Chapter 7, On the Self-Cultivation of Black Fans (3)

Chuning: You go

In the Weibo private messages, the message from "Lu Cheng Song Tian Xia Di Yi Shuai" has never shown as read

Chuning has always followed the path of loving more and hating more in the fan community. Those familiar with her style naturally know that she means no harm, so everyone happily shares her content as memes. Lu Chengshi sat on the sofa, laughing for a long time, and noticing the time, she realized that Lu Chengsong would be back soon. Therefore, she asked him on WeChat: "When will you be home?"

Thus, thanks to the blessings of Tolu Chengsong, the task of visiting the class was successfully completed

Chun Ning also became serious and said, "Of course, I won't leave. I want to see Lu Chengsong become the nation's husband with my own eyes"

Why

With the financial support from the wealthy fans, the promotional activities for the new drama became exceptionally smooth. The production team quickly prepared the gifts for the visit, and even the snacks for the crew were uniquely customized. Sister Diandian arrived in the capital on Monday afternoon, and Chuning happened to have no classes on Tuesday, so she picked up Sister Diandian at the airport. The two of them rushed to the hotel overnight to prepare the necessary items for the next day

Asui: "The results of the quiz have been released"

Although she was puzzled as to how Professor Meng could possibly have time to give her extra lessons, Chu Ning still did not dare to be negligent. She stayed up late and memorized the formulas that had been covered in statistics. By the time she finished, it was already 2 AM. After several nights of staying up late, her body felt overwhelmed, and she truly had no strength left to look at her phone. Without even washing her face, she climbed into bed and fell asleep immediately.

There was a saying that was quite popular online: "Sister Diandian lowered her head to tidy up the banner in her hands, and the hotel lights illuminated her profile, accentuating her already gentle features even more: 'There are three taboos in chasing stars: first, do not be overly sentimental; second, do not spend your entire fortune; third, do not meddle in everything.' When I first liked him, he was still an unknown model, sporting a head of dyed blonde hair, walking the runway with a stern expression. At that time, I thought, oh, this person is different from others, and I wanted to know what kind of person he was.

Chun Ning: "Sister Diandian, you should go ahead. I will be responsible for taking photos over here."

"What are you laughing so happily about?" Sister Diandian leaned over, took a glance, and also burst into laughter: "It's simply a meme, hurry up and send it out with some text to make everyone happy."

Chun Ning hesitated and raised her hand to knock on the door

Sister Diandian nodded with a smile, and as the conversation deepened, the two of them chatted while busying themselves with their tasks, eventually staying up until dawn. The next morning, after packing up their things, Chun Ning carried her camera and, with bags in tow, hurried to the press conference venue alongside Sister Diandian

Sister Diandian: You go.

"You did pass, but because your score is too low, Teacher Meng has notified you in the group to go to his office for remedial classes tomorrow afternoon." After finishing, Ah Sui looked at her sympathetically and said, "Xiao Chu, in your next life, make sure you don't think of coming to study economic management."

Isn't that very much like a hater, haha?" Chuning said this, but her body was quite honest as she opened Photoshop. Creating meme templates was much simpler than retouching, and she could easily produce a dozen in no time. After posting the retouched images using the fan club's account, Chuning immediately shared the freshly made meme templates on her own Weibo.

Sister Diandian raised her head and pondered carefully: "It will happen, everyone will eventually leave one day. Over the years in the fan community, I've seen too many such cases. When they come, it's all grand and lively, chatting in the group every day. But once they graduate and start working, or encounter better idols, they naturally leave. " Saying this, Sister Diandian glanced at Chuning with a hint of nervousness: "But Xiaochu, you must not leave; the station really needs you."

Deng Yang: "Shut up"

As a low-budget web drama, the attendance at the press conference was not high. Jiang Yan's fans were somewhat familiar with them, as the two groups had previously agreed to support each other. Upon arriving at the venue, they found that there was still time, so they decided to organize the materials. The largest gift box was prepared for Lu Chengsong, and a disagreement arose between Diandian Jie and Chun Ning regarding who would deliver this gift.

Chuning nodded with deep sorrow: "Mm!"

Lu Chengsong replied: It will be soon, the crew will have a meal

"Come in quickly." Deng Yang is a slightly plump older brother, appearing to be just under thirty. When he smiles, his eyes squint, giving him a very kind demeanor. Chu Ning's nervousness eased considerably as she walked into the room and carefully placed the gift on the table: "This is a small token of our appreciation. Um, could we take a certification photo? We need to report back to our fans."

Sister Diandian: "Actually, I have been watching him from a distance as well. I really don't dare to go... How about we play rock-paper-scissors?"

Reaching a consensus, rock-paper-scissors, Chuning lost. In a best of three, Chuning lost all three rounds.

Have you ever considered whether there will come a day when you will leave

Sister Diandian booked a flight for 9:00 PM. Chuning accompanied her to the airport and then hurried back by herself. The dormitory curfew is at 10:30 PM, and she timed her return to the dormitory accordingly. As soon as she entered the door, she saw her roommates sitting silently in their respective seats.

Other celebrity workgroups typically have five or more members, but when it comes to Lu Chengsong, it appears particularly sparse. Although Dandian Jie has only been working for three years and is still young, she possesses far more social experience than Chu Ning. The two of them sat on the carpet in the hotel room preparing banners and similar items, and as they chatted, they began to discuss the original intentions of their idol-chasing.

Lu Chengsong: "What is meant by a deadpan expression? This is called abstinence, abstinence is aloofness!"

Chuning furrowed her brow, feeling that her words were reasonable, yet not entirely correct: "Although I also hope he is our treasure, and that he can always remain as he is now without being assimilated by the entertainment industry, I also hope he can succeed, because I believe that is what he truly desires. As for whether we will be there at that time, it actually doesn't matter that much. In the matter of idolizing, one fears feeling self-righteous; one must remember their original intention. The reason I liked him in the first place was simply because he was different from others." As for whether we will be there at that time, it actually doesn't matter that much. In the matter of idolizing, one fears feeling self-righteous; one must remember their original intention. The reason I liked him in the first place was simply because he was different from others.

Chun Ning smiled and quietly listened to her continue speaking

Lu Chengshi sent over the emoji he just received from Chun Ning today, in which he appears bewildered, with his mouth turned down. Below the image, there is a line of text: Dazed, Stunned

That night, while organizing photos in the hotel, Chu Ning immediately spotted the one where Lu Chengsong's smile had faded. Due to the angle of the shot, he was looking at the camera without smiling, his expression somewhat vacant. Chu Ning stared at the photo for several seconds, then suddenly covered her mouth and burst into laughter

The moment he realized this, Lu Cheng's smile faded. Chu Ning had already pressed the shutter. Looking at the photo she had just taken, she showed a look of difficulty and said, "Um, could you smile for me?"

By then, there will be many who like him, including those who are wealthy and skilled; where will we stand in comparison

Lu Chengsong had not yet had the chance to refuse when he saw a flurry of memes featuring himself flooding into his phone. He closed his eyes in frustration, feeling that he had truly let his guard down; how could he have forgotten to ask the haters to delete that earlier post? Then he thought, indeed, haters are haters, taking advantage of his unpreparedness to strike at him. He could only blame his lack of combat experience, which made it easy for him to fall into the other party's schemes. With this thought, Lu Chengsong's mind wandered far away, and he suddenly felt that he might be able to portray a character in a spy drama exceptionally well.

Lu Chengsong: ... ... Where did this picture come from

I originally just wanted to like him this much, but later I found myself wanting to do more and more for him. At that time, I was in high school, and Weibo was not yet popular. I met Xiaomantou in a forum, gradually building up his community, establishing rules, and guiding newcomers. Now, I am not sure whether I like him or if I like this diligent version of myself.

If he really has such a glorious day, perhaps we will not remain instead

On this night, Lu Chengsong got up several times to check his phone in the middle of his sleep, but he saw no replies. After several attempts, he realized that this hater probably couldn't be bothered to respond to him at all. Feeling increasingly unsettled, Lu Chengsong experienced his first bout of insomnia in the early hours of March.

After arguing for half a day, Jiang Yan's fans interrupted them: "Why are you two pushing each other when there's such a great opportunity? If you don't go, I will. Lu Chengsong is wearing a checkered suit today, he looks so handsome that I feel like climbing the wall."

Deng Yang smiled and said, of course it's good. When he turned around, he found Lu Chengsong already posing eagerly in front of the gift box. Chu Ning smiled, took out the DSLR camera she had been carrying in her bag, and as she raised it, the memories in Lu Chengsong's mind suddenly became clear.

In the end, it was still Chu Ning who, holding the box, greeted the staff and slowly made her way backstage. She was not afraid or shy; it was just that the thought of the last time at the airport when she accidentally hit Lu Chengsong's chin with her DSLR made her feel a bit guilty. The backstage of the press conference was designed in a very convoluted manner, and Chu Ning felt as if she had followed the staff through countless turns before she dizzily stood in front of a door. The staff were already accustomed to these fans; after all, Lu Chengsong had little popularity, and he couldn't be bothered to greet Chu Ning, leaving her there and turning to leave.

Chuning had a gut feeling that something was off: "What happened?"

In an instant, Chu Ning's heart lifted: "Have I passed?"

Sometimes agents can be quite fierce towards their artists. Lu Chengsong pouted and tidied up his hairstyle before opening the door. When the door was opened, Chu Ning peeked in while holding a gift box and politely greeted, "Hello, I am a fan of Lu Chengsong's support club, here to deliver gifts on behalf of everyone."

At the end of the banquet, Lu Chengsong took a car home. He recalled the emoticon sent by Lu Chengshi and logged into Weibo with a secondary account to search for Chuning's profile. Sure enough, there was a pile of black images. Lu Chengsong rubbed his forehead, took a deep breath, and looked out at the night sky, remembering that in his seven years since debut, he had never experienced such humiliation. He felt a wave of youthful sorrow within him.

Lu Chengsong raised the corners of his mouth in a forced smile: "Eggplant---" but inside, he had already scanned Chu Ning like a laser light. She must be the most successful anti-fan he had ever encountered, not only infiltrating the fan club but also personally coming backstage to deliver gifts. He must not give her any leverage; he needed to present his most perfect smile

Lu Chengshi: The new work created by Xiao Chuchu, do you want to see anything else?

This DSLR, this girl, isn't she just his hater

"It should be the fans who said they would come to visit earlier." Deng Yang put down his phone and patted Lu Chengsong's shoulder, saying, "When the fans come in later, be a bit more enthusiastic and don't wear that deadpan expression of yours."
