Since participating in the Hong Kong version of "Uncle's Love" and winning MAMA Best Asian Newcomer, Lo Hanting, a popular member of the Hong Kong first day group MIRROR, shortened the gap between him and his teammate Jiang Tao, and later caught up in many fields, and finally defeated Jiang Tao twice in a row to win the grand prize in January and April 2023, officially confirming Hong Kong's strongest top status.
But surprisingly, Lu Hanting's birthday support scene is far inferior to the "defeated general" Jiang Tao.
The International Support Association responds to two activities.
One is a charity pop-up shop held at Langham Place on Portland Street in Mong Kok, which features posters of Lo Hanting, the costumes he wore, and the awards he has won so far for fans to check in.
As for the goods, they include a hand lamp worth 368 yuan each, a picture book worth 280 yuan each, a small fan worth 50 yuan a piece, a gacha set meal worth 120-340 yuan, a birthday party commemorative towel, a charger, a mobile phone lanyard, etc., and the proceeds from the sale will be donated to charity after removing reasonable necessary expenses.
There is also a free ride on the Star Ferry from Tsim Sha Tsui to Central, and there are Lu Hanting's birthday-themed promotional materials at the pier and on the ship. Of course, select Ferris wheels, carousels, and ice cream on the Central Waterfront are also free.
Little Ciants' response also has two support activities.
One is to rent a yacht for a limited cruise in Victoria Harbour, the decorations on board are all designed by the gods (fan nicknames), the cruise is from 12 am to 8 pm, citizens and gods can chase and take photos on the shore.
The other is to carry out an activity at an underground shop ice cream shop in Tsim Sha Tsui, from 12 am to 8 pm on the same day, the content is to invite citizens to eat ice cream, but if they want to eat, they must first queue up to get a visa number.
The above is the main support activities on Lu Hanting's birthday, to be honest, the scale and cost are not large, and Jiang Tao's birthday celebration advertisements, various celebrations, and Jiang Tao Bay scenes in a prosperous area for a month are simply incomparable. According to Hong Kong media statistics, the number of fans on Lu Hanting's birthday was about thousands, and Jiang Tao was at least 20,000 to 30,000 at that time, which is a far difference. The following is the scene picture of Lu Hanting in the support event:
From the above scenes, we can conclude that Lu Hanting's fans have far less financial resources and mobilization ability than Jiang Tao's fans, although he has more social media followers and the company's support far exceeds that of the other party. And this also makes the editor question: Is Lu Hanting really the hottest top in Hong Kong? Can those one or two million disciples be turned into a commercial boost? Why did Jiang Tao repeatedly lose to him in the popularity jackpot?
Of course, ViuTV, MakerViile, and the culture of big countries attach great importance to Lu Hanting for everyone to see, and his resources are far better than Jiang Tao, which is undeniable.
