They were taken aback by the scene at the building entrance as soon as they stepped outside.
A group of people carrying cameras that looked like long lenses were running in their direction.
At the very front, someone was holding a microphone and shouting from afar, "Could you give us a chance? We, the gossip media, would like to interview you..."
"Sorry, our artists refuse interviews. We do not accept interviews. You need to make an appointment to interview our artists!"
Agent Aping has officially launched.
He straightened his slightly crooked tie.
He spread his arms wide, like a mother hen protecting her chicks, and stood in front of Chulina.
Chulina also adjusted her sunglasses, raising her head high.
She whispered to her agent, "See, I told you to come out with me. These annoying media outlets are like flies, they're blocking the door again."
"Did they recognize your license plate number? Go back and have the company provide me with another car."
Aping ignored her and continued to dutifully stand in front of her.
At that moment, the group of people had already rushed up to them.
The microphone at the very front was already shoved right in front of Ah Ping.
Aping said loudly, "We do not accept interviews. We have signed a contract with the program team and it is inconvenient for us to accept personal interviews."
At this moment, A Ping's thought process was also confused by Chu Lina.
They also concluded that these people were there to interview them.
Otherwise, why would they rush up to them so excitedly?
Sigh, I really need to apply to the company for a new car and a new license plate.
But then the microphone went around in circles and came right back.
The person holding the microphone looked at Chu Lina with suspicion, then turned to the people behind him and said loudly, "This doesn't seem to be Sexy Xiaoqiang. Sexy Xiaoqiang has a hotter figure."
Chulina was stunned when she heard this.
What the heck? They're not here to interview her?
As if in response to her question, the person holding the microphone turned and said, "You're not Sexy Little Strong, are you? And you don't seem to be a self-proclaimed peacock either? Are you a new contestant?"
Chulina nodded repeatedly, and after being completely bewildered, she surprisingly answered all her questions.
"Oh, let's move aside! Let's make way for them."
The man holding the microphone put it back in his suit pocket and raised his arm to direct the people behind him to evacuate.
Soon, a wide road was cleared.
The man glanced back at A-Ping and said, "You all look so gloomy, there's no need for an interview."
"Like those authors who fail at writing novels, no one gives them gifts to encourage them."
Chu Lina was shocked. She pointed at the person and said incredulously, "Who are you calling unlucky? What's wrong with you? Can't you speak properly?"
Show me your work ID; I need to see your employee number. I'm going to file a complaint against you with your company.
Those people had already gone far away.
Ah Ping, however, rolled his eyes and stood firmly in front of Chu Lina, whispering, "You should be mindful of your public image."
"Don't get angry, don't jump up and down. I'll handle the swearing; you go back to the car and wait."
"Come with me, inhale, exhale..."
As he spoke, A-Ping pulled Chu Lina's hand and led her to where they had parked.
"Don't stop me, I'm going to find that person and get his work ID back!" Chu Lina shouted, turning back to glare menacingly at the group of people.
"Don't worry, I'll handle it. Just watch me! What are agents for? They're there to do the dirty work and the frustrating stuff."
He pushed Chulina into the car, closed the door, and then excitedly ran towards the group of people.
Approaching the group of people, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.
He said to the man holding the microphone, "Hey buddy, have a cigarette. It's terribly hot and dry, have a smoke to cool down."
"Don't worry, we won't release the footage of your artist swearing." The man casually pulled out a cigarette and tucked it behind his ear.
He thought A-Ping had come to discuss this matter.
"I didn't come to you about that. I heard you've all been here catching Sexy Little Cockroach?"
Aping turned his head to look at the car before lowering his voice.
“Yeah!” The man glanced at A-Ping, wondering what he was up to.
"If you manage to get Sexy Xiaoqiang's contact number during your interview, could you please give me a copy?"
"Or if you can guess her real identity, you can tell me."
Aping finished speaking at an extremely fast pace.
The man frowned but did not agree.
Ah Ping simply tossed his phone number over, saying, "Sell me the information, and I'll pay you!"
Ultimately, whether it was for the money or because Ah Ping had persuaded him so much, the other party agreed.
Xu Yanyu had no idea what was happening outside.
She waited backstage for a full half hour before Xiao Lu told her that everything was arranged and she could leave.
Xu Yanyu followed Xiao Lu to Exit C, and saw a lot of people gathered at the entrance from afar.
She asked curiously, "Are they all blocking my way?"
Xiao Lu nodded and replied, "They are very persistent; they have been waiting for almost an hour."
It's all because of that trending topic that the mentors couldn't guess your identity during this episode's recording.
Some people knew the show hadn't finished recording yet, so those who lived nearby came to wait for them.
Some unscrupulous media outlets are simply trying to grab headlines.
Xu Yanyu is all too familiar with this tactic; it's the era where traffic is king.
If you can provide news that the public cares about, then the traffic will explode.
Xiao Lu ran over and told the security staff at the entrance.
Soon, five or six more staff members came out of the security rest room.
Everyone worked together to stop those people, and Xu Yanyu took the opportunity to escape.
She took a long detour before finally hailing a taxi home.
Back home, Xu Yanyu made her next decision: she needed to find some time to buy a car.
Without a car, her life would be very inconvenient.
The very next day, Xu Yanyu received a phone call as soon as she got up in the morning.
"Hello, are you Xu Yanyu?"
Xu Yanyu found the somewhat unfamiliar middle-aged male voice a little strange.
Before she could answer, the person on the other end continued, "I am Zeng Yingde."
I apologize for bothering you, but I listened to your rendition of "The Ordinary Road" last night.
I have a movie that's looking for a theme song, so I'd like to buy this song to use as the theme song for my movie.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yanyu recalled what Coach Fu had said during the recording of the program.
She replied without hesitation, "Sure."
"I'll have to trouble you to record this song again. The way you sang it on the show is the most fitting."
Director Zeng recalled the middle-aged man's wailing and howling that he heard last night, which really ruined the beauty of the song.
Yes, as soon as the assistant director finished recording the program last night, he couldn't wait to invite Director Zeng out for drinks.
The reason I drank was that I helped him find the theme song.
Director Zeng originally didn't want to go out, but he was in a hurry and figured he had nothing better to do, so he decided to go out and have a get-together.
Unexpectedly, he stumbled upon the perfect song for his movie theme.
