138 Before the Tour (End)
Putting down the script in his hand, Song Qixian felt that he was both similar and different to Men Shan.
The similarity is that they both want to maintain a peaceful life. Menshan needs the recognition of others to live, while he needs to rely on the love of fans and friends to maintain a stable life.
The difference is that Song Qixian is not as extreme as Men Shan, but who knows, if he were in Men Shan's situation, he might not be able to do better than him.
At a certain moment, Song Qixian understood Men Shan very well.
Menshan just hopes that no one and nothing will destroy his current life.
The same goes for Song Qixian.
The filming of "Good and Evil" has been scheduled for next year. Song Qixian shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
Before the tour started, the five members of Kaleido spent almost every day and night in the practice room.
They have a tacit understanding and want to give fans who come to their concert for the first time a very good experience.
Park Yoo-eun's hair has grown a lot longer recently, but his dark skin won't return to white anytime soon, and the nickname "flower boy" is becoming increasingly distant from him. He has also become a regular MC for a major TV station.
Shen Minghe is already an adult, and as a self-proclaimed adult, he rewarded himself with a new set of gaming equipment.
Zhou Heyu went to a friend's dance studio to take a few classes. After coming back, he sighed that it was really not easy to run a dance studio.
Ming Shangyu wrote a new song that satisfied everyone for the first time, and the director decided to use it as a candidate for the main song for the group's next comeback.
Everyone is growing up slowly.
Lying on the floor of the practice room, Song Qixian sighed, "I really like my life now. Maybe a long, long time from now, I will still miss my 20s."
Park Yoo Eun continued, "So you're really satisfied, but I also like the present. Because the future is uncertain and the past cannot be retrieved."
Zhou Heyu came over and touched Park Yoo-eun's head. He felt a little disappointed when he found that it didn't have the texture of a buzz cut.
He asked, "What philosophical questions are you discussing?"
Shen Minghe, who was resting on Song Qixian's lap, said, "We're talking about yesterday, today, and tomorrow. What about you, He Yu, do you prefer the past, present, or future?"
Zhou Heyu: "As for me, I like the future. The future is full of surprises, and I believe that my future self will be even better than my present self."
Shen Minghe: "Yeah, who doesn't like the future? Not to mention the distant future, in 20 years I will also be a senior in the industry, and I won't have to bow to my seniors all day long."
Park Yoo Eun joked: "So you just like your future self to be more prestigious than your current self. Then you have to work hard. Twenty years from now, our group will be obsolete, and you might still treat your juniors with respect."
Shen Minghe was shocked: "No way? In twenty years, I'll be forty years old, an old man. Do I still have to please young people like this?"
Zhou Heyu also agreed with Park Youen's words: "Yes, if you are not well-known, there may still be many people who do not respect you. In our circle, being well-known has always been higher than being not well-known, even if you are a veteran."
Shen Minghe: "Then why do we still respect our seniors so much? Some of them have already become obscured."
Song Qixian: "That's because we're not famous enough. Besides, Minghe, do you want to be on the news?"
Shen Minghe: “?”
Song Qixian: "If we disrespect our seniors, it will be on the news. Then we will publicly apologize, the public will laugh at us, and our fans will be bullied by fans of other groups."
Shin Myung Hyuk: "Ah, forget it, I was just saying it. I'd better just be a well-behaved idol."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw his three brothers laughing secretly, and he didn't realize that he was being teased by his brothers.
After a while of playing, the four of them stood together in a circle, and the camera behind the concert captured this scene.
"I hope more people will come to see us. The big stage at the end of the year is really spectacular."
"I don't think it's going to happen that the tickets can't be sold even at a discounted price after being on sale for two hours."
“… Come on, our popularity isn’t that low.”
"Then I can invite my whole family. My sister was laughing at me a while ago."
"I'm going to invite my dad too. He'll be very happy."
"My brother probably doesn't want to come, and my parents might not be interested."
Song Qixian listened quietly to his teammates happily talking about their families, and wondered in his heart if it were him, would he hope that the people sitting in the audience were his relatives?
Soon, he got up and continued to practice.
Shen Minghe whispered, "Was Brother Qixian unhappy just now?"
"No, he's probably just a little sad."
After finishing the practice, Song Qixian looked at the strange yet familiar self in the mirror, his thoughts wandering far away.
When chatting with Che Zhihang, he rarely talked much about himself, but he knew that many of Che Zhihang's words were right.
Song Qixian is a contradictory person. He is not a kind and innocent person by nature. Many of the things he does are for profit.
What’s interesting is that whenever he wants to do something selfish, he will find many reasons.
It was as if he had to do this, as if the outside world forced him to do it.
This character trait subtly overlaps with Men Shan's.
Song Qixian didn't want to be associated with the word hypocrisy, but he couldn't help but think of it.
In daily life, Song Qixian always comes into contact with many people.
Some of them are staff members and some are fans.
Most people describe him as gentle and polite.
However, would they ever think that the so-called big star’s true nature is not like this, and everything is just a disguise?
He himself doesn't even know what he was like originally.
Do my fans like me in disguise or the real me?
Song Qixian fell into deep thought, which was meaningless.
Unfortunately, no one could answer him. The director's mother, who was familiar with his past appearance, had already passed away.
Song Qixian woke up again in the middle of the night and unconsciously uttered a word in the bubble.
Song Qixian: Why do you like it?
He regretted it as soon as he sent it out and had to frantically try to make up for it.
Song Qixian: Haha, I just dreamed about this question. I hope it won’t scare you?
Song Qixian: It’s true, fortunately it’s just a nightmare.
However, how could the sharp fans not notice his change of mind? They pretended not to see that Song Qixian was lying and replied to his messages with all their heart.
[Why do I like you? Liking someone is a completely irrational thing. Because you are you, you are Song Qixian, so I like you.]
[Superficially speaking, it was your appearance that attracted me. But the reason I fell in love with you is actually because I understand your soft heart.]
"Are you unhappy? That's why you're looking for our help. Let me tell you, one day, I saw you, my heart was moved, and I fell in love with you."
I like the smile you make when you see us. It is irreplaceable. You may not know that you are fragile and beautiful when you smile.
Song Qixian looked at it for a long time, and as he was looking at it, his phone fell on his face and hit his eye socket.
But he didn't feel any pain, he just felt a little happy.
He is obviously an idol, so why are his stars giving him psychological comfort?
When he woke up the next day, Song Qixian's emo mood was much better.
Before the rehearsal, Zhou Heyu handed him a cup of American coffee.
"Much better?"
Song Qixian looked puzzled.
Zhou Heyu smiled and said, "I noticed yesterday that you were in a bad mood, but you should have recovered a lot just now."
"Yeah, it's okay. I figured out some things."
"That's good. Otherwise, based on the intensity of your training yesterday, I was really afraid I'd be outdone by you."
Song Qixian smiled. Everyone knew Zhou Heyu's dancing skills. As for him, his kung fu skills could only be acquired through time and proficiency.
Seeing Song Qixian smile, Zhou Heyu didn't say much, patted his shoulder and left.
There is no need to explain the tacit understanding between the two.
Song Qixian did not lie, he did figure out some things.
For example, he doesn't need to worry about whether outsiders like him for who he really is or for his disguise.
No matter which one you like, each one is him.
He is unique.
Song Qixian uses this sentence to motivate himself and strengthen his inner beliefs.
Soon, tickets for Kaleido's tour began to be sold.
The situation that Shin Myung-hyuk described did not occur. All the tickets for the Seoul show were sold out within two minutes of being released.
Tickets in China sell faster, while tickets in Thailand, Singapore and other places sell a little slower.
Not only that, many fans on the official website were clamoring that they didn't get any tickets at all.
So the tour was extended.
It’s a happy thing for fans who are lucky enough to get tickets, but for some fans who can’t go to the event for various reasons, touring is the most annoying thing.
K-pop fans who often follow Korean groups know that touring is the beginning of misfortune.
I just hope that M Company will not abandon the donkey after it has served its purpose. Kaleido is in its rising period, so don't destroy it easily.
As the tour was about to start, his teammates were a little excited, but Song Qixian's heart became calmer.
"I was so excited when I thought about how many fans came just for the five of us. It was such a great feeling to carry the expectations of thousands of people on my shoulders!"
Shen Minghe was so happy that everyone in the car laughed when they heard him say this.
Indeed, just as many fans will never meet their favorite idols in person, the idols themselves will never meet every one of their fans.
But so what?
Love is real, expectation is real, short-term happiness is also happiness. Isn’t life made up of so many short-term joys?
Song Qixian received many blessing messages on his mobile phone.
There is Dean Song’s.
[If the old dean saw you like this, he would definitely be very happy.]
There are unknown people.
【May your dreams be true. 】
There are seniors and friends who I met during filming.
【Xiao Song is very good.】
Where's my ticket?
There are juniors I know in the company.
[Brother, I will definitely go to your first concert! ]
There were many messages, and Song Qixian replied to them one by one.
Before going on stage, I looked at the unanimous cheers of so many fans.
Song Qixian sincerely felt that he was very happy.
【Author’s words】
I feel like I can end it here, what do you think? Or if you have anything else you want to see, I'll give it a try.
