Chapter 484
Although the broadcast said so, it had little effect. Seeing more and more people gathering around the staff, Zhu Jian looked around and found that there were few familiar faces around. He turned to Zhou Xiao and Li Mo and said, "Let's go help!"
The arrival of these three people quickly eased the chaotic situation. In reality, the crowd's crowding was often a subconscious act. Once they saw someone actively maintaining order, they obediently followed the crowd, like a herd of lambs.
"Xiaoxiao~" A surprised voice sounded from behind, and an arm followed the voice and warmly placed it on Zhou Xiao's shoulders. "Ah, Sister Rou! You're all here!"
Zhou Xiao turned around and saw Cheese, who had dressed up beautifully today. Although she had known from the other party's bombardment of information a few days ago that the group going to Yun Province had all received tickets given by Ji Shao, it was clear that the momentum had continued to this day and seemed to be as strong as ever.
"What a coincidence, our offline person in charge is here, so you will be in charge from now on." Zhu Jian came back to his senses, put his arm around Zhou Xiao's arm, and smiled at Cheese.
"No problem!" Cheese was genuinely happy at the moment, not even bothering with his usual offline banter. Turning around, he began directing the staff as if they were his own employees.
…
"Ahhhh, so many Xiao Shaos!" On the other side of the screen, Qi Sisi followed the camera, her eyes piercing as she watched everything unfold offline. Her regret at not being able to join everyone at the event due to work was finally resolved thanks to the thoughtfulness of her friends!
"The staff just came over and said that a signal car will be coming from outside the venue when the time comes," Li Mo, who was squeezed next to Zhou Xiao, shouted into his phone, "I'll use my data to broadcast it live for you later!"
Although there is already an official live broadcast, private broadcasts like this have already attracted many reservations and requests before the fan meeting even started. Li Mo had heard this idea from other offline fans.
"Okay! I'll record it later and let Xiaoyu watch it." Qi Sisi was so in love with Li Mo that she almost fell in love with him. Of course, she didn't favor one over the other. Someone hiding in the tea room easily gave the other two a kiss each.
Compared to Xiaoyu, Qi Sisi felt she was already lucky enough. At least she wasn't like poor little Xiao, who had to wait until she got home from overtime to watch the videos.
As they chatted with Qi Sisi on the other end of the video, they heard the announcement of ticket checking coming from the loudspeaker in the square. Qi Sisi urged her friends to hurry and check their tickets. After all, time is more valuable than money these days! They absolutely couldn't be late!
After the three of them had waved to Qi Sisi, Zhou Xiao put his phone back into his pocket. Following Zhu Jian, who was holding three tickets and looking very carefree, they marched towards the ticket gate in a grand procession.
After checking their tickets and entering the venue, Zhou Xiao and the others were struck by the venue's design. She then realized why the walls of the passageways had been thoughtfully marked with special entrances and exits. It turned out the venue's pagoda-shaped seating layout concealed a small second floor.
The second floor could be accessed from outside the venue or by climbing up two large wooden staircases underneath. Since the number of seats was less than 2,000, Zhou Xiao could tell that even the last row wasn't too far from the stage. At the very least, there wouldn't be too many regrets.
The reason it was still dazzling was mainly because the interior decoration was too magnificent. Li Mo, who was traveling with me, sat in her seat and felt the lights inside. Her first feeling was that she was about to ascend the throne! After her eyes had adjusted to the lights in the venue, she even felt a little scared when she looked at the stage again.
"Xiaoxiao, do you..." Zhu Jian looked at the stage and swallowed unconsciously, "Do you feel... that the audience seats are too close to the stage..." How close? So close that the first row and the middle of the stage are only blocked by a barrier!
Looking at the first two rows of seats, which were clearly different from the others, Zhou Xiao felt she had the answer. A big reason for this was that they were simply a temporary addition to the 1,621-seat capacity. Those first two rows of seats looked a bit out of place, and they were probably a temporary addition at the request of the Xincheng staff.
Fortunately, the extra space wasn't that ridiculous. Zhou Xiao looked carefully and saw a two- to three-meter-long corridor between the first row and the sidewalk. This finally saved the fans from the audience from the awkward situation of only being able to see the people on stage with their eyes level.
"I was wondering why you were struggling with the numbers for so long, and finally they gave me the seventh row seat," Zhu Jian said, looking at Zhou Xiao with some relief. "This seventh row seat is just perfect for you, Xiaoxiao, to take the photo!"
In this "four for three" exchange, the fan club could have simply given them the front row seats instead of including her request. Zhou Xiao nodded in agreement with Zhu Jian's statement. Although the front rows were closer to the stage, the fan club was responsible enough to consider this point.
As soon as we entered, the noise inside the venue began to rise. Almost everyone who stepped into the room and looked at these seats couldn't help but say "so close".
Because the ticket checking line was organized and well-mannered, the thousand-plus people entered the venue very quickly. It didn't even take half an hour, and the seats were already fully booked. This is what a packed house means.
Seeing that Zhou Xiao had already set up the tripod, Li Mo, who was sitting on her left, raised his hand and asked, "Teacher Xiaoxiao, do you think I should start the live broadcast now?"
Zhu Jian, who was standing next to him, took a look and spoke decisively without waiting for Zhou Xiao to answer, "No, it's a waste of data if you open Chunchun now. Wait a minute-"
Before Zhu Jian could finish his words, the lights in the previously glittering arena suddenly went out. This was a fan meeting, and everyone was familiar with this situation. The staff, gathered nearby to appease the fans, realized they had no use for it.
While waiting for the lights to come back on, the dark screen made a rustling sound mixed with electronic noise for a minute before white text began to appear on the screen.
"Everyone's here so soon~"
This tone... some of the smarter fans who have already reacted couldn't help but open their eyes wide. Could this be - Ji Shao?
…
In the backstage dressing room.
Chen Shenju had barely sat down when someone knocked on the door he'd left ajar. Still feeling a little tired, he looked toward the door and saw a staff member leaning against the doorframe, panting.
In just a few seconds, Chen Shenju's mind had already imagined many things. Just as he was about to ask the staff member if he was feeling unwell, he heard the other party say this.
"Brother Chen, it's bad, all 1,621 of your fans are here!" The panting young man said hurriedly when his eyes met Chen Shenju's.
Ticket checking started two hours in advance, and with thousands of people checking in, it took less than half an hour. This high efficiency also meant that these fans would have to wait in vain for at least another two hours.
Ji Shao's appearance time was half an hour after the ticket check was completed. This half an hour was to give some fans who were checking tickets time to find their seats. Although the venue was not large, this time was still necessary.
But what about the current situation?
At that moment, the dressing room was completely silent, with only the gentle rustling of the makeup artist's brush as she applied powder. As for Chen Shenju, who had heard the news, he was lost in thought.
Everyone's enthusiasm is so high, which should be a good thing. But with so much enthusiasm and so little time left, it's a bit difficult to handle. After all, this is a fan meeting, and leaving everyone out in the cold is not only something Xiao Shao would disapprove of, but he himself would also feel it's inappropriate.
Just as he was about to speak, Ji Shao, who was sitting quietly in a chair having his makeup done, suddenly spoke up, "Teacher Zheng, could you please take Brother Chen to talk to the venue manager and ask us to move the meeting up an hour. Teacher Qin just said that the makeup will take about another half an hour to finish."
Teacher Qin was the stylist who was helping Ji Shao with his makeup at the moment. When she heard Ji Shao mention her, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, and even the makeup brush she used on Ji Shao's face became lighter.
The young man who was called Teacher Zheng by Ji Shao was a little confused at first. After he regained consciousness, his body leaning against the door frame straightened up silently because of the word "Teacher Zheng".
Zheng Lu remembered when he first introduced himself, right after Ji Shao had arrived for rehearsal. He was just an ordinary employee, and he hadn't expected such a big star to remember his name. He stammered a response, then began to feel at a loss.
“No…no problem!”
Seeing Chen Shenju stand up from the sofa, Ji Shao seemed to remember something and said with a smile, "Oh! By the way, Brother Chen, can you also help me pass on a few words to everyone later!"
“…”

[Topic] Is anyone in our group paying attention to the meeting at Big Brother's house?
[Main Post] I heard that because Big Brother’s fans arrived early, Brother Ji moved up the meeting time by an hour. Damn, I’m so envious! I’ve never met such a good artist before!

Huh? Can we check in earlier? Is that true? If I check in before the scheduled time or if I check in overtime, I'll have to pay extra, right?
13L OP
Reply to 1L: It's true. Ji Ge's studio and the fan club both issued a statement an hour before the fan meeting. If you don't believe it, you can go to a certain blog and see it yourself [与世无争.jpg]

Not only in advance, the big brother also interacted with the fans in the venue. I saw a fan cut on Douyin, saying that they were discussing which new song to sing together later. I heard that everyone has already practiced in the venue, and it has become a large KTV scene in seconds. I am dying of laughter hhhh

Looking at Ji Shaochao's chat, there were even anti-support paper bags on the seats. But because they were sealed, no one opened them... Now, they've hooked me up, and even I, a local, want to know what's inside!!!

This is the first time I hate my former teammates' fans so much (not
…
In fact, when the support paper bag was posted online, not only netizens but even fans of NINE STAR's former teammates were curious about what was inside. They all wanted to know, and fans who had already received the bag at the scene were even more curious. But who could blame the white text on the screen that urged everyone not to open it yet?
Li Mo was holding the thick and exquisite gift bag in her hands, and she could already feel its weight. But one thing she had to say was that she truly felt at home here.
Just now, when Li Mo was unpacking the bag, she accidentally lifted the seal. Before Xiaoxiao and Rourou could stop her, several sisters in the front row with sharp ears turned around to supervise.
Li Mo was so panicked that he quickly put the bag on his knees and raised his hands to indicate that he was "innocent" and had no "ulterior motives" as Zhou Xiao and Zhu Jian covered their mouths and laughed.
"You," Zhou Xiao said softly, leaning over, "the countdown is almost over. Let's open it together with everyone else!"
Li Mo nodded affirmatively, then turned his gaze to the large screen in front of him. In this glittering venue, a very obvious countdown animation was displayed in the center of the huge screen.
The flow of time inside the venue was very different from that outside. When Zhou Xiao was almost thirsty from singing along with everyone, and was about to drink some water to moisten her throat, she suddenly caught sight of the big screen and stopped drinking water.
"Xiao Xiao" and "Zha La Zha La" were already singing excitedly, and both of them were a little dazed, like little bees. When they looked in the direction of Zhou Xiao's finger, they immediately changed from their "slightly tipsy" state to sober mode.
On the large black screen, the white countdown was almost reaching the single digits. Just like the sudden silence of the two people, the noisy venue gradually began to quiet down.
When the countdown reached the single digits, the fans in the seats felt as if they could hear their own breathing in the stadium. As they looked at the screen, their eyes began to become serious.
"Five, four, three..."
