Chapter 206
Positive face value attack!
When Ji Shao's face flashed across the live broadcast room, the comment section of the live broadcast room was already filled with howling.
This is the warm, fresh Ji Shao! And thinking about how hard it would be to see him after today, the audience watched the live studio return to pitch black, only to choke in silence, silently shed tears, and strongly condemn him!
Ji Shao was trapped in the crowd, tightly guarded by two security guards. The traffic was so congested that he could barely move. Trapped in the middle, Ji Shao looked pitiful, clutching his suitcase tightly. Despite being a winter day, a thin layer of sweat already covered Ji Shao's forehead.
Seeing this scene, Cheese felt a little uncomfortable. Well, mainly because she herself was also feeling uncomfortable from being squeezed...
When she heard the security guard and Ji Shao asking everyone to slow down, as the offline person in charge of the fan club, and surrounded by fans who often played together offline, she began to organize herself.
So, inside the hotel, Zhou Xiao, in the pitch-black, clothes-rubbing livestream room, heard Cheese's somewhat distorted offline call, "Build a wall! Build a wall! Let Ji...NINE STAR go in first!"
At the scene, besides the passersby who were joining in the fun, when they saw a large human wall forming in front of them, the fans who were already feeling a little regretful at first also shook hands with the hands of strangers around them, who were even fans of the opposing team just a second ago.
The human wall was pulled back, giving the NINE STAR members, trapped in the crowd, a chance to breathe. With the help of fans, security guards on the side roughly and quickly shoved the members toward the security checkpoint.
NINE STAR's long-awaited reunion has generated a staggering amount of excitement. Unbeknownst to them, their offline fan base has become so strong it's surpassing even the fan bases of some individual members.
In the crowd, seeing the members queuing for security, two or three loud voices shouted in unison, "Mommy's Jiubao, the most important thing is to have fun while filming a group variety show abroad!"
Over here, Cheese, who was leading the human wall, rolled his eyes in disdain. These group fans were masters of finding holes offline, squeezing through any crack.
With their interruption, for reasons of order, the remaining nine fans couldn't compete with each other to see who was louder, like they were singing folk songs. Didn't you see that the members all turned around and made the "silence" gesture because of that shout?
After thinking for a while, seeing that the offline scene had stabilized, Cheese loosened his grip, took his phone out of his pocket, and gave his co-hosts in the live broadcast room a final treat, "Come on, everyone, take one last look!"
Zhou Xiao in front of the screen... Tsk, it seems like this guy has let himself go today.
The comment section was obviously shocked by this statement -
[It’s so frustrating! Streamers, please be careful offline in the future!]
[This… is this the pain of living under someone else's roof? Next time, please don't say things so dishearteningly. TAT]
[Where is the number one rich woman? Come and punish her immediately!]
[Teacher, harsh words hurt people, do you understand? If I cover the screen now, it won’t be the last time I see it.]
Honey, don't shake your hands.
【……】
Cheese, who was present at the event, had no idea what was happening online, but after seeing Zhou Xiao's gift-giving efforts push his livestream to the top of the city's popularity charts, even she, even if she was slow to react, should have realized something was wrong. However, she didn't really pay much attention to the content of the livestream. As for why her hands were shaking...
Ji Shao, who was waiting in line for security, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that order had been restored. As he relaxed and looked around to greet his fans, he spotted Cheese, holding up his phone and talking to the screen.
He smiled slightly, then leaned closer and chuckled, "Is it you?"
When Cheese saw Ji Shao approaching, his mind went blank. He couldn't hear what the other person said at all. As if he had been bewitched, he placed the live-streaming phone in Ji Shao's palm in a daze.
The camera touched Ji Shao's palm and suddenly went dark. Not long after, a voice as clear as a spring rang out, "Oh, that's it!" Then, the "pocket" anchor in the live broadcast room was officially replaced by Ji Shao.
"Good morning, everyone!" Someone's voice suddenly became hoarse, and then suddenly froze. The audience saw Ji Shao in the live broadcast room begin to look puzzled, and then saw him grin tentatively.
After a pause, Ji Shao's voice, which was originally brisk, began to become hesitant, "Hmm... Is my face really that pointy?"
[Quack, quack, quack]
[God damn it, I almost laughed out loud while slacking off in a meeting]
[I almost fainted from laughing. Brother Shao, what were you fiddling with just now!!!]
[Beauty filter, please leave! Beauty filter, please leave!]
[The UFO Association can come and investigate hahahahaha]
【……】
Zhou Xiao, standing in front of the screen, was practically choking with laughter, especially with Qi Sisi, who was also laughing so hard she was breathless. They both tried their best to control themselves, but the sudden eye contact made it all over, and their initial patience was instantly shattered.
But it was this incident that somewhat alleviated everyone's concerns about Ji Shao's overseas filming. NINE STAR's large-scale group variety show is no small event. Just looking at the group of photographers filming nearby, it is clear that this trip is filmed according to the format of a variety show for everyone.
Ji Shao's "car crash" also made many fans feel a sense of reality. Ji Shao, who has always been a perfect person in public, is actually a bit clumsy in private. It broke the perfect image, but it actually gained more love.
After Ji Shaotong and the other members entered the VIP lounge, Cheese finally closed the hot live broadcast room. But when she saw the gifts in the background, even though she was mentally prepared, she was still shocked.
Converting the gifts into money, it would be tens, hundreds, and millions... By the end, she was a little hesitant to continue calculating. And this was the money she received after sharing the profits with the platform. This live broadcast also increased her fan base to hundreds of thousands, and most of them were fond of Ji Shao.
After following her, many people also liked the Ji Shao-related videos on her homepage. This booming traffic was incredibly hot, and Cheese felt like her hands were on the line. She knew Douyin was gaining followers quickly, but she hadn't expected it to be so strong. And it all started with that phone call from Xindong.
Cheese wasn't the only one paying attention to this livestream. Because he had taken advantage of the opportunity, Cheese's livestream had the highest fan traffic of all NINE STAR channels and was the top livestream on the Shanghai Stock Exchange today.
Before everyone could envy it, some marketing accounts had already taken advantage of it——
@瓜田吃个瓜V: Fans are making money by live-streaming and giving away gifts. The gifts kept coming in half an hour! If you don’t understand, just ask, how much are these worth!

[I can see that you are really envious... [laughing and crying]]
[Just asking, how much money does a blogger make from publishing a press release?]
[It’s okay, my fans have money, so they can spend it if they want.]
Those who watched the whole thing said, "Great job! Otherwise, all the money and attention would have gone to those studios that provoked the conflict. That would be like throwing meat buns at a dog."
[Hiss, I feel like your tone is a bit sour today]
【……】
Marketing accounts on the front page were all paying attention to the gift. Even Ning Jiayue and Ren Heqi, two influencers (KOLs) close to Zhou Xiao, were curious about how much she spent. Within the fan community, it was generally accepted that the popular website "Pangran Xindong" and the up-and-coming photographer Zhou Xiao were the same person. Some even posted articles specifically to educate newbies on the subject.
Zhou Xiao didn't pay much attention at first, but after being confronted by many people, both overtly and covertly, she finally checked her account. But strangely, she discovered a Douyin coin balance in her account. After carefully examining the details, Zhou Xiao scratched her head, clearly realizing something.
Douyin and Weibo have similar mechanisms, both offering creative incentives. As the two platforms compete for market share, these incentives have been increasing repeatedly this year. Zhou Xiao, relying on the popularity of his previous videos, had already reaped this funding without realizing it.
When purchasing items, the system prioritizes the remaining balance in the account. This creates a sense of circularity. Zhou Xiao looked at the balance in her account. Yes, even after giving so much, she still had over a dozen yuan left. Just then, Cheese called.
"Hello? Xindong, it's me~ Send me your card number and I'll transfer the money to you." Cheese found an empty corner offline, squatted on the ground and continued, "I looked at the rankings, and you gave too many gifts! A lot of handling fees will be deducted!" She should save when she should and spend when she should. Although she is not short of money, she saw that the platform's commission is really fierce.
To Zhou Xiao, this money was essentially free money, and she hadn't expected Cheese to return it. Sensing that Cheese had no intention of accepting a share of the gift, Zhou Xiao thought for a moment and said, "You don't have to give me the money. Give it to Shu Jiejie for charity!"
The sanitary napkin charity that Zhou Xiao initially worked on with the system has become a symbol in Ji Shao's fan circle. Especially with the support of New Town, Ji Shao's charity station has continued to pay attention to this charity project and help more women.
"Okay!" Sure enough, after hearing this reply, Cheese on the other end of the phone agreed without hesitation. Compared to pushing each other back and forth, using the money for this is undoubtedly the best choice.
…
Even though NINE STAR's popularity had spread to the other side of the world, everyone was still experiencing the same enthusiasm as before boarding the plane. Of course, this enthusiasm seemed a little smaller.
The production crew, holding cameras, swiftly panned toward the exit. The railings were now filled with fans. These fans, representing a wide range of nationalities, all held signs welcoming the members to the Flower City. A large portion of them held photos, banners, and light signs depicting the same person: Ji Shao.
When Ji Shao took his first steps, pushing his luggage, the enthusiastic cheers from the crowd made the VJ filming nearby feel like they were still in China. The camera panned to reveal Ji Shao's personal editing stage on the airport's giant screen.
Ah, it's @FlippedPangranxindong·Ji Shao's support! The photographer filming Ji Shao thought so when he saw the support account displayed at the end. To them, Zhou Xiao was half a colleague, so naturally he knew that she was Ji Shao's fangirl.
But...wait! The camera swept across the foreign faces in front, and the photographer carrying the camera was a little stunned. Aren’t we going abroad?
He had a lot of people who shared the same idea, besides those holding NINE STAR members' support signs. Inside Huadu Kent Airport, the almost overwhelming support made everyone lose their minds at the moment.
