Chapter 97: The Tour
The video of Ming Qian practicing alone in the dance studio for Hey Brother, Let's Debut! wasn't spread too ostentatiously. It was just fans feeling sorry for him within their own fan super topic, followed by a group happily joking around, all expressing that they would wait to see the live performance on the actual day.
However, a small number of fans, unable to contain their frustration, vented on other forum platforms. The more they complained, the more convinced they became that their idol was truly special and superior to other artists.
Taking advantage of the platforms' anonymity, they explicitly named and disparaged the other five team members in their posts.
Anonymous zzz: In my opinion, that genius persona of Rong Yu will collapse one day, it's just a matter of time, I'll just sit and wait. And that Tao Li, clearly a plastic surgery face, what's there to be proud of? Besides being able to screech a few notes, there's really no strong point. That Chi Yang, always loves to show off his wealth, the accessories he wears are all expensive, who knows how many sugar daddies he's hooked. I really can't appreciate Wen Yu's face, it's too delicate, and he speaks too softly and weakly, not like a man. As for Fang Mengda, while he has a macho appearance, he cries frequently and unattractively. Every time I see him cry, it triggers a wave of intense secondhand embarrassment.
1st floor, Anonymous 1: Upstairs, you're just short of saying outright that you're Ming Qian's fan, right?
2nd floor, Anonymous zzz: Sorry, but I'm really not. So what? These days, if you don't like certain celebrities, you have to go all the way? If I dislike five, do I have to include the sixth one too?
3rd floor, Anonymous 1: Whether others are or not, I don't know, but your profile and photo album are full of Ming Qian, that's a bit too obvious.
4th floor, Anonymous zzz: Who cares whose fan I am? Are fan affiliations like ID cards these days? If I dislike someone, I must be a fan of their rival? What crap logic!
5th floor, Anonymous 1: I dislike Ming Qian, such a drama queen. Chi Yang's looks are more in line with my taste.
6th floor, Anonymous zzz: So you're Chi bitch's dog, get lost!
7th floor, Anonymous 2: Hahahaha, a massive scene of double standards hahaha!
As the thread grew longer and longer, many people who heard about it came to watch the spectacle of Ming Qian's fans displaying major double standards and getting their faces slapped at lightning speed.
The post's popularity kept rising. The original poster finally realized this wasn't good, quickly deleted the post, and vanished. The matter then quieted down a bit.
Given that the GCD boy band's first tour performance was scheduled for the next day, this minor incident was largely dismissed. After all, what celebrity didn't have a few overly zealous fans? Since no serious issues were involved, it was quickly brushed aside as everyone's attention shifted to the highly anticipated tour.
The tour's opening performance was set to take place at the J River Water Concert Hall in City A.
Fans had entered the venue early after having their tickets checked. The venue, capable of holding tens of thousands of people, was full.
To facilitate fan support, the staff had arranged fan support sections for all six members in all four directions of the venue. The group fan support sections in each direction were placed in the middle, with the individual fan support sections surrounding the group fan sections on all six sides.
After all, it was a group performance, so having the group fans support from the central position was something the individual fans had no major issues with.
Yin Chengjue had a special VIP seat ticket, allowing him to sit closest to the stage, directly opposite it.
Sitting next to him were some girls who had paid for VIP tickets. Each held a light board for their idol and carried a camera, clearly shouldering the important task of taking the best pictures of their little brothers from the best spot.
Thus, Yin Chengjue, a grown man sitting empty-handed among them, seemed somewhat out of place.
Yin Chengjue actually wanted to wave a light board with Rong Yu's name, but he had driven Rong Yu directly to the backstage this morning. To avoid being photographed and causing unnecessary trouble, Yin Chengjue had taken many detours, perfectly avoiding all crowded areas. After seeing Rong Yu in, when he thought about finding Rong Yu's fans to borrow a light board, he discovered... for this performance, no fans were distributing light boards outside...
Yin Chengjue, who had successfully borrowed light boards the previous two times: "..." Next time, he would buy a whole large box himself!!!
"Um, handsome? Are you a fan too?" A female fan sitting next to Yin Chengjue finally couldn't help but ask.
She had been noticing this man with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long, straight legs for a while. Although he was wearing a baseball cap and a large black face mask, basically hiding his face, being cool and handsome sometimes isn't just about the face.
The man was wearing a burgundy shirt with a black tie, fastened with a silver fish-shaped tie pin. A belt cinched his narrow waist, outlining his perfect figure. His black suit pants were neatly pressed, the legs reaching his ankles. His polished leather shoes had a slight wedge heel, but this didn't give a feeling of being calculating, because the man was tall enough already. Whether he wore wedges or not, when he stood up, she would have to look up to see his face.
She couldn't help but think secretly: With a physique like this, he's already handsome enough. Whatever his face looks like is just a bonus.
"That Chi Yang, always loves to show off his wealth, the accessories he wears are all expensive, who knows how many sugar daddies he's hooked."

Like Ming Qian.🤔
But what Ming Qian doesn't have that others have is time management in his career and that also applies to the director and his manager.
