Chapter 117
After placing the tickets issued by the system into a drawer, Zhou Xiao opened a certain Weibo account and looked at the official Weibo comment section. The comment section was already completely occupied by Ji Shao fans. Looking at the reposts, it was clear that no other fans were still trying to control the comments.
With a touch of emotion, Zhou Xiao immediately shared all the photos and videos she'd edited today. After she'd distributed the promised benefits, Ji Shao fans, who had been working together all day to pull their own fans up one by one, could finally enjoy some Ji Shao photos posted by their own fans.
Comment manipulation is a crucial element in uniting a fan group. Amidst the joy of this success, looking at Ji Shao's pictures and videos is a completely different experience. Ji Shao's fan group has a large following, and many younger fans normally wouldn't have the chance to sit in the front row. Because their own fans diligently control the comments, they now, with the help of their fellow supporters, are queueing up and being propelled to the front row. This is incredibly exciting and satisfying.
Shortly after the comment manipulation war ended, nearing midnight that evening, all NINE STAR members posted a selfie blog. Many netizens stayed up late to watch the drama unfold, as this was seen as another attempt by the agency to mediate.

【Topic】Ji Shao fans' battle is awesome
[Main Post] Being able to fight back against six opponents is really something I really respect!

I don't know who fooled the other teams, but the first time they split up, they were already thinking of teaming up to take down the center. Don't be so greedy... and now they're being slaughtered. If I were the resource provider, I wouldn't want to give resources to you guys [laughing and crying]

Didn't Lin Nan get into a fight with fans of a foreign artist a few days ago? It was a crushing defeat... That artist had bought a lot of trending searches in China and attracted a lot of elementary school fans, but I didn't expect them to kneel so decisively to Lin Nan's side. Perhaps this result made the other fans feel complacent, thinking they could unite and confront the C-level crowd head-on.

Ji Shao's fans are awesome! I just took a look at the internet and saw he has a ton of fans overseas! On TUI, there are even overseas fans calling on everyone to send invitations to Huayao's work email address, inviting Ji Shao to a fan meeting overseas, hahahaha

Wow, this Huayao thing is hilarious. What's going on? They left it alone at first, then after the two groups had a fight and decided who was victorious, they started acting up again? They actually pushed the members out to post selfies. I'm so grateful! They locked these people up tightly before, not saying a word, and now they've seen the fans rebel and "fight each other," letting them out to ease the conflict. I really don't understand what they mean.
59L
How come there is conflict right after the group is formed? If it continues like this, it would be better to just disband.

To be honest, it's pretty cool to see Ji Shao fans saving people! No one told me that Heartbeat is so tough! If possible, fight more, then I'll go to Heartbeat to collect pictures hahahaha

【Topic】A Little Melon: NINE STAR all-member event melon is here!
[Main Building] Ever since the "Fashion" red carpet started to reveal the celebrities participating, Xiaogua's backstage has been filled with private messages from everyone who cares about this melon orz
A quick tip: it's now confirmed that all NINE STAR members will be attending Vogue's red carpet and gala dinner!
1L
Is this really confirmed?! The leaked list includes a lot of famous celebrities. Isn't this better than that crappy speech show? [Laughs]
18L
Sliding down and seeing that 1L deserves to be scolded, it is sour grapes.

Help! Speaking of dinners, I suddenly remembered that incident! I don't know if you remember a few years ago when an obscure male star followed an artist from the same company to the red carpet and the dinner. That's when I realized that being able to walk the red carpet doesn't necessarily mean you're eligible to attend the dinner.
As a result, during the banquet, when the fashion staff were checking the guests and preparing to invite them to take theme photos, they found an unfamiliar person, and they were asked to leave immediately. In the end, the fashion resources of this artist and the artist who was taken advantage of were basically gone in the circle.
48L
Reply to 27L: I remember that too. It seems like the fashion show has been very strict about who gets invited since that time! I didn't expect us, NINE STAR, to even be invited. Can we be on the cover again? (I'm just kidding!)
62L
Xiaogua, Xiaogua, prepare your red carpet look well this time! If you wear a suit, you can try the same texture as the last time you went to the Qixi Festival Gala in Shanghai! Don't wear some plastic boy band costumes, it will really look low
…
The next morning, Zhou Xiao discovered a rumor in the group chat that someone on the forum had posted. This person was a member of the prestigious Xingtu Production Team. While the Xingtu Production Team was often viewed poorly within the forum and often criticized as trash, this person's status was exceptional. He felt like the only person in the industry who needed to be treated with respect.
Zhou Xiao had just finished eating the melon when he saw the trailer for the group variety show "NINE STAR Growth Diary" jointly released by the official Weibo and Blueberry Video.
The first trailer for the first episode of the group variety show begins with the boys carrying their suitcases off a bus and arriving at the entrance of a villa. The trailer showcases the villa's interior, along with the room assignments, which are intentionally left suspenseful. Seeing the bus and the familiar villa, even though Qi Sisi isn't across from him, Zhou Xiao can't help but find Qi Sisi's jumping around amusing.
The NINE STAR group variety show seems to be full of ostentatious wealth, with several national brands appearing in the first episode preview. It feels like an advertisement, yet not quite. At least the sofa cushions are printed with normal patterns, not brand logos. Because many viewers are accustomed to this kind of PUA-style advertising, some fans are worried that the group show won't be able to find sponsors.
Zhou Xiao's lips twitched slightly at the worried comments. The only reason they'd been away for so long was probably filming commercials and recording albums. As for recording albums, since this was the first domestic boy group to be selected through talent shows, they should definitely put in the effort.
Since the comment manipulation war last night, the relationship between the fans of the NINE STAR members has become somewhat tense. Once the surface of peace and harmony was torn apart, it became difficult to maintain the previous friendly interaction.
However, for the fan club that Zhou Xiao joined, no one seemed to take it seriously. Although the fan fight between several groups ended last night, when everyone was happily eating melons and ranking the fighting power of each group's fans.
Many in the fan group were currently worried about tickets. With so many celebrities in attendance at the Fashion Show red carpet, ticket prices had skyrocketed. Rumors suggested the event would be even more exciting than the Shanghai Qixi Festival Gala. Furthermore, no one knew whether Huayao would issue tickets to the fan clubs.
Speaking of which, Zhou Xiao found this group quite mysterious. This small group, originally created on a whim, consisted entirely of supporters of successful trainees who had debuted. After the finals confirmed the group's roster, everyone in the group was stunned by their luck.
Zhou Xiao, who often lurks, was surprised and quietly changed the group name, which received unanimous praise from everyone.
【Destiny Circle [Screenshots prohibited]】
Four Seasons: There were so many big names on the red carpet this time, I was trembling with fear. Now that I think about it, Star 101 is better. They even sent me tickets. Now that I’ve debuted, I have to buy them myself.
A Wenger: It really feels bad. Huayao notified me so late. I guess the red carpet tickets have already been divided up among the artists who have already reserved them. And we are a group, a whole. If there are fewer than nine tickets, I dare not issue them even if I am Huayao. Besides, the agents and makeup artists will take up the quota.
Title page: Sister Wen, please recommend a scalper to me later. The price offered by the scalper here is really damn high. Unless I have to shoot a large amount of traffic all night, the ticket price will make me feel painful for a long time.
Unique: Being a fangirl is so tiring. If I go and take photos, the tickets are expensive, and the round-trip airfare and hotel expenses are not a small amount... Besides, Huayao has only confirmed its participation so late, I guess the surrounding hotels have increased their prices! If I don’t take photos, some people will pester me and ask if I don’t like it and want to close the site... I swear to God, I’m just not that rich!
…
Zhou Xiao couldn't help but fall silent for a moment as she looked at the chat logs in the group chat. Without the tickets issued by the system, she wouldn't even have access to scalpers. Just as she was thinking about this, a message from Lin Qianxia popped up on her phone's messaging app.
XT-Lin Qianxia: I wonder if Ms. Zhou is available to attend the Fashion Gala on September 13th. If it’s convenient, please give me your address and I’ll mail you a ticket [smile]. If you don’t mind, I’ll also send you a ticket for the gala.
XT-Lin Qianxia: We don't have many tickets this time, so please keep them. I have a small request. I wonder if you would be able to take a photo with NINE STAR [bows]. We'll arrange red carpet access for you and get into the media area!
Just at this moment, Song Xiao also sent a message -
Xincheng-Song Xiao: Teacher Zhou, I just got the news that Ji Shao will be going to the "Fashion" party with their group. I'm sending you a ticket for the dinner. Come and have a good meal and drink!
Fashion was being held in Jiangsu Province, which was why Lin Qianxia had asked if she wanted to go. As for Song Xiao, she had just recently been introduced to Chen Si's shoot. He probably assumed the shoot would be in Jiangsu Province, so he had specially gifted her a ticket to the dinner.
Zhou Xiao took out the ticket issued by the system and took a look. The ticket for the red carpet area did not indicate the location. If Lin Qianxia had not mentioned putting her in the media area, then this area would have made no difference to Zhou Xiao.
The dinner tickets had designated areas, and Zhou Xiao's area was relatively outlying. However, based on the system's tonality, she guessed the innermost areas were likely reserved for celebrities and those in the entertainment industry.
Jiangsu Province is right next to Shanghai, and while everyone in the group was envious, they all chose to give up. While Jiangsu Province is close to Shanghai, it's far from their homes. Qi Sisi even posted several crying emojis in quick succession, coincidentally on the day she was due to take a medical exam for her driver's license.
After confirming that no one could go, Zhou Xiao sent a private message to Tongdan Siji, that is, Yudu.
