September 29 Day Countdown (10/29): 20180510 Livestream Interview with QQMusic’s 《乐见大牌》
Under the question “Who do you want to thank most?” Zhou Shen wrote Hu Minyan (Voice of China director who scouted him for three months), Na Ying, Gao-laoshi (who funded and produced his first album), Yin Yue (lyricist and producer of his first album), Qian Lei (composer of his first album), and the most important, Shengmi. Interviewer asks if he remembers when his first Shengmi came about.
Zhou Shen: (12:15) The first Shengmi… probably it was earlier [before my debut] when I was still singing online, they [fans] called themselves Puddings (布丁, based off his online name 卡布, or “Kabu”).
How the name Shengmi came about is quite funny actually—at first they thought of the name 深海鱼 (“shenhaiyu”, meaning deep-sea fish), and I said, “Oh! That sounds really good!” But then after a day, they left comments on weibo saying they changed their mind about shenhaiyu—they searched up deep sea fish on Baidu and found that all the pictures there were so ugly. (*laughs*) They had to consider their beauty value.
So the next name they thought of was 深井冰 (“shenjingbing,” referring to a well so deep the water in it has frozen, but also a homophone of 神经病, meaning neurotic). I said, “Oh! That sounds really good too!” (14:35) But then after a day, they said they changed their mind again—they said one day when they inevitably get into an argument with fans of another person, they [the fans of the other person] are going to write them all off as neurotic and they’ll be like “eh?” and have no way to argue against that. (Interviewer: They really thought this through *laughs*)
So finally they changed their name to 生米 (“shengmi”, meaning uncooked rice), and I thought this was really good too, because I have this habit where, before I sing, I have to eat rice or I won’t have any energy to sing. I think it’s incredibly fitting, since they’re the ones who continue to bolster me to be able to sing.
(17:00) Interviewer: Under “say one sentence to your fans,” you wrote- *points*
Zhou Shen: “Thank you for the sense of security I can feel you give me.” Because- [...] when you give someone who really lacks a sense of security—who really needs a sense of security—that sense of security, that feeling of warmth, there’s no words that can describe it. You feel like tearing up.
Interviewer: I remember at a previous interview, you said that sometimes you feel pretty unconfident.
ZS: Oh not just sometimes, all the time. (Interviewer: Do you feel having shengmi helps with that a bit?) They help a lot! Not only that, but they always—they’ll able to, for example- (*laughs*) If there’s 100 people at a support rally, they can make it sound like there’s 10,000 people. [At an event], you can clearly see the audience is full of [LED support banners for another celebrity], but then when they announce “Next, please welcome Zhou Shen,” I hear *literal ear-piercing shout* “ZHOU SHEN!!!!!” I feel like, wow. (*bursts into laughter*) It’s amazing, our shengmi—one is the equivalent of ten people. (*laughs*)

Another random prompt: ZZS tenderly feeding a distressed Wen Kexing food/drink/medicine after one of his headaches/emotional meltdowns.
A/N: this one was less ‘feeding’, more like ‘baiting your soulmate to eat food with dessert’
—
Time slips through his fingers like cool mountain water in the beginning of Spring. Wen Kexing slips between fitful sleep and sluggish wakefulness. No one comes to him in these moments and he cannot help but thank whatever deity still listening in to his nonexistent prayers for these small mercies.
By the time he wakes without the sense of wading through molasses, the specks of dust that dances through the shafts of golden early evening light were like fireflies in a field.
Wen Kexing squeezes his eyes shut for a beat, before exhaling slowly and pushing through the creeping sense of unease to sit up.
“You’re awake.”
He snaps his gaze to the corner of the room just to see his Ah Xu hurrying to his side. The warmth of his hand settles in gentle soothing on his cheeks, over his brow, on his neck as brown eyes catalogue him over.
“Are you hungry? I could fetch you something to eat. Porridge? We have some—“
“You’re not going to ask?” Wen Kexing interrupts, pulling back. “You’re not curious?”
Ah Xu’s smile is soft and fond. He reaches out to stroke his fingers through his hair. “There are some secrets that will stay with you, just as there are for me. When and if you are ready to share them with me, I’m here. I’ll always be here.”
The small offer held the world within them and Wen Kexing has to duck his head, shifting his face away from Ah Xu.
“I’ll fetch you the porridge,” Ah Xu says, pulling away with a quick squeeze of his shoulder. “If you finish it, I’ll bring you the bean pudding.”
Wen Kexing jerks up in attention. “The one from the shop next to the florist?”
Zhou Zishu smiles, slipping out of the room before Wen Kexing can even have a moment of outrage at his baiting.
