The countdown to "Night of Stars" is less than 12 hours away. The performance time is 6:00 pm, but since 6:00 am, many people have been waiting outside the venue.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the contestant's bus came to the gate of the venue. From the moment it entered the main road, the bus slowed down passively. The voices of fans on both sides of the railing came one after another, and they were the team leaders and station brothers and sisters of various support clubs. Staff had to maintain order on both sides.
Shen Qi raised the curtain of the bus slightly, and saw the fans on the side of the road holding their telephoto lenses and waiting, because it was daytime, everyone politely did not turn on the flash. Among them, a short girl staggered and was supported by her companion in time. When she raised her head again, her eyes happened to meet the factory manager.
Shen Qi raised his hand, made a gesture of "holding it firmly", and smiled again.
The girl blushed suddenly, hugged the camera tightly, and forgot to make a sound, but the fans behind her screamed.
"It's the factory manager! The factory manager saw me! Ahhhh!"
When Shen Yuan heard the voice, she also leaned over to look out, not wanting to see a bigger commotion from the crowd as soon as she showed her head.
"It's a koi! The koi is looking at me!"
"Wang Fuyuan, give me a coin!"
"My God, I sincerely ask if I will marry my current boyfriend?"
"Yuanyuan, take a look at mom! Should mom take the postgraduate entrance examination or the civil service examination this year? I'll just wait for your words!"
Shen Yuan: ... Tired of heart, I want to find a group of fans with normal painting style!
Twenty contestants got out of the car one after another and entered the staff channel under the escort of the staff. Shen Qi walked among the crowd and saw a few familiar faces with sharp eyes. They were the girls who were near the stage for the first performance. They raised their toes and waved the lights, their cheeks flushed with exhaustion in the hot weather, just to let Shen Qi see themselves.
Taking advantage of the staff not paying attention, Shen Qi waved at the other party.
The small group of people looked at her and immediately exploded. However, they didn't lose control for too long. After screaming for a few seconds, they quieted down. Several people discussed something in whispers, and then shouted in unison—
"Director, do you still remember the agreement we made at the performance?"
They yelled together and loudly, even fans from other houses looked over. The old fans of "Once Upon a Time" immediately knew that they were talking about the first performance, and Shen Qi shouted to the fans on the spot.
At that time, Shenqi had just finished performing, and the group of "Crazy" went through several disturbances, and finally became a big hit. Before the girl left the stage, she shouted to the crying fans in the audience, she said - don't cry! I will not let you down, I will definitely debut!
And three months later, from spring to summer, Shen Qi not only entered the debut position, but also firmly took root on the TOP1 throne.
Thinking about it now is like a dream, not only the fans of Shen Qi's family are crying, but fans of other families are envious, but they also feel a sense of relief that the bear has grown up. After all, the factory manager has come all the way, and everyone has seen it, and there is no way to be jealous. Who makes everyone strive for success in all aspects!
The voices here have already caused commotion, the staff was afraid of trouble, and told the players to enter the arena quickly, Shen Qi had to quicken his pace.
Unexpectedly, when she was about to enter the door, she suddenly took off the mask while the staff were not paying attention, and said loudly: "I, remember, got it!"
The girl tried her best to jump high in the crowd a few times, but was quickly "dragged away" by her companions. The fans whose eyes were red just now were amused by her again.
Her cubs have always been like this, they are so cute and cute!
The VIP room of the venue is the penultimate room closest to the stage, and the neighborhood is very quiet.
Chu Hua's assistant to the chairman, Xu Tezhu, exchanged a few words with the security guard, and then looked at the innermost box.
That room has a better location than this one. After a while, you can overlook the entire stage from the inside of the glass, and people outside will not realize that this is also a VIP stand, a real "first class" , was also his initial goal.
He had communicated with the venue and the program team three days in advance to reserve this room, but was told that he was one step late. Special Assistant Xu contacted the program team again, and the program team said that it was not a matter of money, but an arrangement by the theater.
This venue is actually quite old. It was originally a big theater in the Republic of China. I heard that the most famous troupe in the city at that time could only go to this stage twice a year. Later, it was expanded into a large venue, which specially received domestic and foreign opera troupes, hosted elegant concerts, etc. Later, in order to make a living, the venue had to put down its figure and signed commercial performance lists of various traffic stars.
The carnival style of young people is different from that of the older generation. These high-end and well-designed VIP rooms are expensive to build and use, and even if they are cheap, young people don't like them.
Fans prefer to scream in the crowd, to be the sound source of idols with their fans, and to breathe the same air as idols, if they are locked in a box, how can they scream? How to interact with idols? Who should I show the completed lamp sign banner
What I hate the most is the one-sided glass, idols can’t see me, why come to the scene, can’t I wait for the Blu-ray at home
Therefore, special assistant Xu was surprised that this happened. As Chu Hanyu's assistant, he is also a veteran in dealing with such problems, and he rarely encounters such a situation where money and power can't be justified. He thought, Lao Chu was just concerned about his son's work, since he didn't have the best ones, he might not come here. After all, the Chu family was proud and arrogant, so he definitely didn't want Chu Shaoheng to know about it.
Unexpectedly, Lao Chu only asked, "How about the angle of the stage?"
"It's good to see the stage, it's very upright."
"Then let it be." Lao Chu waved his hand, and then gave him a self-comprehensive look, "Don't make it public."
Assistant Xu: ...
So, are you really here for the concert
The boss is not really chasing stars!
Because Lao Chu still had a meeting and had to come later, Special Assistant Xu came early to "decorate" the venue. Although it is the second-best private room, the service is first-class, and because almost no one comes, the sofa seats are all new.
Special Assistant Xu arranged everything properly, and stood respectfully at the door. He had already arranged the reception outside, and the program team would lead Chu Hanyu in through the staff passage. After a while, footsteps came from the door. He thought that Old Chu had arrived early and was about to get up to greet him, but he paused when he heard the sound.
"There are no more boxes?" Chu Shaoheng frowned, "Manager Lu, do you want me to sit with the fans in the audience?"
"Young Master Chu, that's not the case. Listen to my explanation. Since you are attending as an official Chu Entertainment, we have arranged a unified media seat."
Chu Shaoheng looked at the so-called "media seats", people were next to each other, and there were silly company LOGOs hanging in front of the tables, and he had to listen to the director's arrangements to giggle at the camera later. They wanted him to be watched there
Seeing Chu Shaoheng's dissatisfaction, the theater manager hurriedly said: "How about this, Young Master Chu, I'll go to the front row to make adjustments, how about changing you to a ticket A seat with the best view? Don't worry, the first two rows are specially reserved seats. There are security guards behind the VIP seats, which are separated from the audience area."
Chu Shaoheng frowned, and the theater manager and program team were also very embarrassed, because they originally invited the marketing and operation of each company, and no one thought that after Song Siyao's incident, Chu Shaoheng would attend in person. With Chu Shaoheng's status, it is indeed inappropriate to sit in the media seat.
Chu Shaoheng turned his head and saw the two specially decorated VIP doors at the end of the corridor, which were very retro in style, as if he could still see the old theater scene of the Republic of China period through the decoration.
He said to the assistant who had been afraid to say anything: "Check, who is it?"
It's not that he wants to bully others, the people who can book here are definitely not ordinary people, they are just curious.
The theater manager turned a deaf ear to the conversation between Chu Shaoheng and his assistant, and just smiled awkwardly, but his attitude did not loosen, nor did he intend to invite Chu Shaoheng to the VIP. This is determined to lose face.
Chu Shaoheng's expression darkened, he turned and left, and walked towards the auditorium.
As soon as everyone left, Tezhu Xu, who was hiding inside the door, heaved a sigh of relief, God knows his heart was about to jump out. It's okay, it's okay, I almost bumped into the young master! If Chu Shaoheng saw him, then Old Chu would not be able to hide the fact that he came to the show. The boss urged me to keep a low profile, not to show off, and the last thing I can't tell is the young master!
Special Assistant Xu calmed his little heart, and unconsciously looked at the opposite door again. It would be great if both VIPs could make an appointment. There is another direct access over there, which is very convenient. I heard that Mr. Xie Jizhang, the most respected and respected national treasure-level quyi master, once enjoyed foreign musicals here with a certain leader and discussed the cultural differences between domestic and foreign dramas, so this channel was specially opened.
It was half an hour before the opening, but there was no movement on the other side. Could it be that this person stopped coming? If the other party's schedule is temporarily canceled, he can fight for the boss again.
It's a pity that Special Assistant Xu is doomed to be disappointed. Fifteen minutes before the opening, a group of people came in the corridor. Walking in front was a man in his fifties, dressed in decent high-end clothes, with a modest demeanor and a natural face. He heard the people behind him call him "Mr. Wen".
Mr. Wen was followed by many people. Among these people, only one person Xu Tezhu knew was Professor Sun, a cardiovascular master at the Air Force Hospital. His assistants and students seemed to be behind him, and some people were carrying medical equipment. What exactly does it do? A layman can't understand it. However, it is definitely not an ordinary person who can ask Professor Sun for a visit.
Mr. Wen led the way, pushed open the door of the box, and asked people to move all the equipment in. Professor Sun and his team also entered the box.
Assistant Xu:! ! !
This Mr. Wen looks to be at least fifty years old, is he in poor health
People with bad hearts dare to come to this kind of occasion, this is chasing stars with their lives! Is the current idol culture crazy enough
The phone vibrated, and Xu Tezhu looked down, and saw that it was Lao Chu who had arrived. Thinking that Xiao Chu was downstairs, Xu Tezhu put all these gossips behind him in an instant, and ran downstairs to meet his boss, but he must not let the father and son meet...
That's embarrassing mother crying for embarrassment - embarrassment is dead!
Xu Tezhu hurried into the elevator, so he didn't notice. Just before the elevator door closed, the elevator door on the other side opened, and another group of people came.
Xie Kai's assistant blocked the elevator door respectfully, Xie Kai pushed the wheelchair out by himself, bent down, and smiled obsequiously at the old man in the wheelchair.
"Grandpa, don't worry, the 'First Class' has already been booked for you! I greeted Grandpa Zhao from the Cultural Bureau, and he heard that you were the one who booked the private room, so he contacted the theater without further ado." Xie Kai smiled and said, "Grandpa, look, this place is still the same as it was back then."
The old man's spirit is not bad, he shook his head: "It's different, it's different a long time ago, everything has changed."
"Why is it different, I came here when I was a child, I still remember, it's like this."
"That was when you were a child." The old man's eyes were a little wistful, "It's different from when I was a child."
When Xie Kai was born, the Grand Theater had already been built. Although it hadn't been expanded yet, it was completely different from the previous stage.
It has been twenty years since Xie Jizhang came here last time. At that time, he was here as an inheritor of the quintessence of Chinese culture to conduct domestic and foreign drama and cultural exchanges. The big leaders who attended with him had retired for many years. Will come again.
Thanks for checking the time, it's almost here.
"Grandpa, I have to go down and get ready. This box has sound control equipment. Professor Sun said, you can't stay in an environment with too high decibels for a long time. Let's take a look at the excitement first. Wait... whoever comes out, we are turning on the sound .”
From here, you can overlook the middle of the stage without being too noisy. It was originally a special "social use" VIP room, but now it is just right for the old man.
Xie Jizhang leaned against the back of the chair, closed his eyes, and moved his fingertips slightly. This was to let Xie Kai be busy with himself.
Xie Kai was still not at ease, and exchanged a few words with the medical team, and finally told Steward Wen to take good care of the old man.
Wen Guanjia said: "Don't worry, young master. Before coming here, Professor Sun gave the master a comprehensive check-up, and recuperated for a month in advance. The master's physical condition is very stable recently, and there is no problem. And we will leave after listening to two songs, so we won't be tired. on."
Originally, Xie Kai was firmly opposed to his grandfather coming to the scene in person. The ninety-two-year-old fans really couldn’t afford to be hurt. In this noisy and messy environment, if something unexpected happened, he didn’t need his father to come back, so he could die and apologize .
But the old man's attitude is very firm, and he can't tolerate half wavering. If it was before, Xie Kai must have felt that his grandfather was messing around, but with the relationship of "grandfather and grandma", and knowing Shen Qi as "little junior sister" in his heart without authorization, he understood a little bit.
If grandpa wants to say which star is his fan at this age, it is bullshit and a joke, but Xie Jizhang has the most respect and admiration in his life, and there are only two people who are the most "fans". The master is like a father, who is the grace of nurturing and cultivation; the other is the grandma who has not left a name.
He insisted on coming to watch the finals today because of Grandma Shizu. In his eyes, the factory director is the "incarnation" of Grandma Shizu. Thinking about it this way, this feeling is not difficult to understand.
So Xie Kai used all his connections, including his own, Xie's family's, and his father's, and finally "distributed" the first-class cabin. He also invited the attending doctor, Professor Sun, to accompany him, and worked tirelessly on the first-aid equipment. Moved into the private room, and monitored the old man's various health indicators at any time to ensure nothing goes wrong.
Of course, the news is absolutely secret, not even the program crew knows. The theater knows a little bit, but the theater has friendship with their family, so they won't talk nonsense.
These things happened in the backstage, of course the frontcourt personnel did not know.
There were still ten minutes before the opening, and the people at the front desk couldn't find Xie Kai, who was wandering around. The senior executives of Ibis Factory were also present, and they were chatting with all partners in the audience, which was out of tune with the surrounding atmosphere.
Mr. Sun said hello to his old partners and then left. On such an occasion, as a senior executive of the ibis factory, he only needs to show his face. Before leaving, Director Li asked Lin to assist the supervisor to come out to see the boss off.
"Very good. I see that the seats for sponsors are all full. These old friends are still very face-saving." The leader spoke highly of this closing battle.
Director Li thought for a while, and said, "Wei Yi's President Ji also said before that he would bring his daughter, and we reserved a place for him, but it seems that we didn't see anyone?"
"Oh, old Ji, don't worry about him, he thinks he's an Internet celebrity now, and he's afraid of being interviewed, tell me, he's almost fifty, why is he still floating..."
"Ah Choo!"
In a high-end residence, Ji Feiyang sneezed. His wife snatched back the little daughter in his arms in disgust: "What's the matter with you, why are you facing the child?"
The little girl wrinkled her face, whether she wanted to cry or not, she was wiping her face in disgust.
Ji Feiyang pulled out a tissue embarrassingly: "It's all right, my daughter won't cry, Dad will accompany you to watch the live broadcast, and you will be able to see the young lady you like debut in a while, are you happy?"
His wife laughed at him.
Such a young child, do you know what "debut" is
Mr. Ji smiled and said nothing. He has already asked his assistant to buy some accounts, and he will invest them all before the deadline. He thought it over, no matter if she was the "eldest niece" or not, it was a matter of fate, spending a small amount of money to push her was nothing to Wei Yi, as for going to the scene... just skip it. Dad said - Ji family, do good deeds, don't leave your name!
The live broadcast room has been opened, and the barrage has to be cleared every three minutes. The previous editing round was almost broadcast, and the program team simply cut the screen to the outside of the venue and the auditorium, interviewing various fans, and giving everyone a cheer Opportunity.
Shen Qi and the others have already changed into uniform uniforms, which were worn by everyone in the first episode of "Once Upon a Time" when recording group dances.
Shen Qi looked down from the side platform and saw He Beidi sitting upright in the front row, looking down at his mobile phone intently, feeling like he was reading in a busy city. The front row was specially reserved by the program team for the company's top management, partners and family members. Looking around, they were either middle-aged leaders with a big belly, or beautiful women with children in their arms. Sitting in it, He Beidi seemed to stand out from the crowd.
But soon, another crane came.
Chu Shaoheng looked at the only empty seat and He Beidi next to him, his expression was not very good.
He Beidi was also very surprised, he thought that Chu Yu fell so badly this time, that Chu Shaoheng would not come no matter what.
The two stared at each other for a while, not knowing what to say for a while.
In the end, Chu Shaoheng pursed the corners of his mouth and sat down, feeling a little "condescending".
He Beidi let out a "tsk", and continued to play with his mobile phone as if there was no one else around. He also sent Shen Qi a WeChat message—
"Did you play? Guess who's sitting next to me?"
After a while, Shen Qi sent her back a picture, which was taken from the side stage, besides He Beidi's handsome side face, and Chu Shaoheng with a stinky face next to him, and a message, seven words —
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha"
He Beidi: ... A bad girl who gloats at others' misfortune!
In the last five minutes of the opening, the admission has already ended. Under the guidance of Special Assistant Xu, Chu Hanyu directly entered the VIP box. The lighting was too chaotic, so he didn't see Chu Shaoheng in the front row. This made a nervous Xu Tezhu heave a sigh of relief.
The show is about to start, and the warm-up host is already leading the fans to count down. The hands of each family are dancing, the lights are gorgeous, and there are large pieces of fluorescent sticks, which look like eye-catching nebulae.
"five four three two one!"
As soon as the lights dimmed, the audience erupted, and half a second later, the big screen lit up. In the soft and lyrical BGM, the past scenes of the contestants are replayed, competition assessment, training camp life, stage challenges again and again, accompanied by cute faces that have long been engraved in the hearts of fans...
"Hello mentor, we are the Sweety girl group."
"I am Su Jing, a personal trainee. My dream is to let more young people understand traditional culture and the beauty of folk art."
"This is my first time participating in the program. My name is Tang Xiaoshi, and my self-assessment grade is F."
"I am Amy, a Chinese girl from France. My father is from China. I like this place too..."
"Hi everyone, we are trainees from NA Entertainment, and I'm Shen Qi."
"I'm Shen Yuan."
"We are the second aunt combination!"
"..."
The 30-second short film screening ended, and before everyone could express their emotions, the stage returned to darkness again, but only for a moment. In the next second, the stage was brightly lit, and twenty trainees rose slowly from the central lifting platform, arranged in a triangle. Standing at the forefront was the current TOP1 Shenqi, and at the same time, there was familiar background music, the theme song "Shining Girl".
The venue erupted instantly.
"Shining Shining! Pick me up! Shining Shining girls go ahead! Shining Shining! Pick me up! Dreams come true today!"
The 20 contestants seemed to burst out with all their strength, their smiles were brimming, and their dances were light and powerful. The stage was full of youth and honey, and the scene was infected by it, and all the supporters shook their heads with all their strength.
He Beidi looked at the girl in the middle of the stage, and felt that Shen Qi was glowing. For a moment, his head was filled with pink honey, and he was a little addicted, wanting to forget about work and everything, just immersed in this sweetness...
Is this what chasing stars feels like? Are these fans in the same mood as him now
He Beidi always felt that something was wrong, and it was not like he had never been in contact with other artists, but this was the first time he lost his mind at the scene.
Because the distance is very close, Shen Qi of course also saw him. When dancing, he always seemed to face this direction as if there was nothing, and even flew over Wink playfully. Their eyes met, and He Beidi's heart skipped a beat.
"Cough." There was a slight cough in his ear.
He Beidi looked and saw that Chu Shaoheng beside him was also staring straight at the stage. Behind Shen Qi's Wink, he covered his mouth and coughed lightly, his eyes flickered, and his ears... had a suspicious rosiness.
He Beidi:? ?
— Brother, have you misunderstood something? Don't pick up things that aren't for you
