Chapter 180 Who taught it to parachute like this?
After the members submitted their project applications, Shi Li carefully placed them in his briefcase and continued, "One more important thing: we need to learn the program's theme song during training. All groups will be performing at the opening ceremony, but we don't know exactly which segment they'll be assigned to yet."
"That is to say, we have to master the entire piece completely so that we can adjust it according to the arrangement during rehearsal."
Seeing the members listening attentively, he continued to explain, "Including our own group performance song, 'Mystery Love,' we have to prepare two songs for the opening ceremony. We also have to balance training for the competition, so time is really tight..."
The production team is really bold, so many groups directly rehearsed together. If any group was not very conscientious and perfunctory...
That would be a good show to watch, but maybe this is exactly the variety show effect that the production team wants to see?
"Wait," Gu Zheng suddenly interrupted, looking at the agent with interest, "Didn't they say we were the last group to receive the notice? The other groups should have been confirmed long ago, right?"
He leaned forward slightly, his eyes gleaming with inquiry, "Even insiders can't reveal some information in advance?"
Make it mysterious, but don't let it cause a big mess when the time comes.
Shi Li was speechless for a moment after being asked this question. His eyes wandered towards the ceiling and he didn't meet Gu Qi's gaze.
There was inside information, but he was specifically told not to tell anyone about it!
He mumbled hesitantly, "The production team said they wanted to do a surprise airborne surprise..."
They said they wanted to make a big move to drain the heat, but he wasn't very clear about it.
Without waiting for Gu Yan to continue to ask tentative questions, Xie Qingyu switched to his secondary account and browsed around the Big Eyes Hot Search List, clicking on the top post #MYST7 All Members Arrived in Beijing#.
The first popular blog post was the news he was looking for. He handed the phone to Gu Qiong, blinked, and said, "Here, no need to ask, it's right here."
Several heads immediately gathered around. The screen displayed:
[Music Trendsetter V: #MYST7 all members arrived in Beijing##Popular idol groups gathered in Beijing##Grape TV's latest variety show project#
Breaking news! Grape TV's popular boy band MYST7 has arrived in Beijing. The following idol groups are currently gathered in Beijing:...
It is rumored that Grape TV will hold an idol sports competition. Which show are you most looking forward to seeing?
The comment section below is naturally filled with fans of various idol groups vying for the front row, but because the "Road to Star Dreams" audition just ended, it's time for fans of each group to compete, and this is a trending search centered around them, so most of the comments section are still their individual comments without group tags. However, since it's the early stages of the audition group, this style is quite normal.
"Who taught it to 'airborne' like this?" Leo applied what he learned immediately, shoving his phone in front of Shi Li, his eyes filled with confusion. "Isn't it clearly written here?"
He tilted his head, unable to understand why such news known to the entire internet could be kept secret.
Shi Li was speechless when he saw the list of contestants that had been almost turned upside down.
He was also helpless. Who knew that these groups were more active than each other? The earliest one came to Beijing for training half a month ago, and was even photographed during training.
It is clear from the look of things that they are aiming to win the championship. They are all the favorites. They are so unrestrained!
"Well..." Shi Li laughed dryly and tried to save face, "At least the program process is still confidential..." Before he finished speaking, he touched his nose guiltily.
The members exchanged glances with each other. Well, it seems that the agent was also fooled by the program crew.
The "TOP IDOL" production team bullied honest people!
Xie Qingyu chuckled and shook his head, put on his headphones, tapped his fingertips on the screen of his mobile phone, pulled up the demo and lyrics of the "TOP IDOL" theme song and glanced at it.
The style of the song is typical passionate, with a simple and catchy melody. Although there is no particularly amazing arrangement, it is suitable for creating a bombastic effect when multiple groups perform together.
As I was concentrating on the lyrics, a message suddenly popped up.
"I love vanilla pudding the most" sent a message - it was Wei Qianze, the mentor of "Road to Star Dreams".
After the show ended, everyone mostly got along with each other as friends in private, but the way they addressed each other, ahem, didn't change much. The main reason was that Wei Qianze liked to use the mentor's music to tease him, and he took full responsibility.
[Vanilla Pudding Lover (Wei Qianze): Wow, our good contestant Qingyu is really trending right now! She's topping the trending searches like crazy! Guess where I am? [evil smile.jpg]]
Xie Qingyu raised the corner of his lips slightly and replied directly: [Beijing City?]
[Is it so obvious?!] The other party replied immediately.
I sent the message at this time specifically, and it just happened to coincide with the hot searches about their arrival in Beijing.
Xie Qingyu's mind raced, and his fingers quickly tapped: [Your group is also going to record "TOP IDOL"?]
Logically speaking, Eclipse, as a top-tier boy band that just finished its tour, does not need to rely on this kind of variety show to maintain its popularity.
Participating in this kind of program is simply giving the producers free attention.
But since Wei Qianze took the initiative to send a message to ask, it is most likely that it has been confirmed.
The dialog box repeatedly displayed "The other party is typing...", and after a while a new message popped up:
[Wow! Xiao Xie, you're such a great fortune teller! Why don't you calculate when this mentor will become the richest man in the world? [rubbing hands in anticipation.jpg]]
Knowing that the other party was teasing him again, Xie Qingyu fought back and shook off the doubts in his heart. Anyway, the two parties had a good relationship in private, so asking such a question was not considered rude.
[Oh, why else~] Wei Qianze's reply was filled with the nonchalant attitude that was typical of him when talking to acquaintances.
[The sponsor gave me so much~ The tour just ended, so I treated it as a publicly funded team building and took some resources back home. I'm so happy~]
Xie Qingyu immediately understood that the last stop of the Eclipse tour was in Beijing. No wonder no media linked them to Grape TV's new variety show.
Now he finally understood why the production team had the confidence to arrange this unseemly "airdrop". It turned out that they were still hiding their trump card.
But I can’t hide it from Yu Yuzi.
"Teacher Wei invited us to dinner tonight. Do you want to go?" Xie Qingyu shook his phone.
Judging from the meaning between the lines of Wei Qianze's words, this should be a friendly get-together between the two groups - it is both an acquaintance between colleagues and a first meeting between competitors.
"Two regiments?" Gu Qi keenly grasped the hidden meaning in the words and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Leo's focus was always different. He rubbed his hands with shining eyes and said, "What are you eating?"
The miserable situation of eating so much that he had to lean on the wall last night has long been forgotten. At this moment, he is just a greedy puppy.
Other members also expressed their agreement.
In this circle, connections are built up bit by bit.
Besides, this dinner was more like a gathering of friends, and with Wei Qianze as the middleman, it wouldn't be awkward or boring.
"How about barbecue?" As soon as Xie Qingyu finished speaking, his cell phone vibrated wildly.
Wei Qianze's news popped up one after another, and he tried his best to recommend a "super super delicious" barbecue restaurant, emphasizing the excellent privacy of the private rooms.
"No problem."
"Anything is fine."
“Yay!!!”
——Leo's cheers were particularly loud. Great! They were saved. On their first day in Jing City, where they were unfamiliar with the place, they could eat delicious barbecue.
After confirming the members' intention, Xie Qingyu was about to reply, but the other party had already sent the address and specific time of the barbecue restaurant.
At the end, he also specifically reminded: [No matter how safe the box is, don't forget to take precautions against paparazzi. We are waiting for you.]
This reminder is indeed necessary.
On one side is the top-tier group Eclipse that just finished their tour, and on the other side is MYST7 who debuted through a talent show and are currently very popular.
If they were photographed together, the barbecue would probably be on the hot search list before it was even cooked.
Shi Li stood aside and listened to the dinner arrangements, and had already planned the itinerary in his mind.
For safety reasons, he must go along, but of course he won't share a box with the artists.
The other team will probably also send an agent to accompany them. At that time, the staff from both sides will set up another table, which will be a good opportunity to communicate with each other.
It's still early for the agreed time, so it's obviously too late to train for the competition now.
Gu Qiong clapped his hands and suggested: "Why don't we practice the theme song first?" This was a piece of cake for MYST7 who had gone through the high-intensity training of the talent show.
It just so happened that the temporary dormitory was equipped with a practice room, which saved me the time of running around outside.
The melody of "TOP IDOL" echoed in the practice room throughout the afternoon.
Although it has not yet reached the level of muscle memory, the members can already perform it smoothly.
Taking advantage of their practice break, Shi Li slipped back to Grape TV's headquarters in Beijing, and only came back hurriedly before departure.
When Xie Qingyu looked up, she saw that her agent's eyes and eyebrows were filled with unconcealable joy, and even his steps seemed to be a little lighter than usual.
It seems that not only is the work going smoothly, but there is also a high probability that there will be some unexpected surprises.
At this moment, the phone suddenly vibrated, and "Love Vanilla Pudding" sent a very arrogant message:
[Where are you? Warning: Latecomers pay! Our team's Scallop Brother hates being waited for. He'll beat up kids~ I can't stop him~~~~]
Xie Qingyu raised an eyebrow and casually sent a [[shivering.gif]] emoticon pack over.
The other side suddenly fell into a strange silence. He guessed that Wei Qianze must have been tripped up by something, so he ignored the news.
When the car was halfway there, the dialog box finally lit up again.
But this time the tone was clearly different:
[Xiao Xie, don't worry, take your time. Someone's card has been confiscated anyway, so tonight's his treat! PS: I only beat up people who spread rumors ^v^]
Xie Qingyu blinked and couldn't help laughing. He was "tripped" by his hands and feet. His cell phone had been confiscated on the spot.
It seems that Wei Qianze was really punished on the spot just now, so he had to "physically mute the microphone".
The one who is replying with his phone now is most likely the Scallop Brother who “would beat up kids” that he just whispered to Cricket, Eclipse’s rapper Dan Bei!
I don't know why, but Xie Qingyu has inexplicably begun to look forward to the upcoming meeting and dinner. I always feel that it will be quite interesting.
While thinking about it, he replied obediently: [Okay~ Shan Beige~]
The other party replied immediately: [^v^]
There was no rebuttal, which meant that his guess was correct, and the person opposite him was indeed Shan Bei. Xie Qingyu couldn't help but observe a three-second silence for Wei Qianze.
So now, is Teacher Wei still alive?
