Two days later, the annual Douyin Carnival is about to start today at Wuhan's Jiangtan.
Douyin has taken over Jiangtan for three days, decorating the area to be filled with the atmosphere of Douyin livestreaming.
Everywhere, there are Douyin logos, mascots, and small activities.
This year's facilities and events seem to be even more grand than before.
Early in the morning, Jiangtan was already packed, with many tourists from other places, as locals generally don't co to Jiangtan this early.
There were not only tourists, but many livestrears had also appeared at Jiangtan.
They held selfie sticks and used their phones to livestream the outdoor scenes of Jiangtan.
However, those who co this early are usually just small livestrears, as big ones wouldn't be foolish enough to co this early.
Small livestrears, on the other hand, have to co because the golden ti slots have already been taken by the big ones, leaving no chance for them.
They must seize the opportunity to quickly livestream the outdoor Jiangtan scenes, hoping to catch a big strear and maybe even follow them, thus gaining a massive amount of fans they normally wouldn't get.
Though it seems that the tourists entering don't recognize each other, true livestream fans have already co prepared.
Before coming, they've already ordered special clothes representing their idols, making it easy to recognize whose fan they are.
Among the tourists, so were wearing big, bold t-shirts with the word "骚" (provocative) printed on them, featuring a large cartoon fat character wearing glasses.
The most "provocative" part was that this fat character was holding a cigarette, but the cigarette tip was pointing toward his mouth—this was obviously PDD's signature move, reverse smoking.
This person was naturally a fan from PDD's livestream.
So others wore shirts printed with a slim, yet humorous face, with a secret book in front of them and the phrase "套你猴子" (to trick you, monkey) on the back.
Everyone could imdiately recognize this as a fan of Xu Xu Bao Bao.
There were also many other shirts from famous strears, like Da Si Ma's "rice jar", Da An Quan's chubby face with glasses, and an ani avatar from Sao Bai.
There were even people wearing shirts from retired strears turned hosts, like Ma La Xiang Guo, the singing pigeon King Er Ke, and the rare yet popular black material-filled Feng Ti Mo.
These were all from true fans of various strears, or else they wouldn't have specially bought customized clothes to attend the carnival.
However, none of these colorful clothes could compare to a red t-shirt.
This red t-shirt had the word "明" (Ming) printed on the chest and a cool cartoon face on the back, holding a 98k gun.
The frequency of this red t-shirt's appearance was much higher than the other clothes, and almost every strear who entered and fild Jiangtan could be seen wearing it.
There were so many of them that it made it hard to focus on the other colored t-shirts.
It wasn't because the shirt was particularly good-looking, but because the person wearing it represented fans from Jiang Siming's livestream, fans of Ming Shen!
"My gosh, I've only been in Jiangtan for ten minutes, and I've already seen at least a couple hundred Ming Shen's fans, I only saw a dozen or so of PDD's shirts, this is terrifying."
One small strear gasped in amazent...
Among the tourists, there were also people wearing clothes of Dai Dai and Tuan Tuan, and quite a few of them too.
However, up until now, no real big strears had appeared, and the tourists could only enjoy their own ti at Jiangtan.
By the afternoon, the number of visitors at Jiangtan reached a historic high, with over 300,000 people gathered.
Since this event had been held before, Wuhan's public security would always send officers to maintain order.
Douyin's annual carnival at Jiangtan benefits Wuhan a lot, promoting tourism and boosting consumption.
It's a win-win situation, and Wuhan's governnt certainly supports it, fearing any accidents at the venue, with safety being the top priority.
Wuhan's governnt didn't expect this year's carnival to be so crowded, almost twice the size of last year, so they quickly sent more police officers to manage the situation.
At 3 PM, there was a small commotion at the entrance of Jiangtan, and finally, the first big strear appeared.
Da An Quan from Northeast China, a well-known League of Legends strear, with a livestream style resembling a codic show, quick-witted and a genuinely good-hearted strear.
He has over 70,000 fans, and many people know him.
As soon as Da An Quan appeared, the tourists at the entrance got excited, calling out and greeting him.
The big quail smiled gently and waved to the people around him.
However, the commotion he caused only lasted for a while before it changed, as another big strear arrived, Da Si Ma.
The appearance of Da Si Ma caused an even greater stir at Jiangtan.
"Da Si Ma!"
"Teacher Ma!"
"Hello, Teacher Ma!"
... This is the difference in fa; the more popular you are, the more you are welcod at Jiangtan. This is sothing that cannot be faked, because the eyes of the crowd are sharp.
However, soon, an even bigger commotion arose as major strears appeared one after another, with Xu Xu Bao Bao and PDD also appearing at Jiangtan.
The atmosphere at Jiangtan suddenly beca unprecedentedly lively, with almost all the tourists following their respective strears. Wherever the strears went, the tourists followed.
The only ones who were scattered were the red-clad tourists, who seed like headless flies, looking here and there, but always like a scattered group.
They could only envy the fans of others following their idols, while they still had to wait at the entrance.
"Has Ming God arrived yet?"
"Not yet, don't know how long we'll have to wait."
"No matter how long we wait, it's fine, Ming God is my favorite strear. We're willing to wait here for three days!"
"That's right, we're real fans. If we can't wait this little ti, how can we call ourselves real fans!"
"Wait, it looks like he's here!"
... Amid the discussion, Jiang Siming finally appeared at Jiangtan.
His appearance suddenly made the entrance of Jiangtan feel like a concert that had just exploded. The crowd seed to have seen a true superstar, and the atmosphere went wild.
The dense group of red-clad fans imdiately surrounded Jiang Siming, making it impossible for anyone to get through.
"Ming God, Ming God! I love you!"
"Ming God, I'm your fan~~"
"Ming God, can you sign an autograph for ?"
"Ming God, hubby~ you've finally co~"
...
Jiang Siming knew this would happen, so when Di Di and Tuan Tuan wanted to co with him, he refused.
With so many people surrounding him, it would be inconvenient for the two girls.
They now had security arranged by Zhao Xuan, so they were completely safe.
Jiang Siming, however, was in trouble. Although he also had security guards, these guards were no match for the huge crowd and couldn't get him out.
Jiang Siming smiled bitterly and said to everyone, "Okay, okay, I'll sign autographs and take photos, just don't push, one at a ti."
Thus, Jiang Siming spent a torturous three hours at the entrance of Jiangtan, unable to move, continuously signing autographs and taking photos until dark.
During this ti, he signed at least a few thousand autographs and took nurous photos.
