Chapter 251
"I'm so excited! Let's see how much yours is!" Yu Du, who was the first to open the red envelope, shook the hundred-yuan bill in her hand. The new banknote gleamed in the sunlight, a truly delightful sight.
Zhou Xiao raised an eyebrow at the amount. As far as she knew, for a TV crew, this red envelope was quite generous. Glancing around, she saw that, aside from their group, everyone else in the audience received different amounts.
At the opening ceremony, the crew gave each staff member a red envelope. As for the fans who showed up to support the show, it depended on the artists' awareness of this. However, even as Zhou Xiao observed, Ji Shao was the only one who approached the stage to hand out a red envelope.
He looked down at the red envelope in his hand. The front was emblazoned with the words "Unparalleled Generals" in gold foil. It was clearly a specially prepared cover by the production crew. Zhou Xiao figured he didn't even need to open this one; just looking at the other fans' gains would give him a good idea of the amount.
Before the opening ceremony even began, Zhou Xiao noticed that there were quite a few Ji Shao fans present. Presumably, the film studio's head was pleased with the cost of the support, as they had given out a significant number of set visitor passes; a rough count revealed around twenty people.
Don’t underestimate this number. Just look at the few fans of other artists, and you will know that this scale is already the treatment for real top stars.
Zhou Xiao shifted her gaze from the red envelopes to the backdrop on the stage. The number of red envelopes Ji Shao had received on stage was definitely not enough to distribute to the fans in the audience, and even then, everyone had something to give. This clearly indicated that the red envelopes they were holding were all from Ji Shao, so naturally, the amounts were all the same.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xiao's lips curled up, and he was particularly happy at the moment. Whether it was interacting with fans around the car when getting out, or giving everyone a share of the red envelopes for the start of the filming, Ji Shao did a great job. Artists who can put their fans first will have a bright future.
"Let's go back and unpack it. Maybe there'll be a surprise later!" Zhou Xiao looked at Yu Du with a hint of mystery. When she had previously told Ji Shao about the offline support, she had clearly seen Chen Shenju, standing next to her, giving her an OK sign.
Zhou Xiao believed that the other party would not randomly send out flares. In that case, he organized everyone to return to the support venue and wait for Ji Shao. Even if the other party did not come later, it would be convenient for Cheese and the others to record a start-up support video.
Some crews would immediately begin filming after the opening ceremony. Zhou Xiao wasn't sure if the crew of "The Unparalleled General" would do the same, but to avoid any trouble, he decided to take his colleagues away.
Little did they know that, logically speaking, it was time to start filming. However, Director Zheng Cheng remembered his earlier promise to the fans and with a wave of his hand, he led Ji Shao to the back door of the set and to the cheering flower wall.
…
The group of people who returned to the support area were immediately surrounded. Cheese in the crowd saw Zhou Xiao and shouted as if he had found his backbone, "Everyone, please don't disturb the fans! Give them a quiet environment to make pictures and videos! Today's start-up photos are very important to Xiao Shao!"
The fans who had been educated about the importance of science immediately quieted down, which made the people around them feel a little embarrassed. Everyone knew that this was a special treatment, so they generously took out the red envelopes and talked to the fans about Ji Shao's interaction at the start-up scene.
"Xiaoxiao, you know, let me touch it!" Li Mo said with shining eyes as he looked at the corner of the red envelope sticking out of Zhou Xiao's pocket.
Seeing her expression, Zhou Xiao handed his red envelope directly to Li Mo's cupped hands. He smiled and said, "Not only can you touch it, you can also open it and take a look. How about you guess what's inside?"
Zhu Jian, watching curiously, asked, "Is there really money in this red envelope? I heard that some crews stuff it with worthless lottery tickets as a way to spread good luck."
"Wow! That's a lot of money!" This voice came from the sidelines, and the fans who didn't attend the wrap-up scene were all scratching their heads. When they saw the amount, they were even more surprised than envious. If everyone got a hundred-yuan bill, then the "Unparalleled General" crew was truly extravagant.
"Hey, this is from Ji Shao. I took a few extra glances and saw some of the staff members' red envelopes were filled with green bills!" said the fan happily. And they were the only fans at the event who received a red envelope, making the fans nearby envious.
At this point, the man curled his lips. Ji Shao wasn't the only artist handing out red envelopes. However, those actors only gave them to the crew, essentially ignoring the fans in the audience. Thinking about it this way, it became clear whether or not they cared about their fans.
Li Mo had already opened the red envelope, and with a slight pressure of his fingers, he pinched it to create an arc. After showing the red bills inside to the other two people, he quickly closed it again and stuffed it back into Zhou Xiao's pocket.
"Wow, that's also one hundred! Remember to treat us three little sour guys to a meal later!" Dong Xiaoyu laughed as he looked at the amount.
When Cheese distributed visitor passes offline, he ensured everyone in the fan club received one, while everyone else just played rock-paper-scissors. When in doubt, this method was the easiest, and even as a fan club member, he didn't use his status to hide the pass.
All three of them lost in the mini-games, and while they envied the others for being able to attend the opening ceremony, they all accepted it. After all, the number of spots was limited, and many of those who got in were hardworking, offline, illegal workers, and everyone saw this.
Zhou Xiao laughed and joked at the three of them, "Okay, I'll treat you to dinner tonight. But there's a catch: I won't be responsible if the bill exceeds one hundred!"
As they were talking, Cheese on the other end of the line made a strange phone call, but no one answered. It was a bit strange, as they had agreed to do so before.
Qimiao had someone over there to watch Ji Shao arrive and leave work, while he was here to oversee the support at the scene to prevent anyone from stealing it. But now, the opening ceremony was over, and why hadn't he brought anyone back to film a support video?
…
A group of fans at the back door of the crew were almost stunned by this surprise. When they heard that the opening ceremony was over, Qimiao, who was offline, was about to direct everyone to walk towards the flower wall.
Suddenly someone in the crowd called out Ji Shao's name. Just when everyone thought it was a fan's howl before leaving, the sharp-eyed people saw Ji Shao standing by the gate, smiling at them.
It turned out that the director had remembered the promise he had made to his fans and personally took Ji Shao for a stroll through the back door. Behind the two of them were several assistants and a staff member carrying a camera.
Qimiao saw the two people standing by the door and immediately realized what was going on. He pulled his two friends aside and started talking a lot. When they understood, they followed Qimiao's instructions and said in unison, "Director Zheng, we have a flower wall! Come and see it!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the fans offline also reacted, and the venue was immediately filled with words like "Director Zheng" and "Flower Wall". Ji Shao, who was originally looking at them with a smile, now had a deeper dimple at the corner of his mouth.
Zheng Cheng watched the fans' reactions below, then looked up at the water-filled flags lining the road. He immediately made a decision and asked the photographer to follow Ji Shao to the flower wall.
It's the best to start the machine!

[Topic] Report! Ji Shao checked in for offline support!
[Main Post] I heard that Ji Shao's opening ceremony support was the most lavish at the studio, which was quite a bit of a splurge. What will happen if he starts filming his second series?
But after watching the Reuters, I feel that both his raw photos and Reuters are quite good. If the director can give full play to his Reuters performance, even if it is a bad drama, I can close my eyes and follow it for the handsome men in ancient costumes! Please don't let me down.

[笑飞.jpg] Does anyone understand why, when Ji Shao, dressed in ancient costume, bowed and thanked his fans in the video, I had a vision of a fat boy! Those who don't understand animal sculptures are in trouble!

Honestly, I was shocked the moment I saw the flower wall. Is this still the KT-panel flower wall that the thrifty leader of our film and television city built? Has this finally stopped cutting corners? Or has the local boss changed hands and is now offering a grand opening sale?

I was just about to yell at the guy standing next to Ji Shao, asking him to get off. Then I saw the comment was from Zheng Cheng, Smi Masai, sorry for interrupting me... Also, who spread the rumor that Zheng Cheng doesn't like traffic? Do you want to see this guy on stage grinning like he's worthless?

Holy crap, I heard Ji Shao gave 100r red envelopes to his offline fans!!! Can anyone tell me if this is true or not? ! Is he going to die giving out so much? Hurry and come to my location to film. I'm not after looks, I'm after money!

I think the purple flowers in the video are very beautiful. Does anyone know what kind they are? I want to grow them on the balcony.
…
At the support site, Zhou Xiao looked at the two people standing on the stage. He was a little curious, why did the director follow them?
Li Mo, who was standing next to him, was extremely satisfied. It was a great thing to have such a director who would not spoil the fun. After the excited explanation offline, everyone knew that Director Zheng was urged to come by his colleagues.
For fans, this was undoubtedly a truly joyous occasion. Besides giving Ji Shao a face, who wouldn't want to have him personally check in? Furthermore, the director's presence indicated his satisfaction with Ji Shao, directly dispelling the online rumors that he'd been displeased by the director due to him stealing the role.
Ji Shao on the stage carefully scanned the crowd, from the flower wall to the food truck, from the water-filled flags fluttering in the air to the ceramic flowers in front...
While he was stunned, the fans in the audience had almost gathered. Some of them had even taken taxis, but when they saw the news in the group that Ji Shao was coming to the offline meeting, they immediately turned back.
Zhou Xiao looked at Ji Shao on the stage. The camera caught the puzzlement on his face, and he couldn't help but smile. The fired ceramic flowers were not colored by specific species. At first glance, they looked like a series of purple flowers, but a closer look revealed a clue. They were lotus, jasmine, chrysanthemum, and other flowers coated in purple glaze, creating a sense of surprise.
Ji Shao also leaned down to take a look, then straightened up again after seeing clearly. Also looking down with him was Director Zheng Cheng.
The two seemed to have forgotten that this was an offline support check-in area and exchanged a few words on the stage. Then Zhou Xiao saw the director wave his hand, and the cameraman following him focused the camera on the ceramic flower.
