Huayu 2002, I'm going to dominate the music scene!

Early the next morning, in the eastern suburbs of Yanjing, at the printing plant of "Bigstar" magazine.

Zhuo Wei stood beside the printing press, watching magazines, still smelling of ink, roll off the production line.

The cover photo of Gao Yuanyuan and Song Mo was particularly eye-catching, and the headline next to it, "Qingzui Girl and Jin Suo in a love triangle? Mysterious man's face revealed!" was particularly glaring in the morning light.

He picked up a book, turned to the inner pages, and read his own report again.

The three photos are arranged in a row. The first is a blurry photo of Fan Binbin being dragged along. The second is a clear photo of Gao Yuanyuan and Song Mo shopping at the supermarket. The third is the frontal photo, where the man's face is a bit blurry, but his outline is still visible.

In the report, he wrote the story in a sensational and dramatic way, about Fan Binbin's mysterious boyfriend who was also having an ambiguous relationship with Gao Yuanyuan... His words were inflammatory and full of hints, but there was not a single piece of solid evidence.

"This issue is sure to be a bestseller." Feng Ke walked over, also holding a copy in his hand, flipping through it over and over.

Zhuo Wei didn't say anything, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

He was all too familiar with this feeling; he felt the same way the night he photographed Zhang Ziyi and Fang Long last year.

The premonition that a major news story was about to explode in his hands sent chills down his spine.

"Let's go." He stuffed the magazine into his bag. "Let's wait and see how the newsstand reacts."

The magazine was shipped from the printing plant to major newsstands and convenience stores throughout Beijing.

At 10 a.m., a newsstand in Chaoyang District.

The shop owner had just placed the newly arrived "Bigstar" magazine in the most prominent position when a middle-aged man on a bicycle stopped, glanced at the cover, and bought a copy.

"Who is this guy? Why did Jin Suo take a liking to him?" he asked casually.

The shop owner shook his head: "I don't know, but this batch sold exceptionally well."

Before he finished speaking, another young woman came in, picked up the magazine, flipped through it, her eyes widened, and she paid without saying a word.

In less than an hour, all twenty copies of the magazine were sold out.

Seeing this, the boss immediately called the wholesaler to urge them to deliver the goods.

It can only be said that entertainment is indeed scarce these days, so people get particularly excited when they see a little bit of gossip.

Afternoon dismissal at Yenching No. 14 Middle School.

A group of students who had just finished school were crowded in front of the newspaper stand at the school gate.

Yang Mi ran out of the school gate with her schoolbag on her back, her steps quick and hurried.

She was particularly excited today because she and Zhang Zixuan were the cover models for this issue of Rayli magazine.

This is her first time on a magazine cover, and she's been looking forward to it for days.

"Boss, do you have Rayli magazine?" she asked breathlessly as she ran to the newsstand.

The boss was a man in his fifties, and he and she were already quite familiar with each other.

After all, who in the entire No. 14 Middle School didn't know the name of Miss Yang? She was known for being daring and impulsive, and had caused quite a bit of trouble.

But she's pretty and has a sweet tongue, so even the teachers can't do anything about her.

"Rayli hasn't arrived yet." The shopkeeper flipped through the shelves behind him. "How about we take a look at Bigstar? This magazine is selling like hotcakes today. I heard they photographed Jin Suo dating a guy."

Yang Mi's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.

Jin Suo? The Jin Suo from "My Fair Princess"?

She acted in movies when she was young and has always been interested in the entertainment industry. She hasn't filmed much in the past two years, focusing on her studies, but her dream of becoming a star has never died.

"How much?" she asked.

Five pieces.

Yang Mi took out five yuan and slapped it on the table, then picked up a book and started flipping through it.

The title on the cover made her heart race. Of course she knew Gao Yuanyuan, the girl from Qingzui; that guy was on TV every day.

Moreover, Gao Yuanyuan is considered her senior, since Gao Yuanyuan used to be a print model for Ruili.

As for Fan Binbin as Jin Suo, she is even more familiar with her; she has watched "My Fair Princess" no less than five times.

Are these two people with the same man?

She flipped through the pages, looking at each photograph.

The first picture is so blurry you can't see the face clearly. The second picture shows the man's profile, which is still blurry. Then you flip to the third picture.

She stared at the front-facing photo for several seconds.

Although the photo is low resolution and the facial features are somewhat blurry, it is still possible to tell that it is a young man, very tall, and quite handsome.

She looked back at the first photo, the one of Fan Binbin being dragged along by that man.

"The two are such a perfect match, it's like something out of an idol drama."

"Who is this?" Yang Mi muttered to herself.

"I don't know, but he's a handsome guy. Where's Rayli magazine? Hasn't it arrived yet?" At this moment, Zhang Zixuan, who had been following her for a while, came over and looked at it with her.

They went to the same school and were both models for Ruili magazine, so even though they were in different grades, they had a good relationship.

Yang Mi quickly scanned the report. Zhuo Wei's writing style was shrewd, and his wording was exceptionally bold. Zhang Zixuan quickly became convinced of the love triangle.

This made her quite disgusted with this man, "He's two-timing; handsome men are indeed unreliable."

Yang Mi, who usually pays close attention to the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment industry, disagreed with the report.

"Isn't this just making up a story?" She frowned slightly, but her eyes couldn't help but keep looking down.

"Is this a fabrication? If it is, that's great. This guy is quite handsome, he's my type." Zhang Zixuan's expression changed instantly.

She then added, "I wonder who this man is? He's quite mysterious."

Yang Mi didn't answer. She rolled up the magazine, stuffed it into her schoolbag, and hurried home.

She was curious, of course.

It wasn't just Yang Mi who was curious.

On this day, from Beijing to Tianjin, in countless newsstands, "Bigstar" was placed in the most prominent position.

One by one, people stopped, picked up the magazine, flipped to those pages, stared at the blurry frontal photo, and the same question popped into their minds:

Who exactly is this person?

In the office, a female office worker was flipping through a magazine during her lunch break when she came across the report and started discussing it with her colleagues.

"Guess who this is?"

In a university dormitory, several girls were huddled around a magazine, chattering and arguing about which girl the guy liked better.

In the internet cafe, someone was smoking while browsing Tianya (a Chinese online forum). With the release of "Bigstar," another wave of heated discussions has been sparked on Tianya.

Even some traditional media outlets have started to follow suit.

A reporter called Fan Binbin's father and asked, "Is Fan Binbin's boyfriend someone in the entertainment industry?"

Her father had never encountered this situation before. He was stunned for a long time before finally managing to say, "That's not true," and then quickly hung up.

When her father found her, she was wearing a face mask, and her phone kept ringing, but she pretended not to hear it.

"Is this what you mean by letting the hype linger?"

Fan Binbin hadn't expected this to even make it into "Celebrity Bigstar," but she remained calm and said in a composed tone, "Dad, don't worry. Once this magazine comes out, my fame will increase even more, right? Isn't that better than acting?"

Her father opened his mouth as if to say something, but then swallowed it back.

He didn't understand these things, but he knew that his daughter's popularity these past few days was indeed higher than it had been in the entire past year combined.

But this reputation isn't very good; a love triangle, even thirty years later, would be enough to warrant a conviction for hooliganism.
