288. A good relationship with the artist does not mean a good relationship with the manager.
"Oh, you really worked hard."
Liu Xin'an carried a bag and pushed open the practice room where Momo's group was. He looked at the five beautiful female artists gathering together and said hello with a smile.
Lu Xiao turned back to look at Liu Xin'an, and his eyes lit up when he saw the bag Liu Xin'an was holding.
"Brother Anzi is here to visit the class. Come as soon as you come, what else do you bring with you!"
As she spoke, she walked up to Liu Xin'an very sincerely and reached out to take the bag.
The things Liu Xin'an brought were naturally cut and divided fruits.
You definitely can’t come empty-handed when visiting a class, but you definitely can’t bring delicious food to visit this group of people.
Rounding things off and preparing some delicious fruits is naturally the best solution chosen by Liu Xin'an.
"Oh! There are some fruits, including cantaloupe. I'm so distracted."
Momo also joined in. As Twice's dancer, after choosing the songs, all she had to do was break down the dances one by one for everyone.
The song was chosen by someone else. She listened to it for a long time last night, watched the music video again, and finally thought about the choreography based on her own experience.
The progress so far is quite fast.
"Thank you~"
"How's it going? Are you still getting used to it?" Liu Xin'an looked at Momo and asked softly.
"Well, it's very good. Everyone is also very kind to me. The hot pot last night was so delicious." Momo answered truthfully. Everyone was still very enthusiastic towards her. After one night of contact, she has relaxed a lot.
At least I won't sit there with my head down and not say a word like before.
"That's fine, you can continue your work, I won't disturb you anymore."
Liu Xin'an put down his things, waved with a smile, turned around and walked out of the practice room.
A cameraman walked up to him while pushing the camera, and asked in a low voice: "What is Brother Anzi going to do next?"
Liu Xin'an raised his eyebrows, looked at the camera pointed at him, and lowered his voice: "Since I am the team leader now, I must think about my team members."
As he spoke, he reached the door of the next room without stopping at all.
Through the closed door, he could vaguely hear the music in the room. He reached out to the camera and raised a finger to signal the cameraman following him to be quiet. Liu Xin'an held his breath and carefully pushed open the room.
The practice room filled with music.
Naturally, he had to find out some information for his team members!
Yes, he just came here to take a peek.
The women in the practice room didn't seem to notice his move to open the practice room door, and the familiar sound of music also made Liu Xin'an startled.
In terms of song selection, it must be Chinese songs that everyone is familiar with. After all, this is a domestic variety show, and it must not be selected for a few foreign artists.
But to be honest, there are really not many domestic songs that are suitable for adaptation into girl group songs.
This group was rather lucky in their choice of songs. They actually chose a song that had a very light style but required relatively high singing skills.
It may not be a problem to sing in a girl group, but this song... is far from that good.
Sun Shengwan, who was stunned and dancing to the rhythm of the music, picked up the microphone and sang while dancing. He hit the high notes without any pressure, which scared Liu Xin'an who was peeking at the door.
Big jump.
"Good guy..."
His shocked murmurs were not obvious in the busy practice room, but someone still noticed Liu Xin'an who came to join in the fun.
Song Ying glanced at Liu Xin'an, but didn't care too much.
It wasn't until the end of a song and everyone was high-fiving each other to celebrate the perfect performance that someone discovered Liu Xin'an who had come uninvited.
"Tell me the truth, why did you come here? To gather information, right?"
In front of a group of women, a man would definitely not be able to please him. Before Liu Xin'an could react, he was dragged in by Song Ying, and the door behind him was tightly closed by Sun Shengwan.
He looked at Sun Shengwan in surprise, but the latter just showed an innocent expression.
It's a bit like they usually chat together. Isn't this person afraid of being exposed?
"Let me just take a look. She sings really well. It's amazing."
Liu Xin'an clapped his hands and praised him sincerely, but how could such a level of flattery be hidden from these women?
"What song did Momo choose?" Sun Shengwan came forward. She was most familiar with Momo, so she naturally asked Liu Xin'an this question.
But the person who answered her was Liu Xin'an's blank face.
Are you kidding me, can the team leader sell the team members?
"Sister Ying, he didn't say anything!"
"Don't let him go without saying anything. Just watch us practice here today."
Song Ying waved her hand and sneered, announcing Liu Xin'an's follow-up arrangements.
This made Liu Xin'an helpless.
Of course, everyone was joking more for the sake of the show's effect. In fact, as for the song selection, as long as any of them took the initiative to go over and listen to it, they would most likely know it.
Seeing that the effect of the show was already there, Liu Xin'an stopped hiding it. He told the other party the song chosen by their team, and successfully got four of them to have a look of astonishment.
Sun Shengwan was confused. She didn't understand anyway, and none of this mattered to her.
"Are your choreographers ready?"
When mentioning the choreography, several people showed complacent expressions, among them Song Ying raised her chin with a look of pride.
Just kidding, she is a serious dancer, and she is also the kind of dancer who is responsible for choreographing for artists.
Although most of the domestic groups are of mixed quality, most of them are relatively professional in terms of song production and choreography.
Song Ying's dance troupe happened to have choreographed for a boy group that had debuted in China before.
Their team is typically good at dancing but weak at singing.
However, Son Seung-wan's singing skills make up for this very well. Red Velvet's overall strength is very strong, especially in terms of dancing and singing skills.
Son Seung-wan's singing skills are definitely not inferior to those of her long-established seniors. With such a good voice, she is more than enough to be the lead singer in a girl group.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And the team she is in happens to lack a character like her.
"Looking at you, the choreographer is almost ready."
"Of course, don't underestimate our sister Ying, she is a professional."
"Of course I know about the S-T-17 Dance Troupe, but I suddenly feel that your presence, Sister Ying, is a bit excessive. Director, I protest!"
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
Liu Xin'an must have done this homework in advance. He smiled and joked, looking at the camera with a look of indignation on his face.
"This is an advantage. Why don't you say that we only have Wendy singing here? She is still a foreigner, and Chinese is difficult for her."
Thinking about it carefully, among the foreign artists this time, it seems that Son Seung-wan really suffered the most.
Momo and Lisa are both talented dancers, let alone Song Yuqi, who is a serious Chinese.
Only Son Seung-wan, because of her outstanding singing skills, must play various high-pitched positions in the group. Being involved in singing means that she has the greatest pressure among all foreign artists in terms of learning Chinese.
Is Son Seung-wan smart? In fact, Son Seung-wan, who knows many languages, is definitely no less talented than Liu Xin-an in terms of language talent.
But the difficulty of learning Chinese is still there, not to mention that the pronunciation needs to be corrected during singing.
"Uh...come on, Wendy!"
Liu Xin'an knew that this was indeed difficult for Sun Shengwan, so after a few seconds of silence, he showed a gloating expression and encouraged Sun Shengwan.
Sun Shengwan curled her lips and didn't say anything. She just sat down with her legs crossed and her waist hunched over. She didn't have the slightest sense of image management as a female artist.
Well...it can be seen that Miss Sun has completely adapted to the feeling of being here. As expected of Sun Shengwan, she easily accomplished what Momo couldn't do.
After staying in the practice room for a while, Liu Xin'an finally got out and walked out.
As soon as he went out, the first thing Liu Xin'an did was to reach out and wipe the sweat from his forehead.
This activity can be said to have exposed him to all the opposite sexes he had not met in the past few years at once.
To be honest, facing so many beautiful people of the opposite sex at once is not a particularly happy thing.
Especially these women are very gossipy.
The frightened Liu Xin'an glanced at the other two training rooms farther away, thought for a few seconds, and finally gave up the idea of continuing to inquire about the information.
The third group that Lisa is in is actually okay. After all, he and Lisa are not familiar with each other at all. The other artists in that group are also relatively quiet-tempered, but the fourth group that Song Yuqi is in...
Let's put it this way, that group was the one that really made Liu Xin'an feel cold and sweaty.
The conscientious Liu Xin'an turned around and left. This time, he did not show up to the first group again, but went straight downstairs.
On the second floor are four practice rooms specially provided for artists.
As for the first floor...
Liu Xin'an pushed open the door of the room and immediately saw ten computers neatly arranged in the room, as well as two large TVs on the other side, with switch and PS5 connected to them respectively.
Well, no XBX, bad review!
Yes, this is the game room that will be used exclusively for filming extras of the show in the next two days.
As we all know, the most popular area in Xiaopo Station is the living area, and the second largest area is naturally the game area.
Variety shows are considered a living area, so the second largest game area, Xiaobaozhan will definitely not let it go.
In addition, the work of the four team leaders is actually more or less related to the game, and the current popularity of "Two Team" is so popular...
Yes, the popularity of "Two People" has stimulated the development of the game industry to a certain extent. If we don't take advantage of this popularity, the program team will feel a loss!
Who doesn’t want to see a beautiful lady holding the controller, and then showing a coquettish expression because of the clumsy operation?
Hmm... Hardcore players probably don't want to see it, they will just think that teammates who don't know how to play games are an obstacle.
But this program is not for hardcore gamers.
Fans can watch it if they like!
The program team clearly knew this and prepared the game room early.
———
"Wendy, come."
After leading Bae Zhuhyun, who had already changed clothes and put on makeup, to the shooting scene, Sung Taeqian waved to Son Seungwan, who was looking at him, and gestured for Son Seungwan to come over.
Although he didn't know what he was being asked to do, Sun Shengwan still trotted over honestly.
The first thing she did was to hug her sister Bae Zhuhyun, whom she had not seen for a whole day, and then said in a nasal voice like a baby: "I miss you so much, Sister Zhuhyun~"
"Woo~"
Bae Zhuhyun also misses Son Seungwan very much. She didn't realize it before. Now that she is in a foreign country, the only two people she is close to are one who cannot be honest with each other because of her status, and the other who cannot be together all the time because of work problems. Bae Zhuhyun is also under pressure.
not small.
"Sister Zhuhyun, let me introduce you to everyone."
After expressing his longing for her, Son Seung-wan enthusiastically stretched out his hand to hold Bae Joo-hyun, intending to introduce his beautiful sister, who made him extremely proud, to his new group of friends.
It must be said that the hospitality and enthusiasm of the Chinese people left a deep impression on Sun Shengwan. She originally thought that Liu Xin'an was just an exception, but she did not expect that most Chinese people were so enthusiastic.
Last night, Song Ying was worried that she wouldn't fit in, so she dragged her along and chatted with everyone all night.
After learning about the horrific injury she suffered the year before last, two people with strong empathy even cried on the spot. Of course, Son Seung-wan himself actually found it quite inexplicable...
"Ah? Do you want to introduce me?"
Pei Zhuxuan was a little panicked. She had never thought that such a thing would happen.
It was somewhat difficult for her to meet so many strangers at one time.
And does she really need to know these people? Does she need to appear with these people in promotional meetings?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! She only thought about appearing on the scene with Liu Xin'an.
"Everyone is a very nice person."
Pei Zhuhyun kept shrinking back, mainly because her affairs were so turbulent half a year ago, and she didn't want to continue to hurt her sisters because of this incident.
Is it better to treat it as cold as possible?
"Let's go get acquainted and say hello."
Cheng Taiqian also said aloud, and now Pei Zhuxuan had no place to shrink.
Helpless, she had no choice but to let the excited Son Seung-wan pull her to several unfamiliar artists.
Mi Mi Hu Hu introduced herself in Chinese with a weird accent. After answering a few questions, she was pulled back by Sun Shengwan.
Well, it's really just a simple greeting.
She said "Yes" and "No" from beginning to end, with a few "Yes, yes, yes" and "No, no, no" mixed in from time to time.
"So why did Brother Taiqian call me here? Do you want to see me if you need anything?"
After introducing Bae Zhuhyun to everyone, Son Seungwan finally remembered that he was called out by Sung Taeqian.
She tilted her head in confusion and asked her agent playfully.
"Has Mr. Liu Xin'an come here today?"
Cheng Taiqian's question has revealed the purpose of his visit this time.
Strike while the iron is hot. After learning yesterday that Liu Xinan is actually a fan of Bae Zhuhyun, he will take advantage of this news in advance today.
"Brother Taiqian, are you going to take advantage of others' popularity today?"
Sun Shengwan had a look of disgust on his face, even if others didn't care. When he thought that the person who was so popular for a while was actually Liu Xin'an, Sun Shengwan felt indescribably awkward.
Another person who feels the same way is Bae Joo Hyun.
Although there was indeed a sneaky excitement, but what can I say, it had been like this for two days in a row, and she was a little annoyed.
"Yes, Brother Taiqian, if Mr. Liu Xin'an... is really a fan of ours, and we always go over there from time to time, won't people feel a sense of disillusionment?"
Bae Joo-hyun continued following Son Seung-wan's words. It was only the second day of filming. Things like taking advantage of the popularity... let's wait and see.
After all, they are also one of the top girl groups, although the Chinese market is extremely important to them... to their entire company.
But doing this all the time is too downgraded.
"You are right, so let's count today..."
"Oh? Tai Qian, how are you doing?"
A male voice interrupted Cheng Taiqian's words. Cheng Taiqian subconsciously looked at the man who was smiling at him, and then showed a sly expression.
"Zai De Ge, long time no see, how have you been lately?"
The managers of two super girl groups met. Unlike the girl group members who only represented their respective teams, these two managers actually represented their own companies.
Therefore, when Cheng Taiqian and Han Zaide met, there was absolutely no such thing as "love each other".
The tit-for-tat confrontation between the two men also made Bae Zhuhyun and Son Seungwan subconsciously look at the cute girl who was following Han Zaide.
Lin Nayeon also looked over. She first rolled her eyes helplessly at Han Zaide in front of her, then walked directly to Bae Zhuhyun and Sun Shengwan, and excitedly reached out and hugged the two.
Beauty Tie Tie always enjoys beautiful scenery wherever she goes, and here is no exception.
"Sister Eileen! Sister Wendy! Long time no see~"
"Nayeon~Long time no see."
Pei Zhuxuan also hugged Lin Nalian back. After Sun Shengwan also hugged back, she asked with a smile: "Aren't you busy returning recently? Isn't it okay to come here now?"
"I'm going to fly directly to Neon in two days. Momo will also go with me for a day and then rush back."
"Wow, it's so hard." Son Seungwan curled his lips and sighed, feeling hard for Lin Nayeon, "You Neon will be back in May, and you will be back in June...JYP president is really too much."
"Yes, yes, I also think that the president has gone too far!"
Bae Zhuhyun stood aside silently. She wanted to complain along with her, but what to say...Firstly, it would have a bad impact if word spread about it. She could complain about Lee Soo Man, and Lin Nayeon could complain about JYP, but if it were the other way around...
Something big will happen.
Furthermore, JYP, Park Jin Young, is my boyfriend’s uncle.
And he is very likely to become her uncle in the future.
It's best not to complain about your elders.
"By the way, Nayeon, what are you going to do? Are you going to visit Momo?"
Bae Zhuhyun decided to change the topic from complaining about her boss.
Lin Nalian tilted her head and looked at Pei Zhuhyun, and nodded: "Yes, by the way, I went to the team leader of momo to shoot a promotional video."
"...publicity?"
"Hmm, Sister Eileen, your purpose of coming here this time should be the same as mine. Do you want to come with me?"
The love between the women here is in great contrast to the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two agents.
Pei Zhuxuan glanced at Lin Nayuan who was looking forward to it, and then at the two managers who were communicating with each other in various yin and yang ways, and felt a little silent for a while.
