Zhang Yuan landed at the island country airport.

It's safe to say that he is very popular in the mainland entertainment circle recently.

Moreover, those 18 TV stations have already started broadcasting "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" one after another, and the CP of Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger has gradually become popular.

On various major forums, Ling'er and Yue Ru's party also started to argue with each other.

This will be more beneficial to the popularity of the TV series and several of the main characters.

Zhang Yuan was well aware of the importance of online public opinion, so he began to set up his own forum and fan group. At the same time, he would also target anonymous netizens who spread negative information about him on the forum.

These operations are still considered advanced and rare these days, but for Zhang Yuan, a "veteran", they are already basic operations.

He is too busy to manage these things.

Although Cheng Hao is smart, he has little interest in computers and the Internet.

So, he handed these matters over to Shu Chang, who was kind and gentle and relatively quiet.

She knew that she was helping Zhang Yuan with marketing and maintaining the fan base, so she treated them with even more enthusiasm than she did her own fans.

There are several fan clubs, and even overseas fan clubs.

After all, no matter what era, overseas students are always a very important consumer group for film and television dramas, and most of them have strong purchasing power and are high-quality fans.

They also have to rely on these movies and TV dramas to express their homesickness, so they are naturally more passionate.

Just today, as soon as Zhang Yuan came out of the airport, he saw a group of more than a dozen fans coming to greet him.

There are no such things as proxy photographers these days, and there is no system of professional "airport pick-up fans". Those who can come are basically real fans.

"It seems that Changchang is really trying hard to help me."

"She must have posted my itinerary in the overseas fan group and arranged for someone to pick me up at the airport."

“Then we will arrange for photos and return to the group to increase the cohesion of the group.”

"The little brain is still useful. He already understands the basics of marketing and positive cycles."

"Just for this, I have to buy her an expensive bag as a reward!"

He was not wearing sunglasses, a mask, or a hat, nor was he doing any disguise, so as soon as he appeared, he was spotted by fans holding small signs and flags.

"Li Xiaoyao is here!"

"My Murong Fu!"

"I still prefer his Song Qingshu. He is delicate and his badness is so pitiful."

With a friendly smile on his face, he walked up to greet these friends.

"Thank you for taking the time to come."

"I'll treat you to dinner sometime."

"Thank you for the gift."

Before the advent of the Internet platform era, domestic entertainment artists were basically "living people".

A so-called living person will say what he thinks and will not just use clichés.

He often personally gets involved in fights, and it is common for him to curse at fans and other artists on the Internet.

That year, the two Bing girls even called each other "sister" at the award ceremony, claiming to belittle themselves but actually implying the other's age.

Zhang Yuan quite liked the atmosphere at that time, which was much more real than the carefully packaged information cocoon that followed.

So he also treats these friends with sincerity.

After taking photos, signing autographs and wishing blessings one by one as required, the leader set up a camera and prepared to take a group photo.

At this moment, they also unfolded the banners that had been prepared long ago.

Zhang Yuan had a friendly business smile on his face the whole time, but his face darkened in an instant when he saw the big words on the banner.

"Warmly welcome Zhang Yuan to Japan"

Zhang Yuan: …

Who do you want me to fuck?

"Come on, Eggplant!"

Zhang Yuan held his breath, used his acting skills to suppress his speechless emotions, and put on a smile again.

"Another one, please."

"Everyone raise your signs."

There are not many people, but there is a lot of work.

How to do?
I can only pamper her.

After all, they are your bread and butter.

I have put in a lot of effort to gain this little bit of popularity, so of course I must cherish it and maintain it carefully.

Just as they were taking pictures one after another, a burst of enthusiastic exclamations suddenly broke out not far away.

It was like a chicken coop exploded, with a lot of chirping and noise.

When they turned around, they saw that at least a hundred people were charging towards a small group of people.

There were about ten people in that small group of people.

There were six or seven big men in black clothes on the periphery.

Zhang Yuan had come into contact with Huang Julong and his gang several times. He could tell from their temperament that these big men were security guards, and professional bodyguards at that, and they were very expensive.

Surrounded by bodyguards, there were two short young men, carrying large and small bags and pushing luggage. They looked like assistants.

Next to the two assistants was a young man of medium build, dressed exactly the opposite of Zhang Yuan, fully armed with a mask, sunglasses, and a hat.

This young man walks in an arrogant manner and looks very cocky, but Zhang Yuan sees through the surface and sees the essence. These are all his protective colors. In fact, he is a little panicked now.

Even overseas, he is so popular and still so young...

Zhang Yuan guessed it immediately.

"that's amazing."

Of course it’s Jay Chou!
"It seems that there is still a big gap between me and Jay Chou." Zhang Yuan compared the number of people who came to pick us up at the airport, and then chuckled.

He has a very peaceful mindset, without any envy, jealousy or hatred.

Just like what the White Dragon King said, Jay Chou’s luck alone is enough to overwhelm everyone in the crew.

Of course, Zhang Yuan is an exception, after all, he is more metaphysical.

Apart from Zhang Yuan, Jay Chou's ability and luck can be said to have reached the "cheating" level.

My family members have achieved their current success through real abilities. They have suffered a lot and worked hard to achieve their current success. There is nothing to be jealous of.

His contemporaries include Leehom Wang, David Tao, Guo Donglin... No, JJ Lin.

Let’s take a look at their origins, family conditions and backgrounds.

If you look at Jay Chou’s, you will understand what “the body becomes holy” means.

This participant was spotted by Wu Zongxian and was brought into the company.

I wrote "Tears Know", but Liu Dehua rejected it.

He wrote "Nunchucks" and "Ninja", but was rejected by A-Mei Chang.

This was a huge blow, being disliked by two of the most popular singers at the time, and most people would have wanted to die.

It should be said that Zhang Yuan has always believed that it was Wu Zongxian who was causing trouble.

Because his Alpha Music only had four employees at that time.

Two of them are named Jay Chou and Vincent Fang.

Then he bankrupted the company.

It's really impossible to even raise it to SSR level, and it's just being used as a white card.

His ability to run a business is basically at the same level as that of Brother Hua in his early days, which is very cruel.

Later, musician Yang Junrong met this shy boy and asked him if he had any works.

Jay Chou casually took out a cassette from the drawer, which contained the song "Lovely Woman" which he had sang harmony, composed and written.

This led to Wu Zongxian selling the company to Yang Junrong and Jay Chou's rise to fame.

Later, he founded a company with Jay Chou and Vincent Fang, and it went public in 2023.

"Does anyone of you like Jay Chou?" Zhang Yuan turned and looked at his fans.

"Of course I like it!"

These people's eyes were wide open, and they were eager to rush over.

But after all, I was there to pick up Zhang Yuan at the airport, so it seemed a little inappropriate to do so. I was afraid that he would be sad and embarrassed, so I held back.

“Shh…” The leader waved his hand, interrupting the fan who was expressing his excitement about Jay Chou, and then said, “We still like you better.”

"Yes, yes, we are all your loyal fans."

The leader took the lead in expressing his loyalty, but he still couldn't help himself and asked in a low voice.

"Brother Yuan, can we go join in the fun?"

After all, it's so rare to see Jay Chou, and anyone who isn't excited is just pretending to be a grandson. "Don't go." But Zhang Yuan stopped him immediately.

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts and realized that something was wrong. The idol was angry.

At the same time, I also felt that he was stingy and felt dissatisfied.

But he immediately followed.

"You don't have to go over there."

"I came to the island country this time just to film with him."

"Please leave me your contact information and I will ask him for an autographed photo and send it to you."

"Really!" The leader looked at him in disbelief.

"Of course, if you have other requests, as long as they are not excessive, I can help you with them."

"Are you familiar with Jay Chou?"

"I don't know him for now." Zhang Yuan said confidently, "But in order to help you get some benefits, I can get to know him better."

Slurp...even the leader was moved!
My idol helps us chase stars, what a treat...

These dozen people were laughing and cheering, and they all felt that today's trip was worth it.

I also feel that I didn’t follow the wrong person.

[Received thanks from Zhang Zijun, Japanese basics +1! ]

[Received thanks from Tian Xin, typing speed +1! ]

[Received thanks from Jiang Ping, language talent +1! ]

……

Zhang Yuan took out his notebook and asked them to write down their contact addresses.

"But let me make it clear in advance. I can help you get autographs, but you can't treat this as a business. You can't sell it for money. Got it?"

"Definitely!" The leader patted his chest and promised: "I will announce this matter on the forum and Tieba."

"If anyone among us does something like this, I will report it and kick him out!"

After saying goodbye warmly to these fans, he got on the vehicle arranged by the crew and went to the filming location to meet with the staff.

I could even see them waving at me from the rear window.

"So this is what it feels like to be together offline..." Zhang Yuan found a comfortable position and took a short rest.

The group of people at the airport turned around and looked at the hundreds of Jay Chou's fans who were being pushed and shoved by the bodyguards, being driven away like flies.

It’s not that Jay Chou is not approachable, and what these bodyguards did was right. What if they caused trouble to their boss?

Who knows if there are any psychopaths among the fans?

"Hey, even though we are few in number, we are treated well!" said the leader proudly.

"That's right, Brother Yuan is so polite, just like an ordinary person, without any airs."

"Yeah, he doesn't have bodyguards or assistants, he just goes around by himself."

"That's so down to earth. When he talked to us, he was like a friend. I had the illusion that I was just chatting with my neighbors."

This group of people also met Zhang Yuan for the first time.

Obviously, they all had a very deep and positive impression of their idols.

"I'll post today's events on the forum and in the fan group when I get home."

“I will send it too.”

“I’ll send it too!”

Look, if you treat others with sincerity, the tap water will come now.

After getting off the car, I went to the hotel to drop off my keys and then went to the room to drop off my luggage.

I went back to the lobby and got a hotel brochure.

"Wow, maybe it turns out that being a country with many volcanoes has its advantages."

"In addition to being able to easily encounter gifts from nature,"

"There are indeed enough hot springs. There is even a private hot spring in this hotel."

Zhang Yuan thought that it would be great to take a bath after work to relieve stress.

“I just don’t know if the crew will reimburse me.”

He was just thinking about how to get free stuff from the crew, but he saw a man carrying a portable DV camera, surrounded by several assistants and bodyguards, entering the hotel lobby.

The size of this person's team is obviously much smaller than Jay Chou's.

“He still loves photography so much…”

The person who came was none other than Uncle Benshan, no, it was Edison Cheng!

Zhang Yuan walked forward with a smile, thinking of saying hello first.

"Hello."

"Get out of the way." The bodyguard instinctively stretched out his hand, trying to move him aside.

"This scene looks so familiar. Fan Bingbing's bodyguards stopped me in the same way back then." Zhang Yuan recalled the past.

But now he is no longer the same person as before.

As soon as the bodyguard's arm reached him, he was grabbed by the wrist.

Use your index finger and thumb to pinch hard.

This place is called Cunguanchi. Once a martial artist is stuck in this position, he will be unable to move forward or backward, and the initiative will completely fall into the hands of the opponent.

What does it mean to strike first?
The bodyguard felt pain and looked at him in shock.

The other bodyguards were about to take action when they saw Zhang Yuan extending his arm towards their boss.

"Hello, Edison."

"I'm Zhang Yuan. We'll be acting together on the set later, so let's get to know each other in advance."

Brother Edison was stunned, took off his sunglasses and looked at him, then hurriedly stretched out his hand.

After a simple handshake, Zhang Yuan smiled and released his arm, as well as the bodyguard: "See you on the set later."

"See you on the set." Brother Edison gave a complicated smile and then nodded slightly.

Looking at Zhang's back as he walked away, Edison Chen looked at the bodyguard beside him who was shaking his arms with a bitter face.

"Are you OK?"

"Boss, this guy is so powerful..." The bodyguard patted his arm vigorously.

Now his entire right arm has lost all feeling and is completely numb.

"That's amazing." Brother Edison breathed a sigh of relief: "He must be an extraordinary person to be able to defeat that loser Shawn Yue."

Many people think that Edison Chen and Shawn Yue are old partners from "Infernal Affairs".

Moreover, both of them later became very successful in the fashion industry, had their own fashion brands, and reaped great rewards.

With similar interests and experiences, they should have a good relationship...

Alas, we cannot say that they are as close as brothers, we can only say that they are sworn enemies.

First of all, the two men’s later fashion brands competed with each other in business, and they even reported each other for plagiarism and constantly harassed their opponents.

The cause of all this is actually very common.

It’s the same reason why many conflicts arise between men, two words.

woman!

It also lets young men know that a woman’s purity cannot be judged solely by her appearance.

Some people look pink when viewed from above, but black when viewed from below.

Some people appear pure on the outside but are lustful on the inside. This is called pure desire.

Shawn Yue, on the other hand, played with the young lady while filming a movie.

Edison Chen: Who stole my model away?
Last year, Edison Chen and Man Lok had a fight in public backstage at the Jade Solid Gold Awards because of this incident, and the conflict was exposed.

It was originally planned that the two would work together again this time, but Edison Chen and Wen Le were actually not very happy about it.

But Liu Weiqiang questioned the need to form a team with the old members, so the two could only give him face.

Now that Shawn Yue has been replaced, Edison Chen feels relieved.

Finally I don’t have to act with that loser!

I feel much happier.

But Zhang Yuan’s strong behavior just now made him feel a little daunted.

This is why he has a complicated look on his face.

"It's not like a bad guy left, but a more difficult one came..." (End of this chapter)
