42 Admission
The debut concert opened at 6pm and officially started at 8pm. Zheng Xiyan arrived at 2pm and waited for people at the entrance square of the stadium under the still scorching sun in Beijing after autumn.
From time to time, beautifully dressed girls passed by her in twos and threes, all with more or less blue elements on their bodies. The girls put on exquisite makeup to see Zidan, and the chattering sounded full of excitement and nervousness.
A friend sent me a message on his mobile phone: "I'm getting off the subway, wait for me for two minutes."
“I saw you!”
In the distance, a beautiful girl in a dark blue dress walked quickly towards Zheng Xiyan. He didn't rush to recognize her as a relative when they met, but first took a closer look at her eye makeup. The cobalt blue glitter flickered with the trembling of her eyelashes.
A friend commented: "Your love for Yan Fan has improved your makeup skills."
“Aren’t you the same?” She pulled her friend’s backpack. On the bag chain hung a card holder decorated with a starry blue pompom and a blue bow of the Yuanxin family. The card that her friend hung outside to show off was the limited-time Zhou Xiaocard of the Fourth Public Performance. Yes, this person not only got the invitation letter of the Fourth Public Performance and went to the scene, but also won the prize of Pei Zijin.
The weekly photo cards for the fourth public show are limited to the summer for the trainees. Pei Zijin's card features a selfie of him wearing a white shirt and winking while holding a soda straw. This version of the photo card is a reprint of the trainees' Polaroid selfies taken with tear-off film. Tear-off film is known as the most restored photo, infinitely close to the trainees' beauty that can be seen with the naked eye offline. The film alone costs hundreds of dollars per card, and this version of the photo card has also been sold at an unprecedented high price online.
There is still a high price but no demand for it. The other photos that my friends randomly got were not their own, but they were too beautiful to be sold, which made Zheng Xiyan very envious.
A friend covered this small card with three layers of film before putting it in a card holder and taking it out for display. Zheng Xiyan was also very sensible and only admired it from the outside of the card holder. She was wearing armor today and there was no way she would touch the body of the small card.
The two have always been star-chasing partners. Even if their one picks are different, it does not affect their common belief that Yan Pei must be the one to debut tonight.
As for the remaining trainees, Zheng Xiyan is optimistic about Su Chen. She is a career-oriented person and also loves lead dancers and lead singers when chasing stars. Her friend hopes that Jin Zeyu will be in the last spot so that she can support the weird Pei Yan and Jin trio CP.
The two of them followed the guide and entered together. It was only two o'clock in the afternoon, but there were already many people gathered at the entrance square.
From a distance, you can see the flower walls organized by various fan clubs. The trainees’ birthday support colors are unique, and from a distance, it looks like a sea of flowers of varying shades of blue.
The big screen at the entrance of the venue was also changed to a carousel of 25 trainees' stage cuts. A friend pulled Zheng Xiyan's clothes and said, "Go get the support gift pack first, and come back to check in later while there are fewer people."
It was still very sunny in the square at this moment. Most of the fans who arrived first were huddled in the shade of the venue building to rest and exchange messages. There were not many people checking in and taking photos in the cheering square, and there were no long queues at the locations where the various fan clubs were distributing gift bags.
Zheng Xiyan had already prepared screenshots of Yan Fan's personal account and the fan club's account, screenshots of the completed data task check-in, and she opened the super topic on the spot to show her gorgeous sign-in for more than a hundred days. Since she joined the show at the first public performance, her sign-in days are even longer than those of the girls in the fan club. The girl in charge of distributing the support gift packages happily handed her a heavy sky blue handbag.
As the first time to support, the conditions and location for receiving the gift packs were announced long ago on the fan club’s account. It is much more relaxed than other offline support activities that Zheng Xiyan has chased before. Since the trainees have not debuted yet, the conditions for receiving the gift packs this time have very low requirements for the super topic level, and no krypton gold record is required.
Then, the friend also received Pei Zijin's gift package. They both met the requirements of several families. Although none of the families had a clear requirement that they could only receive gift packages from one family, they both felt that carrying several bags in their hands seemed too fickle.
After checking in at the roll-up banner, flower wall and big screen in their beautiful attire, the two of them decisively walked into the coffee shop where the flow of people began to increase gradually. After finding a seat, they opened the fan club gift packs first.
According to the announcement from the fan club, the tissues, banners and small bottles of drinking water in here are thoughtful preparations of the fan club. The remaining key chains, hairpins, Baji postcards, Fanzhou Xiaoka acrylics and even a large-capacity power bank are all generous donations from the wealthy sisters. The fan club members in Beijing spent the whole day yesterday just packing them.
Pei Zijin's banner reads: "Full fire on the stage, Zijin steps on the moon and plucks stars." Yan Fan's banner reads: "The momentum is like the exploding dance of a swallow, and flowers cover the debut night." The fan club kindly reminds you that you can shout slogans as much as you want before going on stage.
After taking photos of the fan club gift package and putting it away, her friend took out a bunch of free gifts for exchange from the big bag she was carrying. Zheng Xiyan helped her hold the bag as usual, mainly to protect the precious little card on the bag. She watched her take out her share and stuff it into Zheng Xiyan's small backpack, and then started to set up a stall and shout.
In an instant, a group of people gathered in the coffee shop. The friendship between colleagues came so quickly.
The easiest things to give out are of course the various small cards. These printed small cards serve as a bonus to most of the free materials used for distribution and exchange. Even if you don't bring any free materials to exchange, you can still get a full stack by walking around in the crowd of people exchanging support.
Most of the free support materials are exclusive to each show, and fans who bring them are afraid that they will not be able to send them all. According to Cheng Xiyan's experience, even after entering the venue and taking a seat, she will often receive fan cards from people around her.
The most popular ones are the fans made by friends themselves.
Not only is it extremely practical in this weather, the fan surface is also very interesting. After seeing the grating eye strip designed by Yuanxin, Yigong's friend quickly got the new technology and made the fan surface of the fan into a grating material. When he held it in his hand and fanned it, it was exactly the popular animated picture of Pei Zijin's killing part.
Immediately, one of the colleagues couldn't let go of the fan after seeing it. After looking left and right, he found that there was nothing in his underwear that could match this genius fan. He squatted in front of the two of them and collapsed: "Ahhh, I want to change it! Otherwise, I'll transfer some money to you!"
Zheng Xiyan and her friend were so touched by the cute little girl that they kept saying, "It's okay, it's okay, just take it if you like it."
Unfortunately, the transparent fans were too big to carry, so only about 20 of them could be distributed, and they were snapped up in an instant, and a lot of various fan week were exchanged for them. Long after they were all sold out, Pei Zijin's fans kept coming to him after seeing the replaced transparent fans, and left disappointed after hearing that they were gone.
The bags of Zheng Xiyan and her friend were filled up with the merchandise they exchanged for. Her friend smiled bitterly and said, "If I had known, I would have brought a suitcase like I did when I went to that person's concert last time."
Just now I saw outside that Yuanxin has set up a bag storage area at the entrance of the venue. If you bring a suitcase, you can leave it at the door. Although this will slow down your entry and exit, you don’t have to carry a big bag in like you do now.
Fortunately, it was held in a stadium. If it was a livehouse, it would have been many times more difficult.
More than two hours had passed since the exchange of support, and people gradually began to line up at the entrance of the venue. Zheng Xiyan and her friend bought tickets for the inner field. Yuanxin allowed up to five identities to be entered when grabbing tickets together. The two of them were lucky enough to buy tickets for the inner field. They found their way through the rows according to their ticket numbers and found themselves in the sixth row, about ten meters away from the stage.
"A four-sided table." My friend sighed for a second before sitting down, "I wonder how my rice-spreading skills are improving."
Zheng Xiyan was already very skilled at feeling around the stage from under the seat. This bag was bigger than the ones in the previous performances. After opening it, she took out a battery first.
My friend leaned over to take a look and said, "It's adapted for the cheering stick. It's probably because they're afraid the concert will be too long and the battery won't be enough."
At this stage, Yuan Xiao is short of money and cannot afford to send out 10,000 cheering sticks, but he can still prepare batteries for the fans who come to the scene.
Then there was a larger rectangular piece of paper. Zheng Xiyan took it out and saw that it was a commemorative ticket stub for her debut concert.
The front is a star-studded frosted material with the words "Idol Unnamed" in cursive calligraphy, the concert's ticket number and time, and a string of numbers in the lower left corner. Zheng Xiyan compared the numbers with her friends and found that the numbers on each ticket were different.
It's super limited again.
Zheng Xiyan let out a soft cry when she turned the ticket over. On the back of the ticket was a group photo of the trainees wearing their uniforms after the first theme song rehearsal. Teachers like Yuan Xiao and Gu Yuchen were also standing on the side. Twenty-five trainees were crowded together in a big group on the initial version of the stage. Everyone was hugging each other and laughing happily. It was the beginning of everything, and also like the finale.
Damn it! Just looking at this ticket stub, Zheng Xiyan felt tears welling up in her eyes.
The tissues prepared in the fan club gift package were indeed very foresighted. She couldn't even imagine how much she would cry today.
Then came the limited edition small card session that is a must in every show. Zheng Xiyan rubbed her hands and made a wish as soon as a Yan Fan small card was sent out.
She held her breath and slowly, slowly pulled out the last thin card from the bag, using her hand to cover the surface of the card bit by bit.
“yes!”
Zheng Xiyan cheered a little. There was only one small card in the field of 10,000 people, which was a one in 25 chance. She was so lucky that she could take it. She could even say that she took it.
Maybe it’s the law of conservation of luck. The friend next to him was not as lucky as the fourth public player. It was Yu Le’s card. Although she also liked it, it was still a bit sad that there was no Xiao Pei card, especially when someone around him won.
This time, Yan Fan's card is hard instead of the previous paper one. On the card is a selfie of Yan Fan with his arms outstretched on the stage. His pair of star-like eyes seem to be able to see the person opposite through the camera. Zheng Xiyan is admiring her new card happily. She became a fan of Yan Fan because of his unparalleled vitality when he was on the stage. The hard card is not afraid of being scratched by nails, which is really a good review.
However, she turned it over and over again and still couldn't find any special technology in this card. This is not right. The peripheral products produced by Genshin Impact have always been famous for their rich imagination and black technology. This final card should have been more sophisticated, right?
Zheng Xiyan looked left and right but couldn't figure out what technology was used. Just as she was about to take out her phone to see if anyone in the super topic had figured it out, the card in her hand accidentally touched the phone, and a notification popped up on the screen.
"Huh?" Zheng Xiyan was surprised and quickly touched her friend next to her, "This time it's an NFC card!"
The two of them put their heads together to study it. They clicked on the push bar that popped up automatically when they brought the small card close to the phone, turned on the NFC receiving setting of the phone, and automatically loaded a recording.
Zheng Xiyan was too lazy to look for headphones in her bag. Since she was surrounded by fans, she simply turned on the speakers. Yan Fan's clear and pleasant voice came out from the speaker of her phone:
"Hello, well, thank you to everyone who came to support us, but every journey has an end. No matter what the result is after today, I... love you very much, I love everyone very much."
Yu Le Xiaoka also left a message, and his younger brother's voice was full of energy: "Hello, hello, I will definitely! Definitely! Definitely debut today! I won't let you down!"
The two looked up at each other and saw each other's red eyes.
It's over, the show hasn't even started yet, bastard Yuan Xin, please compensate me for my tears and the careful makeup I put on today!
