Chapter 129 Where did everyone go?
After returning from a short day's break, everyone fell into unprecedented busyness.
I used to find Lu Yao’s schedule scary, but now I don’t have to find it scary anymore, because everyone has the same schedule!
Getting up at five in the morning and going to bed at eleven at night, Zhu Xiangming has never felt that sleep time is so precious!
God damn, he's still a child!
Isn't this child abuse?
But Zhu Xiangming only dared to think about this in his heart. Although everyone was visibly tired, for a newly debuted boy group, being busy was the best thing to do compared to resting.
Although it was a bit too busy and everyone's brains were unable to work, everyone was still full of energy. Looking at the daily schedule, although it was painful, everyone was doing their best.
And now, they are gathering at the company at eight o'clock the next day?
Oh my god, are they on vacation?
Gather at 8 o'clock, so I can sleep until 7:30, right?
This is the kind of sleep he can enjoy?
Zhu Xiangming looked at this small piece of news and couldn't believe his eyes.
Bai You even straightened up and got up from the ground and started cheering: "We can get up late tomorrow!"
He pulled Zhu Xiangming on his left and Cang Zizhen on his right, with only that big eight character in his mind and eyes.
He is simply the happiest child in the world at this moment.
Yin Hongxue was originally sitting on the ground leaning against the wall with his eyes closed. After hearing Bai You's movement, he picked up his phone and saw the message in the group. He opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
The face that had been 'dead' for a long time finally showed a lively expression.
Lu Yao stood in the middle of the room, took out his mobile phone and stared at the group message, then clicked on it immediately.
While the members were excited about being able to get up two hours later the next day, the newly-minted coordinates were not having a very happy time during this period.
It has only been two weeks, less than half a month, since the group’s formation night, but in the hearts of the excited fans, it seems like a long time has passed.
Unlike fans who follow actors, fans of actors tend to pay more attention to the film and television works produced by the actors themselves, and the new dramas that they are currently filming or about to film.
When they see that their products are in stock, being broadcast, and there are new cakes, they will feel fulfilled and happy.
But when it comes to chasing idols, especially idols who are trained as talents, fans’ mentality is completely different.
The idol’s charm lies on the stage, but it is not just on the stage, but also in his personality off the stage.
They create images in front of the camera, weaving a beautiful dream for the girls, allowing them to devote their love.
The more you love, the more you want.
I want to see more of Zidan’s face, hear his voice, be curious about his life, and look forward to meeting him...
Idols have to appear in every aspect of their fans' lives in order to maintain such high intensity of love and demands.
The sense of companionship in Minghui Entertainment's development system is also shaped in this way.
Since the trainees were made public, the trainees’ daily lives have been broadcast regularly every week, which not only shows the trainees’ training life, but also provides an emotional sustenance for fans.
The more you watch these videos, the more you understand, and the more emotions you accumulate.
By accumulating fans through such high-intensity exposure, fans will only regard high intensity as normal and look forward to even higher intensity exposure.
It is absolutely unbearable for them to be like the actors' fans who don't see their actors for half a year.
So in this March when the members are extremely busy, the fans have nothing to do.

It's been half a month! It's been a full half a month! Minghui Entertainment hasn't produced anything! Not even any materials. They only released a two-minute video last weekend to select the captain.

Really, there has been no news about the six of them in the past half month. What are they doing?
I still remember how much I was looking forward to their debut half a month ago. I thought I would be happily greeted with a lot of materials next.
As a result, there is no news for half a month [crying]
I've already reread The Fifth Age.

Minghui Entertainment, you were able to squeeze Wang Mingzhi into the group, but you left the newly debuted Fifth Group alone? What are your intentions!!!
【46th Floor】
No, she just debuted, even if she had a job, it wouldn't be that fast.
Besides, didn't they say they weren't going to school or leaving Jing City? They must be busy at the company.
There are indeed a lot of things to do when you just debut, like for new songs, don’t you have to learn them first, practice dancing, and then record?
After recording, we have to shoot music videos and promotional photos... all of these take time, and we can't reveal any information before the new song is released.
I think there is no need to be so anxious, the debut group company will definitely have arrangements, everyone just wait a moment

Are you expecting too much from Minghui Entertainment? Just because the Fifth Epoch and the group launch night were well organized, we can't think that it's all Minghui Entertainment's fault.
The debut variety show is so popular, the show is so interesting, and the group formation night is so exciting. Doesn’t it all prove that Luyang Film and Television can make a show?
After all, the materials shot by Minghui Entertainment are more boring than the other.
So now everyone is looking forward to the fifth group of so many materials, so much work, maybe Minghui Entertainment has no corresponding plan, and has not thought about filming
As for why the fifth group didn't show up...did everyone forget that there are two people in the group who are taking the college entrance exam this year?
With them around, there won't be much work in the next two months.

The first episode of the group variety show is already online, so the second episode must be backstage, right? The third episode must have been edited, the fourth episode is already in production, the fifth episode must have been filmed, and the sixth episode is probably being filmed right now...

He is clearly not that kind of person and doesn't normally do such things, but in front of the camera, for the fans, he will act in a way that everyone likes, in order to win the fans' favor...
There is such a heart for fans of the idol, I am almost fainted by his charm, okay

Yes, yes, yes! And Lu Yao is really willing to do a lot of things in front of the camera!
Ask him to act coquettishly and he will act, ask him to act cute and he will act. Last time, on An's birthday, no one else wanted to wear Lolita, but Lu Yao had no objection at all! After wearing it, it was so beautiful that it made me cry!
Lu Yao knows that fans want to watch it and fans love to watch it, so he will do these things, and he will do these things willingly.

It's true that she's wearing Lolita. I see other people are avoiding it completely, treating that outfit as a poisonous beast. No, it's Cong'an's birthday, just a surprise for him. I'm speechless that they're avoiding it like that, as if wearing women's clothes will kill them.
Some people's manliness is really not too serious

As soon as the group variety show was broadcast, the fans' somewhat restless hearts calmed down.
The quarrel was paused, and they briefly reconciled with Minghui Entertainment for an episode of the group variety show, happily discussing the latest materials.
Fans are so easy to satisfy.
The members who were just happy about not having to get up early the next day, immediately started holding their phones to COS the emoticon pack [Old man with phone on subway.jpg].
They saw that not long after the news about the next day's itinerary was posted in the group, Zhu Xiangming had only typed the word "received" when new messages appeared in the group.
Lu Yao: What's going on? @丁凌
Everyone: ? ?
What did they see?
Lu Yao directly tagged Ding Ling. Why did he tag Ding Ling? Is there something wrong with this schedule?
Bai You read the schedule again word by word: filming a group variety show in the morning, attending classes and taking birthday photos in the afternoon, and practicing in the evening. Is that ok?
Ding Ling replied in the group.
Ding Ling: There have been some changes in the plan
Then there was no new message in the group.
There seemed to be no problem in the conversation between the two, but Zhu Xiangming silently deleted the two words "received" he had just typed, secretly looked at Lu Yao, and had a bad premonition in his heart.
What made Lu Yao, who only knew how to send '1', ask a question?
Is it love? Is it responsibility?
Lu Yao was standing and still looking at his phone. Zhu Xiangming quickly glanced at the phone and found that there was no new message in the group. Could it be that Ding Ling sent a private message to Lu Yao?
Zhu Xiangming withdrew his gaze and turned around to see that everyone else was looking at Lu Yao.
It was very subtle, but it couldn't be hidden from him.
Because that's how he sees it.
Ha ha.
The sudden group message was just a brief interlude. After the teacher arrived, everyone started practicing the dance to the new song as planned.
Although they could often rehearse three or four stages a week when preparing for the concert, with a short time and high efficiency, it seems that now that more than a week has passed and the progress in learning new songs and dances seems very slow.
But as it is the first song after debut, everyone is very cautious about it, wanting to keep improving and do their best.
When six people jump in front of a mirror, they must give the feeling of being one person, which gives people initial satisfaction.
They danced like this for dozens of minutes, until their hands and feet were sore. Zhu Xiangming waved his hand to indicate that he couldn't go on any longer and needed to rest. Then he picked up his phone and saw the new message that appeared in the group while they were practicing.
Zhu Xiangming subconsciously turned around, but didn't see Lu Yao. Instead, he saw Yin Hongxue at a glance.
The other person met his gaze at this moment, without saying a word, but there was the same understanding in his eyes.
It was as if something they had guessed in advance had come true, giving them a sense of accomplishment as if they had gotten full marks on a test.
Although this full score test paper doesn't seem to be a good thing.
So the practice was suspended, and at nine o'clock in the evening, everyone gathered in the conference room according to the message in the group and started the meeting.
Yes, after posting the next day's schedule in the group and after Lu Yao raised questions in the group, Ding Ling had no other explanation and directly asked everyone to hold a meeting.
No matter how you think about it, there are some unknown things here.
There were not many people in the conference room. In addition to Ding Ling, there was the new agent of the Fifth Regiment, as well as two staff members who were often seen by everyone these days. They had been following them when they were shooting materials in the past two days. They should be the staff brought by the new agent.
These people were sitting scattered in the conference room. When they heard the door open, they looked up at the members who came in.
The new agent spoke up: "Now that you're here, find a place to sit."
A very familiar look.
Qiu Yuge pursed her lips slightly, said nothing, and sat down opposite him.
The others also sat down quietly beside Qiu Yuge. Lu Yao followed and sat at the end, a position where he could see everyone.
He swept his eyes across the entire conference room. Besides the six of them, there were Ding Ling, Sun Yutong, Li Qiang, Xu Bin, the new agent Wu Hongyuan, and two new planners whose names Lu Yao didn't know because they hadn't introduced themselves.
There are thirteen people in total.
After everyone was seated, Wu Hongyuan smiled slightly and began to speak: "I know it's very late, and it's not very convenient to hold a meeting now. I was thinking of finding a time that would make everyone more comfortable, but your teacher Ding strongly requested it, so I can only hold this meeting now to synchronize with you on future work arrangements."
"As a newly debuted group, after these two weeks of work, I believe everyone has realized that the intensity of work after debut is completely different from that before debut."
“There’s a lot more work, and the demands on you are much higher.”
"But when I lead you from now on, I will definitely start with you. While ensuring your condition, I will ensure that you can face every day and every work with the best spirit and energy."
"After all, if you're too tired, you won't be able to do your work well."
"Of course, I'm not doubting your ability by saying this." Wu Hongyuan looked at Ding Ling with a smile on his face. "It's just that I don't think there's any need to rush. Let's take our time, right?"
Ding Ling smiled and said nothing.
Wu Hongyuan coughed lightly, looked at Qiu Yuge and the others sitting across from him, and spoke again: "I see you've been working continuously for nearly half a month, so I've adjusted tomorrow's group variety show recording..."
Before Wu Hongyuan finished speaking, a crisp sound broke the silence in the meeting room.
Wu Hongyuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw Lu Yao sitting at the end, looking at him from afar, tapping his knuckles on the table, making a rhythmic sound.
"Since we know time is tight, there's no need to waste time on this nonsense." Lu Yao looked at the two planners and said, "Tell us what we're going to record tomorrow."
The smile on Wu Hongyuan's face froze, but soon became natural again. He smiled and looked at the corner of the office where two planners were sitting.
After Wu Hongyuan looked over, a planner stood up.
Zhu Xiangming also looked back, but he was looking at Lu Yao. He looked for a long time until the other party looked back at him, then he abruptly looked away.
No, I always feel that things are not quite the same as he guessed?
The planner had already projected his own PPT onto the TV and started talking.
"Tomorrow's recording session will be centered around adventure, which suits the members' ages and styles. For this purpose, I've found a suitable location for filming." The slideshow changed, revealing several photos of the location from different angles. "There are indoor and outdoor areas, and we can play a variety of games. We can have one episode for each game, and all the games combined will form a series..."
“…I believe that these games can show the members’ mental outlook and are very interesting.”
The planner's speech was very smooth and she was very familiar with PPT. It was obvious that this was not the first time she had presented this plan.
Wu Hongyuan nodded with satisfaction.
"So tomorrow we're going to record the first episode of this new project."
Now everyone understood, but new questions also arose.
"What about the group variety show we recorded before?"
"Continue recording." Wu Hongyuan had already thought about it. "Two group shows, two different styles, no impact."
Qiu Yuge nodded doubtfully after hearing this.
Lu Yao started knocking on the table again, and Wu Hongyuan looked over.
“Where is the recording location?”
Wu Hongyuan didn't know the answer to such a specific question. He looked at the planner who was still standing in front of the computer.
The planner immediately said, "On Jianshe Road."
Wu Hongyuan looked at Lu Yao and nodded, indicating that he had answered the other party's question.
Then he saw that Lu Yao stopped knocking on the table, but Lu Yao started talking.
"Jianshe Road is a forty-minute drive from the dormitory. Based on the time you provided of eight in the morning, and considering the weekday morning rush hour, if we leave at eight, it will take at least an hour and a half to reach our destination. If we put on makeup first and then leave at nine, we should be able to reach our destination in an hour, which would be ten o'clock."
"We'll arrive at 10 o'clock to start filming. How long will it take? One hour? Two hours? Then we'll take an hour's drive back to the company, rest, and start the afternoon shoot."
“Will this make things better?”
