The scheduled film location was to be at a studio near Songjiang film city. Since they had signed with a movie city, the equipment was complete, and everything was accessible, regardless if they were filming a MV or doing post-production work.
When Meng Fan and sister Sun arrived, there was a small crowd of people outside the studio. It comprised mostly of girls and all of them holding excessive glow sticks and signs.
“They aren’t here for Shan Jin bro are they…”
“Uhm, it should be for a Korean actor.”
“I thought they banned that? Is it resolved?”
“Actually, there wasn’t an official ban or no ban. They just have a tacit understanding from top to bottom. But it’s been much looser lately, and we’ve seen many more Korean stars in the mainland. But they don’t promote the events they attend, and actors are even more strictly regulated. Even if the ban has been lifted, it’s different now. In the last two years, the domestic trainee program that follows the system of elimination has expanded rapidly, and even managed to push out several groups to debut. Plus, due to the existing high-quality idols, it’s very unlikely that the K-pop trend will return to the mainland.”
“I see. But it seems like this guy’s pretty popular.”
“That makes sense. Our idols haven’t had much time to develop, so their performing abilities and endurance are still being tested, and the operating capabilities of their management companies are also lacking. Therefore, the circle of K-pop fans is still very significant. Habitually comparing, the rate of transitioning fans is not high. Only a few of them would turn their support to stars from other countries. Hence, if they were to completely ban it, everything would really be up in the air. At least, it would be a big test for domestic companies with idol groups. Su Qing Cen’s company actually has an idol group of their own…”
The two chatted as they circled around the fans to enter the front gate.
Suddenly, sister Sun saw Meng Fan crease his brows and curiously looked towards him. But she wasn’t as tall as Meng Fan, and from behind the crowd, she couldn’t see a thing.
Following this, sister Sun noticed that the fan circle had become rather disturbed. She followed the group of fans as they backed up like a tide, which broadened her vision. She saw a girl holding her head lying on the ground, while two burly looking men who appeared to be bodyguards were kicking and punching her.
The K-pop idol’s bodyguards were beating her up!
Sister Sun’s attitude changed immediately. It’s been so long since something like this happened on the news, and right in front of her eyes too.
After her field of vision widened, the two bodyguards also stopped. They scolded her a few incomprehensible words and menacingly looked at the other people present. They turned and headed towards the K-pop star.
The spectating fans were all shocked. They couldn’t believe such a thing had just happened in front of their eyes.
“Why did you have to hit her?!”
“Yeah, why do you think you can just hit people?!”
“Didn’t you see this dumbass trying to pull at Park Jae Hye?”
“Which fan group is she from, I already said to stay in order!”
“Look what you did, Park Jae Hye is angry now!”
“Yeah, it’s not often Park Jae Hye comes to visit, she deserved to be hit!”
“She’s definitely a fake fan!”
“Send out a notification, the fans present are restricted from posting videos and photographs and must undergo review before they can be uploaded. You cannot bring any negative comments to Park Jae Hye!”
The fan group sounded in protest. Although some were upset with the violence, a lot of the fans present were from an organized fan club, so their voices were suppressed very quickly.
At this time, the fans saw a shadow brush by them, charging at the bodyguards with both arms open. He passed the bodyguards with deadly speed.
Thump-thump.
This guy was tall and had his arms raised just behind the neck of the bodyguards. His arms were like two rods protruding from a tank, slamming the bodyguards directly into the ground making a soft thumping sound.
If you added a ring rope to this scene, it would be a re-enactment of American style wrestling.
All of this happened even faster and more unexpected than when the bodyguards had beat up the fan. It was even more unbelievable too.
“Meng Fan?!” Sister Sun was stunned.
The spectators did not react in time. In a rush, Meng Fan, who had fallen over, charging the bodyguards on the ground stood up and walked towards the K-pop star.
“??????”*
*(What do you study?)
The expression of the idol’s manager also changed. She stood in front of the K-pop star, barricading him from Meng Fan, and began to scold.
Meng Fan, who was still burning with anger did not care if this manager was a male or a female, and reached out and brushed her aside. As he did so, he reached for the collar of this K-pop idol, and greeted him with a thunderous slap to the face!
Bam!
His slap was loud, and everyone heard it. The crowd suddenly went quiet.
“You hit me! Why did you hit me?!”
Park Jae Hai was stunned as well. He then began to scream. At first, it was in Korean, then severely mispronounced Mandarin. He grappled like a lunatic at Meng Fan’s neckline, almost attacking him with his teeth.
“Why didn’t you think of that when you were hitting that girl just now?!”
Meng Fan fiercely turned around and threw the K-pop star beside the two bodyguards with immense strength. The idol couldn’t stand straight and landed beside the bodyguards on his bottom with a thud.
The bodyguard raised his head to receive another punch.
“I didn’t hit anyone!”
Park Jae Hye shuffled away from the bodyguard. This time, he had brought two bodyguards. In addition to a female secretary and a female manager. The bodyguards had been slammed to the ground once again, which exhausted him of all energy.
Before he’d gotten a dozen or so bodyguards!
Goddamn it!
His eyes continuously signaled his manager and his secretary, asking them to quickly resolve this. The big guy in front of him was a lunatic!
“You didn’t hit anyone?” Meng Fan took a step towards him. He then pointed at the female fan, who was still writhing on the floor clutching her head. “I f*cking saw you slap her before pushing her to the ground, and you even told your bodyguards to keep hitting her! She only pulled at you!” He then pointed to everyone present. “There are so many people watching, how can you still say no?!”
Park Jae Hye’s eyes lit up as if his energy had been replenished. He stood up and looked at his fans, lamely asking, “You guys saw, I didn’t hit anybody right?!”
The group of fans went into silence.
Very quickly, the silence was broken by a girl in a puffy skirt and pigtails. “Park Jae Hye didn’t hit anyone, this b*tch didn’t follow the rules and approached to pull at him, it’s her own fault she got hit by his bodyguards!” She then tried to rouse the rest of the crowd. “Don’t you guys agree, Park Jae Hye didn’t hit anyone!”
“Yes yes yes, Park Jae Hye didn’t hit anyone!”
“Yeah, why would Park Jae Hye do such a thing?!”
“She deserved it!”
“Who the hell are you, why did you hit Park Jae Hye?”
“We must protect Park Jae Hye!”
“Attack him!”
Meng Fan’s expression was blank. He looked at the girl with pigtails. “Do you have a conscience?” He then looked at the others who had followed her lead. “Are you guys all blind? Does your heart not hurt?”
The dozen or so fans continued to scream. No matter how riled up they were, nobody dared approach. Meng Fan had been extraordinarily fierce just now, and with his menacing glance, the fans were stunned in their steps.
“I don’t care about you, or what country you’re from, nor if you’re a fan or not. You all f*cking disgust me! I don’t understand how a few men would team up and hit a girl, and how people can pretend they never saw anything. And you’re even protecting him! Pursuing idols is such a wonderful thing, but look at you guys, how shameful!”
Meng Fan was furious. He turned and kicked Park Jae Hye who had just stood up, back into the ground.
