It's also unclear when it started, but since the advent of the internet era, fans of celebrities have become more cohesive and team-oriented.
As time went by, especially after the Internet gradually entered thousands of households, when various forums and Baidu Tieba emerged one after another, those star chasers who liked a certain celebrity but couldn't find fellow fans to communicate with finally welcomed a spring of great explosion.
Various fan clubs, cheering squads and interest groups have been established, not only thriving online but also gradually developing and growing in the real world.
When these large and small fan organizations, they are all in the forefront of Baidu Tieba's rankings, one more popular and crazy than the other, actually these fan groups already have the ability to influence the popularity and status of the stars they support in reality.
Because their existence is the most intuitive manifestation of a celebrity's popularity.
Chen Xiao is a high school graduate, who just participated in the college entrance examination this year. The results have already been released and he did quite well, getting into the admission line of South China University of Technology. This can be considered as achieving a major goal for both his family and himself. In less than two months, he will go to register and start military training.
At this time, he should be quite relaxed and leisurely, after all, he has been studying hard for so many years, and his university dream has come true!
However, he is now somewhat anxious and very urgent. This is not because of other things, but because he has just learned a piece of news, a dream that he has been longing for a long time, at least more than half a month, but has never had the chance to fulfill - to appreciate his idol's performance on the spot.
Moreover, he is the helmsman of "Xiao Xiao Gang Xiangnan Branch Zhang Jie Family Branch"! He has an important task on his body.
Two weeks ago, Chen Xiao had not yet checked his exam results and he didn't have anything to do. He wasn't the type of person who liked going out and about anyway, plus the weather was really hot, so he just stayed at home all day holding onto his computer which he had bought last year, chatting online, listening to music and stuff like that, basically doing nothing interesting at all.
But then one afternoon, when he was bored and playing the computer's built-in Minesweeper game, he was suddenly attracted to a pop-up video webpage on his computer, so he casually clicked on it, only to find that it was actually an MV of a new singer.
The song is great, the melody and lyrics are very catchy, although the song title is a bit tacky, but the MV was shot really well, especially the female lead in it, she's indeed very pretty!
At that time, Chen Xiao had a little interest, so he continued to click on related videos, but unexpectedly, the video website was not connected.
If it were an ordinary person, they would have given up by now. After all, human curiosity has its limits! But Chen Xiao didn't, because he suddenly became curious about this new singer named Tang Xiaosha. He really wanted to see if this newcomer had any other works.
So, that night, he connected to a website called "Potato Video" and directly opened the related video of the one from that morning, with the result...
"What the fuck, is this real? The imitation is so amazing?"
At that time, Chen Xiao was stunned. After watching it several times in a row, he felt a strong sense of admiration and thought that good things shouldn't be kept to oneself. He directly forwarded the video link to all his QQ friends and made a very firm decision: I must see Xiao Xiao's imitation performance with my own eyes!
As time went by, with the constant exposure of someone's performance videos, Chen Xiao had irretrievably deeply idolized someone, especially after the release of someone's high-definition video, which even reached a climax.
He became a faithful fan of an online celebrity named Tang Xiao Shuai.
Then, more than a week ago, a friend from Magic City in the Baidu Tieba he often visited proposed that he wanted to build an official fan club for his idol Xiao Shuai Ge and name it "Xiao Shuai Gang", listing provincial-level cities across the country as branches, and prefecture-level cities as sub-branches. Chen Xiao didn't hesitate to announce his participation and strongly expressed his desire to serve as the leader of the "Xiao Shuai Gang Xiangnan Branch Zhangjiagang Sub-branch".
To be honest, after really becoming the "captain", Chen Xiao only then knew that actually, the development of fan clubs wasn't such an easy thing.
First, you must wholeheartedly promote your idol, right? Regardless of whether others are willing to join in or not, like the star or not, you have to work hard to promote your idol's works or deeds to them, without pay and possibly even enduring everyone's strange looks, and even sarcastic remarks. Hmm, also there is the lack of understanding from family and friends, and even their disgust.
After all, there are only a few people in reality who have a strong desire to chase stars, and most of them just like to join in the excitement.
In addition, if the fan group wants to be a bit more upscale and formal, it can't become a "mixed-brand team". To put it simply, they will definitely have to spend some money to buy uniform clothing and print various support flags. This involves financial issues.
Inexperienced and introverted Chen Xiao had a tough time, but with the help of bar friends from all over the country, he finally managed to complete it.
The clothes and hats were directly designed by his cousin in the advertising industry, because there was no money, so the clothes and hats were all cheap goods in large quantities. The clothes were white cultural shirts with eight red characters "Xiao Xiao Zhang Jie Jia Fen Zhuang", very thin sleeveless T-shirts, only suitable for summer wear.
The hat was also a cheap white baseball cap, then printed with the three red characters "Xiao Xiao Gang". The two things together cost less than 20 yuan, and he only printed 150 sets at first, because he had already spent all his "savings".
Fortunately, after hearing about the "helm master's" behavior, the helpers gathered in the penguin group all enthusiastically contributed money to support him, and he quickly reprinted 150 sets, which were soon to be claimed again.
Just now he was still checking the "equipment" stored in a classmate's house, thinking about when to go and purchase some printing again. As a result, he unexpectedly received a call from a "helper", saying that his idol had already entered the city and was currently at a public basketball court near Guanliping, and would start performing soon.
"What the heck, the idol has arrived! How could such important news not be known and spread by me, the "captain", first? And I almost missed it?"
Chen Xiao was shocked and strongly depressed, because generally speaking, when an idol goes to a certain place to participate in a certain activity, the "leader" of the fan group is usually the first to know, because the idol's agent will not hide from the fan group. After all, if it's cold during the event, that would be embarrassing.
For example, a certain celebrity is going to hold an endorsement signing event. If there isn't even one fan holding a support sign at the scene except for the host and media reporters, how embarrassing would that be? It will definitely invite ridicule from people in the industry.
So, when stars have activities, their agents will actively announce the news or directly post it on the official website, so that local fans who hold events can prepare psychologically and come forward, so as to avoid cold scenes.
Of course, the members of Xiaoxiao Gang all know that their idol Xiaoxiao Ge doesn't even know that they have already set up an official website for him, although it's simple, but has nearly 200,000 registered members: Xiaoxiao Gang.
So, after being slightly depressed for a moment, Chen Xiao, this "helmsman", still fulfilled his duty and immediately posted the message in the group:
"Brothers, the idol has finally reappeared and has arrived at our Zhang Jie's home. He is currently preparing to perform at a public basketball court near Guanliping. The time may be very short, so everyone hurry up and bring all your equipment to take a look! We are the first national open appearance of the Xiao Sao Bang gang, we must show our professionalism and demeanor in front of everyone, and bring out all our enthusiasm. Absolutely cannot let others, especially the "Chun Ge Bang" people laugh at us."
"Okay, it's obvious that the explosive behavior online has united these fans of the cool guys. They all have a competitive mentality towards certain celebrity fan clubs and absolutely don't want to be laughed at by them."
The message had just been sent out, and the group was suddenly excited.
Ai Shang Ai: "Captain, really? Don't lie to me, it's so hot today!"
"My god, I'm going to die: 'Damn it, we have to go, you guys hurry up and come, I'm almost there, at most 5 minutes and I'll arrive.'"
Head Prefect: "Everyone, don't take any private actions, just wait around here for a bit. We must show unity and standardization, absolutely cannot be like scattered soldiers, losing face for our Cool Breeze Society."
Kitty: "Let me ask, I'm dressed so extravagantly, will I be chased and hacked by thugs?"
……
The super group has a limit of 500 people, and it's actually already full. After Chen Xiao finished sending the message, he immediately started changing into his cultural shirt, then took another glance at the computer that was frantically scrolling through screens, and began secretly calculating how many members would arrive in a moment.
Everyone in this group is currently local and basically uses their own computer, so the online rate is quite high. Every day, more than half of the people are chatting, gossiping or spreading some idol-related news they found online, it's quite lively.
"More than 260 people who bought equipment, even if half of them are not online and didn't receive the message, there would still be over 100 who will rush to go, and after excluding some who live a bit further away or got stuck in traffic, there would still be at least over 80..."
Chen Xiao muttered to himself, and a smile soon appeared on his young face, because he was about to see his idol in person and perform live. Especially, he really wanted to witness what expression the "Boss" would have when he saw them, this group of followers.
Haha, I suppose you'll be shocked speechless and then moved beyond words?
Thinking of this, Chen Xiao didn't dare to delay any longer. He hastily grabbed a hat and rushed out of the house, then pushed his motorcycle "rumbling" towards Guanliping.
