@TanquanxiuxianmanualV: Ahh ...
[Picture][Picture][Picture][Picture]
Picture 1 shows Ji Shao, who has already taken a seat at the round table. In the photo, he has his eyes slightly lowered, making him look even more handsome in the ambiguous atmosphere of the dinner. A strand of hair slipped quietly by his ear, making people want to reach out and pull it back into place.
In the second picture, Ji Shao is leaning on the table with one hand, his expression is three parts lazy and seven parts smiling. As if he saw something, his expression when looking at the camera is particularly soft.
In the third picture, Chen Si is looking sideways as Ji Shao, who is following behind her, introduces the artists at the round table. Beneath her gentleness lies an indisputable strength and dignity. Ji Shao, who is behind her, also extends his hand generously to shake hands with the artist, his smile radiant.
Picture 4 shows Ji Shao with his lips curled up. He's laughing and holding the somewhat bewildered Wu Yanyan's arm as they make a V sign to the camera. His beaming expression as he looks towards the camera makes him look sharp and full of life.
@TangquanxiujianmanualV: Please share my thoughts! Today we're going to expose the wealthy siblings Chen Si and Ji Shao. This is a golden opportunity for them to break out! Don't make me kneel down and beg you!
I'm a big fan of Chen Sijie, and I feel like Sijie and Ji Shao have a great aura. I'd be really disappointed if they didn't play siblings. QAQ
I finally understand why the dinner was so amazing! This atmosphere, combined with Sister Xindong's photography, made for a great photo. I love it.
[Woc! Woc! Thank you, Mr. Pinran Xindong, for not cutting out Wu Yanyan! I'm going to kowtow to the original blog right now!]
[Why don’t the teacher’s hands shake?! My heart is already racing just by looking at the second picture because of those eyes.]
[Picture 1,,, Is there anyone who can write an article about it? It feels so good.]

Shortly after Zhou Xiao returned to the hotel, he received a message in the group chat from Ren Heqi and Ning Jiayue. Based on their years of experience as marketing accounts, they figured that if they could successfully market the #richsiblings# hashtag tonight, Ji Shao might even become a major sensation.
They came to Zhou Xiao to ask if she had more photos or videos. Ren Heqi said they knew someone with the "Scissor Hands" moniker. When Ji Shao was a viral sensation on a certain platform, she took advantage of the opportunity to hook up with several wives who had joined the platform from that platform.
Although none of the teachers edited Ji Shao's videos during this period, the main reason, frankly, was that Ji Shao simply ran out of material. A single clip of his on a certain website has, to put it bluntly, been used hundreds, if not thousands, of times by countless uploaders.
So the two of them thought that if they could take advantage of tonight's popularity to produce a wave of videos, even if the effect was average, it would still strengthen the stickiness of these big players to Ji Shao. After all, no matter how much they like someone, they will run away in a few minutes if they run out of food.
Zhou Xiao naturally had more material on hand, and after a moment's deliberation, she immediately agreed to their proposal. Qin Wan's earlier email response suggested they weren't too bothered. Zhou Xiao quickly found the footage among the materials she had imported into her computer, but she didn't send it immediately. Instead, she edited it and carefully reviewed it several times before sending it to the three of them in their small group chat.
After receiving the video, Ren Heqi sent it to everyone who had shared her and Ning Jiayue's video tonight. Soon, several wives responded enthusiastically. However, while everyone was trying to figure out how to get the meal out, they unexpectedly poured the meal directly into their throats.

The first four pictures are of Chen Si wearing two haute couture outfits, the fifth is a candid photo of Chen Si on the red carpet that Zhou Xiao sent to Qin Wan, and the sixth is a behind-the-scenes photo of her and Ji Shao.
[My wife is so beautiful tonight]
[I feel that my baby is in a good mood tonight and has a good time.]
[Has no one praised my wife's red carpet photo? Was it taken by Wan Jie? Bonus points!]
Ji Shao is actually from New Town too? I'll let him play your younger brother, hahahaha, rich siblings yyds.
[My wife posted a new picture! I am so happy today hehe]

Shortly after Chen Si's post, Ji Shao published a new blog post, following a photo with NINE STAR. As the two began following each other, the hashtag #陈思纪韶富门妹妹# quickly became a trending topic, firmly occupying the top five.
Tonight, Ji Shao's fans felt like they were celebrating Chinese New Year. First, Ji Shao walked the red carpet and went to the dinner as a member of NINE STAR. Then, the group took photos with Shu Shi and Li Anben, and finally, they followed each other with their senior from the company, Chen Si.
Shu Shi and Li Anben, seemingly unrelated, soon discovered their previous collaboration after being dug up by netizens on the forum. It was a commercial film expected to break 100 million yuan on its first day during this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, "The General," directed by renowned director Zheng Cheng.
After Zhou Xiao finished editing the dinner, he started watching it on the super topic. Not many people from his family were there, but the super topic already had a lot of small clips dug up from various sources. This certainly showed that the entire fan circle had become more active after Ji Shao appeared in the public eye.
After briefly browsing the content and switching back to her heart-pounding moments, Zhou Xiao immediately uploaded the edited video. It wasn't long; compared to the nearly three-hour dinner, half an hour seemed a bit short. But every second counted, and after she posted the post, the comments and repost sections were flooded with reposts from fans of the group and various other groups.
In the fan circle, whether it is a fan of a single or a big fan, it is very taboo to directly repost other people's blog posts, but some big fans of each group who are a little thick-skinned said that they were following the group fans to repost! They are also fans, how can they say that they can't repost!
The original post in the forum was quickly pushed to the top, especially those comments that said their idols would take ten, twenty, or even fifty years to get a heart-pounding photoshoot. The netizens in the forum were amused by this and gave it thousands of likes.
The members' interactions at the dinner also attracted many passers-by, especially when Wu Yanyan was about to fall and was helped up by Ji Shao and Chu Cheng next to her, and when the three boys sat in pairs and moved their chairs together when they were stared at by outsiders because of their voices, the burning team spirit made many people sigh - they got a real boy band.
Finally, someone discovered why Wu Yanyan always had such a weird expression in the video. In another angle on Xiaohongshu, his butt cheeks took up a little bit of the chair surface, with a gap in the middle. Many people in the comment section empathized with Wu Yanyan.
…
The next morning, many netizens who had been watching the movie last night saw the trending topic #Dream Come True Starts Recording#. They suddenly realized why Shu Shi and Li Anran had rushed over to take photos with the teenagers at the dinner party the previous night. They couldn't help but sigh: it really is a simple and honest business war!
Lin Qianxia, in her office, was currently browsing the trending search terms, her brows relaxed and a smile playing on her lips. After learning yesterday that the Hazelnut App filming would begin today, her boss, Zong Zhengqian, urgently contacted the "Warrior" crew at noon, asking if they could go on the red carpet that day to facilitate early promotion for the film.
Although the director and the male lead, Wang Baonian, were unavailable, the two leading actors in "The General" happened to be in Jiangsu Province, so after contacting various parties, Zong Zhengqian invited them to come. Although they didn't make it to the red carpet, they did manage to attend the final dinner.
Lin Qianxia, observing the new talent show dominating the top half of the trending search list, instructed Pixia, the company in charge of the official Weibo account, to begin co-promotional efforts with "The General." NINE STAR served as the film's chief marketing officer, and in addition to the promotional collaboration, they also collaborated on the film's theme song, "You."
With the reposts from both official Weibo accounts and NINE STAR members, the hot search #《将》和NINE STAR合作# has been climbing steadily, successfully squeezing out the top spot in the trending search "Dream Come True".
…
At the same time, Blueberry Video will follow Huayao's footsteps and put the previously filmed "Blueberry Video - Promotional Blockbuster" on the shelves to jointly snipe the opponent and seize the popularity of Hazelnut APP.
In the promotional film, each NINE STAR member chose a blockbuster movie that Blueberry Video imported from foreign and domestic libraries to shoot. For Blueberry Video, it doesn't matter how well NINE STAR's shooting is, but unexpectedly, this promotional film has received a lot of praise from the audience.
The male lead played by Ji Shao in the film also caused a wave of secondary creation on a certain website. The title of the film is called "Heartbeat".
In the short promotional video, which runs less than five minutes, Ji Shao's appearance is enough to make the audience gasp in surprise. The image of Ji Shao, wearing a khaki jacket and standing under a tree, flipping through a magazine, is like a dream that brings back memories of first love in school days.
Ji Shao's performance perfectly captures the original film's tone, his handsome features brimming with tenderness and capturing a certain essence of weakness, which left many viewers gasping for joy. While the filming was crude, as Blueberry Video intentionally presented it as a "promotional video," it's worth noting that after the video was released, searches for the film reached hundreds of thousands that day, setting a new record for searches in the library.
Zhou Xiao, on the other hand, was also surprised when she saw Zhu Jian's hashtag #季韶腹心动#. But then, when she realized it was a movie Ji Shao was promoting, she found it somewhat interesting. Because of this trending topic, many random people who stumbled upon the page @Flipped腹心动·纪韶 subconsciously clicked on it after seeing the image on the homepage. Zhou Xiao scratched her nose and thought, perhaps she had somehow "riddled" some of the buzz?
All of this was a disaster for the Dreams Come True production team. I don't know how Huayao Xingyu got wind of their promotional plans today, but the trending searches they bought this morning and the buzz surrounding them were completely thwarted by their combined power play.
To capitalize on the popularity of Star 101, the production team deliberately selected artists with resemblances to established celebrities for the auditions, with NINE STAR members being a top priority. Eliminated trainees, such as the controversial Wang Quan, and talented but unfortunate Gongsun Wenzhuo and Wan Haishan, were offered generous incentives to participate in the dream-making event.
However, this time, the trending searches for the contestants weren't limited to #YanShuScore#, which attracted many curious passers-by to click on it, forcing YanShu fans to suppress the topic. For example, entertainment trending searches related to Ji Shao—#Dream Come True, Have Your Own Ji Shao#—fell significantly lower after Ji Shao's fan club emphasized a ban on boosting popularity.
…
Zhou Xiao packed up her belongings and checked out of the hotel. She then carried her belongings to a coffee shop not far from the hotel. When she pushed open the glass door and walked in, Yu Du, who had already arrived, was waving at her.
Zhou Xiao glanced at the time on her phone. She had arrived ten minutes early, but Yu Du had arrived even earlier. Putting her phone back in her pocket, Zhou Xiao walked towards her seat.
"What would you like to drink?" Yu Du handed the menu on the table to Zhou Xiao. They were both leaving Su Province this morning, so it was nice to be able to have a cup of coffee together.
Zhou Xiao placed her backpack on the sofa, thanked Yu Du, and took the menu she handed her. As she was looking at it carefully, an envelope was slowly pushed towards her. Envelope?
Zhou Xiao looked a little strange. She put the menu down, intercepted the envelope and pushed it towards her. She asked with some confusion, "Hmm... what are you doing?"
Yu Du, suddenly realizing Zhou Xiao's misguided thoughts, slapped his head and opened the envelope on the table. The envelope was made of kraft paper and quite thick, and at first glance, it looked like some kind of banknote was stuffed inside. But once he opened the envelope and took out the contents, Zhou Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Four autographed photos, all signed by middle-aged and older artists, were placed on the table. Yu Du, sitting across from me, looked a little embarrassed. "I can't afford the fashion tickets myself, so thank you so much for giving them to me. I don't know what you like, but from looking at your WeChat Moments, it seems like Auntie really likes these middle-aged and older celebrities. My friends and I collected a few autographed photos that we won in a lottery when we were fan-chasing. If you don't mind, you can take them back!"
Before idols, Yu Du's fans were all actors. Many marketing accounts or official drama blogs would raffle off autographed photos of actors in order to engage with the audience. For them, there were many ways to obtain these less valuable autographed photos of middle-aged and older artists.
Somewhat surprised by Yu Du's attentiveness, Zhou Xiao accepted the autographed photos with a smile after confirming they were readily available and free of charge. For Ms. Zheng, it wasn't just about liking everything, and the autographed photos Yu Du gave her were all of established and famous artists.
After seeing Zhou Xiao accept the autographed photo, Yu Du relaxed a bit. The two of them gradually began chatting about their fandom experiences, exchanging tips and gossip. Yu Du also relished the movie trailer title Ji Shao had released that morning, which made his heart flutter.
When their previously scheduled alarms rang, they both departed. Zhou Xiao, backpack on, boarded a flight to Fujian Province. The pomeloes in his hometown were ripe, and it was time to return to film a promotional video.
