A regular university student and fan site manager, Yuan Xiao, transmigrated into an entertainment industry novel, becoming a villainous cannon fodder female supporting character in a survival show....
51 Micro Group
Just as fans were counting the days for the release of Stary's first album, the Stary boy band quietly uploaded a new series of micro-variety videos on their official account on the short video platform.
《Star Tracks: Daily Flash EP.1》
After Yu Le experienced the behind-the-scenes recording of the entire season of "I Have Never Seen You", he was no longer surprised by being grabbed by the PD on the way to work and having his microphone taken away, so he just let it go.
He pointed outside the camera helplessly: "Teacher Gu, how come you have become bad?"
A lazy and pleasant male voice came from the back, "It's none of my business. They asked me to make up a reason to call you out alone. If they trick you later, remember to hold the perpetrator accountable."
The PD handed over a task card at the right time, and Yu Le read it to the camera skillfully, but his voice became more and more out of tune as he read: "Complete the secret task of interacting with everyone in the group without being discovered???"
The screen coded the specific tasks on the task card, asking the audience to guess together with the other four people.
"... Let's not talk about the fact that the mission reward is hidden in the company and we have to find it ourselves. Come on, sister, tell me, I have a microphone, who can't tell that I have a mission?" Yu Xiaole had a calm collapse under the camera, "Do you know who my eldest brother is? Do you know that my eldest brother scored more than 600 points in the college entrance examination?"
"This will test your acting skills." The director smiled and stroked her hair. She was a master of child psychology. "We asked Mr. Yuan who had the best acting skills in your group. Mr. Yuan said it was you. That's why we gave you this difficult task of winning rewards for the brothers."
"You are the only one with a microphone. They don't. It's okay. Just go ahead."
Yu Le: Try your best to control the corners of your mouth from rising too obviously.
The puppy pouted and nodded modestly: "Okay, then I'll try."
The camera in the practice room that had not been dismantled after the recording of "Ou Wei" was turned on again, but now this room is Stary's own fixed practice room.
The number of users was suddenly reduced to five, and the room suddenly seemed much more spacious.
When Yu Le returned to the room, he felt a little sneaky, but the other four people didn't pay any attention to him. Only Jin Zeyu glanced over and didn't doubt at all, "You're back?"
Yu Le breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ran to his position in the formation. Yan Fan clapped his hands twice, "Everyone is here. Let's continue with the four eight-beat positions from yesterday. Chenchen, you over there. Brother Jin, come forward a little. Yes, we are at an angle in this section. Almost everyone has half a shoulder exposed."
"Okay, boss, play some music."
The camera stopped abruptly here, and a piece of cursive words "Secret Here" floated by, attracting the anger of the barrage:
【Ahhhh, it’s an album, why don’t you let me see it?】
[Already rehearsing the dance means it has been recorded, right? It will be online soon, right? I will definitely be able to hear it soon, right?]
[Yuan Xin, you better release the full album online tomorrow]
[Are you trying to seduce me by releasing just a little bit of it? Okay, Yuanxin, you succeeded.]
[I knew that the purpose of this micro-comprehensive is not simple! ]
Yuan Xiao: So how can we not take this opportunity to warm up a bit, right?
After an hour and a half, it's time to take a break.
Less than a second after the camera switched, all five people were soaked with sweat.
Su Chen was drinking water, Jin Zeyu was sitting behind the electronic piano with headphones on, singing a song, Yan Fan and Pei Zijin were out, there were only three people in the room, a godsend opportunity. Yu Le sat cross-legged on the floor, his eyes drifting from his second brother to his fourth brother, and he made up his mind to get close to Su Chen first.
"Chen, you said before that your home is near the zoo, right?"
"What's the matter?" Su Chen bit the straw of his water cup and looked at him, "It was here when I was a kid, but now it's not there anymore. Do you want to go play?"
"Sure." He turned to Jin Zeyu and said, "Brother, Lele wants to go to my house, do you want to go? Ask for leave from Sister Xiaoxiao in a few days and we can go together?"
Yu Le quickly stopped his brother and said, "No, no, I want to ask you, have you ever been to an aquarium?"
Su Chen felt that he could no longer keep up with his brother's unconventional thinking, so he turned to Jin Zeyu for help. However, Brother Jin had already taken off his headphones and was watching the two of them quarreling. He shrugged his shoulders to indicate that he was unable to help.
"I have been there, when I was a kid. What happened?"
"Then do you know what a starfish calls?"
Su Chen looked at him and suddenly had a bad feeling, but his mouth spoke before his brain: "What are you calling?"
"SpongeBob, let's go catch jellyfish~"
Su Chen: “…”
I want to leave, really.
Yu Le was almost embarrassed to death, and his toes were about to break Yuan Xin's practice room, but in order to succeed in the mission, he had to shamelessly beg his brother: "Can you also learn how to talk like SpongeBob?"
Su Chen: “……………………Why?”
"Please, brother."
Although Su Chen is young, he is strong and has a relatively mature personality. He has always been a steady and introverted person who doesn't show off easily in the show and in daily life. When Yu Le got this task, he was really worried about how to make Su Chen abstract.
In the end, he could only cue him. His big eyes looked pitiful. Su Chen was helpless under his gaze. He prepared himself mentally for a long time before pinching his throat and saying, "Hallo Patrick——"
Yan Fan, who happened to be entering the room, got stuck in the door.
"Ha!" Jin Zeyu burst into laughter on the spot. Pei Zijin and Yan Fan followed closely behind him and didn't catch up with the whole thing. They asked from behind: "What happened?"
Yan Fan had a look of disbelief on his face, as if saying, "I was only out for five minutes, why did my brother go crazy?"
Su Chen covered his face and fell on Yu Le, looking like he was dead. Yu Le, as the initiator of destroying his fourth brother's face, looked at the sky with complicated expression. Jin Zeyu couldn't laugh anymore and rolled on the ground for a long time without getting up.
Yan Fan: ...three of them went crazy.
The tasks were revealed one by one. During the breaks in rehearsal, Yu Le secretly used his gestures to make a heart shape with Brother Fan, asked Brother Zeyu to sign his lyrics book, begged the captain to sing "Twenty-Six Years Old Grass and Trees" a cappella and waved to interact with him. He jumped around with extreme joy. Although the other brothers wondered why their younger brother suddenly went crazy today, in the end they did not suspect that he had any secret mission.
He lost some of his face, but that doesn't matter, he didn't have a lot of it to begin with, but his acting skills were greatly proven.
While no one was paying attention, Yu Le secretly showed off to the hidden camera. The kid thought he was very handsome and expressed his confidence silently with his lips.
"I didn't even notice that this task was too easy!"
It was not until the end of the whole day that the director team came to the practice room to reveal the recording of today's micro-game. The four people suddenly realized it and swayed around with their arms around the proud Yu Le.
"I wonder why you are acting so weird today."
"You've really become quite capable of fooling even your brother."
The PD spoke in the voiceover: "So Yu Le also won a mysterious gift for all Stary members. The gift redemption card is hidden in Yuan Xin's company building. You have one hour to find it. If you find it, you will get it."
After being fooled for a whole day, the gift must not be wasted. Pei Zijin asked: "Is it this floor or the whole building?"
"It's the idol department and the responsibility department, levels 8-16."
"That's too big." Yan Fan complained, "It's obvious that this is not a sincere gift for us."
"Then let's split up and look for it separately. It's such a big place, so we can tell the group if we have any news." Captain Xiao Pei suggested. The company is too big, and if they search together, it will take a long time to find it.
The camera followed several people up and down, and almost turned Yuanxin around, but no so-called redemption card was found. Yan Fan asked the director behind the camera three times, "Is there really a redemption card?"
“What does the redemption card look like?”
"You guys didn't let it go?"
It was not until forty-five minutes later when the five of them returned to the practice room that they all had empty hands. When they asked the directors, they didn't say anything, but just smiled evilly.
Jin Zeyu looked at them and suddenly had a bad feeling: "You didn't leave the card in Sister Xiaoxiao's office?"
The four people nearby suddenly raised their heads and looked at the director team with accusatory eyes. Indeed, they had searched everywhere except Sister Xiaoxiao's CEO office.
Yu Le broke down for the second time today: "How could this happen?!"
There was nothing he could do but comfort himself that Yuan Xiao must have known about this and agreed to it. They made a quick decision, got the card and left in one minute.
When the five of them approached Yuan Xiao's office, they even slowed down their footsteps.
Pei Zijin didn't seem to want to come here and face Yuan Xiao, but he still showed his responsibility as the captain and mustered up the courage to knock on the door.
The door was ajar and opened when touched. The room was silent and dark, with no one in the room and no lights on.
Pei Zijin breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Yu Le and said, "No one."
A group of people filed in. Yu Le concentrated on looking at the bookshelves in the room, places where cards might be hidden. He didn't notice the little movements of others when he wasn't paying attention. Just when he was about to turn around and say that there was nothing on the bookshelf, he was suddenly confronted with the birthday cake that his four brothers brought out from behind Yuan Xiao's desk.
"you……"
Jin Zeyu held the cake, Pei Zijin lit the candles a little hurriedly, Su Chen sang the birthday song, and Yan Fan raised his hand and put the birthday hat on Yu Le's head.
October 29th was Yu Le’s 17th birthday.
"Happy birthday, Yu Le, make a wish quickly."
The camera also starts to go back at this time. It is actually the brothers who received the task earlier than Yu Le. They racked their brains to think of where to hide the cake so as to give Yu Le a surprise in the most unexpected way. Finally, they went to Yuan Xiao's office and asked her to leave work early and leave the office to them.
Yuan Xiao: ...You kids.
"You can put the cake behind the desk, under my chair." Yuan Xiao blended in smoothly in a second and even gave an idea, "I'll turn off the lights at night, and you can bring out the cake as soon as he walks in."
They also understood Yu Le's secret mission and acted it out in return with better acting skills. They cooperated with each other tacitly. As long as their younger brother didn't notice, they would get in front of the camera, make faces, and say happy birthday silently.
Occasionally, there are also a few people complaining:
"Who would understand? I was really worried that when the show was broadcast, people would think that Stary had gone crazy just a few days after being formed."
"It's so obvious that my brother is about to burst out laughing."
"…The cue is too hard, Lele, but I really want to ask the director team who came up with the idea of SpongeBob or Patrick?"
There are also shots of them picking the cake in advance, hiding the cake, and the final treasure hunt. The four of them didn't really look for any mysterious gifts. After a symbolic stroll, they all ran to the director's room. I pray that Yu Le is not too smart and thinks of going directly to Yuan Xiao's office.
There was even a shot of Yan Fan performing in front of the camera and then running towards the director's room without looking back.
There were four gifts along with the cake. There were indeed mysterious gifts today, but they were all for Yu Le. The captain gave a limited edition co-branded IP water cup, Jin Zeyu directly hung the latest model of high-simulation sound quality headphones around Yu Le's neck, Yan Fan gave a niche brand of perfume, and Su Chen gave a new game console. They were all selected according to Yu Le's preferences.
Yu Le, who cried her eyes out while hugging her teammates that day, only saw the whole process of the brothers preparing the surprise after the micro-variety show was broadcast, and she was moved to tears.
By the way, I also posted a crying emoji on my Weibo, saying: I am very touched, but also very stupid. It is a very memorable birthday, but I have become autistic.
The official Weibo account of Stary boy band reposted the message and kindly reminded fans, "Please keep some face when you are older, you can wish birthdays louder, and please laugh secretly behind Yu Le's back."
