Chapter 51
It was said before that they got along well within the group, which was not as bad as it was during the competition. However, many fans didn’t believe it, even those who were fans of the group.
The main reason is that I have seen too many groups fighting overtly and covertly, and I feel that most of them are just for business purposes, and being able to maintain superficial harmony is already very good.
In fact, they have a really good relationship.
Because many things are done together after discussion, no matter who carries whom, it can all be fun. Sometimes it is difficult to write a script for a variety show, and it would be boring if it was written and recited directly. But when familiar people get together and there is no burden, it is easy to produce some effects in simple segments.
Well, it’s easy to find a couple.
The CPs in Glory are almost a hodgepodge, and anyone seems to be a good match. After all, there are no ones who get along badly. There are many CP fans who just want to join in the fun, and after a while, it becomes quite interesting.
"It's already time to recite, why don't you let him go? Reuters is still reciting."
"It's so funny. Who said before that 1 and 2 were fighting overtly and secretly and disliked each other? They are obviously very happy."
"Report! Now that the person has been put down, 1 feels a little embarrassed and pushes 2 after coming down. This is the legendary open and secret struggle, right?"
The other members also started to buy things in a noisy manner. The time limit for going out to buy things in the group variety show is only one hour. One reason is the requirement of the variety show, and the other is that they are afraid that if they stay here too long, the fans will hear the news and squeeze over, which will affect them.
The funds are provided by the program team. The team funds are kept by Qu Shoubai, and everyone also has their own money, which is drawn from red envelopes before departure. The amounts vary.
In addition to buying what they want, they also have to plan with each other to buy the necessary ingredients for the plan, because they will cook for the guests later.
The four dishes ordered by the "guests" were common dishes such as boiled beef, stir-fried shrimps with seasonal vegetables, and cola chicken wings. The only more complicated one was the squirrel fish. Overall, they didn't make things too difficult for them, as they didn't get any Buddha Jumps Over the Wall or anything like that.
However, there are a total of eleven people having dinner tonight, including them. These few dishes are definitely not enough for so many people, so they have to come up with some on their own.
None of these seven people know how to cook, and the kitchen in the villa has basically never been used. All the food is delivered from outside. However, the program team has prepared a teaching video, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
There are also quite simple mini-games during the purchasing process. The little idols quickly found the clues in the process. There is a clue in the mini-game before departure, which contains the lyrics of the theme song of the fourth idol group, and the clue is very obvious.
Oh, the theme song feels like it’s from the people I competed with in the past.
The clue about the guest's identity found by Zhou Heng was "Zhoushan", a place name.
He guessed as soon as he saw it: "Is it Liu Hao and his friends? I guessed it when I heard the dish they ordered was boiled beef. He likes this dish very much. When he introduced himself, he even said that his specialty is boiled beef. This dish almost became his nickname."
Liu Hao is their good friend who participated in the Idol Picture 4 competition. He is a very nice and easy-going big brother. They performed in the same team in the first and second public performances. He ranked thirteenth in the finals. It is said that his company is preparing for a solo debut. Coincidentally, he also released a song recently.
Moreover, the program production team also said that they were "people we know". Variety shows should not select ordinary people. Everyone only knows a few people in the entertainment industry, and the range is already very small.
Soon, Qu Shoubai also found the clue.
The one above is "Siren", which seems to be referring to Song Yu who is participating in the replacement match together.
The reason why he became a big hit as a singing host was because the song he sang was written by himself. He also sang a part of it during a competition, which was very impressive.
"Song Yu sings, he doesn't eat spicy food, I think he ordered the stir-fried shrimp with seasonal vegetables, it suits his taste very well," Qu Shoubai analyzed rigorously, and then said, "Quick, check their schedule for today."
The other clues haven't come out yet, but judging from these two, it's really easy to guess, especially after checking, they both seem to be in Haicheng. And they wanted to call to ask tentatively, but they didn't answer!
Isn't this just a case of trying to cover up one's own guilt?
The people gathered together felt that they had guessed the truth. The two who remained must be the fourth students of OTU. Well, it was normal to have some reminiscing sessions before releasing an album.
We all had a pretty good relationship at the time, and we kept in touch after our debut. I was a little nervous at first because I had to cook for the guests, but since we were all old acquaintances, there was nothing to be afraid of.
"Well, since we are all brothers, there is no need to be nervous," Ruisong waved his hand, "Why think so much? Isn't it easy to entertain them?"
We agreed that today is a leisure session.
When we were in the training camp, one dormitory asked the program team for a packet of instant noodles and they were all very happy. Now it’s even easier. Anything in the supermarket is better than instant noodles.
Buy, buy, buy!
A few people started to run around in the supermarket like a group of happy puppies.
Although the time was limited, there were still fans near Haicheng who received the news and rushed over, and the pictures taken by passers-by were quickly posted online.
In addition to the scene where Ji Mowei carried Li Chu around at the beginning, there was also Lin Zhi and a few others who gathered together to look at the Boston lobsters in the aquatic area. They seemed to want to buy some, but with limited funds, the little idols left unwillingly.
After a while, Li Chu was pulled over again.
Li Chu got lucky in the first game, as he drew the biggest red envelope. He had the most funds, and Qu Shoubai's group definitely did not have enough funds, so a bunch of people surrounded him.
Then Li Chu frowned, looked at Lin Zhi who was shaking the edge of his clothes and looked a little pitiful, and finally bought one.
Finally, Lin Zhi was holding the lobster and smiling like a little fool.
Putting several pictures together creates a very funny feeling.
Although it was mentioned earlier that everyone buys their own things, in reality they all rely on cheating and using other people's funds, and in the end all the money is spent together.
Lin Zhi didn't like to eat much, so he spent most of his money on a limited edition duck doll that was as tall as a person offline, and generously pooled the rest of his money with others.
Wang Ruoyi strolled around the imported fruits section and set his eyes on durian. He looked at the label, then looked at his money pocket, and then pulled Qu Shoubai over.
The cost-conscious captain Qu Shoubai didn't like the taste of durian, so he rejected his request and bought a much cheaper banana next door. He lip-synced and said, "They all taste the same, they're all soft."
Wang Ruoyi was furious and helpless: "Not even close!"
But because the smell of durian was too strong, no one except him would eat it, and this proposal was rejected by others. Wang Ruoyi, who couldn't raise enough money, wanted to give up, but later found out that Qu Shoubai had bought him a durian ice cream specially.
Fans who saw this scene responded: “Hahahaha.”
It's a good enough meal.
Normally they have strict dietary requirements, with one extra meal a week, but they are not allowed to eat food that is too high in calories, and the amount must be controlled.
Today the production crew was merciful and didn't care. Even if they were allowed to eat all kinds of snacks for a day, they could catch up with the high-intensity dance training later, so it wasn't a big problem. So the seven people who hadn't had a normal life for a long time were really happy to come out this time, even if it was just to do some shopping.
This also made the fans who saw the Reuters news very happy.
Because of the inexplicable quarrel with the "predecessors" before, the fans were originally very angry, but this time the little idol seemed to be living a fulfilling life and the relationships among everyone were good, and he seemed to be very popular offline, so they were not so angry anymore. No matter whether they were fans of the group, the only fan, or the CP, they all got something to eat.
Afterwards, some passersby who wanted to take photos with the young people posted comments, praising them for being good-looking and polite, and not being arrogant. Some passersby even secretly fed them when they were leaving.
People's attention span in a certain period of time is limited. With fresh and interesting people to watch, who cares whether there is a quarrel outside or not? Besides, they are not really quarreling.
But when everyone was happy, the thoughtful Li Chu still had some caution.
"We still need to prepare more ingredients," he said, "I don't think this matter is that simple."
When he said this, Lin Zhi was beside him, happily hugging his big duck doll, and asked, "What do you mean? Wasn't it agreed to be a leisure session? Everything has been normal until now."
Li Chu shook his head, looked at the messy items in everyone's shopping carts, and said, "I asked Mr. Su yesterday, and he is indeed out of town and has not returned. This group show was completely planned by Shen Mingzheng, and it was kept very secret."
This episode of the group variety show is essentially related to the album, so it is normal to hand it over to Shen Mingzheng for planning, but Li Chu always feels that Shen Mingzheng is abnormal.
"What what?" Bai Ruoyi leaned over and said, "Tell me what you want too."
Li Chu repeated his thoughts and said, "Mr. Shen Mingzheng is a cunning and treacherous person. I don't believe that the plan he has put in place will be so easy."
Cunning and cunning...
Isn’t this the word that Mr. Liang used to describe Su Ning?
Qu Shoubai, who was standing aside, thought silently.
However, this kind of "cunning and treacherous" is now on his side. Recently, Mr. Liang praised him for being "resourceful and resourceful".
Qu Shoubai and the others felt the same way. Both Mr. Su and Mr. Shen were on their side, which was a first-class quality.
"Ah? Is that so?" Lin Zhi was stupid. He didn't think too much. "I saw Mr. Su come here with him last time. He was a nice guy. Xiao Chu, maybe you have some misunderstandings."
Li Chu shook his head and said firmly, "I didn't misunderstand at all. He is a man who is particularly good at making a feint to the east and attacking in the west. The process and results may be different from what we think, so we have to buy more things in preparation, otherwise there may be problems."
Especially since none of them can cook very well, if the ingredients are ruined they will have to consider starting over. If the person who comes is really an acquaintance like Liu Hao, it would be fine for them to just have fun.
But what if?
Therefore, Li Chu paid special attention to preparing extra of some ingredients, even if he had to take back some of the ones he originally wanted.
He was willing to pay Lin Zhi and the others to buy the Boston lobster because it could be further processed and added with some side dishes, and it would be strong enough to hold up the occasion when he took it back.
But now the time was running out, and everyone pushed their shopping carts and finally checked out with a bunch of messy things. Then they happily greeted the fans who had rushed to the supermarket entrance and went home.
The seven people returned to the villa and continued to play with the puppy. They also played in the game room for a while, playing cards and board games, which they had just bought from the supermarket.
It was really a rare break. The team didn’t provide them with meals today, but it was enough for them to eat the snacks and other things they brought back. At noon, they even won the privilege of some milk tea from the director team by playing small games.
The whole morning was very happy!
After eating, everyone went straight to sleep in the game room. Lin Zhi even gave half of the huge duck to Li Chu to use as a pillow. It was a limited edition that was difficult to buy and was basically out of stock. It was extremely soft and comfortable.
The seven people woke up one after another at three o'clock, and their hair was all messy.
The invited guests said they would arrive around 7pm, and although the actual cooking would not take that long, they were novices and had to get up early to prepare in order to avoid actually ruining the meal.
When they just woke up, the production team asked them to play a small game to win more information about the guests. The little idols thought they had guessed the results, were well rested and in a good mood, so they played the game very seriously. However, the information they got after winning was a bit strange.
——"70 million fans."
Qu Shoubai was completely stunned when he received this information. He thought he would see information about other members of Ou Tu Si. In their minds, Liu Hao and Song Yu were almost certain, and there were still two that they hadn't guessed, but they were definitely from Ou Tu Si.
But this situation directly overturned the previous speculation. This definitely did not refer to Liu Hao and the others.
For those of them who have just debuted, the number of fans on all platforms is basically in the millions. The number of fans of the official account of the Glory group and some members has just touched the 10 million mark.
"Wait a minute," Lin Zhi said alertly, "I feel like they have been misleading us."
What Xiao Chu said this morning was right!
Ji Mowei called Liu Hao on the spot, but the other party didn't answer the phone and pretended very seriously that he was not there. Only Song Yu replied: "Brother, let me go. I have already promised someone. I really can't say it. You guys try your best."
Qu Shoubai confirmed: "It's really not them."
The fact that the number of fans has reached 70 million is decisive information. The number of stars who have reached this level in the entire circle can be counted on one hand, and the program crew will definitely not look for those who are completely unrelated.
After Zhou Heng quickly searched, he reacted the fastest: "Oh my God, no way, 70 million Blue Hat... Blue Hat Band?
The theme song in the fourth picture was written by Lan He, the lead singer of Blue Hat.
He did think about it at first, but he felt it was impossible.
What a big star they are! It's an honor for them to write lyrics for Ou Tu Si. Blue Hat was a band that became popular 20 years ago. They were famous all over the country during the ringtone era. They were the first generation idols of countless people. They have been releasing works for 20 years and are truly a senior who has been famous for half his life.
Especially after the second piece of information "Zhou Shan" came out, he ruled it out immediately. He was sure that no one in the Blue Hat Band was from Zhou Shan.
But it’s hard to say now.
"You mean, we might host my idol 'Blue Hat' tonight?" Zhou Heng was stunned. "The lead singer is Lan He, the guitarist is Hao Zi, the bassist is Wu Zhu, and the drummer is Cai Xibei...right?"
There really are four people!
But how does Zhou Shan explain it?
Ji Mowei thought for a moment, searched on his phone again, and said, "It seems that their first concert after their debut was held in Zhoushan."
That was twenty years ago. It was so long ago that it was normal for fans not to remember it. Ji Mowei was only able to confirm it after searching.
"What about Siren?" Bai Ruoyi was puzzled. "I have really listened to all the songs of Blue Hat. Don't lie to me, there is not a song called Siren."
"The first album..."
"Isn't it called Blue Sea?" Lin Zhi questioned, "I've been listening to this popular song since I was a child. It was played every day on the radio station in elementary school. How could I remember it wrong?"
Zhou Heng also searched and said sadly: "No, the first album is really called Siren. It's just that the title song Blue Sea is too famous, and the rest of the songs are not so famous. Many people think that the name of the album is... called Blue Sea."
The seven people fell into deathly silence in an instant.
If the group's hit song or other keywords were put in the hint, everyone would be able to guess it, but firstly, we don't dare to think about it, and secondly, it really is misleading from the beginning.
What to do? They thought the people coming were of the same age, so they prepared a lot of messy things.
Blue Hat has been in the entertainment industry for many years and is almost fifty years old. The things he brought back were lobsters that were edible after heating but not very fresh. It was okay to eat them himself, but it would be absolutely unacceptable to use them to entertain idols. But this was already the most impressive thing he had.
Other things... instant noodles, various snacks that they hadn't eaten for a long time, some fruits, the board game toys they bought, and the big duck that Lin Zhi was holding in his arms.
Seven people: “…”
"You mean, we are going to use these things to entertain my idol?" Zhou Heng said in disbelief. "Oh my God!"
The only lucky thing was that Li Chu had bought enough ingredients for the four dishes that had already been ordered, and Qu Shoubai had also bought some other ingredients and put them there. However, to entertain the Blue Hat and Tan himself, a total of eleven people, the meal would require at least eight dishes and one soup.
After thinking about it, Li Chu looked at the director team and said, "Tell me the truth, are you harming us?"
"How could that be?" The director team vehemently denied, "There is a song in this album that Blue Hat participated in. It's the only ballad in the first release. They wanted to tell everyone about their production ideas. This is supposed to be a surprise for everyone."
"Are you all surprised?"
