Chapter 469
"Wow, why is CCTV so generous this year?" In the crowd, Cheese stood on tiptoe to look at the people gathered in the square, turned around and spoke curiously to Qimiao beside him.
Surrounded by hundreds of people, a free lantern riddle-guessing event was being held. Though it wasn't yet dark, the bright red lanterns strung from tree branches and streetlights immediately captured the attention of everyone in the square.
"Let's divert everyone's attention?" Qimiao said after a moment's hesitation.
During previous rehearsals, fans could gather in person, holding banners and cheering. But today, things are completely different. Not only banners, but even hand-held signs and light sticks are not allowed into the venue; the control is extremely strict.
The fan club also posted a statement earlier this morning to emphasize this. While this was Ji Shao's first performance since disbanding, and fans were eager for the club to organize a support event, official rules must be followed.
After the disbandment, they communicated with fans of other members in Shinra's small group and confirmed that everyone had been notified by the agency. Then they unanimously decided to respond to the agency's call and give up today's support.
Being on CCTV is a rare opportunity, and we really can't let overly enthusiastic fans affect the members' development. However, if one group breaks the rules and disrupts the balance, I'm afraid that if there are such bans on cheering at future events, not many people will comply.
As the two chatted, little did they know that the generosity Cheese mentioned was actually something the station had recently confirmed. This fitting lantern riddle activity not only served to distract the audience and fans, but also sparked a lot of excitement among those who arrived early.
However, the station underestimated the fans' enthusiasm. Almost as soon as the staff were about to bring in the props, they found people waiting at the door. This was a relief; even the lantern riddle booth was built with the kind help of the fans present.
"The riddles are a bit difficult. Let's not join in the fun," Qimiao shook her head, then finally spoke out what she had been holding back all day. "By the way, sis, do you know why Teacher Xindong is in Jing City right now?"
The usual questioning a while ago was that everyone made cheese and went through the motions. Since Ji Shao's debut, Sister Xindong has had her own source of tickets, and occasionally even provides tickets to the fan club.
Then, everyone in the fan club heard from Cheese that Sister Xindong would not participate in this filming.
Qimiao couldn't imagine how much attention would be focused on NINE STAR after their first reunion performance. She was used to having an absolutely secure and reassuring supporter on every stage, so upon hearing this news, she naturally felt uneasy.
But Qimiao also knew that whatever was holding Xindong back must be something big. So when Cheese was about to leave both chocolates for Xindong, who couldn't come, she didn't hesitate to take out a chocolate that she couldn't bear to eat herself.
But just last night, Cheese received a message from Sister Xindong, saying that they could get together after the party if they had time.
Qimiao's mind was in a knot when she heard this. She couldn't understand why Sister Xindong was in Jing City, and why she didn't follow them into the venue to watch Ji Shao's performance...
Cheese scratched the back of her head; she didn't quite understand. But thinking about her sister's identity as a photographer, she had some vague guesses. She had a thought: Sister came to Beijing most likely to take photos of the artists' departures, so she didn't have time to attend the party.
When the time comes and we see which artist's departure photo will be the biggest hit, then we'll almost be sure who I'll be shooting for. As for whether there are photographers who can take better photos than Zhou Xiao, Cheese is very confident and can even pat his chest to assure everyone that his own Xindong teacher is definitely the best photographer, no doubt about it!
Because of her aesthetic, she stands out from thousands of fans, and no one can find any fault with her during the entire NINE STAR period!

Due to weather considerations and to ensure public safety, this year's CCTV Mid-Autumn Festival Gala red carpet will be held indoors. While the much-anticipated entrances will be missing, the simultaneous online livestream is still going strong.
Zhou Xiao leaned back in his comfortable office chair in the director's room, looking up at Ji Shao standing with the other members on the big screen. The nine young men, dressed in suits and ties, looked incredibly handsome. From the moment they walked onto the red carpet, gave a brief interview, and then exited the stage, the shutter clicks they heard on the live screen were like firecrackers, crackling non-stop.
The red carpet live broadcast was naturally also managed by the director. The director's room remained silent from the beginning of the live broadcast. Only Director Yang's voice could be heard from time to time, and all the staff were busy with their own work.
Zhou Xiao and his two "little followers" were naturally excluded, but they weren't idle either. They all watched the images on the large screen in the director's room intently. Besides, after the safety delay set by the station, this was firsthand information that no one else could see.
The glittering red carpet scene might seem dull on screen, but in the studio it was something new and exciting. Director Yang seemed to realize this, and when he noticed Zhou Xiao's excitement, he started to make things more interesting.
While the tricks weren't particularly fancy, it still had to be compared to the past! Zhai Yunshao, sitting in her chair, was stunned. No, had she missed something? But she still remembered Director Yang's serious expression as he watched Teacher Zhou perform to the end a few days ago.
Why is it that today, he's treating Teacher Zhou like a child? One is cutting shots, the other is looking at the big screen. It's incredible how well they work together.
After watching Zhou Xiao's palm-cutting performance that day, Yang Rao's expression remained serious. As a director herself, after watching the first rehearsal, she knew that a new training path might be needed for CCTV directors.
No amount of persuasion would be more acceptable without first seeing it firsthand. Yang Rao, who agreed with Du Huiyue, wasn't one to simply stick to the old ways. After realizing Zhou Xiao's skills, she immediately began to wonder whether she should send a group of talented broadcast directors abroad to study.
The reason why Zhou Xiao was not invited was naturally because Director Fang had already given her a heads-up. Yang Rao initially thought Fang Xi was an "old child", but after watching the rehearsal, she understood why he had called her.
She was simply worried that Yang Rao would lure Zhou Xiao to the station and prevent her from returning to her Fangxi production. As a director who had previously worked with Director Fang, Yang Rao naturally knew his personality. For a junior whom she admired, she wanted them to try more and learn more.
Yang Rao had a good impression of young people like Zhou Xiao, so after realizing that she was interested, she immediately took Zhou Xiao to play with the camera. When the last red carpet guest entered the venue and watched the host standing in front of the camera begin to thank the sponsors, Yang Rao waved to Zhou Xiao.
"Xiao Zhou, do you want to take a closer look?" After Yang Rao said that, she turned around and patted the empty chair beside her, beckoning Zhou Xiao to come over.
Zhou Xiao didn't hesitate at all. In just a few steps, she was seated securely. Being able to witness the opening of the evening party with Teacher Yang not only satisfied her curiosity, but was also a way to respond to the teacher's gentle kindness.
Soon, as the crowd gathered for the opening dance, Yang Rao immediately returned to her loud voice and seriousness.
"Prepare for the top shot, and follow up with the ground screen!"

Can the admins please ban all those [face-to-face nine-square grid] comparison posts on the front page? At a glance, NINE STAR takes up most of them [waves]. Can't the nine of them just start a thread and fight amongst themselves? Anyone else who encounters them is bound to lose [contempt.jpg]

The official program list has been released. It turns out that the program list leaked online is actually true. Ji Shaozhen even participated in the opening dance stage of [Sheep]. It seems that he will have no shortage of resources in this area after returning to Xincheng [laughing and crying]

Shao Zi is in such a good state among this group of people. All the artists should come and learn from him. He can disappear for about a month without gaining weight, inflating, or getting swollen... Don't be too self-disciplined.

I feel that [Sheep] has not only upgraded its stage this year, but also its camera shots have been highly rated. The director's cuts are all so beautiful! Sure enough, I still have to scold him, otherwise he will show us another ugly stage.

Holy crap! This "Ink Painting" stage is so beautiful it makes me want to cry! The dancers' movements and the blend of emotions are just perfect. But does anyone know the name of the dancer in the center position? She's absolutely stunning, and she really sets the stage!

Reply to 903L: Grip! My friend and I both screamed when we saw it. It was truly an incredibly stunning aesthetic! The director is so good at cutting. God-level scenes always appear inadvertently and are so beautiful that they make you cry. It's awesome!
