Chapter 231 Group Variety Show Recording, Arrival at Korea
"Just let me die~ Woo~"
Wei Liangchen repeatedly banged his forehead against the back of the seat, his whole body exuding an air of despair.
Despite his desperate resistance, he was eventually ruthlessly carried away by the staff and had to watch helplessly as his last stocks were confiscated.
Oh, it’s worth mentioning that seeing him lying on the ground half-dead was really pitiful, the staff was merciful and stuffed two lollipops into his palms.
Although this is more like hospice care for the dying [fine]
"Get out of here! If you hit the back of the chair again, I'll kill you~"
Gu Yan turned his head and uttered the most terrifying threat in the gentlest tone.
He was in an equally bad mood at the moment. The secret bag he had modified by staying up late to sew was discovered on the spot, and all the "strategic materials" inside were destroyed.
No! It should be said that the atmosphere on this business car heading to the international airport was very low, and everyone's mood was not very good.
Xie Qingyu vaguely felt that this didn't seem like a group variety show recording, but more like a prison van being taken to the execution ground.
"Is it that exaggerated?" Xie Qingyu couldn't help but asked with a smile.
"Ayu, you don't know the prices in Koria!"
Ding explained through gritted teeth, "We have 500,000 Cori coins. Not only do we have to complete the required tourist attraction check-in and song performance tasks, but we also have to rely on this little money to survive and get to the next stop. It's killing us!"
The production team is currently covering the airfare and hotel for the first leg, but the 500,000 will cover all their expenses during their stay in Coria: food, transportation, and entrance fees to attractions...
What’s even worse is that only after completing all the tasks at the current station can you proceed with the song promotion task to unlock the funds for the next station.
Starting from the second stop, all expenses, including air tickets and accommodation, have to be paid from their hard-earned promotion funds!
Ding Zai couldn't help but sigh again, this is not a travel adventure variety show, it is clearly a survival challenge!
As soon as he said this, the whole carriage became even more silent.
Anyway, they are not sunny and energetic idols, so just leave it like this and destroy them!
"500,000 Kaoria coins is equivalent to 2,650 RMB. Even with the high prices in Kaoria, it should be enough to last us four or five days. I've asked around, and the hotel the production team booked has a kitchen, so we can buy our own groceries and cook. We can walk to the nearby check-in spots. As for the all-important performance stage..."
Xie Qingyu raised a sly smile at the corner of his mouth, "How big your heart is, how big your stage is~"
As the most reliable person in the team, Xie Qingyu always likes to plan ahead and never fight an unprepared battle!
Since the production team dared to give a budget of 500,000, it means that this number has been precisely calculated. As long as there is no extravagance or waste, it is completely sufficient.
not to mention…
"Even if we really reach the end of our rope," Xie Qingyu blinked, "I won't let anyone starve~"
Some things cannot be said too clearly.
Who made him so successful in maintaining the image of a "good boy"?
The frank look when he handed over the luggage for inspection made the staff relax their vigilance towards him.
His teammates were looted, but his "secret weapon" was intact.
There's nothing we can do about it. It's their own fault for not checking carefully. Xie Qingyu has never admitted that he is an honest man!
Yu Yuzi has a lot of ideas~
Let's all learn from this. The possibility of pretending so much without being discovered is almost zero.
If Ding Zai's words cast a layer of frost on everyone's hearts, then Xie Qingyu's hint was undoubtedly a timely help.
The members immediately understood.
Yes, Xie Qingyu’s luggage passed the inspection “cleanly”, but this just shows that... things are not that simple!
Seeing Xie Qingyu revealing a rare childish and smug expression, Gu Yan and Bai Lang quickly turned their heads away to look out the window, fearing that the smile in their eyes would be too obvious.
Ding Zai and You Jinzhao immediately started praising, their thumbs up almost touching the roof of the car.
Leo blinked his eyes and looked at his brother with admiration.
Although Wei Liangchen was slow to react, seeing that everyone looked happy, he finally realized that his future was settled and grinned foolishly.
Fortunately, Xie Qingyu had foresight and suggested that since the team members needed to calm down, the official recording should start from the time they boarded the plane at the airport.
Otherwise, their appearance would be exposed under the high-definition camera.
At this moment, everyone in the car is their own people, even the driver is an old master who has a good relationship with them, and the news will never leak out.
Xie Qingyu narrowed his eyes and raised his chin gracefully.
He raised his right hand, lightly touched his lips with his index finger, and then made a downward gesture.
The look in his eyes clearly said, "He also knows that this jade is excellent, but don't get too carried away after getting off the car. If you get caught, all the previous performances will be in vain!"
He looked like a ragdoll cat that had caught a little bird and was proudly licking its paws and pretending not to care after being praised by its owner. However, his bright eyes and the slightly shaking tip of his tail had already revealed his inner joy.
It's so cute that it makes everyone feel soft-hearted.
The most troublesome survival problem has been solved, and everyone is finally in the mood to check today's album performance.
I can only say that their efforts in wasting half their lives on the debut album "Seventh Night" were not in vain. The results are really too good. All the data cannot be described as excellent. It is simply a phenomenal explosion!
Messages of congratulations from friends kept popping up on my phone, and the entire internet was hotly discussing the narrative line of the album, discussing how bold and innovative this talent show concept group created by Grape TV was, and analyzing the secret of their success.
Xie Qingyu swiped the screen. Netizens and fans have always been the most sober judges.
The audience knows clearly whether an album has been polished carefully, how much effort has been put into it, and where the effort has been put into it.
Capital pursues profit and always wants to use the lowest cost and the most aggressive marketing to create a hit product.
But what they ignore is precisely the most essential thing about music. Why are the catchy songs on the market so short-lived?
Why are classic old songs still the most requested songs in KTV?
I want to sing a popular song, but I find that I can’t remember the title no matter how hard I try. This is because I lack a real memorable point.
As a musician, Xie Qingyu does not judge the choices of others, but he always sticks to his own persistence: before seeing the road ahead clearly, every step must be taken steadily and cautiously.
Now that we have seen through the current impetuousness of the music scene, we must hold ourselves to even higher standards.
It doesn't have to be pure and otherworldly, but at least it has to be true to your conscience and worthy of every expectation and love.
"Hey, with so many rival scenes, why are Enren and President Jian the only ones who have topped the trending searches?"
Wei Liangchen asked in confusion about this hot search term that everyone ignored.
After all, fans can support CPs, but at least they themselves cannot point it out. There have been many popular CPs in the team since the draft period, and they are not blind to see this.
But we can't really live up to the fantasies netizens have created, right? Wouldn't that be so awkward and embarrassing? It would be a complete mess!
But Wei Liangchen was so brazen as to insist on breaking this window paper. I don’t know if he was pretending to be stupid on purpose or if he really didn’t understand what was going on?
What’s even more amazing is that not only did he ask, he also clicked on the trending search on the spot, amplified and played the animated picture back and forth, and played the volume out loud so that everyone in the car could hear it.
This made Xie Qingyu feel a little embarrassed. Although he and Bai Lang tried to reduce their interactions in front of the camera, CP fans didn't need the real couple to show off their affection.
They can dig out the "big sugar" from the clues themselves.
Sometimes this kind of subtle "sour literature" actually makes CP fans even more obsessed.
Even Xie Qingyu, a seasoned veteran of random couples, would be shocked when he occasionally read their essays. When had he unknowingly dated so many people?!
Not only are there big fights between CPs within the team, but there are also matchmakings everywhere outside the team.
Although he has also experienced the CP craze in another world, as his popularity has reached the peak, it is rare to see such a "one partner per capita" situation!
They are all talented, especially those who have a background in literature, cough cough... He didn't dare to read them carefully, but he chose not to!
"If you ask me, Mr. Jian's filming of these scenes is just so-so. My scenes with my benefactor are more exciting!"
Wei Liangchen stared at the screen for a long time and finally came to this conclusion - or rather, he was heading for this conclusion.
Although his outspoken personality often hurts his teammates, everyone actually envies him the most.
After all, Wei has a good reputation, so no one will take what he says seriously, not even his fans, and certainly not... the person involved.
Just like now, he began to enthusiastically share netizens' wonderful comments: "Look, my benefactor, netizens all say that you are worthy of entering the adult stage and are having more and more fun~"
Wei Liangchen made faces and grinned mischievously, misusing his face again.
Xie Qingyu didn't even need to answer his call, as he also saw the popular comment.
At this moment, he just wanted to look up to the sky and sigh - where did he spend his money?
The plot of the MV is decided by the director and screenwriter, so is it a sin to act well?
Besides, the whole group has rival scenes, why is he the only one being slandered?
He wasn't even an adult when filming took place, and like Leo, his emotional arc was the most restrained. There weren't even a handful of scenes in total, so why is it being said that it was filmed in some restricted area?!
Xie Qingyu's ignorant and aggrieved look was so adorable, Gu Qiong gave her a look without any expression.
You Jinchao understood what he meant and covered Wei Liangchen's chattering mouth with his hand.
"Actually, most of the comments are praising your acting skills," Gu Zheng naturally changed the subject. "When was the last shot of the title song filmed? We haven't seen it yet."
As long as it was someone praising his brother, Leo would give the post a thumbs-up, without even making eye contact. "Yeah, that scene was amazing! I watched it on repeat at least twenty times!"
"It's really amazing." Bai Lang confirmed briefly and forcefully.
You Jinzhao, who was busy subduing Wei Liangchen, automatically skipped the speech part. Ding Zai took over tacitly and finished: "Tell us the story behind the scenes?"
Xie Qingyu's ears turned red from the praise, and her toes curled up unconsciously. She tapped her knees lightly with her fingertips: "It's mainly because of the director's talent. I..."
They were talking about the shocking final shot at the end of "Rose No. 404".
That is the single shot that Xie Qingyu accidentally shot at the covered bridge before, but he didn’t expect it to be edited here by the director.
Not only does it fit the theme perfectly, it also directly overturns all previous inferences of netizens, triggering a new round of analysis frenzy.
Of course, there is also a lot of credit for this~
………
The three-hour flight passed in a flash.
The direct flight from Yun City to Seoul landed smoothly.
Considering the limited popularity in Corea and the fact that it was during the recording period of the program, the members simply wore masks and thought they could go to the hotel in a low-key manner.
Who would have thought that as soon as she left the airport, Xie Qingyu was recognized by local fans.
"Cheong…Oppa Yu?"
Although the pronunciation is awkward, it is obvious who is being called.
Everyone's eyes lit up, and their first reaction was - this popularity might attract a lot of audiences, thereby obtaining more funds for subsequent trips!
