At 6 o’clock in the morning on March 26, Gaga and her husband got up one after another, and after a simple dressing and care, they boarded the high-speed train from Zhengzhou, Henan to Beijing West Railway Station. At about 1 pm, they took a taxi from Beijing West Railway Station to Hebei Dachang Film and Television Base, and went to an appointment that had been waiting for 300 days.
More than a hundred people arrived at Dachang Film and Television Base together with Gaga. They are fans of the idol girl group THE9. However, only a few fans were able to sit there to witness THE9’s first concert on the 300th day of the group.

For this concert, Gaga and other fans have been looking forward to it for a long time; THE9 has also rehearsed many times, and no one understands the special significance of the concert to them better than idol. Fans and idols each hold different consensuses, but both of these consensuses point to the point of “hoping each other to become better”.

The hair stylist handled the hair, the makeup artist arranged the makeup, the costume artist prepared the dress… …They needed full-time staff to take care of the costumes they needed. After removing some of the makeup on the stage, they began to pack their things and go back to the hotel to rest.
Before they arrived at the hotel, hundreds of fans had gathered outside the lobby on the first floor. It rained from morning to late at night, and it was cold outside, but it couldn’t stop the fans’ enthusiasm. “The area outside the hotel sheltering from the rain is already full of people.” Gaga said, she is a “Ke Song” (Lu Ke burning powder
