[Chapter 25, Encounter at the Airport]
At 6 o'clock in the evening, the five FTM members and Xu Baichuan drove to the airport together.
After arriving at the airport, Fang Yinnian saw through the car window many fans holding banners. On the dark green banners were written the three words "Tao Yizhou". It was obvious that they were there to see Tao Yizhou off.
Fang Yinnian was somewhat envious: "Tao Yizhou has so many fans. They went to the stadium to cheer him on during rehearsals and even came to see him off at the airport after the performance."
Fu Fei said: "He has a nice voice, good looks, and can write his own songs. He has a lot of die-hard fans. It's rare to see a singer with over a million comments on Weibo."
Xu Baichuan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, frowned and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Mo Xun noticed the change in his agent's expression from the rearview mirror and asked, "Brother Xu, what's wrong?"
Xu Baichuan coughed lightly and said, "It doesn't matter if you gossip about other artists in private, but don't mention it in public. Especially Tao Yizhou, you'd better not have any contact with him. His fans are notoriously cruel."
Five people: “…”
Although they all belong to Shengyao Media, their agents are different and they can't even be considered "colleagues". There must be a very powerful marketing team behind Tao Yizhou's popularity. In addition, he has a lot of loyal fans, so their small and obscure group can't afford to offend him.
Fu Fei immediately promised: "I will never mention him in public."
Mo Xun said: "Don't worry, Brother Xu, apart from the company's concert, we have no chance to contact him at other times."
Xu Baichuan nodded: "Well, it's better to be cautious."
The car drove past the group of fans who were seeing them off and stopped in the departure hall.
For the return trip, Xu Baichuan asked his assistant to buy first-class tickets, and everyone boarded the plane through the VIP channel after passing security check. Mo Xun and Fang Yinnian sat next to each other, Mo Xun by the window and Fang Yinnian by the aisle.
Mo Xun put his luggage away and walked to the window seat and sat down. Fang Yinnian was just about to sit down when he suddenly saw a tall man wearing sunglasses and a mask walking in.
A group of people followed behind him.
The man passed by Fang Yinnian, and the group of people following him rushed over like a swarm of bees. Fang Yinnian was squeezed so hard that he staggered and almost fell.
Mo Xun reacted quickly. Almost at the moment when Fang Yinnian was hit, he immediately stood up and pulled Fang Yinnian over, whispering, "You sit inside."
Before Fang Yinnian could react to what was happening, Mo Xun pushed him down onto the window seat.
He looked up blankly and met Mo Xun's calm eyes.
Mo Xun closed the door curtain with a swish, sat down in the aisle seat, leaned close to Fang Yinnian's ear and said, "Illegitimate fan."
As expected, those who rushed onto the plane crowded into the aisle at the back row, surrounding the celebrity wearing sunglasses, taking videos close to his face and shouting, "Zhou Zhou, look here~" and "Zhou Zhou is so handsome!"
Fang Yinnian: “…”
Private fans? Fang Yinnian’s mind was full of question marks.
The group of people who suddenly rushed up just now almost knocked him down. If Mo Xun hadn't reacted quickly, he wouldn't know what to do. It's just taking a plane, how can it sound like marching to war?
His mind was still confused. Fortunately, the first-class cabin's door curtain isolated this small space. Fang Yinnian took a deep breath to adjust his mood, leaned close to Mo Xun's ear and asked softly, "What is a stalker?"
Mo Xun turned his head to look at him.
Fang Yinnian's eyes were clear, as if to say "I don't understand these terms."
It seems that he doesn't pay attention to the entertainment industry at all, let alone the fan circle, so he doesn't understand these situations.
Mo Xun chuckled, leaned close to his ear and patiently explained, "Private fans are those who buy celebrities' private schedules through underground channels, catch up with them on planes and in hotels, have a very strong desire to spy on celebrities, disregard celebrities' personal privacy, and like to invade celebrities' private lives - they are an extremely crazy group of people."
Fang Yinian's palace was shocked: "Catch up with the plane, and chase to the hotel?"
Mo Xun lowered his voice and said, "Some time ago, an actor attended an event and a stalker followed him to the hotel, pretending to be a waiter and delivering fruit to his room in the middle of the night. He was so scared that he called the police on the spot and changed hotels overnight. This incident even became a hot topic. Some stalkers are really scary."
Fang Yinnian: “…”
It’s increased, it’s increased my knowledge.
The stern voice of the security guard came from the side: "Please go back to your seats and maintain order. Don't disturb other passengers!" "Please go back to your seats. If you don't sit down, I will call the police!"
Thanks to the efforts of several security guards, the group was finally persuaded to return to their seats.
Fu Fei exclaimed in the FTM group of five: "Fuck, I'm so scared! A bunch of people are coming! Tao Yizhou actually got on the plane with these illegitimate children. What is his agent doing?"
Tan Junwen asked curiously, "Are the private fans so exaggerated nowadays?"
Fu Fei said: "Tao Yizhou is one of the most rampant celebrities with illegitimate children. We are unlucky that his father opened the door for us. We just happened to be on the same flight back to Jiangzhou with him."
Tang Che sent two words: "Bad luck."
Fang Yinnian: “…”
In his impression, fans mostly leave messages on Weibo, while the more loyal ones will go offline to cheer them on. There were even fans who caught up with the plane and stood next to it to take pictures with his face, and who chased to the hotel and knocked on the door in the middle of the night to give him fruits.
——This was the first time he saw a live sasaeng fan.
The impact was so frightening that Fang Yinnian still feels a little scared.
Mo Xun noticed that Fang Yinnian looked pale, so he gently squeezed the back of his hand and whispered in his ear, "Are you scared?"
Fang Yinnian shook his head: "No, I'm just a little shocked."
Mo Xun said sullenly, "Tao Yizhou's team is really stupid. The flight information has been leaked everywhere. It's like a sieve."
Fang Yinnian hurriedly looked at Mo Xun and whispered in his ear, "Stop scolding me, and keep your voice down."
Mo Xun endured it and didn't continue to curse.
A message from Xu Baichuan came into the group: "There are many illegitimate children on this flight. When we arrive in Jiangzhou, let Tao Yizhou go first, and we will leave last."
Five people sent out “received” emoticons one after another.
There are several flights from Ya'an to Jiangzhou every day, and Xu Baichuan didn't expect to be on the same flight with Tao Yizhou.
I guess the little guys were scared? Xu Baichuan consoled him, "There are always a certain number of sasaeng fans on websites with high traffic. Sasaeng fans only follow certain stars, and generally won't randomly post other people's photos or videos. It's none of your business, just ignore it."
When the five people saw this, they finally felt a little relaxed.
Hearing the broadcast that the plane was about to take off, Fang Yinnian put on noise-canceling headphones and closed his eyes silently.
He felt like a rookie who had just entered the world of martial arts, and gradually experienced the complexity of the "entertainment industry".
At 11 o'clock in the evening, the flight arrived at Jiangzhou International Airport on time.
Tao Yizhou was the first to get off the plane. The airport security team received the news in advance and escorted him away quickly, stopping those illegitimate children on the plane. The five people from FTM waited until he left before leaving the airport through the VIP channel.
At 12 o'clock sharp, the nanny car took them to the basement of the apartment.
Everyone returned to the dormitory with their luggage.
As soon as he entered the room, Tan Junwen immediately collapsed on the sofa with his limbs spread out, and said with emotion: "I'm finally home, I'm so tired!"
Fu Fei smiled and said, "Why don't we go home? Why do I suddenly feel that this dormitory is so familiar?"
Fang Yinnian had the same idea.
The agent took them to Ya'an on the 10th, and they were away for a full 9 days.
After coming back today, I looked at the familiar furniture - Junwen's easel on the balcony, Xiaofei's PS game controller on the coffee table, the cabinet next to the dining room was filled with Tang Che's favorite tea, and Mo Xun's guitar was placed next to the TV cabinet.
Fang Yinnian inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity in his heart.
I didn't feel reluctant when I left, but I suddenly felt relieved when I came back.
This is where they lived together for 40 days and it was their FTM "little home". Here they can speak freely, lie on the sofa without caring about their image, and don't have to worry about the comments and gazes of others.
Fu Fei started to complain: "Tao Yizhou's group of illegitimate fans are really scary. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and immediately pulled the curtain. What the hell, do they know how to respect others? I really want to smash their phones."
Tan Junwen scratched his head and said, "I don't understand this behavior at all. With that much time and money, why not do something else?"
Fang Yinnian didn’t quite understand this behavior.
Mo Xun smiled and said, "The key to the number of sasaeng fans lies in the artist's team. If the team behind the scenes takes good security measures and does not leak so many schedules, sasaeng fans will not be too rampant. There is actually an industry chain behind this."
Fang Yinnian was shocked: "Is there still an industrial chain?"
Mo Xun said: "There are scalpers who specialize in selling celebrity itineraries to make money. For example, who is who on which flight to which place, and which hotel to stay at on which date of month? The scalpers spend money to buy these itineraries from the scalpers, and then they can buy tickets for the same flight, stay at the same hotel, and spy on and take photos of the celebrity up close."
Mo Xun paused, then continued, "Some people even find out the addresses of celebrities' families, their parents' workplaces, etc. I heard that some people even go to harass other people's parents. They are really sick."
Everyone: “…”
Damn, has this become an industrial chain? !
Since entering the entertainment industry, Fang Yinnian has been refreshing his cognition every day.
It was the first time he knew that the UP host of Bilibili would actually remove the accompaniment and complain about the singer's singing word by word; it was the first time he knew that there were a large number of "stock buying fans"; and it was also the first time he encountered a real "private fan".
The moment he was bumped by the stalker today, his mind went blank and he didn't understand what was going on. He thought it was just a passerby in a hurry who was acting crazy while sitting on a plane.
Fortunately, Mo Xun is here. Mo Xun reacted very quickly to these situations and pulled him to sit by the window.
Fang Yinnian let out a breath of fear, looked at Mo Xun and said, "Thank you just now, I didn't even react."
Mo Xun smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite to me? I'm just afraid that you'll get hurt by them. Those people don't know what politeness is."
The boy in front of me is indeed a very responsible captain. If I encounter a situation that I can't handle in the future, at least he is here - Fang Yinnian suddenly felt a lot more at ease when he thought of this.
Tan Junwen rubbed his sore shoulders and asked, "We have classes starting tomorrow, right? What's the schedule?"
As he was speaking, a new class schedule appeared in the group.
Previously, she suspended dance lessons and focused on vocal music in order to prepare for her tenth anniversary debut. The new course schedule really made them catch up on dance lessons. They started dance lessons at 8 a.m. every day, had vocal music in the afternoon, and continued dance lessons in the evening, going to bed at 11 p.m.
Xu Baichuan said: "We should do both and lay a good foundation for me."
The five people replied in unison: "Got it."
The schedule of courses was packed, and getting up early and going to bed late was comparable to the college entrance examination sprint. Tan Junwen's hope of sleeping in was instantly shattered.
Tan Junwen hugged his pillow and sighed, "Oh, I guess I won't be able to sleep in for the rest of my life."
Fang Yinnian asked curiously, "Junwen, your father said that you wanted to be a painter since you were a child, why did you suddenly join a boy band?"
Tan Junwen scratched his messy hair and said, "I just don't like my life being planned by my parents."
Fu Fei was surprised and said, "I didn't expect you to be so rebellious!"
Tan Junwen said helplessly: "I was forced to learn painting when I was a child. Isn't my mother a publishing editor? She hopes that I can publish my own collection of paintings in the future, and she can give me a lot of help."
“They even wanted me to hold my own exhibition.”
"In fact, I don't have much talent in painting. Every time I pick up a pen, I get a headache. During the bottleneck period, I can't find any inspiration at all. The painting is a bunch of shit. It's probably hard for you to understand the pain."
Tang Che nodded: "It's really hard to understand. After all, I can't draw dog shit."
Everyone: “…”
Tan Junwen sat up suddenly: "Tang Che, can you grasp the key points?"
Mo Xun interrupted him with a smile: "Okay, stop arguing, it's understandable that your painting inspiration has run out. But what I don't understand is that you won an award in "Youth Rap Class" last year, why don't you continue to pursue a career in rap?"
Tan Junwen sighed deeply, "Isn't this a scam by Old Xu? I thought Shengyao signed me to train me to be a solo rapper, but I didn't expect them to let me join a boy band as the rap leader, and I didn't expect it to be a music group? I have to learn harmony from scratch, damn it."
Everyone: “…”
I can't sympathize with you for more than three seconds.
Fang Yinnian couldn't help but laugh and said, "It seems that Brother Xu is very good at fooling people. I was also fooled into coming here by him."
Tang Che said calmly: "Same."
Fu Fei scratched his head: "So, Brother Mo and I are the only ones who wanted to form a boy band from the beginning?"
Mo Xun and Fu Fei were both trainees and were originally planning to be in an idol boy group. The other three joined the boy group purely by chance, but everyone just wanted to seize this opportunity and debut as soon as possible.
Mo Xun concluded: "The netizens are right, we do support the amateur team."
The five of them looked at each other and laughed together.
What else can I do? The team has already been set up, we can’t just tear it down and start over.
As if it was destined, the five of them inexplicably came together and became the harmony group FTM. Although the process was outrageous, their debut was off to a good start.
The moment they stood together and sang on the first stage, everyone began to accept this group a little bit.
Their way of singing in harmony seems pretty good, right?
Anyway, we have already debuted as a group, so we can only keep going.
Mo Xun stood up and said, "Okay, let's go to bed. The variety show schedule will be announced tomorrow, and I have a lot of classes to attend. I'm officially debuting now, and it's only going to get busier and busier from now on."
Fu Fei smiled and said, "An artist who is too idle means that he is already obscure. The busier we are, the more popular we will be!"
Tan Junwen agreed: "That sounds pretty good."
Everyone lined up to take a shower and sleep.
They are in the early stages of their careers, so it's better for them to stay busy.
