Chapter 363 Chapter 363
On the evening of the party, as short and blurry videos and oral statements were released from the scene, the topic #NINE STAR gives back to fans# quickly became a hot search.
Aside from the CCTV staff, the rest of the campsite was filled with fans. The staff were naturally tactful and had a much stronger sense of confidentiality than the average fan.
Therefore, due to Mao Sifeng's emphasis on the scene, no one leaked the complete video. However, this actually added a touch of mystery to the evening's extra party.
Since there is no complete video leaked anywhere, people are so tempted that they want to jump back to the end of the May Day Gala.
Since there was a demand, people soon started to take advantage of it. Scammers started making fake videos and selling them for a few dollars.
This method might work for others, allowing them to take advantage of the situation. But at NINE STAR, within ten minutes, the scammers received numerous complaints from various companies, and their accounts were blocked after the system successfully determined their existence.
The Ji Shao family members who didn't win a spot were rueing the added bonus of offline benefits. Everyone assumed this was just a paid extra performance, but after hearing the offline reposts, it actually barely qualified as a small concert.
Because of this, Ji Shao fans' anticipation and enthusiasm for future offline events are even stronger than ever. While such opportunities may become rare, this is enough.
Especially when compared with the management of other fans, the fair and equitable distribution of quotas by their own group has also begun to gain some fame in the circle.
As for fans of the other NINE STAR members, they had a rough time tonight. The online internal fights were just as intense as the offline ones, even seeming to overwhelm them.
Compared to the high-rise offline repo posts in Ji Shao’s super topic, the high-rise posts in the super topics of other NINE STAR members are all fans tagging their own fan clubs, asking them to announce the number of places and the specific allocation.
——[Entertainment Forum]——[April 15th evening]
【Theme】Wow! This is the first time the main character and fans are so lively!
[Main Post] This sense of disconnect is really strong. First, the trending topics I saw were all praising Nine Star. Then, here's the kicker: when I randomly clicked into a member's super topic, it was filled with large text/posters, which was really a bit scary.
And it’s all the fans who are making a fuss, demanding that their own fan club provide a detailed list and explain how the extras spots were allocated! It seems that only Ji Shao’s family is normal. Can anyone explain what’s going on?

I know some inside stories, some people are taking advantage of their high-ranking status among fans and have been hogging the spots for a long time at low prices or even for free. This time, the members' last-minute extra performance as a token of their appreciation was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

As the saying goes, when you find a cockroach, the room...

Stop talking, this fan is really going to vomit! Look at the big brother next door, he immediately put up a table and announced it. Although the last place bid was also shockingly high, the president of the group said that the money will eventually go to the fan club for future support!

Only a few months are left until Nine Star disbands, right? If fans were brave enough to form a new fan club and eliminate the old troublemakers, it would only benefit their fans and their co-stars...

Just a quick question: Didn't any of the fans at the event bring cameras? The trending searches are starting to drop, so why isn't there a full video of the event yet?
…
By the time Zhou Xiao was on her way back to the hotel, her messaging app was buzzing with activity. When she arrived in her room and opened it, she saw that the questions she had been asking were exactly the ones she had anticipated.
This was also the downside of having all new people present. If Cheese and the others from the fan club were there, they would have immediately reported the situation to the fan club group. But this was a minor issue that wasn't a big deal... because compared to what happened elsewhere tonight, it wasn't a big deal.
In the group chat, Zhou Xiao saw Li Mo livestreaming her breakdown. Unlike the others, she and Zhu Jian had a chance to participate thanks to Zhou Xiao's ticket. If she had known earlier, she would have squeezed in the time even if she didn't have the time!
Zhou Xiao could only silently lament this. This offline performance was indeed unexpectedly good, and one thing is certain: if he had known there would be additional performances, the auction price for his extras would have doubled.
But precisely because of this temporary addition, without any preparation, for the fans present today it can be said to be the most perfect and surprising one in their star-chasing career.
Because Ji Shao's fans were so new at this offline event, many people Zhou Xiao knew came over to ask her about the news. Zhou Xiao briefly summarized what happened at the event and then sent it to everyone one by one.
After all the responses were finished, she was already sitting at the table. After connecting the camera to the computer, Zhou Xiao began to select the photos and videos she had taken today.
Because he was in the director's room at the time, he didn't have any footage for the last three scenes, but for Zhou Xiao, the previous accumulation was enough. Although the show was still two weeks away, it would be best to finish it in a few days while he still had the feeling.
And there was another big event recently, which Zhou Xiao had made time for. Just this afternoon, she saw a message on Director Fang's WeChat Moments: "Letters from Time and Space" was already preparing for previews.
Zhou Xiao plans to go back to her hometown to spend this year's May Day holiday with her parents. For those who have seen the movie "Letters from Time and Space", she thinks this movie is also suitable for watching with family.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xiao opened her memo and wrote down the time for the movie's preview a week in advance. In anticipation of the film's eager promotion, she also prepared a "gift" early on.
…
Time keeps passing. Although several days have passed since NINE STAR recorded the CCTV program, the hot topics that developed during this period can be said to have continued.
Some time ago, the heated situation at the homes of other NINE STAR members began to calm down thanks to Huayao's intervention. As for how to calm things down, of course, he used the old-fashioned method of persuading fans by using the members' future and reputation as a pretext.
Amidst this turmoil, even Zhou Xiao, a casual observer, was aware that two fan clubs ultimately underwent internal restructuring. This demonstrates that the conflicts and contradictions caused by the quota for extras were even more complex than most onlookers had imagined.
"Xiaoxiao, are you ready?" There was a knock on the door. It was Ms. Zheng Jinghua urging her daughter to leave quickly.
Yes, Zhou Xiao had packed up and sent himself home long before he finished editing the photos and videos. The family went out today to support Director Fang's film preview at the cinema.
Of course, his parents still don't know he's involved in the promotional photos. Zhou Xiao didn't mention it because Director Fang's promotional plan for the film wouldn't be released until the May Day premiere.
As a renowned director, he had already considered the promotional direction when he hired an all-amateur cast. The preview of "Letters from Time and Space" was intended to spread word of mouth. With Fang Xi's full confidence in his work, this preview was intended to increase the number of screenings later.
Not to mention, Fang Xi had a pair of trump cards in his hand, waiting to give everyone a "surprise" on the day of the premiere. And for Zhou Xiao, supporting the preview on the first day was a must.
"Here I come!" Zhou Xiao took his camera, opened the door, and subconsciously grabbed Ms. Zheng's warm and soft hand.
As soon as the mother and daughter arrived in the living room, they saw Zhou's father, who had already prepared everything, waiting at the door. The man who had seemed indifferent to the family of three's trip now seemed even more impatient.
Zhou Chengdong looked at his daughter's camera, and a smile widened as he thought of something. He subconsciously glanced down at his left hand, then casually stretched it out, revealing the gleaming, elegant watch on his wrist.
Zhou Xiao had seen this series of actions at least a dozen times in the few days since she returned. She turned around and was met with Ms. Zheng's helpless expression.
Unlike Lao Zhou, who has made it a habit to show off the watch his daughter bought for him when he goes out, Zheng Jinghua only feels that she is carrying a conspicuous bag with her.
…
Meanwhile, Liu Xiaoxin was bored and scrolling through her blog. Her idol had signed up for a new film, and her favorite photographer hadn't released anything new. So, she could only scroll through fast-paced short videos and surf the internet.
Aside from NINE STAR's fan club, there wasn't much else trending online these past few days that interested her. The only thing that piqued her interest was the preview of director Fang Xi's new film.
But Liu Xiaoxin was not interested in movies of this type. The reason she was slightly interested was because the director had a good relationship with Zhou Xiao.
After all, who could have imagined that after filming wrapped on "Flower City," director Ren would be so aloof that he wouldn't even follow the show's official Weibo account, nor the lead actors or actresses, and instead only follow photographer Zhou Xiao? During that time, it was a constant topic of conversation among the group!
But the new blog post that was refreshed this time surprised Liu Xiaoxin. Holy crap! Sister Zhou, who hadn't updated in a century, actually posted a blog today! And it was about a private screening of "Letters from Time and Space"!
The unexpected collaboration also left Liu Xiaoxin stunned for a while. But when she sent the picture to the group and was about to call everyone in the group to come and get the tickets to show her support, she found that the tickets for the 500-person large-scale cloud private screening had been taken.
Zhou Xiao's blog post contained no related terms or the contents of "Letters from Time and Space." The fact that it sold out so quickly was largely due to the frequent and engaged followers of her account.
The group, which had become active again due to this message, suddenly received another screenshot. Liu Xiaoxin clicked on it and saw that it was the official Weibo account that had reposted Zhou Xiao's post.
Wait, the official blog reposted it?!
