Chapter 376
After leaving the dressing room and keeping the Polaroid camera carefully, Zhou Xiao did not realize at first that Ji Shao had specifically mentioned the AR card.
It was not until the next night, after the release of the new Particle Mobile phone product, the Polaroid camera, that Zhou Xiao carefully took out the Polaroid photo from the card album.
Following the official announcement, numerous bloggers have released videos demonstrating how to use this new product. Zhou Xiao alone saw around ten videos in one night, demonstrating the strength of the LiLi promotional campaign.
This Polaroid camera, which can be connected to mobile devices in real time and can obtain AR videos by scanning photo paper, immediately attracted the curiosity of netizens.
It functioned like an AR card, but this time the video displayed wasn't one Zhou Xiao had previously created, but rather the interaction between the two of them last night. Even after watching it for the second time, Zhou Xiao could already anticipate just how lively the offline event would be.
This portable device, capable of producing photos in real time, is a boon for offline fans. Especially if it comes with a pen, wouldn't it be possible to get an autograph after taking the photo?
Perhaps this was a bit too much for the particle, after all, its original design was centered around portability. But for the protective case manufacturer, someone, sensing a business opportunity, had already photoshopped a new image the next day.
Add a marker pen to the case—wouldn't that easily attract fans? Add some trending IPs or fresh floral prints, and sales are guaranteed!
"Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Who knows, they might actually use them?" When this tempting slogan was bolded and highlighted in red on the product introduction picture by the merchant, the pre-sale quantity of this portable camera protective case increased rapidly due to word of mouth from fans.
As for the fans who were promoting the phone to each other, it turns out that the majority were NINE STAR fans. After the new product launch that evening, the members who were still ambassadors for the Particle phone posted photos on Weibo.
This was a very obvious business blog, but for fans, especially Ji Shao fans, they were almost hooked by Ji Shao and became black carp.
——A certain blog——
@NINE STAR-纪韶V: [Shh] Look what I saw? #ParticleShop#

The picture shows a small wooden photo frame placed on the bedside table, with a Polaroid photo with a small purple heart drawn on the upper right corner.
The photo on the Polaroid camera was a selfie of Ji Shao with his back to the window, but when he used the mobile phone's scanning function, a video would automatically pop up -
"Did you see the direction I'm pointing?" Ji Shao's peach blossom eyes narrowed into slits of joy. He pointed at the crowd gathered at the foot of the wall and said cheerfully, "That's the sign with my name on it. Thank you so much, everyone. See you next time!"
[Hey! It's a little purple heart, so I assume it's our sweet potato!]
Looking forward to Bao's "The King's Man," he was so handsome last night! He's joined a new group, so please take good care of yourself! 】
[This is so cool and reassuring. It would be even better if I could put it in a sack and take it away [purple sack.jpg]]
[Help! Ladies, this is the photo paper I used to take photos with my phone. Look at the logo! It can be scanned into a video!]
[I declare that Ji Shao and Tiao Si have locked [heart]. We specially found a place to take an offline photo last night, and it was right under your window! Ahhhh, how come no one noticed it at the time!]
【……】
…
Zhou Xiao didn't notice Ji Shao's post at first, but after being reminded by Zhu Jian who bombarded all members in the group with messages and madly tagged them, she watched the video he posted in the group while blowing her hair.
As the person who had contributed most to the selection of the group photo, Zhu Jian had already been very proud of himself, showing off his skills in the group chat for a while. When Zhou Xiao saw others in the comments section lamenting that no one had noticed Ji Shao at the time, he even turned off the hair dryer and thought for a while.
Finally, we came to the conclusion that even though she had just come out of the NINE STAR dressing room, she still couldn't recognize that the place where everyone was taking pictures was right below the dressing room.
As for the Polaroid that Ji Shao had mentioned to him, which could only be made public tonight... Zhou Xiao's lips curled up slightly. He couldn't show it off publicly, but he could still share this joy with his friends.
In the small group chat, after Zhou Xiao posted the Polaroid video, he was bombarded with an extremely fierce emoji package. Well, the owner of this emoji package was Nie Li, who went viral last night.
After one of his emoticons went viral, the video of him and Ji Shao on stage together was screenshotted and enlarged frame by frame by people who were just looking for fun, and turned into emoticons. When everyone was having fun, even Nie Li's agent was having fun, but now no one really cared about Nie Li, who was sitting in the corner with no hope in his life.
Zhu Jian in the group now understood the purpose of Zhou Xiao's message to him after the film viewing. With tears in his eyes, he angrily typed a line in the group:
"[Poor] Bring it to me when you come out later, please, Sister Xiao!"
Although the screening had concluded, neither of them was in a rush to leave. Zhu Jian planned to spend a few days in Jing City before returning. As for Zhou Xiao, she received a resume the next morning. As luck would have it, the person who submitted the resume was in Jing City. Having originally considered leaving Jing City, she decided to stay.
After yesterday's film screening, many people knew Zhou Xiao was in Beijing due to the performances of SHINE STAR and Smart Girls. It was no surprise that Zhou Xiao received numerous collaboration offers that evening.
These shoots were all short-term, clearly taking time into consideration. Zhou Xiao didn't even need to prepare in advance. As long as it aligned with the brand's philosophy, nothing could go wrong. Zhou Xiao could just show up and start filming right away.
After receiving a large number of business orders and considering that the photography base in Shanghai was almost ready for use, Zhou Xiao simply posted a recruitment information on his WeChat Moments last night.
As soon as she posted this message on her WeChat Moments, she received numerous replies. Some, like Qin Shi, were genuinely happy for her, then asked when she could expect to start accepting orders. Another, like stylist Ren Yaqi, offered to recommend someone for her. And… Of course, the majority of the replies came from brands and artists who wanted to book appointments with her.
Zhou Xiao's motivation for posting this on WeChat Moments was to quickly and reliably recruit qualified staff. This was especially true given her experience with previous shoots, which had already given her a number of makeup, costume, and prop professionals. Their recommendations were more reliable than those found on recruitment apps, and Zhou Xiao also screened the candidates herself.
However, the first resume Zhou Xiao received was from someone she hadn't expected. After a brief memory search, she vaguely recalled the time she and the person were together on the set of "XZC."
Zhou Xiao hadn't paid attention to XZC in a long time, and she didn't know what its current status was after the split from the main version, but she wasn't particularly interested. However, she still had to ask the person applying for the job tomorrow about their reasons.
The transition from magazine employee to assistant was a bit of a stretch, but after recalling how familiar he was with the props during the shoot, it didn't seem like a big difference. If it was appropriate, Zhou Xiao could even bring him on set to get used to the new job.
Speaking of on-site running-in, we have to mention the new business order Zhou Xiao received in Beijing after receiving this resume - the shooting of the new particle mobile phone
Mao Sifeng was the one who actively arranged this commercial shoot. This was Zhou Xiao's first time shooting a mobile phone commercial. She could now boast that she was more interested in the project than the generous pay. She was more interested in it out of curiosity.
"Woo--" The sound of the hair dryer echoed in the hotel room. After drying her hair and quickly putting on some light makeup, Zhou Xiao went out to meet Zhu Jian.
…
Compared to the daytime, Beijing at night has a different kind of romance and charm. Compared to yesterday's tension, today's night tour is full of relaxation.
The two of them had only walked for about ten minutes when they were drawn to the dazzling light show outside the Jingshi Grand Hotel. For convenience, Zhou Xiao and Zhu Jian had rented a hotel near the film festival venue.
"What a coincidence!" Zhou Xiao looked up at the familiar road and hotel. After exchanging a glance with Zhu Jian beside him, they both couldn't help but laugh. This completely unexpected "reunion" was not only a little funny, but also truly hilarious.
"Hey, why are there still people there?" Zhu Jian asked curiously, looking at the figures gathered not far away. There were many local residents walking around the Jingshi Hotel, but it was rare to see them all gathered in one place like they saw.
Zhou smiled and squinted his eyes, then said uncertainly, "This...isn't this the place where we took our group photo last night?"
The two of them exchanged bewilderment. Now that they were closer, they could clearly see the people gathered there taking photos against the window above. Someone could even be heard gruffly questioning, "Isn't this where they took their photos in the fan club's blog post?"
“…”
"We're getting better," Zhou Xiao said dimly, "and some fans are checking in to take photos with us."
Zhu Jian on the side stretched out her hand, and after a moment of silence, she cooperated very well and raised her "proud" thumbs up.
