Chapter 139

The music festival officially started at 2pm. The music in the distance had already started, but audiences were still entering the venue.

The four members of AIcho, whose performance time was in the afternoon, also arrived at the scene. As soon as they got off the car, they heard Jiang Wangran's voice.

They performed a song by a foreign band. When the familiar melody sounded, the few people who just got off the car also hummed along.

"Do you think they are real?" Han Lemi asked curiously.

Yu Dan chuckled, "Our company does not allow lip syncing, right?"

"Then the bullets are also real bullets?"

"I guess so."

The four people were led by the staff and walked through the employee passage to the artist lounge.

There were already several groups of artists waiting in the RV on site, all of whom were going to perform soon.

Because the artist rest area was behind the stage, the sound was not very real, and they could only hear some vague voices. After closing the door of the RV, they could not hear anything.

Just a wall separated the atmosphere. The three people on the stage stood in front of the microphone with guitars and basses. As the lead singer of this song, Jiang Wangran ran forward with the microphone, without any sense of timidity of a newcomer on stage for the first time.

The audience was like boiling hot water, jumping together.

The four people who were putting on makeup in the RV were also watching the broadcast screen from time to time.

"I'm so jealous, they don't dance." Han Lemi looked at the screen and sighed sincerely.

Because of the different nature of the group, they have a lot of dance moves to memorize and practice. They don't even need to lose weight during the dance practice period. Seven or eight hours of aerobic exercise every day can make them lose several pounds.

Pei Zhiping stared at the screen closely, paying attention to the director's camera switching. If she saw something controversial, she would get off the car to discuss with the staff.

"Are the stage shots edited separately when the program is broadcast?"

"No, it's based on the on-site director, but if there is anything unsatisfactory, it can be re-edited."

"Okay, thank you teacher."

"No problem, no problem."

When she got back on, the three people in the car looked at her, and Pei Zhiping repeated the PD's words.

Yu Dan scratched his head and said, "Actually, the most important thing is that the movements should be smooth and in unison. As long as no one forgets the movements and no one takes the photo, it's fine."

Si Yanyu glanced at the screen that kept switching panoramas, and couldn't help but worry, "...We shouldn't have so many panoramas, right?"

"We'll just follow the rehearsal. As long as the director doesn't have any major problems, it's fine. We're just afraid of accidents and not being able to switch the camera in time." Han Lemi took out his iPad and showed them the video of the lottery. "This was recorded by Yu Le yesterday."

When they said they were going to watch the playback, the four people gathered their heads together.

Unlike the serious work here and the hard-working performances on stage, the Timetrain RV was surprisingly quiet.

Gao Xiayu didn't get much rest at night, so in order to ensure that she was in good condition for the performance, she was forced by the serious agent to take a nap.

The other people who had finished their makeup and hair were quietly busy with their own things. Ye Xing, a poor key high school student, was still making up for his papers.

Pei Luming was bored, so he kept chatting with fans in the Gailexi chat room, while the other two ran out to watch Equals3's stage.

Ye Xing's phone kept "buzzing" from time to time, attracting Pei Luming's attention.

He whispered, "...Brother, I'm sensitive."

Ye Xing turned his head speechlessly, "It's my mother."

He put down his pen, picked up the phone a little irritably, and took a look at the message sent by his mother.

"Mom: You will be in the second semester of your sophomore year in high school soon, and you will be a junior next year. How does your company plan to arrange your life? Why do you arrange so much work for you?"

"Mom: I have no objection to you being an artist, but you have to do well in your studies, right?"

"Mom: Being an artist is not a career that can support you for a lifetime. Can't you keep singing and dancing until you are 60 years old?"

"Mom: In my opinion, you still have to learn a better profession."

Because he is about to enter an important period, his mother is worried that there will be too much work in the future and his studies will be affected. Recently, she has given him more instructions.

"Ye Xing: I know, but some of the scheduled trips cannot be canceled."

Ye Xing's grades used to be among the best, and he even won the first place in his grade. But as he entered the company, the practice tasks became heavier and heavier, and he could not report to school every day, so his grades inevitably declined.

This is what his mother cares about the most, because his recent grade ranking has dropped to more than 30, and his mother has scolded him many times because of this.

He scratched his hair irritably, then sent a message to his mother, saying that he was writing a test paper, and then put down his phone again.

"Huh... I'm going out for a walk, are you coming?" He turned his head and asked Pei Luming who was lying next to Gao Xiayu. Pei Luming was busy typing at the moment and only glanced over. "No, I'm chatting with Xiao Moli and the others... They told me to spoil tonight's makeup and hair! I can't be fooled!"

"Okay, keep your voice down." Ye Xing stood up, put his phone in his pocket, and got out of the RV quietly.

The door was full of busy staff. Ye Xing walked out in the direction of the sound and soon ran into his assistant.

"Go to the front?" The assistant asked.

Ye Xing nodded, "Are Yao Shu and the others also in the front?"

"Yes."

"Let's go."

The Equals3 stage was about to end. In the distance, Jiang Juyou was returning to the rest area with his assistant, thinking of meeting with other groups of artists, and ended up running into Ye Xing.

Jiang Juyou was about to nod and leave, but Ye Xing called her.

"Jiang Zhi, can I talk to you?" Ye Xing hesitated for a long time. When he saw Jiang Juyou from a distance, he began to struggle with his thoughts. When he saw that she was about to leave, he mustered up the courage to call her.

Jiang Juyou stopped and looked back, "Now?"

He nodded.

Jiang Juyou looked at the camping tent in the rest area in front and saw that there were no people, so he pointed in that direction and said, "Let's go there."

While walking behind Jiang Zhi, Ye Xing was still thinking about how to start the conversation, because the plans for each member had already been decided before their debut, and Ye Xing was worried that his sudden change of mind might cause trouble to the company.

He kept his head down like a puppy that had made a mistake, and did not dare to get too close to Jiang Jueyou when he sat down.

Seeing the two assistants were about to leave, Jiang Jueyou raised her hand to stop them, "It's okay, you just sit here. There are more outsourced staff today, and it's a bit messy. Be more careful."

"Okay." The two assistants also sat aside and listened.

Ye Xing was originally hesitating about how to start the conversation, and when he saw so many people, he didn't dare to do it anymore.

Jiang Jueyou is in charge of the group's planning, and even the subsequent development of the members must be approved by her.

According to the company's plan, Ye Xing will study to become an actor, but he is not very interested in being an actor.

"Teacher, I want to talk to you about your future career plan."

Jiang Juyou looked at him and motioned for him to continue.

"Compared to an actor, I want to be a director in the future..." When Ye Xing said this, his body couldn't help but tense up.

Director is a behind-the-scenes job. Once you enter the preparation stage of a work, it will be difficult to spare time to participate in other work.

In the circle now, no matter what your identity is, you will eventually become an actor. Ye Xing also knows that this is the best plan for his future.

But he doesn't like it.

Unlike Ye Xing's expected reaction, Jiang Juyou's expression was not very bad, but a little surprised.

She asked, "Why do you have this idea?"

"Well... I usually like to watch some movies. Recently, I have read a lot because of the acting class, but I found that when I watch a movie, I don't tend to think about how to act, but I prefer to think about the intention behind the picture." Ye Xing has been interested in movies and TV series for a long time, but he always thought that he was interested in being an actor. It was not until recently that he figured out his preference.

Jiang Juyou calmed down after listening to him. Although it was different from the original plan, he still respected the artist's own ideas more.

But she needs to make it clear about the interests involved, "…We will definitely take your ideas as the priority, but I still hope you can understand that if there is no other exposure in the future, the fans may run away."

When they go to college and formally start to study acting or vocal music, their personal resources will increase, because different choices have different directions, but whether they choose to be actors or singers, these are all on-stage work.

If Ye Xing is unwilling to take these two paths, and there are no resources to take on in the future, then her popularity will quickly decline.

"I've thought all this through." Seeing that Jiang Zhi had no objection, Ye Xing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "I also want to be like Jiang Zhi and speak with my own strength."

The sudden flattery made Jiang Juyu and her assistant stunned. She chuckled, "Okay, since you've made up your mind, the company will support you."

Jiang Juyu took out her cell phone and looked at the date, "Next year is the second semester of the second year of high school, and I have to get ready quickly. Um... the company will arrange it for you later about the teacher's words. Your cultural courses..."

"Cultural courses are no problem!" Ye Xing said quickly.

"Okay, that's it, is there anything else?" Jiang Juyu asked, and checked the time.

Ye Xing shook his head and stood up first, "No more, thank you teacher."

Jiang Juyou also stood up and saw Yao Shuo and Chi Qiao coming back from the front. After retracting his sight, Jiang Juyou looked at Ye Xing, "Then go back and rest, they just happened to be back."

Ye Xing turned his head and looked back, then turned to Jiang Juyou and said, "Then I'll leave first, teacher."

Jiang Juyou nodded and watched him run away. The assistant came forward and sighed.

She didn't even say anything, Jiang Juyou knew what she was worried about.

But now we can only pray that Ye Xing will be a talented director in the future.

Otherwise, the first half of the journey will be wasted.

Jiang Juyou turned around, glanced in the direction of the RV, and asked, "Which car is AIcho's?"
