Chapter 78: Chapter 0077: Fan Meeting (900 Monthly Tickets Bonus Chapter)

"There’s a small scratch on your face, and a bit of bruising near the corner of your eye. Tomorrow’s the fan meeting."

After finishing the most important scene, Qi Hao had essentially wrapped up today’s shooting.

Of course, there’s still much more to come; he’s not ready to "get the lunchbox" yet.

Assistant Yang Liu was helping clean the makeup residues from Qi Hao’s face when she keenly noticed his injury.

"Oh." Qi Hao glanced at the mirror and responded nonchalantly.

It’s not that Qi Hao is heartless, he just has a stomach.

What else could he do?

Should he rush to the hospital?

If they were a bit slower, perhaps the wound would have healed by then.

Or plan to use this minor injury to hype his dedicated actor image?

Look at the stunt doubles, they’re often covered in bruises, limping with hurt arms; compared to them, actors are fortunate.

"Should we use makeup for the fan meeting, maybe some concealer, and then..."

Yang Liu is a knowledgeable assistant when it comes to makeup.

Since joining Qi Hao, she’s specifically studied male makeup.

"No need, it’s fine like this, it’ll make me look more macho."

The next day’s fan meeting allowed three hundred fans inside.

There was no helping it; managing too many people would be difficult.

This was already the result of the team swiftly cutting through the complications; if it had dragged on for a few months, there might have been thousands wandering around the venue, even without the qualifications to enter.

Even so, many fans were still outside the event holding signs, waiting.

Qi Hao knew he couldn’t be soft-hearted.

If he got out of the car to interact with the fans outside, it would seem like he was choosing fans over money, but in reality, it would harm both the fans and the team.

More fans would show up at future events.

An excessive crowd, combined with zeal, and lack of proper control, could easily lead to serious incidents like stampedes.

As the car stopped, Qi Hao quickly entered with the escort of several people.

There were no stops along the way.

This was a semicircular venue.

Usually, it might be used for launching phones, cars, or household appliances.

The venue wasn’t very large, and due to its design, the audience seats weren’t far from the stage.

The lighting was soft, fitting perfectly with the fan and idol’s shared atmosphere today.

It’s magical seeing someone who usually lives on screen right in front of you, listening, chatting, and smiling with you.

This is likely the allure of fan meetings or signing events.

Many times, tickets for such gatherings are priced upwards of a thousand yuan.

Qi Hao’s fan meeting was free this time.

Because it’s just a one-time event, charging didn’t feel right.

If it were a national tour with dozens of events, charging could be more justified.

Of course, then people might accuse him of cashing in on fans.

Three hundred fans in the venue still looked quite impressive. Even with staff maintaining order, complete silence couldn’t be ensured.

Because the fans all shared a common topic.

That being Qi Hao!

"I’ve been a fan of Qi Hao since 2000, how about you?"

"I’m later, 2004. I thought he looked so handsome in that army coat in ’Bloody Romance.’ Oh, by the way, I’m a fan of his pairing with Sun Li."

"He and Sun Li weren’t a couple in the show."

"Oh, whatever, I just feel they match well. Have you seen the photo of him giving Sun Li a bike ride?"

"I’ve seen it! When I marry, I want a bike as the wedding vehicle!"

"I like Qi Hao and An Feng as a couple."

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

Most fans were female, and they chatted lively and animatedly.

Even though some fans liked different pairings, there weren’t unsolvable conflicts. After all, Qi Hao didn’t actually love anyone; it was all just rumors.

"Auntie, you..."

Occasionally, some older fans would stand out.

Could you be here for a free egg giveaway?

"Don’t call me auntie, call me big sister! Why can’t I be a fan?"

Nonetheless, someone did come for the free eggs.

This self-proclaimed egg recipient wasn’t mocked or shunned.

A group gathered around her, asking her to share the experience of the first fan meeting.

The woman reminisced and said, "That day the weather... I don’t remember."

"Oh no!" The fans were disappointed.

It must have been a bright, sunny day, right?

"Qi Hao wore a T-shirt and jeans, tall and slim, he loved to laugh, and there was a little dimple when he did..."

With a face full of memories, the old fan described.

"Oh dear, Qi Hao doesn’t smile much now, huh."

"Qi Hao’s smile is so charming."

"It was right by the plaza in front of the grocery store. We lived nearby, and when I went to the store for groceries, I happened to see him holding a signing event there..."

The aunt continued to describe the scene to the young people.

"Was it crowded back then?"

"Yes, it was. They were giving away eggs, and ten eggs were quite expensive at that time."

"I heard the supermarket owner was the one giving them away. Was the supermarket owner a fan of Qi Hao?"

"That, I don’t know. But by the end, the supermarket ran out of eggs, and then everyone dispersed."

"Auntie, do you still have the signed posters they gave away back then?"

"Signed posters were only available at the beginning. Later, the signatures were on supermarket price lists. I accidentally found them last year in the storage room. Oh, you wouldn’t believe how happy I was..."

"Auntie, I heard the trash bins were filled with Qi Hao’s posters..."

"That’s all nonsense. Such a handsome young man, putting his posters on the wall would be great, why throw them away? If anyone did, I’d have picked up many already."

"Auntie, were you already a fan of Qi Hao back then? Why do you admire him?"

"Because he’s good-looking!"

Good-looking Qi Hao deliberately slowed down as he entered the venue.

When he walked in, the crowd exploded with enthusiastic cheers.

Qi Hao waved and greeted everyone.

"Qi Hao, Qi Hao, I love you!"

This was relatively restrained.

Below, there were fans shouting "Little Flying Stick," "Dan," and even "husband."

Such a mess.

But these were all "terms of endearment." Only devoted fans could enter here, likely with three to five years of fandom.

I love you all too.

Qi Hao silently said to himself.

Honestly, he really enjoyed this feeling, finding real validation for his existence after being underestimated as a child.

As a child, he was the teacher’s kid.

Unfortunately, he was always clumsy.

Even in school, he was always at the bottom of the class.

Being the teacher’s kid, how could your grades be poor!

This attracted more attention than a regular kid struggling.

Qi Hao’s parents were helpless, and could only enforce stricter demands, trying different teaching methods.

But it was all in vain.

He still couldn’t learn.

Becoming a star, Qi Hao’s vanity was greatly satisfied.

Looking back, he realized how shallow he was as a child.

But so what.

Most people look back on their past and feel like fools.

"Husband!"

Suddenly, a loud shout startled Qi Hao almost causing him to stumble.

Gosh, what was that.

A male fan, burly and rough, easily 200 centimeters tall, probably weighed 200 pounds.

This guy, was excitedly shouting "husband" at Qi Hao.

Loud voice combined with proximity.

Truly overwhelming.

A burly man calling me husband?

Qi Hao hesitated for two seconds before forcing a smile and continuing towards the stage.

This guy must be sent by the rivals.

After Qi Hao arrived, the host invited on stage immediately started a dialogue-style summary of Qi Hao’s career from debut to present.

Basically, one was praising, the other being humble.

Once this segment was over.

Qi Hao delivered a brief speech, thanking everyone for liking him and for attending today’s fan meeting.

The journey over these years wasn’t easy, relying only on himself as the system couldn’t be trusted. When speaking emotionally, even Qi Hao was somewhat undone.

Needless to say for the fans.

Almost every sentence he said sparked cheers and screams from the crowd below.

That loud voice was still shouting "husband."

He was indeed the most conspicuous in the whole venue.

"Next, I’ll sing two songs to thank everyone for traveling here to see me. I’m not a professional singer, so please bear with me."

Qi Hao first sang "Faith" and "The First Time."

Both songs were past their time according to the system.

Thinking about it is heartbreaking.

If he had received these songs before the original artists, even though he wasn’t a professional, Qi Hao could have firmly taken a place in the music industry.

Many singers may not have a single song remembered by others throughout their lives.

Despite Qi Hao’s modesty, the fans were very accommodating, offering applause and singing along. After the two songs, they were calling for an encore.

Fortunately, the team was prepared not only to buy the rights to two songs.

"It’s not a sin for a man to cry!"

While singing, he almost wanted to cry, cursed system deceived me!
