Chapter 564
An ordinary yet extraordinary day.
On the morning of the 26th, the studio posted a press release on Weibo to celebrate Lu Qingfeng's birthday. Needless to say, many fans had been waiting for this post, refreshing the account early in the morning.
In the afternoon, one after another, celebrities familiar with each other in the industry liked and sent their blessings.
Despite not buying any traffic, this Weibo post is still hovering near the top of the trending topics list.
It was nothing special, quite ordinary, and didn't seem to match Lu Qingfeng's popularity.
Indeed, a few years ago, with the rise of popular celebrities, the scenes of fans celebrating their idols' birthdays were getting bigger and bigger.
Take Lin Lichen as an example. Last year, a big fan spent a fortune to book the exterior wall of a landmark building in Shanghai to send him birthday wishes. That event caused a stir on Weibo and became a trending topic.
This also demonstrates the immense purchasing power and commercial value of this top-tier influencer.
Lu Qingfeng's popularity has been comparable to Lin Lichen's since last year, and with his debut birthday approaching, most people in the industry feel that his momentum will be significant.
The fandom may seem huge, but the number of high-quality fans is actually limited. This is the core competitiveness of traffic stars, and these people are really willing to spend money.
The brokerage firm will also put a lot of effort into maintaining the relationship.
They have a general idea of how many of their artists' biggest fans have switched allegiances and where they've gone.
Over the past year, many top male celebrities have lost their core fanbase, which has ultimately turned to that man.
Not long ago, he got into another online spat with another influencer.
Many of these big fans are well-off princesses, and some are social elites. How could they stand this kind of treatment? Even if it's just to prove themselves, this time the scene will be no small matter.
What we are seeing now is merely the calm before the storm.
Everyone is waiting for night.
Some people also left comments in the comment section, saying that not many people in the industry came to check in and send their blessings.
It means that Lu Qingfeng is not popular.
This is a bit of a generalization.
Lu Qingfeng has only been in the industry for a little over a year, recorded two variety shows, and mainly knows people in the cultural and music circles. He doesn't know many celebrities in the entertainment industry.
But the person who said this naturally wouldn't bother to find out the truth; they were just using this as a pretext to attack.
The reason is still related to the airport pickup incident at the beginning of the month.
Another popular idol, He Lin, had a heated online argument with Lu Qingfeng's fans. Although He Lin was defeated, the feud between the two sides was established afterward.
Several more firefights broke out in May.
It hasn't stopped even now.
This is perfectly normal in the fan community; He Lin's management team might even be pulling strings behind the scenes.
What celebrities fear least is controversy; what they fear most is being ignored.
This is why many celebrities choose the path of becoming famous through controversy; if handled well, it can generate massive online traffic.
When someone attacks, someone will naturally fight back, but the number of people is small and it doesn't cause much of a stir.
Everyone's attention was drawn to other things.
One reason is that with the summer vacation approaching, many upcoming movies have started large-scale promotions. A total of nine movies will be released in June, including three imported films and six domestic films.
All the films that managed to squeeze into this release window are imported films and special effects blockbusters.
Three of the domestic films were comedies, which has been a box office magic bullet in recent years. Many films of this type have achieved great success with low budgets.
Naturally, everyone in the industry followed suit, eager to get a piece of the action.
The remaining two are romance films, and one is a realistic drama.
Apart from that realistic film that knew it couldn't compete and didn't have much publicity, the other films have put a lot of effort into promotion, with seven out of the top ten posts on Weibo related to these upcoming films.
There were quite a few people watching and discussing it.
In addition, official media outlets including Xinghua.com, Renmin.com, and CCTV released videos of the military exercises at the end of April this year, showcasing a large number of new equipment and tactics, which is truly inspiring in the current turbulent world situation.
Many people are discussing it below.
It's not surprising that Lu Qingfeng's birthday was included in this.
Before we knew it, it was five o'clock in the evening.
Lu Qingfeng posted a blog entry on his personal Weibo account, along with two photos.
The first document is a donation receipt for a charity organization, but the donors listed are not him, but thirty-two different nicknames, all sorts of different names.
The total donations amounted to 1,936,536.
There are both zeros and whole numbers.
The second image is a composite of four screenshots.
The images were taken from the Douyin backend. The first three images are of the accounts that sent the gifts, and the last image is of the total amount: 19,365.36 yuan.
Many people didn't understand it, some vaguely guessed what it meant, and only a very small number of people knew what these two pictures represented.
"If I remember correctly, last year, Lu's book 'The Astrological Murder Magic' won first place in a writing contest, and the magazine held an online reader's meeting for the top three winners."
At the time, someone gave him a gift, and then he turned off that feature, so not many people gave him gifts; it should be this money.
Someone left a comment in the comment section, revealing the whole story.
"Yes, yes, I remember that too. Back then, Lu was quite poor. When he was doing his live stream, his family had nothing. His fans told him to use the money to go to college, but Lu didn't want to accept it."
"So, is this how he's repaying the fans' kindness a hundredfold in the first place?"
"I prefer to call it a relay of love."
"Waaah, my eyes feel like they need to pee."
……
Before everyone could get into the mood, Lu Qingfeng's account posted three more photos.
The scene of volunteers from a charity organization posing for a photo with three children from the donated sites and guide dogs may not be widely known at the Lin'an School for the Deaf and Mute, but those who have watched "The Unending Voice" or even seen clips from the show will recognize the other two locations.
Everyone in the photo is smiling, indicating that the money was used where it was needed.
A large number of people flooded into the comments section of this Weibo post.
"This doesn't seem right. Isn't today his birthday? Why does it feel like Lu is celebrating his fans' birthday?"
"What an amazing celebrity! I love him!"
……
As passersby chatted excitedly and fans were in a daze, each with their own thoughts and feelings, Lu Qingfeng posted another Weibo message.
This time it's just a video.
Countless people clicked on it.
A piano appears in the center of the shot, bathed in sunlight streaming in through the window and cascading over the piano's raised lid.
Lu Qingfeng entered from the side of the camera, wearing his high school uniform, black and white, with the Suzhou No. 3 High School emblem on his chest, and the zipper was pulled up to the top just like it had been in high school.
The clothes that used to look baggy due to malnutrition now fit snugly as the boy grows taller.
She wore clean canvas shoes and had her hair cut into a student style, making her look well-behaved.
The fans who rushed over after receiving the news are going to cry again.
This outfit was given to them when they were eighteen!
Lu Qingfeng sat down at the piano and smiled at the camera.
Then he looked at the piano keys and placed his hands down.
