The senior brother sitting in the back seat of the taxi lowered his voice: "That's the scalper who is well-informed and relies on this to make a living."
Mai Fan's eyes widened when he heard this: "Isn't scalping illegal?"
Senior Brother Hu was furious: "Nonsense! What kind of law is being violated! What kind of law is being violated!"
"You can't engage in professional discrimination just because you use the word scalper..."
"Like those phone dealers, drug dealers, and those who resell train tickets, that's illegal."
"For example, our informants, although they are also called scalpers, they are following the trend of fashion, grasping entertainment trends, meeting the needs of the masses, and providing timely and effective... service groups."
"Which law of the country have they violated?"
"They are just selling the proceeds of their own labor!"
"Come on, don't argue with me. Without their first-hand information, our department's expenditure would be at least three times more than it is now."
"The topic has gone too far. In fact, ticket sellers, no, they are scalpers, and they can't keep an eye on the schedule of those celebrities all the time."
"There is only one kind of person who can stare at the stars all the time..."
Senior Brother Hu's expression was very serious. Mai Fan unconsciously sat upright and replied: "It's... bastard meal."
"yes!"
Senior Brother Hu confirmed this answer: "It's those illegitimate fans..."
After hearing this, Mai Fan became even more worried: "What kind of information can those people with abnormal brains provide?"
Speaking of this, Brother Hu became a little melancholy: "You have to know that these neurotic fans are the most persistent and crazy people in the celebrity fan circle for the main protagonist."
"They love too much, just like they are crazy."
"It is precisely because of this stubbornness that they are willing to follow the star day and night. Wherever the star goes, they will follow him."
"For the lover they imagined, they would endure any hardship."
"These people don't have jobs, nor do they have a normal life. When celebrities join the crew, they buy notices from scalpers."
"If you're lucky, you can make a connection and become an extra in the crew."
"Those who are unlucky will squat on the roadside and fight guerrillas with the crew."
"The place where we live is near the filming site. Several or more than a dozen people are crowded into a room, and they keep each other warm by chatting about celebrities' privacy."
"If you were a fan of an idol, the expenses would be even greater."
"Idols have concerts or participate in variety shows, attend fashion festivals, and give advertising platforms. That's a lot more business than actors."
"If I miss this group of crazy fans, it would be even worse than killing them."
"Tickets for concerts, interior tickets for variety show recordings, media tickets for fashion celebrations, they want to give away too much money to scalpers..."
With such expenses, you think their economic conditions will improve.
"This forms a vicious cycle. The more money the sasaeng fans pay and the more suffering they suffer, the more inseparable this group of people will be from this star, and the more they will stare at it..."
"Let me ask you, one person, no, it's a group of people. They have divided their labor. Each person stares at a star for a period of time. As long as that star shows up, they will all know..."
"So as a reporter, if you want to get first-hand information about this celebrity, isn't the fastest way to get it from these illegitimate fans?"
Mai Fan nodded: "Yes, senior brother, are you planning to induce me?"
"But since they 'love' that celebrity so much, why would they sell you the information about their 'lover'?"
Alas~ Senior Brother Hu sighed
Mai Fan is still too young and too normal.
He continued to give pointers: "First of all, how many people can fight for a long time for an unknown star?"
"How can those few people keep an eye on a big star who has bodyguards and assistants?"
"Definitely not!"
"But this group has something in common, lunatics must only play with lunatics."
"In addition, the movement trajectories of popular stars always overlap."
"For example, you can take the Spring Festival Gala, you can take the fashion festival, and you can take the award show as an example."
"Through this back and forth, the fans who were at the forefront for the first time met in advance."
"As long as we bump into each other two or three times later, this group of people will naturally stick together."
"What will you do after we get together?"
"Let's arrange a shift to become a star together."
"You're a fan of idols, and I'm a fan of actors, but it doesn't matter. While your actors are filming, my idols are on vacation, so I'll help you keep an eye on the actors."
"At worst, when my idol participates in a variety show, you can come back and help me when you are free."
"They also formed a large group as they came and went."
"There are all kinds of celebrities there, men and women, young and old. If one person posts the latest news, a group of people will know about it."
"Then there must be people here who don't love this celebrity, right?"
"These people also want to have a meal, right?"
"It's not just about selling news to outsiders."
"Anyway, they are not selling celebrities they are fans of, so they won't feel guilty!"
"Most of the trivial entertainment news in our department comes from them."
"Today's big news was also brought directly to our door by scalpers contacted by this group of people."
Mai Fan stopped talking after hearing this, and the back row of the taxi fell into an eerie silence.
After a long while, Mai Fan spoke: "It's a big deal if a celebrity cheats on her. I heard that the one who sold the news today is a fan of me?"
"Are they hating each other out of love and are they going to take revenge?"
The depth of love makes it even more deadly to hate.
Brother Hu slightly disagreed: "How can these illegitimate fans really love celebrities?
The essence is just to satisfy one's own selfish desires in the name of chasing stars."
"Sometimes I feel sad for us gentlemen."
"If you change the gender of this matter, the word becomes, tram pervert, wretched man, pervert, gutter...that's it."
"Oh~ they just love themselves."
"Once they don't get what they want, or they feel that there is no hope, you see, it will be like this now, and they will turn around and sell their 'idols'."
If this group of well-informed 'illegitimate fans' can enthusiastically backfire, then the things this celebrity has done must not be trivial.
Just as Mai Fan was thinking about it, the taxi master pulled over and stopped.
Mai Fan followed Brother Hu out of the car and stood at the side entrance of Lansha Hotel.
About five minutes later, two little girls wearing hoodies and sweatshirts came down from the hotel's fire escape, holding their pockets, and strolled towards them.
"Hu Zongbei?"
"Ah, I am..."
Gee, how rude.
"Oh, did you bring the money?"
Senior Brother Hu smiled slyly: "You have to let me see whether the news is true or false, right?"
"If I give you money and you turn around and run away, where can I catch you?"
The two girls opposite were stunned, and the leader rolled his eyes: "It's really troublesome! Forget it, come with me."
After saying that, he turned around and left, dragging him away for 2,500 to 80,000 yuan.
