Chapter 456
In the crowd, Zhou Xiao was the first to spot the drone, which had deviated from its planned trajectory. Cheese had discussed this route with her before the concert, so Zhou Xiao was still somewhat curious about the situation.
She remembered that Cheese had paid a large sum for this pilot, so it was impossible for him to make such a small mistake. However, her vision was temporarily obscured by several colleagues in high buns in front of her, preventing Zhou Xiao from seeing where the errant drone was heading.
"Xiaoxiao, what are you looking at?" Qi Sisi followed Zhou Xiao's line of sight. Uh... she was shorter than Zhou Xiao, so her vision was blocked even more. All she could see was the tall "wall" of hair in front of her.
Zhou Xiao pointed in the direction the drone had disappeared and briefly explained her recent discovery to Qi Sisi. Just as she was about to call Cheese to inquire if he knew about the drone's deviation, she was drawn to it by a deafening commotion ahead.
Amidst a sea of purple lights, Cheese, equipped with her newly upgraded gear, commanded her friends. Her online followers, once known for their influence, their posts racking up thousands of likes and comments, were now mere shills offline. Two years had passed! In those two-plus years, she finally got to experience the thrill of being an "official," savoring the thrill of commanding her fan club members and big fans.
Even with the bustling crowd, the drone could still be heard as it flew overhead. Cheese, captivated by the sound, frowned, wondering if it was another fan's drone that had flown by mistake. Then, she noticed the drone, with a purple sign bearing the Chinese character "Shao" hanging from its base, perched steadily behind her to the left.
At the same time, the ones who shifted their gaze even faster than Cheese were the Tiaosi in the front row, holding fluorescent banners and ready to squat at any moment. The screams Zhou Xiao heard from behind, which rivaled the dolphin's, were theirs.
"ah--"
The extra-long fluorescent banner was subconsciously lifted and waved simultaneously by dozens of hands. The small animal sculptures with Ji Shao's attributes and the various cheering words on the banner were also forced to shake violently.
"Shh-"
The young man, with his index finger raised, smiled broadly. Standing half a head taller than the security guards, he saved the crowd from having to search for him. The moment their gazes turned, the person who had so recently shone so brilliantly on the Olympic Sports Center stage instantly captured their attention.
The screams that had shaken the entire square gradually died down as word of mouth spread. Everyone understood that the tens of thousands of people present at this moment were no small number. If Ji Shao wanted to stay with them in this square for even a minute longer, they would need to maintain absolute silence! If not absolute silence, then relative silence would be necessary!
The fans' offline support photoshoot was incredibly timely, and the security chief, upon learning they were tasked with protecting such a top-tier group, breathed a sigh of relief. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of people at the concert, the crowds outside the plaza were also considerable. Relying solely on their security team of several hundred people would be a difficult task.
Because the overall situation was already in good order, their only task now was to enclose these nine members in a protective circle. They would then be on the lookout for passersby who were strolling or taking photos in the square from other directions, to prevent any unforeseen attacks from those who might have infiltrated the area.
"Good evening, everyone." Ji Shao appeared at the scene and had simply fixed his makeup. Although his eyes were a little swollen like many fans, under the lights and environment at that moment, it was the TOP1 moment in the minds of countless people after tonight.
"Xiao Shao!" "Good evening, Brother Shao!" "Brother, go to bed early." "Yes, you should go back early, you still have a plane to catch later!" "..."
Although everyone was excited at first, after seeing Ji Shao's current state, without exception, their hearts softened beyond words. To have such a surprise tonight was already the greatest happiness.
Contrary to what the nervous security team had imagined, the fans' excitement and lack of control only lasted for the first few minutes. Once the crowd calmed down, the fans didn't try to persuade the artists to stay, but instead urged them to go back and rest.
"Brother! Horn!"
After Cheese came to his senses, he immediately handed over the speaker in his hand, and did not forget to point to the large speaker that was connected to the speaker.
Ji Shao, who originally had no intention of using the loudspeaker, paused for a second before accepting the simple loudspeaker and said with a smile, "Thank you, Sister Cheese~"
It wouldn't matter if he didn't say it, but after he did, one of the officers in the offline team immediately became confused. These seven words were like a never-ending loop, replaying non-stop around Cheese's brain.
Qimiao and Zhu Jian, who were standing next to her, were left with no choice but to look at the line manager, completely captivated by Ji Shao's words. Adding to the excitement of seeing Ji Shao up close, the two combined made them unable to help but put their hands over their foreheads, feeling inexplicably embarrassed.
Qimiao was especially disappointed. She was really disappointed. You know, Cheese had many opportunities to follow Xiao Shao offline. Otherwise, he wouldn't be the offline person in charge of the fan club, and Ji Shao wouldn't remember his nickname.
It wasn't the first time, but she still embarrassed them all. After exchanging a glance with Zhu Jian and a few reluctant glances at Xiao Shao, Qi Miao decisively and he moved the ecstatic Cheese to the side. Any later, and the fan club would be utterly embarrassed because of this girl!
This minor incident did not affect the scene. In the crowd, Ji Shao, surrounded by security personnel, had already started speaking with a loud speaker.
Standing over 1.8 meters tall, he looked incredibly down-to-earth against the backdrop of the loud speaker. Ji Shao looked at the excited fans in front of him who were forcibly suppressing their emotions, and a soft spot suddenly grew in his heart.
"Thank you all for coming to our concert tonight." Ji Shao's voice spread quickly in this relatively quiet square along with the diffusion of the large speakers.
"You haven't left yet, are you all here to take a group photo?"
"Yes!" "Yes!" "Brother, did you see the drone show?" "Yes! The drones are from Sister Xindong's support group!" "Did you see the flower wall?" "..."
The voices replying to Ji Shao seemed to be divided into two major groups. One group mainly responded affirmatively, while the other group began to ask Ji Shao whether he had seen the many offline supports.
"Okay, okay, I saw it," the young man said, his dimples deepening. "I saw every bit of support! Thank you so much, everyone!"
Feeling the joy of the crowd, Ji Shao smiled. He then reached out and waved towards the drone that was parked right in front of him. "Can you hear me? If you can, could you please turn around?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the fans in the front row instinctively looked up and saw the drone in the sky spin in a circle. The movement was so smooth and silky that it also caused the small "Shao" sign hanging below to spin.
How could the technician operating the drone not realize how lucky she was? Almost as soon as Ji Shao's words left her mouth, she immediately followed suit. Her movements were crisp and efficient, without any hesitation.
However, as she followed the instructions to film them in one take, she looked at Ji Shao, who was half-crouching in front of her without any airs of a star. With a sigh of gratitude, she also deftly controlled the drone to fly low and record. After four or five rounds, she ended this large-scale support event, which she still felt a little unsatisfied.
A strikingly similar scene unfolded across the artificially divided squares of the Olympic Sports Center. Having concluded their graduation concert, the members joined their fans for their final offline concert tonight.
There may be countless more concerts in the future, but tonight's encounter and interaction is something that everyone will remember forever. For the fans, they are lucky enough.
There were a few rare cloudy days during Jinling's hot summer. To be honest, it seemed like they were specially prepared for NINE STAR's concert.
Not to mention the high quality of this concert and the huge surprises the members brought them. Therefore, this year's Chinese Valentine's Day was absolutely lucky and happy for NINE STAR fans.

【Topic】What does it mean when a group disbands? Are you starting to chase after them?
[Main building]why!
NINE STAR, why are you still so decent even after the end? [crying] Why are all nine of you so good!!!

The picture was released by the group's fan site. It was taken by a drone and shows the nine members surrounded by security personnel, taking a group photo with fans holding blue fan signs and support banners behind them.

Who understands, folks? The most team-spirited group in the world disbanded tonight [smiley face]. Who took a photo with their own fans offline and then spent an extra half hour taking photos with the group's fans? You know, several of Ji Shao and his group had to catch flights in the wee hours!

I'm at the scene, and my hands are shaking right now [crying]. I'll never follow another group again. The only group I'll follow in my life will be Xiaojiu! You can't really understand that feeling unless you're there. Watching the fans take photos with the members, I felt so envious. When the disappointment of thinking I had absolutely no chance washed over me, I suddenly saw countless people rushing towards me!!!

It warms my heart to watch this. As a fan of the group, I feel so complete to receive such respect and love. [An Xiaoniao looks up at the sun.jpg]

Don't miss it if you're passing by, the collection of NINE STAR's best performances is here! Click on my profile picture to see the link to a certain website posted on my homepage. Let's watch China's top boy band together!

Even though NINE STAR disbanded, I will still keep following them. Just a joke, maybe they will be more likely to run into each other after they form a group [crying with my hands covering my face] Anyway, at Huayao, our group fans have been starving since the second year [smile]

The disbandment of NINE STAR is a great thing for other artists and marketing companies in the industry. It's been ten days since the official announcement of their graduation concert, and all the promotional material during those ten days has been overwhelmed by the popularity of NINE STAR.
While celebrities are usually criticized for dominating trending searches, this hasn't happened with NINE STAR. Perhaps there have been some, but it's also possible that fans have suppressed them. The strange thing is that the discussion around them has remained positive.
What is a national talent show? What is a national boy band? At this moment, people in the circle really felt it. Because a week after the concert ended, the trending searches about this group still soared to the top of the trending list from time to time.
September 8th was an ordinary Monday. As a publicity and promotional staff member at a small company, I was immediately perked up when I saw a new trending search term, #NINE STAR Graduation Concert Behind the Scenes#, top the search list.
But when he clicked on the trending search, he was stunned. Oh my god, isn't this the "ghost" of NINE STAR? Is anyone going to take care of this? Why is it that even after a group disbanded, trending searches are still free?
On his computer screen, a nine-square grid of images formed a young man staring directly into the camera with a somewhat cold expression. The caption above the blog post read:
Congratulations to Ji Shao on the completion of the TV series "Interweaving"!
