Chapter 79
A meet-and-greet is a custom before the finals of "Super Rookie".
The remaining fifteen contestants will hold a fan meeting after three eliminations. During the first half, the contestants will go through the process together, play games and interact with each other, while the second half will be face-to-face communication and interaction with their fans.
This is equivalent to a disguised autograph session, except that the method is not to purchase the album, but to distribute it through a lottery by the fan club.
It was nothing. Jie Xichao had experienced many autograph sessions before when he traveled through various small worlds, but this was the first time he used his own body as an idol. Although he was a little uncomfortable, he could still adjust.
...If you want to blame someone, blame Ai Qingyuan.
I don't know what's wrong with this guy recently. He pays special attention to his makeup and activities at the fan meeting. He even ran to remind his fans when passing by the iron gate, saying that he is usually too cold and they can take this opportunity to tease him.
"Am I aloof?" he asked Ai Qingyuan.
The other party said: "No."
Then quickly added, “But not approachable either.”
"It's hard to describe." Ai Qingyuan said mysteriously.
Xie Xichao:?
He didn't know what Ai Qingyuan meant by "difficult to describe", he just thought it was ridiculous.
The most ridiculous thing was that the people around him who were on good terms with him actually followed Ai Qingyuan in making trouble. At this moment, the whole world, including the fans, knew that the main target to tease at the fan meeting was Jie Xichao.
Or maybe they were already eager to try.
Xie Xichao didn't expect Fu Wenzhe to get involved. He said, "... wear whatever you want."
Very lacking in confidence.
"Say this to your fans." Fu Wen Ze said.
Xie Xichao: “…”
"I heard it's not just a headband." Fu Wenzhe continued, "There are also various decorations. Anyway, you will become a doll."
Xie Xichao: “…”
He knows!
And is it really appropriate to say such strange things in such a serious tone...
He said decisively: "You will too."
Fu Wenze said: "I can accept it."
Xie Xichao:?
"I lost." Fault C, who had just won the title for the second time, said this sincerely. Fu Wenzhe smiled and took out the key to open the dormitory door.
-
Although they may complain in their hearts, the trainees still cherish the opportunities to meet their fans as there are not many.
There is still some time before the finals, so Xie Xichao didn't look for anyone outside. He formed a team with three people in his dormitory and worked on the entertainment programs for the first half.
But soon, he began to regret this decision.
Fu Wen Ze and Ai Qingyuan seemed to be born incompatible. They started arguing when they discussed the songs to be played. One said to make something handsome, and the other said, "Are you not handsome enough on stage?"
Xie Xichao got a headache after hearing this.
"I'll decide," he said. "I'll decide, that's all."
So both of them had no objection.
Jie Xichao silently looked through the inventory and finally decided on a medley of songs.
Fu Wenzhe and Ai Qingyuan sang ballads, and he sang rap. Simple, but inverted. After all, their primary goal now is to debut, so it is more important to demonstrate their strength.
As for variety shows, there are plenty of opportunities after debut, and other games can also show variety show sense.
The two of them really came to their senses, especially Fu Wen Ze.
He sang rap in three performances in a row, all in the style of a boy band.
Although the advantages are highlighted, it does lack surprise and freshness.
There is no need to mention Ai Qingyuan.
The two began to concentrate on practicing the song that Jie Xichao had picked.
Gradually, the two people's work and rest schedules began to be synchronized with Jie Xichao, forming a regular schedule of 11 pm and 7 am. Every day, they went in and out of the bathroom together like elementary school students, which amazed their fans.
Every day, there are people grumbling under the pictures of my going to and from get off work.
"Has our Xiao Ai taken the wrong medicine recently? Can he get up at seven o'clock?"
"Fuck, I was forced to get up early. I was told that I didn't get to squat there the past two days. Then I asked other girls at other stations and found out that they went to bed early and got up early these past two days. It was like military training. It was really weird."
"His roommate seems to be the same. After Brother Heng left, Xiao Ai must have worked harder."
"…CP fans, can you please stop being ky and get lost"
On the other side, here is the picture of Fu Wen Ze’s fans.
"What's wrong with Brother Fu recently? He always keeps doing what I do when the moon is up."
"Yes, he's so rebellious that he can wait until he gets off work at 11 o'clock at night. Don't scare me to death."
"It seems that the family next door, Aqy, is also..."
The two families got together and thought, wow.
No one’s schedule matched that of the third person in the dormitory.
The third person’s fans were delighted.
"Hey, early to bed and early to rise means good health."
"I won't sleep until the moon goes to sleep. If the moon goes to sleep, then we should sleep with it!"
"What you said above is weird..."
"I say you two families should send pennants to our dynasty! Physical condition is very important with the final coming up. Our dynasty is beautiful and kind-hearted."
The next day, a fan from Fu Wen Ze's family really sent Li Xichao a banner as a joke.
There has never been any conflict between the two families. Fu Wen Ze's goal is to make his debut, while Jie Xichao's goal is to compete for the C position. Now their relationship is good, and the fans - Fu Wen Ze's fans - are also happy to see it happen.
Xie Xichao’s fans weren’t too happy though.
It’s just that the fan base is large, and there are always some people who like to watch the real person interact with others, so it can be considered as a way to make a living.
And so it went until the day of the meet-up.
*
On the day of the meeting, Xie Xichao wore dark colors, which was rare.
The upper body is a black cotton velvet sweatshirt, and the lower body is khaki trousers. It is a low-key outfit but looks warm and loose.
He put on makeup in front of the mirror. Since it was a meet-and-greet event, he didn't put on much makeup. He just used lipstick to improve his complexion and drew his eyebrows.
Even so, the person in the mirror looked fair, delicate, gentle and beautiful.
Makeup artist: "Hand over your skincare secrets."
Xie Xichao said seriously: "Early to bed and early to rise makes a healthy body."
He stood up and followed everyone out to board the bus to the venue. The weather was very good that day, and the scenery along the way was covered with sunshine, which made people feel happy just by looking at it.
When we arrived, fans were already waiting in line.
They went in through the back door, and someone exclaimed, "There are so many people."
It’s really a lot.
The venue for this meeting is very large. In addition to the 50 interactive spots for each company, there are also several hundred seats for the audience, after all, the first half will be on the stage. At this moment, looking at the square outside, you can see all kinds of colorful things displayed by various families for support.
Of course, there were also fans who dressed up specially and held colorful banners.
Xie Xichao’s support was placed in the most conspicuous position. The support color was green, which was quite aggressive. However, at least the fans chose the refreshing mint green, and did not make it into a dice-like fluorescent green.
Placed in the front of the flower wall is a huge dice made of cloth.
Xie Xichao smiled as soon as he saw it, and whispered to the small dice in his pocket:
"Here, your kind."
The little pet in the pocket: "..."
Please don't compare me to a lifeless dead object!
It angrily pointed the number "2" upwards, but Jie Xichao knew its temper well and didn't even want to look into his pocket. He just walked into the venue leisurely with it in his pocket.
After a brief rehearsal, the meeting officially began.
-
Today's host is still Dou Yu.
This active idol is so skilled in hosting and has a gentle personality that the program crew treats him like a brick to be moved wherever he is needed.
Of course, this kind of thing is a win-win situation.
Dou Yu has been on the show for so long that he has attracted quite a few fans.
He was dressed casually today and when he went on stage the fans cheered.
When you look at real people up close, the beauty of good-looking people becomes even more obvious.
He smiled and said, "Everyone is very enthusiastic today."
The fans in the audience were bold and said, "Teacher Dou, can we sit on the stage together later? We also want to interact with you."
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter.
Dou Yu also laughed and said, "It's not impossible."
After a brief chat, the trainees went on stage, and this time the screams were noticeably louder.
Compared with the last time, this time, Jie Xichao's treatment was much better.
As the C, his position was arranged in the center of the stage. During the opening talk session, he was cueed by Dou Yu to ask questions the most times. The unknown efforts made behind the scenes finally became known in this simple and relaxed conversation.
Xie Xichao's fans in the audience were filled with emotion.
Next, there was the report performance.
Fans didn't have high expectations for this part at first, but they were still amazed by the performance of Jie Xichao's team.
The medleys are all composed of the most familiar songs. What was surprising was the division of parts. The original dancer was sent to sing the high notes, the original rapper sang the chorus of the lyrical song affectionately, and the original...
Well, Xie Xichao is the ACE, so theoretically he should know everything.
But no one could have imagined that he could actually rap!
He sang very fiercely.
The man who was dressed softly had a soft voice. He was just talking calmly about his creative process, but now he started rapping in his cotton fleece sweatshirt without even saying hello.
His rap is very unfamiliar from the lyrics to the beat, and the audience can probably guess that this is his original song.
It is a common thing for Xie Xichao to write his own songs, but apart from that, the rhythm and breath of his rap are very steady, and the words are clear, which is very comfortable both from a listening perspective and from a professional perspective.
Another 30 seconds.
In the previous 30 seconds, Jie Xichao used a sword dance to make everyone realize the infinite possibilities behind this name, and in these 30 seconds, he confirmed the infinity of this possibility.
His rap ended and Fu Wen Ze sang the next song.
The perfect transition between the two voices gives everyone's eardrums the ultimate enjoyment.
While Fu Wen Ze was singing, Xie Xichao finally came back to his senses from concentrating on rapping with the microphone and smiled at the audience. He walked back casually following the rhythm of the music, with a relaxed posture and expression.
It’s another kind of ease.
On the other side, Fu Wenzhe finished singing and Ai Qingyuan took over.
The three people who had never worked together before suddenly seemed to have formed the rudiments of a group.
After the brief performance report, the audience was stunned for a while.
*
A fan meeting is not like a performance. The prohibition of repo and recording video at the performance is to avoid leaking the content of the performance in advance, but as soon as the fan meeting is over, there will be all kinds of fan photos, and the audience is not asked to put away their mobile phones.
As soon as Xie Xichao's group finished their performance, a text repo appeared immediately on the other side.
"Report! It's rap! Super stable!"
“Aaaaaaah Chao Chao is rapping! He’s in a group with Xiao Ai and Brother Fu, singing a medley, and they have such good coordination!”
"I am so excited... Ai Qingyuan and Jie Xichao thought that after the first public performance, you two would never perform together on stage again in your life!"
"Rap Chao! I want to see it! Ahhh, here's the fan photo, here's my big fan photo!"
The fan photos were uploaded in a short time. Due to size restrictions, the first part to spread was Jie Xichao's short rap. Fans were in tears, and they were all thinking about showing off their idols’ abilities at fan meetings, and it was obvious they wanted them to debut.
So while brushing the materials, the daily voting began in full swing.
At this moment, Xie Xichao didn't know that he was on the way to becoming famous again.
He was sitting silently, in front of him was a long table that was put together and connected. The staff were laying tablecloths and placing water on it. In ten minutes, the second half of the meeting would officially begin.
As the second, Ai Qingyuan naturally sat next to him.
He said, "Don't be nervous."
Xie Xichao: “…”
"I'm not nervous," he said.
Speak clearly and in a steady voice. Same as when he raps.
Ai Qingyuan sometimes admired his calmness. So he readily changed the way he put it: "Then could you please not act like you're about to be forced into prostitution?"
The staff member nearby heard this, his hands trembled, and he turned his head silently——
So as not to laugh out loud.
Jie Xichao smiled and stretched out his hand without changing his expression.
The next second, Ai Qingyuan felt the most sensitive spot on his waist being poked unexpectedly. He jumped up suddenly and looked at the frightened fans in the audience.
Ai Qingyuan: “…”
Xie Xichao calmly pulled him down: "Sorry, he's a little nervous."
The fans in the audience showed understanding expressions.
Ai Qingyuan couldn't laugh when the boomerang stabbed him. He was about to say something through gritted teeth, but fans were already lining up to enter the venue, so he had to swallow his words.
-
Xie Xichao suddenly came to his senses.
He thought it was really no big deal.
Although he always feels that he is in his early twenties and really shouldn't act cute like he was seventeen or eighteen, but since fans like to watch it, then let them watch it. You won’t lose any weight by being cute.
His first fan to come on stage was a young girl in her early twenties.
In her hand she held a kitty headband.
There is a kitten hairpin on the headband, and next to it is a pair of fluffy cream-colored simulated cat ears, which is soft and cute.
The girl was facing her idol in person for the first time. She looked very nervous and said, "Brother Chao, I have liked you for a long time! I have voted for you since you sang "World" on your first stage!"
That's quite early.
Resolve evening and morning thoughts.
After all, at that time he was still a cannon fodder in the eyes of the public.
He said seriously, "Thank you."
Perhaps it was because his tone was too sincere that the little girl became even more excited. Each person had about a minute and a half to speak. She spent thirty seconds stumbling over her mental journey. Jie Xichao listened the whole time and signed her poster.
When he heard her say that she was under a lot of pressure from the exams at that time, he thought for a moment and added a blessing of "academic success".
The little girl was moved.
The two chatted for a while. The girl took out the cat ears and said shyly, "Can I wear these? The sisters in the group all want to see you wear these, they think it will be very cute."
Jie Xichao paused and took it.
The headband is the right size, soft to the touch and of great quality.
Xie Xichao couldn't see his own appearance. After putting it on, he said for the first time in an unnatural tone:
“…Is it crooked?”
He felt a little crooked.
The little girl's eyes lit up: "It's crooked!"
Xie Xichao: “…”
ah?
He doesn't know what he looks like now.
The young man has a fair complexion and looks almost pure without makeup. He has a boyish appearance to begin with, and the black hair makes him look even younger, as if he has returned to the days of the tenor singer in "Stand By".
But now, the long and thin headband disappeared in his hair, leaving only two furry kitten ears.
The cat ears are lifelike, crooked and cute in a childish way, as if they were really growing on his head.
Coupled with Xie Xichao's rare embarrassed look, really...
The little girl covered her mouth.
It’s so cute!
Fortunately, she has already found a photographer for herself! When she gets back, she will keep these photos forever!
The first fan left with a happy smile. Leaving behind Jie Xichao with a confused look on his face. Half a minute later, the next fan was sitting in front of him, holding a stuffed rabbit ear mask in her hands.
*
This fan is already working and is a white-collar worker in a company.
Her personality is obviously much calmer.
At the beginning, she briefly said what she wanted to say, including that many people love you, if you are not in good health, you should pay attention to rest and not be too tired, and everyone likes every performance of yours.
The unnatural expression on Jie Xichao's face faded away and he listened very attentively.
Putting aside the cuteness factor, he actually likes this opportunity very much.
This kind of meeting will turn the fans who are usually buried behind the fan names into living, concrete people, allowing him to more clearly feel the fans' love and expectations for him.
But the good times didn't last long and the conversation ended again.
When he saw the fans taking out the bunny ears, he finally couldn't help himself: "...Do you have any misunderstandings about me?"
Is it because his second husband is not wild enough?
The fan in front of him said seriously: "Teacher Jie, no matter how big your collar is, in the eyes of the mother fans, you are still a baby."
Three-year-old baby Xie Xichao: “…”
He resigned himself to wearing the bunny ears.
The fans' eyes lit up.
She said, "Can you prick up your ears for a moment?"
Xie Xichao:?
Ai Qingyuan on the side couldn't help it finally, he quickly stepped forward and pulled the rope beside his face. The next second, Jie Xichao clearly felt something above his head "swish" standing up.
The mature, rational, wise and calm female fan covered her mouth and let out a painful sound.
Xie Xichao: “…”
He tried to kill his roommate with his eyes, and Ai Qingyuan looked very satisfied with his revenge.
He said, "Teacher Xie, sometimes you should reflect on yourself."
The fans he has met so far all ask him to show off.
At this moment, he was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, looking like a ruffian who had gone against the grain.
Jie Xichao turned his head away with a blank expression. The rabbit ears drooped as he moved, and lay limply on his forehead.
The third one is bear ears.
-
In a blink of an eye, half of the 30 fans had arrived, and Jie Xichao felt like he had cosplayed an entire zoo.
Of course, there are others. For example, some other strange little props, wreaths, crowns and so on. In short, he felt that he had really become a doll like Fu Wenzhe.
Xie Xichao...
Xie Xichao couldn't understand it, but he respected and accepted it.
By the end, he had become more proficient. When a fan asked Chaochao if he could meow, he could also meow without changing his expression. Ai Qingyuan, who was standing aside, got goosebumps all over his body. He turned his head and saw Jie Xichao's calm and composed expression. This time he was really impressed.
Xie Xichao adheres to the principle that as long as you don't care, the cute little thing on your head doesn't exist. His business skills are getting better and better, and his ability to act cute is getting more and more perfect.
Seeing that the crowd was almost at the end, he finally breathed a sigh of relief without making a sound.
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a familiar person appeared before him.
The girl was dressed in gaudy clothes, as if she had just rolled out of an overturned paint bucket. She came in and put on the most exquisite makeup in Li Xichao's memory. Her eyelashes were thick and long. Li Xichao conservatively estimated that she had applied it two or three times.
She was holding a huge bag in her hands, and all kinds of props inside were vying to pop out, as if they were trying to squeeze out of the bag to see the scenery outside.
Xie Xichao even saw a veil inside.
His face was stiff and the corners of his mouth twitched as he watched the girl sit down in front of him.
"Good morning." The other party greeted cheerfully.
Xie Xichao said: "...Good morning."
"We are very familiar with each other, so there is no need to exchange pleasantries." Jing Jin untied the bag and took out the props from it, while saying in a frank and devilish tone, "Time is limited, so let's get started quickly."
