Chapter 161: I didn't spend money.

On July 18, the first day of summer vacation, Anxi was a guest on the Film Channel's "Star Film Podcast" with Eileen accompanying her.
The "Star Film Podcast" is different from other programs in that it is shorter in duration and combines recent promotional highlights of celebrities and the special features of the Film Channel to introduce and recommend the key films released that week to the audience.
So this program is aired a week before the movie's release, and it has the best promotional effect. It's just the right time to record.
As soon as the program finished recording, Qianqian headed straight to the airport.
The next day, at the Bell Tower Music Hall of Jiangcheng Conservatory of Music, there were three times more security personnel and more media reporters compared to the previous fan meeting for "Secret".
"When
I am different from the world
Then let me be different."
Yao Dong was forced to stop and listen to the chorus of nearly a thousand fans, cheering and screaming.
After about two minutes, Yao Dong started singing again:
"Me and my last stubbornness"
"Hold hands tightly and never let go"
"Forced to stop again, Yao Dong simply turned the microphone towards the fans. After the fans finished singing a song, Yao Dong started greeting them: 'Hi~~!'"
The non-professional host Yang Liu responded backstage with a greeting: "Hi!" As they walked onto the stage, the two of them had some playful moments. After a while, Yang Liu shouted to the fans in the audience, "I'm so excited! Yao Dong has returned to Jiang City! Cheers!"
The fans in the audience screamed, and Yao Dong greeted them again: "Hi, everyone!"
"Fantastic! Today, Yao Dong and all of us, together with all the friends and relatives from Jiangcheng, are here to welcome his 2006 new film 'Secret' Jiangcheng meet-and-greet."
"Hmm," Yao Dong responded.
"Actually, many people have been waiting for a long time, and some people are particularly jealous. Why did cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Changsha, Nanjing, Chongqing, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen all have these free meet-and-greet events? Jiangcheng is your hometown! But everyone has been waiting until now!"
Yang Liu made her first appearance on stage as a host, and she spoke really fast. Yao Dong reminded her with a smile, "Actually, you can speak more slowly."
Yang Liu slowed down her speech and interacted with the fans in the audience, saying, "Yao Dong just arrived in Jiangcheng today. Shouldn't he compensate us?"
The fans at the scene shouted in unison, "Yes!"
Yao Dong waved to the audience again and said, "Hello everyone, I'm back! Thank you for your continuous love and support."
After bowing, raise hand to gesture to the fans, and sing:
"Thank you for the glory you give me
I want to bow deeply to you
…
I already know where I should go
This belongs to our glory
This is the joyous ode I give to you.
Every one of you is my great hero.
After Yao Dongqing finished singing "Glory", the fans on the scene cheered and screamed. Yang Liu also exclaimed, "Is this a new song?"
"Yes!"
Yao Dong paused for a moment and smiled. He said, "This song didn't have time to be arranged. The reason I came to Jiangcheng today is because the most special person in my life is with me and we came back together."
When it comes to the most special person, the song "Special Person" starts playing in the venue, and some fans shout, "Xixi!"
Yao Dong smiled and loudly said, "Yes, Xixi came back with me today!"
There was a soft voice of Xixi coming from the speakers: "Hello everyone, I'm back!"
The whole concert hall was once again swept away by the sound waves.
Yao Dong stepped forward to greet Xixi, who had just stepped onto the stage, and held her little hand. They both waved to the fans and said, "We're back!"
Before the scene could calm down, the non-professional host Yang Liu immediately interacted with An Qian: "Qian Qian, is this your first time attending Yao Dong's fan meeting?"
"No, we didn't."
An Qian raised her hand to signal the fans in the audience and smiled: "Before this, like everyone else, I had never been on stage."
"Do you remember when was the last time you attended a Yao Dong fan meeting?"
"Let me think for two seconds... Oh, it was around 2004, the 'Chinese Paladin' fan meeting!"
The live fans cheered again, but this time the voices were not unified, and the key words were "concert".
Yao Dong raised the microphone and quickly responded, "Recently, many people have given me suggestions online, asking me not to give money anymore, and to hold concerts instead of these free meet-ups, so that I can make some money. Now I want to tell you all that I did not give money, it was all sponsored by the sponsor!"
Speaking of the sponsors, Yao Dong pointed to the billboards and laughed, "If you want to listen to me sing, you can listen on QQ Music; if you want to watch me, you can watch on Tengxun Video; if you want to interact with me, you can also follow Tengxun Weibo in the future, Qian Qian will be there too!"
After finishing the advertisement of the sponsor, Yao Dong held Qian Qian's hand and loudly said, "If you want to support me, bring your family to the cinema on July 30th to watch 'Secret' instead. It's much more cost-effective than concert tickets!"
Fans' cheers are still very divided, with keywords like "concert," "must go," and "good."
As a tencent employee, Yang Liu promotes again: "You have heard the cheers of the fans. You should consider it again. Don't blame Tencent Music, Tengxun Video, and Weibo if you don't hold a concert. We, Tengxun, won't shoulder this blame!"
Xixi picked up the microphone and followed along with the crowd, saying, "Consider it, consider it!"
Before Yao Dong could speak, Yang Liu shouted to the fans below, "Xixi said consider it, consider it, Yao Dong will definitely consider it."
Turning to Yao Dong again, confirming, "Isn't it?"
"Understood."
“……”
This fan meeting went smoothly, without fans throwing things on stage. The lucky fans chosen to interact on stage didn't say anything shocking, instead, they gave their blessings to both of them, which made Yao Dong feel uplifted.
That night, Qianqian, who had just started her summer vacation, was very enthusiastic about studying and pulled Yao Dong to teach her acting skills.
Yao Dong did not refuse either. He found a Japanese movie and watched it together, studying the excellent acting skills of the male and female leads.
Meanwhile, entertainment media who had fans attending the event were also busy, rushing to finish their articles overnight.
Fengxun Entertainment was the first to release a news article with a picture, titled: "An Tsin Appears at 'Secret' Meeting in Jiangcheng, Requests Yao Dong to Hold a Concert with Fans!"
Internet media such as Zhalang Entertainment and Shouhu Entertainment quickly followed suit and published related reports:
"Pictures: The 2006 'Secret' Chengdu Meet-and-Greet Event."
"Photo: Celestial Being 'Secret' Meeting"
"Photo and Text: Anqi Appeared at the 'Secret' Meeting, the Most Special Person to Yao Dong's Life"
Video: Yao Dong performs live the newly composed and unarranged song "Thank You for the Glory".
Video: "Dong Xi" plays the piano duet "Secrets That Cannot Be Told" with four hands.
"Video: An Qian teaches Yao Dong's fans to play 'Cotton'."
"Video: Yao Dong and An Qian's affectionate duet."
……
Nanjing.
"Drip Drip Drip Drip Drip."
Liu Sisi, who was watching a movie, casually clicked on the link sent by a friend on WeChat.
A few minutes later, Liu Sisi, muttering to herself, logged into her anonymous account "Little Lion of Qianqian" on Tengxun Blog.
Just as she was about to leave a scathing comment on Yao Dong's latest blog post, she saw a troll named "Sui Yang" leaving a comment.
So Liu Sisi started to argue with him, cursing and complaining.
茜茜的小狮子@隋炀：等我有钱了，我一定带你去最好的神经病院。明明是姚东死皮赖脸地追我家茜茜，高攀nmp啊！他俩认识的时候……
ps. Liu Sisi will be offline soon. Do any book friends have any thoughts on her ending?
