Chapter 257
The wooden planks at the rear of the cowshed weren't tightly joined. Hearing the noise, Zhu Jian, who was sitting on a bench at the back, shifted slightly. Using the gaps between the planks, she peered curiously. Then, as if nailed to the spot, she stared intently.
"What are you looking at? So serious?" Li Mo muttered, putting one hand on Zhu Jian's shoulder and leaning his head over. With just one look, he knew what was going on with his friend.
Li Mo subconsciously covered his mouth with his hands in excitement. He turned around with a look of surprise and waved frantically to Zhou Xiao, who was holding the camera.
The music continued, but Zhou Xiao had already recognized the song. Seeing Li Mo's surprised expression, she had a vague idea in her mind and leaned forward to look at the gap.
On the other side of the bullpen is a massive parking lot, specifically designed to house the artists' RVs. The parking spaces are designed around RVs, and several are already parked there.
The RV closest to them even had an awning erected. Beneath it, someone was gesturing to the music. Though restrained by his attire, the young man's movements were exceptionally pleasing to the eye.
As for the music, it was none other than the love song "It's Destined," a collaboration between Ji Shao and Bai Yunqing. It had been adapted into a dance number, which was why Zhou Xiao hadn't immediately recognized it, even though it sounded familiar.
The original gentle rhythm was adapted into a fast tempo, and the style of the music moved towards a light and energetic direction, making it a perfect adaptation into a satisfying and rhythmic dance song.
"Ahhh, my little idol is practicing dancing!" Li Mo felt so beautiful that she was about to burst into tears. What could be more heartwarming than visiting the studio and discovering your little idol practicing dancing during break?
"Is this the Hip-Hop that we're going to dance at the concert?" Zhou Xiao put down the camera and asked with interest.
Ji Shao was an exceptional dancer during his time with Star 101, and even after his debut, he was incredibly expressive on group stages. However, despite a few performances, due to the nature of the evening's setting, aside from group performances, he was essentially confined to standing still like the other artists.
After realizing it was a new dance, Zhou Xiao put down her camera. Rather than letting her co-stars know about the new stage through her "reveal," it would have been better for Ji Shao to announce the surprise in person on stage.
What was it like for ancient people to dance hip-hop? Zhou Xiao thinks this would be a very interesting on-set diary.
Under the awning was Ji Shao, who was diligently practicing his dance moves, while at the entrance to the RV was Chen Shenju, who was secretly filming with his camera. Although his movements looked a bit vulgar, they were praised by all three.
Zhou Xiao suddenly recalled the behind-the-scenes footage of Ji Shao's concert. It was these two who had secretly filmed Ji Shao. Compared to Song Xiao's reliability, she felt that Chen Shenju clearly understood what fans needed more.
This is the difference between management companies. Song Xiao is an assistant at New Town, and compared to serving fans, artists always come first. For Chen Shenju, however, being an idol is a fan-oriented job. Beyond ensuring the comfort of his own artists, fans are particularly important.
But this group is still pretty good now. Zhou Xiao was lost in thought as he thought about it. He didn't know if this assistant would return to New City with Ji Shao after completing the limited group contract.
…
"Brother Shao! Come inside for lunch. If you practice at noon, don't practice at night!" Song Xiao leaned out of the car door, leaned against the door with his left hand, and shouted to Ji Shao under the shed.
"Then my brother Shao definitely won't agree, right, Xiao Shao?" Chen Shenju, holding his camera, had already swiftly put it away when Ji Shao turned around. He stepped back and stood up, straightening the wrinkles on the hem of his short-sleeved shirt from squatting.
Next month is the NINE STAR concert. Although he's heard from many colleagues that his members are tanking, Chen Shenju doesn't believe it at all. It's not just the artists themselves; there's also competition between them.
Chen Shenju was initially worried about conflicts between the play and the stage, but discovered that Ji Shao never used scheduling conflicts as an excuse. His voice, stage presence, and performance were constantly improving, and he had also squeezed in time for dance practice.
Even though they were practicing in the RV, even when he was watching his seniors filming on site, Chen Shenju noticed that Ji Shao was listening seriously and practicing the movements with his hands.
Compared to Song Xiao's indifference to the concert, Chen Shenju, Huayao's assistant, naturally hoped that Ji Shao would take the performance seriously. Fortunately, the person behind the stage took it far more seriously than he did.
Chen Shenju looked at Ji Shao, and without realizing it, his eyes were filled with relief and pride, and all of this was seen by the three people who were hiding in the cowshed.
After seeing Ji Shao respond and swiftly board the RV, Zhu Jian's expression inside the studio shifted from excitement to solemnity. She wondered if the frequent visits from fans would burden Ji Shao.
Compared to other male actors in the studio, who wear masks, sunglasses, and hats pulled down low, Ji Shao always appears in front of fans with a sunny, no-makeup look. Although some outsiders think this is his idol burden, but offline, everyone who goes there is confused and silent.
"It would be great if no one was squatting at work..." Zhu Jian felt like he was starting to become hypocritical. While watching the offline video, he also hoped that Ji Shao could sleep a little longer.
Zhou Xiao understood what Zhu Jian meant when he heard this. Why didn't the actors in the film and television studio take care of themselves? It was simply because filming was too tiring and they weren't willing to wake up half an hour earlier to simply tidy up their appearance.
This is also because fans are used to PUA. As soon as someone is dissatisfied with the actors not being active offline, they rush out to make up for it. Thinking of this, Zhou Xiao is also a little curious. With the addition of Ji Shao, a "big catfish", what will other fans think?
Looking at Zhu Jian, Zhou Xiao shook his head and said, "Unless the crew of 'The Unparalleled General' closes down, there will definitely be fans and photographers waiting for them."
…
There was another night scene tonight, and after dinner, the actors began to return to the set. Zhou Xiao saw that the actors who had entered the RV earlier were all wearing hoods and uniforms as they passed by him.
Not every actor on a production crew gets a car. Usually, only the main actors with a certain ranking have this privilege. Although Zhou Xiao doesn't watch dramas often, he is very familiar with the faces of these main actors.
"Hey, why are you three here?" A clear voice sounded, with a hint of laughter in the words.
When Zhou Xiao heard the voice, she subconsciously looked over and saw Ji Shaozheng standing outside the fence, looking at them with a smile.
This? Zhou Xiao looked around and subconsciously reached out to pat the model cow beside her. After a moment, she forgot that the three of them were still in the cowshed.
The two people beside him blushed at Ji Shao's teasing, but they inexplicably relaxed. They felt like friends Ji Shao had met by chance, and the words he spoke to them were natural and intimate.
"We're waiting for you here! Xiao Shao, I hope the next shoot goes well!" Zhu Jian calmed down his excitement and was the first to respond.
"Okay~ You guys should go back early. The shooting will be late tonight, so don't wait for me!" Ji Shao responded seriously.
Li Mo nodded frantically, her phone held high. It wasn't that she didn't want to talk to Ji Shao, but she simply couldn't bring herself to speak. They'd already met several times, and she'd been incredibly supportive offline. But now, with only a few people around, she started to get nervous.
Zhou Xiao, one of the three, stepped back, allowing Ji Shao to fully enter the scene. There were numerous offline fans and photographers, but most of the photos they produced were half-body shots. This was not only because it was convenient to produce photos, but also because it made it easier to capture the essence of the image.
However, this means that every offline event will be crowded. The roads will be completely blocked in a short period of time, and this is even if fans prepare in advance. Zhou Xiao pressed the shutter, thinking in his mind, let's see what effect this set of pictures will have.
"Ji Shao, look at the camera!" Zhou Xiao said to Ji Shao. She had already quickly adjusted the angle and was now waiting to catch Ji Shao's eyes.
However, what she didn't expect was that Ji Shao took a few steps forward. Originally, he was still some distance away from the fence, but now these few steps directly reached it. Ji Shao blinked his beautiful peach blossom eyes and leaned on the fence with one hand to support his face.
"Is it okay?" As he said this, he seemed to inadvertently tilt his head and look at Zhou Xiao's camera.
Teay, but super cute!!!
Seeing this scene, Zhu Jian and Li Mo couldn't help but shout in their hearts, almost joining the camp of mom fans. Looking at Ji Shao who was so close to them, they both felt that this offline trip was really worth it!
Although she wanted to see a full-body photo, but with such a cute picture... Zhou Xiao, holding the camera, said she could have it all!

【Topic】Oh Mo Oh Mo Ji Shao's photos are so smart!
[Main Building] The main building sells sacks, limited to one per person! It really depends on the heart-throb teacher! The photos are really what I like!

Isn't Zhou Xiao the stills artist for "Flower City"? Could she be hired to shoot "The Unparalleled General"? I feel like the characters she captures are so full of life!

Reply to 1L: I fully agree! But the salary of a stills artist is not high, taking photos of a big star will make you more money than taking stills for a movie, oh

When will fans learn not to over-retouch leaked photos? Learn from Sister Zhou, or else you’ll be trampled to death by your peers. It’s your fate to be criticized for over-retouching!

Speaking of photos, it's been a while since I've seen the teacher take photos of people, and this fan of hers feels a bit empty! Isn't there a party at the end of the month? Can you ask her to take some official photos? I want to see [pointing fingers]

I heard a top women's magazine in the industry approached her, but I'm not sure if that's true. She's a bit inexperienced, but I think her skills are okay.

I just saw a post on a blog about a sullen-faced guy going to work, and when I opened the forum, I stumbled upon this thread. Big stars should get their act together. If they keep turning away customers offline, don't blame them for attracting fans! I have to say, Shao Zi is truly my internet posture guru! His ancient costume manners are amazing!
