Chapter 177: Pampering Fans
Xu Youyou was also quite helpless in the face of this situation. Ouyang Ouyang beside her immediately explained: "Xiao Song joined the group temporarily and forgot to change his schedule. I'm sorry that you made a wasted trip."
Xie Ran did not accompany Luoyang this time. Ouyang Ouyang seldom interacts with fans and was only concerned with apologizing at this moment, and did not notice the instantly deflated faces of a group of fans at all.
There were a few fans who looked like high school students and their eyes became red when they heard this.
"I saved up money for a long time to buy him a gift to see him..."
"I really, really want to see him..."
Xu Youyou and Xu Fang gave a few instructions, and soon a few buses were dispatched. They also made a phone call to Song Zhibai's assistant.
"Children, let's get in the bus first. The boss will treat everyone to lunch. She has told Teacher Song that she can video chat with everyone at noon when Teacher Song is taking a break." said the staff member.
Several fans were about to leave, but their eyes suddenly lit up when they heard this.
"I was quite angry at first, but they called me a kid..." a fan whispered.
A group of people boarded a bus and drove all the way to the Marriott Hotel in the center of Luoyang.
Xu Youyou asked people to register the fans' mailing addresses and explained, "The company was not well prepared this time. We will mail some of Mr. Song's peripheral products to you later."
"Ah! Boss, you are such a nice person! You treated us to a meal and gave us gifts. I want to become your fan!" a little fan shouted.
Xu Youyou smiled and waved her hands: "Don't be like this, just be a fan of Teacher Xiao Song and I'll thank you."
After lunch, Xu Youyou arranged to use the hotel’s screen projection to allow fans to have a video meeting with Song Zhibai.
"Good afternoon, kids. I am Song Zhibai!" Song Zhibai's face was projected on the screen.
Even though they knew it was still a long way off, the fans at the scene were still so excited that their eyes were filled with tears.
"It's Teacher Xiao Song!"
"Brother Zhibai is so handsome!"
Xu Youyou asked someone to control the atmosphere on the side. Although the entire video meeting only lasted twenty minutes, the fans were very sensible and did not ask any embarrassing questions.
After the meeting was over, Xu Youyou had people distribute gifts to the fans. They were all prepared by her staff on the spur of the moment. There was a cup of milk tea in a small paper bag, as well as small gifts such as chocolate and hand cream.
"I thought it was enough to just mail the gifts, but I didn't expect there would be another gift!" A little fan was so moved that he cried.
There were also fans who had cheered for other stars at the airport. This support was not actually arranged by the company, but a spontaneous act of the fans. They thought it was unlucky that they didn't meet the real star, but they didn't expect to be taken so seriously by Xu Youyou.
"Ms. Xu, will you always support Teacher Song?" the big fan asked courageously.
Xu Youyou nodded, looked into the eyes of the big fan, and said with an extremely serious expression: "Teacher Song is my first signed artist. You may not know that his first short play and first TV series were tailor-made for him by me. In the next two years, there will be a movie tailor-made for him released."
When the fans heard this, their faces turned red with excitement.
Some people became fans of Song Zhibai from the skits. Upon hearing this, they said, "No wonder Mr. Song's skits are so good. Miss Xu, thank you so much!"
When Xu Youyou heard this, she almost forgot her identity as a capitalist. Fans valued the careers of celebrities more than their own lives. Although she did not understand, she expressed her respect.
"The company and Mr. Song have the same career plan. We will let Mr. Song take on the most suitable roles and ensure that every performance he takes is an effective one. Please believe in the company and Mr. Song. We will definitely not let you down."
The fans were so moved that their eyes were red. For career fans, nothing could make them happier than meeting a real person who is willing to work hard on his career. Without any rehearsal, the fans suddenly shouted to Xu Youyou in unison:
"Thank you, boss!"
When Xu Youyou saw that they had also changed their names, she was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She smiled and said, "I should thank you for supporting Teacher Xiao Song."
She also asked the previously rented bus to send the fans home, and this incident became a hot topic on the same day.
#I didn’t pick him up but it seemed like I did# Xu Youyou clicked on this hot search entry, which was a video posted by a fan. The video was shot from the airport all the way to the hotel and the video was connected with Song Zhibai. At the end, a photo was posted of a bag of small gifts in her hand.
"It's not just these gifts. There are also Teacher Song's celebrity peripherals mailed from Shanghai. Teacher Song is so gentle, and Boss Xu is also super sincere. I really want to be a fan of Song Zhibai forever."
This statement was supported by many Song Zhibai fans.
But it also attracted a lot of haters.
"It was obviously Song Zhibai who stood up his fans, but you guys praised him so much. You guys are really easy to please."
"Everyone in the circle knows that Song Zhibai is Xu Youyou's forbidden lover. It's fine if you're not jealous of your real sister-in-law, but you're still so touched. Maybe these two are hiding in the same bed laughing right now."
"Song Zhibai has been the lead actor since he entered the industry. He must have been taken advantage of by Xu Youyou. A grown man hanging out with a rich woman. How disgusting!"
When Song Zhibai's fans heard this, they were furious: "Boss Xu has a keen eye for talent. They are not what you think!"
But the haters are quite capable: "If it weren't for the unspoken rules, who would be the absolute male lead right after debuting? Or is it tailor-made for her? Is Song Zhibai her father? Why does she worship him like this?"
Song Zhibai's fans clicked on the black man's homepage and immediately laughed out of anger. No wonder these people were chasing Song Zhibai relentlessly, it turned out that they were all fans of the rival team.
Rivals in the entertainment industry always come into being very easily, such as Song Zhibai and Gu Shuangbai.
The two had obviously never met each other, nor had they ever competed for the same role, but because of an endorsement, fans became more and more angry, and in the end, both of them were labeled as rivals.
The cause was a high-end luxury watch, which had been in contact with Gu Shuangbai's studio, and had vague intentions of signing an endorsement. It happened that Song Zhibai's TV series became a hit, and it soared to become a phenomenal top star.
The brand quickly abandoned Gu Shuangbai, with whom they had been in contact for a long time, and signed an official contract with Song Zhibai in the shortest time possible. This immediately angered Gu Shuangbai's fans, who started to curse Song Zhibai, and the feud was thus formed.
Song Zhibai’s fans naturally would not let their idol be scolded in vain, so they scolded back on the spot.
"If we really compare unspoken rules, who can compare to Gu Shuangbai? He was the male lead in a TV series produced by a big director when he debuted. Later, he played whatever type of role became popular. His desire to be famous was written all over his face. It's a pity that he is still half-dead." Song Zhibai's fans scolded.
Gu Shuangbai's fans were unhappy and immediately listed his impressive achievements to prove that their brother was the real top star.
Song Zhibai's fans are also very capable: "No matter how many roles your brother plays, he can't change his nature. Whatever Director Sun shoots is a hit, but when it comes to Gu Shuangbai, it's a dud. The first movie grossed 2 billion, but the sequel with Gu Shuangbai only grossed 1 billion. Using the control variable method, we can tell who is lagging behind."
"Sister, why did you forget about Dangai? Others became popular by shooting Dangai, and Gu Shuangbai also shot one, but as soon as he got too excited about it, he issued a statement banning the shooting of Dangai. He is really a bad guy."
Gu Shuangbai's fans were so angry that they broke down on the spot.
But something even more disheartening happened.
Another new term suddenly appeared on the hot search list.
#I received the call but it seemed like I didn’t# Xu Youyou looked at this hot search entry which was a mirror image of Song Zhibai’s and clicked on it immediately. She couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows after taking a look.
