"This bad brother, what did he say? He’s going to take us to dinner? And drive us to Fei’er’s fan meeting?!"
Wang Yan and Li Qiang felt sure they must have heard wrong.
However, seeing that Qin Tian was already standing at the door with the car keys staring at them, they still followed him outside, albeit skeptically.
"Qin Tian... Brother, are you really taking us to Fei’er’s fan meeting?"
Following behind, Wang Yan looked astonished.
She knew that her family would definitely oppose such a thing, and so would her cousin Lu Qing. Yet Qin Tian agreed? And even offered to take them?
"Yeah, since you guys wanted to go, let’s all go together. I might as well see for myself how beautiful this Fei’er is you keep talking about."
Qin Tian chuckled, turning back to look at Wang Yan and Li Qiang, "But if you’re coming with me, it’s simple. Tonight, you have to listen to me, and I guarantee you’ll meet Liu Fei’er. However, if you don’t obey, I’ll definitely take you back halfway..."
"We’ll obey, we’ll definitely obey!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yan and Li Qiang were nodding vigorously, overjoyed.
Seeing this, Qin Tian also laughed, thinking, oh, celebrities really are celebrities. When did Liu Fei’er get such hardcore fans? I’m actually pretty happy about this.
Speaking of other celebrities wasn’t necessary—which since Wang Yan and Li Qiang were hardcore fans of Liu Fei’er, Qin Tian had no reason to prevent them from attending the fan meeting. Besides, he was also interested in seeing little Fei’er.
As they drove to the Panda Entertainment Center, Wang Yan and Li Qiang were extremely excited, passionately discussing the upcoming scene of meeting Fei’er tonight.
Qin Tian asked them why they liked Fei’er, to which Wang Yan said, "Because she’s beautiful, and, she acts well. I like her because she isn’t pretentious, doesn’t have scandals, and the way she played Fei’er in ’The Story of the Revered Consort in the Imperial Harem’ was so lifelike. Her acting skills are really great."
"Exactly, she’s like a fairy sister in my eyes. I searched online, and Liu Fei’er’s acting career seems very inspiring. I heard that two years ago, she didn’t even qualify as an extra... Tsk, Qin Tian Brother, don’t you think that Liu Fei’er’s story is inspiring?"
Talking about Liu Fei’er, Wang Yan and Li Qiang seemed to know everything about her, even appearing to understand her better than Qin Tian.
All Qin Tian could do was force a laugh and ask, "So, ’The Story of the Revered Consort in the Imperial Harem’ is quite popular?"
"Of course it’s popular! Everyone at our school follows it, and my classmate’s mom watches it every day," Wang Yan responded excitedly. "If it weren’t for ’The Story of the Revered Consort in the Imperial Harem’, I definitely wouldn’t even know about Liu Fei’er."
Li Qiang said, "Right. Qin Tian Brother, you’re not going to tell me you haven’t heard of ’The Story of the Revered Consort in the Imperial Harem’, are you? It’s been all over the place this past month. Weibo and entertainment news papers feature news and gossip about it every day. A lot of the news is related to Liu Fei’er."
As he spoke about these events, Li Qiang, as a hardcore fan of Liu Fei’er, was practically spitting with enthusiasm, "After ’The Story of the Revered Consort in the Imperial Harem’ aired on Zhonghai TV, it became the ratings champion of its time slot in just a week, supposedly breaking Zhonghai TV’s thirty-year viewership records. On the internet, ’The Story of the Revered Consort in the Imperial Harem’ reached over a billion views within a week. Impressive, right? Qin Tian Brother, you really haven’t heard of it? No way!"
Seeing Wang Yan and Li Qiang’s incredulous expressions, all Qin Tian could do was blink and chuckle.
Brother, I don’t just know about "The Story of the Revered Consort in the Imperial Harem"; I invested in it. I’m the big boss!
Qin Tian didn’t bother explaining anything to these two little brats. After driving near the Panda Entertainment Center, he searched for relevant news on his phone and was instantly invigorated.
Just as Wang Yan and Li Qiang had said, in the past month, "The Story of the Revered Consort in the Imperial Harem" had been incredibly popular. Consequently, both the lead and supporting actors had gained fame.
Among them, Liu Fei’er, with her beautiful appearance and popular role as "Snow Consort," had become the most recently famous star of "The Story of the Revered Consort in the Imperial Harem", even ranking first on the trending list on Weibo!
Qin Tian obviously hadn’t anticipated this situation.
However, this is the current state of the Huaxia entertainment industry: as soon as a show becomes popular, actors can instantly explode into fame and become national idols overnight!
Liu Fei’er always had the qualities to become an idol; she was gentle and lovely, beautiful and generous, and a good actress, especially in costume dramas where she resembled a celestial beauty. Thus, Liu Fei’er’s rise to fame was within Qin Tian’s expectations.
However, Qin Tian hadn’t expected Liu Fei’er to rise to fame so quickly.
He had originally planned for Liu Fei’er to make a big hit as the female lead in Zhang Yimou’s next movie. Haha, unexpectedly, "The Story of the Revered Consort in the Imperial Harem" had made her famous overnight.
The three dined on steaks at the Luxe Steakhouse next to the Panda Entertainment Center. Around six o’clock in the evening, some fans could already be spotted in the plaza outside, wearing shirts with "Snow Consort" and "Liu Si" printed on them.
Even inside the Luxe Steakhouse, many were discussing the anticipated arrival of Liu Fei’er.
Qin Tian observed that Liu Fei’er’s fan base mostly consisted of seventeen and eighteen-year-olds from high school, along with some college students in their early twenties, both male and female. He felt a sense of satisfaction inside.
Since Qin Tian brought Wang Yan and Li Qiang here, these two little brats had really changed their attitude and were extremely respectful towards Qin Tian, constantly calling him "Brother Qin Tian" compared to their previous "bad guy" references—a world of difference.
Moreover, these kids also listened to Qin Tian now. At dinner, when Qin Tian instructed them to study hard and listen to their parents, they didn’t oppose him like they had opposed Lu Qing’s education before; instead, they nodded in agreement.
Such are the youths today; as long as you can connect with them and gain their trust, they will listen to whatever you say.
"Snow Consort has arrived!"
"Wow! Liu Fei’er is here!"
Just as the three finished their meal and were heading outside the restaurant, a sudden commotion arose around them. Then, Qin Tian saw countless people swarming toward the main entrance of the Panda Entertainment Center like ants.
Qin Tian saw that from a distance, hundreds of security guards had already formed two human walls to hold back the enthusiastic fans. Meanwhile, on the distant slope, a black Audi, escorted by two motorcycle police officers, was slowly making its way over.
Sitting in that high-end, luxurious car was probably the recently immensely popular Liu Fei’er.
