Chapter 150 Airport Pickup

The capital city was already very hot in June. The blue sky was cloudless, with only the sun hanging high in the sky, scorching everything.

Beijing International Airport was crowded with people today. Groups of young men and women in cool clothes gathered inside the airport. Some of them held large signs with their names on them, and some held large posters. They were also communicating with each other, and each of them showed excited expressions.

The gathering of this group of people made the entire airport seem particularly congested.

A middle-aged man who was checking in nearby looked at them and asked the airport staff curiously, "Is there any event going on at the airport today? Why are there so many young people?"

The staff member said helplessly, "A big star's flight landed at the airport today, and these are his fans who came to pick him up!"

The middle-aged man was very surprised when he heard this. "What big star is this? Why are there so many people picking him up?"

The staff pointed to a huge billboard directly across from them. On it, a handsome man was holding a Lay's potato chip and about to put it in his mouth. Next to it was the slogan "Lay's, real Lay's!"

"That's it, Gu Wei!"

The middle-aged man suddenly realized that although he was not a fan of Gu Wei, he knew him.

At the beginning of the year, he went to the cinema with his family to watch "Detective Chinatown". He was very impressed by the movie and thought it was very well made. He also had some impression of the young actor who played partner with Baoqiang in the movie.

Recently, I often hear some young colleagues in the company mention a TV series called "Gu Jian Qi Tan" when chatting, which is said to be also starred by Gu Wei.

Even someone like her who has never been a fan of celebrities can feel that this star named Gu Wei is very popular now.

At this time, Gu Wei's flight had just landed, and as soon as he stepped out of the plane, he received a call from his agent.

"Mr. Gu, there are a large number of fans waiting to pick you up outside the airport. I have already communicated with the airport staff, and their staff will cooperate with our people to escort you out."

Gu Wei frowned after hearing this. Although he liked the feeling of being sought after after becoming famous, he would also have a headache if his fans were too fanatical.

"How do fans know my flight information?"

With Gu Wei's current fame, he doesn't need to disclose his schedule like those traffic stars and have a large number of fans pick him up at the airport to make himself appear popular.

His itinerary is completely confidential and the company has not disclosed any information to the outside world.

"Through the feedback we received from our fan groups, we found that some of your fans have connections with airlines and obtained your flight information from them.

So these fans in Beijing organized this airport pick-up event.”

Hearing his agent say this, Gu Wei felt helpless. This was also the trouble of being famous. Your information would always be leaked through various channels.

Gu Wei, who had just gotten off the plane, was being escorted by staff as he walked through the airport.

As soon as he came out of the security checkpoint, he intuitively felt the huge number of fans who came to pick him up at the airport.

Gu Wei walked slowly outside, and the security personnel formed two human walls to protect Gu Wei inside.

When fans from all directions saw Gu Wei coming out, they screamed excitedly and rushed forward.

Some who were a little further away were holding large signs with Gu Wei's name on them, while others were holding high his posters.

More people took out their mobile phones and took pictures facing inside.

"Ah~ Gu Wei is coming out."

"Brother, I love you!!"

"Su Su (Bai Li Tu Su is called Su Su in the play), you are so cool, you are so handsome!!!"

“.”

Gu Wei had no choice at the moment. If there were fewer fans, he could still interact with them, but now there were too many people and the atmosphere was quite fanatical, so he could only leave the scene as quickly as possible.

As long as he leaves, these fans will disperse quickly. Now, if he stays at the scene for one more second, the chance of some accidents will increase.

Finally, with the unremitting efforts of the staff, Gu Wei and his group struggled to separate from the crowd and got on the nanny car that came to pick him up.

Sitting on the car, Gu Wei wiped the sweat from his head and breathed a sigh of relief.

After returning home and resting for a night, Gu Wei received a call from Yang Mi early the next morning while having breakfast.

"Gu Wei~Is he in the capital now?"

"Miss Mi is well-informed. I just got back yesterday afternoon."

"It's not that I'm well-informed, but you're too famous now.

I bet you haven't checked online yet, but the media has already exposed the grand scene of your fans welcoming you to the airport when you returned to Beijing yesterday."

After hearing Yang Mi's words, Gu Wei frowned and said helplessly, "I didn't expect my schedule information to be leaked. These fans organized a pick-up at the airport themselves, which caught me off guard."

Yang Mi on the other end of the phone heard Gu Wei's reluctance and said.

"You're just a full man who doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man. How many celebrities in the entertainment industry wish they had as many fans as you and envy your grand airport reception."

"Sister Mi, you're exaggerating. When it comes to popularity, who can compare to you now?"

Yang Mi chuckled after hearing what Gu Wei said, but did not refute.

What Gu Wei said is indeed correct. Although the popularity of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" has brought Gu Wei great fame and a huge increase in the number of fans, especially in terms of teenage fans, the growth rate is rapid.

But he is still inferior to Yang Mi.

After Yang Mi became famous through "Chinese Paladin III" and "Palace", there has been no particularly outstanding works in the past two years.

Especially in the past two years, after entering the Hong Kong circle, he always played supporting roles in some movies, and the leading roles he played were all bad movies.

"Tiny Times" released last year was a box office hit, but its reputation was terrible, which not only did not help the actors in the movie, but may have had a negative effect.

In the past two years, he has produced many works, but his popularity has declined.

After much reflection, she returned from the Hong Kong circle and joined Huanrui as a studio. Unexpectedly, the first TV series she filmed became a huge hit, which made her feel like when "Palace" was first released.

[Gu Jian Qi Tan] Every character in the entire TV series is very attractive to the audience, but the one who benefits the most is the heroine Yang Mi.

Since the TV series was released, Yang Mi has been the undisputed number one in terms of both online discussion volume and Weibo popularity.

The celebrity power rankings that were just launched on Weibo this month ranked celebrities according to the amount of discussion on their Weibo posts, with Yang Mi ranked first, followed closely by Gu Wei in second place.

Although this list is not authoritative and only uses the popularity of celebrities on the Internet over a period of time as a reference indicator, it can still reflect Yang Mi's current popularity to a large extent.

"The movie I'm starring in, 'The Breakup Master,' will be premiering in Beijing in a few days. You have to come and support me then!"

The two chatted for a while, and Yang Mi finally got to the point.

"No problem, I will definitely support Sister Mi's movie. I can wait for the premiere. When the movie is released, I will book a theater to watch it."

After hanging up the call with Yang Mi, Gu Wei finally had time to go online and read the news about him today.

I checked on my phone and found that there were quite a few reports online about him returning to Beijing yesterday, and one of them even became a trending topic on Weibo.

#Gu Wei returns to Beijing, fans warmly greet him at the airport, the popular idol's popularity explodes! #

#Famous actor Gu Wei arrived in Beijing and was warmly welcomed by countless fans! #

##

The accompanying pictures were all taken when he walked out of the airport yesterday, and some also showed the scene of the huge crowds of fans at the airport.

Gu Wei flipped through the online comments and his brows gradually furrowed.

Because he saw a comment under a piece of news that said

"Airports are public places that provide services to ensure safe flights, not places for celebrity chasing.

When fans pick up passengers at the airport, large crowds gather, which inevitably hinders passengers' normal travel, disrupts public order, and may even cause accidents such as stampedes.

If something like this happens, who will be held responsible?"

This is also something that Gu Wei is very worried about.

Thinking of this, he called his agent Yang Liwen.

"Sister Yang, did you see the news about the fans picking you up at the airport yesterday?"

"Mr. Gu, I've noticed that fans in Beijing are quite united and enthusiastic. Your popularity has increased significantly recently, and the number of your fans has also increased dramatically."

Yang Liwen did not understand what Gu Wei meant. As an agent, in her opinion, what happened yesterday was a common occurrence and it was good for the artist's popularity. Something happened yesterday and it was on the news today, which was conducive to maintaining the artist's popularity.

Gu Wei said in a serious voice, "I really don't like fans gathering in public places like this. If there's a stampede or a conflict between fans and airport staff, I'll be the one to take the blame."

Sister Yang, I'll post a Weibo post later. Please repost it on the studio account and tell the people in our fan group to try to set the pace and avoid such airport pick-up incidents in the future."

After hearing what Gu Wei said, Yang Liwen understood what he meant.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Wei logged into his Weibo, thought for a moment, and typed a message on Weibo.

"I just returned to Beijing yesterday. I'm very grateful for everyone's welcome back, but I feel deeply guilty for the potential safety risks this has caused to the airport and the inconvenience it has caused to more travelers.

I would like to appeal to all my friends who like me, hoping that no one will have to go to the airport or train station to pick me up. I appreciate this kindness and will repay you with better works in the future.

As soon as Gu Wei posted on Weibo, there were immediately a lot of comments.

"What Gu Wei said makes sense. We will listen to you~"

"Brother is so well-mannered. It turns out that my choice was not wrong."

"Support your idol, you are the best!"

“.”

Looking at the comments from fans below, everyone is very supportive of Gu Wei’s initiative. Of course, people from Gu Wei’s company are also helping to guide the fans’ public opinion.

Taking advantage of this Weibo post by Gu Wei, the staff lurking in the fan group also formally told some old fans in the group that they would not go to the airport to pick up their idols in the future. After all, this was the idol's request.

The whole incident is generally developing in a positive direction, so it is sometimes reasonable for idols to take the blame for what fans do. After all, many times, what fans do and how they do it depends on the guidance of idols.

Gu Wei now has nearly 20 million followers on Weibo. Although it cannot be compared with Yang Mi's current 30 million, he is still one of the celebrities with the highest number of followers on Weibo.

Moreover, he has never bought fans, so every time he posts something, there is a lot of discussion below and his fans are very active.

After Gu Wei posted this Weibo, it caused some waves in a small circle due to the popularity of yesterday's airport pick-up news.

After a while, Yang Mi, who had just called Gu Wei, liked this Weibo post, which made the netizens even more excited.

After all, ever since the promotion of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" began, rumors about Yang Mi and Gu Wei have been circulating on the Internet, and this rumor has become more and more intense as "Gu Jian" has become more and more popular.

In order to keep the TV series popular, the two of them did not respond to these questions, which made some CP fans of the TV series happy and excited.

Gu Wei and Yang Mi would dig deep into every interaction and every communication, trying to prove from every aspect that they were together.
