Chapter 109 Posing is a skill
Chapter 109 Posing is a skill
Upon seeing the real-life Lin Fan, fans wished they could rip Lin Fan's face off his head, press it into their own cameras, and never let him leave!
Because the distance is just too close!
The stage was only a few meters away from the fans in the first row! The fans could clearly see every strand of their idols' hair, every little expression on their faces, and their real appearance without any beauty filters.
It's easy to tell who's naturally handsome and who's just a photo fraud thanks to makeup, hair, and beauty filters. While most guys who participate in talent shows are good-looking, there's still a significant difference between good-looking and average-looking guys.
Especially at this moment, Lin Fan's [Special Expertise in Camera Sensitivity] and [72 Celebrity Poses] suddenly kicked in!
Amidst the continuous clicking of camera shutters, Lin Fan struck all sorts of amazing poses!
【Roll up your sleeves style – literally, to roll up your sleeves with one hand.】
[Playing the aloof and cool style—covering half your face with one hand while silently repeating three times, "You can't see me, you can't see me, you can't see me."]
[Dragon Ball Instant Transmission Style - The Yardratian Instant Transmission hand gesture: place two fingers on your forehead to aid concentration. Of course, you can leave them out, you know what I mean!]
[The choice between taking your clothes off or not is a style question—staying on makes you hot, taking them off is suggestive! So, should you take them off or not?]
[The "Wall-Leaning Thinking Style"—Please lean part of your body against a wall and then consider the following questions: Why am I leaning against the wall? Is this a particularly stupid pose? Will the person taking the photo think I'm hopeless?]
[The most reliable way to feign profundity, coolness, and aloofness – this pose has only one key point: just wear an expression that says, "I'm the most arrogant person in the world!"]
[Shameless style—You already think you're the most arrogant person in the world, so what's the point of having any face?]
……
This is practically a perk that Lin Fan is giving to his fans! The fans screamed and frantically snapped photos, capturing all of Lin Fan's amazing poses!
"Ahhhhh! Fan-ge is so good!"
"My goodness, is Fan Ge actively promoting himself? I feel like every single photo I took could be used right out of the box! They don't even need editing!"
"Me too! Me too! Fan-ge's camera presence is absolutely amazing!"
"Isn't the main point that incredibly awkward pose? Why was I frantically pressing the shutter button while feeling so embarrassed, I just couldn't stop?"
……
The live stream chat was filled with joyful comments!
[Deadly Scissor Hand: Hahaha, what kind of pose is this?! Where did Fanfan learn this from? It's so embarrassing! Oh my god! My idol is a lunatic!]
[This person is probably crazy: It gave me goosebumps! They dug a three-bedroom apartment out of the ground with their toes! *Facepalm* My mom asked me why I was kneeling on the floor looking for a crack in the floor!]
[You're a middle finger: Hahaha! This generation of fans is so hard to please! You weren't happy when Fan Ge wasn't active! Now that Fan Ge is active, you're still not happy! Well done, Fan Ge! This is the kind of awkwardness we want! You're the most awkward man in the world!]
……
The security personnel at the scene were also sweating profusely with tension. These fans were so crazy that they almost broke down the barriers. It took a human wall of more than twenty security guards plus the barriers to barely stop these energetic fans. If the production team hadn't anticipated this, something terrible would probably have happened today.
Lin Fan, who had been tormented to the point of wishing for death by the system's divine skills, finally struck a pose and walked onto the stage, truly shedding a bitter tear in his heart.
When will this awful system and these awful skills ever end?
Why would I naturally strike those weird poses, and why do those kids like them so much? If someone else struck those poses in front of me, I'd kick them away in a heartbeat!
Huh? Am I being a bit too Versailles?
Lin Fan really wanted to curse—no, curse the system!
so tired!
……
All the trainees stood on the stage, and the fans below the stage respectfully quieted down. The host then said, "Please, trainees, greet everyone first."
Five trainees stood on the stage, smiling, and said in unison, "Hello everyone, we are trainees from the 6th season of 'Morning Star,' and it's nice to meet you all."
Their response was a scream that nearly lifted the ceiling!
The meet-and-greet consisted of five parts: performance, thank you, interaction, autograph, and photo. The entire event was broadcast live, bringing the trainees and fans closer together and serving as another opportunity to garner votes after the performance.
Of course, this is yet another instance of the production team exploiting viewers.
The only group performance would be the theme song, since the trainees didn't have the time or energy to rehearse a separate performance specifically for the fan meeting, so they had to make do with the theme song.
In reality, fans are perfectly content just to see their idols perform on stage; they don't care what the performance actually entails. This also illustrates that fan groups are very easily satisfied, but unfortunately, only with their idols. If it were anyone else, fans wouldn't be so easily appeased.
……
After the theme song performance, the trainees thanked the fans for their support and then went backstage to rest. The host then called each trainee onto the stage individually to interact with the fans.
The fan meeting only lasted 3 hours. Apart from the group performance, each trainee was given a decent amount of time, about 30 minutes each.
So when it was Lin Fan's turn for his solo segment, he stood on the stage, looking at the fans below, and for a moment he couldn't quite describe his feelings.
This was Lin Fan's first time attending such a close-up meeting. He learned all the procedures from Chen Xianwu on the way here by bus, so he found it all very novel.
Previously, when performing on stage, the distance between the stage and the audience was very far. With the addition of lighting effects, Lin Fan could not see the audience clearly at all, and could only hear a chorus of screams.
But it's different here. Not only do fans feel closer to their idols, but Lin Fan also feels very close to his fans! Close enough that he can see every face in the audience, close enough that he can hear every cheer from the fans, and their excited and enthusiastic emotions.
This feeling was both real and unreal, and Lin Fan couldn't tell the difference for a moment. He felt like he was dreaming, and maybe when he woke up, he would still be that good-for-nothing otaku, without any time travel, let alone any tricky system or such a hot talent show.
Life is like a dream!
