Huayu 2021: Isn’t he in the technology field?

Chapter 73: Breaking the Circle Effect, a Restart Across Five Years
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the incident of Jiang Qing's response to the fans picking up the airport continued to ferment on the Internet.

Ranked third on Zhihu's hot list, "How do you evaluate Jiang Qing's strategy for dealing with fans at Shanghai Airport?" In response to the question, the answerer @扫地僧, a certified associate professor of sociology, dissected the entire incident from a professional perspective.

"When Dr. Jiang said, 'I should be much richer than everyone else,' he leaned forward 15 degrees and relaxed his right hand, which not only dispelled the sense of preaching but also established an atmosphere of equal dialogue. This high-level rhetoric, which transforms economic capital into emotional capital, is a textbook example of celebrity public relations."

The answer was accompanied by four enlarged screenshots of photos taken by fans at the airport, with Jiang Qing's micro-expression changes marked with red arrows.

The comment section was quickly dominated by professional discussions such as "It is recommended to include it in public relations textbooks" and "It turns out that body language is more important than lines."

Douban Group 8 posted a hot topic, "How many points would you give for a rational discussion of Jiang Qing's actions?"

The original poster @阿皎吃秆今日吗 compiled a comparison table of how top stars handled airport pick-up incidents in the past three years.

Jiang Qing's combination of "treating at own expense + reasoning on the spot" took first place with 9.2 points, while the second-place strategy of treating people to milk tea only received 6.5 points.

"The key point is that he solved the problem on the spot without any impatience or airs. He always maintained a gentle smile and his eyes were as clear as a college student who had just stepped onto campus. The last big shot I know of who could do this was Lei Jun!"

The most-liked reply featured a close-up of Jiang Qing's shirt collar, which remained straight even when surrounded by fans:
"This ability to react on the spot makes me believe that some people are born to be in the spotlight."

The top UP host "魔都囡囡" in the life area of ​​Bilibili posted "When I turned Jiang Shen's response to fans into a social experiment", which has received over one million clicks.

In the video, twenty volunteers played the roles of celebrities and fans picking them up at the airport. Only three of them achieved effective communication when recreating the scene.

Amidst the barrage of “dimensionality reduction strikes” that drifted across the entire screen, a golden message suddenly flashed by: “It is recommended that 208 million people in the domestic entertainment industry collectively pay to attend classes.”

This phenomenal cross-platform discussion reached a climax when the official media intervened. The official Weibo account of the China Daily reposted the airport video with the caption: "Treat others with sincerity, and you will be treated with sincerity in return." When public figures learn to turn the spotlight into a streetlight, they illuminate the future of the entire industry.

The topic tag "Operation Qinglang in Progress" at the end of the article made the onlookers smell something unusual.

Keen entertainment reporters discovered that a "fan waiting area" was suddenly added to Terminal 3 of the Capital Airport.

What is even more interesting is that the wording and sentence structure of the "Initiative on Rational Star Chasing" urgently issued by the studios of several top artists are surprisingly 70% similar to Jiang Qing's on-site speech.

“This is the real breaking circle effect.”

The editor-in-chief of Phoenix Entertainment lamented in his column.

"When fangirls began to use the [Jiang Qing-style response] to demand their idols, and when security companies promptly launched the [contactless VIP channel] service, we saw not only the victory of personal charm, but also the public's redefinition of a high-quality idol."

The public opinion monitoring platform showed that 4 hours after the incident, the term "Jiang Qing fans pick up at the airport" spawned 17 industry sub-topics.

The most surprising thing is the "Jiang Qing-style Communication" emotional course launched by a marriage and dating agency. The slogan reads: "Learn these three tricks and make him/her as fascinated by you as the fans who pick you up at the airport!"

The Shanghai Theatre Academy took the lead and compiled the incident into the "Artist Public Relations" case library, and the PPT clearly listed a mind map of Jiang Qing's response strategy.

When students at the Shanghai Theatre Academy took notes on key words such as "empathy first," "instant feedback," and "value guidance," no one imagined that these concepts would later spread to the entire entertainment industry along with their graduation theses.

At the same time, in a high-end apartment in Shanghai.

The cold light from the tablet made Wang Qianran's pupils turn misty blue. She bit her hairpin and clicked on the super topic editing page, her fingertips hovering above the keyboard for a moment of hesitation.

After more than ten seconds, her slender fingers began tapping on the screen.

"Jiang Qing's super topic to all the star pickers"

She took a deep breath as she typed the title, and when her eyes focused again, they became extremely focused.

The afterglow of the setting sun outside the window passed through the gauze curtains, casting light and shadow on the blank notebook beside her. It was the golden quote from Jiang Qing's open class that she had copied the day before yesterday.

“When we look up at the starry sky, it is always the light under our feet that truly illuminates our way home.”

She glanced at the paused image of Jiang Qing's airport video in the split screen, and her ears felt hot at the sight of his youthful smile.

A throbbing heart, the like of which I had never felt in twenty-two years, surged through my chest.

"Sisters, watching the airport video today made me both proud and heartbroken. The close-up of Jiang Shen's wrist being squeezed red was like a rose thorn piercing my heart."

She switched to the photo album and selected a nine-square grid: Jiang Qing's wrinkled shirt hem, beads of sweat on the security guard's forehead, and a passerby's knocked-over Starbucks paper cup...

The last picture specifically includes an analysis of Zhang Jiangqing's micro-expressions when he said "I should be richer than everyone else", with fluorescent arrows marking his hand that subconsciously protected a gentleman passerby who was about to fall while he was speaking.

"True love is restraint, it is protecting the light in his eyes from being disturbed by the clamor."

"From today on, we agree: no airport pick-ups, no comment manipulation, no data mining."

"When he walks towards the greenhouse, we are the quietly growing wisteria. When he passes by the human world, we turn into broken gold among the sycamore leaves."

The moment she clicked send, she let out a long breath.

After a short break, she quickly switched back to the new rules for the super topic.

"From now on, it is strictly forbidden to pick up photos from the airport in this super topic. Those who successfully report it will be rewarded with a high-definition photo of Jiang Shen's open class!"

Three minutes later, her special attention list was collectively changed, and the originally overwhelming airport candid photos turned into a hand-painted version of "New Rules for Star Pickers".

Seeing this, Wang Qianran finally grinned and showed a relieved smile.

She opened her tablet and clicked on the audio with the note "Open Class on April 2020, 4" in the folder marked "Jiang Shen's Open Class Audio".

She collected all of this with great difficulty.

Then, Jiang Qing's voice slowly rang out through the tablet.

"There's no need to chase after true stars. When you become your own light, we'll eventually meet in the Milky Way."

"Dear students, I look forward to seeing you at the top."

……

Listening to Jiang Qing's gentle voice, Wang Xianran leaned against the head of the bed with his knees hugged, suddenly lost in thought.

She had already learned from President Jia that Jiang Qing had refused to play the role of Meng Yanchen.

In fact, she didn't have much hope deep down in her heart, but she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

but……

Although she couldn't wait to play against Jiang Qing, it didn't prevent him from becoming more and more important in her heart.

She believed that she would get closer and closer to Jiang Qing, just like he was in the Magic City now, and she was also in the Magic City!
Thinking of this, Wang Heran suddenly stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

She wanted to try her luck.

5:20 pm, No. 18, The Bund.

The traffic in Shanghai is really too congested.

When Chen Duling pushed open the revolving door, the setting sun dyed the sky brightly.

The female staff member at the front desk in the first-floor lobby glanced at her carefully made-up face. Even though she was wearing a mask, the young girl still recognized her as a little-known female star.

"Ms. Chen Duling, the exchange meeting has ended. Everyone has now moved to the banquet hall on the sixth floor."

"Uh...thank you."

Chen Duling subconsciously adjusted her mask and nodded politely to express her gratitude.

Turning her head and looking around, she quickly found the elevator.

She stepped into the elevator and looked at her own uncertain eyes in the mirror as it went up, and took a few deep breaths.

Calm down, must be calm.

Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, it's not the first time we meet.

How to say……

Yes! This is the second time anyway.

"Ding……"

Following the prompt tone, the elevator slowly opened.

Chen Duling glanced at the spacious corridor outside the elevator and forced herself to calm down quickly.

She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again three seconds later, her whole state changed drastically.

She straightened her back, pulled down her mask, raised her red lips slightly, and put on a graceful and light smile, then walked out of the elevator lightly.

The movements were smooth and flowing, without any pause.

As she stepped into the corridor, there was no trace of nervousness on her pretty face.

However, an unexpected event occurred.

The warm yellow wall lamps in the corridor on the sixth floor suddenly became dazzling, and the gilded invitation glowed coldly in the hands of the security personnel at the banquet entrance.

"I'm sorry, Miss Chen Duling, but you need an invitation to enter the banquet."

"Look, this is what I have in my hand."

"My friend is inside."

Chen Duling pretended to be calm and raised her chin slightly, and the hem of her red skirt gently swept across the access control sensor.

"Name?"

The staff member performed her duties conscientiously, and the blue light of the tablet illuminated the thin layer of sweat on the tip of her nose.

"River……"

Realizing something was wrong, she made an urgent turn with her tongue.

"Mr. Jiang!"

At this point, all she could do was talk nonsense and try her luck.

The security guard raised his eyebrows slightly, lowered his head and quickly clicked the screen a few times, then looked up at her.

"I'm sorry, Miss Chen Duling, there's no one named Jiang among the attendees."

The crystal chandelier suddenly dazzled people.

Chen Duling clenched her handbag tightly, her cheeks feeling slightly hot.

She had not expected this awkward situation.

When I came here, I was only thinking about how to say the first words to Jiang Qing when I saw him, but I didn't expect that now I can't even get through the door.

Is it God's will?
"Excuse me, Miss Chen Duling's friend is me."

"It's my fault for being so careless. I was so busy chatting with my friends that I forgot to pick her up."

When the familiar yet unfamiliar voice sounded, Chen Duling suddenly tensed up.

Jiang Qing stood seven steps away with one hand in his pocket, smiling at the figure in front of him whom he hadn't seen for five years.

The security personnel retreated hurriedly.

"Mr. Jiang, Miss Chen Duling said her friend is a man named Jiang..."

"It's Jiang."

"Ms. Chen's Mandarin isn't very good. You heard it wrong."

He walked forward and extended his arms, inviting the beautiful figure he had not seen for many years.

"Am I right, Host Chen?"

Chen Duling turned around and looked at him as if nothing had happened, then she put her hand into his arm, with a slight curve at the corner of her lips.

"Yes."

"Student Jiang Qing."

When their eyes met, a smile slowly spread across their eyes.

In the floating light and shadow under the banquet chandelier, the pause button that was pressed five years ago is restarted at this moment.
