Chinese Entertainment 2014: Young Actresses Are Becoming Dazzling

Chapter 91 Fan Harvester

Within just a few minutes, Su Yu's Weibo followers surged by more than a thousand through word of mouth, finally breaking the two thousand mark.

Outside the film set, the screams that originally belonged only to Lu Han began to be mixed with some different voices.

"Su Yu! Su Yu, look this way!!"

"Lu Han, your master is so handsome!!"

As Su Yu walked to the car, he heard someone calling his name. He turned around and saw that it was Lu Han's fans.

A hint of doubt flashed in Su Yu's eyes, but he still walked around the car and waved to them with a smile.

"Wow!! Su Yu waved to us!"

"Su Yu! Su Yu!!"

"Ahhh, Su Yu is looking over here!"

There was a brief commotion, but the crew's security reacted quickly. Several staff members cleared the area outside the cordon and moved the fans back more than ten meters.

The production team also wrapped up work early, letting the actors go back to their cars to wait.

Sitting in the back of the SUV, Dilraba looked at the crowd of fans outside, still holding up their phones and refusing to leave, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Su Yu, why are your fans just as crazy as Lu Ge's fans?"

"Huh? That's not my fan, is it?" Su Yu said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Whose is that?" Dilraba blinked, then seemed to suddenly remember something.

"That group of fans of Brother Han this morning!"

Reba suddenly realized, and Su Yu nodded.

"Probably. I only have a little over a thousand followers on Weibo, mostly students from Jimei University. I've told them to focus on their studies, so they shouldn't travel all the way to Changbai Mountain to chase after celebrities."

"Wow! Those girls were practically glued to you! You're a total fan magnet! You've taken all of Han Ge's fans?"

Su Yu scratched his head awkwardly, and a moment later, Lu Han and Yang Mi also got into the car.

After Su Yu got on the bus, they were basically all screaming Lu Han's name, so Yang Mi's first words when she got on the bus were to Lu Han:

"Lu Han, teach me how to get my fans this enthusiastic!"

"Ah, actually I don't really know either..." Lu Han scratched her head and said.

"I'm so envious of you having so many fans..."

Reba looked at the crowd outside the window and clicked her tongue.

*Smack!* Yang Mi reached out and tapped Dilraba on the head. "Then why aren't you trying harder!"

"What's there to envy?" Lu Han sighed, sounding weary.

"I'm always on edge when I go out, afraid of being followed. It's exhausting!"

"Oh...that's true..."

Dilraba glanced at Su Yu and said softly, as if imagining what it would be like if she were caught by a bunch of fans following her when she went out with Su Yu in the future.

"Ugh, this is so frustrating..."

Su Yu couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at Reba's furrowed brows.

Stop dreaming, you don't need to worry about it.

Reba snorted and gave Su Yu a nonchalant punch.

The car slowly started moving. Su Yu leaned back in his seat, watching the fans gradually disappear into the distance and the twilight deepening outside the window. He was somewhat relieved that they weren't his fans.

It seems I need to post more positive messages on Weibo from now on, so they don't have nothing better to do than come and arrest people.

That night, Su Yu, Dilraba, and Yang Mi went to their usual spot for another night. Lu Han was too scared to go out after seeing the group of fans. After the three of them washed away their fatigue from the day, Su Yu took them back to their room as usual.

After returning to his room and taking a shower, Su Yu's phone vibrated.

I picked up my phone and saw it was Tangyuan calling. What's up so late at night?

Thinking it over, Su Yu answered the phone, but before he could even speak, Tangyuan's voice came through like a barrage of bullets:

"Su Yu, what's going on with your Weibo followers? I was busy this afternoon and didn't check my phone much, but when I opened the backend, I found you'd gained almost four thousand followers. What did you do?"

"Huh? I didn't do anything."

Su Yu leaned against the windowsill, somewhat surprised. He had no idea he already had over four thousand followers. He opened Weibo and sure enough!

Not only has the number of fans increased, but the comment section is also more lively than ever before, and the number of fans continues to rise without any sign of decline.

"Oh! You weren't on set this afternoon, so you didn't know. Lu Han's fans came to the set to chase after him. They probably saw me standing next to him and followed the crowd."

Tangyuan paused for a moment, then said somewhat anxiously:

"So you're a fan of Lu Han, a genuinely enthusiastic follower! Did you interact with them?"

"Just got back to the hotel, haven't had a chance to look yet."

"Then hurry up and look at the comments section, see what they're talking about, and then reply to a few, but don't say anything you shouldn't!"

"I know."

Su Yu turned on speakerphone and then opened Weibo.

Besides the comments section, Su Yu's private messages have also exploded, with the notification numbers for messages from people he doesn't follow long ago being replaced by ellipses.

Su Yu clicked on a few from top to bottom and looked at them. Most of them were normal, but a few actually sent him photos and asked if he was sleeping alone tonight. Some even went so far as to tell Su Yu to stop acting and that they would support him!

Su Yu simply blocked these abnormal fans.

Then I opened the comments section, and new comments kept popping up one after another, most of them people checking in to claim their mentor and admiring the good looks in the promotional photos.

Su Yu casually picked a few comments to reply to. He first replied to one who asked if he could post more selfies. As for how he replied, he simply posted a few photos of himself after taking a shower, showing his love for his fans by posting: "After the shower!"

Finally, a user who claimed to be a "hardcore new fan" left a comment: Thank you for your support~ I'm already a hardcore new actor with mature acting skills. Becoming a fan is definitely worthwhile. Let's cheer each other on!

After replying to those messages, he switched his phone back to the call screen. Tangyuan was still waiting for him.

"I've finished reading it," Su Yu said. "It's alright, most of it is pretty normal."

"Okay, keep an eye on things these next couple of days!"

"Oh, and also, you've got a lot more followers now. It seems like you should find a professional manager. We can't both keep an eye on things every day, can we?"

"No rush, we only have a few fans, not even a fraction of the total number of people," Su Yu said casually.

"Okay~ But! Your followers went from just over a thousand to where they are now in just a few hours! And this wasn't bought, we didn't do any marketing! Lu Han's fans found us and became fans on their own, Su Yu, you're amazing!"

"Hehe..." Su Yu chuckled foolishly on the other end of the phone.

Tangyuan took a breath on the other end of the phone, chuckled, and then happily said:

"Okay, keep it up! I'll update your Weibo verification information and add the songwriter and composer of 'Left Ear,' 'The Lost Tomb,' and 'Medal'! Since Lu Han's fans have opened this door for you, we should show off everything we can while that door is still open!"
