After dreaming of getting rich, I dressed up as a collapsed idol

It's said that there are different levels in this industry. Normally, you just hold up posters and call out names. If you have a good image, you can stand at the front and give flowers to the stars. The more impressive ones are chasing cars and falling down, which requires some acting skills.

There are also unspoken requirements: the professional fans assigned to male celebrities cannot be too tall or too handsome, lest they steal the spotlight.

Lu Qingfeng didn't listen any further, dried his hands, and came out.

On the way back, I was recognized.

"Lu Qingfeng?"

"Hello."

Lu Qingfeng was quite surprised. The other party was a well-maintained middle-aged man with a slicked-back hairstyle and a gentle and refined appearance.

"Hello, hello, I thought I was seeing things when you walked by just now."

The middle-aged man shook hands with him.

"My daughter really likes you. Could you please sign your autograph and take a photo with her?"

"Of course, no problem. Your daughter's name is...?"

"Yuan Sisi, you are eighteen years old this year and will be taking the college entrance examination soon. I have to thank you for this."

"Thank me?"

Lu Qingfeng took the paper and pen.

“Her mother passed away early, and I often travel for work, so her grandparents helped take care of her. The grandparents spoiled her, which led to some bad habits. Her grades used to be quite good, but they dropped sharply starting in high school.”

“Her teacher was anxious, and so was I, but no matter what we said, she wouldn’t listen, so I gave up.”

"But starting last year, her grandparents told me that Sisi was like a different person. She didn't go out to play as often, her clothes and appearance were no longer strange, and she often bought books and listened to music."

"Later I saw your posters on her room and realized she was a fan. Didn't you give a speech about the college entrance exam in January this year? She started studying hard after that."

At this point, the man's face broke into a fatherly smile.

Lu Qingfeng was also happy, as it made him feel that everything he had done all along had meaning.

He thought for a moment and wrote it down on the paper.

To my classmate Yuan Sisi:

True growth and transformation begin when we learn how to plant a seed within ourselves and ignite our own light. This process may be full of challenges and difficulties.

But it is these experiences that have taught us perseverance and courage, and have made our flames shine even brighter through trials.

Leave your signature below.

"It's so well written."

Looking at the beautiful handwriting, the middle-aged man couldn't help but slap his thigh. This noise made the two young people who were looking at their phones look up, and their eyes lit up.

"Xiao Lu."

This sound made everyone around look up.

Perhaps because other celebrities came over, many people who are interested in celebrities went there to watch the excitement. So although it attracted attention and quite a few people came over, most of them just raised their phones to take pictures.

Lu Qingfeng decided not to leave and fulfilled everyone's requests for photos and autographs on the spot.

Back at the team's location, they found that many people were missing. Upon asking, they learned that they had all gone to the airport to greet the celebrities.

"The person who came has some connection with you."

One student who went to the exit and then came back said.

"I."

Lu Qingfeng pointed to himself.

"Yes, it's that top-tier ranking that was all over the internet a while ago, He Lin, who was ranked in the same group of three as you."

Not surprising then.

He Lin rose to fame at the end of last year. He is quite young and debuted through a talent show. He was not very popular at first, but became famous overnight after starring in a BL drama last year.

In the entertainment industry, BL dramas are definitely a powerful tool for promoting people, and they can promote two people at once.

Furthermore, due to the target audience, the benefits of a character's popularity can last for a long time, just like Lin Lichen.

He Lin became famous along with this drama, and the other main character, Zhao Xintang, is also among this year's top celebrities.

Because it has just become popular and lacks a solid foundation, it especially needs topics like welcoming people at the airport to generate buzz.

Lu Qingfeng lost interest in the topic and continued chatting with Mr. Zhu.

Before long, faint screams could be heard.

The arrival gate and boarding gate at the airport are not on the same floor and are quite far apart. The fact that the sound could reach here shows how loud it was.

They really put in the effort.

Lu Qingfeng thought to himself.

After waiting for another ten minutes or so, the classmates who went to see the excitement returned and talked about the grand occasion.

"There were so many people, and they all seemed to be crazy. It was scary to look at."

"Someone has fainted."

"I saw it too. He Lin is a really nice guy. He even stopped to check on the fan who fainted."

"too exaggerated."

"Lu, have you ever been greeted by fans like this at the airport?"

Someone asked Lu Qingfeng.

"No, maybe I'm not popular enough."

Lu Qingfeng's calm reply.

"Really? That can't be right."

The student expressed confusion.

Lu Qingfeng just smiled.

Information spreads quickly online, and the hashtag "He Lin's fans greeted him at the airport" soon became a trending topic on Weibo, along with other hashtags like "silver hair" and "man who looked like he stepped out of a comic book."

This is the new look of this rising star, showcasing his good looks and physique under these professional camera angles.

Coupled with the fervor of the fans at the scene, one could feel the overwhelming popularity and excitement.

It was a very successful marketing campaign, and it would have been fine if it had ended there. But for some reason, He Lin's fans put together photos of Lu Qingfeng signing autographs for fans at the airport and these photos of him picking up fans at the airport, and then commented on them.

The gist is that although they are both top celebrities, the difference in popularity is obvious.

This move caused a huge uproar.

Lu Qingfeng's fans rarely stir up fan wars; they mostly promote his works to the outside world. They seem indifferent, but in reality, they are detached from worldly affairs.

Just like the top-tier rankings initiated by Lin Lichen's team, they're too lazy to even get involved in competing with other fan groups for these things.

Because in their view, this kind of honor recognized by the fan circle is not something their idol Lu Han is pursuing at all.

But if you say your idol isn't popular, then you're really slapping those fans in the face.

I can't stand it at all.

[This is hilarious. We're all in this industry, everyone knows each other. Don't you know how these situations came about?]

[Funny, when it comes to popularity, we could drown you all with just a spit from each of us.]

……

The Weibo post was instantly bombarded with comments. Without any organization, the spontaneous surge of people overwhelmed He Lin's fan. At first, they were able to argue back.

Upon closer inspection, he found that his comment would receive dozens of replies in the next second. Realizing he couldn't fight against so many people, he immediately went back to his fan group to call for help.

[I think you guys are joking. If you're so capable, why don't you put on a grand show for Lu Qingfeng? If you're not, then shut up.]

The arrival of new forces escalated the struggle.

[Hehe, do you even know what our little deer is doing? Do you think people like yours only cause trouble for others?]

Several links were added below this reply, leading to Xinghua News Agency, Renmin University website, CCTV, Yanjing TV, Peking University's official account, and special reports on Sino-foreign cultural exchanges in the Pioneer Youth Daily.

They were all released this morning.

Because it's not a social issue, and the authorities are unlikely to promote it, most people, except for those who are interested, won't pay attention to it, so its popularity is limited.

As the two fan groups argued, the popularity of these reports soared.
