Celestial Master: I Have an Otherworld-Chapter 33: Superstar
"Chen Wan!"
"Chen Wan!"
"Chen Wan, I love you!"
"I love you too!"
"We all love you!"
"Ah..."
At the concert venue, cheers filled the air.
Signs with Chen Wan’s name and colorful silicone bracelets waved back and forth, and the surrounding enthusiasm was infectious.
The shouting grew louder, even reaching a frenzy.
Especially since the usually composed superstar performed a rare, hot dance, which whipped the whole crowd into a frenzy, with cheers echoing nonstop.
"What are you looking at?"
Zhou Qingqing shouted into Fang Zheng’s ear:
"Isn’t it exciting to see a beautiful woman showing off her legs and striking poses?"
The scene was so chaotic that it was deafening; without shouting, even people close by couldn’t hear, so all communication relied on yelling.
"Qingqing," Guo Erqiu chimed in beside them:
"Don’t say that about Fang Zheng."
Despite her words, she still looked a bit uneasy, since Fang Zheng had been indifferent until just now.
Men can’t help but be attracted to beauty.
At least pretend a bit in front of us!
"No,"
Fang Zheng shook his head and explained:
"I have a friend up there."
"A friend?" Guo Erqiu blinked:
"Among the backup dancers?"
Chen Wan’s hot dance was undoubtedly captivating, and those dancing with her had outfits that could be described as barely covering them.
The nightclub crowd might not be much different?
"Yes." Fang Zheng nodded and continued:
"I heard Chen Wan wants to transform her image recently; it seems to be true, as she never performed this kind of act before."
"Transform?" Zhou Qingqing’s attention shifted immediately:
"She’s doing so well in music; why change now?"
"Probably wants to earn more money." Fang Zheng shrugged; with his limited knowledge, he could only blame everything on money.
However, he managed to give some insights:
"In recent years, games and short videos have developed rapidly; young people don’t really idolize singers that much, and it’s not as lucrative for the artists."
"Chen Wan is just in her early thirties, looking to try new paths is quite normal."
In the music industry, Chen Wan had almost reached her peak; reaching the top of her career in her thirties is something to be proud of.
But now...
Singers aren’t in demand!
Music charts have become a tool for others to manipulate, losing their authority and interest.
A few years ago, there were still entertainment shows to discover singers, where you could make extra cash as a guest judge. Now, it’s no longer popular.
It seems like Chen Wan has hit an unlucky patch, reaching her career peak during an industry lull.
But unlike other singers,
Chen Wan is very beautiful, meaning she can turn to acting in TV dramas and movies; even if they don’t do well, she can return to singing.
With her influence, she can even lead in some smaller film projects.
Zhou Qingqing was skeptical: "How do you know?"
"Chen Wan is from our school." Fang Zheng smiled:
"I used to be in the entertainment circle too, though only on the outskirts, running errands and gathering secondhand news."
"So, it may not be true."
"Chen Wan is from your school?" Zhou Qingqing wasn’t interested in Fang Zheng’s past, but she caught his key point instantly:
"Can you help us get an autograph then?"
"Fang Zheng, please help!"
As she spoke, she leaned close, holding Fang Zheng’s arm and shaking it, her coquettish tone giving Guo Erqiu goosebumps.
"She’s a big star; she wouldn’t know me at all."
"Just give it a try!"
"Well..." Seeing the hopeful look Guo Erqiu gave him, Fang Zheng hesitated a bit before saying:
"Alright then, but let me warn you, if it doesn’t work, don’t blame me."
"Of course, we won’t blame you!"
Zhou Qingqing nodded vigorously.

Having agreed to get an autograph, Fang Zheng naturally had some confidence.
One of the coordinators arranging the concert was a fellow alumnus, a student body president a year ahead of him, He Zhuofan.
The two had worked together before, so they were somewhat familiar with each other.
"Want an autograph?"
He Zhuofan, handsome with a gentle demeanor, his gold-rimmed glasses added a unique touch, and he was impeccably groomed.
Meeting Fang Zheng backstage, he furrowed his brows slightly:
"In a couple of days, Sister Wan’Er will hold a fan signing event when she leaves Qu City; can’t you get one then?"
"I’m just worried I won’t get a spot." Fang Zheng replied:
"Senior, please do me a favor."
"You..." He Zhuofan was speechless:
"Alright, you’ve helped me before too. I’ll ask Sister Wan’Er in a bit. If it doesn’t work, don’t blame me."
"Of course." Fang Zheng nodded.
A moment later.
He Zhuofan waved to the three:
"Come over!"
"Yay!"
Zhou Qingqing waved her arms excitedly.
The backstage was chaotic, with lighting technicians, makeup artists, and casual workers bustling about, except for the area near Chen Wan, which was clear.
Big stars seem very distant from ordinary people, but in reality, they aren’t aloof at all. They’re quite common for the staff.
If you have a good relationship, asking for an autograph or photo is usually granted.
Of course.
Some celebrities are a bit cold, but Chen Wan clearly isn’t one of those.
Both girls were obviously this close to a major star for the first time, feeling both nervous and excited. Guo Erqiu clung tightly to Fang Zheng.
"Sister Wan’Er!"
Chen Wan turned back, smiling sweetly at them:
"Where should I sign?"
"Here, here!" Zhou Qingqing lifted her shirt, revealing her smooth belly and said excitedly:
"Please, Sister Wan’Er."
"Uh..." Chen Wan paused with her pen in hand, seemingly not expecting to sign there, then shrugged:
"Okay!"
It’s natural that Guo Erqiu couldn’t match Zhou Qingqing’s boldness, so she took out a photo of Chen Wan to get an autograph, and casually asked for a group photo.
Fang Zheng also got two, to give to Dapeng later.
Then, before the agent could hurry them, they tactfully thanked her profusely and left.
"Big stars are quite down-to-earth, aren’t they?" Zhou Qingqing looked satisfied, lifting her shirt to check the signature and twisting her slim waist:
"I’m not showering this month!"
"Eww..." Guo Erqiu looked disgusted:
"If you don’t shower, don’t come over to sleep."
"I will, I will." Zhou Qingqing laughed and pounced over, and the two girls immediately started playfully fighting, laughing nonstop.
"Fang Zheng!"
At this moment, a voice called out:
"Didn’t Boss Wen say you wouldn’t come?"
The newcomer was dressed boldly and flamboyantly, like wearing lingerie with a sheer veil on top, flaunting her curvy figure and long legs.
The sheer veil added an ethereal beauty.
"I came to watch the concert." Fang Zheng replied with a smile:
"You really splurged this time!"
"Hmph!" Lu Qian snorted softly:
"Ten thousand bucks in three days, I’m not even going fully bare. Do you think money like this is easy to earn? Are these your friends?"
"Yes." Fang Zheng nodded, introducing everyone:
"Guo Erqiu, Zhou Qingqing."
"This is Lu Qian!"
Guo Erqiu stopped playing around and leaned closer to Fang Zheng, sizing up Lu Qian, greeting her politely but with a hint of distance.
After a few words, they all parted ways.
"Is Lu Qian the friend you mentioned?" Guo Erqiu pursed her lips:
"Nice figure."
"She studied dance, so she keeps her weight well-controlled." Fang Zheng said:
"I have no other relationship with her."
"Who asked you that?" Guo Erqiu’s face flushed:
"Honestly..."
"I don’t think this Lu Qian is a decent person." Zhou Qingqing chimed in from the side:
"Dressed so provocatively and so natural about it, she’s probably used to it. Whoever gets involved with such a woman is unlucky."
Fang Zheng gave an odd look.
Your outfit isn’t that different, is it?
......
Night.
Guo Erqiu lay in bed, sleeping soundly.
"According to what you say, Fang Zheng inherited some money from his uncle but probably not much, is okay-looking, and has a decent temper." Zhou Qingqing ticked off on her fingers:
"Aside from not having parents, he doesn’t have notable flaws, but he doesn’t have any special advantages either. Erqiu, you’ve waited over twenty years just for someone like him?"
"Oh, shut up." Guo Erqiu turned over:
"Nothing’s happened yet..."
"Nothing’s happened yet?" Zhou Qingqing teased with a strange tone:
"Then don’t agree to go out with him tomorrow. Otherwise, hand him over to me, I don’t mind."
"Get lost!"
Guo Erqiu threw a pillow over:
"I just...feel like we can talk well."
"Oh no!" Zhou Qingqing leaned back, lying next to Guo Erqiu:
"I was hoping for a passionate love story from you, but it looks like that’s not happening. You’ve been won over so easily."
"So boring!"
"Where’s all that passionate love supposed to come from?" Guo Erqiu rolled her eyes:
"We’re all just ordinary people, a simple life is the real deal."
"Seems like you’ve really fallen." Zhou Qingqing turned, burying her face in the soft pillow:
"No hope for you!"
"I just..." Guo Erqiu’s lips curled up:
"Feel like he’s worth talking to."
