Chapter 6: Expectations
The two days include rehearsals and performances, so Gu Yanqiu's schedule is very tight.
There were people rehearsing on the stage all the time, and every time I walked by, I could hear the amazing sound of the speakers.
Those who can appear on the singing show are all well-known singers. They are very strict in their artistic pursuit and rehearsal.
Gu Yanqiu waited until the last person finished rehearsing, and it was already three in the morning. When the intern informed him that he could go on stage for rehearsal, he was still a little excited. But when he went up, he found that the band members were unplugging and finishing work.
"Dear teachers, the music director just notified me to come for rehearsal." Gu Yanqiu said politely.
After hearing this, the band members grumbled, "It really won't let us sleep." Then they called everyone who were about to get off work to continue rehearsing here.
Gu Yanqiu tested and tuned the microphone. It took two tries. Finally, he got the microphone in tune and asked the band, "Teachers, is this okay?"
"Okay, okay." Some of them stood up and put away the drumsticks, music cables, etc.
Gu Yanqiu bowed to them and said, "Thank you for your hard work, teachers."
Auditions are different from formal performances, and you don’t need to sing the entire repertoire.
Gu Yanqiu's agent, Chen Abia, was downstairs and was really panicked. After all, he had just accompanied him here and listened to other people's rehearsals.
The gap is really big.
Others had to rehearse for at least two hours. They waited all night and only managed two rehearsal times. Not to mention Gu Yanqiu, even his agent was panicking because the live broadcast was going to start tomorrow.
He didn't expect Gu Yanqiu to make a big splash, but he also didn't expect him to be too disappointing. He expected his performance to drop lower and lower each time.
But given their status, the interns at Apple TV are more respectable than them, so no matter how dissatisfied they are, they cannot show it.
The two bowed and thanked them all the way out of the Apple TV performance hall, got into the nanny car, and took them all the way to the hotel.
The agent sighed repeatedly. If he had known it would be like this, he would not have come.
I thought I could make a great comeback this time.
Who would have thought that not being ridiculed by the crowd is already a good result.
This stage is great, but it's not for him. His true strength lies in his live-mic singing and dancing. He sings with confidence, and dances with incredible power. It's safe to say no idol in the same field can rival him.
But this is a stage for pure singing.
It's like walking with one leg missing. Trying not to fall is a big deal, but trying to stand out is practically impossible.
The male agent was tired and worried. He sighed again without even realizing it.
In the narrow carriage, even the driver felt the atmosphere was suffocating and couldn't help but open half of the window to let the outside wind in.
Gu Yanqiu stared out the window, watching the hustle and bustle of traffic. The neon lights flickered outside, their light glimmering across his face, making his handsome face even more handsome.
But it was fleeting.
He arrived at the hotel. This time the company's budget was sufficient, so he booked two rooms.
Gu Yanqiu returned to the room and said to his agent, "Brother Chen, you've been tired all day, take a good rest."
Agent Chen wanted to say something, but it was useless at this moment. He swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and patted him on the shoulder: "Have a good rest."
Gu Yanqiu did not rush to remove his makeup or take a shower, but sat by the window in a daze. After a while, he opened WeChat and unknowingly clicked on Chen Duo's WeChat.
Suddenly I was a little surprised that Chen Duo also came here and checked in at many places.
The milk tea shown is a double portion, and the delicious food shown is also a double portion.
There were also various double-serving desserts to check in. Gu Yanqiu knew that she had a boyfriend, the boy who renewed their bill that day. Gu Yanqiu couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
Soon, I received a message from Chen Duo: "I will cheer for you in tomorrow's live broadcast."
"Thank you." He was a little flattered. No matter how cold he looked on the outside, he still felt warm inside when someone supported him.
Since you are here, it would be nice to leave a stage.
His tense mood miraculously calmed down with Chen Duo's encouragement.
No matter what happens, he is not left with nothing, he has someone supporting him.
…
Chen Duo had just put down her phone when she heard Xu Kaiming's faint voice: "Why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night?"
Chen Duo put down her phone and looked at Xu Kaiming, who was lying on the other bed in the twin room, and said, "Who told you to get a room?"
Xu Kaiming's eyes drifted to the left. "This is the only room left in the hotel. We can't make things difficult for the girl at the front desk."
"Then why don't we change to another hotel?" Chen Duo said.
Xu Kaiming said, "This is the largest five-star hotel near Apple TV. I'm afraid you won't be able to get used to a lesser-equipped one." There are performances and shows here, and artists often stay with their crews. This time, we were able to snag a room thanks to our Supreme Card.
Xu Kaiming's handsome face was filled with dissatisfaction: "You don't dislike me, do you? We slept in the same bed a lot when we were little."
"You're still bringing up something that happened when you were three years old." Why hadn't Chen Duo noticed before that he loved to bring up old things so much?
Xu Kaiming turned over and sat on the bed. "Just mentioning it, you said you would marry me when you were little, how come I was the only one who took it seriously! You don't like Gu Yanqiu, do you? She's an artist, that's floating in the sky. You might as well choose me, who's more down-to-earth."
Chen Duo said: "You said you wouldn't be jealous."
Xu Kaiming was speechless.
Seeing that he looked unhappy, Chen Duo stopped provoking him and softened her tone, saying, "Besides, didn't I accompany you to various landmarks today and check in? We even posted photos of our couple together."
Xu Kaiming made a "hmm" sound from his throat, like a big cat.
Chen Duo knew that this man was about to be coaxed, so she said, "You are my boyfriend, be more generous."
Xu Kaiming pressed the corner of his mouth and said, "I'm glad you know." Then he pressed the quilt again and got in.
After Chen Duo went to bed, she charged her mobile phone, dimmed the bedside lamp, and lay down on the bed.
When she was chasing stars, she traveled all over the world. Sometimes when she encountered special circumstances, she had to share a room with sisters in the group.
But sleeping in the same room with Xu Kaiming, even though we were not sharing the same bed, still made me feel a little strange.
It was already eaten like this. Before Chen Duo could think about it, she heard a small voice reminding her from the other bed: "Go to bed."
Chen Duo closed her eyes. If she couldn't figure it out, she stopped thinking about it.
Maybe I was really tired today. I felt sleepy as soon as I closed my eyes and fell asleep soon.
