Chapter 237
When the cheers stopped, it was as if the world had fallen silent. Fans who had whispered to each other in the crowd just a moment before now seemed to realize it was time to say goodbye.
"Beep!" A resounding trumpet blast broke the atmosphere. It was Cheese. She put the trumpet to her lips and continued, "Hey, hey, hey, everyone, stop being so melancholic! It's time to go online and control the comments!"
Some fans, already saddened by the prospect of parting ways with their friends, choked at these words and looked over. The loud speaker was turned on again, but Cheese didn't look at them. Instead, he spoke to himself, "Links are in Lin'an's N1 and N2 groups."
Although they felt their manager was somewhat heartless, not offering any encouraging closing remarks but instead making arrangements before departure, fans attending the event for the first time could only internally resent the fact that everyone else in the venue was silently giving thumbs-up.
The fan initially didn't join the group, instead following the homepage. But then she suddenly glanced at the screen of a friend she'd just met offline, and the like count skyrocketed. She didn't care anymore and quickly asked, "Hey, I'm not in this group. Can you add me?"
Before I knew it, the originally somewhat sad event had ended. Everyone was already distracted by the matters at hand, so how could there be any sadness at parting? Instead, watching the links in the group being "taken down" one by one and the like counts rising, I felt an incomparable sense of relief.
…
The number of fans who showed up for this offline concert far exceeded everyone's expectations. When the digital organizers submitted the group ticket list, they specifically urged them not to be too arrogant just to save face. Since when, the phrase "do what you can" has become a common phrase on the organizer's lips.
After confirming that all the seats were reserved by fans, the contact person then reported it to the fan club. The more fans who attend the concert offline, the bigger the support will be. This is also why Cheese received help and directly asked offline fans to help control the comments. It's worth noting that many of the fans who attended the concert offline were also active online fans.
Normally, any video related to Ji Shao would attract a lot of attention from KOLs, which would be a good thing for fans of other artists, but at this moment it makes fans who have been collecting data online tired.
Especially since Ji Shao also had two performances on CCTV tonight. Although the ratings for May Day were low, that was only for CCTV itself. His righteous performances attracted many newcomers to the super topic as soon as they appeared.
At home, Qi Sisi refreshed the homepage, having learned to ignore the blog posts with pending data. When she learned that Zhu Jian would send a set of colored ribbons along with the cheering sticks, she no longer regretted not going to see them.
The screen, scrolling up and down, happened to land on her friend Zhou Xiao's page. Qi Sisi paused and savored the stage again. Without even a hint of fan filter, her sister's videos were the most captivating in terms of both overall quality and comfort!
The comment section under the blog post "Ping Ran Xin Dong" was extremely lively. As soon as I clicked on the hot search, I saw this station in the hot search. At this time, I was full of curiosity about Ji Shao, but I didn't know that the station I followed casually was recognized as a god station in the fan circle.
It's no secret that CCTV and other programs don't have much overlap in audience. Rather than burying her head in data crunching, Qi Sisi was more interested in clicking through the reverse chronological list to see new faces praising Ji Shao. When she saw one comment, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
——"Is this site not even incorporated yet? The quality is far beyond the official photography!"
The comments section is full of agreement and support, which is refreshing to read.
The group called on all members who were controlling the comments to tag Gangqi. Although she didn't want to collect data, Qi Sisi still dutifully clicked on it and prepared to like it. At that moment, she saw the number of likes on the comment was about to take off. In the blink of an eye, it had almost 3,000 likes, and the number of likes was still rising rapidly.
Huh? Did they buy likes? Qi Sisi wondered, but such a small number of likes was nothing to Tiaosi.
…
Offline, following Cheese holding the loudspeaker and the manager who tagged all members in the group, the fans present quickly carried out the current tasks.
After an unknown amount of time, the shrill horn blared again. Everyone in the crowd looked up and realized the light show across the street had ended.
"Thank you all for your hard work online and offline these past two days. It's too late. Those who need a taxi should take a taxi! If you can't get a taxi, come to our support venue and wait for me to arrange it!" He made full use of the loudspeaker in his hand. After finishing the first words, Cheese began to urge the fans to leave in an orderly manner.
After discussing it, everyone decided not to wait for the members to get off work. Perhaps it was because they were waiting that it was difficult for them to get on the bus home. Also, at this hour, even though everyone seemed to be in good spirits, offline support was extremely exhausting.
He explained to everyone the precautions to take after the concert, especially regarding protecting the voice. He also used himself as an example, patiently emphasizing the importance of this.
She used to think she was gifted and her throat was fine after shouting. But one time, she accidentally drank half a bottle of Coke, and when she woke up the next day, she found that she had lost her voice.
Watching the fans leave, Cheese placed his hand on Qimiao's shoulder. The two exchanged glances, then, in tacit understanding and practiced, began packing up.
…
"Ding!" Zhou Xiao, who had been resting in the back seat of a taxi with his eyes closed, woke up almost immediately after hearing the notification tone. He opened his phone, still wondering who would send him a text message at this time, when he saw the message pop up. It was from the manager of Shuiyun Financial City.
"Hello, Ms. Zhou, our company has packaged the video captured by the drone and sent it to your email address! Please receive it in time and look forward to our next cooperation!"
Zhou Xiao opened the app, accepted the link, and saved the video. This was a "luxury experience" given by the light show. The video was short, but perhaps because of its high definition, the data was also extremely large.
Zhou Xiao was studying the downloaded video here, and the fan club account over there had already released a rough cut of the offline support video.
Though a bit crude, the video's authentic, half-walled purple hue truly captivated fans who had only seen snippets of the cheering. Especially that long shot, from the lit light sticks to the blazing purple sea, it's perfectly possible to describe this as a solo concert.
——【Forum】——[Morning of May 2nd]
[Topic] Is there any expert who can tell me whether Ji Shaojia’s support video is real or not?
[Main Post] Did you guys watch the offline support video posted by Ji Shao's fan club? Were there really that many people there? Did they use a purple filter to adjust the color?

His family accounted for half of the people offline this time. To be honest, this video is quite realistic, and it is even more spectacular when seen offline! And they also used a drone, which shows that they are really well-off...

I took a look and I think their editing is pretty good. And if there are any support posts that are not made by themselves, they will use eye-catching fonts to mark them in the upper left corner. If it were someone else, I guess all the scumbags would come out and post some weird things.

I went to see the next season of the Shao family offline return pictures. I felt that the atmosphere was really good. It made me want to go to the concert too!
97L
I heard online that there were two members standing on the second floor of the stadium, watching the scene. I don't know if it's true or not. If other people were with Ji Shao, wouldn't they be very disappointed?

The above ones are not confirmed. After all, if it was a staff member, it is possible. I don’t think even those offline can be so sure.

Reply to 97L: Oh my goodness, come and give me a shovel, is it really Ji Shao?!

It was two in the morning, the perfect time for fans to feel melancholy after returning home. The replays from the concert were so rich they could be used as research material for a dissertation. While absorbing the offline experience and surfing the internet, Tiaosi refreshed her homepage when she suddenly saw a blog post that took everyone by surprise.
——A certain blog——
@NINE STAR-纪韶V: Are you all home safe now? I saw your support [heart] Thank you everyone, see you next time [bye]
[Picture][Picture][Picture][Picture]
The first three photos are of offline support, with a light show, a purple sea and a large screen, and the last one is a selfie that is so handsome
[Ahhhh Shaozi, why are you still awake so late!]
[Oh my god! This angle in pictures 1 and 2!!! Only the second floor of the stadium can capture this shot! Were you standing there watching us cheering for you? TAT]
[Baby, you really make me cry! How can you be so good! And you even come online in the early morning to support me. Waaaaaaah.]
[Responding to fans' love openly and honestly, Ji Shao, you deserve to be famous!]
[Help! The clock next to the big screen says 1:41 AM. Did Xiao Shao just get off work? Hurry and get some rest!]
【……】
Inside the room, Zhou Xiao saved the edited image and then reached for her phone, which was constantly ringing on the table. Although it was past two in the morning, fans who had just finished their concert were still particularly energetic. Otherwise, the group chat history wouldn't have soared to over 999.
Clicking into the group chat, he saw Li Mo confirming that the figure at the stadium was Ji Shao. Zhou Xiao followed the chat log and saw Ji Shao's blog post. It turned out that based on the first two photos, some astute fans had already guessed it based on the angle.
Although many fans believe this is the truth, because it is unsubstantiated speculation, it has been mocked by several marketing accounts that often take advantage of negative press releases. The implicit meaning of their words is to mock the fans for being self-indulgent.
Zhou Xiao finally realized why he was being constantly tagged in the group chat. He immediately opened the folder, found the photo, adjusted the color, and sent it out.
There's a clock in the lower left corner of the photo, which coincides with the time when fans saw the figure on the second floor. Needless to say, this photo was a killer.
"Xiaoxiao, can this photo be spread to the big fans?" Zhu Jian felt relieved after knowing from Li Mo that Zhou Xiao had taken the photo. After saying something to Zhou Xiao, he proudly sent the photo to the big fans group.
What goes viral the fastest in fan circles? It has to be the seemingly secretive fan posts and friend circles! Sure enough, with the influence of a big fan, this photo has spread beyond just the fan community; the forums have already spread it everywhere.
