Chapter 85 Xihuai’s son goes to the battle on behalf of his father to beat up the mistress Yu Lan.
[He is a fan of you and Si Xi?] 819 Nonsense, [Xi Huai's son went to fight for his father and beat up the mistress Yu Lan?]
...What the hell is this.
Not to mention Feng Sui's interrogative tone, the question itself was enough to make people confused, and 819 was even more ridiculous with his nonsense.
Jiang Huai let out an "ah" in confusion.
Seeing his attitude, Feng Sui clenched his hands hanging by his side, and his face, which had always been as cold as ice, finally showed some distinct emotions.
He looked at Jiang Huai with a burning gaze, like the spark that suddenly rises when a match strikes red phosphorus.
"Six years ago, a friend dragged me to watch Thor's tour." Feng Sui suppressed his inner anxiety, "You know them, right?"
Jiang Huai nodded.
Thor is a four-member boy band known for their stage performance and was once very popular in the country.
At that time, the concept of idol groups was not very common in the domestic entertainment industry, and Les Dieux first became popular with the reputation of being the domestic version of Thor.
"I've never been in touch with idols before, but their expressiveness is really... so shocking."
Even now, I still feel excited when I think about it: "So I wanted to be an idol. But there were no idols in the domestic entertainment industry at that time, and there was no good stage. So I went to Korea to be a trainee."
…I was clearly asking him a question, but he inexplicably started talking about his life experiences, and even wanted to start from the beginning when Pangu created the world.
Even the lack of focus in his speech is exactly the same as Si Xi's, which is amazing.
But at that time, he and Si Xi were lying on the floor of the practice room and chatting. Now he can only stand here as punishment. He had just finished two hours of dance practice and didn't feel tired at all.
Jiang Huai turned his gaze to the stairwell next to him and interrupted, "Let's sit over there and talk."
The two sat down side by side on the stairs.
There was no light in the stairwell, only the little man marking the escape route, which was glowing green, and some faint moonlight coming in through the window.
The moon always hangs high in the sky, always bright and clear, shining equally on every inch of land.
Feng Sui recalled the Seoul he saw when he was 14 years old.
It was a snowy winter, and the moonlight I saw when my flight landed in the early morning was brighter than tonight. But Seoul was not as prosperous and romantic as in Korean dramas.
The dormitory was small and shabby, and it was difficult to even turn over on the narrow wooden bed that creaked when he moved; the circle-shaped words on the street were so unfamiliar, and the other local trainees spoke very quickly. He could only catch a few words, but he could also find that the content of the conversation was not friendly to him.
He relied on the dream that came from Thor to get through those difficult days.
"…Until last March, I saw your support sign on the streets of Hongdae. I rarely read domestic social media when I was abroad, and I had never heard of your name."
Feng Sui said slowly, "I was just curious why domestic idols' fan clubs would come to Hongdae, so I searched it."
"Then I watched all your performances and found that you are really amazing, really, really amazing. The impact you had on me was just like that of Thor back then... no, even greater than Thor."
"I really admire your performance. I can see your passion for it. It's the first time I know that there are such good performances in the domestic entertainment industry."
That was his fifth year in YT. There were only a few trainees left from the same period, and Feng Sui thought he would stick to it until the end.
The long-awaited debut plan was set for 2025, and it is finally within reach, but just like when he came to Korea because of Thor, he decided to return home because of JAC.
It was only after returning to China that he discovered that Jiang Huai was completely different from what he had imagined: "You can obviously make a career on stage... Why do you have to sell homosexuality?"
Wrong, absolutely wrong, Jiang Huai thought, he was also very good on stage in his previous life, and then he disappeared quietly in a corner unknown to Feng Sui.
And what is the relationship between the stage and being gay?
[How simple, he used to think Thor was a god, but now he thinks you are a god. He probably read too many novels and put himself in the shoes of a sword-crazy martial arts fanatic, thinking that only idols who attract fans through stage performances are orthodox, and everyone else is a crooked person.]
[Gods should be perfect, and perfect idols should not care about anything except the stage.] 819 said sarcastically, [He really can't be a trainee right after graduating from junior high school. He is living in a fantasy. If he wasn't lucky, he wouldn't be here today?]
...He is indeed idealistic to a frightening degree, even more so than in his previous life.
Jiang Huai couldn't help but feel sad when he saw his juniors following the old path that he had proven to be wrong: You really can't be stubborn in the entertainment industry! If you don't hype yourself up, you will become obscurity sooner or later!
819 made the final conclusion: [I guess you and Yu Lan have been visiting each other too much these days. He could pretend to be blind before, but now you are being so gay in front of him that he suddenly wakes up from his dream and collapses.]
Although it is a bit cruel, we should still break the other party's fantasy.
Jiang Huai supported himself on the steps behind him with both hands and groaned, "But I didn't become an idol just because I like the stage."
"…Then what are you doing this for?"
I have heard this question before. Jiang Huai ignored the strange familiarity and said, "I don't even remember the reason at the beginning, but now it's because many people like me."
"I'm very greedy. I greedily hope that more people will like me." He said as a matter of course, "So I want both single fans and couple fans. Where would couple fans come from if I don't sell homosexuality?"
Feng Sui didn't say anything.
"For idols, the stage is of course very important. But people like you who are dragged by friends to watch concerts are a minority. For most fans, they come because they like the people on the stage. One of the reasons they like the people on the stage is that they are gay... and this is a very important reason."
Jiang Huai delivered a two-hit combo: "Fans want to see it, so I did it. Is there anything wrong with that? There is no conflict between doing a good performance and being gay. You approve of my performance so much, which means that I didn't let being gay affect my performance, right?"
He concluded: "To me, these are just ways to make more people like me. There is no essential difference."
The only difference is that being gay may be criticized by some niche groups...but niche groups are not his audience.
Feng Sui was silent for a long time, and no one knew what he was thinking.
The photographers had left the place long ago. Jiang Huai had just manipulated Yu Lan to go back to the hotel first. Now he was in a hurry instead. He leaned against the stairs and waited slowly for Feng Sui to think it through.
The program crew should really give him a raise, Jiang Huai thought, he is also working as a life mentor part-time.
"...Then why is it Yu Lan?" Feng Sui asked somewhat unwillingly.
What kind of stupid question is this? What did Yu Lan do to you?
Jiang Huai was about to speak up for Yu Lan when he heard Feng Sui speak again, listing Yu Lan's crimes one by one: "His ability is very poor. You were obviously accommodating him and lowering the difficulty in the duet stage. At least 60% of your CP fans are more partial to him. He even used your resources to act."
Feng Sui asked from the bottom of his heart: "Besides that face, what else is good about him?"
Isn't having a good face enough? Why do you, a student, have such a big problem with the instructor next door? And why does this sound a bit like accusing the beautiful mistress of seducing? I don't think there is anything wrong with him at all. It's all Yu Lan's fault, right?
Jiang Huai was greatly moved.
Why Yu Lan? Because Yu Lan is himself! He can spend whatever money he earns! What a simple question!
Unfortunately, he couldn't answer like that. Jiang Huai groaned, "Because we have a very good relationship."
"You treat him completely differently than you treat everyone else."
Feng Sui spoke the truth: "Your attitude towards him is very unnatural... You are more relaxed when you are with other people."
Jiang Huai thought that if Sister Huailan heard the first half of this sentence, she would be so happy that she would die.
Feng Sui was quite perceptive. He thought his gay skills were so good that there was no trace of gayness. "Everyone has different ways of getting along with each other. I think it's quite pleasant to be with Yu Lan."
As a temporary mentor, he said a few more kind words, mainly to stop Feng Sui from continuing to condemn Yu Lan: "I understand your feelings of not wanting to sell homosexuality, but the entertainment industry still needs hype."
"I believe you are not the type of person who would hype others up for your own benefit."
Jiang Huai turned his head and looked at the other person, smiling softly: "Now that you have returned to China, you have the opportunity to meet new friends. There is no need to be a lone wolf just to avoid being gay, right? Won't you feel lonely alone?"
He thought for a moment and then added: "Sometimes you can listen to your fans' voices... They also want you to communicate with others."
Even if you are a fan who doesn't like to ship couples together, you don't want to be completely independent of the world.
The various relationships of idols are important factors in helping fans get to know them, and are also the most effective means for idols to express themselves.
For example, Chu Yuanqing is a "family member" and fans can see the vivid Jiang Huai in life through his eyes; for example, Bernard is a "partner" and fans can understand what colleagues think of Jiang Huai.
After the recording of "Idol 101" is finished, it is time for him to think about how to create a new CP... No, study what other relationships there are.
"You can put aside the questions you don't understand for now. There's no need to rush to figure them out." Jiang Huai stretched lazily, "Xiao Feng, go to bed early. See you tomorrow."
"...Yes. Thank you, Teacher Jiang." Feng Sui said stiffly, "See you tomorrow."
