Chapter 193: Competing with Korean Boys Group
In the airport terminal.
After sang two high-quality songs, Lin Zhixing's sleepiness and fatigue disappeared. He sat up straight and asked Dong Chen beside him curiously, "Dong, I heard that there are four more guests on this show. Who are they?"
"Brother Lin, you really treat this as a trip. You really don't care about this at all."
Dong Chen smiled helplessly and shook his head, explaining: "Among the four guests, the most famous and the most senior is the rock singer Wang Feng. I was just born when he debuted."
"I don't like him very much."
Ji Yu shrugged and said frankly, "Although he is very capable in the field of music, I don't like men who are playboys and gamblers. His arrogance and some of his remarks also disgust me."
"I don't like it either."
Dong Chen nodded in agreement and continued, "The second one is Zhang Huichen, the queen of TV drama theme songs in recent years. She debuted as the champion of a talent show. Her excellent TV drama theme songs have made her famous, and she is quite active on variety shows."
"The third one is the runner-up of the first season of "I Am the King of Singers", the iron lung little princess Deng Xiaoyu, who is also active in various variety shows and has developed quite well."
"The last one is also a singer who debuted in a music variety show. He has strong creative ability and is especially good at folk songs. He is less famous than the first three."
"Ok, got it."
Lin Zhixing nodded and continued chatting.
A girl wearing a black cap and a black mask, looking cool yet a little cute, came over with smiling eyes and said hello: "Hello, you are Fengqi Wutong and Feiyue Miracle, right?"
The combination of petite figure and special accent made Ji Yu's eyes light up and he recognized her first, "Hello, you are Deng Xiaoyu, right?"
"It's me."
Deng Xiaoyu smiled and nodded, greeted Ji Yu, turned his head and looked at Lin Zhixing, his eyes revealing a trace of admiration, "This must be Brother Oh Ye, I really like your work, I am your loyal fan, please sign an autograph for me later!"
“Sure, sure.”
Lin Zhixing smiled and made an OK gesture.
Deng Xiaoyu politely greeted everyone one by one, "It's an honor to embark on this musical journey with you all."
She has a very sweet mouth and in just a few minutes, she left a good impression on the four people.
…
The other side.
"It must be very tiring to record this show, and I have to play with a bunch of kids."
Wang Feng, wearing black shorts, short-sleeved shirt and a baseball cap pulled down low, followed his assistant to the terminal hall.
The female assistant, who was carrying a lot of small luggage, had beads of sweat on her forehead. She tried her best to follow him and nodded, saying, "It will be a bit hard, but I hope this show will become popular."
"It's easier to be a mentor."
As soon as the two of them sat down, the female assistant who was looking for a tissue to wipe her sweat noticed Lin Zhixing and others sitting in the back seat, and patted Wang Feng's arm, "Brother Feng, they're here, should we sit in the back as well?"
Without even turning his head, Wang Feng took out his phone and looked at the message, "We'll see each other when we get on the plane. It's not appropriate for me to take the initiative to go over and say hello to them."
…
Lin Zhixing was chatting animatedly.
"Hui Chen, have you ever lived there?"
Zhang Huichen, who is carefree and outgoing, nodded with a smile, "Not only did I live there, I also joined a girl group there, but it later disbanded and I returned to China to develop my career."
Ji Yu smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Wow, then you can be our translator."
Mao Nan, who has a watermelon-shaped head and wears square-framed glasses, is shy and not very talkative. He just listens nearby.
…
"Teacher Wang!"
"Hey, hello everyone!"
While queuing for boarding, the group met Wang Feng. Everyone greeted him one by one and completed a simple meeting.
There are two seats on either side of the aisle in first class.
Lin Zhixing asked Song Ge to sit inside, with Wang Feng and Mao Nan next to him. Wang Feng's assistant was in the economy class.
"Teacher Wang, do you speak Korean?"
Mao Nan, who was sitting by the window, felt that it was not good to remain silent, so he kept silent for five minutes, then smiled and started talking to Wang Feng next to him.
"Oh, just hello and thank you."
Wang Feng said perfunctorily, put down the magazine in his hand, crossed his legs, turned his head and said: "Xiao Lin, I have seen your performance in "I Am the King of Singers"."
"Sorry, the space is too small."
Wang Feng turned around and talked to Mao Nan who was patting his pants, and moved his feet outward.
"It's all right."
Mao Nan smiled, waved his hand, and sat down inside.
Lin Zhixing looked at him with a serious face, smiled and nodded, not knowing what to say.
Eye to eye…
After a moment, Wang Feng pointed at the handrail with his fingertips and asked seriously, "What is your dream?" with the attitude of a senior in the music industry.
"I……"
Lin Zhixing opened his mouth and seemed to be about to say something, but he stopped himself, feeling a little tense.
The insertion of this topic was a bit too sudden, as if he was on the stage at the moment and he was the mentor high above.
Lin Zhixing forced a smile and replied, "Make some achievements in the music industry."
Wang Feng nodded and gave a thumbs up, "Work hard, and you will make progress after recording this show."
baffling……
The flight from Beijing to Seoul is very fast, taking a total of 1 hour and 35 minutes.
After the singers got off the plane, they met the program director Hao Xu. After a brief chat, they boarded the program bus and headed to their accommodation.
Lin Zhixing and Dong Chen lived in the same room. It was already three o'clock in the morning when they finished packing and lay down on the bed in the hotel.
…
Six o'clock in the morning.
Under the arrangement of director Hao Xu, the camera crew was in place.
As a nanny car stopped at the door of the B&B, the recording of the first episode of "Singing Around the World" officially began.
"Here we go, number one!"
“The show starts so early!”
"Singing Around the World" adopts the form of live broadcast and recorded broadcast, and daily live broadcast is random.
A female host was off-camera, narrating the show.
[The idol culture created by Kimchi Country is sought after by many young people. Today, the singers will meet with them here to discuss how to win the hearts of Kimchi Country audiences. ]
The camera turns.
The door of the nanny car opened, and a blonde beauty stepped out. Her pair of eye-catching long legs instantly made the male viewers in the live broadcast room wake up in the morning.
"Wow, it's Hyoyeon!"
“Still so beautiful!”
[The singers are still sleeping, but the mysterious guest arrives quietly. She will prepare a hearty Korean breakfast for the singers and lead them to have an in-depth exchange with the idol singers. ]
[Kim Hyo-yeon is the dancer of Girls' Moment. Having studied Chinese, she is the perfect choice for the singer's tour guide.]
(I don’t know how to change my Korean name, so I just copied it.) When Kim Hyoyeon arrived here, the first thing she did was to prepare a special breakfast for the singers.
After working hard for an hour and serving breakfast to the table, they started to wake up the contestants.
…
Twenty minutes later.
The singers, who were severely sleep-deprived, washed up and gathered around the dining table.
Lin Zhixing glanced at the table and thought the breakfast was pretty good, with a variety of pickles, fried eggs, fried sausages, rice, and kelp soup.
"tasty!"
“Very delicious!”
As an idol artist, it is not easy for him to come early to make breakfast for the guests. The singers were very supportive and the taste was indeed good.
"Eat more, pigeon."
Lin Zhixing picked up the fried egg from his plate and gave it to Song Ge.
Song Ge pointed at the scallion kimchi on the table with his chopsticks and said in a low voice: "I know why they have to brush their teeth three times a day."
"Hyoyeon, what time will you cook for us today?"
Zhang Huichen took a sip of kelp soup, gave a thumbs up and asked.
Kim Hyoyeon narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Five-thirty."
"Thanks for your hard work!"
When Zhang Huichen heard the time, she couldn't help but think of the six months she had spent here. It was really not easy for them under such glamorous looks.
Wang Feng saw that the girl group member in front of him could speak Chinese, so he looked her up and down, put down his chopsticks, and said with a smile: "We don't know Korean, can you teach us some simple words to communicate, so we can learn it."
"OK."
Kim Hyoyeon smiled and nodded, then made a heart shape with her hands and said, "Sarangheyo!" (I love you) Wang Feng held his cheek, raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Really?"
When the singers who were eating heard this, they were so envious that they almost spit out their food. Except for Song Ge who was concentrating on eating, the other girls rolled their eyes.
"That's awesome. You didn't forget to flirt with girls even in a foreign country, right?"
"Luckily I didn't have breakfast, I was going to throw up. Look at your serious face, you think you're handsome, right?"
"Why did the program team invite him? I will definitely give a bad review when the recorded version comes out!"
The audience in the live broadcast room were also annoyed by Wang Feng, and there was a lot of cursing on the public screen.
…
After breakfast, the group boarded the production team’s bus and headed to “MS”, the largest entertainment company in Korea.
"Pigeon, what do you think of Seoul?"
Lin Zhixing looked at Song Ge who was looking out the window curiously and asked with a smile.
“It feels similar to Beijing and Shanghai.”
After Song Ge finished speaking, he nudged him with his shoulder. When Lin Zhixing turned around, a camera came over.
[We are about to meet the idol boy group "SuperBoy" and the girl group "Girls' Moment", are you looking forward to it? 】
“I’m quite looking forward to it.”
Lin Zhixing sat up straight, smiled and nodded, "They have their own mature system in entertainment. I usually listen to their music and have some ideas. I just think of it as sharing music and experiencing various aspects of culture and music exchange."
Ji Yu, who was sitting in the back row, was too sleepy to concentrate. He patted Dong Chen's thigh and asked curiously, "What did you ask just now? How did Brother Lin answer?"
"I don't look forward to meeting them."
Class representative Dong Chen adjusted his glasses and said, "Brother Lin said that he was looking forward to showing off in front of them."
…
…
After a half-hour drive, we arrived at the idol manufacturing base "MS" company in Seoul.
After getting off the car, he did not immediately start the meeting, but instead took the singers on a tour of the company.
In the dance room.
“Hey hey hey hey…”
The three SuperBoy members Siwon, Ryeowook, and Donghae, dressed in casual suits, are dancing hard to the music in front of the projection screen.
The song is over.
The three people walked to the screen and expressed their gratitude to the audience in the live broadcast room. MS Company allowed its artists to live broadcast without affecting their work.
Suddenly, the door of the dance studio opened.
"Good morning, senior!"
The other two members of Girls' Moment, Choi Sooyoung and Jessica Jung, came to the dance studio to prepare in advance. "The singers from China have already arrived at the company."
"knew."
Siwon nodded, looked at the projection screen in front of him, and replied to the fans' comments, "You want to see singers from China? Sure, they will be here soon."
Five minutes later...
The singers of "Singing Around the World", led by Kim Hyoyeon, came to the dance studio where they met.
"Hello hello!"
With the help of Kim Hyoyeon's translation, the singers from both sides exchanged simple greetings.
Except for Ji Yu who was very excited, everyone else was quite calm.
"Wow, Ryeowook is so handsome!"
"Xiu-yeon, my goddess!"
Unlike the barrage in China, Korean audiences' attention was focused on "Song Ge".
"Oh! What's that tall girl's name? She's so white and pretty!"
"So beautiful, like a combination of Maggie Cheung and Joey Wong."
Chinese music has never been able to open up the Korean market, but they were fascinated by Hong Kong films in the 1990s.
Kim Hyoyeon pointed at the three members of SuperBoy and introduced them, "They are the No. 1 boy band in our country."
He then pointed at Lin Zhixing and the others and said, "They are all singers who mainly sing and rarely dance. They basically have never danced on stage. Today is the day for them to learn dancing. Let's exchange ideas with each other."
[They are a group that is good at singing and dancing. The singers did not expect that they would face the huge challenge of learning singing and dancing performances when they first met them.]
"Let's jump here first."
After Kim Hyoyeon finished speaking, dynamic music started and the three members of SuperBoy, one in front and two behind, began to perform a dance in front of the camera.
“Wow, so cool!”
The female fans in the live broadcast room went crazy.
Lin Zhixing watched the dance of the three of them carefully. He had heard that these boy band members had to undergo about ten hours of singing and dancing training every day. Now seeing it with his own eyes, he could say that they were indeed very good and there was no flaw to be found.
After the three members of SuperBoy performed their dance, they looked at Lin Zhixing and his group.
"Since we are communicating, let's show it to each other."
Kim Hyoyeon narrowed her eyes and smiled, looking at Wang Feng, who was dressed in a jacket and leather pants, and said, "It's obvious that this guy can dance."
The camera turns to Wang Feng.
His face was full of resistance. He stretched out his hand to push Lin Zhixing out, and said with a smile: "I don't look like a dancer. Let Xiaolin go. Xiaolin is good at square dancing."
Good job, old Deng!
Lin Zhixing turned around and grinned at him, then waved to Dong Chen and Ji Yu to come over. They had no choice but to jump out of this situation.
"One, two, three, four"
"Two Two Three Four"
Lin Zhixing shouted to the beat and took Dong Chen and Ji Yu to perform a short square dance called "The Most Exciting National Style" that the aunties liked.
"puff!"
The three members of SuperBoy tried hard to hold back their laughter. The Korean netizens who watched the whole process in the live broadcast room all burst into laughter and started to mock them.
"What is this they are dancing to?"
"Is it aerobics? Is this kind of dance popular there? It looks so funny!"
"The singers and dancers over there are so bad, they can't compare to ours."
Although they were communicating with each other, there was an inexplicable sense of tension at the scene.
Zhang Huichen has lived in South Korea for more than half a year and can understand most of the comments. Looking at the mocking comments in front of her, her clenched fists turned white at the knuckles.
"I want to dance too!"
