Chapter 706
A grand meeting, only to lead to a dramatic missed encounter with you.
Chapter 706 A grand meeting, only to lead to a dramatic missed encounter with you.
Contrary to what netizens thought.
Knowing that many people wanted to attend Jinli's fan meeting, Chenxi Entertainment deliberately kept the event a secret and chose a date very close to the event to catch the fans off guard.
This will reduce the amount of time many fans have to plan to attend this fan meeting.
They rented a stadium for the event, which can hold up to 3 people.
However, Sui Lingfang knew that the number of people who went to the scene was definitely more than 3, and there would definitely be many fans lingering outside the stadium just to see Jinli.
To avoid causing traffic congestion or other safety risks, they suddenly appeared on the date.
In addition, there will be no ticket fee for this fan meeting.
Jinli used three methods to select fans to attend the fan meeting.
One way is to participate in a lucky draw if you check in on the blog's super topic for more than 30 consecutive days.
Another method is to participate in a lottery through a mini-program.
The mini-program's lucky draw is no longer limited to fans who have checked in for 30 days; all netizens can participate.
The last method is to randomly select from the comments.
The first method had the most participants, followed by the second, and the third had the fewest; all were drawn proportionally.
Many celebrities don't hold such grand fan meetings; most are small events with a few hundred or a couple of thousand people.
However, Jinli is a special case; her popularity has exploded recently!
Moreover, despite being in the industry for many years, she has never held a solo fan meeting, and many fans want to see her in person.
Therefore, Morning Light Entertainment ultimately chose a stadium that can accommodate 3 people.
As soon as the news spread, tickets for Jinli's fan meeting were resold at record high prices, reaching 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per ticket.
[This is absolutely outrageous! It's beyond ridiculous! Tickets are being released before the raffle even takes place! Do you guys really believe that?]
Don't believe it. I paid a 1000 yuan deposit, and now I can't contact them anymore. They said it was internal staff who had tickets but didn't want to participate, so they resold them.
[The official statement has already clarified that there were no internal tickets this time. If you are an internal staff member, you don't have a ticket at all; you use the employee entrance. They don't have any so-called internal tickets!]
[The lottery hasn't even started yet, how do scalpers have tickets? It's obviously impossible.]
There have been quite a few cases of people being scammed when buying tickets, and Jinli even mentioned this on her blog.
People should not easily trust external transactions, safeguard their valuables, and not give out QR codes or similar information to others indiscriminately.
On November 1st, Morning Light Entertainment announced the news, and on November 3rd, they immediately held the lottery draw because they needed to allow some time for fans to buy tickets.
After the tickets were issued, fraud cases involving the resale of tickets reached their peak in various regions.
Jinli was also named by state media due to the negative impact of this incident.
Although this has nothing to do with Jinli, she has posted videos multiple times urging everyone not to participate in high-priced transactions such as "ticket transfers".
She reassured her fans on several occasions.
"I'm not just going to hold one fan meeting. Don't forget that I used to be a singer and dancer. If you really want to see me, I'll try my best to hold a concert for you, okay? So that everyone can see me."
But fans simply don't buy into this.
Jinli's mouth is a liar's mouth~ Everyone knows that Jinli's health is not good. She has been saying for so long that she would hold a fan meeting. She has been saying it for several years. Finally, she launched the fan meeting this year.
I suspect that with such a big commotion this year, it might be cancelled indefinitely!
It has to be said that fans watch Jinli's live streams every day, and their thinking may have been somewhat assimilated. They quickly guessed Jinli and Chenxi Entertainment's ideas.
Chenxi Entertainment didn't expect that just holding a fan meeting would release 3 tickets.
Even so, it still couldn't satisfy the fans' enthusiasm, and scalpers emerged one after another.
If you find a reliable scalper, you can just pay the high price for the ticket and be done with it.
Unfortunately, many of them are not scalpers at all, but fraud groups that use this name to commit fraud.
Ever since the news of the fan meeting was released, Jinli has been on tenterhooks every day, and she's been checking her phone much more frequently.
She even brought this up every night during her study livestream.
"Everyone must keep their valuables safe and not do business with scalpers; nine times out of ten, they are scammers."
Even if it's true, tickets costing 20,000 to 30,000 yuan each are far too expensive. We absolutely mustn't let scalpers make that money. I will work hard to produce more film and television works so that everyone can see me.
"I will try to hold more than one fan meeting next year."
As for concerts, I'm thinking about it. My health doesn't allow for long concerts, but I might participate in various variety shows.
I'll do my best to make it easy for you all to see me, okay? Please don't buy tickets from scalpers at inflated prices.
Jinli was mainly worried that they would not only be cheated out of money, but also tricked into going abroad, which would be even worse.
Because there have been too many fraud cases, on November 5th, there were even rumors that Jinli's fan meeting might not be able to be held, with other departments stepping in to stop it due to concerns about security risks.
This rumor is true.
Jinan was thrust into the spotlight because Jinli chose it.
Other places were envious and wanted to use this incident as an excuse to force Jinli to cancel her fan meeting.
However, the officials in southern Shanxi were very decisive and actively communicated with higher authorities, which allowed the fan meeting to be held as scheduled.
November 9th.
The sky was clear, there were many people, the music was cheerful, and everyone was in a good mood.
Jinli's fans arrived at the club five hours early, including those who brought vitamins.
They made a lot of materials containing pineapple and vitamins, and exchanged them with others, discovering that many of their fellow fans were male.
It turns out that Jinli, this brilliant star, never shone only on a certain group; everyone realized her beauty.
Jinli's fans span a wide age range, including middle-aged people, young people, and students.
They gathered together and chatted happily.
An aunt said, "I've known Jinli for a long time. She's an exceptionally capable and strong girl."
At first, I just watched her live streams to pass the time. I wasn't interested in studying, but I found that I could understand some of the questions, so I kept learning with her. I never expected to get into university last year.
The aunt said proudly, "I'm a college student now!"
The young woman in her early twenties said, "When I was feeling lost, I saw Jinli's 'Counterattack,' and she gave me a new direction."
I once suffered from somatic anxiety dissociative disorder for a period of time. Whenever I was about to have an attack, I would watch Jin Li's movies and listen to Jin Li's songs to calm myself down.
Gradually, my symptoms improved a lot.
Now I've also come to love Taoist culture. Whenever I have time, I visit Taoist temples in different places to experience their atmosphere and feel a sense of peace within myself.
The college student said, "I studied with Jinli and got into college. Who would have thought that I was at the bottom of the class in my first year of high school?"
Everyone who comes to the fan meeting has a story connected with Jinli.
They were all influenced by Jinli, which helped them become better people. As the fans entered one by one, time ticked by, and soon it was six o'clock.
Suddenly, all the bright lights went dark.
The scene was plunged into complete darkness.
Some fans couldn't contain their excitement and screamed.
As if infected, more and more people joined in the screaming, wave after wave, the tide rising higher and higher.
Gradually, the fans started chanting one person's name, and that name was—
"Jinli!"
"Jinli!"
"Jinli!"
Suddenly, a beam of light shone on the center of the stage, and Jinli appeared on the rising and falling stage.
The moment the audience saw Jinli's outfit, they screamed wildly.
Wedding dress!
Jinli walked towards them in a pure white wedding dress!
At this moment, the fans' excitement burst forth.
It's no longer about fans wearing wedding dresses to meet their favorite stars; instead, it's about stars wearing pristine white wedding gowns and fans going together.
Jinli raised the bouquet in her hand, raised her eyebrows and smiled brightly.
The lights shone on her, and she looked as beautiful as an angel, as a deity, as if she didn't exist in this world.
"You didn't say goodbye when you left, did it break your heart?"
Turning away, a few smiles, a reluctant acceptance.
Maybe next winter, maybe another ten years.
I'll come back to your side and hold an umbrella for you...
It's hard for fans to describe how they felt at that moment; there was relief, excitement, tears, and smiles.
Jinli never thanks her fans, nor does she often interact with them.
But through this action, she expressed her love for her fans.
"Forgive me for dressing up with flowers, only to miss you."
I pray that natural disasters and man-made calamities will befall me, and I will only give you this fragrance.
But I humbly beg to remain even a trace of my former self.
So that you can remember in your dreams the strength with which I held you tightly…
-
"A grand meeting, only to lead to a dramatic and unforgettable missed encounter."
After the fan meeting ended, Jinli's wedding dress photos instantly went viral.
The media used flowery language such as "stunning beauty" and "a grand celebration" to describe the success of the event.
Fans used this phrase to describe the fan meeting.
Jinli didn't start with a pink, girly song; she wore the most beautiful wedding dress and sang Chen Xuedong's "Never Say Goodbye".
Some say that goodbye is for the next encounter, for meeting again.
"Never see you again" means never to meet again.
It's been seven days since the fan meeting ended, but I'm still stuck in the middle of it. I'm starting to understand Jinli's thinking. It turns out that this meeting was meant to make me miss her.
[Aww, she's so incredibly kind! She didn't say a single word at the fan meeting like "Stop chasing me, go be your own star," but I could feel it from the entire setlist and the stage arrangements—she didn't want us to chase after her anymore!]
[I'm so heartbroken! What celebrity fan meeting is this cruel?!]
Jinli is so kind to us. She encourages us to strive to be our own stars, instead of chasing after her star and neglecting our own lives.
She never asked us to vote in the charts; it was all voluntary on my part. I finally got to see her, and then she gently told me not to do it anymore, sob sob.
Other fans chase after their idols, spending money on rankings and gifts. I chase after Jin Li, and even though I don't spend a single penny, Jin Li still tells me to stop chasing her.
I completely understand Jinli's determination now. This should be her last fan meeting. It marks the end of her era as a celebrity. I can feel her determination to completely transform herself.
[Actually, the entire event was very heartwarming, but I cried from beginning to end.]
[I guess I'll only be able to see Jin Li in movies and TV shows from now on, sob sob. She's my favorite star, she's so wonderful, she's my ideal woman, no one can replace her!]
Because the fans' discussion was so heated, the hashtag related to Jinli quickly became a trending topic.
#Jinli, the eternal white moonlight#
#Jinli's fan meeting was brutal#
#Is Jinli retiring from the entertainment industry?#
The first two terms were somewhat understandable to casual netizens, but many people were baffled as to why the last one could trend on social media.
When you click on it, you find that it's just a fan's guess, but because it got a lot of likes and many fans agreed with it, it went viral.
Jinli's fan meeting was a chance for her to meet her fans, but she also advised them to stop chasing after her and enjoy their own lives.
That's good.
At least Jinli never intended to squeeze every last drop of blood out of her fans.
A gentle farewell is also a form of gentleness.
However, some fans felt that Jinli's actions were too sudden, and therefore thought she was going to retire from the entertainment industry.
Holding fan meetings is to stop fans from idolizing celebrities, and it's also a way of saying goodbye to one's acting career.
Regarding the rumor that "Jin Li has retired from the entertainment industry," both Chenxi Entertainment and Jin Li herself have repeatedly come forward to deny it.
During the period after her college entrance examination when she was admitted to Tsinghua and Peking Universities, the rumors were refuted most frequently because there were too many fabricated news stories, which made Jinli very distressed.
In her final response, she said it was the last time she would clarify the situation.
I will not respond to similar issues in the future.
This time, however, the fans' claims were so detailed and convincing that it was hard not to pay attention.
While netizens were still enjoying the gossip, Chenxi Entertainment quickly released interview videos from the fan meeting that day.
The host asked, "Now that you're a student at Tsinghua or Peking University, will you focus on your studies from now on?"
Jinli: "No, I will try my best to balance my studies and career."
If I had to choose a priority, it would be my career. I can study in my spare time, but I can't develop my career in my spare time.
Host: "But now all your gigs are scheduled for weekends and winter and summer vacations. Isn't that sacrificing your studies?"
Jinli smiled and said, "No, it's just that my career is quite different now. I don't need to be in the spotlight so often, which is why you all think I only started my career during my free time from studying."
Last month, "Counterattack" achieved good results overseas, and I followed the crew to various events for almost a month.
Compared to my previous frequent media exposure, I will focus more on my own life and explore more possibilities.
Host: "So, will you focus on acting from now on?"
Jinli: "Yes, I want to take on more different types of films and try new roles."
Netizens are seamlessly following the gossip.
Well, the rumors about him leaving the entertainment industry had just started to gain momentum when Chenxi Entertainment nipped them in the bud.
Jinli will indeed not make any further responses, but Chenxi Entertainment will still respond.
