Chapter 019 Captain
Wu Wen knocked on the door several times but there was no response. Today's practice was over at this time. Did he go out to eat? He tried to call Shen Xun, and the ringtone came from inside the door, followed by two wailing voices: "Whose phone suddenly rang, I was scared to death."
After a while, Shen Xun picked up the phone: "Brother Wu, are you looking for me?"
Wu Wen was a little confused. Isn't there someone here? "Come and open the door. Brother Lin and I are at the door."
Chen Xun felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, and rushed to open the door for the two of them, turning on the light next to them, "Sorry, I didn't notice it just now."
Lin Chiran was puzzled. The room was dark, with only a light on in the entrance hall. The living room not far away was pitch black, with only a faint light from the TV. There were also some strange noises coming from the TV. He couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing? Don't you turn on the lights?"
Shen Xun was a little embarrassed, and his eyes subconsciously drifted to the living room: “Well…Brother Lin, you will know when you come in and take a look.”
Lin Chiran and Wu Wen changed their shoes and walked into the living room. At a glance, they saw four people sitting in front of the TV. An Juesui and Jingxing were hugging each other tightly, Ji Qifeng looked calm, and Jiang Hechu was watching a show, looking at An Juesui and Jingxing from time to time, probably thinking about doing something again.
The classic horror movie "The Ring" was playing on TV. When Lin Chiran approached, the TV in the protagonist's room suddenly turned on automatically, and a figure in white clothes climbed out of the well and approached step by step.
An Juesui and Jingxing were staring at the screen intently and did not notice the arrival of Lin Chiran and Wu Wen at all. Ji Qifeng noticed the two of them and was about to remind them but saw Lin Chiran shaking his head, signaling him not to take any action for the time being.
On the other side, Jiang Hechu quietly walked around to the side close to An Juesui and Jingxing, who were trembling with fright because of the sudden ringing of the phone in the movie. Seeing this scene, Jiang Hechu covered his mouth to hide his laughter, quietly waiting for the moment when the figure on the screen crawled out. He patted the shoulders of the two people lightly and blew a breath behind their ears at the same time.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Ghost!!!” An Juesui was so frightened that he jumped up on the spot, while Jingxing pounced directly on Ji Qifeng who was sitting next to him.
Ji Qifeng: “…”
He was not scared by the movie, but was frightened by Jingxing's sudden pounce on him. Ji Qifeng wanted to push Jingxing away with a frown on his face, but he was holding him too tightly and he couldn't move him away. He simply gave up struggling and watched him shivering and holding him tightly in silence.
An Juesui screamed for a long time but didn't stop. It was clearly this guy who suggested watching it, so why was he the one who reacted the most violently? Ji Qifeng held his forehead with his hand.
Jiang Hechu, whose prank had succeeded, very naturally found a place to sit down when no one was paying attention. Apart from the uncontrollable smile on the corners of his mouth, no one could guess what he had just done.
Wu Wen couldn't help but twitching his mouth as he looked at the chaotic scene. He decisively turned on the lights in the living room. As the lights came on, the scene finally became quieter. An Juesui, Jingxing and Jiang Hechu only then realized that they saw Lin Chiran and Wu Wen.
"Are you...watching a horror movie?" The answer was already obvious, but Lin Chiran couldn't help but ask as he looked at An Juesui's pale face and the tears in Jingxing's eyes.
The figure in white clothes has crawled out of the screen and is struggling to crawl on the ground. His nails have fallen off due to excessive force, and his fingertips are stained with blood. The protagonist stumbles backwards with his trembling and paralyzed body, watching helplessly as the white figure slowly approaches.
The camera suddenly focused on the terrifying eyes hidden under the long hair, and the sharp and piercing soundtrack echoed in the living room. However, the terrifying atmosphere had long disappeared after Jiang Hechu's actions, and it seemed inexplicably funny at this moment.
"Lin, Brother Lin." An Juesui took a deep breath, his words were a little unclear, "Why are you here?"
Chen Xun couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he turned off the TV and took over An Juesui's words to explain: "Brother Lin and Brother Wu, we have been thinking about the question you asked recently. An Juesui said he wanted to watch a movie to get some inspiration, so we watched it together..."
As he spoke, Shen Xun himself realized the absurdity of this, and couldn't help but lower his head and mutter to himself: "So what kind of inspiration can a horror movie have..."
Jiang Hechu revealed an intriguing smile. It might not be inspiring, but it was indeed very interesting. Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth rose a little more.
Lin Chiran wanted to agree with Shen Xun's words, but he brought the topic back on track: "So how is everyone preparing? We're going to shoot the vlog tomorrow."
Hearing this question, the members straightened their expressions and answered obediently that they had some ideas.
The chaotic scene just now appeared in front of Lin Chiran's eyes again. It was hard not to worry that their thoughts would be as strange and deviated as in the movie, so he decided to listen now.
The members described their ideas in turn. Lin Chiran and Wu Wen listened with interest, curious about what answers they would give.
Jiang Hechu learned that most of the members were good at playing musical instruments, so he took the initiative to suggest that if a bassist was needed, he could learn. He had some basic guitar skills and would be able to learn faster. This coincided with what Lin Chiran had discussed with the Planning Department not long ago. While they were still considering who would be more suitable, Jiang Hechu brought this up first.
"Besides learning bass, do you have any other ideas?" Wu Wen took notes and prepared to arrange relevant courses for Jiang Hechu.
Jiang Hechu glanced at Jingxing's direction casually and said, "If possible, I would like to participate in some of the choreography." Seeing Wu Wen's curious eyes, he explained, "Of course, we still have to rely on professional choreography teachers at the beginning, but I hope that as a member in the future, we will also be able to complete these. The members will understand the style of the group better and look forward to making a matching choreography."
After seeing Jingxing dancing, Jiang Hechu came up with this idea. What Jingxing shows now is just talent, but in the future it will grow into a powerful weapon of his.
Wu Wen looked at Lin Chiran, waiting for the producer's judgment. Lin Chiran nodded thoughtfully: "We encourage members to participate in the production of music and dance. Works produced by themselves will be more touching."
Jingxing also took this opportunity to once again propose his desire to participate in music creation, hoping that the group's musicality could become a key point of attraction and infect the audience with music. Lin Chiran also promised that as the members grow and produce suitable works, these will naturally be included in the charter.
As for the character mentioned before, An Juesui believes that he can be the Little Sun character based on his own personality. "He is the type of person who is very sunny and positive, and can warm the hearts of fans and everyone. Isn't that my personality? It's exactly the same and a perfect fit!" His eyes sparkled as he said this, and he was looking forward to the members' comments.
In fact, An Juesui's chatterbox attribute is more obvious, and this impression emerges in everyone's mind. However, the role of Little Sun seems to suit him quite well. Sometimes he is noisy but not annoying. He will pay close attention to other members and is a very popular presence.
Ji Qifeng suggested that he should just stay like this. He couldn't force him to talk more and keep his emotions high. An Juesui agreed, "Qifeng can act like a cool and handsome guy like this. I've known you for so many years but I've never seen you so lively."
A cool and handsome guy? Ji Qifeng didn't think he was cold, he just didn't like to talk much.
Lin Chiran also understood his choice. For some people, high emotions are very energy-consuming. Maintaining one's own personality will also attract the right people to like them. There is no need to force oneself to conform to a completely different personality template.
The four of them expressed their thoughts, and in the end, only Shen Xun was still struggling. In fact, he had thought about a lot, but when it came time to speak up, he was not sure how he should implement these ideas and was a little less confident.
Lin Chiran noticed Shen Xun's hesitation, and he said with a thought in his mind: "Now that we have decided on the name of the group and everyone has been together for a while, do you have any ideas about the captain's choice?"
To Shen Xun's surprise, the other four members pointed at him, and he was somewhat flattered.
"Chen Xun is the most suitable one. He cooks delicious food, draws beautifully, and has a good personality..." An Juesui listed his advantages one by one, making Chen Xun feel embarrassed.
Ji Qifeng often heard his childhood friend talk about Chen Xun's gentleness, and after living together for the past few days, he felt the same way.
"Chen Xun has helped me a lot these past few days. He's a very gentle person, and it'll make me feel at ease to have him as captain." Jing Xing agreed.
Jiang Hechu smiled and said: "I think his personality is the most suitable, he gets along well with the members, and he is qualified for the position of captain."
The members agreed unanimously. Shen Xun was a little worried whether he could do it well, but looking at the trusting eyes of everyone and the encouragement in Lin Chiran's eyes, he took on the responsibility.
"I didn't expect you to trust me so much," Shen Xun said seriously, "I will try my best to be a good captain. If you have any questions, please let me know."
Lin Chiran's best candidate was also Chen Xun, for the same reason Jiang Hechu had said. Chen Xun's gentle personality and friendly attitude allowed him to communicate with the other members in a friendly manner. In just a few days, the distance between them was quickly shortened.
In addition, Shen Xun is very responsible. Before he became the captain, he was silently taking care of the members. He is also very motivated, and his own efforts will become the driving force for the team to move forward. The only thing is that his unsuccessful experiences sometimes make him lack confidence, but this will gradually change as they move further and further into the future.
Lin Chiran looked at the harmonious atmosphere among the members and smiled with satisfaction.
Next, Wu Wen made some arrangements for tomorrow's filming, introducing the focus of the filming, the method of following the filming, and other matters to the members one by one. Although the finished product is expected to be only about half an hour long, the material has to be shot for a whole day, starting from early in the morning to record the day of the Wax&Wane members.
The next morning, the doorbell rang on time.
