Fans (1)
Bai Qi was perhaps silent in place for about ten seconds, as everyone’s gazes were still focused on his body and displayed ample horror.
Bai Qi: “……”
Bai Qi: “What a coincidence.”
The three words broke a bit of the eerily stagnant atmosphere.
Xiang Jingran was the first to smile, and when he smiled, his eyes narrowed slightly, forming a somewhat curved arc.
His facial features were exquisite, and he deserved Bai Qi’s quiet praise for his “peerless look” behind Xi Chengyun’s back.
Xiang Jingran didn’t look at Bai Qi but at Frank as he said, “Hello, I’ve seen you on the news.” Then, he followed up by asking, “You should recognize me, right? From the video Mr. Bai sent you.”
Bai Qi:?
‘Delete the latter half of that sentence, and I’ll still be a good wall fan for you!’
Frank looked left and right, slightly bewildered for a second. But as Xiang Jingran said, he did recognize him.
So Frank lightly nodded, and for politeness, he also complimented a couple more words. “Your stage performance at the Shen City Stadium when you were 16 was wonderful.”
Xiang Jingran: “Wow! Mr. Bai sent you the video when I was 16, too.”
How peculiar.
Frank nodded and went along with the conversation without giving it a second thought. “There’s also the one at the Jushi Venue, the one in a competing variety show when you were 17, and……”
‘Don’t continue anymore!’
Bai Qi thought intently for half a minute about whether it was feasible to pack up Xi-laoshi’s younger brother and sell him on the spot.
‘Ah, it’s hard to be a good sister-in-law.’
‘It has only been less than an hour on the job, but I didn’t want to continue doing it anymore.’
But without waiting for Bai Qi to interrupt, Xia Yang over there couldn’t help but interject.
The end of Xia Yang’s eyebrows raised as he grabbed the first opportunity to open his mouth, ‘‘What about me? How many videos of me have you watched?”
Frank: “Eleven, maybe more……?”
Xia Yang raised his eyebrows and nodded contentedly. “Mm.”
Xiang Jingran interjected, “Are you better at singing or dancing?”
Frank smiled awkwardly as he whispered, “Neither is very……”
Xiang Jingran nodded in understanding and said, “Mm, then I suggest you learn to dance more. It will make your stage presence seem to have more power to impress people.”
Xia Yang: “No one will want you if you sing out of tune……”
Frank: “……”
Just bewildered.
He couldn’t help but look back at Bai Qi.
At this time, Xiang Jingran finally looked at Bai Qi again. He smiled and said, “Are you still free to follow the stars lately? It’s okay if you don’t have time. Can I add you on WeChat? I can send you a copy of my recent performance files.”
Bai Qi: ?????
‘Damn, so tempting!’
By this time, the others had also been stunned by what they had heard.
F**k, was this the joy of being the number one fan? The rightful owner making his resource files himself and actively feeding them to his fans’ mouths?
Xia Yang lifted his eyelids. “Performance files?”
An apparent disdain came through his dark pupils.
Xia Yang: “My concert next month on the 13th, coming? Save the first row seats for you.”
Bai Qi:?
‘Damn it.’
‘This one is also a bit tempting!’
Zhou Qiyuan, who had never made a sound, walked up from the back unhurriedly.
He had debuted earlier than them and had already made a successful transformation, gradually being labeled as an “actor,” young and accomplished,” and even “capable of taking over the position of Movie Star Xi.”
He carried a more mature male temperament, with a bit more stability in his demeanor.
Standing there, just like a reliable tall tree.
Zhou Qiyuan’s face was handsome, but he had recently shot a movie with a demanding director, for which he had done weight-lifting for half a year and had also tanned himself into having bronze skin in the mountains and forests.
‘He looks like a tough guy.’
‘Still quite handsome.’
Bai Qi thought so.
Zhou Qiyuan asked, “Are you bringing this friend to record a self-introduction and talent display?” He paused and said, “It might be faster to go this way. Let me take you there?”
He abruptly broke the peculiar battle between the two young idols, rising above others, seemingly higher a few ranks than them.
As if a junior high school student was making his rounds in an elementary school.
Bai Qi also felt it was best to get this over quickly, so he nodded happily.
He smiled with incomparable sincerity at Xia Yang and Xiang Jingran and said, “Bye-bye.”
Xiang Jingran: “……”
“Frank, this way.”
Frank nodded and hurriedly followed Zhou Qiyuan with Bai Qi.
The others were truly envious beyond envy this time.
Whether Xiang Jingran personally fed the resource files or Xia Yang reserved the first row of the concert, they were envious, but it wasn’t something necessary. But when Zhou Qiyuan personally led the way to record the self-introduction, every trainee wanted that!
Zhou Qiyuan took the lead and left.
Xia Yang and Xiang Jingran didn’t stay behind. They took another elevator and went upstairs.
Leaving some of the trainees in place to look at each other in dismay. After a while, their voices sounded soft, seemingly sour. “Hey, how come I don’t have any friends, relatives, or big shots casually known when recording a show who happens to be the number one true fan of the current traffic?”
“…… Lying down and dreaming now may happen faster.”
Zhou Qiyuan and the others were already famous, so of course, they took the role of mentors.
It could even be said that inviting a few of them together to this stage was actually considered a waste of talent.
They were only here in advance to walk through the script. If there were anything inappropriate, they would promptly bring it up with the program team to make adjustments, as the start of the recording was just around the corner.
