Chapter 305 Chapter 305
The Double 11 (Singles' Day) gala concluded, but fans who had been following the event couldn't contain their excitement. Especially when the youthful members sang the melody on stage, their affectionate eyes gazing out at the audience and the camera, they suddenly wished the moment could last forever.
Even after the show ended, some passersby were still lost in their thoughts on the final performance. This group, which debuted on a talent show, had first introduced them to the allure of a boy band. Becoming a fan of NINE STAR, or even a single member, based on a single performance was clearly not something they had planned.
Offline, Zhu Jian's emotions were similar to theirs, perhaps even more bewildered. Of course, this time, she wasn't falling for the show, but rather, she was falling in "love" once again. This all started when NINE STAR collectively took off their headgear on the red carpet.
Inside the 24-hour coffee shop, Zhu Jian sat alone, his hands resting on the table. He smiled with a rather silly expression, "Silly me! I felt something was wrong from the start..."
Zhu Jian, who boasts of his ruthless fandom, has gone from being a casual fan to a core member of the fan club. This is a testament to Ji Shao's ability to attract fans.
Not to mention that he has given fans plenty of confidence and star-chasing satisfaction both online and offline. Just how many of these fans claim to be apathetic and heartless fans of the March Show remains a mystery.
Zhou Xiao and Li Mo exchanged a glance, then shared a tacit smile. Throughout the cafe, which was practically completely packed with Ji Shao fans, there were many people like Zhu Jian, seemingly infected by a virus. Many were still refreshing Taobao's official Singles' Day Weibo account, awaiting the official support video.
Yes, an official support video. It's an interview with the members offline, dressed in their anime costumes, as they enter the fan zone. And it's a special treat for NINE STAR fans, specifically labeled "a big giveaway for fans" in the Huayao announcement.
Shortly after the party ended, the fan group received a notification from Huayao. Besides a subtle reminder to actively collect data, the other information was simply a way to leverage the organizer's convenience to simply consolidate fans.
"Is Xiao Shao wearing a doll costume over 2 meters tall?" "Wow, he even patted my head gently!" "Are there any sisters who recorded the video at that time? If you did, I'll treat you to a meal." "..." The waiting time was extremely slow, but when someone started mentioning their offline interactions with Ji Shao in a doll costume, the scene began to become lively.
Zhu Jian, sitting across from Zhou Xiao, was no less impressed. A smile played across her lips, her ears ringing. Then came the story Zhou Xiao and Li Mo had heard countless times—the story of how she missed the line because of an interview, and how Ji Shao returned and half-knelt down to hug her.
But the two of them didn't feel any impatience, because they both felt the powerful energy coming from their favorite artists through Zhu Jian's repeated words. Why is the reverse support of artists always used to prove that they are a two-way relationship with their fans? The reason is simple: because it is rare and precious.
"Ahhh, the official Weibo account has released it..." a woman in the cafe excitedly shouted, holding up her phone. At that hour, the cafe was mostly full of fans. After this reminder, the number of viewers for this newly released video skyrocketed at a visible rate.

[Topic] WOC... Are you NINE STAR fans eating so well?
[Main Post] I only knew they walked the red carpet in doll costumes, but I didn’t expect to find out from a Douyin marketing account that NINE STAR actually went offline for a social media interaction [crying kitten head.jpg]
And when one fan said she didn't get in line, Ji Shao, who had already left, heard it and came back to hug her! Damn it, what a mean person I am! This OP is so envious and jealous that I could swallow a lemon tree in one gulp!

I'm declaring [out] that video Sister Zhou posted of Ji Shao taking off his headgear and helmet. So far, it's barely garnered over 200 views, right? There's so much comic strips, speed drawings, and edits out there, it's almost impossible to keep up... You know what I mean!

If there is only one idol left in the world, it will undoubtedly be Shao Zi! PS: The headset is really beautiful, and Sister Zhou has a good eye.

Honestly, I'm starting to suspect there's a Nine Star fan on Taobao! What kind of sponsor is this? Not only is their promotion all over the place, they've even put them on TVC, and they're so nice to their fans!

Reply to 106L: Don't overthink the capital. Taobao is the biggest beneficiary of this wave of popularity! Besides, it also took advantage of the situation to launch that ugly NINE STAR doll... one for 77r, and they sold over 100,000! I say to you idol-chasers, don't be too rich-_-#

[狗头] No one said who is the most heartbroken person this time? @正主didn’t invite the fake Chu Chenglin Nan fans

Although Double 11 has ended, the online discussion about Taobao's party has still set off waves of discussion. At the same time, Zhou Xiao also received a Christmas photo shoot invitation from WP.
After several friendly collaborations with the brand, and after receiving a personal invitation from WP executive Yuan Zhili, Zhou Xiao immediately agreed. At this moment, she was opening her email to check the invitation sent by WP regarding the subjects and clothing to be photographed.
Staring at the photo on the screen, Zhou Xiao thought for a moment and quickly locked onto a name in his memory bank. He tapped his fingers on the keyboard, and a contact who had already been in the chat software appeared on the screen - Hui Anxin.
On the other side, Hui Anxin slowly exhaled and opened her eyes. With a hint of helplessness, she looked at her agent. Just a few minutes ago, this agent had been hovering in front of her.
With her delicate hands, she tied the braid around her neck tightly. After adjusting her sleep schedule, Hui Anxin simply sat cross-legged on the yoga mat. Her eyes looked particularly serious as she looked at her agent earnestly and said, "Sister Tang, just tell me what's going on."
Tang Zhao stopped wandering, holding a manual she had picked up from somewhere and subconsciously rolled up. Looking at Hui Anxin's serious face, she quickly gave up on the idea of joking and teasing her.
"Well, I'm here to announce some good news," Tang Zhao said with a smile on her face. She clapped her hands and said happily, "WP has won the Christmas ad!"
Upon hearing this news, Hui Anxin couldn't help but feel delighted. Although she was considered a supermodel by outsiders, she had already developed a sense of crisis with the rapid rise of newcomers in the domestic modeling industry.
This sense of crisis is like honey on the edge of a knife. While worrying, Hui Anxin also feels the joy of the growing popularity of Chinese models. While these young people can't be considered her competitors yet, the fact that luxury brands love to use new faces is undeniable. At least this advertising collaboration with WP is a long time coming.
The fact that they were able to "reconcile" shows that the brand still recognizes her expressiveness, not that her journey on the WP track has come to an end.
After she finished speaking, Tang Zhao's smile deepened. Facing Hui Anxin's puzzled gaze, she gently dropped a bombshell. "Mr. Yuan hired a photographer who's been very popular lately to shoot the commercial. You know this photographer..." She paused again, "It's Zhou Xiao."
A trace of doubt flashed through Hui Anxin's mind, and then when her reason returned, her eyelids twitched violently, "Is it really her?"
For Hui Anxin, the latter was far more surprising than the former. Luxury brand advertising wasn't common, but for her, there were other brands approaching her without WP. But Zhou Xiao... after she shot a hit commercial for Dai Linfei, she undoubtedly became a sought-after partner for many models.
Not to mention the WP boss's generous praise on foreign websites afterwards, which can be said to have made Zhou Xiao a hot commodity in the eyes of domestic models.
Models are more likely to be photographed than celebrities, but there are very few who can restore the texture and give it a creative beauty.
If meeting Zhou Xiao at the dinner party, showing goodwill to him was the best she could do, but if the scene were switched to today, Hui Anxin felt that she would take the initiative without hesitation.
When she heard the words "Mr. Yuan," Hui Anxin understood that this was the job her agent had secured for her, even at the cost of her reputation. Sitting cross-legged on her yoga mat, Hui Anxin stirred, rising and giving Tang Zhao a hug.
Years of collaboration had given them a thorough understanding of each other. As the hug ended, Tang Zhao saw that Hui Anxin, who had been quietly doing yoga, seemed to have become more energetic, and even her aura had changed.
This is a clarion call of confidence and pride.
…
Zhou Xiao was currently browsing Hui Anxin's past photoshoots. As an international supermodel, she had no trouble securing high-end skincare, makeup, lingerie, and apparel brands. As for filming commercial blockbusters, it was within her domain.
In these photos and videos, she could keenly feel that Hui Anxin was moving away from WP's style in recent years, which could be seen from the decreasing number of cooperative advertisements afterwards.
But for Zhou Xiao, it was not a problem, but rather a challenge!
