Chapter 049 Fan Meeting (Part 1)
An Juesui blinked his puppy eyes and showed a very pitiful expression: "Do you really want this one?"
Ji Qifeng nodded.
An Juesui handed the cards to Ji Qifeng unwillingly: "Hey, why don't you believe me, Qifeng..."
Ji Qifeng turned over the cards and his eyes went dark. The joker card at this moment seemed to be mocking him.
An Juesui continued to add insult to injury: "See, I told you I would never lie to you. I'm so sad..."
Before An Juesui could finish his words, the joker card in Ji Qifeng's hand was taken away by Jiang Hechu with an ambiguous smile.
Jiang Hechu glanced at Jingxing who was about to draw a card. Ji Qifeng understood what he meant, kept a poker face and said nothing.
Jingxing looked left and right, but didn't know who had the joker card, so he had to draw it at random. He pinched a card in front of him with his fingers, but felt a slight resistance.
Could it be that the joker is in Jiang Hechu's hand? Jingxing wasn't sure.
Jiang Hechu still had the same expression, but he still held the cards very tightly.
Jingxing recalled the way Jiang Hechu tricked him and shook his head. It must be a trap again this time! Yes, that's it! Successfully drew another card.
Seeing the familiar cards, Jing Xing wanted to cry but had no tears. The familiar faces came and went, the familiar jokers, the familiar tricks. Why on earth did he have to sit next to the evil-minded Jiang Hechu...
An Juesui looked at Jingxing with some pity, but drew a card without hesitation - the Queen of Spades, a safe card.
Then, Ji Qifeng also took this card and failed to form a pair.
However, Jiang Hechu successfully took the 4 of spades from Ji Qifeng, forming a pair, and was the second one to clear his hand.
It was Jingxing's turn to draw a card. Ji Qifeng directly handed the last card to Jingxing, patted his shoulder, and comforted him: "Come on."
Three people have successfully cleared their hands.
Jingxing stared blankly at the two cards in his hand. Suddenly, only he and An Juesui were left. If An Juesui drew another card, the game would end immediately.
At this point, it was clear who held the joker, but Jing Xing was still struggling: "Well... I'll shuffle the cards again."
The two cards were shuffled countless times, and the three people who escaped early watched with relish.
Jingxing shuffled the cards, with a serious expression, and placed two cards in front of him, allowing An Juesui to draw. This time, no matter what he said, he could not reveal any flaws.
An Juesui's finger paused on one card for a moment, then moved to another card, observing it continuously. Seeing that Jingxing's expression seemed to be relaxed for a second, he took the card away without hesitation.
However, it was a joker. An Juesui covered his face with his hands: "My lifelong reputation!"
Jingxing relaxed a little, but his joy didn't last long. He drew the joker card back with incredible precision and instantly turned into a bitter face.
Seeing this scene, the members' unbridled laughter filled the studio, and they were even happier than if they had escaped early.
An Juesui stared at the cards in Jingxing's hand. He was determined to finish it this time, so he decisively drew the card on the left.
"Yeah! It's over!" An Juesui was overjoyed and threw two identical cards on the table.
Jingxing smiled bitterly and looked at the joker card in his hand. It turned out that he was not very good at this.
The host followed the procedure step by step and conducted a post-match interview: "Congratulations to Shen Xun for winning. Your pre-match declaration said that you have never lost when drawing joker cards. Is there any trick to this?"
Shen Xun thought for a moment: "Keep a normal mind, don't deliberately think about winning, and be more relaxed..."
The program was recorded successfully. The production director Qin Kai turned around and found that Mr. Li, who was originally standing next to him, had left the scene at some point.
Qin Kai was a little confused and didn't pay attention to this episode.
On the other side, Mr. Li, who quietly left the studio, was thinking about something and sent a message.
Let them come on the show, and be careful about the scale. 】
Received a reply soon: [Received]

While the members were busy running around for announcements, the first offline fan meeting was being prepared in an orderly manner under the arrangement of Lin Chiran.
As soon as the tickets for the event were released, they were sold out instantly. Fans who got a ticket were overjoyed, while those who didn’t were worried.
Fortunately, this fan meeting will also have online ticket sales and simultaneous live broadcast, so that people who cannot go to the event in person can also have some psychological comfort.
On the day of the event, people lined up outside the venue early on.
The car carrying the members stopped at the side door. Jingxing got out of the car with his guitar bag and chatted, "I gave a few tickets to my family. I wonder if I can find them in the audience later."
When Jingxing's family heard that a fan meeting was going to be held, the whole family was very excited and wanted to see what Jingxing would look like on stage.
An Juesui also gave out a few tickets and started chatting with Jingxing: "I feel like they will be shocked, hahaha, impressed by my heroic appearance!"
Shen Xun also sent a message to Shen Miao, reminding her to pay attention to safety as there were many people at the venue.
Jiang Hechu didn't have many acquaintances in the country and had no intention of joining the topic.
Ji Qifeng listened silently, tightly holding the two tickets in his pocket that he had not given away yet.
After doing her makeup backstage and going through the process, it was time for the event to start, but I saw my assistant Xiao Liu rushing over.
"The host we had arranged to meet just had a sudden illness and we just called an ambulance to take him to the hospital." As soon as Xiao Liu opened his mouth, he told the members a piece of news that made them worry.
"What should we do now? Is there anything we need to do?" Shen Xun asked directly.
"Producer Lin said that you, Brother An, should take over first." Xiao Liu looked at An Juesui and repeated the decision made by Lin Chiran.
"Ah..." An Juesui was stunned: "Is this okay?"
Xiao Liu spoke quickly: "Producer Lin said that the show is about to start, and there is no time to find someone on the spot. An Ge is familiar with the process and has relevant experience, so he can take over." As he said this, he took out the host's script with emphasis on annotating the process.
The experience Xiao Liu was talking about was probably the broadcasting and hosting major listed on An Juesui's resume, and the fact that he had hosted some activities within the department. He had never been to a fan meeting.
The host is the role that controls the rhythm on stage. He needs to pay attention to the overall progress while being able to mobilize the participants to fully perform. Even with a teleprompter and process cards, it is not easy.
An Juesui has always been confident in his abilities. When he was suddenly entrusted with this important task, he felt the pressure, but the excitement of facing the challenge constantly stimulated his nerves.
He took the script without hesitation and flipped through it quickly: "Give me a few minutes." Taking advantage of the last bit of time, he quickly went through the parts that needed attention.
A pure and transparent melody sounded in the venue, like the sound of a music box. The instrumental version of the debut single was played on loop as a waiting track.
Backstage, An Juesui put down the script in his hand and everyone looked at him nervously.
"How about it, have you remembered it?" Wu Wen also rushed to the backstage.
An Juesui took a deep breath and smiled a reassuring smile: "Brother Wu, don't worry, it will be fine!"
The fan meeting was designed to be a combination of singing and dancing performances and game interactions, with the title song "Escape" as the opening song.
The stage lights suddenly dimmed, and when they came on again, the five members of Wax&Wane appeared on the stage. The fans in the audience cheered in surprise, and the event officially kicked off.
The title song has been danced many times during the promotion period, and the members are becoming more and more familiar with the choreography. While moving around, they will also give the audience some food.
The so-called fan service is a special benefit that idols give to the live audiences.
An Juesui winked slyly at the support items with his name written on them in the audience. Many audience members were touched by his wink and looked excited.
Jiang Hechu closed one eye, made a pistol gesture, aimed at the audience, raised his right hand and fired, making the sound of "bang" with his mouth. The audience covered their chests one after another, as if they had really been shot.
Jingxing blew a kiss and received a warm response. His face turned slightly red, and he turned around shyly and made a heart shape with his hands.
Chen Xun waved to the audience with a gentle smile, pointing out their cheering items one by one.
Ji Qifeng was also infected by the atmosphere. He greeted the audience and nodded with a slight smile when he was called.
The opening performance and small interactions successfully ignited the atmosphere. The five members stood at the front of the stage and said in unison: "Hello everyone, we are Wax&Wane——"
"Hello to the audience here and in front of the screen - did you like the performance we just performed?" An Juesui greeted enthusiastically, receiving a loud response from the audience.
"Thank you all for participating in our first fan meeting today, either in person or in front of the screen. I hope everyone can enjoy the rest of the time!" Then the members introduced themselves one by one.
An Juesui served as the host. When the members introduced themselves, he joked from time to time, and the atmosphere was harmonious. There was no sign of awkwardness from the man who was temporarily pulled in to take over the position. He smoothly transitioned to the first game segment - lip syncing.
Backstage, Lin Chiran had been observing An Juesui's performance.
This is both a crisis and an opportunity to examine our capabilities.
Wu Wen kept his eyes on the stage and was also worried about An Juesui, hoping that the process could go smoothly without any problems.
The staff brought up a few pairs of headphones and distributed them to the members.
The rules of the lip-syncing game are that game participants will wear headphones and guess what the previous person said based on their lip movements.
As An Juesui needed to host the segment, the system was temporarily changed to four people passing the message, with Jiang Hechu reading the question, passing it to Ji Qifeng, then to Jing Xing, and finally Shen Xun guessing the answer.
When An Juesui saw the question on the prompter, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Was it too difficult?
"Has everyone put on their headphones? No one answered..." An Juesui suddenly put his hands together and raised them, saying to Jingxing: "Jingxing, I'm sorry, I was the one who drank your Coke!"
There was laughter from the audience, and everyone looked at Jingxing with affection, as he had no idea what had happened.
Jingxing didn't react at all, and the music in his headphones was playing loudly.
"It seems that I can't hear any other sounds. I was almost discovered by him." An Juesui patted his chest: "Then let's start the game. Please look at the big screen for the question."
