Chapter 91 Chaos
After resting, An Juesui and Ji Qifeng resumed their normal work.
The members heard what happened from their manager and exclaimed in surprise.
"That was a close call..." Jingxing patted his chest, thinking of the scene they described: "This guy is too perverted, fortunately he has been caught."
Jiang Hechu was fiddling with his phone, not knowing what he was doing. When he heard this topic, he looked up and said, "It's even worse than the average illegitimate child. Selling information is completely like scalping. Is this illegal? How will it be sentenced? Have there been any cases in the past?"
Wu Wen thought about the information he had read recently and replied, "Based on the extent of his illegal profiteering, he will probably be sentenced to one to three years."
"Was he also the one who chased the car before?" Shen Xun asked.
Wu Wen nodded: "He sold the information, lured others to chase the car, and waited on the other side. This person is really sick... Forget it, this matter has passed. Everyone should pay more attention in the future and report any abnormalities in time."
An Juesui looked at the news on his phone and said, "It seems we are not the only ones whose information is being sold."
On Weibo, the official account of Wax&Wane released some relevant information about the incident, expressing a clear attitude towards some extreme behaviors, and resolutely not condoning behaviors that harm others in the name of love, and will use the law as a weapon to protect members.
The force of the words makes it clear that the team takes this matter very seriously and will not tolerate it.
The description of the situation made those who truly loved Wax&Wane and never thought of invading their private lives and hurting them feel heartbroken and angry.
[Chasing cars... installing cameras and eavesdropping devices... Help, what kind of life do they live every day? I feel so sorry for them. Isn’t it enough to watch them every day? Why do they have to harass people like this? 】
[The sasaeng is not a fan at all, he is a stalker stk dead pervert. Can you die if you can't see these two eyes? You have to squat every day when you go to work and when you get off work. How would you feel if someone was guarding your door when you go to and from get off work? Can you give people some space and privacy? 】
[And it's very unsafe. What if there's an accident while chasing the car? It's crazy. They're using this profit to make money... They're so anxious to make money that they must be dying, right? 】
As for the crusade against stalkers, from the 18th-tier celebrities to the most popular first-tier artists, everyone has their own tragic history. As soon as the topic comes up, fans who have a little knowledge of this aspect strongly condemn this practice.
The information trafficking was soon exposed, not only limited to Wax&Wane, but also involving many other victims. When fans see their idol’s name appear on the list and that they can get his or her number for a small amount of money, they can guess that he or she has probably been harassed countless times.
Knowing that this kind of behavior will cause great harm to the artists' physical and mental health, they have been busy denouncing private lives and scalpers, and calling for rational star-chasing and keeping a distance. For a while, how idols and fans build a healthy relationship has become a hot topic recently.
When mentioning this topic, it is easy to think of the conversation between writer Yan Xin and former idol Lin Chi Ran in "ANC Special LoVe" not long ago.
[The relationship between Teacher Yan Xin and Lin Chi Ran should be considered an ideal relationship between idols and fans. I wanted to talk about it when I was watching the show. It makes people feel very warm. 】
[Although Lin Chi Ran is no longer an idol, it seems that he is quite mature in this aspect. There are friends around you who like him and use him as motivation and goal for your efforts. Isn’t that great? There is no need to be so close to the idol. 】
[This may be related to the style of the route, but it is indeed worth referring to. Keeping a distance is a good thing for both parties. Being too close to the real person will lead to disillusionment. 】
Everyone has different opinions on these, but the conclusion is the same: the emotions between idols and fans can be admiration, emotion, and love, but should not be greed, jealousy, or covetousness.
The starting point is obviously love, and I don’t want other complicated emotions to make people forget the original intention.
While these issues were still being discussed on the Internet, the members of Wax&Wane had already adjusted their status and devoted themselves to the next work.
"By the way, Brother Wu." An Juesui recalled the audition information he had sent before. He looked around at the few people and landed on Shen Xun. He asked, "Can you send me a copy of the audition information?"
"Hmm? No problem. Which one do you want, the TV series or the animated film?" Wu Wen flipped through the materials he had sorted out before. Jiang Hechu was preparing for the TV series, but no one had asked him for the dubbing of the animated film yet.
Wu Wen looked at the others and asked, "Do you guys want to try it too?"
Jingxing and Ji Qifeng were not interested in this and really had no knowledge or experience, while Jiang Hechu said that he wanted to focus on auditioning for the TV series first.
Shen Xun seemed to be thinking about something, but after thinking for a while he shook his head.

On the other hand, Lin Chiran also arrived at today's shooting site on time. What's special is that the subjects of this shooting are not only the members, but also himself, who has graduated from his idol status for some time.
"I haven't seen you for a few days. It seems like you guys have encountered a lot of things?" At the photo shoot of "Liaoluan" magazine, Han Ruoming spoke to Lin Chiran who had just finished preparing his look.
I have been busy dealing with the follow-up of related matters these days, and as soon as I had some free time, I was squeezed into the filming schedule of "Liao Luan" that I had agreed to a long time ago. Lin Chiran shook his head and smiled helplessly: "Wasn't Director Han in Country B a few days ago? How could he know all this?"
Han Ruoming examined the stage setting and replied, "Your incident has caused quite a stir. People in Country B are also discussing it."
"Oh? Director Han, would you mind telling us about it?" This aroused Lin Chiran's interest. Wax&Wane's distinctive style also increased their popularity abroad. Are the local fans in Country B discussing this?
However, the answer given by Han Ruoming was something Lin Chiran had not expected.
"You know that famous idol agency in Country B, right? They recently launched a new group called Argent." Han Ruoming was invited this time to shoot for the newly debuted idol group Argent.
Lin Chiran nodded. As a large agency with a vague monopoly in Country B's idol industry, it was also somewhat famous in China. As a producer in this industry, he naturally knew them.
However, things have been happening one after another recently, and Lin Chi Ran is too busy to handle it. As for Argent's new group, he doesn't know much about it. Based on Director Han's words, he guessed, "Is this group also facing a similar situation?"
It is said that the private fans in Country B are even crazier than those in China. Lin Chiran had heard about this before. After thinking for a while, he added: "Since they mentioned our group, there must be some connection... Because what happened with similar things?"
Han Ruoming raised her eyes, her eyebrows slightly raised: "You really don't know?"
Lin Chiran was also stunned. He was just guessing. Could it be...
"You guessed right." Han Ruoming sighed, "It happened to be the time when I went to take pictures of them. On the way here, someone was chasing their car. That section of the road happened to be under maintenance and was very narrow, so the car rear-ended another car."
Lin Chiran pressed the issue, “How are the people?” Chasing cars is a dangerous activity that carries a high risk in itself. It’s good luck that no accidents have occurred.
"No one's life is in danger, most of the injuries are not serious. Only one member seemed to have a broken bone. I remember he was Chinese..." Han Ruoming recalled that the photo shoot scheduled for that day was also delayed because of this incident.
Lin Chiran shook his head: "Fortunately, everyone is fine."
"Yeah, it's really unlucky. They encountered such a thing just after their debut. Their group has many announcements later. Their absence at this time will really affect their development." Han Ruoming also felt sorry for what happened to this idol, and was surprised at the madness of the private fans in Country B.
Everything was ready for the shoot, and Han Ruoming changed the subject: "Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's hurry up." To make it convenient for them, Lin Chiran and Wax&Wane's shoot were arranged together today.
Han Ruoming thought he would need some time to adapt as he hadn't shown himself in front of the camera for a long time, but he got into the state unexpectedly quickly.
The moment the filming started, Lin Chiran's expression changed.
Every movement and every look of his caught the camera's attention. Under the lights, he had a confidence that was absolutely not inferior to anyone else, and his powerful aura demonstrated his presence at all times.
He does not need to give too many instructions from the photographer. His perception of the lens and understanding of art drive him to show his charm in the most unique way.
During his idol era, Lin Chi Ran was shining, brilliant and dazzling, and had the ability to pull everyone into his world.
During his producer era, Lin Chi Ran concealed his edge in his own temperament, and his every move was calm and unhurried. The mature charm and youthful ambition were perfectly integrated in him, making people unable to take their eyes off him.
If eyes can reveal a person's inner world, then Lin Chiran's inner world must be the intersection of ideals and reality, burning with a constantly jumping, never-extinguished fire.
Looking directly into his eyes may arouse a great desire to explore. They are too attractive and too complicated, yet they are not like an endless abyss or whirlpool that traps people. Instead, they weave the threads of beautiful dreams, entwining and constructing the dream world.
The shutter never stopped, and under the blazing light, everyone seemed to have come to a fictional world that did not exist, capturing scenes that were impossible to depict and presenting them in the real world.
Browsing the photos she had just taken, Han Ruoming felt the same way and murmured, "I really made the right choice to find you..."
This set of photos is better than any other artist she has photographed in recent times. For an artist who pursues perfection, it is truly an obsessive expressiveness that stimulates the nerves and inspiration.
The number of photos taken has already exceeded the original plan. Thinking that she can only choose a few of them, Han Ruoming is at a loss for a moment.
Seeing that Lin Chiran had finished the filming, Wu Wen also came over with the members of Wax&Wane.
When Han Ruoming saw everyone, she forced herself out of the world she was in, prepared for the next shooting, and talked to the members about the effect she wanted to present this time.
The style of shooting Wax&Wane is somewhat different from that of shooting Lin Chiran. Han Ruoming gave some instructions first, and then the members adjusted the details according to their feelings.
The theme of this photography is charm. When shooting the second MV, Han Ruoming felt that this style was very suitable for them. After actually trying it, the effect was even more amazing than expected.
Looking at this scene, other staff members also had a premonition that these two issues of "Liao Luan" would definitely sell quite well.
