Chapter 118
Yu Du, on the other hand, was looking for a scalper he'd contacted to inquire about the red carpet ticket prices for the Vogue gala. After all, as Wenger had said, Huayao might not necessarily distribute the tickets, and even if they did, given the popularity and number of artists at the event, there would definitely be an auction. So, he had to find a scalper and be prepared.
With a twitching mouth, Yu Du replied to a scalper who quoted an exorbitant price. She was thinking about whether to ask Wenger to recommend a reliable one to her, but when she thought about Wenger's family, even if the one was reliable, the price would probably be unaffordable for her.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly received a message from Zhou Xiao. It was like a pie in the sky, so touching! How could he not want it? Of course he wanted it! After sending Zhou Xiao his address with tears in his eyes, Yu Du began to dig through his family's belongings, looking for something he could give Zhou Xiao offline.
Who would give away tickets to a fellow fan? It's my heart! Even before bed, Yu Du was happily scrolling through the group chat, watching others in the fan group complain about the outrageous prices scalpers were offering. If Zhou Xiao hadn't contacted her, she'd be one of those people who was left feeling overwhelmed tonight! Now, all she had to do was book flights and hotels within her budget!
In the fandom community, relationships between co-hosts aren't generally very good. This is partly due to discrepancies in the quality of the images produced, leading some fans to compare the quality of the two fandoms. This is undoubtedly irritating for the fandoms themselves, making it difficult for them to maintain a healthy relationship. Furthermore, it also involves factors like traffic and merchandise sales; when there's competition, it's natural for everyone to avoid being in a relationship.
Ji Shao's fandom is already on a whole other level within his own fan circle, and Yu Du is both grateful and happy that her fandom is one of them. While many fans aspire to be their artists' best fans, Yu Du, as a seasoned fan, is quite content with her current situation, knowing her own strengths and weaknesses.
Pian Ran Xin Dong was Ji Shao's first fan club member, and she also set the quality standard for merchandise within the fandom. While many fan club members, including those who custom-made their own merchandise with factories, didn't reach Pian Ran Xin Dong's standards, they all managed to produce merchandise with the utmost polish compared to other companies. This, of course, is also due to the relatively tolerant nature of the fandom; once envied by Pian Ran Xin Dong merchandise, they naturally shifted their attention to merchandise from other fan clubs.
For stations like theirs, Zhou Xiao's station not only has the effect of attracting traffic, but also has a constant flow of peripheral demand, which is enough for some stations that generate electricity for love to obtain more sufficient funds to continue chasing Ji Shao.
Just look at the five or six new fan clubs that have emerged within Ji Shao's fan circle since the audition. Without a strong fan base of reposts, likes, and comments, a new fan club won't last long. Generating love also requires a response. This virtuous cycle benefits Ji Shao, his fan clubs, and his fans alike, offering a star-chasing experience unmatched by any other fan club.
Back at Zhou Xiao's place, she had also received red carpet and evening gowns from Chen Si's agent. As a leading artist at Metro Entertainment, Chen Si's gowns for her appearance on "Fashion" were all couture international brands.
Both gowns are couture, so even if she's a bit of a beauty queen in a celebrity beauty contest, she can at least save face for her fans. As an A-list artist, her styling team must have access to a fair share of couture. However, couture is couture, and often requires a commitment to the garment. This is one reason why some artists choose couture over a beautiful dress. Beauty is paramount on the red carpet!
However, this time, Chen Si had clearly chosen a couture dress. The two dresses she sent Zhou Xiao were both couture pieces from the same brand, SiliEe. Over the next few days, Zhou Xiao began searching for dresses that would suit Chen Si's personality, preparing for the upcoming shoot.
Time passed, and everything went according to plan. While Zhou Xiao was in the hotel thinking about her shooting style, she didn't notice that her phone, which was set to silent mode to avoid being disturbed, had received quite a lot of communication messages because of a video uploaded to a certain platform.

Li Mo, who stayed at home, eating fruits and browsing Douyin, had long forgotten the regret of not being able to go to Jiangsu Province. Now she has started to indulge in Douyin every day.
She swiped the screen a few times to stop the interface of a certain Douyin app on a marketing account. Then she put her phone aside, put on the disposable gloves and fruit knife she had prepared in advance, and began to peel the big pomegranate she bought home last night.
As she peeled her rice, Li Mo reflected on her flaws. She usually spent the better part of her life searching for a long-running drama or movie on Blueberry Video before dinner. It took her ten or twenty minutes to find a show, but she'd finish her meal in less than ten. Yet, she never tired of it. Even when her hands were full, she'd still find a video to listen to.
"I was completely broken by those 26 yuan 100-piece bulk sanitary napkins..." Li Mo knew what the marketing account was going to say next. This is the downside of entertainment apps: hot topics can ferment later on different platforms.
She first saw someone posting about it on a forum and followed suit by sending some money. Some time later, she saw it again on a trending topic on Weibo, and now she's sharing the same sentiment on Douyin.
As she took off her disposable gloves and prepared to switch to a video she hadn't heard before, the voiceover in the video changed from sad to joyful music. "...After seeing this situation, a kind-hearted person donated a year's supply of sanitary napkins to girls in poor areas! The shelf life of sanitary napkins is three years..."
The video referenced the video of the girl who received the donation, and Li Mo became interested. Instead of scrolling away, he clicked into the comments section, which was filled with messages from netizens who were deeply moved by the incident.
Among these comments, one netizen also shared a picture of the donation he received, with the caption: "@14: I also received sanitary napkins from this kind-hearted person. Thank you so much! I have been using them for a while now. This year I don’t have to ask my family for money to buy them [pats head]"
Li Mo clicked on the comments section of this popular post and saw many kindhearted people replying, offering to help her contract for sanitary napkins for a year or more. Seeing this warmed her heart, and as she scrolled up to like the comment, she suddenly noticed a line of words printed on the cardboard box, a line of account nicknames that she was quite familiar with.

【Topic】Look what I found on Douyin...
[Main Post] Family, this isn't a spam post. I was browsing Douyin and saw someone donating something. The comments section made me feel bad. I was about to give a like and leave to donate, but then I saw the account of a celebrity in my group on the box...

Is my memory wrong? I don't think there is any mention of her doing charity work in the forum.

Reply to 1L: Indeed, no. I compiled the public welfare form of Xingtu 101 before. I didn't post any public welfare blog posts at that time.

Ah, this... I remember someone on the forum mocked this sister before for not following other sites to do charity work, and only doing superficial work and scheming. Doesn't it hurt now?... This charity was even initiated by the recipients of the donations.

Why have I never seen this brand before? I want to do charity and buy some big brands. It’s not good to have something like this without any quality assurance when it comes to personal use.

It's people like 45L who have made this forum so chaotic. It's really like, "Why not eat the meat?" The profit margins on brand-name sanitary napkins are incredibly high. The difference in quantity you can buy with the same money spent on a brand-name product versus a non-branded one is staggering! Besides, you're saying they're "three no's." If they weren't, they could have sent you a lawyer's letter and sued you!

I used the software to find this Shujingjie sanitary napkin. It is an old domestic brand and its standards are in line with national requirements! I also searched and found that they are one of the drafters of the national standards for sanitary napkins in China. It seems that they filed for bankruptcy before, but I don't know why they continued to operate.

Sister Xindong's wave is in the atmosphere...
…
Zhou Xiao initially considered these factors when choosing this domestic sanitary napkin manufacturer, especially since it had passed the system's audit. Upon learning that the manufacturer had subsequently been revived with support from the local government and was continuing to provide low-priced, low-profit, high-quality sanitary napkins to the public, she was convinced. The owner of the sanitary napkin manufacturer, upon learning Zhou Xiao was contributing to the charity, also reduced his own profit.
The content of this post was quickly seen by Ji Shao fans surfing the forum, and soon someone moved the post to their own super topic. While everyone was proud of their own heart-pounding actions, some smart fans had already submitted the content of this post to the marketing account.
Some marketing accounts on Weibo accept submissions, typically marked "Accepting Submissions" in their posts. These accounts operate in a variety of directions, accepting any article that can generate buzz, regardless of whether it's a hit or a miss. Others are paid accounts, requiring a fee to accept and post submissions from private message recipients. Of course, provocative posts don't need to be reposted; these accounts will immediately post them on Weibo to attract attention.
Public service posts are Amway-style, and the charity work done by "Dangrenxindong" is posted by the recipients of donations, making it a popular topic for some marketing accounts, such as @韓圈練習手書V. Soon, after seeing the good data from other marketing accounts' posts, some high-traffic marketing accounts started posting on their own topics.
Of course, when this post was shared by fans on the super topic, it was already noticed by Xincheng, which always values market opinion. When Song Xiao sent a message to Zhou Xiao and still received no response, Xincheng quickly contacted the manufacturer of Shujiejie to initiate friendly communication.
