Chapter 213  : Luck Can Come Late or EarlySeeing the brief email, Meng Fan immediately envisioned the middle-aged man with fading hair and a noticeable scratch on his face.“It can’t be?!”The guy he met this morning was the remarkable director Charlie?!Meng Fan hurriedly searched up this Director Charlie.

It sounded like a very western name, but his last name was Cha and his name was Li.

He was from Yuanhua, Haining, Zhejiang province, and shared a name with Chaliang Yong, Chaliang Zheng, and other similarly named figures from the same region.There were photos too.

Although the photos showed him with denser hair, the features were more or less the same.What a coincidence!Being hit by the diamond ring wasn’t the kind of luck Meng Fan wanted, but what happened after definitely was.This +1 luck was delayed.“Yes.”Meng Fan’s response was a brief one as well.Shortly after, he received a Wechat contact request.Approved.“Hello, director Charlie.”Director Charlie responded with a heartwarming voice message.

“Hello, hello.

Hahaha, what a coincidence?! I just saw some news regarding you during an arcade basketball tournament, and I recognized you immediately.

Thinking about it, your name was familiar, so I looked through the applications my assistant organized and really found your name.”“My assistant showed me your application before, and I added it to my file since it was pretty promising.

Oh right, you’re already a world record holder and planning to attend a concert.

Are you still interested in dubbing?”Meng Fan responded immediately, “Of course, drawing and dubbing manga are my dream!”“Then let’s schedule a time to meet up tomorrow and chat?”“Okay.”Meng Fan didn’t think he would hear a response from his dubbing applications because of a diamond ring.

He was in a wondrous mood as he headed backstage through the employee package.“Congratulations!”“Congrats man!”“Badass!”Several people on the backstage had been informed of Meng Fan’s results that afternoon, and seeing him approach, half of them had congratulated him while the other half teased him.

Although Meng Fan wasn’t too familiar with them, he had a good temper and was very likable, and would always bring food or call take out, so the employees were all welcoming of him.“You really are a badass!”Su Qing Cen was already in makeup, and once her designated hairdresser finished her first hairdo, he immediately snatched Meng Fan on Su Qing Cen’s command and began working on him.“Just something casual is fine, it doesn’t have to be very crazy.”Meng Fan’s hair wasn’t long, and his hairstyle was average as well.

The hairdresser gave him some pictures, saying these were suitable for Meng Fan.

Meng Fan immediately rejected these.

They all required his hair to be cut, which was fine for a stage performance, but would be too excessive in normal life.Would they trim it again after the performance? His hair was too short to stand such procedures.He settled on a hairstyle, did some simple makeup, and tried on the costume he had selected beforehand.

If there was anything wrong, there was still time to fix it.Hangzhou was the second stop for Su Qing Cen’s concert.

The first stop already started with a bang in Shanghai, and she’d been preparing for a long time for this second performance.

However, the scale was much smaller, since it wasn’t inside a gymnasium, but a stadium instead.

At most, it would fit 20,000 people.Why couldn’t she just host it at the Huanglong Gymnasium?She could, but her company and the crew were afraid it wouldn’t fill up.

They felt it was better to stay on the safe side.

It was impossible for each concert to have an audience of 50,000 people; even the most famous celebrities can’t perform in a gymnasium for every concert stop.

For a normal tour, it was already incredible to perform in two or three gymnasiums for 50,000 people!For a popular celebrity like Su Qing Cen, it was rare that she would host a concert.

Normally, she hosted fan meets, fan clubs, and small scale concerts, such as birthdays.The box office sales were the biggest pressure.

Although these idols all had a huge fanbase, there weren’t many who could actually attend a concert.

8000-1000 is a normal number, but it was hard to say if they could reach 30,000-50,000 viewers for each concert.

If they didn’t fill up a venue, it would be detrimental to their reputation.Another main reason is that they did not have that much original music.A large scale concert took at least three to four hours, which meant you needed at least thirty or so presentable songs.

This was a large amount for an idol singer.Su Qing Cen was a bit different from other idol singers tho.

One, she had a much better live performance, and two, she had a lot of songs.

Since her debut, the other idol singers only released EPs, but she had released five albums and five EPs.

Among these, there were several top hits too.Su Qing Cen was an idol singer that could still be popular even if she wasn’t in the idol industry.

The reason was simple.

If you asked a random stranger what popular songs an idol singer had, they would be stunned.

They might have an impression, but it was not deep, nonetheless who sang it.

But if you asked a passerby what songs Su Qing Cen had, most people would be able to hum a song or two.This was the main reason Su Qing Cen dared to go on tour.The concert began at 7:30 pm, so the entire stadium had been filled to the brim by 7:00 pm.Naturally, Su Qing Cen’s fans were willing to buy tickets to see her, but unlike other idol singers, there weren’t many idol fans present.

These fans probably took up a quarter of the seats, while the other three quarters were all passerby fans.What is a passerby fan? Basically, they were the fans who thought Su Qing Cen was good at dancing and singing and came to experience the concert.

If they didn’t like it, they could just stop listening to her, for they were never in her fan club, to begin with.

The hobby of chasing idols was like a flavoring agent in life, it accounts for a small portion, and doesn’t affect life as a whole at all.It was hard to commence a 10,000 person concert with just diehard fans alone.The concert began at 7:30 sharp with the song, “Fairy”.After the 11/11 gala, the song “Fairy” had blown up overnight.

It was one of the most anticipated songs at the concert.This time, it was once again accompanied by a sand art performance, but there was a big difference from last time.

Because it had been streamed, their performance had been filmed in the air, using different angles and a bird’s-eye views.

This time, the visual stimulus and effects were prepared for the live audience instead.

The projection on the stage ground was removed, and replaced with a movable background projection.The final result was quite spectacular, especially when viewed from the audience.The opening show was perfect!Meng Fan harvested 32 lethality points and went backstage to rest.

He also received countless applause and screams from the audience.

Most of them had seen their “Fairy” performance during the 11/11 gala and knew of Meng Fan’s identity.

To them, it didn’t matter who he was; all that mattered was that he was a fan of Su Qing Cen.Long ago during her concert in Shanghai, many fans learned that Meng Fan was a fan of Su Qing Cen.

At the time, Meng Fan wasn’t even a known streamer.If a certain celebrity was a fan of Su Qing Cen, they would at most brush it off with a “Shan Jin bro is so badass”, but to Meng Fan, they had a wondrous resonance.Hence, Meng Fan had a special place in the heart of Su Qing Cen’s fans during this concert.“Huh?”After stepping down to check his lethality score, he also noticed that the [News Figure] stats for task phase 2 had increased by +1.“The sports news is being broadcasted tomorrow morning; is there another state-level media covering me?”
