Director Wu was in a good mood after the last episode of the singing competition.
For several nights in a row, he and his wife drank red wine, played saxophones and blues, and danced.
However, due to this change in public opinion and the urgency of the situation, bubbles suddenly started appearing on his lips again these past two days.
I'm under a lot of pressure and I can't release it, so I'm getting really frustrated.
"Xu Yanyu's song is still at number two on the U Chart. Making it onto the U Chart proves that Xu Yanyu has the talent," a staff member reassured Director Wu.
To his surprise, Director Wu was even more amused by what he said. Director Wu pursed his lips and said, "It's because Xu Yanyu's song reached number two on the U chart that the Koreans have lost their temper."
"Didn't you see that Kim Soo-mi's group's song has fallen to the forties?"
"Go check out the show's Weibo account; it's full of Koreans coming in groups to hurl insults. They can't even delete all the comments."
So, in this situation, if Xu Yanyu performs poorly... and makes a mistake at the end, the Koreans will probably criticize her even more harshly.
The staff member thought of the screen filled with "Ashiba"...
He can speak some Korean now, such as the Korean word "Ashiba".
He could imagine that if Xu Yanyu really performed poorly, the screen would be filled with "Ashiba" (a vulgar expression of anger) and it would become a trending topic on international social media.
Just then, the staff member's phone vibrated, and he quickly took it out.
Then I saw Xiaozhi's message: "Boss, Yan Yu's helicopter has arrived in H City, and I've picked her up."
The staff were relieved to be back.
At least now that he's back, Director Wu won't keep bothering him with questions.
Director Wu continued to rant: "Now that Yan Yu is back, I'll see if I can keep her for a few more days. Isn't that old Wei capable of applying for funding? Let him apply for a few more days."
Director Wu insisted that Xu Yanyu choose a song and practice it before releasing her.
He didn't want to live those days of constant fear and trepidation any longer.
At this moment, the staff member said, "Xiao Zhi has picked up Xu Yanyu..."
Have you picked them up?
Director Wu immediately perked up.
"Come on, let's go. It's over on the tarmac, right? I have something to tell Xu Yanyu. We still have time, so let's tell her quickly."
Otherwise, she'll have to do her makeup and hair later, and then she won't have time.
Director Wu didn't even need the staff to tell him where he was; he went out on his own.
After bidding farewell to Tao Mimi, Xu Yanyu said to Xiao Zhi, who was waiting outside, "Xiao Zhi, thank you for your hard work. Let's go over there now to get ready."
Although the helicopter flew directly to the vicinity of H station at a fairly fast speed, it was already past 1 p.m.
Xu Yanyu estimated that changing clothes and putting on makeup would take several hours.
If you calculate it that way, her time is actually quite tight.
Xiao Zhi helped Xu Yanyu carry her luggage and led the way.
The two walked very fast, and they ran into Director Wu just as they reached the door of the lounge.
"Yan Yu, how's your singing practice going?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yanyu's lips twitched involuntarily.
Director Wu seems to have made it a habit to ask this question.
Xiao Zhi, standing next to her, pursed her lips, wanting to smile.
"I've already practiced. Director Wu, please rest assured, I will have no problem performing on stage," Xu Yanyu replied confidently.
Director Wu nodded after hearing her words, then turned and asked, "Have you finished filming your scene?"
Xu Yanyu shook her head, "Not yet. The script was revised later, and a lot more scenes were added. To be honest, filming is quite difficult, wearing Dongtian's clothes in the summer..."
"Of course, singing is still the best."
You have a talent for singing. The song you performed in the last episode became popular not only in China but also on foreign websites.
Listen to me, sing well from now on. After this performance, practice your songs here first, then choose your songs on Saturday, and practice diligently on Sunday and Monday.
Director Wu counted on his fingers as he planned the itinerary for Xu Yanyu.
Xu Yanyu gave an awkward smile. "It might not work. I have to rush back to film tomorrow afternoon. Right now, the whole crew is just missing my scenes."
What Xu Yanyu didn't want to say was that Director Wei originally planned for her to go back with Tao Mimi after her performance tonight.
However, considering that the production team had some other plans, Xu Yanyu had to plead with Director Wei to postpone it by one day.
Director Wu's upturned lips slowly flattened; he strongly disapproved of Xu Yanyu's actions.
Director Wu said earnestly, "Yan Yu, look at you, you're about to become an international superstar."
Do you want all your songs to be on the U Chart in the future? Your last song didn't even reach number one on the U Chart.
Do you want to hold concerts all over the world and sign autographs until your hand is sore?
Xu Yanyu tilted her head. Holding concerts all over the world was tiring, and signing autographs was also tiring, but she really wanted to become an international superstar and increase her reputation.
Xu Yanyu nodded.
Director Wu was pleased and looked at her with a sense of admiration, as if she were a promising young woman.
He clapped his hands excitedly and said, "That's right! Can acting make you famous? You've been acting for so many years since your debut, haven't you? Did you become a superstar through acting? No, right?"
"But you've only been singing for a short time, and you've only sung a few songs, yet your songs have already made it onto the U-Charts."
This is an achievement that countless people in China dream of. It proves you were born to be a singer.
Let's put aside acting and focus on preparing for the singer's performance.
Let's cut our losses now. Acting won't help you much, but singing can!
Listen to me, next week's focus is on practicing singing and preparing for your performance. You're definitely going to be a huge star!
Director Wu practically patted his chest in assurance.
Xu Yanyu touched her nose; she felt like Director Wu was just making empty promises to her.
Just then, the makeup artist who had been contacted in advance arrived.
Xu Yanyu quickly changed the subject, saying, "Director Wu, I need to prepare my makeup and styling for the stage performance later."
Xiao Zhi, who was standing next to her, opened the door and led the makeup artist in, then took out all the clothes that had been placed in the lounge.
Director Wu scratched his head, knowing that he was about to get busy.
He's a grown man, so it's really not appropriate for him to stay here.
He turned and walked out, glancing back as he went, saying, "Remember what I said: if you want to be famous, sing well; if you want to hold concerts all over the world, prepare your shows well..."
"It's okay to just fool Director Wei..."
Xu Yanyu's lips twitched. The last sentence was the real reveal of her true intentions.
"Director Wu, I'm busy now. We'll talk again when I'm done..." Xu Yanyu said, glancing at Xiao Zhi.
After Director Wu stepped out the door, Xiao Zhi immediately locked it.
Xu Yanyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With all these things happening at once, it must have been tough for her.
Thinking back to what Director Wei had told me before we set off, it was similar to what Director Wu had just said.
Xu Yanyu spent the rest of the time preparing to go on stage.
The makeup artist had done Xu Yanyu's makeup before, and this time she had made preparations in advance, so she started working as soon as Xu Yanyu sat down.
