"Do you think I would do something I wasn't sure about?"
Gao Fei chuckled at the computer, retorting without looking back.
Jin Qiqi blinked her eyes and looked at the comments on the computer. "Out of a hundred comments, apart from praising your enduring talent and regretting that the film cannot be released in the mainland, it seems no one will go to Hong Kong specifically for a movie."
"Just because there aren't any now, doesn't mean there won't be any in the next second."
Gao Fei, with his back to her, picked up his phone, found Wang He's number, and dialed directly.
About half a minute later, the call was finally connected.
"Hello? Old Gao!"
Wang He shouted from the other end.
Apart from the booming DJ music, there were also various giggles from women in the background.
"Go out and take this call, I have something to discuss with you!"
Gao Fei yelled back.
After about two minutes, the noisy music and shouting finally subsided.
"What's up?"
Wang He asked, letting out a belch.
"Uh, have you been free to come to Hong Kong recently?"
"It depends on what you need me for. If it's about making money, I'll be there tomorrow. If it's just for eating and drinking, I'll need to schedule it!"
"Damn, you've completely gone into the money-grubbing business now."
Gao Fei cursed with a laugh, then continued, "The film company still has two movies that haven't been released. One can only be released online, and the other can be released in theaters."
"Did you act in it?"
"No, but I'm the chief screenwriter! And I have a few cameo scenes!"
Wang He's eyes lit up, and he immediately said with a smile, "Tomorrow at noon, remember to pick me up."
"I've been a bit tied up with some matters lately and can't appear in public for now. When you arrive, I'll have Sister Jin pick you up."
Saying that, before Wang He could speak further, Gao Fei continued, "Besides discussing the theatrical release, I also have something I need your help with."
"Spit it out, what is it?"
Gao Fei got straight to the point and laid out all his plans.
After listening, Wang He was silent for a moment, then laughed helplessly, "Old Gao, you must know my current situation. If it were before, I would have agreed without hesitation. But lately, I'm really a bit tight on cash."
"Don't your family have a private jet? You pay for the flight, and I'll cover all expenses to Hong Kong!"
"Deal!"
They chatted for a bit and hung up the phone.
Jin Qiqi, who had listened to the entire phone call, raised her eyebrows and gave a thumbs-up of admiration. "Alright, Boss, you're really going all out."
Gao Fei glanced at her and said thoughtfully, "Sister Jin, aren't you an administrator in Comrade Xiao Gao's community forum?"
"Yes, how do you want to do it?"
"How else? Just like Wang He."
Gao Fei shrugged and continued to instruct, "But do it low-key. Here's how you should do it..."
...
Midnight, Caesar's Palace, Kyoto.
After making the call and splashing some water on his face in the restroom, Wang He returned to his booth when his drunkenness had subsided by about half.
He took a couple of big gulps of water and shouted to the assistant manager beside him, "Tell the DJ to change to some light music. This music is hurting my ears."
"Got it, Young Master Wang!"
The assistant manager responded and disappeared into the dancing crowd.
Soon, the entire hall transitioned from energetic music to soothing songs.
Wang He leaned back on the sofa and sighed, taking out his phone and logging into his social media account.
After thinking for a moment, he quickly typed on the keyboard.
After composing and sending the post, he first sent a message to his assistant, then began sending text messages to different phone numbers.
12:30 AM.
"Young Master Wang charters a plane to Hong Kong."
Within half an hour, this trending topic quickly climbed to the top of the hot search on the three major social platforms.
Netizens clicked in, and the first thing they saw was Wang He's post.
"I am about to take over the family business. To continue to go wild one last time, I will select one hundred and fifty fans from the comment section to fly to Hong Kong for a one-day trip via charter plane.
The deadline is after six o'clock tomorrow morning.
Also, other celebrities will be joining the trip. As for who, that will be revealed when we depart."
Within half an hour of posting, the post received over 100,000 likes and nearly fifty thousand comments.
In the comment section:
[Congratulations to Young Master Wang on taking over the family business. As a fan of ten years, I really want to be favored by Young Master Wang once.]
[Honey, I can be both sweet and cool, and I'm no less than any of your internet celebrity girlfriends. I hope you'll pick me once.]
[I hope Young Master Wang doesn't have too strict gender preferences. After all, colleagues are true love. Honey, look at me, look at me.]
[Praying to God for me to be lucky this time. I'm really not doing this for money, I just really want to be pampered by Young Master Wang.]
The male fans' comments were a bit unconventional.
But the female fans' comments were quite explicit.
There were also some casual netizens who were not Wang He's fans but were very willing to participate in such an event.
Because, besides Wang He, there would be other celebrities joining. It was like opening a blind box, regardless of whether they were their favorite stars or not.
In short, it was a win-win situation!
Meanwhile, Wang He's assistant began selecting one hundred and fifty lucky winners from these tens of thousands of people based on the boss's usual criteria for choosing women and the requirements the boss had just given.
...
The next morning.
Wang He's social media account was logged into again.
In addition to the post, he also attached a screenshot.
"I have already privately messaged the selected fans and netizens. Please remember, the account that privately messages you for winning will only be this account. Please do not be deceived.
The one-day trip to Hong Kong will depart tomorrow. For fans and netizens from other regions, I have already reimbursed your travel expenses, so you don't need to bear any burden."
The image was a list of winners for the Hong Kong one-day trip.
With the post and image released, the trending topic of "Wang He charters a plane to Hong Kong" once again hit the hot search.
Fans and netizens who missed the event last night were now looking at the one hundred and fifty lucky winners, feeling both regret and envy.
After all, this one-day trip was all-expenses-paid by Young Master Wang.
Moreover, besides Wang He, other celebrities would also be joining. Who knew if the unrevealed celebrities were their idols.
Just as Wang He was inviting fans and netizens to Hong Kong for a one-day trip.
Gao Fei, who had not appeared in public or online for a long time, suddenly and rapidly climbed the hot search charts on the three major platforms.
The trending topic was 'Gao Fei's fans organize a group trip to Hong Kong.'
Gao Fei now had tens of millions of fans, but also half of them were anti-fans.
Therefore, when a trending topic related to him appeared, it soared like a rocket, directly surpassing Wang He's hot search and quickly entering the top twenty.
The organizing of fans to travel to Hong Kong not only attracted the curiosity of anti-fans but also attracted many casual netizens to click into the hot search to find out.
First, Wang He was leading his fans on a trip to Hong Kong, with other celebrities joining.
Now, Gao Fei's fans were organizing a group trip to Hong Kong.
This couldn't help but make netizens suspect that the celebrity Wang He invited might be Gao Fei.
But when they clicked into the hot search and saw the reports from entertainment media, they were instantly speechless.
The most liked entertainment media's post read:
"Gao Fei's fans, in support of the film 'The Impish Corpse' for which he wrote the screenplay, have spontaneously organized a group trip to Hong Kong to watch the movie."
Below the post were screenshots of chat logs from fan groups on social platforms.
From the image, it could be seen that Sister J, Gao Fei's top fan, was spontaneously organizing an activity in the fan group, inviting fans to go to Hong Kong to support the movie, and all food, drink, and entertainment expenses would be covered by Sister J.
This Sister J appeared in three fan groups, with five hundred people in each group.
Of the fifteen hundred fans, nearly five hundred participated in this activity.
Looking at the screenshots from the fan groups, both anti-fans and casual netizens were silenced.
And in the comment section, the debate was raging.
[I didn't expect our Comrade Xiao Gao's top fan, Sister J, to be a wealthy woman. If I weren't studying, I would really want to participate in this event.]
[The quality of our Comrade Xiao Gao's fans is getting higher and higher. First, there were various female business owners, and now there's a wealthy woman. I hope Comrade Xiao Gao doesn't succumb to the money of these wealthy women.]
[It's an honor to travel with Sister J to Hong Kong to watch the movie written by Comrade Xiao Gao. According to insider information, Comrade Xiao Gao might even appear at the scene.]
[Comrade Xiao Gao will appear? Envious!]
[Envious +1]
The fans' comments were constantly scrolling.
Meanwhile, the anti-fans, who had recovered from their shock, also began to act.
[Gao Fei's fans have gone mad. He's already said the film rights have been sold, and you're still traveling thousands of miles to Hong Kong to watch the movie. I'm impressed.]
[Looking across the entertainment industry in China, this is the first time I've seen fans organize a group trip to watch a movie whose rights have been sold. Your group of fans' actions are truly incomprehensible.]
[I hope after watching the movie, you all go to the hospital to see a psychologist. Cursing you.]
[Anti-fans should also have some manners. It's enough to curse Gao Fei's fans for being mad, don't engage in personal attacks. Heartless.]
[Conversely, if I were Gao Fei, with so many female fans and wealthy women, wouldn't I be a groom every night? It's really enviable that Gao Fei has it so good!]
Gao Fei's fans organizing a group trip to Hong Kong to watch the movie truly impressed the anti-fans.
As for the casual netizens, they offered no evaluation or comments.
After all, it was a spontaneous action by the fans, and Gao Fei was not involved, so there was nothing to comment on. They would just watch the battle between fans and anti-fans.
Wang He and Gao Fei were internet traffic giants.
One led his fans to Hong Kong for food and entertainment.
The other's fans spontaneously went to Hong Kong to boost the box office for a movie whose rights had been sold.
Suddenly, this became a focal point for mainland media.
...
Eight o'clock the next morning.
A private jet from the Wang Group and two passenger planes from Capital Airlines took off, heading for Hong Kong.
At ten o'clock in the morning, five planes took off from Kyoto Airport, also bound for Hong Kong.
Because the media were paying close attention, planes with different itineraries took off one after another, and they were all going to Hong Kong.
This was immediately posted online by the media.
11:20 AM.
The private jet from the Wang Group and the planes carrying fans landed.
When Wang He appeared with a large entourage, the mainland media who had already arrived in Hong Kong began snapping photos from all angles.
Noticing the two men and one woman accompanying Wang He, the media were stunned.
"These two men are not the big stars Hao Yacheng and Wang Anyu! And this woman is not the national girlfriend, Dilireba!"
The media focused their cameras on the group, taking photos from various angles.
When the photos were uploaded to mainland social platforms, they caused an uproar.
At the same time, nearly hundreds of vehicles from cities near Hong Kong, such as Shenzhen and Guangzhou, headed towards Hong Kong.
