Chapter 159 Bewitching [VIP]
Chapter Summary: I had a wonderfully beautiful dream.
When Mu Zhi saw five fans standing a meter away from her on stage, she appeared very nervous, reserved, and at a loss.
She took the microphone from the staff member and walked towards them.
"Hello everyone." Mu Zhi reached out and shook hands with each of her fans.
Then he handed the microphone to the fan closest to him, "Could you introduce yourself and say hello to the fans in the audience?"
Having just shaken hands with Mu Zhi, the five excited fans introduced themselves one after another.
After listening to the fans' introduction, Mu Zhi learned that the two fans standing closest to her were management members of the global fan club.
The other three fans were selected by the fan club through an event.
Mu Zhi heard Minmin mention the event planned by the fan club, which was only open to fans who managed to snag tickets to the birthday party. The fan club posted a Weibo post specifying that the comments "666", "6666", and "9999" would be the winning comments.
Fans left comments according to the required format, and the fans who won the prizes on these three floors sent their ticket information to the fan club to prove their identity.
On the day of the birthday party, three lucky fans, along with two fan club managers, went on stage to interact closely with Mu Zhi.
After introducing themselves, the three fans said they had brought gifts to give to Muzhi.
The fan club has instructed that Mu Zhi does not accept valuable items, and if she wants to prepare a birthday gift, she can make it herself.
During this period, the three lucky fans received many private messages from fans who wanted them to deliver the gifts they had prepared on their behalf if they didn't have anything to give or hadn't thought of what to give.
The first fan gave Muzhi a hand-drawn comic book.
"Zhizhi, happy birthday! This is a story I drew myself about Muzhi and her fan 'Shuzhi'. I hope you like it..."
Mu Zhi accepted it with both hands: "Thank you."
It's a very thick comic book. I flipped through two pages. The character is a little girl with saplings on her hair, and her fans are cute tree branch sprites. The story depicts her and her fans' adventure in the forest kingdom, which is very childlike.
A smile appeared in Mu Zhi's eyes as she thanked the fan again: "Thank you, I really like it."
The second fan walked up to Mu Zhi, carrying a suitcase.
Mu Zhi looked on with curiosity about what was inside.
When the fans opened the suitcase, Mu Zhi was quite surprised to see that it contained a series of exquisite figurines.
"I made all of these myself." The fan introduced each figurine to Mu Zhi one by one: "This is A Ying from 'The Bell Ringer'."
Pointing to the second figurine: "This is Zhou Can from 'Back to 17'..."
There are also the female leads of "The Edge of the Blade" and "Countdown", and the last one is Wu Xi, who has been officially announced but not yet released in "Escape from the Game". This is based on leaked photos.
"The first four were made after I finished watching each work's release. Wu Xi's movie was made in the last half month because it hasn't been released yet, so it's a bit rough."
The character figurine that Mu Zhi picked up was "Wu Xi". Judging from the accuracy of the expression and clothing, it was very detailed. The fans were being modest. "No, it's very beautiful."
The little girl breathed a sigh of relief, two adorable dimples appearing on her round face: "Zhizhi, I hope you will like this birthday gift, and I look forward to you bringing us more works and roles."
Mu Zhi smiled and nodded: "Thank you for the gift, I like it very much."
This is a very precious and memorable gift.
The third gift a fan prepared for Muzhi was a wooden comb.
"My family runs a wooden comb business, and I learned to make a comb myself at the factory..."
Mu Zhi took the comb from the fan. It felt nice to the touch and had a faint fragrance of wood. The comb was decorated with colorful patterns of branches and leaves, making it a very delicate and beautiful wooden comb.
Each fan's gift was carefully prepared, carrying their heartfelt wishes and best blessings for Muzhi.
Finally, there was a gift prepared by the fan club for Mu Zhi, which was a charity donation of 52,000 yuan to a tree planting and sand control project in Mu Zhi's name.
Many fans participate in charity events to celebrate their idols' birthdays, hoping to bring good fortune to their idols and demonstrate the positive influence of their idols on their fans, thus contributing to a better society.
Thank you.
"I've also prepared gifts for you."
The staff brought up the gifts that Mu Zhi had given to the fans who wanted to interact with her on stage.
It's a gift set from the products endorsed by Mu Zhi, containing a set of skincare products worth over a thousand yuan, a lipstick, and a signed hat.
After handing the gifts to the five fans, Mu Zhi hugged each of them, took individual photos with each of them, and then took a group photo.
Next, a video message of blessings from fans was played.
Fan clubs across the country organized local fans to record videos of them singing "Happy Birthday" to Mu Zhi on her birthday.
After the video ended, two girls from the fan club went up to light the candles on the cake and let Muzhi make a wish.
Then, the five fans on stage and all the fans in the audience sang a birthday song for Mu Zhi in unison, creating a wonderful atmosphere.
Mu Zhi closed her eyes and made a wish.
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you...
Tens of thousands of people sang in unison, their voices echoing throughout the venue.
It possesses a warm power that touches the heart.
In the original world and in this world, tonight is Mu Zhi's first birthday party.
Actually, today isn't her birthday, it's the original owner's birthday, but tonight she received so many blessings and thoughtfully prepared gifts.
Listening to the fans singing their blessings in unison, Mu Zhi, who rarely showed her emotions, couldn't help but reveal her feelings of gratitude on her face. After making her wish, she opened her eyes and blinked to calm herself down.
He blew out the candles in front of his fans.
Mu Zhi had another song to sing, but for the sake of her image, she only ate a little cream with a spoon and cut a cake for each of her five fans.
Staff members came up and pushed the cake cart off the platform. The five fans said goodbye to Muzhi, and left happily and reluctantly with their gifts in hand.
The fans in the audience were so envious they cried.
Mu Zhi walked towards the edge of the stage with the microphone, getting closer to the fans below the stage.
She asked with a smile and a teasing tone, "Do you want gifts too?"
"Yes!" The response wasn't very enthusiastic.
Because the fans in the audience knew there were so many of them, they received a gift just like the five fans, but that didn't happen.
Besides, they had already received gifts; Mu Zhi had placed a gift bag on each person's seat. They couldn't be too greedy, and they didn't want to put Mu Zhi in a difficult position.
"Actually, I have prepared a gift for every fan who came to the venue tonight."
Before the announcement, Mu Zhi called out to her friend sitting in the audience.
"I'm so happy that my friends came to my birthday party today."
When Zhou Jingzhu and Liu Cai were called upon in the audience, they stood up gracefully, waved to the fans behind them, and then blew a kiss to Mu Zhi.
Mu Zhi obediently extended her hand and clenched her fist, indicating that she had caught their kisses. "Received."
This brought smiles to the faces of the fans in the audience. Seeing their idol getting along well with her friends made them happy for her, and they hoped she would be surrounded by love.
After mentioning her friends in the audience, Mu Zhi looked at the fans below the stage and then announced a mysterious surprise for each and every fan:
"All the ticket revenue from tonight's birthday party will be donated to charity in the name of 'Muzhi fans,' and the donation record and certificate will be posted on Weibo at that time."
The fans in the audience were completely stunned and speechless.
They came to celebrate their idol's birthday. The fan club, representing all the fans, donated 52,000 yuan to charity in Mu Zhi's name. As a result, Mu Zhi wanted to donate a hundred times that amount to charity in their own name.
This decision was definitely not a spur-of-the-moment thing, but rather something that was decided before the birthday party was even held.
The idol's love touched the fans, making them feel valued and cherished.
Mu Zhi is so skilled, so ambitious, and so good to them! Ahhhhh, what an amazing idol she is!
The live stream camera panned down to the audience, where many fans were wiping away tears and sobbing.
Mu Zhi disliked sentimentality and said with a smile, "I owe my success to the support of every single one of you. You have done so much for me, and there is very little I can do for you in return."
"Let's have a happy time tonight, okay?"
"Okay." The fans in the audience responded with tears in their voices.
"I heard you've been practicing 'Us' a lot lately, is that right?"
The fans in the audience answered in unison: "Yes."
"Next, let's sing 'Us' together."
As the music began, the backdrop on the stage transformed into a towering tree with lush foliage. A gentle breeze seemed to be blowing, causing the branches and leaves to sway and stretch out comfortably.
Mu Zhi stood under the "big tree" and waved her hand.
The fans in the audience waved glow sticks and sang the song together, crying as they finished.
Then I realized this was the last song.
Emerging from the touching moment when Mu Zhi donated money in the name of her fans, the audience was overwhelmed with reluctance to part, and the entire audience shouted "Encore!"
The birthday party had actually been going on for over an hour.
But tonight went by too fast. The fans didn't want it to end so soon. They hadn't had enough of their idols singing or watching their performances on stage.
"Encore! Encore!"
Mu Zhi looked helpless, but said in a doting tone, "But I only prepared these 5 songs, and I don't know any other songs."
It means that they are willing but unable to meet the fans' requests for a return performance.
Fans in the audience: "......"
Mu Zhi: "Thank you again for coming to my birthday party and for spending a wonderful and pleasant evening with me. Idol Mu Zhi's stage performance has come to a successful end!"
"Please be careful on your way back, bye-bye."
After speaking, he bowed to the fans and waved.
The fans below the stage watched Mu Zhi's figure disappear from the stage, as if they had just had a wonderful dream that had come to an end.
They returned to reality in a daze.
He Zhiyue, who was sitting in the audience, had just woken up from a "dream". He originally planned to get up and leave when Mu Zhi said goodbye to the fans, and get out before the large number of fans.
It's getting late.
He Zhiyue thought to herself: Oh no! She quickly raised her hand to press down the brim of her hat, stood up and hurriedly walked towards the exit behind her.
The two girls with high ponytails beside her wiped away their tears, watching He Zhiyue's departing figure.
One of the girls whispered to her companion, "This male fan is so strange. He wore a mask the whole time, didn't take any pictures or shout, but his eyes were always fixed on the big screen. He was watching so intently."
"Do you think he's completely smitten with Zhibao?"
Another girl chuckled, thinking it was normal: "But don't you think this person looks familiar? Like I've seen him somewhere before?"
"No way, we can't even see his face. If he were a male celebrity, he definitely wouldn't be sitting in the middle seat. If he were recognized, Zhibao would probably be dragged into rumors again."
The two then dispelled their doubts and stood up.
The birthday concert was over, but they were still reeling from all the surprises of the night and felt a sense of emptiness inside.
It was peak time for people to leave the venue, and there was a large crowd in front of them.
The two girls with high ponytails weren't in a hurry to squeeze into the crowd and leave. They slowly lagged behind the crowd, busy scrolling through Weibo.
The internet is buzzing with excitement.
Several related topics about Mu Zhi were trending on Weibo's hot search list.
#Muzhi's Birthday Party# is the number 1 trending topic.
#MuzhiPinkPurpleHair# is the 10th most searched topic.
#MuzhiDancing# is the 26th most searched topic.
......
The top trending topic was a video clip of Mu Zhi's performance of the first song at her birthday party, edited together by a marketing account that claimed to have smelled meat.
It was posted an hour ago and has already garnered over 2 million views.
Top-rated comments in the comment section:
"Wow, Mu Zhi dyed her hair pink? Her idol-like look is way better than any other girl group idols."
"Watching the video brought back memories of 'Chasing the Light Girl.' If Mu Zhi hadn't withdrawn from the competition, who knows who would have ended up debuting as the center between her and Xia Xinyan?"
"Holy crap! Although her singing isn't outstanding, with Mu Zhi's looks, figure, dance skills, and charisma, becoming a top idol is no problem at all. She's truly God's favorite!"
"Mu Zhi is beautiful and cool, and her singing and dancing skills are pretty good. But why is she at a concert? I still prefer her acting. When will her new movie be released?"
......
Although the video clearly shows Mu Zhi's face and dance compared to the actual birthday party, the atmosphere of the event can only be truly experienced by being there in person.
After browsing through several trending topics, Mu Zhi has become a go-to figure tonight thanks to her beauty and talent, with several memorable moments...
The two girls with high ponytails received so many beautiful pictures of their idols that their hands were sore.
Finally, we arrived at the super topic.
Fans who couldn't attend the birthday party tonight cried loudly and were deeply moved. They were so moved they forgot all about admiring the actors' good looks.
"Zhibao donated all the proceeds from her birthday party tickets to charity in the name of her fans (tears). She paid for the entire birthday party herself (tears). She also released a single and spent two months preparing for the birthday party (tears). I'm so in love with this woman, I'll never be able to get out of this pit for the rest of my life."
"Judging from the scale of tonight's birthday party, it must have cost at least several million to organize. Zhi Bao paid for the entire birthday party out of her own pocket to invite fans to listen to her sing. How can she be so kind (tears)"
"Thank you, Mu Zhi, for making my four-year fan's life complete, yet leaving me with a lingering sense of loss. Even if Mu Zhi hadn't become an actress, she would definitely be an outstanding idol now. I love her stage performances so much."
"Is it possible for Zhibao to consider setting aside some time for her idol career? I'm absolutely obsessed with idol Muzhi tonight, please!"
......
Although the idol didn't say it directly at the birthday party, most fans understood:
The birthday party that Mu Zhi organized was to make up for the earliest fans, and at the same time, to completely say goodbye to the idol identity and focus on her acting career from now on.
Sigh, it's a happy ending, but also a little sad.
They decided to quickly find the live stream replay of the birthday party and watch it several times!
After the concert.
Mu Zhi, Ji Binghe, their team members, some staff members related to the birthday party, and several guests and friends from the event went to a pre-booked restaurant for a celebration banquet.
