Chapter 150 The Farce tushumi.cc

"Yes, we know each other. What's wrong?"

Xiao Qingfeng's calm tone drove Lu Zifan crazy. Was this how one should act when seeing their idol?

"Shouldn't you be surprised to see me?" Lu Zifan persisted.

Xiao Qingfeng: "I'm a little surprised, but shall I kowtow to you?"

This sentence completely enraged Lu Zifan. Is this how you treat your idol?

At this moment, Lu Zifan's manager, who was sitting behind him, leaned out and said, "Stop pretending. If you want an autograph, just say so. Don't try to get our Fanfan's attention with these fancy tricks."

Xiao Qingfeng glanced at his agent.

"Idiot!"

He swore and then immediately pulled the curtain shut.

Lu Zifan and his manager were left looking at each other in bewilderment. If they weren't on the plane and worried about causing a disturbance, the manager would have already gone up and scratched Xiao Qingfeng.

Lu Zifan said, "Sister Hua, don't take it to heart. He's just a small-time singer. He'll realize what he missed when he sees our fans at the airport."

The agent also said, "Don't worry, the company has made all the arrangements. There will definitely be no fewer than a hundred people picking him up at the airport this time. He'll be in for a beating."

The number of fans greeting a celebrity at the airport reflects the celebrity's popularity, so some celebrities and young idols often make a big deal out of this.

It is said that this has even led to the formation of an industry chain.

Most of these fans are hired for a price, with clear price tags.

Those responsible for shouting received between fifty and one hundred yuan each time, depending on the volume and duration of their shouts.

The fans who ran alongside received 30 to 80 yuan for each distance they ran, creating a lively scene of being frantically chased.

Fans who hold up notebooks asking for autographs can usually get between 80 and 150 yuan.

As for fans who pretend to faint from excitement, the pay is relatively high, generally between two hundred and five hundred yuan.

They would suddenly collapse at a crucial moment, causing a commotion, and people around would immediately swarm around them.

At this point, celebrities will typically step forward to show concern and nervousness, taking the opportunity to demonstrate their approachability and care, and further enhance their image.

This kind of thing has been exposed by industry insiders more than once, but many celebrities still do not repent.

The reason for this is nothing more than to maintain the popularity and commercial value of celebrities. Of course, many of these arrangements are made by management companies, but the celebrities themselves are happy to participate in them.

This was Lu Zifan's first return to China in six months, so his agency and partners had made arrangements for fans to greet him at the airport well in advance.

It's said that they invited over a hundred fans this time, and such a grand event is sure to quickly dominate the trending topics.

When fans arrive excitedly, Lu Zifan can take the opportunity to greet them warmly, which will gain him another wave of female fans and popularity.

Not only that, the agency also arranged more than a dozen bodyguards who would immediately surround her hand in hand as soon as she got off the plane, ensuring she would become the most dazzling person in the entire airport.

Thinking of this, Lu Zifan subconsciously glanced in Xiao Qingfeng's direction. How dare a little singer ignore him like this? Wait until we get off the plane, then I'll show you what a top star really is.

Today, Lu Zifan has no choice but to put on this act; even God couldn't stop him.

Xiao Qingfeng slept until the plane landed, only realizing they had arrived after being reminded by the flight attendant.

In fact, first-class passengers could use a special channel to disembark first, but Lu Zifan pretended not to know this in order to wait for Xiao Qingfeng.

Seeing Xiao Qingfeng get up and disembark, he then got up and followed him.

If you don't show off in front of others, it's the same as not showing off at all.

He wanted to be with Xiao Qingfeng and let Xiao Qingfeng see for himself just how popular he was.

Soon the two reached the entrance of the passage and were about to enter the hall.

Usually at this time, the fans waiting at the gate have already started shouting and waving their name tags.

Lu Zifan immediately quickened his pace, quickly overtaking Xiao Qingfeng and taking the lead.

He had already taken off his hat and sunglasses, and was now waiting to receive the cheers of his fans, observing Xiao Qingfeng's surprised expression.

Xiao Qingfeng hadn't thought about this at all, and simply walked leisurely toward the hall.

Lu Zifan stood tall and proud, a smile on his face, arms outstretched, waiting to receive the cheers of his fans.

Lu Zifan and his agent slowly walked out of the passageway, and in an instant, deafening shouts surged in like a tidal wave.

"Ahhh!"

"Look, look, we finally see one alive!"

The screams of the fans rose and fell, as if they were about to burst through the roof of the airport.

If it weren't for the guardrail in the middle, the enthusiastic fans would have already rushed up.

Lu Zifan held sunglasses in one hand and a baseball cap in the other, striking what he thought was a cool pose with his face tilted upwards at a 45-degree angle, thoroughly enjoying the cheers of his fans.

Just as he put his sunglasses back on and prepared to walk toward his fans, a loud shout suddenly rang out from the crowd.

"Where did this idiot come from? Get out of my way and stop blocking my brother's path."

This angry roar left Lu Zifan completely dumbfounded.

Lu Zifan's smile froze on his face. His eyes widened in disbelief.

He slowly turned his head to check once again the nameplates held by the frantically shouting fans, which clearly read "Xiao Qingfeng".

The huge banner at the end of the procession was particularly glaring under the lights.

"Welcome back to Beijing, Heavenly King Xiao Qingfeng"

Xiao Qingfeng?

Who is Xiao Qingfeng?

Lu Zifan's mind went blank, and all he could feel was a buzzing in his ears.

Just moments ago, I was immersed in the fantasy of becoming the center of attention, but now I am caught off guard by this sudden reality.

A strong sense of loss welled up inside me, as if I had fallen from the clouds to the bottom of a valley in an instant.

At this moment, the airport terminal was completely occupied by Xiao Qingfeng's fans.

They shouted Xiao Qingfeng's name at the top of their lungs, their voices seemingly able to penetrate everything.

"Xiao Qingfeng! Xiao Qingfeng! We love you!"

The unified slogans echoed in the hall, and everyone's face was filled with excitement and joy.

Some fans were so excited that they had tears in their eyes, and the name tags and light sticks they waved shimmered with colorful light under the lights.

The crowd surged forward, and despite security guards maintaining order, the fans' enthusiasm seemed unstoppable.

Fans craned their necks, trying to catch a glimpse of their idols.

Some fans even jumped up in excitement, with screams echoing throughout.

Amidst this frenzy, Lu Zifan seemed like a forgotten figure.

He stood there all alone, his originally prepared dashing pose now appearing utterly ridiculous.

His face was pale, and his eyes were filled with embarrassment and disappointment.

No one around him paid any attention to him, as if he were just an insignificant background figure.

Looking at Xiao Qingfeng surrounded by fans, Lu Zifan felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.

He once thought he would be the star of the show, enjoying the cheers and adulation of the crowd, but now he has become a nobody.

He bit his lip tightly, his hands unconsciously clenching into fists, but then helplessly letting them open.

The agent, standing to the side, was also visibly embarrassed. She tried to pull Lu Zifan away from this awkward situation, but Lu Zifan seemed frozen in place, staring unmovingly in Xiao Qingfeng's direction.

In the bustling airport hall, Xiao Qingfeng's brilliance shone even brighter, while Lu Zifan's figure appeared increasingly dim and insignificant.

At this moment, Xiao Qingfeng had just passed Lu Zifan and was startled by what he saw.

"So many people!"

Lu Zifan mechanically turned his head upon hearing Xiao Qingfeng's voice: "You... have you ever heard of someone named Xiao Qingfeng?"

"Xiao Qingfeng, that's me!"

Lu Zifan was instantly struck dumb, his entire body frozen in place.

"Are you Xiao Qingfeng?"

"Are all these people here to pick you up?"

Xiao Qingfeng said calmly, "It seems so!"

"......"

How the hell is that possible? How much money would it cost to have so many fans?

Lu Zifan expressed disbelief and even greater inability to accept it.
