Chapter 396: Celebrities and Internet Stars Gather! 

Soon, the celebration banquet began.

Many people arrived at the scene, but the majority were staff members and media from all walks of life.

The faces of these media personnel were filled with excitement, and even more were operators from various self-media platforms.

Some online influencers with tens of millions of followers also showed up.

It was as if they were swarming—many unfamiliar faces, yet all had gathered here.

At this moment, the entire undeveloped island was filled with all kinds of public figures. There were even some heavyweight celebrities present. The scene could easily be described as a massive gathering of the entire entertainment industry.

“Xingxing, you came too? Were you invited, or did you volunteer like me?”

“Don’t even mention it. My head is full of Big Brother’s back view now. I finally understand what it means to chase a star.”

“You’re not the only one. I wasn’t even following this show at first. My assistant kept recommending it to me nonstop, and the more I watched, the more I fell in. I even turned down a major event just to come here.”

“Alright, enough. Besides the on-site media, which of us celebrities or influencers didn’t come voluntarily?”

“This show is so popular it doesn’t even need us to promote it. Honestly, people might even say we’re here to ride the wave.”

“Let them say it then. I just want to see Big Brother. I don’t even care what he looks like. Just his skills and intelligence are enough to win me over.”

At that moment, a group of celebrities were gathered together, passionately discussing.

Even those who previously had conflicts were getting along harmoniously. All just to catch a glimpse of this extraordinary figure.

Just as the crowd was chatting away, open-air music suddenly began playing.

As the music rang out, everyone stopped talking simultaneously. All eyes turned to the host who had stepped onto the stage not far away.

The host for this event was a top-tier, nationally renowned presenter.

“Welcome, everyone, to the celebration banquet of our program. I already saw how excited you all are backstage. To be honest, I’m feeling extremely excited myself right now.”

Teacher He, one of the most famous names in the country, began to speak.

After a brief opening statement, Director Zhou also stepped onto the stage. Behind Director Zhou were two staff members holding a plaque-like object.

However, this plaque was still covered with a red cloth.

At a glance, it was clear it was a giant check.

The moment Director Zhou got the mic, he went straight into it.

“I’ve been watching from backstage for a while. As Teacher He just said, none of you are really here for us today. So, I won’t waste your time. But I still have to say this, Big Brother will always be Big Brother. You don’t have to believe me. You don’t even have to believe in this program. But you must believe in Big Brother.”

The entire audience erupted in laughter.

But some sharp-witted individuals instantly realized Director Zhou had definitely met Wang Yun.

If a seasoned director with a keen eye for people could say such things, then Wang Yun’s looks had to exceed all their expectations.

The atmosphere at the venue immediately reached its peak.

“Now, let us all welcome this legendary figure—Wang Yun, Big Brother!” Teacher He shouted with excitement.

The event’s music swelled into a frenzy.

Everyone’s emotions were fired up. No one knew who started it, but a voice called out:

“Big Bro! Big Bro!”

With that, everyone joined in, shouting together.

Meanwhile, backstage, Wang Yun stood still, listening to the shouts of the crowd. For some reason, a part of his heart suddenly felt full.

“Is this that damned vanity?” Wang Yun muttered to himself, then glanced over at Brother Hu and Xiao Gang beside him.

teacher He had briefly introduced the two earlier—just in passing, but it was enough to get both of their hearts racing.

“You two, calm down. It’s not that big a deal.”

Wang Yun teased as he looked at them, but the two of them were too overwhelmed to respond.

Wang Yun shook his head helplessly, stood up tall, and walked straight toward the stage.

The moment Wang Yun stepped onto the stage, a spotlight beamed straight down on him.

It was 4:15 in the afternoon.

There was still daylight, but even so, the stage light was incredibly bright. It was so bright that Wang Yun instinctively wanted to shield his eyes. But he was wearing sunglasses, so he resisted the urge and lowered his hand.

“Big Bro! Big Bro!”

“Ahhh! Big Bro is so handsome! God, even with a hat and sunglasses on, why is he still so good-looking?!”

“Oh my god, exactly what I imagined. What kind of perfect human is this?!”

“I can’t take it anymore. I just imagined a whole idol drama in my head. I’m melting!”

“I’ve already decided which school our future children are going to!”

In the crowd below, influencers with millions of followers and female streamers known for their icy image—all lost their composure in that moment. Even a few actresses who had come quietly to witness Wang Yun’s presence couldn’t help but cover their mouths. Their eyes sparkling with light.
