【Topic】The first episode of our group variety show is pretty good
[Main Post] I was worried that Chinese group variety shows would be too exciting, but after watching the first episode, I was pleasantly surprised! Especially when the theme song started, it gave me goosebumps instantly! The feeling of being so tired and tortured during the finals came back to me... Fortunately, my idol debuted orz

+1 for looking good. Even though the members aren't familiar with each other yet, this is a group show, come on! [starry eyes] Isn't the point of letting the members gradually get to know each other under our watchful eyes, and eventually become an inseparable group?

Can you tell me? It's too short. It's not worth watching.

Huayao should let them rest more. I feel speechless when seeing them working for a whole day and a half =_= Although they are all young people, there is no need to work so hard.

The dorms are so big! So beautiful! I can't believe how much better they are than what other boy/girl groups get paid for. And everyone's pretty entertaining. After watching this episode, I feel like Ji Shao is kind of the backbone of the nine. Hehehe, I have a guess as to why they'll be so serious in the next episode. Could they be choosing a captain?

It was really funny, my face almost froze from laughing! And it also gave me a lot of new sweet moments hahaha. Although I wasn't familiar with some of the members before, Xiang Rui was really cute! Especially when Ji Shao and Chu Cheng shared a room together later!!! I used to be embarrassed to support this couple, but now it's really good [drooling]

But I'm wondering why there are no endorsements in the first episode? Logically speaking, NINE STAR's group variety show must have no shortage of sponsors, right?

I'm going to let you in on the fun! Let's go and join the trending discussion! The brothers are really nice... I won't go into detail, just go!

Reply to 149L: Have you seen the preview, baby? I guess the second preview is just a behind-the-scenes look at the sponsors and endorsements! If that's the case, the sponsors are pretty good. Let them take care of the progress of the group variety show.

Although Huayao’s contact mentioned in the fan club group that “throw the topic for a chance to get a member’s autographed photo”, fans who received the notification just thought it was a notice asking them to create hype.
However, after fans received a series of responses from NINE STAR members on their blogs, their chat rooms and fan groups exploded. Regardless of the show, online fans always outnumber offline fans, and Star 101 is no exception. For online fans, these are the only times they can interact with their favorite artists.
The first episode of the group variety show ended quickly, but fans who wanted to edit it would go back and watch it several times, plucking out the highlights of their favorite artists' performances. These specially edited videos were incredibly popular with fans, and bloggers would highlight the artists' highlights in their posts, ensuring that no one who didn't have time to watch the group variety show was left out.
After everyone discovered that the members were more inclined to reply to blog posts with interesting content and actively discuss the content of the program, the square of #NINE STAR团杂播# was already flooded with various fan activities.
This positive and engaging discussion on the square was undoubtedly quite interesting to passersby drawn in by the trending searches, significantly expanding NINE STAR's audience. While many people may not be fans of celebrities, they still enjoy watching entertaining variety shows.
In cooperation with her own fan club, everyone actively posted and interacted in the square while watching. When Zhou Xiao was watching the group variety show, she would also post the content that she found interesting to her account. Of course, the account she used for surfing has always been her own small account.
After the show ended, one of her posts on her second account went viral for unknown reasons. Perhaps because it was posted early, it looked like a normal fan following the show, but the show's marketing account had bought her to share the post.
Yes, they were paid for it. Zhou Xiao vaguely remembered Ning Jiayue and Ren Heqi both complaining about this in the group chat. Marketing account spoofing was usually a task assigned by MCN companies. Regardless of whether it was interesting or boring, they had to follow it. If they encountered interesting marketing, it would naturally be icing on the cake for their account, but if they encountered boring marketing, they would be unlucky. Not only would their data be bad, but they would also receive sarcastic comments from some fans, saying, "I'm just making money again."
Zhou Xiao noticed that the marketing accounts in the repost section weren't all saying "ahhhhhhh" and barely suppressed the urge to delete the post. "This is hilarious! It looks like they really think this is funny," Qi Sisi observed the increasing number of reposts for Zhou Xiao's sub-account on her phone screen and laughed mischievously as well.
She knew the reason why Zhou Xiao opened a small account. Unlike other people who wanted their blog posts to be discovered, Zhou Xiao just wanted to open a small account so that he could chat in the square.
For fans, group variety shows themselves are a way to learn more about the artist's personality, so the content on the hot search square at this time is basically these remarks -
[I finished watching an episode of the group variety show while lying in bed! It was really hilarious! Don’t regret it if you don’t watch it.]
[Who understands? After watching the first episode, I'm already thinking about what's going to happen next. Can you give me some support in the later stages? This valued member can give you advanced on-demand streaming for this small group variety show @蓝梅视频V Please don't be ungrateful!]
[Hands up if you’ve just finished watching the first episode and are already watching it again…]

In the small group chat, everyone had already turned on the magnifying glass mode. Zhou Xiao replayed the first episode of the group variety show and sat down with Qi Sisi to watch it for the second time.
When the small group chat was in full swing, Dong Xiaoyu, who had been lurking the whole time, suddenly forwarded the blog post from Zhou Xiao's second account. After tagging Zhou Xiao, she said quietly in the group, "By the way, Xiaoxiao, remember to check your private messages later."
Those fans who were previously replied by NINE STAR members just received private messages from the official Weibo account.
——A certain blog——
@CongeeVCongee: I suspect Ji Shao was involved in Xu Zhou's forced removal of his hat [smirk]

The picture shows Liang Wendao in the group show when he was trying to pull Xu Zhou's hat. There was Ji Shao leaning back slightly between the two of them.
@NINE STAR-Xu Zhou V: [Cross fists] Thank you so much for this selfless witness. @NINE STAR-Ji Shao V, do you have anything else to say? [Smile]
@NINE STAR-Ji Shao V: Seeing through but not saying it [hush]
[Ahhh, I'm dying of laughter, hahahaha, you two are interacting with each other]
Ji Shao: I am retreating to advance.
[This backward look looks really skillful kkkkk]
[[Poor] Can you two talk to the post-production team about extending the group variety show's duration? It's not enough!]
[This is so exciting! You two are actually slacking off and interacting with each other! I'd be remiss if I didn't turn this over!]

The hot comments on Zhou Xiao's blog post on this small account have been occupied by Ji Shao and Xu Zhou, and as time goes by, the number of fans who come to the account to check in has increased.
The backstage of the small account soon received a private message from @NINE STAR official blog V, asking her for the mailing address and promising Zhou Xiao that he would send her autographed photos of two NINE STAR members Xu Zhou and Ji Shao and two press conference tickets before September 20.
Zhou Xiao probably had at least two tickets on hand: one issued by the system, and the other, which Lin Qianxia had previously promised to send her, though she didn't yet know the exact number. After glancing at the private messages on the official Weibo account, she tagged Li Mo and Dong Xiaoyu in the group chat, asking if they'd attend the press conference.
Dong Xiaoyu hesitated in the group for a long time before she reluctantly said that she might not be able to go. When she typed these words, she felt like the only weak, pitiful and helpless person in the group who didn't have much vacation time left and it was difficult to ask for leave (which was actually true).
Zhu Jian, who was in the group, had already secured a ticket on behalf of the data station during the previous vote distribution process. This time, the rules for the ticket distribution were that each of the five major functional stations would receive one ticket, with the remaining five being distributed to the sub-stations.
Ji Shao's five main function stations include the fan club, super topic, comment control, anti-black fan, and data station. This ticket distribution is the first time that fans who work as black fans on these function stations have been given benefits. How these tickets are distributed within the station depends on everyone's individual ideas.
As far as the data site is concerned, it seems that the fans who can endure the data are mostly online fans. Regarding the ticket, everyone was polite and let those who needed it take it. Zhu Jian only accepted the ticket after promising to bring IDs for others in the site.
…
After what might seem like a "short" hiatus, NINE STAR's next activities were truly unstoppable. The next day at noon, upon emerging from the system training room, Zhou Xiao received a new ticket—[Ding! NINE STAR group event "Shanghai Mid-Autumn Festival Feast" detected, automatically issuing ticket*1]
Zhou Xiao opened his phone and searched for last year's Shanghai Mid-Autumn Festival Gala. The invited celebrities were all quite old-school, some big names, but it was clear that the target audience wasn't young people. But what show could dare to say it didn't need a young audience?
After NINE STAR became the city spokesperson for Shanghai's Huashang District, Shanghai TV stations this year featured a significant increase in celebrity talent. The ratings for the Qixi Festival Gala also saw a significant increase, demonstrating the importance of incorporating fresh talent.
There was no online discussion of the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala at the moment, and Zhou Xiao quickly understood why. The title of NINE STAR Huashang District city spokesperson wasn't earned for nothing. At a time like this, when other artists were desperately trying to get on the satellite TV gala, some, relying on the endorsement of their superiors, were already well ahead.
After a quick lunch brought by his butler, Zhou Xiao was already packing his luggage for the trip to Shanghai. Chen Si had agreed with Zhou Xiao two days prior to arriving in Jiangsu Province a day early for the shoot.
Standing on the balcony overlooking the Huashang Times, enjoying the comfort of the gentle breeze and watching the swallows passing by, Zhou Xiao suddenly thought of the toy bird he had bought for Xiao Sanhua before. He wondered if it had been played with by now?
