Chapter 034 Interview
On the stage, the lights shone directly in front of my eyes, and my body became heavier and heavier.
While moving, Shen Xun put his hands behind his back and dug his nails deep into his palms, using the pain to stimulate himself not to fall down.
The microphone was not fully turned on, and the five people on the stage had solemn expressions. Before the chorus came, a few of them looked at each other and nodded imperceptibly.
The emotions are pushed to the top, and when entering the chorus, the sound in the microphone suddenly rises, trying to suppress the background sound.
In the control room, Lin Chiran felt more confident as he listened to the human voice in his headphones fighting with the background sound of the sound source, trying to determine who was higher.
"Our members have the ability to do this, please turn off the background music." Lin Chiran said confidently.
The production director pretended to be very busy and didn't hear it. A song is not very long, so he finished it in the time he had to spend, and he had no intention of turning it off.
On the screen, the performance was about to end, and Shen Xun seemed to lose his balance for a second.
Lin Chiran stared at the screen, paying attention to his condition. Shen Xun was now relying entirely on willpower to persevere. His voice became a little hoarse due to the fever, but he was still trying to increase the volume to cover the background sound.
Finally, the music ended. Shen Xun breathed rapidly and maintained the ending pose. The moment the camera cut away, his eyes suddenly went dark and his consciousness sank.
It was only for a moment, and it was not clear. Lin Chiran and Wu Wen quickly came to confirm, and saw that the members were tightly surrounding Shen Xun and carrying him to the side to rest.
Lin Chiran touched Shen Xun's forehead and found it was incredibly hot, so he quickly asked Wu Wen to call a taxi to take him to the hospital.

When Shen Xun opened his eyes again, he smelled the smell of disinfectant and there was a clear blue sky outside the window.
He tried to sit up and woke up Wu Wen who was lying on the bed.
"You're finally awake." Wu Wen had dark circles under his eyes after staying up all night. He stood up and took off the warm, wet towel from Shen Xun's forehead.
"Brother Wu, when did I faint? Was the performance over at that time?" Shen Xun's last memory was still on the stage. If he fainted before the performance was over, all his efforts would be wasted.
When Wu Wen heard that this was the first question he asked after waking up, he nodded helplessly: "You suddenly fainted just after the scene ended. Fortunately, An Juesui was quick to catch you. Fortunately, you didn't get hurt."
Shen Xun felt relieved: "That's good."
Wu Wen was angry: "What's good about that? When you were sent here, your fever was almost 40 degrees!"
Considering that he is a patient now, she lowered her voice again: "Plus, I have been practicing non-stop for a while and I am overly tired. The doctor said that if it gets any worse, it will develop into myocarditis!"
He remembered that when Lin Chiran heard the news, his face looked extremely ugly: "We shouldn't let him force it. We need to get an explanation for this matter."
Shen Xun didn't expect it to be so serious. He hadn't been sick for many years and thought that he would be fine after taking medicine. He felt a little guilty: "Sorry, Brother Wu, I made you worry. The schedule after that..." Entering the album promotion period, there are many activities scheduled.
Wu Wen saw his concerns: "Just take a good rest for a few days and recover your body first. Don't worry about other things. I'll push them off for you." He sighed in his heart. It was good that Shen Xun was working hard, but he shouldn't ignore his physical condition. "Brother Lin also asked me to bring him a message."
"He said... health management is also a professional quality of idols." For the patient, this statement was a bit too straightforward: "Working so hard on stage that you don't care about your own life or death is not what the audience wants to see."
Shen Xun was stunned. He thought he was working very hard, but did this ignore the audience's feelings? Was this wishful thinking? My mouth opened and closed, not knowing what to say.
"But Brother Lin also said that you did a good job of trying to suppress the backing vocals. Even though you were not in good condition, you did not rely on improper external forces. This is worthy of recognition."
Wu Wen inexplicably felt that these words were a bit like giving a sweet date after giving a blow, but they were not without reason. It would be good if Shen Xun could listen to them. After all, they still had a long way to go, and they couldn't keep fighting until they were injured and had little health left.
Shen Xun promised seriously: "I understand what Brother Lin means. I will take good care of myself in the future and this won't happen again." His body is no longer just his own, and he has to be responsible for everyone related to him.
Seeing that he understood Lin Chiran's deep meaning, Wu Wen also relaxed: "Then you should have a good rest. If there is no problem after a period of observation, you can go home."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Wen's cell phone rang. It was An Juesui.
"Brother Wu, Brother Wu, how is the captain?" An anxious voice came from the loudspeaker.
"I just woke up, don't worry, everything is fine." Wu Wen replied to him, handing the phone to Shen Xun.
Shen Xun said in a gentle tone: "Don't worry about me, I will be back soon."
An Juesui finally let go of his worries and quickly called out to the other members: "The captain is awake."
The members were busy taking turns to be interviewed by magazines, and they all breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"Captain, you should take good care of yourself." An Juesui was rarely so serious: "I will help you do your job as captain while you are away."
Shen Xun smiled when he heard this, and Wu Wen couldn't help but say, "You should take care of yourself first. I heard from Ji Qifeng that you wanted to pull him to the hospital quietly in the early morning."
"You're too concerned about the captain... What about the captain's interview?" An Juesui changed the subject.
"I have discussed Chen Xun's part with the magazine. We will make up for it separately after he recovers from his illness. There will be enough time and it will not affect the publication." Wu Wen tried his best to adjust his work schedule so that Shen Xun would not be absent.
Then he remembered something and added, "I'm not here, so when you are interviewed, please remember to be careful about your manners."
"Brother Wu, don't worry. The magazine has also arranged an interview with Brother Lin. He is here now and has told us all this in advance." An Juesui looked towards the interview area. Several people from the magazine's editorial department were sitting upright. The next interviewee was Lin Chiran.
"Hello, Producer Lin."
The interviewer looked at Lin Chiran who was sitting opposite him. The last time he saw him, he was promoting SLANT's new album. Unexpectedly, in less than half a year, he had changed his identity.
"Long time no see." Lin Chiran replied with a smile. He was very familiar with the magazine that came to interview him today.
"Frontier" is an interview entertainment magazine with good sales. It is backed by a large publishing company, has sufficient funds and its information is highly authentic.
The interviewees range from film, television and music production teams in the circle to actors, singers and idols active in front of the stage. They are keen on discovering interesting behind-the-scenes stories unknown to the audience, and have been very popular among readers in recent years.
As an idol who was once active in the front line, Lin Chiran also often worked with them. The scale of the editorial department's interviews was excellent, perfectly controlling the balance between being to the point and being too sharp, asking the readers what they wanted to see without embarrassing the interviewees.
"Thank you for taking the time to accept our interview. I'm sure our readers are curious about your identity as a producer." The interviewer greeted.
"Thank you for your kindness. I am very happy to have the opportunity to satisfy everyone's curiosity through "Frontier" this time." Lin Chiran said in a relaxed tone.
"Producer Lin, everyone has been paying attention to your movements over the past six months. You have completed the transformation of your identity perfectly. Could you please tell me under what circumstances did you first decide to become a producer?" He went straight to the point.
Lin Chiran thought for a few seconds: "Strictly speaking, I decided to become a producer the night after SLANT's graduation concert."
As he recalled, he smiled: "At that time, I was still hesitating whether to choose this path. It happened that I met the current members of Wax&Wane at the right time. He made me realize that I must do this."
The interviewer was a little surprised: "You said that you decided to become a producer after graduating from SLANT, but did you have this idea earlier? When was it?"
"Yes, friends who are familiar with me may know that I have been passionate about concert design for many years. In fact, this is not only for SLANT, but also for the consideration of getting involved in this industry as a behind-the-scenes person. Becoming a producer is one of my wishes." Lin Chiran was very sincere, and this was not something that could not be discussed.
“Then can you tell the readers why you are obsessed with the producer?”
"The reason is complicated." Lin Chiran thought about the part he could say directly: "Because I have been very interested in the stage since I was a child, and I want to continue working in this field after graduating from SLANT. It just so happens that the company also accepted my somewhat willful choice."
The interviewer grasped the hidden point in the words and dug deeper: "But what you said, if you can do it as a solo idol artist, is there any deep meaning in choosing to work behind the scenes?"
Lin Chi Ran pondered for a moment, and then expressed his other thoughts: "On the other hand, I want to get away from the perspective of an artist."
The staff member who was recording the interview paused after hearing this answer, feeling that there might be something interesting, and quickly recorded Lin Chiran's next words.
"Those who have liked idols should understand that they are beings endowed with complex emotions. To describe them only in terms of occupation, I personally think it would be a bit thin. Everyone may think that it is natural for fans to get emotions from idols, but at the same time, I think idols are also affected by the emotions of fans."
As he spoke, he paused for a moment.
"I can't say whether this has any positive or negative impact on the relationship between the two, but what is certain is that if you don't observe from a third perspective, you can't make an objective judgment, and this is exactly what I want to explore, so I choose to re-examine the existence of idols as a producer."
And some selfish desires that cannot be brought to light drove him to take this step, Lin Chiran added silently in his heart.
"Your insights are very unique." The interviewer received a more formal answer than expected, but it was a little heavy, so he led the question to a lighter direction: "You just mentioned that you met the current members of Wax & Wane at the right time. Can you tell me this story?"
Lin Chiran kept the secret: "It's Jingxing. You will interview this member later. You can ask him about this story. He will be happy to explain it." He left the interview topic to the members.
The interviewer then asked some other questions, including those voted for by readers, and the interview ended happily. The content will be published in the next issue of the magazine.
While Lin Chiran and the members were busy with interviews in the editorial department, a certain corner of music lovers on the Internet had a heated discussion about Music Life which was broadcast yesterday.
Some people noticed the seriousness of the problem and brought the topic to the public's attention, causing all the participants in the show to feel insecure.
