Chapter 149: Chapter 146: No Fan Club
Li Ke was just about to leave when he saw a commotion erupting over there.
"What are you doing? This spot belongs to us."
"We’re not even bothering you! Just carry on."
"Not bothering us? Then why did you set your table up right in front of ours?"
At this moment, Mu Yunchu was practically livid at the girl in the white dress in front of her.
After negotiating with the program crew, they had been granted permission to set up their fan support stall in this area. What they hadn’t anticipated was Lu Bingbing’s support team outright taking the spot in front of theirs.
"What do you mean? This is our support spot. What’s wrong with being here?" The girl in the white dress glared right back.
Just as things were about to escalate, people from both sides stepped in to pull them apart.
"This was clearly our spot, and now they’re here taking it over. Let’s go talk to the program crew!" Mu Yunchu shouted angrily, unable to hold back.
Xiao Du gently pulled her aside and gathered the others away from the scene. "Everyone, calm down. Something about this feels off—it might be intentional on the program crew’s part."
"Intentional? How do you know?" Ever since last night’s debacle, Mu Yunchu had come to see Xiao Du as her biggest support.
"How could the program crew mess up something as simple as assigning support locations? They’re way more experienced than us. Plus, didn’t you notice someone secretly recording us?" This sentence left everyone stunned.
"Brother Du, are you saying they’re deliberately stirring up trouble to frame us?" a young man asked.
"Highly likely. Perhaps the program crew is already in cahoots with Lu Bingbing’s camp."
A cold smile appeared on Xiao Du’s pale face. He wasn’t particularly striking in appearance, yet there was something about him that made him instantly memorable.
"Then what should we do?" another girl asked anxiously.
"We’ll still go to the program crew to clarify things. You all don’t engage with them. Get out your phones and start recording. In situations like this, they won’t dare act recklessly," Xiao Du instructed. freёweɓnovel_com
After delegating these tasks, he said to Mu Yunchu, "Let’s you and I go find the program crew. But don’t get your hopes up too much. If it doesn’t work, we’ll request a different spot. And if that fails, we’ll pack up and distribute our materials elsewhere."
"Alright," Mu Yunchu agreed, though she quickly added in frustration, "But why is it always us making the concessions?"
Xiao Du gave a helpless laugh and said, "We have no choice. Don’t forget—they’ve got a company backing them with all the marketing accounts in their hands. If a conflict breaks out, they’ll flip the narrative online, and we won’t be able to dispute it."
Hearing this, Mu Yunchu and the others were now fully on board, realizing just how well-thought-out Xiao Du’s plan was.
"Both Ye Yuwei and Lu Bingbing are under Galaxy, aren’t they? When we discussed this with your company, we were told you’d each get your own spot for fan support."
Mu Yunchu was fuming at the staff member’s feigned cluelessness. Their fan club had already coordinated everything beforehand, and now the program crew was pretending otherwise.
"Sir, as you can see, our space is a little tight with both groups here. Could you help us expand it a bit?" Xiao Du asked with a polite smile.
"No can do. Everything’s already been decided. This area is approved in advance by the relevant authorities, so it can’t just be changed willy-nilly," the staff member replied curtly.
"Please, just make an exception. Our space really is much too small," Mu Yunchu interjected with a forced smile.
"What’s wrong with you people? Didn’t I explain it clearly? Why are you still arguing? Why is it that only Ye Yuwei’s camp is causing trouble here?" The staff member’s face suddenly darkened.
"I’m sorry to disturb you," Xiao Du said, pulling the now-fuming Mu Yunchu away.
Once outside, Mu Yunchu couldn’t hold back her anger. "What kind of attitude is that? Who do they think they are?"
"You’ll get used to it after seeing it enough times," Xiao Du said with a reassuring smile.
Mu Yunchu, for the first time, noticed how appealing Xiao Du’s smile was. Her face reddened slightly, and she didn’t dare look at him again.
"Let’s go back and pack up. We’ll divide the materials and hand them out in different places. We’ll leave this spot to Lu Bingbing."
"If we just leave like this, it feels so humiliating," someone complained.
"Hah! Don’t worry; this isn’t over yet," Xiao Du said, his inscrutable cold smile spreading across his face once more.
When they returned, the group quickly packed up, filming the process, before distributing the materials among "Rain Fans" to hand out elsewhere.
The members of Lu Bingbing’s support team were baffled to see the opponent’s group actually leave so easily.
Meanwhile, atop a skyscraper, Sun Miao was watching the scene below through her phone.
She was wearing headphones and holding a walkie-talkie in her hand.
Amid the crowd of fans, there were people planted by the program crew.
They were equipped with devices to transmit sounds and visuals from the scene back in real-time.
"There are some clever folks among Ye Yuwei’s fans, huh? They even saw through our plan," Sun Miao murmured to herself, the smile on her face turning icy.
What Sun Miao had been hoping for most was an all-out brawl between the two fan groups. The crew’s hostile attitude had been her doing as well.
But Ye Yuwei’s fans didn’t fall for it and dispersed instead.
The Galaxy team could only watch as they walked away. With insider information at hand, they’d intended to use the incident as leverage, hoping Ye Yuwei’s fans would resort to physical violence.
This was also why Galaxy had stayed silent when Ye Yuwei’s fan club independently negotiated their support spot earlier.
Unexpectedly, the opposing side disengaged entirely, leaving Galaxy with no move to make but to watch.
Xiao Du, meanwhile, was directing Rain Fans to hand out materials while asking a fan skilled at web design to upload footage of their support efforts to the official Ye Yuwei Global Fan Support Club Weibo account.
Simultaneously, another fan with a talent for writing drafted a heartfelt post.
It expressed gratitude toward the program crew for thoughtfully placing Yezi and Lu Bingbing’s fans in the same area to show support, given that both stars were from the same company.
However, due to fans’ overwhelming enthusiasm and large turnout, space was limited.
In a gesture of mutual respect, the "Rain Fans" graciously ceded the area to the Senior Lu fans, opting to distribute their materials elsewhere, even helping promote the senior artist along the way. The post included photos as well.
Though Xiao Du didn’t originally wish to post something so inflammatory, he recognized the importance of staying ahead, especially before the performance.
As expected, less than two minutes after their post went up, Lu Bingbing’s Weibo account accused Ye Yuwei’s fans of poor behavior and occupying spots allocated to support teams.
Evidently, the Galaxy camp hadn’t anticipated Ye Yuwei’s side being prepared.
The result? Their attempt at slander backfired, exposing themselves to widespread ridicule.
Many criticized Lu Bingbing’s group for being unnecessarily hostile, questioning how members of the same company could engage in such deceitful behavior to undermine a junior artist.
Embarrassed, they had no choice but to remove the accusatory post and accompanying video.
Instead, they issued a statement claiming it had all been a misunderstanding, but the public wasn’t convinced. This incident nearly destroyed Lu Bingbing’s favorable reputation with neutral fans.
In this way, the program crew accomplished some of their aims.
This fan conflict confirmed the program’s assessment: only the trainees with significant public interest could rally large fan support groups.
Moreover, only these trainees’ fans garnered interviews that would be featured in the widely shared mainstream version of the show.
As for the trainees with no popularity, the program wouldn’t spare them even a second of screen time.
But there was one exception: Lv Fangxin’s fan club.
To the program crew’s surprise, she didn’t even have a fan support team.
