Chapter 223: Die-Hard Fan (4)
Xia Siyu had never paid attention to the online abuse, but she did have some impression of the dedicated fans who had followed her for five or six years.
Especially when things were going well, it was normal to be surrounded by flowers and applause, but when she was down and out, the fact that there were still people who supported her, understood her, and trusted her, meant their affection was different. Three years ago, when her public image collapsed and she was vilified online as a homewrecker, it just so happened that her new movie was released. She had changed three apartments in one month, and her roadshow was sabotaged with eggs thrown at her.
A massive number of fans unfollowed her, with some even turning from fans to haters, constantly disparaging her. She was in the middle of a dispute with her former agency, having just joined Qin Baizhou’s team, and everything was a mess. This Shengxia Yanyu whenever she went to a roadshow, to make sure the cinema would not cut her screening schedules, spent a lot of money in the cities she visited to buy movie tickets and give them to her fan club to ensure the supply for the cinema theatres, probably spending close to a million yuan.
And it wasn’t just this one time, for all her movies that followed, he quietly paid to book entire theaters. All in all, he spent about three million yuan.
In the entertainment industry, having such a super fan was like having a god of wealth, a financial backer. Xia Siyu would even joke with Wei Jingjing that if she couldn’t make it anymore, she would just follow this Shengxia Yanyu classmate. Someone who could casually spend several million to be a fan, what kind of family must they come from?
Moreover, the big fans in the entertainment circle are either professional fans fostered by the agency themselves or some delusional fans willing to rush to the front lines for fights and swear, manipulating data. Of course, there are also rich second generations who might use aliases to chase stars, but even they, having spent the money, would at least want to meet the person in question, right? Not to mention some sugar daddies spend money with the hopes of sleeping with her.
But this Shengxia Yanyu, aside from spending money, rarely showed his face and joined her fan club, mostly remaining silent. When he did act, it was with money.
Even after sending Wei Jingjing to contact him and after countless private messages, he never replied and kept a low profile like a phantom.
Unexpectedly, he had now become the host of a “Fable CP” trending topic.
And just so it happened, Shengxia Yanyu was online.
Even more coincidental, a minute ago, Shengxia Yanyu had liked a video, a CP fan video of her and Bo Yan.
It takes eleven hours to fly from Europe to China, with about a six-hour time difference. If you take off at six in the evening, having been in the air for three hours, it would be three o’clock in the morning in China time.
And at this time, Shengxia Yanyu was actually online.
After some hesitation, Xia Siyu didn’t log in with her main account as she hadn’t set up an invisible status, and as soon as she came online, everyone who followed her would see.
Although Bo Yan might not know, what if he happened to be surfing the internet right now, and happened to be on Weibo, and happened to carelessly search for her?
Using her alias account, she sent a private message to Shengxia Yanyu, “I am Xia Siyu’s alias account. I have no relationship with Bo Yan, and I don’t like being paired with him as a CP.”
The message was sent, and as expected… it sank like a stone in the sea.
That made sense, if she were in the same position and received a private message claiming the sender was some kind of national leader, she would likely consider it spam as well.
But Shengxia Yanyu was clearly still online. Three minutes later, Xia Siyu saw her liking another vote post, the content of the vote was, “Who do you think Xia Siyu is more compatible with? A. Bo Yan, B. Wang Zisu.”
Xia Siyu couldn’t stand it anymore and switched to her main account to log in.
She was just about to send a message to Shengxia Yanyu when suddenly…
