Chapter 916 - 914: Truly Famous! (Second Update)
A performance video of Si Han went viral on Weibo over half a month ago, and although the search frenzy has waned, it remains within the top hundred searches.For someone who hasn’t officially debuted yet, this level of attention and exposure is quite remarkable.
This time, the fashion show adopted an entirely online broadcast, covering the whole runway and post-show media interviews.
For Si Han, it was her first performance facing a nationwide audience in a true sense.
Throughout the whole fashion show, Si Han, as the spokesperson for the Asia-Pacific region, was naturally the finale. Compared to a show abroad a few years ago, the current Si Han is incomparable.
Firstly, she has grown considerably, her character much more reserved than a few years back. The girlish aura gradually turning into a unique charm, retaining a hint of youthful flavor yet beginning to show mature feminine allure and elegance.
With such charm, dressed in elegant and sophisticated attire, her presence appeared increasingly captivating. The unique aura of the Ji Family, not previously strong in Nuonuo, now manifested in her as well. Coupled with all the effort and experience she has put into the path she’s chosen over the past year, she became the most dazzling star of this show.
As soon as she appeared, she instantly captured the attention of numerous spectators present and in front of screens, without a doubt, Si Han, this newcomer, became the biggest winner of this international brand fashion show.
With the video broadcasted online being replayed repeatedly, the name Si Han spread rapidly across the internet overnight. Soon, people began to associate this Si Han with the violin-playing girl who stayed at the top of the hot search list for several days half a month ago. They concluded that the model Si Han, with noble temperament and a mix of girlish freshness and mature feminine charm, was indeed the same talented, graceful girl with an intrinsic aura who played beautiful melodies.
The day after the fashion show, Da Bao and Tian Fang saw Si Han’s name prominently on the hot search of Weibo and various major forums, as expected.
Soon, online investigations began, unearthing an entertainment headline from early in the year, with a somewhat blurry photo from that report confirming fast that this Si Han was likely the newcomer heavily promoted by Xinying Entertainment, established early that year. Immediately upon her debut, she was chosen by Director Sun to play the female lead in a film set to be acted soon.
This series of in-depth reports made Si Han explode in popularity on the internet within just a day or two.
Netizens began eagerly anticipating how this multi-talented girl who can compose and play the violin, aside from being a professional model, would perform in her film debut!
Even before the movie started its publicity, Si Han, the actress for the female lead, already gained nationwide fame. Director Sun even phoned, joking that Si Han at least increased the movie’s box office by thirty percent!
Even though she knew she’d become an online sensation, both Si Han and Tian Fang didn’t quite grasp it initially. As they flew back to R City from Beijing entirely unprepared, they were quickly surrounded by many young men and women upon leaving the airport, with some even screaming loudly, "Si Han, Si Han, I love you!"
Though Da Bao had affairs to attend to and couldn’t accompany Si Han back, Xiao Li was waiting at the airport early. Seeing Si Han surrounded by fans, he quickly rushed over to help Tian Fang shield Si Han.
Fortunately, Tian Fang, being an experienced manager, was very adept at handling such fan onslaughts. She first protected Si Han behind her, then instructed everyone to stand in two separate lines, took group photos with fans from both lines, and promised to open a Weibo account to inform fans of her situation immediately. After making a bunch of promises, the enthusiastic fans finally let them go.
In the car, Tian Fang opened a laptop and surprisingly found that Si Han’s fans had already formed a fan group. There was a newly established post on a forum called Si Han Forum, which gained nearly ten thousand members in just one day.
Tian Fang clicked on a thread about collecting names for a Si Han fan group and handed it over to Si Han.
"Si Han, you’ve really made it big now!"
Si Han took a look at the post, seeing a still from the video paired with a close-up from the fashion show as the background, giving her a real sense of being a big star!
"Yeah, thanks for all your hard work, Sister Fang!"
Si Han took Tian Fang’s laptop, seriously looking at the suggestions from her fans in the post.
"What hard work? Over the last year, how hard you’ve worked and how much effort you’ve put in, others might not know, but I certainly do."
As Tian Fang was speaking, her phone rang. Si Han was focused on the post, paying little attention, only hearing her respond with a series of "uh-huhs" and "ahas." After she hung up, another call came in quickly. Si Han, who had been engrossed in the post, finally couldn’t help herself. After Tian Fang hung up the fourth call, Si Han finally asked, "Sister Fang, why so many calls today?"
Tian Fang, smiling pleasantly, pinched Si Han’s cheek, "My little star has gone viral, so naturally, there are a lot of calls!"
Initially thinking these calls might be from Brother Zhihao or the company regarding some business matters, Si Han didn’t realize all these calls were about her.
"Calls for me?" Si Han had no concept of being famous.
In her eyes, she just needs to focus on acting in movies and filming commercials, preparing well for them.
"Yes, two were from TV stations wanting to invite you to their variety shows, and two from manufacturers wanting you to endorse their products."
Si Han never expected that after a trip to Beijing, she would return to such a groundbreaking new life.
"Huh? Invite me to variety shows? Want me to endorse?"
Si Han, half-doubtful, pointed at herself, thinking Tian Fang was joking with her.
"Yes, of course inviting you, who else would it be if not you?" Tian Fang replied, when another call came in.
Seeing the incoming call, Tian Fang didn’t hurry to answer. Instead, she handed the phone to Si Han, "Look, this surely is another call about your matters."
Si Han stared at it, seeing "TV Station Director Chen" displayed on the screen.
Si Han seriously listened to Tian Fang’s conversation, and from Tian Fang’s responses, it wasn’t hard to surmise it was another invitation for Si Han to take part in a variety show.
"Sorry, Si Han is quite busy recently, her December and January schedules are nearly full. Maybe I can check her specific schedules once I’m back at the company and contact you again, okay?"
