Chapter 234
The burly staff pushed the float forward on the rails, sending waves of heat surging wherever it passed. The fans in the middle and back rows, meeting Ji Shao on the float, didn't notice a slight tremor in their shouts as they stared at him.
Zhou Xiao's camera pierced the distance, capturing Ji Shao on the float. This time, he was wearing a white T-shirt and aqua blue overalls, buttoned on only one side, leaving the other side hanging naturally. Adding lavender headphones, draped over his collarbone and cascading down to his chest, his overall look was casual and lively.
Ji Shao, holding the microphone, stared straight ahead. Even when he wasn't performing, he would sway to the music and interact with the fans in the audience. Every second he spent on the float was spent actively fanning the crowd, and the effect was evident in the roaring cheers from the crowd.
"Holy crap! This float is truly a masterpiece!" the girl next to Zhou Xiao couldn't help but exclaim. Especially when Ji Shao started to interact with the group, leaning over the crossbars. His fingertips skimmed over the outstretched hands below like a dragonfly skimming the water, his eyes filled with laughter.
After the float had traveled some distance, Ji Shao, who was on the float, suddenly bent down. Because he was surrounded by a horizontal barrier, only the fans in the back and front rows could see him. His furry head began to shake with the swaying of the float.
"Ah!" a scream echoed. Ji Shao, looking up, had thrown a disc into the crowd. The disc was carefully wrapped in a small circle of plastic foam, and the screamer, caught it by accident while dazed. When the fan saw Ji Shao's signature on the disc, they couldn't help but roar.
Perhaps because the entire half was filled with purple light signs, the other members hadn't made any moves except for the occasional throw. This made Ji Shao the busiest person in the entire match, bar none.
The signed support items are not just discs, but also packaged towels and T-shirts that match the members' clothes. They all look light and will not hurt anyone.
As the floats approached, the waiting fans were already excited. Having seen the effective method of connecting with the surroundings before, many had already rehearsed it in their minds.
Taking in the atmosphere of the venue, Zhou Xiao watched Ji Shao through the camera and could feel his brilliance grow even more pronounced. Surrounded by love, he shone even more brightly.
"Don't stick your head out!" The staff pushing the float immediately "beat" the fan who leaned out from the front row back to his seat. They only needed one sentence to stop the fan along the way - "If you don't obey the rules, we will push faster!"
In fact, at that moment, there were already four staff members standing in front of Zhou Xiao, waiting to exchange carts. The float stopped when it was pushed 1/4 of the way. In the moment of pause, Zhou Xiao raised his camera and met Ji Shao, who was looking down.
"Are you recording?" Ji Shao asked, placing the microphone to his lips. His smile was particularly bright, his narrowed eyes particularly sweet. Zhou Xiao nodded, and the next second, the people nearby saw Ji Shao lying on the crossbar. Amidst the screams, he made a half-heart gesture to the camera in front of him.

[Topic] Oh my god, I think Ji Shao is the ancient Greek god who controls food!
[Main Post] After watching the videos uploaded offline to the super topic, I was really impressed. The fans are eating so well! Blowing kisses, making half-hearted gestures, as long as they hear it, they will do it obediently!

It's really amazing. I even saw a guy on the offline chat who came all the way from Neon and was desperately shouting "I love you" in Neon! Then Ji Shao heard it, picked up the microphone and replied in Neon "I love you"!

Reply to 1L: Could it be Chu Cheng and Xiang Rui who taught him? 23333 It seems like the members have a really good relationship. By the way, will they hold a concert in Neon in the future? After all, there are two people in the group who speak Neon, and NINE STAR is super popular in Neon!

Ji Shao is really awesome. He not only spreads fans to his own fans, but also actively promotes the floats in front of other members' fans. He is really dedicated [smoking]

My sister Lin Nan, who works offline, just sent me voice messages like crazy. When I heard it, it was all incoherent praise for Ji Shao. I was still puzzled, but after reading what the above said, I immediately understood...

Last time, I was so excited because Ji Shao's fans threw me a party. Then I saw him pointing at me and laughing at Chu Cheng. It felt like I was being laughed at, but who knew that moment was so perfect. Ah, I really hate that I don't have time to go to the concert this time.
…
The concert float continued. Zhou Xiao fixed her camera back on the tripod and looked up at the big screen. The float had just arrived directly across from her. The other members, who had been a little sullen in front of the purple sea, now became full of energy.
And Ji Shao? He seemed completely unfazed, actively engaging even with the other colored light signs. His attitude infected more than just his own fans; soon, many of his teammates' fans were also interacting with Ji Shao offline.
Suddenly, Zhou Xiao saw a flash of surprise in Ji Shao's eyes on the big screen. The director on the scene was very kind. Just as Zhou Xiao was wondering what was happening on the other side, a very small purple light appeared on the big screen.
On the top of the mountain, a masked woman waved a small purple sign vigorously. The purple was almost swallowed by the yellow. The director was able to find it accurately and quickly because her momentum was even greater than that of Yan Shufen, who was holding a meter-long sign next to her.
"Oh my god!" Inside the venue, Zhu Jian stared at the big screen in amazement.
Her action caused Zhou Xiao and Li Mo to exchange glances. They both had the same thought: Could the girl holding the small light sign be the president of their fan club? Zhou Xiao looked at the big screen and quickly spotted the tripod in front of the girl within the area illuminated by the light sign.
At first, she and Li Mo speculated that Sister Shuo would join the group fans in voting. That way, even if she wanted to shout Ji Shao's name, it wouldn't feel out of place. But she joined Yan Shujia, who ranked third in the group, and even grabbed a spot at the top of the mountain. And even surrounded by fans from other groups, she still worked so hard! She is truly a role model for our generation!
That touch of purple also inspired Ji Shao's fans, who occupied half of the venue, to come to support him. They were originally gulping down mineral water to protect their parched throats, but now they no longer cared. Without any prior communication, everyone tacitly followed the others, turned on the light board, and shouted Ji Shao's name together.
The non-stop chanting of "Ji Shao" also sparked responses from fans of the other eight groups. As for the group's fans, they clearly didn't participate in the melee.
Even though the home court had been moved, it still had this kind of impact. The director on the big screen was surprised and quickly switched gears, switching the camera back to Ji Shao, asking him, the source, to stop this sudden battle.
When the screen cut to Ji Shao raising his hands and pressing them down, the already delighted Tiao Si fell silent and turned off the lights. When the purple sea of lights dimmed, it seemed, perhaps by some illusion, that the entire venue's brightness had dimmed.
After the floats, it was time for the actual solo stages of each NINE STAR member. Each member would perform a brand new stage, with some performing standing poses, some performing passionate dances, and some combining both.
Here, Ji Shao, after changing his clothes and emerging from the stage, looked exceptionally dignified. "Today is May Day. I wonder if you all still remember my performance?" Ji Shao, dressed in a pilot-like uniform, gleaming metal buttons on the shoulders, chest, and cuffs. The black uniform accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist. Despite his question, the fans in the audience responded with excited "Aaaaaahs."
Ji Shao looked at the "replies" from the audience and smiled. He put away the microphone, cleared his throat, and said seriously, "A new song for all the fans here. Thank you for your support. Let's get started."
…
Meanwhile, Qi Sisi, sitting in front of the TV, was multitasking. The television in the living room was playing CCTV's May Day special program, with a veteran singer singing the main theme song with deep emotion.
Qi Sisi's phone was clutched in her hand, constantly switching between multiple apps. Fans had been uploading live concert videos in the super chat, but their speed was far inferior to the messages from Zhu Jian in the small group.
Not only that, Ji Shao, who was one of the opening performers on CCTV, has already appeared in the blogs of major marketing accounts and KOLs. It's almost to the point where a new post appears every time you refresh the page.
The popularity of the blog has left online fans with no time to properly watch the concert videos, instead focusing on frantic data crunching. However, everyone is incredibly excited, feeling both proud and satisfied, though their fingers are a bit tired. Not being able to watch the live videos also reduces the acidity in the air.
Before she knew it, Ji Shao had already appeared on the TV. His platinum-embroidered suit made him look handsome and elegant. When the song started, Qi Sisi had already put down her phone and was watching TV intently.
"Spread your wings and fly to a new world, get a glimpse of the heaven and earth..." The youthful vigor and catchy melody attracted many audiences who wanted to play this song on repeat endlessly.
…
Ji Shao, center stage, gripped the microphone, his high notes incredibly smooth. Zhou Xiao, in the audience, listened attentively to the song. When Ji Shao mentioned the word "show," she was already thinking of his debut solo performance on CCTV tonight.
Unlike his performance on CCTV, Zhou Xiao felt Ji Shao was more relaxed on set. Lazy yet energetic, he didn't seem to be a contradiction in terms, but rather a unique quality.
When the last note fell, the whole audience fell silent for a moment, and then there was a thunderous roar. With the "encore" uttered by someone unknown, a unified voice gradually formed inside the venue.
The new song is truly amazing, and this was the first performance of "New World." Fans were thrilled to hear the new song. Zhou Xiao heard Zhu Jian clapping his hands, practically choking, and couldn't help but mutter, "This song is incredible! If we ever go on a regular stage like CCTV, we'll just sing it!" He's truly a role model for career fans.
Ji Shao's lips curled up on the stage, and he couldn't help but chuckle at the fans who loved this new song. "Next time, I'll sing it to you next time~ This is our agreement! Don't forget~"
