Chapter 207
Zhang Dong is a Chinese student studying in Huadu Country. "Star Path 101" became a huge hit among her overseas Chinese community right after its premiere. She's also been enjoying herself and gradually developed a crush on Ji Shao. After seeing on Xiaohongshu that Ji Shao and his group were coming to Huadu Country, she immediately contacted Ji Shao's Huadu Country fan club.
The fan club welcomed her joining very much. On the day Ji Shao arrived, when Zhang Dong arrived at the agreed location in advance, she found that many fans were already gathered together chatting.
The president of the Huadu Country fan club was a tall, beautiful woman. Zhang Dong felt a surge of excitement when she handed him the banner, but when his eyes shifted to Ji Shao, he froze. Any Ji Shao fan would undoubtedly have saved a photo taken by a fangirl.
Zhang Dong's hesitation stemmed from the copyright issue. She wasn't some kind of moral guardian, but in this situation, she wasn't sure if the other party was being unintentional. The photos used by casual fans for offline support are usually official images of the artists, so as long as they weren't overly commercialized, there wouldn't be a major problem.
As I was pondering this, I heard someone ask directly, "Hey, sister, have you obtained authorization for these photos?"
Anthea, who was busy distributing banners, looked up in surprise and responded, "Of course! Flipped is very generous!" When she said this, Zhang Dong could see a glimmer of pride in her eyes, and she even stopped distributing the banners.
Anthea even started talking about how she connected with the fan club in China, and the fans nearby, who had been eagerly waiting for their banners, now let out choruses of envy. At this moment, there was no nationality distinction; there was only envy that she could communicate with such a strong fan club.
"Dear friends, don't cheer so quickly!" Anthea said with a mysterious and irrepressible look of joy. "Otherwise, I'm worried your throats won't stop clenching!"
Fans present, including Zhang Dong, thought Anthea was referring to their reactions to seeing Ji Shao, and the entire crowd burst into laughter. As they entered the airport carrying banners, light boards, and hand signs, they were met with Ji Shao everywhere, feeling as if they had entered a dreamland.
Even some fans who had seen the photo exhibition held by "Pang Ran Xin Dong" online had a misconception: Is this an airport photo exhibition? Looking at Ji Shao on the electronic screen, and then looking at the original advertisements, now all replaced with familiar people!
While other fans followed suit and exclaimed in envy, Zhang Dong, surrounded by his fellow fans, felt overwhelmed! So handsome and impressive! Although celebrities talk about breaking into the Flower City every day, when has there ever been such a grand show?
Even some entertainment reporters from Huadu Country couldn't help but arrange for photographers to roll out cameras to capture the airport cheers. Kent Airport might even be temporarily renamed Jishao Airport today, as all it could see were the handsome faces of Chinese youth.
——【Entertainment Forum】——[March 2nd evening]
【Topic】Oh my god... I'm so excited!
[Main Post] After spending a fortune to beat up the airport paparazzi, my sister generously booked Kent Airport to support Ji Shao! For a moment, I don’t know whether to envy Ji Shao’s fans or Ji Shao [laughing and crying]

Ben Liuzi's circle of friends was flooded with Zhou Jie's support [covering face]. But looking at the scale of the offline event, I really didn't expect Ji Shao to be so popular even after going abroad. It seems that this was such a large-scale fan support at Kent Airport?

Ji Shao looks so young and handsome without makeup at the airport. The fans who picked him up at the airport must have made a fortune this time. I can't even imagine how cool it would be if I could meet someone I love and become my own fan. SOS

I'm worried that Teacher Zhou Xiao won't look down on me, so I can only go far away and become a fan of Sister Zhou's career. Sister, enough of the worldly affairs, come back and take pictures!
…
The popularity of NINE STAR in Huadu Country far exceeded many predictions. When seeing the collected headlines of major news, even director Ye Xiaolei, who was full of confidence before coming and planned to create a hit group variety show, couldn't help but sigh.
Ye Xiaolei has created many hits, and while his previous guests have been highly talked about, they haven't generated the same level of buzz as NINE STAR. This isn't really a trip abroad; it's like flying from Shanghai to Zhejiang Province. Besides the more diverse faces at the airport, even the airport was filled with Ji Shao's supporters.
Of course, besides feeling emotional, the most important thing right now is jet lag. You know, March 3rd is the destination of their trip - Huadu Fashion Week.
As the premier of the four major international fashion weeks, participating brands are highly regarded. Since they were already here, they didn't care how their management companies managed to squeeze everyone into Fashion Week. Before everyone even started to rest, Ye Xiaolei reiterated the VJ assignments for this Fashion Week.
Among them, the one who needed to be taken seriously was Ji Shao, who had come at the invitation of WP. Ye Xiaolei had also heard that Dai Linfei from Xincheng would also be making an appearance, so it would be a good idea to capitalize on the popularity of a major star and perhaps even create some hype about a wealthy sibling in the entertainment industry.
Don't mention it, ever since #richsisters# was hyped up by Ji Shao and Chen Si, and people in the industry realized the benefits of this, it has become a regular trending topic on every red carpet search. Of course, this is mainly because the audience loves it!
…
Zhou Xiao was the first to discover he was on Shiqun before anyone else, thanks to a sudden surge in his recognition score in the backend system. Unexpectedly, this airport support also earned him unexpected recognition from fans from all over the world.
After briefly browsing the videos shared by fans on the super topic, Zhou Xiao finally returned his gaze to his computer screen. After receiving recognition from Shang Ken magazine, he'd been flooded with offers. Some studios were vying for compensation, while others were seeking compensation.
But Zhou Xiao's gaze did not linger there. In the end, she chose a set of new Chinese style from a series of photo shoot invitations. The person who invited this set of new Chinese style was Chen Si, with whom she had worked before.
This shoot was different, however; Chen Si had a new partner. Zhou Xiao clicked on the name sent by Chen Si's agent. Li Zhouye? He seemed to have seen online that a costume drama starring him and Chen Si was about to be released. Perhaps this was preparation for the upcoming material?
After searching online for leaks about the drama, Zhou Xiao began to think about how to film it. While it was described as a New Chinese style, it was actually a spin-off for the show. After some thought, she began to privately message Chen Si, asking what kind of feeling he was looking for.
…
Ji Shao's fashion week started when he got off the plane, but he had a very good personality. When he heard the makeup artist chattering and accusing the VJ of being in the way, he took the initiative to ask if they could go to a wider place to do their makeup.
The hotel wasn't small, but it was packed. The members huddled in groups of three or four in a dressing room, accompanied by three photographers carrying heavy equipment. Fortunately, the show was in the afternoon, and the makeup artist, reassured by Ji Shaoyi, calmed down for a moment and quickly began applying makeup to the members.
"Brother, these clothes are so beautiful!" One of the styling team couldn't help but sigh, looking at the handsome clothes wrapped in plastic bags in the corner. WP had sent them this morning so that Ji Shao could choose from them during the show.
"Luxury brand, off-season ready-to-wear? What do you think?" The man who spoke pushed his glasses up, not telling the newcomer next to him that WP had originally wanted to take Ji Shao to their hotel! But Ji Shao declined, considering he had to film a group variety show. Later, the boss said that the director looked heartbroken when he learned about this.
Upon entering the venue, Ji Shao's stylist and VJ could only escort him to the entrance of the WP show. As soon as he got out of the car, the reporters from Huadu Kingdom pounced on him like hungry wolves. Even the burly man carrying the photographer couldn't help but shudder. "This foreign reporter is tall and strong, and looks quite intimidating."
The skinny stylist was silent for a moment, and he kindly swallowed the words he wanted to complain about. After all, they still had to spend almost a month together... Then, he turned his gaze to Ji Shao who was surrounded. Seeing this, he actually let out a surprised sound.
Ji Shao was in the crowd, chatting with a middle-aged man. The reporters who had been crowding around him now quietly made way for him. Only at the middle-aged man's signal did the shutter clicks begin again.
"Alas, what a pity I didn't meet Dai Linfei," the photographer said as he watched Ji Shao disappear from his sight, "otherwise we would have had some great footage!"
Dai Linfei, the actress the production team had been eyeing, did become a featured item, but not on the runway. Instead, she was edited together with the preview show on WP's official website. This material was the commercial Zhou Xiao had filmed for Dai Linfei, who was wearing the runway outfit.
This behavior has not only caught the attention of domestic media*, but also the media in Huadu, China, who are reporting that Dai Linfei is WP's fashion darling. The high expectations for this unreleased runway model have not only attracted the attention of the designer, but also the photographer who shot the campaign, who has also attracted the attention of international media.
Recently, someone dug up something Simone, the editor-in-chief of the parent magazine of Shang Ken, said about Zhou Xiao during the 20th anniversary celebration of the Chinese edition. This immediately made photographers, who had previously dismissed Zhou Xiao as just lucky, wary.
Zhou Xiao, far away in China, was actively preparing for the upcoming filming. After learning from Chen Si that this set of photos was equivalent to a modern-day extra episode of the series, she even started reading the original novel.
When Dai Linfei's agent sent him a video and a GIF of a clapping man, Zhou Xiao realized that the advertisement he shot for her was once again trending on domestic short video platforms.
Some internet celebrities have already started copying the video's rhythm and creating videos with the same scenes. When Zhou Xiao replied to Lu An with a smiley emoji, he received a message from Ster asking for advice.
