Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 49 Powerful CP Fans

……

……

—Moon TV
"Ahhhhh!!"

"It's Qingqing! It really is Qingqing!"

"I finally saw her in person! She's even prettier than on TV! Oh my god!!"

"Little brother!! Big sister loves you!!"

"Where's Baby? Who's going to make up for the candy I'm missing?"

Gu Qing just got out of the car,

I was greeted with a welcome that was almost suffocating.

Almost all the female employees in the building gathered on the first floor and were screaming loudly.

Those with seats were by the door, while those without seats crowded inside. It was a huge crowd, waving their phones, support signs, and other items.

"Thank you for your support, thank you for your support."

Gu Qing nodded repeatedly in thanks and tried her best to fulfill requests for autographs and photos.

The TV station also intentionally allowed its employees to idolize celebrities, with the aim of creating hype.

The top trending topics that day were:
#Guqing Moon Terrace New Year's Eve Gala#
#Top idol Gu Qing surrounded by all the female fans on Moon Terrace#
#Gu Qing's younger brother is here, where is his older sister?#
……

Aside from the first two trending topics being about herself, the following ones contained the phrase "Big Baby".

This was pushed up by the fans of both sides who were shipping them.

You could say that.

Gu Qing and Da Baobei were able to rise to the top of the popularity charts through a variety show, not only because of their outstanding personalities, but also because they attracted a certain number of fans.

The rest of the fans are almost all fans of the two as a couple!
Gu Qing is slightly better.
Throughout the fifteen episodes, Lu Hao would arrange different female guests for him, more or less.

In addition,

There are plenty of memorable scenes.
These viral clips have attracted a lot of casual fans.

In terms of the overall fan base, CP (couple) fans should account for about 30% to 40%.

But Yang Ying is different.

Her main fans are those who ship her with other celebrities, making up almost 70% to 80% of her total fanbase.

Most of her iconic moments are now associated with Gu Qing.

These days,

The one who has suffered the most is probably none other than Huang Xiaoming.

CP fans are different from solo fans.

Solo fans are those who focus on a celebrity's personal life, paying attention to the artist's development, works, and commercial endorsements.

And what about the CP (couple) fans?

There are only two things I do every morning: eat sugar and produce sugar!

Emotional satisfaction is maintained through video editing, writing fan fiction (i.e., "creating content"), or uncovering hidden interactions (i.e., "finding sweet moments"), emphasizing collective creation and sharing.

Psychologically, some people project idealized intimate relationships and fill the emotional void in reality by shipping couples, forming a unique mentality of "I can be single, but my couple must get married".

As Yang Ying's boyfriend after she announced their relationship, Huang Xiaoming naturally suffered the most malice from fans of the "older sister-younger brother" couple.

My private messages are flooded with insults from CP fans every day, who call me a greasy old man and tell me to leave Baby alone.
They were even maliciously screenshotted and turned into memes to damage their image.

What can he do?
He's in pain too!
Under normal circumstances,

Huang Xiaoming should have invited Gu Qing to dinner privately a long time ago. Whether it was out of goodwill or malice, he should have made the other party mindful of maintaining a proper distance.

But the key issue is that,

These CP fans are all fans of her baby!
His girlfriend's fans don't like him!

Moreover, on variety shows
It was always her little darling taking advantage of someone else's younger brother, and Gu Qing always resisted.

What should he say?
Cough,

Little brother, next time my little one tries to take advantage of you, you shouldn't resist, right?

Holy crap!!!

Fortunately, the big baby had been through the world of fame and fortune and managed to appease Huang Xiaoming, preventing his Dao heart from being shattered.

……

——On the stage,

"Little brother Gu Qing, your sister has finally waited for you to come."

As the host of the New Year's Eve gala, Yi Yi saw Gu Qing, who was surrounded by admirers in the crowd, her face radiant with exquisite makeup.

She lifted her skirt, stepped forward in her high heels, and greeted him.

After recording the Xiushan Island special, she will be starring in the next episode of "Love Across the Century".

Because Yang Ying is on leave and not available.

Yi Yi naturally became Gu Qing's 'one-day partner'.

It was because of that episode that aired,

This led to an exaggerated increase in her popularity, gaining at least 300,000 to 400,000 new fans, and even forming a group of fans who ship her and Gu Qing as a couple.

Before that,
Yi Yi's blog only has a few thousand followers.

"It's Sister Yi Yi..."

Upon seeing who it was, Gu Qing forced a professional smile, simply nodding in greeting, not even daring to extend her hand.

Since that episode of "Love Across the Century" aired,
He was notified by his agent

Stay away from YiYi and don't get too close, lest she steal your attention.

With her years of experience in the entertainment industry, Li Li knows all too well what these people are capable of doing to become famous.

Once you've gotten on their good side, there's no way to shake them off.

Gu Qing herself didn't look down on people who tried to gain attention by associating with others.

Because he was forced by the company to start his career by piggybacking on the success of the four returning members of EXO.

But Yi Yi was too 'enthusiastic'.

He couldn't handle it, so he simply listened to advice and stopped contacting them.

A simple greeting,
Gu Qing took the microphone and went on stage to test her voice.

Yi Yi didn't dare to chat too openly at the station.

She was a rising star who was promoted, but she didn't have enough outstanding professional skills, so she must have "someone" behind her.

After singing a song,
Gu Qing then chatted with the planners of the New Year's Eve gala.

There are many topics.
The first issue concerns whether or not the singing was lip-synced.

Unlike the high standards of the Spring Festival Gala, local New Year's Eve galas give singers the opportunity to choose between singing live or lip-syncing.

Of course, generally speaking, most of them are still lip-synced.

Because with the advent of the era of data traffic...

There are far too many people who can't sing well, act well, dance well, or even speak well, yet still become wildly popular idols.

Some artists, in order to study how to lip-sync without being detected by the audience, will deliberately record a few lines with incorrect lyrics or add some heavy breathing.

It can be said that they put all their energy into deception.

Fortunately,

Gu Qing doesn't need to worry about that.

Whether in his past life or this life, he is very confident in his singing ability.

Hearing this,

Gu Qing wants to sing live, without needing to add backing vocals.

The gala's planner and music director exchanged a glance but said nothing.

If you sing well, the audience will praise the TV station.

Even a top star's disastrous performance can still generate buzz for the entire event.

For them, it's a win-win situation.

"Mr. Gu, do you have any requirements regarding the stage design?" the planner asked.

"Brother, you don't need to call me teacher. Just call me Xiao Gu, like everyone else."

Gu Qing smiled, thought for a moment, and said, "As for the stage design, I hope it will be more in the traditional Chinese style, without any backup dancers."

Just add a few fake peach trees, some antique-style window frames, screens, and lanterns to make the colors more vibrant.

"Then I'll take the liberty of presumptuously."

The planner's smile deepened. "Xiao Gu, isn't your stage design a bit too simplistic this way?"

If it were other celebrities,
He was hoping the other person wouldn't make any demands and would just leave after the song.

As one of the most watched artists at the New Year's Eve gala, Gu Qing deserves top-notch treatment.

If the fans find it shabby, they might criticize the TV station for being stingy.

Gu Qing herself didn't want things to be too extravagant.
"Just Met You" is a song that sounds very peaceful and gentle.

An overly elaborate stage can actually overshadow the main subject.

After spending more than two months in the entertainment industry,
Gu Qing has started to speak like a human being, "Brother, keep it simple. You guys work very hard on the gala, so I won't trouble you."

as predicted,

These words are heartwarming enough to say, let alone coming from the mouth of a top celebrity.

The unexpected concern brought tears to the eyes of the two middle-aged people!

If there is a level of favorability,

It's likely that the score jumped directly from 60 to over 90.

After Gu Qing was about to leave,

The two of them saw him off all the way to the door, waving goodbye with great reluctance, looking forward to seeing him again at the party.
