Chapter 15: Fame Arises Overnight
How do you determine if a celebrity is truly popular?
Is it the number of fans? The exposure of the work? Or the awards? Or the performance fees?
In fact, the most important indicator of a celebrity's popularity is the level of discussion they generate. Everything else can be fabricated or faked, but the level of discussion cannot be faked. Whether online or offline, the level of discussion surrounding a celebrity is the most authentic.
Xia Miaomiao felt this most deeply. Before the broadcast of "Meteor Shower", she was almost fighting alone. Her roommates did not support her, and even though she promoted it so hard, she did not get any response and no one knew Lin Feng.
After "Meteor Shower" aired, Xia Miaomiao realized that she no longer needed to promote Lin Feng, because she was no longer fighting alone. At this time, she had too many sisters, all of whom were Lin Feng fans, and everyone was talking about Lin Feng.
The 100-person QQ support group she created for Lin Feng filled up in no time. It was upgraded to 200 people and then filled up again. Then she became a member and upgraded to 1000 people and then filled up again. She became a super member and upgraded to 2000 people, but it still wasn't enough.
To address this, Xia Miaomiao opened two new QQ groups and added more entry requirements, which finally eased the conflict.
However, she soon discovered that it wasn't that there were fewer people, but rather that others had also created corresponding QQ groups. After a quick search, she found no fewer than a hundred such QQ groups.
However, no matter how many QQ support groups there are for Lin Feng, Xia Miaomiao's three QQ groups will always be the most official and representative of Lin Feng's will, which is why she has the certification of "Lin Feng's No. 1 fan".
A new fan, both curious and skeptical, asked Xia Miaomiao, "Sister Miaomiao, they all say you're Lin Feng's number one verified fan? Is that true?"
"Of course it's real. Didn't you see the pinned photo in the group chat? That's a picture of me and Lin Feng. It can't be photoshopped, right?"
Xia Miaomiao was very patient, and she thoroughly enjoyed the feeling, as if she were sharing the beauty she possessed with others. This sense of accomplishment was captivating.
"Really? This was when Raymond Lam filmed Meteor Shower. Were you a fan back then?"
"Yeah, that's right! I knew Lin Feng would become famous back then, so I made a special trip to Xiamen to see him. By the way, he's even more handsome in person than on TV!"
"Is Lin Feng that tall in the photo, or are you shorter, Sister Miaomiao?"
"I am 165cm tall barefoot, and I am not lying at all. It's just that Lin Feng is too tall. It is absolutely true that he is 183cm tall. Otherwise, he could not be so much taller than me."
"Ah! Did Lin Feng write this? 'The harder you work, the luckier you get.' The handwriting is really good, and the sentence is very interesting. The more I think about it, the more meaningful it becomes."
"Yes! I really like this quote myself; it's become my motto. Lin Feng is not only handsome but also very cultured. He even told me that he hopes we can both become better versions of ourselves in the future!"
"I can picture this scene in my mind; it feels like something out of an idol drama. Sister Miaomiao, you're so lucky! When will I get to meet Lin Feng too?"
"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. By the way, in a couple of days, Mango Entertainment Channel is holding an offline 'Meteor Shower Meet and Greet' in Changsha, where they will interact with fans live. Let's all go if we have time this time!"
Many of you may not know this, but before the premiere of "Meteor Shower," a "nationwide first audience meet-and-greet" was held, and almost all of the attendees were fans of Yu Haoming ("Taro") and Wei Chen ("Le Cheng").
There were only a few of us Lin Feng fans, and we were squeezed into a corner. I felt so wronged just thinking about it!
This time, all of us Bee fans are mobilized! We're determined to turn the venue into a sea of red, not only to let Lin Feng feel our passion, but also to show other celebrities' fans our power!
Yes! Let's take action!
"A sea of red! Let's go!"
"Little bees, let's go!"
Xia Miaomiao sent the notification directly in the group, and then had others send the notification to other groups, so the entire "Bee Fans" group was mobilized!
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
Lin Feng's fans are called "Bees" and their support color is red. This was decided by Tianyu Media a long time ago, almost before the filming of "Meteor Shower". After all, Tianyu Media is good at this, but not good at anything else!
While Lin Feng's fans were carrying out their campaign, Lin Feng and his team continued to promote "Meteor Shower." It was precisely because "Meteor Shower" was a hit that this "Meteor Shower Meet and Greet" took place.
The venue, which can only seat a maximum of 2000 people, was completely packed, with over 1 people seemingly entering. This demonstrates the immense popularity of "Meteor Shower."
However, so many people were not a good thing. The security guards were sweating profusely with tension: "No! No! There are too many people, we can't let anyone else push in!"
The event organizers didn't expect "Meteor Shower" to be so popular, with so many enthusiastic fans. If this continued, it could easily lead to a safety incident.
The on-site host was also ineffective and unable to control the situation. Despite repeatedly reassuring the fans to maintain order, they couldn't contain the fans' enthusiasm, resulting in a chaotic scene with everyone in a frenzy. It was quite alarming.
Seeing all this, Lin Feng was deeply moved. Of all the fans present, almost half were dressed in red—his signature support color. He could see it clearly.
On the other hand, Lin Feng was also worried about the safety of the fans. There were too many people and it was too chaotic, which could easily lead to accidents. With this in mind, Lin Feng stepped forward without hesitation.
"Hello everyone, I am Lin Feng. Thank you very much for coming to the meet-and-greet. We have felt your enthusiasm. Now, can we experience your good manners?"
Please keep quiet. For everyone's safety, please follow the instructions of the on-site staff, avoid crowding, and maintain order. We will stay with you.
As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, another wave of gasps and applause erupted from the audience, the sound growing louder: "Lin Feng! Lin Feng!" "It's Lin Feng! It's Lin Feng!" "Lin Feng! Lin Feng! I love you! Do you know that!"
"I'm right here, everyone. Don't worry, I won't leave. Please don't panic, keep order, and we will all cooperate."
However, Lin Feng remained calm and, with patient guidance and the cooperation of the fans, order was finally restored at the scene, and the event was able to continue smoothly.
The other lead actors then went on stage to interact with fans, singing "Starry Night Story" and "Let Me Sing a Song for You" together. They also shared many unreleased behind-the-scenes stories from the filming, creating a very heartwarming atmosphere.
However, the behind-the-scenes footage contained a lot of clips of Lin Feng and Deng Shuang, many of which showed their playful and affectionate interactions, eliciting screams from the fans at the scene.
This was definitely intentionally broadcast by EE-Media, because Lin Feng never did many of the behind-the-scenes clips, or never did them with Deng Shuang; many of them were just edited together.
This is clearly a plan to keep hyping up the Lin Feng and Deng Shuang couple to the very end!
This made Lin Feng somewhat unhappy, but since the drama was currently airing, Lin Feng couldn't force the couple to break up. Even if he was somewhat unwilling, he still had to maintain normal public appearances.
However, Deng Shuang seemed to enjoy and cooperate quite a bit, and while this behind-the-scenes clip was playing, she would occasionally steal a glance at Lin Feng, which made many "CP fans" go wild!
