Some domestic fans who came to greet him at the airport filmed a video of him for about ten seconds and uploaded it to a short video website.
#Fan-taken photos: Look at Xu Chun's popularity abroad. Those who are blatantly spreading rumors that he's washed up can finally take a break.#
"Brother Chun is awesome! I can't stop cheering for you!"
"I saw some fans almost rushing up to Chun Chun, and some even shoving their phones right in her face. They really have no manners. Luckily, Chun Chun has a good temper."
"They're all Chinese, right? Hehe."
"How much per day? I'd like to act in that."
"Is Xu Chun so popular in the neighboring country? Which drama is it because of?"
"He already had some fame before, and then he became a huge star because of 'Unexpected Joy.' You know, this movie broke the box office record for foreign films just a few days after its release; its box office performance was truly impressive."
"The movie's popularity hasn't died down yet, which is probably why it has so many fans."
After leaving the airport, they took the car arranged by the production team to their accommodation. He and Xie Jianyuan arrived one after the other. While they were unloading their luggage, Xie Jianyuan walked straight over, took the luggage from Xu Chun's hands, and then glanced at him with a smile, "Stop spacing out, come inside."
Xu Chun looked at her empty hands and then had no choice but to follow Xie Jianyuan's steps.
The person who opened the door was a young and beautiful girl with her hair dyed a beautiful platinum blonde. Xu Chun recognized her as the leader of the most popular girl group at the moment, named Wen Ni.
"Ah!" She covered her mouth and let out a soft cry when she saw Xie Jianyuan behind Xu Chun, then jumped up and down excitedly, shouting to the people inside, "They're here! They're here!"
Lin Li came downstairs. She had seen him on TV before, and because of his mixed-race features and his aloof demeanor during fashion show photos, she thought it might be difficult to get close to him. Unexpectedly, as soon as he saw Xu Chun and the others, he took the initiative to smile and say, "You've finally arrived. Put your suitcases down first, and then we'll have a meeting."
Xu Chun had already met Lin Li at the press conference held before the variety show started filming, but she hadn't really spoken to him then. So when she saw him being so enthusiastic now, she was taken aback for a moment, then realized that this was in front of the camera, and even if they weren't familiar with each other, they had to pretend to be.
"A meeting? What kind of meeting?" Xu Chun asked after settling Xie Jianyuan luggage downstairs.
No sooner had she finished speaking than the doorbell rang. Xu Chun ran to open the door and saw Fu He she hadn't seen in a long time, standing there. Upon seeing him, she breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Finally found it."
Xu Chun poured him a glass of water, handed it to him, and said with a smile, "You've arrived just in time."
"Caught up with what?" Fu He asked, puzzled.
Lin Li cleared her throat, striking a pose, and said, "Let's have a meeting to assign tasks. Some people go to the supermarket to buy groceries, and some people go to solicit customers and hand out flyers."
After saying this, everyone looked at each other, each wanting to choose the former, since they wouldn't have to lower themselves to beg for help. However, this meant less screen time, because buying groceries wouldn't involve meeting and interacting with the various passersby like when handing out flyers. Unless you're naturally good at creating humor, it would seem quite bland.
After hesitating for a while, Wen Ni finally chose the camera. "I'll hand out flyers to attract customers."
Xu Chun frowned slightly, then smiled gently and said, "I'll go buy groceries."
After hearing Xie Jianyuan immediately smiled and replied, "Me too."
The remaining people also expressed their opinions. Lin Li chose to hand out flyers. Fu He raised his hands and was about to speak, but he inadvertently caught Xie Jianyuan's cool gaze, and swallowed the words that were already on the tip of his tongue.
"I'll go hand out flyers and attract customers."
"Okay, it's settled then."
After leaving the house and getting his car keys, Xie Jianyuan personally drove to a large shopping mall in the area. They took the elevator to the third floor, where Xu Chun got a shopping cart, and Xie Jianyuan followed beside her with his hands in his pockets.
In fact Xu Chun and Xie Jianyuan rarely went out shopping together in China, let alone walked openly in a crowded shopping mall like this. For some reason, an idea uncontrollably jumped into Xu Chun's mind: they were like they were on a date.
"Brother Chun, I remember you like to eat this." Xie Jianyuan smiled and looked down at the neatly arranged corn.
Xu Chun was looking at the list, which contained the ingredients needed for each person's cooking. Hearing Xie Jianyuan say this, he felt a warmth in his heart.
But...
"We can't buy it; the production team has limited funds," Xu Chun explained slowly.
Xie Jianyuan paused slightly, then smiled and said, "Just replace my dish with corn and pork rib soup."
Apart from the person in charge of cashiering and reading out the menu, everyone else was responsible for cooking a specialty dish. Xu Chun prepared scrambled eggs with tomatoes. When the name of the dish was announced, everyone laughed, even Xie Jianyuan had a faint smile in his eyes.
Xie Jianyuan casually picked out a few ears of corn and put them in the cart, then helped Xu Chun push the cart forward with one hand and walked ahead.
At this moment, a female college student recognized them, exclaimed something happily, and then excitedly took out a pen and paper to ask Xie Jianyuan for an autograph.
"Ahhh!" At this moment, screams became the common language of humankind.
Xu Chun glanced around and saw that quite a few people had already recognized them and were taking pictures with their phones, so she turned to look at Xie Jianyuan.
Seeing that Xie Jianyuan was already surrounded by girls, Xu Chun slightly shifted her gaze, ignoring the strange feeling in her heart. She didn't know if it was because Xie Jianyuan so popular, or because he was more popular than others.
Xu Chun recalled how glamorous she had been at the airport, and sighed inwardly. Just as she was about to walk ahead to buy groceries...
At this moment, several stylishly dressed boys suddenly surrounded them. If you looked closely, you could see that they had light makeup on their faces and they all looked a little shy.
"Could you sign your name for us?" one of them said in broken English.
Xu Chun stood there, stunned. She looked at the autographed paper, then at them.
