Chapter 013 The Eve of Recording

Before officially participating in the recording of the program "Bright Stars", Lu Wei looked through all the names of contestants that could be found on the Internet.

It was discovered that not all participating groups were obscure and ignored in the entertainment industry. Members of two of the teams had participated in the famous 101 series of talent shows and made it to the finals.

If things develop normally, he should have a good future and won't have to go back to the talent show to continue fighting.

But unfortunately, as time goes by, the member's company does not have the ability to retain the program's traffic, nor the strength to develop new groups, and can only let their popularity dissipate little by little and move away from the public's sight little by little.

The reason for the flop was not known to the public until they were completely dragged down and all their sparks were extinguished.

The beautiful vision of being a ball of fire when together and a sky full of stars when apart seems to exist only in people's imagination.

In addition, Lu Wei also found the disbanded fourth-generation group from the list circulated on the Internet, and this time they will return with a new look after the reorganization.

According to Goryeo, the senior is coming to fry fish.

Although Lu Wei had followed Korea's top-tier groups and paid attention to the once-famous 101 debut groups before, she did not know the contestants on the list circulated online this time, and did not expect that she would become a part of it.

At the moment, we also have to analyze the people on the online list who are absolutely prohibited from approaching, so as to avoid being accidentally injured.

Tsk...how distressing it is.

After all, there are so many young ladies who can purify her eyes that she can hardly control the corners of her mouth from turning up.

Hold on, hold on... Lu Wei took a deep breath and forced the corners of AK's mouth down. In his heart, he complained bitterly about the iceberg character he had used in the past. It was really not easy for someone who only liked to eat melons and have fun to be so serious until now.

After collecting the materials and packing everything up, Lu Wei and his teammates loaded their packed luggage onto the minibus in the early morning hours of the day when they set off for the MNTB studio for the recording session. Even with the streetlights still on, Lu Wei and his teammates loaded their luggage onto the minibus.

Out of MNTB's consideration, the company made a rare effort to help them and booked them in advance at the most expensive dressing room in Korea. They had to go there early to queue up.

Speaking of this, Lu Wei had to mention one thing. She once thought that makeup artists were there to work with artists.

It wasn't until I came to Korea that I realized that most idol artists need to take the initiative to go to the dressing room open to the public to do their makeup and then go to participate in the event.

Her imagination once again caused her great harm.

Of course, there is another more heartbreaking reason why they can have this special experience: they are not yet famous enough to have a company specifically assign a makeup artist to them.

The red makeup added during the song's promotion doesn't count. Honestly, it's better to let my teammates earn this money. This perfectly implements a closed-loop system of funds flowing out with one hand and in with the other.

Because there was no special note on the notice requiring stage makeup, after the agent communicated with the makeup artist, Lu Wei got a makeup that best suited her aesthetic so far.

The ancients were right. You get what you pay for, and you get a good deal at ten times the price.

Her previous makeup and styling either needed to match the song and stage concept, or needed to fit in with the overall team, and were not really suitable for her.

Now this outfit of a sea salt-colored knitted short-sleeved shirt and high-waisted wide-leg jeans brings out Lu Wei's relaxed feeling to the greatest extent.

Even though summer is long gone and fall is on the way, this outfit is still seasonally appropriate.

In addition, with the help of wigs and curling irons, her hair falls naturally like a seaweed waterfall. The thick, lush and fluffy style exudes a special vitality.

Unbleached hair enhances the contrast of facial features, focusing the viewer's attention on the triangular area of the eyes, nose and lips.

The big eyes, which were watery due to fatigue, seemed to be able to speak, attracting people to explore deeper.

Lu Wei stared at himself in the mirror, trying to find the shadow of the human skin mask. Clearly the same facial features, how could such a subtle adjustment make them look so different?

Sure enough, the makeup artist's hands are real hands. Her hands can at best be called claws, and at worst, pliers.

If someone asked her now if she was worried that this makeup, this look that looks good would end her career as a background board?

Lu Wei had to defend herself, saying she wasn't quite as naive as she was. It was common knowledge that beauty combined with any other card was a sure win, but playing it alone was a sure win.

Self-awareness is still firmly ingrained in every inch of her body.

After observing himself in the mirror, Lu Wei made way, stood up and sat on the fabric sofa next to him to practice questions on his phone.

Jin Nayan, who had just finished her makeup, walked around in front of Lu Wei and praised her in a friendly tone with a smile on her face: "It looks very good. Xiaowei is very suitable for this style."

Hearing the compliments coming from beside him, Lu Wei was a little confused, but still responded politely: "Thank you, you look great today too."

Perhaps Kim Na-yeon was trying to get some commercial swagger going? To foreshadow a touching teammate bond before the recording? Lu Wei lowered his eyes, hiding the confusion in his eyes.

Jin Nayan smiled and didn't continue talking. She had long discovered that Lu Wei had a soft heart under his hard shell. He just had a cold face and looked difficult to approach, but in fact he was kinder than anyone else.

Praising Lu Wei more before the recording might help her become more stable and perform better on the show.

When everyone finished their makeup and walked out of the dressing room, the sun and the moon began to rotate, and the morning sun slowly rose in the east, and a new day had arrived.

The minibus drove away into the distance, and the members rushed to an unknown destination with trepidation.

Looking through the car window, wearing headphones and watching the busy pedestrians, Lu Wei seemed to have touched the overlapping part of time and space. Everything in front of her kept reminding her that this was a real world and the people around her were real people.

She never dared to mention her parents who were far away in time and space, nor did she dare to imagine how they felt at this moment.

It would be great if she could tell them in a dream. Even if she couldn't go back, Lu Wei could tell them that she would work hard to live in this world and manage her life seriously, no matter what challenges lay ahead.

I hope they can live a happy, healthy, joyful and peaceful life in another world.

When I think about it this way, are those family members who are far away from this world also living happily somewhere we can’t see?

When the car arrived near the MNTB studio, Lu Wei had already calmed down. He picked up his suitcase and got out of the car, looking at the building entrance surrounded by the crowd from afar.

In fact, she was a little curious about the content of the program they were recording at the studio today and why they needed to bring a week's worth of daily necessities. There didn't seem to be any accommodation in this building.

The members got off the minibus one by one and saw the crowd of fans gathered in front of the studio. However, they did not feel envious as they were used to it.

No one comes for them anyway.

Cui Yajing looked around the car and found nothing left behind. She said to the members, "Let's go."

Lu Wei gripped the handle of the suitcase tightly and fell silently behind the crowd.

As the distance between them and the building gradually decreased, the onlookers who were waiting, placing bets, and joining in the fun on both sides of the railing also saw them.

The members, thinking that no one would care, greeted both sides with smiles as usual.

Those who originally came here with unclear purpose suddenly felt embarrassed.

"How about taking two pictures? What if he becomes famous later? We've already taken the first one, so two pictures won't make a difference."

"That makes sense. Let's take two pictures."

After successfully convincing myself, the flash lights started to light up sporadically, which was much better than when no one was paying attention to the song during the promotion.

A look of surprise flashed across the faces of Kim Na-yeon and others, and then they responded to the photographer who raised the camera with an even brighter smile.

Although the cement road under your feet is not paved with a red carpet, it has all the elements of a red carpet.

"I've noticed these obscure Korean celebrities are all very nice. They're much better than some obscure Chinese celebrities who nobody cares about but still command a ton of cash." Cheng Xiu nudged her companion beside her and commented in Mandarin. After all, being abroad, few people could understand her.

"For example, who?" Jiang Xing's face was full of curiosity.

Lu Wei, who was at the end of the team, accurately recognized the language engraved in his bones. He kept smiling while plucked up his ears and ate the melon.

"Are you doing this on purpose? Otherwise, can you give me an example?" Cheng Xiu looked at his companion speechlessly. Why would he bring up those annoying things when traveling?

"Look...you're not a good person. You go out and pull people down everywhere, which boosts other people's ambitions and destroys your own prestige." Jiang Xing smacked his lips deliberately after he finished speaking, fearing that he would make his friend too angry.

"Shut up! Don't talk to me for two minutes!" Cheng Xiu angrily raised the camera she had specially prepared for this trip. Although it was not as good as the guns and cannons beside her, it had higher pixels than a mobile phone.

Hearing this, Lu Wei curled his lips, lowered his eyes and chuckled. Chinese friendship is really interesting, otherwise why would there be the term "best friend"?

The morning sun shines overhead, a golden halo surrounds the body, and the flash lights flash several times, freezing the picture.

After eating the melon, Lu Wei quickened his pace and left the area, walking with his teammates, stopping and starting to greet people in all directions.

But unexpectedly, after she left, Cheng Xiu quickly broke his promise and completely forgot his two-minute friendship vow: "OMG! I think I captured something incredible! Look, look!"

Jiang Xing shook his head and reluctantly leaned in front of the small camera screen. He just took a quick glance and couldn't look away.

The moment some people appeared, even the light took on a shape. When she lowered her eyes and smiled, she seemed to feel the warmth of the sun through the photograph.

"The atmosphere is unbeatable." Cheng Xiu praised while using his eagle eyes, which he had cultivated over many years of watching the fun, to search around and quickly locate Lu Wei's figure about to enter the building.

This young lady gives people a very different feeling. She has a distant and pure temperament and a look without any flattering intention. You can tell at a glance that she is Chinese.

"Send me the photos, and ask you to mention them casually." Jiang Xing calmed his pounding heart and looked up at the back of the person who was about to leave.

"No problem, the young lady should be Chinese. If she performs better in the show and gets more screen time, she will definitely be able to make a living in the domestic entertainment industry." Cheng Xiu made an OK gesture and gave an objective comment.

Jiang Xing didn't respond, but picked up her camera and frantically pressed the shutter. The program wasn't filmed in China; she was just traveling to Korea and would be leaving soon.

I don’t know if there will be a chance to meet you again in the future.
