sat together, and there was not much communication between them.
Those who got this opportunity by virtue of their popularity kept glancing at the ones at the bottom of Class A, especially Yi Jingchen.
The contestants who can stay in Class A during the theme song stage basically rely on their strength to stand in that position. Naturally, they will attract a group of fans who admire the strong, and their initial ranking will not be too low.
Only Yi Jingchen is such a loser that he can't attract any fans who admire him.
The rules of the draft are simple and crude. It is not about who has the ability, but about who is more charming, has an interesting soul, and can attract more fans to vote.
In the boy group audition, votes are king.
The popularity group sitting here is enough to represent that they have a lot of votes.
Those students at the bottom of the rankings in Class A will have to give up their places to me sooner or later after the round ends.
The contestant from the popularity group thought smugly, and poked a few holes in Yi Jingchen with his eyes.
[Fool! Cherish your time in Class A!]
[When you get off the car later, you’ll realize that navigating the entertainment industry isn’t easy!]
[If you don't know what's good for you and rush in front to block my camera, don't blame my fans for being anti-you!]
Several contestants who rose to the top through popularity were smugly thinking the same thing:
After getting off the car, the whole place was filled with people calling his name and Yi Jingchen could only watch helplessly.
If this kid doesn't know what's best for him and dares to occupy the most eye-catching C position, the fans at the scene will definitely teach him a lesson.
[If you are not familiar with this, you should act like a fool. Give up the center position and recognize the truth...]
"Yi Jingchen!"
Still far away from the roadshow site, a loud shout pierced the moving bus.
The depressed Yi Jingchen instantly regained his spirits, opened the car window and looked outside.
Around the roadshow venue where the program crew had set up a cordon, there were several rows of young girls wearing cat ear headbands, cat claw cheering uniforms, and holding Yi Jingchen's banners on their mobile phones, and a few boys.
Even the phones they used to take pictures were covered in the same cheering phone case. The inside was decorated with silver-white flowing lines, which changed into Yi Jingchen and then into a silver gradient as they shook.
It reflects the evening sunlight, emitting bright sparkling light, which is very beautiful.
Yi Jingchen instantly cheered up, put aside his previous worries, and smiled as he pinched a little heart for them.
"I'm coming! I heard you!"
“Ahhhh!”
Chen’s fans were the first to get a response from the real person, and they screamed with excitement.
The new fan who was originally on the sidelines, but was tempted by the mobile phone... no, the support peripherals, and rushed to the offline store, suddenly had mixed feelings.
Although Yi Jingchen was still sitting in the car, he was still some distance away from them.
However, fans with good eyesight saw from afar that Yi Jingchen was like a little fool, waving his hands and making a heart shape with his hands, trying hard to respond to them.
The boy is very handsome, and everyone noticed it when they were watching the live broadcast.
From the start of recording of "Super Idol" till now, they have developed aesthetic fatigue from looking at Yi Jingchen's face every day.
It wasn't until Yi Jingchen came in front of them that everyone realized——
Go to TM live broadcast!
Did the rubbish production crew use an ugly filter on Yi Jingchen? ! !
How come my brother's gorgeous face becomes just ordinary-looking when he's in front of the camera?
"Thank you for the cat-ear light board you prepared for me. I saw it all!" Yi Jingchen was so excited when he saw his fans that it was impossible to tell who was the successful star chaser.
If the car hadn't stopped yet, he would have wanted to jump out of it.
"Minister, don't stick your head out!"
"We're not in a hurry. Stop the car first before getting off!"
Chen's sister, who was waiting on the roadside, hurriedly comforted her idol, fearing that Yi Jingchen would jump out of the car to see them.
At this moment, they all felt guilty.
When I thought about the fact that I came to the scene just for the phone, I was almost overwhelmed by guilt.
Fortunately, Yi Jingchen is like a stupid little kitten and doesn't care what your reasons are.
As long as you are willing to play with him, the kitten will be very happy.
When Chen's sister thought of this, she became even more excited, and her voice became even louder.
The other fans finally reacted and, not wanting to be outdone, started shouting their own younger brothers' names in an attempt to drown out the Chen family's cheers.
Before the bus found a place to park, the fans outside had already started a battle to see who had the loudest voice, and the shouts almost broke through the sky.
The moment the car door opened, Yi Jingchen heard a familiar, full-bodied shout:
"Yi Jingchen!"
"Hubby, I love you!"
[here we go again! ]
Yi Jingchen recognized the familiar voice.
[That loud-mouthed fangirl, no wonder I didn't see her on my way to work today.]
As soon as the bus door opened, Yi Jingchen, who was sitting in the back seat, rushed out and headed straight for the roadshow venue. The two staff members next to him failed to hold him back.
The elder sister of the Chen family, who had been staying where she was, was not surprised at all when she saw Yi Jingchen rushing out first. Instead, she felt a sense of pride.
"My beloved Beanie is so clingy, he can't wait even for a few minutes, like a dog."
"There's nothing I can do. Chenchen really wants to see us!"
"There shouldn't be any idol who keeps a distance from fans with a sullen face, right?"
The fans nearby looked more and more pale when they heard this, and the cheers they had been shouting at the top of their lungs were swallowed back into their stomachs.
Following Yi Jingchen, several players from Class A quickly got off the car to greet their fans.
Luqiu Li Jibai and two cross-border players also got off the bus one after another.
Only a few trainees from the popular group who had won the roadshow qualification by virtue of their high popularity, who had been so proud all the way, dawdled and fell to the back, their faces looking worse than each other.
How can they be happy?
I originally wanted to prove my popularity offline so that the unknown students in Class A could recognize their place and move out earlier.
What's the result?
The combined number of their fans cannot compare to the most obscure contestant in Class A. How can the popular contestants put their face?
Yi Jingchen didn't care where their old faces were. He ran to where his fans gathered and waved his cat claws everywhere.
Yi Jingchen: "Hello everyone~ Thank you for voting for me. It must be very hard, right?"
"It's not hard. I only vote five times a day... I'm not a qualified fan."
"Five votes is already impressive!" Yi Jingchen smiled sincerely.
Yi Jingchen didn't understand the entertainment industry, but he knew star-chasing girls.
They are probably the most selfless, purest, and most unselfish group in the world. They spend time and energy on their favorite idols, even if they don't know.
All it takes is a smile, a response, a photo, or an autograph, and a fan girl can be purely happy for a long time.
What a coincidence.
Providing emotional value is Yi Jingchen's strength.
He is very good at making people who like him happy.
"Chenchen, don't be sad if your ranking isn't ideal right now. I'll register a few more accounts to vote for you after I get home."
"I'm not sad. Ranked around 20th is already pretty good. My foundation is weak in all aspects, and I'm really grateful that you're willing to support me to this position. There's no need to force yourself. Live your own life well and don't let my goals become a burden to you." Yi Jingchen thought for a moment and said, "Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the emperor."
[I'm sick of it. Yi Jingchen is really good at flattering his fans.]
[Support idols who flatter their fans! Idols should flatter their fans, flatter them hard!]
[If you don't understand, is Yi Jingchen considered fan-pleaser by doing this? What does that guy next to him who's complaining about his low vote count and asking the voting team to give him a debut spot mean?]
[It's considered straightforward, the fans like it. After all, 'We are the only younger brother', 'You know how hard my brother works, right?', 'Spending everything to support my brother's dream' is zzzq]
I don't think Melon King is trying to curry favor with his fans. He's probably genuinely happy to see them. Judging by his words, there's no fawning or flattery in his words. He seems quite reasonable.
I like idols like Gua Wang. They have a lot of emotional value and don't require any real money. I'm hooked!
[Guluo Wang, you should laugh now. I heard that the comic convention got the news that the cat chef army is on the way to attack.]
[Ahhh, save the Melon King! He's just a little loser! ]
