Xie Qingyu was originally the leader of the top idol boy group NOVA-X, but on his way to the final stop of a global tour with his members, he was involved in a multi-car pile-up on an elevated high...
Chapter 233: Check-in, Field Trip
After purchasing affordable ingredients, it was almost noon.
Xie Qingyu and his teammates were carrying bags and preparing to return to the hotel to make lunch.
Why not just have a meal outside?
Of course, we have to save as much as possible. If seven people go out to eat, I'm afraid the remaining funds will be spent completely.
In comparison, although cooking in a hotel is simpler, at least you can be sure to have enough rice to fill your stomach.
They specially purchased a large bag of rice weighing dozens of kilograms.
The scout who had not given up was originally following Xie Qingyu and Leo from a distance. When he saw them join the main group, he noticed the cameras set up around them, the onlookers and fans, and then he realized that they were recording a program and that the two were not ordinary amateurs.
Oh, I really thought it was a blessing from heaven, the kind that two things at once could equal half a year's performance.
In the end, the scout could only take a photo in disappointment and quietly disappeared into the crowd.
When we walked back to the hotel, the time showed that it was already past twelve o'clock.
We only ate a few kimchi dumplings in the morning, and tried two or three chicken feet and rice cakes while shopping. We were all young men, and we were already starving at this time.
Everyone worked together to prepare some food and make something to fill their stomachs, but none of them were very good at cooking. With so many people busying around in the kitchen, the result was predictable. The more they helped, the more trouble they made!
The originally simple meal was not served until two o'clock in the afternoon.
The members were so hungry that they had lost their temper, but the rice they were served in the end was still undercooked.
When asked who cooked the meal, everyone raised their hands. No one was spared. Everyone had contributed to the cooking. There was no way to settle the score.
The production team achieved the variety show effect they wanted, leaving only these idols who couldn't eat in the living room, chewing half-cooked rice and eating blind box dishes - any flavor could appear, and what you eat depends entirely on luck.
Xie Qingyu was also really hungry. He put a mouthful of rice into his mouth and swallowed it with difficulty. Then he put down his chopsticks and suggested tactfully:
"How about...we just have noodles tonight?"
This meal was so unpleasant that he had made up his mind firmly to go back and sign up for the chef class. He signed up all six teammates and let them learn it. As the saying goes, there is no skill that cannot be learned, only a teacher who cannot teach well.
Even if it makes your teammates suffer, you can’t make yourself suffer!!!
He! Xie Qingyu! One day, he'll be able to eat the free food cooked by his teammates!
This kind of half-cooked rice should be fed to puppies! Garlic bird, garlic bird, the puppy is innocent too, just feed it to the pigs!
After this tasteless lunch, the seven of them lined up and collapsed on the sofa, holding their stomachs. Xie Qingyu was no exception.
Their digestive systems will probably suffer in the next few days.
Gu Qie, on the other hand, threw the responsibility of announcing the afternoon schedule to Xie Qingyu on the grounds that "Wei Liangchen made me so angry that I had a stomachache this morning."
Don’t ask! If you ask, it means he doesn’t trust others with it!
Xie Qingyu had no doubt that as long as he agreed to this excuse, he could do the same thing in the next few days.
But who can blame this jade for being so beautiful and kindhearted? It’s okay to help a teammate who has fallen occasionally, but I won’t allow you to do that in the future~ ˙˙
Xie Qingyu took out his mobile phone and opened the itinerary for the next few days that everyone had discussed last night and that was sorted out by Gu Yan and sent to the group.
It took a total of four days to queue up. The visa production team had applied in advance. If everything went well, they would be able to rush to the next stop on the morning of the fifth day.
What if things don't go well? We'll talk about it later.
Now it’s a matter of taking things one step at a time. If you can survive, you live; if you can’t, you die. It’s such a simple truth.
"There are two tasks this afternoon," Xie Qingyu cleared his throat, "one is to check in at famous scenic spots, and the other is a field trip."
The schedule states that there will be a check-in at a graffiti wall on an internet-famous street this afternoon, and the other one is actually paving the way for subsequent song promotions.
After all, it is a different country, so I must go offline to investigate the popular performance forms and the flow of people there.
It is necessary to know in advance the popular local performance forms and the preferences of passers-by.
Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.
As an idol, no matter what position you sit in, the input should be far greater than the output.
The most taboo thing in this industry is to work in isolation. Only by constantly absorbing fresh nutrients can we continue to produce high-quality performances.
Otherwise, you will be tired and your fans will be tired too.
"Let's go~"
Xie Qingyu took out a small toy flag from somewhere and waved it like a tour guide.
He signaled everyone to follow Director Xie and they would definitely not get lost!
The first place we went to was the tourist attraction. This was a serious check-in task stipulated by the production team and could not be delayed or postponed.
So even though Xie Qingyu and his teammates were more interested in the field trip, they had no choice but to do as the production team wished and contribute more of the materials they wanted, so as to avoid them going crazy and causing trouble for them behind their backs.
Just as the few of them were strolling around, the country had already received the latest news about their overseas trip.
Hot post on a well-known forum:
Hilarious! While everyone's still obsessed with the album's storyline, the band members are actually doing this abroad! (High-definition Reuters included)
First off, apologies for the clickbait title! But I couldn't resist! Bur Company, what about you? Rotten Grapes Planning, packing them up and sending them abroad on the first day of their debut album release? Even pigs have brains, don't you? Shouldn't we be focusing on promoting the album now? What the hell are you doing?
(P.S. Non-fans please don’t disturb me. I’m a resentful woman in the cold palace who stayed up all night after listening to the album. I’m talking nonsense. Friends, please bear with me if you can. If you can’t, please get out~)
1L: From the title to the comments, it seems the author's mental state is very beautiful [dog head]
2L: It is said that they went to film a group variety show, but they were packed and sent abroad at such an important time as New Year's Eve. It is hard for Sister Li to understand.
3L: Is it really just a group variety show? It doesn't look like it. Are they thinking of venturing into the international market right after achieving some success in China?
4L: emmm…if it’s true, then I can only wish them success, because it’s hard to comment!
5L: They haven't even established a solid foundation in China yet and they're already thinking about going abroad. What kind of confusing operation is this? I really like their albums, rotten grapes, please stop making trouble!
6L: Don’t panic, friends. This is officially certified as a travel and adventure group variety show. The focus is still on China, so it won’t go astray. Just enjoy it with peace of mind~
7L: Yes, at present, Reuters is just eating and drinking. Don’t speculate about things that are not confirmed. It is better to repeat the "Seventh Night" of the God Group several times. It is said that you will have an epiphany after listening to it for the 70th time. I don’t know if it is true or not, hahaha
8L: Latest Reuters! We've already visited xx internet celebrity graffiti wall!
9L: Ahhh I've been there!!! Rounding it off means Xie Qingyu and I traveled to Coria together hehehe
10L: The sister above is still too conservative. I have already been favored by seven members of the God Group in turn. Did I say anything? [Elegantly blowing smoke rings]
11L: I didn't expect the group to be so popular in Kauria? They're surrounded by people everywhere, and everyone is shouting "Oppa" all over the streets.
12L: Indeed, this popularity is a bit unexpected. I feel that if he debuted in Korea, he would also be a big hit.
13L: Wake up, sisters! Kauria is notorious for its xenophobia. If there are too many green card players in a group, you will be scolded, let alone a group with only green card players. I am afraid they will be criticized to death.
14L: Here's a little-known fact: Star-chasers over there aren't as lavish as those in China. Yelling "Oppa" doesn't cost anything, and I'll do the same if I see a handsome guy on the street, but do they have to shell out real money? Haha...
15L: Especially in recent years, how many bands from overseas have been trying to come to China to make money in various ways? They can't even be stopped. Just look at their album sales. What percentage of their sales are domestic, and what percentage are domestic imports?
16L: To be honest, the market there is not as easy as I imagined.
17L: Come to think of it, why are these guys acting like street urchins? Where are they going now?
18L: Why not take a car? I usually have to ride an e-donkey to pick up a package 200 meters away. Walking that much would really make me crazy.
19L: Hmm… Is there a possibility that it’s not that they don’t want to sit, but that Grape has relapsed into his old habit? I didn’t say it explicitly, those who understand will understand [dog head]
20L: What's so unspeakable about this? Isn't it just the old stingy guy acting up again? He must have died of poverty in his previous life, making so much money and still treating his dad like this.
21L: Grape TV has closed down! Yueyu Times has closed down!
22L: Follow the trend +1
………
64L: I didn't realize I've already posted so many comments. Why do you all think it can actually do something like this? I don't think the quality of "Seventh Night" is something that someone would give out cheaply.
65L: For those who don’t know the situation, I recommend watching “The Road to Stardom”. It has such a good reputation that it’s not surprising that it does anything weird.
66L: Latest report! The seven members of the divine group have wandered around H University. Are they going on some mission?!
While domestic fans were hotly discussing their overseas itinerary, Xie Qingyu and his team had successfully completed the check-in task at the first scenic spot and could finally do what they were interested in.
The destination of their trip was the cultural gathering area around H University, a famous university in Coria.
There are many live houses here, and the music culture is deeply rooted.
Throughout the year, performances from independent bands to various art shows are staged one after another. In addition, many trainees and debuted idol groups perform on the streets here. It can be regarded as a holy place for street idol performances.
This is exactly the ideal place that Xie Qingyu and his team carefully selected to perform their songs - in order to attract audiences, they must first ensure that the venue has a large enough flow of people.
Otherwise, even if you attract passers-by on the entire street, you won’t get much funding.
The inspection at this moment is not only a preliminary inspection of the site, but also a rare experience of the atmosphere.
Unfortunately, today seems to be the wrong time.
Although the streets were crowded, I didn't encounter any particularly famous performance groups after walking around for several times.
Regardless of whether you have a good time or not, going back like this always makes you feel like something is missing.
Suddenly, the crowd around began to stir, and a large number of people rushed in the same direction.
Xie Qingyu and his teammates exchanged glances, and spontaneously decided to follow the crowd to take a look and find out what was going on, displaying the nature of the flower-growing family members who "would be a waste if they didn't see the excitement".
