On the other hand, the live broadcast of Yu Hui and her husband being interviewed at the premiere had already begun trending on star network.
Honestly, it wasn’t surprising for the movie adaptation of Fish Soup Noodles’ work to make it onto the hot search.
There were always several reporters covering every event.
Many fish fans who couldn’t get tickets loved watching these interview live broadcasts, never missing an episode. Listening to everyone talk excitedly about Fish Soup Noodles’ adapted work made the corners of their lips rise unconsciously.
Although the popularity of the Yu couple was simply due to the ridiculously high face value on the live broadcast thumbnail.
Any fan or passerby who scrolled by this live broadcast room couldn’t help but tap into it.
As traffic surged, Salma and her colleague quickly noticed that the live broadcast seemed to have hit the real-time hot list all at once.
For intern reporters, that was incredibly rare, okay?
As a result, they found themselves getting nervous, while this lady remained calm and composed.
She even talked about many details in the movie she particularly liked, making people nod along unconsciously.
“For example, the scene at the beginning in the orphanage, as a mother, watching many of those moments felt especially heavy. The movie made adaptations based on the original novel…”
Madam Yu Hui had only said half of her thoughts before the barrage was already full of fish-fans nodding furiously.
[Exactly! I also thought the opening scene with orphanage was so heartbreaking! Even among children, there can be bullying of the weak. If Hanzhou wasn’t the protagonist, I can’t imagine what would’ve happened…]
[I even started wondering if things like this happen in real life too. Wuuu. I hope all the little ones can be well taken care of!]
[So she is a true mom fan! Not an elder who helped her children at home grab tickets only to find out they couldn’t change their real-name authentication? Some of the things she mentioned were only in the original novel!]
The more people listened to the interview, the more absorbed they became. Many viewers who had originally come just to watch the fun now looked surprised.
Many fish fans even got excited. Us mom fan suddenly got a goddess leader?
And as the interview’s popularity climbed, someone on star network finally recognized the Yu couple who had toured half of Central Star today.
[The key point is… isn’t this auntie the mysterious big fan who bought out the store and gave away pendants today at Central Star? (QwQ)]
[+1 My friend went to do a part-time job today, and she said it was this lady! She even saw the movie tickets being drawn with her own eyes! Auntie really loves Teacher Fish Soup Noodles, and said she was especially grateful that they were willing to support Teacher Fish Soup Noodles’ work.]
The boiling comments of amazement in the barrage finally caught the attention of Salma and her colleague.
“Oh, we’re seeing a lot of netizens saying that you even bought out the whole store today and gave out merchandise pendants from Teacher Fish Soup Noodles’ novel? Everyone’s saying thank you so much!”
Amidst her surprise, Salma finally had a bit of her internal doubt resolved.
No wonder, it turned out they had accidentally interviewed a well-known figure among the fish fans.
Upon hearing their question, Madam Yu Hui was momentarily taken aback, then laughed cheerfully and admitted it openly the next second.
“Oh that, mainly because the two of us just arrived at Central Star and couldn’t carry that many gifts. Did the little ones who received them like it? If anyone didn’t get one, we can send out more after this interview. Be sure to come and watch the movie, it’s really quite good.”
Madam Yu Hui even waved warmly at the camera.
After all, they were her son’s lovely fish fans. As a mother, she looked at them as if they were her juniors.
[!!!! Wow , Auntie is so generous! What kind of ultimate fish fan benefit is this!]
[Okay okay okay, the real goddess mom fan has finally appeared T.T, does goddess Auntie have a StarBlog account? I need to go follow her right now!]
Not only was the barrage exploding, even Salma at the scene couldn’t help but respond with a flushed face:
“Of course we have to support! I actually tried to get tickets too but couldn’t grab one. And you’ve really gone viral on star network tonight, everyone’s calling you Teacher Fish Soup Noodles’ true mom fan!”
Just as Madam Yu Hui was about to put on her sunglasses, she paused for a second when she heard the term “mom fan”.
Did she really look that much like him? Was it that easy to be recognized?
Even Father Yu Dahai gave reporter Salma a look.
“Then why doesn’t anyone praise me as a true dad fan?”
Yu Dahai, who had been helping carry all sorts of things without complaint, suddenly felt a little left out.
“Uh, this term actually means a fan who acts like a mom. There are other types too, like career fans, girlfriend or boyfriend fans. Dad fans have the same idea!”
Assuming the two elders didn’t understand young people’s fandom slang, Salma explained while handing over a pair of interview gifts from her colleague.
“Anyway, these are little gifts from the interview. Thank you so much for cooperating today.”
It turned out to be a pair of limited edition mermaid blind box palm-sized figurines.
“These are blind boxes we collaborated on with Huanyu. I hope you’ll like them. They’re small, so they should be convenient to carry.”
Salma sincerely expressed her thanks to the Yu couple, who were still quietly grumbling.
Today’s high interview ratings were definitely thanks to their cooperation.
“Thank you, these are really cute, though the fish tail seems to have a small flaw.”
Unexpectedly, while pacifying a jealous Yu Dahai who had misunderstood, Madam Yu Hui took the blind box and casually commented, which made Salma freeze mid-sentence.
“A small flaw? What’s not quite right?”
Prompted by the young reporter, Madam Yu Hui smiled and explained without hesitation:
“The fish scales near the waist should be lighter in color because in the juvenile phase, that ring of scales hasn’t fully developed hardness yet, so they’re especially soft and have a translucent gradient.”
After hearing that, Salma felt a string in her brain faintly tightening.
If the same words had come from someone else, countless netizens on star network would suspect someone was bluffing, pretending to know about mermaids.
You know, the last time someone played “fake mermaid expert,” Teacher Fish Soup Noodles publicly slapped them in the face at the press conference and they ended up deleting their account!
[Everyone, hold on before you start scolding ahhh, does a beautiful goddess auntie like this really need to pull stunts to get attention? QAQ]
Just as netizens were filled with doubt, Madam Yu Hui seemed to notice Salma and her colleague’s disbelief too.
The next second, she straightforwardly pulled out her light brain.
“Because even though this one is already pretty well-made, they’re actually even cuter in the juvenile phase.”
Salma looked at the screen the moment she heard that, and her eyes went wide in shock from the cuteness.
What the heck, this was way too cute!?
Because Madam Yu Hui’s light brain screensaver turned out to be a photo of a tiny little mermaid curled up asleep in a small outfit.
The light golden fish tail really had that brilliant flowing gradient look!
“Isn’t he super cute?”
Sadly, after growing up, he wasn’t as clingy anymore.
While proudly showing off her son, Madam Yu Hui also sighed a little.
I guess it’s true you can’t have everything.
“He really is too cute. But, um, ma’am, our interview is being broadcast live.”
Salma already felt her brain was fried, stammering as she tried to remind Madam Yu Hui.
“Oh? Really? Then did everyone get tempted? Haha, every time I see it I just think he’s so cute. Maybe I’ve got a bit of mom-bias. Sorry about that, moms are always like this.”
Madam Yu Hui finally put her light brain away, smiling as she put on her sunglasses again and waved coolly at Salma in farewell.
So Salma and her colleague stood there holding their gear, dumbfounded as they watched the interviewee leave. Meanwhile, the barrage didn’t calm down at all. In fact, it exploded.
The amount of information was too much to even process.
[Wait, what did I just see? Little Fish! (screaming)]
[Ah? Ah?? Wait, who was that???]
[My God of Time, who exactly did you guys just interview???]
The netizens, who were still immersed in the dazzling baby-bragging combo move, finally realized something incredible.
Goddess, your child… is actually a little fish?
Is this really something that can be said so calmly and naturally?
[It’s really a golden fish tail, damn! Did you two actually interview the real deal?!]
[The most crucial thing is, doesn’t anyone notice that Goddess Mom Fan really looks a bit like Teacher Fish Soup Noodles…?]
[I’m so anxious I’m pacing around my room! I wish I could buy a starship ticket right now and fly there to witness history!]
[So… is this real or not?!]
Meanwhile, Yu Mian, who had been waiting outside for a long time without seeing his parents, finally confirmed that their real names were indeed registered in the ticket audience information and was about to put on a mask and hat to go in and find them.
Even though they were his parents, Yu Mian had grown up with the feeling that if he didn’t keep an eye on them, they could easily cause some kind of unexpected situation.
“There shouldn’t be any trouble. Maybe they got held up inside.”
Huo Ting got out of the car as well.
“Report! I want to go too!”
Huo Yan, still thrilled from watching the movie, tried to run after them with his little legs, but the next second, Qiao Ni caught him.
“You better not add to the chaos. It’s the end of the screening, what if you get lost?”
“Wait a moment… I think… I know what’s happening.”
Just as Yu Mian was about to step out of the car, Secretary Hals looked at the hot searches on his light brain and called out with a strange tone.
Yu Mian: ?
The next second, he saw Secretary Hals raising his light brain, displaying a live broadcast–his own mother smiling as she proudly showed off a picture of a little fish.
[“…I just think he’s so cute. Maybe I’ve got a bit of mom-bias.”]
“Wow! This…this is so cute! Just like the dolls Donna and the others have in our class!”
Huo Yan’s eyes went wide as he squealed in excitement.
“Oh, this is definitely way too cute. I can guarantee this lady is absolutely not a biased mom.”
Even Qiao Ni agreed in an unusually serious tone.
But just as they were making these remarks, their gazes suddenly froze.
Wait a minute… why does this little fish look so much like Young Master Yu Mian in his mermaid form?
Yu Mian, now the center of everyone’s silent stares: …
Help. How did his parents manage to create such a massive headline in such a short time?
And more importantly, he was already so grown up! Why was his childhood black history still being used as his mom’s screen saver?!
[Fish in Crisis.jpg]
“Perhaps we should pick them up as soon as possible. Otherwise, if they get swarmed, they really won’t be able to leave.”
Huo Ting glanced at Yu Mian and chuckled.
“Ahem, given the situation, I think I should be the one to go.”
Secretary Hals held back his laughter and volunteered for the task.
But honestly… that picture was really, really cute!
Meanwhile, “The Vast Immortal Path” movie had unexpectedly gained an unprecedented wave of popularity and traffic due to this news.
It seems that even Teacher Fish Soup Noodles’ parents had come to watch it in person!
How could any Fish Fan miss this movie’s release now?!
Not to mention, that picture of the little mermaid was so cute it melted hearts across the entire universe.
The random interview video featuring Yu Hui and Yu Dahai went viral overnight, with countless viewers flooding the comments and laughing hysterically.
Because, suddenly, people from various star systems in the universe suddenly had the same “uncle and auntie”.
[Auntie, wuuu, I’ve never had an auntie since I was a child! [Tears of grievance]]
[Pfft! The one above! What nonsense are you telling my long-lost uncle and auntie?! T_T]
[I’m dying of laughter! You people claiming them as relatives…be careful, or Teacher Fish Soup Noodles might come after you. But am I the only one who noticed that Uncle and Auntie’s personalities are completely opposite to those of Teacher Fish Soup Noodles?]
[I don’t care! All I know is that Auntie has access to the most exclusive Fish Soup Noodles materials, the little fish is making me cry from cuteness! Huanyu, hurry up and redesign your figurines according to this! You don’t know how to eat even when the food is right in front of you!]
Even though Fish Soup Noodles himself hadn’t responded yet, as more details and evidence surfaced, Yu Hui and Yu Dahai’s true identities as “Mom and Dad Fans” were practically confirmed.
[The most important part is that Auntie kept calling him ‘Xiao Mian’ or something like that?! I went to the official site to check Teacher Fish Soup Noodles’ award information, and most people don’t actually know his real name is Yu Mian!]
[As expected of my auntie, so gentle. Xiao Mian, hehe… Xiao Mian… Can I call him Xiao Mian too?]
[Can you people please act normal?! Don’t scare my uncle and auntie away!]
Even Director Gu Qi and the movie’s production team were notified of this viral incident overnight, and couldn’t help but reach out to Fish Soup Noodles:
“Uh, Teacher Fish Soup Noodles, actually… our marketing budget is still sufficient…”
After all, there was an unspoken rule in the industry–if you collaborated with Fish Soup Noodles, you never had to worry about insufficient exposure.
There will always be various hot searches that you can’t imagine, attracting the attention of the entire universe.
But even Director Gu Qi hadn’t expected that this time, even the author’s parents would get involved!
Now “The Vast Immortal Path” was dominating the hot search list. Shouldn’t some of the marketing budget go toward them?
And don’t even mention that childhood picture of Teacher Fish Soup Noodles, it was pure gold.
“No, they just enjoy chatting with people. It wasn’t intentional.”
The exasperated Yu Mian could only explain.
If it had been someone else striking up a conversation, his parents would have been just as warm and chatty.
Especially when it came to topics about him, they could talk endlessly.
After wrapping up his call with Director Gu Qi, Yu Mian had barely hung up when his father, Yu Dahai, looked at him with a deep sense of crisis and solemnly declared that from now on, this would never happen again.
“Sigh, next time your mom does this, I, your dad will definitely stop her.”
With that arrogant look and sincere gaze, it was truly hard for anyone to actually feel an emotion labeled as anger.
But Yu Mian, whose immunity was extremely strong: …
He had experienced this too many times growing up. This trick was completely useless on him.
Not far away, Qiao Ni and the others were cautiously observing the situation, but no one dared to step forward to intervene.
Even Young Master Huo Ting was standing there pretending not to see anything, who else would dare go over?
“But Brother Yu Mian’s parents are really good-looking.”
As for the little guy Huo Yan, he was simply speaking as a hardcore face-con.
If they attended his parent-teacher meeting, he would definitely become the envy of all the kids in class!
However, this hot search unexpectedly triggered a chain reaction.
Huanyu was scolded so badly that they hurriedly modified the design of the blind box figurine overnight, turning the chubby chibi little tail into a beautiful crystal scale gradient.
The moment it was released, pre-orders exploded.
A small Little Fish blind box figurine personally corrected and certified by Auntie, who could resist buying it!
Especially the hidden version of the golden fish variant, what kind of lucky person would be the first to draw it?
Despite this, when Secretary Hals saw the mountain of express delivery boxes piled up in Huo Ting’s office the next day, he fell into deep thought.
No, was it really necessary to secretly buy so many?
So, clearly, it was just because he really liked the photo Auntie Yu Hui had shown, right…
