Checking on popularity

Continuing form Xing Guang Bang's 8 hours 10 minutes marathon signing event the day before, senior Fahrenheit also showed superb tolerance yesterday.

But the Fahrenheit don't dare to relax, from 2pm in the afternoon till 10pm at night, the 8 hour long event, they only stop for a simple rest and drink.

And Wu Zun is just like a iron man, getting heat stroke 2 days ago at Yi Lan, the whole back and neck is all full of the scars from "Gua Sha", and had to get up 5am in the morning yesterday to shoot for commercial with the other 3 members, and rush to the signing event after that. Wu Zun who was very scared of heat perspire as if it was raining, but his outfit was actually long sleeves shirt, he rolled up his sleeves but he was still perspiring like mad. Thus he had to put in tissue paper on his forehead, the unstoppable sweat, he could only smile bitterly, "No choice, the overall style ma."

Compared to Wu Zun, Jiro who was wearing a singlet seems to be much more cooler, but his injured right hand (due to a dance practice 3 months ago), have to spray medicated oil while signing. He still simplified his signature to speed up the pace. As this is Fahrenheit's official gathering since a long time ago, there are fans queuing up 2 days ago to book the place.

Principle, isolate fans; being bombarded by complains of not sincere enough

Fahrenheit World Paradise signing event yesterday had four policies, No hand-shaking, no photo-taking, no accepting of presents, no signing of fans’ name, the strict rules doesnt give fans and their idols any personal contact, fans from overseas could not help but reveal their unhappiness, Wang Dong Cheng (Jiro) yesterday also said embarrassedly, Really feel apologetic towards them.

Fahrenheit finally fixed a time for autograph session one month ago, although all Asia fans can all attend, but there was only one session. Many fans from overseas were afraid to miss this chance, thus they reached the venue 2 days ago to queue up, some even brought their luggage along straight from the airport, gazing at their idols yesterday in the hot sun, without a single word of complain.

Fans supported passionately, but the activity had many restrictions, no photo taking when on stage, only signing and no hand shaking, no accepting of gifts, only cards, reject signing of fans names, even when the fans who had waited for so long wanted to chat with Fahrenheit, were also stopped by the work crew.
