Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 142 "The Don't Laugh Challenge"

……

……

Shanghai

It is a major hub for comic conventions in China, hosting numerous large-scale conventions every year, the most famous of which is the COMIC UP Doujinshi Exhibition (CP for short).

This is also one of the oldest and largest fan-created comic conventions in China.

Abi's significant investment is undoubtedly aimed at further promoting its influence among young people.

—Inside the venue,
The convention center's dome hangs high, and the venue is teeming with people.

Rem, wearing a pink wig, tiptoes to hand milk tea to blue-haired Kato Megumi.
Madara Uchiha's fan nearly struck Tatsumi, who was wielding the Imperial Arm "Possessed by Evil Spirits".

Colorful wig fibers floated in the air, and flashes of light chased Luffy's straw hat and Gintoki's Toya Lake wooden sword.

Furthermore, a team of Kaneki Ken's blood-red kagune arrogantly swept across the passageway.

"Handsome, wanna collect stamps?"

The girl with Toshiro Hitsugaya's white hair had just raised her Polaroid camera when Eren, who was running, bumped into her and knocked her wig askew.

The variety of anime cosplay characters is dazzling.

But without exception,

99% of young people cosplay characters from Japanese anime.

From the four major shonen manga to the wildly popular Attack on Titan and Ghoul...

It has everything.

A very small percentage of young people, around 1%, wear Hanfu (traditional Han clothing) for girls and armor for boys, or just regular short-sleeved shirts and blouses.

The only character that could be considered a cosplay was Zhang Qiling from "The Lost Tomb".

Wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt and carrying a replica plastic long knife on his waist, he attracted a lot of attention as he walked.

"Hey bro, can we take a picture together?"

Qi Wu held up a selfie stick, her sleeves billowing, to show the viewers in the live stream the cosplay image of the young man.

"Oh, are you Teacher Qiwu?"

The passerby who was cosplaying the guy covered his mouth in excitement, then turned around and realized it was a girl. "I really love your silk-pulling act!!"

"It's not my love affair, it's my younger brother's."

Qi Wu's lips curled into a smug smile, revealing his sharp canine teeth.

After taking a photo together, Qi Wu continued to check off his next target.

"Haha, Qiwu really likes Gu Qing."

"That's right, Abi's most famous mom fan, she tweets like crazy every day to get her fans to watch The Journey of Flower."

"I will never forget that when the streamer saw Gu Qing's younger brother go offline, he cried so hard that he snorted snot."

"You're the one blowing bubbles from your nose, mine is..."

She Si Qi Wu wanted to explain, but after stammering for a long time, she couldn't find a suitable reason.

She became famous overnight.

Qiwu unknowingly created a new track.

It's a reaction to watching "The Journey of Flower".

After each episode airs, the reaction videos updated on the site all get hundreds of thousands of views.

It's much easier than her painstakingly learning and practicing songs.

Especially when Gu Qing went offline,
She cried her heart out, even snot was bubbling from her nose, and the video has been viewed nearly three million times, making it no exaggeration to say that it went viral on the entire Abi platform.

"Should we make a compilation of 'Don't Laugh' reactions when my younger brother participates in Running Man?"

"How about we call it the 'Don't Laugh Challenge'?"

Qi Wu never expected that chasing after a star could lead to a meteoric rise in his career.

Her younger brother is truly her 'treasure'!

When will Qiwu go to meet her idol in person?

"Yeah, yeah, I see Qiqi frantically licking the screen while watching Gu Qing in videos all day long. I wonder what her reaction will be when she meets Gu Qing in person."

"I'm afraid the streamer is a giant on the internet but a clown offline."

"Are you kidding? How could a streamer be a clown?"

"I'm not afraid!"

Qi Wu caught another girl who was wearing both black and white stockings.

After taking the group photo, he touched her leg, which made the girl roll her eyes at him shyly, calling him a "pervert."

"Hehe, so smooth."

Qi Wu's pretty face surprisingly revealed a hint of lewdness.

"By the way, didn't Uncle say there was a big surprise today?"

Faced with a screen full of question marks, Qi Wu abruptly changed the subject, "Where exactly is the surprise?"

Outside the venue,
A long, luxurious RV slowly drove up, attracting the curious gazes of many people.

—Inside the train carriage, "Bro, will this trick really work?"

Lu Yang was nervous, his gaze fixed on Gu Qing, who was dressed in a black flying fish suit and was incredibly handsome.

Don't say it's him.

Even the usually composed Wang Qianyuan and the taciturn Zhang Zheng looked unnatural and embarrassed at this moment.

Is the film crew promoting their work at a comic convention?
This is truly unique in the Chinese entertainment industry!

But this is only the beginning.

In the future, some film crews will go to nightclubs to promote their shows, release compilations of themselves showing off their bodies, or even go to live-streaming e-commerce hosts to thank their families...

They'll do anything to increase the show's popularity.

"Brother Lu, don't worry, I've already talked to the platform, they've specifically given us time to promote our content."

This is much better than you and your older brothers working so hard, traveling back and forth between several cities.

After Gu Qing helped Wang Qianyuan and Zhang Zheng tidy up their sleeves, he got up and walked towards the back of the RV.

Zhou Yiwei and Zhu Dan were sitting inside.

"Wow, little brother, you're so handsome!"

Zhu Dan stamped her foot, maintaining her usual fangirl demeanor, "But I still prefer your image as Sha Qianmo, you're as beautiful as a jade maiden."

"Xiao Gu, do you think this outfit suits me?"

Zhou Yiwei was wearing coarse linen clothes, and a replica Miao knife was placed on his lap.

He is also very introverted.

"Yiwei is great, he has a lot of masculine charm."

Gu Qing felt embarrassed by the compliments.

He continued walking inside, gently knocking on the closed door, "Senior Sister, are you done changing?"

"Little brother, it'll be ready soon."

"Teacher Gu Qing, please wait a moment."

The voices of Liu Shishi and her assistant could be heard coming from the bedroom.

"After you change your clothes, remember to check that you haven't forgotten anything. I don't want any weird stuff on my bed."

Gu Qing reminded him.

"You little brat, you think you can look down on me?"

"Believe it or not, I'll stuff your socks under your pillow!"

Liu Shishi's embarrassed and annoyed voice could be heard from inside.

“Does it smell?”

Gu Qing asked in surprise, "Your athlete's foot is contagious?"

"Ahhhhh!!"

You're the one with athlete's foot!

Liu Shishi, inside the room, was both annoyed and amused.

How come she's so cute when she doesn't tease me?

The 'conflict' between her and Yang Mi is well-known.

otherwise,

Liu Shishi really wanted to give this recording to someone.

Lu Yang, Zhou Yiwei, and the others in the front seats were all trying not to laugh.

Xiao Gu is so outspoken!

—The little assistant inside the house

He smoothed out the last wrinkle for Liu Shishi, ensuring the beautiful and serene woman was flawless, before finally letting out a sigh of relief and praising, "Sister, just two words: absolutely gorgeous!"

Do you think I really have athlete's foot?

Liu Shishi hesitated as she lifted her embroidered shoes.

"Sis, Teacher Gu Qing was just teasing you. You actually took it seriously."

The assistant was both amused and exasperated. "Why don't you take off your shoes and I'll smell them for you?"

"no, I'm fine."

Liu Shishi quickly shook her head, looking at the cosplay outfit she had changed out of on the bed with some regret, "Can't we really wear these clothes to the promotion?"

Although she is not a traditional anime fan, she still came from the era of bishoujo anime.

and,

Liu Shishi also said in a media interview that she loves watching Miyazaki's animated films the most.

Gu Qing suggested going to an anime convention to promote the play.
She agreed without even thinking about it.
