Chapter 141: What Tier Are You to Stand With Us?

"Ambiguity Overload! Zhou Yi Surprisingly Appears at Concert, Engaging in Intense Physical Sparring with Elva Hsiao! Sweating Profusely!"

"Zhou Yi's Romance Exposed?! Nostalgia for First Girlfriend on Stage?!"

"Attention-Grabbing Technique! Elva Hsiao Publicly Steals Zhou Yi's First Time at Her Concert!"

"The Dance King and Dance Queen of the New Era!"

"..."

On July 20, after Elva Hsiao's "Summer Splendor" concert concluded completely, having held two back-to-back ten-thousand-person-level shows in Hong Kong's Red House, Elva Hsiao's momentum leaped past Sun Yanzi and Dai Peini, directly becoming the object of competing reports across the Treasure Island and even the entire country.

Zhou Yi's appearance seemed unremarkable to many, but what truly surprised many media figures was the relationship between the two on stage, which was so familiar it could not possibly be fake.

Completely disregarding the rumors already swirling wildly in the outside world, they openly played with the "first time" meme.

This was not a variety show pursuing program effects, but Elva Hsiao's personal concert. If they were not familiar to a certain degree, no one would use such a meme to joke.

This was quite interesting.

In an era where responses to rumors were either denial, tacit acceptance, outright admission, or simply ignoring them with Tai Chi, Zhou Yi and Elva Hsiao's rumor-denial method, akin to a mudslide, truly left many people scratching their heads.

Do you two actually have something going on or not?

Three days after the concert ended, on the audio-visual and entertainment sections of major domestic portals, forums, and chat rooms, the most arrogant were none other than the Elva Hsiao-Zhou Yi CP fans.

"Don't worry about whether these two actually have something going on; I just ask you, besides Elva Hsiao, who else has Zhou Yi danced so intimately with?!"

In an era where censorship words had not yet flown everywhere like crab claws, the Elva-Zhou fans, fighting against a coalition of several nations single-handedly, slaughtered everywhere—

"What? The Twin Stars, Sun Yanzi? Your Sun Yanzi only knows how to wear a tank top and run in MVs?! She can't dance a damn thing! In terms of dancing, she isn't even fit to hold Elva's shoes!

"In terms of dancing, Elva is the sole top-tier act in the Mandarin music scene!"

"Exactly, exactly. She just got lucky to be at Warner with Zhou Yi. If Zhou Yi were at Virgin, what would your Sun Yanzi have to do with it? Twin Stars? How big is your face?!"

"I even suspect these two might already be together; the reason they haven't announced it publicly is because those damn people at Warner won't let them!"

As one of the two most fiercely contested factions, once this concert happened, the Elva Hsiao fans who supported this CP completely overwhelmed the Twin Stars faction in momentum, even branding Warner as the villain forcing Zhou Yi to keep his romance secret.

As Zhou Yi's manager, Qian Jiang was once again cursed to the point of being covered in dog blood.

The unwilling and unyielding Twin Stars CP fans, lacking new material, could only dig up some surveillance footage released by Warner in the past, searching for traces of "intimacy" between the two to refute the arrogant Elva-Zhou CP fans.

"That concert was just for heat and to sell albums and discs for future concerts; it was clearly Virgin shamelessly bundling Zhou Yi!"

"How big is that dance girl's face, trying to pass herself off as Yanzi? The Twin Stars were together before they even debuted!"

"Look at the Golden Melody Awards ceremony; the Twin Stars' parents have already met. Zhou Yi's father even goes out fishing and catching shrimp with Yanzi's father every day!"

Whether it was popularity, sales, or awards, the Elva Hsiao fans and Sun Yanzi fans, all on the same tier, were truly fighting desperately this time.

One brought up the concert; the other brought up the parents.

In traditional Chinese concepts, once together, one must definitely have met the parents.

You Elva Hsiao, what rotten fish and shrimp are you? You probably don't even know which way the door to Zhou Yi's parents' house opens.

The fence-sitting Angela Chang fans were divided into four factions: helping Elva, helping Sun, neutral, and staying single, with the instigators being the most numerous.

Even Zhou Xun's fans jumped in, stating that if it were Zhou Xun, she would be more suitable for Zhou Yi, supporting Zhou Yi in prying her away from the corner. At least they both share the surname Zhou, part of the same family five hundred years ago.

Mixed in were Xie Tingfeng fans coming to stir the pot and try to fish in troubled waters, some Wang Fei fans performing "Don't get close, you lowly people," and some Dawn fans who previously felt offended.

The entire Mandarin music scene turned into a complete mess, and the passionate appearance of the fan wars made many feel like they had returned to the prosperous era of the music scene—

The "Tan-Zhang Hegemony" period of the last century, the period of most intense competition among the "Four Heavenly Kings."

At this very moment, just like at that time and that moment.

Emperor, Warner, and Virgin were so happy their mouths were nearly numb from laughing.

Fan wars, those are all heat.

Especially after Xie Tingfeng's fans were dragged into the battlefield because of Wang Fei—

After it was rumored that Xie Tingfeng spent a sky-high price to buy a special license plate for Wang Fei as a birthday gift, both sides, with heat skyrocketing, began exchanging heavy fire.

Today your fans rent out newspaper sections; tomorrow it's my turn.

Although it started with only Elva Hsiao fans and Sun Yanzi fans opposing each other, after a round of fighting, since no one could produce concrete evidence of a romantic relationship, it unknowingly turned back into a fight between the fans of Zhou Yi and Xie Tingfeng, who were worthy of the title of Twin Stars in terms of popularity.

There were even a few fan brawls that almost broke out offline in Hong Kong and on the Treasure Island.

The heat of the competition between these two fan groups even affected "Meteor Garden," which had officially begun to show its influence.

Zhou Yi and Xie Tingfeng, who had recently been slightly suppressed in heat by the "Meteor Garden" F4 group, suddenly surged in popularity thanks to this wave of fan wars; offline support, merchandise purchases, and even album sales were stimulated to further growth, turning the tables to suppress the F4, who had officially stepped out of the Treasure Island.

Chai Zhiping, full of confidence, had just led F4 out of the Treasure Island when she received a thunderous blow from the combined hands of Zhou Yi and Xie Tingfeng fans—

At this very moment, in the mainland and Hong Kong, the heat had almost become the domain of Zhou Yi and Xie Tingfeng.

One had been publicly "first-ed" by Elva Hsiao at the concert, featuring hot performances like intimate Latin dancing, and was also entangled with another popular female singer, Sun Yanzi;

The other spent a fortune for love, buying a special license plate just to make Wang Fei smile.

Isn't this more idol-drama-like than an idol drama?

F4 wanting to join the battlefield outside the Treasure Island wasn't that simple; F4 fans were even crazily mocked by the two fan groups—

"What tier is your F4? How many albums sold? What awards have you won? Do you even deserve to compete on the same stage as my Zhou Yi (Xie Tingfeng)?"

In terms of stirring up heat, the current Treasure Island media are not even fit to hold shoes in front of the Hong Kong media.

Not to mention "Next Magazine" and "Apple Daily," these two heavyweights sticking to the wealth code, firmly reporting on the "endless entanglement" between Elva Hsiao, Sun Yanzi, and Zhou Yi amidst a sea of "Meteor Garden" information in the Treasure Island.

They even made a chart—

With Zhou Yi at the center, two arrows extended to Elva Hsiao and Sun Yanzi. On the side sat Angela Chang, Zhou Xun, Fan Bingbin, Chen Hao, Liu Tao, Wang Xinling, Gillian Chung, Cai Zhuoyan, and a host of other female stars who had collaborated with Zhou Yi, firmly occupying the bench, and thoughtfully labeled their connections to Zhou Yi.

"Is he arranging the starting eleven for a football team here? A 4-2-3-1 formation, with me as the lone striker responsible for shooting, is that it?"

Watching this "formation chart" drawn by riding the football heat, which was so detailed it almost listed every girl's information, Zhou Yi looked at it with the expression of an old man on a subway holding a phone.

"Don't say anything, you actually do have a chance to play as a striker."

Qian Jiang happily handed Zhou Yi an invitation: "There's a charity celebrity football match here in Hong Kong; Jackie Chan and others will be attending.

"An invitation was sent to you too; do you want to go?"

"But let me say this first: if you go, you absolutely cannot beat Cheng Long and the others 13-0. That is the bottom line."

PS: For the next few days, I'll first ensure the basic two chapters of updates, since I've been fighting Da Vinci every night. Last night, some readers in the group were forced to work overtime even later than me, which comforted me a bit.. jpg
