The huge cloud moved slowly and moved forward.
“This is really troublesome.”
Looking at the typhoon in front of her, the red ponytail floating in the air also raised her eyebrows. The typhoon in front of her was like a huge air element monster, ruthlessly devouring everything in front of it. If this continues, Ryugu Komachi will definitely not be able to make it to the concert.
So I had no choice but to do it myself.
"Come, Fire's Joy, Frostmourne!"
Red Ponytail reached out her hand, and soon, under the explosion of fire and frost, two great swords appeared in her hands. Frostmourne kept shaking the sword body, with a bit of dissatisfaction.
"In the next world, I'll let you eat as much as you want in the next world."
Feeling Frostmourne's dissatisfaction, Red Ponytail had to comfort her. Frostmourne was not the embodiment of evil, but her desire for souls would never end. To put it bluntly, Frostmourne liked souls, a bit like a woman going to a SPA, she would have to do it once or twice every few days to feel comfortable. But if you don't do it for a year, she will be unhappy.
After all, there is nothing in this world that needs fighting, and Frostmourne has no place to use its skills. Now that it has been summoned, it is facing a meaningless typhoon, and it is immediately very dissatisfied.
But she could only protest.
Red Ponytail clenched the two swords in her hands, and soon, flames and frost burst out and entangled, turning into a new storm. Then, she raised the two swords and swung them forward.
“——!”
Fire and ice flashed by, as if an invisible hand forcibly tore open the thin defense of Typhoon, and at the same time, Typhoon began to twist and roar. It was like a girl who was molested and struggled desperately, but was eventually pressed into the corner, and then her mouth was blocked, and then...
And then nothing happened.
"Good, done."
Looking at the typhoon gradually dissipating, Red Ponytail snapped his fingers proudly.
"The next step is to see what happens at Ryugu Komachi."
While Red Ponytail was dealing with the typhoon, Fang Zheng also gathered the others and explained the current situation to the girls.
When they heard that Ryuguu Komachi might not arrive on time, everyone's face changed.
"Really? Producer?"
"As it stands now, lateness is almost certain."
Fang Zheng had no other options. Although the typhoon had been eliminated, the traffic jams and flight cancellations caused by the typhoon would not be so easily resolved. Even if Ryugu Komachi set off now, he would definitely be late to get here.
Fang Zheng could also understand the girls' confusion and anxiety.
You know, this is 765's first large-scale LIVE, and its purpose is to promote all the idols of 765. Not only will there be thousands of viewers, but it will even be broadcast on TV. It can be said that this is a gamble for 765. If they win, everyone will get to eat together, but if they lose, they will be completely finished.
But now that it has happened, it must be resolved.
"Let's change the schedule now."
Seeing the nervousness and anxiety in the girls' eyes, Fang Zheng could understand. You know, for this concert, the girls rehearsed for a whole week. According to the original plan, this concert was centered around STARS and Ryugu Komachi, and then gave others a chance. Everyone had been preparing for a week about what to perform and what songs to sing.
And now they are going to change the program schedule?
If they were big stars or popular idols, it would be fine. But the girls are new after all, and this is their first large-scale concert. They have only performed in mini concerts before, and at most there were hundreds of people at that time. It is completely incomparable to the current scale of thousands of people.
Just thinking about standing on the stage and being scrutinized by thousands of people is enough to make one's legs go weak, not to mention having to change the program at the last minute...
For a moment, the backstage was in a panic.
Changing the program schedule is a very troublesome thing. The original plan was a safe one. The idea was to let STARS and Ryuguu Komachi appear at the same time to liven up the atmosphere, and then introduce a few newcomers. Then STARS and Ryuguu Komachi would take turns to appear and introduce a few more newcomers. Or let Haruka, Chihaya and Miki lead a few newcomers to sing a few songs, and finally everyone would end with a big chorus.
But now, we have to choose a more radical plan.
"Haruka, Chihaya, Miki."
Fang Zheng stared at the three people in front of him.
"Now the plan has changed and the program schedule needs to be readjusted. STARS needs to be the first to appear and liven up the atmosphere. Your task is the most important... Are you confident?"
"this……"
Chihaya was visibly hesitant, but Haruka clenched her fists and nodded.
“I will try my best!”
As for Miki...
“Producer.”
Miki raised her head, her eyes shining.
"Will this make Miki sparkle?"
"certainly."
Fang Zheng nodded without hesitation. He stared at Miki and was quite satisfied with her excited expression. Strictly speaking, Miki was not a "traditional" protagonist. Generally speaking, traditional protagonists in animations believed that "efforts will pay off" and "hard work will lead to success", but Miki was different. She just wanted to be an idol easily, instead of striving hard.
To put it bluntly, Miki's idea is actually "she wants to live an easy life, and she happens to have the talent to be an idol, and because of her talent, it will be easy for her to be an idol, so she wants to be an idol" - this is a completely "politically incorrect" route.
Although a phrase often used in chicken soup is "You have to believe that there are people who are more talented than you and work harder than you", the focus of this sentence is "genius".
Unfortunately, 99% of people are not geniuses.
As for the remaining geniuses, the competition between those who work hard and those who don’t has nothing to do with ordinary people.
That is the realm of the one percent.
Mixi is like a small animal, looking simple and straightforward, but actually able to see through the difficulties of survival at a glance.
But what Fang Zheng didn't expect was that Mei Xi asked a question that surprised him.
"So, will Miki outshine Ogiso Setsuna?"
"Um?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment. He looked at Meixi and realized that Meixi was staring at him seriously.
What's going on?
Fang Zheng really had no idea why Miki cared about Ogiso Setsuna. After all, in his memory, Miki and Setsuna had just passed each other at the TV station before, and Miki didn't show any special emotions towards Setsuna at that time. But now, why did she suddenly mention Setsuna?
Although he didn't know the reason, Fang Zheng just thought about it for a moment and quickly gave an answer.
"certainly."
After all, Meixi is an artist under his command. If he doesn't help Meixi, would he help the enemy? That doesn't make sense, right?
Sure enough, after hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Mi Xi smiled happily.
However, at this moment, Xue Bu came running over hurriedly with the program list.
"Producer! Something went wrong!"
"What's going on?"
Looking at Xue Bu's uneasy expression, Fang Zheng's heart sank.
"There's trouble with the order of the show!"
"oh?"
Fang Zheng took the adjusted program list, glanced at it quickly, and soon found the problem.
"Missy wants to sing two songs in a row? What's going on? Can't you adjust it?"
"That's impossible. I only discovered it after I made the adjustments."
Qiong also had a look of helplessness on her face. Originally, these songs were to be sung by Miki and Iori from Ryuguu Komachi together, with other programs inserted in between. But now that Ryuguu Komachi is not here, many programs have to be rearranged, which naturally causes problems.
“…”
Looking at the program list in his hand, Fang Zheng was silent. He didn't know how tiring it was to be an idol before. It was not until he became a producer that Fang Zheng realized that these idols were not just there to sell their faces and eat for free. When I was a kid, those singers would perform for hours at a time, because most of them just stood on the stage and sang, with others dancing behind them.
But today's idols are different, they have to sing and dance at the same time, which is very tiring, almost like running a half marathon. So basically everyone is separated, so that they can take turns to rest when others are on stage.
But only Miki has practiced these two songs, and no one else can sing them...
“Producer.”
However, at this moment, Miki spoke again.
"Misaki wants to give it a try."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng looked at Mei Xi.
"Is everything okay, Miki?"
"Well... because the producer said that Miki will shine brighter than Ogiso Setsuna, so... Miki is fine!"
"All right."
Faced with Meixi's answer, Fang Zheng thought for a moment and then made a decision.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Miki."
