Chapter 76
——New Town Publicity and Distribution Department——
OG Dajuan has a lesser-known career: he's a rapper and an actor signed by Metro Entertainment. His new drama is about to premiere, and Ji Shao's rising popularity has surprised the company, so Metro Entertainment arranged for the two to collaborate with their marketing department.
Ji Shao's rap performance in this episode was a good opportunity for some interaction. Of course, this assumes Da Juan has seen Ji Shao's rap videos and agrees with them. So, when Da Juan searched for Ji Shao's rap videos on Weibo, the first popular video he saw was a heart-pounding one, so he immediately reposted Zhou Xiao's post.
Of course, this wasn't a problem. Ji Shao could gain popularity through the endorsement of industry insiders, and Dajuan could leverage Ji Shao's popularity to promote the show. This was a win-win situation for both parties and New Town.
After Feng Ruogu, under Cheng Shaoyan's arrangement, pushed the tag #Dajuan wants to collaborate with Ji Shao on rap# to the top of the trending searches, he finally took the time to check out the news on the Star Path 101 forum today.
Feng Ruogu couldn't help but smile as he watched the endless discussion on the forum about Fashion Magazine. Long before, XS had discussed with New Town the idea of promoting Ji Shao to the cover of a second-tier women's magazine in August.
You know, it's always been difficult for male stars to appear in women's magazines, and female stars to appear in men's magazines. Furthermore, Ji Shao is being promoted by a brand alone. Although it's less valuable than a magazine invitation, it's a reflection of his value to him.
This is one of the reasons why Feng Ruogu did not tell the fan club like other economic companies that they would go all out to pay for "Fashion". Another reason is naturally that he wanted to save some money for Ji Shao's subsequent sales of "Shang Ken" magazine.
With the magazine shoot scheduled for the end of the month, it's time to reveal some of the details, to help stabilize Ji Shao's currently volatile fanbase, and to celebrate Ji Shao's #1 ranking this issue!
Although I am just a staff member, seeing my own artists doing so well, who can not be happy for my job which is becoming more and more valuable?
…
In the early stages of Star Path 101, the first and second places were essentially locked in a fierce battle between Yan Shu and Chu Cheng. Although Ji Shao outvoted both of them in the previous episode, their fans managed to maintain their positions by scouting the area and pumping in votes.
Just half an hour after the show aired, someone on the forum finally noticed the significant change in rankings. The change in top spot and the resulting ranking shift shocked everyone surfing the forum.
——【Forum】——[July 22 evening]
[Topic] I really don’t understand this issue’s rankings…
[Main Building] Season 1: Shao, Season 2: Zheng Shulin, Season 3: Liang Wendao, Season 4: Yan Shu, Season 5: Lin Nan, Season 6: Chu Cheng, Season 7: Xu Zhou, Season 8: Wu Yanyan, Season 9: Gao Hanwen...

Ranking cleanup, damn!
8L
I can understand Chu Cheng's drop in rankings, considering the voting group incident. And how come Yan Shu also dropped? And wasn't Zheng Shulin only 14th last week? How did he jump so high?
17L
My Lord! The world has finally changed!
33L
Wow, Xu Zhou also squeezed into the debut position! Last time he was ranked 12th! Speaking of which, he and Ji Shao are really the same, and their rankings have been on an upward trend!
66L
Don’t say this guy is quite inspiring. I looked it up out of curiosity. From 49-43-24-12-7, it’s awesome! Such a straight line of soaring! The hero in the novel must be cheating!
97L
The only ones who seem to be in the right place in this ranking are Ji Shao, Liang Wendao, and Wu Yanyan... The former has a lot of fan voting, not to mention his family's "Xindong Big Brother" giving out 100 5-year annual passes every week. The latter two have always had relatively stable rankings...
123L
Reply to 66L: After hearing what you said, I also went to Ji Shao's super topic to look it up. Ji Shao's rankings in recent times are 24-16-4-3-1... And both of them are people who changed their destiny by seizing the opportunity. No wonder they are such good friends!
…
As Zhou Xiao was watching the show and checking the trending searches, a system notification suddenly rang in his mind: [Beep! Ji Shao has been detected as having achieved first place for the first time. A reward of 200,000 yuan in system funds will be given.]
Zhou Xiao:!!!
Zhou Xiao had a new understanding of the system's generosity, and watched as the small treasury received another beautiful amount of money.
The next day, when Zhu Jian excitedly informed Ji Shao in the small group that there would be a new magazine, Zhou Xiao found out that the news that Ji Shao was going to shoot the cover of "Shang Ken" magazine had been released by a blogger who specialized in breaking gossip in the fashion circle that morning.
When the fan club's contact person, Digital Sister, saw the news, she quickly contacted the New Town staff to confirm, and the reply she received was "It is indeed true!"
The news broke the next day, and fans who had been stunned by the fan club's refusal to raise funds for the magazine the day before were immediately stunned. The importance of a top-tier men's magazine, with a group cover, versus a second-tier women's magazine, with a single cover, became immediately clear.
These fans then began to bombard the fan club members with private messages. Finally, after the fan club members vaguely confirmed it in their friend circles, everyone was shocked! Such fake information turned out to be true! But if it was Ji Shao, it didn't seem impossible. After all, he was the first trainee to have a luxury brand name!
At the same time, Zhou Xiao also received the theme of this magazine shoot sent by Qin Shi through email - Enchanted
The photo also includes a photo of the new fragrance: the bottle cap features a perfectly polished, drop-shaped crystal, while the bottle itself is a pale pink drop. In the photo, you can vaguely see the wave ripples on the bottle, creating a light and distinctive look.
No wonder it's called Pink Wave, Zhou Xiao couldn't help but sigh. It was obvious this perfume was made for a women's magazine; both the crystal lining and the bottle itself were incredibly beautiful and exquisite. With only a few days until the magazine's photoshoot on the 28th, Zhou Xiao had plenty of time to conceive the shoot.
Zhou Xiao felt that what she wanted to do now was to spread this joy. She had previously placed an order for 1,100 peripheral gift packs through the system. Excluding the 100 that were left, 300 of them were used for offline support during the "Three Public Events," 200 for the "Three Public Events" online raffle, and 500 support gift packs were sold at the request of fans.
The support gift package not only includes a lot of peripherals, but also a PB, a PB that people have been longing for since the launch of the site.
Ji Shao's chat room has been in an excited state since last night, because the first place obtained through joint efforts has made everyone less worried about the fan club not participating in the fundraising of "Fashion".
Today's magazine article soothed everyone's anxiety, but what made everyone even more ecstatic was that their "God of Hearts" website is selling merchandise!
——Blog Post——

The picture shows Zhou Xiao placing these finished products together.
【Ahhh sister, you finally sold merchandise!】
[Sister Xindong, this is so troublesome. Can you please specify the minimum number of votes per day? [Funny] I've been in the voting group for a long time anyway~]
[I'm dizzy! Everyone, check out the gift pack! It has PB!]
[There are only 500 copies [crying] What should I do if I’m slow and can’t get them?]
【I lick my PB like crazy!!!】
[How much? Please, this is very important to me!]
[Just a quick question, is it really only 1 dollar? ]
【……】
This time, the Q-version design of the peripheral products was customized by Zhou Xiao from the system, and the link was also generated by the system, which can automatically identify the content and help Zhou Xiao determine whether the uploaded screenshots are qualified.
Regarding the price, Zhou Xiao chose one dollar, which itself carries the meaning of celebrating Ji Shao's first place, and is also an extension of the one dollar shipping fee. The reason for setting a threshold to purchase is also to give benefits to the "little black workers" who worked hard to vote for Ji Shao. As for whether you can buy it, it depends on your own ability.
Just ten minutes before Zhou Xiao published the blog post, the Star 101 production team also released an official photo of the trainees’ second public performance looks.
This set of official photos was taken by Yan Shu, the fan who won the first place in the #Star 101 Fan Club Support# initiated by the program team. However, the program team seemed to have forgotten about it and did not release it until the second public performance was broadcast.
However, due to the recent excitement, apart from the Yanshu fan circle, many bystanders forgot about it. And after the release of this set of photos, Yanshu fans who had been thinking about it suddenly had some complicated emotions...
——【Forum】——[July 23, noon]
【Topic】As expected, not all fans are so moved...
[Main Building] The official photos taken by Yan Shujia’s fan are out. Let’s take a look at what you think [Link] I personally think it’s the photographer who took the photos.

I had completely forgotten about this. Let me quickly conduct a trial!
6L
Emmm, I've finished reading it, but I always feel that this picture is a bit informal. I can't tell what I feel.
19L
Luckily, I only filmed half of it, so it wasn't completely ruined [smile]
37L
Reply to 6L: I understand how you feel. For example, the price of something sold in a small shop is the same as that sold in a flagship store, but the quality always feels different! It feels like an unofficial déjà vu...
55L
No wonder they waited until the end of the second public performance to release it. If they had released it a week in advance, it would have lowered the votes a lot... Maybe they would have been scolded to death by their fans...
74L
I shouldn't have joined in on this fun. I wouldn't have voted for his fan club. Looks like we have to let the production crew's own photographer take care of the filming! [Please]
…
Zhou Xiao on the other end also received the message from Zhang Hongyu. He seemed quite proud. Not only did he send Zhou Xiao the link to the post, he also specially sent Zhou Xiao the screenshots he asked him to take on the forum.
Zhou Xiao: [smile] 6
In Zhou Xiao's memory, Zhang Hongyu was like a restless badger in a melon field. When he was gossiping, he would even take a few bites of his own melons.
