Los Angeles, USA.

As soon as Xiao He and his group came out of the airport exit, they were met by people who had come to pick them up.

"Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao, over here!"

The young man held up a sign and waved his hands, his face full of excitement.

Xiao He looked in the direction of the sound and met Ban Zheyu's gaze.

"Oh, what brings you here too?"

Xiao He walked over, somewhat surprised.

Ban Zheyu is a kid he met while filming "Ford v Ferrari 7".

At that time, Ban Zheyu was targeted by a serial killer, but Xiao He saved him from dying in that horrific murder.

As a result, Ban Zheyu, like his sister, became a fan of Xiao He.

"Hey, your film crew is about to start promoting it, right? Don't forget what my second uncle does!"

Ban Zheyu said with great pride.

Xiao He had met Ban Zheyu's second uncle before; he was Ban Heng, the general manager of the operations department of International Fule Company.

Just like in China, foreign versions of Douyin (TikTok) have now become an important platform for promoting many film and television works.

"Ford v Ferrari 7" is no exception. It has targeted this promotional channel and signed a contract with Yangdou for cooperation in promotion as early as the operation and promotion period.

Therefore, Ban Zheyu could learn some information about Xiao He's upcoming overseas trip from his second uncle.

Incidentally, because Xiao He saved Ban Zheyu before, Ban Zheyu's family has always been grateful to Xiao He, so they gave Xiao He the maximum amount of attention within their authority.

Therefore, although Xiao He has not gone abroad to promote his work abroad since "No Bait" to increase his international fame, his popularity among young people abroad has not diminished at all.

Many overseas fans have also noticed that videos related to Xiao He are getting a lot of traffic abroad. As a result, they are happy to share Xiao He's information and videos in China to attract overseas fans to watch and like them. This has successfully created a harmonious balance between the overseas traffic and the domestic traffic.

Even many of Xiao He's later works received a great deal of attention, especially his characters Yin Qi and the White-Haired Hacker, who were very well-known abroad, with a large number of related edited ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ videos and fan creations. Even the comics "Yu Ye" and "Phantom Thief Alliance 2" were profitable. In particular, the official merchandise for the second season of "Yu Ye" and the chibi version of Yin Qi were snapped up, with fans as obsessed as those in China.

This is all thanks to the support of the Ban family.

And in this trend of idol worship, there is another person who has benefited from it—that is "Xiao Zhao Liu Liu".

As Xiao He's "mentor" and "the editor who gets millions of views," Xiao Zhao Liu Bu Liu has also successfully stepped out of the country.

And it's also backed by Linghui Entertainment!

This was all thanks to the operation of Xiaozhou.

While operating his overseas accounts, he discovered that someone had gained immense popularity abroad by reposting Xiao Zhao Liu Bu Liu's videos.

While it's also a promotional video, and doing this allows more people to see Xiao He, which is naturally a great thing from a fan's perspective, from a creator's perspective, it's completely stealing the fruits of their labor, stifling their enthusiasm, and is utterly disgusting.

Moreover, Xiao Zhao is truly a heavyweight fan of Xiao He. The level of support she gives Xiao He on Bilibili is such that it could fill a separate fan book within the Xiao He fan community.

So after the report was submitted, Linghui Entertainment acted decisively, working with Ban Zheyu's second uncle, Ban Heng, to thoroughly investigate the situation of the reposting. Then, in coordination with Xiao Zhao Liu Bu Liu's newly opened overseas account "xiaozhao666", they carried out new traffic redirection and recommendations.

As a result, Xiao Zhao Liu Bu Liu was successfully recruited into Ling Hui's group and gained new fans and attention abroad.

She probably never imagined that she would become a sensation overseas.

Well, they still rely on their own idols to rise to fame and go abroad.

I'm really happy.

-

In short, because of his relationship with Ban Zheyu, Xiao He has gained considerable fame and popularity abroad, and has maintained a very good status since the hit drama "No Bait".

Upon seeing Ban Zheyu personally come to pick him up at the airport, Xiao He naturally expressed his surprise and gratitude: "Thank you for your hard work! It's really kind of you to make this special trip."

Liu Rulan, who was pushing a suitcase, smiled at Ban Zheyu in a friendly manner: "I was originally going to take Xiao He to visit President Ban personally after the event here. We have to thank you all for the publicity on the internet."

"Hehe, it's nothing, it's nothing, it's just a small matter! Brother Xiao is my savior, we can't let him suffer any loss!"

Ban Zheyu scratched his head sheepishly and smiled, "It's a pity that I couldn't catch up with Brother Xiao's offline events this time since I went back to China for the Spring Festival. But my sister and I both watched 'Mistaken Identity'! It's so good! Brother Xiao, if this were released overseas, it would definitely be a hit!"

As the group walked out, they chatted, and Xiao He listened as Ban Zheyu recounted the previous serial murder case.

When Xiao He heard that the case was still in the trial stage, he was both surprised and not entirely surprised.

Given the current chaotic situation, the fact that this case has reached the trial stage is already considered quite efficient, thanks to the efforts of the Ban family.

“My second uncle said that in the end, this situation will probably only result in a life sentence.”

At this point, Ban Zheyu pursed his lips in displeasure.

After all, he almost lost his life back then! And the other party already had several murder cases on his record.

It's infuriating that there's no death penalty.

Xiao He sighed, unsure how to comment on the matter, as it would involve many topics.

Finally, Liu Rulan changed the subject, saying, "Is there anywhere you need Xiao He's autograph this time? He's mainly here to attend a promotional event, so he might not be able to stay for very long. If he's busy later, you can have him sign it for you now."

"Okay, sure!"

Ban Zheyu immediately forgot about the incident and quickly pulled out the support items he had prepared: "Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao, my sister prepared these! I want some too!"

"OK, no problem."

Xiao He skillfully signed Ban Zheyu's name and even took a selfie with Ban Zheyu's Polaroid camera, creating a special airport OOTD.

OOTD: Today's outfit.

Before getting into the car, Xiao He casually asked, "Aren't you coming with us? We'll take you directly."

"No need, no need. I brought my own driver, specifically to pick you up from the airport. It won't delay your schedule, Brother Xiao."

Ban Zheyu quickly waved his hand, but while putting his things away, he leaned against the car window and whispered to Xiao He, "By the way, Brother Xiao, my second uncle asked me to remind you that there have been a lot of strikes and demonstrations here recently, and the security is not as good as it was last time. Please be careful during your trip."

Last time, Xiao He wandered around the hotel alone after the event and accidentally met Ban Zheyu, saving Ban Zheyu's life.

Ban Heng was worried that Xiao He would run out and get into danger again, just like last time.

Upon hearing this, Xiao He smiled and nodded to Ban Zheyu in thanks: "Thank you for reminding me. I understand. I will be careful and won't wander around."

They were planning to finish this quickly and didn't want to get involved in anything complicated.
