Chapter 439 - No Other Legs As Beautiful As Yours
Friday.
Antic.i.p.ating a larger than normal turn-out of fans, the TV broadcasting station deployed additional security to surround the building and protect the artists arriving for tonight"s show. Despite this, the TV station was still taken aback by the huge number of people who came.
The big studio of "MusicFest Tonight" could only accommodate an audience of a few hundred people or so, but there were about a thousand who came today. They crowded outside the station building since early morning. Some of the more hardcore ones even camped outside last night. It was insane!
Tickets for the show had been handed out in advance, so the official audience members were already determined a few days earlier. The crowd of people outside were well aware that they wouldn"t be able to watch the show inside the studio, but they still came to support their beloved artists.
Actually, about 90% of these people consisted of the Black Stars and Jin Chonglin"s ma.s.sive army of fans. Only a small portion of them were made up of fans supporting other artists performing that night.
Both Iris Long and Jin Chonglin"s fan clubs mobilized their officers to make sure that everyone was well-behaved and didn"t cause any trouble, so as not to bring shame to their Boss Iris and Prince Lin Lin"s names. Fortunately, most of them followed their respective officers" instructions and waited patiently.
Although they knew that they wouldn"t be able to watch the show tonight inside the studio, they still endured the burning sun outside since early morning just so they could have the chance to lay their eyes on their Boss Iris and Prince Lin Lin in person. The lengths of what these hardcore fans would willingly go through just for a glimpse of their most beloved celebrities were just mind-blowing.
Fortunately for these fans, both their boss and prince cared very much about them. Just like before, Iris Long and Jin Chonglin sent food and drinks to their fans. This time, however, the two were much more extravagant. They actually rented several food trucks to give free food and drinks to their fans. Iris Long and Jin Chonglin seemed to be working together because the notices plastered on the food trucks were exactly the same. The following words were written:
"Free meals for our beloved fans, from Iris Long and Jin Chonglin. Please fill up and enjoy our performance tonight. Thank you for supporting us!"
The Black Stars and Jin Chonglin"s army of fans were already used to sharing with each other, especially since there were many times that they attended the same events. Now that their boss and prince had a music collaboration and were performing on the same stage together, the camaraderie between these two fandoms only increased even further.
It was like a festival once again outside the TV station building because of Iris Long and Jin Chonglin"s fans. It came to a point that their festive atmosphere attracted those who came to support the other artists. These other fans joined the Black Stars and Jin Chonglin"s army of fans in lining up around the food trucks. Even the security and some staff from the TV station leeched off some free food and drinks as well.
Late in the afternoon, two hours before the show would start, the official audience members began being admitted inside. The fans who didn"t have tickets were envious of them, but they couldn"t do anything because the security was tighter this time.
The good news was that Director He once again sent several big-screen televisions outside so that the fans who couldn"t come inside the studio could still watch the show live. He even arranged for some cameramen to capture the large audience outside, wanting to show the additional crowd on live TV.
About an hour before the show, the artists finally started arriving. They were very excited seeing such a ma.s.sive crowd of people outside, but when they stepped out of their vehicles, they quickly discovered that the fans weren"t there for them. It was a bit awkward walking through this sea of fans who didn"t give much reaction to their appearance.
Finally, two large executive vans arrived almost at the same time. The security allowed them to drive closer to the main entrance compared to the other celebrities" vehicles earlier.
The door of the first van opened. Jin Chonglin stepped out looking fresh, handsome and charming as always.
As soon as he appeared, the crowd shrieked and screamed. Some even fainted then and there. Fortunately, there were first aid responders deployed alongside the security. These people were quickly removed from the overexcited crowd and revived. The fans" noise was so loud that it could be heard by people several blocks away.
"Prince Lin Lin! We love you so much! Please do your best on your performance tonight with Iris Long! We"ll be cheering for you from out here!"
"Please tell us about the announcement now, Prince Lin Lin! We can"t wait any longer! The suspense is killing us!"
Jin Chonglin flashed them his killer smile. More fans fainted.
"Please be patient until the end of the show. Junior Iris and I will make the announcement together," he told them.
At that very moment, the door of the second van opened.
Everyone turned their heads, including Jin Chonglin, to see who it was.
When a beautiful, smooth, and shapely leg stepped out in a red velvet high heeled shoe, the Black Stars immediately started screaming and shrieking as well. It was just a leg, but they already recognized their boss.
"Kyaaaaaah! It"s Boss Iris! She"s finally here!"
"There are no other legs as beautiful as yours, Boss Iris! I love you so much!"
Iris waved at her adoring fans, as she climbed out of the van. Dom, Tang Yiyi and her bodyguards immediately formed a protective encirclement around her.
Now that she was becoming more famous, there were increasing instances when fans became too excited and wild that they tried to grab and even tackle her. n.o.body succeeded so far, but all of these made Jin Liwei and Tang Yiyi extremely concerned for her safety. They persuaded her to take her physical security more seriously.
