Chapter 119
On this day, the program team did not arrange any challenge projects.
After breakfast in the morning, we drove to nearby attractions. First, we visited the beautiful ancient city with thousands of years of history in the morning. After having lunch there, he was successfully recognized by fans and was forced to "escape" in a hurry on a bus.
In the afternoon, we went to the quiet spring at the foot of the mountain.
It is the off-season for tourism, so there are not many people at this attraction, and people stay longer than in the ancient city.
Here, Fu Wenzhe took a photo of Jie Xichao.
At that time, Xie Xichao met a little squirrel on the side of the road, so he squatted down and planned to take a picture of it.
The little squirrel was afraid of people, and the moment it made eye contact with Jie Xichao, it quickly slipped away. But it seemed to think that this human was particularly beautiful, so it did not run very far. It hid its body in the tree, but its pair of black eyes were still looking at the human under the tree.
Jie Xichao saw it and laughed.
In the photo, the sun is shining.
The young man's profile is delicate and gentle, with smiling eyes, like a painting.
This photo was posted by Fu Wenzhe on Weibo.
Ever since they came out to record a group variety show, they have rarely posted photos in order to keep their itinerary secret.
There was a lot of wailing from below.
"Ahh, my wife! My wife whom I haven't seen for a long time, where on earth did you go? (biting handkerchief)
"Are you in K City? Hahahaha, my friend ran into you guys and asked for your autographs. She said you were so handsome in person. There are a lot of fun places in K City. I look forward to the group show!"
"Oh my god, who is this? My CP either doesn't give me sweets or gives me big ones. Show off, right?"
"This Zhang Xichao is so beautiful, I want to kiss her madly!"
"What a good relationship... I can tell from the angle and content of the photo that they admire and like each other, wuwuwu TP for a lifetime!"
Fu Wen Ze finished reading it without changing his expression, then turned off the screen with satisfaction.
After Xie Xichao secretly took a photo of the little squirrel, he lowered his head to check Weibo and laughed: "Why are you secretly taking photos of me?"
"I just took the photo." Fu Wenze said, "Let's go, they are urging us."
Xie Xichao nodded.
The two of them left the quiet path together and returned to the gathering place.
As the sun set, their journey for the day came to an end.
The last stop is also the last filming location for their entire group variety show.
The sea.
-
It was almost dark when we reached the beach.
The program crew set up the equipment, set up a few tents nearby, and began to call people in one by one to record their speeches. Each person spends a long time inside, as if they have to read an entire math textbook.
"Why is it a mathematics textbook?" Ai Qingyuan asked in confusion.
"Of course it's because Brother Xichao is writing his graduation thesis recently." Yun Pan said affirmatively.
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Wenzhe and Zou Yi came out and the two of them were called in.
Xie Xichao looked at Zou Yi and said:
"Tell the truth."
Zou Yi avoided answering and said, "Let me help you build the castle."
So the three boys, who were as old as they were now, sat down together and began to play with the sand seriously.
The castle was half built and it was finally Jie Xichao's turn. He entered the tent.
There was paper and pen on the table.
The director said, “I won’t do the interview anymore.”
Xie Xichao looked at him: "So?"
The director is happy.
After a moment, he said, "Write something. Write what you want to write, for your teammates, for your future."
The most common sensational segment in variety shows.
This is a group show. There must be an ending in the end.
Xie Xichao had expected this.
He picked up the pen, with the fresh scent of the sea breeze still on his body.
The camera was running silently on the side. Soon, the papers were filled, gathered up, and put into the envelope with the name on it.
*
The final moment is a moment of carnival.
We had barbecued seafood for dinner. The small yellow croaker and oysters were sizzling on the rack.
There were several cans of juice on the table, but the people drinking the juice looked like they were drunk. Ai Qingyuan even dragged out his boss's speakers and sang a song, but because his throat was too sticky, his voice broke halfway through the song.
Yun Pan shouted at him from a distance: "Brother Qingyuan - you are going to be cut again -"
He returned to his peak period once. During a variety show, Ai Qingyuan was not in good condition and he sang the high notes badly. The haters finally seized the opportunity and included this part in all kinds of strength comparison videos. Ai Qingyuan was so angry that his face was sour that week.
The sea breeze blew over, and it was Ai Qingyuan's voice that broke through his defense: "Just do it - I'm the dance leader -!"
Zou Yi said painfully, "Director, this part really needs to be cut. Please."
Sitting next to him was Fu Wenzhe.
Two people were bored and played a game of throwing dice to compare points. Whoever got the bigger point had to drink a sip of Want Want milk. They requisitioned Xichao's dice. Their real intention is not to drink, they just want to see how evil this thing is.
As a result, problems really occurred.
Zou Yilian threw three "1s" and heaved a sigh of relief: "I knew there was something wrong with this dice!"
After a while, Fu Wenze threw "123" in a row, and he said affirmatively:
"Yes, you are right."
Jie Xichao, who was standing by, looked into the eyes of the aggrieved little dice.
After a moment, he could no longer endure it and said, "Don't blame others for your bad luck!"
There was chaos and the sound of the night tide and laughter filled my ears. When the atmosphere reached its climax, Yun Pan hugged Jie Xichao, his face flushed red by the wind, and his whole body hung on him, as if he had just turned eighteen.
He said: "Thank you for saving me back then, woooo..."
The child is drunk on milk.
What can Xie Xichao do?
He sighed, picked up the person and held him in his arms.
Turning his head, Zou Yi looked at him, the stars in the sky reflected in his eyes.
Xie Xichao was scared, he said: "Teacher Zou..."
You won't come too, will you? !
He is most afraid of sensationalism. I haven’t dared to watch the video of my debut in the talent show for a second time. Not only was he scared because his eyes were almost red at that time, but also the teammates who followed him and thanked him as the central word.
Zou Yi said nothing.
Xie Xichao breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he turned around and received the letter sent to him by the director team.
-
The letter was sent last, when all the excitement finally came to an end.
A few lights support the entire shed. The papers were distributed to everyone with the chill of the late night. The above has been cut out, and each person has in their hands a letter written by their teammates, as well as their own blessings for the future.
When Jie Xichao opened it, the first thing he saw was the expectations he had set for himself.
Eight very simple words:
Don’t forget your original intention and keep working hard.
He has always been a person who focuses on the present.
For him, the past cannot be retrieved and the future is unpredictable. Only the present is something that can be grasped.
He is content with the present moment.
Then he looked down.
The talent show group has a unique culture, no matter what they do, they must be ranked.
The first letter after him was from Ai Qingyuan.
His first words were:
Towards.
Just these two words made Jie Xichao happy.
He could almost imagine the tone in which Ai Qingyuan said this.
In fact, it’s not just Jie Xichao, the entire TP group is not very good at the sensational style.
He is not the only one who dares not look back at that talent show video. At this moment, facing the white letter paper, and the teammates who have been with me for nearly three years, even though we have been together day and night, even though we have long been regarded as family...
Everything written down on paper is just some dry words.
Ai Qingyuan said: "Although so much time has passed, I still haven't surpassed you. But you must be vigilant, because one day, I might really surpass you quietly."
Yun Pan said: "Brother Xi Chao, I want to eat delicious TT with you for the rest of my life."
Fu Wenze said: "Eat well, sleep well, and take good care of yourself."
Zou Yi said...
The sea breeze was silent beside his ears as he read the last line of words.
Zou Yi said:
We, Xichao, just hope we can always do what we want to do happily.
*
The wind is very cool at night, especially when you are on the balcony.
It was past midnight, TP’s episode of “Challenge! The recording of "Impossible" has been completed.
Xie Xichao and Zou Yi stood on the balcony of his room. Not far away were mountains and rivers hidden in the night. On the path below, the night breeze blew up the fallen leaves on the ground, making a soothing, slight rustling sound.
Xie Xichao curled up in the rattan chair and said in a low voice:
"When did you know?"
"After you finished negotiating with Sheng Hong," Zou Yi said, "the company contacted me. They said you told Sheng Hong that you wanted to quit the group and become an actor."
He paused and added, "Yida."
This is his own company.
When Zou Yi first debuted, the company hardly helped him, it was all up to him on his own. It was not until TP's debut album topped the charts that he became a key artist of the company and had a certain say. Yida will also help him to get some resources.
This is the current situation of 99% of artists and management companies in the entertainment industry.
To put it bluntly, when they are obscure, they are puppets, and only when they become famous will they become a community of interests.
Xie Xichao thought of his arrogant remarks at the beginning and paused for two seconds: "Actually, I..."
Zou Yi said: "No need."
"No need to explain." He said, "Xi Chao."
Gentle and tender.
So Xie Xichao fell silent.
He listened to Zou Yi slowly telling him how he had told the company and how he had discussed it with other teammates. The teammates, who usually have different personalities, were surprisingly consistent in their opinions on this point.
That is:
As long as Xie Xichao is happy.
That blessing on paper was Zou Yi's personal blessing.
It is also his blessing on behalf of the entire team as captain.
"Everyone has seen how hard you've worked these past two years." He looked at Jie Xichao and smiled gently, "Everyone knows how the company treats you. So, Xichao, no need to explain."
He said: "Even if you really choose to quit the group, we can accept it."
He paused, "Besides, you chose to stay, didn't you?"
At this moment, all the reasons for my hesitation to speak these days became clear.
Why did Fu Wenzhe ask him to bring his guitar, and why did he tell him that the sky wouldn't fall and he shouldn't work so hard. Why did Zou Yi pause for a moment when he mentioned the 20th grade?
He always thought it was just normal concern. But he never thought that behind every word here, he was talking to him:
Go boldly and don't worry about anything.
Because we'll be behind you.
forever.
-
The day ended with a hug.
Xie Xichao said to Zou Yi: "Teacher Zou, I want a hug."
Zou Yi came over and let him lean on his waist. In late autumn, the feeling of body temperature through clothes is particularly obvious. Xie Xichao's voice was buried in Zou Yi's gray sweatshirt, muffled: "I passed the audition."
He said, “I tried it myself.”
It seems like he is showing off, and also like he is taking credit.
Zou Yi smiled and said, "Very good, very impressive."
He pinched the back of Jie Xichao's neck and said, "I could tell you were talented when you were filming the MV."
Like coaxing a child.
Xie Xichao's laughter was muffled in his throat.
Then he said, “I will take good pictures.”
He never talks too much. Thank you, or maybe you’re touched.
He only makes promises.
This is not only a promise to the contract, but also a promise to himself and the prefix before his name.
He will take good pictures.
Under the name of Xie Xichao, under the identity of TP-Xie Xichao.
TP is the miracle of the draft and also the ceiling of idols. Regardless of whether it is a combination or a solo, the chapter is still being written. Just like the theme of this group show——
This time, it's just a new challenge.
*
On the second day after the group variety show filming ended, all members of TP set off back to City A.
On the way back, they received a warm welcome from fans. Surrounded by countless reporters, the five TP members boarded the return bus.
Then, it’s time to work overtime on editing.
The final effect of this group variety show was beyond expectations. The production crew kept editing, and they were reluctant to throw away this shot or that shot. In the end, the original three episodes of six hours were expanded to nine hours.
This time, I happily became a TP fan.
On the day the first episode was broadcast, Jing Jin sat in front of the computer holding a bowl.
Just five minutes after eight o'clock, there were already thousands of barrages. While she was secretly complaining about these people who had nothing to do all day long but just looked at her husbands (well, one of them was her brother), she was also staring at the screen.
The first scene at the beginning is the villa they are familiar with.
When the director team asked what they expected, the barrage of alarm bells rang.
[I bet the production team must have some bad ideas in mind]
[Ahhh, the kids are so pitiful and well-behaved. I couldn’t help laughing when I saw the subtitles of the tidbits at the end.]
[Don’t trust the production team, ouch]
The scene changed and cut to the dead silence in the nanny car.
The comments were so funny.
【《I Know It》】
[Xiao Ai, your face is pale, is there something on your mind?]
[Ahhh, I also want to be fed little oranges by Chao Chao! Feed me every morning TT】
All of this gloating reached a new peak when TP officially started the challenge.
When the bug feast came out, the barrage had gone crazy along with TP.
[Ahhh, my mind tells me that these are all edible, but I really can’t accept it]
[+1, especially when thinking about what they looked like when they were alive]
[Fuck, little dice recommends itself hahaha]
[I'm not saying this, but this dice is really like a spirit. It was like his little pet during the talent show. I hope it won't show up again this time.]
[Help... It really is, the little dice has done a great job! 】
[The way she wants to laugh but can’t is so cute, mommy kiss me]
In addition, the rest of the projects also received extremely high ratings.
Everyone screamed along with TP and said:
There should be more shows like this.
What?
Call it a prank?
They just want to see more materials. What bad intentions do fans have?
-
In addition to this, another factor that made this group variety show soar in popularity was, of course, the CP hodgepodge.
Among them, the most ecstatic ones are the fans who love to ship the Jie Xichao CP.
In fact, everyone can see from their debut that although TP is a group with a large gap in popularity and fans fight from time to time, Jie Xichao, as the core of the concept and the top, shows no signs of being excluded.
On the contrary, he is the one who is pampered by almost everyone in TP.
Those older than him include Fu Wenzhe and Zou Yi.
Basically he looks like an older brother.
The latter was criticized by countless people when he first served as captain, but two years later, he is almost the least criticized person in TP fan circle.
Everyone can see how hard the captain works, especially when there are children on the team.
Fu Wenzhe, as Jie Xichao's creative partner, although taciturn, has taken good care of Jie Xichao over the years. I have covered you with coats countless times and coaxed you countless times during creative discussions.
In the words of CP fans: "Cool guy doesn't talk, but cool guy loves you, how can this not be a sweet and loving relationship."
As for those younger than Jie Xichao, there is no need to mention Yun Pan.
In this group variety show, Yuan Chaoyuan, who was originally "untied" by Sheng Hong's forced editing due to his high popularity, once again let himself go under the editor of the program team.
When the midnight video went viral, CP fans went crazy.
[What are you doing... Tell mom what you are doing...]
[You did it, you did it, I said, oh, it’s not a big deal, ahhh mom, my CP climbed into bed in the middle of the night! 】
[Too shocking, they hugged each other when they entered the door, 1 fan 2 fan please make peace, you hit me and I hit me and your brothers hugged each other in the middle of the night, help, Ai Qingyuan, do you remember what you said during the game? Is this how you treat your old enemy? 】
I was so excited at the moment that it didn't affect the next scene where I was bungee jumping and everyone was laughing like crazy because of Jie Xichao's actions.
Amid Ai Qingyuan’s wails, the number of comments making “gee, gee, gee” laughs reached a new and terrifying height. He didn't give Ai Qingyuan any face at all.
Of course, the funniest scene of all is the quarrel during the rainforest hike.
Almost as soon as everyone declared war on each other, the barrage of comments began to repeat the same sentence in unison.
[Stop fighting!] Chao Chao is mine! 】
Some people also complained.
[Those who know that we are in the same group, those who don’t think we are going to throw the bouquet to each other. I say that even if you separate, you can go together at the end of the day just to take care of each other. Is it necessary? 】
[No... Why do I feel that Chao is not that weak? Does it need protection from you little weaklings? 】
This sentence seemed like a prophecy. The next moment, the scene switched and everyone saw the calm Jie Xichao and the breathless Yun Pan beside him.
And the bag in Jie Xichao's hand.
Barrage: “…”
So what were you arguing about just now?
*
——Just like that, relying on a group variety show, TP and the program team once again reached a mutually beneficial and win-win situation.
The program team and sponsors gained popularity and traffic, and TP also fully demonstrated everyone's personality and their unmistakable and close relationship in the group variety show.
In the last episode, everyone’s handwritten letters to each other were released and posted online by fans.
Some people say blessings for the future, while others recall the past.
Then everyone discovered that those unforgettable moments and those delicate thoughts are not only possessed by fans.
The little idols they like also miss the past, cherish the present, and look forward to the future.
It is not a yearning for honor, but a more down-to-earth expectation for a better future and a positive optimism.
A fan left a message during the closing period:
“Why do I like TP? It is undeniable that they have strong strength and very impressive talent. But what attracted me to the fandom was actually just the way they smiled on stage.
What is the power of idols?
Isn’t it just dreaming?
Create a dream that you can reach the light by reaching out, and also create a beautiful paradise.
Glad I liked TP.
In the past two years, this troupe has never neglected its performance or performed in a perfunctory manner. Even when the schedule was the most tiring, it insisted on completing all activities. What we are most grateful for is that what they leave us is always happiness and joy. I once regretted that this was a limited group, and I also pondered the meaning of forming a group because of some quarrelsome remarks.
But at this moment, I feel that nothing matters anymore.
Just like Chao Chao said, don’t forget your original intention and keep working hard.
Whether you are TP babies or fans, cheer up, keep your original intentions, and face the unknown life bravely.
at last--
I always love The Phoenix! ”
That night, the last sentence became a hot topic.
Below, all TP fans were posting the same sentence in unison, and it became the number one trending search with beautiful memories of the group variety show’s closing night.
