"Who is this?! Red-haired guy, you want to kill me?!"
"Her looks are a plus, and her movements are fairly standard, but she's nowhere near as good as a professional. It's not worth screaming like that..."
"According to reliable sources, he studied for a week... a week... a week!! I've been falling on the ice for a week and I'm still walking while holding onto the wall."
"Link, sorry to the person upstairs, this guy achieved this result in just one week of practice, it's no exaggeration to call him a prodigy!"
"That waist! Those legs! That turn! Ahhhhh!"
"You know, figure skating requires training from a young age; if you don't start practicing from childhood, it takes at least a year or two to reach his level..."
"Now I know why his fans are so crazy. I would have gone crazy too."
I need all the information about this red-haired man within one minute.
"Stop investigating. You'll find out he can not only ice skate, but also ski, act, cook, sing, play ball, play dead, and even rummage through trash cans for luncheon meat..."
"What the heck is that last one upstairs? Hahahaha."
Song Shi'an successfully wrapped up filming after finishing his final scenes, Ji Shuyao ordered him to rest at home for a while.
When he heard those words, he collapsed onto the sofa and remained there for half a month.
I slept until I naturally woke up every day and went to class as usual. Life was incredibly comfortable.
Until the bell rang for the college entrance examination, he posted on Weibo, "Wishing all candidates good luck in the college entrance examination and success in achieving their goals."
The comment section below was instantly flooded with messages like "Good luck," "Let me ride on the coattails of the academic star," and " An'an bless me to get into Jingchen."
During his break, he was called upon by the director to play a few cameo roles and also prepared for a birthday party, making his days busy and fulfilling.
The system popped up the night before my birthday.
[Congratulations, host, on completing your mission. The system reward will be distributed in a reasonable manner within one month. Please wait patiently.]
Song Shi'an paused for a moment, then replied jokingly, "Does your system really treat payroll like this? It doesn't even arrive until the following month. Are you going to run away halfway through...?"
[This system is staffed and authorized; we wouldn't break our promise. We will only leave after the accounts are settled.]
Song Shi'an, dressed in period costume, stood atop the high-rise building where their first drama was filmed, looking into the distance. "Really? That's good."
On June 16th, what can be described as the most extravagant birthday celebration in the industry unfolded all over the world.
Short video platforms both at home and abroad are filled with videos related to Song Shi'an's birthday. Advertising screens, subway ads, drones, fireworks shows, and overseas helicopters are all taking turns to appear. The overwhelming spectacle makes it hard to miss.
Meanwhile, Fiery Entwine was released overseas for the first time.
Song Shi'an had already gained some fame overseas due to his previous wilderness survival experience, and his subsequent Escape to Freedom further boosted his popularity. This time, he has successfully broken into the international mainstream.
At 7 p. m. that evening, in the center of Capital's largest stadium, Song Shi'an sat backstage getting his hair and makeup done.
As the makeup artist touched up his makeup, he secretly opened one eye to look at Lin Fan and asked nervously, "How many people are outside?"
Lin Fan looked down at his phone. "There are still two hours until the show starts. I just saw a message saying there's a bit of traffic outside, so it should be a while before everyone gets here."
Father Song. and Mother Song, led by staff, sat in the front row early on.
Looking at the already packed room, Mother Song grabbed Father Song's hand in shock. "Our son has so many fans? There must be tens of thousands of them!"
Father Song patted her hand calmly. "What's the big deal? If there were enough seats, there would be even more people coming."
Mother Song didn't call him out on his arrogant attitude, but she noticeably tightened her grip on his arm.
At 7:00 AM sharp, Song Shi'an took a deep breath on the elevator platform and put on his headset.
Lin Fan, standing beside him, clenched his fist and shouted, "Brother! Go for it!"
The elevator slowly rose, and screams from outside rushed in, making our eardrums buzz.
Song Shi'an smiled and waved to his fans. His entire face was magnified on the big screen, and his exquisitely handsome face suddenly appeared.
The screams from the crowd rose another notch, with everyone chanting his name.
The camera panned across the front row, revealing a string of celebrities he had worked with. Liu Bin shouted the loudest in front of the camera, "Brother! Happy Birthday!"
Song Shi'an was both amused and exasperated. He picked up the microphone and said, "Hello everyone, thank you all for coming from afar to attend my birthday party. I guess this is our first official meeting."
The fans shouted in unison, "We will always be by your side in the future!"
A little flustered by this gesture, Song Shi'an picked up the microphone and said, "Okay, we'll always be together in the future."
For the next two hours, Song Shi'an sang and danced, using all the system's skills to their fullest potential. The fans cheered from beginning to end, their voices almost hoarse from shouting.
During the final fan interaction segment, fans were randomly selected to go on stage.
The first fan chosen was a girl with a ponytail. She stumbled onto the stage, took the microphone from the host, and after a long pause, managed to utter, "Could you...?"
Song Shi'an smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I don't look like a bad person."
The fans were even more incoherent. "No... no... I just wanted to say, I'm a fan of your career! Could you please take on a few leading roles?"
This matter has always been a thorn in the side of fans. No matter how popular Song Shi'an becomes, how much he breaks out of his niche, or how often he trends on social media, he still doesn't have a single leading role.
Fans can accept him playing supporting roles, but there's always a sense of regret in their hearts.
Song Shi'an never expected that the other party would ask this question.
He paused for a moment, unable to respond. Seeing his silence, a fan hurriedly added, "It's okay if you don't want to answer, I'll always support you."
Song Shi'an snapped out of his reverie and smiled, "Every character has their own highlight."
The fans initially thought this was a polite refusal, but they still smiled and said, "It's okay! No matter what role you play, you'll always be the star in our hearts!"
The room fell silent for a moment, then erupted in even more enthusiastic applause.
Song Shi'an's heart skipped a beat. He looked down at the microphone in his hand, then raised it again. "I need to carefully select the script, and strive to ensure that the first lead role doesn't disappoint everyone."
The crowd cheered, the roar almost lifting the roof off the stadium.
The birthday party has now come to an end, and D Station is full of posts about the scale of this birthday party.
"This is truly unprecedented in the industry, it's outrageous!"
"[Image] Look at my IP address, I can actually see a plane writing Song Shi'an's name in the sky in this remote corner! Amazing! This is the first time in my life I've ever seen a plane writing words!"
"I can see that too! I haven't been back to China for two years, and the entertainment industry has developed like this? I remember even a top star's birthday party two years ago didn't have this kind of spectacle."
"I also saw countless unfamiliar IP addresses in the comments section. Are there really so many countries involved? Where did you all come from?"
"I'm in North America, and here fans have also set up a large screen for support. When I passed by, I thought it was some politician's campaign, but when I looked up, it was Song Shi'an."
"I saw this Liu Bin in a Fiction poster! He's quite humorous, I'm almost tempted to become a fan, hahaha!"
"Someone already dug up the old records: both of them played eunuchs in 'The Emperor's Ambition,' hahaha! What a coincidence! They played eunuchs together back then, and now they're playing villains together!"
"Looking forward to An'an's lead role!!!"
