Chapter 194 "TOP IDOL" in progress 1.0

When the nanny car drove into the perimeter of the stadium, what came into view was the spectacular sight of various cheering camps dividing the area into different areas.

The giant group flag fluttered in the morning breeze, with life-size standees of the group members neatly arranged under it.

Not far away, various support vehicles lined up in a long queue, including coffee carts, milk tea carts, and dessert carts. You can get them for free by simply following the account and voting for the corresponding group.

However, most of those who were able to wait outside the venue so early were fans of each team. They were all on high alert and guarding their own territory, and would never step into the enemy's sphere of influence to undermine the morale of the army.

Although this put a certain degree of pressure on the program crew's security, forcing them to set up a dedicated passage, the nearby sanitation workers did receive a lot of free breakfast.

"They all look delicious~" Leo's face was almost pressed against the car window, and he wanted to jump out of the car immediately to get one.

Xie Qingyu laughed: "Didn't you just have breakfast?"

"I'm hungry again!" The puppy puffed out his chest righteously.

Are you hungry?!

Xie Qingyu took out two packets of biscuits from her bag like a magic trick and stuffed them into his arms. She raised her eyebrows and said, "I've prepared it a long time ago. Come and eat it."

Leo stared at the dry biscuits in his hand, wanting to say something but stopping himself. How could he make his brother understand that what he called "hunger" was actually spiritual greed?

But in order not to disappoint his brother's kindness and make him sad, he still obediently ate the biscuits.

Xie Qingyu looked at the puppy's bulging cheeks, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he nodded with satisfaction.

Little guy, how could I not know you?

After entering the venue through the crowds of fans, the members went straight to the lounge to prepare for their makeup.

After all, it is called the "Idol Sports Games". Although competitive spirit is indispensable, we can't let idols appear in front of the camera with dark circles and acne without makeup.

We are here to record a show, not to bring bad luck to ourselves, so image management is naturally essential.

"The first event will be our puppy's 100-meter sprint. Let's try to get off to a good start!"

Wei Liangchen, who was being held down on the head by the makeup artist and could not play with his phone, was bored and started to make small talk.

Unfortunately, Leo was concentrating on dealing with the last few remnants in the biscuit bag. He said "hmm" without even looking up and didn't receive the chat signal at all.

Wei Liangchen had no choice but to change his target. He caught a glimpse of Xie Qingyu drawing on a tablet and asked curiously, "Benefactor, what are you busy with?"

"Designing the cover." Xie Qingyu answered without stopping his hands.

Now not only Wei Liangchen, but other members also became interested.

Except for the three who were doing makeup, the remaining three gathered over at the same time.

“Day…and…Night?”

Leo unconsciously read out the colorful art words on the tablet, then said in surprise: "Brother, this song is going to be released? When?"

After the game, Xie Qingyu rarely mentioned this matter, so he didn't react at first.

However, even if they knew that he was going to release a song, they probably wouldn't have thought that Xie Qingyu could design the song cover himself.

"Yeah, with Monsoon. It should be coming soon."

Xie Qingyu finished coloring the last area and resized the picture back to its original size.

When the three of them saw the full picture, there was a flash of amazement in their eyes. The entire cover used a minimalist Morandi color background, and the main body was an interesting small pattern drawn by Xie Qingyu himself. Those clever visual anchor points and the layered artistic words complemented each other.

There are clearly not too many complicated elements, but it presents a unique sense of layering, just like the feeling Xie Qingyu gives people.

"I didn't expect Qingyu to have this hidden skill?!"

Ding Zai was the first to click his tongue and shake his head exaggeratedly.

Who would have thought? Being able to write songs is impressive enough, but designing your own cover is incredibly budget-friendly!

Xie Qingyu chuckled and shook his head: "It's just the level of a child's graffiti."

This is not modesty. His teammates' amazing reactions are largely due to their low expectations of him.

If it were really taken to the professional design market, such works would definitely not be good enough.

Moreover, this draft must first be reviewed by the company's distribution department, and will eventually be available as A and B versions for fans to choose from together with the professional designer's version.

"If this is a child's graffiti, then this child must be a child prodigy, right?"

Gu Qi raised his eyebrows and looked at the clean and neat lines on the tablet.

Although I can't stand Mou Yu acting so arrogantly in front of his teammates, I still have to praise him.

Interestingly, Xie Qingyu is always very confident in some of his niche skills, but when it comes to his major - stage, music and other fields, he is overly humble.

"Yes, brother, it looks super good, and fans will definitely like it!" Leo agreed with shining eyes.

At least he loved it very much!

Xie Qingyu was stunned when he heard this, and then burst out laughing.

I have to sigh that his teammates' expectations of him are terribly low.

If you stay in this kind of atmosphere for a long time, it is easy to misjudge your own strength. If one day you show off your half-baked abilities in front of outsiders, that would be a real social disaster.

He was about to change the subject, but Wei Liangchen was already stamping his feet anxiously: "What does it look like? Let me see it too!" His neck was almost broken!

Bai Lang and You Jinzhao on the side nodded silently in agreement, but unfortunately they were also held down on the head by the makeup artist and could not move, so they could only worry.

After the three of them had admired the cover design, they naturally started praising it in various ways.

Xie Qingyu looked at the three makeup artists who were trying to suppress their laughter with their heads down, and her ears turned slightly red. If she had known this would happen, she should have moved to another place to finish the work.

It was almost eight o'clock when everyone finished their makeup, and there was only about an hour left before the official live broadcast at nine o'clock.

"Check your belongings first, and don't go back and forth to the lounge too frequently." Gu Qi reminded.

The program team set up a viewing area at the edge of the stadium, and since the entire event was broadcast live, how many pairs of eyes were staring at these dozens of people.

It’s okay to go to the toilet, but not too frequently. It’s okay to get things, but if you do it too often it will inevitably arouse suspicion.

Who knows whether you are really going to do serious work or have a private meeting?

This type of program is already quite sensitive to this topic, and with so many popular idols gathered together, if one house collapses, two houses will collapse at once.

By then, the powerful netizens will dig out the frequency of your trips, and then forcibly link you with another idol in the same situation. You won’t be able to explain yourself even if you talk a lot.

Even if you ask your teammates to testify, you might end up accusing them of being a "lookout."

After confirming that everything was correct, everyone went to the competition venue together.

Although they met members of other groups along the way, in front of the camera, especially between the male and female groups, everyone tacitly stopped at polite greetings, and the intention to avoid suspicion was self-evident.

Only Wei Liangchen was an exception.

I don't know when he made so many "life-long brothers". Along the way, he either bumped shoulders with people, high-fived them, or clapped their arms.

When Wei Liangchen high-fived the members of AUR5N again, Ding Zai finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

"No, where do you get so many 'life and death friends'?"

We just met at the rehearsal the day before yesterday, and at the opening ceremony yesterday, and now we’re calling each other brothers?

The point is that everyone has been inseparable these past two days, so where does this guy find the time to socialize?

What's even more outrageous is that yesterday they couldn't even pronounce NEONEX's Fang Weilan's name properly, but today they are arm in arm.

What kind of weird social skill is this?

Wei Liangchen glanced at Xie Qingyu casually, then spread his hands proudly towards Ding Zai: "It's so easy for handsome people to make friends~ You, you can't envy me~"

After saying this, he patted Ding Zai's shoulder in a serious tone, then turned around and left.

"No, I'm being taught a lesson." Ding pointed at Wei Liangchen's receding back, his voice trembling.

We are all energetic young men. Who would be willing to admit that he is inferior to others in appearance?

“Maybe ^ω^”

“Probably~(￣▽￣～)~”

"Maybe."

“It seems… ()”

Every teammate who passed by patted Ding on the shoulder tacitly, and everything was said without words.

Even Leo followed suit and clapped his hands.

When it was Xie Qingyu's turn, he suppressed his laughter and made a fist in the air: "Oh, take it easy, it's okay~"

Although it is indeed embarrassing to be dragged down by Wei Liangchen, but in life, one must always learn to face reality.

Ding Zai turned to the camera and started to act out: "Oh, they are not like this usually~ Dear fans, please don't blame them, I really... It's okay~"

The exaggerated performance made the cameraman dig his toes into the ground.

Just when the eldest brother thought the torture was over, Ding made a gorgeous turn and made a heart shape with his hands to the camera, leaving him petrified on the spot, while he leisurely chased after his teammates.

When MYST7 arrived at the viewing area of ​​the stadium, many groups were already seated in the designated area.

The fan section in the stands was almost full, and every time a group entered the arena, there would be a thunderous cheer.

While they are competing, they are also "competing".

No sooner had they stepped onto the field than deafening cheers swept over them:

"Xie Qingyu! Gu Yan! Bai Lang! Wei Liangchen! Leo! You Jinzhao! Ding Zai! MYST7 go go go! Go for it!!!"

Xie Qingyu smiled and waved towards the source of the sound.

It seems that not only them, but also the fans have grown a lot. They obviously only want to call out the names of their own idols, but in order to save face for their own fans, they have to hold their noses and call out all the members.

The effect of this false prosperity support is not inferior to that of other groups with a large number of fans.

As for whether he works extra hard when calling his own name and keeps quiet when calling others, only God knows.

Xie Qingyu pretended not to notice that his name was obviously louder than others.

Alas, this is what adult decency is all about.

After taking their seats in the cushioned area with team nametags, the members began to relax.

Although the live broadcast has not yet started, the sounds of shutter clicks have already been heard in the stands.

Although the program team explicitly prohibits flash photography, they do not restrict ordinary filming equipment.

Wei Liangchen and Ding Zai were like two happy Huskies. After hanging out with their teammates, they went to socialize in other boy group areas. Before the live broadcast started, the two of them started battling.

As the various groups arrived one after another, Leo and other members of the men's team participating in the 100m preliminaries, as well as the women's team members participating in the 50m preliminaries were called by the staff to make pre-race preparations.

They need to listen to the precautions and receive a small vest with the track number printed on it.

The boy group is blue and the girl group is pink. It's tacky, but easy to tell them apart.

"Yubao? What are you looking at~"
