Chapter 175: Pampering Fans
Chapter 175: Pampering Fans
Xu Youyou felt helpless in the face of this situation. Ouyang Ouyang beside her immediately explained, "Xiao Song joined the crew at short notice and forgot to change his schedule. I'm sorry you made this trip in vain."
Xie Ran did not accompany Luoyang this time. Ouyang Ouyang seldom interacts with fans. At this time, he was only concerned with apologizing 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 were red when they heard this.
"I saved up money for a long time to buy him a gift..."
"I really, really want to see him..."
Xu Youyou and Xu Fang gave a few instructions, and soon several buses were dispatched. They also made a phone call to Song Zhibai's assistant.
"Children, let's get in the car 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 resting." 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 someone to register the fans' mailing addresses and explained, "The company wasn't well prepared this time. We'll have some of Mr. Song's peripheral products sent to you by mail later."
"Ah! Boss, you are such a nice person! You treated us to a meal and gave us gifts. I want to be your fan!" a little fan shouted.
Xu Youyou smiled and waved her hands: "Don't be like this, just be a fan of Teacher 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'm Song Zhibai!" Song Zhibai's face was projected onto 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, Xu Youyou had people distribute gifts to the fans. She asked the staff to prepare them temporarily. 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 gift, 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 supported other stars at the airport. This support was not actually arranged by the company, but a spontaneous behavior 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 with courage.
Xu Youyou nodded, looked into the eyes of her 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 both 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.
Someone who became a fan of Song Zhibai after watching his skits 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 value 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 participates in is an effective one. Fans, please trust 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. Without any rehearsal, the fans suddenly shouted to Xu Youyou in unison:
"thank you boss!"
Seeing that they had also changed their names, Xu Youyou was immediately at a loss for words. She smiled and said, "I should thank you for supporting Teacher Xiao Song."
She also asked the previously rented bus to take the fans home, and this incident became a hot topic on the same day.
I didn't receive the call, but it seemed like I did.
Xu Youyou clicked on this hot search entry, which was a video posted by a fan. It was a video shot from the airport all the way to the hotel where she was connected with Song Zhibai, and at the end, she showed a bag of small gifts in her hand.
"It's not just these gifts. There's also Teacher Song's celebrity merchandise mailed from Shanghai. Teacher Song is so gentle, and Boss Xu is so 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 clearly Song Zhibai who stood up his fans, but you guys praised him so much that he's now in high spirits. 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 moved. Maybe these two are hiding in the same bed laughing right now."
"Song Zhibai has been a leading 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, disgusting!"
Song Zhibai's fans were furious when they heard this: "Boss Xu has a keen eye for talent. They are not what you think!"
But the haters were quite capable: "If it weren't for the unspoken rules, who could be the absolute leading actor right from the start? Or was it tailor-made for her? Is Song Zhibai her father? Why does she have to worship him like this?"
When Song Zhibai's fans clicked on the black man's homepage, they immediately burst out laughing. 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 very easily, such as Song Zhibai and Gu Shuangbai.
The two had obviously never met each other, nor had they 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, with the vague intention of signing an endorsement. It happened that the TV series Song Zhibai became a hit, and it soared to become a phenomenal top star.
The brand quickly abandoned Gu Shuangbai, who they had been in contact with 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 chased Song Zhibai and scolded him, and the feud was thus formed.
Song Zhibai’s fans naturally wouldn’t 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 debuted as the male lead in a TV series produced by a famous director. Later, he played whatever genre 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 incredibly competitive: "No matter how many roles your brother takes, he can't change his reputation. Everything Director Sun films is a hit, but with Gu Shuangbai, it's a dud. The first film grossed 2 billion, but the sequel, with Gu Shuangbai, only grossed 1 billion. Even with the control variable method, we can tell who's holding back."
"Sister, how could you forget about Dangai? Others became famous by shooting Dangai, and Gu Shuangbai also shot one, but as soon as he got too excited about it, he posted a message banning Dangai. He's really a jerk."
Gu Shuangbai's fans were so angry that they broke down on the spot.
But something even more disheartening happened.
Another new entry suddenly became a hot search.
I received the call but it seemed like I didn't receive the call
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.
