Chapter 167
Music festivals are different from concerts. They are freer and unconstrained. Rather than watching the people on stage, what you enjoy more is the experience of coming to the music festival.
When the music in the venue starts, the speakers everywhere in the park start working. Girls wearing suspenders and shorts stand in front of a stall holding drink cups and dance to the music. The notes and rhythm control their bodies, and the happiness brought by dopamine makes people lose themselves in this afternoon. The
clouds in the sky still leave shadows on the ground. The people outside the stage don’t know each other, but they can gather together to sway their bodies to the music, follow the shadows of the cotton clouds, and enjoy happiness.
At this moment, anyone in the park will be cast a spell by the music symbols.
Ke Youming and his friends couldn't help shaking their heads as they walked, as free as little birds out of their cages.
The vibrations from the bass made people feel numb in their feet, and the deafening music made people forget their troubles. Even if they shouted at this time, it wouldn't be impolite.
A few people actually shouted.
AIcho and Timetrain's performances are both in the evening, and at this time they are also walking around with their assistants, enjoying the happiness that the music festival brings them for the last time.
People who wander around the park can find that there seem to be many artists here today. You can see a person with a good figure every two steps, all wearing masks. There are
also people on the Internet who have summarized how many artists went to the scene. After the list is drawn up, it feels like most of the entertainment industry has gone.
In addition to the lottery tickets for the public, this music festival also has internal tickets.
After all, the original intention of this program is for charity. If media friends and artist friends can participate in their charity activities, they can get tickets.
Several people from Yang Siyu's company came to learn. In addition to a few staff members, there were also artists from their company.
Knowing that they would feel uncomfortable if the bosses stood next to them, Yang Siyu and the others deliberately asked everyone to disperse and let a few assistants follow them.
At this time, the artists on the stage were performing. They did not go to the front row, but chose a seat very close to the sound station.
"Here, yours is half-sugar and yours is sugar-free..." Li Yao came back with a bag and distributed the ice drinks to the other two. The rest of the staff were driven out to play by them. This was also an alternative team building. They didn't want them to be nervous all the time in front of them.
Without the staff, the three people sitting here could finally take off their masks and become sentimental.
Zhao Xu took a sip of the ice drink and let out a long sigh, "...Isn't the music program I watched randomly coming out? It's auditioning MCs recently, and many young artists are going for the audition."
They also brought their own children, and the result can be imagined.
Because it is a new program, the producers are still a little cautious in choosing MCs. They hope to choose someone who is popular in himself, or at least someone who is familiar to most people and can be called by name.
Although there are many more promotional platforms after Random Entertainment joined hands with other platforms to vigorously develop the idol industry, it is still very difficult to stand out from so many artists.
Random Entertainment is not the only big company that deals with idols. There are three or four well-known companies in the industry. However, although those companies are well-known, the artists have not been able to make their faces familiar to the public.
This is enough to let people know how difficult it is to have a name in this circle.
Li Yao saw that their morale was a little low, so he patted them on the shoulders and comforted them, "Hey, at least you are making money now, right?"
They used to lose money every month, but now at least they can break even. Even if they only make two or three hundred, it is a small step towards success.
It is because they are watching the development of things from Jiang Juyou's perspective that they can realize how amazing she is.
The same mixed feelings are also felt by the boy band of Yang Siyu's company.
The seven people stood outside the crowd, far away from the stage, and could only see the big screen. Compared with the screen that was more than ten meters high, they were like ants.
On the screen was Chen Wu, who was playing the bass with his head down. The performance had lasted for more than half an hour without any breaks. In addition to the hot afternoon, he was covered in sweat and his hair on his forehead was wet.
The fans in the audience cheered and screamed for them, and the audience opened their arms and jumped to the rhythm of the music.
Some of the seven people were in the top 21, but they didn't make their debut in Timetrain or Equals3. I heard that Random Entertainment is about to release another boy group. If they stick to it until the end, they can avoid many detours.
Unlike the people around them who were reveling, they couldn't really enjoy themselves. Every second they saw and heard reminded them of the time when they were trainees at Random Entertainment, and the time when they were surrounded by fans and fans went crazy for them.
Not far behind the seven of them were some of the members of Random Entertainment's new boy group.
"Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!" The four big boys danced to the rhythm of the music and shouted the cheering words of this song like fans. Assistants and bodyguards stood around them to prevent them from bumping into others.
They didn't know how other people felt when they heard Equals3's music, but they liked Equals3's music very much, especially Jiang Wangran's music style, which simply hit the excitement point of these passionate boys.
Jiang Wangran ran forward along the extended stage with his guitar in his arms, and the four boys were like crazy, shouting heartbreakingly: "Brother - here! Look at me! Brother!"
For boys, Jiang Wangran's personality and appearance were too cool. Jiang Wangran, who played the guitar on the stage, fascinated the 15 or 16-year-old boys below. The shouts of the four of them were not as loud as those of the four of them in the entire front row.
"Keep your voice down!"
"Cover your mouths if
you keep shouting!" "Everyone else is looking over here, keep quiet!"
Seeing Sang Mo coming over with a half-full bottle of mineral water, the girls around started to go crazy, shouting like zombies, trying to attract Sang Mo's attention and get him to spread it over here. The four boys
who noticed this trick gestured to Jiang Wangran who was looking over, and even passed the water in their hands out, shouting at the top of their voices: "Brother - splash here!"
"Brother! Look at us!"
"Jiang Wangran is awesome!"
The assistants standing in the back were already starting to feel dizzy, because they found a mobile phone that had turned around and was filming them.
"Go ahead and cover their mouths." The assistant who had been in the position longer waved his finger.
Jiang Wangran on the stage may have recognized them. He grinned happily and picked up a bottle of mineral water from the side of the stage. He drank several sips through the bottle mouth before shaking the bottle.
The song is called "Carnival in the Rainstorm". The whole song is like the irrational emotions after a breakup, sad and relieved. The three of them seemed to have calculated the time. After the drum beats reached the peak, they took off the guitars, stuck to the music drop node, and splashed the water in their hands.
People who were a little closer to the main stage area could hear the burst of cheers. Everyone turned around to see what happened, but what they saw was the three people on the big screen who were even more brilliant and wild.
That sense of happiness infected everyone through the screen, making them curious and wanting to go over to take a look.
Ke Youming and the other two were sitting at a higher place a little further away, eating and watching the performance of Equals3. As they were watching, they spotted some familiar figures on the screen.
The three of them froze in their fries. The four people who were clinging to the railings in agony were clearly visible on the screen. Their masks couldn't even cover their red skin due to excitement.
"..."
Ke Youming and the other two looked at each other and turned back to look at the agent.
Sure enough, the agent's face had turned sour.
The agent picked up the phone and sent a voice message, "Tell them to pull up the masks and don't show their faces. If they show their faces, they are looking for death."
After that, she looked at Ke Youming and the other three.
The three of them raised their hands and swore, "We are very good."
Today is the last show of the Midsummer Music Festival. It has been on several hot searches just after the opening. The artists who played there have also been on the hot searches one after another.
The most popular one is #江望然迷弟#. The crazy look of those boys clinging to the railings was photographed. As soon as Jiang Wangran walked over there, they started to have fun. There are videos from several angles. The closest one even took a picture of the four of them shouting "Brother" to Jiang Wangran.
The whole afternoon of fun was given by the Midsummer Music Festival. Whether it is the atmosphere and outfits of the festival or the services in the park, they all make those who can't go there envy.
Yang Riping sat in front of the computer this morning, just watching Random Entertainment on the hot search.
In addition to the Midsummer Music Festival today, there was another thing that was worth being on the hot search, but because the Midsummer Music Festival received too much attention, all attention was drawn to it, and this thing failed to be on the hot search.
Of course, it may also be that Random Entertainment deliberately did not promote it, so there is no entry for it.
Yang Riping looked at the article just posted on the media official account. The content on it was that five large companies including Random Entertainment signed a cooperation agreement to jointly work for the domestic idol market.
He raised one corner of his mouth sinisterly, "It's funny."
The sentences in the article all indicate that the five of them are the largest entertainment economic companies in the current domestic market, and they also have many singer artists under their banner.
The words were meant to exclude Yang Riping and his company.
"You guys responded quickly last time, let's see how you guys solve it this time?" He stared at Jiang Jueyou in the photo with a bad expression.
At lunchtime in the afternoon, the park was quiet for a while, leaving the audience and staff a few hours to rest and eat.
Some people went to sleep in the tent after dinner, and slept until dark, and only woke up after the noise outside.
This kind of long-term activity is a tiring project. If there were no bigger players behind, some people would have left in the afternoon.
In the evening, in addition to AIcho and Timetrain, there were three other groups of artists with extremely high national popularity. At the beginning of the show, the audience came for them.
After a three-hour break, the second part of the show was Timetrain.
The cumulus clouds had dissipated, and the lights on the big screen became the main source of light. The neon signs in the park for checking in and taking photos lit up, and the girls who had recovered their strength flocked to take photos as a souvenir.
The light show that indicated that Timetrain was about to take the stage lit up, and countless drones gathered in the sky to form the word [Timetrain]. The fans who had been waiting for a day cheered loudly no matter how tired they were.
Many of them were fans who had been waiting in the front row during the Equals3 performance, and they were afraid that the first row seats would be occupied after they left, so they took turns to rest during these few hours.
When they saw the words [Timetrain] light up, the surging emotions overwhelmed them. They started crying before anyone saw them.
Hearing the crying, Jiang Juyou looked back and touched her pocket, trying to take out some paper for them, but she had a cell phone with her when she came out, so she had no choice but to comfort them with words.
"It's not out yet, don't cry, don't cry, you're wearing such beautiful clothes, it won't look good if you cry." She stood outside the fence with the staff on site, and the staff behind her brought paper so that she could pass it to the little girls.
Those little girls were obviously high school students, or students who had just entered college. They were still childish, their emotions were exposed, and they cried miserably.
They cried and wiped their noses while saying to Jiang Juyou: "Jiang Zhi, please be nice to our Ye Xing!"
"Jiang Zhi, do you know that Ye Xing always sings very few lyrics?"
"Wuwuwuwuwuwu, let Ye Xing appear on the show more often! Please!"
Jiang Juyou could only nod and smile in response to them.
There were also fans of other Timetrain members, and some asked Jiang Juyou when he would return to the Timetrain operation team.
In the past two days, this matter has been heatedly discussed online. It is said that Jiang Juyou left the Timetrain operation team because he gave up on them, but in fact, Jiang Juyou stopped managing their operation half a year ago. I don't know why it was brought up again at this time.
Jiang Juyu was afraid that her response would become a hot topic and that people who didn't know about it would also know about it, so she pretended not to hear it and turned away.
The drones in the sky gathered into the shape of Monnle flowers. The scene was very similar to their final election night. Fans who saw this scene at the scene couldn't help but shout out.
Amid this gathering of voices, majestic orchestral music sounded, like a pair of striking matchsticks, lighting up the scene.
The screams at the scene made those passers-by have to sigh that their popularity is still high.
The prelude of the music sounded, and the neat and unified cheering words from the audience followed.
"Timetrain! Timetrain! Timetrain—Show them!"
This scene is rare in the top domestic entertainment groups. The fans shouted the cheering words as if they were trained. The passers-by next to them did not understand, but they also knew to sing along with the emphasis of each sentence. As they played, they also followed the rhythm of the fans. The main
force at the beginning was Yao Shuo. As soon as he opened his mouth, the passers-by in the audience knew why Timetrain fans were so crazy.
Yao Shuo's voice quality and sound pressure were the best they had heard today. There was no vocal accompaniment as a backing sound. He captured the atmosphere of the scene with just the first two sentences.
Just two sentences gave the passers-by who came to watch the excitement of Timetrain goosebumps and tingling scalps.
The seven members of Frostine were also there at this time. They were in the front row on the far left of the stage, close to the speakers. When the prelude started, they had already covered their hearts. When Yao Shuo opened his mouth, they looked at each other with their eyes wide open.
"Wow————"
Fans of other bands in the audience were also discussing:
"Yao Shuo's voice quality is really suppressed too much in the recording studio!"
"Oh my god... I didn't expect it. This is my first time watching them live."
"Sure enough, my preference is big vocals. Among the five of them, my favorite is Yao Shuo."
Whether it is timbre or technique, Yao Shuo is the well-deserved number one among the artists of random entertainment. When he is not on the show, he takes various vocal lessons, sees various teachers, and learns techniques.
The one who gave everyone the most surprises tonight was Yao Shuo.
The director also cued Yao Shuo many times. When they scattered and interacted with the audience, the eyes of passers-by followed Yao Shuo. He had silver hair and looked like a lively little fox. Because of the intense dance moves, he sweated a lot on his forehead, and some hair stuck to his forehead.
During the self-introduction, when other teammates were talking about something, Yao Shuo couldn't help but mess up his hairstyle. The silver-white hair was pushed back by him, revealing his forehead. The foxy eyes and his tired and somewhat careless eyes flirted with the female fans in front of him.
"Today is also the last show--" Gao Xiayu was just talking when they heard a burst of screams diagonally in front of them. They all looked over together, all a little confused, not knowing what the group of people were shouting.
The person involved, Yao Shuo, didn't know either, and even moved forward a little, leaning his head over to see what was happening over there, but as soon as he got closer, the group of girls started shouting again. Yao Shuo
understood now, he tugged at his collar to get rid of the heat from his body, smiled at the group of little girls in the audience, and pointed at himself.
The director cut the camera over at the right time, and Yao Shuo's foxy look as he teased the little girls in the audience was broadcast on the big screen.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh--"
Even more people were fooled by Yao Shuo this time.
The four little boys of Frostine were in a slump again. Now they thought Yao Shuo was particularly attractive.
"Why don't I look like that!"
"So handsome... I'll learn from him when I get home."
"Don't do that. You might make me look greasy."
"I'm laughing so hard. I can't imagine what those little girls will look like."
"My sister likes him. I know why. He really charms her."
"My sister also likes guys who look bad."
"Try hard and make your sister a fan."
"That may not work. My sister said we look like people with bad bodies."
"What do you mean?"
"She said you're weak. You're a bunch of idiots! Stop it!"
Before the Timetrain stage was over, Yao Shuo was already on the hot search with his big screen animated pictures.
In the comments section, people who have watched the live show have shared their experiences.
"Yao Shuo is really popular offline, and you must go to listen to his live show, it's amazing!"
"No way, you haven't come to the table yet? I thought everyone came to the table when Yao Shuo was singing Red Fox."
"Come and see the powerful lead singer of our daily online chat room [Fireworks] Timetrain! Enjoy it as soon as you join the pit! Your ears will really thank you!" "I
have seen the live show, the quality of his voice crushes others, I don't understand why the company doesn't let him come out on the music variety show."
"@Random Entertainment, let's see what the public thinks, let Yao Shu come out on the show!"
"Our Yao Shuo has a somewhat Buddhist personality, but he dotes on his fans. He is the type of real man who expresses his love to his fans in a very awkward way! You will definitely regret it if you don't join him!"
Jiang Juyou returned to the backstage and looked at the mobile phone that the assistant handed over. The screenshots on it were all some of the hot searches related to the music festival today. The responses of passers-by in the entries were all recorded by the assistant.
Jiang Juyou flipped through the pages and saw the part where everyone praised Yao Shuo.
Lin Jie happened to be here, and she said to the assistant, "Go find Lin Jie and ask her to come to my place."
After that, Jiang Juyou got on the RV and waited for Lin Jie to come.
Lin Jie hurried over with her phone in her hand. After knocking on the door and coming up, she asked, "Is it about Yao Shuo going on a variety show?"
Jiang Juyou usually manages idol groups, and is more responsible for album planning and stage design. When they go on a show, what show they go on, these things are not her business.
She has been in the circle for so long that she doesn't have to ask these teams why they treat artists so differently.
"You are the one who thinks quickly." Jiang Juyou said, pushing the iced American coffee in front of her.
After Lin Jie sat down, she took a big sip, and after relieving the stuffiness, she sighed, "It feels so good!"
"What's the reason for Yao Shuo?" Jiang Juyou asked her.
From the company's perspective, it is natural to push those who can be pushed on the show, but from a practical perspective, it is impossible to balance the resources in one night.
Ye Xing has not been on variety shows very often, but he has the best fashion resources. Pei Luming often appears on the show, and while he is popular on the show, his business is also continuous.
Gao Xiayu has to prepare for the exam, so he has skipped all the work that can be skipped recently. Chi Qiao has also been on a lot of shows, and because of this, he has also gained the identity of a serious comedian. He often makes everyone laugh with just one sentence.
Yao Shuo also appeared on some shows in the early days, but he is really not suitable for variety shows. He can't grasp the degree of speaking. After appearing on the show, he either says the wrong thing or doesn't say anything. As time goes by, fewer program groups will look for him.
Lin Jie gave the answer in one sentence, "He is different from Sang Mo and Chen Wu. The two of them simply have no sense of variety. Yao Shuo is too sharp-tongued. He performed well in the group variety shows because they were all acquaintances and everyone took his words as a joke. But it's not the same outside. Yao Shuo is always afraid of saying the wrong thing, so he simply doesn't say anything."
Equals3 is also troubled by the word "royal family". Jiang Wangran was first airborne into the debut group, and debuted after less than a month of practice. After his debut, he has been provided with program resources. He has programs on his own platform, and he has also been a frequent guest on many programs after his debut.
The official blog of Equals3 is often occupied by fans of Sang Mo's family, demanding that Sang Mo be treated equally.
The staff also had a hard time speaking out. Sang Mo liked to be quiet, liked to play alone, and had no sense of variety. The variety department even specially made a personal program for him on the late-night radio station.
But it was not so easy to promote him. It was easy for other audiences to boycott him because he had no sense of variety. The team could not take this risk. Compared with being scolded by fans, being scolded by passers-by was more terrible. It was easy to ruin his character image, so they chose another path for Sang Mo.
He has been busy interviewing theater crews recently, and plans to start from a drama actor and move up step by step.
On the contrary, Jiang Wangran is a person who gets along well with everyone. Because he is sweet-talking and good at talking, he is also popular among the employees in the company. After he went out, he was loved by the program staff and he was constantly invited to variety shows.
This cannot be said that the company favors him and promotes resources to him, it is completely because he is suitable for this path.
Lin Jie assured Jiang Juyu, "As expected, you brought them up yourself. You can't bear to see them suffer any injustice, right... Don't worry, Yao Shuo has recently been accepted by a crew and is preparing a musical, but it hasn't been officially announced yet. As for the music variety show, our platform is preparing one and there's a spot reserved for him."
Her words made Jiang Juyu lower her head and smile, "...Yeah."
She had the five members of Timetrain with her since the trainee auditions, and she really couldn't be so cruel as to not take care of them.
Jiang Juyu raised her head with a thoughtful look in her eyes, "Tsk, it's only been four years, why did the scene when I first saw them seem like more than ten years ago."

Sorry, because I had a severe physical reaction to my anxiety disorder, I went to the hospital these few days, got some medicine, and rested for a few days.
I'm really sorry that the experience of following the series has been ruined.
To express my apology, I'll give you a red envelope in the next few days. Just leave a comment!
