Chapter: 2956
Whenever Zhong Tianyu goes out of town, he always has to manage hundreds of fake fans waiting for him at the airport. He spends money to hire a group of so-called “illegitimate fans” who follow him around, and he often takes to Weibo to complain about these fans who seem obsessed with him. Afterward, he pays to promote his posts, which often trend with titles like, “Zhong Tianyu is troubled by illegitimate fans in a certain place and publishes a condemnation.”
He uses these trending topics to attract attention from more casual viewers and netizens. By sharing heavily edited photos and catchy music, he enhances his image as a talented and hardworking star from a wealthy family. As a result, many bystanders end up becoming fans.
This kind of strategy is common in the entertainment industry. If a celebrity arrives somewhere and there are no fans waiting, or if there aren’t any attractive photos at the airport, it can quickly become a joke in the industry.
So, when Zhong Tianyu learned that no one was there to greet him, he was furious. “What’s going on? I’m heading to Jinling! Where’s my welcome crew?” he shouted.
His female assistant quickly replied, “Master, you were supposed to fly to Jinling tomorrow morning, so all the arrangements by Xu Dandan are set for then!”
She flipped through her notepad and added, “Xu Dandan has already coordinated with the local group leader in Jinling. At nine o’clock tomorrow morning, 500 performers will be at the airport posing as fans. This pick-up will be a major event! We’ll even get you trending for your arrival and make sure there’s a big fan turnout.”
“Listen up, fans,” said Zhong Tianyu. “Tomorrow at 9 AM, ten groups of photographers will arrive at the airport. They’ll be ready to take your pictures in different spots, and then they’ll send the best ones to their team for editing. Once the photos are ready, you’ll pick the ones you like. After that, we’ll get you trending for your stylish airport outfit.”
He continued, “Also, over 20 experienced actors are set to play your ‘haters.’ They’ll drive you from the airport to the hotel, and at some point, you’ll stop the car to confront them. This will help us create another trending topic about you standing up to those extreme fans.”
Zhong Tianyu explained further, “According to the original plan, those ‘fans’ will knock on your hotel room door at night. They might even pretend to be a waiter to trick you into opening the door, just to get a photo with you.”
He added, “As arranged by Xu Dandan, you’ll call the police when this happens. Once the police arrive, a hidden camera crew will capture the whole situation and share it online that same night. This will create another trending topic about how you were harassed and had to seek help from the police.”
“Four trending topics in one day will definitely make you the center of attention!” he said with a cold tone.
Zhong Tianyu’s frustration grew as he added, “But what good is this now? I’m leaving today, not tomorrow! I want all of this moved to today! Make it happen in two hours!”
The assistant sighed, “Master, the problem is that I can’t reach Xu Dandan at all right now.”
The materials for you, like banners and light signs, will arrive tonight in Jinling. If we delay now, we won’t have them in time.
Zhong Tianyu was frustrated. “I’m one of the hottest male singers right now! If I get to Jinling and fans are waiting for me, and I don’t have anything to show, I’ll be a laughing stock!”
He quickly added, “You need to make arrangements for me! Call the group leader directly and tell him I’m willing to pay double. I need three hundred people at the airport waiting for me in an hour! If we can’t get the materials by then, find some young women, have them write welcome messages in blood on white t-shirts. I’ll give them five thousand each if they do it!”
His female assistant sighed, “Master, Xu Dandan already contacted the group leader in Jinling, and I don’t have his number.”
Zhong Tianyu was furious. “If you can’t contact him, find a way! I don’t care how you do it. If you can’t solve this, you’re in big trouble!”
The assistant felt overwhelmed and nearly cried. “Master, what if you just wait a few hours? I can go to Jinling and set everything up before you arrive…”
Zhong Tianyu snapped, “Wait? I can’t wait! Xu Dandan is missing, and if I can’t find him, everything will fall apart. The concert is only three days away, and we’re running out of time!”
